Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 396 The Attack! Enter the City!

The last group of people to evacuate by vehicle were all embassy staff members who needed to be evacuated last due to their immigration status.

Actually, they were all anxious a long time ago.

Upon hearing the military officer's call, everyone stood up in unison, carrying or pulling their luggage, and ran towards the gate.

The evacuation convoy was already prepared outside, and the embassy's armed police were ready to depart.

As embassy staff boarded the vehicles, including the ambassador who sat in the middle MPV, the convoy, led by two Humvees belonging to the Ivia government and protected by two vehicles carrying embassy police, drove out of the embassy gate.

There were troops stationed outside the embassy gates, and they appeared to be government troops based on their uniforms.

However, a helmeted officer in the government army saw the embassy convoy coming out and driving towards the port from the left side of the road, and made an unusual move.

He took out his phone and made a call, saying in Arabic, "The Chinese consul has left; you may begin."

Two streets away, there was a group of people wearing black headscarves, clearly the rebel army of Ivia.

The rebel leader put away his phone and immediately shouted to the armed convoy parked by the roadside, "Guys, it's time to move!"

The Chinese embassy staff had already left. Everyone immediately got into their cars and chased after them, forcing them into the war zone and teaching them a lesson.

At the signal of the rebel leader, the rebel convoy, made up of dilapidated, rusty but armed pickup trucks, immediately started up and sped off, billowing black smoke.

Two of the pickup trucks also had heavy firepower, with a heavy machine gun mounted on the back of the truck.

This standard African-Middle Eastern-style firepower configuration, without even a single armored vehicle, is likely not very effective against a regular army.

However, it was more than enough to hunt down the embassy convoy that was evacuating.

The embassy convoy of five vehicles, unaware that they had been targeted by the rebels, continued to drive toward the port under the escort of two government Humvees.

An unexpected situation occurred as the convoy was passing through a narrow section of road.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

The lead government Humvee ran over an IED bomb on the side of the road, and the entire vehicle was blown away by the powerful explosion.

It flipped two or three times in the air before crashing sideways into a house across the street.

The Hummer military vehicle, weighing over five tons, crashed into the doorway and even the supporting pillars of a house across the street, and the entire vehicle crashed into the innermost part of the house.

From the street outside, all you can see are the severely deformed car floorboards.

The huge explosion startled the four cars following behind the convoy, causing them to brake suddenly almost simultaneously.

The dozen or so evacuees in the vehicle were all thrown forward by gravity, and they couldn't help but scream in fright.

The second vehicle following the Hummer military vehicle was an extended commercial van, carrying more than a dozen people. The driver witnessed the Hummer take off.

The driver dared not drive any further!

Fortunately, the military attaché from the embassy was in the car. After all, he was responsible for the embassy's security work on a daily basis, so he was more composed.

He wasn't panicked by the unexpected turn of events. Instead, he calmly ordered the driver, "Go! Go right now! We can't stop here."

Upon hearing the instruction, the driver quickly composed himself, shifted gears again, and accelerated forward.

The military attaché then gave the order to the armed police vehicle: "Notify the government military vehicles behind to speed up and rush to the front to clear the way."

The vehicle carrying the armed police was fourth from the bottom, followed by the government army's second Humvee.

The government forces' vehicles are wide-body Humvees, capable of providing basic protection against rifle attacks.

In addition, the wide-body Hummer has a gun turret on it, which is equipped with a Lao Gan Ma heavy machine gun, making its firepower extremely fierce and enough to cause huge damage to the enemy.

As long as you don't run over roadside bombs or get hit head-on by heavy firepower like RPGs.

Just like the Hummer that was blown away just now!

With bulletproof kits installed, the Humvees were no match for the rebels' secondhand rifles. Even if they were allowed to fire from the buildings on either side, they wouldn't be able to do much against them.

Having it lead the way in the convoy is definitely more suitable than using an MPV.

The government soldiers were quite shrewd; they watched as their comrades were blown up like overturned turtles, and most of the people in the car were already dead.

Upon hearing the request to clear the way ahead, he agreed without hesitation.

After the convoy continued driving for another ten seconds or so, it came to a two-lane street, and the Hummer immediately accelerated and rushed forward to lead the way.

However, even with Humvees leading the way, the actual retreat was not ideal.

It could even be described as terrible!

Because the streets were intentionally blocked, many roads were impassable, and at one intersection, there was only one road to pass through.

In addition, rebel pickup trucks appeared behind them and kept firing at the embassy convoy.

The embassy convoy had to travel at full speed to keep as far away from the rebel pickup trucks as possible, and could only go wherever there was a road available.

There was simply no way to stop and choose a route, or to carry out obstacle removal and road clearing work.

This fell right into the rebels' trap!

The convoy was supposed to stay away from the combat zone, detour around it to the port, avoid the risks, and successfully complete the evacuation.

As a result, the convoy is now like headless flies, and can only frantically run away in a panic.

They were intentionally led into the combat zone.

The rebels, who deliberately orchestrated all of this, also tracked the convoy in real time via radio, sending its exact location to each rebel unit so they could cooperate in driving away and intercepting the embassy convoy.

After driving blindly for more than a minute, the embassy convoy turned a corner and suddenly heard a burst of gunfire.

Just around the corner was the battle zone, where government troops and rebels were locked in fierce combat across the street, bullets whizzing like a torrential downpour.

Every now and then, a grenade or shell would fly in and land on the ground or on the houses on either side.

The explosion sent debris flying everywhere!

In such a chaotic environment where bullets are flying everywhere, one could easily be killed by stray bullets if one is not careful, and even be injured by falling rocks if one is not wearing a helmet.

Not to mention the parabolic trajectory of the shells, which is like a lottery for the convoy.

Those with bad luck could be blown up at any time.

No one wants to die for no reason, so they don't want to get involved in this chaotic battle, including the government soldiers escorting the convoy.

They barged into the combat zone in a chaotic manner, which really gave the government soldiers a big fright.

Seeing the constant gunfire and the extremely dangerous situation ahead, the government officer in the co-driver's vehicle immediately shouted over the radio, "Retreat! Retreat now!!!"

The government soldier driving the vehicle quickly maneuvered it, preparing to shift into reverse and reverse rapidly.

"Quick! Back up! Back up!"

Upon hearing the announcement on the car radio and the intense gunfire outside, the ambassador could no longer contain his emotions and anxiously urged the driver to hurry up.

All four cars reversed, preparing to back up to the intersection behind them, turn around, and go to the other side.

pity.

The convoy reversed in less than five seconds, and the last car was already far from the intersection when the rebels who had caught up blocked their way with their vehicles.

Because the enemy forces were fighting ahead, the rebels dared not get too close.

They parked the car nearly 100 meters away, blocking the crucial intersection where they were reversing out, and the rebels got out and began setting up their guns.

The rebels weren't in a hurry to start fighting; they were putting on a show for someone else.

Tell someone to mind their own business!

When the evacuation convoy saw that their retreat route was blocked, even the most composed military officer panicked and lost his composure.

Helpless yet desperate, he shouted, "Contact the warships immediately! Quickly, we need support!"

The armed police escort team, which was responsible for escorting and contacting the suspects, was a group of well-trained professional soldiers and immediately responded to the situation.

One person was responsible for contacting the Yangzhou warship docked in the port using the vehicle's radio.

The remaining armed police all got out of the vehicles and followed orders to establish a defensive line on the spot. They worked in an orderly manner, one in front and one behind, using the vehicles as cover to build a defensive line to prevent the rebel soldiers from rushing up.

However, the number of rebels was simply too large; the six or seven vehicles together carried at least forty people.

Furthermore, the vehicles in the evacuation convoy were all civilian vehicles, which had no bulletproof capability whatsoever and were no different from tofu in the face of bullets.

At this point, the vehicle was overloaded with people, packed so tightly that there was almost no space between them.

If a bullet were to penetrate the vehicle and fly inside, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Most importantly, the government army squad ahead of them has been suppressed by the rebels on the other side and is in a completely passive and defensive situation.

The government soldiers looked like walls in a storm, ready to collapse at any moment.

If the government forces in front collapse, the rebels ahead will advance and, in coordination with the rebels behind, the evacuation convoy will be caught in a pincer movement.

If they remain in the middle of the road, even with the power to turn the world upside down, there will be no other way.

Realizing that the situation was out of control and that continuing to drive away was impossible, the most urgent task was to find a way to save their own lives.

Self-defense requires more solid and powerful cover, at least the kind that bullets can't penetrate.

The commander of the armed police squad was inflexible and determined to maintain control of the vehicle for evacuation.

Instead, he decisively ordered, "We can't be stuck here. We need to leave. We need more solid cover. Everyone get out of the vehicles immediately and quickly hide in the buildings to await the arrival of the warship's rescue force! Hurry!"

The armed police squad is a well-trained elite force, and everyone knows what they are supposed to do.

At the command of the armed police, one of the officers immediately ran to the five-story building on the right side of the street to scout out the situation.

Two other armed police officers ran to the van and guided the people inside to enter the building on the right.

"One at a time, quick!"

"Come with me, quick, this way."

Two armed police officers worked together seamlessly, one leading the way and the other directing traffic at the door, leading the people out of the car in an orderly fashion.

A dozen or so embassy staff members entered the building one after another by climbing through the windows.

The armed police commander continued running back to the SUV in the third parking space and said to the armed police officers guarding the area, "You take the ambassador away, I'll take care of this."

"Understood, Ambassador. Come, follow me."

The armed police officer held his gun in one hand to maintain vigilance, while the other hand gripped the ambassador's shoulder, pushing him forward until they reached the window leading into the building.

A rebel soldier on lookout on the roof saw the embassy convoy of cars enter the building.

The phone was used to report: "The embassy convoy has given up on evacuation, and all Chinese nationals and the ambassador are now hiding in the factory."

……

On the Yangzhou at the distant port of Oharfa, the communications officer received a distress call from the embassy convoy and immediately relayed the situation to Captain Zhang.

It was learned that more than a dozen embassy staff members, as well as the ambassador, had been attacked by rebels and were now forced to take refuge in a factory building by the roadside.

Captain Zhang realized the seriousness of the situation, and his face instantly turned grim.

He immediately picked up the phone and made the call.

"Ding ding ding..."

The phone in the combat readiness room rang!

The eight members of the Yanlong team, fully armed and on standby in the combat readiness room at level one, all turned their attention to the telephone.

Then all eyes switched and focused on Jackie Chan.

His eyes held anticipation, excitement, and nervousness!

Jackie Chan knew what was going to happen and was mentally prepared. He strode over in three large strides, picked up the microphone, and said, "This is Yanlong!"

"Jackie Chan, our ship just received a distress call from Ambassador He Qingliu. He and the last group of Chinese nationals were attacked during their evacuation, and the Ivia government is temporarily unable to provide troops for rescue."

However, they have allowed our troops to enter the city to carry out rescue operations and provide transportation support to get them directly to the port.

This is a daunting task that only your special operations team can accomplish.

I now order you to lead the entire Yanlong team, immediately with equipment and supplies, into the city to rescue the trapped ambassador and overseas Chinese.

"Mission accomplished!"

Jackie Chan had been waiting for this moment, and he gave a powerful and resounding response.

After hanging up the phone, he addressed his team members: "Brothers, we've got a big job. We need to enter the city to rescue the ambassador and the overseas Chinese. Are you confident you can complete the mission?"

"have!"

Wu Zhe and the other six team members answered in unison.

"Speak louder!" Jackie Chan shouted.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The Yanlong team members shouted three times in succession, their momentum unstoppable.

"Okay, keep it up."

Jackie Chan was very satisfied with the team's morale and waved his hand, giving the order: "Let's go!"

……

To prevent rebel attacks on this important port, the Ivia government had already deployed a large number of troops to guard the port and provided very convenient transportation.

The inability to provide personnel for rescue was also due to concerns that the port would be undefended and vulnerable to attack by the rebels.

The government troops guarding the port already have military vehicles; they just need to free up a few of those vehicles for the Yanlong team's rescue operation.

If we can't send in the army to help with the rescue, we can just send a few drivers to drive the vehicles.

The rest can be left to the Flame Dragon Team!
