Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 293 Staff Officer Xia's Expectations (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Despite the ostrich's attempts to ingratiate itself, Staff Officer Xia became embarrassed when Jackie Chan stared at him, and her two beautiful apple-red breasts lifted up.

She flicked her hair to cover her embarrassment and said, "I'm here just like you, on a mission."

Staff Officer Xia spoke somewhat vaguely, clearly trying to hide something, as there were some things that were inconvenient to explain clearly, especially to everyone.

Jackie Chan understood Staff Officer Xia's concerns and made an excuse, saying, "I'm in charge, and we are indeed here on a mission. I need to find the village chief. Can you take me there?"

"sure."

Staff Officer Xia replied graciously, extending his hand and saying, "This way, I'll take you there."

"good!"

Jackie Chan nodded and instructed, "Timberwolves, you stay here with them and build rapport with the villagers. I'll go find out what's going on."

"yes!"

Geng Jihui answered simply.

"Let's go then."

Jackie Chan walked to Xia's side and walked alongside him. The two of them walked towards the back of the village one after the other, in order to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

Jackie Chan casually asked, "Judging from your clothes, you must have been here for quite a while, right?"

"I arrived more than ten days ago."

Staff Officer Xia led the way, tilting his head slightly to look up at Jackie Chan and asking, "If I'm not mistaken, you're also on Operation Jungle Wolf, right?"

"Yes, we need to scout along the way, and this is the first key area. You've been here for so many days, how's your understanding?" Jackie Chan asked.

"It's alright, I understand the basics."

Staff Officer Xia pointed to the distant mountains and forests and said, "More than ten kilometers away from here is the 239th monument, and two kilometers away from the village is the only way to get into the scene."

This secret corridor used by the mule caravans selling books has existed for over a decade.

"Since it has existed for so many years, and it is known that this is a book-selling corridor, why hasn't it been dealt with in all these years?" Jackie Chan asked curiously.

"The main problem is that the geographical location is too unique, making it impossible to target it specifically."

Staff Officer Xia said helplessly, "Langde is more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest county town and more than 70 kilometers away from the nearest road."

The surrounding area is a complex primeval forest, inaccessible by motor vehicles; pack animals are the only way in.

I was assigned to this place to investigate the activity patterns of armed groups involved in trafficking in books in the Lande Corridor, in preparation for Operation Jungle Wolf.

Judging from the scale of Operation Jungle Wolf, Staff Officer Xia was not the only one sent to investigate the village.

It is very likely that personnel were dispatched to investigate all the key villages along the border, leaving no room for peddlers.

"So what have you gained? You've been here for half a month now," Jackie Chan asked.

"There had been no movement until the night before last when we discovered something. The old hunters in the village led me to ambush a group of opium traffickers and we seized over a hundred kilograms of opium, which is still being burned."

As Staff Officer Xia spoke, a hint of pride shone on her face, as if she were waiting for Jackie Chan to praise her.

Being able to lead a group of armed mountain people, who were not professional soldiers or anti-drug special police, to successfully take down a drug trafficking gang.

If we disregard the subsequent series of consequences, it is indeed an amazing thing.

But if we consider the future impact...

That's completely the opposite!

"Your results are indeed very good, but what you did was really ill-considered. You shouldn't have organized them to ambush us," Jackie Chan said, frowning.

Why do you say that?

Staff Officer Xia was criticized instead of praised, which annoyed her.

"If the police and military were the ones ambushing the book vendors, the forces behind them would have no recourse and there wouldn't be any further consequences. But you're leading a group of mountain people, so the situation is completely different."

Jackie Chan stared at Staff Officer Xia and said seriously, "The peddlers can accept being wiped out by the army because they know very well that they cannot fight back."

However, they could not accept being attacked by the people of Bianjing Mountain, as it made them feel very ashamed.

At the same time, I am even more worried that other villages along the border will follow Langde Village's example, and then the whole village will turn against them, and all the passages will be blocked.

Therefore, the book sellers will definitely find a way to retaliate, and they will retaliate severely.

They might even use the massacre of entire villages as a form of retaliatory punishment, deterring other villages from following suit and ensuring the continued smooth operation of the Yundu Corridor.

Jackie Chan spoke in a very stern tone, not in a way that was meant to scare people.

"Probably not."

Staff Officer Xia hadn't thought that much about it before, and said with a mixture of surprise and worry, "If they want to target Langde Village, they'll need at least one or two hundred armed smugglers."

"For so many peddlers to cross the border by more than ten kilometers is inherently a very risky undertaking. Do they really dare to do this? Aren't they afraid of being caught in a coordinated attack?"

"Book peddlers are vicious and ruthless people. What crazy things wouldn't they do?" Jackie Chan retorted.

"I……"

Staff Officer Xia was speechless.

Thinking of the dangers that Langde Village was about to face, Staff Officer Xia finally panicked and said nervously, "The people here have been tormented by peddlers for generations. It often happens that when people go out, they encounter peddlers and are brutally murdered by them."

I just wanted to help them. The hunters were also very brave in battle, and they finally vented the anger that had been building up inside them for generations.

If it's really as you say, then the consequences of this matter will be very serious.

We cannot stand by and watch Lande be harmed by book vendors; we must find a way to help them.

As expected of a staff officer from the W Police Force, Staff Officer Xia maintained a good overall mindset and remained relatively calm even in the face of such a significant situation.

"It's impossible for the troops to go into the mountains to protect them right now. The large-scale encirclement and suppression operation hasn't even started yet, so requesting reinforcements is definitely not feasible."

After a moment's deliberation, Jackie Chan said resolutely, "There's only one way now: we have to move them to the county town to avoid trouble before the peddlers arrive, so they can't come back before the large-scale crackdown."

"This may be difficult to do. They have lived in these mountains for generations, sharing the same breath and destiny with these mountains. They will never leave their hometown. If the troops cannot go up the mountain, they will not come down the mountain either."

After finishing his sentence, Staff Officer Xia looked at Jackie Chan with hopeful anticipation and said, "It's good that you're here now. With you here, the smugglers won't be able to cause any trouble. Stay here and protect them with me."

It's obvious.

Staff Officer Xia had unwavering trust in Jackie Chan, believing that nothing could stump him.

"We have other tasks. Lande Village is just one stop on this trip. Staying here to protect them is not a long-term solution."

Jackie Chan looked troubled, but he couldn't bear to see Staff Officer Xia disappointed.

After hesitating for a moment.

Jackie Chan compromised, saying, "How about this, we'll talk to the village chief first to find out their attitude, then I'll practice communicating with the Wolf Den to finalize the decision. What do you think?"

"Okay, come with me."

Jackie Chan did not refuse on the spot, which made Staff Officer Xia very satisfied and happy. He quickened his pace and led Jackie Chan toward the village chief's location.

While Jackie Chan and Staff Officer Xia went to find the village chief, the Lone Wolf B Team, who remained in the village, also started working in their own unique ways.

Zhuang Yan took out a bag of chocolates and tried to integrate himself into the community by teasing a village child named Da Bao.

Qiang Xiaowei, Zheng Sanpao, and Geng Jihui were also busy, communicating with the villagers in their own ways.

Ostrich, who had always been curious about how opium came to be, called on the "opium expert" medic to join him, and they searched along the way by sniffing around.

The two of them actually spotted it from afar, piled up in a sheltered spot, with thick black smoke billowing from the burning opium.

Jackie Chan followed Staff Officer Xia through the village, then through a small grove of trees, and came to a sheltered spot where they saw a group of villagers gathered.

Three corpses were covered with cloth on the ground. An old man in hemp clothing stood in front of the corpses, holding a porcelain bowl and chanting incantations.

"The one reading the eulogy is the village chief, and the one lying on the ground is the hunter who sacrificed his life the night before last," Staff Officer Xia said solemnly.

Jackie Chan was also filled with respect and took off his hat to salute.

Anyone who dares to fight against book peddlers, regardless of their background, is a hero of the people and deserves everyone's respect.

Jackie Chan and Staff Officer Xia did not go over to disturb them, but waited quietly on the side.

Only after the village chief had dealt with everything did Staff Officer Xia introduce Jackie Chan to the village chief, and they talked all the way back to the village chief's house.

The village chief doesn't speak Mandarin, and Jackie Chan can't understand what he's saying, so he has to rely on Staff Officer Xia to translate.

After nearly an hour of conversation, Jackie Chan confirmed the village chief's attitude: he would never leave his home and was determined to defend it to the death.

We cannot stand idly by and watch Langde be wiped out; the People's Liberation Army exists to protect the people.

The village chief was unwilling for the entire village to move away from their ancestral home.

Jackie Chan had no choice but to take the second path.

That means we should first discuss with everyone in Group B, confirm their thoughts and opinions, and then decide how to resolve the crisis in Langde Village.

Zhuang Yan, Geng Jihui, and the others, as special forces soldiers, unexpectedly have quite a childlike heart.

When Jackie Chan and Staff Officer Xia returned, they were already playing with the village children, laughing and running all over the village.

"Group B, assemble."

Jackie Chan's shout abruptly interrupted the lively atmosphere between the military and civilians.

Seeing Jackie Chan's serious expression, Zhuang Yan, Geng Jihui, and the others realized that something bad must have happened, and they rushed over without even bothering to comfort the child.

"An accident has occurred, and it's quite serious. We need to have a meeting immediately. Everyone, grab your gear and follow me."

"Prairie Wolf, prepare the radio immediately, I need to contact the wolf den."

Jackie Chan issued two orders in quick succession, then said to Staff Officer Xia who had followed him, "Let's go discuss it. It should take at most twenty minutes."

"OK."

Staff Officer Xia nodded, then added, "On behalf of the villagers of Langde Village, I hope you can stay. This place really needs you."

"I will try my best."

After Jackie Chan finished speaking, he turned around and led the group toward an open space at the other end of the village.
