Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1083 - 1083 1066 Hornet's Nest

1083: Chapter 1066: Hornet’s Nest 1083: Chapter 1066: Hornet’s Nest In the adjacent houses, using Skunk Bombs is truly problematic.

The ones that have been constantly firing can’t be hit, the security personnel with the VIPs won’t shoot prematurely.

On the contrary, unless they are directly and fatally threatened, they would rather wait to avoid exposing their target.

So, places where the firepower is intense are basically ruled out for hiding any kind of high-value targets.

Gao Yang glanced around and pointed at a building that was constantly shooting but with relatively weaker firepower, “Hit there!”

After aiming for a moment, Li Yunzhe’s first rifle grenade hit the second floor squarely.

“Yeah!

Bullseye!”

Strangely, there was no reaction.

The Skunk Bomb had been fired, but no one came out, as if there was indeed no one inside.

“How come there’s no reaction?

Is there no one inside, or did the Skunk Bomb fail?”

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Li Yunzhe called out in surprise.

Others could force a few people out with Skunk Bombs, but his Skunk Bomb didn’t elicit any response, which gave Li Yunzhe a sense of frustration.

Gao Yang didn’t know whether there was no one inside or if it was some other situation, but in just a moment, he realized that something was amiss.

The people inside the house hit by the Skunk Bomb weren’t absent; rather, they were too important, and the enemies didn’t rush out because they wanted to escape under safe conditions.

“Watch out!

Open fire!”

The enemy suddenly appeared, pouring out from behind almost all the windows at the same time.

The enemy stopped hiding and chose to shoot all at once, attempting to eliminate Gao Yang and his team with maximum firepower.

Gao’s gun began to rapidly fire continuously, but they were already caught in a pincer attack by the enemy.

Once the enemy stopped caring about casualties and the threat from the helicopters, the situation immediately became much more dangerous.

“Helicopter!

Fire suppression!

Full force suppression!”

Gao Yang shouted hoarsely, to hell with conserving ammunition, if they don’t use their strongest firepower, they are going to be done for.

Gao Yang didn’t miss a shot, but there were too many enemies.

On the open ground, people continuously stopped shooting, and at this time, there was only one reason for stopping – they had died.

The enemy’s relentless shooting truly inflicted heavy casualties on Gao Yang and his team.

Gao Yang’s muzzle moved continuously.

After emptying a magazine, Gao Yang hit the ground with a roll before loading a new magazine.

Gao Yang saw Li Yunzhe close to him stagger and fall after finishing a burst, but Li Yunzhe immediately got back up and continued to fire.

Gao Yang was in danger because he was wearing a bulletproof vest, not a heavy bulletproof jacket with a large coverage and effective protection.

Li Yunzhe could continue to fight after being shot, but Gao couldn’t – one bullet could possibly mean death for him.

Finally, people ran out of the house that had been hit by the Skunk Bomb.

While firing, they fled towards the houses on both sides, but Gao didn’t give them a chance to escape, killing three people with three shots, and no more came out from inside.

Glolov had also joined the fire suppression effort; he had to shoot, not using the most intense firepower to suppress the enemies would make the situation even more dangerous for Gao Yang and his team.

“Scimitar!

Falcon!

Support, support!

All-out attack, launch an all-out assault!”

The enemy was more numerous than expected, much more.

Gao Yang felt as if the enemy was unending, simply too many.

There was a force no fewer than two hundred strong here.

With a twenty-round magazine, Gao Yang emptied it in just ten seconds.

He shot quickly and accurately, but he could only control a small area.

The fight unexpectedly escalated to a fever pitch without warning.

Li Yunzhe’s Skunk Bomb had hit a hornet’s nest.

Clearly, Li Yunzhe’s Skunk Bomb had smoked out a key figure, but the key figure’s bodyguards weren’t stupid.

They didn’t run out directly but initiated a fierce onslaught from everyone all at once, creating a chance for them to move or escape.

The helicopter had ammunition, to use for a direct assault on the Hornet’s nest, striving to take out the Bee King inside, or to attack the frenzied swarm attacking from all around.

The helicopters were now using all their firepower; there was no way to hold back anymore.

“Night Demon One, running low on ammo!

Out of cannon rounds!”

“Night Demon Two, running low on ammo!

I’m out of rockets!”

Both sides instantly entered a deadly battle without regard for casualties; no one cared about combat plans anymore.

Just pointing the gun and unleashing bullets on any shooting object was all that mattered, other considerations were impossible to attend to.

Every second, people were dying, a moment’s hesitation spelled the end.

The Hornet’s nest that had been disturbed could possibly have the Bee King.

As Gao Yang reloaded a new magazine, Night Demon One’s pilot bellowed, “Night Demon One, last rocket, aim for the Hornet’s nest or the threat!”

“Hornet’s nest” was a code previously established; the pilot knew what it meant.

Whether to target the place that could be harboring Badadi, or to hit the enemy’s strongest, most ferocious fire point?

Gao Yang didn’t hesitate for a moment.

“Fire a warning shot!”

Night Demon One immediately launched the last rocket, targeting a building with extremely intense machine-gun fire, which was not the Hornet’s nest.

Why did Gao Yang come to Syria?

Gao Yang came to Syria for revenge, to kill Badadi, one of the culprits responsible for Bruce’s death.

But Gao Yang let his enemy go.

The reason was too simple.

He came for revenge for the late Bruce, but now, everyone’s life was in danger, everyone was in the midst of gunfire and artillery, to prioritize killing the target for vengeance or to save the lives of the living, the choice was all too easy.

“Reload!”

Glolov bellowed, reminding others that aerial, the most effective fire suppression, must pause for a moment.

Gao Yang aimed his gun at the position Glolov had just been suppressing and opened continuous fire.

He wasn’t pressuring the enemy; he was aiming to kill.

“Night Demon Four!

Enemy reinforcements are approaching in large numbers, less than two hundred meters away!”

Night Demon Four was originally on the outskirts of the building to ward off anyone trying to escape, but now Night Demon Four had to move above the clearing because machine guns don’t turn corners.

Only from here, could Glolov provide his precious fire support to the troops suffering lethal attacks.

This was the decisive battle.

If they could take down the enemy occupying the advantageous terrain, they could repel the enemy’s reinforcements.

If they hadn’t broken into the building before the enemy reinforcements arrived, there was no need to say anything else—the situation would be gone.

Gale really went berserk and roared while firing at the enemy.

It was as if the enemy couldn’t be killed off.

For every one shot dead, someone new would take their place and continue firing.

Gao Yang estimated that in just under a minute, at least a hundred enemies had been wounded or killed, yet their firepower seemed undiminished.

The enemy still occupied a total of forty to fifty buildings.

Even if there were only ten people in each house, that was a force of four to five hundred men.

This battle was going to be tough.

“Night Demon One returning to base!

I will reload and return as fast as I can, brothers hold on!”

“Night Demon Two, I’ve used up all my rounds.

Brothers, you must hold on!”

Both Mi-24s were out of ammunition.

The situation was unfavorable, and Gao Yang’s mind had completely calmed down.

But at this moment, Eileen in the sky gave Gao Yang another piece of bad news.

“People are escaping!

We misidentified the Hornet’s nest!

The house on the right is the Hornet’s nest!

The enemy has come out from underground, there’s a tunnel!

At least a dozen people.

F**k, they’re getting away!

They will soon join up with their reinforcements!”

This was the enemy’s final ploy: to lure the helicopters away, exhaust their firepower, and create a safe escape opportunity for the enemy’s most core personnel.

“The ammunition is reloaded!

Hit that side!”

It was another bellow from Glolov.

Night Demon Four had to choose whether to go and shoot at those fleeing or to stay and continue the suppression.

There was no need to hesitate, revenge was put aside, saving the lives of the living, and saving as many as possible.

“Shoot this way!

Don’t care about anything else.

F**k!

I’ll do it!”

Gao Yang roared and loaded the fourth magazine.

“I’ll go see who’s running away!”

There was still Jansen’s drone in the air above the battlefield, which had now completely lost its function.

Surveillance was no longer necessary.

The drone flew very fast, certainly faster than running.

Just a few seconds later, Jansen had already controlled the drone to land and was filming the group of people who were fleeing frantically from almost a face-to-face angle.

“F**k!

Badadi!

Badadi!

Badadi is in there, I confirm it, I’ve seen him!”

Jansen’s voice was anxious and helpless; he couldn’t help but abandon the use of code.

He even began to regret coming over for this look.

Watching his enemy escape was not a pleasant feeling.

Gao Yang felt helpless.

His enemy was about to escape, this was the best chance, the only chance so far, but he wasn’t angry or regretful.

Survival was the most important thing, more important than revenge.

Gao Yang felt there was no more chance, he gave up.

It was a pity that his efforts fell short, but it couldn’t be helped.

Even if he had one more night-capable armed helicopter, even if he had one more combat bomber with night-fighting capability, even if he had one more air standby, mobile reserve force, not many people were needed, even just ten people, no, only five people, the result would be entirely different.

Alas, the battlefield never understood what-ifs, nor did it have them.

Gao Yang was the closest to Li Yunzhe.

Taylor and Li Jinfang were fortunate in their shooting, not slow, effective, but they consistently fired in three-round bursts or even single shots.

On a blood-red battlefield, such firepower could be ignored by the enemy.

Li Yunzhe’s bursts were slightly longer, so Gao Yang saw Li Yunzhe be knocked down for the second time.

Gao Yang no longer thought about the escaping Badadi; he was focused on the critical situation at hand, but just as he completely gave up, Tommy’s voice suddenly rang in his earpiece.

“I have four rounds of ammunition, let me try.”

Although he knew Tommy could only perform a nearly blind barrage at night, relying on Jansen’s drone’s provided vision, and the enemy was fleeing desperately, hearing Tommy’s voice gave Gao Yang new hope.

Tommy quickly roared again: “Four rounds rapid fire, go!” (To be continued.
