Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 227 The Unexpected Final Battle (Bonus chapter rules are in the author's comments, thank you)

The red team dared not take the initiative to cause trouble, and the blue team had a very smooth journey.

9 o'clock in the evening.

The Blue Team arrived at the third strategic point shown on the map more than an hour ahead of schedule, easily securing another point.

The total score has reached 6 points.

The third strategic point is located in an open area with no trees within dozens of meters, making it ideal for helicopter landings but also easy for the enemy to launch surprise attacks.

There was a box in the middle of the open space, containing only a flare gun.

"Snap!"

The signal flare shot into the sky, exceptionally bright and dazzling.

What followed was an unknown period of waiting. While waiting for the helicopter to arrive, Jackie Chan and his group returned to the woods with the hostages.

They set up a cordon at the edge of the woods to guard against a surprise attack by the Red Team, while waiting for the helicopter.

Since the match details did not specifically mention how long it would take for the helicopter to pick up the hostages to arrive, the Blue Team could only wait aimlessly.

Thinking that after the hostages were taken away, there were still 50 kilometers to go.

Jackie Chan had to regroup the Blue Team into two teams to take turns resting, ensuring the team members had the energy to cope with the rest of the journey.

The waiting time between the two strategic points was very short, and it was a clearing in the woods with no cover whatsoever.

If the Red Team hadn't had so few points, they would have been completely out of the game.

The battle here must be fierce.

Without proper rest and amidst intense battles, it's like marching 100 kilometers through the jungle continuously.

This is a considerable challenge for any unit, regardless of its level.

Knowing when to take a break is also a skill.

Led by Jackie Chan, the Blue Team set up camp and adopted a two-group rotation system for rest and relaxation to prevent the Red Team from sneaking in and launching sabotage.

However, the Red Team had no such intention at all.

Faithfully executing the new tactical strategy, without even glancing at the third strategic point, they headed straight for the fourth strategic point under the leadership of Captain Wild Wolf.

They've staked everything on the fourth strategic point, showing a do-or-die attitude.

Jackie Chan really didn't expect the Red Team to be so ruthless.

The environment at the third strategic point is really terrible. There isn't even a wall to block the wind around it, and the extraction point is just a bare open space.

If the red team is willing to stay, the blue team will definitely not get the two points from the hostage evacuation.

The red team has two snipers, so when the helicopter lands to pick up the hostages, they can easily snipe them.

No hostages may be killed during the escort; if a hostage dies, each team will lose three points.

After completing the escort, they began their evacuation.

This one no longer exists!

The red team could have focused on killing the hostages, preventing the blue team from securing the two points for a successful evacuation, and also stealing two kills from the blue team.

The Blue Team needs to escort the hostages onto the helicopter, and they must enter the open space in the middle together with the hostages.

There were no covers within dozens of meters. If White Wolf and Black Wolf went all out, with their marksmanship, taking down one or two would be a piece of cake.

However, even with such a huge temptation, the Lone Wolf Team A was still able to resist.

That's truly impressive execution!

The red team headed straight for the fourth strategic point to acquire the three points that were crucial to them and could determine the final outcome with an 80% probability.

The Blue Team protected the hostages and stayed at the third strategic point, gaining the team's 7th and 8th points.

The two teams seem to be doing their own thing, with no possibility of any overlap, and both can get what they want.

however.

But things are not that simple.

The exercise group brought together the strength of both armies and the General Staff Department, and the various ideas and opinions of dozens or even hundreds of staff officers to create this confrontation competition.

Not only are each strategic point brilliant, but every link in the chain is also interconnected.

The "clever" move by one team to abandon the fight for the third strategic point and head directly to the fourth strategic point was already within the calculations of the exercise department.

The Red Team's idea of ​​getting all three points is indeed a bit of a pipe dream.

Because the Blue Team only waited for two hours, and a general aviation helicopter actually flew over, picked up the hostages, and took them away.

With their score reaching 8 points, the Blue Team embarked on another nighttime march through the jungle.

Having learned from last night's night march, the Blue Team was not much slower than the Red Team; the difference was only in the two hours they started later.

a new day.

It was more than 6 o'clock in the morning.

As planned, the Red Team was the first to reach the fourth strategic point.

Having earned a point for being the first to arrive, the wolf immediately chose to revive the only remaining fallen hyena, and then led the team to search for the signal gun in a frantic search.

The fourth strategic point is a large logging and processing plant that is also abandoned and covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

Back in the day, when the country was mainly focused on economic development and didn't pay much attention to the environment and environmental protection, timber from the primeval forests of southern Yunnan was an extremely popular and sought-after commodity.

Many illegal logging sites have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Just like mining coal!

Large-scale logging and processing plants with proper national permits have also settled deep in the primeval forest, beginning to plunder various rare timbers from the primeval jungle.

Later, with the improvement of the national environment and environmental protection, more and more trees were included in the protection list.

Whether illegal or legitimate, they have gradually faded from the historical stage, just like coal mines, becoming traces of the times.

The equipment and factory buildings at this logging and processing plant are already in a very dilapidated state.

However, it hasn't collapsed yet.

Finding a small flare gun in a field of tens of thousands of square meters is extremely difficult for the red team; under normal circumstances, two hours would definitely not be enough.

The blue team only had two hours to catch up, so if the red team couldn't find them, they would have to search together with the blue team.

A battle is inevitable!

The exercise command deliberately arranged for the helicopter to arrive two hours later to pick up the hostages, rather than taking longer, just to embarrass the team that wanted to take shortcuts.

In addition, there is another major advantage – the airdrop will not be delivered until 5 hours later.

This essentially eliminates the possibility of opportunistic teams easily securing all the advantages of the fourth strategic point, but they still face competitive pressure from their rivals.

Red Team Captain Wild Wolf never imagined that the fourth strategic point would cover such a large area.

Looking at this site of tens of thousands of square meters, there are not only processing workshops, employee dormitories, dilapidated warehouses, and timber scattered everywhere.

Before even starting to look for strategic points, the wolf already felt it was going to be in a tough spot.

If it weren't for the fact that the two resurrected team members hadn't arrived yet, and they were still actively traveling on their way, going to the next strategic point would have been pointless.

Furthermore, the appearance of the fifth strategic point remains unknown and is still a mystery.

The Wild Wolves really wanted to abandon the fourth strategic point and head straight for the fifth strategic point, taking one step straight to await the Blue Team's final showdown.

To prevent the gray wolves and coyotes who were rushing behind from being unable to rejoin the main force and being easily swallowed by the blue team along the way.

This caused the Red Team's plan to fail, forcing them to prematurely end the game.

The Wild Wolves decided to take a gamble at the fourth strategic point, waiting for the revived team members to return while trying to find an opportunity to take down the Blue Team.

The main part of the logging camp is located in open outdoor terrain. The only processing plant and warehouse are dilapidated, with only open frames remaining.

The only indoor scene is a red-brick dormitory building!

Fighting in such a wide-open outdoor terrain, Wild Wolves believed that Lone Wolf A Group was no less capable than the Ace of Spades Commando Team and could definitely hold their own against them.

If we can find good terrain, it's not impossible to take down the blue team.

However, while the wolf was making his plans perfectly, he was unaware that the scales of fate had already tipped, and a dramatic turn of events unfolded.

The battle is about to end!

A dramatic scene unfolded on the road when the Blue Team, with just over ten kilometers to go before the fourth strategic point, sat down to rest and drink water.

Suddenly I heard a sound coming from the direction I was coming from; it sounded like footsteps in the woods.

Thinking they had encountered a wild beast, the blue team immediately formed a defensive formation and waited cautiously, fearing that a tiger or something might jump out.

Unexpectedly, after hiding silently for a long time, the jungle tiger saw nothing, but instead encountered a "wolf".

A member of the Red Team named Gray Wolf!

It's not easy to spot traces of movement at night, and what's more, Gray Wolf Mada just happened to run headfirst into Blue Team's arms.

Faced with six gun barrels that suddenly appeared, Ma Da had no choice but to cooperate, despite his reluctance.

He became the first "lone wolf" to be captured alive!

As for why he captured the suspect alive instead of killing him, Jackie Chan had his reasons.

This was a brilliant idea that Jackie Chan suddenly had on his way here.

Inspired by the capture of the Grey Wolf in the dead of night, Jackie Chan guessed that the Red Team had not caused any trouble, most likely because they had gone to the fourth strategic point in advance.

They've already reached the fourth strategic point, and once they get the points, they'll definitely revive another person.

Jackie Chan decided to target the hyenas!

Thinking that the chances of being stuck in traffic on the road were too slim, encountering a gray wolf was purely a matter of luck, and it was almost impossible to encounter a hyena again.

We must use some means to increase the probability.

Jackie Chan led his team forward until they found a necessary route to the fourth strategic point when they were less than 3 kilometers away.

He resorted to the same old trick again.

They started playing the game of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.

The wolf searched for four hours at the logging and processing plant before finally finding the signal gun it wanted.

And immediately fired a signal flare.

The thought of receiving an airdrop in just 5 hours filled Wild Wolf and his team with excitement and nervousness, while also raising a few questions in their minds.

The hyenas are still 100 kilometers away, so it's normal that they can't get here in a short time.

Why hasn't the gray wolf arrived yet?

Why hasn't the blue team arrived yet?

Wild Wolf sent White Wolf to guard outside, so that he would receive the message as soon as Blue Team appeared at the logging plant.

The Black Wolf, which could be deployed 1 kilometer away, had not seen the Blue Team arrive.

"Does that mean the helicopter to evacuate the hostages won't arrive for another five or six hours? Does that mean the Blue Team is already far behind schedule?"

The wolf couldn't understand the reason, and could only find this one possibility.

They then tried calling Grey Wolf via walkie-talkie, but received no response.

This made him doubt it for a time.

Was the Grey Wolf team defeated by the Blue Team?

Previously, there was an announcement every time someone died, but now there has been no announcement from the referee team, which proves that the gray wolf and the coyote are still alive.

"The motor isn't that slow; it's impossible that it hasn't come this far. Could it be lost?"

This left the wolf somewhat puzzled!

In this eerie and incomprehensible atmosphere, time passed by, and soon it was the fourth hour since the signal flare was launched.

Author's Note:

A new month, a new beginning.

I saw a friend say that Apple doesn't dare to make any long-term promises about additional updates, for fear of not being able to keep them. Just like last month, they only dared to do short-term ones.

This time will probably be the same.

Let's implement a short-term rule for extra chapters.

Our book is currently the only modern military fan fiction in the top ten of Qidian's military section, a lone survivor, thanks to the support of our readers.

To thank everyone for their hard work last month, Apple will implement a guaranteed minimum update rule.

If we can maintain our position as fourth on the military monthly ticket ranking this month, just like last month, we will update three chapters on that day, with each chapter containing no less than 3000 words.

As long as our brothers put in the effort, Apple will do the same.

Even if you go bald, you still need to take liver-protecting pills and just get it done.

At last.

Thanks for your support, everyone. Apple reads everyone's comments every day and will fix any issues as soon as possible. We are committed to listening to advice.

If you're not interested in the current plot, that's fine. Apple is speeding things up and will finish writing it in two chapters at most, then move on to a new plot. If you have any plot ideas you'd like to see, feel free to suggest them.

Thank you all for your support!

I'm so grateful!
