Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1152 - 1152 One Thousand One Hundred Thirty-Five Pick the Strong Ones to Fight

1152: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Thirty-Five: Pick the Strong Ones to Fight 1152: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred Thirty-Five: Pick the Strong Ones to Fight Walls can stop bullets from a machine gun, but not from a 23mm autocannon.

So when there’s ceaseless fire suppression from the enemy, and a barrage of shells might come through at any moment, Gao Yang dares not remain behind the window, but instead takes cover behind a massive load-bearing column.

The column is around four or five meters away from the window.

Gao Yang points his gun upward, standing behind the column without peeking outside, waiting silently.

“Go!”

Upon hearing Li Jinfang’s command, Gao Yang turns and dashes out from behind the column, running to the window.

He raises his gun, quickly aims at an anti-aircraft gunner and pulls the trigger.

Bullets take time to travel, and Gao Yang doesn’t even check if he hit the shooter; he rapidly swings his gun to aim at another gunner not too far away, and pulls the trigger again.

Shooting standing targets about one thousand meters away proved too difficult, so Gao Yang opts for a more reliable method, although it requires moving a couple of steps to brace the rifle, but it increased his hit rate.

Gao Yang wanted to target a third, but after Li Jinfang yelled for a retreat, Gao Yang immediately lowered his gun, bent over, and quickly ran back behind the pillar.

Neither bullets nor shells hit the room; the enemy didn’t fire towards Gao Yang’s position.

“Both shots hit, the enemy is changing shooters.”

Li Jinfang was observing through a periscope, first reported Gao Yang’s battle results, then urgently commanded again: “Go!”

Gao Yang ran over once more, propped up his gun, quickly located the position he had mentally noted, and shot at an anti-aircraft gunner who was firing.

The gun barrel moved again, finding a new target, Gao Yang fired another shot.

This time, they did not hear a warning from Li Jinfang, so Gao Yang did not rush back but aimed again and fired.

There were six twin-barreled anti-aircraft guns, and Gao Yang had already fired at five of them.

He quickly aimed at the sixth.

After this shot, Gao Yang had time to check the result; seeing the enemy fall as he anticipated, Gao shifted his gaze, turning back to review the impact of his previous shots.

The fourth anti-aircraft gunner was not killed, but it wasn’t a big issue, Gao Yang fired again to correct his mistake.

The anti-aircraft gunners had mostly been replaced; even though the guns could continue to fire, their impact on Gao Yang significantly reduced.

Despite being gunners, their skill levels clearly varied.

Now, it was almost certain that whether it be anti-aircraft gunners, machine gunners, or tank operators, they were all from the Caucasus Camp.

Caucasus is a geographical name; the South Caucasus includes Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the North Caucasus is within Russia, consisting of Chechnya, Ossetia, North Ossetia, Dagestan, which belong to the North Caucasus.

The members of the Rebel Army’s Caucasus Camp are from the Caucasus region, primarily from Chechnya.

Knowing what Russia’s situation in Chechnya was like, one can understand the fighting capabilities of the Caucasus Camp.

The capability of the Caucasus Camp, being foremost among the Rebel Army, indeed brought great pressure to Gao Yang and his comrades.

The Rebel Army’s attack turned particularly fierce this time, simply because the Caucasus Camp had finally joined the fight directly and in full force.

The anti-aircraft gunners killed by Gao Yang were from the Caucasus Camp, but the replacements were those original members of the Rebel Army; those who knew how to fire the artillery but couldn’t control where the shells landed.

Initially, as the anti-aircraft guns were out of range, Gao Yang couldn’t do anything, but once the gunners came within range, he naturally didn’t hesitate, swiftly taking out the most threatening anti-aircraft guns.

The primary blockading force of the Rebel Army against him was eliminated, and replacing them with new gunners made no difference, similar to the difference between the same gun in his and Saidev’s hands.

After dealing with the anti-aircraft guns, Gao Yang was to target the anti-aircraft machine guns next.

Gao Yang fired repeatedly, regarding the bulldozers, tanks, armored vehicles, and such steadily nearing the prison, he could only pretend not to see them.

Execute what he could manage, and not dwell on what was beyond his control.

“Come back!”

After Gao Yang shot two anti-aircraft machine gunners, his position got compromised.

Hearing Li Jinfang’s loud shout, Gao Yang immediately withdrew swiftly.

Machine gun bullets flew into the room, crackling non-stop, though the enemy’s machine gun volley didn’t last long before it suddenly stopped.

“Rabbit took down the machine gunner.

Should we change our firing position?”

Every firing position was occupied; although their position was exposed, after thinking, Gao Yang said in a firm voice: “No change.”

Just as Gao Yang was speaking, Glolov and Cui Bo’s guns fired again.

After a short pause, Jinfang said in a deep voice: “The main threat has been eliminated.”

Gao Yang, holding his gun, turned around and went back to the firing position, but at that moment, Jansen urgently said: “Boss, the drone’s battery needs to be replaced, I must retrieve the drone.”

Gao Yang immediately responded: “Understood, move as quickly as possible!”

After ending the conversation, Gao Yang fired a shot and shot down a machine gunner from a pickup truck.

In just a few minutes, the previously boastful suppressive fire from the Rebel Army had been thoroughly countershot, and of course, it wasn’t just Gao Yang; Glolov and Cui Bo also contributed.

The soldiers of the Caucasus Camp and most of the soldiers of the Rebel Army were different, although most also had beards and wore robes.

However, they had a distinctive feature: many wore the standard Russian military combat vests.

Thus, seeing someone dressed in robes but also wearing a Russian camouflage combat vest essentially meant they were from the Caucasus Camp.

Using combat vests to identify the enemy’s identity was not foolproof, but it was generally accurate enough.

Gao Yang fired a round targeting those wearing combat vests, but even after that, the enemy’s firepower did not decrease, yet their accuracy dropped more than a notch.

Initially, they could be suppressed because as soon as a threatening position was discovered, the enemy’s artillery and bullets could sweep over accurately.

However, after shooting down the soldiers of the Caucasus Camp, the replacing shooters, aiming at the window where Gao was, were lucky even if they could hit the building.

The direct fire threat from the Rebel Army was mostly eliminated, but Gao Yang could only fire one more round because there was nothing else he could do.

The armored vehicles had begun to advance along with bulldozers, including two tanks, and by now, the tanks were less than 200 meters from the west gate.

Frey had already led the anti-tank team into the building where Gao Yang was and was selecting suitable positions on various floors.

Gao Yang did not intend to interfere with Frey’s choice, but watching the tanks getting closer, he found it tough to resist the urge to ask Frey.

Finally, Frey fired, waiting to place the tank within the direct fire range of the RPG-27 to ensure maximum accuracy before shooting.

Continuous rocket fire went out, and the front bulldozers blasted into flames, with Frey prioritizing the tanks as his targets.

The bulldozers were almost instantly destroyed, but the two tanks were slightly more challenging—not that they couldn’t be destroyed, but because each bulldozer or tank needed too many rockets to be taken down, which frightened Gao Yang.

The rocket operation faced significant constraints when firing indoors—the space had to be open enough; otherwise, the blast wave would severely burn the Gunner.

Moreover, using rockets against tanks was difficult due to the need for precise angles, so the continuous firing of six rockets still left one tank advancing.

If a single rocket could ensure the destruction of a tank, then tanks would have been retired from service long ago and would not have earned the title “King of Land Warfare.”

Gao Yang saw clearly that the tank that wasn’t destroyed had been hit by a rocket, but it was minor because the tank was fitted with reactive armor.

Gao Yang finally couldn’t help but say: “Little Fly, save some Rocket Launchers no matter what, there’s still a big fellow that hasn’t arrived yet!”

“Understood!”

Frey responded to Gao Yang and then fell silent.

As the bulldozers clearing the path were all blown up, the Rocket Launchers used up were frankly not few.

Although there were quite a few RPG-7 launchers and rockets in prison, “quite a few” is relative, after all, not like those guarded by logistics troops, where you could fire endlessly.

Gao Yang dared not forget about that huge truck, that big fellow, which posed the greatest threat.

Gao Yang would rather let tanks and armored vehicles mover closer to fight than to let that truck filled with Fake Medicine get close.

The tank stopped less than fifty meters away from the entrance of the west gate and did not move forward again.

At this moment, another rocket flew out of the building, striking the tank’s roof accurately.

Gao Yang did not know where the Rebel Army’s T-72 tank came from, but most likely, it was captured from the government forces.

Although some of Syria’s T-72s were also equipped with reactive armor, this did not stop the T-72’s reputation from being utterly ruined in Syria.

Whether in the hands of the government forces or the Rebel Army, the T-72 tanks had never performed as expected.

There’s no reactive armor on top of the turret.

Frey personally fired a Rocket Launcher, hitting the roof of the tank turret accurately, then the T-72 quickly began to burn from the inside, eventually causing an ammunition cook-off explosion that blew up the turret.

There were a few more armored vehicles, but at this time, the armored vehicles were rapidly retreating, and the trails of rockets were still flying towards the retreating armored vehicles.

Gao Yang urgently said over the walkie-talkie: “Conserve ammunition, save the Rocket Launchers!”

RPG7 is quite common, as common as ak47s, but just as ak47s were never known for accuracy, RPGs are also hard to fire accurately.

Saidev was also shouting, and when those soldiers with red eyes finally stopped firing, two of the five armored vehicles returned.

At this moment, Frey shouted into the walkie-talkie: “The Rocket Launchers are being used up too quickly; we only have one RPG-27 left, Boss, get someone to send us some more!” (To be continued.
