A Mercenary’s War

Chapter 599 The Infantry’s Nightmare Is Coming

There were dozens of figures in the night vision devices sneaking out of the city from between a bunch of buildings. Amidst the constant artillery fire, they moved in a skirmish line towards the teaching company that raised their right wing.

The enemy's actions are not very reasonable, but maybe the enemy wants to take advantage of the artillery fire. The Skeleton Gang thinks that they will not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, so they will take it by surprise, so it is not necessarily possible that they will brave the artillery fire for a surprise attack.

After Gao Yang gave a greeting, everyone quickly extinguished the fire with sand, and then each took their positions. After notifying other sentry posts that the enemy was taking action, all that was left was to stand ready.

Although the attack was late at night, the enemy made frequent tactical moves, looking for cover along the way, and moved toward Gao Yang and their right position one after another.

After a few glances, Grolev said in a deep voice: "The enemy has finally moved out. Do you want to call for artillery fire to blow them back?"

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Yang said: "No, let's see what they want to do. The enemies are spread out so widely that the artillery fire cannot have a good effect."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yang said loudly: "Worker bees, inform the three artillerymen of the enemy's coordinates and ask them to prepare flares!"

Providing coordinates to the artillery has always been left to Tommy. With Tommy here and a coordinate map prepared in advance, artillery support can be called easily.

While waiting, the enemy approached less than 300 meters in front of the teaching company's front line. The teaching company was also ready for battle at this time, and Gao Yang decided to fire as long as the enemy moved forward. When the flares started firing, The light and heavy firepower of the teaching company opened fire collectively. We will definitely be able to eliminate all these thirty people.

The shelling has stopped and silence has returned, but a fierce battle is brewing. At this critical moment, the enemy suddenly turned around and retreated.

When he saw the enemy turning around to retreat, Gao Yang was extremely surprised, but he could only order to fire. Although the enemy was not within the optimal shooting range, he could not just put them back.

"Fire!"

After giving the order, Gao Yang was the first to shoot. The enemy was on their flank, about five hundred meters away, and opened fire. Except for him, Grolev and Tribo, the firepower of others had no effect.

After firing, the artillery flares were fired in time, illuminating the battlefield in front of the teaching company. The light and heavy machine guns of the teaching company opened fire together. The rifle also fired in time.

The distance seems a little far. Although the flares are very bright, they are certainly not comparable to the natural light during the day. The enemy is about three hundred meters away from the teaching company's position.

As long as they lie down at this distance, the teaching company cannot accurately kill them one by one.

Gao Yang killed at least two people, but after the enemy fell down, his range of fire was insufficient. At a distance of five hundred meters, both sides are at the same height. Gao Yang couldn't shoot at all while lying down. Even if he stood up, he couldn't accurately shoot at the small target lying down.

Gao Yang's principle is to annihilate the sneak attack, and it is best to capture a few alive, so when he saw all the enemies lying on the ground, he immediately loudly shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Teaching Company, attack, get close and hit, try to give them as much damage as possible I’ll catch a few alive!”

After giving the order to the teaching company, Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "Assault team! Let's go, others take cover, let's catch a few alive and come back!"

It was a rare opportunity to catch tongues, and looking at the enemy's movements and good ability to move at night, Gao Yang felt that these should be British, not cannon fodder for pirates. If they were captured, they would be valuable for interrogation, so he decided to capture a few. Tongue comes back and asks.

According to the usual drill formation, the two three-person assault teams cooperated with each other and quickly rushed towards the hiding place of those who attacked at night. However, when they rushed out less than a hundred meters, they saw a sudden explosion where the British were hiding. There was an explosion.

The explosion was very powerful. It couldn't be a grenade or an RPG, nor was it the explosion of a mortar shell or a 107mm rocket. Gao Yang slowed down and said loudly on the intercom: "Three guns, have you fired?" Teaching Company, did you open fire?"

"The teaching company reported that we did not use explosives."

"The third artillery report showed that no other shells were fired except flares."

Gao Yang was shocked. The report was in line with his judgment. He immediately shouted loudly: "Stop advancing! Teaching Company, stop pursuing!"

After Gao Yang gave an order, Grolev also spoke, and he shouted: "Fake, those people are here to lay landmines, they must be landmines!"

It was too easy to lay mines on the sand. Gao Yang saw dozens of enemies rising and falling, but the time they lay down each time was very short, so he thought they were moving forward with tactical actions to avoid possible falling shells, but he didn't expect that It's laying landmines.

The enemy accidentally touched the mines when they were retreating after planting them. Once the mines were buried, unless eye-catching signs were set up in advance, no one would be able to tell that there were mines under their feet, not to mention it was late at night, even during the day. Fortunately, the enemy accidentally touched it, otherwise, stepping into the minefield would have been too much fun.

Gao Yang immediately said on the intercom: "Teaching Company, the enemy has laid mines, proceed carefully, stop at a safe distance, and do not step into the minefield!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "I roughly remember the scope of those people's activities. Let's continue. As long as we don't go to where they have been, we should be fine."

Things like landmines have a huge psychological impact on people. After Gao Yang reached the edge of the place where the enemy had never moved in his memory, he no longer dared to move forward.

Gao Yang was not a god. He had no way of remembering where the enemy had stayed. It was impossible to find out where the enemy had buried mines based on his impressions.

Although they accidentally touched a mine, the enemy's evacuation speed was still very fast. Gao Yang and the others were unable to catch up with the enemy. However, after they got closer, Gao Yang shot and killed another person continuously.

A round of ambush should have caused more than ten casualties to the enemy. However, when the enemy retreated, they still took back the dead and wounded. Gao Yang stopped outside the minefield and did not dare to advance. In the end, they still watched the enemy again. Withdrew.

After helplessly watching the enemy withdraw, Gao Yang said to Grolev beside him: "Do you think the enemy must be laying mines? I have never seen mines explode, so I can't tell the difference."

Grolev shrugged and said: "Judging from the type of explosion, I can't recognize it, but I don't think there is anything other than mines. The grenades are not that powerful, not to mention that our people haven't arrived at all." Grenade-throwing distance.”

At this time, Raphael said with certainty: "Don't guess, it's a landmine, and it's a jumping mine. Although you can't see it clearly, the explosion must have happened in the air, at least one meter above the ground. Also, it was Large mines, at least of the M16 level, or simply the M16 series."

Gao Yang exhaled and said: "Go back the way you came. Remember the scope of this area. You must go around it tomorrow."

Raphael shrugged and said: "Boss, I don't understand why the enemy didn't lay mines in advance, but still had to sneak up and lay mines in the middle of the night. Also, do you think it's possible that the enemy has actually laid minefields long ago? Today Are you just here to supplement and strengthen yourself tonight?"

Gao Yang was startled and said: "It is possible, and the possibility is very high. Don't forget, we have never been too close to the enemy today. If the enemy had laid mines close along the defense line, then we would not have been able to do so until now. No chance of triggering.”

Grolev said bitterly: "That is to say, except for the enemy's main movement channels, other places may or may not be minefields. Our judgment method can only be guessing or We can only find out after we step on a landmine.”

Gao Yang had no way to deal with landmines, not at all. When Sirte stepped on an anti-infantry jumping mine in South America, he still remembered the desperate feeling very clearly. To deal with this thing, Unless there is a mine-sweeper truck, manual demining is relied on. Not to mention whether there are manpower, even if there is manpower, it cannot be cleared in a short time.

Maybe the enemy is really just temporarily laying a small amount of mines on the route where the Skeleton Gang may launch an attack tonight, but the question is, how to determine, is it really impossible to let people go through the mines.

During the battle of the mercenaries, they encountered landmines. This was definitely a situation that no mercenary group could face or be willing to face. At worst, they would not make any money, and no one was willing to fight in minefields.

Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "Hurry back to the starting position and inform everyone that you are not allowed to move forward to the enemy position unless necessary. I have to make a phone call quickly to see if that bastard Justin knows about this situation."

After returning to the area where he started, Gao Yang quickly found the phone and dialed Justin immediately regardless of the time.

Justin's phone was also on 24 hours a day, and he answered it on time after the second ring, even late at night. After Justin answered the phone quickly as usual, Gao Yang immediately said: "I'm sorry. I’m calling you so late, but there is an emergency. Please tell me, do you know that the British have laid landmines, or do you know if they have purchased landmines?”

Justin was obviously startled and said: "Landmines? I really don't know about this situation. Please wait a moment. I will ask you immediately and call you soon."

After hanging up the phone, Justin called back after waiting for almost ten minutes.

"Ram, it's like this. I can't find out whether the British are carrying landmines, nor can I find out whether they have laid mines. But we may be able to analyze it. The British transported four trucks yesterday afternoon, and they were extremely well protected. , except for the British, no one can get close, and after the shipment arrived, about forty people from the British were busy outside the city of Gesale last night."
