Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2601 - 2577: Judgment Error

Hammer was in that black SUV. If we shoot and bomb the car, it might be easy to stop it, but Hammer’s survival would be uncertain.

The battle was urgent and intense, because dragging it out would be impossible.

There were two military vehicles following the black SUV from front and behind. These were two Humvees. The Shah had bought a large number of Humvees from America, and in Aden’s garrison, the most common vehicle was the Humvee.

Humvees have strong off-road capabilities and basic protective abilities, but they are too heavy. In terms of maximum speed, they are far inferior to the uniformly chosen LC100 off-road vehicles by Gao Yang and his team. Of course, compared to the Humvee, the LC100, a purely civilian vehicle, is like a thin-skinned dumpling with a large filling, easy to break and crash.

But Satan wouldn’t give the enemy a chance to open fire, nor would they collide with the enemy’s military vehicles.

This was an atypical battle engaging in a vehicle chase because it’s common in movies, but in a real battlefield, not only is it rare, but almost impossible to see.

Gao Yang leaned out half his body and fired quickly at the machine gunner with a rifle, but the bumps caused his bullets to fly who knows where. Still, there was an effect; a machine gunner shrank most of his body inside the car and stretched his arms and neck awkwardly, constantly firing without knowing the barrel was aimed at the sky.

The Shah soldiers not only lacked the skills and ability to exchange fire with the enemy, but they didn’t even have the courage to face the enemy directly as if ignoring the enemy would make them vanish.

Frey’s driving skills were excellent, he zigzagged the car quickly close to a Humvee.

"Steady it!"

Frey started to drive in a straight line, and Li Jinfang quickly aimed the grenade launcher in his hand at the Humvee near him, and moments later, that Humvee became a heap of scrap metal.

The black SUV was trying to speed up, attempting to escape the military vehicle’s protection and use its high speed to shake off the pursuit, but the road conditions were too poor, and Frey and Eileen’s vehicles had already boxed it in from the left and right in front.

Taylor and Li Jinfang were shooting at the lead Humvee with their rifles, without using rifle grenades at all this time. The driver of the Humvee was swiftly killed, and the vehicle veered to the side, eventually crashing into a wall.

Frey and Eileen’s car had already reached the front, blocking the black SUV’s path. Gao Yang’s car had reached the back-left side of the SUV. Gao Yang attempted several times to shoot the SUV’s tires but ultimately gave up.

The black SUV refused to stop, always looking for a chance to break through the front’s blockade of two cars. Meanwhile, Joseph had already followed closely behind the SUV, maintaining a distance of less than ten meters, ready to ram it at a relatively gentle speed as soon as the SUV attempted to stop.

All of this required very good driving skills, but luckily, in the frequent training sessions of Satan, driving skills were an important part.

Peter opened the car door of the trunk from inside the vehicle and tossed out a big net.

This wasn’t an ordinary net but a stopping net meant to force a vehicle to stop, not used on the body but on the wheels.

The net was already laid out in order, and Peter threw it out with a weight tied at one end, then shouted, "Cast the net!"

Frey immediately started zigzagging, a twenty-meter long, one-meter wide net made of thick hemp rope with many sharp spikes quickly formed an S-shaped barricade on the ground.

The SUV swerved twice, but eventually, the left tire rolled onto the stopper net.

Once one tire was on, the other wheels couldn’t escape, and the net immediately dug into the wheel, getting pulled up by it and soon completely locking up the axle.

The black SUV came to a stop, Joseph braked hard and stopped as well. Gao Yang opened the car door and rushed over, aiming his gun at the driver, shouting, "Don’t move! Don’t move!"

In this situation, the driver still attempted to draw a gun. Without hesitation, Gao Yang shot the driver dead, then shot the passenger in the seat beside him.

Li Jinfang had already run over. He yanked the car door open fiercely, pulling it backward.

The car window film was very dark, making it impossible to see inside from outside. When Li Jinfang pulled the door open, Gao Yang finally got a look at the interior of the car.

The interior had been modified to fit a stretcher.

But the interior was empty, there was nothing inside.

No Hammer, no medical personnel, the SUV was completely empty.

It felt like a boom in his heart. For a moment, Gao Yang was stunned.

Li Jinfang shouted in surprise, "Empty! The car is empty!"

Albert and Andy He, driving a similarly modified car, had already stopped next to the SUV. Andy He was extremely shocked, shouting, "How can this be!"

Gao Yang felt a bitter taste in his mouth, trembling, he said, "Obviously, I made a misjudgment..."

Although extremely shocked, causing great mental impact on Gao Yang, he hadn’t forgotten what he needed to do. He immediately yelled on the intercom, "Hammer’s not here, we screwed up, withdraw! Withdraw now!"

Tarta immediately questioned on the intercom, "What’s going on!"

"An empty vehicle! Misjudgment, find out which vehicle Hammer is on right away!"

The mistake was a done deal, now there’s only two things to do: withdraw, or find Hammer’s whereabouts and continue the rescue.

Restarting the search for Hammer’s whereabouts and rescue was already too late. The remaining three routes all led to the military base, where the cars likely had already entered the base gates.

Making a misjudgment was perfectly normal; Gao Yang didn’t feel self-reproach nor had time for it, but he only felt a bitterness in his mouth and heart.

"We’re at the third interception point!"

Tarta and their car arrived as well. With only four people, assigning two to drive left too few for operations, so they only drove one car.

"We’re leaving!"

Gao Yang waved his hand, no time to delay, they had to get out before the army blockaded the city. Even if they had to fight their way back in, it was better than being trapped inside the city.

At this moment, Yake’s urgent voice came through Gao Yang’s earpiece.

"Emergency call! A helicopter has landed at the airport! It’s a helicopter, the helicopter is transporting Hammer."

A flash like a current went through Gao Yang’s heart. Now, everything was clear.

Fake, it was all fake. The true transfer route was in the air, transported by helicopter, which landed directly at the airport. Hammer would soon be transferred to the plane heading to Saudi Arabia.

In an instant, Gao Yang, without any hesitation, grabbed the handheld radio and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Archer, fire! Fire! Attack all scheduled targets! Now!"
