Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1389 - 1371: This Plan is Slightly Risky

Chapter 1389: Chapter 1371: This Plan is Slightly Risky

After hanging up the call with Maide, Gao Yang remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Sigh, when it comes to fighting a war, in the end, we have to rely on ourselves."

Eileen immediately became excited. She turned around from the passenger seat and looked at Gao Yang with bright eyes, saying, "Going to war?"

Gao Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I plan to go to the front line myself. If we don’t take Berbera, we won’t even have a usable warehouse."

Eileen said excitedly, "Although Berbera is unreliable and doesn’t have a suitable warehouse, when do we start?"

Gao Yang sighed and said, "This is a big deal. We need to study it carefully. I have a rough idea now, but whether it can be implemented is still hard to say. Let’s discuss it when we get back. For now, let’s first go meet a few people introduced by Kucher to see if they have anything we urgently need. As for Selin, let him wait a bit longer. We’ll determine the time to move the planes after we figure things out. We might need to delay the flight time a little."

First, meet with Kucher, then with the three people Kucher introduced who plan to sell something to Gao Yang. Although they tried to save time, it was already evening by the time they met everyone they needed to see.

Satan’s usable transport capacity is limited. After deciding to focus first on transporting the ammo urgently needed by the Skull Gang, many more valuable pieces of equipment could only be postponed. So, Gao Yang didn’t engage in any new transactions, only meeting potential trading partners.

After everyone returned to their base, all members of Satan naturally gathered together to discuss their next steps in Somalia.

Gao Yang could run dozens or even hundreds of kilometers without getting tired, but meeting and negotiating with different people all day left him feeling a bit exhausted.

Gao Yang, rarely showing fatigue, sat on the sofa and said weakly, "Who can get me a cup of coffee? I’m exhausted and don’t want to move. Also, bring a world map."

Normally, Gao Yang would do everything himself and wouldn’t let his brothers serve him, but today, he was really too tired to move.

The members of Satan got visibly energized upon hearing there might be a war.

Frey said hurriedly, "Boss, I’ll make you a cup of coffee, a strong one. I’ll be right back."

"I have a map, I’ll get it!"

After Jansen ran off in a hurry, Eileen smiled cheekily and said, "Boss, here, let me give you a shoulder massage."

Cui Bo moved in front of Gao Yang and said fawningly, "Brother Yang, Eileen can massage your shoulders, I’ll massage your legs. Come on, put your legs up on the coffee table."

Gao Yang unceremoniously closed his eyes to rest. After a while, Jansen laid a map on the coffee table in front of Gao Yang and said softly, "Boss, the map."

"Hmm." Gao Yang responded with a light sound through his nose, then opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Leave it there."

Continuing to enjoy the massage from both of them, after a while, Frey said in the same fawning tone, "Boss, the coffee is ready, and it’s at the right temperature."

Gao Yang opened his eyes, waved Cui Bo aside, and took the coffee that Frey handed over respectfully. He sighed deeply and said helplessly, "You know, the moment war is mentioned, you all forget your dignity and become so enthusiastic. Sigh, it’s really, really... never mind..."

Sitting upright, Gao Yang took a sip of coffee and said in a deep voice, "I’ve talked with Jiang Yun. Compared to the people commanding battles for the Skull Gang, I trust Jiang Yun’s judgment more. His combat skills are enough for us to adopt his judgment, so we don’t need to personally scout the situation in Somalia. Let’s base our judgment on Jiang Yun’s conclusions."

The Satan Mercenary Corps is a very small mercenary group with not many members, but they have commanded battles on a large scale in Somalia and Syria, so although they are not truly mid to high-level commanders, they have the capability to command large-scale force operations and assess situations.

With Jiang Yun’s judgment results, Gao Yang and the others can proceed to study how to fight the next battle in Berbera based on this.

Glolov said in a deep voice, "If we go with Jiang Yun’s judgment, then the reason the Skull Gang couldn’t take Berbera several times, besides being at a manpower disadvantage and unable to quickly and comprehensively capture Berbera, is also because Berbera has always had a complete command system in place. If we are to participate personally, I think as long as we destroy Berbera’s command system in one strike, the city’s defense system will immediately collapse. Considering the combat strength of Berbera’s defenders, it doesn’t require many people to do this, just a special operations team. And this type of deep enemy territory decapitation operation is exactly what we are best at."

Glolov’s words made everyone nod, and Andy He laughed, "That’s right, cleanly destroying Berbera’s command system, the rest can be left to the Skull Gang, we know how their army fights, it’s too easy to make them collapse."

Gao Yang nodded and said solemnly, "Conduct a decapitation operation to take out Berbera’s command system, that’s for sure, but we need to grab time, and just taking out Berbera’s command system has too many uncertainties to achieve our desired results. We need to quickly occupy the airport and port, relying on the gradual advance of the Skull Gang’s army, we’re not sure how long it will take to reach the airport and port, three days, a week, half a month, all are possible. If we get into street fighting, the battle could be dragged out for a long time, which would cause very unfavorable conditions, giving Somaliland the chance to send reinforcements. So, I think if we are going to strike, then with the cooperation of the Skull Gang and the personnel who arrived beforehand, take down Berbera completely at one stroke! Completely take it down before everyone can react!"

Yake frowned and said, "That’s very difficult, extremely difficult!"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Yes, if only we go into battle, then it is indeed very difficult, because we are too few, we can only play a decisive role at critical points on the battlefield, but cannot play the same role on a wide battlefield, so my plan is to attack simultaneously at multiple points!"

Li Jinfang frowned and said, "How to do it?"

Gao Yang said solemnly, "We now have five planes available, and can fly at any time. We directly depart from Ukraine, with five transport planes full of elite assault forces, carrying out an airborne assault at key locations in Berbera! Occupy all the key departments of Berbera at the first moment!"

Everyone seemed very shocked, surprised by Gao Yang’s bold idea. After a moment, Eileen suddenly smiled and said, "Boss, did I ever say I really admire you?"

Glolov muttered to himself, "Too risky, flying from Ukraine to Somalia, then carrying out an airborne operation? That’s too risky!"

Gao Yang said solemnly, "It’s indeed very risky, but Berbera has no air defense capabilities, and they have no experience in defending against vertical strikes. Conducting an airborne operation at night, the risk can be fully borne."

Li Jinfang was still as calm as ever, but he couldn’t help saying, "Where do we get so many people? According to your vision, at least a few hundred troops are needed, and they all have to be skilled, truly skilled!"

Gao Yang remained calm and said, "Find them! Find them immediately, we may need a few days to find enough and suitable manpower, but I think this won’t be the biggest difficulty."

Cui Bo smiled and said, "This plan is very bold, very exciting, it’s slightly risky, but I really like it!"

Taylor said solemnly, "The key to any plan is whether it can be completed, not whether it’s liked or not. This plan indeed has a great possibility of being completed, but there are several difficulties that must be resolved before it can be realized. First, where to find personnel in a short time to complete this operational plan? Even if we temporarily ignore this difficulty, this plan also requires the cooperation of the Skull Gang that you mentioned to complete it. As for whether the Somali forces can launch an attack within the specified time, I think it’s very difficult, and if the Skull Gang fails to coordinate well with our attack, or they can’t break through Berbera’s defense line and rendezvous with us, the consequences would be disastrous for us."

Taylor has never had contact with the Skull Gang, so he has great doubts about whether the Skull Gang’s army has the minimum level of coordinated combat capability.

Without waiting for Gao Yang to answer, Glolov said solemnly, "The Skull Gang’s army, especially the elite forces serving as the main offensive for Berbera, was trained by us. Without making promises about anything else, launching the attack on time is no problem."

Taylor nodded and smiled, "Alright, since they were trained by you, you must be very familiar with the abilities of this army. Then we’ll ignore the second difficulty. I have one last question, if we are to fly planes from Ukraine to Berbera, how do we get there? First, the range of the An-32 is simply not enough, and we need to pass through multiple countries’ airspace along the way, how do we get through?"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "The third difficulty you mentioned is indeed our biggest problem at present, but I think since Selin and the others are selling planes, according to the rules, they should provide me with a route that allows us to leave."

Eileen frowned and said, "Boss, you seem to have never discussed the issue of the route with Selin."

Gao Yang touched his head and said with a bitter face, "It seems that’s indeed the case, in my excitement, I made a foolish mistake again, but why did none of you ever remind me?"

Eileen said embarrassingly, "Um, isn’t it because there’s you?"

Gao Yang said irritably, "Guys, for this part-time job as an arms dealer, just like you, I’m a new recruit who knows nothing. Please be mindful; please don’t treat me as an omniscient and omnipotent god. At least remind me when I overlook a common-sense issue!"

Eileen muttered, "If it was a battle, we definitely wouldn’t make this mistake."

Gao Yang waved helplessly and said, "I’ll ask Selin now, and hope he can give a safe route." (To be continued.
