Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1138 - 1138 One Thousand One Hundred Twenty-One Smoking

1138: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Twenty-One: Smoking 1138: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Twenty-One: Smoking Gao Yang sat on the ground, his mind a mess, not knowing if he was thinking about something or nothing at all.

He said not to misunderstand, but with Eileen behaving like this, how could it not be misunderstood.

Gao Yang had always treated Eileen as a friend, as a brother, but suddenly she acted so neurotically, making future meetings awkward for everyone.

Shocked for a while, confused for a while, then Gao Yang began analyzing Eileen’s behavior.

Eileen must have lost her mind momentarily, and this woman just wanted to show off her tattoo, really just that, her way of thinking isn’t like a normal person’s, her brain got overexcited and she let him see her tattoo, there’s nothing more to overinterpret, it must be that way, it must.

After a long time, Gao Yang finally came up with an answer to Eileen’s behavior, right or wrong, that’s what he believed.

Believing he had figured it out, Gao Yang stood up, brushed off the dirt from his buttocks, and muttered to himself, “A bunch of troublesome bastards.”

Carrying the rifle, head down, he walked alone in the prison, walking until Gao Yang felt annoyed.

Gao Yang suddenly realized that prisons are indeed a depressing place, even though he wasn’t in a cell, but surrounded by high walls and wire fences, inescapable, surrounded by armed guards, and everyday living in fear of an attack by the Rebel Army, it felt like being imprisoned.

Feeling irritable, Gao Yang thought about going up the watchtower on the wall to fire a couple of shots and also to look into the distance; a wider view might make him feel less suppressed.

Casually walking up a watchtower, the two guards on duty quickly saluted him, and Gao Yang hastily waved his hand, “Don’t salute, haven’t I told you?

In places where the enemy might see, never salute me.

I don’t want to be a sniper’s target.”

Half joking, half serious after speaking, the two sentinels both chuckled, then one of them passed a pair of binoculars forward, smiling, “General, would you like to take a look?”

Gao Yang nodded, took the binoculars, and casually asked, “Nothing unusual from the enemy?”

“Nothing, they haven’t done anything, just like before.”

Gao Yang nodded, then started looking towards the village occupied by the Rebel Army through the binoculars, but after a while, he said doubtfully, “There’s smoke in the village, blue smoke from a diesel engine, was it there before?”

A sentinel, puzzled, replied, “No, it wasn’t.”

Gao Yang thought about it, put down the binoculars then raised them again to look towards the village, and suddenly said, “No doubt, it’s the blue smoke from a diesel engine.”

Normally, there wouldn’t be diesel engines running in the village, and the visible smoke from a distance definitely wasn’t produced by one or two engines.

Putting down the binoculars again, Gao Yang told a soldier beside him, “Go notify Major Sedov, ask him to come here.”

After instructing the soldier, Gao Yang felt it was still not secure enough, so he immediately said, “Notify Major Sedov, tell him the enemy has deployed tanks and armored vehicles, ask him to come over quickly to check.”

After speaking, he waved for the soldier to hurry, then Gao Yang picked up the radio, and spoke gravely into it, “Everyone, prepare for combat, the enemy is moving, they might attack soon, quickly take your positions, I’m at watchtower four.”

After Gao Yang finished speaking on the radio, the crowd in the building watching movies uproared, those without injuries who needed to go out to fight quickly grabbed their weapons and combat kits and ran out, bending their backs and sticking out their backsides, creating quite a spectacle.

Frey, carrying a rocket launcher with another on his back, his combat position on the wall, after seeing Gao Yang’s location, quickly ran to his side and said indignantly, “Boss, what’s going on, are those bastards attacking?”

Frey seemed very angry, Gao Yang found it unusual, but seeing that everyone coming out was similarly angry and swearing at the Rebel Army that interrupted their movie, Gao Yang immediately realized that these people were upset about their disrupted pleasant movie time, no wonder they were pissed.

Gao Yang pointed towards the smoking area, and said gravely, “There’s some smoke there, smoke from a diesel engine, now it’s faded and can’t be seen, but I suspect the enemy is mobilizing tanks and armored vehicles en masse, if that’s the case, it means they are about to attack.”

After explaining for a moment, Gao Yang said into the radio, “Big Bird, deploy the drone, let’s see exactly what the enemy is doing.”

“Understood, Boss.”

At this moment, Major Sedov also hurried over, coming up to the watchtower, he urgently asked Gao Yang, “General, what’s happening?”

Gao Yang pointed to the spot where the smoke had been, speaking gravely, “The enemy has mobilized armored vehicles collectively, I’m worried they are preparing to attack.”

Major Sedov immediately said, “I’ll have everyone man their positions right away.”

Gao Yang shook his head, saying, “Don’t rush, let’s scout first to confirm the enemy’s intentions.”

While Gao Yang was speaking, Jansen said through the walkie-talkie: “Boss, the drone has been launched.”

Gao Yang checked his watch and said to Saidev: “Let’s see what they are up to before deciding what to do.”

Two minutes later, Jansen immediately shouted through the walkie-talkie: “Boss, the enemy is about to attack, they have already assembled in the village with two T72 tanks, three BMP-2 armored vehicles, and four modified trucks!

There are a large number of people, all gathered in the open space of the village.

It seems they are holding a briefing.

Around one thousand people!”

“Understood, keep monitoring.”

After speaking, Gao Yang waved his hand to Saidev and said: “Major, the enemy is about to launch an attack, two T-72 tanks, three BMP-2 armored vehicles, and four trucks, with an estimated force of around one thousand people.”

Saidev’s face turned pale as he said, “I’ll get everyone ready for combat, this is a decisive battle for the enemy.”

As Saidev, whose face had turned pale, was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and urgently said to Gao Yang: “The Rebel Army has never used tanks before, our people lack experience dealing with tanks, General.”

Gao Yang took a deep breath, nodded, and said, “I understand, we know what to do.”

Watching Saidev leave, directing his soldiers to various positions, Gao Yang turned to Frey and asked, “What do you think, are you confident?”

Frey smiled and said, “No problem,”

When the Rebel Army attacked Kendy Hospital using tanks, Saidev urgently requested more effective anti-tank weapons than the RPG-7 rocket launcher, and the Air Force airdropped RPG-27s to them.

The RPG-27, like the RPG-26 commonly used by Gao Yang’s team, is a single-use rocket launcher, discarded after firing.

However, the RPG-27 is much larger than the 26, with a caliber of 105 millimeters and a significantly longer launcher.

It can penetrate up to 650 millimeters of armor.

Targeting the sides and rear of a T-72 should be feasible.

After assessing the situation, Gao Yang pointed to a watchtower and said: “That tower faces the west gate, if tanks are coming, they’ll head straight to the west gate.

Can you position yourself there?”

Frey looked and nodded, saying: “Okay, get me a few assistant shooters, let them follow me.”

Gao Yang shouted: “All anti-tank teams follow him, you are in command.”

Gao Yang did not want control over the prison’s command, but since the prison’s guards lacked experience in tank combat, the task was assigned to Satan, and Frey had always been responsible for dealing with armored vehicles.

The anti-tank team consisted of ten people with twenty RPG-27 rocket launchers, plus a large number of RPG-7s.

Although the RPG-7’s armor-piercing capability was inferior to that of the RPG-27, the RPG-27 would still bear the brunt.

Frey hurriedly ran down from the wall, shouting: “Anti-tank team, follow my command now.

Listen everyone, hitting tanks is not difficult, just do as we trained.

Hariri, you take one group to that watchtower, I’ll take another group to this one.

Just hit its side as the tank comes, got it?”

“Understood!”

“Remember, do not fire until within the effective range of the rocket launcher, understood?

Move out!”

Handling tank engagements was Frey’s job.

Gao Yang couldn’t do better than Frey, so he didn’t interfere with what Frey was doing; instead, he returned the binoculars to the Sentinels and hurried back to the rooftop.

The prison’s building and cells were originally designed to serve as a fortress.

Although the walls were an initial defensive line, they mainly served to monitor and restrain the enemy.

The real firepower was positioned in the taller buildings and on the rooftops.

As long as the building could continuously deliver firepower, the enemy would not be able to reach the perimeter wall, so the number of people on the wall was not crucial.

However, due to the limited range of rocket launchers, anti-tank firepower had to be positioned as forward as possible.

Rushing back to the building, Gao Yang found Jansen in the top floor room and immediately asked: “Can you determine the armor thickness of the enemy’s modified vehicles?”

After adjusting the lens and observing for a while, Jansen spoke gravely: “The caliber of the tank cannon is 125 millimeters.

If we use the tank cannon as a reference, the armor thickness is about twenty millimeters.”

Gao Yang agreed, judging that the iron plates covering the vehicles were about twenty millimeters thick as he observed.

After a moment, he relaxed his furrowed brow and said, “The armor isn’t very thick, good, heavy machine guns can penetrate it.”

After finishing, Gao Yang said through the walkie-talkie: “Big Dog, Rabbit, use armor-piercing incendiary rounds, you are in charge of hitting the trucks.

The estimated armor thickness of the enemy’s modified trucks is only twenty millimeters, easy to penetrate!”

“Big Dog understands, using armor-piercing incendiary rounds.”

“Rabbit understands.”

Just then, Jansen whispered: “Boss, they are moving out.”

Gao Yang glanced at the monitor, seeing the direction of the enemy tanks, and immediately said: “Everyone, be alert, the enemy is taking Route Two, they will approach the west gate from the north.

Little Fly, you better change your combat position, also, notify those around you, be ready for combat, over.”
