286: Chapter 284: Super Hard Bone 286: Chapter 284: Super Hard Bone After a series of commands were issued, Gao Yang turned and ran out of the cabin.
He waved at Frey and excitedly said, “Follow ; we’re going to capture Mokadi.”
As Gao Yang and Frey hurried towards the possible hiding place of Mokadi, Gao Yang didn’t forget to greet the captain of the Eighth Platoon, Mu He, while sprinting.
After surrounding the core area of the Mokadi Faction on land, Mokadi’s only escape route was by sea, so the Eighth Platoon’s task was extrely important.
“Mu He, what’s the situation on your end?” Gao Yang inquired.
“Reporting, sir, most of our n have landed and taken control of the dock.
However, we can’t rendezvous with our friendly forces.
We’ve encountered very tenacious resistance and can’t break through.
We’re currently battling the rcenaries you ntioned.
Per your orders, we have pulled back to a defensive position,” Mu He reported.
Hearing Mu He’s words, Gao Yang tensed up and asked anxiously, “How’s the control at sea?
Have any boats left?”
“No boats have left.
We encountered several boats even before we landed.
After warning shots, most of the boats were driven back, but two boats opened fire on us.
After we returned fire, we sank both boats,” Mu He responded.
Knowing no boats had left put Gao Yang at ease.
If Mokadi had already fled, there was nothing to be done.
However, if Mokadi had tried to escape after they had started to blockade the sea route, it would be unacceptable.
Thus, Gao Yang equipped the Eighth Platoon with four Type 63 rocket launchers and five mortars on their ships, along with at least a hundred RPG-26 rocket launchers.
With such firepower, whether to support landing operations or to exchange fire with the Mokadi Faction’s pirate ships, it was more than sufficient.
Learning that no ship could break through from the sea, Gao Yang spoke loudly into the walkie-talkie, “Rabbit, Test Tube, if you two aren’t required to command right now, co and rendezvous with .
Toad, pull people from the Instruction Platoon to form an assault team; thirty n should be enough.
Big Dog, prepare artillery support.
To capture Mokadi alive, I think we have to handle it ourselves.”
After energetically summoning his team, Gao Yang and Frey quickly crossed the last line of defense that had been completely breached by the Mokadi Faction and rushed straight into the ultimate battleground.
Although they would still face sporadic resistance, it no longer mattered much.
The only thing worth paying attention to was the rcenary Group.
Gao Yang didn’t dare to underestimate this unnad rcenary Group.
Judging by the combat power they had already shown, this rcenary Group wasn’t easy to provoke.
However, they were ultimately too few in number.
Gao Yang still had several hundred people at his disposal, and if including the locals who volunteered to fight, the number would reach at least two thousand.
Even though he didn’t dare to underestimate that rcenary Group, that’s why Gao Yang ordered everyone to avoid them actively, but he didn’t believe that a re thirty or so rcenaries could turn the tide under the absolute nurical advantage.
As he ran, Gao Yang soon realized that he had underestimated the rcenary Group.
When it cos to combat effectiveness, it seed that having an absolute nurical advantage wasn’t always effective.
Once the frontline quickly ford an enclosing circle, Gao Yang found that they couldn’t advance any further.
“This is Big Dog.
The enemy’s artillery fire is fierce—precision mortars, all precision mortars, along with snipers.
F**k, our artillery can’t open fire.
We’re suffering heavy casualties and must retreat!” yelled one of the voices.
“The Fourth Platoon has suffered heavy casualties and can’t continue the attack.
We’ve retreated and established a defensive position,” another voice reported.
“The Second Platoon’s attack is stalled.
We’ve established a defensive position.
We can’t move forward at all.
The enemy’s artillery fire is very fierce,” ca another report.
Listening to the continuous reports of each platoon’s attacks being stalled through the headset, although Gao Yang had ordered to temporarily avoid the rcenaries, when Big Dog, leading the artillery, was unable to leverage the artillery advantage and instead suffered heavy casualties, Gao Yang knew the situation was serious.
Gao Yang found Glolov, who was hiding behind a large house with six mortars and four Type 63 rocket launchers, with no intention of moving forward to open fire.
Seeing Gao Yang, Glolov spoke anxiously before Gao Yang could even ask, “We haven’t deployed yet.
Before we even had the chance to open fire, we were attacked by enemy mortars.
There are both 60mm and 82mm mortars, and they are firing with extre precision.
They can take out each of our guns exactly.
Four mortar teams and one rocket launcher team have been completely wiped out, and the casualties didn’t happen all in one spot, which ans the enemy has the capability of precise strikes across the entire frontline.”
Gao Yang’s head ached as he said in a deep voice, “Is it that serious?”
Glolov, with an anxious face, replied, “Yes, it’s very serious.
The enemy is too strong.
A rocket launcher assigned to the Fourth Platoon wasn’t shelled, but the crew mbers were killed by snipers.
Now that launcher is still there.
F**k, we don’t dare to fire a shot.”
Gao Yang pointed at the rocket launchers and said helplessly, “Can’t we just fire covertly from here?
Apart from mortars, could we make the rocket launchers fire at a high angle?
Would a barrage make up for the precision, would it work?”
Glolov forced a bitter smile and said, “First, if we launch covertly, there’s hardly any accuracy to speak of, not to ntion compensating for precision with concentrated artillery fire.
Firing would be aningless under such conditions.
Second, I can guarantee that if we dare to fire, the enemy will locate our firing position and retaliate, regardless of whether the enemy has artillery detection radar or not, I believe they can estimate the firing location.”
Gao Yang thought for a mont, then shook his head and said, “No, it doesn’t matter if there’s no accuracy to speak of, we must fire, and fire continuously without stopping.
Scatter these guns, get ready to aim, and after firing, leave soone to load the shells and run.
Then, after a while, go back to adjust and fire again.
We must retaliate against the enemy and put enough pressure on them.”
Glolov nodded, “Alright, we have no choice but to do it this way, we’ll just hit randomly, let’s keep our guys a bit further away to avoid the shells falling on our own heads.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “I need to go scout out the situation, get ready.”
Imdiately, Glolov shook his head, raising his voice, “No, we’re very close now, doing that would expose you to the enemy’s gunfire, and even with cover, it’s too dangerous.
Don’t forget that the enemy’s mortars are like they’ve got eyes.
Do you want to get killed?”
Gao Yang hesitated briefly, but still said firmly, “I’ll be careful.
We can’t fire without a proper reconnaissance.”
Glolov urgently responded, “No, you don’t understand, the enemy is more formidable than you can imagine right now.
Don’t move recklessly.
You need to understand that we are the ones in a dangerous situation now, especially people like you and with distinctive features.
So, absolutely do not think about scouting or anything like that.
If you dare to show your face, they can definitely kill you.”
After Glolov finished speaking, Gao Yang realized he had made a mistake.
He imdiately said sternly into the walkie-talkie, “Everyone, do not move recklessly if you cannot ensure safety.
Rabbit, Test Tube, and Toad, stay hidden.
Our features are too noticeable.”
“Toad here, got it.
There are many buildings around my position, and I was out of the enemy’s line of fire when I moved here.
My location is safe as long as we don’t launch an attack.”
“Test Tube here, received.
I’m with Toad, and it’s safe now.”
Cui Bo took a while before responding, and he was panting when he spoke.
“Rabbit here, I’m hiding right now.
I nearly got taken out just now.
Our side has pulled back altogether.
We’re about six hundred ters from the enemy.
If I could move, I would have joined you already.
What, you don’t know the capability of the troops opposite us yet?”
After letting out a wry chuckle, Gao Yang said softly, “Sorry, my mistake.
I’ve just arrived here and am not fully aware of the situation yet.
Now, everyone pay attention to protecting yourselves, especially the commanders.”
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang, who hadn’t yet seen the enemy’s collective operations, stepped to the corner of a wall and quickly peeked out to check.
The enemy’s location had few buildings, offering clear lines of sight, and although the area wasn’t large, Gao Yang scanned the area without spotting anyone.
The enemy wouldn’t open fire unless they saw an advancing attack, despite the front lines being less than four hundred ters apart.
The enemy was calm, very composed.
Although the battle lines were very close, the enemy wasn’t firing continuously, even though they were within the effective firing range of assault rifles.
Looking at the unprofessional fortifications established by the Skull Gang, it seed the enemy had no urge to break through the siege; instead, they appeared content with a standoff.
After watching for a while and still not seeing a single figure, Gao Yang couldn’t help but express his confusion, “Does anyone have a clear view of the enemy’s combat thods?”
Cui Bo responded gravely, “I have seen it.
The enemy’s firing is extrely precise.
At a distance of around four hundred ters, even with assault rifles, each shot can cause casualties.
Moreover, the enemy would imdiately take cover after firing and switch positions while hidden.
After leaving the buildings to enter the enemy’s line of fire, I imdiately sought cover to prepare to shoot.
I aid at the enemy three tis but never had the chance to fire.
Also, I noticed that after staying put for too long, I started moving just in ti—seconds after I left my position, a shell landed.
Damn it, lucky there are so few of the enemy and not many snipers.
I think if there had been a sniper opposite at that ti, they wouldn’t have needed artillery to target .”
Gao Yang quickly asked, “So it’s just non-sniper personnel using different rifles, not snipers?”
“Yes, they use regular rifles, not snipers.
I’ve never actually seen enemy snipers.
From what I observed, all the casualties on my side were from 5.56 mm rounds, so I can assure you there’s no sniper facing .”
Before Cui Bo could finish over the radio, Glolov beside Gao Yang urgently said, “I haven’t seen traces of an enemy sniper either, but the enemy definitely has at least one sniper using a large-caliber rifle.
The gunner from the fourth squad was killed by a sniper.
After getting hit, his body was torn apart.
I think their sniper isn’t just observing and shooting from a fixed position but quickly fires after observing from cover and continues to hide.
Let tell you, the enemy, they are all experts, the super expert kind.”
Realizing he had made a significant mistake, Gao Yang always took the enemy rcenary group seriously, considering them a formidable foe, but their capabilities far exceeded his expectations.
Just considering them a great enemy wasn’t enough; this small unit of rcenaries should be regarded as an even more powerful enemy than the Mokadi Faction.
They had co across a small but extrely tough nut to crack.
In contrast, the Mokadi Faction was nothing but a large and tempting piece of fatty at.
