248: Chapter 246: Let’s See How Far You Can Swim 248: Chapter 246: Let’s See How Far You Can Swim Gao Yang glanced into the fishing village, where the fighting had intensified, but he didn’t bring his shotgun.
A sniper rifle was of limited use in the confined spaces of the fishing village, and it was clear that there was a fierce battle taking place not far in front of them, so Gao Yang had no intention of entering the fishing village.
Staying on the beach was dangerous, but Bruce moved quickly.
In just two minutes, Bruce suddenly turned off his headlamp and urgently said, “We can leave now, fast, get him to the Instruction Platoon’s camp, I’ll set up a first-aid station there, send all the casualties to that location.”
Gao Yang immediately shouted into his headset, “We’re heading to the Instruction Platoon’s camp now, Rabbit, cover us.”
“Rabbit received, Instruction Platoon’s camp is under attack, repeat, the Instruction Platoon’s camp is under attack, the artillery camp is under attack, unable to provide cover, unable to provide cover, evacuate somewhere else!
Estimate enemy number is over eighty, invading in squad form, can’t accurately track enemy movements, be careful!
Some are heading your way!”
After hearing Cui Bo’s response, Gao Yang angrily slammed his fist into the sand, but if they couldn’t go to the Instruction Platoon’s camp, they certainly couldn’t stay on the beach either.
Maide was the soul of the Skull Gang, if he died, the Skull Gang would disperse, so everything else could be ignored, but Maide had to be saved.
Gao Yang urgently shouted to the soldiers scattered around him, “Prepare for battle, cover Maide’s evacuation, quick, quick, quick, we can’t carry him on our backs, three people lift him up, you, give me your rifle.”
When he saw a soldier trying to carry Maide on his back, Gao Yang immediately stopped him.
He would rather use an extra pair of hands to lift Maide for evacuation because this would make them a smaller target to gunfire.
After taking an AK74 and an ammo pack from a soldier carrying Maide, Gao Yang slung the ammo pack around his neck and strapped the EBR sniper rifle on his back.
Close quarters combat was everywhere, and using the AK74 was more effective.
As the illumination flares hadn’t extinguished, new ones were fired.
Now the skies above the entire fishing village were lit by flares, and with the illumination, the attackers, who used night vision goggles, no longer had the cover of darkness.
In the village, whether Skull Gang or not, there were at least two thousand armed people.
As the members of the Skull Gang gradually reacted, the situation began to reverse, with the invaders who burst into the village disarraying the fight completely losing their advantage.
“The attackers are starting to retreat, the attackers are beginning to retreat, Ram, you’re in their path, defend on the spot, defend on the spot!”
However, as the counterattack against the attackers increased, they began to retreat.
At this moment, Gao Yang had only managed a few steps with Maide out of the beach.
If he couldn’t leave the beach, he would run headlong into the desperately retreating attackers.
“F**k, what a damn shitty battle this is!”
After cursing bitterly, Gao Yang shouted loudly, “Hit the deck, prepare to shoot, organize defense on the spot, fast, we just need to hold out for a short while!”
After the three soldiers carrying Maide laid him down, the soldier from whom Gao Yang had taken the rifle quickly lay down in front of Maide, using his body as a shield.
Seeing this, two more people crouched in front of him, using their bodies to form a defensive line in front of Maide.
Gao Yang and his men had just hit the deck when four people dashed out from the village in front of them, less than a hundred meters away.
“Open fire!”
At Gao Yang’s command, the soldiers of the first squad quickly opened fire.
Machine guns and rifles brought down all four who had run out, but the enemies managed to return fire swiftly despite being down.
The enemy was wearing heavy body armor, so even though they were shot, they did not suffer fatal injuries.
Their return fire, after hitting the ground, immediately caused casualties to the first squad.
One of the soldiers crouched in front of Maide fell forward.
Gao Yang was certain he had hit at least two enemies, but it seemed that the 5.45mm caliber bullets were too weak.
Dropping his AK74 on the ground, he pulled his EBR off his back and aimed at one person’s head before promptly firing.
At a distance of a hundred meters, no helmet could withstand the power of a 7.62mm NATO round; even if the bullet didn’t penetrate the helmet, the immense force was enough to break someone’s neck.
Therefore, Gao Yang had no doubt about his target’s ability to counterattack after being shot.
Bruce was right beside Maide.
He grabbed the rifle from the fallen soldier, moved next to Gao Yang, and together with the other soldiers, began firing.
The intense firepower prevented the fallen enemies from getting up, leaving them to lie there and take hits.
However, due to the position of their defensive setup, many of their bullets flew into the village, where Skull Gang members, having driven out the intruders, were now coming out of the fishing village.
Gao Yang found another target and after firing a shot, yelled, “Cease fire, don’t cause friendly fire, let me handle them.”
Now, attackers were emerging from various locations in the fishing village, all small groups of three to five, but although Gao Yang and his team had become the most visible targets on the beach, the Instruction Platoon and the Skull Gang were fiercely pursuing the attackers, who were too busy to pay them much attention, sparing Gao Yang and his team from any attacks.
After shooting the four fallen attackers again, Gao Yang screamed into his headset, “The attackers are starting to withdraw, their retreat route is at sea, they must have boats on the water, Big Dog, fire flares into the sea, bombard those motherf**kers with rocket launchers, everyone report your status, are you guys okay!”
“Big Dog is safe, the enemies attacking the artillery camp are retreating, the rocket launcher is ready, after the mortar flare comes the shrapnel shell, be careful to avoid,” came the reply.
“The enemies attacking the Instruction Platoon’s camp are beginning to withdraw, Rabbit is safe, but we have heavy casualties on our side.”
“Toad is safe, the Instruction Platoon has suffered heavy casualties, we’ve chased them out.”
Hearing the replies, Gao Yang shouted, “Ram and Test Tube are safe, Maide is seriously injured, we are still on the beach, Toad, move towards me for cover, Big Dog, is your artillery working, if not, be conservative when firing, don’t blow us up.”
No sooner had Gao Yang finished speaking than gunfire suddenly erupted from the sea.
Turning around, Gao Yang saw at least fifteen or sixteen spots where muzzle flashes were appearing.
As the Skull Gang members chased the attackers out of the village, the attackers’ covering force on the sea finally opened fire, and Gao Yang saw two larger boats rapidly approaching from a distance.
Glolov didn’t respond to Gao Yang immediately, but with a hissing sound, flares started to appear in the sky not far from the beach.
Only then was it clear that at least twenty black rubber boats were anchored about twenty to thirty meters off the shoreline, and now it was visible that each rubber boat had at least two people feverishly rowing towards the shore.
Gao Yang screamed into his headset, “Where the hell are the machine guns?
Our heavy machine guns, bring them out and shoot!
RPGs, fire them all off, use the rocket launchers on the big boats, sink them, Big Dog, do you see the big ships?
Bombard them with rocket launchers!”
Gao Yang was getting anxious, but in truth, without his orders, both Glolov and Li Jinfang knew what needed to be done.
The reason they hadn’t used heavy weapons yet was that the Skull Gang’s men were too close to the attackers, and they were afraid of causing friendly fire.
Just as Gao Yang was shouting, all the heavy weapons available were already firing at the boats on the sea.
Now with the flares, it was not only RPG-7s equipped with night-vision scopes that could be used.
The Instruction Platoon’s RPG-26s were launching one after another, and at the same time, at least a hundred RPG-7s were also firing.
This kind of firepower could only be described as terrifying.
For a moment, the sea was full of explosions and towering waves.
Even if the shots weren’t accurate, it didn’t matter, as each rubber boat was hit by at least four or five rockets.
Almost instantly, all the rubber boats exposed under the flares were blown sky-high.
Watching the rubber boats blasted into the air, Gao Yang felt an intense thrill, but seeing that men from the pursuing group kept falling, he immediately yelled into the microphone, “Toad, take the Instruction Platoon and gather the chasing men back, the casualties are too heavy, just drive the enemies onto the beach, use the heavy machine guns on them, Big Dog, are the heavy machine guns ready!”
Glolov, who was already stretched thin directing the mortars and rocket launchers, and now also the heavy machine gun platoon, said urgently, “Two minutes, give me two minutes!
Cancel the shrapnel shell launch from the mortars, keep firing flares, extend shooting towards the sea.”
Just as Glolov finished speaking, Lee’s voice came through the headset, “Ram, be careful, the village is now secure, the Instruction Platoon is moving towards you, be careful not to cause friendly fire.”
No sooner had Lee finished speaking, two teams sprinted from the village towards Gao Yang and his men.
Seeing that they were from the Instruction Platoon, Gao Yang yelled, “Take Maide and get out.”
Li Jinfang, accompanied by the men from the Instruction Platoon, rushed out, and by this time, Gao Yang and his team stood up.
After meeting up with Li Jinfang’s men and lifting Maide, they immediately ran back into the village.
After a short distance, Bruce immediately pointed to a roundhouse and ordered, “Establish an aid station here, we can’t delay any longer with Maide, bring me plenty of flashlights, move the generator here, bring any useful medicines to me, and water, bring all the bottled water, hurry!”
Gao Yang immediately shouted, “You heard what’s needed, the first squad stays for security, everyone else go find what Bruce needs, hurry!”
Aside from the first squad, the men from the Instruction Platoon brought by Li Jinfang immediately scattered to find the items Bruce requested.
At this point, Gao Yang said to Li Jinfang, “There’s no use for us two staying, let’s check the situation.”
As Li Jinfang turned to run towards the beach with Gao Yang, he said gravely, “The Instruction Platoon suffered heavy casualties, at least a dozen dead, and more than twenty wounded, there are even more casualties among the other guys, conservatively estimating there are at least two hundred dead.
These guys are formidable.
I heard them speaking with a British accent, and most of them are white men, f**k, definitely those Brits.”
Gao Yang cursed, “No matter who they are, no one who came here is getting away.
Without boats, I’d like to see how far they can swim!” (To be continued.
