^Crackling noises

It is the second day of Wang Ye’s martial arts competition at the division headquarters, in his hometown.

Early in the morning in the Wang Family Village, a village named after the family name. The firecrackers in front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village were crackling non-stop.

Revision.

Wang Ye had achieved second-class merit.

His personal deeds were directly recorded in the county annals. If such a person and deeds appeared in the family, they would definitely have to revise this achievement into the ancestry.

Therefore, after the elders of the family looked at the date, they chose today to revise the ancestry in the ancestral hall.

Of course, this time, it was not a big deal. Compared to the time when Old Wang gave the signboard to the county, he was really very low-key today.

They only set off some fireworks in front of the ancestral hall, then entered the ancestral hall to burn incense to the great ancestor. After that, they added Wang Ye’s name to the genealogy, and the meritorious deeds ended.

He didn’t have the privilege of opening a single page of the family tree.

Even so, Old Wang was still grinning from ear to ear.

After his son’s name and deeds were recorded in the county annals, he was even burning incense to his ancestors and revising the ancestry. This could be considered as truly bringing honour to his ancestors.

“Hey, soldier, congratulations. Our Wang family has really produced a character in your father-son line.

You’ve become a big boss, and your son is now doing great in the army. That’s great!”

Outside the ancestral hall, an old man held soldier Wang’s hand and said with a smile.

There was more than one of them. There were other old men beside him who also smiled and said,”That’s right. Soldier, your line of people can be considered to have brought glory to our ancestors. In the past hundred years, no one from our Wang family has been able to enter the county register!”

“Fifth Granduncle, isn’t your family pretty good too?” Old Wang replied cheerfully. Your child was admitted into such a good university!”

Old Wang was in a really good mood. Although he had spent quite a lot of money recently, he had set up more than ten tables for breakfast in the ancestral hall. He invited the old and young people of the village to eat.

Old Wang had to pay for all this.

But Old Wang was happy!

This was a moment Old Wang would not even dream about. While he was still excited and proud of the second-class merit that Wang Ye had obtained from fighting the flood, his son, who he was now proud of, was currently killing it in the martial arts arena. He was even basically certain that he had obtained another second-class merit.

“13.31 seconds!”

It was impossible for Wang Ye to know about the situation at home.

On the shooting range early in the morning, Wang Ye stood a few meters behind the shooting position of the 100-metre target.

At this moment, the referee at the side reported the results.

That was the timing Wang Ye took to disassembly and assembly of the 95 rifle.

He didn’t break the record. There were many elite veterans that had been on this stage.

Some of the Armament Officers of various units would train whenever they had nothing to do.

With practise, the results might not be as good as others even if they cheated.

For example, Wang Ye was one of them now.

Under light conditions, he had achieved a result of 13.31 seconds. He was definitely able to look down on the masses.

Even if some of the participating companies had brought out their armourers for the competition today, this result might not be the first, but at least the top three.

In fact, so far, Wang Ye had already beaten the best result in this event that was broadcasted yesterday night.

However, it was still not enough to break the record.

“Prepare to fire!” The referee gave the order, and at the same time, someone brought over ten bullets in a tray.

The competition on this side of the arena had two consecutive events.

After breaking it down and assembling it, he directly used the gun that he had disassembled and assembled to shoot.

Ten bullets per person.

Five single-point shots and five burst shots. The burst shots required two and three continuous at a time.

‘Too points!”

Wang Ye’s results were soon out.

No one cried out in surprise. The people who came to the competition today were all elites, although it was still rare to hit a hundred points.

However, it was only two short shots and five single shots. The entire division had more than ten thousand people and gathered more than a thousand elites from each company. The number of people who could hit ten points weren’t exactly small.

At least, there were seventeen people who were tied for first place with full marks yesterday.

It was estimated that after today’s exam, there would definitely be more than

30 students in the entire teacher who scored full marks for this round.

The main reason was that they were all from the border defence field troops, unlike the inland garrison troops, which did not use much live ammunition.

It was not an exaggeration to say that in Wang Ye’s division, the logistics company could only fire a few magazines after two years of service.

Under such circumstances, in this martial arts competition, it would not be surprising if one got a full circle. It would be surprising if one’s bullet missed the target.

If a company of elites were to miss the target with a single shot, it would be a laughing stock. If they were to miss the target with a short shot, they would be pointed at by others.

“A car is coming. Who is it?”

When he transferred to the grenade throwing arena, the six soldiers of the cannon company in front had just finished. Now that the first soldier of the heavy machine gun company had just gone up, a voice suddenly came from Wang Ye’s side.

Immediately, Wang Ye turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.

A few seconds later, Wang Ye’s pupils constricted slightly.

He saw the car stop a few dozen meters away. The door opened, and a man with a gold star on his shoulder got out.

Yes, it wasn’t unusual for him to carry a star on his shoulder, but there wasn’t a bar under the star on this man’s shoulder.

He had ears of wheat on his head.

General, since Wang Ye had joined the army for so long, this was the first time he had seen a general.

And what was even more sudden was…

In the next moment, a captain who had gotten out of the car ran towards Wang Ye and the others.

The third stage in front of Wang Ye and the others hurriedly went up and saluted.

In fact, not to mention him, even the soldier from the heavy machine gun company stopped throwing grenades.

Although the referee did not leave his post, he stood at attention like a soldier.

“Wang… Brother Wang, are they here for you?”

“Damn, Brother Wang, Wang Ye, Wang Boss, you’re too amazing!”

The soft mutterings of his comrades came from both sides of Wang Ye.

The general came personally, who would have the face to do so?

They couldn’t think of anyone else the general could look for other than Wang Ye.

In fact, after the captain and the third-grade officer saluted each other, they immediately said,””Wang Ye is with you, right? The Bureau Chief wants to see him!”

“Yes, sir!” The third-grade officer nodded. He looked at the formation and shouted, “Wang Ye!”

“Here!”

Wang Ye tensed up and replied loudly.

The general was really here for him.

At this moment, Wang Ye could not help but feel a little excited.

After stepping out, Wang Ye came in front of the two of them.

The captain looked at Wang Ye and said with a smile,”My name is Xu Yi Han, the chief’s secretary.”

“Wang Ye, the Bureau Chief specially came to see you.

He didn’t even go to meet the division commander and directly drove the car here!”

After the captain introduced himself to Wang Ye with a smile, he added,

Wang Ye was slightly stunned, but he didn’t say anything because he didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, the captain smiled and said,””Come, follow me to see the Bureau Chief!”

“Yes, sir!

Wang Ye responded and followed him.

At this moment, Wang Ye really wanted to ask which bureau chief this was.

However, it was not a good time to ask.

Following his footsteps, under the gazes of the others behind him, Wang Ye came to the general standing beside the car.

“Bureau Chief, Wang Ye is here!”

“Hello, Chief!”

Wang Ye saluted the general.

“Yes, you’re welcome!” The Bureau Chief was very kind with a smile on his face.

After sizing up Wang Ye, he said with a gentle smile,”The young man is even more handsome than in the photo!”

“Hehe, thank you for your praise, Bureau Chief!” Wang Ye pretended to be modest and replied with a silly smile.

The Bureau Chief’s smile didn’t fade, but he didn’t continue talking to Wang Ye.

He looked at the arena at the side.”Go, let them continue to fight. Don’t worry about me!”

He was talking to the secretary beside him.

Immediately, the captain received the order and went over again.

At this moment, the Bureau Chief looked at Wang Ye again and said,”You haven’t competed in this event yet, right?”

“Reporting to the chief, no!”

“I heard that your performance in this event is also very good. How is it? Are you confident of breaking the record for this event?”

Wang Ye was immediately speechless.

Grenade throwing, the furthest distance the entire army could reach in this event was 92 metres.

The record for the entire division was 85 metres.

However, when Wang Ye was training, the furthest he could go was only 78 metres.

There was still quite a bit of difference.

“Hehe, how far can you throw now?”The Bureau Chief saw Wang Ye’s embarrassment and asked with a smile.

“Chief, when 1 was training in the company, the furthest I could go was 78 metres!”

Grenade throwing was divided into two positions.

Standing posture and run-up could be used in martial arts competitions now. Therefore, Wang Ye’s results had increased by ten meters compared to when he was in the teaching team.

However, so far, Wang Ye had still not been able to break through to 80, let alone break the record.

The Bureau Chief smiled and said,” Very good. I’ve seen your other results. You can be called an all-rounded soldier.”

He’s very outstanding. He can even be said to be the most outstanding soldier in our army!”

“You think too highly of me, Bureau Chief. Our army is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. How could I dare to be the most outstanding?!”

“Haha, no matter how many crouching tigers and hidden dragons there are, 1 haven’t seen anyone break the military record.”The Bureau Chief laughed.

After saying this, he turned his head and looked in the direction he came from.

Wang Ye also looked over.

At this moment, Wang Ye saw a group of people running over.

Division Commander, Regiment Commander…

They were ail here.

The commander did not inform them beforehand.

He drove straight to the arena and was discovered by the sentries. Only then did he let the division commander and the others know.

Of course, when he came in, the commander had also contacted the commander and asked where the arena Wang Ye was at was. Then, he directly got the car to drive over.

This made the division commander and the others a beat slower. They only ran over when Wang Ye and the division commander were chatting.

“You can go back to the competition first!” The Bureau Chief said to Wang Ye.

“Yes, Sir!”

Although Wang Ye was curious about who the person in front of him was.

Was it the commander or someone else?

What would the division commanders and regimental commanders say?

However, since the general had asked him to participate in the martial arts competition, he could not continue to stay here.

After saluting, he turned around and left.

However, Wang Ye, who had just returned to the formation, still heard the voice of the division commander behind him.

“Welcome to Division A, Commander.”

He was really a commander.

When Wang Ye returned to the queue, he turned around and looked over again.

“Damn, this is our commander. Wang Ye, you’re too awesome. The commander came to look for you personally!”

A soft voice came from the side.

At this moment, the soldiers of the heavy machine gun company in front were still throwing grenades.

But at this moment, almost no one in the queue looked at him.

Their ears pricked up, and their eyes sneaked towards the commander.

Of course, everyone’s standing posture did not change at this moment.. In fact, they stood even more upright…
