621: Chapter 614 Creating Conditions Part 1 621: Chapter 614 Creating Conditions Part 1 Rafael volunteered, but whether he could complete the remaining tasks for Frey depended on Gao Yang’s approval.
The enemy reinforcements were just pirates; they could easily be pushed back, but if the British sent reinforcements, the situation could be unpredictable.
Therefore, the two fortifications blocking the way had to be dealt with.
If possible, Gao Yang still hoped to attack the two fortifications from a distance for safety.
However, since Frey was temporarily unable to move, and the artillery and helicopters were ineffective under the extremely urgent circumstances, they had to take risks and attack up close.
Fighting was necessary, but how to fight needed careful consideration, especially the routes approaching the fortifications; they had to be well studied.
The remaining two fortifications were about thirty meters apart and had very good fields of fire, able to provide cover for each other, with almost no blind spots.
As long as they could get close to the enemy’s fortifications, it wasn’t necessarily required that Rafael do the bombing.
Once close, Gao Yang and his team could also shoot Cloud Burst Bombs into the firing holes or simply throw several grenades inside to resolve the issue.
The difficulty they were facing now really wasn’t a major scene that only Rafael and his C4 could solve.
With two fortifications blocking the way and getting close proving to be difficult, Gao Yang thought of several methods but immediately discarded them due to high risks, finding himself temporarily out of options.
After spending a minute unable to come up with a good plan and feeling that letting Rafael close in to blast the fortifications was too dangerous, Gao Yang reluctantly looked around, hoping to find a solution.
When he looked up and spotted the Mi-24 helicopter overhead, his eyes lit up.
Uriyangko had already launched rockets and anti-tank missiles at the fortifications to no avail, thus he stopped wasting ammunition.
However, Gao Yang suddenly thought that maybe the helicopter could serve another purpose.
Having no choice prompted a need for solutions, and with no conditions, they had to create conditions.
With a rough idea in mind, Gao Yang immediately said to Rafael, “Fork, if we perform an explosion on the rooftops of those two fortifications, could we collapse them both?”
Rafael thought briefly, then promptly replied, “Yes, no problem.”
Gao Yang immediately pointed to the helicopter overhead and asked, “And if we use the helicopter to drop your bombs on the rooftops and detonate them remotely, that would work too?”
Rafael’s eyes widened, glancing at Gao Yang and then at the helicopter overhead before he slowly nodded and said, “In that case, I need to make a bigger bomb, but I think it should still be okay.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “Very good, see what you can use and hurry up with it.”
Rafael had only two blocks of C4 left, but on the battlefield, how could he possibly run out of materials?
Disassembling the shells provided the materials he needed; for close combat, Rafael dismantled over twenty mortar shells.
If Rafael were to carry out the demolition, he could choose the location and use a small amount of Fake Medicine to solve the problem.
However, if the plane were to drop the bomb, unable to precisely choose the location for detonation, then the power of the bomb had to be increased.
Rafael didn’t talk much; he immediately squatted on the ground, took out items from his bag, and began to urgently manufacture.
Meanwhile, Gao Yang spoke into the radio, “Thunderbolt, is it possible to have someone go up in the sky and drop bombs from there?”
Uriyangko paused briefly before saying in astonishment, “Carry people into the sky?
Drop bombs?
Ram, you really dare to think big.”
Gao Yang helplessly said, “Our enemies have no anti-aircraft firepower, and they also haven’t paid much attention to the air.
Approaching from the ground is too dangerous.
I think dropping from the air might be a solution, but you guys only brought rockets and missiles, no bombs, so I have no other choice.
The only question is, can you do it?”
“It’s risky, but we can try it.
We’ll keep people in the cabin, I’ll open the side cabin door, fly low over the target, and drop the bombs.
However, your men must seize the opportunity because we can’t hover, only fly low and fast.”
“Let’s try it.
You land, pick up my men, our current location is very safe for landing.”
After coming to an agreement with Uriyangko, Gao Yang turned to Rafael and asked, “What do you think, are you confident?”
Rafael divided the fake medicine into two parts, making two bombs.
Hearing Gao Yang’s query, Rafael urgently replied, “Not a big problem.
The enemy’s rooftops are covered with too much sand.
Although it can withstand mortar shells and rockets, it can’t withstand strong vibrations.
As long as you drop it in the right place, the rooftops should collapse.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said loudly, “Good, get on the helicopter and drop the bombs on the rooftops.”
While they were talking, Polovich had already landed the helicopter on the open ground behind them.
After handing Gao Yang a remote detonator, Rafael hurriedly said, “You detonate it.
Make sure to time it right.
Be careful, everything is activated now, just don’t blow up me and the helicopter.”
After speaking, Rafael, carrying a newly made bomb in each hand, ran to the helicopter.
The Mi-24 is not only an armed helicopter but also capable of carrying eight fully armed soldiers.
Strictly speaking, it is an armed transport helicopter.
For a major country, the Mi-24’s transport capability is somewhat unimpressive, but for mercenaries, there is no better helicopter than the Mi-24.
The doors of the helicopter’s cabin were already open.
After Rafael ran into the helicopter, he immediately said over the intercom, “We can take off now, buddy, I hope you fly well.”
The helicopter took off from the ground, the cabin doors remained open.
After gaining some altitude, it circled around.
Once the helicopter’s nose was aligned with the two targets in a straight line, it immediately flew over at an ultra-low altitude, just about thirty meters above the ground, which is almost skimming the surface for a helicopter.
Rafael watched the ground anxiously.
The Mi-24 is a high-speed helicopter, and even at its slowest speed, it is quite fast.
For Rafael, who had to manually drop bombs, the opportunity would be fleeting.
When the helicopter flew over the rooftops, which were just over twenty meters high, if he didn’t miss the timing, it wouldn’t be difficult to accurately drop the bombs.
After Rafael dropped the bombs one after the other with both hands, the helicopter immediately began to climb.
Rafael, leaning on the cabin door and looking down, confirmed that both bombs had indeed landed on the rooftop, then loudly said over the intercom, “Dropped them, very accurate!”
Upon receiving Rafael’s message, Gao Yang immediately opened the cover of the detonator button.
It was his second time using it, and he was quite familiar with it.
Once the helicopter had flown to a safe distance, Gao Yang immediately pressed the detonator.
The two bombs exploded simultaneously, sounding as one, and indeed, just as Rafael had described, although the walls remained intact, the rooftops collapsed thunderously.
The sand on the rooftops was blasted into the sky, and as it fell, it looked like a sandstorm was raining down.
