Chapter 357: Chapter 350 Unanimous Opinion

The worst-case scenario expected was simply having to rely on their legs to walk after landing and carrying the numerous weapons and equipment on their shoulders.

For Gao Yuan, who had been driven by car through all the difficult roads, the absence of vehicles was already the biggest problem, but he discovered he was still too young.

No sooner had they landed than they encountered combat — the kind of intense fighting where gunfire filled the sky. That was going to be tough.

Dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people might just use rifles and hand grenades to fight, adding at most mortars and rocket launchers. That sort of battle could be considered low-intensity combat.

If the number of people was not large, but both sides of the conflict used heavy weapons, that meant high-intensity combat. As for how intense, that would depend on the specific circumstances of the engagement.

But no matter what kind of battle it was, the fact that it occurred at this time made Gao Yuan really want to cry without tears.

Dizzy and weak-legged, starving and only breaking into a cold sweat, walking was difficult — joining the war was absolutely impossible.

Gao Yuan sat on the beach, watching the group hastily hold their pre-battle meeting.

Too many cooks spoil the broth. Currently, Gao Yuan’s team composition was too complex, making consensus difficult to achieve.

Avi was just one person, but he represented Israel. There were four Russians, and they were self-sufficient, willing to cooperate with Spark Squad, but not necessarily ready to follow Gao Yuan all the way through.

Harry Keane was in a special situation. Being an Englishman, he strongly insisted on sticking with Spark Squad, and they ultimately agreed to let Harry Keane join because they really needed someone to operate drones, and he was fit for the role.

There was no need to mention Ashraf; he was brought by Gao Yuan and would certainly follow him and should obey commands.

Then there was Renato, who was getting more and more complicated, especially after landing. Without him, proceeding with anything would be difficult, so although he was just one person and quite mysterious, his opinion was critical.

For such a small team of not even twenty people, there were at least four different opinions. Reaching a consensus was indeed difficult.

Language barriers were currently Gao Yuan’s biggest headache, so amidst his discomfort and not knowing what to do, he simply let Li Yang and Panxin handle the discussions.

The topic of discussion was just one: whether to quickly get back on the ship and leave again.

The situation now was that Sirte was in the midst of fierce fighting, and judging by the sounds of gunfire, the battle was intense. Having taken the sea route, Gao Yuan and his team had almost discarded all heavy equipment, meaning they needed to qualify even to participate in the battle.

If they didn’t fight, they needed to board the ship and escape quickly.

In short, either fight or run; there was no third option because they couldn’t just stand by and watch Angel Mercenary Corps be completely wiped out. If that happened, their small team wouldn’t be far from death.

"Ol’Gun, you probably haven’t even seen a big river in your life, right? So why don’t you get seasick? Why? Why?!"

Ashraf now knew that he was the Ol’Gun Gao Yuan spoke of, but unfortunately, the two talking was a complete case of talking past each other, with neither understanding what the other was saying.

Thus, Ashraf always had that smile on his face, just nodding at Gao Yuan but no longer saying anything.

Gao Yuan lay on the beach, sighed, and said, "What the hell is all this, just about to go to war, and I...ugh..."

The debate grew louder, and Gao Yuan wiped his mouth with his sleeve before looking over at the five people who were arguing. Renato was resolute, Avi appeared hesitant, while Yuri seemed as indifferent as ever.

At that moment, the pressure seemed to fall on Li Yang’s shoulders. After a brief, quiet exchange with Panxin, he finally spoke succinctly to the other three.

Gao Yuan knew it would come to this, because while everyone else could retreat, wait, or hide, they were the only ones with no way out.

So Gao Yuan couldn’t be bothered to join the debate. Regardless of what the others did, they definitely couldn’t board a ship and leave again.

Moreover, Gao Yuan would rather die than get on that sailboat again. He’d be damned if he did—absolutely not.

Li Yang returned, and the others continued moving supplies, which told Gao Yuan that a fight was surely imminent. Otherwise, they would be moving supplies onto the ship rather than off it.

Li Yang crouched beside Gao Yuan and whispered, "We’ve discussed it and unanimously agreed to fight, but no matter what, I have to wait until nightfall. Attacking now is too dangerous."

Gao Yuan exhaled and whispered back, "I can’t be of any help in this state."

"It’s okay, this is a classic case of special forces causing chaos behind enemy lines. All four Russians are from Signal Flag; they’ve fought in Israel for a long time and have rich combat experience. We don’t need to say it, you know our capabilities. By joining forces, we can form two combat squads. If we can make it to the enemy artillery position, then we’re set."

Gao Yuan said weakly, "At least give me a briefing on the situation. Right now, I can’t even tell north from south..."

"We are about ten kilometers west of Sirte City, and Abu Hadi Airport, the location of the underground base we’re going to, is about twenty kilometers to the south of Sirte City. Judging from the gunfire’s distance, the enemy’s central position should be around Sirte City; that’s quite clear. The only unknown is how Angel is faring and whether they can still hold Abu Hadi Airport."

After finishing, Li Yang shook his head and spoke softly, "Anyway, the situation doesn’t look good. We only hear the sound of gunfire; the explosions are far away, and closer by, there’s no sound of explosions at all. This indicates that Angel doesn’t have the capability to return fire. They can only endure the shelling, so the situation is adverse."

Gao Yuan nodded and whispered, "Okay, what do we do now?"

"First, unload everything and move further inland. We’re too close to the coastal highway here, which makes it easy to be discovered. Then, once you’re feeling better, eat up all the dry rations. Consume enough to recover your strength as quickly as possible."

"All of it?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "Yes, all of it. The amount for twenty people to eat for ten days should be sufficient for you to recover, right? After all, if we don’t win this battle, we’ll definitely be driven into the sea, so there’s no need to worry about tomorrow. It all depends on the outcome tonight."

Gao Yuan said with some distress, "You’re not going to wait for me?"

"We can’t wait. Just focus on resting."

After speaking, Li Yang lowered his voice, "I’ve left the task of getting the supplies to Mr. Cao. He’s kept them in a canvas bag. After we go into battle, you must take care of the supplies, and also, protect Xinghe."

"Got it."

Revelation obviously needed to be well guarded, and Xinghe had to be protected too. Gao Yuan glanced at Ashraf sitting beside him and whispered, "Is Ol’Gun going too?"

Li Yang shook his head, "Ol’Gun isn’t going. We’re fighting at night, and he’s unfamiliar with night vision goggles. It’s better he doesn’t go, and stays here to protect you instead."
