Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 415 One-on-One Main Battle Tank Battle

Due to various missions, the Flame Dragon team is now scattered in different areas of the town of Basem, searching for an evacuation route centered around Deng Mei.

It's like each of them fighting their own battle!

Jackie Chan needs to know the situation of each team member so that he can adjust the action framework in a timely manner, make the best real-time plans, and ensure that the success rate of the rescue operation can be maximized. Therefore, he asks each team member to report on their situation.

Despite the intense battle, the team members were still able to report to Jackie Chan.

"I'm a sharpshooter, and I've run into a sniper. He's locked onto my position at very close range. I've lost my firing position and can't provide cover. I'm trying to figure out how to escape and counterattack."

Cheng Cai was targeted by the scarred sniper. His hiding position was too special, so he could only rely on his teammates to get him out of trouble.

That's how it is among top snipers; whoever is exposed first will be put on the defensive. It has nothing to do with skill or experience; it's purely a matter of who comes first.

"That guy is tough to deal with, be careful. I'll try to provide you with cover."

As Jackie Chan spoke, he raised his head and, using Cheng Cai's location as a reference point, searched the buildings opposite him, trying to find the location of the scarred sniper.

Cheng Cai chose a very well-hidden location, and there were very few shooting spots that could hit him.

By working backward from Cheng Cai's position and looking for shooting points from a sniper's perspective, we can find Scarface's location.

Scarface must have been at the right shooting position to pose a sufficient threat to Cheng Cai.

Unfortunately, the scarred sniper was a top-notch expert who understood the techniques of sniper duels and did not make any mistakes at this moment.

They chose to be cautious and fire once, then move to a more concealed corner.

Jackie Chan couldn't find any suspected locations, but a new report has arrived.

"I'm an idiot, Deng Mei and Xia Lan are safe..."

Xu Sanduo was speaking when he suddenly turned his gun to the left and saw two rebel soldiers rushing towards him. Xu Sanduo reacted quickly and killed them instantly.

Having dealt with the emerging danger, Xu Sanduo and Shi Dafan continued to protect the hostages as they advanced.

Xu Sanduo continued his report: "We are currently retreating along the buildings to the west, and the enemy is hot on our heels..."

Just then.

Suddenly, a group of armed rebel soldiers ran out from around the corner of the corridor directly ahead.

"Clap clap clap".

A burst of gunfire rang out.

Xu Sanduo's reaction speed still far surpassed that of the rebels. The rebel soldiers who ran over had barely seen Xu Sanduo when bullets were already flying towards them.

The rebel soldiers in front fell down, and those behind immediately hid.

They found suitable cover on the spot and blocked Xu Sanduo's only way back, firing in various ways.

Xu Sanduo ran ahead with a gun, and Xia Lan, who was almost shot, was pulled over and dragged behind the door, where she pinned him down with her hands behind her back.

He peeked out briefly, then quickly pulled back, his expression changing drastically. He said urgently, "We're stuck on the west side of the square and can't come to meet up. I need to find a way to shake them off."

Done.

Xu Sanduo pulled out a grenade and threw it towards the area where the rebels were located.

"Bang!"

The grenade killed a rebel soldier, but did not clear the passage.

Instead, the rebel soldiers behind them caught up, forcing Shi Dafan to continue firing to suppress them, and shouting loudly, "Left side, into the house on the left, the enemy behind us is catching up."

"Let's go! Go inside, let's go inside."

Taking advantage of the brief respite from the grenade explosion, Xu Sanduo led Deng Mei and Xia Lang into the room on the left, and then ran out again.

In the living room outside, Shi Dafan and Shi Dafan stood one in front and one behind, defending and suppressing the rebel soldiers to prevent them from rushing up.

"There's already fighting here. Getting Deng Mei out of here is the priority. Don't come any closer. Keep heading west and cross over to the edge of town. I'll arrange a car for you."

After issuing the first command, Jackie Chan immediately followed up with the second: "Twelve, calling Twelve, have you arrived yet? Where are you now?"

"Twelve received. We have crossed the river and are preparing to head to the evacuation point," Wu Liuyi replied over the radio.

"The evacuation point has been cancelled. You don't need to go there anymore. Head to the west side of the town immediately to help evacuate Deng Mei. They urgently need help there," Jackie Chan ordered.

"Received, I'll be right there, all done." Wu Liuyi replied crisply.

No sooner had Wu Liuyi finished speaking than the situation on the battlefield changed drastically, pushing the Flame Dragon Team into an even more dangerous situation.

Under the direction of their leader, the rebel soldiers upgraded their firepower once again.

Three rebel soldiers carrying rocket launchers knew the approximate location where Xu Sanduo and his group were hiding, and fired three rockets at the area where Xu Sanduo was located.

"Pfft pfft pfft~"

Three rocket launchers streaked through the air, leaving trails of flame.

"Boom boom boom~"

The earth shook and mountains trembled; flames shot into the sky.

Houses are as fragile as paper in the face of rockets, let alone three rockets in succession.

The two-story mud-brick house collapsed with a roar, turning into ruins.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan gave the order in time, which allowed Xu Sanduo and his group to cross the west side and head straight out of the town, thus leaving their previous location.

Otherwise, Xu Sanduo and the others would be buried alive now, becoming wronged souls under this pile of rubble.

"Damn, so many people."

Jackie Chan was drawn by the sound of the explosion and saw the entire building collapse.

Realizing that Xu Sanduo and his group were in danger, they didn't bother to look for the sniper they had been searching for, and prepared to go out again to take out the rocket launchers.

Holding a fully loaded automatic grenade launcher, Jackie Chan reappeared on the South Archway.

Just about to aim and fire...

next second!

Holy crap!

Jackie Chan's eyes widened, and he unleashed a string of profanities.

Jackie Chan jumped off the three-meter-high archway without a second's hesitation, without even a fraction of a second of thought.

Zhuang Yan was completely dumbfounded, wondering what Jackie Chan had encountered that made him so terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.

next moment.

He knew the answer.

Just a second after Jackie Chan turned and jumped, a horizontally fired cannonball flew over and hit the spot where Jackie Chan had just been.

"Boom!"

The sound was so loud it hurt my ears.

The upper section of the archway, which was entirely made of stone, was cleaved off by this shell, leaving a gaping hole with a diameter of over one meter.

Based on the power of this one shell alone.

If Jackie Chan had reacted even a second slower, he would have been turned into a flying piece of flesh by now.

Zhuang Yan peeked out and looked at the square, and saw that the one that fired the cannon was an American-made M60 main battle tank. No wonder the explosion was so powerful.

The main battle tank's main gun is a 105mm rifled gun. Imagine how powerful it is to use a gun designed to fight tanks to shoot people.

The smoke and dust from the explosion shrouded the South Archway, making it impossible to see anything for a while. The tank probably thought it had killed Jackie Chan with one shot, so it didn't fire a second shot immediately.

This gave Jackie Chan and Zhuang Yan a chance to catch their breath and immediately move away from this dangerous place.

With their equipment, they were completely helpless against tanks.

Rather than staying here and only getting bombed, with no way to deal with this texture, it's better to move from here.

Just at this crucial moment, Lao Pao drove up in his modified truck.

The truck already carried some gasoline, and with the veteran's professional modifications, it had been transformed into a car bomb.

Jackie Chan, who was originally planning to run away, suddenly had an idea when he saw the car bomb.

"Calling the captain, we're in big trouble. The way out has been blown up, and we're trapped inside. What should we do now? Over."

Xu Sanduo's call was filled with anxiety, clearly indicating that he had encountered a serious problem.

"Captain received. You all hold your ground and defend. I'll send reinforcements."

After speaking with Xu Sanduo, Jackie Chan turned to Zheng Sanpao and Zhuang Yan and said, "Old Pao, Little Zhuang, you two go to the west and find a way to meet up with Daizi. Take plenty of explosives with you, and if all else fails, blow it in."

As he spoke, Jackie Chan took out a dart from his tactical backpack and threw it over.

"Understood, I'll go right away."

The old man caught the explosives, stuffed them into his bag, and ran towards the houses and alleys on the west side.

Be careful.

Zhuang Yan gave a concerned reminder and then ran towards the old man's direction.

In Basem, where gunfire and explosions are constant, danger lurks in every corner, and whether one can ultimately survive depends half on their strength.

After Jackie Chan and Zhuang Yan split up, he chose to stay behind because he had a big plan—

One-on-one against a tank!

The enemy tanks must be taken out!

Just as Jackie Chan was trying to take down the tank, Cheng Cai, who was trapped on the roof, saw the explosion at the South Archway and realized that Jackie Chan was also in trouble.

He knew perfectly well that no one could save him and that he could only rely on himself to escape.

Cheng Cai simply gave up all external assistance, looked around, and then, relying on his intelligence and resourcefulness, found a way to break the deadlock.

He took two high-explosive grenades out of his backpack and tied them together with black duct tape.

Then he pulled off the safes containing both grenades and placed them in the far right corner of the recess, before running to the far left corner and lying down.

The two are about three meters apart, which is still very dangerous under normal circumstances.

The simultaneous explosion of two grenades is very powerful, and the various fragments that blast out will become lethal shrapnel, which will most likely fly into Cheng Cai's body.

We don't need many fragments.

Just two fingernail-sized pieces of gravel are enough to cripple Cheng Cai by half; if they hit a vital spot, he'll be dead on the spot.

Cheng Cai clearly knew this; he was one of the top special forces soldiers.

The reason he dared to try to blast a hole in the roof with a grenade in such a narrow space, and then go down to the second floor below through that hole, was because...

Its most crucial asset is the central chimney, which it uses as a shield.

As long as you control the angle and direction of the explosion, as well as your hiding place, a chimney that is only 40 centimeters wide is enough to block 90 percent of the debris.

The five seconds of delayed explosion passed by, second by second.

"Boom!"

Rubble and broken stones filled the sky.

The houses in the town of Basem are not built with high-strength reinforced concrete, and the roofs are not load-bearing areas, making them more fragile than other parts of the building.

The blast from two high-explosive grenades created a hole more than a meter wide.

The chimney, which was more than a meter tall and stood in the middle, facing the direction of the explosion, had become mottled and damaged by the bombardment of debris.

There are at least thirty, if not fifty, craters on the surface caused by small pebbles.

If it weren't for the chimney blocking the way, a large portion of the dents that hit the chimney would likely have hit Cheng Cai instead.

Cheng Cai's body isn't as tough as a chimney, yet he can still stand there without falling.

He turned into a paralyzed corpse!

"Done."

Cheng Cai smiled as soon as he saw the hole. The depression he had been feeling earlier vanished. He crouched down, ran over, grabbed the edge, and jumped down.

The floors here aren't very tall, only a little over two meters, so jumping down would be easy.

"What happened?"

Hiding behind a window, the scarred sniper peeked out from behind a gap in the curtain, aimed at Cheng Cai's location, and waited for a long time. When he saw the thick smoke and dust rising from the roof, his mind was full of questions.

He couldn't understand why the sniper above would blow himself up with a grenade.

Or perhaps something else?

The scarred sniper couldn't understand it, so he could only keep staring.

Jackie Chan also heard the explosion and immediately radioed, "Gun God, calling Gun God, what's going on over there? What happened?"

"Gun God, received. I've escaped and am now relocating. Over." Cheng Cai replied.

"Good, find a way to take out the rocket launcher and prevent them from getting close to the idiots. They're trapped and can't be attacked by the rocket launcher anymore," Jackie Chan instructed.

"Received, I'll figure something out."

Cheng Cai knew there were three rocket launcher operators and had wanted to take them out, but he was pinned down by the sniper and couldn't show himself.

Now that he has finally escaped being suppressed, it's time for him to unleash his power.

After Jackie Chan finished arranging Cheng Cai's work and was almost done with his own tasks, he had already set up a trap to take down the tank.

"Bang!"

Jackie Chan took the initiative to step forward, went to the third archway, and fired a shot in the direction of the tank.

Hit the target!

The 35mm grenade's penetration power was somewhat weak against the main battle tank, only managing to create a crater and leave a black mark.

but.

Although the damage caused was very limited, the insults inflicted were immense.

Not only did the cannon fail to kill Jackie Chan, it didn't even wound him. Instead, Jackie Chan stepped forward and challenged the main battle tank with his personal weapon.

The rebel soldiers sitting inside the tank were all angered by Jackie Chan's provocation.

The gunner immediately readjusted the gun barrel, aimed at the spot where Jackie Chan had just been, and fired the 105mm shell that had just been loaded.

"Boom!"

Another little mushroom.

The third arch was completely destroyed by the shell, and the lip fell down with a rumble, burying the area beneath it.

"Now he should be dead!"

The rebel gunner was very satisfied with the results of his shot.

But his smugness lasted less than three seconds before Jackie Chan fired another grenade at his tank from the dust and smoke kicked up by the explosion.

This time the insult was even greater than the last; even the machine gun on the tank was blown off.

The rebels inside the tank instantly turned red-hot.
