Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 286 Zhuang Yan's First Kill (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The flames from the cutting gun shot out through the door, softening and igniting the plastic exterior of the chain lock, while the metal chain inside began to glow red-hot rapidly.

The cracks in the door through which the flames passed also emitted a burnt smell.

Zhuang Yan pushed the door open, widening the gap, and peered through the crack into the hallway outside, his nose beaded with sweat from the tension.

The veteran locksmith was also very nervous, sweat dripping from his nose.

Outside the firebreak, Geng Jihui and the others gripped their guns tightly, their expressions even more tense than those of Lao Pao and Zhuang Yan.

They were all very nervous, afraid that the book vendors would hear them or smell the burning.

If the book vendor discovers it before the door is opened.

The consequences could be disastrous!

The gap in the door was simply too small, only a finger's width wide, so even hydraulic shears couldn't fit through it; only a flame cutter could do it.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

"Snap~ Snail~"

The lock burned through and slid towards the ground.

The key fell to the ground with a tremendous sound; even the loudest horn outside couldn't drown it out.

The old man watched as the broken chain fell down, unable to catch it with both hands full of things. His heart was pounding in his throat.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yan reacted quickly enough, inserting his hand vertically into the crack in the door and trapping the chain lock that was falling down.

"Phew~"

The old gunman let out a long breath, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Geng Jihui, Ostrich, and the others watching from outside were also anxious, their backs instantly soaked with sweat, and goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.

"Well done!"

Jackie Chan gave Zhuang Yan a thumbs up, praising him for taking timely emergency measures.

Then make hand gestures.

The door is open, and the whole team is ready.

The people who were originally scattered on both sides of the fireproof room went up to help the old man and take the cutting equipment out of the fireproof room.

They then regrouped into a fan-shaped defensive formation and positioned themselves behind the assault soldier Zhuang Yan.

Jackie Chan patted Geng Jihui on the shoulder, a tactical signal to continue advancing. In the current context, it meant that they could begin moving forward.

Geng Jihui continued to upload the instructions and then squeezed Zhuang Yan's shoulder again.

Upon receiving the order from his commander, Zhuang Yan gently pushed the door open with his right hand, widening the gap to about a fist's width, and then pulled his left hand back from the outside.

Gently place the melted chain in the corner, then use your right hand to push open the right door while holding the gun in your left hand.

Geng Jihui went up and stood next to him, holding the gun in his right hand and pushing the left half of the door with his left hand, walking out as he pushed.

These coordination techniques have been practiced in the counter-terrorism training room, so there is almost no need for further communication.

With perfect teamwork, the two pushed the fire door open from the left and right and secured it against the wall. Then Geng Jihui retreated and restored the original formation.

They officially entered the second floor in a fan-shaped defensive formation to begin contact with the enemy.

Since they didn't know where the enemy was, they only knew from the floor plan given by the criminal police captain that the overall design of the mall was a U-shape.

A row of shops stands back to back in the middle, with a ring of shops facing inwards from the outside.

There is a stairwell on each of the left and right sides, and you can go up or down from either side.

The dozens of shops on the second floor could be places where hostages are held or where drug dealers gather.

Unsure of the enemy's location, Team B had no choice but to probe in one direction.

During the investigation, we must be careful. If a drug dealer appears in the corridor, we must be on alert in advance and hide immediately or take him out.

Zhuang Yan, the soldier at the front, walked out along the passage, his position exactly at the corner where the two corridors met.

We need to explore both corridors first and confirm that there is no danger before we can leave.

The Lone Wolf B team, personally trained by Jackie Chan, didn't have the flashy moves of the original A team, with their rolls and knee slides.

Instead, it used the most standard CQB technique, which involves using chamfers to explore unknown areas.

Cut from left to right.

Zhuang Yan had covered more than 90% of the area along the two corridors, and he did discover some things.

His gaze remained fixed ahead, holding the gun in one hand while raising the other above his head, he quickly made hand gestures.

"No target was found on the left, but a target was found in front of the third shop on the right. There are suspected to be other targets inside the shop."

Zhuang Yan made his point very clearly, and Jackie Chan, upon receiving the information, fell into deep thought.

As the commander of the assault team, it is a commander's duty to resolve the situation in the shortest possible time.

The location of the hostage is currently unknown, as is whether there are any other vendors in the shop.

It would be very unwise to engage them in battle rashly.

In situations where the situation is unclear and uncertain, it's best to set aside what can be avoided for now and focus on finding the hostages first.

So Jackie Chan broke away from the group and went to the front to cut corners and observe.

The drug dealer at the shop entrance was sitting on a stool, smoking towards the door. His viewpoint was very flexible, making it impossible to get close.

Shooting him from a distance could kill him, but the fear is that there might be other vendors inside the shop.

So Jackie Chan gave up completely.

I've decided to go to the left first!

However, before walking to the left, Jackie Chan needs to wait for the vendor to go into the shop first, or leave the doorway; at the very least, he needs to turn his back to the vendor before he can go in.

Seeing that the cigarette vendor only had one or two puffs left, Jackie Chan knew what was going on.

Because no matter who smokes, if they smoke outdoors, it means someone inside is preventing them from smoking, so most people have the same habit.

That means that after smoking, you will definitely go back very soon.

"Take the left passage and follow my orders."

Jackie Chan quickly made a series of hand gestures and raised his hand, indicating that Team B should prepare and go out according to his signal.

I waited for about twenty seconds.

After finishing his last puff of cigarette, the peddler threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it, picked up the gun that was by the door, and actually went back into the shop.

"Walk!"

Jackie Chan swung his hand down.

Having made preparations in advance, Lone Wolf Group B, led by Zhuang Yan, immediately filed out of the passage and entered the left corridor.

Jackie Chan kept his eyes fixed on the right side the whole time, to prevent the peddler from showing up again.

After the entire team had left, he followed at the very back.

Zhuang Yan led the team forward steadily, keeping a close eye on every corner of their field of vision. When they passed the first shop, they did not find any suspicious signs.

We passed through the second shop, but found nothing there either.

But when we arrived at the third shop, we could see a shopkeeper trying on clothes in front of a mirror at the end of the clothing rack.

These drug dealers are incredibly arrogant.

Even though they were surrounded by police, they still had the mind to pick out clothes for themselves in the mall, as if they were just relaxing while shopping.

I don't know whether to say these drug dealers are incredibly audacious or that they've become so arrogant that they've lost their minds.

They really thought that with a dozen hostages in their hands, the police would obediently arrange for a helicopter to let them escape abroad.

but.

Regardless of this book peddler's ideology, his fate is now sealed.

Upon spotting the book vendor, Zhuang Yan immediately raised his hand to signal.

Everyone quickly hid.

Before the emergency operation, Jackie Chan gave the order that if someone could be killed by knife, there was no need to use a gun. He decisively lowered his body and, using the clothes rack as cover, sneaked into the shop.

The peddler placed the gun next to the clothes rack while trying on clothes, and did not hold it in his hand.

The risk is not significant.

The key is to absolutely prevent him from making any noise before subduing him.

Zhuang Yan truly lives up to his reputation as the protagonist of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier." He not only has excellent learning ability and outstanding execution skills, but also possesses exceptional adaptability.

He can also flexibly apply the knife-handling techniques he learned in training in actual combat.

Unlike those who seem incredibly skilled at learning and can master everything instantly, but whose performance often turns out to be a complete mess when it comes to actual practice.

As Zhuang Yan reached forward, the others immediately went on alert, each taking on their assigned tasks.

Someone drew a gun and aimed it at the peddler's head, ready to shoot him dead if he made any attempt to speak, in order to prevent the situation from escalating further.

Some guards were stationed at both ends of the passage, ready to kill any enemy that appeared.

With his skillful technique, Zhuang Yan successfully hid behind the clothes rack and got within three meters, then rushed forward in one stride.

A powerful punch landed squarely on the reader's face.

Taking advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper was seeing stars after being hit in the nose, he rushed up and executed a standard backhand neck lock, shoving the shopkeeper into the fitting room.

To avoid the fight causing items to fall over or making noise that would attract the attention of other drug dealers.

This detail is handled quite well.

Zhuang Yan was still too naive and soft-hearted, lacking the ruthlessness of a veteran.

If he had pulled out a dagger and attacked, the shopkeeper would already be a corpse. There would be no need to drag him into the fitting room; he could have just stabbed him to death on the spot.

pity.

Perhaps because he had never killed anyone before, his body instinctively didn't think of killing anyone.

Zhuang Yan's first thought was to release the poison to the captured man and then let him face legal judgment, which is why he used the more strenuous cross lock to try to strangle him unconscious.

However, book vendors are all ruthless and vicious, and may be hiding deadly tricks all over their bodies.

The reader, whose neck was locked by Zhuang Yan, did not try to pry his neck with his hands. Instead, he reached into his waist and pulled out a sharp dagger.

He used a reverse grip, holding the dagger diagonally from below, towards Zhuang Yan's waist.

If that thrust had hit, it would have definitely ruptured a kidney.

Zhuang Yan noticed it in time, his pupils dilated instantly, and the advantage of youthful quick reflexes came into play once again.

With his left hand still wrapped around the thug's neck, he thrust his right hand downwards, grabbing the thug's hand holding the dagger and preventing him from stabbing any further.

The book vendors certainly wouldn't give up easily; driven by a strong will to survive, they were desperately trying to push their way up.

One blocked forcefully, the other stabbed forcefully.

The two sides began to exert their strength!
