Chapter 583 A Lot of Pressure

Armed helicopters are a good thing, useful for fighting infantry, and even better for fighting tanks.

The British brought tanks and armored vehicles. If Gao Yang hadn't gotten the information from Justin, the Skeleton Gang would have suffered a big loss. Fortunately, the British didn't use the tanks by surprise.

The British couldn't catch them by surprise, but Gao Yang could. Just as they didn't expect the British to find tanks, the British certainly didn't expect they could find armed helicopters.

The only question is whether the Skeleton Gang can afford a helicopter.

"Do you use it or the Skeleton Gang? It's free if you use it. It can be given to you. If the Skeleton Gang uses it, the guaranteed fee is half a million US dollars. That is to say, it will be the same amount regardless of whether you participate in the war. If you participate in the war, it will cost you 100,000 US dollars. If it's shot down, I'll pay me two million dollars for each plane, or I'll take the risk and fight for $200,000 a time. Even if it's shot down, there's no need for skeletons to take care of it. If the cost of using it exceeds one million dollars, then there's no need to fight again. I paid half a million dollars in guaranteed fees. You know, I can't pull the plane over, but the Skeleton Gang doesn't use it even once, so the guaranteed fees are necessary.

Of course, you are responsible for all the ammunition and fuel consumed. As for the maintenance and pilot costs, I will also pay for the cost of transporting the helicopter back and forth. "

Ulyanko revealed the price of renting an armed helicopter.

War is a money-burning game. Gao Yang really feels this now. Sometimes, the effect of dispatching heavy equipment is certainly better than using human lives to fill it. But the problem is that not everyone can afford to use these equipment. of.

Ulyanko quoted a price for the use of the helicopter. But hear the price. Gao Yang didn't dare to make the decision for the Skeleton Gang. Because it is too expensive, no matter what kind of leasing method, it is too expensive.

Ma Yid and the others could hear what Gao Yang said. After hearing Gao Yang talk about the helicopter, they all pricked up their ears, but seeing the pain on Gao Yang's face, Abu couldn't help but said: "What's wrong? Can’t a helicopter do that?”

Gao Yang shook his head. He said: "It's not that it's impossible, it's just too expensive. It's too expensive."

Ma Yid asked curiously: "How expensive is it? We can't afford it at all?"

After Gao Yang said "wait" to Ulyanke who was still waiting for him, he told Ulyanke's offer. After listening, everyone fell silent.

It costs 200,000 US dollars for a helicopter to participate in a war, and after the war, rockets, cannon shells, anti-tank missiles and so on. Of course, there is also oil, which is also money.

If only one helicopter trip would solve the problem.

Of course that's good, but unfortunately that's impossible. Gao Yang estimates that after this battle, a Mi-24 will be dispatched for more than ten sorties. However, if there are armed helicopters to provide fire support to accompany the battle, it will be very difficult for the infantry. This is really great news.

With the Mi-24, the British tanks are no longer a problem. This battle is much easier to fight. The only problem is whether Majid is willing to spend the money to serve as a mercenary and participate in the battle himself. Of course Gao Yang hopes There are armed helicopters accompanying the battle. He has never enjoyed such high-level benefits.

After the expression on Ma'id's face changed several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Ask him if he can accept credit."

Gao Yang immediately said to Uli Yangke: "Brother, let me tell you something. Can the money for this helicopter be paid on credit?"

Ulyanko said without hesitation: "No, man, the helicopter belongs to Ivan the Great, not mine. I can make the decision to lend the anti-tank missiles to the Skeleton Gang on credit, because it is my decision, but the helicopter , that belongs to Big Ivan, if you want it, I can say hello to Big Ivan and I will happily deliver it to you immediately, but it is for the Skeleton Gang, sorry, I can only follow the rules."

Gao Yang immediately began to consider misappropriating their commission to rent a helicopter. However, after seeing Gao Yang's face, Ma Yid knew that this road of credit would not work. He immediately waved his hand and said: "Gongyang, forget it, give up the helicopter." , we can win without a helicopter, right?"

Gao Yang could only regretfully say to Uliyangke: "It's too expensive and we can't afford to rent it. Otherwise, we won't be able to use this helicopter until the Skeleton Gang gets rich or you are willing to lower the price. Otherwise, we won't be able to use this helicopter. Well, I Let me ask, if we need a helicopter, how soon can you send it there?"

After Ulyanke thought about it carefully, he said: "It takes one day to load the ship, plus the time on the road. After arriving, we have to make preparations for ground maintenance and so on. It will take at least three days. It will take at least three days." This is the fastest way to complete preparations for combat."

Gao Yang finally felt confident and said, "Okay, I understand. Maybe we will rent a helicopter and contact you then. Now you'd better hurry up and send the anti-tank missiles."

"Understood, anti-tank missiles are too sophisticated. If you are not in a hurry, we will not arrange airdrops to avoid any damage. It will take a day to send them by ship. You can receive them tonight. Of course, if you If you can’t wait any longer, I will immediately arrange for it to be airdropped to you.”

Gao Yang thought for a while and felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry. He immediately said: "Let's go by sea. It'll be no problem in one day. That's it. If you have any questions, please contact me."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang shrugged helplessly and said: "It's a pity that we can't use helicopters, but we will definitely win even without helicopters. I am confident in this."

Ma Yid smiled and said: "We will definitely buy our own helicopters and fighter jets in the future. Now, we still have whatever equipment we have to fight any war. Ram, we are thinking about when to recapture Banda, or directly attack Gai." Sarai, do you have any suggestions?”

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said: "I don't know what your grand strategy is, but the battle with Gaida Lai is unavoidable now. The British are involved, and their ultimate goal is to eliminate the Skeleton Gang. , so if you don’t attack them, they will attack you, so there is nothing to say, just attack when you are ready until they are completely defeated.”

Ma Yid smiled and said: "We will definitely fight. The question is how to fight. Do you have any ideas?"

Gao Yang shook his head and said: "I haven't fought with them, and I don't understand the situation. How can I come up with any ideas now? But, Jian Dao, what do you think?"

After Jiang Yun considered it carefully, he said in a deep voice: "The main reason why the attack on Gesala failed this time was because the British were involved. Otherwise, those pirates alone are not a threat at all, even if there are young people The same goes for the people of the Party. Therefore, the key to the problem is still how to defeat the British troops. I have not been on the front line, so I can't give any targeted opinions, but there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the Skeleton Gang's team is better than that of those The British are still far behind, so if they want to defeat the strong with the weak, they have to increase the number of attacking troops."

Abu suddenly said: "Those British are indeed very powerful, their guns are very accurate, and their equipment is good."

After Gao Yang pondered for a moment, he said: "Jiandao, how about you take command? Well, even if you don't take command personally, you can just play a role like chief of staff. I will step in, but you will make the decision."

Jiang Yun came out of the army and was still an officer. Gao Yang felt that Jiang Yun's ability to command large troops in combat must be better than him, so Gao Yang hoped that Jiang Yun could serve as the commander-in-chief. However, unexpectedly, Jian Dao shook his head and smiled bitterly after hearing this. Said: "You are wrong. Frankly speaking, what I study and research is also small-scale special operations. I boast that I am also good at training people, but my ability to command large forces in combat is not as good as yours. Even in small-scale operations." Special operations, I may not be as good as you. Don’t forget, you have much more practical experience than I do. Before I went abroad, I had no chance to participate in actual combat. In fact, even after I left the country, I have no real experience. He once commanded a battle."

Jiang Yun is right. Although he has a professional background, in terms of actual combat experience, he is not as rich as Gao Yang. His ability to command small-scale special operations may not be as good as Gao Yang's, let alone commanding large troops. Even if he is rushing The duck is on the shelf, and Gao Yang also directed the Skeleton Gang to defeat Bossosa.

A force of two to three thousand people is already a very large force for mercenaries. The Satan Mercenary Group lacks talents who can command large groups in combat. Of course, there is no need for them at all. Therefore, Gao Yang can only rush to the shelves again. , ready to command a large force of several thousand people.

Commanding a large army in combat is completely different from that of a dozen or so troops. It is strange that the abilities of a brigade commander and a squad leader are the same.

Moreover, the battle that the Skeleton Gang is going to fight now is different from that when they captured Bossosa. At that time, the distance was dozens of kilometers, and the fight could start as soon as they arrived. But now, the base camp is 200 kilometers away from the combat area. Just thinking about fighting is not enough. Logistics Supplies, the march and deployment of troops, etc., are all extremely important links, and Gao Yang has absolutely zero experience in this area.

It is pure nonsense that there are people who are born to command thousands of troops in war, especially in modern wars. It is easy to train a high-ranking commander. Even if fighting in Somalia is much easier, Gao Yang does not want to fight in a war. A typical war in Africa.

People were dragged to the battlefield in a mess, and then there was a melee between thousands of people from both sides. The fighting lasted for several hours. Both sides suffered several or even more than a dozen casualties before retreating. This was a typical African war. This kind of battle was incredible. The scene was just because the commander was too bad.

The opponents are mainly elite soldiers who have retired from the British army, and their number is nearly three hundred. They are already a force that can play a decisive role and can also cause a large number of casualties. In any case, it is impossible to fight for several hours or even several hours. It was a funny scene where only a few or a dozen people were injured or killed.

No matter what, even if he was chasing ducks, Gao Yang would have to command at least two thousand troops to fight a battle. One general was incompetent and the three armies were exhausted. Thousands of lives were on his hands. Gao Yang was under great pressure because Not only does he not allow a bad battle to be fought under his command, but he also has to win a battle, a big victory. (To be continued...)

ps: The third update is here. Although it is very late, I finally did not break my promise.

I'm so sleepy, go to bed quickly...
