475: Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy-Two: We’re in for a Tough Battle 475: Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy-Two: We’re in for a Tough Battle Gao Yang immediately became tense again, as they absolutely could not afford to be surrounded by the police once more, not even held up.
In their situation, leaving Colombia had become difficult.
At least a few dozen police officers had died, and the fighting had occurred in broad daylight in a bustling urban area, which, even in chaotic Colombia, was an extraordinarily rare and major event.
Having broken out from the police encirclement, Gao Yang and his men had only resolved the most pressing crisis, but they were still a long way from safety.
What they would face next was certainly more extensive pursuit and encirclement by the police, and the military would definitely join in.
The Angel Mercenary Corps was formidable, and the Satan Mercenary Corps had fewer men but their combat power was also not weak.
The people led by Samuel and Brejinsky were also quite strong fighters.
However, when facing the full firepower of a national capital’s law enforcement, even their combined forces would only amount to an eventual obliteration.
Even if not surrounded by police reinforcements, as long as they were followed by the police, countless police or military forces would join the fray, certainly followed by the force of armored vehicles and helicopters.
“More police coming?
So fast, how many?
We’ve got to evacuate quickly, we can’t afford to be held up by the police.”
What Gao Yang understood, Nate understood as well, but Nate’s face remained characteristically calm and unflustered as he said in a deep voice, “The number is unknown, but it shouldn’t be too many.
We need to leave the city before the Jaguar Corps arrives.”
The Jaguar Corps was a Colombian military special forces unit with years of combat experience against drug traffickers and guerrilla forces, particularly in jungle warfare, richer than any other military unit in the world.
In domestic operations, the combat effectiveness of the Jaguar Corps fluctuated, but once they operated outside of Colombia, their performance would instantly improve.
If unburdened by psychological stress, the combat capability of the Jaguar Corps was quite formidable, especially their abilities and experience in jungle warfare, which were renowned worldwide as one of the pinnacle jungle warfare elite units.
Even the U.S.
military would turn to the Jaguar Corps for lessons in jungle combat.
The adversaries were different, so naturally the equipment would differ.
Police mainly operating within cities would at most have police helicopters and armored vehicles, while the Jaguars had armed helicopters, transport helicopters, armored vehicles, and even light tanks—with basically everything a military special forces unit should have.
The Jaguar Corps was stationed just outside Bogota.
If Gao Yang and his group were delayed, the situation would seriously escalate once the Jaguars arrived.
At that moment, a member of the Angel Mercenary Corps walked into the clinic, carrying a first aid kit and with two particularly noticeable large scars on his face.
After entering the clinic, he saluted Nate and said, “Lieutenant Colonel, I’m here.”
Nate pointed at Gao Yang and ordered, “Treat his wounds, and make it quick.”
Gao Yang shook his head with a wry smile, “I can hold off a bit longer.
Scarface, right?
Please see what medicines can be collected here in the clinic; we might need them.
We don’t have time to wait for the owner to finish the surgery before organizing them.”
Scarface looked at Nate, and Nate gestured with his hand, “Do as he says.”
Gao Yang turned to Cui Bo and said, “Rabbit, take Scarface to ask Andy He what medicines he needs, and prepare any alcohol that’s needed quickly.”
After speaking to Cui Bo, Gao Yang then told Samuel, “Prepare the vehicles quickly, speed it up.”
As Samuel was about to leave, Cui Bo ran out again, shouting loudly, “Ivan’s surgery is done, he’s doing well.
Bruce’s task is also complete.
We need people to help move them to the vehicles, and others to help load the medicines!”
With Ivan’s surgery finally over, one of the tight strings in Gao Yang’s heart began to loosen.
He immediately said, “Then don’t drive, use the surgical beds to push them to the vehicles, hurry.”
Nate also urgently spoke into the radio, “The targets are coming out, cover them and report the situation now.”
Everyone who was available had already gone to the surgical room to help transport the wounded, and others were packing the necessary medicines under Scarface and Ava’s direction, while Andy He, taking care of Ivan, was also loudly calling for the needed medicines.
After listening intently for a moment, Nate turned to Gao Yang and said, “The police are at the north end of the street, but we must leave from the north as well.
Act quickly before the police complete their blockade.”
Gao Yang nodded, “Do you need our help?”
“Not for now, it will depend on how things develop.”
Gao Yang placed the earpiece into his ears and, after turning on his radio, he spoke in a serious voice, “Let’s sync our radios to the same frequency so we can follow your commands.”
After Nate provided a frequency, Gao Yang first adjusted to the frequency that the Angel Mercenary Corps was using.
Then he immediately began to hear the constant chatter coming through his earpiece.
Gao Yang only had one usable hand, and there were already enough people helping, so he didn’t go over to help, just adjusted the gear on his body, and made his combat preparations.
The bulletproof vest Andy He had prepared was quite good, so Gao Yang didn’t take off the bulletproof vest.
Moreover, his left shoulder was injured, so he definitely couldn’t use the sniper rifle and shotgun.
His combat preparations were merely holding a pistol as a gesture.
Ivan was quickly wheeled out, and by the time Andy He came out, he had already donned a bulletproof vest and helmet.
After walking up to Gao Yang, Andy He chambered a round into his FAMAS Rifle with a clack and lifted his head, “We can move now, and I can join as a combatant.”
Gao Yang was taken aback and said, “I’m sorry to drag you into this, but I think it would be better if you stay as medical personnel.”
Andy He shrugged and replied, “Ivan’s condition has stabilized already.
During the transfer, I wouldn’t be of much use, so it’s better for me to join as a combatant.
Yeah, Ava will definitely want to leave with me, so please help me ensure her safety.”
Gao Yang had no time for long conversations and immediately said, “Let’s move out and leave this place first.
Everyone, be alert, keep the injured in the middle, protect the non-combatants, Little Donnie, Ava, both of you be careful, let’s move now.
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang turned to Nate and said, “From now on, we’ll follow your command.”
Nate nodded his head and made a hand signal before swiftly exiting the clinic.
At that moment, Gao Yang heard a panicked voice over the earpiece, “Major, we’ve engaged the enemy, estimate around seventy hostiles, based on their equipment, it can be confirmed they are SWAT Team, do we need to identify the enemy’s identity?”
Nate authoritarianly said, “Identify the enemy.”
Samuel, carrying medical supplies with four others, ran towards the parked cars at top speed, while Ivan lay on the operating table.
Frey and one of Ivan’s men who was injured by a hand grenade were placed on another operating table.
As for Lucica, Bruce and Cui Bo carried her.
Nate walked quickly, with Gao Yang closely following him.
They hadn’t even reached the street corner and not even thirty seconds had passed when Gao Yang again heard a call from the Angel Mercenary Corps over his earpiece.
“Report, according to reliable intelligence, the enemy is the Black Panther Squad, one of the two SWAT Teams of the Bogota police department, exact number seventy-three personnel, fully mobilized, their mission is to reinforce the SWAT Team that was just annihilated, their engagement with us is a skirmish and not an intentional ambush, the enemy has no heavy equipment, particularly adept at CQB combat, no known significant weaknesses, it’s assumed the enemy lacks experience in countering artillery fire.”
Listening to the sounds coming through the earpiece, Gao Yang was stunned, because he couldn’t imagine how the Angel Mercenary Corps got information about a police special forces unit they stumbled upon, and that too in less than a minute.
Nate coolly said, “Keep the enemy at a safe distance.”
Gao Yang was getting impatient and whispered to Nate, “Should we leave in a different direction, like maybe make a turn and head south?”
Nate shook his head confidently, “The south has only two exits from the city, and moreover, there’s only one road after getting out of the city.
If we go from the south, the exits will be blocked by the time we get there.
We’ll leave from the north end where there are more route options.”
After speaking to Gao Yang, Nate once again pressed the push-to-talk button on his radio and loudly said, “The target is ready to board.
Group C, suppress the enemy, try not to let them form up.
Everyone else, gather up, prepare for a frontal assault.”
After giving the orders, Nate waved at Gao Yang and said, “We need concentrated fire power, try to eliminate all of the enemy to ensure safety.
Get all your assaulters up.
Also, I know you have a good gunner, who is it?”
Gao Yang immediately waved Tommy over, “Worker Bee, come here.”
Tommy stood in front of Nate, who then pointed towards a few members of the Angel Mercenary Corps and said, “Go there, someone will provide you with mortars.”
Tommy immediately ran towards the place Nate had pointed, and at that time, those intercepting the Black Panther Squad had already engaged in fierce gunfire with the Panthers.
The location where Gao Yang and his group were was a crossroad, where they wouldn’t be hit by bullets unless they stood right at the intersection.
Samuel and the others drove four vehicles and forcefully crossed the intersection, stopping ahead of Gao Yang and the others.
They clumsily placed the injured onto the vehicles.
When Nate looked back and saw that the people he sent to the south end of the street were about to reach the intersection, Nate loudly said, “Non-combat personnel, get on the vehicles.
Except for drivers and snipers, the rest serve as assaulters, and follow my lead.”
Amidst a flurry of clicks as bullets were chambered, Gao Yang deftly changed the magazine in his pistol with one hand.
Watching Gao Yang’s movements, Nate curiously said, “As an injured man, do you plan to wield your pistol as an assaulter?”
Gao Yang, seemingly unaware of his own injured condition and often forgetting about his wound, paused at Nate’s comment and then said, “Ah?
What?
Oh, you’re the commander, I’ll listen to you.”
Nate shrugged and said, “No problem, if you want to participate, then join in.”
After finishing speaking, Nate once again pressed the earpiece of the radio and looked at his watch before loudly saying, “All units, snipers fire at will and herd the enemy together, gunners find your firing positions independently, rapid concentration of fire in two minutes, assaulters get ready.” (To be continued.
