Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

After guessing the company commander, Xu Sanduo still felt uneasy and impatiently added, "Could it be Ma Xiaoshuai, or perhaps Bai Tiejun?... "

"Haha, okay, stop guessing, you'll have already mentioned everyone in the end."

Jackie Chan was in a very good mood. He interrupted Xu Sanduo with a smile and, without keeping him in suspense, revealed the answer: "It's your old company commander, Gao Cheng."

"Really?? That's great!"

After a brief moment of surprise and elation, Xu Sanduo grinned foolishly, showing his big front teeth.

"Back then, you were a burden, but our company commander didn't dislike you. Now you've upgraded your equipment. You'd better show him what you're made of, let him know that every person from our Steel Seventh Company who leaves is upright and honorable, understand?"

Jackie Chan's words were not only directed at Xu Sanduo, but also at himself.

The three greenhorns who started out back then have now grown into outstanding officers, and even officers in top special forces units.

This is something to be proud of, something to be confident about.

"Got it, hehe."

Xu Sanduo understood what Jackie Chan meant. This strong feeling, similar to returning home in glory, made Xu Sanduo nod, nodding particularly heavily.

……

The spy-hunting team from Team A quickly arrived at their designated areas via helicopter and immediately began their work.

A special forces team led by Jackie Chan launched simultaneous attacks in five locations.

The spies disguised as tourists and local farmers had nowhere to hide from these old A's; they were all exposed and arrested one by one.

On the very first day of the operation, the A team captured more than a dozen spies and agents.

Zhong Yuannian, the deputy commander of the military region, was very satisfied with the preliminary security work and personally went to the command center to observe the assembly of various troops.

Wang, the military region's operations director in charge of the exercise, held a baton more than a meter long and walked to a super-large display screen that was ten meters long and three meters high, showing the entire exercise area.

Pointing to different areas, he explained, "Liang Hang's army aviation brigade is transporting the information brigade's equipment, and they have just arrived at the assembly point to begin the transfer."

Fang Yaqiu's shipping fleet will arrive at the designated sea area in two hours.

The armored battalion, divided into three special trains, is heading directly south from the north and is expected to arrive at the designated area today to prepare for the military exercise.

Gundam's missile battalion and Lu Yusheng's artillery battalion are advancing along the G40 highway by motorized vehicles and will be in position on schedule...

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep..."

The sudden, urgent alarm interrupted Minister Wang's explanation.

Meanwhile, at the top left of the screen, two yellow exclamation marks appeared on an intercity highway on the map, flashing continuously.

Two notification screens then popped up on the screen, stating that the target signal had been interrupted.

"What's going on?"

Deputy Commander Zhong Yuannian frowned, somewhat confused, and turned his gaze to Minister Wang.

"Could it be a satellite monitoring malfunction?" Minister Wang wasn't sure either, as this wasn't part of the exercise plan, and he could only speculate.

"Impossible. If the satellite malfunctioned, how come other units could detect it? Why are only these two battalions missing?"

Zhong Yuannian refuted Minister Wang's guess, then asked curiously, "Who is leading these two brigades?"

"Wu Yiwen, deputy commander of the 203rd Division," Minister Wang said.

"Wu Yiwen?"

Zhong Yuannian was somewhat surprised.

More than 100 kilometers away on a highway, several tour buses were speeding along, and all the passengers were adult men dressed in casual clothes.

There wasn't a single woman!

The middle-aged man sitting in front of the first bus was Wu Yiwen, who surprised Zhong Yuannian. Sitting next to him was Section Chief Gui Pingyuan.

The reason they disappeared from the surveillance footage was that Wu Yiwen calculated the satellite's overhead time.

Tourist buses were prepared in advance in tunnels along the route. When the convoy entered a tunnel and lost signal, the military vehicles were instructed to remain inside the tunnel and not emerge, cleverly evading satellite surveillance.

The military vehicles were disguised as local trucks inside the tunnel, while waiting for the satellite to enter the blind spot area.

The government officials disguised themselves as tour groups, all traveling in tour buses, and emerged from the tunnel, perfectly avoiding surveillance.

Section Chief Gui Pingyuan was very good at flattery.

Praising Wu Yiwen's resourcefulness and ability to evade surveillance in the car was a tactic that would definitely attract the attention of superiors and gain them an early advantage.

Wu Yiwen was flattered by the praise and took out a book recently written by Deputy Commander Zhong, titled "Building a New Type of Military Talent Highland in the 21st Century," to show Gui Pingyuan.

He also claimed that he had been studying the attitudes and criteria of military region leaders and higher authorities in selecting talent.

Upon learning that Zhong Yuannian was in charge of the selection process, he bought his book in order to curry favor with him and specifically used the tactics described above.

Try to appeal to their preferences to your advantage.

After listening, Section Chief Gui exclaimed how brilliant it was and launched into a scathing round of flattery, speaking with remarkable fluency and even addressing Commander Wu in advance.

Wu Yiwen smiled smugly; it turned out to be a tacitly approved title for Section Chief Gui.

On the other side, Zhong Yuannian in the command center was very surprised because he knew Wu Yiwen's style. He belonged to the traditional combat school and his fighting style was very steady.

However, the method used this time was very risky and completely different from Wu Yiwen's tactical style.

but.

Because Wu Yiwen was reading a book written by Zhong Yuannian, Zhong Yuannian quickly realized what had probably happened.

Minister Wang was worried that something might have happened and was preparing to send people to the location of the disappearance to investigate the cause.

Zhong Yuannian stopped Minister Wang's suggestion and said with a faint smile, "No need, Wu Yiwen is just playing tricks on us."

He must have calculated Luckin Coffee's trajectory. They concealed themselves when the satellite passed overhead, and then quickly moved in when the satellite entered a blind spot, thus avoiding surveillance.

After Zhong Yuannian's explanation, all the high-ranking military officials, including Minister Wang, suddenly understood.

However, Minister Wang then fell silent, saying with great doubt, "Wu Yiwen has always been very composed; this doesn't seem to fit his style."

"Hahaha."

All the officers in the command center burst into laughter.

One of the colonels, with a high nose, laughed and said, "After all, these are special times. It's understandable that people are more careful than usual in order to succeed in the election for division commander."

"Oh, it's good that she's so cunning."

Deputy Commander Zhong immediately chimed in, praising him: "This shows that he has an awareness of modern warfare. In the information age where satellites are everywhere, how to effectively conceal oneself and avoid the enemy's eyes is an indispensable part of our future wars."

After all, we've entered the digital age; wearing a camouflage hat and sticking a few branches into a car is outdated and childish.

It is not difficult to see from Zhong Yuannian's words that Wu Yiwen's attempt to please him had an effect.

And it's been very effective; it has already gained initial favor.

"Of course, he wouldn't be the top candidate for the First Division without some real skills." The man with the high nose laughed and flattered him again.

A group of high-ranking military officers followed closely behind, all expertly offering flattery.

Wu Yiwen had already gained the favor of the deputy commander through opportunism, and Gao Cheng, another strong candidate for division commander, had finally flown back.

Having managed to get the news in advance, Jackie Chan specially drove with Xu Sanduo to the airport to welcome Gao Cheng.

At the airport, I encountered a female civilian military officer who looked to be only around thirty years old, and she was holding the hand of a little boy who was a few years old.

The little boy's features looked exactly like Gao Cheng's, and Jackie Chan immediately recognized him as her son.

It must be Gao Cheng's wife and children.

At first, Xu Sanduo didn't believe what Jackie Chan said. He stared at the child for a long time, and after hearing Jackie Chan's analysis, he suddenly realized.

Gao Cheng is no longer the competitive 26 or 27-year-old he was when he was a company commander.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. As a middle-aged man who is about to turn forty, getting married and having children is the most normal thing.

The real problem is if you're still single!

"This is a family member of one of our elderly relatives, we must take the initiative to go over and say hello, let's go."

Jackie Chan himself has great respect for Gao Cheng, and by extension, he will also respect his family. As a former subordinate, it is only the most basic courtesy to greet the family of his former leader.

"Okay, boss, I'll go with you."

Xu Sanduo wasn't very knowledgeable about etiquette and manners, so he wisely chose to have Jackie Chan as his leader.

After years of companionship, he had become accustomed to being Cheng Long's shadow.

"Greetings, sir."

When the woman saw Jackie Chan walking over, she was momentarily stunned. His two-meter height, youthful face, and colonel rank were indeed quite rare.

However, under the influence of Jackie Chan's powerful aura, I still instinctively stood at attention and saluted him.

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to be so formal."

Jackie Chan quickly waved his hand to stop him and explained, "You're here to pick up Company Commander Gao, right? We're here to pick him up too. We were his soldiers when he was a company commander. We just happened to run into each other, so we came to get together."

After explaining, he immediately extended his hand and introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Jackie Chan, and his name is Xu Sanduo. We have a very good relationship with Company Commander Gao."

Hello.

The woman reacted quickly, shaking hands politely and gracefully. She then introduced herself, saying, "I am Gao Cheng's wife, Chen Li, from the military arts troupe. It's a pleasure to meet you."

This is our child, Gao Jun. He's five years old. Come on, say hello to Uncle.

The little boy's big eyes darted around, staring intently at Jackie Chan, as if he had never seen such a giant before.

Hearing her mother Chen Li's words, she wasn't shy at all and called out in a clear, loud voice, "Hello, Uncle Little Monkey! Hello, Uncle Big Dinosaur!"

"A little monkey? A big dinosaur? Haha."

It was the first time Jackie Chan had ever heard such a description. He looked at Xu Sanduo, whose height only reached his armpits, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Do not see do not know.

Upon closer inspection, it's actually quite vivid.

Chen Li's face turned bright red. It was clear that she wanted to laugh but couldn't, so she had to force herself to suppress it.

Xu Sanduo didn't feel embarrassed at all; he was already used to being petite and delicate in front of Jackie Chan.

Therefore, he wasn't angry or dissatisfied at all. Instead, he bent down, picked up Gao Jun, and laughed, "Little boy, you're so cute. Uncle wants to reward you. What do you want to eat? I can buy it for you."

"Really?" Gao Jun asked in surprise.

"Yes, really." Xu Sanduo nodded seriously.

"Then I want to eat that, the big candied hawthorn, I want to eat two." Gao Jun said, holding up two fingers, his face full of anticipation.

"Xiao Da, come down quickly. How can you let your uncle spend money? Your mother bought it for you." Chen Li said shyly, putting on a deliberately angry face.

"It's alright, sister-in-law, I have money."

After Xu Sanduo gave his straightforward answer, he picked up Gao Jun and said as they walked, "Let's go, let's go, let's go buy some candied hawthorns!"

"This child..."

Chen Li watched her child walk away with doting eyes, her gaze filled with tenderness.

"Gao Jun looks just like Company Commander Gao, like they were made from the same mold. He'll definitely grow up to be a handsome young man."

Jackie Chan is a fairly talkative person, and he started chatting with Chen Li about a topic.

When Gao Cheng's flight arrived and he came out dragging his suitcase, the atmosphere among the three adults and one child had become very pleasant.

Wherever Jackie Chan goes, he becomes a shining star.

It's the same this time.

As Gao Cheng dragged his suitcase out, he saw Jackie Chan waiting outside, standing out conspicuously in the crowd, easily spotted at a glance.

He then realized he was much shorter than his wife, children, and Xu Sanduo who were standing beside him waiting.

Gao Cheng knew that his wife and children were coming to pick him up at the airport.

But seeing Jackie Chan, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and Xu Sanduo at the airport was a scene Gao Cheng never dreamed of.

The reunion with his old comrades-in-arms was a delightful surprise for Gao Cheng.

As Gao Cheng exited the ramp, he not only ignored his wife who was eagerly waiting for him, but also ignored the child who ran over to call him "Dad."

As soon as they came out, they ran over and gave Jackie Chan and Xu Sanduo a manly hug.

They hugged me tightly and pounded my back hard, making a loud thud.

Seeing the colonel rank on Jackie Chan's shoulder, Gao Cheng was genuinely happy and said, "I knew it, I knew you were something special, I wasn't wrong."

At the rate you're rising through the ranks like a rocket, I'm afraid in a few years, when we meet again, I'll have to call you "Commander," haha.

In less than ten years, he rose from private to colonel, a truly unbelievable speed.

If we consider the timeframe that a normal person could understand, Xu Sanduo reaching the rank of captain in the same amount of time would be considered a normal and rapid promotion in the military.

If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, or if it had been someone else...

Gao Cheng absolutely refused.

After all, Gao Cheng had such a powerful background, and he believed that he had risen fast enough. At the age of thirty-seven, he was a senior colonel, which was rare in the entire army.

In the military, this is already considered the highest level.

But compared to Jackie Chan, they're not even in the same league.
