Chapter 333: An Intense Competition!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Come on, Wang Ye, keep it up-”

“Wang Ye, charge!”

As the signal gun sounded, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Some even got so excited that they shouted out Wang Ye’s nickname, which was secretly laughed at by other regiments in the past but was now being proudly cheered on.

Of course, no one was laughing now; everyone was busy cheering on.

Naturally, the neighboring two regiments were not just bystanders; they were also cheering for their own teams. Even though they knew that their teams couldn’t possibly match Wang Ye’s speed in this round, they refused to lose in terms of morale and spirit.

“Go, Third Regiment, go-”

“First Regiment, catch up to Wang Ye, climb faster!”

The atmosphere outside the field was electric, but inside, under the barbed wire, Wang Ye and his two teammates were unaffected.

Their movements were swift, especially Wang Ye’s. He crawled out from under the barbed wire at a speed that rivaled individual athletics. His two companions were still a few meters behind inside.

Of course, Wang Ye didn’t pay them any mind at this moment.

Once he was out, he quickly turned and ran back along the side of the barbed wire.

This was a tactical relay race. After passing under the barbed wire, they had to run back to complete the handoff.

Otherwise, how could it be called a team sport, and how could it be called a relay?

“Faster!”

Wang Changdong was already in a prone position, left hand raised, and his gaze fixed on Wang Ye.

When Wang Ye reached him,

Clap! Their palms met, and in the next moment, Wang Changdong dived straight under the barbed wire.

By the time he had gone three or four meters inside, the teams from the First and Third Regiments had just arrived.

Their difference wasn’t significant.

But now, Wang Ye had no time to watch their competition.

His first round had come to an end here.

Now he ran again, heading towards the high wall about ten meters ahead of the barbed wire.

“Get ready to climb the high wall!”

“Come on- Keep it up!”

With cheers coming from behind and from both sides, Wang Ye reached the base of the high wall. He immediately bent over and placed his hands on the wall slightly to the left of the center to support himself.

After completing this action, Wang Ye turned his head to look back.

Right on time, Wang Ye saw Wang Changdong crawling out.

Thanks to the advantage Wang Ye had established, he naturally was the first one out.

One by one, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Fourth Regiment gave it their all.

Moreover, their physical fitness was actually quite good.

This had been evident when they competed in individual tactics.

Though they didn’t win the banner, their performance and physical fitness were definitely among the top tier in the entire regiment.

Soon, it was down to the last one.

By this point, the gap between the Iron Blood Fourth Regiment and the other two regiments had widened even further.

Not every regiment’s Fourth Regiment was a top-notch regiment.

It was normal for them to have inferior physical fitness compared to the Iron Blood Fourth Regiment.

At this moment, the Fourth Regiment of the Third Regiment was almost half the length of the barbed wire behind, and the First Regiment was in an even worse situation. They were slower than the Third Regiment; on one side, Du Yitong was already coming out, while the last member of the First Regiment had just entered the barbed wire and covered only a few meters.

“Hurry up-”

“Get ready, everyone!”

Wang Ye and the others who had come out first had already set up a human ladder at the base of the wall.

The rules of the competition stipulated that in the first stage, the last member to climb the tactical wall had to be the first one up. So, as soon as Du Yitong emerged, he ran towards this side while slinging his rifle onto his back.

In fact, at this moment, there were already two people on the side of the human ladder who had prepared in advance.

He still had one hand grenade left.

“Hehe, not bad, three grenades and it’s done!”

Wang Ye didn’t bother with the issue of sandbags or no sandbags; he had taken care of it, so why bother with such nonsense?

“Ah, fuck, the second one bounced out; otherwise, I’d have two as well.”

As this third platoon comrade was speaking, Wang Ye continued to turn his head and look towards the hand grenade-throwing area.

“Good-”

“Keep it up!”

At this moment, cheers erupted from the crowd again.

The fourth member of the Iron Blood Fourth Regiment began.

Just then, the other Third and First Regiments, with less than a second difference between them, hurriedly started throwing hand grenades one after another.

“The Fourth Regiment is so fast!”

“They have all four now.”

Outside the arena, the first company of the Iron Bone Heroes Battalion, consisting of artillery and heavy machine gun platoons who had already finished their events, gathered together.

At this moment, both platoons were nervously watching Wang Ye and his team.

They hoped that the Iron Blood Fourth Regiment would win, but they didn’t want Wang Ye and his team to win too quickly.

The best outcome would be for them to win first place in a single event with a slightly better score than their own.

In terms of regimental pride, Wang Ye and his team had already shone, but within the regiment, they would lose to themselves. Tomorrow afternoon when they returned, the two platoons would ride back in vehicles, while Wang Ye and his team would have to march.

However, the current pace seemed a bit off.

The first three members of the Fourth Regiment, including Wang Ye, had completed their throws with just two grenades each. The second soldier used three, but the third also used only two. However, they breathed a sigh of relief when the fourth soldier threw four grenades to hit only two.

The fifth, the sixth…

They had been watching nervously all the while, and Wang Ye was also feeling tense at this moment.

The Regimental Five-Event Competition had too much variability in this event. If they threw more than four grenades and had to retrieve them, it would cost them at least ten seconds, including the time to pick up the grenades.

Currently, the Iron Blood Fourth Regiment had an advantage of around ten seconds.

It could be said that as long as one of them had to retrieve a grenade, their current advantage on the field might be erased, and they could be caught up to.

In this situation, Wang Ye and his team couldn’t afford not to be nervous.

But at this moment, their nervousness couldn’t help either; they could only watch.

Fortunately, everyone was quite efficient. Although two comrades behind them each threw four grenades to hit only one, at least no one had to go retrieve a grenade.

Among the eight members of the regiment, two had thrown two grenades each, three had thrown three grenades, and three had thrown four grenades in total.

They had thrown a total of twenty-five grenades, and their performance was worse than the artillery and heavy machine gun platoons in previous events.

However, at this moment, no one was in the mood to dwell on this matter.

“Hurry, hurry!” Wang Ye shouted to Wang Changdong.

He was the last one from the Fourth Regiment to throw.

And right now, he wasn’t running either.

Transporting wounded soldiers, four people in a group, but the Fourth Regiment’s arrangement was to have the first person from the second to fifth to come over carry a stretcher first.

Wang Ye, as the first one to arrive, and the three behind him, were all participants selected by Wu Jianfeng with the best physical fitness.

In this stage, it was only considered completed when the second wounded soldier was brought back.

The first four people, even if they ran faster, it wouldn’t make a difference because in the next stage, the fifth stage, they would need all eight to run together.

“Let’s go!”

As Wang Changdong ran over to grab the stretcher, Wang Ye shouted, and instantly, all four of them lifted the stretcher and started sprinting forward.

A hundred meters back and forth.

That was the content of this stage.

Of course, the most important rule in this stage was that the wounded soldier must not fall.

If any of the wounded soldiers fell, the entire regiment, no matter how good their previous results were, would be directly eliminated from the competition.

Their previous scores would be invalidated.

As Wu Jianfeng had said during their training:

“Even though you’re carrying sandbags now, you should see them as injured comrades. In a real battlefield, if you drop a comrade from the stretcher, they might have had a chance to survive, but you’ve just cost them their life.. In that situation, what good is your competition score?”
