Chapter 1321: Chapter 1326: Don’t Speak If You Don’t Understand

Satan is already legendary, but before Satan, everyone had to admit that the strongest mercenary group was the Angel Mercenary Corps.

There’s no second place in warfare, but if everyone acknowledges you as number one, that’s truly powerful, truly formidable. The Angel Mercenary Corps didn’t have many people, but they held the title of the top small mercenary group for many years, and no one questioned it.

Then came Aurora; compared to Angel, Aurora was the true legend.

The Aurora Mercenary Corps hadn’t appeared for many years. Its most legendary aspect was never having suffered a defeat nor a single casualty. Although the rumors aren’t very credible, the saying that Aurora never retreats and thus Angel can only be considered second is widely acknowledged.

Which means that no matter how powerful Angel is, in front of the Aurora Mercenary Corps, they have to bow obediently.

Yang Yi gulped hard; he really didn’t know that Gong Yang had such good connections.

After pondering for a moment, he whispered, "Since we already know the location, why don’t we let the first team to arrive immediately start the rescue?"

Grevatov glanced at Yang Yi, then whispered, "You don’t understand warfare, do you?"

Yang Yi was taken aback, then nodded, "Indeed, direct battlefield isn’t my strength."

Grevatov said seriously, "Our rescue troops all have aircraft, everyone has their own means, be it transport planes or helicopters, the only way to enter the battlefield is by airdrop; whether by parachuting or airborne, it’s airdrop only."

"This I understand."

"They are all light infantry, even though they’re special forces, indeed, they’re still light infantry. Given Mosul’s terrain conditions, once they enter, they must fight in street battles, and street battles give a significant advantage to the defending side."

"Um, but..."

Grevatov shook his head, saying, "If someone parachutes in first for the rescue, they can bolster Satan’s defense, but the wounded can’t be evacuated. To evacuate the wounded, helicopters must be used."

"Oh, I get it. If they enter successively, the helicopters will face severe threats."

There was some worry in Grevatov’s eyes; he nodded, "ISIS has anti-air missiles and plenty of them. We must not only consider how to get in but also how to evacuate with the personnel. Therefore, a sudden assault is extremely necessary, concentrating all forces to thoroughly confuse the enemy in a short time, preventing them from organizing any effective defense and counterattack. Otherwise, imagine if even one helicopter is hit by an anti-air missile, what would be the consequences?"

Yang Yi shrugged, saying, "Alright, I understand."

Grevatov checked his watch, then said gravely, "Flying from here to Mosul takes a little over an hour. I don’t know if we can make it, we can only pray that Satan can hold out for an hour longer."

No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until you arrive before doing anything.

Grevatov sighed, "Satan has many wounded; if there were none, things would be simpler. But the problem is there are wounded. Well, let’s not talk about this. Everyone get ready; once we reach Mosul, proceed with the fastest rescue."

At this moment, Rotzstoski holding a headset said, "Contact with all parties has been established. The communication is not very stable; we need to agree on a time to initiate the attack."

Once over Mosul, communication will inevitably be disrupted, because the electronic jamming systems in ISIS’s hands are significant. Therefore, it’s crucial to coordinate attack details before communications are affected, to avoid being defeated individually when entering the battlefield.

After all, we’re entering a city occupied by tens of thousands of troops, and using air transport to evacuate the wounded is truly not simple.

Even the mighty United States staged a Black Hawk Down when attacking a backward, weak Somalia.

But agreeing on the attack initiation time can’t be done casually. Grevatov shouted, "Confirm the flight route with the pilots, give me an exact arrival time."

Yang Yi immediately said, "I’ll do it."

There is generally a pre-planned route for flights; the weather and related conditions on this route are written in the flight plan. This time it’s an emergency takeoff, and such preparation work wasn’t done, but based on a straight-line minimum distance and the maximum speed this aircraft can reach, the arrival time can still be calculated.

As for whether calculating this time is difficult, it depends on who’s doing it.

Yang Yi entered the cockpit, got the most needed data, and without relying on paper and pen or a computer, he quickly said within tens of seconds, "We need one hour and nine minutes, fastest speed, not considering evasive flight maneuvers before the attack, now it’s one hour and eight minutes."

Grevatov looked at Yang Yi with surprise, then asked gravely, "Precise?"

"Absolutely precise!"

Grevatov picked up the radio microphone and said solemnly, "All rescue troops, take note. Starting now, in one hour and ten minutes, we’ll start the artillery preparation work; I require all troops capable of entering to act in one hour and fifteen minutes. Any questions?"

Yang Yi didn’t wear the headset, couldn’t hear the radio conversation, and although Grevatov informed him about who was involved in the rescue, he still didn’t let Yang Yi participate directly in the communication.

After a short pause, Grevatov said gravely, "Alright, two minutes after the artillery preparation starts, all units enter the Rajaweed Mosque, let’s agree on that."

Grevatov put down the microphone, Yang Yi raised his hand slightly, then whispered, "Are you sure about entering the Rajaweed Mosque in two minutes, and not starting the parachuting or airborne drop? Doesn’t this timing... I may not have fought in wars, but isn’t this timing too short?"

Grevatov sighed, "This is the advantage of having top-notch experts conducting the rescue."

Looking at Yang Yi, Grevatov smiled slightly, then said gravely, "I’ve extended this time to five minutes, but they feel it’s unnecessary. Considering the quality of the rescue personnel, I believe two minutes is sufficient."

"But is two minutes enough for our artillery preparation to sufficiently cover the area? When the rescue personnel start parachuting yet there are many enemies around the Rajaweed Mosque, plus possible collateral damage, um, many could die..."

Grevatov nodded, then said seriously, "There is substantial risk, but that’s the value of our existence. As one of the world’s most combat-capable individuals, trust me, there will be no problems."

After finishing his words, Grevatov sighed, then said gravely, "You are the best spy I’ve encountered, but this battlefield isn’t yours. If Brian were here, he wouldn’t have asked these questions."
