“I’m sorry, but you must compensate today.

Damn it! I worked so hard planting sugarcane with my daughter, and you crushed so much of it in an instant.

You must compensate me today…”

The auntie sat directly on the ground.

Wen Xiaoman, who was now disguised as her daughter, she had a straw hat hanging at the back of her head. Her face, from the nose down, was covered with a slightly dirty black veil. She crouched beside her mother, supporting her but not saying a word.

The veil on her face served as protection against the sun and dust while working.

The first time Wang Ye saw them, her daughter was dressed like this. It was also because of this that Wang Ye, even though he knew that they had come here to sell sugarcane together before, chose this method.

In this way, with Wen Xiaoman and her daughter having similar body shapes, similar ages, and even similar skin tones, the chances of exposure were still low as long as they kept their heads down and stayed quiet, allowing the auntie to take the lead.

After all, the auntie and others had told Wang Ye that when selling sugarcane, not many soldiers actually came to buy. They usually sent representatives who would come and take bundles of it at once.

Few people had seen them, and in the past, when they went to sell sugarcane, her daughter would dress up nicely before going.”

After all, daughters always want to look beautiful, especially when going to places full of men, so they pay great attention to their appearance.

In this situation, wearing dirty work clothes and a veil wrapped around her face was perfectly reasonable for her daughter.

In fact, right now, Fu Wei, standing here, didn’t even notice Wen Xiaoman.

He was feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

He was the platoon leader of a Police Reconnaissance Company and usually had some authority.

But now, facing a fellow villager sitting on the ground, he had a headache!

How should he handle this?

He had never experienced this kind of situation before.

it

No, Auntie, please rest assured. We’re not refusing to compensate you, it’s just that, as I mentioned, we are currently in the middle of an exercise. Once the exercise is over, we will compensate you. Please trust us, we won’t default on our promise!”

Inwardly, Fu Wei had cursed the person who had crushed the sugarcane of their fellow villager hundreds of times already, but on his face, he had to force a smile to appease the auntie.

Of course, the auntie was not going to fall for this.

If she hadn’t come with a mission, she probably wouldn’t have bothered too much, just a few words, showing her identity, and setting a time for compensation would have sufficed.

But today, the auntie had come with a mission.

“No, if you soldiers decide to run off in the middle of the night one day, where will 1 find you? Don’t think I don’t know, you military folks come and go quickly. That day, you showed up before dawn, and if you decide to leave in the middle of the night, what am I supposed to do? You must compensate me today, and I have your identification!” The auntie reached into her pocket and pulled out the identification card that Wang Ye had given her.

“Even a soldier named Wang Ye promised me that I could come find you for compensation!”

“Who?” Fu Wei wasn’t surprised that the auntie had an identification card, but when she mentioned a name, he was taken aback.

Wang Ye?

Which Wang Ye?

“I don’t care who you are! As long as you’re a soldier, whether you admit it or not, you must compensate me today. If you don’t, 1’11 just sit here!” The auntie continued to shout.

This made Fu Wei, who was already feeling a headache, even more anxious.

But he quickly suppressed his frustration and said to the auntie, “Alright, Auntie, give me the identification card, and I’ll inquire about this!”

“No, I can’t give it to you. This is the evidence that your soldiers crushed my sugarcane. You compensate me first, and then I’ll give it to you!” The auntie carefully put away the identification card, following Wang Ye’s advice.

Wang Ye was adept at handling debts. He had even outsmarted company commanders and regiment commanders and managed to turn the tables by exposing their misdeeds.

In this situation, it was highly unlikely that the regiment commander would have a chance to turn the tables.

So, Wang Ye had come up with a plan.

He wanted to attract the regiment commander’s attention and announce his presence at the same time.

He would tell the regiment commander that he, Wang Ye, was the one who had fired the anti-aircraft gun at him.

“Wait here for a moment, Auntie. I’ll go inside and inquire about the situation… Li Jie!”

“Yes!” A soldier nearby walked over.

“Take Auntie to rest for a while and make her a cup of tea.”

“Understood!”

Since it wasn’t a real battle and they were dealing with a fellow villager, Fu Wei couldn’t force them to undergo a thorough inspection at this moment. Instead, he escorted them into the camp.

Of course, he had assigned someone to keep an eye on them, and the resting area was only in the outer tents, not directly in the command post.

This was not a matter of mistrust but rather standard procedure during the exercise.

With this arrangement, the auntie didn’t make any further fuss.

Wen Xiaoman helped her up, and they slowly walked into the camp.

For Wen Xiaoman, being allowed inside was a positive development.

Next, she would have to adapt to the situation as it unfolded.

“Wang Ye?”

Inside the command post, the senior members of the Iron Bones Hero Regiment were momentarily stunned when they heard that name.

In fact, among them, figures like the regiment commander and the chief of staff were already aware that it was Wang Ye’s Second Company that was their opponent this time. They had even discussed whether Wang Ye would show up this time.

However, up until now, they hadn’t received any news about Wang Ye from their subordinate units.

But now, they had heard it, and the news was quite explosive.

This guy had been silent for a long time, and now, as soon as he surfaced, he used anti-aircraft artillery to bombard their regiment headquarters.

“That rascal!” The chief of staff couldn’t help but curse with a smile.

In the command post, many people were actually hesitant to speak up. They all knew that Wang Ye was the regiment’s precious gem. Although what he had just done had made the faces of the regiment commander and others turn green with anger, they still refrained from passing too much judgment.

After all, he was their precious gem.

“Hehe, interesting! 1 was wondering why Wang Ye had been so quiet if he was coming. It turns out he wanted to give us a surprise!” The regiment commander chuckled.

Knowing that it was Wang Ye who had fired the anti-aircraft gun at them, he didn’t immediately get angry. Wang Ye was a soldier, and now that he was in the Reconnaissance Company of the Division and had accepted the mission assigned by the other side, carrying out the mission was his duty.

Seeing him pull off such a stunt, the regiment commander even felt a sense of satisfaction.

No wonder these were the soldiers he had trained.

They were truly bold.

“Is it Wang Ye driving that Type 86A outside now?” The regiment commander asked again.

Fu Wei nodded and replied, “If it was indeed him who attacked us just now, then yes, it should be him!”

The regiment commander chuckled and said, “This guy! Go, have the First Company Commander send some men to capture Wang Ye, and bring him to me. I want to give him a good kick!”

The regiment commander smiled at the people around him and continued, “This rascal, he’s got some courage. He left our Iron Bones Hero Regiment just a few days ago, and now he dares to use anti-aircraft artillery against us!”

“Yes, sir!” Fu Wei couldn’t help but smile a bit too.

He was imagining the scene when Wang Ye would be apprehended.

However, for now, he couldn’t leave just yet.

Watching the regiment commander speak again, Fu Wei said, “What about the fellow villager, sir?”

“I’ll go!” At this moment, the deputy commander, still wearing a slight smile, spoke up.

The issue with the fellow villager, no matter how small, was still a matter of importance. Moreover, since it was Wang Ye who had crushed the sugarcane, it was only appropriate for him to personally handle the situation.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you then!” The regiment commander nodded in agreement.

At this moment, nobody had yet considered any issues with the fellow villager.

In fact, even after the deputy commander and Fu Wei left, the conversation among the remaining officers still revolved around Wang Ye.

The chief of staff chuckled and said, “Speaking of which, sir, our training assignment is ending in a month, and what are your plans for Wang Ye? Don’t let him go over there and not come back!”

“Nonsense, I will definitely bring him back. I have plans for Wang Ye. This time, I’m just sending him to learn for a while, one or two months should be enough for Wang Ye to adapt to the life of a reconnaissance soldier.”

“What plans?” At this point, one of the deputy regiment commanders asked curiously.

“Hehe, it’s not a big deal, really. 1 plan to have Wang Ye take charge of this year’s new recruits when the time comes and make him a platoon leader!” The regiment commander didn’t beat around the bush and cheerfully revealed his plan.

“That works!” The deputy regiment commander, after some thought, nodded in agreement.

This arrangement seemed reasonable.

However, for Wang Ye, this was quite an extraordinary opportunity.

In fact, some of the other officers in the command post couldn’t help but wonder at this point.

Could it be that Wang Ye was the regiment commander’s own son?

The treatment he was receiving was exceptional.

The regiment commander seemed to be considering every aspect. If Wang Ye couldn’t be well-handled during the training assignment, they arranged for him to go to the division’s reconnaissance company for further learning. Once the training assignment ended, he was immediately assigned to return and lead troops in training.

Leading a platoon of new recruits was certainly within Wang Ye’s capabilities.

Everyone knew that Wang Ye had already completed the preliminary NCO training with the training regiment. If things continued this way, after Wang Ye attended the military academy and graduated, he might indeed have a smooth career path ahead.

His foundation was exceptionally solid.

At this moment, in the regiment headquarters, most of the officers and cadres were still unaware of the fact that Wang Ye had been promoted ahead of schedule. This matter was currently classified and known only to the higher-ups and Wu Jianfeng.

Even the former Second Regiment Commander, who had been killed in action, was not aware of this. Of course, he had seen it before, but at that time, Wang Ye’s words had shocked him, and Wang Ye had left in a hurry without giving him a chance to ask about it.

“Fellow villager, I am the deputy commander of this regiment. Your sugarcane was damaged, and we definitely take responsibility for it. I’ll send someone to assess the losses with you, and we’ll pay you immediately afterward, how does that sound?”

Inside the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, an unsuspecting officer entered a tent.

After introducing himself, he was talking to the auntie with a smiling face. It all happened very suddenly.

The girl who had been standing by the table, drinking from her water cup, suddenly threw the cup toward him. Before he could react, she had him in a chokehold, covering his mouth.

A deputy commander could never be a match for a reconnaissance soldier, even if she was a female reconnaissance soldier. Reconnaissance soldiers were still reconnaissance soldiers.

“Commander, you’ve already been eliminated!

A lipstick tube was drawn across the deputy commander’s neck.

The deputy commander’s eyes widened, and in the next moment, he was released.

He looked at the auntie sitting in front of him and then at the girl beside her.

“You!”

“Commander, you’re already KIA (Killed in Action). I’ll borrow your pistol, okay?”

During the training exercise, the deputy commander also carried a pistol.

He felt helpless at the moment but couldn’t draw his gun.

“Are you from the Division’s Women’s Reconnaissance Unit? You’ve come this time as well?”

The Women’s Reconnaissance Unit had fewer members this time, and their initial combat plan was different from that of the male soldiers. Their primary choice was infiltration and deception. After the first wave, they would quickly withdraw from the battlefield to find an opportunity.

So far, no one from their unit had been eliminated, which naturally led to the Iron Bones Hero Regiment not knowing about the presence of female soldiers on the opposing side.

“Commander, keep your voice down; you’re already considered dead!”

The deputy commander’s voice was already quite low because he knew the rules of the exercise. He was worried that if he actively violated the exercise rules, the exercise department would directly rule that the Iron Bones Hero Regiment had lost.

But even so, Wen Xiaoman wasn’t satisfied with him saying anything.

Taking his gun and ignoring the deputy commander, she just said to the auntie, “Auntie, I’m leaving for now, I’ll come back to see you later!”

“Sure, go ahead, go ahead!”

The auntie waved to Wen Xiaoman, a little uneasy, and didn’t dare to look at the deputy commander. However, she whispered to Wen Xiaoman as she spoke.

“Okay!”

Nodding, Wen Xiaoman walked toward the entrance of the tent.

Outside, there were soldiers on guard duty.

But Wen Xiaoman didn’t immediately step out.

She stood inside the tent and shouted toward the entrance, “Is there any water left? Can someone bring me a cup of water-”

Outside, there were two people at the moment: a soldier from the guard platoon and Fu Wei, who had brought the deputy commander here.

Upon hearing her call, the guard platoon soldier immediately entered the tent under Fu Wei’s signal..
