Mercenary’s War Chapter 1512 - 1493: Makeshift Methods

People gradually arrived, and mbers of Satan and Black Demon gathered in the villa they had rented.

The high-powered telescopes have been bought as well, and they were easy to acquire. Gao Yang and his team bought three telescopes with tripods, placed in the room on the third floor, allowing several people to monitor Djo’s villa at the sa ti.

Telescopes with too high a magnification are difficult to use by hand due to excessive shaking; they must be fixed with a tripod to observe properly.

Cui Bo held a handheld laser rangefinder and observed for a mont, then whispered to Gao Yang beside him, "1398 ters to the easternmost end of the swimming pool, 1377 ters to the rooftop."

Gao Yang let out a sigh, sowhat frustrated, "It’s beyond my range."

Gao Yang’s rifle has a maximum range of 1200 ters. Beyond that distance, it’s not that he can’t shoot—the bullet retains enough speed and power—but the spread becos too wide, making hitting the target a gamble.

Cui Bo nodded, then smiled and said, "It’s within my range."

Gao Yang expressed so concern, "This is 1400 ters, can you handle it?"

Cui Bo extended his thumb towards Djo’s villa, closing one eye to aim for a long ti, and then confidently said, "No problem, I just need one shot!"

At 1400 ters, regardless of the rifle, it’s ultra-long-range shooting. At this distance, Gao Yang has no confidence in taking down the enemy in one shot. Even with a large-caliber sniper rifle, it’s the sa.

Therefore, while Gao Yang is the best marksman, he never dared to consider himself the best sniper. He claims invincibility in mid-to-long-range distances within a thousand ters. Beyond a thousand ters, he can shoot but can’t ensure a single shot will do the trick. It’s not an issue of his marksmanship but the shooting technique.

Gao Yang excels at quick aim and quick fire. Even if the first shot misses the enemy, he can quickly follow up with a second shot. His first shot is guaranteed accurate, though many shooters can deliver accurately with the first shot. What sets Gao Yang apart and earns him the title of the best marksman is his ability to quickly follow up with a flawless second shot.

The targets are alive and can run or hide. No matter how precise the aim, once the far-distance shot is fired and the target moves, the bullet goes astray. Gao Yang can rapidly follow up with another bullet, an unmatched second shot which no one can emulate or surpass. This is the feature that makes Gao Yang the undisputed best marksman.

At 1400 ters, the bullet takes a few seconds to hit. If the first shot doesn’t take out the enemy, there’s no chance for a second shot. Therefore, ensuring one shot is deadly requires choosing the right mont—a shooting opportunity where the target can’t hide or evade. This demands prolonged lurking and precise calculation, sothing Gao Yang is not skilled at.

Djo is in his villa, and there’s no telling when he will co out. To not miss a fleeting shooting chance, the sniper needs to remain motionless and wait for the opportunity, which could take hours or days.

If waiting several days for one shot is necessary, Gao Yang can’t do it. Cui Bo is the only one in Satan who can.

Cui Bo is confident, so Gao Yang must trust him; he has no choice but to trust Cui Bo.

After standing behind the telescope for a while, Gao Yang quietly said, "We can see half of the swimming pool, so there’s a chance. Long-range sniping is our best option. We’ll do our best to create an opportunity for you."

Cui Bo nodded and smiled, "It’s a pity I didn’t bring my McMillan TAC-50. Jack modified it for , and that gun is more accurate and suitable for human targets. But it’s okay; my Barrett is accurate enough. Guns made by Jack, even semi-automatic ones, guarantee precision."

After saying this, Cui Bo smiled confidently, "So can hit targets from over 2400 ters; this is only 1400 ters, not a problem."

Gao Yang spoke seriously, "2400 ters—that record involved several shots and a bit of luck. If there’s no opportunity, so be it. But if there is, you can’t rely on luck or test shots. You must kill Djo with one shot."

Cui Bo solemnly nodded and said in a deep voice, "I understand the weight of this shot. Don’t worry."

Gao Yang felt he shouldn’t add more psychological pressure on Cui Bo, so he laughed heartily, patted Cui Bo on the shoulder, and said loudly, "Seems like Djo might really give us a chance to shoot. Alright, if there’s an opportunity, take the shot; if not, forget it. We’re not just relying on your sniping; maybe we’ll launch an assault directly and take Djo down first. I’ll call everyone up here to devise a plan. You keep watching."

Gao Yang gathered Satan and Black Demon’s people in the room on the third floor and pointed out Djo’s brightly lit villa, saying, "The target is right there, 1400 ters away in a straight line. How do we get there and take out Djo?"

Between Satan’s villa and Djo’s villa, there’s only a forest and no other buildings. However, walking 100 ters from Gao Yang’s current location towards Djo’s villa enters Djo’s private territory, which, although without walls, has many warning signs.

Warning signs are naturally useless, but the densely populated caras and ard guards ensure that if soone trespasses, they will be driven out. Before Djo moved in, the security wasn’t so strict, but once he moved in, these security asures are the most basic ans.

Pavlovich was the first to speak up without hesitation. He crossed his arms, gazed at Djo’s villa from the window, and said solemnly, "If we had backup, there would be many options. We could drive in tanks or launch aerial attacks with helicopters, but we have no chance of using heavy equipnt in France, leaving only one option — a frontal assault."

Gao Yang sighed and said, "The chances of success with a frontal assault are almost none. You think airborne skydiving, then directly launching an attack inside the villa is slightly possible."

Pavlovich laughed disdainfully, "Even assuming we could find a plane for airborne deploynt, Djo has Radar, making it not only lacking in surprise but also allowing Djo to discover us earlier. Do you think entering the villa from the air without counterattack capabilities is better than coming from the ground? Also, we know nothing about the villa’s interior or where Djo might hide, so whether assaulting from the ground or air, what happens after entering the villa?"

Pavlovich’s questions were known; if there was a solution, Gao Yang would have already taken action rather than staying here struggling with strategies.

Gao Yang shook his head and said helplessly, "There are always more solutions than problems. Let’s keep thinking; we can find a solution."

Tommy suddenly said, "Djo’s house is close to the coast. Though rocky cliffs make the coastline, it’s not difficult to climb. Can we find so boats that can use large-caliber mortars or other powerful weapons, then approach Djo’s house from the sea to launch a cannon barrage before initiating an assault from the sea?"

Gao Yang thought it was unreliable because assaulting upward from the sea made even landing on the coast difficult. Djo’s guards were formidable, and using mortars or other heavy weapons might fail to eliminate the guards defending the coast. Forceful landing operations could end with everyone dying under the coastal cliffs.

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Not ideal, as the chances of killing Djo with cannonfire are nearly zero. Assaulting from the sea poses too many challenges and might be less feasible than a ground or airborne assault. However, providing heavy fire support from the sea is workable."

Glolov interjected, "Also, the sea could serve as an escape route."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Shadow has already found a way to get up the lighthouse. We’ll wait for daylight, or until the night vision equipnt arrives, to check the terrain from the lighthouse and find a ground assault path."

Pavlovich said softly, "If we launch a frontal assault, we can initiate heavy bombardnt from the sea, leave so people on the road to block Djo, and once he tries to leave the villa, we’ll have a chance. To achieve this, we’ll need heavy firepower. Mortars aren’t enough; large-caliber rockets would be best to instantly create covering fire, forcing Djo to leave the villa."

Gao Yang smiled wryly and said, "Using heavy firepower in France is quite difficult. I have to try to see if I can get the weapons that et our needs in."

After speaking, Gao Yang shrugged helplessly and smiled wryly, "Here’s another issue — ti. As soon as we decide to use heavy weapons, even relatively powerful heavy weapons, it takes ti to deliver them, and there’s the concern of leaking information too. Such a hassle."

Rafael hesitated before speaking, "I have an idea. I think it might work."

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, don’t hold back."

Rafael smiled at Gao Yang, and then said loudly, "Boss, you once told about the rciless Cannon, which inspired . I think, why not make our own heavy firepower weaponry? Super rciless Cannon! Though rciless Cannon has short range and poor accuracy, we can mount them on boats to get right next to Djo’s villa. It’s easy to find gas cans; making barrels is super easy, and Fake dicine is relatively easy to find too. Use dozens of kilograms of C4 in each cannon shell, or whatever Fake dicine is available! We’ll make several cannons, prepare ample Fake dicine, and blast them all out, shocking Djo to death!"

Gao Yang clapped his hands vigorously and said excitedly, "Great idea! This is a great idea!"

Li Jinfang said excitedly, "Indeed! Great idea, haha! Simple thods can be good thods. Let’s show the power of Huaxia’s rciless Cannon spectacularly in France!" (To be continued.
