Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 366 Is it human or monster? (Seeking monthly votes)

When the female soldiers heard that they had to swim across the river in an armed manner, their faces fell like mudslides.

A real-life demonstration of what it means to be on the verge of tears!

Some wanted to resist Jackie Chan's endless abuse or find an excuse to escape this armed swimming competition, but when they thought of what Wu Zhe had just said, even female soldiers who couldn't swim would be forcibly dragged into the water and nearly drowned before being eliminated.

The female soldiers, whose courage had already been shrunk by Jackie Chan, shrank even further with fear.

I have come to a profound realization...

They were already like meat on a chopping board, with no room for resistance whatsoever. They would have to cross the river even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, let alone swimming across it with armed arms.

Just as most of the female soldiers had resigned themselves to their fate and were slowly making their way to the riverbank.

During their afternoon run, Ouyang Qian, who had learned of Long Xiaoyun's identity as an instructor through conversation, ran up to Long Xiaoyun with Tian Guo.

"Instructor, Tian Guo and I... we're both not feeling well. The river water must be very cold tonight. Can we not go into the water?"

Ouyang Qian applied with trepidation.

Although she knew that Long Xiaoyun was very kind-hearted and had spent the whole afternoon helping the female soldiers, Ouyang Qian was unsure whether Long Xiaoyun would actually help her since it was their first meeting and she didn't know his background.

"You've been running all afternoon, and everyone's feeling unwell. Just hang in there a little longer, and you can rest today once you cross the river."

Long Xiaoyun thought Ouyang Qian was just tired from running, and as usual, she comforted and encouraged her.

No, that's not it.

Tian Guo got anxious and quickly explained, "We're both on our periods, so we can't get cold or go into the water, otherwise it will be very harmful to our health."

"Huh? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

When Long Xiaoyun heard that her period had started, her expression turned serious.

He comforted the two, saying, "You two wait here. I'll go find the captain and explain the situation to you. Don't worry, your situation is special and requires special handling. He definitely won't let you go into the water."

Whether at the grassroots level, in government agencies, or in academia.

Female soldiers are allowed to suspend training and rest during their menstrual period, or they can avoid strenuous training and instead be assigned to chores such as cleaning.

Long Xiaoyun believes that Jackie Chan would make an exception, which is entirely logical.

"Thank you, instructor."

"Great! Long live the instructor!"

Ouyang Qian and Tian Guo trusted Long Xiaoyun completely, and were so excited they almost danced on the spot.

In their minds, the instructor and the captain were equals, and with the instructor speaking on their behalf, things would definitely be resolved.

They were able to escape this predicament without facing the risk of being eliminated.

How could Ouyang Qian and Tian Guo not be excited!

Long Xiaoyun stepped out from the female soldiers' ranks, walked to Jackie Chan's side, and whispered, "Captain, two of the female soldiers are not feeling well and cannot go into the water. How about we skip the armed swimming for them?"

In this era that had just passed the millennium, the overall atmosphere was not yet so "open".

Menstruation is a very private matter for women, and Long Xiaoyun was still a little embarrassed to talk to Jackie Chan, a grown man, about it.

I didn't understand the first half of Jackie Chan's sentence, but I finally understood the second half.

"Not feeling well, can't go in the water? Are you women on your period?" Jackie Chan asked, frowning.

"Yes, they've been training consistently. They've been running all afternoon and their performance has been excellent. Let's make an exception for them tonight."

Jackie Chan referred to menstruation as "that thing," which made Long Xiaoyun uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything and patiently continued to discuss it.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

"Women are such a hassle."

Jackie Chan deliberately made sarcastic remarks, which almost broke Long Xiaoyun's already good temper, and her expression immediately turned very serious.

"Instructor Long, I don't want to waste time talking to you. I just want to ask you one question. If you can answer it, I'll let you take them away. How about it?"

Jackie Chan's words were so abrupt that Long Xiaoyun was stunned for quite a while.

"Alright, go ahead and say it," Long Xiaoyun said seriously.

"You're not a special forces soldier, you don't understand combat, and I can understand your ignorance, but I hope that after this is over, you can shut your mouth."

Jackie Chan first warned Long Xiaoyun, but Long Xiaoyun's face turned ashen.

He then explained calmly, "The very words 'special operations' already indicate that their main combat area is either behind enemy lines or in high-risk zones."

Let's assume, for the moment, that these female soldiers are on the battlefield, not on the training field, and are being pursued by the enemy.

They had been running all afternoon and finally managed to shake off the enemy.

If they can cross this river, they will be able to complete their mission successfully, escape safely, and return to headquarters with important intelligence.

At this time, the female soldiers get their periods. Do you stay and wait to die, or swim across to escape?

Jackie Chan's hypothetical question left Long Xiaoyun speechless. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a sound, unsure of how to answer.

Because this problem seems to offer a choice, but in reality, there is no choice at all.

Anyone with a sound mind would undoubtedly swim to safety without hesitation. For soldiers, completing their mission is paramount; there is no choice involved.

Long Xiaoyun is an excellent female commander; she knows very well what the correct answer is.

They remained locked in a standoff for a good ten seconds.

Seeing that everyone was starting to pay attention to this side, including the instructors and female soldiers, the training was forced to stop, as continuing would have a very bad impact.

Finally, Long Xiaoyun couldn't hold back any longer and had to bite the bullet and say, "Training is training, and real combat is real combat. If we ruin our bodies during training, how will we be able to complete missions in the future?"

This reason seems plausible, but it is actually riddled with flaws and cannot withstand any scrutiny.

"If someone fails during training, they're eliminated and sent back to their original unit to be a princess and enjoy their comfort. The Phoenix cannot tolerate useless people."

There may not be many other things in the army, but there are a lot of people. It's not that the army can't function without the two of them, but if the mission fails, there will be no chance to make up for it.

Fire Phoenix needs female special forces soldiers, not pampered women.

Jackie Chan showed absolutely no mercy, delivering a barrage of attacks with a cold expression.

Ouyang Qian and Tian Guo, who were waiting for an answer in the distance, were initially full of anticipation, but their hearts sank after hearing Cheng Long's words.

At the same time, Jackie Chan's choice to have a woman who is both useless and spoiled also aroused the competitive spirit of the two women.

Originally, both of them had lost all hope for Fire Phoenix because of Jackie Chan's series of torments, but now they suddenly had a goal in mind—

Even if it means death, I have to persevere. I can't let that jerk Jackie Chan look down on me.

Long Xiaoyun herself is a person who understands the bigger picture and has a clear understanding of right and wrong. She came over to plead for her mainly out of a woman's compassion.

Realizing that Jackie Chan's explanation wouldn't work, they knew this was a difficulty the female soldiers had to overcome.

The battlefield doesn't care about menstruation; there are no special privileges.

Long Xiaoyun finally stopped arguing.

It's better for female soldiers to sweat and shed tears on the training ground than for them to bleed on the battlefield later.

Being eliminated from the special training camp due to insufficient ability can still lead to a good life back in the company. However, being eliminated on the battlefield means you won't even have a chance to survive.

Having successfully subdued Long Xiaoyun, Jackie Chan, in order to make an example of her and completely resolve the issue, specifically took Wu Zhe's electronic megaphone.

He shouted to the female soldiers, "Some people want to treat me specially. I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible."

Here, let alone when you're on your period, even if you have a hole in your stomach and blood is flowing like a fountain, as long as you still have the strength to move, you'll have to get through it.

I'm giving you one last minute. If anyone hasn't gotten into the water by then, don't blame me for being cold-blooded.

Jackie Chan thought that after his words, the female soldiers would obediently go to the riverbank and go into the water, but he didn't expect that there would be brave ones who would step forward.

"Report: Women have special menstrual cycles. If they go into the river during this time, they will definitely develop an illness that they will never recover from."

The speaker was He Lu, a female captain and the first military doctor whom Jackie Chan had his eye on.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Upon seeing the female soldiers' bravery, Jackie Chan's serious expression melted away instantly, replaced by a broad smile as he applauded them and asked kindly, "Well said, very reasonable. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

"What's going on?"

The female soldiers were all bewildered by Jackie Chan, and Long Xiaoyun, who was standing next to him, was also confused.

He Lu was completely bewildered, unable to understand what Jackie Chan was up to, and could only bite the bullet and say, "I am a woman, and also a military doctor, so I understand this situation better than you do."

"Good, good, well said. You are truly an excellent military doctor."

As Jackie Chan spoke, he walked up to He Lu and, being a head taller than her, looked down at her and said, "Your file shows that you have participated in actual combat peacekeeping operations. Does that mean that all your combat experience involved reasoning with the enemy? Did you ask the enemy to spare you and not kill you just because you had your period?"

"Since you understand women so well, then answer me loudly: what happens to you female soldiers if you're captured by the enemy on the battlefield? Tell me!"

Jackie Chan emphasized the last word, and with his powerful voice, it was like a thunderclap.

With a loud bang.

It exploded in He Lu's mind.

"Report: Peacekeeping operations follow international conventions, prisoners of war will be treated well, and female soldiers will be treated the same as male soldiers," He Lu said confidently.

"Haha, what a combat-ready female soldier!"

Hearing He Lu's simple answer, Jackie Chan was too lazy to waste any more words with her, because it would be useless to say anything more, and any further explanation would be superfluous.

"Here, I'm the boss. What I say is law. If you disagree, you can sue me. But until you're eliminated and leave, you're like clay in my hands, molded however I want."

Jackie Chan's words were very domineering, which made He Lu's temper flare up.

As a captain herself, she had more confidence in her words, and when her temper flared up, she didn't hold back, angrily accusing him to his face: "You are not qualified to be the chief instructor at all, you are just an arrogant thug."

"I'm not qualified??"

Jackie Chan laughed loudly again, but his expression changed after he finished laughing. He said as he made a move, "Then I'll show you whether I have the right to manage you bunch of nobodies."

As he spoke, Jackie Chan reached out with one hand, like a dragon's claw, towards He Lu's shoulder.

He Lu was, after all, a "veteran" who had participated in actual combat, although the actual combat of peacekeeping forces was subject to various treaties and could not be considered real combat.

However, being sent out to carry out peacekeeping operations is enough to prove He Lu's excellence.

He is also very skilled.

The moment He Lu realized that Jackie Chan had made a move, she reacted immediately and, almost instinctively, used both hands to grab him.

The combat skills taught in the military are all based on practical combat. In addition to standard military boxing, the main techniques taught are grappling and crawling.

Their main goal is to kill the enemy with one move, and they have no regard for martial ethics.

If it's an ordinary person, simply extending their arms straight out like this can actually be surprisingly effective for a two-handed tackle.

As long as she pinches the acupoints and uses skillful force and technique, He Lu can subdue even a burly, strong man.

However, Jackie Chan is an exception!

He is human, yet he is not human.

He Lu touched Jackie Chan's arm with both hands, and the moment she did, her eyes changed instantly.

The training uniform is designed to be loose and breathable. He Lu thought that Jackie Chan would be the same as everyone else, and was prepared to feel the clothes sink in when touched, and then exert force to grasp Jackie Chan's acupoints and meridians.

As a result, when He Lu touched the clothes and grabbed them, she actually grabbed his arm.

The loose-fitting training uniform was completely filled with Jackie Chan's muscles, and He Lu's hands, despite being quite large, still conveyed a strong sense of frustration.

The feel is like grasping a fully inflated basketball; it's so big and hard that you can't hold it with your hand.

Even if He Lu grabbed with both hands, she couldn't completely close her arms. Without a point of leverage, she couldn't complete the grappling.

Because He Lu launched a grappling counterattack, unlike Long Xiaoyun who immediately dodged and escaped.

This resulted in Jackie Chan's right hand reaching out and gripping He Lu's left shoulder without any doubt, holding her entire shoulder in his hand.

Compared to He Lu's inability to hold Jackie Chan's hand, Jackie Chan grabbing He Lu was like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts—a piece of cake.

Feeling the force on her shoulder, and having failed to capture Jackie Chan, He Lu twisted her shoulder and tried to back away to escape.

But they found that the shoulder had not moved at all.

It was as if it were being clamped by hydraulic clamps, tightly controlled and unable to move.

Seeing that things were not going well, He Lu immediately changed her tactics, pulled her hand back and grabbed Jackie Chan's right hand, trying to pry his hand off his shoulder.

As a result, Jackie Chan's right hand was surprisingly strong, like Mount Tai pressing down on his shoulder.

No matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't budge.

He Lu was truly scared at this point, realizing that Jackie Chan, this big guy, was different from the big, silly guy she had imagined; in fact, they were completely different beings.

Jackie Chan's power terrified her; even a brief encounter had robbed her of the courage to confront him.

The principle is: if you can't beat them, run away as fast as you can.

He Lu raised her foot and kicked Jackie Chan in the groin. Using normal methods was simply not enough, so she had to resort to underhanded tactics.

In a fight, if a woman can't win, using a groin kick as an attack isn't necessarily considered foul.

He Lu was very confident in her move. She believed that Jackie Chan would turn into a "ball-bursting instructor" in the next second, his face contorted in pain as he knelt on the ground.

As a result, when his leg had only kicked out halfway, a sharp pain came from his shinbone.

Jackie Chan reacted even faster than her. Just as He Lu's leg was in the air, he raised his leg to block, accurately kicking He Lu's shinbone and easily neutralizing the "child-crushing kick".

He Lu's moves were countered by Jackie Chan halfway through, and she tried to continue her attack with new moves.

pity.

He Lu's attacking opportunity is gone; it's now Jackie Chan's turn.

To everyone's astonishment, Jackie Chan displayed superhuman strength, grabbing He Lu with one hand and lifting her into the air.

Then it swung around in the air once more and was thrown towards the river.

call out--

He Lu glided through the air in a graceful parabola, her arms and legs flailing wildly in panic before finally crashing into the river with a splash.

The splashes of water from the impact were even more spectacular than those from the Philippine fishing stunt team.

Like a beautiful flower, blooming with silver beads all over the sky.

"Lifting someone up with one hand and throwing them seven or eight meters? Is that even a human being capable of? Is our head instructor a human or a monster?"

The female soldiers were stunned and petrified upon seeing this outrageous scene.
