NOVEL WEB Chapter 1054: A New Enemy
Joe Ga climbed to the rooftop and met up with the Medic Bird who was setting up the defensive position...
The Medic Bird gathered the scattered ammunition on the ground and repaired a Gatling gun. When Joe Ga climbed to the rooftop, he was connecting the ammunition belt.
The rooftop area was enormous. There were four detection radars oriented in four different directions, achieving seamless surveillance within an 800-meter radius around the manor.
Of course, the radars had already been destroyed!
The rooftop had parapet walls built with concrete and clad with granite, and just like in the manor of Boss Joe, there was an anti-aircraft and anti-tank system installed, only hidden by the parapets, which is why it wasn't detected in previous reconnaissance.
There were 8-barrel Stinger and 8-barrel Javelin missile launchers connected to the radars.
If anyone tried to attack by helicopter or speedboat, the only outcome was to be shot down.
Joe Ga couldn't help but wipe away cold sweat from his hands. Damn, if 'Iceman' and his team hadn't scouted in advance, rushing in blindly could have gotten him killed halfway through.
No wonder the guards in the manor seemed so ordinary. The real power was here.
Small forces couldn't break in, and large teams using vehicles trying to enter the manor could only come by air or waterway. How could they fare against this front-line anti-aircraft and anti-tank system?
The unique terrain of this manor made it nearly impossible to capture using conventional means unless fighter jets were used to carry out the assault.
Facing the grand gift offered by Anon Talan, Joe Ga was pleasantly surprised. He went over and physically disconnected the missiles from the manor's internal control system and radar system, and tried connecting them with the Tyros system...
Unexpectedly, the Tyros system, with its versatile functionality, successfully took over the launch control system.
The backup power of the manor kept two sets of anti-aircraft and anti-tank systems operational, but without radar guidance, they lost their aiming and firing capabilities.
Joe Ga launched a new Tyros mini-drone to test it out. When he targeted a spot using the goggles, the missiles mounted on the automatic launch platform quickly rotated to the optimal firing angle.
This discovery delighted Joe Ga. He used the goggles to aim the anti-tank missiles toward the manor dock and then activated the communicator, saying, "Iceman, you keep an eye on them, I'll handle the attack. I have 12 Javelin missiles here, haha..."
'Iceman' didn't know what happened on Boss Joe's side. He said in a heavy tone, "Boss, those people are very experienced; it seems they don't plan to land at the dock.
They seem to be planning to land at the bend of the river and launch an attack from the flank.
That position is beyond the range of the Spearhead missiles..."
With a heavy tone, 'Iceman' said, "The patrol boat has mortars; if they use the mortars from the other side of the riverbay instead of approaching directly through it, you might be in danger."
Hearing this, Joe Ga snapped, "FUCK, it must be the people in the underground safe house communicating with the outside world; they know our methods."
While speaking, Joe Ga used the goggles to control the mini-drone to fly higher, trying to lock onto the enemies on the other side of the riverbay...
The 'Javelin' is a very advanced man-portable anti-tank weapon with an extremely effective top-attack mode.
Since it's a diving attack, theoretically it should be able to bypass the rainforest obstructions and lock the target via the drone, launching an attack from above.
Joe Ga's idea was purely theoretical, but when the drone found the enemy's speedboat, Joe Ga realized it was over 4 kilometers away from his position, basically out of the Javelin missile's range.
However, as it wasn't coming out of his pocket, Joe Ga believed that someone as wealthy as Anon Talan would definitely equip with the most advanced model...
So he simultaneously locked onto two speedboats that had already stopped near the riverbank...
"Targets locked, six Javelins firing at once, Fire～"
The six missiles on one launch platform were all activated, and as they launched, flames erupted from their tails, roaring into the sky.
Joe Ga was monitoring the effect of the Javelin missiles through the drone...
Taking advantage of the height of the manor's main building, the six Javelins crossed a distance of about 3.8 kilometers, then began to dive downward from around 50 meters high.
Joe Ga guessed right; Anon Talan was willing to spend money; the missile performance was excellent.
Unfortunately, the tall trees of the rainforest provided ample cover for the two patrol boats; as the six missiles dove at an angle, they were unable to adjust their posture at the end and crashed into the upper midsection of the rainforest canopy...
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of explosions echoed through the rainforest; only three of the six missiles penetrated the rainforest, with only one hitting the side of a patrol boat...
The over 20-meter long patrol boat, hit by the Javelin, immediately had a small hole, followed by a massive explosion that covered the deck, blasting several soldiers into the river.
The deck explosion wasn't the core; the patrol boat was disabled by the missile's penetration, with the high-temperature plasma and the blast inside completely incapacitating the vessel.
A group of rescue soldiers, whose bodies were still in the river, were taken aback by the sudden attack. Then their leader, Big Beard, reacted and shouted loudly, waving his hand, "Get ashore, get ashore, into the jungle, quickly..."
Nearly 30 soldiers rushed to the riverbank, stepping deep and shallow, and quickly dived into the rainforest. Another patrol boat frantically started its engine, driving the front half into the riverbank mud, using the jungle trees to block the attack route of the Javelin missiles.
Joe Ga saw the situation there through a drone. If it were ordinary woods, Joe Ga thought he could still use the Javelin missile by chance, but the Brazilian Rainforest...
The missiles definitely cannot penetrate the lower part of the rainforest!
"'Iceman', keep an eye on them. I can't see those soldiers anymore..."
"Understood!"
Joe Ga received the reply from 'Iceman'. He ran to the side of Medic Bird, grabbed the foot of the Gatling, and said, "The enemy has mortars. They've stopped 4 kilometers away; it must be 120mm mortars.
Staying on the rooftop is too dangerous. Let's head downstairs..."
The medic bird listened and nervously said, "Boss, the room downstairs can't cover all directions if they attack from the sides..."
Joe Ga waved and said, "Never mind, let's go down. There are only thirty-odd of them, but we have plenty of missiles."
Medic Bird listened, decisively lifted the Gatling, and while walking, shouted to Dorian, "Bring more ammo crates..."
Dorian gathered up all the scattered ammunition boxes on the floor, then slung an M240 machine gun over his shoulder, forcefully carried the ammo box, running and cursing, "FUCK, next time we must take King Kong with us, I fucking miss her..."
When Joe Ga rushed into the stairwell, he turned back and laughed, saying, "Elephant, I heard it all!
I'll pass on your longing for King Kong to her!
I used to think you weren't good enough for King Kong, but who's to say since you're my best bodyguard!"
Dorian tripped on the stairs, steadied himself against the stairwell wall, stammering, "Boss, you can't joke about such things, King Kong's husband is pitiful..."
As Dorian spoke, a whistling sound came from afar, then a mortar shell exploded on the lawn not far from the main building...
"SHIT, boss, see, that's a taboo topic; mentioning it brings bad luck!"
Joe Ga watched Dorian fleeing and laughed heartily, chased after him with Medic Bird, carrying the Gatling...
Medic Bird watched Dorian running swiftly while carrying dozens of pounds, and laughed, shouting, "Elephant, I think that's a blessing sound of the artillery..."
Dorian raised a middle finger in displeasure, shouting, "Don't joke about King Kong? You can't take a beating!"
"Boom"
The moment Dorian shouted, another shell exploded. This time the mortar shell accurately hit the rooftop of the main building, exploding near a water tank...
The power of the 120mm mortar is immense. The construction quality of the main building is very good, but still trembled during the explosion.
The explosion made Joe Ga tense. He quickened his pace, saying while walking, "The second shot hit the main building. This is a skilled hand, we need to be more careful.
We must cut off communication with the safe house and the outside world and take down that Anon Talan; otherwise, I'm worried more enemies will come here to block us."
Saying so, Joe Ga and Medic Bird together moved the Gatling into a room located in the middle front of the main building so the Gatling could cover the entire front lawn.
Then he shouted at Dorian, who was organizing ammunition, "Elephant, you with Medic Bird and Ronnie hold them off, I'm going down to deal with Anon Talan."
When Dorian heard this, he nervously stood up and said, "I'll go with you..."
Joe Ga firmly shook his head and said, "There aren't many guards left by his side, I can handle it alone!
But it's not feasible above, we're short-handed."
With that, Joe Ga instructed Dorian to connect the still-functioning missile system through the Telos system, patted his shoulder, and seriously said, "There are six Javelins left, twelve Stingers, 'Iceman' and the others have eight Spearhead Missiles.
Use the Stingers if necessary; fragmentation rounds are no good against armor, but definitely effective against people."
When Dorian heard there were so many missiles, he was even more reluctant to stay...
Unfortunately, Dorian didn't understand that Boss Joe wanted to handle the underground situation alone because to open the safe house required some extraordinary measures, especially taking anything valuable inside.
Joe Ga never doubted Dorian's loyalty, but things that transcend cognition like 'cheat codes' must rot inside one's own belly!
