"Wang Yan, the Type 85 has night vision; find a place yourself and provide us with support."

Through the previous two battles, Shi Jin had also recognized Wang Yan's correct usage, which was to let him act alone and become a separate firepower point. For a squad, this effect was the best.

"Yes! Then you guys be careful; the Blue Army must be equipped with a lot of night vision, infrared, and thermal imaging; Squad Leader, I suggest it's best not to fight hard."

Wang Yan responded, then detached from the team and went to the hillside again. The idea remained the same: occupy the high point.

The Type 85 sniper rifle, equipped with a four-power optical sight, adjustable for day and night use. So in such a night battle, there was still plenty of room for play...

After Wang Yan left, the other soldiers also acted rapidly, scattering, and at the same time, a few people started the combat vehicle, using the machine cannon and machine gun firepower on the combat vehicle to intercept the incoming Blue Army.

Very quickly, the jungle was quiet again, waiting for the battle to break out.

This time, the first shot was fired by Wang Yan!

The Blue Army was powerful, so he had to attract more firepower and fight for more space for his comrades.

So after reaching the position and seeing the Blue Army surrounding them, he fired directly to point out names.

The Type 85 sniper rifle had a magazine capacity of ten rounds, but obviously, there were not ten people coming.

Unexpectedly, after firing ten shots rapidly, Wang Yan didn't wait to see the results, but performed various tactical movements to dodge. It was also in the gap of changing positions that he quickly took out bullets, stuffed them into the rifle's ejection port, and fired rapidly after stabilizing his body.

At this time, of course, there was no chance for him to press bullets one by one, let alone the ease of a thousand meters away, so he had to use this method, change places after one shot, use the gap to approach or move away from the Blue Army, control the distance, and maintain high-frequency output.

Tonight the starry sky was brilliant; in the jungle, relying on naked eye observation, one could actually see the silhouettes of people moving in the distance. But too far away wouldn't work either.

Wang Yan and the Third Squad soldiers were more than a hundred meters away from the Blue Army, seeing clusters of silhouettes; wanting to shoot accurately was not easy for either side. Even with night vision, infrared, and thermal imaging, there was also the cover of trees.

And everyone didn't dare to lift their heads randomly, especially the Third Squad side; after all, the Blue Army had many people and many guns, and if they touched the edge, they would smoke, so they all raised their guns to sweep, suppress, and destroy the Blue Army's intentions.

And the Blue Army's intention was also obvious, which was to constantly compress the encirclement and surround the Third Squad into a trapped beast. Even if they couldn't, they had to suppress the Third Squad until they retreated step by step.

But this was obviously extremely difficult to do. After all, Wang Yan was a sharpshooter; his firepower alone was greater than the damage of the Third Squad plus the machine cannon and machine gun.

As long as anyone on the Blue Army side rushed to the front, they would definitely smoke.

The battle was very intense; the Blue Army fought for their lives, and the Third Squad resisted to the death. This lasted for about ten minutes, and the support of both sides arrived.

In the open space outside the foot of the mountain, combat vehicles were galloping, machine cannons were roaring, tanks were moving forward, the fire of the tank barrels was flying, and the sound of guns, cannons, and the shouting and scolding of soldiers intertwined.

The real storm had arrived, fighting until the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

Fortunately, this was an exercise; if it were a real war, this battle would undoubtedly be tragic...

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides fought for this piece of jungle. At the most cruel time, the smoke in the forest even made people unable to open their eyes.

Finally, the sound of guns and artillery gradually stopped, and the Blue Army began to retreat.

Wang Yan fired dozens of shots from afar again, further expanding the results, causing the Blue Army to reduce personnel, and it was only after the Blue Army disappeared that he went down the mountain to find his comrades.

Along the way, passing by the Blue Army soldiers who were cursing and gathering in a pile, he quickly found the organization, but the scene was a bit ugly, all of them were gray-faced and dirt-stained.

Wang Yan shook a flashlight from his pocket and smiled: "Oh, the Company Commander is also eliminated."

Gao Cheng, who was illuminated by the flashlight, had oil paint mixed with dirt on his face, very embarrassed. He waved his hand unhappily: "Get lost, get lost, put the flashlight down! Don't wait for me to clean you up!"

"Forget it, you're already eliminated, who are you cleaning up?" Wang Yan laughed, turned his head and looked, "Oh, the Instructor is also here? Fine, fine, stop talking, observe the exercise discipline; I can't hear what you say."

"Why are you so annoying?" Hong Xingguo couldn't laugh or cry.

Gao Cheng said unhappily: "Just want to kick you."

Wang Yan shrugged his shoulders, ignored them, and turned to find the people in his squad.

At this time, the soldiers of the Third Squad were gathering together to smoke and drink water, seizing the time to rest.

"You're back," Shi Jin greeted.

"Brother Yan, I knew you wouldn't die," Bai Tiejun found a sense of presence on the side.

Wang Yan looked over when he heard the sound, and just a glance knew that this kid had already been eliminated.

"Dead people don't talk so much," Wang Yan teased, and asked Shi Jin, "Are we the only ones left?"

Gathered together were only Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi, and Gan Xiaoning; counting Wang Yan, there were four left, and the squad's combat reduction had exceeded half. There was also the combat vehicle, and the combat vehicle had also been labeled for elimination.

"Isn't this obvious," Wu Liuyi said, "What about the others?"

Earlier, Wu Liuyi and Gan Xiaoning were reconnoitering outside, and after the battle started, they also fought and retreated. Wang Yan did indeed devote part of his energy to support, otherwise, Wu Liuyi would have smoked long ago.

"Isn't this obvious," Wang Yan replied with a smile.

"Grass, you kid..." Wu Liuyi gave Wang Yan a punch with amusement and distributed a cigarette.

"How were they all eliminated?" Wang Yan lit the cigarette and asked.

"Artillery shelling. We are the last hope of the Seventh Company, and we all smoked," Gan Xiaoning said. "We calculated the coordinates to bomb them, and they calculated the coordinates to bomb us; the three of us are lucky. I don't know if we could survive if the real artillery bombed down."

"If it were real artillery, the Company Commander and the others might not necessarily smoke."

Wang Yan turned to ask, "Squad Leader, what's our arrangement next?"

"Reorganize the remaining troops; we will be with the Sixth Company next."

Just after finishing speaking, Wang Yan and the others all started smoking.

Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, his originally tense body relaxed instantly, and he smiled: "Alright, now the hope is gone. It's none of our business."

Wang Yan moved his position to avoid being choked by the smoke, and looked up at the sky.

"Is it fine now, Brother Yan, can you talk?" Bai Tiejun leaned over.

Wang Yan kicked him not lightly or heavily, and asked: "How did it disappear?"

"The Blue Army must be angry, so they plowed this place, and it was useless for us to transfer positions," Gao Cheng walked over with a smile. "Now you know, no matter how high your martial arts are, you're afraid of kitchen knives."

Wang Yan laughed: "If this were real, I might still be able to struggle a bit."

"That might not fall on your forehead."

"Don't say 'might'."

"That's enough of you," Gao Cheng laughed, then turned and shouted, "Seventh Company, everyone, prepare for a night march, hurry up and withdraw from the war zone. Go back and eat a hot meal, and have a good rest."

Immediately, the Seventh Company packed up their things and, together with other participating units, marched urgently overnight to withdraw from the battlefield.

Wang Yan didn't lie; if it were real artillery shells, he could really dodge them. Now he was already a bit mysterious; before the artillery shells came, he would have a whim, have some induction, avoid bad luck, and retreat all over.

But there was no danger, it was all laser signals, and he had no way. If a laser scanned him, he had to smoke and be eliminated. As a soldier with limited activities, his room for play was limited.

Unless the Seventh Company was all wiped out, no one gave him orders, and he didn't obey reorganization, joined other companies, and went out to fight by himself. As he said earlier, he could really end the Blue Army command post. But the result would definitely not be very good; after all, he was unorganized and undisciplined.

During the march, Gao Cheng comforted the soldiers.

"No need to be discouraged, our Seventh Company has already fought with majesty. Do you know how many people were in that battle just now? Just here, there were nearly a thousand people on both sides; didn't you see the rows of combat vehicles and tanks? You thought we were the only ones fighting? This battle, our entire regiment was dispatched, and basically everything that could be used was used once.

These are far away; let's talk about the near ones. Preliminary estimate, our company killed at least two hundred, one for two, which is enough. If a real war breaks out, I believe we can definitely do better.

So, don't be dejected, everyone, cheer up. When we go back, our company will have a feast, eat well and drink well, and rest for another day. How about it?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Seventh Company soldiers responded.

Bai Tiejun asked: "Who is dejected?"

"Can that be dejected?" Gan Xiaoning laughed, "We killed the most, and the merit is the greatest; I'm just a bit sleepy and have no spirit. I think the brothers in other squads are the same; the Company Commander must have misunderstood, being sentimental."

Just like that, everyone said a sentence or two, confused, and marched urgently for several hours all the way back to the station.

At this time, the sky was already breaking, and the dark night was about to brighten.

Everyone got off the vehicle confused, woke up for a moment, went to the cafeteria to eat the prepared breakfast, and then tiredly returned to the barracks, threw their clothes on the ground, and slept under the quilt.

Wang Yan didn't sleep directly; he went to the washroom to wash his clothes first. Seeing this, Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi thought about it and simply stood together to wash clothes.

After all, they had to wash sooner or later; washing first would be comfortable later. It saved them from being unwilling to move when they woke up from sleep.

In the washroom, three big men were washing clothes in three rows.

Wu Liuyi asked: "Did you count? How many did you kill?"

"Where is that energy, forty or fifty must have been there. How about you?"

"Don't mention it, I can't remember; you killed so many, no one can remember. I killed eight, all counted one by one."

"There must be some that were hit; just don't know," Wang Yan said. "Later we have statistics, the equipment is numbered, and we'll know then."

Wang Yan looked at Shi Jin and smiled, "Anyway, with this combat record, Squad Leader will definitely be stable next year."

"Not necessarily, not necessarily," Shi Jin suppressed the corner of his mouth and waved his hand modestly.

Wu Liuyi laughed: "Still pretending, hypocritical!"

"I still say the same thing, there's still a year left, who knows what it will be like? But looking at it now..." Shi Jin nodded with a smile, "Although I can't say it's ten sure, the hope is still very great."

"The lucky star is here, this is the war god, don't you forget."

Shi Jin kicked Wu Liuyi: "Do you still need to say it? Even if there's no such thing, as a Squad Leader, don't I have to do ideological work for him? What's more suitable than a wine table? After the feast ends, I'll treat you to a meal."

He looked at Wang Yan.

Wu Liuyi said: "No business for me?"

"How can there be no you. I treat, you pay."

"All minor matters."

Just like that, the three of them talked and laughed in the washroom, washed their clothes, wiped their bodies simply, and then returned to the squad to sleep.

Wang Yan didn't sleep; he was spirited. When he came back at night, he had a nap on the vehicle; although it wasn't very comfortable, it was enough for him to rest.

So he squinted for a while, and when the snoring in the squad was loud and everyone was asleep, he got up and went out to the library to read quietly.

After sitting for a while, Gao Cheng walked in with a pile of things.

"Why are you here? Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I have plenty of spirit, not sleepy." Wang Yan asked back, "Company Commander, what are you doing?"

"Our company's exercise summary report, it's a lot to write. I thought that there are many books here, and there is an immersive experience, so I can write smoothly."

Gao Cheng sat opposite Wang Yan and asked, "How about it, how many did you kill?"

"Estimated forty or fifty."

"Good fellow, I estimate our company only killed two hundred, and you killed fifty yourself?"

"It's all because of the Squad Leader's good arrangement."

"Get lost," Gao Cheng scolded with a smile. "No need for you to say, I know it's good."

"Wait for the statistics, then we'll know; I'll see if you bragged."

"When have I ever bragged, Company Commander."

"It's what you said that's too scary. If you said twenty or thirty, that's definitely there. Forty or fifty, I can't grasp it either," Gao Cheng laughed and took out a cigarette, lit one for himself, and threw the rest to Wang Yan.

"Go back, squinting for a while is also fine."

"Really not sleepy, now running five kilometers is no problem. Besides, there's nothing to do today; I slept too much during the day, and it's not easy to sleep at night."

"Then I won't grind," Gao Cheng threw the paper and pen, "Just what you said just now, it's basically the same, it's just missing the superior's orders and our company's deployment adjustments. Write down everything you said just now, and I'll copy it later, and fill in the missing parts. The experience and lessons learned must be profound. You are capable and hardworking; I can't hold on anymore, I'll treat you to a meal later."

Wang Yan coughed, looking serious, and said:

"I'll say it, I've never been an officer, and I've never written a report."

Gao Cheng laughed: "Come, come, come, you just spit out a couple of lines."

Wang Yan coughed, appearing a bit more serious, and said: "In '04... at 4:00 AM, my unit assembled urgently, following the regiment's orders..."

Wang Yan recited the content of what he had seen and experienced as a grassroots soldier, and Gao Cheng was stunned...

"You're really not sleepy, right?" He confirmed once more.

"Then you write it." Gao Cheng tossed the pen and paper aside, "Just what you said earlier is basically accurate; it's just missing the orders from superiors and our company's deployment adjustments. You write down everything you just said, and later I'll copy it and fill in the missing parts. The lessons learned must be profound. You're capable, so you do the work; I can't hold on anymore, I'll treat you to a meal later."

After speaking, Gao Cheng stood up and left, his footsteps light...
