“Quick, quick… In a row, take down Iron Bones and the third regiment!”
“Iron Bone in a row, they went for it! Take them down.”
“Third regiment…”
Teampetition was much more lively than individualpetition.
In individualpetitions, small teamspeted separately.
During the matches, there were limited personnel on the sidelines, and many werepeting together within the same regiment, so they mostly received encouragement from their own team members.
But then, it was different.
All the participants from the entire division were there to watch, and even the divisionmander and their staff didn’t watch the live broadcast from inside the tents.
They all stood on a tform erected by the side of the arena.
As a unit, the three regimentspeted simultaneously. As soon as thepetition began, the atmosphere reached its peak.
Wang Ye was in the crowd, and he had no doubt that if there were no officers, divisionmanders, and even the armymander watching, the three regiments cheering for their teams might have started fighting each other.
At that moment, in that atmosphere, the teams from the three regiments were rapidly progressing through thepetition.
They had already passed the second stage.
On thepetition field, the results of the three toons were closely matched. They had juste down from the high wall and were starting to throw grenades at the three-meter circr targets.
“Don’t shout anymore, the more you shout, the more nervous they get!”
The chief of staff ordered everyone not to shout encouragement anymore.
Mental state, in the previous individualpetitions, except for the shooting events, was not significantly affected.
But now, it was a teampetition, and the pressure ofpeting alongside other regiments was high, and with their own regiment constantly cheering, their pressure was even greater.
Watching each person throw their grenades.
From a distance of thirty meters, at a three-meter circr target, the members of the Iron Bone Heroic Regiment’s first toon were sweating profusely.
Some performed well, getting two or three grenades in, but now the fifth person on the team had already thrown six grenades.
He had just thrown one in.
They had the fortune of not having a limit on the number of grenades they could throw; there was no elimination for failing to throw a certain number within a few attempts.
But each person only carried four grenades, so after they threw them all, they had to go pick up four more grenades, strap them to their bodies, and run back to throw them again.
“It’s taking too much time.”
By now, in this event, soldiers from all three regiments had gone to retrieve grenades.
One regiment had two soldiers, and both the Iron Bone Heroes Regiment and the Third Regiment had one soldier each.
The tension in the air had silenced the cheers from the crowd, and thepetitors on the field were getting anxious. They couldn’t help but nce at the progress of the other two toons.
Finally, the Third Regiment finished this round first, followed by the Iron Bone Heroic Regiment a few secondster.
The participants quickly rushed out.
“Seven minutes and forty-six seconds.”
“Seven minutes and forty-nine seconds.”
“Seven minutes and fifty-seven seconds.”
The results came out one after another.
At this moment, a huge cheer erupted from the Third Regiment’s side.
Meanwhile, it was quiet on the Iron Bone Regiment and First Regiment’s side.
“Heh heh!”
The Third Regiment’smander was still standing with the othermanders. His smile now mirrored General Hong’s from earlier. Especially when he turned to look at General Hong and the First Regiment’smander, his posture straightened noticeably.
“Hmph, it’s only the first round!” General Hong’s expression wasn’t pleasant at this moment.
The three teams that had justpeted might not end up winning the first ce, and they might not even make it into the top ten.
The first team topete, under the most pressure, had taken quite a bit of time picking up grenades while throwing them.
But, at least for now, that didn’t matter.
What mattered was that the Third Regiment had won the first round.
“That’s right, let’s wait and see. The second round is starting soon, why are you in such a hurry?” The First Regiment’smander grumbled with a stern face. “Prepare for the second group!”
On the field, the referee’s timely announcement marked the beginning of the second round.
Still the First Regiment, Third Regiment, and the Iron Bone Heroic Regiment, all three regiments.
Where Wang Ye was standing now, it wasn’t far from the Second toon’s location.
The regimentmander was absent at the moment, but the chief of staff was there.
Standing in front of the Second toon while they were checking their equipment, the chief of staff spoke with a stern face, “The start wasn’t good. 1 hope you can win this round for our regiment. Do you have the confidence?”
“Yes!”
The Second toon shouted in unison, and the toon leader looked directly at the chief of staff, saying, “Sir, if the Second toon doesn’t seed this time, we’ll ept our fate. If the Second toon can’t win this round, the nine participants from our toon, along with the two of us leading, will make straw shoes and march back on foot!”
The toon leader’s words shocked Wang Ye and the others in line behind him.
That was ruthless.
They were actually willing to make straw shoes and march back on foot. They hadn’t even considered such a bet when they wagered with the Heavy Artillery toon and the Heavy Machine Gun toon.
This was over a hundred kilometers, and if they really had to march back wearing straw shoes, what condition would their feet be in?
Wang Ye didn’t know what condition their feet would be in, but right now, the Second toon all had the look of going all in, and they even shouted together, “We will win!”
None of them were backing down.
At this point, there was no way to back down, and they weren’t in the mood to think about what it would be like to really lose and march back wearing straw shoes.
They only had one belief: to win.
A simr scene also unfolded on the side of the First toon next to them. And because of what the Second toon leader of the Iron Bone Heroic Regiment had said, the First toon leader also followed suit and dered, “If we don’t win, we’ll march back wearing straw shoes.”
Naturally, at this point, even the Second toon leader of the Third Regiment on the side, though taken aback, had to grit his teeth and join in shouting the same slogan.
While they had won the first round, they wanted to keep winning.
Furthermore, within the regiment, it was only the First toon that had won, so it didn’t really concern the Second toon..
