477: Chapter 474: Learning with an Angel 477: Chapter 474: Learning with an Angel There might have been a few that slipped through the net, but overall, the Black Panther Squad was completely wiped out.
The numbers were similar, but the Angel rcenary Corps used mortars.
Controlled by four top-notch gunners, the mortars beca a deadly weapon, preventing a unit skilled in CQB from performing effectively.
Originally designated to intercept the Black Panther Squad, Group C was the first to board the vehicles.
Then, driving through the wrecked convoy of the Black Panther Squad, the vehicles, including one pulling a trailer with Ivan and a few other injured n, stopped next to Gao Yang.
Brejinsky and Li Jinfang quickly got into the cars.
Gao Yang did not get in the car with Li Jinfang and the others; he wanted to stay by Nate’s side.
The vehicles of the Angel rcenary Corps arrived one after the other, all kinds of vehicles—sedans, SUVs, pickups.
Once everyone was on board, at Nate’s command, the impressive convoy quickly set in motion.
Gao followed Nate into a sedan and sat in the backseat.
It was a very ordinary car, not very big, so there were only Gao and Nate inside.
Once the car started moving, Gao took a long breath and said, “Now, we’re finally safe, right?”
Nate shook his head slightly, smiled faintly, and said, “From now on, we have to fight for survival.
Safe?
It’s too early to say that.
Let’s get out of the city first.”
After speaking with Gao, Nate pressed his walkie-talkie and said, “Report ammo supply and casualty status.”
Gao’s walkie-talkie was on the sa frequency as the Angel rcenary Corps’, so he could hear every response from the Angels.
However, to his frustration, they were reporting in a mix of German and English, mostly in codes and jargon, which Gao couldn’t understand at all.
After listening to the reports, Nate shook his head slightly and said to Gao, “Overshooting max range, our mortars are now scrap tal.
But it doesn’t matter anyway; we’ve run out of shells.”
Gao couldn’t help but say, “You guys ca over so quickly, with missiles and mortars, and you had so many shells.
Where did you get all these heavy weapons?”
Nate smiled faintly and said, “Knowing we were up against SWAT, and possibly special forces like Jaguar, how could we go without heavy weapons.”
Gao paused, then nodded and said, “Of course, it’s definitely good to have heavy weapons.
But how did you get them from Bogota?”
Nate smiled and said, “Buddy, that’s our secret, okay?
You’re asking too much.”
Gao shrugged and winced in pain as he said, “Alright, I won’t ask about that then.
But can you tell how you managed to identify the Black Panther Squad so quickly?”
Nate shook his head and said, “Classified.”
Gao, with a sincere face, said, “Brother, don’t be so stingy.
Please tell , I implore you.
It’s not like I’m asking for your sources.
Just tell how you established your intelligence network, or, let ask in a different way.
Did you already have intelligence on all ard forces in Bogota ready in advance?”
Nate, looking exasperated, touched his forehead and said, “Ram, I didn’t expect you to be so—well, shaless.
This is our secret.
I think you’d be wise to change the subject, perhaps to sothing like how you’ll pay my fees.
What do you think?”
As the car sped around a corner, Gao was thrown against Nate.
Still with a look of sincerity, he said, “The fee’s not a problem; I can have soone wire you the money right away.
Please, I’m really eager to learn, and right now, I truly admire you.
As a rcenary, you’re my senior.
Don’t be so stingy; tell .”
Nate sighed and said, “Shut up.”
Gao said in a firm tone, “Tell and I’ll shut up.
How about this?
Just tell how you’ve established your logistical and intelligence networks, and I’ll save you once for free.
Like you’ve just saved us.
I won’t charge you a penny.
How about that?
My tuition isn’t cheap.”
Nate couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Ram, I just realized today that you’re even more interesting than I thought.
Save us?
That’s a good joke.
But you’re using sothing that will never happen as a bargaining chip.
Are you playing with ?”
Gao shook his head repeatedly and said, “No, no, don’t say that.
In war, who can guarantee victory?
Can you say you’ll always be in an advantageous position?
What if—just if—you were surrounded by so force?
Is being rescued the sa as not being rescued, right?
So, don’t be too certain, it’s possible that one day you might need us to co rescue you and your people.”
Nate shrugged and said, “What you’re saying isn’t unreasonable, but I firmly believe we won’t end up surrounded like you.
I have that confidence.
So, I reject your offer.”
“You’re scared.”
“What?”
“I said, are you scared of us, scared of the Satan rcenary Corps?”
Looking at Gao Yang’s serious expression, Nate said with a quirky face, “Ram, have you gone mad or turned stupid?
Would I be scared of you?
Would I be afraid of your Satan?”
Gao Yang curled his lips and said, “Your words, we’re destined to beco enemies in the future, you’re afraid that we’ll grow stronger so that’s why you refuse to tell how to establish a complete system for a rcenary Group.
Don’t tell it’s not so, forget it, I won’t ask you anymore.
If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t let a competitor, no, an enemy get stronger either.”
After giving Gao Yang a glance, Nate burst into laughter, pointed to his nose, and said, “Look at , do you think I’m an idiot?”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, “How could that be?
You’re even smarter than a monkey.”
Nate slapped Gao Yang hard on the shoulder, his injured left shoulder, and after Gao Yang cried out in pain, Nate said with a smiling face, “Glad you know, since you understand I’m no idiot, then don’t try such idiotic tricks on .
When I say it’s confidential, I truly won’t tell you.”
Gao Yang angrily said, “You bastard, that was too rough!
It hurts like hell.”
Nate said with a grin, “I did it on purpose.”
Gao Yang had completely run out of ideas.
He genuinely wanted to know how the Angel rcenary Corps had set up their intelligence network and logistics system.
Satan’s logistics were based on self-procurent; if they needed to fight, they had to prepare everything in advance.
Once battle ensued, getting resupplies or changing equipnt would beco difficult, and the sa went for intelligence.
Aside from collecting information before battle, there wasn’t much else they could do—at least, acquiring the necessary intelligence within a short period of ti during combat, as the Angel rcenary Corps could, seed unlikely.
If the performance of the Angel rcenary Corps this ti was just a fluke, or because they had operated in Bogota for a long ti, hence their efficient logistics and intelligence, then it would be of no referential value to Gao Yang.
But if it wasn’t just luck or because they had been in Bogota long, then how the Angel rcenary Corps managed to do it was definitely sothing Gao Yang needed to learn.
Gao Yang positioned himself correctly; compared to the Angel rcenary Corps, Satan was still weak and inexperienced, so he really wanted to learn sothing from the Angels, but unfortunately, on the crucial matters, Nate was adamant in keeping his lips sealed.
Gao Yang still wouldn’t give up.
After a mont of silence, he finally said with a wry smile, “Nate, what will it take for you to tell what I want to know?
State your terms, and as long as they’re within my limits, I agree.”
Nate smiled and said, “If one day you truly end up saving us, then I’ll tell you what you want to know.”
Gao Yang helplessly waved his hand, dismissing Nate’s words.
Saving the Angels was sothing he had ntioned as a possibility, but he knew that the chances of encountering a situation where the Angel rcenary Corps were surrounded and in need of rescue were uncertain.
Since Nate wasn’t willing to share, Gao Yang could only wonder about how he might achieve a level similar to the Angel rcenary Corps.
But no matter how much he thought, he couldn’t co up with a good solution.
In a place he was well-acquainted with and had been operating in for a long ti, he could also resupply and change equipnt at any ti, getting intelligence as quickly as possible, but apart from that, he couldn’t think of any other way.
Unable to figure it out, Gao Yang simply stopped trying to think of it any further, as now was not the ti to consider how to strengthen the Satan rcenary Corps.
Instead, figuring out how to escape was the urgent priority.
Gao Yang let out a resigned sigh and said, “Forget it, since you won’t tell, I won’t ask further.
But, do you at least have any plan you can tell about?
Have you decided where we’re going?”
Nate shrugged and said, “My plan is, first get out of the city.
The rest can wait until we’ve left the city.”
Without more to say from Nate, Gao Yang had no choice but to turn his attention back outside the car window.
To beat ti, before all the exits out of the city were blocked, the car leading the way for the Angel rcenary Corps was speeding, and the pace of the entire convoy picked up.
A convoy of nearly twenty vehicles was rampaging through the streets, they had yet to encounter a police roadblock or effective interception.
Occasionally, they saw a police car with its sirens blaring, but those would not attempt to follow and instead imdiately looked for a place to stop and avoid Gao Yang’s convoy.
Wherever the convoy went, it was sure to cause traffic congestion, and with the scale of the incident they had caused, the entire Bogota police force had been mobilized.
Upon encountering a convoy, Gao Yang thought they would surely be blocked and would have to fight their way through.
Surprisingly, a convoy of more than a dozen police cars showed no intention of stopping.
Two long strings of vehicles on opposite sides of the road passed each other peacefully, without any altercation whatsoever.
Gao Yang was first in extre shock, but then overwheld with joy.
If no one dared to intercept them on the rest of the route, wouldn’t that an they could easily leave the city?
But before Gao Yang could revel in his excitent, he heard soone shouting through the earpiece, “Major, two helicopters are following us.” (To be continued.
