Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 386 A New Force from the East!

Jackie Chan and Wu Zhe reported to the General Staff Headquarters and received a new mission for the two of them.

This mission is very special, unlike any other mission before. The key is that the difficulty cannot be measured, and there are too many uncertainties.

The task was also complex and obscure, mainly aiming to confuse and mislead.

Jackie Chan was tasked with forming a temporary, but highly capable, eight-person special operations team to board a warship as an inspection team and set sail together, paving the way for future naval escort missions abroad.

In order to mislead and confuse the public, and to prevent the outside world from knowing the information in advance.

The warships that set sail were not under the guise of escort exercises, but rather under the pretext of long-range maritime training, with only one frigate participating in this mission.

With a small number of warships and a small target size, they are unlikely to attract much attention from the outside world.

At the same time, the ship will try to conduct actual combat escort missions to accumulate valuable experience and provide direction for subsequent escort formations.

Since this mission will involve actual combat, the combat effectiveness of the expedition team will be required.

To ensure the expedition team's operational capabilities, it must be able to handle any unexpected situations and successfully complete its mission.

The higher authorities also granted Jackie Chan a special privilege—

We can select personnel from the entire army!

As long as Jackie Chan specifically requests personnel, all units of the military must cooperate fully and make every effort to coordinate the preparatory work and complete the formation of the temporary inspection team.

This is equivalent to giving Jackie Chan a powerful sword, which gives him a lot more room to maneuver.

Jackie Chan was already very tired, not physically, but mentally exhausted from constantly leading new special forces teams and doing repetitive work.

Now I hear that they're forming teams to "travel" overseas, and they'll even try to get real experience.

Jackie Chan immediately perked up!

All fatigue vanished in an instant.

Jackie Chan has had many experiences of going abroad for combat operations and training, and he has always performed outstandingly, bringing glory to his country.

However, they traveled overseas on warships as combat personnel accompanying the escort fleet.

Jackie Chan's entire life, both in his previous and current lives, has never experienced a bride riding in a sedan chair before.

Already tempted and excited, Jackie Chan was then given a special sword that allowed him to summon his entire army. He could no longer contain himself.

After going down, he immediately started writing and arranging the eight-person special operations team for this mission.

The General Staff specifically mentioned that this mission will involve actual combat, so the selection of personnel must be based on the perspective of actual combat, and a combat team with the best attributes must be configured.

We must not focus solely on overall strength.

The best teams always need "specialized players"; one all-rounder is enough. Having more than one will cause problems and reduce the team's overall strength.

It's better to be a master of one thing than a jack of all trades!

This old saying is not just empty words; it is the result of thousands of years of accumulated experience.

With practical experience and teamwork in mind, Jackie Chan had a clear direction for selecting his team members. Choosing members based on the team's configuration requirements is definitely the right thing to do.

First and foremost, Jackie Chan is undoubtedly the person in charge of the most crucial command.

As a well-known heavy mobile arsenal, Jackie Chan can also double as a heavy firepower supporter, providing the team with "support" that can shred the enemy.

Let our foreign friends, far from national borders, experience what it means to have a "personal version of firepower phobia".

Secondly, an eight-person team can be assigned a deputy commander, which makes it easier to fill in immediately if the team is divided into two four-person teams or if there is an unexpected command.

Ideally, one should choose a functional role to maximize safety.

As a reserve commander, one must be able to live a long time and absolutely cannot die more easily than the captain, otherwise one loses the meaning of existence.

Based on these core labels and attributes, Wu Zhe is undoubtedly the best candidate.

With a bachelor's degree in foreign languages ​​and fluency in multiple languages, coupled with a master's degree in optoelectronics, I am more than qualified to be a radio correspondent.

Whether it's codebreaking, translation, or radio operation, it's all a piece of cake.

A master's graduate in optoelectronics is playing radio...

This is definitely using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

In actual combat, radio communication is usually located in a relatively safe position, serving as the connection hub for the entire squad. It rarely needs to participate in combat, and its safety is definitely the highest among special operations squads.

The command team has been decided; the next step is the sniper team.

Jackie Chan knows several top snipers, and he has personally trained three of them.

Among Ye Cunxin, Tuoniao, and Cheng Cai, Ye Cunxin is the weakest, Tuoniao is second, and Cheng Cai is undoubtedly the first.

Ostrich and Cheng Cai have similar marksmanship and accuracy. In regular target practice, Ostrich would not lose to Cheng Cai.

The reason we lost was due to a lack of talent.

The ostrich didn't grasp the feel of gun shooting, which destined its potential to be lower than Cheng Cai's. No matter how many bullets it accumulates, its achievement will only be that of a sharpshooter, not the ceiling of a sniper.

Cheng Cai's selection for the sniper roster is entirely well-deserved and there is no private relationship involved.

The choice of medic is the least controversial. Shi Dafan, from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, a family of military doctors, and a formal surgeon, is definitely the "ace" that must be brought along on this trip.

Doctors are those who fight against death, and doctors on the battlefield are the strongest guarantee.

none of them!

In China, medicine and martial arts have been inseparable since ancient times. Shi Dafan is very skilled, quick-witted, and has sharp eyes and hands. He can not only provide support for the team but also play a role in combat. He can be described as a man of both literary and martial talents.

Jackie Chan decided to appoint him as the observer and pair him with Cheng Cai to form a sniper team.

There are two demolition experts.

They are Ouyang Qian, who has a college degree, and Lao Pao, who came from an unorthodox background.

Both individuals have their own strengths and can be the best choice in certain situations.

After careful consideration, Jackie Chan realized that the process of this operation would be very complicated and full of completely unpredictable factors.

In terms of the weight of expertise and experience, extensive experience is clearly more important.

Therefore, Jackie Chan decisively placed the demolition expert position on Zheng Sanpao, making him the dedicated demolition expert for this operation.

With his mature and steady personality, it wouldn't be a problem for him to become a light machine gunner as well.

This way, he and Jackie Chan can be in the back, forming the team's strongest firepower group.

The optimal configuration for an assault team is two people, but there are many suitable candidates for assault soldiers, with several in the two strategic-level special operations teams.

Shanlang, Tuo Yonggang, Zhuang Yan, Xu Sanduo, Qiangzi, etc. are all good.

There are only two spots available, so the best of the best must be chosen.

Jackie Chan thought that the future of this mission was uncertain, and no one could predict what terrible things might happen, or even that he might lose his life.

So they decided to bring along a "protagonist" to use the protagonist's halo to suppress all evil spirits.

Special Forces soldier Zhuang Yan and soldier Xu Sanduo both made the roster.

The list includes Jackie Chan, Wu Zhe, Zheng Sanpao, Cheng Cai, Shi Dafan, Zhuang Yan, and Xu Sanduo, seven of the top special forces experts in China.

They should have added a machine gunner, and Jackie Chan could have focused on commanding the team full-time, which would have formed a regular eight-person squad.

However, the people Jackie Chan chose were all too elite, each of them holding multiple positions and filling all the gaps. With this team configuration, it was already sufficient, and the configuration in all aspects was already very complete.

but.

Since the higher authorities have already allocated eight slots, there's no need to waste one.

Although this mission was ostensibly to scout ahead, it was also extremely challenging and served as a valuable training opportunity for each team member.

With such a great opportunity to train abroad, I should definitely bring as much as I can.

So Jackie Chan decided to bring a machine gunner with him.

The Jiaolong Commando Unit has now been formed and has entered a period of intensive training in special operations skills, and the members have already acquired a certain foundation.

Stone, a machine gunner who is 1.88 meters tall, is a person that Jackie Chan is quite satisfied with.

pity.

This was an excellent training opportunity, but not a good learning opportunity; the "cadet soldiers" were still too much of a drag on the team.

Jackie Chan could only choose another person, someone he had always valued highly.

This person is Wu Liuyi!

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, Wu Liuyi is definitely a big guy. He was a machine gunner in the Steel Seventh Company, then in the A Battalion, and finally in the Black Spade A Assault Team, where he remained a machine gunner.

As a professional machine gunner, Wu Liuyi's skills are beyond doubt.

After being trained by Jackie Chan, that gunman's skill level was second only to Jackie Chan's in the entire army, making him second only to Jackie Chan.

Once the eight-person roster was finalized, Jackie Chan reported the list to the higher authorities.

soon.

The seven people on the list received direct orders from the General Staff, which were then relayed to each of them by the military region.

The General Staff's orders need no further explanation and require no questioning.

Everyone arrived within two days.

The seven men all came from two strategic commando teams that had previously worked together to eliminate the Ma family group in Yuanshan Town, southern Yunnan.

Since everyone is an old acquaintance, there is no sense of unfamiliarity, and the team can integrate more quickly.

The second day of our gathering.

Jackie Chan and his group of eight, under the arrangement of their superiors, went to the naval port in Bohai Bay and boarded the Yangcheng frigate to experience life on board in advance.

Life on a warship is completely different from life on land; it can be very difficult to get used to at sea without first getting used to it.

The eight-member expedition team were all elite soldiers who had undergone training in various harsh environments, and their adaptability far exceeded that of ordinary people.

After spending seven days on the ship, it was basically the same as being on land.

Only Jackie Chan is a little more troublesome.

Warships are never designed with comfort in mind, so both the hatches and the passageways in the living quarters are very narrow.

In most places, only one person can walk at a time; it is simply impossible for two people to walk side by side.

Compared to Xu Sanduo, who had always been the youngest member of the team, he was able to utilize his greatest strengths on the warship, making even the narrowest passageways feel wide to him.

Jackie Chan's large size makes things a bit more complicated; he always feels awkward going through passageways or cabin doors.

In some places, you can't even walk straight through; you have to turn sideways. In terms of convenience, it's practically impossible to experience anything.

Fortunately, although it was stifling for Jackie Chan, it didn't have any major side effects.

Let's squeeze in a little.

For special forces soldiers who can endure any hardship, the cramped conditions on the ship are a piece of cake for Jackie Chan.

Half a month after the expedition team boarded the warship, the Yangzhou frigate left the naval port under cover of night.

There was no farewell ceremony, no festive decorations.

Everything was quiet!

The superiors' strategy was to keep the operation as quiet as possible, avoid causing any international disturbances, and then quietly achieve all the objectives of the operation.

As the warships left the naval port and headed south, Jackie Chan and the others began to feel excited.

The stark contrast between leaving quietly and without fanfare, carrying a sacred mission bestowed upon them by the nation, evokes a particularly poignant feeling.

It filled people with both anticipation and trepidation.

Amidst these complex and unpredictable emotions, before the warships had even left the motherland's coastline, the expedition team encountered its first major hurdle.

It's one thing for a warship to be docked in port, but quite another to be sailing at sea.

Warships docked in the harbor do not move; at most, they sway slightly with the waves, having a very weak effect on the cerebellum.

But when warships are sailing at sea, it's a completely different story.

The frigate's tonnage isn't large enough to ignore the waves; sailing through the waves will cause it to rise and fall, and it will also sway with the waves.

The combined effects of these various types of shaking made the people on the warship feel as if they were swinging on a swing.

It soared up in an instant, then plummeted down in a flash.

If an average non-swimmer were to encounter this situation, they would definitely vomit within half an hour, and wouldn't be able to stop until their legs went weak.

Even though Jackie Chan and others underwent special training, they were still very uncomfortable on the warship.

A feeling of nausea and vomiting lingered around them.

It turns out.

Being a navy officer isn't easy!

Fortunately, Jackie Chan and his crew were all young, and they had high resistance to physical exertion. They were all tough and resilient, with a strong ability to adapt.

After a week of adjustment, most people didn't feel much anymore.

The nausea, vomiting, and dizziness have all disappeared.

This proves that everyone's body has fully adapted.

The Yangzhou traveled through my country's waters, crossing most of the coastline, and finally entered the South China Sea, continuing its southward journey.

Since we were always traveling in our own area, the journey was relatively smooth.

Aside from regularly exercising and occasionally taking a drive on the deck to enjoy the sea view, the team members don't really have much to do.

Until the warships sailed into the South China Sea region and headed towards the Strait of Malacca.

The atmosphere on the warship changed slightly!

Although we have been traveling in international waters and there are no problems according to international conventions, the rise of major powers in recent years has made some countries envious and indignant. No one knows whether they will try to trip us up.

Prevention is always better than cure.

Perhaps the superior's strategy worked, or perhaps a single frigate was simply too "stingy" and failed to pique the interest of certain countries.

The Yangzhou passed through the Strait of Malacca smoothly without any "accidents".

The journey across the Indian Ocean has begun.

The final destination is on the other side of the Indian Ocean, in what is now the most chaotic region on international shipping routes, where a new force from the East will emerge.
