King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 327 We Do What We Say

New York Yonkers area, along the Hudson River.

Joe Ga and his team turned off the headlights and drove to an open space near the abandoned shipyard.

Michael Beach wasn't boasting—right as Joe Ga's team arrived, he sent them a detailed map of the shipyard.

Moreover, two helicopters and a six-person support team had already reached Yonkers Hospital, six kilometers away, waiting for Joe Ga's orders.

Although they weren't armed helicopters, having aerial firepower support was decisive for the battlefield situation.

Joe Ga didn't believe those coming to pick up the drugs would bring 'Stingers.' Without anti-air missiles, as long as they did proper friend-or-foe identification, Joe Ga's team would have plenty of room to maneuver.

Actually, Joe Ga didn't really hate the Glorious Society; everyone was natural enemies to begin with, and anything they did to each other was normal.

But Joe Ga despised that rival 'Heinz Farm.' It wasn't dishonorable to fight for money, but they had attacked him twice. Unless he wiped them all out, Joe Ga couldn't swallow his pride.

Joe Ga's team had four cars and nine people, plus the rookie Estelle, intelligence officer Thompson, detective Daniel, and Interpol officer Serial—a total of thirteen people.

Thompson, getting out of the car, sensed some doubt from his boss. He took the initiative, raised his hand, and said, "I'm not cut out for face-to-face combat, but I can serve as a spotter.

I'm pretty good with a rifle, and I have sharp eyesight. Um, my call sign is 'Pigeon'."

He was a seasoned slick operator. Nis had a good impression of him. After hearing his offer, Nis handed over his M110 sniper rifle, then, to Estelle's surprise, fished out the long-unused G29 from the trunk of one of the cars.

Seeing Joe Ga's slightly anxious gaze, Nis slung a backpack over his shoulder, squeezed Joe Ga's arm reassuringly, and said, "Pigeon and I will go find a high vantage point and help you verify the accuracy of the map, too."

Joe Ga shook his head with a frown and said, "The 'Heinz Farm' attackers are all dead; we can't expect them to have no reaction.

Those are professionals. Looking for positions inside the shipyard, you could easily run into them.

DEA's Michael Beach cares about this operation even more than we do. The satellite map he gave is definitely the latest."

As he spoke, Joe Ga took out a tablet, enlarged the electronic map, pointed at the shipyard gate, and said, "Opposite is a warehouse area. You guys set up sniper positions there. We're too short-handed to wage battle on their pre-set stage."

After finishing, Joe Ga seemed to remember something; he pulled Estelle out from the group, fitted her with a tactical vest, and crammed Nis's spare P90 and six magazines, plus two smoke grenades, into her hands, asking, "You know how to use it?

Stick close to Devil Bird and don't run around. If anyone approaches and they aren't one of us, shoot them."

Estelle, looking at Joe Ga as he upgraded her from a shotgun to a cannon, let out a couple of 'uh-ohs.' With Joe Ga's stern expression, she obediently followed Nis to the warehouse area across from the shipyard.

As he watched Nis and the others leave, Joe Ga placed the tablet on the hood of the car, zoomed in on the map, and pointed to the exit of the main road through the shipyard, "We'll split into teams—I, Elephant, King Kong, and 'Medic Officer Bird' will form Team A; Spur, Orange Cat, Blow Dart, and Pincers will form Team B.

Team B will go to the exit, plant explosives, and establish an ambush. We'll take them all out there."

Before Joe Ga could finish, 'Pliers' raised his hand and said, "Sir, I might not have enough explosives."

Joe Ga grinned, gestured to Dorian, and the Italian swiftly went to the back of another car, opened the trunk, and pulled out a box.

After opening it, he stuffed a Broad Sword into his own backpack, then handed the remaining nine Broad Swords to 'Pliers.'

'Pliers,' taking the box and looking incredulously at the neatly arranged Broad Swords inside, exclaimed, "Shit, you were keeping these in the trunk?

I've been driving that car all along. I used it to ram those ambushers before, FUCK, I'd rather sit on C4 than on top of these things..."

Joe Ga could understand the anxiety of an EOD expert who found out he'd been sitting on a bomb all along. He chuckled and said, "There are also two rocket launchers in there; take them with you and make sure to trap them at that spot.

Blow Dart has a leg injury, so be a little careful."

'Spur' patted 'Pliers' on the shoulder and then turned to Joe Ga, "Boss, what about you guys?

If you're planning to attack from near the riverbank, then I suggest we switch places. We'll act as the first echelon, and you handle the ambush."

Joe Ga appreciated Spur's kindness, smiled, and waved his hands, "No need, we're not the first echelon, they are..."

Daniel watched as Joe Ga's finger pointed towards him; he pointed at his own nose and said, "Me?"

Joe Ga turned and took an RPG and three rockets from another car, put the rockets in a bag for Daniel, and also shoved the Minimi machine gun, which Ayu greatly disliked, into his arms...

"You know how to use this, right?"

Daniel wide-eyed, retorted, "I damn well know how to use it, but what exactly are you planning to have me do?

I'm just missing a red headband, and better get me a Rambo Knife too, otherwise I can't beat those guys."

Joe Ga chuckled at Daniel's fierce yet inwardly timid expression. The guy looked tough, but in reality, he had a bit of a gift for dark humor.

Watching Serial, who had already made himself at home by choosing an M4A1, Joe Ga said with a smile, "You guys head downstream, There's a dock there, I don't care if you steal or rob, just get a speedboat into the river.

Once you're close to the shipyard, use an RPG to stop the cargo ship, then fire a few shots to startle them, and you can stay on the river. If anyone tries to escape by water, you know what to do.

I've got night vision and thermal imaging scopes, If you can't hold the position with those..."

Daniel seemed a bit influenced by the atmosphere; he racked the slide of his Minimi and said, "If we can't hold them off with that, I'll trade my Marine Corps medal for some cookies."

Joe Ga laughed heartily and responded, "If there's a problem on your end, I'll have a Boys Scout uniform custom made and sent to your house. Then I'll have someone help you into it and send you off to a press conference.

Soldier, this is war, and we have to follow through with what we say!"

Serial, pulling the chatterbox Danny who wants to blabber away, carried two 200-round ammo boxes for him and then gave Joe Ga a firm nod saying, "Be careful, I guarantee no one will escape through the river."

After sending the others off, Joe Ga noticed 'Medic Officer Bird' attaching a thermal fusion dual-mode electro-optic sight to an AR-15, along with a quick-flip tripler.

Seeing the lightweight monocular night vision attached to Medic Officer Bird's helmet, Joe Ga couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised with a 'Very professional.'

Before Joe Ga could mention how he planned to fight, 'Medic Officer Bird' had already roughly guessed his thoughts and started to rapidly match the suitable tactical gear kits.

Joe hated thermal fusion sights because he felt they made his gun look a bit bulky; he preferred his own compact, quick-mount thermal scope.

Because it was custom-modified, he could attach it with a snap when needed and remove it easily when not, which was very convenient!

He didn't even use a laser designator, not only did he find it burdensome, but more importantly, it was useless at a distance and even more so at close range.

The mere function of aiding in aiming and understanding where teammates were pointing their guns was actually of little use to him, and if the enemy also had night vision gear, turning it on would make him a target.

Another important reason was his belief that relying on such a device would create dependence and habit, leaving no space for improvement in marksmanship.

Though Joe Ga had his own habits, he never forced others to conform to them.

The various calibers of ammunition they've been using in their squad were not uniform; everyone had their own preferences, and Joe Ga let them be.

Patting 'Medic Officer Bird' on the arm, Joe Ga said with a laugh, "We will enter from downstream along the riverbank, using smoke grenades to confuse them and then force them to head toward the exit.

This is a tough job; we need to be fully prepared!"

'Medic Officer Bird,' being an old Delta Force soldier, knew exactly what Joe Ga was talking about.

Four men couldn't create the effect of a thousand troops; their opponents were well-trained soldiers who would launch a fierce counterattack the moment they were exposed.

Only by withstanding their first wave of attack could they force them to flee collectively in vehicles into the trap set by 'Spur' and others. Then, the fight could start in an open area, avoiding the complex structure of the shipyard.

Before that happened, helicopters couldn't enter the fray!!

The adversaries, experienced as they were, knew well it was impossible to escape in vehicles once targeted by helicopters; their only chance lay in using the complex structures of the shipyard to scatter and flee.

This situation was something Joe Ga, who wanted to capture them all in one swoop, couldn't tolerate.

They were still too few in number, and the key to special operations was creating tactical advantage.

At the moment, Joe Ga didn't know if the enemy had night vision scopes or how many?

To ensure their advantage, they needed smoke grenades in combination with thermal scope kits to create a new tactical advantage.

'Medic Officer Bird,' as an old special forces soldier, was accustomed to this approach and was glad that the boss liked it too.

Special forces were exceptionally tough, but they weren't superhumans. What ensured their invincibility was superior equipment and the tactical thinking to match it.

Regular troops could only use smoke grenades as tactical cover—interpreting it as the enemy not being able to see, but in fact, they couldn't see either.

But Joe Ga took smoke grenades to another level, anyway, the first thing was to ensure you couldn't see.

When Dorian had finished gearing up, grabbing an automatic grenade launcher and a dozen smoke grenades, Joe Ga slung on a tactical vest and said to 'Medic Officer Bird,' "This one's going to be tough, you're alright with that, right?"

'Medic Officer Bird' glanced at Ayu, who looked like a warrior of iron, and with a sigh said, "I have no issues, but our enemies might find it problematic!"

Joe Ga, having called out to Ayu, said as they were leaving, "I've heard another saying...

If you don't want trouble to come looking for you, make yourself an even bigger trouble!"
