Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 279 The situation on the ground deteriorates further (Please subscribe)

Once it was confirmed that this was a real combat mission, and not "playing games" as they had guessed, the members of Lone Wolf Team B all became tense.

With the groundwork laid, Wild Wolf continued, "Thirteen book vendors resisted arrest with guns and have now fled to a large shopping mall, where they have taken 12 hostages, including an eight-year-old girl."

The peddler not only possessed automatic weapons but also carried a large amount of explosives, making the situation extremely serious.

Our mission is extremely difficult. We not only need to break in and eliminate them, but also rescue all the hostages safely. Do you all understand?

"clear!"

Group A and Group B answered loudly at the same time.

"Don't be so nervous. You haven't even seen the enemy yet, and you're already scared to death. What kind of person are you? There's always a first time. You'll get used to it."

Seeing that the members of Group B were all looking downcast, Gray Wolf stepped forward and comforted them with a smile.

"Let me first give you a general overview of the plan..."

Jackie Chan picked up where Wild Wolf left off, continuing, "Special forces train only for real combat. As long as it's real combat, you have to be prepared to get blood on the tip of a knife."

This rescue operation is your first battle, and it is the ultimate test to witness the results of your training.

Therefore, Group B will lead the assault, responsible for storming the site and rescuing the hostages. Group A will provide cover from the outside.

You are a team I personally trained, and you have all received the most advanced special operations training. I don't want to see you slink out of the enemy and have Team A go in to clean up your mess.

Of course, this operation is indeed very stressful, as the enemy outnumbers you by more than twice.

So don't be too nervous. I will personally lead you on the mission and develop the most comprehensive action plan for you.

What you need to do is actually very simple: empty your mind and utilize the techniques you have learned in training.

I don't expect you to perform at 100%. As long as you can perform at 70% of what I've taught you, winning this battle will be no problem.

Now tell me loudly, shout it with all your might, do you have the confidence?

Jackie Chan used various psychological tactics in his speech, not only using reverse psychology to provoke them, but also indicating that he would lead the team and give them enough psychological support.

Group B, who were initially nervous due to their first real-world competition, have gained a significant boost in confidence.

Among them, the one with the greatest effect.

Jackie Chan himself led the team.

During the selection and special training, Jackie Chan had already demonstrated the strength of a supermodel, suppressing even the most rebellious Zhuang Yan.

In the hearts of the Lone Wolf Team B members, Jackie Chan had become an omnipotent being.

With Jackie Chan, a super expert, leading the team, it was like giving Group B a sense of security, leaving them with no reason to be afraid.

Without the fear and apprehension of actual combat operations, their expressions naturally relaxed.

However...

Humans are ultimately emotional beings.

Without the fear of the enemy, other emotions will take over.

"Sigh~"

The ostrich suddenly sighed.

The medic patted the ostrich on the chest and teased, "What's wrong? Still scared? With the instructor leading the way, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Yeah, the instructor is so awesome, we don't even need to go. He just rushes in and beats them up, those few petty thieves are no match for him, hehe." Qiang Xiaowei said, flattering him.

The fact that this guy was able to become a criminal investigation captain after retiring from the military wasn't just a random arrangement.

His easygoing personality makes him a perfect fit.

"Qiangzi, you always seem so serious. I never knew you were such a good flatterer," Geng Jihui teased.

"I'm not flattering you, I'm just telling the truth, right, Xiao Zhuang?"

Qiang Xiaowei was quite thoughtful. Seeing that Zhuang Yan was keeping a tense expression and seemed to be under a lot of pressure, he deliberately tried to get Zhuang Yan to chat with him as well.

When under pressure, a pleasant conversation atmosphere can indeed relieve stress.

"I don't want to be a bootlicker."

Zhuang Yan, as always, didn't flatter anyone and changed the subject, saying, "Ostrich, aren't you a paratrooper? You're born to be surrounded. You're not afraid of being surrounded by the enemy. Now that you're going to surround the enemy, why are you so nervous?"

"I've got calluses on my hands from shooting targets, but I've never shot a person before," the ostrich said nervously.

"It's okay, just think of it as hitting me, right?" the medic said with a grin.

"Huh? How did you guess my long-planned idea?" the ostrich said, feigning surprise.

"Because ostriches have small brains, haha."

The medic brought up the old joke again, which made everyone who understood it laugh.

The ostrich laughed, feeling much better. It raised its right fist and said, "Thank you. I feel much better now."

"You thank me after I scolded you? That's called being a jerk, hahaha." The medic bumped his fist and then gave the ostrich another dressing down.

The crowd laughed even louder.

This pair of clowns, always up to no good and constantly teasing each other, are actually quite intelligent and use unconventional methods to unite the team.

It brought countless joys to everyone and also made the team more harmonious and more effective.

At this moment, the ostrich realized something crucial and curiously asked Jackie Chan, "Instructor, you must have real combat experience, so can you tell me what it's like to be shot in the head with a sniper rifle?"

"That's obvious, it'll probably just spit out tofu pudding, that's how it is in the movies," the medic interjected.

"Don't mess around. I didn't ask you. Do I need to tell you what's in the movies? There's no such thing as real life, tsk." The ostrich rolled its eyes at the medic.

"The specific hit effect cannot be generalized; it depends on the type of gun."

Jackie Chan, from his professional perspective, explained: "Take your Type 88 sniper rifle as an example. Although it uses the same DBP87 rounds as the Type 95 rifle..."

However, it uses a heavy-nosed bullet with a bullet length of 28mm, which is 4mm longer than a regular bullet.

However, because the heavy bullet is inserted into the cartridge case to a greater depth, the two types of bullets are actually the same in length. Apart from the paint on the bullet, there is basically no difference from the outside.

Heavy bullets have stronger penetration, greater lethality, and a greater cavity effect.

If you hit an enemy between the eyebrows with a single shot, the bullet that penetrates the brow bone and enters the skull will deflect or even flip. The huge cavity effect created by the forward and backward flipping and its own rotation is enough to instantly shred his brain.

A heavy bullet is powerful enough to pierce a person's head, and when it comes out from behind, it will leave a fist-sized hole in the back of their head.

It brought out all the shattered brain matter, spraying out a spreading pattern behind him.

Not only will there be white brain matter like tofu pudding, but also red blood and black hair, covering the ground like a colorful oil painting.

The visual effects are absolutely stunning, and I'm sure you'll all dislike them.

Jackie Chan's description was so vivid and clear, it was as if he had experienced it firsthand. Every member of the Lone Wolf Commando felt a chill run down their spine and felt quite uncomfortable.

The gray wolf and the wild wolf recalled that scene.

Before the competition with the Ace of Spades Commando Team, Captain He Zhijun obtained some materials, including photos of what appeared to be the Ace of Spades Commando Team's combat scenes.

The ground was covered in shredded meat, resembling a scene from a slaughterhouse, a sight they both vividly remembered.

Now, listening to Jackie Chan's vivid description, Wild Wolf and Gray Wolf are basically certain that Jackie Chan was the main character in that massacre.

However, all of this information is confidential and cannot be disclosed casually.

"Huh, is it that exaggerated?"

Qiang Xiaowei shuddered; he was disgusted by the scene Jackie Chan described.

"It's alright, still within acceptable limits."

The medics felt nothing at all; after all, they came from medical school where they ate in front of corpses.

"Keep pretending."

The ostrich gave the medic a disdainful look, then his expression turned worried as he said, "There's an eight-year-old girl among the hostages. She's so young. If she sees this, it will be incredibly damaging to her."

The atmosphere immediately became heavy after the ostrich said those words.

"She's only eight years old. If she sees this, it will be a nightmare she can never get rid of for the rest of her life. Is there any way we can prevent her from seeing it?" Zhuang Yan asked worriedly.

"When we rescue hostages, we not only save their lives, but we also can't let them be traumatized. Otherwise, the image of the book vendor being killed could really become a nightmare that she can't shake off for the rest of her life," Geng Jihui said.

"You guys should focus on saving people first. Concentrate and stop thinking about other things."

Gray Wolf stepped forward and corrected the two, saying, "I would rather save a living person who has nightmares than a little girl who is forever asleep."

"What you're saying makes sense, but first we need to establish a premise."

Wild Wolf joined the discussion, extending his right index finger and saying, "The premise is... we have to rescue the hostages alive first."

Only then can we talk about other things, such as helping her get rid of her nightmares.

Therefore, before we begin, I must remind you that your abilities are limited, so don't overthink things, don't get distracted, and focus on completing your tasks.

Wild Wolf's words carried a clear warning, silencing the members of Lone Wolf Group B.

Zhuang Yan glanced at him, clearly showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

The meaning behind Wild Wolf's words was quite clear: he believed that Group B's capabilities were very limited, and that they should not be greedy and overthink things, but focus on completing the task first.

Zhuang Yan did not agree with Wild Wolf's words.

He felt that Group B was being underestimated; they were capable of doing both things.

Jackie Chan listened to everyone's discussion the whole time without interrupting. After everyone finished speaking and Wild Wolf made his final conclusion,

Jackie Chan then came out and said, "Actually, the two things are not contradictory."

As long as you have the real strength to complete this mission, instead of just barely managing and having no room for error.

Protecting that little girl wasn't a difficult thing.

If you really want to protect the little girl and prevent her from living the rest of her life in nightmares, then take action. Talking about it is meaningless.

Do you understand?

"clear!"

Jackie Chan's words were like a shot of adrenaline, completely igniting the fighting spirit of the Lone Wolf B team.

Everything is ready; we are just waiting to take action.

The helicopter flew for more than an hour, traversing more than 200 kilometers to reach R County, where it landed in an open area where several ambulances were parked.

The detectives who were waiting there met with Wild Wolf and greeted him.

Because the matter was so urgent, he arranged for people to get into the car after exchanging no more than five sentences with them, and they would discuss everything on the car.

Group A was assigned to one ambulance, and Group B was assigned to one ambulance.

Jackie Chan and Wild Wolf were arranged to ride separately with the police captain in an ambulance so that they could explain the situation on the way to the scene of the incident.

Jackie Chan and all the members of the Lone Wolf Commando had removed all their armbands and other protective gear before they arrived.

Now that all vehicles are being replaced by ambulances to arrive at the scene, the secrecy can be further improved, preventing outsiders from knowing what kind of troops are coming.

As a strategic-level special operations force, we must live in the air forever.

They come without a trace and go without a trace; they cannot be seen or grasped.

This is how it should be!

It would take some time for the convoy to reach the scene of the incident. The criminal investigation captain, with a serious expression like Jackie Chan and Wild Wolf, gave a detailed account of the current situation.

Currently, the 13 book vendors have completely taken control of the mall, locking both the front and back doors with U-locks and assigning book vendors to guard them.

Special police and regular police blocked off the street, completely surrounding the mall.

However, from yesterday until now, we have been unable to break through. Two rescue operations have been organized, but both ended in failure.

After daybreak.

The book vendors seemed impatient and eager to escape, so they sent a representative to make a formal request to the police.

They demanded that the police provide them with a helicopter that could carry 15 people by 6 p.m.

If this demand is not met, the book vendors will kill one hostage in public every hour until the police agree.

It's already 11 a.m., and there are less than seven hours left.

The time is running out to break into the mall within seven hours, rescue all the hostages, and eliminate all the book vendors.

The police were completely out of options, and the Lone Wolf Commando became their only hope.

If the Lone Wolf Commando cannot complete the rescue, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Regardless of the extremely negative social impact and potential panic that would result from a book trafficker killing a hostage every hour.

Or should we really give the peddlers a helicopter so they can escape to the other side?

Both paths were dead ends for the police, and the consequences would be unacceptable to them.

The criminal investigation captain was already very anxious.

He didn't know which unit had come, only that it was the most powerful anti-terrorism unit sent by his superiors, so he placed all his hopes on the Lone Wolf Commando Team.

Seeing the hopeful look in the detective captain's eyes, Wild Wolf felt immense pressure.

The actual situation.

It was more complicated than he had imagined.

Thirteen brutal traffickers, armed with explosives and automatic rifles, possessed firepower even more ferocious than the local armed police, and had already seized an absolute advantage in terrain.

Let Lone Wolf Team B carry out this mission...

The wolves felt extremely uneasy, fearing they might not be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
