198: Chapter 198: Capturing Over Twenty Cities in Succession! You son of a bitch, you actually came!
It was the same on Qin Yang's side, perhaps even simpler! Qin Yang was just having fun! He drove the tank himself and charged right in!
"Boom!"
A shell from the massive cannon barrel blasted the city gate, which hadn't even closed yet, wide open, and the obstacles outside hadn't even been deployed!
He rampaged all the way through! With the real-time footage provided by Little Gold, Qin Yang felt like he was playing a holographic game!
"Boom!"
"Hahaha! This is so damn satisfying! It seems the Gatling Gun isn't enough! Tanks are the true romance of men!"
Qin Yang laughed heartily. This was his first time driving a tank, and he hadn't expected it to be so thrilling!
With one foot on the accelerator, one hand steering, the other loading shells, and a foot pressing the trigger!
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The tank rampaged wildly through the city, shells flying toward the soldiers! The massive explosions sent those soldiers flying!
Armored vehicles and tanks rushed in from behind, launching a frenzied slaughter against the soldiers! Based on the previous satellite footage, Qin Yang precisely located every hiding soldier!
At the same time, the enemy's headquarters was also destroyed! It wasn't that Qin Yang didn't want to occupy it, but time was tight and the mission was heavy; there were still so many towns and resource points ahead! He would take them all down first!
The steel torrent came and went quickly! It ravaged a major city in half an hour, then sped out through the other gate, heading in another direction!
The ordinary people watching through the gaps were stunned! Good heavens! Is this the Leopard Mercenary Group? They are too fierce!
Many of them didn't even react in time; shells and bullets grazed their scalps! Of course, some unlucky ones died in the process, but they were in the minority.
The ordinary people who hadn't run home yet watched as a large group of armored vehicles and tanks kicked up a cloud of dust and disappeared through the other gate, looking at each other in confusion!
"Huh! Are we safe?"
"It seems so. They look like they're in a hurry; they don't seem to have time to deal with us!"
In just half an hour, Qin Yang's troops captured over twenty cities and towns! Even large cities were taken down in half an hour just like the ones Qin Yang hit!
Over at Qin Er's side, he took three towns in a row! Most of the time was spent on the road! They wiped out about two thousand men in those three small towns! There was also a copper mine!
After wiping out all the defenders, they headed straight to the next location! Leaving the captured laborers looking bewildered! After all, they had been forced to come here to mine! Had they been liberated?
"Are we free?"
"It's the Leopard Mercenary Group! They've attacked! We don't have to mine anymore!"
The laborers cheered! After all, they were at the very bottom of the social hierarchy in this land! They were equivalent to slaves in the past, free labor that had been captured!
Many had already been worked to death, or killed while trying to escape!
At the very least, Qin Yang and his men paid wages! Stories of Qin Yang had circulated! With no entertainment equipment here, they could only gossip in their spare time, so they still knew a little about the situation outside!
In the cities that had been breached, spies hidden among the populace had already begun to report the news!
Barkley's adjutant's phone hadn't stopped ringing; in just a few minutes, bad news had come from all directions of their territory! And the perpetrators were surprisingly consistent: it was the Leopard Mercenary Group!
And they were all using heavy weapons, with a steel torrent pushing straight through!
Cold sweat was accumulating on the adjutant's forehead! Qin Yang couldn't have the ability to clone himself, so there was only one possibility: the Leopard Mercenary Group had deployed more than a thousand men!
Having answered over twenty calls in a few minutes, the adjutant's legs were trembling as he ran!
When he arrived at the command post, Barkley frowned and said, "What's with that expression? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
The adjutant said shakily, "Boss! Our territory has been ambushed and has already fallen!"
Barkley's face darkened, but he didn't explode in rage! He just said with great resentment, "Those damn bastards! I knew they would take advantage of the situation at a time like this!"
The adjutant shook his head and said, "It's not the warlords in the surrounding areas!"
Barkley was stunned. He knew that as soon as they started fighting, those people wouldn't let the opportunity pass! But if not them, who could it be?
"It's Qin Yang! He brought a large force! In just a few minutes, I've received over twenty calls about cities falling! More than half of our territory has been swept through by Qin Yang's troops!"
"What did you say?"
Barkley stood up straight, his tone full of shock!
"Is Qin Yang crazy? Is he not afraid of the nations uniting to crusade against him? Openly violating the treaty, how does he dare to do this?"
Indeed, if Qin Yang openly tore up the United Nations resolution, it would certainly be a troublesome matter! Even if they didn't send troops to attack, a simple economic blockade would be a major problem, as all other supplies wouldn't be able to get through!
China and Russia couldn't support Qin Yang unconditionally forever! Countries still have to consider their own interests!
No country has ever been seen making enemies with the whole world for the sake of loyalty! It's not like they are a criminal gang!
The adjutant said helplessly, "But Boss! We have truly been swept through by the Leopard Mercenary Group! And they have deployed tanks, armored vehicles, Armed Helicopters, and even Self-propelled Artillery!"
Barkley's mouth twitched. Good heavens, he seemed to understand how Qin Yang had wiped out the people from the Temple of Heaven before! Although he didn't know how they got them in, if he could give Roger so many Mortars, this amount of Self-propelled Artillery shouldn't be a problem!
"Where are they now?"
Barkley asked in a deep voice; after all, they had already lost most of their territory, and now was not the time to fight a major war with Roger!
"According to intelligence, they are already forming an encirclement around us. If they take a few more cities, they'll be able to surround us!"
Barkley walked to the map but couldn't find any breakout point!
Barkley gritted his teeth and called Xiuluo!
"Boom!" "Rat-tat-tat-tat!" "Damn it! Fire!" "Boom!"
As soon as the call connected, there was an overwhelming sound of explosions and gunfire! They were all the sounds of Heavy Machine Guns! One could tell immediately that these weren't their weapons!
"Barkley! What do you want from me at a time like this?"
Barkley was numb. What happened to the plan of sneaking in and secretly wiping out the ammunition depot?
"What's the situation on your end? Why does it feel like the fighting there is more intense than our front-line battlefield?"
Xiuluo said unhappily, "Damn it! Who knew that the enemy would have thousands of people guarding the ammunition depot with so few people! And they even damn well laid landmines!"
"These bastards are truly rich; they all have new-model rifles, and every three or five men have a Heavy Machine Gun! How the hell am I supposed to fight?"
Xiuluo was filled with deep resentment. Back in his prime in Africa, he could have done it too! Since coming here, they had started going downhill!
Now, even a random force of Qin Yang's had this kind of firepower and equipment, and it made him feel terrible just looking at it!
Furthermore, he had come to steal their ammunition depot! He didn't even bring light machine guns! Being suppressed and beaten by a group of Iraqi locals made him feel incredibly stifled!
On the other side, Leili roared with a ferocious expression, "Fire at them until they're dead! You bastards, you actually came! You don't treat us like human beings, right?"
"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!"
As he spoke, Leili dragged over a light machine gun and began suppressing them with crazy firepower, occasionally firing a couple of rockets! He was beating the other side to a pulp!
"What kind of bullshit Temple of Heaven! Raise your heads, damn it! I'm going to kill you!"
Leili really hadn't expected those jerks to actually come! If they let them wipe out the ammunition depot, how would they be able to show their faces? What would Qin Yang think of them?
If that really happened, even if Qin Yang abandoned them, he wouldn't have a word of complaint! It had been so hard to latch onto such a big shot, and these jerks wanted to drag them down? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
