King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 79 Blossoming at the Center

What plan does Joe Ga have?

Joe Ga's plan is simple, not using an undercover operative would be a sheer waste.

Now, because they have eyes in the sky, they already have a clear picture of the opponent's setup; all that's needed is for Dorian to enact the "blossoming at the center" tactic to throw the enemy into chaos, then Joe Ga and Karman can take advantage of the confusion to kill their way in.

How to create the "blossoming at the center" was already figured out by Joe Ga. The Mori Family sent Sea Hound two 120mm mortars, each supplied with a base number of rounds.

As long as Dorian can detonate those mortar rounds at the right time, not only could it cause casualties among their ranks, but it would also foil all of the enemy's plans and turn them into prey being hunted.

In jungle assault warfare, it's not a numbers game, and once Dorian is successful, it's uncertain how many of the enemy could still stand.

Now, Joe Ga and Karman's mission is to locate the enemy's outer sentry posts, based on the positions scouted by Antar, and find the fastest route for a close approach.

As for how to detonate the mortar rounds, 'Leather Headgear' Dorian surely has a method.

As soon as PMC's helicopter arrives near the mine, what they need to do first is to remove the safeties from the rounds and prepare for bombardment; at that time, Dorian will have plenty of opportunities.

After laying out his plan to Karman and letting the old fellow scout out a route, Joe Ga rested on the spot for nearly an hour before Karman returned.

Karman understood Joe Ga's plan, but when it was time to act, he was still meticulous to the last detail.

Guided by drones overhead, Karman quickly located the enemy's rear sentries and marked a swift route for the attack.

The old fellow hadn't undergone any formal training, but at his level of combat experience, some things didn't need to be taught anymore. As long as he's in a familiar environment, he knows what to do.

The returned Karman sat beside Joe Ga, who was continually fiddling with his HK416, and hesitated before saying, "Boss, I think you're better suited to stay back a bit, let me take point as the assault soldier."

With 21 enemies, only six were professional mercenaries, the rest gangster gunmen. As long as Dorian could detonate the rounds..."

Seeing that Karman had finally caught on and was trying to look out for him, Joe Ga smiled, waved his hand, and said, "In this damned jungle, we lose sight of each other beyond 50 meters, so how would we cover each other?

Let's go in together. Honestly, I'm more confident up close than at a distance. If I'm the best shot you've seen, I'm sure I can handle what's to come."

Karman nodded, pointing to the not-so-dense forest on the hillside, and said, "During the operation, stay close to the big trees and never linger in open ground for long."

Joe Ga nodded in acknowledgment, replying, "I get it, I'll be careful!

I find the surroundings here quite friendly. You told me you've been to Congo and Sierra Leone, what are the jungles like there?"

After thinking carefully, Karman said, "It's hard to say. To put it bluntly, just avoid it if you can.

There are no roads, and if you can't follow the rivers, you can get lost in the jungle if you travel beyond 20 meters.

Snipers are useless there because the bullets can't penetrate the dense jungle. In most cases, firing beyond 50 meters is just wasting bullets.

Hmm, in those primitive jungles, grenades and land mines are more useful than guns."

Karman spoke with a grave expression, and Joe Ga knew that he definitely had no fond memories of Sierra Leone or Congo.

The old man wasn't great at summarizing and abstracting, but Joe Ga still picked up on something, that he might not be well-suited for fighting in the primal jungle.

There, it often wasn't a matter of shooting skills, but of familiarity with the jungle and patience.

And on the matter of 'patience,' Joe Ga was notably deficient; he preferred quick, decisive combat.

Joe Ga admired Antar precisely because with her presence, the semi-transparent battlefield allowed him to take his aggressiveness to the extreme.

After asking about some of the precautions for the upcoming operation, Joe Ga conscientiously memorized them, and then his phone vibrated.

Looking at the message on his phone, Joe Ga nodded to Karman and said, "We're ready, the support helicopter will be able to enter the mine's airspace in 20 minutes.

I'll have them pretend to prepare to land to attract their attention, and then as soon as Dorian succeeds, we move in..."

Hearing this, Karman stood up and checked his equipment: tactical vest, bulletproof plates, magazines, grenades, pistol, AK74, hunting knife, as well as the throat mic and FAST multi-function tactical helmet that he never quite got used to.

Joe Ga's equipment was a bit more plentiful, the same tactical vest with bulletproof plates, two M9 pistols, an HK416 rifle, six pairs of 30-round magazines, two defensive grenades, two smoke grenades, a decorative hatchet, and the multi-function tactical scope which was most crucial for him.

For safety, Joe Ga had gone to great lengths, fashioning his own helmet based on the FAST model with a strength superior to the original used by the SEALs.

The bulletproof plates were the most elite of the current models, not just lightweight but also more than twice as strong as a level 4 bulletproof vest on the market.

Fully armed, Joe Ga cut an intimidating figure with his six-foot-three stature, robust physique, and sophisticated equipment, looking even more SEALs than the SEALs, even more Delta Force than Delta Force.

But Joe Ga knew himself well: he was confident in shooting, but when it came to combat, he had a long way to go to catch up with Karman. So when Karman was ready, he obediently followed behind the old guy, cautiously approaching the Sea Hound's camp.

After walking for a few minutes, Joe Ga could clearly feel Karman slowing down for him and continuously using the surrounding environment, using his body as a shield to cover for Joe Ga.

Joe Ga didn't naively feel belittled by Karman; instead, like those in the special forces films, he deliberately slowed down, maintaining a 10-meter distance from Karman with his HK416 ready at all times, and pointed towards Karman's weaker side.

Provided the rear was secure, the two non-professionally trained guys slowly formed a taciturn two-man squad with crossfire capability.

Karman was very satisfied with his boss's approach, as having a gun always aimed at one's weak side or blind spot gave him a strong sense of security.

Fifteen minutes into their journey with Karman leading, he suddenly raised a fist, signaling a stop.

Joe Ga naturally moved close to a large tree and slowly squatted down, then Antar's voice came through the communicator...

"At one o'clock!"

Joe Ga instinctively looked in the 1 o'clock direction as guided, and immediately spotted a sentry 150 meters away through the gaps in the trees.

"Boss, I'll go up first, then you follow."

Joe Ga flipped the rapid-aiming lever upright, peered through the 4x scope, and said, "I'll take out that sentry..."
