863: Chapter 853: Knowing the Other, One Is Not in Peril.
No one likes a traitor, not even the enemy’s.
They’re extremely detestable, and no one can respect such a character, so Glolov’s tone was utterly scornful.
Jinfang also expressed his disgust, “Being sold out to this extent, the Iron Madonna’s team is done for, but that traitor, hey!”
Andy He said indifferently, “A mercenary group capable of producing a traitor, haha, there’s nothing much to say.
I don’t think they have strong cohesion, nor do I believe a force without cohesion possesses strong combat capability.”
Gao Yang first gave a thumbs up, then clapped, saying, “That’s right.
A mercenary group that could harbor a traitor has no future.
However, to be fair, when the forest is big, all kinds of birds will be found.
Iron Madonna’s group is large and has many people, so it’s not too strange that a traitor emerged.
But we need to understand that just because Iron Madonna has a traitor, it doesn’t mean that the squad specialized in jungle warfare isn’t united.
Quick Hand, you don’t quite understand the mercenary circle yet.
Maintaining absolute cohesion in a small group is relatively easy.”
At this moment, Friend of Nature whispered, “Ram, you still have some information to read.”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “Oh, the remaining part is marked as important intelligence.
The main event, you got to save for last, right?”
Before the battle, it was important to maintain a relaxed state.
Gao Yang saw that the remaining documents were separately bound and there was a cover hint for an important person’s profile, so he wanted to boost morale first.
This way, when reading about what could be very formidable opponents next, it wouldn’t dampen spirits and his listeners could face potentially very tough enemies with a light heart.
After switching to a new stack of documents, Gao Yang glanced down, chuckled, and said, “This profile is detailed…
wow, it’s actually a woman!
Name: Millie, nickname: Scalpel, hails from Sweden, fair-skinned and beautiful, primary weapon: S.T.A.R-21, skilled with a scalpel, can use it like a throwing knife, former medic from the Swedish Special Operations Task Group, has 6 years of military experience, adept at mid-range shooting, has emergency medical skills and good battlefield surgery capabilities, and she’s beautiful!”
After reading, Gao Yang frowned and addressed everyone, “Don’t laugh at me, this is what’s written in the intelligence report.
But that’s odd, if this is about important personnel, it should be commanders or particularly strong fellows.
However, it doesn’t seem like this beauty Millie should be specifically highlighted, right?”
Cui Bo joked, “How is she not an important person?
In a mercenary group, a woman is an important figure!
Are Eileen and Lucica not important?
Let me put it this way, among mercenaries, as long as you’re a woman, even if you’re as ugly as a pig, you’re an important figure!”
Just as Cui Bo finished speaking, Eileen’s face changed, and she snapped, “Rabbit, what do you mean?”
Not only Eileen’s but Lucica’s face also soured.
She involuntarily reached into her bag for her handgun and said in a low and cold voice, “Rabbit, explain yourself!”
Suddenly realizing his mistake, Cui Bo hurriedly said, “Misunderstanding!
A huge misunderstanding!
I meant in other mercenary groups…
No, beautiful women are always important.
No!
I mean, both of you are beautiful!
Gorgeous!
I swear I’m telling the truth!
If I lie, may I crash and die in a plane accident!”
Cui Bo made a big blunder, but his timely correction had a good effect.
Eileen and Lucica didn’t care about his original intention; they just needed Cui Bo to clarify that the ‘ugly as a pig’ comment wasn’t directed at them.
Though Cui Bo had placated the women, he had offended all the men, especially Gao.
Having survived a plane crash, Gao was sensitive to the word ‘crash’, extremely so.
Upon hearing Cui Bo’s words, he shouted, “You idiotic thing, if you can’t speak properly, shut your bird beak!
Bad luck!
Toad, beat him until he learns to talk!”
“We’ll have smooth sailing, a peaceful journey, and triumphantly return victorious!
Guys, what I just said was true, so swearing isn’t a problem, bro, go easy on me, yeah!”
After watching Lee Jinfang land a couple of hard knocks on Cui Bo’s head, Gao annoyed, continued, “Alright, keep reading.”
Upon turning over a new page, Gao Yang was stunned, “F**k!
No way, another woman?
Are all these so-called important figures actually women?
Dima, born in Russia’s Alpha, once a high-ranking agent, combat expert, fire assault specialist, trained extensively in jungle warfare, huh, she’s also quite pretty.
Don’t look at me, the intelligence says so.
Guys, I bet that Iron Madonna’s traitorous betrayer is definitely a lecher!
Lucky you didn’t make a bet with me.”
After making a quip to everyone, Gao Yang turned another page and sighed, “Looks like I really guessed it right.
Listen carefully, guys, Elysee Lena, female, 29 years old, very pretty but fierce.
Skilled in demolition and vehicle driving, originating from the American SEALs, professionally trained in underwater demolition, adept at amphibious warfare, good at jungle warfare, and capable of piloting small and ultra-small boats.
However, she talks too much, which is a downside; oh, and one more thing, she’s very open, easy to get along with!
F**k, that traitor is definitely a lecher; good thing you didn’t bet with me.”
Frey said with a chuckle, “No one was going to take that bet anyway; we would all bet on that traitor being a lecher.
‘Easy to get along with,’ heh, now I’m curious about that traitor.
Betraying their own intimate partner, what a scumbag.”
Eileen disdainfully said, “Maybe the traitor is a complete loser, angry because he can’t get with an ‘easy’ woman, so he betrays his comrades.
It’s very possible.”
Having finished the briefing, Gao Yang spread his hands and said, “Well, thanks to Justin and that traitor from Iron Madonna, we now know the enemy’s personnel makeup.
With that, their firepower distribution and combat deployment are basically no secrets anymore.
Bat, can you formulate a targeted battle plan?”
Lucica tilted her head in thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “Basically, I can imagine how they will fight.
As long as these people really understand jungle warfare, then their way of fighting is no secret.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “Good, guys, start getting ready.
If anyone didn’t catch everything just now, you can go over the information again.”
At that moment, Friend of Nature said, “Let’s look at it separately.
Give me a part of it.
I need to share this intelligence with my people—it will definitely help them.”
Gao Yang handed the information over to Friend of Nature and then began strapping on his combat gear, waiting until he was fully armed before carefully shouldering his parachute pack.
After helping each other check their equipment, especially the parachute packs, Gao Yang and the others took their seats again, just waiting for the moment to airdrop.
The person who had been busy with communications suddenly shouted, “We’ve got the latest coordinates, but they absolutely can’t stop to clear a landing zone!”
Friend of Nature asked anxiously, “They can’t clear a landing zone?
How far are we from them?”
“No more than forty minutes away, and they don’t have much time left!”
Friend of Nature stood up involuntarily from his seat, his voice quivering as he said, “Forty minutes will definitely not be enough, especially since they absolutely can’t stop.
What do we do?”
Gao Yang said in a stern voice, “Don’t panic.
As long as the plane has fuel, we can keep circling and waiting!
You don’t understand warfare, so you can’t help.
Just shut up, get the intelligence to your people, and then wait quietly!”
Friend of Nature immediately sat back down and kept silent.
By this time, Gao Yang had effectively taken command, so he said to the communication officer, “Recite the intelligence quickly!”
As everyone listened carefully to the communications officer recite the intelligence to reinforce their memory, and after it was done, the communications officer paused for a moment before speaking urgently to Gao Yang, “Huan says he knows, our Huan says he’s going to try and set up a blockade to buy time to open up a landing zone!”
Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “Tell Huan we can wait.
Have him initiate the blockade if it’s safe to do so, but if it’s really impossible to prepare the landing zone, tell him to just keep running.”
After he finished speaking, Gao Yang said to Friend of Nature, “We need to prepare for both scenarios.
Go tell the pilot that once we reach the area above the target zone, search for any natural places fit for an airdrop before we get to a critical level of fuel consumption.
We’ll keep waiting until then.”
Friend of Nature asked blankly, “What if we can neither clear the landing zone nor find a natural area suitable for parachuting?”
Gao Yang replied coldly, “Return to base, refuel, and come back.
Repeat the process until the last person dies.
Go!”
After sending Friend of Nature off to the cockpit, Gao Yang sat next to the communications officer and said with a serious tone, “Give me the phone.
I want to talk to them myself.”
The communications officer had been urgently speaking on a satellite phone, and upon hearing Gao Yang, he looked stunned for a moment before pulling the satellite phone away from his ear and extending his hand holding the phone toward Gao Yang with a shocked expression, “The call dropped.”
Gao Yang, impatient, asked, “What do you mean ‘dropped’?”
Gao Yang put the phone to his ear, only to hear the constant beep of a busy signal, while the communications officer, with a look of despair, said, “It dropped.
The call was cut off just as you finished speaking.”
Gao Yang handed the phone back to the communications officer and said sternly, “Redial.
We have a radio, right?
Turn on the radio.
If we’re close enough, we can contact them.
Keep calling them.”
After finishing, Gao Yang looked out of the window.
They were flying at a relatively low altitude, around three thousand meters.
From this height, he could only see an endless green expanse below, with no sign of any clearing on the ground.
The communications officer kept dialing the phone, but it was no longer possible to get through.
He was also continuously trying to call via the radio, but only electromagnetic static could be heard.
Though the aircraft’s radio was powerful, the few people on the ground who urgently needed rescue only had handheld terminals, which had lower power and were hindered by the rainforest canopy.
Even if the people on the ground received the calls from the aircraft, they couldn’t send information back.
However, as the distance closed, they should eventually be able to make contact, and it all depended on whether they could hold out and clear the landing zone.
