Mercenary's War

Chapter 2410 - 2386: This Feels So Damn Good

Inside the building that Gao Yang and his team were about to attack, there were people, but they maintained great restraint. It seemed that as long as they weren’t attacked, they would remain quiet, and keep doing so.If they didn’t know people were inside, Satan’s men might have fallen for it. There probably wouldn’t be too many casualties, but damage was almost a certainty.

But knowing there were people inside, the situation would naturally be different. Just maintain distance when firing rockets, protect themselves, and watch out for any retaliatory fire from inside, the problem could be thoroughly solved in a very short time.

Frey launched the first Cloud Burst Bomb, sending it through a window, emitting a very muffled explosion sound, shaking the ground briefly, but surprisingly, the building didn’t collapse.

Tommy aimed the 107 rocket launcher to his designated sector, with a range of roughly 200 meters. The rockets’ precision was very high, with almost every rocket accurately entering the room before exploding.

But the enemy’s counterattack finally began, actually starting the moment before the rocket fire.

Light and heavy machine guns, rifles, all fired toward Gao Yang and his team, there were even two AT-4 Rocket Launchers that could be fired indoors, but after the bombing from the Cloud Burst Bombs and rockets began, the shooting from inside quickly ceased.

The hiding enemies did try to stop Satan’s attack, but under suppression, they had no opportunity to succeed.

After the 107 rocket launcher exhausted all the rockets and the Cloud Burst Bombs were spent, the remaining enemies started shooting again, but there really weren’t many of them left.

Gao Yang had a condition known as firepower insufficiency phobia, so he tirelessly pursued heavy firepower, unrelentingly stacking heavy firepower for Satan, and steadfastly improving Satan’s short-time heavy firepower output capacity.

Now, Gao Yang’s efforts paid off. Whether in the initial stage of the operation’s bombardment or the close combat stage with rocket launcher direct fire and Cloud Burst Bomb spot clearance, they all achieved excellent effects.

Previously, Satan had to clear room by room in such indoor combat, but now with overwhelming firepower, they could just storm in and finish off the remaining enemies.

Even if all enemies weren’t killed by explosions, they were certainly disoriented, making the subsequent combat akin to beating a drowning dog, a very fitting description.

But Gao Yang wasn’t ready to end it yet, as Satan had acquired a new, very useful method, Yuri’s Sniper Grenade Launcher.

The 35mm rifle grenade isn’t exactly heavy firepower, but it’s definitely stronger than a bullet. Even if it’s the equivalent of a grenade’s power, it’s only part of an infantry’s light firepower system. However, with very high precision, being able to accurately hit near an enemy before exploding, with an explosion radius large enough to cover a small room, the Sniper Grenade Launcher could count as heavy firepower.

The rifle couldn’t resolve the issue that the Sniper Grenade Launcher could solve perfectly. So, before ordering the final assault, Gao Yang instructed Yuri to target each room with the Sniper Grenade Launcher.

It really was one by one, room by room. At 200 meters, a grenade couldn’t be thrown that far, the rocket launcher’s rate of fire was slow, and they couldn’t carry too many, and it wasn’t as precise as the Sniper Grenade Launcher. Yuri did fill a very important firepower gap.

As Yuri sent rifle grenades into each room, Li Jinfang, standing by Gao Yang’s side, couldn’t help saying, "This fight is too easy, I feel like I’m losing my purpose."

The problems that previously required Li Jinfang and his assaulters to solve at great risk were now easily solved with heavy firepower. It’s no wonder Li Jinfang felt a slight crisis of being replaced.

Gao Yang didn’t consider replacing some roles of assaulters a bad thing, as he still thought the heavy firepower wasn’t enough.

"It’s a pity that we only have short-time heavy firepower bursts; our instantaneous heavy firepower is very strong, but our sustainability is too weak. It would be perfect if we could continue the bombardment."

Mercenaries are still light infantry; they can only carry limited heavy firepower. This remains a major disappointment for Gao Yang, one that seems impossible to resolve.

After a few casual words with Li Jinfang, Yuri had already cleared all the rooms. Then Gao Yang finally said, "Let’s go!"

With a wave of his hand, Satan advanced in a Chain Hammer Tactics formation.

Crossing the short distance of nearly 200 meters, Gao Yang and his team didn’t encounter any attacks.

The main fight was decided, but the final cleanup was necessary. Satan’s team split into small groups, covering each other as they stormed into each room.

Short bursts of gunfire frequently rang out, signals of the final clean-up shots being fired, and Gao Yang’s radio started receiving sporadic reports.

"Zone One cleared, safe."

"Zone Two cleared, safe."

After the rapid clearing operation, Gao Yang and his team finally entered the room with the concealed trapdoor.

The room with the trapdoor, however, was empty of people. Gao Yang, Li Jinfang, Eileen, and Peter entered the room, which was small and easily surveyed. After a brief search, Li Jinfang pointed to a corner and said, "There’s a trapdoor here."

The trapdoor was on the floor, measuring one meter wide by two meters long, composed of two movable iron plates, but with no handles on the plates, only narrow seams visible on the ground.

"This must be an underground trapdoor, we need to open it."

"Skunk, come open the door."

Upon Gao Yang’s call, Rafael quickly stepped in, observed the ground for a moment, then started placing C4 on the floor, signaling with his hand.

"High-power charge to directly breach it, move back a bit, be careful."

After quickly warning Gao Yang and the others, Rafael waved his hand and said loudly, "Alright, let’s get out!"

Everyone exited the room, and after Rafael pressed the detonator, Satan’s team stormed back in, battle-ready.

The iron plates were very thick, reaching an astonishing ten centimeters. Such thick plates couldn’t be lifted manually, so a hydraulic machine controlled them. However, even the thickest door loses its function when blown open with its foundation.

One plate remained in place while the other crashed through the adjacent wall, falling into another room.

The team navigated around the exposed hole in the floor, and Gao Yang and his team instinctively took out all their grenades. Sharing a knowing smile, they casually tossed the grenades into the opening.

Not needing to worry about rescuing hostages; just pure action, how satisfying!
