Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2366 - 2342: Good Fortune and Prosperity

The first battle in Yemen did not go well.

Gao Yang focused all his attention on the small hill two hundred meters away. The gun muzzle slowly moved back and forth between different windows. Finally, when a red figure suddenly appeared within the scope, he immediately shifted his aim significantly, firing before the enemy could shoot.

Don’t shoot unless there’s a chance to, but once there is, the result can only be a gunshot and a fallen enemy.

Gao Yang didn’t change positions because he had no space to maneuver.

At this moment, Albert suddenly shouted loudly, "Not dead!"

Gao Yang immediately felt relieved, but just then Phoenix suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs, "Missile! Targeting... the street corner! Boss!"

Phoenix’s shout about the missile made Gao Yang tense up again. He immediately searched back and forth through his scope but couldn’t find any heat source resembling a missile nor any operator. However, as soon as Phoenix yelled "Boss," Gao Yang quickly withdrew his gun and turned to run back.

Since the walkie-talkie frequency was shared, when Phoenix announced that there was a missile targeting the street corner, Li Jinfang and Taylor each grabbed one of Peter’s hands and started running forward.

"Take cover! Take cover!"

Gao Yang yelled frantically for everyone to take cover, grabbed Albert, and they both ran forward about twenty or thirty steps before it felt like someone had hit his back with a heavy hammer. Stumbling forward and falling down, he then heard a loud boom behind him, and his ears immediately started ringing.

Lying on the ground, Gao Yang felt he was about to cough up blood; the hit just now wasn’t light. Struggling, he turned his head to look back and saw that the corner of the building that had served as their cover was gone, replaced by a cloud of dust.

There was no doubt that the building serving as cover for Gao Yang and his group had been blown up. The explosion wasn’t too powerful, otherwise, at such a close distance, they’d all be dead.

Gao Yang and Li Jinfang had immediately run upon Phoenix’s warning, but the Dagger Assault Team didn’t understand the situation in time. So, while Gao Yang and his team managed to flee, at least four or five members of the Scissors Assault Team were down after the missile strike.

The street corner was the launch site of the attack, with too many people crowded.

"I’m fine!"

After shouting as he lay on the ground, Gao Yang loudly stated while getting up, "Big Dog, Clumsy Bear! Report your status!"

Glolov calmly said over the walkie-talkie, "We’re fine."

After saying they were fine, Glolov continued, "Luckily, we changed our shooting position."

Gao Yang looked at Li Jinfang and the others around him. Everyone was covered in dust, but they seemed okay. As for the reserve position farther back, there was certainly no problem.

Albert patted Gao Yang’s back loudly and said, "A rock hit you, lucky it didn’t hit your head!"

Li Jinfang said solemnly, "Anti-tank missile!"

At this moment, Phoenix again shouted loudly, "Wire-guided, remote launch! TOW missile!"

The TOW heavy anti-tank missile, powerful and accurate, with excellent effectiveness against armored targets, is commonly used by Americans.

It’s impossible to launch a TOW anti-tank missile indoors, due to the missile’s exhaust severely harming the shooter. But this missile had indeed been launched indoors, leaving only one possibility: man-separated launch.

Using anti-tank missiles to attack infantry in such close-quarters combat, Gao Yang now had only one feeling.

Loaded! Rich! Moneybags!

Clearly, an RPG could solve the problem, but they insisted on using heavy anti-tank missiles.

A rocket costs a few hundred US dollars, a new TOW 2B missile costs tens of thousands of US dollars. In early 2014, Saudi Arabia just ordered 15,000 TOW missiles from American Raytheon Company. Judging by the missile launch method just now, Gao Yang thought it should be the latest version, not the old model TOW missile.

Marvelling at the enemy’s wealth is secondary; knowing the enemy has TOW missiles is what’s important.

Fortunately, TOW missiles are mainly used to attack armored vehicles and bunkers. If someone is inside a bunker, they are dead for sure, but the shaped charge warhead is not suitable for attacking infantry in open areas. It’s for this reason, Gao Yang and his team, who were very close to the blast point, survived.

"F**k! Moneybags!"

After cursing resentfully, Gao Yang anxiously said, "Rabbit, Crow, stay safe, evacuate anytime!"

"Crow understands, enemy missiles are set up in room four on the third-floor left side, I have destroyed the observable missile launcher, but enemy operators have not been found."

Luckily, Phoenix spotted it early, and they were very familiar with the missiles, alerting Gao Yang and his team in time to avoid disaster.

Satan couldn’t possibly use TOW missiles to take out enemy strongpoints one at a time, not because they couldn’t or didn’t want to, but because they couldn’t afford it.

But fortunately, Satan’s individual heavy firepower was also greatly enhanced, with an abundance of various rocket launchers.

"Little Fly, Shemyer!"

Frey immediately ran over carrying a Portable Airburst Grenade, squatting beside Gao Yang. Gao Yang took a deep breath and then shouted, "Cover!"

Several people moved forward again, and the machine guns and rifles resumed their intense firing. Frey ran to the street corner, now reduced to rubble, shouldered the rocket launcher, aimed briefly, then quickly fired the Shemyer rocket launcher, and immediately ran back.

A fireball quickly appeared in the building, then all the glass shattered and broke, and the fireball gushed out of the windows.

Watching the chaos caused by the Shemyer Portable Airburst Grenade looked serious, but the harm wouldn’t be too severe, because the building’s space was too large for a single rocket to cause significant effect.

"Shemyer! Fire three in quick succession!"

Gao Yang ran back, issued the order again, and just then, he saw after Albert pressed Peter’s chest several times Peter immediately sat up, gasping for air.

Albert looked at Peter’s chest, laughed loudly, and said, "Iron Man got lucky! The magazine stopped the bullet."

Albert informed everyone, and of course, Gao Yang next to him heard it most clearly.

Gao Yang picked up the magazine Albert had grabbed from the ground; a bullet had pierced the magazine on Peter’s chest and then was stopped by the bulletproof vest. If not for that full magazine blocking for a moment, who knows if the vest alone would have been enough.

After glancing at the magazine with a hole through it, Gao Yang casually tossed it aside and, pointing at Peter, said loudly, "Glad to see you’re alive, but you need a new nickname, change it immediately, now, pick a lucky nickname!"

Peter, somewhat painfully touching his chest, Gao Yang squatted, clutching Peter’s clothes, grimacing, "Brother! Pick a good luck nickname! At least make it an animal! Animals! That’s important!"
