Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 411 Plan A and Plan B

Wu Zhe trusted Jackie Chan unconditionally, and Jackie Chan didn't hesitate or make excuses.

He immediately began to deploy his forces, saying, "To ensure the operation goes perfectly, we need to implement two plans, A and B, and prepare for both possibilities."

Plan A is the first execution plan, which extends from the core objective of rescuing Deng Mei.

Ms. Kanar is in charge of delivering food to the hostages, which is a very good starting point for us; we can think of a solution from this.

Send a team member disguised as her to accompany her to deliver food to the hostages.

After entering the hostage camp, we will exchange places with Ms. Deng Mei and send her out. Once Ms. Deng Mei returns here, we will immediately send her away.

We will return here once Ms. Deng Mei arrives at the support point.

We'll wait until the enemy relaxes their guard late at night, then launch our operation, ambush the hostages, rescue the team members who were swapped in, and leave from the rear.

If all goes well, the rebels won't notice. By the time they find out the next day, we'll have already all evacuated to government resource points and left by helicopter.

After listening to Cheng Long's Plan A, Wu Zhe felt that the plan was indeed highly feasible.

But there's one major flaw!

"Infiltrating the hostage camp to exchange Deng Mei and pull off a substitution, that's a brilliant idea, but we're all men, and Deng Mei is a woman. How can we exchange her? I should have brought a female team member," Wu Zhe said with a sigh.

"There's no need to worry about that."

Jackie Chan didn't seem to care at all, and confidently laughed, "We have someone who can dress up as a woman, and the women here are used to wearing face masks and headscarves, so it won't be a problem at all if he does it."

"You mean...Sanduo?"

Wu Zhe suddenly realized what was going on and even laughed.

Xu Sanduo himself has a small frame, which is a bit of a disadvantage for men. In addition, Middle Eastern women have larger frames, and it is normal for them to be over 1.6 meters tall.

After giving Xu Sanduo a makeover, with a face mask and headscarf on his head, there was no way to tell that there was anything wrong with him.

One of the mandatory courses for every special forces soldier is infiltration and disguise, which includes disguising oneself as a woman or even an old lady.

As long as the body shape isn't too revealing and the figures aren't too different, makeup is perfectly fine.

"Yes, that's him. You can inform him and make the arrangements after you go downstairs."

After Jackie Chan finished explaining Plan A, he then began to talk about the alternative plan: "Plan B is a backup plan, to be used when Plan A fails."

In case the enemy sees through the disguise, or the plan to switch the prince with a cat fails.

That would inevitably alert all the rebels. We must break through the encirclement with Deng Mei as quickly as possible and disengage from the rebels.

Therefore, before the operation, the gunner needed to withdraw and go outside the town to find a favorable observation point.

"Aren't we going to send a sniper team? One person alone might be under a lot of pressure," Wu Zhe said worriedly.

"We have limited manpower, so we can only send him out to be a lone wolf. Bald-tailed Wolf must stay behind; he has other tasks to perform."

After explaining Wu Zhe's question, Jackie Chan continued to give instructions: "Bald-tailed Wolf and Siberian Wolf, they need to disguise themselves and infiltrate the central square."

The task was to thoroughly investigate the location, equipment, and heavy firepower of all rebel forces within the central square area.

We also need to find suitable evacuation vehicles.

If Plan B needs to be executed, they must take action immediately, cooperating with snipers on the perimeter to take down the enemy's heavy firepower positions.

And if necessary, they can forcibly seize the vehicle and pick us all up to evacuate.

The rest of us stayed here. Once we switched to Plan B, we would immediately join the battle, attack from the outside, and disrupt the enemy's formation.

And you…”

Jackie Chan specifically singled out Wu Zhe and then added, "The rebels are well-equipped. Once the rescue operation switches to Plan B, the rebel soldiers will likely turn on jammers to block all external signals."

I need you to set up jamming devices again to ensure communication for all members of the Flame Dragon Team during their operations.

Communication is the most important key.

Bassem is one of the rebel strongholds, so it's impossible for it not to have jammers, since these things aren't expensive and don't involve much technology.

Getting preventative measures done in advance is absolutely beneficial and has no downsides.

"Okay, I understand."

After listening to Cheng Long's Plan A and B, Wu Zhe confirmed that it was the best solution and needed no further explanation. He then turned to Xia Lan and asked, "What about her?"

"She has basically completed her mission. Now she just needs to stay quiet and wait for the evacuation vehicles to arrive. I will take her with me then," Jackie Chan replied.

Xia Lan hadn't spoken until Jackie Chan finally called on her. Xia Lan volunteered, saying, "I'm not a burden. I can help you too. Let me go, let me go and replace Deng Mei."

"You go change? You're a woman too, it does seem more convenient for you," Wu Zhe said with delight.

"no."

Jackie Chan flatly refused, saying seriously, "Infiltrating in disguise is not child's play. If you give yourself away even slightly, the consequences could be disastrous."

You haven't received any training; I don't believe you can do it well.

Jackie Chan was very straightforward.

Even though Jackie Chan had seen the movie and knew the plot, and was well aware that Deng Mei was indeed a replacement character in the original story, he still didn't want to use Deng Mei to replace her.

Movies often rely heavily on the supporting characters' charisma, but this is a real battlefield, and who knows what unexpected things might happen?

Rather than taking the risk with Xia Lan, Jackie Chan had more faith in Xu Sanduo's abilities and believed that Xu Sanduo could handle things better should an accident occur.

"I can do it, you believe me. My husband and children are dead, I have no fear anymore. I'm willing to die if it means fighting terrorists. Please let me try," Xia Lan pleaded.

"Yeah, Captain, let her give it a try. We're short-handed, and having her free up Sanduo will free up some manpower," Wu Zhe said eagerly from the side.

Wu Zhe's approach was purely from a stable perspective, just like his overly cautious personality.

Wu Zhe thought the safest solution was to free up Xu Sanduo for combat and exchange the "useless" Xia Lan for Deng Mei.

Seeing Wu Zhe's strong recommendation, and with Jackie Chan suddenly having a brilliant idea—

Putting Xia Lan in the hostage camp would indeed be safer.

This way, we won't need to take extra care of him, saving us some energy. Besides, we'll have to go in anyway, so we can bring the disguised Xu Sanduo out and take him with us.

Think of it...

Jackie Chan immediately changed his mind and said with a serious expression, "I still don't trust you, but I can let you come with me. You speak Arabic, so you can step up when needed."

At all other times, you must keep quiet and not act on your own initiative. Can you do that?

Xia Lan only wanted to help in any way she could, to do everything in her power to fight terrorists. She didn't care what she did, as long as she could go.

So she nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do it well, don't worry."

I hope you can keep your word.

Jackie Chan solemnly warned Xia Lan one last time, then turned to Wu Zhe and said, "Make a slight change to Plan A, and have her and Daizi infiltrate together."

When the time comes, we'll use her to exchange for Deng Mei. The idiot will also have to find a way to stay inside. As for the specific method, he'll have to figure it out on the spot.

With one combatant in the hostage camp, the second phase of operations, with coordination between the inside and outside, would be more conducive to the operation.

That's the plan. Now, distribute the tasks and assign them to everyone. Get everyone ready to leave within 20 minutes.

"OK!"

Wu Zhe immediately turned around and ran out.

Jackie Chan then said to Xia Nan, "Go inside and change your clothes to prepare. You know what the operation plan is. Communicate with Ms. Kanar and get her to cooperate with our operation. I'm leaving this matter to you."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Being properly assigned a job made Xia Lan very happy, and she was full of enthusiasm as she quickly walked back to her room.

20 minute later.

Kanar, who was in charge of delivering food, Xu Sanduo, who was dressed in women's clothing and disguised as a woman, and Xia Lan, whose face was covered except for her eyes, all came out of the house.

Load a bucket of vegetables and a bucket of rice onto the pickup truck, and Xu Sanduo will drive it to the hostage camp to deliver the food.

For the first time in actual combat, Xu Sanduo was dressed as a woman, feeling both excited and expectant, with a touch of nervousness.

After all, it was her first time "being a woman"!

If it weren't for the fact that only the eyes were visible, and the entire face and head were completely covered, you could even see that the ears were red.

As Xu Sanduo and his two companions began their operation, the other two groups also set off.

Having changed their clothes, hats, and weapons, and disguised themselves as rebels, Shi Dafan and Zhuang Yan, with strong hearts, walked confidently towards the central square.

As the team's only long-range firepower, Cheng Cai roamed across the rooftops of the town.

Most of the people in the town had been killed by the rebel soldiers, and most of the houses were empty and uninhabited.

This all helped Cheng Cai in a subtle way, allowing him to run around without restraint.

There's absolutely no need to worry about being discovered!

In addition, the unique structure of the town's houses, which are all interconnected, makes it even more convenient for the town's residents to climb and run on the rooftops.

After a few minutes of selection, Cheng Cai finally found a place he was satisfied with.

Finally, they found a well-hidden sniping spot next to a protruding, church-spiral-like structure in the middle of a two-story building.

This location is equivalent to the rooftop on the third floor, making it the tallest structure in the town.

There are other buildings that are just as tall, but they are at most the same height.

Most importantly, this location is very special, as it allows the entire square to be fully included in the field of fire, giving Cheng Cai a wide field of vision.

"Report to the captain, the sharpshooter has arrived at the observation point, the square is under control, over."

Just as Cheng Cai finished his report, Zhuang Yan immediately followed up with his own: "Reporting, Captain, the infiltration team has crossed the archway and is about to enter the hostage camp, while the assault team has entered the central square."

Between the hostage camp and the central square, there is an arched bridge with five arches.

This is the only way to enter the hostage camp from the central square. At this moment, a casual glance reveals rebel soldiers everywhere.

Some were sitting nearby drinking and chatting, some were lying there sunbathing, and others were playing ball together in the open space...

They have all kinds!

On the roof of a nearby flat-roofed house, you can see a young man with an injured leg, lying there sunbathing, his face covered in scars.

Not surprisingly.

He was the scarred sniper who had previously ambushed Jackie Chan and his group on the road, but whose scheme was foiled by the coordinated efforts of the Jackie brothers, leaving him wounded and forced to flee.

Unfortunately, Cheng Cai and the others did not see Scarface's face during the previous battle on the road.

Only Jackie Chan knows him, but Jackie Chan is not outside.

Otherwise, with such a large threatening unit right in front of us, and no precautions taken at all, taking it out with a single shot before the operation would have saved us a lot of trouble.

"These rebels are really rich; they've even hidden several tanks here. This is a real problem for us."

Zhuang Yan, his face covered with a black mask, glanced at the M60A1 main battle tank and the Russian-made T-72B main battle tank by the roadside out of the corner of his eye, feeling a little more pressure.

"Ignore the tanks. They won't be of any use in a densely built-up town. Focus on the transport vehicles; we'll need them," Jackie Chan said.

"There are a lot of cars parked in the square. I'll try to get over there and take a look."

After Zhuang Yan finished replying to Long, he and Shi Dafan split up and went their separate ways, trying to appear natural as they headed towards the area where the vehicles were parked.

Rebel soldiers were everywhere, speaking Arabic that I couldn't understand.

Zhuang Yan had to be as discreet as possible to avoid alerting others.

If he attracts the attention of someone nearby, even if they don't notice anything amiss and just come over to talk to him, it would be a huge disaster for Zhuang Yan.

Because Zhuang Yan doesn't speak Arabic, he would give himself away as soon as he opened his mouth.

To avoid such a catastrophic problem, Zhuang Yan had to remain calm while deliberately avoiding routes frequented by people.

Try to stay within three meters of anyone when you go out.

At the same time, he also reported the information he observed along the way to Jackie Chan via radio.

Meanwhile, Xu Sanduo and his two companions, who were delivering food, had already driven into the hostage camp, where the situation was more complicated than they had imagined.

I thought the hostage camp was just one building, connected to other buildings around it.

Unexpectedly, the hostage camp was converted from a church. There was an open space about ten meters wide around the church, and outside that was a wall more than three meters high.

The church was surrounded by a wall in the middle, with only one entrance at the front.

No wonder Kanar specifically mentioned in his description that there was only one way to enter the Human-shaped Camp, and you had to cross the central square in the middle.

It was protected by a wall more than three meters high, plus a circle of rebel soldiers guarding the church.

Other routes are truly dead ends; even climbing over the wall is impossible.

Fortunately, the rebel soldiers were not very vigilant. Perhaps they had already cleared out the village, and all the men had been killed.

When the rebels saw Kanar bringing food, they didn't even have a chance to question him.

They simply let Kanar carry the food, while Xu Sanduo and Xia Lan followed behind, entering the hostage camp through a side door.
