Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1128 - 1128 One Thousand One Hundred and Eleven You Believed Quickly

1128: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Eleven: You Believed Quickly 1128: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Eleven: You Believed Quickly After making two important phone calls, Gao Yang returned to the outside of the infirmary, at this time, Andy He’s surgery was still ongoing.

Gao Yang glanced at Jansen, whose injuries looked the most terrifying, with blood all over his face and body.

Although Andy He had managed to stop the bleeding on Jansen’s facial wounds, they were not bandaged but left open to the air.

The wound on Jansen’s face was quite large, one could even see the bones inside.

When in battle, no one felt anything, but now, looking at Jansen’s face gave one a heart-wrenching feeling.

It goes without saying, Jansen’s face was definitely disfigured.

Jansen was originally very handsome, even delicately beautiful, which was why some called him effeminate.

However, without proper plastic surgery for his injuries, an ugly scar would inevitably remain on his face.

Jansen lay in a guards’ rest room opposite the infirmary, where there were several beds with sheets so dirty their original color was indiscernible.

Jansen lay on one of those beds, but he wasn’t asleep.

“Big Bird, how are you feeling?”

“Okay, just a bit dizzy and nauseous, but other than that, I don’t feel much of anything else.

Boss, have you seen my drone?”

Gao Yang waved his hand, saying, “It’s been retrieved.

Dragon Knight got it for you, Little Fly brought it back, but I don’t know where he put it.”

With a worried tone, Jansen said, “It’s not broken, is it?

It didn’t crash, did it?

Boss, can you bring the drone here for me to see?”

Gao Yang really didn’t know where the drone had been left.

Frey had taken the drone aboard the helicopter, but after the helicopter made an emergency landing, it was uncertain where the drone ended up.

Gao Yang nodded and said, “It’s just a drone, if it’s broken, we’ll buy another one, no worries.

I’ll go look for it now.”

Most people were still outside the infirmary, as Gao Yang walked out, he asked Frey, “Where’s Big Bird’s drone?

I remember you took it on the helicopter.”

Frey slapped his thigh and quickly said, “It’s broken, left on the helicopter.

It crashed and broke into pieces, I don’t know where it landed.”

Eileen waved her hand, saying, “The helicopter hasn’t exploded until now, so it won’t explode.

I’ll go look inside the cabin.”

Gao Yang, somewhat worried, frowned and said, “Let it be, it might be too dangerous.”

Frey also hurriedly said, “I should go instead, the drone is too important, it might still be useful, and besides, it’s very expensive.”

Eileen, undeterred, said, “Let’s go together, don’t worry, there’s no danger.”

Eileen and Frey hurriedly left, that’s when Saidev urgently asked, “What is she doing?”

Gao Yang responded solemnly, “She’s going inside the helicopter to look for something.”

Saidev immediately said, “Need help?”

Gao Yang waved his hand, “No need, she can handle it herself, Major, we still have some time, please give me an update on the situation here.”

Saidev immediately said, “Yes, General, what would you like to know?”

“How many people do we have now?

How are supplies obtained, and is the current situation very dangerous?”

“General, Aleppo Prison is manned by the Aleppo Ninth SWAT Team.

At the beginning of this year, when the Rebel Army heavily attacked Aleppo, some field units and militias also retreated into the prison, plus about forty prisoners who volunteered to fight the Rebel Army.

Currently, our total force is around five hundred ninety people, with about two thousand prisoners inside.

Our only source of supplies is airdrops.

The water supply has been cut off, initially we mainly relied on collecting rainwater to solve the drinking water problem, but now we have dug a well, ensuring the water supply.

The airdrops are quite timely now, ensuring that soldiers can get basic food supplies twice a day, and prisoners can get it once a day.

Ammunition is a bit tight, but still sufficient.

The biggest问题是药品,最近的战斗很激烈,叛军几乎每天都发起进攻,伤员不少,药品已经用完了,需要等待下一次空投,不过应该很快就会得到补给.”

As for the situation, the current situation has improved a lot compared to before.

I’ve been notified that an armored division is coming to our rescue.

They were only two kilometers away from here in October, but they have been unable to break through the Rebel Army’s defense lines since then.

We still don’t know when they can break the siege of the Rebel Army.

General, is there anything else you would like to know?”

Gao Yang knew that Aleppo Prison had airdrops, otherwise they wouldn’t have lasted this long, and having airdrops meant they could leave Aleppo Prison.

Gao Yang nodded and asked, “Major, in what manner are the airdrops conducted?

Helicopter drops, or fixed-wing aircraft drops?”

Saidev replied gravely, “Initially, it was both methods.

Helicopter drops were more reliable, but since the Rebel Army obtained anti-aircraft missiles, helicopter drops have become too dangerous.

Two helicopters have already been shot down and crashed outside the prison.

So now it’s only fixed-wing aircraft drops, which are a bit safer, though sometimes the supplies are accidentally dropped onto the Rebel Army’s positions.”

Gao Yang frowned and said, “Can’t helicopters get close?”

Saidev nodded, “Yes, helicopters can’t get close.

The Rebel Army has several anti-aircraft gun positions, mostly 23mm guns, and lots of man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), which don’t really affect fixed-wing aircraft but pose a great threat to helicopters.”

If helicopters can’t get close, that’s problematic, as it means Gao Yang and his team can’t leave.

Gao Yang stood up and paced back and forth a few steps before finally saying solemnly, “Major, we have an important mission to complete, so we need to leave here as soon as possible.

Do you think there is any sufficiently safe and reliable way for us to leave?”

Saidev smiled and said, “General, the only possibility for leaving here is by helicopter, but as for leaving safely, no one can guarantee that.

It’s very likely to be shot down by the Rebel Army.

The only way to leave safely is to wait for the reinforcements to break the Rebel Army’s siege.”

Gao Yang sighed and said, “Alright, I understand.”

After finishing, Gao Yang extended his left hand and saluted Saidev, saying, “Major, you have all held out for a long time, you’ve done very well, salute to you.”

Gao Yang’s right arm was injured, so he could only salute with his left hand, but that was no issue.

Saidev, excited, stood at attention, returned the salute, and loudly said, “General, as long as we are not dead, the Rebel Army will never get Aleppo Prison.

We must hold on to the very last moment!

It is our duty.”

Although a foreigner and although it was an honorary rank, a major general is still a major general, appointed by the Syrian Ministry of Defense, personally awarded by Assad.

In Syria, Gao Yang is a major general, so when facing Saidev and the defenders of Aleppo Prison, Gao Yang has the authority and the responsibility to commend them, boosting their morale.

After speaking briefly with Saidev, Gao Yang turned and saluted the soldiers watching him again, loudly saying, “You have held out for a long time, you have served your country well, everyone has worked hard!”

The crowd saluted back, and after Gao Yang finished verbally praising the excited defenders, Saidev, with a look of excitement, asked, “General, you came from the outside, what is the situation like out there now?”

Gao Yang nodded and said in a grave tone, “The situation has greatly improved now, the Rebel Army has suffered several heavy blows, but as you know, Aleppo is the most intense battleground with the Rebel Army.

Our military strength in Aleppo is still not very substantial, but everyone can rest assured, all of Syria is following your situation closely, many are working hard to get you out of this predicament, and I believe it won’t be long before the siege by the Rebel Army will be broken.”

Morale must be boosted.

Gao Yang certainly couldn’t say, “Don’t have hope, Aleppo Prison will sooner or later be breached,” that would be absurd.

So, regardless of the actual situation, it definitely needs to be told positively.

True or false, receiving good news itself is good news.

No one would question whether this good news is true or not, as people always like to hear what they hope to hear.

Saidev laughed heartily, as did everyone else, and then a soldier excitedly asked Gao Yang, “General, you came through fierce battles, how was the fighting outside, many Rebel Army soldiers must have died, right?”

Gao Yang smiled and nodded, saying, “Yes, we killed a lot of Rebel Army soldiers.

Did you hear the sound of the big bomb?

That was us using laser-guided bombs.

We guided the bombs to destroy the Rebel Army’s headquarters.

Although we were surrounded by enemy forces, the bombs hit their targets accurately.

As for how many Rebel Army soldiers died, I think, at least six or seven hundred.”

Gao Yang told a well-intentioned lie, and as for the number of Rebel Army deaths, he just gave a conservative estimate.

Saidev was very happy, excitedly saying, “You bombed the Rebel Army’s headquarters?

Yes, the sound came from there, that’s great, maybe we can break the Rebel Army’s siege soon.”

The soldiers were also very happy, but they were a bit skeptical of Gao Yang’s battle achievements.

One soldier, gathering courage, asked, “General, was it just your group that killed six or seven hundred?”

At this, Rafael proudly said, “I know what you’re thinking.

Let me tell you, don’t doubt it, our Boss, which is the General, killed three hundred sixty-eight Rebel Army soldiers by himself, plus seventeen foreign mercenaries, nearly a total of three hundred eighty-five people!

This is just the General’s individual achievement, and it’s been precisely counted, absolutely correct.”

Including Saidev, everyone looked a bit baffled, and Saidev even lowered his head, feeling that Rafael was exaggerating too much.

Rafael, knowing that these achievements might be hard to believe, didn’t get angry but confidently waved his hand, loudly saying, “I know what you’re thinking, it’s okay if you don’t believe it now, but you’ll believe it soon.” (To be continued.
