King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 884 - 796 Difficulty Increases

Special forces' first choice when encountering a convoy is definitely to take out the gunman on the vehicle-mounted machine gun…

'Water Snake' quickly eliminated the shooter of the Bofors Gun and then kept his unwavering focus on the terrifying 40mm Fire Cannon…

"Go, go, go..."

'Chainsaw' hit the truck carrying the Bofors Gun with an RPG, then hopped out of the trench, wielding a PKM machine gun and started moving forward while firing.

"Boom"

'Chainsaw' and his comrades from Diamond drew the attention of the other three vehicles, causing the convoy to start moving forward instinctively.

Like a medieval sea battle, they dodged gunfire while positioning the side of the pickup to gain enough firing range.

Just as the remaining three heavy machine guns adjusted their angles, 'Chainsaw' suddenly dived forward, lay down, and shouted loudly: "'Impact' blow them up..."

"Boom boom boom boom"

Following 'Chainsaw's' shout, four consecutive explosions occurred, their Broad Swords planted by the roadside detonating from various angles, a barrage of steel balls showered onto the three pickup trucks...

A smaller Broad Sword firing 700 steel balls, four made up 2800 steel balls…

A rain of steel balls flooded the pickups, instantly turning the lead vehicle into a hornet's nest, and the driver of the second vehicle was also killed.

The third pickup barely survived relying on its mates' "cover", but by then Sanderson and his men had dealt with a few terrorists attempting to approach the truck, then turned their guns towards the pickup and opened fire…

As 'Chainsaw' said, prepared versus unprepared, Team B's advantage was clear.

Twenty terrorists were down in less than three minutes!

Instead of recklessly approaching, Sanderson took his team around in a circle, forming a pincer with 'Chainsaw' and his team, carefully approaching the terrorists' corpses to deliver finishing shots…

Indeed, a few playing dead, seeing no chances left, turned over, pulled the pins from their grenades throwing them at Sanderson's men, then attempted to fire their guns trying to take a few with them.

ISIS terrorists in Syria have endured many years under US and Russian oppression, their combat will incredibly strong…

Unfortunately for them, Team B didn't give them a chance, using crossfire to swiftly take down several terrorists, then using the vehicle as cover to avoid the attacking grenades.

Sanderson quickly checked around, confirming no terrorists could strike back, he went over to a terrorist, checked his weapons, then waved to his comrades signaling "'Impact' destroy those heavy weapons, everyone else check the equipment, load all the light weapons and ammunition that can be used into the truck.

We need to drive along the highway for a bit, then find a small road to head to the village and meet up with Hemostat."

Team B knew their current situation was very bad, trapped in ISIS's control area, it was impossible for them alone to escape with those Berbers.

In fact, pushing ISIS to desperation, they themselves found it hard to break free.

Leaving via the highway was not feasible, but Sanderson knew they might need to hold on in the village for a while, hence needed to gather enough ammunition.

Despite Sanderson and machine gunner 'Tailor' being from the Rangers, they had long adapted to using Russian equipment to match the habits of the Diamond Quartet, so the terrorists' ammunition caliber matched theirs.

Using the truck carrying usable ammunition, traveling south along the highway for 10 kilometers, they could enter a small path leading to the village.

If they moved fast enough, they might reach the village before dark and meet up with the Berbers who retreated directly from the steppe.

At this time, Teresa in the safe zone was anxious…

The footage returned by the unmanned airship showed ISIS terrorists increasing from 200 to over 600, with another group of about 500 blocking the exit of the safe zone…

The battleground constantly contested, once again became the focal point for both sides.

This time the safe zone was not the only side with heavy artillery, ISIS had brought in small-caliber cannons, and started heavy shelling on the battleground.

This prevented Teresa from being able to send people to assist Sanderson and his team.

In the simple command center, everyone was very busy as several Kurdish girls leaned into the monitor, staring at the ISIS cannons…

The experience of these terrorists, enriched over several years of conflict with US and Russia, was unbelievable.

But they still underestimated the anti-artillery capability of the safe zone…

In terms of real-time surveillance, even the Americans relying on drones in Syria couldn't match P·B who had unmanned airships.

Unmanned airships in this area are more useful than satellites!

As the ISIS artillery set up their mounts and began preparing for a second round, a girl quickly reported the coordinates of the enemy cannons…

Immediately after, within two minutes, six 155mm howitzer shells covered the area.

Nora's self-propelled artillery was very precise, and with P·B's artillery already having detailed surveys and calculations of the terrain around the safe zone, they adjusted very quickly…

Only vague sound of artillery could be heard in the command center, but the sound of the shells exploding was not heard.

Six large-caliber howitzer shells covered an area about the size of four football fields, with ISIS's two small cannons right in the midst.

After the smoke cleared somewhat, looking at the smoking pickups and overturned cannons on the display, a Kurdish girl excitedly jumped up and exclaimed…

"Hit!"

As the Kurdish girl said this, she glanced at the anxious Teresa, then sat back down and focused on the monitor once again, trying to spot any new threatening targets in the moving images.

However, she soon came across a problem...

"Boss, they've started retreating south. We've spotted some mortar positions being evacuated. Should we call for an artillery strike?"

Decisively, Teresa nodded and said, "Send the coordinates to the artillery. They're trying to block our southern route to the rescue. Let's disable their heavy weaponry first."

The Kurdish observer nodded vigorously and said, "Understood!"

Teresa watched as the observer quickly sent out the coordinates and minutes later, another round of artillery fired...

"Boom boom boom boom..."

High-caliber shells covered an area of the small town previously occupied by ISIS, and two hidden mortar positions among the rubble were obliterated.

Then, the P·B artillery seemed unsatisfied as they switched to airburst shells, initiating another round of carpet bombing on the already-destroyed town...

Airburst shells, exploding in mid-air, are devastating to personnel. Two consecutive rounds of airburst shells quieted that abandoned town entirely.

Teresa knew that what she was doing wasn't right; spending nearly $300,000 in just a few minutes, each shell averaging $10,000.

This didn't even include the costs of transporting the artillery, the shells, and the artillerymen.

This is not how wars should be fought!

Teresa knew that up to this point, the safe zone was still a place that relied on P·B to donate blood to sustain.

Following Antar's commands, she has been trying to expand the humanitarian corridor's influence into Syria in hopes of solving financial issues through basic goods trade.

Teresa was terrified!

She feared that Hu Lang, seeing no hope of filling this bottomless pit, would give up on this place!

In fact, Teresa didn't understand that in this region, P·B could be considered the only legal armed force.

Opposition groups, Kurdish Militia, and even US and NATO forces stationed did not have as legitimate paperwork as P·B.

When Syrian Government Forces come over, they must detour around the safe zone, otherwise, any aggression would be futile.

The safe zone is sanctioned by the United Nations, P·B is the only designated armed force of the safe zone by the United Nations.

The importance of this nominal status cannot be bought with money.

Not to mention $300,000, whether it's $3 million or $30 million, Qiao would not hesitate when it's necessary.

Because by leveraging this place, it opens up the Syrian market.

Regardless of how poor Syria is, their demand for basic materials still exists.

The opposition and the Kurdish Militia have US support; the government forces have Russia's support.

No money, no problem, let your big brothers trade arms or other items, Qiao has the liquidity.

If Qiao were in Teresa's position, the artillery would not have stopped until now!

Last night's airstrike alone burned through millions; why would Qiao care about some money for shells?

But Teresa doesn't understand all this, and spending over three hundred thousand dollars at once was something she couldn't have even imagined before.

In the past, every artillery order was made on her behalf by Sanderson, and they mostly used 120mm large-caliber mortars because the sight of the purchasing prices of the shells would make her tremble.

But now, with Sanderson trapped, she could care less...

Seeing that the terrorists across the river were almost scared off, Teresa picked up the radio and said, "I need 30 volunteers to come with me to rescue P·B's Team B..."

Before Teresa could finish speaking, the radio was filled with a chorus of responses...

"I'll go..."

"I'll go..."

There was no hesitation from the people here about rescuing Team B, as Team B had done too much for this place...

But just as Teresa was about to set off, a call came through the radio...

"Calling the safe zone, this is P·B's Paratrooper Unit, we are the legendary Team E, I'm 'Bullhorn', the captain. We need the exact coordinates of Team B's location..."

Teresa, unaware that Team E was full of crazies, excitedly responded, "South 45 kilometers, oh no, I'll send you the exact coordinates right away...

Please hurry, 'Vanguard' is in great danger right now..."

Mouthy 'Bullhorn', laughing heartily, responded, "I knew those idiots in Team B would get into trouble; I'll take care of them...

We are Team E, we're always ready to jump into hell!

Ow... why hit me, did I say something wrong?"
