Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 399 Close-Range Firefight (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Car bomb! Stop it! Don't let it rush over!"

The government soldiers on the roadside defense line saw the car roaring towards them and immediately guessed its intentions.

While loudly reminding his teammates to focus fire, he, filled with fear, had already aimed and fired first.

"Da da da da..."

One gun fired, followed by dozens of guns.

Within just two or three seconds of the pickup truck rushing towards it, dozens of bullets struck the front of the vehicle, leaving the entire front end a gruesome sight, almost riddled with holes.

The young civilian driver died on the spot, his head smashed beyond recognition by bullets.

However, the car had already picked up speed, and the young civilian had tensed all his muscles, refusing to let go of the steering wheel even if he were to be shot.

Therefore, the pickup truck did not veer off course and crash into the roadside building because it was unmanned.

Driven by immense inertia, it continued rushing towards the obstacles at the intersection, finally crashing into the government army's bunker with a bang.

"Run!!! Run!!!"

The government soldiers' expressions changed drastically, and they all shouted and ran away from their positions.

That's how fast they escaped.

I just hate that my parents don't have two more legs!

However, all of this was in vain. The black-turbaned rebel leader had already been watching the pickup truck's every move with a remote control in hand.

Seeing that the pickup truck had successfully crashed into the government army's position, he immediately pressed the remote control to detonate it.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar shook the earth and mountains.

With a burst of orange flame, several meters in diameter, violently exploding from the pickup truck's center, the government forces' frontline position vanished.

The sandbags that were lying on the road as obstacles were blown open, creating a gap of nearly ten meters.

From the perspective of the roof lining, a large crater appeared in the very center of the intersection, surrounded by dust and smoke stirred up by the shockwave.

It spread outwards like rolling dark clouds, completely submerging the surrounding streets.

Several government soldiers who were slower to run were thrown out of the air by the explosion, and none of them were intact when they landed.

It's not like I'm missing an arm or a leg.

Even government soldiers who were far away and reacted quickly, running 20 meters away, were seriously injured in this wave of explosions.

Under the high-speed shockwave of thousands of meters per second, these soldiers were blown away like leaves in a gale.

It either fell to the ground or hit a car.

None of them had an easy time!

"What's going on? Why is there such a loud noise? Did it explode?"

Wu Zhe, who was searching inside the house, was terrified by the loud noise as dust fell from the roof and the house shook.

Jackie Chan could guess what had happened, but he couldn't say it directly.

After all, he was also inside the house.

So, pretending not to know, he went through the motions and asked over the radio, "Calling Group Two, report immediately what's happening outside? Over."

"Second team received. There has been a car bomb attack. Government troops' checkpoints have been destroyed, and soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Over." Cheng Cai reported.

"This is bad. Without the government troops to hold them off, the rebels will definitely rush over," Wu Zhe said, frowning.

"We don't have much time left, we must speed up the search."

Even though Jackie Chan knew how the plot was progressing, he didn't want to lead his team to fight an entire rebel army. So he issued a new order: "Group Three, try to break through and help the government forces hold off the rebels."

Group Two, reinforce firepower and provide long-range fire support for government forces.

The evacuation point is just across the street. We absolutely cannot let the government forces' lines collapse. Until we find Ambassador He, we still need them to hold the line for us.

"All three sets received!"

"Group Two received!"

Wu Liuyi and Cheng Cai answered in turn.

……

at the same time.

On a highway outside the city, dozens of kilometers away, two convoys were engaged in a fierce chase.

Leading the way was a minivan, filled with men, women, and children, including a middle-aged man with white hair whose face was unusually pale.

Following closely behind was a Land Rover Defender SUV, inside which sat four armed white men.

A suit, sunglasses, and leather shoes.

He's dressed like a bodyguard!

Following behind were an open-top jeep and a pickup truck, both filled with turbaned rebel soldiers who kept firing at the vehicles.

The four bodyguards in the second car were sitting backwards and firing at each other.

The two sides fought as they ran through the streets; the battle was extremely dangerous.

The bodyguards were already performing at their limit, constantly suppressing the rebel vehicles behind them, making the billiard balls rattle, and forcing them to move left and right to avoid being hit.

Unfortunately, their numbers were far fewer than the pursuing rebels, and their vehicles were also much inferior in performance.

The main problem is that the car in front is less likely to shoot at those behind, while the two rebel cars chasing behind have better shooting conditions.

This resulted in the chase lasting less than five minutes.

Something terrible has happened!

During the relentless pursuit and firing by the rebels, a bullet happened to fly in and pierced the back of the driver's seat, injuring the driver in front.

The driver died in a fit of intense pain, and lost control of his body, jerking the steering wheel violently.

The Land Rover Defender, which was originally driving straight along the road, suddenly made a sharp left turn. At high speeds, such a sharp turn would inevitably cause it to overturn.

The Land Rover Defender rolled off the road like a tumbleweed.

None of the four bodyguards inside the car were wearing seatbelts. They were all thrown out during the rollover and swayed around like rags.

They continued to pursue the passing rebel soldiers, and did not let the four bodyguards go.

"Da da da da da..."

A few bursts of bullets swept through, and the bodyguards who had fallen to the ground were all turned into mangled flesh.

When the people in the van saw that all the bodyguards were gone and they had no one to rely on, their psychological defenses were completely broken, and they were all consumed by fear.

Driven by their terrified will to survive, they shouted towards the driver's cab.

"They're dead, all the bodyguards are dead, run!"

"Faster, drive faster!"

"They're catching up! Run! I don't want to die here."

……

The passengers in the car were shouting and urging them to hurry up. The driver was equally anxious and had already shifted the gear to the highest position, almost pressing the accelerator with his foot.

Unfortunately, this minivan had limited horsepower and was severely overloaded, so it couldn't go fast at all.

Not to mention shaking off the rebel vehicles behind them!

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..."

The driver frantically pounded the steering wheel with both hands, but the car could only go up to about 90 km/h, as if it were locked and couldn't go any higher.

Without the interference of bodyguards, the rebel vehicles chasing behind were able to pursue at an even faster pace than before.

As the two sides drew closer, the chances of the rebels' bullets hitting the van increased, and the bullets clanged against the vehicle.

Those sitting in the car felt a chill run down their spines when they heard that the carriage had been hit.

I feel like death is just around the corner!

In fact, death was already imminent. Less than two minutes after the bodyguard was killed, the rebels' pickup truck caught up to him within twenty meters.

With a barrage of bullets, the left rear wheel of the van finally gave way.

It had already been hit once and dragged for nearly two minutes. Now it was hit again, and the tire exploded with a bang.

It wasn't blown apart by the force of the bullet, but rather destroyed by its own air pressure.

The tires were blown off, leaving only the steel rims. The van sped along, sparking and flashing, and quickly veered off the curb.

After driving erratically for several dozen meters, a very steep embankment suddenly appeared in front of it, and the van plunged headfirst down it.

……

Turning our attention back to the factory, the situation has escalated to an urgent point.

The rebels, who had successfully blown up the government forces' defenses, swarmed in from all directions like locusts, rushing across the intersection toward the factory.

Along the way, people were constantly directing traffic and blocking all the intersections near the factory.

The remaining people were given unified command and headed straight for the factory gate.

Judging from this series of attacks, the rebels, despite their varied clothing and weapons, seemed like a mob.

That's not actually the case.

The rebels have clearly undergone professional training. Although the training period was not very long, they already possess basic qualities and have a certain level of execution and action capability.

The rebels who rushed towards the factory gate with their leader were clearly more professional, as evidenced by their gun handling, and were considered elite members of the rebel army.

Bullets are indiscriminate; anyone hit in a vital area dies instantly.

These rebels have basic military skills. If given the opportunity to aim, they could easily take down any member of the Flame Dragon Team in such close proximity indoors.

Including Jackie Chan, who is considered the "most muscular"!

For Jackie Chan and his team, who are currently conducting a full-scale search for overseas Chinese and, most importantly, Ambassador He, a real danger of death has already arrived.

Even if Jackie Chan had the eye of God, he would still die here if he wasn't careful during the search.

The remaining government troops, armed police, and three groups are now pinned down at the north entrance of the factory and are unable to intercept the advancing rebels.

They could only let the rebels charge in.

Unlike Jackie Chan and his team, who conducted their search in complete secrecy due to concerns about potential incursions by rebels in the factory and the possibility of being ambushed if their location was exposed.

The rebels who stormed in had no scruples; they kicked the door open without hesitation.

Once inside, he acted like a madman, running around shouting and yelling while brandishing a gun, constantly threatening and intimidating others.

The general idea was that the Chinese should obediently leave, and they would guarantee not to kill them.

Otherwise, if they find out, they will definitely be severely punished.

The factory wasn't particularly big or small. A large group of chubby soldiers rushed in all directions, shouting various things, their voices echoing throughout every corner of the factory.

Jackie Chan and his three companions heard it clearly, and their search operation became even more cautious.

The entire group of overseas Chinese, huddled in a cramped office, with several armed police officers holding Type 95 rifles standing guard at the door, could hear everything clearly.

Thinking that so many rebels were rushing up, while he only had five armed police officers left to protect him.

The troops sent to provide support from the warship were unable to make contact because the armed police did not carry portable radio communication equipment, and they had no idea where the troops had arrived.

The rescue team had absolutely no information, but the rebels could already clearly hear the shouts.

This pushed the already tense and frightened overseas Chinese to the brink of collapse. Their faces turned as pale as paper, and cold sweat even broke out on their foreheads and noses.

None of them wanted to die, but they had reached a point where there was nothing they could do.

Jackie Chan and his team, who were the last hope for these overseas Chinese to save them from their plight, had already searched the second floor of the North Building.

This is from the rooftop down to the fifth floor, and we've already searched the first building.

Neither the overseas Chinese nor Ambassador He were found.

Jackie Chan could only lead the emergency search and rescue team to search the entire factory, building by building, until they found the target.

Although searching this way is much less efficient than shouting at the top of your lungs.

But in reality, you can't shout, you can only do this.

Putting aside the possibility that there might be rebels inside the house, shouting would expose the location of the search and rescue team and the overseas Chinese, ruining the plan to quietly search for and rescue them.

Even if the overseas Chinese and Ambassador He heard about it, they would most likely not come out like that.

Chinese people have known since childhood about a tactic in military strategy called deception, and the fairy tale of the Big Bad Wolf is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

The expatriates would certainly worry that it was the rebels making announcements in an attempt to lure them out.

At that time, the overseas Chinese would not dare to come out rashly, but the rebels would attract a large number of people, and the search and rescue team would be forced into battle, making it impossible to search for and rescue the overseas Chinese.

The second building that Jackie Chan led the emergency search and rescue team to search was a severely damaged multi-purpose building.

For use in dormitories and offices!

Inside were separate rooms, and the most valuable items had long been moved out, leaving only severely damaged empty rooms.

Each floor has a long corridor that connects to another building next door.

Instead of going to the neighboring building first, Jackie Chan and his team decided to search this building first, then go through the fifth floor and search down from the other side.

Although I remember that scene from the movie, I know that all the overseas Chinese were in the same room with the armed police.

Unfortunately, the movie didn't provide any specific details about which building, floor, and location within the factory, so this precognitive memory was of no use to Jackie Chan.

The factory has hundreds of rooms; who knows where that room is?

When they reached the fourth floor, they suddenly heard gunshots coming from the building next door.

And it was extremely intense gunfire!

"Come on~ over there!"

Jackie Chan reacted instantly, realizing that the rebels had found the civilians first, and immediately rushed over following the sound of gunfire.

Meanwhile, a fierce firefight is taking place in the offices on the right side of the third floor.

The firefight broke out when two rebels approached. The armed police realized that if the rebels were allowed to get close to the room, the ensuing battle could harm the overseas Chinese and the ambassador.

The armed police captain had no choice but to take the lead and launch a proactive attack.

Unexpectedly, the armed police, who were unaware of the corner, encountered two other silent rebels as soon as they turned the corner. Both sides were startled and immediately attacked each other.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

"Da da da da..."

In a fierce burst of fully automatic fire, both sides were shot and fell to the ground.
