The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 611 - 604: The Group of Five
Chapter 611: Chapter 604: The Group of Five
Communication control was lifted, and the radio came to life; Gao Yuan could hear all the calls through his headset.
It was actually a bit awkward—clad in Brightflash Armor, Modao Saber in hand, a Gold Melon Hammer at his waist, Gao Yuan looked out of place with a modern headset, which could only be hung on his belt.
Either forfeit communication or ruin the look.
After some thought, Gao Yuan decided that contact was more important than appearance, so he eventually wore the walkie-talkie outside his armor.
But, on second thought, at least he hadn’t attached night vision goggles to his helmet.
When Gao Yuan heard Yang Yi say they had fallen for it, he felt as if he had dropped into an ice hole; his heart instantly turned cold.
Gao Yuan looked at Ram in surprise, but Ram’s face was hidden behind his mask, expression unseen.
Ram shook his head at Gao Yuan and then whispered, "Don’t worry, everything is under control."
Was everything really under control?
Black Devil along with the Blade of Satan’s crew, plus the Water Organization and Cerberus—Ram had used their strongest fighters as bait, and now, the Sanitation Worker had bitten.
But who was the fish, really?
But now, paying attention to these things was useless because there were only five minutes between the two helicopters taking off; that is to say, in just a few more minutes, Gao Yuan would face battle.
And it was bound to be the fiercest of battles.
Yang Yi’s voice rang out once more.
"Larry, you can hear me, right? So do you know that the real Celestials have come to Earth, the ones who left the Ark of the Covenant and the Revelation, and not the Serpent People trying to destroy us humans? Do you really think the Celestials would destroy mankind?"
Yang Yi didn’t mention the number of enemies, their location, or the distance—critical factors.
Gao Yuan was puzzled and said to Ram, "Why isn’t he saying where the enemies are?"
Ram replied calmly, "Can’t say, it would alert the enemies."
Ailin suddenly shouted, "Prepare for a forced landing outside the enemy encirclement; the assault distance will significantly increase, but we can’t land directly inside the encirclement."
Gao Yuan asked urgently, "What’s our tactic? What should I do after disembarking?"
Ram raised his voice slightly, "Give me ten seconds."
"Get ready!"
Ailin raised her voice as the helicopter began a sharp circling maneuver, adjusting the aircraft’s attitude for the narrow landing area.
Gao Yuan drew the Modao Saber from under his seat into his hand and picked up the shield lying flat on the ground.
Calling it a shield was a stretch—it was actually a piece of Armored Beast’s backplate, with four holes punched and two ropes fixed to it, measuring one and a half meters long and one meter wide, with rough edges. But as for bulletproofing? Definitely better than a standard shield, without a doubt.
Li Jinfang placed his hand on the cabin door handle.
Bullets suddenly pattered in, hitting the cabin wall and creating several holes in the door; however, because the bullets came from a lower angle, they pierced the helicopter’s wall and then burrowed directly into the ceiling.
Inside the helicopter, the snapping of bullets and the noise of penetration were incessant, but the helicopter landed heavily on the ground.
Li Jinfang yanked the door open, and Gao Yuan, who was right by the door, immediately leapt out.
This was planned, as not making use of Gao Yuan, a human-shaped tank, would have been a tactical blunder.
Gao Yuan jumped out of the helicopter, and then he was hit at least a dozen times in an instant.
Gao Yuan had fought in many battles and was a person who had seen much of the world, but the situation he now found himself in was one he had never seen before, nor had he ever imagined it.
The enemy wasn’t blind or deaf; upon discovering the sudden appearance of another helicopter, they naturally reacted, and their response was quick.
This was the base camp of the Sanitation Workers, the core of the camp, where the guards were numerous, very numerous.
In front of Gao Yuan was at least an entire platoon; these people urgently faced the helicopter and directed their gunfire towards it at the first opportunity, but the helicopter was able to withstand bullets under 7.62mm in caliber, and as for large-caliber machine guns or even autocannons, evidently, none were present here at the moment. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Gao Yuan’s task was to attract the enemy’s fire and buy ten seconds of time, a mission given by the Ram.
So after jumping out of the helicopter, Gao Yuan didn’t charge forward; he stopped and raised the Shield.
Satan’s ops, especially helicopter assaults on enemy positions, basically had two modes.
If the enemy was near, it was time to let out the Toads; if the enemy was far, it was time to release the Rams; there were no other options.
The Ram jumped out, and Gao Yuan could hear the sound and feel the presence of the Ram behind him, so he shifted the Shield sideways.
Then the Ram opened fire.
The enemy was densely packed, about a hundred metres distant from the script, more than twenty men, moving laterally, firing on the move while looking for cover, and their firing on the move was very accurate.
But as Gao Yuan shifted the Shield sideways, providing most of the Ram’s torso with protection and leaving only the upper part exposed for firing, the situation quickly reversed.
Continuous gunshots began to ring in Gao Yuan’s ears, and he watched as the enemies he was facing started to fall one by one.
It was an unscientific manner and result, but indeed, the enemies started to continuously fall over as if they had been struck by machine-gun fire, yet Grolyov had clearly not yet opened fire.
People in the helicopter continued to jump out, and moments later, Gao Yuan heard someone shout from behind, "Get down!"
Gao Yuan immediately crouched down, and as he did so, the Ram also crouched down simultaneously, and Grolyov set up the machine gun on the Shield that Gao Yuan had laid down on the ground.
This time it was a true burst of continuous fire, and accompanied by the sound of the machine gun’s shooting, the enemy who had just been firing at Gao Yuan fell like wheat before the scythe.
And the Ram kept firing; he entrusted the enemies nearby to Grolyov and selected the distant ones for himself.
The Blade of Satan moved rapidly from side to side as if it never stopped, yet the Ram clearly fired four shots.
He killed a machine gunner who was turning his gun barrel around, and he killed an artilleryman operating a 23mm autocannon on the roof.
These were the ones Gao Yuan saw. As for the other two shots, Gao Yuan had no idea who the Ram killed, nor did he know where the Ram was aiming at that moment.
"Stand up, hold the Shield sideways, and move forward slowly!"
Gao Yuan heard the Ram’s command, so he stood up with the Shield, straightened himself, held the Modao Saber in his right hand, and held the Shield sideways with his left, beginning to move forward slowly.
The Ram was to Gao Yuan’s rear right, Grolyov to his rear left, Li Jinfang directly behind Gao Yuan, with Ailin behind Li Jinfang.
Just these few people, no more.
The operational plan was adjusted several times; Fly was assigned to Tarta, because his recognizability was too high, and to make the enemy believe that Tarta was the Ram, the Ram gave up Fly, the grenadier.
And Xinghe, no matter where she was, was always the most important part of capturing the Ark of the Covenant, except she would participate in the seizure of the Ark but would not fight at the very forefront.
So, from the original plan of eight people, minus the pilot, seven people, subtracting Xinghe and Fly, in the end, there were just five.
