Mercenary’s War -
Chapter 1062 - 1062 One Thousand and Forty-Five Surrender in the Sky
1062: Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Five: Surrender in the Sky 1062: Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Five: Surrender in the Sky With high single soldier quality, engage in low-intensity special operations; never frivolously confront an enemy with heavy firepower in frontal battlefields, where the conversation isn’t about individual qualities but rather about a combat system of tanks, artillery, aircraft, and bombs.
Strictly speaking, an army that can form an effective combat system is necessarily supported by national power, and truly, very few nations have established a complete war system.
In the Middle East, Israel has developed a very complete combat system.
Countries like Syria and Egypt have large military sizes but do not possess a truly effective combat system, hence a small country like Israel can dominate the Middle East unbeaten.
Gao Yang can utilize laser-guided bombs and helicopter support; although far from a complete combat system, he has already established a systematic approach, capable of striking lightly equipped enemies in intense combat; even if the enemies are special forces, they are easily subdued.
What is low-intensity warfare?
It includes but is not limited to counter-terrorism operations, irregular warfare, small-scale conventional warfare, small-scale guerrilla warfare, and small-scale regional conflicts; in essence, minor skirmishes.
Medium-intensity warfare is large-scale, medium-scale conventional warfare.
Even wars like World War I and II, in the strict sense, fall under this category.
Most countries in the world do not even qualify to engage in medium-intensity warfare.
What is high-intensity warfare?
Only nuclear war qualifies as a high-intensity conflict – strategic nuclear warfare, regional nuclear wars.
That, and super-large-scale conventional wars, define the category of high-intensity warfare, while World War II according to the operational methods falls under medium-intensity warfare; however, if measured by scale, severity and global impact, and as super-large-scale conventional warfare, it would qualify as high-intensity warfare.
Mercenaries can only fight low-intensity wars; mercenary groups like Satan are forever confined to low-intensity conflict.
This time is different, though still a low-intensity war, they are now on the side of government forces, possessing complete air supremacy, thus providing reliable aerial support throughout the operation, placing the completely lightly-armed enemy in an absolute disadvantage against the war system.
Gao Yang thought his life as a mercenary was destined to be oppressed, yet here he is, calling in laser-guided bombs to strike, life really is unpredictable.
Gao Yang likes this feeling, the sensation of overpowering a group of lightly-equipped soldiers with a combat system.
Taylor performs well, Gao Yang is pleased.
He loudly commands: “Night Demon Four, Night Demon Two, conduct damage effect assessment.”
Although the bombing site is completely obscured by dust and unobservable, just seeing the situation, Gao Yang believes there is no issue; moreover, he can use Night Demon Two’s large airborne thermal imager for observation.
“Night Demon Two, severe damage to ground structures, encirclement broken, you can retreat with confidence, over.”
Gao Yang loudly instructs: “God Eagle Group, organize a tentative withdrawal, Nightfiend Team, get ready to provide support.”
“Shadow understood, starting tentative withdrawal operation, over.”
Yake then says: “Golden Eagle Team One, withdraw first, establish a safe passage.”
Quickly, after hearing a few scattered gunshots, Gao Yang hears an urgent voice over the headset: “Golden Eagle Team Two reporting, faced sporadic resistance, the route is secure, defense line established, subsequent personnel proceed quickly, over!”
“Golden Eagle Team Two, take the prisoners, Golden Eagle Team Three, take the wounded and dead bodies, pass through quickly, action.”
Soon, Li Jinfang sends a report, excitedly stating: “Report, Nightfiend Team has met up with God Eagle Group, sporadic exchanges of fire, now beginning withdrawal, over.”
Gao Yang suddenly feels it might not be right to just leave; the laser-guided bombs are so effective and the God Eagle Group people had withdrawn, why not throw a counter-strike?
Especially since he still holds three laser-guided bombs in hand; though not cheap, they aren’t being paid for by him, why not enhance the battle results further?
The more he thinks, the more impulsive he gets; finally, Gao Yang softly says through the radio: “Hmm, Golden Eagle Team Three take the prisoners, wounded, and bodies to board and withdraw first, Golden Eagle Team One and Two, and Night Demon Assault Team, establish defensive positions to cover Golden Eagle Team Three’s departure.”
After finishing, Gao Yang coughs softly and says: “Guys, since you’ve broken out of the encirclement, don’t worry about being hit by the bombs, why don’t we throw a couple more down?”
Dani immediately responds joyously: “That’s a great idea.”
Gao Yang exhales and says: “Postman, report the feasibility of conducting a second or more ground-directed operations.”
“Yes, Boss, continuing ground direction faces no obstacles, accurate bombing can proceed until our bombs are expended.
The Russian laser guidance is performing quite well, in fact, we can initiate the second guidance right away, over.”
Gao Yang immediately responds: “Very good, Nightfiend Team provide cover, commence the second bombing immediately, we have about sixteen minutes of safety time, plenty of time, really.”
“Postman understands, immediately guiding on the enemy dense area, over.”
Gao Yang redirected his attention towards the scope, yet he could not spot anyone.
However, Night Demon Two started attacking the ground repeatedly, and after a short pause, Glolov and Cui Bo on Night Demon Four also began firing continuously, presumably because the enemy was forced to resume movement, shifting positions or even retreating.
It had already taken a massive bomb; why wait around to take a second hit?
The result was that the second bomb quickly fell.
With absolute air superiority, the planes had no need to worry about threats from the ground and simply kept circling in the sky, ready to drop bombs at any time.
The use of Laser-Guided Bombs greatly reduced the skill requirements for pilots and weapons operators.
As long as they properly released the bomb, the rest was up to Taylor on the ground.
Wherever Taylor directed the laser, the bomb would go there.
Once the second bomb exploded, the enemy couldn’t bear it anymore; now, they needed to break out, not to penetrate the encirclement but to hastily flee from shelters that might receive a third bomb.
Suddenly Gao Yang spotted a target and cleanly took it down, then he saw through the scope a figure emerging shakily from the dust.
After marveling at the formidable effectiveness of the thermal imager pilfered from the hands of Angel Mercenary Group, Gao Yang fired again, eliminating enemies lingering on the edge of the bomb’s impact.
Being bombed by a Laser-Guided Bomb definitely sucks, but using one to bomb others feels fantastic—precise and powerful, solving most problems in a blast.
Gao couldn’t help going for the third time but before giving the order, he seized the opportunity and fired another shot.
Eileen shouted loudly, “F**k, the enemy is like bees out of a bombed nest, they are starting to run wildly!”
Cui Bo then loudly said, “The enemy is too scattered, hard to hit!”
Gao Yang loudly ordered, “Postman, the third round!
Night Demon Two, Night Demon Four, just take care of those escaping the village, don’t worry about those in my line of sight!
I’ll handle them!”
Postman spoke solemnly, “Boss, the enemy is dispersed, the bomb won’t have a great destructive effect.”
Gao Yang hesitated momentarily, but then decisively said, “Forget it, bomb them, kill these sons of bitches!”
Taylor stopped speaking, paused for a while, and then spoke solemnly again, “Yes, boss.”
A minute later, the bomb fell from the sky.
“Package delivered, I’ve lost visual, can’t perform precise positioning, laser beam also can’t penetrate the dust to position, over.”
Gao Yang yelled, “No need, Night Demon, Falcon, proceed with searching for remaining enemies as guided by Night Demon Two.
Remember, ensure safety before action; we’re finishing off the stragglers, don’t get bitten by the dogs again, over!”
After thinking a moment, Gao Yang added, “Nightfiend Team, be advised, if you encounter enemies incapable of resisting, capture them alive.
Let Falcon’s people do the capturing, Dani, make sure to shoot the footage well, you know what I mean.”
During wartime, military achievements were paramount.
Even capturing many prisoners or killing many enemies for Satan won’t get anyone paid, but it’s different for Dani and his men.
Performing well, showing significant battle results, and presenting a good scene during victory brings great benefits.
As a friend, Gao Yang was more than willing to help Dani.
Dani’s power, all beneficial to him, no downside.
Facilitating collaborators and stakeholders to profit from their partnership with him, why not?
Dani obviously understood, he roared, “Soldiers, for our country, charge!”
The Golden Eagle Team and Nightfiend Team conducted a raid, gunfire occurred sporadically, but all news coming back was good.
The enemy was not completely concentrated together, like being crammed in one house, but they were definitely gathered in one area around the headquarters attacked by the Golden Eagle Team, where the enemy had first established an encirclement and where the area was heavily bombed by the Laser-Guided Bombs.
At that moment, Cui Bo suddenly yelled, “An enemy is surrendering!
He’s thrown down his weapon and raised his hands!
Oh, not one, he’s waving his hands at us, what should we do?”
Gao Yang paused, saying, “Really surrendering?
Can you identify them?”
“No!”
Gao Yang thought for a moment, then said, “Don’t kill him, signal that we accept the surrender, choose the method yourself.”
Glolov shot a burst about four to five meters ahead of the surrendering person, and then Cui Bo quickly said, “He’s down on the ground, he understood, oh, more people are coming out, two, four, f**k, a group!
Nine, there are nine people surrendering here!”
Gao Yang burst out laughing, “Accepting surrenders from the sky, interesting, Dani, did you hear that, go capture them?
Rabbit, guide the ground personnel to get the prisoners, be aware of the surrounding situation to ensure safety, over.” (To be continued.
