King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 883 - 795: Support

Joe Ga saw the 'Bullhorn' of Team E when he got off the plane in Mosul...

This guy, carrying a parachute, was greeting the members of Team E boarding a Senas 208 light transport aircraft from Iraq, along with the former SAS 'Goat Squad'.

Seeing the arrival of Boss Joe, 'Bullhorn' and his team seemed to have something urgent to deal with; they didn't have time to come over to greet him and just waved from a distance before boarding the plane.

Watching the transport plane taxi for a few hundred meters on the runway and quickly climb, Joe Ga frowned and walked out of the frontline airport, entering the hangar owned by P·B.

The people of P·B had responsibilities completely different from those of mercenaries, so they were separate from those big company mercenaries.

Antar had transformed this hangar into a command center for P·B, with dozens of Kurdish female soldiers monitoring day and night, providing intelligence and artillery support to the frontline combatants.

When Joe Ga and his team entered the hangar, they found that the 'Hammer Squad' and the 'Old Soldiers Squad' recruited from Liberia who stayed in Iraq for base security were quickly organizing their equipment.

Old squad leader Solon personally delivered field rations to them, checking their water bottles as well.

A bunch of P·B's Xiao Hei drove out two Milos Armored Vehicles from the parking lot, and two long-headed Warriors stopped at the hangar door.

Joe Ga saw Antar rushing over to him, frowning, he asked, "What happened?"

Antar shook his head helplessly and said, "Team B intercepted a convoy on their way back to the safe zone, rescuing more than sixty Berber women and children.

Now they are preparing an ambush near the highway for the first wave of ISIS chasing them, and then will retreat to an abandoned village in the ISIS-controlled area.

Team E and Goat will parachute into Syria to provide support, but this few people are not enough."

Saying this, Antar pointed to 'Hammer' and 'Old Soldier Squad', saying, "'Hamher Squad' and 'Viking Squad' will drive into Syria for support."

Hearing this, Joe Ga frowned and said, "They have too few people, I have six Black Hawks here, and enough manpower.

We will enter Syria by air, refuel in the safe zone, and then cover Sanderson and his team."

Antar, seeing that Boss Joe had just arrived and wanted to enter the battlefield, tried to dissuade him, but then saw Joe Ga waving excitedly and saying, "I got a $250 million contract from the Pentagon, and the target is inside Syria.

I was going there anyway, just a bit earlier.

Don't worry, I won't mess things up..."

Saying this, Joe Ga looked at Antar's helpless face and laughed, "I've called everyone away, will there be any problem here?"

Antar, knowing she couldn't sway Boss Joe's actions, could only nod and say, "No problem, boss, I can call over some people from Sea Hound, plus we have hundreds of our own P·B folks here, along with those mercenaries, so our security is not an issue."

Joe Ga, satisfied, nodded and said, "That's good. Order the supply convoy to stand by; once the surrounding fighting settles down, let them leave. I need plenty of weapons and ammunition.

Someone paid me to stay longer in Iraq, I have to fulfill their wishes."

Antar, hearing this, nodded and said, "Let 'Hammer' and 'Viking' accompany the transport convoy when they set off, as the current situation is unclear and running on the highway without sufficient security is very dangerous."

Joe Ga listened, nodded, and said, "Let's do this, quickly arrange for someone to fuel up the Black Hawks and load the rocket pods.

'Bullhorn' dropping into the ISIS-controlled area during the day is very dangerous, we need to speed things up."

Saying this, Joe Ga turned to Dorian and shouted, "Elephant, go find that madman 'Pliers'.

Prepare enough weapons and ammunition to load the helicopter, and once they are ready, we will go..."

Dorian, hearing this, excitedly jumped up, pulling Ayu shouting, "You bring the 'Ant Eater' and 'Dagger' team to the arsenal, remind them to take as much as they can.

I'll find 'Pliers', shit, that madman must be drinking somewhere."

Joe Ga, seeing everyone getting moving, looked at the 'command center' not far away that looked like an internet cafe...

Dozens of computers were neatly arranged, and a large number of Kurdish female soldiers were like customer service during the Singles' Day, constantly making and receiving calls.

Then through the commands of some Kurdish female soldiers, the base's artillery would fire towards certain areas inside Mosul.

Unmanned aerial vehicles, this kind of godsend, always gave the base an upper hand.

But the situation in the safe zone was much worse, there were too many people there, and infrastructure development couldn't keep up.

Barely being able to stop a helicopter was already the limit for the safe zone!

There were also unmanned aerial vehicles there, plus a dozen Nora self-propelled guns and several large-caliber mortars.

Previously, the safe zone had spare capacity to expand outward, breaking through the road to the south to sell supplies, but now ISIS, due to the negligence of the Americans and the Kurdish Militia, launched a major counter-offensive, and the situation began to look grim.

'Distance' reduced the advantage of P·B's air force in the battles around the safe zone.

Jetfighters could just manage to cover that area, but couldn't linger for long.

The previous expansion of the safe zone was thanks to the jet fighters.

But attack and defense are two different things!

For attack, simply finding the target and dropping the bomb counts as a success.

But defense requires the plane to circle for a long time, finding the enemy under ground guidance, and most of the time, it's only small groups of enemies.

Using missiles to blow up a car or a few people, P·B isn't that extravagant yet.

Super Albatross and Griffin-1 have enough range, but once they go for low-altitude cover, they'll face ISIS's anti-air firepower.

A hodgepodge anti-air setup of 'Stinger' 'Needle-style' caused damage to two Su-25s; it's definitely even less friendly towards propeller planes and helicopters.

With the United States Army pulling back in Syria, ISIS's main forces were deployed, and their combat power began to upgrade.

Those terrorists, trained in intense combat, are far more professional compared to their peers inside Iraq.

Now, because of a contract, Joe Ga is about to enter Syria to settle them.

Thinking about the situation he's about to face, Joe Ga rubbed his head with a headache, then looked at Antar and said, "Are there enough missiles at the base?

I need the Super Albatross and Griffin-1 to be missile-ready for standby, ready to fly and support the surrounding areas of the safe zone at any time.

It's dangerous to provide low-altitude assistance, but high-altitude bombing is no problem for them."

As he spoke, Joe Ga shook his head in frustration and said, "Where the hell do ISIS get so many anti-air missiles?"

Antar spread his hands and said, "Boss, you forgot, there's a Georgian who has been supplying ISIS with weapons.

But lately, that guy seems to be having some trouble, CACI's intelligence network hasn't heard from him for a long time."

Joe Ga scoffed, "That Georgian's boss is going down, what can he do?

It's just that 'Engineer' is too slow at work, otherwise that Georgian would have been hanging from a street light by now."

Antar, unaware of the oligarch's situation, cautiously said, "Boss, ISIS has significant influence inside Syria. They have artillery, armored vehicles, and even tanks.

If the United States Army, Opposition Armed Forces, and Kurdish forces inside Syria don't pull their weight, the situation in the safe zone could get really bad.

You have to be careful!"

Joe Ga laughed, "I don't care, after rescuing Team B, I'll just hunker down in the safe zone, I'll just push with the self-propelled artillery as far as I can.

The contract requires me to tie down ISIS's forces to lighten the load on the United States Army, it doesn't require me to eliminate them.

I'll take on all the pressure, and that means the contract is fulfilled."

With that, Joe Ga patted Antar on the shoulder, laughing as he said, "To be honest with you, I enjoy this tension.

You watch the rear in Iraq for me, I'm going to show those sons of bitches some color.

Always handling logistics, those guys might think P·B can't fight!"

............

Sanderson lay in a temporary trench, watching dust rise again in the distance on the highway.

A convoy of pickup trucks flying the ISIS flag was rapidly approaching the truck convoy...

Seeing that the pickup convoy didn't enter the pre-set encirclement, Sanderson cursed, "Shit, those guys are experienced, must be the main forces of ISIS..."

'Tailor' looked at the pickup at the back of the convoy, equipped with a 40 mm caliber Bofors gun, lamenting, "How the hell did they manage to mount a Bofors on a pickup?

I definitely don't want to be chased by that thing...

When's the drone coming?"

Sanderson glanced at the time, smiling bitterly, "Predator just took off from Baghdad, it'll take at least two more hours to get here.

Nobody move, we wait for them to come closer..."

In another trench, 30 meters from Sanderson, 'Chainsaw' placed three portable rocket launchers beside him, and then pressed the communicator saying, "'Vanguard', are you really planning to marry that Teresa?

I think the woman's fallen for you, you better not die..."

Sanderson checked the position of both parties, while loading a 40mm grenade into the launcher, saying, "Can you not say something auspicious?"

'Chainsaw' grinned widely, "I'm just reminding you, you're performing like a rookie right now, I'm worried love's clouded your judgment.

These terrorists, just 20 people, how could they be our match?"

Sanderson paused, just as he was about to reflect on whether he really had a problem, Teresa's voice came through their communication channel...

"'Vanguard', two more squads are approaching your location, nearly 200 people this time, they'll reach your current position in about an hour..."

Sanderson paused, then pressed the communicator towards 'Chainsaw' and cursed, "Look at your bad mouth..."

Saying that, Sanderson peeked at a few terrorists cautiously approaching the truck, raised his gun and said, "Take them out, lure the pickup closer and blow them up...

Shit, remember to hide your ass, God bless that the Bofors gun doesn't find us..."

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang…"
