Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1108 - 1108 One Thousand and Ninety-One The Trap

1108: Chapter One Thousand and Ninety-One: The Trap 1108: Chapter One Thousand and Ninety-One: The Trap “Sea Eagle, two bombs away!”

Just as Gao Yang quietly issued the order to abort the mission and retreat immediately over the walkie-talkie, Taylor sent out the bombing command over the ultra-high frequency radio in communication with the fighter jet, because he had already aimed the laser beam at the building where Badadi was hiding.

Gao Yang didn’t notice anything; he simply felt something was wrong and issued the immediate evacuation order, which was quite decisive.

Hesitate and you invite chaos.

Feeling that something was off, one must not hesitate.

Even if a great opportunity is lost, one must never fall into the risk of total annihilation.

Gao Yang had a bad feeling, but the basis for his decision was not just his sixth sense; it was his sense of crisis, which had saved his life several times, that sobered him up from the joy of successful infiltration, merely prompting him to consider the irrational aspects of the situation.

Too many coincidences.

A coincidence is normal, but when too many coincidences converge, it’s abnormal.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the sentinel Li Jinfang had felt up had no companions nearby was something Gao Yang couldn’t understand.

Even if the Rebel Army were foolish enough not to have double sentinels at a post, they should at least let the sentinels stay where they could see each other.

The arrangement of the sentinels was a flaw, a big, stupid flaw.

If there were only the amateurish Rebel Army here, Gao Yang might have accepted the enemy making such a foolish mistake.

But, this village had Badadi, the Iron Madonna, and the famed Camel leading the Caucasus Troops.

Gao Yang found it hard to believe that the Iron Madonna would allow such a foolish vulnerability in the defense of her base.

Recalling Jansen’s discovery during aerial reconnaissance, it seemed there were three potential entry points around the village, allowing direct access to Badadi’s hiding place after bypassing the outermost sentinel, and one could get close enough to attack without the need for a Laser-Guided Bomb.

Gao Yang did not think he was wearing a halo of stupidity that made his enemies become foolish just by fighting him.

On the contrary, Gao Yang thought that among his enemies there were some fools, but many more were cruel and cunning adversaries; they were shrewd and veteran soldiers.

If you know the enemy is not foolish, but they do something foolish, how can it be explained?

According to Gao Yang’s habit, he was more inclined to believe it was a trap set by the enemy.

Underestimating oneself is one thing, but underestimating the enemy could cost you your life.

Gao Yang considered the enemy to be formidable.

Badadi had proven his cunning more than once, and the Iron Madonna was certainly not incompetent.

Thus, upon sensing something amiss, Gao Yang immediately decided to retreat.

Forget about revenge, abandon the guidance, cancel the mission, withdraw at the fastest speed.

If this decision was wrong and the situation not as complex as Gao Yang thought, then it would mean losing a precious opportunity.

But if the decision was right, then the trouble was only just beginning.

At Gao Yang’s command, everyone was taken aback.

It was the first time Satan’s people showed a brief moment of stupefaction rather than an instant response and obedience to Gao Yang’s orders.

The order was too unexpected and sudden, but after not hesitating too long, one second later, Li Jinfang, who was certain he hadn’t misheard, immediately patted Taylor beside him.

Taylor glanced at the laser designator, then urgently said: “Sea Eagle, abort launch!”

After hearing in the headset that the bombs had been dropped and it was beyond retrieval, Taylor did not hesitate to stand up, turn around, and leave.

He had completed the targeting; the laser device was no longer needed and could stay in place to continue guiding the laser.

No matter how absurd or unbelievable the orders were, once they had been issued, those in the position to follow orders, not give them, just had to comply.

Li Jinfang and Taylor hastily retreated back, one after the other, whereas Gao Yang moved forward, covering their retreat from the open ground, even though Li Jinfang and Taylor were just less than ten meters into the open space.

Suddenly, gunshot rang out, with Li Jinfang hitting the ground in response.

The gunfire was not continuous, just one followed by another nearly concurrently before Li Jinfang fell, and the laser designator Taylor placed on the ground shattered as if in response.

“Trap!”

No need to hide anymore, this was the enemy’s trap.

Gao Yang was unable to detect the enemy beforehand, but as soon as the enemy fired, he immediately spotted them.

Many people.

Gao Yang fired a shot instantly and, impossibly, managed to fire a second before a normal person could have.

The person Gao Yang aimed at was, unsurprisingly, hit.

At that moment, Taylor had already grabbed Li Jinfang, who was lying on the ground, pulling his arm and sprinting towards Gao Yang’s position.

Gunfire intensified suddenly.

When Gao Yang killed the third person, Taylor fell with a thud beside Li Jinfang.

Glorov flashed behind Gao Yang; he couldn’t care less about shooting from prone position, he cradled the machine gun to his chest and began sweeping fire.

As Gao Yang aimed at his fourth target, he felt as if he was brutally struck in the chest with a hammer, his vision darkened, and involuntarily, he fell backward to the ground.

Gao Yang was simply knocked down by the staggering force; after falling, he lost all capacity to resist.

But, standing at the mouth of the passageway, once he fell, the enemies on both sides couldn’t shoot at him, and the enemy in front had been dealt with by Gao Yang in the preceding moment.

Flara grabbed Gao Yang by the shoulders and pulled him back.

Once they were completely out of the enemy’s shooting range, he promptly threw three shock grenades onto the open ground.

Shock grenades don’t cause much harm when used in an open area, but their intense flashes can temporarily disable the enemy’s night vision devices.

Modern night vision devices won’t be burned out by bright light, but their vision will definitely be affected, even if just for a brief second.

“Ambush, multiple people shot!

Worker Bee, cover us!”

Rafael yelled as he was about to rush into the open area to rescue Jinfang and Taylor.

However, at this moment, Jinfang had gotten up from the ground, dragging Taylor by the shoulder, using all four limbs to crawl desperately towards the entrance.

It was just five meters away, yet it was a life-or-death gulf.

Jinfang was shot again and fell to the ground, and then Taylor also got up, slightly arching his back and letting out a shout.

He dragged Jinfang, crawling back with the same movements as Jinfang.

“Little Fly, blow up the machine gun, blow it up!”

Glolov was firing the machine gun from his hip, which wasn’t very accurate, but his suppressive fire bought life-saving time.

At least the enemy’s machine gunner hadn’t been able to open fire continuously.

Flara ripped off the rocket launcher while Cui Bo dropped his sniper rifle.

Rafael at the front, Cui Bo at the back, were ready to run out into the open ground to rescue Jinfang and Taylor.

But Rafael had barely left the entrance when he fell forward to the ground.

Cui Bo didn’t need to rescue Jinfang and Taylor now.

He grabbed Rafael’s feet and pulled Rafael back first.

Jinfang struggled to his feet again, and Taylor also got up almost at the same time.

Gao finally sat up from the ground with difficulty.

After shaking his head, he lunged forward, kneeling on one knee to fire a shot, and then, finally, Flara launched the rocket launcher.

Gao and Flara had bought a little more time.

Jinfang’s right arm and Taylor’s left arm were tangled together.

The two men dragged each other as they crawled back.

They were about to reach the entrance when Andy He, who had rushed to the mouth of the entrance, roared, “RPG!”

“Ugh!”

Jinfang and Taylor both stood up; then, the two of them lunged heavily onto Gao just as the rocket exploded beside them.

The rocket hit the wall on Gao’s left, about two meters above the ground, not directly hitting anyone.

However, Gao, Jinfang, Taylor, Glolov, Flara, Rafael, Cui Bo, Andy He – all of them were within the blast radius of the rocket.

Gao was pinned down by two sturdy men, so when the rocket exploded, he was the only one completely unharmed.

Gao felt a bit panicked; he feared this might be his last battle ever.

Struggling to push off the weight of Jinfang and Taylor, the dazed Gao sat on the ground, raised his gun again, and heard three successive mortar explosions.

“It’s a trap, get out of here!

The enemy is coming out in force, a lot of them, they’re charging over.

The least people are on the original route back, hurry!”

Jansen yelled hoarsely into their earpieces.

Gao turned his head and saw that Jinfang and Taylor had finally crawled back.

He cleared the enemy facing the alley between the two buildings; no one was behind him.

The primary threats came from both sides.

Gao tried to stand up, and then he saw Rafael getting to his feet as well, followed by Glolov.

Andy He struggled to get up but couldn’t, and cried out in pain, “I’ve been shot!”

Gao glanced at Jinfang and Taylor.

Taylor had been shot in the butt, while Jinfang was luckier – the bullet hit his helmet, blocking the shrapnel.

The rocket probably wasn’t a specialized fragmentary grenade, so it produced fewer fragments, but it still caused severe injuries.

Gao stood up and roared, “Anyone dead?

If not, retreat!

I’ll hold them off, hurry, move it!”

At that moment, Taylor still had the mood to laugh.

Chuckling, he said urgently, “I’m not dead, thank goodness for the armor plate!

Haha!”

While laughing, Taylor spat blood onto the ground as if spitting saliva, then, after wiping his mouth, took the rifle off his back, looked at it, and casually tossed it aside before pulling out a pistol.

Jinfang also wobbly stood up, and Andy He, after another effort, finally got on his feet as well.

Glolov, unscathed, patted his ear which was ringing from the blast wave, muttered something about luck, and immediately began to reload the ammunition belt.

Three consecutive explosions rang out again; Tommy’s mortars bought life-saving time.

Although things looked dire, only Cui Bo still lay on the ground.

Gao, holding his gun, took two steps to Cui Bo’s side and gave Cui Bo a hard kick, crying out, “Rabbit, you motherfucker, get up!”

Andy He was already heading towards Cui Bo, but Gao’s kick seemed to have called back Cui Bo’s spirit.

Suddenly, Cui Bo sat up, turned his head, and then reached out to touch his eyes, yelling, “My eyes!” (To be continued.
