662: Chapter 654: Out of Ammo 662: Chapter 654: Out of Ammo “Support!
Support!
Need a rocket launcher to take out the enemy’s cars!”
Just as Gao Yang had asked where support was needed, Glolov yelled out loud.
The task of stopping the Rebel Army coming from the west along the highway was almost entirely up to the members of the Satan Mercenary Corps, while the Rebel Army approaching from the highway behind Gao Yang and his team almost always arrived in vehicles.
Gao Yang quickly redirected his gun from the south to the west, while Frey finally took out the first M72 rocket launcher he had been carrying.
From among the vehicles that the Rebel Army had stopped, a markedly different sedan drove out.
This car had steel plates attached to its front, and it breached the hastily assembled Rebel Army line, heading straight towards Gao Yang and his crew.
Using suicide bombers and car bombs was a common tactic of the Rebel Army.
They absolutely couldn’t allow that car, which was surely packed with explosives, to get close; if it did, everything would be over.
Gao Yang began to fire rapidly, and Glolov’s machine gun also continuously targeted the car, but their bullets couldn’t penetrate the reinforced steel plates on the car.
It seemed the only thing that could solve the problem now was a rocket launcher.
Just then, as Cui Bo’s Barrett M82A1M repeatedly fired, the car, which wasn’t moving very quickly due to its heavy weight, took a turn towards the roadside farmland and quickly came to a halt.
Equipped with armor-piercing bullets, Cui Bo’s rifle had a strong penetration capability, and armor-piercing bullets were a must-carry for Cui Bo on every mission.
This time, they were finally put to use.
The bullets Cui Bo fired didn’t just kill the driver; the following burst from the machine guns hit the car’s engine area.
Though covered with steel plates, they were ineffective against the sub-caliber sabot armor-piercing bullets fired from the 12.7mm caliber Barrett M82A1M, so the car loaded with explosives was completely stopped.
The position where the car was stopped was still five hundred meters away from Gao Yang and his team.
There were still Rebel Army troops in front of the car, and since the car was halted before completely leaving the Rebel Army’s position, Gao Yang didn’t need to worry about the large explosion that would follow if the car with explosives was detonated.
Next, it was Gao Yang’s time to perform; the enemy closest to him was less than three hundred meters away.
Gao Yang kept firing his rifle, shooting fifteen bullets in one breath, and confirmed fourteen hits.
One Rebel Army member ran so fast that Gao Yang wasted a bullet, but that was just one wasted bullet.
His second shot still took down that rapidly fleeing Rebel Army fighter.
After continuously taking down all the infantry, Gao Yang temporarily ceased fire and yelled at Cui Bo, “Rabbit!
Are you f**king stupid, use armor-piercing incendiary rounds!
Try to detonate the explosives in that car!”
Cui Bo helplessly responded, “I don’t have any incendiary armor-piercing rounds, I only have armor-piercing bullets, I didn’t bring any incendiaries.”
Gao Yang immediately turned his head and shouted at the lieutenant, “Go get an RPG, I know you still have them!”
The lieutenant didn’t understand what Gao Yang was saying, but he understood RPG, which was a universal term around the world, so he didn’t wait for Raja to translate and ran towards the area where the government forces were located more to the east.
The officer returned quickly with two RPG shooters; one looked at the car’s position, immediately shook his head, and after another aimed for a while, he also shook his head vehemently and began to speak.
Raja shouted, “He says the distance is too far, they can’t hit.”
Gao Yang gestured to Frey with a wave of his hand, and Frey immediately ran over and reached out to take an RPG from one of the rocket launcher shooters.
The M72 Frey carried had a too short range; it couldn’t guarantee accuracy at five hundred meters, unlike the RPG-7.
Raja said a few words, and the shooter quickly handed over the RPG to Frey.
After taking it, Frey kneeled on one knee, aimed briefly, and fired the RPG.
The car was ignited by the high pressure and high temperature of the armor-piercing shell.
Following an extremely intense explosion, it was unlikely anyone within a diameter of one hundred meters around the car could survive.
For the moment, the Rebel Army coming from the west was unlikely to launch a new offensive.
Gao Yang glanced over; the western Rebel Army, already crippled by his fire, had no possibility of attacking again.
“I’m going to check the south side.”
After shouting to everyone, Gao Yang grabbed his gun and left, and the lieutenant officer, seeing Gao Yang’s movements, immediately followed, with Raja, serving as Gao Yang’s personal translator, of course also keeping pace.
Gao Yang ran quickly along the highway to the government forces’ main position, where Tommy was still commanding seven or eight soldiers operating two mortars.
Upon seeing Gao Yang, Tommy shouted, “We’re low on shells, the enemy is spread out; I need to conserve the shells.”
After making a gesture to Tommy, Gao Yang dove to the ground, and just then, an officer with the rank of first lieutenant started jabbering at him loudly.
“He says he’s the highest commander here.
The reinforcements encountered an attack at three kilometers ahead; he just received the news, but the enemy’s attack isn’t aggressive.
It doesn’t seem to be an ambush targeting the reinforcements, just an attempt to delay their rescue speed.
We just need to hold against the Rebel Army’s fierce assault, and help will come,” Raja translated.
After hearing Raja’s translation, Gao Yang didn’t make any moves, as he was in a hurry to clear out targets that were easy to shoot.
After emptying the magazine, Gao Yang shouted, “Ask him, how much longer until the reinforcements arrive?”
“Twenty minutes, no more than twenty minutes, they’ll definitely make it.”
“Okay, we’ll hold on, we definitely won’t have a problem.
F**k, I’m out of bullets!”
While talking, Gao Yang loaded a new magazine, only to realize he had only one last Armor-piercing Bullet, while his most used long-distance bullets were all gone.
Gao Yang brought ten magazines, a total of two hundred bullets, and hadn’t spent a single bullet in previous battles, but here, in less than half an hour’s time, he had actually gone through nine magazines and one hundred eighty bullets.
Gao Yang was himself surprised by how many bullets he had unknowingly fired.
Gao Yang clicked as he attached the last full magazine and immediately shouted to the lieutenant beside him, “Do you have any 7.62X51mm bullets?
Do you?!”
The lieutenant shook his head blankly, and Gao Yang, out of options, yelled into the radio, “Big Dog, give me a belt of ammo; I’m out of bullets!”
After shouting into the radio, Gao Yang turned and yelled to the lieutenant beside him, “Have your men get me a Dragunov, the SVD!
Hand me your rifles, and send two people to pick up my empty magazines from my former position.
Load the machine gun belt bullets into them and be careful; don’t mix up the ammunition, don’t put tracer bullets in the magazines for me!”
Having spoken in a rush, Gao Yang immediately bent down and fired quickly because the Rebel Army had launched a new offensive.
Now, the Rebel Army must resolve this battle before the government forces’ reinforcements arrived.
In less than a minute, Gao Yang had finished his last twenty bullets, and just then, the government forces’ sniper who had watched him shooting passed his own rifle over to Gao Yang, shouting, “Use my gun; there’s plenty of ammo left!” (To be continued.
