Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 412 exposed

Upon entering, there was a small hall with a locked iron gate and a rebel soldier sitting nearby.

"I'm here to deliver food."

Kanar told him the news without any expression on her face.

As an ordinary citizen, this performance was quite good; he didn't reveal anything wrong, and his expression showed no abnormality.

Xu Sanduo, on the other hand, was more nervous, worried that the rebel soldiers would notice something was wrong.

The rebel soldiers by the door didn't speak. Under the watchful eyes of Xu Sanduo and Xia Lan, who were trying to appear normal, they got up, opened the lid of the wooden bucket, and took a look.

Seeing that the food inside was all bland and watery, he immediately lost all interest.

He casually tossed the lid aside and used the key to open the iron gate.

Xu Sanduo, who had been on edge and prepared to act at any moment, relaxed a little upon seeing this situation.

Carrying the bucket, they followed Kanar into the iron gate where the hostages were being held.

"Squeak—Bang!"

Xu Sanduo and his two companions had just gone inside when the rebel soldiers closed the door again.

Perhaps because it was too much trouble, it wasn't locked.

The environment inside wasn't too bad; it was similar to the houses where ordinary people lived outside, except there was no furniture, and hostages with miserable faces were sitting everywhere.

There were more than twenty people, men and women, young and old, who showed no expression when they saw Xu Sanduo and his two companions enter; their expressions were empty and wooden.

The three local women who brought the food were truly meaningless to the hostages.

We can neither harm them nor save them.

They didn't show any desire for the food in Xu Sanduo's hands.

After all, they had only been captured for less than a day, and they weren't hungry at all, so they had no desire to eat. What they longed for more was to escape.

Kanar did not show any displeasure or impatience when he saw that the hostages did not come to beg for food.

Instead, they helped Xu Sanduo open the food bucket and started filling plates with the food inside. It was an unknown mushy food, and a meal consisted of a cornbread.

After packing it up, it was handed to Xu Sanduo and Xia Lan, who were responsible for delivering it to the hostages.

This would allow the two to seamlessly connect the mission, enabling them to find Deng Mei among the hostages and complete the substitution.

Xu Sanduo, as a professional special forces soldier, naturally performed admirably.

Very stable!

Xia Lan's performance was also surprisingly outstanding. It was the first time she had secretly worked under the enemy's nose, and she did not give herself away in her actions or expressions.

The hostages were all dejected and in low spirits, and no one paid much attention to the three "local women".

This gave Xu Sanduo and Xia Lan enough space to search and compare the hostages one by one in the hostage camp, and I didn't have to worry about being exposed.

The self-managed prison cell has a T-shaped structure, extending to the left and right after entering.

Xu Sanduo and Xia Lan distributed meals in the middle passage but did not find Deng Mei. They continued searching forward, each taking charge of one side.

I didn't see it at first, until I reached the very end.

Xu Sanduo was even luckier, finding his target Deng Mei, who was cowering in the deepest part of the corridor out of fear.

When Deng Mei saw Xu Sanduo suddenly appear in front of her, she was startled and took a few steps back.

"Don't be afraid!"

Xu Sanduo quickly removed the mask from his face, revealing a face with the same yellow skin and black eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm from the Chinese Navy. I came here specifically to rescue you. Please do as I say, okay?"

Deng Mei's pupils, which had been filled with fear, immediately lit up with light upon hearing the words "ZG Navy," replaced by intense hope and longing.

……

Central Square.

Zhuang Yan and Shi Dafan disguised themselves as rebel soldiers and carefully explored and gathered information in the square. Zhuang Yan had already arrived at the parking area on the east side.

There are many cars parked here in a scattered manner.

This includes, but is not limited to, trucks, pickups, sedans, SUVs, and off-road vehicles.

The evacuation required large vehicles with some defenses, so pickup trucks were ignored, and there were rebel soldiers nearby for off-road vehicles and SUVs.

There were only large trucks used for loading goods, not much comfort, and no rebel soldiers were around.

The trucks used by these rebels were all stolen from the army, and they were of pretty good quality; some were even bulletproof.

Zhuang Yan selected the trucks as his targets and began to inspect them one by one.

Even someone over 1.8 meters tall doesn't need to climb onto the truck; they can simply stand by the door and glance inside to see what's happening inside.

The main thing to do is check if there is anyone in the car, and then check if the keys are left inside.

Although there were no rebel soldiers in the first car, the doors were closed and the keys were not inside, making it less than ideal.

Zhuang Yan decisively chose to abandon this truck and move on to inspect the next one.

We were lucky this time!

The doors of the crane trucks were all open, the keys were still in the ignition, and there were no rebel soldiers on or near the trucks.

Zhuang Yan felt that this opportunity was rare, and if he missed it, it would be difficult to get another one.

So he simply climbed onto the car, started the engine, and drove it out of the square. He drove the car back and parked it near Jackie Chan.

However, after getting in the car and turning left to make a U-turn, Zhuang Yan saw the arched gate ahead and changed his mind again.

The central square is the heart of the town of Basem. The rebel command center is located right next to the square, and most of the rebels are concentrated there.

The square has only two exits.

One exit has three arches leading to the hostage camp, while the other has only one arch, leading south to the other side of the river.

When Zhuang Yan saw that there was only one archway at the exit of the square, he immediately had a bold idea.

That means driving the car back, having the old man turn it into a bomb, then driving the truck back and hiding it near the archway.

If Plan B is required unexpectedly, then drive over and block the archway.

The truck exploded, and the archway collapsed.

Although the rebels could get out through the houses next door, their vehicles would be blocked in the square.

No matter how many people, how many vehicles, or even how powerful the tanks are, it doesn't matter. Two legs can never catch up with four legs.

Zhuang Yan felt that the idea was highly feasible and immediately reported it to Jackie Chan.

Although Plan A doesn't require Zhuang Yan's move, if Plan B is to be executed, Zhuang Yan's move would be a stroke of genius.

Prepare in advance, for better times than never.

Jackie Chan immediately agreed to Zhuang Yan's idea and asked Lao Pao to cooperate with him in making car bombs, and the vehicles used for evacuation were replaced with armored vehicles.

Wu Zhe, who was installing the antenna outside, was asked to go back to the back of the hillside and drive the car over.

Based on time...

Wu Zhe ran to the other side of the mountain and drove the car over. If the operation had gone smoothly by then, Deng Mei would have already been picked up and would be able to get in the car and leave.

If the operation does not go smoothly and Plan B is switched to, armored vehicles can also be used to force a breakout.

A perfect win-win situation!

When Jackie Chan issued a new set of orders, the plan was slightly adjusted, and the veterans who had been idle and waiting for orders, as well as Wu Zhe, were thrown into new work.

The Yanlong team's operation went smoothly, while the rebels also made new moves.

An elderly man in a black robe and white hair, who appeared to be the leader of the rebels, led a group of elite rebels in uniform and left the central square in Humvees.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yan was lucky enough; if he had been half a minute slower, he would have been in big trouble.

Zhuang Yan also drove away from the square, following the same route as the departing convoy. Zhuang Yan would make a detour midway, which would inevitably be seen by the convoy throughout the entire journey.

The rebel leader sitting in the truck knew everything; he knew perfectly well whether or not he had given the order to leave.

If Zhuang Yan is seen by him, it's tantamount to being exposed.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yan left half a minute early. By the time the leader's convoy set off, Zhuang Yan had already left the square and turned into the path leading to the courtyard.

As this large group of people left by car, the rebels' fighting strength in the square was greatly reduced.

For the Flame Dragon team, who were tasked with rescuing people.

This is fantastic news!

Upon seeing this intelligence, Shi Dafan immediately reported the information to Jackie Chan, detailing that there were 28 people in the departing convoy.

Those who left were all elite rebel soldiers, whose combat strength was much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

In terms of numbers alone.

The number of rebels in the town of Basem has decreased by one-fifth compared to before, and its overall defensive capabilities have decreased by at least one-quarter.

Combat is like operating a sewing machine; if the enemy is weak, I will be strong, which means the Flame Dragon Team's success rate has increased by 25%.

However, the battlefield is ever-changing and unpredictable.

Just as good news arrived, bad news came crashing down from the sky.

"Captain, we've lost contact with the warship. I'm checking it now and don't know the cause yet. We're working hard to repair it and can't drive the vehicle. Over."

Jackie Chan had just given Wu Zhe instructions to install the anti-jamming device and then drive the car back.

Since Wu Zhe is unable to move, Jackie Chan has to think of another way. After counting the number of people, he found that the manpower was indeed quite tight.

Xu Sanduo has entered the hostage camp, Shi Dafan is monitoring the situation in the central square, Cheng Cai has taken up a high point to observe, Zhuang Yan is preparing to ride the car bomb with Lao Pao, and Wu Zhe is still repairing the radio.

Besides Jackie Chan, the only other manpower available now is machine gunner Wu Liuyi.

Although a battle might break out later and machine gunners would be urgently needed to provide firepower, the only option for now is to send Wu Liuyi to drive the car.

As the leader and soul of the team, Jackie Chan certainly cannot leave this place at this most crucial moment.

Jackie Chan arranged for Wu Liuyi to drive the car over, but then he suddenly remembered something that had happened in the original storyline, so he quickly contacted Wu Zhe again.

"Hey, Hoe, do you think there might be a problem with the antenna? Twelve is also going to drive there, so you two can go together and check the antenna on the mountaintop. Be very careful and see if it's caused by human error."

Jackie Chan recalled an incident from the original storyline and relayed it to Wu Zhe in a different tone.

In the original storyline, there was a mischievous boy who was probably one of the boy scouts recruited by the rebels, and somehow ended up on the mountain.

An antenna was discovered on the mountain, and the curious handling of it caused the signal to be interrupted.

When the communications officer went up to repair the antenna, he was discovered by the hiding Boy Scouts, who then called the rebels, causing the perfect operation to be aborted halfway.

Jackie Chan is worried that this will happen again because the law of cause and effect is very strong in the world of film and television.

The trajectory of events cannot be easily altered!

of course.

Jackie Chan couldn't directly tell Wu Zhe that there must be someone on the mountain, and that he had to find and eliminate them, and absolutely not let him make the phone call.

This is really too weird, and there may not even be any Boy Scouts.

All we can do is remind Wu Zhe to pay special attention to this aspect and see if we can eliminate this potential hazard.

With Jackie Chan's orders and reminders, Wu Zhe and Wu Liuyi returned to the mountaintop they had come from.

With Jackie Chan's warning, the two walked around the mountain for a while but didn't find anyone else, so they had to give up and go about their own business.

Wu Liuyi went down the mountain and took charge of driving, while Wu Zhe went to repair the damaged antenna.

When Wu Zhe arrived at the spot where the antenna had been placed, he found that the antenna had indeed fallen over, and the stone that had been pressing down on the antenna had rolled to the side.

But was it caused by human intervention or by the wind?

Wu Zhe really couldn't tell.

The ground was so dry and hard, covered with small stones, that it was impossible to see any traces at a glance, greatly limiting the ability to trace anything.

In addition, this is a very critical period, and the lost communications urgently need to be restored as soon as possible.

Wu Zhe could only put aside the question of whether it was man-made or natural for the time being and try to fix the new line first.

I don't know.

Just as Wu Zhe was focused on repairing the antenna, a small, dark head retracted from behind a rock fifty meters away on the other side of the hill.

Behind the rock was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, who took out a Nokia phone from his pocket and dialed a small-time boss in the town below.

soon.

Just minutes after leaving the town of Basem, less than five kilometers into the journey, the rebel leader's cell phone rang while he was sitting in a white Land Rover.

"My eyes, which I had placed on the mountain, spotted two Chinese soldiers on the summit of the back mountain," said the junior leader who received the report from the Boy Scouts.

Upon hearing the report, the white-bearded, black-robed rebel leader's eyes flashed with furious rage.

He did not immediately order a return, seemingly because he had a more important mission to carry out, and also believed that a few ZG soldiers could not cause any trouble here.

Therefore, he cruelly ordered: "They must have come to rescue someone. Execute that ZG woman immediately and let them save a dead person."

Also, notify the people on the hill in the port and instruct them to attack the ZG warships, so they know what the price will be for not cooperating with us.

The rebel leader was so confident, to the point of arrogance, that he dared to openly provoke them.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After hanging up the phone, the leader immediately began calling in men to carry out the orders.

The leader was unaware that ZG soldiers had infiltrated the town of Basem and officially launched a rescue operation, which was now halfway through.

Therefore, the notification was not immediately sent down to put everyone into combat readiness.

He simply ordered two of his men to immediately go to the hostage camp, bring Deng Mei out, and take her to the command center to film a video of her beheading as punishment.
