Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 190 Ensuring No Target Escapes (Please Subscribe)

Dozens of people, along with a caravan of packhorses, walked in a very long line along the narrow, one-meter-wide path, with a distance of nearly a hundred meters between them.

Not only were the peddlers responsible for protection armed, but even the horse caravans pulling the horses carried rifles.

Aside from a small number of AK47 rifles, the weapons included AKMs, which were remnants of the Soviet era, but the majority were Type 56 automatic and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.

The Chinese military has fully upgraded its equipment to the Type 81 family, and the Type 56 rifles that were replaced have been sold to the Third World, except for those used by the People's Armed Police and Special Police Forces.

And then there are the neighboring countries!

Among them, the "Noodles" generation, which served as a buffer zone, was a local armed force established by the Kuomintang army that fled there and occupied the land. It became the main receiving point for obsolete weapons.

Moreover, most of them were given away without asking for money, mainly as aid that was secretly delivered.

In addition, these countries in Southeast Asia had a demand for Type 56 and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, which they officially purchased from China to arm their own armed forces and armies.

This has resulted in a very large number of Type 56 pistols being in use in countries in Southeast Asia.

Furthermore, because this area is located in the J-triangle region, many Type 56 rifles that were purchased or donated there ended up in the hands of armed groups for various reasons.

Together with the AK series rifles that were popular during the Soviet era, they formed the main firearms of armed groups in Southeast Asia.

Only the White-Eyed Wolf Kingdom fought against Amelika, and Amelika was ultimately defeated and fled in a sorry state, with the Monkey Kingdom seizing a large amount of AR-type equipment.

This has resulted in a very large number of M16s in the country, which is slightly different from other Southeast Asian countries.

The caravan that the Ace of Spades Commando is now facing is armed militants from "Pastry". Their mixed equipment of Type 56 rifles and Soviet-made weapons makes their firepower exceptionally fierce.

When Yuan Lang saw that the target's firepower was comparable to that of an army, his expression became more solemn than ever before.

One group of observers remained to monitor the caravan, while Yuan Lang withdrew from the front and came to Xu Sanduo's side to help guard point E.

Point E is opposite Jackie Chan's location and is considered a secondary, finishing-off position, second only to point G in importance.

Yuan Lang had a keen eye and immediately saw through Xu Sanduo's problem. Even though Xu Sanduo wouldn't admit it, the answer was written all over his face.

Yuan Lang was certain...

Xu Sanduo definitely wouldn't dare to fire a shot!

To prevent any mishaps during the upcoming battle, Yuan Lang, who was a free agent without a fixed position, chose to come and stay with Xu Sanduo.

This way, even if Xu Sanduo makes a mistake, Yuan Lang can fix it in time.

The caravan continued its gambling-style journey into the country, and the excitement of gambling made them extremely nervous. The caravan members were very cautious and traveled very slowly along the way.

And the process slowed down again after entry.

The only sniper observer who had left the group to observe from the front immediately reported the new situation of the caravan: "The target's advance speed has slowed down, and it is 700 meters away from the ambush point. It is expected to enter the ambush zone in 10 minutes. Over."

Five or six minutes have passed since the target was spotted, and it still won't arrive for another 10 minutes.

This made the members of the Ace of Spades Commando, who were already feeling tense, scared, and excited at the thought of killing someone and being blown up by the enemy's mortar, even more tormented.

The time spent waiting for the target to arrive felt like an eternity, with each passing minute feeling like a year, not to mention the several more minutes that would have to wait now.

Both Tuo Yonggang and Wu Liuyi had beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripping from their foreheads.

Even though it was very cool in the primeval forest, and even had a slight chill in the air.

"Damn it, this caravan is really cautious. They're probably guided by a master, not some amateurs."

Jackie Chan had been waiting for his heavy gun for a long time and was getting impatient, but the vendor was moving slowly on the road, which made Jackie Chan equally annoyed.

Through the gaps between the dense trees and bushes, Jackie Chan could vaguely see Xu Sanduo and Yuan Lang lying on the earthen slope about 50 meters away.

"A smiling tiger and a stubborn person together, what an interesting combination," Jackie Chan thought curiously.

Upon receiving the report from the observer, Yuan Lang radioed the order: "Continue to monitor point F. Report any developments immediately. Over."

"F point received, monitoring in progress, over," the observer replied.

"Point E, report complete."

Yuan Lang was calling Xu Sanduo. This time, in order to avoid exhausting himself, he gave up on finishing the call and decided to change Xu Sanduo's code name when he got back.

Xu Sanduo turned his head in surprise to his left, where Yuan Lang was less than a meter away.

"I'm right in your face, and you still need a walkie-talkie?"

Xu Sanduo was completely bewildered and replied in a daze, "Point E is normal, over."

Yuan Lang didn't tilt his head or use the radio; he simply asked, "Nervous?"

Xu Sanduo thought they weren't being asked a question, and it took him a while to realize that there were only the two of them there, and they weren't using a radio.

Then he said in a gentle voice, "Don't be nervous."

"In the past, the casualties in counter-terrorism exercises were all due to your forced self-defense. This time it's an ambush, a proactive attack, and a real battle. Aren't you nervous?" Yuan Lang's words were filled with strong doubt.

"It's not fear."

Xu Sanduo's answer was ingenious.

This answered the question while avoiding an awkward situation.

Xu Sanduo finally showed a rare moment of quick wit, and Yuan Lang, quite surprised, gave him a special look before saying, "Do you remember the injury on my arm?"

"Remember."

Xu Sanduo nodded and said in a low voice, "You explained to us back then that it was a penetrating gunshot wound, caused by an M16. You've participated in actual combat."

"I was just kidding, it was a screwdriver that pricked you." Yuan Lang contradicted his previous statement.

"A screwdriver??" Xu Sanduo asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Look ahead."

Yuan Lang pointed ahead to remind Xu Sanduo, and said without looking to the side, "Back then, I encountered a desperate criminal. I was fully armed, while he only had a screwdriver."

I was so nervous that I forgot I was carrying a gun and all my combat skills. He didn't forget he had a screwdriver with him, nor did he forget he wanted to kill me.

When good encounters evil, it is always good that is hurt first.

So I later told myself, "Yuan Lang, you must be the kindest person despite being the worst, because you can't let your subordinates get hurt."

Yuan Lang specifically told the story of the screwdriver in order to correct Xu Sanduo's "kindness".

In fact, if Jackie Chan were there, he could easily find the loopholes.

Given that Yuan Lang became a lieutenant colonel in the special forces at the age of 30 without any background, he must have been extremely outstanding and his skills must have been highly proficient when he participated in actual combat.

It's impossible for someone fully armed to have their arm pierced through by an ordinary person with a screwdriver.

The real answer is what Yuan Lang said at the beginning: his arm was pierced by an M16 bullet from the enemy, and it was only at close range that the bullet penetrated.

Because of the recent war in China, the only one that ended in 89 was the self-defense counterattack against the monkeys.

Based on Yuan Lang's age of service, it is entirely possible that he participated in one of the battles during the 10-year war when he joined the army.

The reason Yuan Lang specifically mentioned the M16 is because it's a very uncommon gun in Southeast Asia.

Instead of other mainstream firearms such as the AK47, Type 56, and AKM.

Among the countries surrounding China, only the "monkey country" (China) that has fought a war with its own people has a large-scale use of M16 rifles in its military.

With so many coincidences combined, things can no longer be coincidental.

It's highly likely that Yuan Lang participated in the battle against the monkeys, where he displayed great bravery, was wounded but made meritorious contributions, and rose smoothly through the ranks.

His continued outstanding performance in the army led him to become the most valued company commander in the A Battalion.

The reason he overturned his initial statement and claimed that he was only stabbed by a screwdriver by the thugs was simply to persuade Xu Sanduo.

By leveraging his own experience and adding weight, Xu Sanduo was able to abandon the indiscriminate kindness in his heart.

visible.

Yuan Lang has truly put in a lot of effort behind the scenes in leading troops.

As Yuan Lang painstakingly recounted this story, urging Xu San and others to become good people despite their sins, just as he had described.

The caravan had already ventured deep into the territory, less than 300 meters from the ambush site.

"Report: Target confirmed 61 people, 22 pack animals, 2 rocket launchers, mortar status unknown. Over." The observer at point F replied.

"Attention all units, prepare for battle."

"Let them into the ambush zone, but don't fire until all the targets are inside. Use the heavy machine gun as a signal."

"August 1st Tank, you're in charge of closing the breach. The battle will begin the moment your gun fires. Make sure to let all the enemies in; don't let a single one escape. Over."

Yuan Lang decisively issued three orders.

"August 1st Tank received. Repeat the order: make sure all enemies are inside the ambush zone and that no target can escape. Over." Jackie Chan replied over the radio.

Other groups also changed their positions, switching from concealed observation to ambush points, loading their bullets and getting ready.

At this point, the caravan was less than 200 meters away, and all the assault team members could clearly see the caravan slowly approaching through the 3x white light scope.

Although it was getting dark, it did not affect the team members' ability to lock onto their targets.

The caravan, moving slowly along the narrow forest path, was unaware that more than a dozen guns were already locked onto them.

The team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and strict discipline in every aspect.

The group of over 60 people was already quite large, but not a single person spoke while moving; everyone maintained a high degree of silence.

Aside from the clatter of donkey hooves on the road, the clanging of goods as they moved, and the sneezing of packhorses.

There was no sound at all!

The dozen or so armed members of the caravan leading the group held their guns tightly to their chests, their eyes constantly scanning both sides of the road with vigilance.

They react immediately to any unusual movement on the roadside.

Seeing the caravan's discipline, Yuan Lang guessed that they were likely trained in military discipline and were becoming increasingly cautious about this operation.
