Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 164 Graduation from the Beginner Village! (Please Subscribe)

The scene before him was too complicated for Wu Zhe to understand.

Seeing the unidentified man standing in front of him approaching again, Wu Zhe could only heave his gun and step back to create some distance.

He dared not fire his gun and kill the man in front of him.

If this man is a hostage who is only approaching for protection, and you accidentally shoot him, the consequences could be very troublesome.

Just as Wu Zhe was completely bewildered by the scene before him and had no idea what to do, he wanted to observe it carefully.

Instructor Jackie Chan didn't give him that chance.

"Wu Zhe, you have 5 seconds left to take action. If you exceed the time limit, you will be given a score of zero."

Jackie Chan's urging was like a death warrant, making Wu Zhe's situation even worse, and he was so anxious that he started sweating.

Wu Zhe wanted to observe before making a judgment, but Jackie Chan wouldn't give him time to observe.

This made Wu Zhe extremely anxious.

I can no longer maintain a calm mind!

"The person sitting there is definitely a hostage; his hands are tied. The one with the gun is definitely a thug. The person approaching is unidentified but unarmed, so the danger level is low; we can take preliminary control of him."

Wu Zhe couldn't see the three men's expressions, so he could only judge who the thugs were by their behavior and actions.

5 seconds.

It is also impossible to do a deeper analysis.

In order to avoid getting a zero score, Wu Zhe, who had only given a brief analysis, could only rely on his own judgment.

"Clap clap~ clap!"

After shooting and killing the armed assailant, Wu Zhe immediately rushed towards the man who was nearby.

The S·T course does not test close combat skills, so Wu Zhe rushed over and used grappling techniques to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The man who approached did not resist and allowed Wu Zhe to control him and pin him to the ground.

It took exactly 10 seconds from when the mask was removed from Wu Zhe's head to get to this point.

"stop!"

Jackie Chan called a halt at the last minute, and only after Wu Zhe released the restrained man and stood up from the ground did he ask, "Tell me, why did you make that judgment? Why did you assume the person with the gun was a thug?"

"Reporting, Instructor, sit on the sofa..."

Wu Zhe then reiterated the deductions he had made before taking action, expressing his confidence that there shouldn't be any problems.

pity.

Wu Zhe's thinking is too simplistic!

If the S·T course were really that simple and easy to handle, it wouldn't be the grand finale, requiring all the basic training to be completed before it could begin.

"Based on your judgment and actions, your final grade is unsatisfactory. Get out," Jackie Chan said.

Why?

Wu Zhe couldn't accept this result and looked up at Jackie Chan, wanting an explanation.

Jackie Chan didn't offer any explanation at first, but instead snapped his fingers at the sparring partners in the arena, and that's when Wu Zhe was taken aback.

The man, whom Wu Zhe considered a hostage, was sitting on the sofa with his hands behind his back. He then took his hands out from behind his back.

He was holding a pistol in his hand!

"this……"

Wu Zhe felt his head was spinning, his mind a jumbled mess, like a charlatan trying to sort out his thoughts, but he just couldn't make sense of them.

He could only say angrily, "You're cheating! There are no hostages here. You're deliberately making things difficult for me."

"Yeah?"

Jackie Chan sneered and said, "As a special forces soldier, one must possess keen observation skills, a fast and agile reaction speed, and extremely high combat intelligence."

This scene looks very chaotic, but I actually provided enough information to help you distinguish between different scenarios.

If you find just one piece of information that meets your actual action requirements, you can get a passing grade, or even an excellent grade.

In a testing facility with such rudimentary conditions, two seconds of observation is usually sufficient.

I gave you a full 10 seconds, but you couldn't find a single piece of information, relying entirely on your own subjective opinions.

In special operations, one must proceed from the actual objective situation, not from one's subjective perceptions or assumptions.

Jackie Chan spoke in a very stern tone, using high pressure to teach the trainees a lesson.

Understand what it means to...

What you see with your eyes is not necessarily the truth.

"Information points? Are there any? I didn't see any. I only saw that all three of them were wearing hoods and plain clothes. I couldn't tell anything from them. I think the one with the gun is the criminal. There's no problem with that," Wu Zhe argued.

"Look at the man's feet with the gun," Jackie Chan said, mentioning only one point.

Wu Zhe didn't notice it at first glance, but after taking a closer look and then at the other two sparring partners, he suddenly realized it.

I understand what Jackie Chan meant.

It turned out that the armed "criminal" was wearing military boots, and they were even the custom-made model that Old A couldn't buy anywhere else, while the other two were wearing ordinary shoes.

If only Wu Zhe had noticed that at the time.

What appears to be a chaotic scene can become very clear in an instant.

If the man wearing military boots is a clue, then the man with the gun is a comrade who infiltrated in civilian clothes and is trying to use the gun to control the suspected gunman whose hands are not visible.

The hostages needed to find safety after being rescued, which is why they moved closer to soldier Wu Zhe.

Wu Zhe obtained no information, but based solely on his subjective judgment, he concluded that the person with the gun was a criminal, and as a result, he killed his plainclothes comrade.

Furthermore, in the next move, they subdued the hostage and placed him on the ground.

Unfortunately, the criminals were overlooked.

If this were a real battlefield, and the criminals were focused on dealing with the hostages while Wu Zhe had helped them resolve a major problem, the criminals, now completely free, would pull out a gun from behind them, killing both Wu Zhe and the hostages.

Jackie Chan's words solved the mystery, and the scene suddenly became clear.

Wu Zhe knew he had made a huge mistake, and with his head down in shame, he left through the back door.

Watching Wu Zhe leave through the back door, Jackie Chan shook his head with a hint of regret, then suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with amusement.

He then loudly ordered, "Next!"

In fact, each scenario in the S·T course has multiple answers. For example, the scenario in front of us has three ways to solve it.

This is the advantage of the S·T curriculum!

Any one of the three could be a criminal, or any one of them could be an undercover teammate.

Wu Zhe's approach, based on his logic, is actually one of the three ways to solve the problem.

As long as Wu Zhe can find the right information and cooperate with the action, he can also get full marks.

The key is that Wu Zhe's actions were not based on information points hidden in the scene.

As long as you act based on the information points, you can at least get a passing score.

pity.

Wu Zhe relied too much on his subjective judgment and missed capturing the details in the scene, resulting in the failure to find any information points and being judged as unqualified.

Aside from not finding the key information point, Wu Zhe did everything else perfectly.

That's why Jackie Chan has regrets!

The training aims to help trainees focus on battlefield details, learn to fight with their minds, develop rapid observation skills, and fight with intelligence, rather than being mere war machines.

This is the main purpose of the S·T course!

If someone like Wu Zhe learns from a mistake he made, he will grow stronger the next time he participates in training.

It is important to pay attention to the details of the battlefield.

After he went through a lot of S·T courses and successfully passed dozens of different scenarios, he officially completed the course.

Then, when he goes to the real battlefield, he will be able to quickly handle all kinds of complex scenarios.

The ultimate goal of the training has thus been achieved.

Wu Zhe was the first to participate in the S·T course, but unfortunately he ended up with a failing grade, and he was not the last student to fail.

Because after the first day of the S·T course, not a single student achieved an excellent grade.

This result was entirely within Jackie Chan's expectations.

First-time S·T course participants often fail and have to leave due to nervousness, unfamiliarity, excessive self-consciousness, carelessness, or not knowing what to do.

Only a very few lucky or gifted students can barely achieve a passing grade.

That's why Jackie Chan wasn't angry at all.

There were still more than half a month left, enough time for him to train the members of the Ace of Spades team using various methods and through various carefully designed scenarios.

They should all possess keen insight and lightning-fast battlefield thinking.

With the grand finale, the S·T course, taking center stage, the pilot reform training is also drawing to a close, with the training content remaining largely unchanged.

All tactical coordinated CQB exercises were conducted in the morning to further improve and solidify the combat synergy of the Spade A squad.

The afternoon session was divided into two phases.

First, spend an hour practicing two Hellfire tactics.

Then the teams were taken to the Killing House for live-fire paintball practice, with each of the three groups taking a turn, or sometimes it was a competition between the groups themselves.

With only one hour left in training, the S·T course was used to wrap things up.

Only one new tactic was added during this period—

PEEL tactics!

The stripping tactic is similar to the Hellfire tactic, except it is applied in the opposite situation.

The Hellfire tactic involves using extremely fierce, continuous, fully automatic firepower to suppress the enemy, preventing them from retaliating and thus allowing the attacker to get closer.

This is an offensive tactic!

The disengagement tactic involves using extremely fierce, continuous, fully automatic firepower to suppress the enemy, preventing them from surfacing and firing, thus allowing them to retreat safely.

This is a defensive tactic!

The two tactics are executed in a similar way, and the team positioning is also similar. The only difference is between attacking and retreating, so they are much easier to learn.

Using the Hellfire tactic in reverse is like watching a movie in reverse.

Make a few minor adjustments in the middle, and choose from left and right scrolling, diagonal scrolling, forward and backward scrolling, or inward and outward loop scrolling according to the needs of the battlefield.

That's the perfect retreat tactic—

PEEL tactics.

Although Jackie Chan didn't want to see his men use the PEEL tactic on the battlefield.

Because if the stripping tactic is to be used, it means that the battlefield situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and we are at a disadvantage, so it is impossible to complete.

But there is no invincible general in the world.

Even if Jackie Chan doesn't want to see it, the Ace of Spades team will still face the situation of having to retreat. They should learn to let go and not panic.

Therefore, Jackie Chan also had strict requirements for learning the stripping tactics.

Change the two daily afternoon Hellfire tactical drills to one Hellfire drill to push forward, and then use the peeling tactic to retreat from the front.

It's a perfect cycle of advancing and retreating.

In addition, the various tactics taught before also need to be reinforced and practiced in spare time, making the daily training sessions more intensive.

The Ace of Spades team spent the last 20-plus days of intensive training.

On the afternoon of the last day of the third month of training, Jackie Chan received a call from Captain Railway, asking him to go to his office.
