Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 393 Violence is Aesthetics!

They walked quietly up the mountain without disturbing any pirates, and in about two minutes, Yanlong and his group successfully reached the top floor.

The entire group prepared against the wall next to the thick hatch, with their guns held high and angled upwards.

Even though there was a large observation window on the hatch, Jackie Chan and the other three did not peek out to avoid alerting the pirates inside.

Instead, it was assault soldier Xu Sanduo who took out a pinhole camera and extended the extended pinhole probe.

Place it slightly protruding from the lower left corner of the window to observe the situation inside the cockpit and relay the pirate's location to the others using tactical hand signals.

After confirming the pirates' locations, Jackie Chan gave the helicopter an OK sign.

Despite the high speed of the Guangdong and the great interference from the sea breeze, the sound insulation of the container ship's bridge is excellent.

With the door closed.

Even if you shout, you might not be able to hear clearly from outside the door, let alone speak.

However, Jackie Chan still habitually tries to remain silent whenever possible.

One team was already in position at the designated action location, waiting for the Flame Dragon Team 2, who had ventured deep into the ship's cabin, to report their progress so that they could coordinate the attack.

About two minutes passed.

"Calling Sea Dragon, this is Flame Dragon Team Two. We have arrived at the engine room and found two pirates. They have four hostages in their hands. Over."

The helicopter had already received feedback from Jackie Chan, and now it has received a report from Wu Zhe.

The helicopter co-pilot immediately reported to the Yangzhou command center via radio: "Reporting to the command center, Yanlong Group 1 and Group 2 have arrived near the enemy and are in position."

There were two pirates in the engine room, holding four crew members hostage.

There are three pirates in the cockpit, holding fifteen hostages. The situation is relatively clear; the pirates show no intention of leaving the cockpit. Over.

"Command center received. Notify the Flame Dragon Team to commence operations immediately," Captain Zhang ordered.

"Received, all done."

Upon receiving the order from the command center, the co-pilot immediately relayed the order to the two Yanlong teams.

Jackie Chan's group switched positions, with Jackie Chan, who was the most accurate and fastest marksman, leading the charge. After hearing the explosion, the battle began.

Xu Sanduo, Shi Dafan, and Wu Liuyi, who followed closely behind, were on high alert and ready to cooperate with Jackie Chan.

Overall.

The Yanlong Group doesn't have much to do; they just need to wait there and get ready.

The environment in which Yanlong Team Two is located is complex, which increases the difficulty of the raid. A lot of preparation work needs to be done before the operation.

The two pirates were in the engine room, and they had already locked the door.

The observation window of the engine room door was too small to allow for effective firing from the outside, and the heavy door could not be forcibly broken open.

Fortunately, there was an old hand who had gone from self-taught to expert through diligent self-study.

Since there's no way to break down the door and rush in, let's make use of the veteran's demolition skills.

The ideal way is to find a spot where you can blow up the pirates inside without harming the hostages, create a hole, and then break in.

After a very short survey, the veteran found a perfect blasting spot.

Take out the plastic explosive strip for directional blasting, stick a blast hole on the wall, then insert the detonator and fuse, and pull it to the corner next to it for preparation.

Having completed the preparations for the demolition, Lao Pao gave Wu Zhe an OK sign.

After receiving the message from Lao Pao, Wu Zhe immediately reported to his superior via radio: "Report, target locked for Group Two, ready to move at any time, over."

Inside the combat center of the Yangzhou, a technician reported, "Captain, the Guangdong has suddenly accelerated again."

"How much time do we have left?" Captain Zhang asked, his face ashen.

"Report: The Guangdong is now accelerating at 23 knots. If it continues at this speed, it will enter the Somali waters in 15 minutes," the technician reported.

"Captain, territorial waters are inviolable. We must not enter another country's territorial waters," Political Commissar Xie reminded them.

Captain Zhang was well aware of the situation. With a stern expression but a calm demeanor, he ordered, "Captain Cheng, we have only ten minutes left to evacuate."

"Understood, ten minutes should be enough."

Jackie Chan confidently replied to Captain Zhang, and then radioed the order: "All team members, listen up! To ensure the safety of the hostages, all positions must attack simultaneously. Await my command. Over."

"Second Group received!" Wu Zhe replied.

"Hailong, this is a group. I need you to fly directly in front of the cockpit and hover level with it. Can you do that?" Jackie Chan called out.

"Sea Dragon received, no problem at all. Give me thirty seconds. Over." the helicopter replied.

"Okay, let's begin."

Jackie Chan replied to Wang Wanhai on the helicopter, and then ordered his teammates: "Attention all units, the raid will begin in forty seconds. Veteran will make the first move."

Repeat, forty seconds later, the raid begins, with the demolition expert making the first move.

After Jackie Chan issued the order, all units immediately entered a state of combat readiness, with everyone on edge and focused to the maximum.

The Hailong was already circling above the Guangdong, so it was easy for it to turn directly in front of the Guangdong.

It doesn't even take thirty seconds!

In just twenty-one seconds, the helicopter appeared directly in front of the Guangdong, at the same height as the Guangdong's cockpit.

"Calling team one, this is Hailong. We have arrived at our position. We can only stay for fifteen seconds, or we will collide with the container ship. Over." the helicopter called out.

"Group One, received. Demolitionists, prepare! Ten-second countdown begins." Jackie Chan gave the advance command.

The veteran, who had already planted the explosives, immediately pricked up his ears to listen to the radio.

"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one, begin."

As Jackie Chan finished the countdown and shouted "Start!", the veteran, who had been waiting in the wings, pressed the detonator button.

"Boom!"

A loud bang was heard, followed by billowing smoke.

The bulkhead, made of composite materials, was as brittle as tofu in the face of explosives, and was blasted into a hole 1.5 meters high by directional explosives.

A pirate behind this wall was hit hard on the back by the shockwave of the explosion.

He was sent flying, his head hitting the steel pipe, and he immediately lost consciousness.

The other pirate was a little further away and wasn't directly hit by the shockwave, but the enormous noise of the explosion made his ears ring and his vision go black.

Before he could recover from the dizziness of the explosion, a gun barrel appeared outside the hole.

"Clap clap clap".

A rapid-fire three-round burst.

The pirate was shot down by the Mozambiques, fell backward headfirst to the ground, and a blob of red and white liquid quickly flowed out from under the back of his head.

Almost the instant the gun was fired, Zhuang Yan rushed in, following the sound of the gunshot.

The gun was turned towards the pirate who had been knocked unconscious on the ground. Without even a fraction of a second of hesitation, two shots were fired at the pirate's head.

Wu Zhe, Cheng Cai, and Lao Pao followed closely behind and quickly took control of the situation in the engine room.

The four hostages, who were initially terrified by the pirates and turned pale from the explosion, saw the familiar skin color and uniforms and heard the shouts.

"We are from the Chinese Navy, and we have come here specifically to rescue you. Please do not be afraid."

"You're safe now. Stay calm, I'll get you out of here right away."

"There might still be danger around, don't wander off."

……

Hearing the voices of the People's Liberation Army overseas and receiving their help made it difficult for the crew members to control their emotions.

Wow!

They all burst into tears.

……

The camera rewinds to twenty seconds earlier.

Even though the Guangdong was a very large ship with an astonishing length of over 300 meters, the sound of the explosion from the cabin was still very clear when it reached the bridge.

It's like a series of images, with only an exaggerated 0.2 seconds in between.

The moment the explosion was heard, the pirates inside the house had already launched their surprise attack.

He half-turned and came to the hatch from the side, with Jackie Chan's gun barrel pointing directly at the top edge of the hatch's observation window.

He turned around and fired, as if he hadn't even aimed.

"Snap!"

Jackie Chan fired his gun.

The first pirate on the right, wearing a hat, turned his head just as he heard the explosion, and the bullet pierced his forehead as if it had hit him.

It flew out of the back of the head, accompanied by a large mass of blood, brain matter, and skull fragments.

Xu Sanduo, whose reaction was only slightly slower than Jackie Chan's, crawled out right at Jackie Chan's chest, with his gun line at the bottom of the observation compartment.

"Snap!"

A shot rang out.

Xu Sanduo also took down one. The bullet hit the pirate in the plaid shirt on his right front. The bullet went in through his right temple and came out through his left.

The last remaining one-eyed pirate saw his two underlings instantly fall to the ground.

His reaction was very fast; he had clearly been trained.

Without even a second's hesitation, he immediately bent down and hid behind the hostages, then grabbed one of them and huddled behind him.

He pressed a gun against the back of the hostage's head, preparing to use the hostage to negotiate with the commando team.

Jackie Chan had prepared for a double kill, but the one-eyed man's reaction was too decisive, causing Jackie Chan's plan to fail.

Seeing that the one-eyed man had already taken hostages, Jackie Chan had no intention of letting him go.

I tried turning the doorknob, but it wouldn't open.

It was obviously locked from the inside!

Jackie Chan immediately revealed his violent side, punching the observation window of the cabin door, which shattered instantly despite the double-layered soundproofing and thick glass.

Seeing Jackie Chan, who was as big as a giant, the one-eyed man already felt immense pressure.

Seeing such a violent breach of the door, and imagining Jackie Chan's physique resembling that of a Norse god of war, his eyes immediately became even more panicked.

Such a terrifying opponent.

One-Eyed Dragon had absolutely no idea what to expect.

Jackie Chan easily shattered the double-pane glass with an elbow strike, and his right hand, gloved with a tactical glove, reached through the glass and opened the door from the inside.

He then pushed open the door and strode inside, holding the gun in one hand with his crosshair locked on the one-eyed man.

Even if the one-eyed dragon only shows one eye, the sense of oppression is still overwhelming.

Xu Sanduo and the other two filed in. The three dark gun barrels were very similar, all locked on the direction of the one-eyed man, just like Jackie Chan's.

"Stop! Don't come any closer! Stop right there, or I'll shoot him!"

With four guns locked around his head, the one-eyed man was starting to lose his composure. He ducked his head even further and shouted a warning at the top of his lungs.

One-Eyed Dragon speaks fluent English, which Jackie Chan can understand very clearly.

"You have nowhere to run. Release the hostages and surrender. That's your only way out. Otherwise, you're doomed."

Jackie Chan was not going to be subdued by the criminal. He continued to press forward with his gun, making the atmosphere in the cockpit even more intense.

"Get out, get out, all of you get out..."

Shi Dafan remained as resourceful as ever, managing to evacuate the other hostages immediately.

The crew members had already been held captive for two hours and were forced to stand as shields in front of the windows. Some of them were so frightened that they even urinated.

Seeing the red flag on Jackie Chan and the others' uniforms, they already knew who had come to rescue them.

The thought of being rescued by the army from their motherland gave the crew members a sense of home and a strong sense of patriotism, which instantly gave them courage.

No longer afraid of the one-eyed pirate's threats, they all cooperated with Shi Dafan's shouts.

They dashed towards the hatch.

The one-eyed man was already in dire straits and dared not move his gun. He could only watch helplessly as the hostages ran away.

They could only continue to use the hostages they had to find a way to confront and maneuver against Jackie Chan and his men.

In less than ten seconds, all the other hostages had run out, leaving only the Jiaolong team and the pirates facing off in the huge cockpit.

Just then.

Wu Zhe reported over the radio: "Calling Yanlong Group 1, this is Yanlong Group 2. All the oil valves have been damaged. We cannot shut off the throttle and cannot stop the Guangdong from moving forward."

"Go and cut off the power to the Guangdong, and have the old gunner blow up the hydraulic system of the main drive shaft. Use both methods simultaneously to bring the Guangzhou to a stop."

Jackie Chan's gun being pointed at the one-eyed man didn't stop him from giving orders to Wu Zhe.

Jackie Chan continues his standoff with One-Eyed Man, trying to resolve the matter without resorting to force and instead negotiate for One-Eyed Man to surrender.

Only resort to force if all else fails.

After all, there is always a risk involved in firing a gun, even if the risk is as low as one percent. That "one percent" is still a risk, and the rescue operation must avoid it.

On the other side, Wu Zhe received Jackie Chan's instructions and immediately split into two groups according to Jackie Chan's instructions.

Wu Zhe went to the control room located at the front of the cabin, where the main electrical distribution board for the entire ship was located. The only way to turn off the main switch was to go to that place.

The veteran was already in the engine room and quickly located the hydraulic system for the drive shaft.

To blow through this thick, solid steel pipe, it would be impossible with the amount of explosives the old gunman carried; at least ten kilograms would be needed.

but.

To stop a transformer from operating, it is not necessary to blow up the drive shaft.

Based on his personal technical analysis, the veteran decided to place explosives at the transmission connection of the hydraulic shaft and carry out the demolition in a clever way.

In less than thirty seconds, the veteran skillfully installed the explosives.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar.

It is much more powerful than the previous wall-blasting attack.

The thick drive shaft was fine, but the connection to the hydraulic shaft was severely deformed and stuck, unable to move. However, under the engine's enormous torque, it was forced to rotate and eventually broke.

The Guangdong's huge propeller, several meters in diameter, lost power and slowly came to a stop.
