Mercenary's War

Shock grenades pave the way; this trick is very useful. That’s why shock grenades are popular worldwide. Everyone knows a good thing when they see one.

Gao Yang was extremely familiar with shock grenades. Among those who know how to minimize the effects of a shock grenade, he is definitely one of the best in the world.

Therefore, Gao Yang’s eyes weren’t blinded, his ears weren’t deafened, and he certainly wasn’t knocked out by the shock.

He opened his eyes, and Gao Yang’s hand was still on the ground. He only waited for a moment, just one or two seconds, when six people with leather headgear came in from both sides of the door he crashed through with his car.

Three on each side, but unlike most CQB battles Gao Yang had experienced, the first person in front of each group carried a large shield, almost hiding their entire body behind it. The companions following them each held a submachine gun, with only the muzzle exposed outside the shield.

This was a rare assault tactic, presumably because the ones in leather headgear already knew the person inside had excellent gunmanship but there was only one of him. So they sent six people for the attack. Against one person, six attackers are not few, and they adopted an almost unsolvable method of attack.

What does "almost unsolvable" mean? It looks formidable, sounds formidable, but to some people, it’s still a solvable problem, so this tactic is only nearly unsolvable, not truly unsolvable.

Because Gao Yang could shoot their feet.

Lying on his side on the ground, Gao Yang not only had the car’s front as cover but also could shoot their feet from the ground.

Hitting the small, quick steps of feet isn’t easy, but with less than two centimeters of gap below the shield, Gao Yang had to aim for the feet.

Bang bang, two shots and two feet hit, then Gao Yang swiftly shifted his aim and fired another two shots. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The one on the right with the shield fell forward onto the ground, while the one on the left with the shield had only one foot hit, so he hopped up on one leg.

Anyone who gets shot in the foot will instinctively jump, even if it’s just a hop, but Gao Yang seized the opportunity.

The shield on the right fell down, exposing the person behind while simultaneously allowing space to fire. The shield on the left was still upright, but the movements of the one holding it disrupted his teammate behind. So, he targeted the right first.

Bang bang bang bang, four shots. Gao Yang targeted their arms first to incapacitate their hands holding the guns, more important than killing them, since those in leather headgear wore bulletproof vests. Their entire bodies were tightly protected, leaving only their limbs and neck exposed.

He first shot the arms of the two attack team members on the right, then fired two more shots, one creating a massive split in the shield-holder’s right hand, and Gao Yang then fired a fourth shot at the second team member’s knee on the right.

By this time, Gao Yang no longer had the opportunity to continue firing to the right because those on the left had already emerged, prompting him to repeat his strategy: arm first, then legs.

Anyone caught off guard will be bewildered; that’s a given. But it doesn’t matter how elite they are; if you suddenly see all your companions inexplicably fall down beside you, anyone who can remain calm and act completely according to training is definitely not human.

Gao Yang had a very advantageous position; he had protection from the car’s front and wheels. The intruders couldn’t immediately shoot him unless they knelt or lay down, so Gao Yang had ample time to fire five shots to the left, then redirected to fire one more shot to the right.

Six people came in total; Gao Yang’s gun had fifteen bullets, and he fired fourteen, leaving one for emergencies. Gao Yang then braced himself with his hand and jumped up, finally grabbing a gun placed on the car’s front.

The person on the left holding the shield had his right hand drenched in blood; he let go of the shield and reached for his gun with his left hand. Gao Yang immediately fired his last bullet from his right hand and quickly set that gun down on the car’s front. He then swung his left hand holding another gun before his right hand reached around his back to pull out a pistol.

Gao Yang had four guns.

"Don’t move! Move again, and I’ll blow your face off!"

The ones in leather headgear absolutely understood English; Gao Yang was sure of this. If Italy’s elite teams couldn’t master several foreign languages, that would be ridiculous.

After yelling this, someone still attempted to resist. A left-handed gunman got shot in the left wrist, so when he grabbed the gun handle with his right hand, Gao Yang had to fire another shot.

With a shot fired, Gao Yang shouted angrily, "You don’t doubt my abilities, do you? Don’t move!"

Gao Yang showed restraint; at the start, he had to shoot their feet because of the angle, then the hands to immediately nullify their ability to fire. Such actions are challenging and extremely difficult. No one else would have made these choices, but he could.

Thus, Gao Yang gained a highly advantageous position for himself. He subdued all the intruders without killing even one.

Not killing even one of those in leather headgear was crucial. If these people died, it wouldn’t be surprising if the subsequent attackers used rocket launchers or bombs to pave the way.

Those who came in certainly had walkie-talkies. Gao Yang loudly commanded, "Inform them of your situation, quickly! Speak in English, hurry!"

No one spoke; a moment of silence followed. Gao Yang fired one more shot, hitting one attack team member’s leg.

Blood sprayed, and a team member already wounded in both hand and leg couldn’t help but cry out, then loudly said, "The attack failed! We’re all injured, we..., no casualties, everyone’s hand and leg are injured, the opponent isn’t human! Our opponent isn’t human..."

Gao Yang exhaled and nodded, "Thank you for the compliment."

The team member who finally spoke buried his head on the ground, motionless.

Then, Gao Yang shouted, "Using your good hand, toss me a walkie-talkie, hurry!"

One of the shield-bearers painfully said, "The radio system is fixed on the back waist and inconvenient to detach."

Gao Yang set his left-hand gun on the car’s front, picked up the gun with spent bullets, pressed to eject the empty magazine, and then quickly replenished it from the magazine on his waist. After reloading, he exhaled and loudly said, "Now, notify your commander and tell him you’re already my hostages."

After speaking, Gao Yang shouted, "Doctor! Doctor! Come over here, come here."

The doctor slowly came over from behind the car, hands up. Gao Yang loudly instructed, "Retrieve all the guns around them for me, then you and your colleague can leave because I now have new hostages. Do as I say because I don’t want to hurt you, hurry up!"
