Chapter 312: Chapter 305: A Mob

Uttering the most vulgar phrases to mask his most fragile heart, Cao Zhenjiang got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, and said, "It’s okay now."

Gao Yuan was certainly clueless, mainly because he wasn’t truly a soldier, so even if he had just heard the conversation between Cao Zhenjiang and Panxin, he still wouldn’t understand whether Cao Zhenjiang’s discomfort was in his heart or his stomach.

Just at that moment, as his soldiers were boarding the armored vehicle, Andrew said spiritedly, "This time I’m going to get those sons of bitches..."

Andrew didn’t finish, as he suddenly shouted, "Hurry up! Faster, is the mortar ready? Let those rats in the hills know what a mortar is!"

Li Yang and Li Jingang were fiddling with a drone, while Harry Kane listened intently to Li Yang’s explanation.

As the drones they were carrying didn’t have a single English word on either the operating interface or the instructions on the body, it was necessary to explain and teach Harry Kane how to use them.

Harry Kane took out a small notebook and seriously noted down Li Yang’s words, while Cahill did the same.

Cahill and Harry Kane seemed extremely happy, while the two Americans nearby didn’t seem to share their joy.

"If you need to adjust the camera zoom, you just need to turn this knob, understand?"

Harry Kane nodded repeatedly and said, "I got it. So, if the drone gets jammed, what’s the procedure to order it to return autonomously?"

"The emergency button, this one."

Actually, operating a drone wasn’t that difficult, and Harry Kane was already very familiar with it; he only needed to understand the text instructions, which were completely foreign to him.

After practicing a few simulated operations, Harry Kane said to Li Jingang, "I can do a test flight now, no problem."

Li Jingang looked at Cahill, who said deeply, "Agreed on the test flight, but be careful."

Harry Kane activated the drone with the remote control, and its four rotor blades began to spin. Then Harry Kane murmured to himself, "Good, establishing the signal transmission... very good."

The drone lifted off the ground. Harry Kane maneuvered the control stick and said, "Hover a hundred meters above the ground, then rotate the camera, start... Sir!"

Cahill asked, "What is it?"

Harry Kane pointed at the screen receiving the drone’s surveillance feed and said, "Sir, Whitebeard!"

A device with an antenna that looked like a military-grade laptop was the control and signal reception station. The station was quite compact, about the size of a twelve-inch laptop, only much thicker.

"No, there isn’t."

"Yes, there must be!"

Harry Kane pointed at a corner of the screen and said, "There was movement there just now. I want to fly over to check, I suspect that Whitebeard is hiding there with his people."

Andrew, who had been energetically coordinating the infantry’s assembly and movements, walked over and said, "You found Whitebeard’s trail just during a test flight?"

Harry Kane replied, "Sir, I suspect, no, I am certain it is."

Andrew looked at Cahill and said, "Let him check it out."

Without much hesitation, Cahill nodded and solemnly said, "Go check, but be cautious."

Li Jingang and Li Yang exchanged glances, then Li Jingang asked, "Do you need me to take over?"

Harry confidently said, "No, I can manage it just fine, climbing to a higher altitude, medium speed flight..."

The drone had been hovering above the base, and the situation on the ground, which was invisible from the surface, was now clearly visible from this altitude.

The drone flew out.

If the exact location of the enemy was unknown, using a drone for reconnaissance would require increasing the altitude, then comprehensively monitoring the entire ground area, but this consequence was inevitably not as direct as flying directly above the enemy’s heads for a closer look.

The drone flew not very fast, but it could still rapidly and accurately capture the movements of a small group of enemies.

After a long time, Kandahar Air Base finally had aerial reconnaissance capabilities again, even if it was just a small drone, it still excited and thrilled many people.

"Look!"

Harry Kane suddenly shouted, and then he manipulated the drone to zoom in the camera, and the screen showed more than a dozen people.

The angle of the drone’s camera wasn’t perpendicular but oblique, yet one could clearly see several people moving in a shallow erosion valley.

When the drone adjusted its direction and distance again, it was possible to see the situation in the erosion valley clearly.

Fourteen people, with three mortars, were in the process of setting them up, and one person, dressed in a black robe, lay on the wall of the erosion valley, watching the Air Base where Gao Yuan and his team were with binoculars.

"Whitebeard!"

Harry Kane adjusted the drone’s altitude and zoomed in the camera once more. As the camera zoomed in to its maximum, the image was slightly shaky, but still very clear.

An old man with a hat and white beard appeared on the screen.

The image was even clear enough to see that the old man was using an SV8 binocular.

"It’s him! Whitebeard!"

Harry Kane gritted his teeth, while Gao Yuan leaned over to look at the monitor behind him, finding it hard to imagine the dozen or so people in the image could cause such great damage to the air base.

Harry Kane looked at Andrew and said, "Commander, they’re in M4 Valley!"

Andrew’s smile was somewhat fierce as he raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Soldiers!"

"Wait! Wait!"

Li Yang suddenly grabbed Andrew’s hand, speaking in a low voice, "Colonel, before you give the order, I have something to tell you. I was planning to talk to you about this later, but now I must speak."

Andrew lowered his arm and said, "What do you want to say?"

Li Yang glanced at Gao Yuan, then spoke in a low voice, "Do you want to leave this place? If you do, isn’t it, shouldn’t you avoid rushing into an even more intense conflict with the enemy outside?"

Andrew exhaled and looked towards the images sent back by the drone.

Nine people were milling around the mortars, which were now set up but not yet aimed, while the white-bearded man using binoculars was talking to another old man not far from him.

Just like the other old man, also with a white beard, he was sitting by the stone wall of the erosion valley with a rifle in his arms, looking relaxed and harmless.

Andrew exhaled and said, "Leave, yes, everyone here wants to go home, but can we really leave?"

Li Yang spoke softly, "This is the second part of the cooperative plan I mentioned, Colonel. I think since this time you have accurately located the enemy, it could be done tomorrow or the day after, but before you decide to give the order to attack, I think, maybe don’t rush to attack them."

Andrew pondered for a moment, looked at Li Yang, then suddenly said, "Everyone return to a safe area for now, Major, keep monitoring the enemy, but hold your fire for now, I need to talk with Mr. Li first."
