Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Gray Wolf pointed out the key issue incisively, instantly freezing the atmosphere.

Treat yourself as the most perfect machine, think rationally about everything, minimize risks, and never be influenced by personal feelings.

This is the basics of special operations!

From the very beginning of the operation, when the Lone Wolf B team learned that there was an eight-year-old girl as a hostage, their personal emotions began to influence their judgment.

Therefore, the plan they ultimately devised completely ignored the value of the other eleven hostages.

His mind was preoccupied with how to save the little girl and how to stop her from living in nightmares, which led to a major blunder in his plan.

"Grey Wolf, we know what you're saying, but the problem is clear now. The second floor is completely enclosed, and we have no idea what's going on inside. We can't go in, so we can't prioritize dealing with it. We might as well save what we can see first and rescue the little girl."

Zhuang Yan argued logically and forcefully, refuting Grey Wolf's opposition to Group B's plan.

"Just because we can't see them, does that mean they don't exist? Does that mean we can ignore their importance? Does that mean we can put them in danger? What if we lose all eleven hostages while trying to save this little girl? This is a serious problem involving eleven people," Gray Wolf said solemnly.

"I……"

Zhuang Yan instinctively wanted to retort, but after the word "I" escaped his lips, he realized he couldn't refute it. If the eleven hostages died, the consequences...

He dared not imagine the consequences!

Even though he felt very sorry for the little girl, when he saw her crying uncontrollably while observing her through the binoculars, his heart ached terribly.

"Do any of you have different opinions?"

This rescue operation is very important. Wild Wolves hopes to use this operation to train Lone Wolf B Team and help them grow through this mission.

The higher the difficulty, the greater the potential for growth.

"Since the second floor is a completely enclosed structure, it must need a ventilation system, otherwise everyone inside will suffocate. Can we find a ventilation duct and climb into the second floor?" Ostrich suggested, his imagination running wild.

"Great idea!"

"I think this method will work."

Do we have a layout diagram of the ventilation ducts?

Geng Jihui and others, who were not very familiar with ventilation systems, were immediately intrigued by the suggestion.

This seems like a good idea!

"Have you been watching too many movies? Those are the ventilation ducts of a large office building. Ours is just a small shopping mall. It's a miracle if a cat can even fit into the ventilation ducts. You think you can climb in? Do you know how to shrink yourself?"

The medic's merciless criticism extinguished any glimmer of hope that had just begun to emerge.

"This won't work, that won't work, so what should we do? Can any of you come up with a solution? Instead of just waiting around, we might as well use our plan; at least we can save one person," Qiang Xiaowei complained.

"We have a plan."

Gray Wolf took the floor plan he had drawn and pointed to one of the areas on the second floor of the exterior wall, saying, "Based on our observation and analysis of the second floor plan..."

This place is at the end of a corridor, and it used to have floor-to-ceiling windows when it was originally designed.

Later, when the mall was being built, it was covered up with something for the overall planning of the second floor. I guess it was most likely a single brick wall.

I think we can do this...

Gray Wolf pointed to another spot and said, "Team B will launch an assault from the first floor according to their plan and successfully rescue the little girl."

Our Group A acted simultaneously, rappelling down to the second-floor exterior wall, then using directional explosives to breach the wall and break in for a forced rescue.

This approach may carry some risks, but it will maximize the chances of rescuing the eleven hostages.

The Grey Wolf's plan is indeed a significant improvement, representing an upgraded version of Group B's action plan and is more feasible than Group B's plan.

The members of Group B were very convinced and secretly sighed that experience truly matters.

The wolf was fairly satisfied with the plan, as it allowed them to operate simultaneously, protecting the little girl while also rescuing the other eleven hostages.

Therefore, to avoid any unforeseen complications, the wolf decided to proceed with this plan.

He declared to the public, "Nothing is more important than the hostages. This is our motto. I hope the hostages will be safe and you will all return safely."

Do you have any objections to the Gray Wolf's action plan? If not, I...

"etc!"

Just as Wild Wolf was about to announce the start of the operation, Jackie Chan suddenly appeared, interrupting Wild Wolf.

"The Grey Wolf's plan is indeed passable, but I have to pour cold water on it. If you really do that, at least half of the other eleven hostages will die, and we might even lose our lives."

Don't forget, the brothel has a lot of explosives. If Group A storms the second floor with explosives, it will definitely alert the brothel. With nowhere to escape, the brothel is capable of anything.

If they were to detonate all the explosives they had, the building could very well collapse.

"At that point, forget about rescuing the hostages; we ourselves will be buried alive beneath this building."

What Jackie Chan poured out wasn't just a bucket of cold water; it was liquid nitrogen that could freeze a person's bones.

The book peddler certainly knew that once he was caught, he wouldn't even have the chance to spend the rest of his life in jail; there was a 99% chance he would be shot.

Since being caught means certain death anyway, it's better to perish together.

At least it can drag a few people down with it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this sounds impossible and that no one would be that crazy. But vendors are not human, and you can't judge them by common sense.

They're capable of anything.

Because he thought of this, he and the hostages might be killed in the explosion.

The Lone Wolf Groups A and B felt a chill run down their spines.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Unlike the others who were thoroughly exposed, Wild Wolf, upon hearing Jackie Chan's remarks, suddenly realized and said, "Giant Wolf, you are a master of counter-terrorism operations."

They are particularly adept at architectural warfare, employing various tactics with ingenuity; I have personally experienced this firsthand.

You were out alone for so long, you must have scouted a lot of places and come up with a well-thought-out plan, right? Then don't keep it to yourself, tell everyone.

Jackie Chan's abilities are widely recognized, and Wild Wolf's words were indeed enlightening, instantly bringing everyone to their senses.

That's true.

There's clearly a top expert in the field here, so why are you all trying to teach others?

The problem that everyone else can't solve is how to break into the second floor, take down the enemy, and rescue the hostages. Jackie Chan will definitely have a way.

"I do have an action plan, but the core of our operation this time is to use combat as training. We not only need to complete the mission perfectly, but you also need to grow sufficiently and learn from the experience. So, before I talk about the action plan, I must correct two points."

Jackie Chan looked at everyone seriously, his gaze sweeping over each person in Group A and Group B.

He made everyone realize the seriousness of the situation before saying, "The first thing I want to say is, do not completely trust any information provided from outside sources. Always be skeptical, or you will suffer a great loss."

For example, in this case, you completely believed the information provided by the criminal investigation captain, which was a serious mistake.

The criminal investigation captain said that the stairwells on the second floor and the floors above it have been completely blocked off. Are you just going to believe that and not do any investigation?

However, based on my personal investigation, I discovered that it wasn't entirely hopeless, and the situation differed significantly from what the police captain had described.

"what?"

The members of Lone Wolf Group B were greatly surprised, their eyes wide open.

I can't believe it's true!

"Uh, well, the locals are more familiar with it, so we just..." Sirius touched his nose, awkwardly trying to explain.

As veterans of special operations for many years, they had never really thought about this aspect.

It turned out that something went wrong here, which was quite embarrassing.

"If there are problems, fix them; if there are mistakes, correct them. This is something we've always overlooked. Now that the giant wolf has brought it up, everyone must keep it in mind and absolutely not allow it to happen again."

Wild Wolf was quite adept at managing his subordinates; his words both admonished them and defused the awkward situation.

Then, going along with it, he said, "Giant Wolf, your thinking is indeed more thorough. We do need to correct that. Is there a second point?"

Even the commando captain, Wild Wolf, adopted a learning attitude, so the others naturally had nothing to say and all showed a humble attitude.

"The second problem is more serious, and it's related to the way your Wolf Fang operates."

Jackie Chan's expression became more serious, and he raised his voice slightly as he said, "Your Wolf Fang team is better at jungle warfare, and you are used to engaging in firefights when you encounter enemies. Your style of action is more aggressive and swift."

If you were to fight the enemy in the jungle, there would be absolutely no problem with that; that's exactly how you'd fight.

However, this fighting style becomes somewhat inappropriate in close-quarters combat in the city and is not suitable for certain situations.

Standard operations are fine. Just break the window, use explosives, rush in and take out the enemy.

However, in certain special situations, especially when launching a rescue operation, the bold and aggressive fighting style appears to be very outdated.

Take the situation we are in right now, for example. Whether it is Group B's window-breaking assault or Group A's wall-blowing assault, both are extremely flawed operational strategies.

You should learn to open your minds and broaden your perspectives.

For example, before being discovered by the enemy, before the actual battle begins, could we use a silent raid mode to sneak in and do something for the enemy?
