Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 80 No new recruits can get into the Old A, but I'll make an exception for you! (4000-word chapter, please subscribe and vote!)

Previously, when Yuan Lang and Jackie Chan had a one-on-one fight, Yuan Lang insisted on going head-to-head to test Jackie Chan's strength, and as a result, he almost got beaten to a pulp.

The bruises from the forceful blocking are now starting to flare up, and it feels like the pain is even deep inside my bones.

Fortunately, Yuan Lang was patient enough to endure it.

Replace it with some kind of "young and handsome" actor.

He's probably lying on the ground crying his heart out, begging his mother to take him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Most people, even if it was just a rehearsal, wouldn't harbor hatred if they were beaten like that, but they would still lose face and would certainly not give Jackie Chan another chance.

But Yuan Lang had no reservations whatsoever; in fact, this was the second time he had extended the invitation.

This is enough to show.

Yuan Lang's magnanimity, courage, and vision are unmatched by most people.

He is definitely a qualified leader, and a trustworthy and reliable leader. You will never regret following him to Old A.

Yuan Lang started pulling Jackie Chan in front of everyone, which aroused the gossip interest of the Class 3 students.

They stopped working and just stood there watching.

"What is Old A? Is it very powerful?" the newbie Bai Tiejun asked curiously.

"It's more than just powerful; it's a special operations brigade directly under our army group. The people who can get in are the kings of soldiers from their respective units."

Gan Xiaoning spoke with great difficulty, her words filled with both pain and longing.

once Upon a time.

As a veteran, although his abilities were limited, he had dreamed of becoming a veteran.

"The King of Soldiers? If the commander wants Brother Long to go with him, doesn't that mean Brother Long can join the elite unit? And he doesn't even need to go through the selection process?" a sergeant said enviously.

"It's perfectly normal for Jackie Chan to join the Old A; he's fully capable of it," Wu Liuyi said seriously.

There was envy in their eyes, but even more so, there was a sense of blessing.

A large group of men from the Seventh Steel Company huddled together instead of working, chatting amongst themselves, which quickly caught the attention of Company Commander Gao Cheng.

Seeing Yuan Lang and Jackie Chan standing together again, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

A strong premonition is that something bad is about to happen!

He immediately quickened his pace and walked towards Jackie Chan, and on the way he heard Yuan Lang still trying to persuade him.

"Still thinking about it? I think you're pretty good. Come with me. Team A is your world. Your abilities are far superior to those 'pumpkins.' It's a waste for you to stay at the bottom. You need a bigger stage..."

"No need to consider it!"

Gao Cheng interrupted Yuan Lang from a distance, walked over anxiously, and deliberately blocked Cheng Long's way, saying, "Yes, that's right. Everyone at the grassroots level of our group army is indeed scrambling to get into the Old A."

But Jackie Chan is not only an excellent soldier, but also a born commander. The path he chooses to take doesn't need to pass through your area.

Gao Cheng and Commander Wang shared the same idea: they both wanted to groom Cheng Long for a command career.

"Your vision is too narrow."

Yuan Lang composed himself and said seriously, "Team A is a strategic unit. Our role on the battlefield can often change the course of a war."

No matter how a commander directs his troops in battle, his ultimate goal remains the same: to win the war.

We are all part of the battlefield, each playing our own role. There is no hierarchy; we are all serving the war effort.

The only deciding factor is him…

Yuan Lang pointed at Jackie Chan and continued, "It's about which path he wants to take, what his choices are, not what you need him to do."

Gao Cheng knew that what Yuan Lang said was true.

The role of special operations forces at the military region level in war cannot be compared with that of grassroots companies, battalions, and units; their strategic value is at least at the regimental level or above.

The 702nd Regiment's crushing defeat in this red-blue force confrontation exercise was largely due to the machinations of these veteran A-class soldiers.

Their roles included spearheading operations to eliminate enemy eyes and ears, infiltrating and conducting reconnaissance, striking enemy forces, guiding operations, locating enemy command posts, and creating electronic maps of the battlefield situation.

Various unexpected and unpredictable maneuvers put the 702nd Regiment in an extremely passive position.

The Blue Army was able to advance unimpeded, accurately strike and defeat various units of the 702nd Regiment, forcing the 702nd Regiment, as the attacking force, to passively defend.

If Jackie Chan joins as a senior member, he can exert strategic influence and play a role within one or two years.

In contrast, Jackie Chan takes the route of a commander.

At least you have to be promoted to the rank of regimental commander and be able to lead and command a regiment in combat before you can generate the same value as if you were in Old A now.

If Jackie Chan wanted to become a leader, he would have to rise to the top like a rocket.

That will be at least ten or twenty years from now.

In this way...

Whether to go to Old A or stay is indeed a question worth pondering.

Although Gao Cheng really wanted Jackie Chan to pursue a career in command, he was not a selfish or autocratic person and knew that he had no right to interfere with Jackie Chan's life.

Instead of directly refusing, they decided to return the initiative to Jackie Chan.

"Go to Old A, or stay, the choice is yours."

After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he looked to the side, seemingly indicating that he would not interfere with him from now on, but in reality, his eyes were full of Jackie Chan.

All my attention was focused on Jackie Chan; I was so nervous that my throat went dry.

Gao Cheng is genuinely worried that Jackie Chan will leave!

"The big monster is back on you again."

Yuan Lang looked at Jackie Chan and smiled again; he still believed that Jackie Chan would go with him.

Old A represents the pinnacle of dreams and a goal that all soldiers in grassroots units aspire to reach; no one can resist this allure.

Moreover, since its establishment, the Old A Brigade has never had a private join it.

Yuan Lang has every reason to believe this.

Jackie Chan has been hesitant to give an answer because he is reluctant to leave the Steel Seventh Company and feels guilty for letting down the company commander who has been so good to him.

Ultimately, for the sake of their future, they will inevitably succumb to temptation.

"Boom boom boom..."

The furious roar of engines rapidly approached from afar.

Soon, a Warrior military vehicle with camouflage paint, a snorkel on the left side, and a heavy machine gun mounted on top came speeding over, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Tch~~"

When the car was about ten meters away from Yuan Lang, it braked suddenly and slid two or three meters on the dirt road before coming to a stop.

The Steel Seventh Company members, who were originally discussing Jackie Chan, were all drawn to the imposing armed off-road vehicle and stared at it intently.

"Want me to pick you up?" Gao Cheng asked.

Yuan Lang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything, giving off an expression that said, "You'll find out soon enough."

The car came to a complete stop in less than two seconds.

Qi Huan, dressed in the same uniform as Yuan Lang, ran over, saluted Yuan Lang and called him "Captain," and then saluted Gao Cheng and called him "Company Commander Gao."

His movements and demeanor were neither humble nor arrogant, but crisp and efficient, very much in the style of a special forces unit.

"Um."

Gao Cheng casually raised his hand as a return gesture.

It wasn't that Gao Cheng was acting arrogant because of his high rank; it was just that the elite A unit was practically robbing people right at his doorstep. It would be strange if Gao Cheng was still in a good mood.

Fortunately, Qi Huan didn't mind and said to Yuan Lang, "We can go now."

"What time do we leave?" Yuan Lang asked.

"6:20."

As Qi Huan answered, he noticed the injury on Yuan Lang's face and asked anxiously, "Captain, what happened to your face? Should I get a first-aid kit to treat it?"

"No need. I played a game with a monster for a while and accidentally got a minor scratch."

Yuan Lang waved his hand in refusal, glanced at his watch, turned to Jackie Chan and said, "It's almost time. Want to get in the car with me? I'll prepare all your luggage."

Qi Huan noticed Jackie Chan as soon as he got out of the car, and exclaimed in his heart, "This guy is too strong!"

It's rare to see a soldier this big.

But he thought he was just a big, dumb guy, and his shoulder insignia showed that he was only a private, a new recruit who had just joined the army. What outstanding qualities could he possibly have?

Therefore, Duke Huan of Qi was only slightly surprised and did not think much of it.

But I never expected it.

Before leaving, Yuan Lang, the captain he respected most, even went to ask the big, clumsy guy about it, his tone clearly ingratiating.

This truly shocked Duke Huan of Qi!

As Yuan Lang's close follower and assistant, Qi Huan knew better than anyone how strict his captain was when it came to selecting people.

"nitpicking" is an understatement; it's like finding fault with an egg.

The big guy in front of him was just a private, and had only been in the army for a year at most. He just looked a bit strong.

What merits or qualities does she possess that would earn Yuan Lang's high regard and lead him to personally extend invitations time and again?

Duke Huan of Qi couldn't understand it at all!

But when you see the two wounds on Yuan Lang's face, and the slight awkwardness that comes through when he moves his hands and feet, it seems that he is not so flexible anymore.

It was connected to Yuan Lang who took his tools and went to the position of the Seventh Steel Company early this morning.

Not long after, he received a notification that he should go to the camp of the Seventh Steel Company to pick up people.

Then compare it to Jackie Chan's intimidating physique.

Qi Huan seemed to know the reason, but there were still some things he couldn't understand, so he could only look at Jackie Chan and Yuan Lang with a strange expression.

To be honest.

If Jackie Chan hadn't been familiar with the plot and didn't already like Yuan Lang, he would have readily agreed to Yuan Lang's repeated and enthusiastic invitations.

But he knew what was going to happen next, and he still wanted to do his best to change the fate of the Steel Seventh Company.

The Steel Seventh Company, which insisted on "never abandoning or giving up," was eventually forced to dismantle into pieces, with all its members being assigned to different companies throughout the regiment.

This ending is just too cruel!

Jackie Chan doesn't know if he can change anything, but since he's been able to come into this world, he'll try his best.

As long as you've done your best, the outcome doesn't matter, and you'll have no regrets in life.

If Jackie Chan were to go to Old A with Yuan Lang at this time, he would inevitably miss the most important turning point for the Steel Seventh Company, which was something Jackie Chan could not accept.

Moreover, even if he doesn't agree to Yuan Lang's request now, Jackie Chan believes that with his abilities, he will be able to join the Old A team later.

Furthermore, he entered Old A through the selection and assessment based on his own abilities, which is equivalent to being specially recruited through the back door compared to now, where he was merely chosen by Yuan Lang.

The former is clearly more convincing, and Jackie Chan can enter in a more aboveboard manner.

The most important and core thing is...

Gao Cheng is truly a very good company commander. Jackie Chan doesn't want to be seen as a traitor by him, a traitor who abandoned the Steel Seventh Company for personal gain.

Even if he couldn't change the fate of the Steel Seventh Company, he would still follow Gao Cheng to the very last second.

This is what "never give up, never abandon" truly means!

This is the core reason why Jackie Chan likes Soldiers Sortie and regards it as a "legendary drama" in his heart.

After thinking it over carefully, Jackie Chan straightened his back and said in a booming voice, "Thank you for your kindness, Commander. Although I have said that the camp remains but the soldiers come and go."

However, the barracks are the soldiers' home; as long as the home remains, the soldiers will remain.

"Once a soldier of the Steel Seventh Company, always a soldier of the Steel Seventh Company. As long as the Steel Seventh Company needs me, I will never leave here."

"it is good."

As soon as Jackie Chan finished speaking, Gao Cheng excitedly shouted "Bravo!" and patted Jackie Chan's chest, praising him, "As expected of the soldier I, Gao Cheng, have chosen, you are indeed a real man. You have not disappointed me at all, hahaha."

Gao Cheng's hearty laughter seemed unstoppable.

"Is this your decision?"

Yuan Lang stared at Jackie Chan expressionlessly for more than 5 seconds.

Then it was like springtime, with flowers blooming.

His expressionless face suddenly broke into a smile, a smile even brighter than Gao Cheng's. He drew the Type 92 pistol from his waist and tucked it directly into Jackie Chan's outer belt.

"What is this?" Jackie Chan asked in confusion.

"Here, take it and play with it. Keep it safe, and give it back to me next time we meet."

As Yuan Lang finished speaking, he patted Jackie Chan's clothes firmly and turned to Qi Heng, asking, "Are there any more liquid grenades in the car?"

"There are four boxes left."

Qi Huan, unaware of Yuan Lang's intentions, answered truthfully.

"Bring them all here," Yuan Lang ordered.

"yes!"

Qi Huan turned and walked towards the Warriors military vehicle, opened the trunk and took out two cases of beer, placed them in front of Company Commander Gao, and then ran back to get the other two cases.

"Company Commander Gao, thank you for your kind treatment of the prisoners. This is a small gift from me, and also a token of my appreciation to the brothers of the Seventh Company. I'll take my leave now."

After Yuan Lang finished speaking, he turned to Jackie Chan and said, "Keep my gun safe. We'll be meeting soon."

After leaving behind another cryptic remark, Yuan Lang turned and strode toward the Warriors' military vehicle.

Jackie Chan wasn't taken away by Yuan Lang, and Gao Cheng's hostility towards Yuan Lang immediately decreased. He shouted from behind, "Old A's level is definitely higher than Old Bu's. Even the beer they drink is a grade higher than ours."

"Of course, otherwise why would everyone want to come to Old A?"

After speaking, Yuan Lang opened the car door, got in, and patted the door, ordering, "Let's go!"

"Boom~~"

The military vehicle started up and quickly drove away.

The soldiers of the third squad watched the armored vehicle leave, and then they all went over and punched Cheng Long in the chest twice, with Wu Liu hitting him the hardest.

Jackie Chan's refusal of the enormous temptation of a direct path to the top tier was something they never expected.

Jackie Chan's ability to resist temptation and resolutely choose to stay for the Steel Seventh Company earned him the heartfelt admiration of all the Steel Seventh Company soldiers present.

What is a man?

This is!

Taking advantage of the high spirits and the end of the exercise, Gao Cheng gave the order: "Third squad leader, go down and tell the cooks immediately that everyone will have a dinner party tonight. Add some hearty dishes and have a good time."

"Yes, platoon leader."

Shi Jin responded loudly and rushed out happily.
