Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2392 - 2368: Can You Give Us Some Reaction?

Yuri took the initiative, scoring four out of four with the Sniper Grenade Launcher, instantly bewildering the garrison that was fully prepared and waiting in the military camp.

The bunker was originally the main defense barrier, but at this time it became the first target to be attacked, and they didn’t even know what hit them. In a night battle, being the side without vision, the garrison’s morale was immediately shattered.

The machine gun rattled, soldiers darted left and right, but nothing was meaningful.

After Yuri took out four bunkers, it was time for Cui Bo and the other snipers to shine. A few sniper rifles fired in succession, quickly clearing out the sentries at the gate of the military camp.

There wasn’t much danger, and after hesitating for a moment, Gao Yang finally shouted, "Assault team, go! Dagger Assault Team, stand by."

The Dagger Assault Team was originally meant to be used as cannon fodder, but after the garrison lost their combat strength, sending in cannon fodder would just waste time. Especially since the enemy didn’t have night vision capability, sending in Satan’s own assault team would achieve the combat objective quicker and better, so Gao Yang simply deployed the assault team.

The assault team formed two lines and approached the camp’s gate cautiously but swiftly.

The machine gun emplacement, initially the biggest threat, could not fire at all now. The combined suppression from the 60mm mortar, Sniper Grenade Launcher, three snipers, and a machine gun rendered the enemy completely unable to mount any effective counterattack.

In fact, Satan’s suppression fire wasn’t strong, but its accuracy was frighteningly high, which endowed even the sparse firepower with incredible suppressive power.

"Report, we’ve approached the gate. Do we enter? Please advise, over!"

Li Jinfang’s voice sounded in the headset. Gao Yang stopped shooting and said on the radio, "Cease fire, stand by."

Gao Yang issued a rather inexplicable command, but Li Jinfang still waved his hand and halted at the military camp’s gate instead of storming in.

"Too simple, too easy, it’s so easy that I think something’s not right."

After whispering his concerns on the radio, Gao Yang said quietly, "Toad, survey the area and see if there’s anything unusual."

Yuri’s attack was indeed effective, but the battle was still a little too easy, so easy that Gao Yang started to worry it might be a trap.

"Big Bird!"

"Boss, reconnaissance shows no anomalies, no one behind the gate, really no one..."

Jansen was also stunned. He looked at the computer screen and confirmed once again that no ambush was hiding behind the gate, then said, "I’ll adjust the angle and height again; I’ll confirm once more."

Gao Yang put down his gun, rubbed his forehead, and said, "What are the enemies trying to do? Let us in and then fight street battles inside the camp? Otherwise, this doesn’t make sense. They should either surrender or resist. We’ve come knocking at their gate, and there’s no reaction. What does this count as a reaction? Can anyone tell me what this counts as a reaction?"

No one could answer Gao Yang’s question. Glolov leaned on the machine gun, looking solemn, and said, "Big Bird, immediately expand the search range and see if the enemy plans to encircle us!"

Jansen controlled the drone to gain more altitude, then said loudly, "Report, still no anomalies, absolutely no signs of any activity, there’s nothing!"

Glolov mumbled, "Ram, let’s pull our assault team back, I think there’s definitely something wrong."

Gao Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Toad, lead the assault team back a bit, absolutely do not enter the camp without orders."

After issuing the command to Li Jinfang, Gao Yang turned and shouted to Salim behind him, "Brother, how many people are in this camp?"

Salim looked puzzled and said, "There should be over two thousand people in this camp now."

Gao Yang raised his hand, extremely troubled, and said, "Listen to me once to see if I’ve missed anything. This camp is the largest and also the most important camp in Sana’a."

"Yes."

"At its peak, there were nearly six thousand people in it, and usually, a force of over four thousand is stationed inside!"

"Correct."

"Usually, there are about four thousand troops in it, tasked with defending Sana’a. Even if most of the troops have been redeployed, there should be at least two thousand soldiers inside, right?"

"That’s right."

Gao Yang exhaled and shouted to Salim, "Now, we’re fighting at the camp gate. There are over two thousand people in this camp, yet no one is coming out, no one is continuing the fight, no one is organizing a second or third line of defense. There’s not even anyone moving inside the camp! What’s going on? Are all two thousand people inside deaf, not hearing they’re being attacked? Or are they sleeping so soundly they don’t want to get up to see what’s going on outside, even if people entering would take them out!"

Gao Yang felt his brain was about to explode. He’s seen competent and incompetent troops before, and he knew just how useless some units could be. That’s why he felt this camp, even if filled with two thousand pigs, should let out a grunt by now.

As long as there were some normal commotions in the camp, Gao Yang wouldn’t be afraid. Whether fierce resistance or rivers of blood, he didn’t fear any of that. What he feared was this terrifyingly quiet, eerily silent situation.

Even the most wasteful army should have some kind of reaction, right? Either surrender or resist. This kind of situation where there’s a fierce battle outside, but the people inside seem oblivious—what is this!

Five minutes went by, nine minutes went by, and almost ten minutes after the attack, it was still silent inside the camp.

Gao Yang looked at Salim again, becoming very anxious, and shouted loudly, "Are you sure no one has left inside?"

Salim nodded, shouting back, "Absolutely no one has left; we’ve been monitoring it all along."

Gao Yang checked his watch, took a deep breath, and said, "Toad, withdraw quickly, there are ghosts in there! Definitely ghosts!"

"Understood! Withdrawing immediately! This place... really isn’t right; we’re withdrawing immediately!"

Just then, Jansen suddenly said, "Boss, something’s happening!"

Gao Yang perked up. Whether good or bad news, any activity was better, much better than the terrifying silence!

"What happened, is it the enemy’s hidden force launching an attack?"

Gao Yang’s tone was no longer confused but had finally become decisive again.

"I can’t quite understand it; you better look for yourself, Boss."

Jansen ran in front of Gao Yang with the controller and then whispered, "Look, someone came out of this house, six people in total, but they are walking very slowly."

Six people emerged from a building and ambled out. The camp area was very large, and those people were still a thousand meters away from the gate in a straight line, but the eerie thing was that they walked very steadily, as if the battle at the gate had nothing to do with them.

Gao Yang and Jansen exchanged a glance, both seeing the same confusion in each other’s eyes. Finally, Gao Yang made up his mind. He turned to Tommy and said harshly, "Worker Bee! Hit them with a round!"
