Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1056 - 1056 One Thousand Thirty-Nine Finally Something to Do

1056: Chapter One Thousand Thirty-Nine Finally Something to Do 1056: Chapter One Thousand Thirty-Nine Finally Something to Do Gao Yang turned to Peter with a sigh, then whispered, “Buddy, if you don’t believe it, go ask Farouk, and you’ll get your answer.

I suggest—no, you must immediately change the training program; you have to mature those rookies as soon as possible.

Perhaps we received different orders, but let me tell you, Marshall has already rushed me three times.”

Peter’s face went blank as he weakly said, “Damn, are you guys conspiring to fool me?

If it’s an order from Marshall, then it’s irreversible.

Why hasn’t anyone told me until now?

Why didn’t anyone tell me I’m training a cannon fodder unit?

Damn it!

Only half a month left!

Special Forces trained in half a month, is this a joke?

Man, I don’t know how to teach anymore.

I’ve never learned how to speed up the training for a cannon fodder unit.

What should I do?

F**k!

What should I do?”

Gao Yang was the one with real problems because he was the one who had to lead this cannon fodder unit into battle, not the mere trainer, Peter.

No matter what, there was only one month left, and everyone’s training would have been the same, but Gao Yang certainly didn’t expect that Peter had been training according to a normal training syllabus for a unit that needed expedited training.

After speaking dazedly, Peter suddenly exploded in anger, seething, “Such important information and no one notified me, F**k, they’re all idiots!

I quit this!

I want to…”

Peter was also someone who followed orders, he couldn’t just quit because he wanted to; he was just venting his frustration.

Gao Yang patted Peter on the shoulder, helplessly saying, “Buddy, stop it, while there’s still time, think of a remedy.

You might not know how to train a cannon fodder unit quickly, but we do.”

Peter looked at Gao Yang and angrily said, “My affairs, don’t need others to meddle.”

Gao Yang understood Peter’s feelings; he wouldn’t want others meddling in the unit he was training, it’s a matter of dignity, but Gao Yang wasn’t willing to give up, so he said sternly, “Buddy, I’m the one bringing your trainees to the battlefield.

I don’t want to see your trained personnel mess up my plans, and I also don’t want to see a bunch of soldiers die needless deaths in unsuitable places.

You’re a soldier, you should understand my point.”

Peter, very agitated, paced back and forth twice, then stopped and waved helplessly at Gao Yang saying, “Let’s hear your plan.”

Gao Yang shrugged and said, “Simple, stop the physical training, start teaching them tactical coordination, and basic combat.

Hmm, you take over during the day, let them save some strength, I’ll take over at night, with lots of drills, helping them quickly adapt to how to perform helicopter air-drop operations.”

Peter heaved a sigh and said, “That’s the only way, let’s do this.

What’s the usual size of the squads you use in combat?”

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, “Between six to twelve people per squad.

Considering that there are only Mi-17 helicopters available here, I suggest using six and twelve-man squads, fitting two or four combat squads per helicopter perfectly.

I can decide the specific squad size when the battle is close.”

Peter nodded, “Okay, let them get a general understanding of special operations.

Let’s start tonight.

I’ll first get them used to night parajumping.

Damn, I haven’t even taught them how to use night vision devices yet, damn it!”

Gao Yang smiled helplessly, “Well, it looks like we really don’t have much time.”

Peter waved his hand, saying, “I need to hurry and make a new training plan, goodbye.”

Gao Yang helplessly told the crowd still waiting for him, “Nothing left to see here, let’s go, let’s eat.

Don’t be idle tonight, see how the Intelligence Agency Action Team performs in night operations, move quickly.”

In the groans of the crowd, Gao Yang ate his dinner in complex mood, distressed over Peter’s training blunders, yet somewhat pleased by breakthroughs in combat capability.

These days were filled with various tasks, and yet the main task had made no progress; Badadi was hidden too deep.

Gao Yang wanted to capture Badadi but was powerless, and it seemed like leaving Syria was still far away.

Days passed one by one without battle.

Every day was spent accompanying various units in training and retraining, and more exercises.

Gao Yang was almost sick of it.

The Rebel Army’s combat style was very agile, especially IS.

Their military actions are very characteristic, which is never fighting to the death against the government forces in one spot.

IS’s tactic of quick-moving operations is striking; if they plan to attack somewhere, they would gather a massive amount of troops in a short time for a fierce assault, while the government forces must disperse troops to hold multiple locations, hence IS can always create a local advantage in troop strength.

This tactic gave the government forces, and especially Gao Yang, a huge headache.

Just because IS currently did not have a core area to guard meant that the top leaders of IS could appear anywhere, and Gao Yang adopted a decapitation strategy.

He could not attack the low-level troops of little value, so without locating Badadi, Gao Yang had no choice but to wait.

Now, Gao Yang’s hope lay with the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps, but suddenly, the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps had disappeared.

Days had passed, and they had not reappeared at the training ground.

It was usual for the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps to disappear, but when they would be located again was uncertain, making Gao Yang regret not taking action against them earlier.

But then again, if the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps was indeed guarding Badadi while simultaneously training IS soldiers, acting while they were not by Badadi’s side would only startle them and drive Badadi deeper into hiding.

In any case, it was a dilemma.

Lacking solid intelligence support seemed like every course of action was wrong.

These days, Gao Yang had stopped participating in drills personally.

He was too busy and had no time to join any more drills.

Annoyed, Gao Yang pushed the things on the table aside and loudly said, “Hasan, get me a cup of red tea.”

After shouting out loud, Number Thirteen raised his head and looked at Gao Yang, “What’s the matter, getting anxious?”

Gao Yang replied irritably, “Yes, I am anxious.”

Yake leisurely said, “Young people just can’t stay calm, things like this…”

“Okay, okay, I know, you can’t rush things like this, Shadow, can’t you change your way of saying it?”

After snappily responding to Yake, Gao Yang’s orderly gently knocked on the door, then pushed it open, placed a cup of red tea in front of Gao Yang on the table, and then started to clean up the documents Gao had scattered.

Gao Yang waved his hand, “Leave it be, I’ll do it myself.”

After giving a salute, Hasan exited.

Gao Yang sipped his tea, then helplessly said, “I can hardly stand it anymore, everything here moves at a slow pace.

F**k, this is wartime, but everyone here seems to not take the war seriously at all, dragging their feet in combat, dragging their feet in moving troops, isn’t there a single person who can make quick decisions and then implement them swiftly?”

Yake smiled and said, “If you can’t change the situation, then you better adapt.”

Gao Yang was going crazy.

Right at this moment, his orderly knocked on the door again, and gently said, “Colonel, Lieutenant Jiranor is here.”

Even though anyone used to just knock and enter to see Gao Yang, now it was different.

Now, Gao Yang had soldiers and orderlies, to see him required prior notification, Gao felt it was troublesome but he didn’t want to change the common military practice.

Gao Yang raised his voice, “Let him in.”

Hasan ushered Jiranor in.

Jiranor, with an excited face, stood beside Gao Yang’s desk and whispered, “The things we requested have finally arrived!”

Finally some good news.

An excited Gao Yang also stood up and urgently asked, “What is it?

Airplanes?

Or laser-guided bombs?”

Jiranor caught his breath and quickly said, “Airplanes and bombs, both.

Just received notice that two bomber aircraft have been modified and will be transferred here today.

Also, twelve laser-guided bombs will be delivered today!”

Gao Yang rubbed his hands excitedly, patted Jiranor’s shoulder hard, and laughed, “Finally, they are here.

What types of planes?

Are they Su-27s?”

Jiranor shook his head, looking resigned, “No, it’s very unlikely they would send Su-27s.

The ones modified are Su-24s.”

Gao Yang waved a hand, “Su-24s will do, as long as they can carry laser-guided bombs.

What models are the bombs?”

“KAB-500, all twelve of them.”

Gao Yang smiled, “Well, the KAB-1500 would need bomber mounts, okay, KAB-500 will do for the thrill.

At least they are here, we’ve waited too long.”

Gao Yang had been waiting for many things, and for far too long, any progress in any aspect was enough to excite him.

Just as Jiranor had just delivered some good news, there was another knock on the door, this time it was Dani.

Once Hasan opened the door, Dani rushed into the room excitedly and urgently said to Gao Yang, “Colonel, new intelligence, a Free Syrian command post has been located, not many people, and not far from the front line, we can get artillery support from the army.

Colonel, I want the Action Team boys to deal with it.”

Constantly striking important IS targets would only make Badadi hide deeper; striking other factions appropriately can help divert attention.

Since Dani was eager to fight, might as well let them have a go.

Gao Yang nodded, “Is the intelligence reliable?

Have you clarified the defense power of that command post?

Do you want the Action Team to lead the attack, or just assist us?”

Dani immediately replied, “I think the Action Team can handle it completely, of course, we need your support in case of any unexpected situation.”

Gao Yang shrugged, “Alright, everyone has been idle for too long, it’s time to get moving.

War starts tonight, get ready.” (To be continued.
