Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 342 Chinese Special Forces are the Best (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The swamp in front of us was too dangerous, with thick fog obscuring visibility to less than twenty meters.

Jackie Chan was certain that the crocodile would play tricks along the way, and if the crocodile was looking for a place to ambush, this swamp in front of them was the best ambush point.

Even if the possibility of danger in this swamp is as small as one percent, Jackie Chan would not gamble rashly unless he was in a desperate situation and had no choice but to leave.

Moreover, this swamp is extremely suitable for ambushes, and the possibility of danger is over 60%.

To avoid falling into the crocodile's trap and getting stuck in the pit.

Jackie Chan suggested to the trainees that they avoid the dangerous swamp.

But the other trainees were not willing.

The reason is that this swamp is too large. As can be clearly seen on the military map, if we want to go around this swamp, we will have to walk at least 20 kilometers more.

Walking 200 kilometers in seven days was already the limit; it would take all one's strength to complete it.

Now that another 20 kilometers have been added to the journey, it means it will take almost another day to travel, and we will have to find a way to make up for the lost time.

With only three and a half days left, they would have to walk an extra six kilometers each day on average.

At a speed of 2 kilometers per hour, it would take three more hours.

This means that they would have to march for eighteen hours a day. After deducting the time spent searching for food, they would have less than three hours of rest time each day.

This level of difficulty is for the other trainees...

It's not just about whether it's extremely difficult or not; it's that they all feel it's simply impossible to do.

From World War II to the present, Western armies have never had the mindset of fighting to the death or risking their lives. If their personnel losses exceed 30%, they can surrender and be considered to have lost their combat capability.

The Korean War, also known as the "Chicken Beak" war, provided a good example for Western armies.

The only things that could motivate soldiers in Western countries to fight to the death against their enemies without surrendering are probably terrorist organizations or armed groups.

Because these kinds of enemies don't care about international conventions, and they don't treat prisoners of war well at all.

If you get caught, you're going to die anyway.

They might even die a very painful death.

That's why we have rare Western heroes who fight to the death and never surrender, even when they're fighting to the last man.

Under the influence of this widespread ideology, most of the trainees, who were from Europe and America, did not want to run an extra 20 kilometers for something that might be dangerous.

In addition, he was very confident in his own abilities and believed that he could handle any danger he might encounter.

Therefore, they all prefer to cross the swamp directly and take the normal route to their destination.

Jackie Chan knew that this was a clash of ideas created by different environments in different countries, with different ways of thinking leading to different decisions.

It does not involve personal ability, and has absolutely nothing to do with personality or character.

Although Jackie Chan was the captain of the training team, he did not have the authority to force them to follow him; he could only offer constructive suggestions.

The other trainees were unwilling to put in the hard work of running 20 kilometers just to support Jackie Chan's speculation, but Xu Sanduo chose to listen to Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan didn't force them.

Since we have different paths, let's not work together and just go our separate ways.

"Let's go, Sanduo. Since they're going to their deaths, let them go. We'll go this way and watch their show."

Jackie Chan called out to Xu Sanduo and walked to the right along the edge of the swamp.

He then parted ways with other European and American colleges, taking Xu Sanduo with him and going around them.

The group of European and American students watched the two leave, and they did not feel that they had made the wrong choice.

Instead, they thought the two Chinese special forces soldiers were weirdos. They could have just gone through directly, but instead they deliberately made things difficult for themselves by taking an extra 20 kilometers.

The assessment is a collective effort; there's no rule against separating individuals, so no one can really say anything.

Then let's each do our own thing.

"Let's go, guys. May God protect them from elimination. Let's break out of the swamp in one go, complete the test, and earn the Warrior's Medal."

As Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo left, the first trainee called on everyone to start walking into the swamp, and he set an example by walking at the front.

Say something.

Aside from being a bit talkative and having an overly competitive personality, Trainee Number One is indeed very capable, and his overall abilities are not much inferior to Xu Sanduo's.

The swamp was knee-deep in water, and the fog made visibility very poor.

The students, including the first one, walked very cautiously, mostly sticking together so that they could help each other immediately if anything unexpected happened.

However, the crocodiles and man-eating pits that were expected, common dangers in swampy areas, did not appear.

However, other, more dangerous accidents occurred.

Just as the trainees had walked down into the swamp and were only about ten meters from the shore, danger suddenly struck.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of explosions rang out.

The water on both sides of the trainees was blasted into the air, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

Upon discovering they were ambushed by an unknown enemy, and with gunfire erupting from directly ahead, the trainees instinctively fled backward in disarray.

You've already fallen into the enemy's trap; there's no way you'll escape so easily.

The trainees had just turned around and started to run a few steps when they discovered that the explosion was not only accompanied by splashing water, but also by a large amount of methane gas.

In less than ten seconds, white gas had covered all the trainees.

The shore was also covered with gas bombs, so even if they got to the shore first, it was no use, as they were still suffocated by the gas.

The trainees had all experienced the gas reveille and had developed a certain resistance to gas.

But you can't stay in the gas all the time.

Seeing gas everywhere, the trainees began to take off their backpacks and put on gas masks before suffocating.

However, before they could even begin their operation, they were met with a second wave of enemy attacks.

A group of burly men wearing gas masks suddenly rushed out of the woods on both sides and launched an indiscriminate attack on the trainees.

Taking advantage of their numbers, they can fight two against one, or even three against one.

While the trainees were being ravaged by the gas, it was as if they had been given a weakened status buff, preventing them from exerting their individual strength.

When faced with being ganged up on by two or even three enemies, they have absolutely no chance to fight back.

Soon, one by one, their hands were tied, making them unable to move, and then black bags were put over their heads, turning them into meat on a chopping board.

At this point, all the trainees began to regret not listening to Jackie Chan's advice to go around from the side.

This has led to his capture and his current dangerous situation.

It was too late for regrets now; they had already been tied up like dumplings by the enemy who suddenly appeared, and their lives were in someone else's hands.

Life and death depend entirely on the enemy's mood!

And even though it seemed hopeless to them, they still clung to the hope that Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo, who hadn't been captured, would come to their rescue.

In fact, Jackie Chan and his companion did come, but they didn't go up to rescue the person.

When the explosion occurred, Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo quickly ran back from the right, just in time to encounter a large group of enemies jumping out to attack.

Xu Sanduo was very anxious when he saw this scene and immediately wanted to rush over to help, but Jackie Chan grabbed him.

"Are you going to your death?"

Jackie Chan scolded Xu Sanduo in a low voice, analyzing, "These people didn't use guns, they all used close-quarters capture, and the traps were placed so precisely, right on the marching route."

If not 100%, then at least 99% of the time it's the instructors from the hunter school in disguise.

They should be taken to SERE training, which is the Navy SEALs' signature special training. The Hunter School is a school of Navy SEALs, so it would be normal for them to have this course.

Anyway, they won't really be in any danger. At most, they'll just suffer a bit in training camp. Let's just watch and see what happens, and wait for a better opportunity. There's no need to rush now.

Jackie Chan doesn't know much about the Hunter School, but he knows a lot about the Navy SEALs.

I've guessed it pretty accurately!

"SERE training? Boss, isn't this the anti-capture training you taught us? This thing is going to be tough, these guys are in for a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing that it was school training, Xu Sanduo's initial worries vanished, and he grinned.

The laughter carried a hint of schadenfreude.

As Jackie Chan's most loyal and wealthy henchman, Xu Sanduo was actually unhappy that these Western trainees ignored Jackie Chan's advice and insisted on following the old path.

Seeing these people get their comeuppance now makes me incredibly happy.

"Serves them right for being so arrogant. It's good for them to suffer a bit now. The two of us will sneak up on them and find an opportunity to rescue them. If we can get them out, the title of best student will definitely belong to both of us."

As Jackie Chan spoke, he grew increasingly excited, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

"Okay, I'll do as the boss says, hehe."

The thought of standing out among more than a dozen countries, proving that Chinese special forces are the best, made Xu Sanduo's face flush with excitement.

Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo, who are somewhat cunning, remained hidden in the shadows and did not make a move throughout the entire process.

They watched as the Hunter Academy, disguised as enemies, bound about twenty European and American students together like dumplings, strung them together with rope, and took them away.

Jackie Chan is very experienced in jungle tracking and is not in a hurry to catch up.

To avoid any loopholes, the Hunter School had left people lying in wait near the traps. If you showed up too early to follow them, you would easily get caught.

I waited for about ten minutes.

Once it was confirmed that there was no further activity at the ambush site, the backpacks and guns that had been abandoned there were all cleared out and taken back by the teaching assistants.

Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo then officially set off, following the tracks on the ground all the way.

There were many traces of the path left by dozens of people, and Jackie Chan easily found the route and followed it for nearly an hour.

As the view suddenly opened up, a long, narrow lake appeared before us.

Jackie Chan finally found his destination.

It was a lakeside base not only on the riverbank, but entirely made of various kinds of wood, with two wooden bridges leading directly into the river.

There are many water dungeons on both sides of the wooden bridge, where the students from Academy One and others are imprisoned.
