Chapter 1397: Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Nine Intuition and Judgment

What do we do when war breaks out? Besides preparing and fighting, what else can be done?

Only this time, the battle Satan faces is unlike any previous ones. This time, the opponent is in the shadows, and they are exposed.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." This is the golden advice left by the ancestors, the holy book of military strategists. Before every operation, Gao Yang always tries to gather all the intelligence on the enemy, striving to know as much as possible.

But this time is different. This battle was sudden, and Gao Yang doesn’t even know who the enemy is, nor where they hide, or how strong they are.

In terms of intelligence alone, Satan is in an unfavorable position. Gao Yang ignored Andre and urgently said to Eileen and Li Jinfang, "Inform Shadow, we are at war, get him moving and into combat mode."

Eileen immediately saluted and shouted, "Yes, sir!"

When Eileen first joined Satan, she always addressed Gao Yang as "sir" and strictly adhered to military etiquette. But after spending more time together, Eileen gradually became less formal. However, during combat, her etiquette was impeccable.

As Eileen turned to get back in the car to contact Yake, Gao Yang covered his ear and urgently said, "Support personnel, drive the cars in, pick up the infiltrators, and meet at the first assembly point. We are heading to Kiev Municipal Sixth Hospital. All personnel, prepare for battle; we might need to engage immediately."

After speaking on the radio, Gao Yang solemnly said to Li Jinfang, "Get my gear out from the support vehicle and put it in our car; it’ll be useful."

Li Jinfang nodded, but then he immediately asked, "Assault gear or precision shooting gear?"

Gao Yang said gravely, "All of it!"

Li Jinfang shouted, "Understood, Villain! Drive to the gate and deliver the Boss’s equipment."

Gao Yang took a breath and solemnly said to Andre, "Buddy, I’m in a hurry to fight. We’ll chat later. For now, could you help me get the soldiers guarding the gate to open it and let our car in?"

Andre suddenly smiled at Gao Yang, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile, "So, we’re getting started?"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Yes, we’re getting started. Since we’re going to fight, don’t delay."

Andre shrugged and shouted, "Let’s go. We’ll go together. I guess the people who declared war on you are the same ones who declared war on me. If our enemies are the same, then we’ll fight them together. There’s nothing more to say. I need to go with you and check the situation."

Gao Yang considered briefly and then said, "Alright, but you need to be quick."

Andre put his hand in his mouth, blew a whistle forcefully, and his men, who had just entered the office building, came running out.

There were five of them in total, all looking sharp and capable. Andre snapped his fingers and pointing at Gao Yang, shouted, "He’s our friend, we’re now on the same line. Someone just attacked his people, likely the same ones who attacked us. We’ll go check the situation, and if they’re the same, we’ll kill them."

After saying that, Andre waved his hand and shouted, "Get the car, Kiev Municipal Sixth Hospital."

As the five quickly ran out, Andre asked Gao Yang, "Want to ride in my car? There’s something I want to discuss with you."

Andre’s car was fast, already parked in front of the office building. Gao Yang’s car still had Eileen and Li Jinfang, adding Andre wouldn’t be suitable, so Gao Yang didn’t waste words and directly said, "I’ll ride with Andre. We’ll meet at the assembly point, and once everyone’s there, we’ll head out."

Andre made a gesture of invitation, and together with Gao Yang, sat in a BMW M6 with an inconspicuous exterior.

Besides the driver, only Gao Yang and Andre were in the car. To Gao Yang’s surprise, just as he sat down, his right leg still outside, with the car door yet to close, the driver started the car. Gao Yang quickly pulled his leg in and shut the door as the car roared and sped off.

From the office building to the gate was just over three hundred meters, and within this short distance, the car’s speed soared to at least one hundred fifty kilometers per hour, then had to immediately slow down to avoid crashing into the gate.

As the car decelerated through the gate, Andre shouted, "We can slow down a bit; we still have to wait for people. Speeding won’t help."

After finishing his sentence, Andre put down the car window and shouted to the soldiers at the entrance, "Let them in if there are any cars coming."

Once the car passed the gate and started driving at a regular speed, Gao Yang saw two cars speeding towards the ammunition depot. Andre pointed at those cars and said firmly, "Your cars, right? Where do we wait?"

Gao Yang pointed ahead and said in a deep voice, "Just ahead, we’ll be there soon. Another car isn’t here, so it’s better for us to wait at the rendezvous point."

The car continued moving forward, and then an off-road vehicle suddenly rushed out of the woods by the roadside. Upon seeing the off-road vehicle, Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "We’ve reached the rendezvous point; it’s where the off-road vehicle is parked."

Gao Yang glanced backward and noticed a missing vehicle from the convoy behind them. He said in a deep voice, "Wait a little, my sniper is hiding deep, but he should be out soon. Oh, he’s out; everyone’s here, we can move out."

Andre immediately urged, "Hurry up, start driving, why are you dawdling?"

Andre had just instructed the driver to drive, but immediately complained that the driver was going too slow. In reality, the car suddenly shot forward, pinning Gao Yang heavily against the seat.

Feeling the strong rear push, Gao Yang understood why Andre’s driver liked to drive aggressively.

Gao Yang’s right eyelid twitched intensely again. He rubbed his right eye hard and signaled, saying in a deep voice, "Slow down, drive slower, I don’t want to crash."

Andre laughed, "Are you kidding? My car won’t crash. Listen, Ram, the situation I’m facing is troublesome; I need a large sum of money for activities. That batch is very important to me, and a big portion of it isn’t mine. I have to get it back. So, I’m sorry, but I need that batch returned. I know your connection with Grand Ivan. Don’t worry, I can reimburse you elsewhere, but I really need part of the batch quickly turned into cash, otherwise, I can’t explain myself."

Gao Yang looked conflicted and said, "Those missiles, right? Those missiles have been shipped away; I can’t give them to you immediately. But if you need money urgently, I can give you cash; I have quite a bit of cash."

Andre frowned, "Not missiles, just some missiles, you can have them. I’m talking about what you took with the missiles, another batch, I’m talking about those helicopters, buddy, don’t play dumb, okay? To maintain our friendship, I wasn’t explicit earlier, but now it’s just us, I hope you can be honest."

Gao Yang raised his hand, shaking his index finger, and said in a deep voice, "No, there’s a problem here. As I said, I only bought some missiles, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank missiles, projectile anti-tank missiles, plus some rocket launchers. Beyond that, just five An-32s, nothing else. I only did two deals here, I didn’t buy any helicopters!"

Andre furrowed his brow and said in a serious tone, "This doesn’t add up. There’s a problem here, but Rebrov said he sold the goods to you."

Gao Yang resolutely said, "He’s lying."

Andre looked at Gao Yang with a puzzled gaze and said slowly, "I don’t think Rebrov would dare to lie, and you don’t seem to need to lie either, so where’s the issue? Unless Rebrov has betrayed me..."

Gao Yang struggled to suppress the disbelief inside him and then rubbed his eyes hard, expressing his impatience, "Crap, is getting betrayed so uncommon? If Rebrov has a problem, your situation is very dangerous. Think about it, if it wasn’t for us knowing each other today, you’d be dead with no evidence to expose Rebrov. Ahead is a bridge, F**k, I feel uneasy inside. Something feels wrong; if Rebrov has betrayed you, there will definitely be follow-up action. Ahead is a bridge, which is very suitable for an ambush, just a bomb, or a couple of rocket launchers, or two heavy machine guns, F**k! Enemy attack! Turn around, head back!"

Besides an old iron bridge, Gao Yang actually didn’t see anything, but he shouted everything without hesitation.

Gao Yang trusted his intuition, which had saved his life several times. Moreover, Gao Yang trusted his judgment, especially after seeing that bridge, which was particularly suitable for an ambush—intuition combined with judgment—Gao Yang shouted without hesitation. To ensure others would follow his decision immediately, he spoke with certainty instead of doubt.

Rather than let the convoy stop and turn around only to find it was a false alarm and face embarrassment, Gao Yang refused to sit in Andre’s car and cross that bridge. He had painstakingly cultivated his sense of danger through countless battles, and of course, he needed to leverage this precious opportunity rather than ignore it.

Upon hearing Gao Yang’s shout, the driver slammed on the brakes. Without waiting for the car to stop, he swung the car around on the road, turning the front towards the rear.

Meanwhile, Gao Yang was still shouting.

"There’s an ambush ahead, everyone retreat, prepare for battle."

The whole convoy was rapidly braking and turning around on the road, with the sharp sound of brakes echoing through the sky. Andre’s two vehicles hadn’t received the notice but seeing all cars braking and changing direction urgently, they naturally understood what was happening. They began slowing down and turning late.

The car had already regained speed after turning around, and Gao Yang turned to look out the window at the iron bridge behind. Then, he shouted again, "RPG!"
