Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 431 Instant Kill

The helicopter pilot was killed instantly by a grenade, the two terrorist gunmen also met their end, and the control panel was blown to smithereens.

"Beep beep beep beep..."

The urgent alarm sounded throughout the cabin.

However, no matter how loud the alarm sounded, it was useless, because all the terrorists on the helicopter were dead, and the helicopter was no longer under control.

With the control equipment damaged and no one operating it, the outcome was already predetermined.

The helicopter hovered in the sky for a few moments, then, like a bird that had lost its mind, it swooped down towards the ground and crashed headfirst into the earth.

"Boom!"

It exploded into a fireball!

Seeing the helicopter explode a hundred meters away, Zhuang Yan and Lao Pao, who were in dire straits, suddenly had a glimmer of hope and no longer needed to worry about the safety of their backs.

The two men stared intently at the four terrorist vehicles approaching from behind.

Zhuang Yan and Lao Pao, whose ammunition was already running low before the retreat, did not engage in long-range shooting, but instead prepared to let the enemy get closer before firing.

Compared to the limited accuracy of long-range shooting, its only advantage is that it is relatively safer.

Zhuang Yan and Lao Pao prefer to improve their accuracy, even if it puts them in danger, in order to maximize their output.

With other comrades supporting us from behind, winning this battle is not impossible.

And seeing Jackie Chan create another miracle, using only a grenade costing less than $100 to achieve an extremely exaggerated comeback and gain 100,000 times the profit, taking down a military helicopter costing tens of millions of dollars.

Cheng Cai, Wu Zhe, and the others were greatly encouraged and began firing under the cover of the armored vehicle.

In the previous warehouse battle, both the sniper team and the cover team were long-range support teams, so the intensity of the battle was relatively low and there was still plenty of ammunition left.

We still have enough resources to carry out long-range firepower suppression.

The terrorist convoy arrived full of confidence, and when the helicopter intercepted Zhuang Yan's car, they cheered excitedly.

They thought the Yanlong team was easy prey, and that they could just charge in and finish them off.

The car floored the gas pedal and sped off at breakneck speed.

Just when they were about to catch up, the helicopter suddenly seemed to lose its mind and crashed down without warning, turning into a giant firework.

Immediately afterwards, the enemy's firepower pressed down, and the bullets were incredibly accurate.

The terrorists, who were only a hundred meters away, were indeed a bit bewildered by this display of force, but their fighting spirit was not diminished.

They've all obviously been heavily brainwashed!

A direct assault would likely result in heavy losses, given the exceptional marksmanship of the Flame Dragon Team; the terrorists had chosen the most suitable method of combat—

Dispersed and mobile operations!

The four cars split up and drove to the left and right, forming a formation that drove around the outside to attack, completely surrounding the already parked Yanlong team in the middle.

In a normal battle where the strength of the two sides is roughly equal, this tactic is indeed very good.

However, if there is a significant gap in military capabilities between the two sides, encirclement and hunting becomes a terrible option; it would be better to stop the vehicles and engage in direct combat.

What is the reason?

In reality, given the vast difference in marksmanship between the two sides, terrorists sitting in a moving car would have even worse marksmanship.

The bumps and jolting caused by a car moving at high speed can significantly affect the accuracy of shooting.

On the contrary, the Yanlong team members who parked their car were able to accurately aim their guns at the four terrorist vehicles while using the car as cover.

The accuracy of the design will be greatly improved, and with the strength of the Flame Dragon Team, they can basically hit the target every time.

And most importantly...

With four vehicles surrounding the target, there are only four objectives. Each of the two members of the Yanlong team can keep an eye on one vehicle, which greatly increases the density of firepower.

It's not that there are a dozen or so terrorists, but rather that there are a dozen or so targets.

If a team member has to deal with two targets, their firepower will be reduced by half.

Taking all these factors into account, what initially seemed like a very reasonable tactical arrangement turned into an extremely poor plan, leading to a tragic outcome.

If terrorists stop at a distance and engage in a firefight, they could easily put the Flame Dragon team in danger.

The Yanlong team can't afford to drag this out; they don't have the time.

When the four vehicles came within fifty meters of the firing range, Jackie Chan gave the order to fire at full power.

"Da da da da..."

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Under the barrage of fire from Jackie Chan and the other six, the four cars were riddled with bullet holes, looking like cars hit by hail.

The bullet easily passed through the car body and entered the vehicle, beginning a frenzied and bloody haul.

The terrorists inside the car had nowhere to hide. The first car on the left was riddled with bullets, its tires burst, and it overturned on the road.

Less than five seconds later, another car exploded with a loud bang.

Cheng Cai and Shi Dafan combined their firepower, using armor-piercing incendiary rounds to attack the fuel tank, successfully detonating it.

Following closely behind, Jackie Chan, Wu Zhe, and Wu Liuyi, who were attacking the pickup truck together, also achieved their goal.

The driver swerved too sharply to avoid bullets, causing the car to flip over. It rolled twice on the ground and ended up upside down like a turtle.

Jackie Chan and the other two focused their fire on the car windows, nearly destroying the terrorists inside.

The last remaining terrorist, seeing that things were going badly and that his own men had been eliminated far too quickly, realized that the two sides were simply not on the same level.

Finally, fear overcame the fanaticism he had been brainwashed with, and he slammed on the steering wheel, ready to turn around and drive away.

But it was already too late!

The two sides were less than forty meters apart. For the sharpshooters of the Yanlong team, hitting a car was easier than drinking water.

No matter how fast this car goes, it can never outrun a bullet.

"Da da da da da..."

"Boom!"

With all seven members of the Flame Dragon team focusing their fire, the last vehicle was instantly destroyed.

As flames shot skyward from the explosion, the shockwave carried smoke and dust, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere. The terrorists inside the vehicle were all killed instantly.

All the terrorists were wiped out, and the Flame Dragon team won the final victory.

The rebel soldiers had long been wiped out by the terrorists, and now the terrorists have also been completely wiped out, leaving only the victorious Flame Dragon Team on the battlefield.

Logically speaking...

The assassins of the Flame Dragon Team should completely relax and enjoy the pleasure brought by victory.

However, Jackie Chan and the others did not laugh out loud. Instead, they quickly moved on to the next step—returning to the transport plane.

"Siberian Wolf, Old Cannon, come quick, we need to get going."

Jackie Chan shouted at the top of his lungs, and Zhuang Yan and Lao Pao glanced at the distance one last time, their faces devoid of any joy, before turning around and running quickly toward the Land Rover Defender SUV.

The rest of the Yanlong team also moved in unison, all of them crawling into the car.

All these unusual things came from afar.

In the distance, at the bend of the hill, a tall, fluttering earthen dragon appeared in the sky.

The size and height of this earthen dragon, as well as the speed at which it dissipated in the sky, proved that a large convoy was heading this way.

It's at least ten cars or more!

Even without seeing just the tip of the iceberg of the convoy, their identities are already quite clear—

Rebel support troops!

The Flame Dragon Team was originally lightly armed, carrying very little ammunition and equipment, even though they managed to replenish it during the battle.

After the final battle, everyone was running out of ammunition.

Among them, Zhuang Yan and Lao Pao were the most short of ammunition, both of whom had run out of bullets. "Out of ammunition and supplies" was the most fitting description for them.

If we were to be caught up by this convoy at this point, it would be a real despair.

Captain Jackie Chan was well aware of this, as were every member of the Flame Dragon Team.

That's why everyone's actions were so synchronized; they got back into the car in less than ten seconds, then started the car and continued running towards the transport plane.

At this point, they were less than 200 meters away from the transport plane, and soon the Flame Dragon team arrived at the rear of the transport plane.

Xu Sanduo heard gunfire behind him and, worried, went to the back of the cabin to wait anxiously. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Long and the others arrive.

"Everyone else, get on the plane, quick."

"Idiot, Wu Zhe, you two hurry to the cockpit and assist the pilot to take off immediately."

"Siberian Wolf, prepare to close the hatch."

Before Jackie Chan even jumped out of the car, he had already shouted three orders.

Upon receiving the order, the members of the Flame Dragon Team acted without hesitation, running swiftly into the transport plane like a machine operating at full power.

The Yanlong team moved very quickly, and the team members cooperated very well.

Unfortunately, the transport plane was simply too large, and takeoff was already slow. With it already fully loaded, takeoff was even slower.

Even though Xu Sanduo had already prepared and warmed up in advance, it was still a huge undertaking to get things moving.

The pursuing rebel army convoy was moving very fast, speeding across the desert plain at 100 miles per hour, and soon came into view.

The Flame Dragon team spotted the rebel convoy, and the rebel army spotted the transport plane.

The infighting in the warehouse happened so fast, almost without warning, that the pilots didn't even have time to explain.

They only said "We've been attacked" and requested immediate support before being silenced.

This meant that the rebel army that came to their aid was unaware that the attackers were terrorists, and that the Flame Dragon Team was not only not the enemy, but had even helped them avenge their defeat.

All they knew was that there were corpses everywhere; the rebels and terrorists were all dead.

The transport plane is preparing for takeoff.

Those who are now preparing to leave by transport plane must be the attackers the pilot mentioned, the enemies they need to deal with as they rush here.

Seeing that the transport plane was already moving on the runway, the rebels became anxious.

They increased their speed again.

They were determined to intercept the transport plane before it took off, and absolutely not let the enemy they had identified escape.

The rebel convoy drove at full speed the whole way, while the transport plane started very slowly.

With this combination of slow and fast, they were actually caught up.

As Jackie Chan watched the rebel convoy draw closer, the heavy machine gun on the Humvee at the front began to roar deafeningly.

Despite the distance being more than 200 meters and the gun barrel swaying due to high-speed movement, most of the bullets fired by Lao Gan Ma missed their targets.

However, if even one out of ten shots hits, the fuselage will be easily pierced.

With the power of a 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet, once it reaches the propellers on both sides, the engine will definitely be destroyed on the spot.

Without propeller engines, transport planes simply cannot fly anymore.

"We can't let them act with impunity!"

Jackie Chan realized that a huge crisis was about to occur. He took two steps to the right and slapped the wall, stopping the button that was supposed to close the hatch.

He turned around and ran into the cabin, rummaging through it, trying to find something to suppress the rebel convoy.

Even if we can't suppress them, we should still interfere with them.

Normally, as a military transport plane, especially in a country that is currently experiencing a civil war, it would definitely be transporting some military weapons and equipment.

It's impossible to use only this much yellowcake!

Instead, they saw nothing but mountains of yellow bread barrels.

It wasn't until Jackie Chan arrived at the warehouse terminal that he discovered dozens of rectangular boxes piled up there, with a string of words written on them in English.

"American Stinger portable air-to-air missile?? Damn, how is it an air-to-air weapon?"

Jackie Chan knows how powerful the Stinger man-portable missile is when hitting air targets, and its development has yielded numerous results.

Not only did it swagger around in the Middle East and Africa, but it also shot down many of its own aircraft.

The Americans were terrified. Before launching any air military operation in a new location, they would send a large number of agents and special forces to conduct a detailed investigation and confiscate the Stinger poison stock in the black market of that region.

Those who refuse to hand over the relevant anti-aircraft missiles will be attacked by special forces.

CAG and DG have done this kind of thing quite a few times!

No matter how powerful the Stinger portable missile is against air targets, it is ultimately only used to attack air units, not a ground weapon like the TOW anti-tank missile.

Conventional thinking wouldn't lead one to think of using these surface-to-air weapons to attack tanks.

after all.

The advantage of surface-to-air missiles is their speed; they can easily catch up with even supersonic fighter jets. Their armor-piercing capability is not their main advantage.

However, Jackie Chan was only annoyed for a moment before he realized what was happening.

He picked up the three boxes and ran towards the back gate.

While the Stinger man-portable surface-to-air missile's armor-piercing capability is indeed poor, its explosive power is not weak; in fact, it could be said to be even stronger than a rocket.

Other tracking methods are not complicated; infrared heat source identification tracking allows for hands-free tracking.

The unit Jackie Chan is dealing with isn't a tank, so it doesn't need to have armor-piercing capabilities. It just needs to have enough explosive power and be able to hit it accurately if you aim correctly.

The Stinger missile is perfect, possessing exactly the elements Jackie Chan needs.

A hot car engine is the most obvious heat source.

As long as you aim at the car engine and fire, the Stinger will fly at supersonic speed, crash into the engine, and easily tear the car apart.

As for the Stinger missile, which costs nearly $100,000, it can't blow up planes and helicopters worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, so it can only lower its value to blow up military vehicles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Jackie Chan couldn't care less about that anymore.

Anyway, it's not his.

Having fired too many Avant-garde air-to-air missiles domestically, it's time to change things up and enjoy the American Stinger air-to-air missiles.
