Chapter 1960: Chapter 1937: Cannon Fodder Paving the Way
After getting acquainted with the situation in the building where Angel was trapped, Gao Yang imdiately said to the rescue commander from Angel’s side: “How did you guys get outsmarted, how did the enemy inflict such heavy casualties on you?”
The commander imdiately pointed at the building and said: “The enemy has entered the building, but there are many people outside. During our attack, we left our cover and reached the middle zone when we were subjected to extrely precise shooting from the enemy, and after losing more than half, we retreated.”
Gao Yang pondered for a mont and shouted: “Found the enemy fire points yet?”
“No, we had absolutely no chance to figure out where the enemy fire points are. The enemy’s fire is too fierce, and so precise, unless I sacrifice everyone here, there’s no way to identify the enemy’s fire points.”
“What about our heavy firepower? Can we get artillery support?”
“No, even if we had it, it wouldn’t do any good. Artillery wouldn’t cause any significant damage to these buildings; they’re all damn solid.”
Gao Yang said no more, beginning to analyze the battlefield situation.
The building where Nate and the others were trapped had only four floors, not very high, but it covered a vast area. It’s a good thing that it was once a highly classified factory, so it has only one passage inside. That’s exactly why Nate and the others had been able to hold out until now, preventing a swift annihilation.
The trouble lies in the fact that there are no tall buildings around that building. This factory used to be a critically important and highly confidential unit, with many workshops built underground, and any tall buildings above ground were too far away, while any close structures were all single-story.
The location where Gao Yang was positioned was about four hundred ters away from the building. Earlier, the reinforcents attempted to rescue Nate and the others from this very spot, but as soon as they left cover, they were surely shot at by snipers.
If reinforcents didn’t arrive, Nate would definitely have been dood, but since they’ve already held out for over three hours, and Gao Yang has arrived, he’s sure Nate won’t die. Gao Yang is quite confident about that.
Although the situation is extrely urgent, a reckless attack shouldn’t be made. After observing for a few monts, and roughly forming a plan in his mind, Gao Yang said solemnly: “Bring the operational map here; point out the nearby enemy and friendly distribution lines, as detailed as possible.”
The reinforcent commander imdiately pulled out a map, spread it on the ground, and then pointed at it, saying: “The enemy is here, here, and here, basically forming a three-sided encirclent. If we retreat, this building will be imdiately surrounded by the enemy. But until now, the enemy hasn’t been able to besiege the building; our reinforcents are still being mobilized, and more people will arrive here in about an hour, approximately two hundred can be drawn from the battlefield.”
From the map, the situation looked quite grim. Gao Yang nodded and stared at the commander squatting opposite him: “You must hold the current line, no further retreat. I won’t draw too much manpower; give fifty n—no, I just need thirty, to assist us in another attack, okay?”
“That’s fine, but I can only give you thirty n, and only this once; our defensive line has very few troops, it’s at the limit.”
Gao Yang nodded and said to Poseyankov, who had been listening on the side: “Take your people, split them into two parts. Your task is to work with those thirty n to clear all enemies outside the building, then we enter the building. If the situation allows, send people to follow inside; if not, I want you to ensure our retreat is safe. Leave handling inside the building to us.”
Poseyankov nodded and shouted: “Got it.”
Gao Yang imdiately waved his hand, saying solemnly: “Five minutes for you to prepare for the attack, we’ll cover first. Once you open the way, we move.”
Strong steel must be used for the blade’s edge, Gao Yang decided to take care of the toughest part himself.
After swiftly dividing tasks, the three separate units imdiately started issuing commands for the pre-attack preparations.
Gao Yang’s intention was obvious; the thirty n were sacrificial pawns, but he naturally couldn’t say that. Poseyankov and his team understood without explanation; the thirty sent were figuratively cannon fodder. There was no alternative—the necessary sacrifices had to be made.
Gao Yang hurriedly sorted the magazines; he needed to first use his rifle to cover Ivan’s n, letting them clear the enemies outside before switching to ******, entering the building to bring Nate and them out.
Preparations were completed swiftly; at Gao Yang’s command, thirty n cautiously moved toward the building from a central position.
Poseyankov’s people hadn’t moved yet; they were to use those thirty n to probe the enemy’s positions and fire points, then comnce their attack.
However, when the thirty n ford a scattered skirmish line and slowly approached the building and reached slightly over three hundred ters away, the enemy opened fire.
Gao Yang was watching for enemy fire points. After a brief glance, he imdiately aid at an enemy who had exposed his rifle, and blew the man’s top off with a single shot.
The Prince also hit his target, but the shooting opportunity for both marksn was fleeting; when Gao Yang intended to shoot a second target, that target retracted and never erged again.
The gunmanship was precise, actions skillful, evasion incredibly swift, largely exposing, firing one shot, and disappearing, not giving anyone a chance to lock onto them.
Gao Yang increased his shooting difficulty; now needing ultra-rapid aiming, ultra-rapid firing, performing precision shooting with ultra-high difficulty.
Holding his gun, rapidly hunting for targets, Gao Yang suddenly swung his rifle and fired a shot, the gun resounded, and his target went down.
Of the thirty n, a good seven or eight had already been killed, with surprisingly few wounded. At this point, they couldn’t advance any further; either they hide behind cover, or start running back.
Poseyankov waved his hand and shouted: “We’re going up.”
The people Ivan brought were elite, the best of the best, but when Poseyankov led them into battle, the situation took a significant turn, advancing while alternating cover, the pace was slow but secure, combined with Gao Yang and the other’s cover, they hadn’t encountered any casualties even after advancing two hundred ters.
Casualties ca after the two hundred ters mark; when Poseyankov’s n were advancing, they suddenly faced fierce enemy fire. Just as Gao Yang had the chance to fire again, he attracted an extrely accurate bullet; without quick evasiveness, it would have been fatal.
Gao Yang was pinpointing enemy targets, but was already targeted by enemy snipers. When he fired at the enemy, he was first t with shots from an enemy sniper.
