Chapter 0696 - Support
In the early hours of the morning, the battle against the Coast Guardian Pirate Group officially began, and under the command of the captain, the mercenaries began to strike at four villages on the coast of the Gulf of Aden, where the pirates were stationed.
The Jungle Warriors, the Icewolf, and the Hand of God each dealt with one, and the Captain led the rest of his troops to attack the largest stronghold, and everything went according to plan.
As soon as midnight arrived, the rumbling sound of artillery broke the silence of the night, four troops moved at the same time, under the bombardment of a dozen mortars, those villages were turned into ruins in the skyrocketing fire and explosions, I stood in front of the window of the room, only to see the firelight reflected the sky in the distance, although the artillery fire was not very strong, it could not be compared with the large-caliber heavy artillery of the mechanized corps, but it was more than enough to deal with a few villages.
Under such artillery fire without preparation, after several rounds of bombardment, those simple wooden houses and mud houses could not withstand it at all, and there were probably not a few people left under the rubble.
"The Coast Guardian is the end of the day!" I looked at the firelight in the distance and chuckled.
"Not necessarily!" The goddess walked up to me with two cups of coffee, handed me one, and leaned on my shoulder.
"It's just a dying struggle." I understood what she meant, as native-born pirates, they had their own set of rules of survival here, otherwise they wouldn't have existed for so long.
"Somali pirates are like drug lords in Southeast Asia, killing one group and the next one, the land here can only feed such people, and the killing is incomplete." The goddess took a sip of coffee, and she always saw some things better than me.
At the beginning, the general was the biggest drug lord in the Golden Triangle, but after his death, not only did he not curb the drug market in the Golden Triangle, but instead formed the current situation of separation, rising stars have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it will not be long before a new ruler will appear.
The same is true for Somali pirates, even if these notorious pirate groups are eliminated, more new people will emerge to replace them, and the sea is destined to be unstable, unless one day the Somali government becomes truly powerful and puts the entire Gulf of Aden under military control, but by then, the pirates will return to find new territory.
Ten minutes later, the sound of artillery stopped, the night sky in the distance was still red by flames, we couldn't see the battlefield in the distance, but there was nothing to see if it was to think about it, whether it was tactics or combat effectiveness, pirates could not be compared with mercenaries, and in the case of sneak attacks, there was also artillery support, no matter how you look at it, it was a battle without suspense.
Drink the coffee in the cup, look at the time, the battle has begun for half an hour, according to the captain's speed, this time should start cleaning the battlefield, I put down the curtain and hugged the slender waist of the goddess to prepare to go to sleep, just walked into the bedroom, the phone on the bedside suddenly rang urgently.
"Hey, who?" I sat at the head of the bed and picked up the phone and asked angrily.
"It's me, pack up your equipment immediately, the captain is in trouble and needs our support!" Pandora's serious voice came over the phone.
"Grass, you're not kidding, what's the trouble with a few pirates?" I was shocked, put the microphone around my neck, and scrambled to get dressed while scolding.
"I don't know the specifics, it seems that someone leaked the plan, and they were ambushed." Pandora's voice was tinged with urgency.
"Damn, which bastard did the good thing?" I scolded while buttoning my belt!
"How do I know! Don't talk nonsense, gather downstairs in five minutes. Pandora dropped the next sentence and hung up the phone.
The goddess and I quickly got into our gear, folded our weapons and stuffed them into our backpacks, then rushed out of the room and strode downstairs, three SUVs waiting on the side of the road, and just as we came out of the hotel, we saw the monkey roll down the window and wave at us.
Pandora and the ninja were both in the car, the ninja was wearing a black mask that he hadn't seen for a long time, and Pandora was putting oil paint on his face, and when we came up, the monkey started the car and rushed out with one foot on the accelerator.
"How far is this from the battlefield, and will we have time to get there?" I asked casually by scribbling oil paint on my face a few times.
"We're supporting the nearest Icewolf, they're in big trouble!" The monkey shouted excitedly as he drove, this guy has been holding back for a while because of his injury, and he is not good now, but the temptation brought by the sound of gunfire has far outweighed the pain caused by the injury.
"What's the trouble?" I applied the oil paint to the palm of my hand and rubbed it twice on the goddess's fair face, causing her to roll her eyes.
"They have been besieged by an unknown number of pirates, and are currently hiding in bombed-up villages for reinforcements." The monkey told me what he knew.
"Who's ambushing whom? Do they have a lot of in their heads? Didn't detect the enemy before the bombing? "I'm really enough, I don't even know if the enemy is there, so I'll cover it with artillery fire, grandma's, cannonballs don't cost money! He deserves to be annihilated.
"The devil knows what happened, anyway, the captain gave an order, the first battle must be won, even if it is a heavy price, it cannot be defeated." The monkey made a sharp turn and drove the car to its limit, and the engine let out a terrifying roar as if it was about to explode at any moment.
I understand what the captain means, the victory in the first battle will inevitably increase the momentum, on the contrary, the momentum is low, not to mention, many people will doubt the captain's command ability, maybe there will be chaos, after all, they are all wild and untamable mercenaries, there is no discipline to talk about.
The three cars roared like crazy on the road, fortunately, there was not even a ghost shadow on the road late at night, the car in front was driven by a baby, and the off-road vehicle was completely driven as a supercar, if the chassis was a little lower, maybe there would be a few gorgeous drifts, with this madman who didn't want to die to take the lead, and the two cars behind also followed suit.
Twenty minutes later, the car got off the road, along a mountain road to the battlefield, the mountain road was bumpy, the car still maintained a high speed on this road, I sat in the car and swayed left and right, jumping up and down, my intestines were about to break, I felt that the car was like a ball, and it kept jumping forward, as if it would overturn at any time,
"Monkey, you SB, I curse you for not being able to have children." I put my arms around the goddess's head, held her in my arms, and roared loudly.
"Lao Tzu would never have had children." The monkey laughed and continued to bang the throttle.
The ninja sitting in the co-pilot, holding the handle in one hand and the sword in the other, although he didn't speak, he looked at the monkey very badly.
I don't know how long it was bumpy, but I only knew that I had crossed a hill because I felt that the car was in a downhill state, and after stabilizing it, I stopped on the side of the road.
"Damn bastard, ......!" I rushed out of the car, and without finishing a word, I squatted on the side of the road and retched, not only me, but the young master and the devil and others in the car in front of me were disgusted when they jumped out of the car.
I only felt that my stomach was tumbling upside down, my intestines were throbbing for a while, and my internal organs seemed to be shifted, and I stood on the side of the road and took a few deep breaths before I smoothed this breath.
