Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 395 Evacuation of Chinese Nationals from Ivia

In order to be in the best combat condition and complete the mission entrusted to us by our motherland in Djibouti.

The Yanlong team took breaks along the way, crossing the Gulf of Aden, which connects the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, to Djibouti, a pass in the Red Sea.

I thought we could reach Djibouti and finally get back to our mission as an expedition team, conducting on-site investigations.

But there are always unexpected things that can happen.

Just four days after the Guangdong incident, when the Yangzhou was less than half a day away from Djibouti, an accident suddenly occurred.

Early in the morning.

Captain Zhang summoned everyone from the warship's command headquarters, as well as Cheng Long and Wu Zhe from the Yanlong Team.

The game started with some explosive news!

"At 3:43 a.m. today, our ship received an urgent message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that a military coup had occurred in the Republic of Ivia just four days ago."

The Central Military Commission ordered the Navy to instruct our ships to immediately proceed to the Republic of Ivia in the Arabian Peninsula to evacuate our nationals there.

Our ship is currently sailing at full speed towards Ivia and is expected to arrive in two hours.

After Captain Zhang announced the Central Military Commission's order, he typed a few words on the keyboard, and the main screen began playing a news video.

"Four days have passed since the civil war broke out in the Republic of Ivia, and the rebels led by General Sharaf have captured several major cities."

According to investigations by frontline reporters, large numbers of civilians and expatriates from various countries have fled the war zone. Other reports indicate that many people have gone missing or been kidnapped during the civil war, including foreign nationals and high-ranking officials of the Ivia government.

Suspicion is currently pointing to Zarqaq, the largest extremist group in Ivia…

"We need to be extra careful with this Xhaka."

Captain Zhang stopped the main screen from playing the video and pointed at Zaka on the screen, saying, "This Zaka has launched multiple terrorist attacks in Ivia in order to get the government to recognize their organization."

In particular, in the last two years, it has joined forces with several extremist terrorist organizations to carry out terrorist operations in the Eurasian region.

Even the recent military coup in Ivia was actually orchestrated by Zaka in secret, as he supported General Salaf, who was known as a madman.

According to the personnel list provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we currently need to evacuate 130 of our personnel from Ivia, as well as 30 foreign employees of our companies, for a total of 160 people.

The Yangzhou is temporarily halting its journey to Djibouti and will immediately proceed to Ivia to carry out its mission…

Captain Zhang relayed orders from his superiors, ultimately assigning the Yanlong team as the escort for this evacuation, responsible for going to the embassy to bring the Chinese citizens to the dock.

The Yangzhou will be ready at the dock to welcome 160 Chinese citizens and staff aboard.

This was Jackie Chan's first time participating in a warship evacuation of overseas Chinese, and he had no experience to draw upon. Fortunately, he had the advantage of having God's Eye.

Returning to the Yanlong team's living quarters with the order, Wu Zhe instructed him to summon all team members to assemble.

A few minutes later!

All members of the Flame Dragon Team were present and assembled in the armory.

A lot of supplies have been prepared here, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are on display. At a glance, they could arm at least a platoon.

However, the vast majority of these weapons are not domestically produced, but rather manufactured in EU countries.

包括但不限于SCAR-L突击步枪、SG551突击步枪、CZ805突击步枪、布莱瑟R-93LRS2栓式狙击枪、M249伞兵型、M249标準型等等。

There are at least 20 different models of long and short guns.

When Xu Sanduo, Zhuang Yan, and other team members walked in, they saw that everything was foreign-made, and some of the guns were even unfamiliar to them. Their curiosity was piqued.

He couldn't resist walking over immediately, reaching out, and picking up the gun that interested him to play with.

Jackie Chan gave a brief introduction to the mission that the Flame Dragon Team would be undertaking, and then pointed to the weapons in front of them and said, "This mission is special in nature, requiring us to operate only in small teams. Warships cannot participate in the landing operation."

Moreover, during your operations, the warships will be unable to provide you with ammunition support.

The higher authorities promptly coordinated with the local government forces, who could provide ammunition support, but their bullet caliber and weapons were completely different from ours.

To ensure compatibility of weapons and ammunition, all the weapons and equipment we are carrying this time must be converted to EU weapons and equipment.

The equipment laid out before you can be freely chosen and combined according to your needs to complete this mission.

After explaining the most basic information, Jackie Chan specifically reminded everyone: "Although the orders from our superiors clearly stated that this operation was an evacuation operation and that we needed to abide by the UN's rules of engagement, we were not allowed to fire unless absolutely necessary."

In addition, the government forces provide weapons, ensuring sufficient support in terms of weaponry.

Therefore, it is necessary to carry as little ammunition as possible to increase mobility and flexibility, and complete this evacuation mission in a shorter time.

However, my personal suggestion is slightly different.

I suggest that everyone carry as much ammunition as possible. If you can move around, carry as much as you can to maximize your firepower.

Ultimately, trusting yourself is worse than trusting others; no one can say for sure whether the local government forces are reliable.

Jackie Chan's suggestion went against his superiors' wishes, but the team members chose to trust him without hesitation, making sure they carried eleven to fifteen magazines with them.

Because of the universality of ammunition, weapon selection has become more flexible.

Assault soldier Xu Sanduo chose a SCAR, spotter Shi Dafan chose a CZ805A2 assault rifle, and Zhuang Yan took an SSG551 assault rifle.

Sniper Cheng Cai uses a bolt-action sniper rifle paired with a rifle, a double-long-range configuration.

A Blaser R-93LRS2 bolt-action sniper rifle, an SG551 with a 3x to 6x adjustable scope, and a Glock pistol.

The perfect sniper rifle!

It can be used for close combat, long-range operations, and self-defense!

Wu Liuyi chose the M249 short-barreled paratrooper version, equipped with a 100-round ammunition box.

Jackie Chan was carrying the M249 standard model.

These guns are all 5.56 caliber, which are decent in terms of personnel lethality, but very limited in terms of destructive power, and are very vulnerable to enemy cover.

To increase firepower, almost everyone's guns were fitted with grenade launchers.

These guns are designed with tactical modularity; whatever you need, you can simply attach it to the fishbone, making them very convenient for modification.

The FN40GL rifle-mounted grenade launcher can compensate for insufficient firepower at ranges of 50 to 100 meters.

Jackie Chan didn't equip the gun with a grenade launcher because he didn't need it; it was his signature weapon, which he brought along this time.

The Type 87 automatic grenade launcher outperforms rifle-mounted grenade launchers in every aspect.

As a heavy firepower support soldier and commander, carrying only these two guns is certainly not worthy of his title, nor does it match his towering, giant-like physique.

To avoid wasting his weight, Jackie Chan also brought a rocket launcher and several RGP-7s.

With Jackie Chan as a mobile heavy firepower, the chances of success for this mission have increased by at least ten points, which makes the team members feel much more at ease.

Jackie Chan's team was very aggressive, and the other team members weren't idle either.

Equip him with everything he can, including holographic red dot sights, various 3x and 6x scopes, thermal imaging goggles, and night vision scopes.

Special operations are essentially half about technology and half about equipment.

Is the equipment good or bad?

It is directly related to combat effectiveness.

……

Republic of Ivia.

Oharfa Port.

With the full coordination of the embassy, ​​the third convoy of expatriates escorted by government troops successfully arrived at the resettlement point in the port.

Meanwhile, another convoy of government troops arrived outside the embassy in the Republic of Ivia.

They will work with the embassy's armed police force to escort the fourth and final batch of embassy staff from the embassy to the port resettlement point.

Once the Yangzhou frigate arrives, the overseas Chinese will be able to board the ship and return to their motherland.

As the last batch of embassy personnel prepared to evacuate, the Yangzhou, which had been running at full speed all morning after receiving the order, had arrived at the outer sea of ​​Oharfa Port.

"Reporting to the captain and political commissar, Ivia has granted us permission to enter the port of Oharfa," the communications officer shouted.

"All ships are on Level Two alert!"

Captain Zhang, holding binoculars, looked into the distance at the Oharfa port, which was already faintly visible, and solemnly issued the formal combat order.

As Captain Zhang gave the order, the entire ship rang with urgent bells, ringing like battle horns.

From this moment on, the Yangzhou dialect officially entered a state of combat readiness.

All the cannons on the ship were turned toward the port of Oharfa, and the navy soldiers, fully armed, stood in a neat circle on the ship's side on the deck.

The smell of battle became incredibly strong!

The overseas Chinese waiting to be evacuated at the port knew that warships would come to pick them up and take them home, and they were excited to feel the strength of their motherland.

It was in this sense of urgency that people kept searching the sea with binoculars.

The Yangzhou appeared on the sea outside the harbor and was immediately spotted by the people, who couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Our warship is here! The ship to take us home is here! We can go home now!"

The voice wasn't loud, but the emotion was incredibly intense and infectious.

The surrounding people were instantly drawn in, all turning their heads toward the sea. The once quiet settlement suddenly erupted into a frenzy.

All the overseas Chinese who had been sitting on the ground or on their luggage, anxiously waiting, jumped up.

They raised their hands high and cheered excitedly.

Less than half an hour.

Having received permission to enter the port, the Yangzhou smoothly entered the O'Hafa port terminal. A pedestrian bridge was set up on the helicopter landing deck, and the naval soldiers filed down.

They entered the overseas Chinese resettlement site to guide and send the overseas Chinese to the Yangzhou ship in batches.

The overseas Chinese, who were initially extremely nervous and fearful, saw the five-star red flag flying high on the warship and saw the steel warship representing the strength of their motherland.

My initial tension vanished instantly, replaced by a smile.

of course.

To prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation, all necessary procedures must be followed.

All overseas Chinese who were guided out of the resettlement site had to have their ID cards and passports checked one by one to confirm that they were Chinese before they could board the ship for evacuation.

Some petty individuals from small East Asian countries, and some who have changed their nationality to worship foreign things, only now realize how good their own country is. Those who want to climb the social ladder must be picked out.

Because it is necessary to check the documents of overseas Chinese one by one, and some people try to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble, while others lose their documents and do not have time to retrieve them, all of which delay the inspection time and greatly increase the workload.

Although only a little over 160 overseas Chinese were evacuated, it would have taken at least an hour to get everything done.

The Yanlong team was supposed to pick up the people from the embassy, ​​but due to the harmonious coordination between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ivia government, the local government forces intervened.

Therefore, the Yanlong team no longer needs to disembark; they only need to remain on board at all times.

Seeing that the first three groups of overseas Chinese had begun to board the ship, the fourth group was in the final stages of preparation and would arrive soon.

Captain Zhang, who had been standing on the bridge observing the situation, relaxed his furrowed brows slightly.

Knowing what was about to happen, Jackie Chan, even after receiving orders from Captain Zhang, only needed to remain on the ship at level two and await further instructions.

All members of the Flame Dragon team were kept in a state of high alert so that they could set off in the shortest possible time.

Political Commissar Xie had been communicating with all parties involved. Upon receiving the unexpected news, he immediately found Captain Zhang and told him, "Check, the situation in Ivia has changed. Their president was recently attacked and seriously injured."

His Secretary-General, Mohadi, is now acting as Minister of State. In his official capacity as the Ivia government, he has formally submitted a diplomatic request to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping that we can protect his family from leaving the country.

The higher command has approved and instructed our ship to be in charge; you need to make the necessary arrangements in advance.

Originally, the evacuation mission wouldn't have required the navy or special forces to disembark, so it wasn't very difficult. But now that there's a new mission, things are completely different.

The greatest danger comes from the rebels.

Originally, there was no conflict between the rebels and our army, and they were not specifically targeted. In fact, during the entire evacuation process, they would have intentionally avoided us and given us a convenient route.

But if our army provides protection to Secretary General Mohadi, it is tantamount to helping the Ivia government.

The rebels are against the Ivia government. The enemy's friend is the enemy. The Yangzhou, which is docked in the port, is likely to be attacked by the rebels.

"Okay, I understand."

Captain Zhang knew what was going to happen next and immediately upgraded the security measures.

Be prepared for Level 1 deployment at any time!

……

Inside the embassy.

"Ambassador, the last evacuees have completed preparations and are ready to depart at any time," the military attaché reported to the ambassador.

"Where are the military vehicles?" the ambassador asked.

"The military vehicles are ready, and we can depart now," the military attaché replied.

"Then let's set off now. Our warships have arrived at the port. There's no time to lose. Go and inform everyone to get out and get on the vehicles immediately," the ambassador ordered.

"OK."

The military officer rushed out of his office, went downstairs, and shouted from the corridor, "We can go now! Get ready to depart! Everyone, quickly grab your luggage and get on the bus outside! Hurry!"
