Mercenary’s War

These six self-propelled artillery units truly cannot be kept.

Aden Airport suffered a missile attack; even the fighter planes couldn’t take off. But this doesn’t mean that Saudi Arabia will let the chaotic situation in Aden continue to develop and spread.

For Saudi Arabia, the air force is the most reliable military force. Even if the fighter planes at Aden Airport cannot take off, Saudi Arabia can completely dispatch fighter planes from domestic military bases to rush to Aden.

What needs particular attention is that Saudi Arabia’s fighter planes have continuously maintained patrols in Yemen’s airspace. As soon as they receive orders, they can reach the skies over Aden in a very short time.

Rebrov couldn’t bear to part with a few cannons, but Gao Yang could. These cannons weren’t paid for out of his own pocket, so what if they were discarded? The only loss is just the time waiting for the cannons to be transported back. Moreover, he had already planned to abandon these self-propelled artillery in favor of more lightweight and mobile 105mm caliber artillery in Aden.

Gao Yang didn’t want to lose all the artillery again; therefore, voluntarily abandoning these cannons was a necessary choice. If Saudi Arabia’s air force arrived, they might not drop bombs on individual vehicles, but a large convoy of self-propelled artillery would surely be targeted.

Everything went smoothly, and Satan’s convoy safely returned to the departure base.

Everyone returned safely, no one was killed, not even injured; there weren’t even any minor scrapes. The biggest loss was that Gao Yang ordered the voluntary abandonment of six self-propelled artillery vehicles.

After getting off the vehicle, Gao Yang quickly walked a few steps towards Eileen and said urgently, "How’s it going?"

"Andy He has already conducted a comprehensive examination. There are basic medical instruments on the helicopter. So far, Hammer’s condition is good."

"Has he woken up?"

"Not yet. During the transfer, Hammer was sedated. He still needs some time to wake up."

Gao Yang sighed in relief, took off his helmet and mask, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and smiled, "We succeeded."

After saying this, Gao Yang sighed, "The missile troop has already retreated into the nearby mountains to conceal themselves. Everything went well without any attacks. The artillery have abandoned their cannons and are evacuating separately in accompanying vehicles. There have been no reports of attacks. This battle ended with our complete victory."

Vorvitsky got off the vehicle, pouring water over his head. Gao Yang saw this, frowned, and shouted, "Cobra!"

"Boss, what’s up?"

"Don’t pour cold water over your head. Your head injury hasn’t healed for long. Now is not the time to rest. I need you to go check on the missile troop base, Peter."

Peter approached Gao Yang and said, "Boss."

Gao Yang lowered his voice and said solemnly, "I need you to go with Vorvitsky to check on the missile troopers’ base. They temporarily hid in the mountains, but I’m still worried they might encounter attacks. Go see, and if their concealment isn’t effective, take the missile troopers away. The equipment can be destroyed because we can always replace it, but we can’t afford to lose people."

The most valuable asset in the missile troop is the people, not the missiles. At least for Satan, that’s true. Peter knows how precious the missile troopers are and immediately said, "I’ll leave right away."

Peter and Vorvitsky had just gotten out of the vehicle and were dispatched again without any rest. At this time, Gao Yang turned to Rebrov and said, "Contact the artillery and ask about their situation; find out when they can return."

Rebrov still looked sickly. After all, motion sickness is quite uncomfortable.

"They are returning in separate groups and are almost here."

Tarta, dressed in black tactical gear, stepped out of the armored vehicle, wiped his wet hair, and said tiredly, "I’m dying of heat. Ask about the situation of the few people who stayed in Aden."

Gao Yang got in touch with Yake. After inquiring, he said to Tarta, "Everyone is fine; Glewatov and Pavlovich have already timely hidden. I think it would be better to recall them once things settle down a bit. Fox is very safe; let him continue operating in Aden."

Having confirmed that everyone was safe, Gao Yang took out the satellite phone and said to everyone who had completed all tasks, "Hide our vehicles well before resting. I have to make a phone call first."

Gao Yang walked to the side, feeling very fatigued, not physical exhaustion, but mentally.

Sitting down against a tree, Gao Yang dialed Yarebin’s number. After Yarebin answered, Gao Yang slowly said, "Teacher, the rescue mission is over. Hammer has been rescued. He’s alive, and everything is good."

Yarebin was silent for a long time, then said softly, "Everything is good?"

"Yes, not a single injury on our side, which exceeded my most optimistic expectations. The enemy’s sluggishness was beyond imagination. We were unscathed, although there were minor hiccups, the result was still decent."

Yarebin sighed softly and murmured, "That’s good news, very good news. It proves you were right."

Gao Yang quickly said, "Teacher, this was an abnormal operation; the result is unrepeatable. A chance and fortunate action doesn’t mean I was right."

Yarebin chuckled and then said softly, "Do you think I’ll be upset because you were right and I was wrong?"

"I didn’t mean that."

Yarebin said gently, "I’m very old; I don’t have many days left. A competent successor is much more important than me being right all the time, much more important. For you to lead Black Demon rather than me having to continue leading them is what I want to see, understand?"

"I understand, teacher."

Yarebin chuckled twice, then said softly, "Bring Glewatov and Pavlovich back and let them come to Riyadh to help me. I can still do some things. You will still need intelligence from here. The rescue mission in Aden may have exposed them, so it’s better to withdraw. As for the remaining few, decide where they’re needed and place them there. From now on, you’re in charge of Black Demon. That’s it for now; I’m going to sleep. I can sleep well tonight, goodbye."

Yarebin hung up the phone, and Gao Yang exhaled lightly.

Now, Black Demon belongs to him. Although Yarebin asked him for two people to help in Riyadh, it was precisely this seemingly trivial matter that signaled Yarebin made the final choice.

Before, Yarebin would have directly ordered Glewatov and Pavlovich to leave Aden without going through him. This meant that in just a few words, Gao Yang and Yarebin completed the transfer of control of Black Demon. Yarebin officially handed Black Demon over to Gao Yang.
