King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer
Chapter 925 - 835 The Tough Battle Begins

The battles in Syria have touched many hearts...

After the drone was bombed, boss Joe Ga 'disappeared' for a few days.

But when the live broadcast of the battlefield resumed, P·B showed the world the true cruelty of war.

Wallace's 'office' moved from the buildings in the village to a cellar.

As the only 'media professional' on the scene, Wallace had not slept for three days.

He sent out the footage of the recent battle in the village, editing and capturing the footage to the outside world.

Letting people know about the hardships and dangers here, reigniting the already heated topic of war.

The attacks around the village started after the drone was shot down; from the initial sporadic rocket bombardment, they gradually developed into snipers and cold artillery...

This wolf pack tactic with dispersed large troops has begun putting immense pressure on the villagers!

The support from the air force was constant, but with the fixed 'eyes' in the sky gone, relying solely on drones circling above the village, the reconnaissance efficiency has been reduced.

Now P·B is like walking on one leg, the efficient bombing of the past is gone, replaced by the guided bombing of special forces.

But the problem remains, without the rear team monitoring a wide area, no one can confirm targets quickly.

Expecting special forces to pinpoint the core of the enemy in a hostile environment requires a lot of patience.

From the very beginning, the battle fell into a stalemate...

ISIS's main force showed incredible combat resilience, their snipers and artillery were depleting P·B's ammunition stocks.

With scattered soldiers, the efficiency of P·B's aerial bombings also decreased.

Initially, both sides were dragging...

Boss Joe Ga wanted to hold off ISIS, buying time for America or Aaron to deal with the dirty bomb issue, and to fulfill his contract thoroughly, guarding Iraq and Syria's interests tightly.

And for the past two days, ISIS has been trying to wear down P·B using wolf pack tactics...

Not only draining their spirits but also consuming their ammunition.

Modern warfare is about logistics; after terrorists used 'Stinger' to damage another Super Albatross, the village side lost any opportunity to seek air-dropped supplies.

Regrettably, ISIS underestimated the capability of Joe Ga, this 'munitions lunatic'...

How could Joe Ga not be prepared when he knew what he was facing for such a long time?

With a large amount of early air-dropped supplies mixed with Joe Ga's own moved goods, now there are 6 armories within the village, enough for Joe Ga and his team to exhaust ISIS until they were bankrupt.

The only issue was manpower...

Not all outsiders could be pulled back, P·B's permanent T1 forces remained on the outskirts.

They would roam between nearby towns, identifying valuable targets, and then choose to raid or call for bombing.

This ghostly stealth attack tied down nearly half of ISIS's forces and effectively relieved the defensive pressure on the village.

Those European Volunteer Soldiers who had traveled far to assist were instead pulled back to help with the defense in the village.

On the third day, these Western European soldiers initiated a real tough battle under adverse conditions.

This was completely different from their experiences in the Kabul Coalition Camp in Afghanistan...

Unable to run away, outnumbered, not clear fire superiority, and with no maneuver advantage…

When ISIS thought P·B's troops should be tired by now, they launched a frontal fierce offensive in the early morning.

A large number of ISIS soldiers, scattered, closed in on the village from all sides.

The first wave of attack put tremendous pressure on the village...

60mm mortars fired from all directions caused explosions, sounding like a charge trumpet which extremely excited the attacking terrorists...

The two Predator drones in the sky providing cover, launching Hellfires, couldn't scare them at all.

Even one was shot down by ISIS using a 'Stinger' as it flew too low.

This man-based frontline air defense neutralized part of P·B's air force, making the battle for the village immensely difficult.

Those European special forces who returned victorious earlier, now fully immersed in pride, but the intense fighting just started not long ago, they already suffered casualties...

A 12-man team of Greeks 'Spartans' was hit by a 60mm mortar while moving inside the village.

Then two suffered concussions, and another one had his lower leg blown open by a severe wound.

These men were tough; their surviving members hauled and dragged the injured under the cover of female soldiers from the Martyrs Camp to the medical room.

When the Greeks entered, they realized several others were already lying in the medical room.

An Italian unfortunate had his scalp lifted by exploded debris, not a severe issue, but it looked horrific and gory.

Two Austrian soldiers were hit by stray bullets, one in the leg, the other in the arm.

A Swedish soldier lying on the ground was already breathless, where the specific wound was could not be seen, but his lower abdomen drenched in blood indicated he had been hit.

The village's small perimeter and the fierce initial enemy offensive resulted in heavy losses!

When these special forces arrived, each team had a medic, and now all of them have been temporarily conscripted to set up this battlefield medical post under the command of the medical officer.

When the Greeks entered, a few guys with abrasions initially wanted the medics to help them bandage, but seeing Xiao Hei from P·B sitting there, he cut off two fingers that were hanging by skin and flesh and grinned, asking the doctor to help him suture...

"Doctor, missing two fingers is no big deal, bandage me up, I need to return to the position..."

Greeks are usually indulged, but at this moment, they couldn't entertain the thought of occupying medical resources.

Logically, having encountered such intense combat, soldiers within the NATO system should call for support and then seek retreat.

But the Greeks displayed exceptional toughness this time...

Apart from requesting to transfer their severely wounded teammate, they didn't mention "retreat" at all.

The medics were quite busy, so they quickly treated their wounds themselves and returned to their position.

This bunch of 'Spartans' came with orders...

Hu Lang, as a Greek citizen, has his health insurance paid in Greece.

Now that this big boss has established a huge influence in Africa, the Greek government wants to leverage on his benefits and must sincerely cooperate.

Greece's shipping and shipbuilding industries are very developed, and the owner Joe, who controls the Mediterranean Filling Station, is exactly who they need to court.

When a few 'Spartans' rushed out, they exactly met Joe, who had come for an inspection...

Seeing a bunch of lightly wounded 'Spartans' who refused to leave the frontline, Joe approached them and touched fists, saying, "Guys, can you still hold on?"

The leader of the 'Spartans', Pantos, exchanged a look with his fellows, and then nodded heavily, saying, "Sir, we have no problem, we are confident in holding this position.

However, one of our buddies is seriously injured, and I would like to request a helicopter to come and transport my buddy to a rear hospital for treatment."

Joe peered inside the medical post and then nodded, saying, "No problem, the helicopters at Mosul are always ready, but we need to plan a safe route for them to successfully come here."

With that, Joe patted Pantos' shoulder and said, "You're doing great, I've never said 'thank you' before, hope it's not too late now."

Pantos, nearing 195cm tall, subconsciously straightened up and said, "Sir, we are the best team in Greece, and we are glad to fight alongside you..."

Joe was stunned for a moment, quickly understanding the subtext in Pantos' words...

If not for the Greek government constantly reminding him, Joe could have nearly forgotten he was a 'Greek'.

Greece has been in dire straits since its bankruptcy.

The bankruptcy helped them to avoid a massive amount of foreign debt, but a lot of their high-quality domestic assets were taken to pay off debts.

The current Greek government is barely operating, and the country's welfare system has completely gone awry.

If not for the support of the European Union and the boost from tourism, the Greek government might not even be able to pay civil servant salaries.

Seeing Pantos' serious look, Joe nodded slightly, took out a business card, handed it to him, and said, "Whoever sent you, tell them I'll talk to them when I'm available..."

As Joe looked at Pantos who let out a sigh of relief, he smiled and said, "First, go to the warehouse and get new bulletproof inserts, and once we all survive this, I'll treat you to the best wine.

Right now, I extremely dislike Turkey, I believe we definitely have a lot in common!"

Pantos' eyes brightened...

Greece and Turkey are mortal enemies...

When Europe was being redivided, England and France, in order to counterbalance and annoy Turkey, assigned several large islands close to Turkey to Greece, surrounding Turkey's north Aegean Sea exit entirely.

Adding to the existing disharmony, the two countries have never had a break from disputes over maritime rights for many years.

Talking with soldiers, as long as everyone dislikes the same person, it's easy to find common ground.

But clearly, Pantos came prepared, and after a heavy nod, said, "Sir, although we were ordered to come, personally, I really hope someone like you can bring glory to Greece.

The person who sent us asked me to convey a message to you, if you are interested in developing islands, the Gulf of Guinea in Africa isn't the best choice.

Greece has the world's best island resources, and the fleet of the Princess of Monaco needs a completely independent port, we have a navy base in Crete that has been vacant for years...

That base is directly north of Tubruq, a critical passageway through the Mediterranean."

Joe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "We'll talk about this after we've dealt with the current situation, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory reply..."

As Joe looked at Pantos who clearly relaxed, he continued, "Our artillery and drones have taken out the enemy's mortars, but the combat to follow won't be easy.

Hurry up and get new bulletproof vests...

Don't worry, I will never disappoint those who trust me!"

Pantos, just a soldier, couldn't fully understand what those words exactly implied...

But Joe's intentions were made very clear 'I will give you a satisfactory reply', meaning that no matter how things evolve later, the benefits won't leave out these 'Spartans'.

That's enough!

Honor achieved!

Benefits secured!

To fight to the death, isn't that what soldiers do?
