Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1071 - 1071 One Thousand and Fifty-Four Iron Wall Mercenary Corps

1071: Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-Four: Iron Wall Mercenary Corps 1071: Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-Four: Iron Wall Mercenary Corps Ludwig stood up, turned around with a serious face, and said in a deep voice, “Guys, money is important, but life is more important, don’t you think?”

Everyone’s gaze focused on Ludwig, who cleared his throat and then said in a deep voice, “Let’s go, everyone, go home.

We’ve already made enough money, it’s time to enjoy life.”

Red Feather gave Ludwig the middle finger and then said disdainfully, “And then what?

Then you stay behind and swallow all the money, right?”

Ludwig, looking pained and frustrated, said, “F**k, you idiot, you should’ve played along with me to get these fools to leave, then we could’ve split the money between us.

Oh you fool, can’t you just keep quiet for a bit?”

Li Qiu sneered, “Big guy, you’ve had enough, this place isn’t just for only smart person like you.”

Alcohol nodded slightly toward Gao Yang and said loudly, “Buddy, we are all mercenaries, nobody’s going to leave when there’s money to be made.

Business is rare, just tell us, how much per person?”

Gao Yang pointed at the chest and said loudly, “It’s this money.

Share equally among the participants, then it depends on how the fight goes.

If it’s tough, I’ll add a bonus, if it’s easy, then no more money.

But before you decide to stay, I want to tell you the details.”

After a pause, Gao Yang looked up again and said, “Here’s the thing, I’ve received intelligence that the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps might be with Badadi of IS, my target is to kill Badadi.

You have to remember this, my target is to kill Badadi, not the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps.”

Ludwig scratched his bald head and asked, “Iron Wall Mercenary Corps?

Has anyone heard of them?”

Most people shook their heads.

Gao Yang raised his hand and said, “I’ll tell you the details of the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps later, don’t interrupt me now.

What I’m saying is, the intelligence is still very unclear.

We don’t know how many enemies there are, their strength, or what the battlefield conditions are.

In short, we only know where the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps is, almost nothing else.”

Eagle Claw said nonchalantly, “Knowing where the enemy is, is enough.”

Gao Yang smiled and then continued, “Overall, the battle we’re going to engage in will be an adventure.

I’m not sure how difficult it will be exactly, but I know it’s going to be extremely dangerous.”

Wild Man said with a grin, “The more dangerous, the bigger the bonus.

We know you’re a generous boss.

Look, others always try to downplay the difficulty of the task, but you, you’re playing up the difficulty.

Are you crazy?”

Li Yunzhe muttered, “I like a boss who’s a bit crazy.”

Everyone laughed heartily, and Gao Yang also laughed, saying, “I think we’re already friends now, and I don’t believe in deceiving friends.”

Military Dog laughed and said, “Boss, talk about something useful, the information on the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps, and also the battle plans.”

Gao Yang nodded and then said in a serious tone, “The Iron Wall Mercenary Corps is quite distinctive.

They have at least three core machine gunners making up the backbone of their group.

Generally speaking, the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps is good at defense.

They have three machine gunners, usually deploying three machine gun squads in combat.

When it comes to defending, especially key locations or cooperating with other mercenary groups, they can be quite troublesome.”

Wild Man laughed, “Machine gunners?

We have Big Dog!”

Wild Man and Glolov were old acquaintances, and people who knew Glolov usually had confidence, Gao Yang and his were like that, and apparently so were Wild Man and his group.

Glolov laughed and said, “Don’t interrupt, I’m on the plane.

If we really encounter tough machine gunners, I can’t jump down from the plane to cover you all.”

Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “Right, don’t be careless, the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps is indeed formidable.

Let me roughly explain the situation with Iron Wall.”

Gao Yang took out a piece of paper and read aloud, “Stein Boke, nicknamed ‘Knight’, German, around 35 years old, machine gunner, uses MG3, leader of the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps, former German Army.

His characteristic is, of course, his exceptional skill with machine guns.

Then there’s Pirodi, nicknamed Blasting Bear, also from Germany, about the same age.

He is a fire assault specialist and is also Stein Boke’s assistant shooter, using an M4 rifle or a G36.

This guy has a fiery temper, but he listens to Stein very well.

It’s speculated that he and Stein are old comrades, and they have known each other for a long time; essentially, these two are inseparable as a team.”

Gao Yang flipped a page and continued, “Eugenius, machine gunner, nicknamed Hot, Russian, claims to be from a certain Signal Flag heavy weaponry unit, skilled in using all Russian-made infantry heavy weapons, uses a PKM machine gun, performs equally well.

This is another core member of the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps.

Then there’s Lamia Spitz, Greek, assault specialist and assistant shooter to Eugenius, nicknamed Jazz.

His most proud achievement was single-handedly wiping out two enemy assault squads and severely damaging two more in an encounter, although luck played a part, he’s quite formidable, using an M4A1.

Clearly, these two guys make up another fixed machine gun team.”

“Next is Tony Eric, African American, nicknamed Spring Hand, from the 75th Rangers Regiment, has excellent arm strength, can throw grenades over 70 meters effortlessly, machine gunner.

But this guy is somewhat special; he uses an M249.

Because of his strong arm strength, he can handle the machine gun as an assault rifle in urgent situations.

This guy shoots accurately, but as a machine gunner, he’s not exactly proficient in suppression.

According to the information I have, this guy doesn’t have an assistant shooter, but remember, this data is from last year, meaning it’s very likely that the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps has added more manpower since.

Additionally, from some information I’ve obtained, the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps has provided training for IS machine gunners, whose performance after their training, you wouldn’t believe they are from the Rebel Army.”

After a pause, Gao Yang spoke loudly, “As I’ve told you, a group of Russians encountered an attack, and among the attackers, the machine gunner was particularly outstanding.

That machine gunner was trained by the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps.”

Gale spoke loudly, “If they can teach the Rebel Army how to use machine guns properly, I think their mouths are more formidable than their machine guns.”

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, “If I were you, I would tend to view the Iron Wall Mercenary Corps as a formidable opponent rather than mock them.

Guys, this is the situation; the intelligence isn’t very detailed and we don’t know much about the enemy.

Now you know there are formidable machine gunners among the enemy, and you all understand how to deal with machine gunners, I won’t say much more.

Now tell me, do you still want to continue to fight?”

Aimer raised his hand and said solemnly, “I don’t know what others think, but I believe the advantage is on our side.

Casualties are of course possible, but I don’t believe they will definitely be me.

As a mercenary, personally, I can bear a casualty rate of less than 50%, so I don’t see any reason to back down.”

Knowing both yourself and your enemy will lead to countless victories, everyone understands this principle, but the question is, from ancient times to the present, who has really been able to do this?

Hence, during war, it’s always both sides doing their utmost to surpass the other, but unless there is a drastically uneven match-up, no one can guarantee victory.

If the gap is really significant, it might be determined who will be victorious even before the war starts; therefore, predicting the outcome in a war is possible, but predicting casualties in advance is difficult.

As for predicting who will die and who won’t during a battle, only a deity would dare to make such a prediction in ancient and modern times.

Mercenaries earn money by taking life-threatening risks.

When faced with a potentially favorable but risky mission, would anyone give up?

Of course not, even knowing that a battle could have significant casualties, these mercenaries would not back down.

Otherwise, what’s the point of being a mercenary?

For a large portion of mercenaries, it is a profession for which only death can definitively end; and before actual death, no one believes they will be the unlucky one.

Gao Yang paid in a timely and ample manner, and the bonuses were absolutely generous.

Now that war is nearing, a large bonus is beckoning, so who would think about the possibility of dying in battle at this time?

They only think about enduring a tough fight to earn more money.

Once confirmed that no one would drop out, Gao Yang smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, “Good, since no one is dropping out, let me briefly talk about the combat deployment.

Everyone, please look at the big photo.”

Hanging on the wall was a large aerial photo, next to which was a map taken by a reconnaissance plane.

The photo clearly marked two very tall buildings, and next to these two buildings was a row of somewhat irregularly positioned small houses, forming the shape of a ‘7’.

“Everyone, please look.

Do you see these cars?

Based on the parking arrangement of these vehicles, we can roughly determine that the target is hiding within the building complex primarily consisting of these two buildings, but we cannot pinpoint the exact location.

The informant providing the intelligence couldn’t get too close, so we need to pay attention to this entire group of buildings.”

After letting everyone see the photo, Gao Yang continued, “We have a firepower advantage; we have laser-guided bombs.

We must utilize this firepower advantage.

Both buildings are eight stories high; if we treat these two buildings as attack targets, searching each floor sequentially would prolong the battle and increase the risks substantially.

Hence, my plan is to use laser-guided bombs to demolish these two buildings first.”

Gao Yang slammed his hand on the table, grinding his teeth and said, “To ensure the bombing effect, we will use ground laser designators.

Therefore, we will have people parachute down first to land on the ground and guide the laser-guided bombs to eliminate the two buildings posing the greatest threat.” (To be continued.
