Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 258 The selection process officially ends (Hint: This is the final transitional chapter; the next chapter will be original content)

"Wandering in the Jungle" is a unique training program for Wolf Fang, which translates to "extreme jungle survival."

Back when Team A went to the 702nd Regiment to conduct special forces selection, Jackie Chan participated in the 100-kilometer infiltration reconnaissance, which was actually quite similar to wandering in the jungle.

The former involves escaping from a chase on the plains, where the pumpkins need to work together to survive and search for enemy reconnaissance missions.

The latter involves traversing a primeval jungle to survive, requiring one person to fight alone, relying solely on a compass to find the way back to the devil's camp.

Same way.

These are all tests of extreme survival skills!

The rookies were scattered and thrown into the wilderness, while Jackie Chan and a group of instructors, including Wild Wolf and Gray Wolf, sat leisurely in the command tent looking at their computers.

The engineers and communications soldiers of the Wolf Fang Brigade installed hundreds of camouflaged cameras in the jungle, scattered throughout the jungle.

The instructors can monitor the rookies' every move from the moment they sit at home and use their computers.

From nearly fifty novices at the beginning, only a dozen or so have been eliminated so far, resulting in a terrifying elimination rate of nearly 80%.

Those newbies who have persevered until now are all top-notch experts.

Two and a half days of extreme jungle survival training was a tough challenge for them, but certainly not one that required them to risk their lives.

As long as you follow what you've learned step by step and don't try to be clever or cheat, your pass rate is very high.

Jackie Chan was only worried about Chen Pai, who was persisting despite his illness. Because of his physical limitations, even with a very strong will, he was still likely to have an accident.

So Jackie Chan specially found a monitoring screen to keep track of Chen Pai throughout the entire process to prevent any accidents.

result.

Chen Pai, who was ill, was fine, but another dark-skinned, hardworking rookie became the only one eliminated.

The reason is still the ridiculous imitation; instead of learning the essence, it harmed itself.

Through various military-related books and newspapers, he discovered that foreign special forces soldiers would buy tourist boots to replace their military boots when they were on long marches in the field.

As a result, he also bought a pair of tourist boots and replaced the combat boots issued to him by the army.

This caused blisters to quickly form on his feet. He forced himself to walk, and the blisters broke, causing even more blisters to form. After walking for a day, almost every inch of the soles of his feet was healed, and the wounds were stuck to the soles of his shoes.

With every step, the soles of my shoes would tear at the wound, causing excruciating pain.

Even if you grit your teeth and try to hold on, it's no use!

Jackie Chan knew that if he continued to force himself to endure it, the wound would most likely worsen due to infection. There was still a day and a half of travel left, and it could potentially lead to limb necrosis, which would require amputation.

If you can't become a special forces soldier, you can still stay in the military; but if you get your leg amputated, your military career is completely ruined.

So Jackie Chan decisively eliminated this rookie, and had Coyote and Sirius drive to pick him up and take him to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Aside from this rookie who got eliminated because he acted on his own initiative.

All the other trainees successfully emerged from the Wandering Jungle and completed their Wolf Fang baptism within the designated time.

Having survived the baptism of the wandering jungle, it's like having one foot already in the wolf's den.

Only one last step remains—

Anti-capture training!

In fact, before this special forces selection, wandering through the jungle was the final test to enter the Wolf Fang Army. As long as you could get through it, it meant you had succeeded.

The reason why we've only half-stepped in now can be understood as keeping pace with the times under the military reform.

The previous training intensity is no longer sufficient, and an updated iterative training mode is needed.

Wild Wolf likely studied the Navy SEALs, drawing inspiration from their "Hell Week" training and their counter-capture training.

The Navy SEALs have a training program whose English name is abbreviated as "SERE".

SERE is an abbreviation for the four English words: survival, escape, resistance, and flight.

The main purpose was to prevent soldiers from being captured alive by the enemy and, unable to withstand the enemy's various torture methods, from ultimately leaking our important intelligence.

Therefore, this specialized training was developed to train soldiers in two specific aspects.

First, through various cruel physical tortures, the soldiers' willpower and resilience are enhanced.

Secondly, it trains soldiers on how to maintain a calm mind and think strategically after being captured by the enemy, so as to survive and escape successfully.

Wild Wolves simply replicated the SERE course, turning it into Wolf Fang's anti-capture training.

In order to achieve the desired training effect and to make the training highly realistic enough so that no novice could spot any flaws.

Wild Wolf specially invited Jackie Chan to study together and designed a perfectly interlocking scheme.

First, Jackie Chan and Gao Dazhuang gathered the remaining eleven rookies together and, with serious expressions and superb acting skills, announced it to the public.

Wolf Fang only recruits warriors who are not afraid of death. Only veterans who have been trained in actual combat are qualified to become special forces soldiers.

and so.

The final challenge to reach Wolf Fang is to undertake a real combat mission.

Head to the border region to crack down on drug trafficking and eliminate the drug trafficking armed group.

To make the performance more realistic, they solemnly announced that Gray Wolf would be accompanied by several veteran wolves, including Coyote, to join the rookies.

Finally, a serious reminder to newbies.

The book vendors are all vicious thugs who are capable of anything. Their actions in combat can be fatal. If anyone is afraid, they can choose not to participate.

Jackie Chan and the wolf's acting was very successful, easily fooling all the newbies.

The newbies who thought they were going to participate in real combat were all intimidated by this final hurdle, and everyone's mind became very heavy.

That noon.

The cooks prepared a lavish meal of fish and meat, as if it were the last meal before the execution.

The already tense atmosphere of the actual combat became even more oppressive.

Finally, one of the newbies couldn't take it anymore. He remembered that he was the only child in his family, and his parents were waiting for him to come home. He couldn't die out there.

After gritting his teeth and struggling, he finally chose to give up.

The rest, including the rebel Zhuang Yan, were terrified and felt a chill run down their spines at the thought of being shot.

But considering the sacred mission of special forces soldiers, they have persevered to this point.

The rest of them held on, and no one left.

however.

The excitement is far from over.

After lunch, preparations for the operation began. Everyone checked their equipment and weapons, each person receiving a standard set of reconnaissance equipment.

Then the gray wolves brought live ammunition and placed it right in front of them, letting them load the magazines themselves.

Feel the live ammunition being pressed into the magazine with your hands, and imagine that these bullets will hit real people's bodies, and that such bullets will also hit your own body.

The pressure suddenly doubled!

Once the newbies had prepared their supplies and equipment, the final trump card was unleashed.

Grey Wolf personally guided the rookies in writing their wills, writing letters that the army would pass on to their families if they died on the battlefield.

This immediately created a strong atmosphere of real combat, with even the newbies shouting slogans of "live and die together."

9 o'clock in the evening.

All members of Lone Wolf Group A attended the farewell ceremony. After Wild Wolf's impassioned speech, the rookies officially began their practical training.

No sooner had the wolf and the rookies left than Jackie Chan and the wolf burst into laughter.

The art style has changed 180 degrees.

Because it was a trap from the start, the rookies and the Wolf Fang team led by Gray Wolf unsurprisingly encountered an attack by the book dealers.

Moreover, it was Grey Wolf himself who led his men in.

Earlier today, the wolves ordered the lone wolves to run to this place and carefully set up a smokescreen, which knocked out all the operatives.

(P.S.: The use of sleeping gas is an artistic depiction of the original storyline and is unlikely to be feasible outdoors in reality.)

All the personnel involved were captured, and the rest of the story is predictable.

Special forces soldiers from other squadrons of the Wolf Fang Brigade, disguised as ruthless book traffickers, began their performance in front of a group of rookies.

First up was the appetizer beating session, where each newbie got a beating in turn.

Then comes the psychological intimidation phase.

First, take the gray wolf over for interrogation, then from an unseen angle, use an eighty-pound hammer to smash a piece of rib, pretending to break the gray wolf's hand.

The gray wolf's acting was pretty good; those screams were absolutely hilarious.

Then, the coyote rushed to save the gray wolf without hesitation, only to be shot dead by squeezing the blood bag in his chest.

Then he dragged the female guide into the house and began his usual screaming spree.

When it came to interrogating Zhuang Yan, he seized the opportunity to resist, and the other rookies cooperated in the counterattack, successfully subduing the head of the book-selling gang.

The whole process is relatively simple, but the training effect it can provide is actually very small.

It's nowhere near as good as a real SERE course.

If Jackie Chan were to design the whole thing, he could make these rookies experience excruciating pain and develop a truly steel-like will.

Unfortunately, this was the first time the Wolf Fang team had participated in anti-capture training, and the training ground was severely insufficient, leaving no time for last-minute preparations.

Jackie Chan did not get involved in this part.

Given that this is also a first-time experience for the wild wolf, it's completely understandable that there would be many problems with the training of being captured. After all, it's an extra training subject, so it's okay if the effect is not good.

After three months of intensive training and selection, the remaining ten rookies were finally able to shed their rookie status and become real Wolf Fang Special Forces soldiers.

Before the induction ceremony held the following day, Zhuang Yan, who had been holding back for a long time, finally exploded.

He proved himself capable enough to become a Wolf Fang Special Forces soldier, and as a long-planned counterattack, he refused to participate in the induction ceremony.

He then formally submitted an application to return to the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company.

Wild Wolf was furious when he heard the news. He was about to rush over and question Zhuang Yan when Jackie Chan stopped him before he even left the house.

Jackie Chan analyzed various reasons for him, which all boiled down to him having a lot of pent-up anger.

Secondly, he has only been in the military for a short time and is only a private. He has not realized the meaning of being a soldier and lacks a sense of military consciousness and discipline.

Zhuang Yan has one major weakness, which is also his greatest strength.

That means you value relationships!

Zhuang Yan cherishes everything, whether it's his love for his girlfriend Xiaoying, his respect and gratitude for Miao Lian, or his friendship with Chen Pai.

If we address this specific issue, we can easily resolve Zhuang Yan's problem.

Jackie Chan had already devised a solution, which consisted of two steps. He and Wild Wolf worked together, each completing one step.

Jackie Chan found Chen Pai and asked him to talk to Zhuang Yan.

Chen Pai was already at his limit. When he walked into the tent with Lao Pao's help, the stubborn Zhuang Yan's expression changed immediately.

Chen Pai was the person Zhuang Yan respected and trusted most, besides Miao Lian.

Seeing Chen Pai like this, he immediately panicked.

Chen Pai and Zhuang Yan had a detailed conversation, including about his illness. Amidst Zhuang Yan's shocked and uncertain gaze, Chen Pai calmly told him that he was about to become paralyzed and wouldn't last more than a few days.

Zhuang Yan was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't believe that Chen Pai, who had fought for his dream for so long and had become a special forces soldier, was about to become a cripple.

This was completely unacceptable to him!

The reason Chen Pai revealed his illness at this time was to let Zhuang Yan know what a soldier's will, dreams, and goals are.

In the end, Chen Pai didn't force Zhuang Yan to do anything.

He simply said that Zhuang Yan was the person he valued most, and now that his dream of becoming a special forces soldier had been shattered, he hoped that Zhuang Yan could take his place and see the more exciting world ahead.

If Zhuang Yan still doesn't want to be a special forces soldier, that's fine too; at most, this will just be a lifelong regret for him.

This tactic is a strategic retreat.

For Zhuang Yan, who values ​​relationships deeply, this was a deadly and devastating move.

The thought of leaving Wolf Fang had already largely subsided.

Upon receiving a notification from Wild Wolf, Miao Lian rushed over and led Zhuang Yan into the Wolf Fang Brigade's Hall of Honor to witness the countless martyrs and predecessors who sacrificed their lives for the country in the Sino-Vietnamese War.

It tells the stories of each martyr and everything they did for the country and the people.

Zhuang Yan's defenses have completely collapsed.

The Wolf Fang was built with the lives of these heroes, yet he treated it like a joke out of spite.

He knelt down before the group of martyrs with a thud, repenting for insulting Wolf Fang because of his personal temper and for letting down the martyrs.

Seeing Zhuang Yan kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face, Miao Lian hugged him and patted his back heavily.

A relieved smile spread across his face!

In the last two minutes of the Wolf Fang new member induction ceremony, which was about to officially begin.

Zhuang Yan, wearing the Wolf Fang special forces camouflage uniform, ran over and joined the team. He, along with Zheng Sanpao, Geng Jihui, Ostrich, the medic, and 10 other rookies, raised their hands and loudly swore an oath in front of the red flag and the team flag.

"I swear that I am a special forces soldier of the Chinese Army, one of the most elite soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army."

I will bravely face all hardships and dangers, whether from training or actual combat. No matter what danger I face, I will remain calm and fight bravely.

No matter what happens, I will always remember my oath, set an example as a soldier, and never yield.

If necessary, I will sacrifice my life for my country;

If necessary, save the last bullet for me!

Save the last bullet for me!

Save the last bullet for me!

……

"Wolf Fang, as expected of an iron-blooded force born from the flames of war and forged with blood. In terms of fighting spirit alone, even Team A is inferior. Now that the selection is finally over, it's time for me to begin my performance."

Jackie Chan, who was watching the induction ceremony from the sidelines, had a playful smile on his face.

His game has begun!!
