509: Chapter 505: Airdrop 509: Chapter 505: Airdrop Although he had already obtained detailed intelligence on the enemy forces, Gao Yang still listened attentively to everything Uriyangko said.
The intelligence sent by Uriyangko, and that which He Nait’s Intelligence Officer sent, were almost identical; hence, Uriyangko’s intelligence was still useful, at least to corroborate with that of He Nait’s.
After speaking with Uriyangko, Gao Yang decided to keep him involved in the intelligence gathering effort as a complement to He Nait’s Intelligence Officer.
He then put down the phone, turned to Nate, and said, “You see, I now have a ‘non-professional’ intelligence officer, haha, oh, sorry, wait a moment, I need to take another call.”
Little Donnie made the call, and before Gao Yang could speak upon answering, Little Donnie rushed to say, “I’ve found a channel that can provide accurate intelligence.
It’s very detailed information, from the Ministry of Defense down to the front-line command, even the movements of the frontline troops can be precisely tracked.
Five minutes after orders are given, I can relay the intelligence to you.
Tell me quickly what aspects you want to know about.”
Gao Yang stood there stunned for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, “Well, tell me what you know.”
After Little Donnie had shared just a few details, Gao Yang finally couldn’t help but say, “Stop talking, stop, that’s enough, Little Donnie, I want to know where you’re getting this intelligence from?”
“Huh?
What’s wrong?
I’m not quite sure about the exact position of the person I am dealing with, but I can confirm that the intelligence is leaked from the Defense Minister’s Secretary.
When I tried to purchase the intelligence, I directly contacted a subordinate of the senior commander in the Ministry of Defense responsible for the operation against you, so the intelligence’s credibility is very high.”
Gao Yang gave a wry smile and said, “How much?”
“Very, very cheap, one hundred thousand US dollars.
If more intelligence is needed later, it would cost extra, but the price is very reasonable.”
“Alright, it indeed seems quite cheap.
However, don’t buy any more intelligence for now; we already have two sources collecting intelligence.
I’ll explain this to you later.
For now, you can go do something else.
Hmm, we can save the money for buying intelligence.”
After hanging up on Little Donnie, Gao Yang looked at Nate and smiled, saying, “Our own intelligence officer brought the same intelligence.
I don’t even know what to say.”
Nate sighed and said, “Alright, no need to say anything; we’re just lucky, that’s all I can say.
However, as a military professional, I feel sympathy for the soldiers from Colombia; their lives are too undervalued.”
Although he was on the profiting side, Gao Yang still nodded repeatedly and said, “Exactly.
Although I haven’t served in the military, I understand how you feel.”
Nate shook his head and sighed deeply again, then said, “Let’s go; the airdrop is coming.
We need to prepare to receive it.”
As Gao Yang and Nate were walking towards the designated drop zone, Chloe said over the intercom, “Report, we’ve just received the latest intelligence.
The enemy’s armed reconnaissance team will depart in two hours and twenty minutes.”
“Got it.”
Having said that indifferently, Gao Yang’s phone soon rang.
After he answered, Uriyangko said, “I just received a message.
At eleven o’clock sharp this morning, an armed reconnaissance team will head your way; from the coordinates, it’s definitely your camp.
Be careful, and also, the aircraft will soon arrive.
I’m giving you a frequency to contact the people on the plane.”
After noting the radio frequency for contacting the airdrop plane, Gao Yang waved his phone at Nate, saying, “The airdrop is coming, and the intelligence matches.”
After saying this, Gao Yang set his intercom to the frequency Uriyangko had given him, and soon, he received a call.
“This is Mosquito, please respond if received, over.”
The call was repeated every twenty seconds.
After confirming that the caller’s self-proclaimed name matched the one Uriyangko gave him, Gao Yang pressed the talk button on his intercom after Mosquito’s second call, saying, “This is Ram, over.”
After identifying himself, Gao Yang then established contact with the people on the plane.
“Hello, we have reached the airspace over the target area.
Signal us when you see us, repeat, once you see us upon reaching the target airspace, signal us, over.”
Gao Yang turned to Nate and said, “They have arrived, take a look, signal them when you see them.”
Because he changed the frequency on his intercom, Gao Yang was unable to receive any more calls, but Nate still could.
He almost immediately said, “I see them.”
After his quick response, Nate immediately said over the intercom, “Send the signal, let them forcibly airdrop on the zone.”
In the jungle, airdropping isn’t simple—much dense foliage could catch the parachutes, preventing the cargo from reaching the ground smoothly.
And for airdropping personnel, the risks are even greater.
But Gao Yang and his team didn’t want to be quickly discovered by reconnaissance planes and couldn’t clear an area, so they had no choice but to proceed with a forced airdrop.
Soon, a voice over Gao Yang’s headset said, “Signal spotted, beginning forced airdrop; items marked with red are dangerous, handle with care.”
Shortly after, Gao Yang heard the buzzing of the propeller planes, then saw many parachutes float down through gaps in the forest canopy, mostly white, with four red ones descending last.
After circling above for a while and dropping the items, the airplane flew away, and only then did Gao Yang and his team get busy.
Only a few parachutes had landed on the ground, most were caught in trees.
The parachutes caught in the trees could only be retrieved by climbing, but luckily, there were no reconnaissance planes for the moment, even if some parachutes were visible in the trees.
Of course, even if they were discovered by a reconnaissance plane, it really wouldn’t matter anymore.
“Airdrop complete; cargo includes tents and food, eighty M18A1 Directional Mines, with red-marked wooden boxes indicating the Directional Mines.
Next airdrop anticipated in one hour, mainly medical supplies, likely another batch of Directional Mines, and personnel to come.
Communication complete, next communication frequency will be notified later, I wish you luck, over.”
After receiving the notification from the plane, Gao Yang said solemnly, “Understood, thank you, good luck, over.”
After ending communication with the people on the plane, Gao Yang switched back the frequency and then said to Nate, “This drop brought tents, food, and eighty Directional Mines.”
Directional anti-infantry mines were the preferred choice in the jungle; Gao Yang’s list for Uriyangko certainly included Directional Mines, and Uriyangko came through delivering eighty right away.
With these eighty mines, their camp would become a death zone.
