Chapter 445: Chapter 438: Attacking the Enemy, Ensuring Rescue

In the face of a battle type he had never seen and an enemy he had never even dared imagine, the one who could quickly and accurately devise countermeasures was surely an exceptional commander.

Whether it was leading a whole army group or merely a squad, the one able to respond correctly was definitely a good commander.

The armored vehicle that had just peeled off from the convoy in an attempt to finish Gao Yuan was awkwardly turning around. By the time they had made the curve and realigned their gun barrel toward Gao Yuan, he had already disembarked from the third vehicle.

Without any hesitation, an armored vehicle fired at its own truck.

You couldn’t say the person who ordered the retreat made a mistake, but he didn’t know that Gao Yuan had restrained from killing this time, and he did it for him instead.

The shell struck the stationary truck.

Gao Yuan glanced back.

In front of him was a truck loaded with infantry, to his rear left a tank attempting to continue its assault, and to his rear right an armored vehicle that had completed its turnaround.

Gao Yuan was smack in the middle of the enemy, and he was doing so conspicuously. It was one thing to draw attention with the two large flags on his back, but it also particularly aggravated the enemy’s animosity.

So, what to do next?

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment and found that his mind seemed to work a bit slower while he was sprinting, but his speed was too quick for both the enemy and himself to react in time.

Gao Yuan had reached the fourth vehicle, and without a clear plan in mind, he unthinkingly jumped onto it. When he started a new round of slaughter, he felt he should run to the periphery; being completely surrounded by the enemy wasn’t a good thing.

By the time Gao Yuan had made up his mind, he had already cleared out the vehicle. That’s when he suddenly stumbled upon a trick.

These trucks had quite high fronts, making it impossible for the enemy inside to shoot straight forward.

Gao Yuan had an epiphany.

How had he only just discovered such a simple issue?

The enlightened Gao Yuan immediately jumped off the vehicle. Then deliberately choosing an angle, he leaped over the hood of one truck, landing directly in its bed.

The entire enemy convoy was slowing down, quickly coming to a halt. They’d been forced to stop because they couldn’t handle Gao Yuan while on the move.

The enemy was bewildered. Now they realized that capturing Gao Yuan alive was a joke. Even killing him seemed to be an unachievable challenge, and to deal with this man who hopped around brandishing a red flag like a fool, they had to come up with a plan.

It wasn’t just about having a plan, but it was necessary to stop to avoid greater casualties and think of a strategy at the same time.

The destruction Gao Yuan caused had a tremendous psychological impact on both friends and foes.

"This isn’t war, this isn’t... but what does this count as?"

Ashraf, who didn’t speak the language, was distressed because he could only converse with two people—Renato and Li Yang—and with Li Yang injured and out, Ashraf was left with only Renato to speak with.

But Ashraf despised Renato. There was no particular reason; he just didn’t feel comfortable around the man. Even though he didn’t show it, the fact that he rarely spoke to the one person he could converse with tacitly expressed his attitude.

However, right now, Ashraf just wanted someone to talk to.

Renato looked at Ashraf and then spread his hands, saying, "No matter what this is, all you need to know is that Gao Yuan is on our side. It’s like when Americans bomb you hiding in the valleys with planes and missiles. Does that count as war to you? In a sense, yes, that’s war. But from another perspective, it’s about who’s hitting and who’s getting hit."

Renato’s words seemed profound, but Ashraf couldn’t help but recall the fear when facing the warthogs and Apache Longbows.

But for the enemy, it wasn’t just psychological fear anymore.

Gao Yuan was in the truck convoy, the tanks and armored vehicles had stopped, but should they turn their guns to fire, or not?

"All vehicles spread out! Keep your distance from the monsters... Fuck!"

The enemy commander cursed angrily.

Gao Yuan was not a zombie, he was intelligent; if the enemy convoy wanted to run, he would stick close, and as long as they didn’t trap him with concentrated fire, he could keep running like this indefinitely.

The enemy’s cars began to disperse, but the enemy’s tanks and armored vehicles didn’t move, instead trying to create a dense fire network to first surround the swiftly moving Gao Yuan and then shoot him down.

Gao Yuan realized his situation, so he immediately stopped attacking and ran towards the outskirts of the battlefield.

If you move, I’ll stick to you, if you don’t, I’ll escape.

According to Gao Yuan’s strategy, he definitely didn’t fear dragging it out like this, but his opponents were not brainless fools.

Upon realizing that despite their absolute advantage in both manpower and firepower, they were still unable to encircle and kill Gao Yuan, someone smart among the enemy finally pinpointed the key issue.

"We cannot allow him to dictate the pace, sir, he’s trying to distract us!"

The commander was of course aware of Gao Yuan’s intentions, but the problem was, it was hard not to be distracted even if he wanted to.

"Let’s not bother with him, nor chase after him, let’s continue with our original target, we attack the ones he must protect!"

The principle of attacking the enemy where they must save is a consensus around the world.

But, leaving Gao Yuan alone—what about the infantry still on the trucks, who practically had no chance of fighting back against Gao Yuan? They were originally there to protect the flanks of the tanks and armored vehicles, but now they had become the ones the tanks had to protect.

Could they simply allow Gao Yuan to slaughter their infantry like this?

The enemy commander hesitated for only a brief moment, then he realized that even if he wanted to protect those infantry, in reality, there was little he could do.

"Change direction! Since he wants to shift our focus, then we’ll continue attacking our original target!"

The commander got tough; he would rather sacrifice his own infantry to force Gao Yuan to stop running rings around him.

As it turned out, sometimes sacrifices were necessary to achieve gains.

When Gao Yuan saw that the enemy’s tanks and armored vehicles actually turned around again, truly abandoning their own infantry, he indeed panicked.

Not to mention that the infantry stabilized and began to establish a Circular Defense Position to negate Gao Yuan’s speed advantage—even now, with the infantry still defenseless on the trucks, Gao Yuan didn’t have the time to strike at them.

Gao Yuan had to continue coming back to deal with the tanks.

The tank fired, firing on the move, targeting Spark Squad’s truck.

This shell missed, but this fire was meant to pressure Gao Yuan; the enemy hadn’t expected a hit.

Gao Yuan jumped onto the turret of a tank, and then he had to bite the knife handle in his mouth, reaching out to pull the hatch on the top of the tank’s turret, only to find, unsurprisingly, that it was locked from the inside.

So, facing this solid iron shell, what should he do now?
