Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2372 - 2348: A Different Kind of Enemy

Directional mines are simple, but using them effectively is not a very simple task.

Gao Yang isn’t arrogant enough to underestimate the millions of Shah People, but the battle style he encountered tonight is not the style of the Shah People, nor is it the combat style of an intelligence unit.

When that black guy jumped out, he was utterly resolute, full of a fierce momentum.

Either kill the enemy, or be killed by the enemy; this momentum is utterly unstoppable.

It might be prejudice, or the experience from several confrontations, but Gao Yang always thought that the Shah were too rich, so much that the Shah People were also too rich. Whether it was the army or ordinary citizens, they were always full of extravagance, and once they had this characteristic, it was extremely difficult to exhibit such resolute momentum.

The directional mines set around the entrance had lost their function. Gao Yang took small steps to run to the side of the black guy he had just killed, and after signaling with his hand, he crouched down immediately to examine the corpse.

The black guy’s face was blown apart by shotgun shells, blood and brains were all over the ground, and inspecting such a corpse was not a pleasant task.

After squatting down and flipping through the black guy’s belongings, Gao Yang immediately lifted his head and murmured, "Not Shah!"

Gao Yang was sure of his judgment, because he found several key items on the black guy that supported his assessment. First was the gun holster at the waist, one couldn’t say it was worn out, but it was old, and the pistol inside was a Browning M1935 high-power pistol, which was also old.

The rifle in the black guy’s hand was a semi-new, semi-old AK74.

The black guy also had a knife at his waist. Gao Yang pulled out the knife and found it to be a KA-BAR 1217 that was sharpened very smoothly.

The KA-BAR 1217 is a classic military knife, and at the same time, very cheap. If Gao Yang were to use one, he would definitely not choose a KA-BAR 1217 as his personal knife because it is too cheap.

The clothes were of a decent brand but not expensive, belonging to a high cost-efficiency type, and the military boots were the same. Gao Yang tried to differentiate the brand and price of the boots, but he couldn’t see the brand, though he could tell that the boots on the black guy’s feet couldn’t be expensive either.

The facts were clear. This black guy wasn’t Shah People, because Shah Intelligence Bureau combat personnel wouldn’t be so poor.

No need to say it might be a possibility of habitual retention, if that black guy were really Shah People, especially someone from the Shah Intelligence Bureau, he couldn’t possibly be accustomed to such cheap goods.

"Mercenary?"

Eileen couldn’t help but ask quietly, and Gao Yang whispered, "Seems so."

"Could it be Iron Madonna?"

Eileen asked again, and Gao Yang shook his head, "Impossible, Iron Madonna’s soldiers aren’t so poor. Also, if Iron Madonna were here, we wouldn’t be able to get in."

It seems a complicated matter, but for Gao Yang to observe, it wouldn’t take more than ten seconds, because many things are clear at a glance.

After an extremely brief pause, realizing there were others inside the building besides Shah People, Gao Yang immediately said softly into the walkie-talkie, "Others are here. Be cautious."

Who could it be if they weren’t the Shah Intelligence Bureau people? Just as Gao Yang finished speaking and was pondering this crucial question, a sudden urgent shout came through the walkie-talkie.

"The enemy is trying to break out!"

Vorvitsky was guarding the back door; if he said the enemy was breaking out, they were naturally trying to break out from the back, and while Gao Yang was pondering how to end the fight by flanking with Vorvitsky’s team, Vorvitsky suddenly shouted urgently, "Glove got hit! Glove got hit! Medic! Medic!"

Supporting Vorvitsky is simple because Gao Yang and his team are inside the building. All they need to do is enter the room on Vorvitsky’s side to inflict damage on enemies trying to leave through the back door.

Gao Yang immediately said, "One group stay here, two and three groups follow me."

Li Jinfang and the other three continued guarding inside the building to prevent enemies from coming down from above and ensure that rooms yet to be searched were clear of enemies, while Gao Yang led others to enter the room and block the enemies attempting to leave.

Gao Yang entered a room and then noticed a big gap had appeared on the wall of the backyard. About four or five people were trying to rush out from the gap, but were pressed back by concentrated gunfire, thus huddling behind the stone wall, unable to advance or retreat.

These people are Shah People, otherwise they shouldn’t be so timid.

The battle was at this stage; the enemy had entered the building. Either they continued to stubbornly hold their position, or rushed out. Such behavior of making a large hole, then being suppressed by concentrated fire, unable to move and cowering behind the wall, thus losing advantageous terrain and the chance to escape, is foolish.

Even in perilous situations, once the decision to retreat is made, one must run outside at all costs. Otherwise, why be stuck behind the gap, unable to move?

With just a glance, Gao Yang immediately raised his gun, and started shooting out the window. Then one by one, all those lying on the ground were quickly riddled by bullets from their two groups.

After shooting the enemies in dilemma, Albert swiftly said, "Cover me, I’ll check on Glove!"

With enemies appearing in the courtyard, they are easy for Gao Yang in the building to shoot, but if Albert goes out the window and there are still enemies upstairs, Albert would face an extremely dangerous situation, unlikely to dodge bullets from behind at close range.

Gao Yang exhaled and immediately said, "I and Little Fly will cover! Cobra, stop shooting, Fat Cat is out!"

Albert was still fat, he had tried hard, but could never reduce his weight to a suitable level. Fortunately, Albert matched his nickname; despite being fat, he was indeed agile.

Albert nimbly flipped out the window and rushed towards the gap on the wall without looking back, and as he dashed through the gap, bullets were indeed fired towards it.

"Cease fire, cease fire! Friendly! Are you all idiots?"

Albert angrily shouted, and Vorvitsky was also loudly commanding people to stop shooting, but unfortunately, no one could hear his Russian, and Jose, his translator, was already shot, though luckily, the friendly fire soon ceased.

"I’m Glove, I’m okay, no need to worry about me!"

Albert shouted angrily, "I’m already out!"

Gao Yang and Frey aimed their guns upwards, ready to immediately strike any enemy shooting at Albert. At this point, there was no need for cover anymore, so Gao Yang quietly said to Frey, "Let’s go back!"
