Mercenary’s War
Chapter 164 - 164 163 Beast Corps

164: Chapter 163 Beast Corps 164: Chapter 163 Beast Corps But when Gao Yang and his team were about to enter the exercise site, Jacklan, who had been standing to one side, suddenly swung his fist and shouted, “Beast Corps, go, go, go!”

Everyone turned their attention towards Jacklan, because no one knew who he was cheering for.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone’s faces, Jacklan yelled again, “Frank, take them down!”

The crowd suddenly understood, thinking that Jacklan was cheering for Frank and that “Beast Corps” might be some kind of common nickname for Jacklan and Frank.

However, what Jacklan shouted next only confused everyone even more.

Frank waved his fist at Gao Yang and the others, who were about to sprint off, and loudly said, “Beast Corps, show what you’re made of, give them a tough time.”

Gao Yang stopped in his tracks, puzzled, “Are you cheering for us?”

Jacklan replied earnestly, “Of course, haven’t you noticed that all the supporters here are for Frank and his team?

So, I thought it necessary to cheer you on.

Let you feel the power of support, perhaps it will improve your performance.”

“Our mercenary group is called the Satan Mercenary Corps, not the Beast Corps.”

“Sorry, I only know your nicknames, um, Ram, Big Dog, Rabbit, Frog, Little Fly—please, you’ve got creatures that fly, run, and swim…

Well, even if the flyer is an insect, I can’t just call you the Animal Corps, right?

Actually, I think the name Beast Corps is quite good, it suits you better than Satan Mercenary Corps, especially for me.

Of course, that’s assuming I join you.

Then the Beast Mercenary Corps would really live up to its name.

Just a hint, my nickname is a type of bird, and it has been chosen as the national bird of Israel.”

Destin replied helplessly, “Jacklan, stop bothering us.

Besides, there’s nothing to brag about with your nickname.”

After saying that, Destin gestured to Gao Yang, “Don’t mind this brain-dead playboy, all his brains have been sucked out by those streetwalkers.

Let’s go.”

Gao Yang actually found the name Beast Corps quite interesting because he also realized that the nicknames assigned to his own team seemed more fitting for the Beast Mercenary Corps.

Gao Yang was also curious about Jacklan’s nickname, but now was not the time, so he had to temporarily shelve his curiosity.

When Gao Yang and his team entered the exercise field, they heard Jacklan’s shout again, “Beast Corps, since our nicknames are all animals, I support you, Beast Corps, come on!”

Jacklan was cheering on Gao Yang and his team again, but his cheering made no difference whatsoever.

Both sides had five people, and before the exercise started, they seemed to be evenly matched, especially since Gao Yang and Li Jinfang had each overcome their opponents in their respective areas of expertise.

It felt like the Israeli special forces weren’t that impressive, or perhaps that Simon and the other four who were once special forces members weren’t that impressive.

However, as soon as both sides switched to war mode, rather than the competitive nature of the exercise, Simon and his four companions taught Gao Yang a good lesson, showing him what a real special forces team was like, – the very top special forces team.

In the first round, a simulated assault battle, Gao Yang and his team of five, as the defenders, occupied a fortress in a spacious exercise area filled with various obstacles and fortifications.

Glolov took the role of the machine gunner, and with Li Jinfang and Frey, he stayed inside the fortress.

Gao Yang and Cui Bo, as snipers, took up positions behind cover on either side of the hidden fortress.

But as soon as the exercise started, Simon’s team of five entered the field in a dispersed formation.

The unassuming, bespectacled Frank, just a few steps after entering the field, fired a single shot that took down Cui Bo, also a sniper.

Gao Yang also fired once, making smoke rise from Destin’s head, as he noticed Destin holding a sniper rifle.

But right after Gao Yang fired, Frank immediately took out Gao Yang.

Then Gao Yang watched as Hill dropped his assault rifle, picked up Frank’s sniper rifle, fired a shot towards the bunker, and instantly, colored smoke poured from the head of Glolov, who was firing from the bunker embrasure.

The exercise had just begun and three key members of Gao Yang’s side were already “dead”.

Facing this outcome, Gao Yang found it incredible, but he had no choice but to admit unequivocally.

Simon’s side was left with four people, and they ended the battle with ease, because Li Jinfang and Frey couldn’t even stick their heads out of the firing ports in the bunker.

Soon after Simon’s team advanced to the bunker, Li Jinfang and Frey were killed inside.

The guns used in the exercise fired lasers, and to simulate real warfare to the greatest extent, these practice guns were made as close as possible to real guns in terms of appearance, range, and firing rate.

For instance, sniper rifles had a longer range but slower rate of fire, while machine guns had a long range, but the laser would automatically scatter within a certain range.

As for assault rifles, their range was limited; if the target was out of range, firing the gun would not hit anyone.

Since they were using lasers, there were definite differences from real guns.

At least snipers did not need to consider wind speed and trajectory when firing, nor did they need to worry about the speed of the bullet’s flight.

As long as the aim was accurate, firing the gun would surely hit the enemy, so it was much easier than using real guns.

Although there was a big difference between the exercise and actual combat due to the weapons, the problem was that both sides were using the same weapons.

Why could Frank quickly find Cui Bo and shoot him dead immediately, instead of Cui Bo doing the same to Frank?

Moreover, Gao Yang managed to kill Destin, but when Hill picked up Destin’s rifle, he swiftly transformed from a fire support gunner to a marksman.

Before Frank hit Gao Yang, Hill dared to ignore him and target Glolov instead, because Hill knew Frank would definitely take care of Gao Yang.

Gao Yang’s side was supposed to be on defense; they had fortifications and cover to utilize.

Despite this, they were beaten without spirit, especially Gao Yang, who felt strong but had no opportunity to show his power before he was hit and taken out of the game.

Destin’s team certainly had the advantage of being more familiar with the training ground, but when Gao Yang saw the five men of Destin’s team coordinating and advancing like flowing water, he immediately realized what real special forces combat should be like.

Perhaps in terms of individual skills, his own team wasn’t at much of a disadvantage, but when it came to operating as a squad, there was no comparison between them and Simon’s team.

Gao Yang was happy to lose because he knew in which direction he needed to work hard, and he understood what a team should be like.

They had never had the chance to train together before, nor did they have anyone to guide them, but now things were different.

They would train at a real special forces base, even if this special forces unit didn’t have a name, it was certainly one of the world’s top special forces units.

They often had to attack bunkers during battles against the Arabs, which was why the training camp had outdated military facilities like bunkers.

However, field combat was more accessible for Gao Yang’s team, so the second exercise was a field battle with cover in the desert terrain.

The second exercise did not distinguish between attackers and defenders.

Both sides entered the exercise field at the same time, and the battle would start as soon as they encountered each other.

This time, Gao Yang was determined to show off his skills, but just as he emerged from behind a sand dune and spotted the traces of Simon’s team, he hadn’t made a move when he heard a “beep” sound on his body, and a puff of red smoke erupted from his head.

With real guns, after spotting the enemy, it would certainly take some time to aim and adjust before firing, or else it would be difficult to hit the target.

However, with lasers, one could hit the enemy at the speed of light as soon as they aimed, without considering the time difference and trajectory.

So, whoever spotted the enemy first would win.

Gao Yang’s marksmanship might not necessarily be worse than Frank’s, but since he didn’t spot Frank first, the defeat was his.

The second exercise ended even more tragically for Gao Yang’s team.

In the first round, Gao Yang managed to kill one person and thus wasn’t completely humiliated, but in the second round, they were completely wiped out, while Simon’s team had no casualties.

With their superior strength, tacit cooperation, and familiarity with the terrain, Simon’s team achieved a complete victory, which improved the mood of both Simon’s men and Wolfgang considerably.

Although Gao Yang’s team was utterly defeated, they were also happy to lose because the stronger the opponent, the better the training they would receive.

It didn’t matter if they lost, as long as they didn’t leave the training having lost after completing it.

Thus, the two exercises ended in satisfaction for everyone.

Wolfgang said with a grin, waving his hand, “Beast Corps, pack up your stuff.

Someone will come to pick you up in a while.

Don’t worry, I assure you that you’ll perform much better when you leave my base.”

After listening to Wolfgang’s cheerful remarks, Gao Yang could only smile bitterly and say, “General, our mercenary group is called Satan, and also, can someone tell me what the national bird of Israel is?”

Wolfgang scratched his head, “I don’t know anything about a national bird.

Does anyone know if Israel has a national bird?”

“Upupa epops.

In 2008, it was chosen as Israel’s national bird after a vote.”

The speaker was not Jacklan but Frank, who, in his usual calm and somewhat dull manner, paused then seriously said to Gao Yang, “Upupa epops, that’s the Latin scientific name for the national bird of Israel.

You wouldn’t understand Hebrew, I don’t know how to say it in Huaxia language, so I had to say the Latin name of this bird.”

Jacklan said in surprise, “Hey, Frank, you actually know how to say my nickname in Latin.

I didn’t even know that myself.

I was worried about how to tell them what my nickname is.

But now, do any of you understand what bird Upupa epops is?” (To be continued.
