Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 93 Another fight with Yuan Lang (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Just as Jackie Chan looked to his right, a figure suddenly rushed out from his left.

He kicked Jackie Chan in the back.

As it turned out, Jackie Chan reacted exceptionally quickly, discovering that what had fallen to the ground was a makeshift trap can, and then he heard light, hurried footsteps behind him.

In a mere fraction of a second, he completed the arched back stepping and waist tightening, concentrating his body's strength on his back.

Just as a kick lands on your back from behind, use a technique similar to the Iron Mountain Lean to forcefully counter the incoming kick from a defensive position.

Jackie Chan's body is incredibly strong.

He also used a bit of skill.

The person who attacked the plane from behind felt as if their foot had struck a hard rock, not a person.

Immediately afterwards, a strange force slammed into the soles of his feet, sending him flying backward.

It took a lot of effort to regain my balance. After landing, I took seven or eight steps back before I could barely stand up, thus avoiding a humiliating fall on my butt.

He had barely steadied himself for less than a second when he found a fist the size of a head already at his face.

That's incredibly fast!

There was no time to dodge.

The person performing the flying kick had no choice but to sacrifice themselves to save the king, lowering their head and using their hardest part—the forehead—to withstand the inevitable, ferocious punch.

"call--"

The fist came to a steady stop less than 10 centimeters away, and the gusts of wind generated by the fist made the hair shake wildly.

His face, which was usually so resolute, now showed a hint of surprise.

It seems they didn't expect Jackie Chan to react so quickly!

He is none other than himself.

It's Yuan Lang, who's frantically searching for Jackie Chan!

"Greetings, sir!"

Jackie Chan, who promptly recognized Yuan Lang and stopped attacking, withdrew his fist and saluted.

"You almost beat me to a pulp, so don't be so formal, relax."

Yuan Lang casually raised his hand in return, patted Jackie Chan's hand enthusiastically, and said, "Not bad, not bad at all. Your skills haven't suffered."

I heard you were hidden in the Fifth Squad on the grassland, and I was just about to go look for you. I didn't expect you to finally make it here.

"What do you want from me?"

Jackie Chan had guessed it, but he asked the question knowing the answer already.

"I know about the reorganization of your company. I've known since the day you captured me. It's now a training corps, and you've been assigned to the fifth platoon. I heard that's the worst platoon in the entire 702nd Regiment."

Yuan Lang took out a cigarette case, tapped it upside down, and said, "How was it feeling after spending half a year there?"

Many long-time smokers like to tap their cigarettes before smoking, as this makes the tobacco more compact and creates a more layered flavor.

"Not bad, I'm living a fulfilling life, and I've changed some people and things," Jackie Chan said with a smile.

"I can tell you've had a very fulfilling six months. You're much darker and stronger than before, more like a freakish monster. I ambushed you first and almost suffered a great loss at your hands."

Yuan Lang said he wasn't embarrassed at all about being hit; his eyes only showed increasing appreciation and affection.

He opened the cigarette pack, took out a Huazi cigarette, and handed it to Jackie Chan, saying, "Want one?"

"Thank you, but I don't smoke," Jackie Chan declined.

"It's good not to smoke; smoking shortens your lifespan."

Despite saying he was going to die young, Yuan Lang put the cigarette Jackie Chan had thrown away in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, and said, "Didn't you just ask me why I came here to find you? Let me tell you, I'm here to cause trouble."

"Making trouble? What do you mean?" Jackie Chan asked.

"Your commander is reluctant to part with you, so he's been trying every means to hide you. I have to cause him some trouble, so I'm taking a few of his men with me," Yuan Lang said seriously.

"Looks like Old A's assessment has begun!"

Jackie Chan silently recited it in his mind, but didn't say anything.

Yuan Lang continued, "Your soldiers are recruited from the local area, but the soldiers I need are selected from among the soldiers, only the best ones."

I've read your entire resume, and it really surprised and broadened my horizons.

With your educational background, you could have easily applied to a military academy. You would be a lieutenant now if you graduated. Why did you go to the Capital University and enlist as a soldier?

"Officers are soldiers, and soldiers are soldiers too, what's the difference?" Jackie Chan retorted.

"There's no difference," Yuan Lang said with a smile.

"Since I'm going to join the army anyway, I might as well go to the Capital University first to learn things I can't learn in the military, and then come to the army to learn military knowledge. I can still become an officer, and I'll learn just as much as I would at a military academy. Don't you think I can learn more than if I went straight to a military academy?"

Jackie Chan's answer was quite unique, a path Yuan Lang had never imagined.

For a moment, he was truly speechless!

Capital University has many academic exchanges with foreign countries, and it is easier to access a lot of foreign information through the school's intranet and foreign classmates.

In contrast, military academies are classified units, making it difficult to obtain a lot of external information.

Attending the Capital University first can make up for the lack of military academy education.

Attending a military academy first cannot make up for the lack of a university education in the capital.

Yuan Lang was unable to retaliate!

I could only tease you in a different way: "As expected of someone who's read a lot, your verbal skills are really impressive. I can't out-argue you."

"I'm not just good with words, I'm also pretty good with my fists," Jackie Chan joked back.

"Ha ha."

Yuan Lang laughed at Jackie Chan's words, then composed himself and said seriously, "You are indeed an anomaly, the only one I have ever seen."

You have a sharp mind, an amazing body, and most importantly, you can endure loneliness, have a calm and composed mindset, and are not anxious. You don't seem like a 22-year-old soldier at all.

I like people who aren't anxious. Such people aren't afraid of not getting what they want, nor are they afraid of loneliness; they're the most suitable for my line of work.

"I'm not anxious because I'm not worried at all; I have enough confidence," Jackie Chan said with a smile.

I like your confidence.

Yuan Lang took a drag of his cigarette and said seriously, "I won't beat around the bush in front of someone as smart as you. I'm here to recruit you."

Last time I asked you if you wanted to come with me, you refused. You probably won't refuse again this time, right?

"Why do you say that?" Jackie Chan asked.

"You said you were a soldier in the Steel Seventh Company. As long as the Steel Seventh Company existed, you would be there too. But now that the Steel Seventh Company is gone, you have to find yourself a new home," Yuan Lang said earnestly.

"The Steel Seventh Company is still there; it hasn't disappeared. It's now called the Training Corps," Jackie Chan corrected.

Stop deceiving yourself.

Yuan Lang ruthlessly exposed him: "The Steel Seventh Company is gone, and the training team is not suitable for you at all. Being an instructor and teaching students, repeating the same boring life every day, are you willing?"

With your talent, you have a bright future ahead of you. Why waste it in a place like that? You deserve a bigger stage. The training camp is too small; it simply can't accommodate you.

Yuan Lang's words were absolutely correct. From Jackie Chan's perspective, the training team was indeed not suitable for him at all.

"It's okay if the training team isn't a good fit. The 702nd Regiment has so many companies. I can go to other companies and still make the most of my talents."

Jackie Chan's words were not meant to be defiant towards Yuan Lang, but rather because he had genuinely considered such a thought.

Although Commander Wang had not shown him any favor or promoted him in any particular way, he genuinely cared for and liked him.

Jackie Chan felt that working under such a commander was pretty good.

The only pity is...

This is an armored regiment, completely unsuitable for big guys.

From the day the last all-infantry company of the 702nd Regiment, the Steel Seventh Company, was reorganized, to put it bluntly, the 702nd Regiment no longer had a place for Jackie Chan.

A place to live, literally!

Jackie Chan's physique is incredibly strong, and during the two years he served in the military, his height and weight both increased to varying degrees.

Jackie Chan is now 1.95 meters tall and weighs over 260 kilograms.

Before, it was somewhat manageable to squeeze them into armored vehicles, but now, with their height and weight, getting them into an armored vehicle is basically like stuffing an elephant into a cardboard box.

Yes, it's possible to get in.

But it was basically packed full.

Given the possibility that men will continue to grow taller and gain muscle mass in the next two years, it's not uncommon for men to reach the height of a 24-year-old.

Even if Jackie Chan really wanted to stay in the 702nd Regiment, no matter how much Commander Wang liked Jackie Chan.

It's also difficult to stay.

If Jackie Chan were forced to stay, his physical talents would not be fully realized, and he would have to suppress them to develop.

This is actually very disadvantageous.

It is also not suitable for Jackie Chan, who wants to reach new heights.

on the contrary.

If Jackie Chan were to join Team A, given his abilities, he would undoubtedly be a key player, and even on an international scale, he would be among the best.

Putting aside other things.

With Jackie Chan's physique and load-bearing capacity, he would have an absolute advantage in missions such as long-distance treks and infiltration behind enemy lines, which are most needed in special operations.

Whether it's the SAS, the pioneer of modern special forces, or the CAG and DG, which have the most extensive modern combat experience, the average height of their members exceeds 1.8 meters.

(PS: CAG Delta, DG Seals Team Six)

Being taller and stronger means having a greater load-bearing capacity, being able to carry more equipment and ammunition, and thus possessing greater combat power.

Modern special operations teams go out with all their belongings, and it is very difficult to get support from friendly forces when infiltrating behind enemy lines.

It's all about the equipment!

The more equipment you carry when you go out, the stronger your combat power will be. Conversely, if you are small and can't carry much, your combat power will be impossible to achieve.

In addition to the usual sleeping bags, clothes, and food, others can carry an extra 1000 rounds of ammunition, 10 hand grenades, plastic bombs, and directional explosive bombs.

Besides the usual items, you can barely carry 300 bullets and three grenades. You can't carry anything else, and you're so heavy you can't straighten your back.

If the two sides encounter each other in the wild and their skills are roughly equal, how can you expect to fight them head-on?

You can't just use up all the bullets you brought and rely on your small size and speed to stab the enemy with a knife.

Reality isn't like a movie where you can easily find a way around someone.

Doing that will only lead to your death!

Anyone who has played a few rounds of PUBG knows that in long-range gunfights, whoever has more bullets, better equipment, and more medkits wins.

Whoever is more awesome!

Moreover, with the continuous advancement of technology, there will be an increasing variety of military supplies used in warfare, all of which will need to be carried on duty.

As the amount of equipment and supplies that need to be carried increases, the load requirements for soldiers will also become higher.

Future special forces members.

They will only get stronger and taller.

(PS: As the physical fitness of people in China has improved, they have more options. Many places in China are now recruiting special police officers, and the height requirement is now 1.85 meters. Special forces members are also given priority if they are 1.8 meters or taller.)

Forget about those old-fashioned calendars that say special forces soldiers only need to be 1.6 or 1.7 meters tall; that was the average height in our country back then, and you didn't have a choice.

Try carrying 100 kilograms on your back and marching 100 kilometers if you're 1.6 or 1.7 meters tall.

I'll grind your bones to dust!

The claims that large people are more likely to be shot, are more easily detected when camouflaged, and consume more energy are simply absurd and nonsensical nonsense from street vendor literature.

Leaving aside the camouflage effects of various ghillie suits, camouflage clothing, and camouflage combat uniforms, camouflage is a basic skill of special operations, and the quality of camouflage does not depend on being 10 centimeters taller.

and.

The best special forces soldiers are from Europe and America. They have real combat experience every day, so they have more experience and their techniques are much more rational than those in China.

This isn't licking; it's a fact.

You must admit your shortcomings. You can fool yourself for a while, but you can't fool yourself forever.

Can the world's strongest special forces be created through exercises?

Stop kidding me!

Why would a special forces unit built with the resources of the entire nation select taller, stronger members instead of shorter individuals known for their better concealment?

Is it really just to make it easier for the enemy to hit them?

That's utter nonsense!

Previously, special forces members in China tended to be smaller in stature. This was partly due to the fact that Asians are generally not as physically strong as Europeans and Americans, and partly due to the fact that the overall physical fitness of the population had not yet improved.

Back then, the national average height was around 1.6 meters. If you insisted on picking people who were all over 1.8 meters tall, and who were also intelligent and suitable to be special forces soldiers, that would be great.

Then there's no need to form special forces.

Because there simply aren't that many suitable ones available.

It's precisely because we couldn't find enough suitable people that we had to select the best of the best, mostly people who are around 1.7 meters tall.

China's earliest special forces unit, the Southern Sword, was established in 1988.

Old A was only established in the 90s.

Our special operations are truly inferior to those of other countries. Our information warfare was inspired by their campaign against Kuwait, and our special operations are also entirely modeled after foreign militaries.

They started by imitating others!

Even though our army was the best in the world at guerrilla warfare back then, defeating the Americans so badly they were crying and begging for mercy.

But modern special forces are not the guerrillas of yesteryear.

Modern warfare is no longer the same old thing; it involves satellite triads, information integration, and top-tier equipment.

Those who have practical experience are ahead of the curve, and those who come later can only learn from them.

Yuan Lang was the person most valued by the captain of the Old A Company because he had a unique and forward-looking vision; he could see things that other captains could not.

therefore.

Yuan Lang not only knew very well that Cheng Long was no longer suitable for the 702nd Regiment, which was undergoing full armor mechanization, but also knew what kind of soldiers the A Brigade urgently needed.

Without it.

It's a team member who's a big guy like Jackie Chan!

Each member of a special operations squad has their own role, including assault soldiers, snipers, medics, and also heavy firepower specialists who can withstand heavy blows.

A sufficiently powerful heavy firepower player is the team's strongest support.

Whether or not one can become the strongest support depends on their load-bearing capacity.

There is no perfect one now, only relatively suitable and sufficient ones.

There's a huge difference between "good enough" and "perfect".

To find someone with sufficient military talent, a strong enough physique, the ability to carry heavy loads, and who isn't just a big, muscular brute.

In the late 90s, when the living standards of the characters in "Soldiers' Assault" had not yet improved and meat, protein, and milk were still considered luxuries in China.

It's so hard!

Now that Yuan Lang has finally caught a perfect Jackie Chan, who is outstanding in all aspects except physical ability and is a true all-rounder, his eyes are shining and he is extremely eager to recruit him into the team.

As long as there is even a 1% chance, Yuan Lang will not give up easily.
