Chapter 1073: Another Old Friend
As Xu Yu discussed with Ye Jian, Commander Liu was speaking with Commissar Yan. “I don’t know if I should say that Jian is lucky or unlucky. Old Chen brought her out for outdoor training but she chanced upon the border guards’ big mission.”
“Two snipers weren’t even enough. They needed three! This isn’t a normal big mission.”
“I feel that this real combat experience might be useful in the future when Jian enters the military. She isn’t part of the military yet but she already has many merits. Next year, she will be having her university entrance examination. It will be an important time for her. Gaining more military exploits will benefit her.”
Since she had decided to choose the military path, she needed to be worthy of the military uniform she was wearing. After she wore it, fear and cowering became a thing of the past. When she met dangers, she would face them fearlessly!
Commander Liu nodded. Then, she sighed. “Eighteen years old. Many of the recruits this year are eighteen years old. Compared to them, Jian is already much further ahead. Some of these eighteen-year-old recruits might not even have Jian’s achievements when they retire.”
“Hahaha, Old Liu, I realize that as Ye Jian’s university entrance examination gets nearer, you are starting to get more worried.” Commissar Yan laughed heartily when he heard this old friend sighing. “Jian won’t have any problems with her university entrance examination. Her mentality is amazing and her physique is great. Even if she falls sick on that day, she will be able to handle it.”
He seemed to be teasing Commander Liu. Commander Liu pretended to be angry. “Stop mentioning these small matters. Back then, I fell into the water and got sick because of that. My mentality isn’t weak.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but smile. “Jian is definitely stronger than my younger self. I have high hopes for her. I’m afraid that she might have already agreed. It’s hard to have real combat experience. This is a good thing for Ye Jian.”
“Using the sniper rifle in her hand to protect the border guards is a good deed too. A gun is used to protect the country and protect your comrades’ life. Fate can’t be changed. It can’t be changed.”
A gun is used to protect the country and protect your comrades’ life. Ye Jian understood this idea on the first day of her Four-Year Plan. After multiple real missions, she had a deeper understanding of it.
She looked at the entire arrangement and understood the information received by the scouts. Ye Jian’s expression turned serious. “Their firepower is strong. They might have heavy weapons. Let’s send a team to understand the situation in the village first. It’s better to find out more.”
They were going to charge into their enemy’s nest soon. It was better to know how many firearms they had.
Leader Liu tapped on the map with his finger. “There’s a machine gun here. Before we start the battle, we will send a team to get rid of this first.”
After Ye Jian agreed, Leader Liu felt more confident. A sniper was different from a normal soldier. A sniper’s hand was like the diamond of the military unit. The moment she appears, she would be able to take care of the powerful firepower, the high sentry spot, and their target.
The soldiers charging in front would feel more at ease when they know that a sniper is protecting them secretly. It was like wearing an additional layer of a bulletproof vest.
“We’ll be in charge of the front. The Laos police will be in charge of the back. We will surround them. You will go to the sentry spot in the South. After you finish, you can continue on your route immediately. There’s no need to take a detour. We have favorable geographical positions and the best people. Now, we just need to find the right time.”
Leader Liu tried his best to be considerate towards Ye Jian. After all, she was in the middle of her training and was pulled into their mission suddenly. He mustn’t make things troublesome for her.
