Chapter 339: If You’re Not Enemies You Won’t Meet

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The helicopter only flew in the sky for about twenty minutes.

In the middle of the night, looking down from the sky, you could only see occasional lights below.

Nothing else was visible.

As the helicopter descended, Wang Ye continued to survey the situation outside.

This should be the direct subordinate helicopter squadron of the division.

There were also other armed helicopters parked around.

But the number was quite small.

It seemed like there were only five or six in total.

“Let’s go, get off!”

When the aircraft landed, the chief of staff looked at Wang Ye and said.

Then he got off the aircraft first.

Wang Ye picked up his bag and quickly followed.

“Keep up!”

Without any delay, after getting off the plane, although someone saluted the chief of staff, he just returned the salute and let them do their own thing.

Now with Wang Ye in tow, he walked towards a jeep parked not far away.

Seeing the chief of staff approaching, some soldiers had already opened the car door.

The chief of staff got in directly.

“Get in!

“Yes!”

After Wang Ye responded, he got in with his bag.

He was unfamiliar with the place and had no autonomy right now. He would do whatever the chief of staff asked him to do.

Soon, the vehicle started.

After leaving the airfield, it drove for two or three minutes within the camp.

Finally, after leaving the camp gate and driving on the mountainous road outside, it took another ten minutes or so.

It was almost 8:30 when the car finally drove into another camp gate.

The vehicle drove for a while within this camp and stopped directly in front of a building.

“Well-disciplined! Capable of winning battles!”

Wang Ye saw the prominent characters hanging upstairs at a glance.

Obviously, this was a company’s dormitory building.

In fact, there were some soldiers moving around in the vicinity.

When Wang Ye followed the chief of staff out of the car, he also saw people inside the building moving about.

Today was Saturday, and even reconnaissance units rested on Saturday nights.

After all, during the National Day holiday, the military didn’t rest until the 7th.

They had started training a while ago, so having a break on this weekend was normal.

As soon as Wang Ye got out of the car, he saw two people rushing out of a room on the first floor.

“Good evening, sir!”

The second company commander and the instructor came forward together.

At this moment, as they saluted, they also looked a bit stunned when they saw Wang Ye.

What’s going on?

Why is Wang Ye here?

They had no idea that the chief of staff was going to pick up Wang Ye.

The chief of staff hadn’t told them in advance.

“Hehe, Wang Ye, you all know each other, right!” The chief of staff pointed to Wang Ye, who had put down his bag.

“Good evening, sirs!” Wang Ye saluted the two of them.

Since he didn’t know their names, he just called them “sirs.”

The second company commander and the instructor looked at Wang Ye and their faces were clearly still puzzled.

“Sir, this is…” the second company commander hesitated.

At this moment, some reconnaissance soldiers who had come out to stroll around were all watching.

In fact, at this moment, the atmosphere in the building had become a bit heated.

“Oh my god, Wang Gang, come and see, Wang Ye is here!”

At the entrance of a dormitory room, someone ran in and quickly shouted in a hushed voice.

“Wang Ye has graduated from the training camp, and the division has arranged for him to come to your second company for a period of learning!”

The chief of staff spoke directly.

After saying this, the chief of staff looked at the two of them and said again, “Well, it’s a temporary assignment, but you don’t need to treat him as a temporary assignment. Just treat him as a new recruit in your second company!”

“All! This…” The second company commander’s mind felt a bit chaotic for a moment.

In fact, if it were someone else, any soldier, if they were too subpar, he might directly decline, or even tell the chief of staff that he would only accept them after they passed an assessment.

But if it were a highly skilled soldier, like one who had achieved a ranking in previous competitions, he would be more than willing to accept them, and might even thank the chief of staff with a smile.

After all, everyone liked a good soldier, especially in their reconnaissance company. Every year, they competed to recruit the best soldiers, and the company commanders were always eager to get their hands on them.

But this time, it was Wang Ye.

At this moment, he really didn’t know what to say.

They liked good soldiers, but eccentric ones were a different story.

This was the guy who broke the division’s record in the 5-kilometer run, shattered the military district’s record in the 400 meters, and excelled in all other events in the division-level competitions.

Looking at the chief of staff’s smile, he began to suspect if it was because of that embarrassing incident when they attacked the Iron Bones Hero Regiment that the chief of staff was displeased with him.

Otherwise, why would they bring in an eccentric like this for no apparent reason?

And treat him as a new recruit?

If he’s a new recruit, what about us old soldiers? How can we compete with him?

At this moment, the second company commander was feeling annoyed, wanting to refuse but lacking an excuse.

An assessment? Come on, does this guy even need one?

Wang Ye, at this moment, was also looking at the captain in front of him.

He could sense that the captain seemed to be somewhat resistant to him.

But he didn’t say anything.

He was just a soldier.

Just follow orders.

At this moment, Wang Ye still didn’t know that he had been assigned to a company that had clashed with him in the past, even though there were people around, he didn’t recognize anyone.

Firstly, there weren’t many reconnaissance soldiers he had seen the last time.

Secondly, among those he had seen last time, they either had makeup on or were wearing camouflage paint on their faces.

In this situation, even if they appeared in front of Wang Ye now, he wouldn’t be able to recognize them without careful scrutiny.

“Alright, enough of this and that. Wang Ye, he’s your responsibility now!” The chief of staff didn’t say much and left after dropping this statement, heading back to the car.

“Chief!”

At this moment, Wang Ye called him to a halt.

The chief of staff turned back.

Wang Ye hurriedly spoke, “Chief, I haven’t received my graduation certificate from the training camp yet, and I’m still wearing the trainee shoulder insignia!”

Wang Ye felt a bit helpless.

Although the training camp assessment had ended, the graduation ceremony was scheduled for tomorrow. Now, he couldn’t attend the graduation ceremony, didn’t have his graduation certificate, and, most importantly, he was still wearing the trainee shoulder insignia.

During the previous competition, Kang Hua had said that he had become a “Second Crutch,” and he had mentioned it again during the awards ceremony.

But after he had the “First Crutch” insignia removed back then, he had been consistently wearing the trainee shoulder insignia.

“I’ll have someone bring it over tomorrow!” The chief of staff looked at Wang Ye and said with a smile, then got back into the car.

Wang Ye felt a bit helpless, but the chief of staff closed the car door, and the vehicle started and left directly.

Turning his head, Wang Ye looked at the two captains in front of him and the soldiers gathering around.

“Damn, it’s really him!”

“Damn it, how did he come here?”

“Looking at his appearance, he’s not here to serve in our second company, is he?”

“Good heavens!”

At the entrance of the hallway, many people ran down at this moment.

“What are you doing, what are you doing? Is this a vegetable market? Why did you all come running down? Acting all idle, huh? Well, those of you who just came down and those surrounding, head to the training ground and run for an hour!”

The second company commander was already quite frustrated inside, and now, seeing these chattering guys around him, he immediately turned and shouted.

In an instant, some of the people who had been running down hastily applied the brakes.

But those who had already come out suddenly felt their scalps tingle and even had the urge to hit someone.

Who the hell just called us down?

Now it’s great, they just called us down and told us to run for an hour.

Damn it, it’s Saturday, and we didn’t even get a break during the day. We could only have some free time after dinner. Now that we finally have a little break, we’re told to run for an hour.

This is ridiculous!

However, no one dared to resist. Although they felt like their teeth were aching, under the stern gaze of the second company commander, they turned around and headed to the training ground together.

Wang Ye watched this scene with slight astonishment.

This reconnaissance company is tough!

They don’t even measure the run by kilometers, they just go by hours.

Soon, the surroundings quieted down.

There were still people inside the building, but they didn’t dare to show their heads, at most they peeked out from the windows.

And in front of Wang Ye, there were only the two captains.

“Let’s go, follow me for now!”

Looking at Wang Ye, the second company commander, who hadn’t said anything until now, smiled and spoke as he gestured for Wang Ye to follow.

There was no way around it; the die had been cast, and the chief of staff had left him behind.

In this situation, whether they wanted Wang Ye or not, they had to accept him.

The second company commander didn’t say anything, but he turned as well.

Wang Ye followed the two of them, not going upstairs but directly through the door they had just come out of.

“Do you want some water?”

The captain who had called Wang Ye to follow him walked over to the water dispenser.

“Thank you, sir!” Wang Ye didn’t decline, as he had used a cup to pour some water.

“As a reconnaissance soldier, you must always remain vigilant. Can you just drink water given to you by a stranger?”

Very suddenly, as Wang Ye was about to take a sip with a smile, the second company commander, who had just lit a cigarette, glanced at him and said these words.

Instantly, Wang Ye’s hand holding the cup froze.

At that moment, Wang Ye was speechless.

“Alright, alright, Lao Jiang, smoke your cigarette!” The captain who was pouring water for Wang Ye smiled and said as he looked at Wang Ye.

Then he looked at Wang Ye again and said, “Go ahead and drink. I’m not a stranger; we’re going to be brothers in the same trench from now on.”

“Yes!”

Wang Ye smiled and responded, no longer hesitating, and downed the glass of water in one gulp.

At that moment, Wang Ye couldn’t help but mutter to himself internally.

“I’ve drunk it, do you dare to poison me? Seriously, even if you want to assert your authority, can’t you find a better way? I just arrived, and you put on this sour face. Who are you trying to impress?”

Wang Ye did feel a bit resentful.

Since he enlisted, when has he ever been treated like this?

Up to this point, Wang Ye still hadn’t realized that this company had a history with him.

After watching Wang Ye finish his water, the captain smiled again and spoke, “Let me introduce myself. I’m the instructor of the second company, my name is Rong Dongfeng, and this is the company commander of the second company, Jiang Nan.”

He pointed to the captain who was smoking and introduced him.

“Instructor, hello!” Wang Ye saluted, then turned and maintained a saluting posture as he looked at the captain who was smoking and said, “Company commander, hello!”

“Okay, you don’t need to salute!” The instructor smiled and said, then looked at the company commander.

“Where should we assign Wang Ye?”

The company commander asked, looking over.

Having smoked half a cigarette in several puffs, he looked at Wang Ye and suddenly asked, “Do you know why I’m treating you like this?”

He didn’t respond to the instructor’s words; instead, he asked this question directly.

“I don’t know!” Wang Ye answered truthfully.

He was actually wondering…

“Do you remember the inter-unit training exercise your division conducted earlier this year?”

“Huh?” Wang Ye’s eyes widened instantly.

He stared at the captain.

At that moment, Wang Ye internally cursed the chief of staff who had just left in three words.

What was he trying to do?

The division’s reconnaissance battalion has three reconnaissance companies, right?

Why did he have to send him here?

This was asking for trouble!

“Do you remember?” the company commander repeated.

Wang Ye didn’t speak; he didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, Wang Ye was a bit speechless.

In fact, at this moment, Wang Ye had a feeling similar to when he went to the Criminal Investigation Company to find Wan Baojiang back in the day. He entered the Criminal Investigation Company building, knocked on the door of the Discipline Platoon, and saw a row of white-capped soldiers.

He had entered the enemy’s lair!

If he remembered correctly, he had helped them crack a case back then, and they must remember him.

And if he recalled correctly, they had also mocked those two reconnaissance soldiers back then…

Now, Wang Ye just hoped that he wouldn’t be assigned to their platoon later.

Otherwise, it would be really awkward..
