King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer Chapter 78 78: The Fearsome Jungle Veteran

Knowing full well that the mortar was in position, Joe Ga dared not launch the helicopter at all.

Because the mont he attempted to use the helicopter, he would inevitably be hit by a mortar barrage. The helicopter's take-off and landing were just too vulnerable.

But for Joe Ga to wait passively was even worse. It wasn't just a matter of personality; more importantly, the advantage was on his side right now, so he wanted to take the initiative to strike.

This would not seem like a wise choice by conventional wisdom, but he figured the enemy wouldn't expect people inside the mine to venture into the mountains during the day.

Joe Ga's choice was not due to recklessness, but because he had learned from Dorian that the Sea Hound rcenary Group's soldiers were professional and had experienced many tough battles.

Even if the Italian Troops were incompetent, the rcenaries tempered in actual combat would not be too weak, at least their commanders couldn't be idiots.

Their intention to attack and aid their encirclent was very clear, and these guys probably did not expect that the mine's personnel would be unprepared.

The two positions Antar had marked were very good, although they could be used to attack the mine from high grounds. They also had to face counterattacks from the mine.

With machine guns and sniper rifles able to cover those two positions, Joe Ga did not think the rcenaries would take such a risk.

If he were in their position, he'd rather wait for the reinforcents to land and first bombard them with 120mm mortars, then assess the situation before attacking.

Because their mission fundantally was not to break through the mine, but to force them to seek help from the Peacekeeping Troops.

Obviously, as long as the reinforcents were wiped out, Lu Jun in the mine would have no other choice.

Without discovering that the mine's people had drones and with an undercover of their own, this was the safest approach.

Because once the PMC reinforcents in the mine were severely damaged, with the mortar cover, the Kadin Clan people in the front would then have an opportunity.

Once the fire from inside the mine was forced to shift to the front, the Sea Hound would then have many options for revenge.

Joe Ga felt that if he were in the enemy's position, he would make such a choice.

Of course, Antar's point was correct, but the observer was using tactical thinking to analyze the enemy's intelligence. He did not take into account the identity and the actual situation of the opposition, treating them as a regular army to predict their movents, which would undoubtedly reduce accuracy.

Having shared his thoughts with the three people present, Joe Ga fell silent for a mont before saying, "Dragon Gecko and I will take the initiative to strike. There are only 21 people in total on the other side, including one of our undercover agents. It won't be difficult to take them down.

The most important thing is that I can't delay here too long. I need to et up with Dorian as soon as possible, then head to Kwajok in the south to take care of the people sent by the Mori Family and that English informant traitor."

After listening, Nis said, "Then I'll go with you. The enemy is on the other side of the mountain. Once the fighting starts, we won't be able to take care of you from here. I can set off in advance to find a place to cover you."

Joe Ga shook his head after listening and said, "No, I have a way to deal with them.

You guys stay here. If Dragon Gecko and I run into trouble, we'll choose to retreat in this direction.

If possible, have Owl plan an evacuation route and let know which positions are suitable for your shooting. I'll try to lead the pursuers 'past' as much as possible.

You can now use bullets to mark the spots. You are all experts who can hit the sa spot with your bullets. I trust my own gun and even more so your abilities."

......

Despite Lu Jun's and the others' persuasion, Joe Ga insisted on striking. The two changed into jungle camouflage, sneaked along the mine's wall for a while, and slipped out from the mine's front side.

The Kadin were driven back several kiloters by machine gunfire, and the Sea Hound's observation post hidden on the mountaintop, distracted by the sniper's pinpoint shooting, failed to notice Joe Ga and Karman slipping away.

Joe Ga had never fought in the woods before, but he had learned about so aspects of jungle warfare through books, and with an African veteran who had fought all his life by his side, he perford rather adequately.

Karman's movent and tracking abilities were inherited from the legendary 'Bushn' of Africa, a tribe in Africa known for their hunting and tracking, with a unique way of running and superhuman endurance that could run their prey to death.

Whether Karman could actually run his prey to death, Joe Ga didn't know, but when he walked, he really made little noise.

Wherever he went, Karman's feet rarely left the ground, even when he was running, and his feet were never more than half a foot off the ground, his stride was small, but he could adjust the frequency as needed.

Joe Ga had never seen Karman complain of exhaustion from walking, which once made Joe Ga question whether the physical training he completed in Egypt was actually useful?

With the sa 30-kilogram load, that old fellow Karman barely sweated even when running 5 kiloters alongside him.

Joe Ga had no way to solve the issue with physical condition, and he couldn't learn Karman's agile way of moving in a short ti, but following in Karman's footsteps was still no problem for him.

It wasn't until they had circled around for nearly 8 kiloters and approached the enemy after a large detour, that Joe Ga began to realize that along the way Karman rarely used a machete.

The old fellow always found it easy to navigate through the jungle, occasionally cutting down so thorns and vines to accommodate Joe Ga's relatively taller stature.

Although their route was winding and rugged, their speed was surprisingly fast.

They set off at 10 a.m., and by about 2 p.m., they had already bypassed a large area of hills and arrived behind the enemy.

Excluding the one-hour break for a al, Karman took only 3 hours to cover 8 kiloters in the jungle without any roads.

It might sound simple, but in reality, it was incredibly unbelievable.

This was partly because the vegetation and vines weren't too dense due to the higher latitude, but mostly because Karman's experience was just too rich.

After circling the hills and finding a concealed spot, Karman pulled Joe Ga back as he was about to sit on a log lying on the ground.

Facing Joe Ga's puzzled look, Karman pointed to a poison snake that was slithering away and said, "Boss, even if we've got witch dicine on us, we can't just sit down imdiately in the damp jungle, and definitely not on rotten logs like this one, which could contain more than you might imagine."

With that, Karman moved a stone from nearby to Joe Ga's feet and said, "Boss, you can sit on this stone to rest."

Joe Ga was soone who heeded advice, and he plonked himself down on the stone, taking out two bottles of water from his pack, giving one to Karman, and then pulling out a bag of Texas grilled chicken he'd gotten from the mines, tearing it open and handing half to Karman with a smile, saying, "I'm starving, all the food I had at noon is digested by now."

Watching Karman shuffle the grass a bit with his foot, flattening it in one direction before comfortably sitting down, and then starting to tear into the delicious grilled chicken, Joe Ga thought for a mont and then said, "Don't you have any suggestions?

Like what to watch out for in the jungle, or what to do during combat?"

Karman stopped eating his chicken, furrowed his eyebrows, and looked at Joe Ga, saying, "This isn't the Congo Rainforest, the visibility is quite good, as long as you spot the enemy first, with your shooting skills you'll definitely be able to kill them."

Joe Ga replied helplessly, "That's it? What if I can't spot the enemy in advance?"

Karman shook his head decisively and said, "That's not possible, I can guarantee you'll always be faster than them."

Continuing, Karman hesitated for a mont before adding, "But boss, what exactly is your plan?

I can take you right up to them, but I'm not sure I can take them all out in close combat.

And if it cos down to running, you'll still be in danger."

Joe Ga chuckled and said, "It's simple, I can't really just go at it hard..."
