While Xu Yu and Ye Jian1 were having a discussion, Regimental Commander Liu spoke to Political Commissar Yan in another place: âI donât even know if I should say little lassie Jianâs luck is good or bad. Old Chen brought her for wilderness survival training, and she even encountered a huge operation by the border police.â
âTwo snipers werenât even enough, and they needed three! The operation little lassie Jian bumped into is unusually huge.â
âI think actual combat like this would be helpful for when little lass Jian enters the military. Before she had joined the military, sheâd already piled up numerous military achievements. Her Gaokao is next year, and itâs the most important time in her life. Adding one more military achievement under her belt will be very advantageous for her.â Although Political Commissar Yan had his worries, after analyzing it calmly, he believed this would be a good thing.
Since a soldierâs path had been chosen, they should always be worthy of the military uniform they were wearing on their bodies. After wearing it on, fear and retreat have been left in the past as long as theyâre alive. When they encounter danger, besides being fearless, theyâre still fearless!
Regimental Commander Liu nodded his head; then, he exclaimed: âEighteen years old. Thereâs a lot of new recruits who are eighteen years old, but compared with them, little lass Jian had already walked so much further. Some of these eighteen-year-old recruits, until their retirement, would never achieve little lass Jianâs achievements at present.â
âHahaha, Old Liu, I say, Iâve noticed that the closer Ye Jianâs Gaokao timing looms over, the more you worry about things.â Once again, listening to his old comrade exclaiming, Political Commissar Yan couldnât help but to guffaw, âLittle lass Jianâs Gaokao wonât pose a problem, her mentality is great, and her physical attributes are also great. Even if she got sick on the day of Gaokao, sheâd still be able to toughen it out.â
Thereâs a teasing tone within his words. When the Regimental Commander heard him, he pretended to be fooled, âYou can stop mentioning those same boring and old gossip about me. That year, I fell into the water, and because of falling into the water, I caught a cold. Who are you calling out for having bad mental qualities?â
While he said that, he couldnât help but start chuckling, âLittle lass Jian is truly much stronger than I was. I have high hopes in her; I have high hopes in her. Iâm afraid sheâs already agreed to it by now, actual combat is hard to come by since she encountered the opportunity, itâs actually a good thing for Ye Jian.â
âUsing the sniper rifle in her hands to protect the border police is also a good thing. Picking up a gun, defending the homeland, while also protecting the safety of comrades. Fate cannot be changed; it cannot be changed; I tell you.â
Picking up a gun, defending the homeland, while also protecting the safety of comrades. Ye Jian had understood that on the first day of her four-year training plan and after several actual combat encounters, she had a deeper realization.
Looking at the entire deployment, then knowing the situation from what the scouts had seen, Ye Jianâs expression seemed slightly more solemn, âThey have great firepower, they may have heavy weapons. The advance party should try to find out the villageâs situation, the more we know, the better.â
Since weâre going to raid the enemyâs den, itâs better to know the level of firepower they had.
Captain Liuâs finger pointed at a spot on the tactical map, âThis place is their machine gun station. Before the shootout starts, the advance party should eliminate this place.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Since the moment Ye Jian had agreed, Captain Liu could only feel his heart being emboldened to the brim. Snipers were different compared to the usual soldiers. A sniper was no different than a diamond in the troops; as long as she appeared, high firepower, vantage points, and designated targets would be swept away.
Knowing thereâs a sniper covering them from behind, it was as if the assaulting soldiers had put on another layer of bulletproof vests. Their hearts relaxed a lot.
âWeâre in charge of the upper region, while the Laos police are in charge of the lower region. Weâll sandwich the enemies in the middle from up and down. You are assigned the southern vantage point; after youâre done, you can immediately pack up and continue marching; thereâs no need for you to take a long way around. We have both topographical advantages and numbers. Now, all weâre waiting for is good timing.â
Captain Liu tried his best to accommodate Ye Jian. Since sheâs still in the midst of training and was dragged into their mission by them, how could he not accommodate her, right?
