Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 349 I won another award! My chest is practically overflowing with them! (Seeking monthly votes)

Jackie Chan knew that if Black Lion got away, the guy was holding a bomb detonator, and if he pressed it, he and the other team members would all be doomed.

Black Lion also knew that if Jackie Chan caught him, he would lose his life.

Both sides had clear objectives and knew exactly what they wanted. Black Lion threatened to use bombs, but Jackie Chan told him to put down the bombs and surrender, and the situation became deadlocked for a while.

At this crucial moment.

"Beep beep beep beep..."

The deafening roar of helicopter rotors suddenly filled the sky above the cargo ship.

When Black Lion heard the helicopter flying overhead, he instinctively turned his head for a second to see where it was.

That one second of distraction was precisely seized upon by Jackie Chan.

"Bang!"

A shot rang out.

Jackie Chan shot Black Lion in the hand, shattering his hand along with the remote control, thus eliminating the most deadly threat to him.

He then fired another shot immediately afterward.

The black lion, who had just let out a scream of pain, was shot in the head, ending his sinful life.

The helicopters are the support force of the Hunter School. According to the plan, if Jackie Chan's rescue team successfully rescues the hostages after the time is up, they will come to assist the rescue team in clearing out the vendors.

It has arrived at the perfect time and has had an unexpected and remarkable effect.

With Black Lion's death, the armed peddler group became a disorganized rabble without any leadership, and was no match for Jackie Chan and his crew.

In the ensuing battles, they suffered a complete rout and were utterly powerless to fight back.

The book vendors weren't fools, nor were they fearless warriors. Given a chance to escape, none of them were willing to fight to the death.

Seeing that their situation was dire, the book vendors all chose to jump into the water to escape.

The cargo ship was docked at the pier, and anyone could jump out and into the water. No matter how much Jackie Chan and the others tried to stop them, they couldn't do anything about this group of book vendors.

The only option is to kill as many people as possible before the vendors are submerged.

As for those who escaped, we couldn't care less.

There are countless book traffickers in Latin America. Killing a few more, or even hundreds more, won't change anything.

As long as the source—the Black Lion—is eliminated, Lina, who has been kidnapped, can be rescued.

This mission can be described as perfect.

Having completed these two tasks, Jackie Chan and his team are undoubtedly heroes of the Hunter School.

When Jackie Chan led his team back to the school, they were personally greeted by General Ross, who gave them the highest honors and saluted everyone for three seconds.

As a father, I can't even salute.

He would be perfectly fine with Jackie Chan kneeling down and kowtowing to the savior who saved his daughter's life; Jackie Chan could accept it.

As dawn breaks and a new day arrives, the grand and prestigious graduation ceremony finally begins.

The remaining 10 trainees stood in a row, and even the injured trainees with bandages stood as straight as pine trees.

Standing in the center, the towering Jackie Chan was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence among all the trainees.

The most prestigious stands on the sidelines were made up of embassy staff from various countries, as well as Venezuelan military and government personnel.

The honor guard, dressed in neat and brand-new uniforms, stood in orderly formation on the platform.

General Ross, the principal, stood on the stage, wearing his most prized general's uniform, and faced the students in his most spirited state.

He said in a firm and powerful voice, "Children, congratulations on becoming qualified students of the Hunter Academy. You will fight to protect the peace and happiness of humankind."

I am proud to announce that your national flag will remain in school and continue to fly.

"Salute!"

At a command.

Jackie Chan and ten other trainees turned around together, stood tall with their chests out and stomachs in, looking at the national flag. They raised their hands in salute in unison, their eyes filled with determination and honor.

Three seconds later.

"The ceremony is complete."

All students accepted the gifts and then turned around again.

"As is customary..."

General Ross smiled broadly and looked at Jackie Chan, saying, "Our school is awarding the Warrior Medal to its most outstanding cadet, and the recipient of this honor is—"

General Ross deliberately drew out the last syllable, pointed at Jackie Chan with his right hand, and said, "Jackie Chan is an outstanding soldier from China, who combines courage and wisdom, has broken cadet records many times, and has won many first places."

"Cluck cluck cluck..."

A thunderous applause erupted, lasting and resounding for a long time.

The other nine trainees, including Xu Sanduo, were all convinced and smiled as they applauded Jackie Chan to congratulate him on winning the award.

Jackie Chan was incredibly proud to have won the title of best student.

He brought glory to the country, and he succeeded.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't excited. At this momentous occasion of bringing honor to the country, Jackie Chan really wanted to shout, but he could only hold back.

Suppress your inner elation and your heartfelt pride.

Because he is not representing himself now, but the image of Chinese soldiers.

The applause continued unabated as the head instructor, Crocodile, led a guard of honor carrying a tray from the sidelines to Jackie Chan.

shuh~

The two sides saluted each other face to face.

The crocodile picked up a medal from the tray and said with great pleasure, "Congratulations, Number Six, you have won honor and respect for your country."

When the Chinese cadets arrive again, I assure you they will have proper uniforms and boots.

After saying that, the crocodile pinned the gleaming Warrior Medal to Jackie Chan's left chest, where it shone brightly in the sunlight.

The applause continued, all for Jackie Chan, the recipient of the Warrior Medal and the most outstanding student.

It lasted for a full minute!

During the event, Lina, a flower of the Hunter Academy, personally came up to present flowers to Jackie Chan to express her gratitude for his award.

And in front of hundreds of people, she stood on tiptoe and gave Jackie Chan a kiss.

Jackie Chan blushed, while Lina's eyes were full of spring.

The applause from the entire audience reached its peak because of this kiss.

Even his little brother Xu Sanduo joined in the fun, grinning and showing off his big teeth, clapping his hands and laughing like a big fool.

Students from other countries were also applauding, their eyes filled with undisguised envy.

After the climax brought on by Jackie Chan, the wave of applause gradually subsided, and the graduation ceremony entered its normal phase.

As General Ross delivered his impassioned speech, ten honor guards came up on stage, each carrying a tray with a medal—

Hunter's Medal!

This is a personal honor medal that can only be awarded to students who have completed all the challenges and persevered to graduate successfully.

This means you are now a qualified hunter and one of the best graduates of the Hunter Academy.

Once each trainee had received their hunter's badge, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, congratulating the ten trainees on reaching a new height in their lives.

Looking at the gleaming gold medal hanging on his chest, Xu Sanduo grinned, revealing his big front teeth, making him look even sillier.

After the graduation ceremony, the curtain fell.

Special forces soldiers from various countries who successfully graduated traveled smoothly and without any problems, thanks to the arrangements made by their respective embassy staff, and returned to their long-lost homeland.

"China, I, Hu Hansan, have returned."

Jackie Chan led Xu Sanduo out of the airport and stepped onto the land of his motherland once again. Unable to contain his excitement, he couldn't help but shout out loud.

"I'm back too."

Xu Sanduo followed suit and let out a howl.

Fortunately, both of them were in civilian clothes; otherwise, if they had stood outside the airport shouting in the street, passersby would have thought they were two lunatics, which would have affected the image of soldiers.

After venting their excitement, the two then took a taxi to the Capital Military Region.

Although civilian vehicles cannot enter the military area or linger at the gate, there is absolutely no problem with dropping off passengers outside.

After Jackie Chan and his companion completed their mission to bring glory to the country, they needed to report to the military region before returning to their unit.

Both successfully completed international counter-terrorism training and graduated as outstanding trainees, with Jackie Chan taking the top spot and receiving the most prestigious Warrior Medal.

The military region already knew about this news, and it had spread like wildfire throughout the entire army.

Military newspapers at all levels have regarded Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo as role models and exemplars of modern, internationalized soldiers, and have vigorously promoted them to all levels of the armed forces.

The main purpose is to encourage soldiers to study hard and strive for excellence, so that they can bring glory to the country like Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo.

of course.

The identities, names, and backgrounds of the two individuals were obscured; they were simply described as two soldiers from a certain special forces unit who represented the country in counter-terrorism training in Venezuela and received certain honors.

The added mystery surrounding the matter further amplified its influence.

Therefore, when Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo reported to the military region, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire military region, and even the commander surnamed Gao was alarmed.

He not only personally received the two of them, but also hosted a banquet for them at the government office.

Looking at the room filled with dazzling starlight, Xu Sanduo, needless to say, had never seen such a sight before and was too frightened to speak.

Don't blame Xu Sanduo for being such a coward; even Jackie Chan couldn't handle him.

Being warmly received by so many big shots, with each one coming up to toast you and offering a bunch of compliments, must have been incredibly stressful.

Young and promising, with unlimited potential; if you remain humble and composed, you can achieve great things…

Jackie Chan listened to these pleasant but heavy words, feeling both happy and genuinely flattered.

but.

Even though he felt that everything in front of him was too surreal, like a dream and unbelievable, Cheng maintained a good attitude and remained organized throughout the entire process.

Jackie Chan's positive attitude has also made the leaders think more highly of him.

The ability is there, and so is the right mindset.

As long as nothing major goes wrong, even minor accidents won't matter. Everyone here believes that Jackie Chan's future achievements will not be lower than theirs.

Some officers couldn't help but think that Jackie Chan might become their colleague in just a few years.

Although they are still several levels apart, Jackie Chan is much younger than them.

He'll be a lieutenant colonel before he even turns 25.

That speed is truly astonishing!

As for why this group of people believed that Jackie Chan would soon be promoted to lieutenant colonel after only a year of promotion to major, it was because they knew some inside information.

It is perfectly normal for anyone to be promoted or given a higher rank if they bring honor to their country or military on the international stage.

Not to mention leveling up one level, some people have even leveled up several levels.

(Military rank and position are separate; a promotion of one rank in each is equivalent to a promotion of two ranks.)

Jackie Chan represented the country in international training for the first time, and not only did he successfully complete all the courses and graduate, but he was also the most outstanding student.

It's certain that he'll be promoted from a major (deputy battalion-level operations staff officer) to a major (battalion-level operations staff officer).

It's quite possible that he could be promoted to lieutenant colonel or battalion commander.

but.

No one knows exactly when it will come down.

This kind of rocket-like leapfrog promotion is completely different from ordinary promotion. It not only requires approval from the political department of the military region, but also the intervention of the General Staff.

Jackie Chan hasn't reached that level yet, so he doesn't have access to these kinds of promotion-related information.

I had no idea about these inside stories!

He only knew two things: that he and Xu Sanduo had both received a first-class merit award, which was personally presented by the minister at the military region's commendation ceremony.

Jackie Chan also received an additional honorary title—

"Model Soldier Who Loves the Army and Is Skilled in Military Affairs!"

This is Jackie Chan's second time receiving a first-class merit award and his third time receiving an honorary title. He has received so many medals that his left chest is almost covered with them.

In his early twenties, he could have his chest covered with all sorts of medals and awards.

This is no longer about strength.

This is definitely a science fiction movie.

If they hadn't witnessed Jackie Chan's growth firsthand, the military leaders would have even suspected that the medals Jackie Chan wore might be fake.

This is absolutely outrageous!

The second matter has nothing to do with Jackie Chan, but rather with Xu Sanduo, Cheng Cai, and Wu Liuyi, who are still sergeants to this day.

The military region's approval for their promotion has been granted, and the three of them can now go to the Army Command Academy for further studies.

And because of this.

In the end, only Jackie Chan returned to Team A, and the military region personally sent a car to take him there.

After all, he is a great hero who has won glory for the country. It is only normal to send a military vehicle to escort him back to his unit. Even adding an honor guard would not be excessive.

Xu Sanduo stayed at the military region's guesthouse, waiting for Wu Liuyi and Cheng Cai to come up so they could go to the school together to report for duty.

When Jackie Chan departed from the military region, the military region notified the brigade of the news of Jackie Chan's return to the unit and specifically instructed the brigade to make preparations for his welcome.

This meant that when Jackie Chan's car arrived at Team A, the entire team had already assembled on the parade ground.

With a grin that almost stretched to his ears, Tie Lu, along with Yuan Lang and a group of officers from the entire brigade, gathered everyone in the brigade to give a grand welcome to Jackie Chan.

What Jackie Chan received appears to be a personal honor, but because Jackie Chan is assigned to Team A, this honor is essentially equivalent to that of Team A.

The special forces soldiers who went out of the brigade won the highest honor in the international special forces counter-terrorism training and became the strongest among the special forces.

That proves that Team A is not only the strongest in China, but it wouldn't be wrong to call them the strongest in the world.

As the team leader, how could the railway not be excited?

Leading the entire brigade to welcome the guests was just the beginning; what followed was an unprecedentedly grand banquet, which everyone in the brigade was required to attend.

There's only one standard for banquets—

Plenty of wine and food to go, let's celebrate this wonderful day.
