Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Most of the battalions participated in the exercise, except for two battalions which were left idle.

Therefore, the commanders of the missile squadron and the army aviation squadron did not participate in the exercise and are now sitting in the observation room.

Upon seeing Deputy Commander Zhong walk in, the two immediately stood up and shouted, "Greetings, Commander!"

"Aren't you two a little uncomfortable sitting in such a spacious observation room all by yourself?" Deputy Commander Zhong joked.

This exercise didn't require missiles or aircraft, so the men from both battalions were resting at the camp, leaving the two battalion commanders with nothing to do.

"Reporting to the commander, we don't need a sledgehammer to crack a nut," the missile squadron leader replied.

"You're getting cocky just because I called you fat. Don't worry, you'll come in handy someday."

Deputy Commander Zhong glanced at the troublemaker captain, then led Minister Wang and Political Commissar Lu to the front row and sat down, taking off his hat and placing it on the table in front of him.

Wu Yiwen did not sit down, but came to the front and pointed to the military maps hanging on the left and right sides, saying: "Commander, this is Gao Cheng's East Assault Group deployment, and this is Cheng Long's West Assault Group."

Both are equidistant from Hill 131, and their conditions are basically the same in all aspects.

Currently, the Eastern Assault Group is in the lead; the entire force has departed and is halfway through its voyage, rapidly approaching the Tianhe Peninsula.

Following Wu Yiwen's instructions, the technician switched the camera to show the landing ship where Gao Cheng was located.

You can see Takashiro standing at the bow of the ship, holding up binoculars to look at the Tianhe Peninsula in the distance.

"It seems Gao Cheng has a plan in mind," Minister Wang praised.

"As a battlefield commander, one must have the spirit of unstoppable momentum."

Deputy Commander Zhong also admired Gao Cheng and commented on the spot: "In this respect, the higher-ups have grasped the situation."

He had already taken his starting position during the fire preparation phase, and had already begun his voyage when the second wave of attacks was launched.

In that case, his subsequent progress will be much more relaxed.

Wu Yiwen definitely didn't want Gao Cheng to win, as it would be very disadvantageous for him. So he immediately suggested, "Sir, Gao Cheng has already understood. Should we look at Jackie Chan's situation?"

"Of course I want to see it."

Deputy Commander Zhong laughed, showing his growing interest in Jackie Chan.

"Remove the western group from the group," Wu Yiwen immediately ordered.

"Yes."

The technician immediately switched the camera to the command post of the western group.

Jackie Chan wasn't in the movie.

"The battle has already begun, but the commander is not in the command post. This is too chaotic."

Deputy Commander Zhong was somewhat annoyed and shouted, "Find Jackie Chan for me!"

"Yes."

The training ground was equipped with a large number of cameras, and the technicians quickly located Jackie Chan's position by searching the images from each camera.

But Jackie Chan was still strolling on the beach, showing no signs of wanting to fight.

If it weren't for the communications soldier carrying a radio behind him, ready to receive information from the outside world at any time, one would think Jackie Chan was on vacation at the beach.

"Good heavens, they're actually strolling on the beach. They're so carefree!" the missile captain exclaimed in astonishment.

"Chief of Staff Cheng, have you forgotten the attack time and are unaware that the exercise has already begun? Should we call and remind him?" Liang Hang said.

Upon hearing the discussion behind him, Deputy Commander Zhong's good mood vanished instantly.

With a stern face, he asked, "Pull it out for me, where is Jackie Chan's fleet located?"

shuh~

Screen switch.

Several landing ships were moored on the dock, but the tanks and personnel had not yet boarded. The ships were empty and remained quietly moored.

"Gao Cheng's troops have been gone for half an hour, but Jackie Chan's ship is still docked. The difference is too big. Isn't this a joke?"

Wu Yiwen's words seem reasonable at first glance, but upon closer listening, they seem to be stirring up trouble.

Deputy Commander Zhong remained silent.

His brows furrowed.

Jackie Chan appears to be strolling along the beach, but in reality, he's not just taking a walk; he has his own battle plan that outsiders simply can't understand.

At this moment, Wu Zhe and Long Xiaoyun also came over.

"Boss, why aren't you in command post? What are you doing here? I've been looking for you everywhere!" Wu Zhe called out from a distance.

"I'm observing the tides," Jackie Chan said.

"I've retrieved the data on ocean currents and tides for Tianhe Island; it's all here." Long Xiaoyun handed over the data she had brought.

"Is this just satellite remote sensing data?" Jackie Chan asked as he looked at it.

"We also have the real-time dynamic data from the ocean network, which we haven't received yet, but the analysis results will be available soon," Long Xiaoyun said.

"Great, this is exactly what I wanted."

Jackie Chan carefully put away the satellite remote sensing data, strode towards the command post, and said, "Let's go back now, we should be out by now."

Jackie Chan led Long Xiaoyun and his group back to the command post, causing quite a commotion in the observation room.

This sparked another round of discussion.

Some say that it's too late to get back to the command post now, as it will take time to prepare and set off.

Some say that Hill 131 is not easy to climb; it's not a matter of who gets there first. With good tactics, it's possible for someone to come from behind and take the lead.

In short, each side has its own reasons.

Back at the command center, Jackie Chan was immediately taken to a computer to view the data analysis results obtained from the Ocean Network.

"Based on comprehensive analysis, the tide will reach full speed around Hill 131 at 2:20 PM..."

Based on the analysis results, Jackie Chan and Long Xiaoyun began to discuss together, and the footage of the two of them appearing on camera at the same time was also transmitted to the command room.

Seeing this handsome man and beautiful woman, everyone felt they were a perfect match.

Even Vice Commander Zhong relaxed his brows and smiled again, jokingly saying, "Jackie Chan and Long Xiaoyun, I didn't expect them to be so in sync. One is technical and the other is theoretical. These two are truly an alliance."

"I heard they've collaborated before, so it's understandable that they have a tacit understanding," Minister Wang said.

"Oh? They've worked together before?"

Deputy Commander Zhong's interest was piqued, and he unusually inquired about Minister Wang's gossip.

Minister Wang, who had obtained some information through various channels, naturally shared his insights with Deputy Commander Zhong without reservation, given his interest in the matter.

Inside the Western Group Command Center.

After analyzing the tidal information, Jackie Chan and Long Xiaoyun have found a point where they can set off.

Jackie Chan immediately began to formulate a battle plan, dictating it to Long Xiaoyun, who then sent the commands directly on the computer.

"Starting at 11:50 a.m. on the 25th, all tanks entered combat readiness."

The formation will depart in fifteen minutes, arrive at the designated sea area and deploy before 2 PM, and launch the attack at 2:10 PM, rapidly advancing in multiple directions, with tanks and armored vehicles assaulting in pre-arranged formations…

With the prepared orders issued to the troops, the Western Assault Group finally began its operations.

Tanks drove into the amphibious landing ship, armored vehicles boarded the landing craft, and various logistical supplies were loaded onto the ship by trucks.

In contrast to the bustling scene at the dock, Jackie Chan in the command center was reading a newspaper.

This scene, when it reached the observation room, caused another uproar.

"Well, the exercise has only just begun, but the commander already has nothing to do."

Deputy Commander Zhong shook his head speechlessly, truly unsure how to evaluate Jackie Chan. He felt that every step Jackie Chan took was off track.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Deputy Commander Zhong inquired, "What's the situation in Gaocheng now?"

"Reporting to the commander."

As the image of Gaocheng appeared on the big screen, Wu Yiwen stepped forward to explain: "The eastern group of Gaocheng is approaching Tianhe Peak."

The high command's intentions were clear: he wanted to use a portion of the forces for a feint attack on the front, while sending an armored battalion and a reconnaissance company to outflank the south side of Tianhe Peak and launch a surprise attack on the command post on Hill 131.

Wu Yiwen possessed the God's Eye of the Exercise Department, and his analysis was almost entirely accurate.

"A sneak attack..."

Deputy Commander Zhong commented, "Hmm, this is indeed a bold move. However, the south side of Tianhe Peak is a cliff more than 100 meters high. It won't be easy to get over there. Can Gao Cheng's soldiers grow wings and fly?"

A cliff over 100 meters high is indeed not a problem for a small number of professional climbers.

However, it's not so easy to get an entire platoon to climb up; the more people there are, the higher the risk.

Fortunately, the tank battalion was only responsible for providing long-range firepower and did not need to climb the cliff that was over 100 meters high.

Otherwise, there's no fun at all.

"Staff Officer Gao has studied abroad and has previously led a reconnaissance battalion. He is quite familiar with special reconnaissance operations and cliff terrain. He must have confidence to take this risky move," Political Commissar Lu guessed.

"This proves the old saying, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' It seems that Gao Cheng should have no problem taking Tianhe Peak within an hour."

Deputy Commander Zhong gave it a very high evaluation and currently acknowledges Gao Cheng's tactics.

Before Jackie Chan could demonstrate any skills and was still in the initial stages of the exercise, the entire training ground became a one-man show for Gao Cheng.

Without comparison, there is no harm done; it's normal for Deputy Commander Zhong to receive high praise.

As planned, the East Assault Group approached Donghe Island, and with a command from Commander Gao Cheng, the island landing operation officially began.

First, the naval guns bombarded the shore, and all the various targets were blown to smithereens.

After destroying the various defensive fortifications set up on the shore, the infantrymen boarded assault boats and began their beach landing, rushing onto the sand in a flurry.

Subsequent landing craft followed closely behind, releasing the steel behemoths onto the beach.

The tanks' artillery fire joined the battle, making the exercise even more intense.

Those in the observation room, witnessing this attack, felt a sense of unease as they compared it to the Western Group still preparing at the dock.

"Hey, this showdown between Jackie Chan and Gao Cheng is kind of like an eight-year-old kid playing with his bride, just minding their own business."

The missile squadron leader couldn't hold back any longer and complained to the army aviation squadron leader next to him, "Look at the offensive that Chief of Staff Gao is launching, it's so fierce, wave after wave."

The special reconnaissance soldiers had already circled around to the back and had begun climbing up the mountain from the back.

Jackie Chan's side, on the other hand, had only just begun. The difference in skill between the two was immediately apparent, and the answer to who would ultimately win was already quite obvious.

"Each person can eat half a sheep, so nobody's afraid of anyone. It's hard to say until the very end," Liang Hang laughed.

"Maybe Jackie Chan is just a coward who knows when to back down. He's deliberately putting on an act. After all, Gao Cheng is his old company commander, so he has to keep a low profile," the missile battalion commander speculated.

Deputy Commander Zhong and Minister Wang listened to the discussion behind them, their expressions differing, but neither interrupted.

"Tigers and leopards each go their own way. Jackie Chan and Gao Cheng are just different in their tactics; it's not that mysterious." The army aviation captain had a different opinion.

"Perhaps, but they both have one thing in common," the missile squadron leader said mysteriously.

"What mistake?" the army aviation squadron leader asked curiously.

"Why not use missiles? Missiles would be so much easier. Strong firepower is the only way to achieve justice."

The missile squadron leader spoke in a serious tone, which amused the army aviation squadron leader, who pointed at him and laughed, "You really live up to your name, a squadron leader who specializes in causing trouble, haha."

"Captain Gao."

Deputy Commander Zhong couldn't stand it any longer and specifically called out the missile squadron leader.

"arrive!"

The missile squadron leader immediately stood up.

"If a commander uses missiles in every battle, big or small, then as Captain Liang said, he is just causing trouble."

"Hahaha……"

As soon as Deputy Commander Zhong said this, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"However, I'm worried for them, but I can't do anything about it," Captain Gao explained.

"I've heard your discussion, and some of it makes a lot of sense. As the saying goes, laymen watch the show, while experts see the details. Based on the current battlefield situation, who do you predict will win?" Deputy Commander Zhong asked.

"It's a sure thing, Staff Officer Gao is confident of victory. I like his tactics. Jackie Chan is unpredictable; he's either putting on a show or forcibly setting up a formation. There's no need for such meticulous planning when attacking such a small hill," Captain Gao commented.

"Commander."

Captain Liang of the Army Aviation Brigade stood up and replied, "I think that, judging from the current battlefield situation, Jackie Chan has indeed fallen behind, while Gao Cheng has taken the lead."

However, Jackie Chan is not without hope; theoretically, their chances of winning are even.

The key is whether Jackie Chan's heavy equipment and tanks can successfully get up there...

While the discussion was in full swing in the observation room, the West Group landing ships under Jackie Chan's command finally all docked at Tianhe Island beach.

Armored vehicles and tanks disembarked and began their attack on Tianhe Peak.

Heavy artillery pieces were also towed off the ship and moved to suitable positions by tractors for subsequent fire strikes.

Upon seeing Jackie Chan's troops, Deputy Commander Chung finally arrived belatedly to join the assault.

The two forces began their attack on Hill 131 using different tactics.

He stood up, picked up his hat, and said, "Alright, we can't just watch TV anymore. With such a big event, watching TV is like seeing only a part of the whole picture."

"Let's go out and check out the front lines. Captain Liang, now's your time to step up. Prepare a helicopter immediately." (End of Chapter)
