Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1134 - 1134 One Thousand One Hundred and Seventeen Sadness and Joy

1134: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Seventeen: Sadness and Joy 1134: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Seventeen: Sadness and Joy Kendy Hospital and Aleppo Prison are very close to each other, merely two or three kilometers apart, and they have almost been surrounded and besieged by the Rebel Army together.

Now, has Kendy Hospital finally fallen?

The communication between Kendy Hospital and Aleppo Prison has been cut off, but these two strongholds, which have been under siege for a year, could still detain some of the Rebel Army’s forces and provide some cover for each other.

But now thick smoke is billowing from the location of Kendy Hospital.

At least Aleppo Prison still has thick walls for cover, which played a key role in resisting the Rebel Army’s attacks.

Kendy Hospital, on the other hand, is merely a regular building, with a T55 tank and a BMP armored vehicle positioned at the entrance as fixed fire points.

Initially, the defending force of Kendy Hospital was only over three hundred people, but after a year of defense, who knows how many are still alive in there.

Saidev’s face turned pale as he stood on the rooftop, motionlessly watching the thick smoke rise to the south.

The distance is so short that one can easily see what is happening over at Kendy Hospital.

Gao Yang’s face also looked gloomy as the situation he saw through his binoculars was not good.

He spotted a T72 tank followed by more than a dozen Rebels charging towards the Kendy Hospital building, and in front of the tank, a BMP armored vehicle had already reached the bottom of the hospital building.

Saidev said in a daze, “Kendy Hospital is not going to hold.”

Gao Yang saw the Rebels surrounding the prison celebrating the capture of Kendy Hospital.

Some were waving flags, others raising their arms in the air on the ground.

Although he couldn’t hear them, Gao Yang guessed they must be cheering.

Anyway, the defending force of Kendy Hospital is also an ally now.

The plight of allies made Gao Yang very uncomfortable, but even though his heart was heavy, he still hurriedly made a phone call.

Taking a few steps back and making the call, Gao Yang said anxiously, “Buddy, where are you at?”

“On the plane, we’ve entered Syrian airspace.

We plan to perform the airdrop when the Rebels have their midday prayer.”

“Advance the airdrop plan!

Kendy Prison has fallen, the Rebel Army’s attention is on the hospital.

This is an opportunity; it might make the airdrop easier.”

After notifying those responsible for the airdrop to move up the schedule, Gao Yang said to Saidev in a deep voice, “The Rebels have deployed tanks, have they done so before?”

Seeing an ally’s stronghold that endured a year’s siege finally collapsing was supremely distressing.

Saidev was still upset about the fall of Kendy Hospital, but Gao Yang saw a crisis coming.

Shaken out of his stupor by Gao’s question, Saidev’s expression grew even grimmer as he shook his head and said heavily, “No, the Rebels never used tanks before, nor armored vehicles.”

Gao Yang’s face also looked grim as he waved his hand and said deeply, “They’ll soon be using the tanks on us.

Got any anti-tank weapons?”

Saidev replied helplessly, “We have Rocket Launchers, only Rocket Launchers.”

Gao Yang let out a breath and said, “The airdrop is imminent, but Rocket Launchers alone won’t cut it.

We need Anti-tank missiles, or at least larger-caliber rocket launchers.”

Rafael said in a severe tone, “The Rebels used suicide trucks, they’ve loaded a lot of Fake Medicine, at least ten tons.

If they use the same method to attack the prison, no, they will definitely use the same method to assault the prison, we must be prepared.”

Saidev seemed anxious, his voice heavy, “The enemy might launch a full-scale attack on us, I need to go arrange for stronger security measures.”

Saidev hurried away; staying was of no use to him, seeing Kendy Prison overtaken by the Rebels was too agonizing.

Gao Yang did not leave.

He stayed on the rooftop, watching every move of the Rebels through his binoculars.

How the Rebels fought against Kendy Hospital would be how they attacked the prison, and understanding more about the enemy’s attack patterns was certainly beneficial.

The tactics of the Rebel Army could be counted on one’s fingers: using tanks and armored vehicles to cover the infantry as they approached the enemy was already a significant improvement on their part.

As Gao Yang watched the Rebels shell the hospital building with their tank guns, he felt a small sense of relief; although the Rebels had tanks, they clearly didn’t quite know how to use them yet.

At least one-quarter of Kendy Hospital had collapsed, but the fight was still ongoing.

The enemy continued to fire their cannons intermittently, which struck Gao Yang as odd because the explosive force that Kendy Hospital had suffered should have been enough to leave no survivors inside.

Or at the very least, any survivors should have been knocked unconscious by the blasts, leading to swift Rebel progress.

Time ticked away, and almost everyone who could from Satan Mercenary Corps was on the rooftop, closely observing the Rebels’ every action.

Not until the Rebels dragged a dozen people out of the hospital building and executed them all in front of many Rebels did the assault on Kendy Hospital finally come to an end.

Just then, Taylor suddenly said in a deep voice, “The plane for our airdrop has arrived.”

Gao Yang looked up at the sky but could not spot any aircraft.

However, he heard the humming sound of a plane.

Taylor pointed towards the northern sky.

Gao Yang walked over to Taylor’s side and grabbed the wireless handset on Taylor’s back, saying deeply, “Proceed with the airdrop.”

Soon enough, Gao Yang saw an aircraft make an appearance.

The plane was not slow, continuously decreasing in altitude, seemingly around one thousand meters high.

As the plane pulled up from its dive, many boxes were successively thrown out of the rear cargo door.

“There are a total of twenty-six boxes.

The supplies in the red boxes are secondary and can be abandoned; the contents of the white boxes are very important.”

After receiving the pilot’s hint, Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “Understood.”

The plane’s mission was complete, and as the Rebel Army on the ground hadn’t fired any missiles at it, the plane ascended after dropping the boxes and left the dangerous area at maximum speed.

Six parachutes unfurled in the air, and Gao Yang and the others watched the falling parachutes with tension.

When the parachutes were halfway down, Taylor couldn’t help but say, “Very good, looks like the parachutes won’t land outside!”

Airdropping is a technical job.

It might seem simple to drop things from the sky, but to accurately airdrop supplies into a small area is quite difficult.

The first parachute landed within the north wall of the prison.

The remaining boxes deviated slightly towards the south, down to the southern end of the prison.

Finally, all twenty-six boxes landed on the open ground within the prison, with none falling outside.

The airdrop was perfectly successful.

Gao Yang grabbed the radio microphone and said with a smile, “The airdrop was perfect, thank you very much, and have a safe journey.”

“You’re welcome.”

The pilot responded briefly to Gao Yang before quickly disappearing into the sky.

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Let’s go, let’s check out our supplies.”

When Gao Yang and his team descended from the roof, the prison guards had already rushed out ahead of them.

Dozens of people had reached the open ground, jubilantly carrying the boxes two at a time into the building.

The An-26’s capacity isn’t small, but the amount of cargo that can be guaranteed to land inside the prison in one drop was just that much.

To drop more, the plane would have to come back and make another run.

Therefore, Gao Yang did not ask the flight crew Polovich found to take a bigger risk but simply to bring enough supplies for one airdrop.

Most of the boxes were standard airdrop boxes with dimensions of 1200X800X720 mm, totaling twenty-four standard lines, meaning they could hold quite a lot.

There were also two special weapon boxes, specifically for airdropping weapons.

The boxes were all military green, but four of them had white reflective paint patterns, which were Gao Yang and his team’s own supplies, while the rest were marked with red reflective paint.

Saidev was also carrying boxes and when he saw Gao Yang, he put down a box, looking astonished yet overjoyed, and said to Gao Yang, “Why are there so many boxes?

Wasn’t it just supposed to be some medicine?”

Gao Yang said with a smile, “The boxes with the white markings are ours; the red-marked ones belong to everyone.

Since we’re doing an airdrop, of course we brought more supplies.”

Saidev, excited, asked, “We have a share?

Then, what’s inside them?”

Gao Yang waved his hand and laughed, “Food, mainly food!”

As he spoke, Gao Yang shook his head, and Cui Bo immediately opened a red box.

Inside were some medicines and then packets of bullets, each packed in small bundles.

After opening another box, it contained half a box of medicine and half a box of bullets.

Anxious to see more, Cui Bo opened the third box, which also contained medicines and bullets, but this box included a night vision device.

The fourth box was opened by Frey, containing some medicines and a foldable solar panel kit.

Then the two long red boxes containing spare rifles for the Satan Mercenary Corps members were opened, all 7.62mm caliber, packed with just four rifles per box in case they fell into enemy territory.

To prevent accidental drops or having supplies fall into enemy hands, the important items were packed separately.

Even if a part was lost, Gao Yang and his team would not be left without.

Thus, the most important medicines were spread out into four boxes.

Seeing the medicine and their own bullets taken out, Gao Yang felt much more at ease.

He turned to Saidev, who was still standing idly by, and smiled, “Go ahead and unpack the boxes, don’t be shy.

The rest should contain our daily necessities and some bullets.

Aside from these, everything else is for everyone.”

Saidev was already aware of Gao Yang’s identity and knew about Satan, or the Nightfiend Team’s uniqueness, as well as the fact that Gao Yang had arranged for the airdrop instead of waiting for the government forces.

Therefore, he was somewhat surprised to learn that their supplies were included in this airdrop.

Surprised but not shy, Saidev swung his hand and yelled loudly, “Unpack the boxes, unpack them!”

“What is this?

Salt?

It’s salt!

Fantastic!”

“And spices!”

“There’s even tea and sugar!”

“Meat!

Meat!

So much beef!”

After a month of being without salt, you come to understand how important it is.

After a whole year of not tasting fresh meat, not even canned meat, you would understand why everyone who heard this news burst into uncontrollable joy at the sight of four or five boxes stuffed with chunks of meat.
