Mercenary's War

Chapter 2449: Chapter 2425: Questioning Life

Wolvitzki was really anxious, and he shouted: "It’s okay if the frontline is breached, we just need to break the contact of the enemy assault group and split the tanks and armored vehicles into two separate parts!"

Peter finally put down the binoculars and turned to look at Wolvitzki.

Wolvitzki squatted down, drew an arrow on the ground with his hand, and said urgently: "The Boss refuses to stop shelling, so we let the tanks go and concentrate firepower on the latter part of the assault group. It doesn’t matter if the tanks enter behind us, as long as we take out the armored vehicles, the enemy will be split in two. We have plenty of anti-tank missiles, tanks without infantry protection are open targets for us. But right now, it doesn’t matter, once the enemy’s group all enters our defensively vacant area behind the front line, and constructs a solid defensive position to cover their large infantry coming in, we are done for! We are done!"

Peter suddenly smiled and said: "Your thinking is very clear, you see far ahead and speak rightly, but you don’t need to do things outside your duty, because even if everything is over, we won’t have trouble."

Wolvitzki was just about to rebut, but he suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately he was stunned, as if awakening from a dream: "You mean we are going to deliberately let the enemy in? Not to annihilate them after they come in, but just to let them in..."

Peter shook his head and said: "No, you’re wrong, we are not deliberately letting the enemy in, we are just trying our best; don’t you understand? We exert all our strength to prevent the enemy from breaking through the front line, but if we can’t stop the enemy, then there’s nothing we can do."

Wolvitzki understood what Peter’s words meant, but he found it a bit difficult to accept, so he had to constantly remind himself that he was not fighting for Yemen here, nor for Saudi Arabia, he was fighting for Satan.

Wolvitzki was a smart man, he quickly realized his position, although he understood it, it wasn’t easy to accept, transitioning from a militiaman who took up arms to defend his homeland to a mercenary with only profit in mind, this transformation was hard for him to adapt to.

For a while, Wolvitzki even regretted his choice, becoming a mercenary, although he could earn the kind of income he never dared imagine before, it did not align with his ideals.

After a brief daze, Wolvitzki said somewhat dispiritedly: "I understand, I’m going back."

Peter raised the binoculars again and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead, don’t overthink."

How could Wolvitzki not think too much? He was still young, being young meant being passionate, being young meant being naive. According to Wolvitzki’s understanding, if he could prevent the enemy from breaking through the front line but did not, then it wasn’t considered trying his best, as for what it takes to try his best to stop the enemy, he really hadn’t thought about it.

Within his duty scope, Wolvitzki wanted to truly exert his power.

Wolvitzki returned to the position he had just left and resumed operating a missile launcher.

Dust differs from the dense smoke emitted by sustained burning, although its effect in blocking lasers is better, its duration is longer too, even without wind, it will dissipate after a while.

The assault group had passed, but the battle was far from over.

Once the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, only two burning tanks were left in the canyon, along with track marks on the sand.

Wolvitzki launched in shock, it turned out he really only hit two tanks, then Saudi armored assault group suffered no further loss.

Wolvitzki wasn’t very familiar with American armored vehicles, he only knew the tanks were M1A2, then M2A3 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles followed in battle, along with a few M113 armored personnel carriers carrying infantry, ready to let infantry cover tank combat after stopping the assault.

In terms of total numbers, this assault group just now had at least about forty various types of armored vehicles, while on the mountains on Yemen’s side of the canyon, at least twenty or more anti-tank missile launchers were prepared, and on both sides of the canyon passage, at least ten or more missile launchers were also arranged back and forth.

With thirty missile launchers, even if you can’t annihilate all attacking tanks and armored vehicles, destroying half seems doable, at the very least destroy ten, make it impossible for the enemy to attack forcing them to retreat, that should definitely be achievable, how could it be that only two tanks were hit and then the enemy’s armored assault group rushed through?

No point in thinking about what’s past, Wolvitzki decided to focus on the battles that would ensue.

According to Wolvitzki’s experience, as long as Saudi Arabia was determined to break through the Houthis Armed Forces’ front line, then after the armored assault group passed, a second wave of attack carrying lots of infantry to stabilize the passage should immediately arrive.

It’s okay for a single assault group to puncture the front line in one blow, but also to consolidate the occupied passage, clear the road sides, expand control range, especially against infantry on the mountain on both sides, Saudi Arabia must also send a large number of infantry, but as a minute passed, ten minutes passed, thirty minutes passed, the canyon remained silent.

Is it possible they just threw over the assault group and don’t care anymore? Isn’t this nonsense, isn’t it sending people to their deaths? Wolvitzki felt his limited combat experience in Ukraine was entirely useless here, he was completely puzzled.

Without waiting for another Saudi attack wave, Wolvitzki first awaited Satan’s reinforcements.

"How’s it going?"

Wolvitzki eagerly awaited Saudi reinforcements arriving, but he didn’t wait for them, and thus Wolvitzki, puzzled why, said blankly: "How’s the situation? I don’t know, enemy follow-up forces should have arrived but didn’t, now I feel we can divide and encircle the enemy’s armored assault group, take out their fragile infantry transport vehicles, under heavy infantry anti-tank missiles encircle attack, the enemy’s armored cluster will be done for, but right now I don’t know anything, I know what the enemy wants to do, nor do I know what we will do."

Gao Yang sighed lightly and said: "Alright, then the enemy’s follow-up forces haven’t come, and no sign they’re coming, then the situation is clear, the enemies who already came will be divided, encircled and then annihilated."

Wolvitzki said softly: "Boss, can you tell me, is this a deliberately designed tactic of ours? To let the enemy’s vanguard into a trap and then completely annihilate them?"

"No, this is not a deliberately designed tactic, it’s just that you’re witnessing how the world’s weirdest army fights, giving you some advice, don’t try to interpret the war here with your experience, you’ll start doubting life, so it’s better to go with the flow."
