285: Chapter 283: Breaking Through the Defense Line 285: Chapter 283: Breaking Through the Defense Line Gao Yang had already reached the doorway when he began to speak.
He dared not stay put, for if the enemy still had a sniper team, he would just be waiting to catch a bullet.
It was worth noting that he had just taken out three men in only eight seconds, just eight seconds.
The enemies around the man in the white vest were still chaotically searching for any available cover to hide behind, but not a single shot had been fired towards the window where Gao Yang was located.
After briefly observing from the doorway, Gao Yang immediately shouted to Frey, who was standing by, “Take me to another room, one that’s been cleared.”
Frey immediately pointed to another room at the other end and said in a deep voice, “It’s already been cleared and can serve as a firing position.”
Gao Yang rushed into the room, and Frey had even placed a low table under the window so that he wouldn’t have to shoot standing up anymore.
When he thought about it, being able to shoot accurately while standing was something to boast about to Cui Bo later.
With a fairly large and sturdy low table at his feet, Gao Yang now had the option to either kneel or stand while shooting.
He glanced outside, quickly took down a machine gunner with a shot, and then immediately left the room.
Gao Yang leaned behind the door and waited for a moment.
When he realized that the enemy wasn’t shooting in his direction, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought it was unlikely the enemy would deploy two sniper teams in the same area, considering their demonstrated strength, that would be a bit of a waste.
Just then, Lee Jinfang’s urgent voice came through the walkie-talkie, “Ram, pay attention.
The probing attack has begun.”
After Lee Jinfang finished speaking, a small squad of soldiers immediately charged out from an alley and launched a fierce attack on the position where Gao Yang’s enemy sniper team was located.
At this time, the Mokadi defenders in the street barricades and buildings started shooting, but the dreaded mortar shells didn’t fall.
Moreover, judging by the assault team’s condition under fire, the enemy didn’t have snipers either.
Gao Yang was halfway reassured.
He immediately began shooting at Mokadi’s men, trying to provide as much support as possible for the assaulting team.
Soon, Gao Yang realized that the support he was providing seemed to be quite effective.
Shooting at the stragglers on the street was almost effortless.
Amidst a laid-back and cheerful atmosphere, every shot Gao Yang fired would inevitably bring down a Mokadi soldier who seemed to know how to fight.
As for those who hid behind cover and shot wildly with their guns raised above their heads, Gao Yang was too lazy to waste bullets on them.
For the assault team, the good news was that the capable and willing Mokadi soldiers had been systematically picked off by Gao Yang’s bullets.
Thus, the assault team of only twelve managed to capture a segment of the street barricade, and, with cover, they even managed to hold their ground.
Gao Yang was thrilled and hastily said, “Toad, organize troops to attack from the assault point.
Push harder, the enemy can’t hold on.”
No more than a few dozen seconds after Gao Yang finished speaking, at least two platoons rushed out, hurling grenades and wildly firing rocket launchers towards crowded areas.
The two platoons surged down both ends of the street with overwhelming momentum.
Gao Yang urgently said, “Toad, the enemy’s main line of defense is on this street.
Break through, break through this street!”
“Toad received, the assault team has already arrived, two platoons.”
After Li Jinfang finished speaking, dozens more rushed out from the alley in succession.
Once they could deploy, they formed into trios and didn’t attack both sides of the street but instead charged directly into the core area controlled by the Mokadi Faction.
Seeing that some had already made a break, the mortars finally began to fire, but the shells’ landing points posed little to no threat.
Gao Yang knew that the enemy’s observers must have been taken out; their long-sight artillery had finally become blind artillery.
Gao Yang immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie, “The enemy’s artillery observers have been taken out, confirmed, Second Company, Third Company, immediately begin your assault!”
With the long-sight artillery gone, Gao Yang felt much more relieved.
Moreover, those who had broken through the defense were already spreading out, no longer needing to all stay in one place to receive shells.
Even if new observers arrived, they didn’t need to worry too much about the mortars anymore.
The Mokadi soldiers remaining on the street had already started lifting their guns above their heads and then knelt down, making the internationally recognized gesture of surrender.
Surrender is contagious; after seeing some surrender, Mokadi soldiers began to kneel and surrender in large numbers.
By then, the overall situation was decided.
Just as Gao Yang felt confident about the victory, he suddenly saw soldiers near the building he had marked as target four falling to the ground, yet he couldn’t see where the enemy was.
That’s when Gao Yang realized it was the formidable Mercenary Group coming to rescue their two seriously wounded sniper teams.
Gao Yang said urgently, “Don’t engage hard with the enemy near the fourth target building, bypass it, bypass it.
The enemy will definitely try to rescue their sniper team, steer clear of them for now!
Big Dog, where’s the artillery?
Have the artillery bombard the area around the fourth target building.”
Not many soldiers who had taken out the enemy snipers chose to storm the building.
After Li Jinfang ordered the troops to bypass the fourth target building, there were no more casualties.
By this time, rocket launchers and mortars had been brought onto the main street and were being frantically adjusted in preparation for firing.
Gao Yang turned his attention back to the window where the enemy snipers had been, but he didn’t spot any enemies.
Soon, Li Jinfang shouted urgently, “Message from the assault team, they’ve spotted the enemy entering the fourth target building, eight people, but they’re too skilled, we can’t hold them back, we just can’t.”
Gao Yang said quickly, “If we can’t hold them back, then avoid them.
Push on to Mokadi’s den first.
The enemy is only slightly more than thirty, they can’t cause too much trouble.
Don’t rush to engage them head on; if necessary, we can circle back and surround them later.
As long as we push through now, we can slowly bombard them with artillery.”
When the tide of battle turns, once a point has been breached, Mokadi’s largest and most important defensive line is rapidly overrun.
The enemy is either dead or captured, and each company commander reports to Gao Yang that they’ve penetrated the enemy’s line and are now sprinting toward Mokadi’s last fortification.
Gao Yang had never forgotten about that capable Mercenary Group.
He ordered with urgency, “All units be aware, if you encounter strong resistance, or find that the enemy is a small number of mercenaries, transition to defense on the spot.
The primary task is to preserve yourselves, don’t engage the enemy harshly, and certainly don’t launch a strong attack on them.
We have heavy firepower, no need to sacrifice too much.”
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang realized he left something out and quickly called again, “All units be aware, try to capture Mokadi alive!” (To be continued.
