Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 403 Not One Less

Even Jackie Chan had never encountered such a bizarre bomb. It was one thing to use hollow steel pipes as the outer shell, but after it was made, they actually welded it back together.

After this process, to remove the lead wire, the steel pipe must first be cut open.

If it were in the city, it wouldn't be too difficult. Just call 119 and the firefighters will come and cut it open easily.

But this is Ivia, embroiled in war, and on a fiercely fought battlefield.

Finding suitable cutting tools is extremely difficult.

From a bomb disposal perspective, it's extremely complicated. It's practically impossible to dismantle it on the spot, which explains why the veteran bomber racked his brains trying to figure it out.

but.

A different approach to analysis reveals a whole new world.

Jackie Chan stared at the bomb for a few seconds, then stepped out of the dead end of defusing it and analyzed it from other angles, quickly coming up with a perfect solution.

"Will that thing on his neck still explode?" Jackie Chan asked the veteran actor.

"The person controlling the bomb has been sniped by the sharpshooter, and the detonator was also destroyed. Theoretically, the rebels cannot detonate it again unless they get close enough to search for the signal and re-match it," the veteran said professionally.

"That's good!"

Jackie Chan was now fifty percent certain. He then pointed to the four iron chains connecting the bomb to the man's neck and asked, "Are these chains related to detonating the bomb, or are they just there to secure it?"

"This is an iron lock with the other end attached to the car. The four latches welded on are used to secure the driver's position and prevent him from escaping," the old man explained.

"Since the bomb isn't going to explode, and these chains are just for securing it, why are you trying to defuse it here? You could be hit by bullets at any moment. Why not take the person back and defuse it there?"

"this……"

Jackie Chan's question left the old man speechless for a moment. After his mind came to a head, he couldn't help but slap his forehead and said with a sudden realization, "That's right, just take it with you first, look at my blockhead."

After saying that, he even flattered her, saying, "The captain is really amazing. He saw through the stalemate as soon as he arrived. I'm nothing compared to you, hehe."

"Alright, stop flattering him, let's get him out of here quickly," Jackie Chan urged.

"OK!"

The veteran turned around, took off his personal backpack, and prepared to take out a set of rigging shears to cut the four iron locks attached to the bomb.

"That's too time-consuming, don't bother, move aside."

Jackie Chan wrote that this method of writing "Mr. Six" was too slow, so he grabbed Mr. Six's shoulder and made him step aside, then bent down, reached into the car window, grabbed the iron chain, and pulled hard.

"Crash, bang~"

The iron chain, no bigger than a finger, was forcibly torn apart.

"This works?"

The old man was stunned.

This was a method he had never imagined, and one he simply couldn't do.

Looking at the whole world, and even within the entire Yanlong team, or even this city, the only person who could break chains with his bare hands is probably Jackie Chan.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

While the old man was still in a daze, Jackie Chan had already torn off the remaining three strands.

Then, as easily as catching a chick, they forcibly dragged the skinny old man, who probably weighed less than 100 pounds, out of the car.

"Alright, all done. You take the people away, I'll cover you."

After giving the instructions to the veteran, Jackie Chan added a reminder: "Just in case, take this back and hand it over to the government forces. You don't need to defuse the bomb; the government forces will handle it."

We don't have enough time; we must bring the overseas Chinese back as soon as possible. That's our core task.

"clear!"

The old man understood Jackie Chan's meaning, nodded, and covered the old man's retreat.

Jackie Chan's words made it very clear that we can take time to be good people, but we can't always be good people, and we must not forget our primary job.

Protecting our citizens and ensuring their safe and smooth evacuation is the core task of the Yanlong team, and it cannot be delayed in any way.

"Cover us, cover us, we're coming back, cover us!" the old man shouted over the radio as he ran.

Upon hearing the radio feedback, the sniper team and Wu Liuyi increased their firepower, doing their utmost to strike and suppress the rebels on the other side.

The most formidable force was Jackie Chan, who was at the very front.

"Da da da da da..."

Jackie Chan doesn't need to set up a gun at all; his body is the best gun mount. He can fire a light machine gun like a rifle, and the line of fire remains as steady as a rock.

The bullets he fired seemed to have eyes; wherever Jackie Chan looked, the bullets would hit.

The street where more than a dozen rebel soldiers were located was completely suppressed by Jackie Chan's gun, and not a single rebel soldier had a chance to show their face and fire a shot.

On the other two streets at the intersection, government troops and Wu Liuyi and his men opened fire, but their suppressive power was not as strong as Jackie Chan's.

This shows how terrifying a top-notch machine gunner can be!

Without any enemy interference, Lao Pao successfully brought the old man back and reunited with Wu Liuyi, moving on to the next step.

Following Jackie Chan's orders, they did not attempt to find equipment to defuse the bomb, but instead directly contacted the government army commander.

The old man was handed over to the government troops for processing, and Jackie Chan arrived at that time.

The overseas Chinese and the ambassador have all been rescued and taken to the evacuation point. All the armed police have also been brought back. The elderly people who could be rescued along the way have also been rescued.

The Flame Dragon team has completed all their work; only one thing remains—

This matter is about evacuation!

Therefore, when Jackie Chan returned to the government army's defense line, he first gave Lao Pao and Wu Liuyi the order to evacuate, and told them to move to the more complete area.

Jackie Chan was still issuing instructions over the radio: "Attention all units, evacuate completely and assemble at the evacuation point. Sniper team, come here immediately."

All vehicles at the evacuation point should be started and ready to depart at any time.

As Jackie Chan issued his orders, the Flame Dragon team began its evacuation operation, with the several groups converging at a single point.

Because the rebels along the evacuation route had been cleared, the last team members evacuated very smoothly.

Less than three minutes.

Jackie Chan, Lao Pao, and Wu Liuyi successfully returned to the evacuation point.

Cheng Cai and Shi Dafan's sniper team also rappelled down from the rooftop and returned to the Humvee convoy at the evacuation point.

The overseas Chinese had already been arranged to board the armored vehicles, and the Yanlong team boarded the vehicles one after another, which was confirmed by Jackie Chan.

"Let's go, hurry! To the port!"

At Jackie Chan's command, the Hummer convoy roared to life, like bulls straining their last breath, and charged toward the port.

The Hummer convoy left the factory area where the fighting had taken place, and the sounds of gunfire and explosions gradually faded into the distance.

The convoy has left the extremely dangerous area, and as long as no rebels specifically pursue it, returning to the port is practically a certainty.

However, Jackie Chan, sitting in the command vehicle, showed no sign of backing down.

"The time has come; it's time for the order!"

Jackie Chan timed the events carefully and calculated the plot, knowing what would happen next.

The mission has progressed smoothly so far, which gives Jackie Chan more confidence for the next steps, and he believes he can achieve a perfect completion.

Jackie Chan would always try to make amends for the tragedies that occurred in the original storyline.

If eight members of the Flame Dragon Team come out, all eight of them have to go back.

Not one can be missing!

Just as Jackie Chan was calculating the time, a communication came through the radio headset from the Yangzhou, and it was Captain Zhang Xuebing speaking.

"Calling the Flame Dragon Team, this is the command center. We have just received a message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that a French-Chinese journalist named Xia Lan has contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' 12308 hotline and provided important and urgent information."

The reporter stated that he witnessed the Zarqa organization kidnapping a group of energy company employees, including a Chinese citizen named Deng Mei.

Since they are Chinese citizens, we must rescue them; we cannot leave any behind.

Captain Zhang's tone was very firm, and he clearly expressed his meaning.

There was no compelling reason for French citizen Xia Lan to be saved, but Deng Mei had to be saved, not because she was special, but simply because she was a Chinese citizen.

As a veteran of the Chinese military, Jackie Chan knew that saving the Chinese people was his inescapable responsibility.

Furthermore, through his precognitive "cheat code," he knew that the news Xia Lan mentioned was true and reliable, and that Deng Mei had indeed been kidnapped.

However, he needs to know as much more information as possible before officially deciding to set off.

"Do you have any more specific information?" Jackie Chan asked.

"We have made contact with Xia Lan and confirmed her identity. Regarding other aspects, our superiors are still coordinating with the Ivia government to see if they can send their helicopters and support troops to carry out this rescue together."

Our determination in this mission is to let terrorist organizations know that not a single Chinese person can be harmed.

After saying that, Captain Zhang immediately ordered: "Now that you are out of danger, the government forces have dispatched troops to welcome the overseas Chinese back to the port."

Flame Dragon Team, I order you to depart immediately and proceed to the nearby rendezvous point to replenish your supplies. Ammunition, supplies, and parachute suits will be delivered later.

Government army drivers will take you there; please make sure you are prepared before the operation.

"Flame Dragon Team received, over."

After ending communication with Captain Zhang of the Yangzhou, Jackie Chan didn't even need to give instructions to the government army drivers; the convoy split in two at a fork in the road.

Three Humvees took the small road on the right to head to a nearby rendezvous point for resupply and preparation.

Two armored vehicles filled with expatriates were heading towards the port from the left-hand road. Less than 1 kilometer ahead, a convoy of government troops was coming to meet them.

The Yanlong team drove forward for about 2 kilometers and entered an underground tunnel.

The tunnel has been converted into a temporary military fortress by the government forces, with checkpoints set up at both entrances and exits.

If you drive the car into the tunnel and stop, that's the best air-raid shelter.

Gathering and preparing here is indeed a good idea.

The government army driver stopped the car, and the members of the Yanlong team got out of the car to get some fresh air. After this battle, the condition of each team member had changed.

The old man wasn't in a good mood; he seemed off the whole way here.

Jackie Chan noticed that something was wrong with him and didn't want him to get into a dead end, so he came over and said to him, "As a fourth-level sergeant major and a veteran of more than ten years, this is not the kind of emotion you should be showing."

If you say you're scared or frightened, I'll just think it's a joke.

Chatting is a great way to relieve stress.

"Of course, this little bit of equipment doesn't scare me. I'm just thinking that if I had more complete equipment, even just a small handsaw, I could have disarmed the bomb instead of being helpless," the old man said, frustrated.

As a top-notch demolition expert, failing to defuse a mere homemade bomb is, in a way, quite disheartening.

Being frustrated in your area of ​​expertise would affect anyone's mood.

The most striking thing is that in the end, it was Jackie Chan, a non-professional, who solved the problem, and he did it very easily. That's what's most disheartening.

"Actually, you don't need to feel pressured, because I am also a professional demolition expert. It's just that the team needs a commander and a heavy machine gunner more than a demolition expert, so I became a commander and heavy firepower operator."

Jackie Chan did not try to comfort the veteran directly, but instead used his own strength to offer indirect comfort.

The team members were already used to Jackie Chan's strength and his excellence in every aspect, so adding another professional demolition expert wouldn't be out of place at all.

really.

When Lao Pao Tiandao Chenglong said this, his expression improved significantly, and he even smiled and teased, "Captain, you really are a hidden talent. I've known you for so long, and I never realized it."

"My abilities extend deep into the ocean; this is just the tip of the iceberg."

Jackie Chan joked around in a boastful way, making the atmosphere more pleasant and relaxed, and then added more pressure: "There are always more solutions than problems. In fact, there are always more problems than solutions."

We can't be perfect, just do our best. Don't put any pressure on yourself; we have more important tasks ahead.

As Jackie Chan spoke, he patted the old man's shoulder heavily, so heavily that the old man could barely stand.

The veteran, who stumbled a few times after being hit, seemed to feel the power in those heavy blows, and the gloom on his face vanished.

He deliberately grimaced and cried out in pain, "Captain, you hit me way too hard! If you hit me a couple more times, I think I'll have my bones shattered!"

"Tch, you old, dried-up piece of meat, don't try to act all innocent in front of me." Jackie Chan gave him the middle finger in disdain.

On the other side, Cheng Cai and Shi Dafan collaborated for the first time, a true collaboration, and their collaboration was very pleasant and harmonious. Wu Ding killed more than ten enemies in one battle, and the two developed a mutual respect for each other.

Now that we're here waiting for orders from our superiors, we have plenty of time to brag.

The two of them were exchanging compliments, praising each other's excellence and constantly extolling each other's strengths—a full-blown business matchmaking session.

Cheng Cai went all out, inviting Shi Dafan to join Team A and form an ace duo with him.

As the core of Lone Wolf Group B, Shi Dafan was naturally not going to be tricked into joining Team A. Even if he wanted to, Lone Wolf would not let him go.

Shi Dafan was well aware of this, and fortunately, he had a tactful mind.

He steered the conversation towards "I'll definitely do it sometime," then smoothly changed the subject, thus defusing the situation.
