Mercenary’s War

Aden is now Saudi Arabia’s bridgehead in Yemen, and the airport is naturally of utmost importance.

Therefore, the airport is heavily guarded, with forces of at least a regiment stationed there, including the Air Force, ground crew, and guard troops. This place is basically a large military camp.

The Houthis Armed Forces can no longer threaten the airport. Now that they’ve been driven out of Aden, the only offensive they can launch is small-scale raids. Hence, the airport has made very targeted arrangements against such small scattered attacks.

The main road leading to the airport is filled with checkpoints, each consisting of roadblocks, sandbag machine gun positions, Humvees with mounted heavy machine guns, and infantry fighting vehicles.

Each checkpoint is guarded by two M2A3 Infantry Fighting Vehicles. The M2A3 has a 25mm automatic cannon, a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, and two twin-tube TOW anti-tank missiles on its turret’s left side.

For the Houthis Armed Forces, which lack heavy weapons, these checkpoints are almost impenetrable steel fortresses.

Satan also does not have heavy weapons, at most carrying a few rocket launchers, yet Satan resolutely charged towards the airport.

A key feature of Aden Airport is that, unlike most airports in the world that are located outside the city, it is built within the city.

Moreover, another crucial factor is that it’s already completely dark, and no matter how wealthy Saudi Arabia is, it can’t equip each soldier with a night vision device.

Therefore, when Gao Yang’s vehicle appeared at the forefront and charged towards the first checkpoint of the airport, it wasn’t very conspicuous.

"Try to get as close as possible!"

Gao Yang could already see the enemy soldiers, almost without exception. Every soldier was standing there, facing backwards, watching the airport engulfed in flames.

Gao Yang couldn’t help but secretly sigh, this was truly a God-sent opportunity.

Joseph slowed down, and Gao Yang leaned out, aiming his gun at the checkpoint’s enemies. The distance was getting closer, already less than two hundred meters, yet the enemies still hadn’t noticed the fast-approaching convoy.

Joseph continued to slow down, and within a hundred-meter range, the vehicle was moving very slowly. Finally, the engine noise caught one soldier’s attention. As the first soldier turned his head to look at the convoy, the rest of the soldiers also turned around.

Power outages frequently occurred in Aden City, with more time without electricity than with it. Like now, after multiple missile attacks on various places in Aden City, a complete blackout was inevitable.

However, the checkpoints had electricity, and the strong light emitted by searchlights from the checkpoint provided illumination around them. The checkpoint itself was sufficiently illuminated by the remaining light from the searchlights, making it appear concealed in darkness to the naked eye.

However, the Glow Night Vision Devices equipped by Satan could fully handle this situation.

"Fire!"

Joseph slammed on the brakes, causing Gao Yang’s body to lurch forward heavily, but he quickly adjusted himself and fired the first shot.

Gao Yang first took out the machine gun emplacement soldier, swiftly and continuously shifting his aim and quickly shot dead the second soldier who was about to fire.

It is not common to include snipers in assault teams, but so far, it has been effective. Cui Bo and Phoenix did not even need to get out of the vehicle to perform extraordinarily accurate shooting.

Cui Bo and Phoenix couldn’t take out an enemy with every shot, but they could fire again in an extremely short time, achieving control before the threatening enemies opened fire.

The machine gunner had been killed, and the machine gunner on the Humvee could not engage in shooting at all. Now, the only threat Satan couldn’t solve was the Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

Each checkpoint had two M2A3 armored vehicles, and if the 25mm automatic cannon on the armored vehicle started firing, the result would be catastrophic, no doubt about it.

The assault team disembarked, charged towards the checkpoint where the remaining enemies were hiding, and fired at the remnants who almost hadn’t offered any effective resistance.

At this moment, the armored vehicle on the left side of the checkpoint finally moved, its turret rotating rapidly towards the vehicle where Gao Yang was.

The automatic cannon on the armored vehicle was initially aimed a hundred meters out on the road. During the day, intimidated by the power of the automatic cannon and machine gun, vehicles and pedestrians had to slow down a hundred meters away and wait for the checkpoint soldiers’ instructions to proceed. But now, Gao Yang and his team were too close, so the automatic cannon must adjust before it could shoot.

"Move quickly!"

Gao Yang shouted hoarsely. If hit by a volley from the automatic cannon, he would be turned into meat paste.

Joseph slammed on the gas, and the vehicle shot forward. However, there was no need for Gao Yang to panic because just as the turret of the armored vehicle started moving, Li Jinfang in the assault team had already fired a rocket at the Infantry Fighting Vehicle from an extremely close distance.

Even though it was just an M72 light rocket, it was enough to deal with an M2A3 armored vehicle.

With a boom, the rocket exploded inside the armored vehicle, resolving the biggest crisis Gao Yang had faced since the battle began.

The first armored vehicle was blown up, and Frey was already aiming the rocket launcher at the second armored vehicle. However, Li Jinfang shouted: "Don’t fire! Hold on a minute!"

Li Jinfang gestured to Eileen and then slung his rifle onto his back, leapt onto the armored vehicle as Eileen removed a grenade, and just as Li Jinfang climbed onto the armored vehicle, she tossed the grenade to him.

Li Jinfang took the grenade, tapped it twice on the open crew access hatch on top of the armored vehicle, and shouted: "Come out, surrender, and you won’t be killed!"

Eileen, Peter, and Taylor put in great effort to move the roadblocks obstructing the path, with Gao Yang’s vehicle being the first to pass through the first checkpoint.

As Gao Yang passed, Li Jinfang joyously shouted to him: "It’s empty inside!"

Gao Yang gave Li Jinfang a thumbs up, indicating that he understood what had happened.

There being an empty armored vehicle was not a big deal. What mattered was that regardless of whether there were people inside, Satan had acquired an armored vehicle, saving a grenade and the time needed to clean up the corpses inside the vehicle.

Saving some time is always a joyful thing, and capturing an armored vehicle is simply an unexpected surprise.

Joseph drove through the checkpoint, but quickly slammed on the brakes again and reversed back while shouting, "Automatic cannon, retreat!"

A string of tracer bullets flew past in front of Gao Yang’s vehicle, looking quite pretty but extremely terrifying.
