Outside the hospital operating room, Wang Ye, who had been caught by Director Zheng, was now filled with a strong desire to survive.

There was no other choice.

Director Zheng seemed to have practiced the Eagle Talons Technique.

Even though he was originally a cadre in political work, now the way he was gripping Wang Ye made him feel intense pain.

Running away was no longer an option. In order to survive, Wang Ye could only try to gain favor, hoping to divert the attention of the regimental commander and Director Zheng.

“Hmm! Well done, you haven’t lost the prestige of our Iron Bones Hero Regiment!”

After listening to Wang Ye’s account of his experiences in the training exercises and this support mission, the regimental commander showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.

Director Zheng was still holding onto Wang Ye, but now he was also smiling.

He changed his grip to a pat and slapped Wang Ye’s shoulder twice.

“You did well this time, but let’s call it even for now. Tonight, we’ll go out and find a late-night snack stall, and you’re treating!”

“Of course!” Wang Ye nodded eagerly. If he could get through a late-night snack with them tonight, he wouldn’t say a word.

Of course, he also knew that Director Zheng and the regimental commander were probably not interested in the food right now; they were most likely itching to see the precious captured special forces soldier he had just mentioned.

In fact, at this moment, Jiang Nan on the other side felt as if he had just tasted bitter gall.

He glared at Wang Ye, feeling regretful now.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have brought Wang Ye here no matter what.

Wouldn’t it have been better to stay in the kitchen and have a drink?

Why bother running around? He was just a driver, and now he had brought trouble.

He knew full well that if these two found out about the individual thermal imaging device, they would definitely be salivating and would surely go and report to the division commander.

After all, it was something Wang Ye had captured.

Of course, he also knew that the chief of staff would never give it to them, and even the division commander wouldn’t be willing to give it to them.

But the ownership was with the division headquarters, and if they only said they wanted to take it for research and exploration, the division commander wouldn’t be able to refuse.

In such a situation, if the chief of staff found out about tonight’s events, he would definitely reprimand him.

Very helpless, but he could do nothing about it.

Outside the operating room, it quieted down again for a moment.

Wang Ye had been released by Director Zheng.

But now Wang Ye didn’t move his feet.

There was no need.

At the same time, inside the operating room…

Scissors…

Forceps…

Wipe the sweat…”

There were many people in the operating room today.

The two military doctors no longer had a chance to intervene.

They came in to assist and provide an explanation of the situation.

Currently, on the operating table, two doctors were simultaneously performing surgery.

Two bullets, one in the lung and one in the abdomen.

It can be said that if it weren’t for the confrontation between the special forces and the reconnaissance troops nearby, and the presence of doctors and a helicopter, Yan Zhiming would have become a martyr ioo%.

But now, as the surgery continued, as long as there were no mistakes during the procedure, he would most likely be able to keep his life.

However, that was about it.

Not to mention the gunshot wound to the abdomen, the damage to the lung from the bullet would make it difficult to fully recover to his pre-injury state, and engaging in strenuous physical activity in the future would certainly be impossible.

In other words, Yan Zhiming’s military career was definitely going to be challenging.

Either the unit would provide care and assign him to logistics, or he would have to focus on recovering and be arranged to return to his hometown.

However, no one was thinking about that right now.

Time ticked away.

It was past ten o’clock at night, and the lights in the operating room finally changed color, and the door opened.

“Doctor, how is the situation?”

The regimental commander went up and spoke directly.

Wang Ye didn’t say anything, but he also walked up alongside Director Zheng, following the regimental commander.

“The surgery went relatively smoothly, but the injuries are quite severe this time. We can’t say he’s out of life-threatening danger yet. He needs to be observed in the intensive care unit to prevent postoperative bleeding or inflammation that could worsen his condition!”

“Very well… Thank you, doctor. We’ll follow your arrangement!”

The regimental commander quickly responded.

For soldiers, whether they are injured in the line of duty or not, all medical expenses are fully covered. Someone like Yan Zhiming, who was injured in the line of duty, not to mention staying in the intensive care unit, would have a helicopter arranged immediately to transfer him to a better hospital if necessary.

The group accompanied Yan Zhiming into the ward.

Wang Ye didn’t go in.

Yan Zhiming was still unconscious, and the intensive care unit didn’t allow too many people inside.

But having arrived here and knowing the outcome, Wang Ye’s trip was not in vain.

At least Yan Zhiming’s life was preserved.

“Individual thermal imaging device? The size of a binoculars?”

Outside the hospital, they didn’t really go for late-night snacks.

Instead, after coming out, the regimental commander and Director Zheng called Wang Ye aside.

They asked directly, and upon learning about the thermal imaging device, both of them widened their eyes.

Our military has this kind of equipment too?

They were not unfamiliar with thermal imaging at all.

In fact, this piece of equipment is currently the top concern for all infantry units. Whether it’s armored vehicles or individual soldiers, defense against thermal imaging has become the number one priority in the military. Because although this equipment serves as an auxiliary tool, its impact on the battlefield is significant.

However, our military has never equipped individual thermal imaging devices. Of course, they knew that foreign forces had them. But now, hearing that our military also has them, and that Wang Ye has even captured one, both the regimental commander and Director Zheng felt like cats with their claws itching.

The regimental commander looked at Director Zheng and said, “Old Yang, this can’t be the end of it. Wang Ye is our soldier, and he captured this equipment, we…”

Only one unit!” Director Zheng sighed. He naturally wanted it too, but there was only one unit, and it was currently in the hands of the division commander. Trying to retrieve it would be extremely difficult, or one could say, nearly impossible.

Looking at Wang Ye beside them, he frustratingly raised his hand and aimed to tap Wang Ye on the head.

Of course, Wang Ye’s reflexes were beyond ordinary, and he quickly moved to avoid it.

No hiding, you rascal, give me a tap!” Director Zheng ordered with a stern face.

“Commander, you were speaking so nicely a moment ago, please don’t resort to violence!” Wang Ye said with a wry smile in a hushed tone.

“Phew, you’re so useless!” Director Zheng tapped Wang Ye’s head forcefully and then continued, “You’re really capable when it comes to your own people. You not only killed your platoon leader but also your company commander, and in the end, you even dragged the anti-aircraft gun to fire at us. You got me killed too. I low come you’re so useless this time? It would have been great if you could have captured one more unit!”

After saying this, Director Zheng couldn’t help but tap Wang Ye’s head again in frustration.

Scratching his head, Wang Ye had a bitter taste in his mouth. “Commander, it’s not that I didn’t want to, but there wasn’t enough time. It was only half of the night, and 1 had just finished sleeping during the day. 1 was planning to go out and cause trouble for the special forces again, and then the exercise was suspended!”

Wasn’t this much time enough? The last time you fought us, it was about the same time, right?” The regimental commander chimed in from the side.

Wang Ye was helpless.

He realized that coming here tonight was indeed a wrong decision. He should have waited until tomorrow. When Yan Zhiming woke up, he would definitely demand compensation for the injuries he suffered. Regardless of whether he was injured or not, the next time he came to visit, he would return the taps Director Zheng gave him tonight.

Damn, it was so frustrating.

“Hehe, alright, I’m just teasing you. But next time, if you have the chance, remember to capture a couple more units, okay?” The regimental commander’s face changed, and he smiled as he spoke.

Wang Ye immediately stood up straight and replied seriously, “Yes, sir!”

Well, it’s getting late. You should head back early today!”

Yes!” Wang Ye turned around and ran. He had actually wanted to run the moment he saw them. Now that he could, he didn’t hesitate.

But just as he turned around, Director Zheng spoke up again, “Wait!”

One word, “wait,” brought a bitter taste back to Wang Ye’s heart.

He really wanted to shout at Director Zheng.

“Is this ever going to end? It’s just an exercise, isn’t it? It’s not like it’s real death, and besides, it wasn’t me who threw the punches!”

It was quite frustrating.

“What’s with that expression? You don’t want to stay when I call you, do you? Well, believe it or not, I can take you back right now and have you follow me everyday!”

“Hehe!” Wang Ye forced a smile.

“No, I’m absolutely willing to follow the commander’s guidance!”

“Very well, then at the end of this month, return to your regiment!”

“Uh…”

Wang Ye was stunned.

He was being polite for real.

“Hehe, scared, aren’t you?” The regimental commander laughed on the side.

Wang Ye spoke with determination, “I’m not afraid. I’m originally from the Iron Bones Hero Regiment, a soldier from the Iron Blood Fourth Battalion. Going back is what I’ve been hoping for!”

There was more to Wang Ye’s words.

When Director Zheng mentioned having him stay by his side, he definitely didn’t want that. Going back to the Fourth Battalion was what he truly desired.

You, kid!” The regimental commander pointed at Wang Ye with a smile.

Then, he became more serious and said, “1 wasn’t joking with you. Originally, 1 was planning to transfer you back at the end of the month. Since Director Zheng called you, I’ll tell you in advance.”

Seeing Wang Ye’s puzzled expression, the regimental commander smiled and continued, “We’re planning to have you come back this year to train new recruits and gain some leadership experience!”

Wang Ye was stunned.

“What? Don’t want to?” The regimental commander asked with a smile.

“No, of course not. Thank you, Commander. Thank you, Director Zheng!” Wang Ye hurriedly responded.

His gratitude this time was genuine.

Of course, he wasn’t a child, and certainly not a naive teenager. Having experience in leadership was a significant advantage for an officer. Early leadership experience was both a qualification and an asset in our military’s pursuit of a younger officer corps.

Director Zheng then spoke with a serious expression, “You, kid, don’t get too cocky. Leading soldiers isn’t as easy as it sounds. Even if you’re just a squad leader, the responsibility is significant. If you mess up even once, it could affect your future as an officer. This is no joke, do you understand?”

“Yes, I promise to fulfill my duties!” Wang Ye stood at attention and saluted.

As a squad leader, he had confidence, as they were just a group of new recruits.

Well… although in terms of military service, he was still considered a new recruit.

But next month, the new recruits would join, and then he would be a true veteran.

“All right, get lost. There’s nothing else. Make good use of the time left this month to learn something!”

“Yes, sir!”

Saluting again, Wang Ye turned around.

Not far away, Jiang Nan was still waiting there.

Although he was the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, if the two colonels didn’t allow him to come over, there was nothing he could do.

Seeing him now, Wang Ye wasn’t particularly anxious.

Even though he had just mentioned Jiang Nan’s embarrassing incident directly.

But he was the one who sold me out first.

“Is it over?”

Seeing Wang Ye approaching, Jiang Nan frowned and spoke.

“Hehe, it’s over!” Wang Ye smiled and said, “Captain, don’t blame me. You know I can’t meet them right now. You took the initiative to sell me out, so I had to take the initiative to seek recognition to save my skin!”

Jiang Nan glared at Wang Ye without a good mood. “Get in the car!”

“Sure thing!”

Wang Ye grinned.

Of course, it didn’t take long, just over half an hour, and Wang Ye’s smile faded.

In a town at least twelve or thirteen kilometers away from the division headquarters, he asked Wang Ye to get out of the car to buy some barbecue as a side dish for their drinks.

Then, after Wang Ye got out of the car, he stepped on the gas and drove away directly.

Leaving behind a stunned Wang Ye chasing after the car, he leaned out and shouted one last thing.

“You have one hour to bring back the barbecue, or you’ll be in trouble!”
