Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 444 The Best Disguise

A little over 200 meters is a crucial position; firing a Type 58 twin anti-aircraft machine gun from this position greatly reduces ricochets and stray bullets.

Whether it's lethality or accuracy, the benefits can be maximized.

It also ensures that when launching an ambush, it can be perfectly coordinated with the booby traps on the road and the watermelon rinds by the roadside to unleash a devastating burst of damage.

By catching the Red Turban Army convoy off guard, they achieved their goal of weakening the strength of the Dane Company.

Jackie Chan laid out more than 100 meters of wire along the way, connected the necessary booster device to the end, and finally connected it to the igniter, thus completing the installation of the two parallel watermelon rinds.

The once round and bulging tactical backpack has become lighter and flatter due to the reduction in the number of bombs.

"Four booby traps plus two directional mines, with an blast zone lasting over 100 meters, will definitely give them a run for their money. Now, only one last task remains."

Jackie Chan wiped the fine sweat from his face, gazed at the seemingly normal highway, and let out a long breath.

He turned and walked toward the pickup truck.

The deployment location of the land-based weapons on the rear of the vehicle is crucial to the success of this ambush, so it is absolutely essential that the enemy does not discover them in advance.

The goal is to maximize the weapon's firepower while remaining undetected by the enemy.

This requires a lot of skill and cannot be taken lightly.

Therefore, camouflaging the armored pickup trucks was the last and most important step.

Fortunately, the African savanna lives up to its name; there were not only large patches of weeds as tall as a person along the roadside, but also all sorts of low shrubs.

Jackie Chan drove the car off the road, over the weeds, and pulled it up next to the lighter.

Along the way, large patches of weeds were flattened by vehicles, and from high above, it was clear that there was a long "passage" between the roadside and the pickup truck.

Fortunately, this road is only visible from the air or from the main entrance at the roadside.

You can't see it at all from the sides.

The Red Turban Army did not use drones to scout ahead from high altitudes, so this obvious trace did not need to be dealt with and would not expose their location.

After parking the pickup truck with its rear facing outwards, Jackie Chan climbed into the back of the truck, sat on the launcher, and turned the steering wheel to adjust the muzzle of the Type 58 twin anti-aircraft machine gun.

We aligned ourselves with the direction of the minefield on the highway in advance, and positioned ourselves at the very back of the road as the car approached.

Then, he skillfully operated the Type 58 heavy machine gun and replaced two new ammunition boxes.

Load the bullet into the chamber.

Keep in a state where you can fire at any time.

Although the bushes were as tall as a person, the rear cargo bed of the pickup truck, which was equipped with a Type 58 heavy machine gun, was over two meters high, and the bushes could not conceal the pickup truck's body at all.

On this vast, flat grassland, you can see clearly even from a kilometer away.

Therefore, driving the pickup truck into the bushes wasn't enough; additional camouflage was needed, and the best way to do that was through Jackie Chan's favorite tactic—

Use what you have on hand!

Use whatever plants and terrain are nearby for camouflage.

On the vast African savanna, besides various wild-growing herbaceous plants, the most abundant vegetation consists of low trees and dense shrubs.

With camouflage materials readily available everywhere, Jackie Chan didn't need to put in much effort at all.

The camouflage of the pickup truck was completed in less than ten minutes.

At first glance

The pickup truck, covered by just the right amount of shrubs and trees, and the scaffolding that can be seen everywhere in the grassland, is almost indistinguishable from the other shrubs.

The disguise is extremely sophisticated!

"Everything is finally settled. I wonder when Big Bear and the others will arrive, and whether they will be surprised or taken aback by my big gift."

Covered in leaves and grass clippings and drenched in sweat, Jackie Chan showed no signs of fatigue; instead, he wore an expectant smile.

……

At midday, the sun was blazing.

The entire grassland was unbearably hot, like a giant oven connecting heaven and earth.

On the pickup truck, which had been transformed into a "shrubbery," a plump yellow insect crawled forward along the leaves and branches, its target the dark little hole ahead.

*Smack!*

It exploded.

And so, their beautiful "insect life" came to an end!

"Is it all in the past?"

After flicking away and crushing the Nth insect with two fingers, Jackie Chan, sitting next to Gao Ji, looked up at the direction of Kandar and frowned.

I've been waiting for almost half an hour, and there's not a soul in sight on the road.

but.

Jackie Chan remained calm, showing no sign of impatience.

As a specially trained special forces operative, Jackie Chan has been molded into the most perfect war machine. He has never lacked patience and is basically without flaws.

Whether it's the body or the will.

Jackie Chan was only worried that Big Bear and the others had already gone there, which would mean losing an excellent opportunity to ambush them, making it even more troublesome to rescue Dr. Chen.

However, just as Jackie Chan was speculating, the long wait finally came to an end.

In the distance, a white spot of light flashes by in the shot.

The prey has arrived!

Jackie Chan caught a glimpse of the light out of the corner of his eye, and his expression hardened.

This reflection comes from the windshield of the vehicle. Regardless of whether it is the Red Turban Army convoy they are waiting for, they must make preparations in advance.

Jackie Chan quickly picked up the lighter with his left hand, propped the gun on the high machine gun with his right hand, and looked at the flash through the scope.

Two kilometers away.

There wasn't just one car on the road, but a large convoy speeding towards them, led by a rare black SUV.

Three white pickup trucks followed behind, each carrying Red Turban Army soldiers.

Last but not least was a troop transport truck with a tarpaulin covering its cargo bed filled with fully armed Red Turban Army soldiers; there were at least thirty or forty of them.

The entire convoy stretched over 90 meters from front to back, and its speed was at least 70 mph.

In just a dozen breaths, we reached a distance of one kilometer.

The distance has decreased.

The field of vision is clearer.

Jackie Chan moved his scope to lock onto the black SUV and peered inside through its windshield.

The driver on the left was a Red Turban Army officer, while the other three were all dressed in professional and sophisticated equipment, which was completely different from the Red Turban Army's attire.

Having officers from the Red Turban Army as drivers meant their equipment was far superior to that of the Red Turban Army.

Their identities are self-evident.

Sitting in the passenger seat fiddling with a rifle, the lean man was undoubtedly Ghost, the weapons expert. Although the two people behind him were blocked by the seats, their legs, clad in all-terrain camouflage pants, could still be seen.

A combination of an extra-thick and an extra-thin strand, plus the ability to foresee the future.

Jackie Chan already knew who they were.

It must be the wrestler Big Bear and the female sniper Athena from the five-person group.

After observing the situation inside the SUV, Jackie Chan turned his gun around and did not lock onto the trio, but instead aimed at the driver on the left.

Eliminating any one of the trio would reduce the threat of one of them.

However, given their fighting abilities, the remaining two could easily escape and lead the Red Turban Army in a fierce counterattack against Jackie Chan.

This would not only be troublesome for Jackie Chan, but could even lead to the ambush failing.

As for the scene in the movie where the fuel tank of an off-road vehicle is blown up, that's utter nonsense.

First, the off-road vehicle is not an externally mounted type. Second, with the vehicle body and fuel tank walls blocking the way, ordinary bullets could not possibly ignite the gasoline.

Unless it's a special bullet for sniper rifles, such as an armor-piercing incendiary round or a discarding sabot tracer round.

However, the Sabr assault rifle in Jackie Chan's hands does not have the ability to use special bullets.

therefore.

The best method is to kill the driver, causing the vehicle to lose control, and then use the shockwave from the subsequent booby trap to turn the off-road vehicle into a "rolling radish".

If a vehicle traveling at 70 km/h rolls over, even if the people inside don't die, they will temporarily lose their ability to fight.

The driver was killed, the vehicle went out of control, and was eventually overturned by a booby trap.

This is a continuous process.

It was also an ambush plan meticulously designed by Jackie Chan!

Furthermore!

For Jackie Chan to execute the plan perfectly, it was crucial to seize the precise moment to fire the shot. Even a second too early or too late could prevent the vehicle from overturning.

If the lead vehicle doesn't overturn, the subsequent stages won't be able to connect.

Winning a battle against overwhelming odds is never easy; it requires extensive data analysis, meticulous planning, and highly skilled personnel—all are indispensable.

Jackie Chan is not a "calculator" who calculates all the battle data in advance, but rather a battlefield strategist.

But as a veteran special agent with over thirty years of special operations military service across two lifetimes, his budgeting ability is second to none among actuaries.

"boom--"

The roar of various engines mingled together as the convoy sped across the Polina Bridge.

Because the bridge was very narrow, only one vehicle could pass at a time, the entire convoy was stretched into a long line, passing over the bridge one after another until they reached the end where Jackie Chan was lying in ambush.

Jackie Chan had already lowered the scope and was watching with his naked eye as the lead SUV crossed the first watermelon rind.

Tighten your fingers and apply force, pulling the trigger halfway down.

This isn't a very advanced technique, but it does require a certain amount of ammunition to "feed" it.

By using a trigger to reach the firing threshold, and stopping at this point without firing, the shooter can fire in the shortest possible time.

This tactic is not very useful for assault troops and fire support personnel.

However, for snipers who need to precisely control the shooting time and keep the distance within a fraction of a second, semi-recoil control becomes particularly important.

sigh~

The off-road vehicle sped through the first watermelon rind at a speed of 25 meters per second and entered the minefield.

Jackie Chan calmed himself down and held his breath.

Reduce the range of random muzzle movement, and at the same time, compare the basic parameters in the scope to calculate vehicle speed, wind speed, bullet velocity, etc.

After finally determining the precise firing point, the red dot was locked onto the gap between the driver's heart and the car door, slightly to the left.

Inside the lead black SUV, the Red Turban Army officer, accustomed to driving such grassland roads, was completely unaware that danger was imminent.

They did not make any attempt to avoid the animal carcasses on the road.

The first booby trap wasn't on the road, and the SUV luckily avoided it.

But just then, Jackie Chan made his move.

"Snap, whoosh—"

The bullet travels at supersonic speeds and hurtles toward its target.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound.

A small hole with cracks around the edges suddenly appeared on the windshield of the black SUV.

Then, the driver's clothes in front of him rippled slightly, but a large hole was torn in his back, which was hidden by the chair, and a large amount of blood gushed out instantly.

The chair was also pierced by bullets, bringing out various kinds of blood and debris.

The ghost sitting in the passenger seat was a weapons expert and was exceptionally sensitive to gunshots. Upon hearing the unusual noise, he immediately reacted and abruptly turned his head to look to the left.

The driver didn't look at the road; instead, he stared in disbelief, looking down at his right chest.

There...

There is a small tear-like hole, and the color of the clothes is rapidly darkening.

"Gunshot wound, someone's lying in ambush!"

Ghost's face turned deathly pale with horror. He was about to pounce on the vehicle to control it, dodge the remaining bullets, and make sure it wouldn't overturn.

But just as his hand touched the steering wheel, the second wave of attacks began.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar.

The explosion, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, sent the right side of the car bouncing off the ground, directly interrupting Ghost's rescue attempt.

And that's not even the worst of it.

The Red Turban Army soldiers, already on the verge of death, didn't bother to stabilize the vehicle. Their hands, shaken off by the violent shaking, even managed to pull the steering wheel along.

This caused the car, which was originally being driven forward, to completely lose control and veer to the side.

Because the sniping and explosion came so suddenly, Big Bear and Athena, who were sitting in the back seat, hadn't even figured out what was happening when the car suddenly swerved and they were thrown to the right side of the car.

"Bang!"

Another booby trap has been detonated!

Under the second wave of high-explosive impact, the already teetering off-road vehicle could no longer maintain its stability and flipped over.

This turn of events is truly remarkable.

Driven by the inertia of traveling at 70 mph, the overturned SUV instantly turned into a rolling gourd, tumbling rapidly along the road.

"Crackling, thumping, thumping, thumping..."

The off-road vehicle rolled and bounced on the road, scattering various car parts everywhere.

"Squeak—squeak—squeak—"

The three pickup trucks and troop carriers behind, seeing the situation ahead and not knowing what had happened, instinctively began to brake suddenly.

That distance is indeed enough to stop, but by then it's useless.

Because they have entered the ambush zone!

Just as the three cars braked one after another, Jackie Chan pressed the ignition button without hesitation, detonating the two carefully prepared treasures.

"Bang!"

Two M18A1 Claymore mines linked together exploded at almost the same time.

Under the effect of the Misner-Shaldin effect, all 1400 steel balls were accelerated to several times the speed of sound, spraying towards the highway like a super rain of pear blossoms.

That scene...

The visual effects are simply amazing.

"Whoosh—"

A dense, overwhelming mass, blotting out the sky and the sun, terrifying beyond measure.

"God, this is..."

The Red Turban Army soldiers on the pickup trucks and troop transport trucks were so terrified by the dark expanse before them that they stood frozen in place, their minds shattered.

50 meters—it's gone in the blink of an eye!

"Phew~"

A strong wind blew in my face, accompanied by a loud howling sound.

"Bang!"

The more than 1400 high-speed steel balls were extinguished, seemingly coalescing into a terrifying giant hand that slammed down on the troop carriers and pickup trucks at the rear.

The bodies of both vehicles were deformed on the spot.

Countless tiny holes, like those in a hair follicle, are scattered throughout every corner of the left side of the car, turning both vehicles into giant leaky ladles.
