Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Jackie Chan's brothers each expressed their own opinions and analyzed the situation from their own perspectives. There was no right or wrong among them; they all had their own reasons.

but.

Jackie Chan also has his own ideas!

Having watched the TV series in his past life and spent several years with Gao Cheng in this life, Jackie Chan knows better than anyone what kind of person Gao Cheng is.

Rationally speaking, Jackie Chan will definitely not hold back and will go all out in a big battle with Gao Cheng.

But emotionally, I can't do that. If I really let Gao Cheng lose, it would be like ruining his dream, and I would feel guilty.

Whether or not to actually go easy on him was a real dilemma for Jackie Chan.

The night passed just like that.

The next morning, Minister Wang convened everyone for a meeting to deploy the live-fire exercise and confirmed the relevant arrangements.

When the meeting ended and everyone left, Fang Yaqiu, Liang Hang, and others gathered around.

We're still talking about this confrontation.

Everyone shared similar thoughts with Gui Pingyuan, believing that Jackie Chan was just a sparring partner, and that regardless of the final outcome, the master would still be either Gao Cheng or Wu Yiwen.

Having such thoughts is beyond Jackie Chan's qualifications; he's far from being qualified to be a teacher.

Fang Yaqiu even joked that Jackie Chan had no chance of winning.

If he loses, it proves that the old company commander is indeed a veteran and has real skills, while Jackie Chan still needs more experience.

If Jackie Chan wins this match, it will prove that Gao Cheng is a good leader and has taught a good student.

Jackie Chan still lost.

This strange yet seemingly reasonable theory immediately drew laughter from everyone present, even Jackie Chan couldn't help but laugh.

Just then, Long Xiaoyun ran over and asked to take Jackie Chan outside alone.

He said he had something to discuss with Jackie Chan.

The two, both unmarried and of similar age, were creating buzz with Long Xiaoyun's sudden appearance.

It's rare to see such a formidable unit, so how could the captains possibly pass up such a good opportunity?

Various jokes and teasing.

That was one crop after another.

Jackie Chan, with his thick skin, didn't care at all. He even jokingly joined in, saying in a serious tone that it was indeed time to get married.

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed even harder.

Long Xiaoyun, being a woman, was easily embarrassed and couldn't stand it in this situation. She left with the words "I'll wait for you in the car outside" and ran away.

Jackie Chan then walked out with his head held high amidst the teasing of the crowd.

"Boom~~"

No sooner had Jackie Chan gotten into the car than Long Xiaoyun floored the accelerator, and the car sped off.

If it weren't for trusting Long Xiaoyun's driving skills—after all, she was trained in special driving from Fire Phoenix—Jackie Chan would have jumped out of the car.

He doesn't want to die in a car accident!

Long Xiaoyun remained silent until the car drove out of the camp, away from everyone's sight, leaving only the two of them.

"I want to ask you, how do you plan to fight against Chief of Staff Gao?"

"You're making such a fuss over something so trivial? And you even have to talk about it in the car? I thought you were in such a rush to call me out to start a relationship," Jackie Chan laughed.

"Seriously, let's get down to business."

Long Xiaoyun glared helplessly at Jackie Chan, calming her inexplicably rapid heartbeat, and said seriously, "Is this all we can talk about?"

"You can date, so of course you can."

Jackie Chan, still acting nonchalantly, grinned casually and said, "Nothing special, just fight however you want."

Long Xiaoyun was definitely not satisfied with Jackie Chan's half-hearted answer and teased, "You don't look like someone who wants to win."

"What's this talk about winning or losing? Like they say, he's just a sparring partner anyway," Jackie Chan said.

"A sparring partner?" Long Xiaoyun smiled.

"Is this funny? I didn't say anything wrong." Jackie Chan pretended to be confused.

"Deliberately not taking the confrontation seriously, laughing and joking around, is this your cover-up for being modest? I have to say, your acting skills are terrible."

Long Xiaoyun's expression was very serious, highlighting the importance he attached to this matter.

Then they continued, "Do you really think that if you did that and ended up losing the match, anyone would appreciate the favor?"

Long Xiaoyun's eyes are truly sharp; he actually guessed seven or eight out of ten of Jackie Chan's thoughts.

With his laughter fading, Jackie Chan looked at the trees passing by and said, "I can do whatever I want. It's my freedom. I don't need anyone's approval. I'm happy as long as I'm happy."

Besides, what was just a sparring match for me, an insignificant contest, was very important to Chief of Staff Gao. What's wrong with being modest?

"you……"

Long Xiaoyun was angered by Jackie Chan's words. Her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed as she questioned, "Jackie Chan, are you even a soldier?"

"certainly."

Jackie Chan stood up straight and answered with confidence.

"Military exercises are like going to the battlefield to fight. As a true soldier, abandoning any confrontation or any responsibility is equivalent to desertion and is an indelible disgrace."

Long Xiaoyun's words were very strong, which shows how seriously she takes this matter.

"So what do you think I should do?"

Soldiers fight for honor, and when it comes to honor, Jackie Chan has to take it seriously.

"You actually know very well what you should do. You don't need me to teach you. You are a soldier with special qualities. You are smarter than anyone else."

Long Xiaoyun spoke very seriously, and every word she uttered was filled with deep emotion.

Jackie Chan looked tense and remained silent for a long time.

My decision began to waver.

Long Xiaoyun didn't say anything, but drove straight to the seaside, parked the car, and sat in the car to wait.

It was as if she understood Jackie Chan and knew what he would do.

"Thanks!"

Jackie Chan said two short words, then opened the car door and got out.

Keep walking and keep walking.

Until we reached the rocky beach.

Gazing at the distant horizon where the sky meets the earth, I felt the waves crashing against the rocks, sending sprays of water flying several meters high.

Jackie Chan's hidden fighting spirit, as if sensing the courage of the waves, began to slowly emerge.

Long Xiaoyun didn't wait, but drove away.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Another military off-road vehicle drove up, and Gao Cheng got out of it.

He was clearly there for Jackie Chan, and when he saw Jackie Chan standing on the rocks, he immediately strode over to him.

Sensing someone approaching from behind, Jackie Chan turned around with habitual alertness. Upon seeing Gao Cheng, he immediately greeted him, "Old leader, what brings you here?"

"It was quite a hassle to find you. It took me a long time to find out."

Gao Cheng walked over with a smile and stood side by side with Jackie Chan, gazing at the sea together.

"Back when you were a soldier under me, you were just a private, and I was already your company commander. It hasn't been long since then, and we've become adversaries. It's really unbelievable."

Gao Cheng's sentiments were genuine; he was truly amazed by Jackie Chan's achievements.

Even for military academy graduates, it is very difficult to climb to the rank of colonel in ten years; 99.9% of them cannot do it.

However, Jackie Chan not only succeeded, but he also started from the lowest rank of private.

That's two levels more difficult!

Regardless of whether this is unprecedented or unparalleled, Gao Cheng has never seen anyone else in his life achieve what Jackie Chan has.

"Yes, the world changes so fast, and we're changing just as fast, but..."

Jackie Chan changed the subject and said with a smile, "Whether I'm a private or a colonel, one thing has never changed and will never change."

"Oh? What is it?"

Gao Cheng's curiosity was piqued.

"You will always be my old company commander, and that will never change," Jackie Chan said earnestly.

"Haha, well said, well said!"

Gao Cheng was moved by Jackie Chan's words and couldn't help but reach out and pat Jackie Chan on the shoulder.

However, the height difference between the two is too great, and the hand patting the shoulder looks more like it's clinging to the shoulder, making the action look a bit strange and adding an inappropriate touch of comicality.

The feelings they had for each other back then were rekindled at this moment, and the two of them started talking non-stop.

We then talked for a long time.

It features Jackie Chan's many heroic deeds in the army, Gao Cheng's efforts to prevent the Steel Seventh Company from being reorganized, and various interesting stories about his comrades.

At the end of the conversation, Jackie Chan said with emotion, "Old Company Commander, you are my mentor. Without you, there would be no Jackie Chan today."

"Nonsense."

Gao Cheng deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You are where you are today because of yourself. If it weren't for me, Gao Cheng, as your company commander, there would have been someone else."

With your abilities and talents, nothing will change, and you will achieve the same success you have today.

You are the best soldier I have ever led. You have never let me down. You have always been my pride, and you will be my pride for the rest of my life.

Gao Cheng genuinely believed this; it was a heartfelt emotional outpouring, and these words were not meant to flatter.

He doesn't need to curry favor with Jackie Chan!

"If I have never let you down, I think I will never let you down in the future. I will strive to become a better version of myself."

Jackie Chan was speaking to Gao Cheng, but more importantly, he was speaking to himself.

"Okay, I believe you can do it. See you on the training field tomorrow."

Gao Cheng smiled and patted Jackie Chan on the shoulder, seemingly having gotten what he wanted. Without saying anything more, he turned and strode away.

Jackie Chan didn't call out to Gao Cheng, but smiled as he watched Gao Cheng's retreating figure.

He also had his own answer!

the next day.

The exercise was held as scheduled.

As the commander of the Western Assault Group, Jackie Chan led the Blue Team to launch an attack on Hill 131, engaging in a battle with the Red Team of Gaocheng.

Whoever captures the green flag on Hill 131 first will win the combat exercise.

This battle mode of seizing high ground may seem to have many different tactics on the surface, and there are many ways to take it down.

In reality, because it's a fixed point of contention, the combat mode is very limited.

The advantages of combined arms forces are not actually being realized.

The old-fashioned playing style actually has more advantages.

Jackie Chan has studied many classic battles and knows very well that there is a simple and effective way to take down Hill 131 without going through any complicated procedures.

But that kind of playing style is too traditional, and even if you win, it's meaningless.

The First Division is designed to adapt to future warfare. In future wars, there will be no need for troops to attack a high point. Artillery, missiles, and drones will be deployed in turn, and there will be no need to risk sending soldiers up there.

Since the First Division needs a commander who is forward-thinking and understands more modern tactics, then Jackie Chan needs to come up with a different fighting style.

Even if this fighting style is limited and its effectiveness is reduced, Jackie Chan must use innovative tactics and strategies.

Hill 131 is located at the southernmost tip of Tianhe Peninsula. Its unique terrain, surrounded by water on three sides, makes it easy to defend from the ground and difficult to attack, with the only breakthroughs being at sea.

Both Jackie Chan and Gao Cheng saw this and chose to break through from the sea.

It also serves as a demonstration of amphibious warfare capabilities.

As the red and blue armies officially engaged in combat, various artillery pieces began to bombard the high ground, and Deputy Commander Zhong also arrived at the exercise command post.

This was a carefully orchestrated scheme of his, and he needed to witness the final outcome firsthand.

"Reporting to the commander, the live-fire exercise has begun. Please provide instructions."

Wu Yiwen, who was unable to participate in the combat exercise, became the head of the command post. Upon seeing Deputy Commander Zhong approach, he immediately went up to report.

"Continue the exercise." Deputy Commander Zhong saluted.

"Yes."

Wu Yiwen returned the greeting and stepped aside.

Political Commissar Lu led Deputy Commander Zhong to the battle map and explained, "Commander, they are conducting artillery barrage, carrying out a saturation attack on Hill 131."

In twenty minutes, both the eastern and western groups will begin their crossings.

Deputy Commander Zhong stared at the map for a while, then asked curiously, "Tianhe Peak is a peninsula. Why did both groups choose the more difficult route instead of the closer one, abandoning the land route and opting for a water attack?"

A land attack can be launched directly by vehicle, and tanks can also conduct combined arms operations, making the attack much simpler.

An attack by water is much more complicated. It requires not only mobilizing land and air force vessels and assembling troops to board them, but also selecting a suitable beach landing point and finally taking advantage of enemy artillery fire to land on the beach.

Initiating an attack would require several additional steps if done by water.

Putting aside the difficulty of the attack.

In terms of attack methods, waterways are indeed more difficult.

"Perhaps they all want to demonstrate their amphibious warfare capabilities and take on greater challenges," Political Commissar Lu explained with a smile.

"Great, very good, even better than I imagined. This is going to be even more interesting."

Deputy Commander Zhong wanted to see a more intense and innovative confrontation, and when he heard that the difficulty had been increased, he was very happy and cheered repeatedly.

"Commander, we just received news that the troops from Gaocheng have begun boarding the ships first," Wu Yiwen reported.

"He's very quick," Deputy Commander Zhong praised.

"Commander, Staff Officer Gao has always been tough and has a clear tactical mind. Taking the lead in action is in line with his style," Political Commissar Lu also praised.

"It seems he has big ambitions and wants to finish this quickly," Minister Wang analyzed.

"I agree with Minister Wang's analysis."

Wu Yiwen flattered Minister Wang, then gestured ingratiatingly, "Sir, it's windy outside, and the battle is about to begin. Please move to the observation room."
