NOVEL WEB Chapter 423: Bombing
```
Knowing that the boss was about to approach his location, Poison Scorpion, as the team leader of Team C, felt quite a bit of pressure too.
Because there were many people at the forward camp, and they were all veterans from Aqionghan who had survived many battles, even with air support, it was not easy to take them out in one fell swoop.
If the air force really were invincible, the United State Army would not have struggled in Aqionghan for so many years.
Even though those veterans did not seem particularly adapted to the jungle environment, they still maintained good combat habits—spread out and never concentrated in one location.
What was called a forward camp was actually a large camp, plus several smaller camps at strategic points around it.
About 300 Aqionghan mercenaries formed a chain, with a constant force of 100 within the main camp, suppressing God's Armament's soldiers and controlling the discourse, while another 200 were dispersed outside, constantly rotating like links in a chain.
They patrolled back and forth between the perimeter guard posts and the camp in 8-hour shifts without pause.
Team C and those jungle Ghosts, better adapted to the jungle than the Aqionghan mercenaries, could infiltrate on a small scale around them, but once a firefight broke out, they might face pincer attacks from both front and back.
In modern warfare against experienced enemies, it is impossible to overwhelm the opponent with bombardment alone.
The best method is to destroy the enemy's headquarters and communication systems, then start hunting them down with helicopters, while ground troops carry out interceptions.
Poison Scorpion spent two days figuring out the enemy's setup, but Team C only had four people, plus fifty jungle Ghosts, and with the support of the Mi-8s in the rear, even adding the bombing by Super Albatross, attacking from one direction might be possible, but to wipe out all the enemies at once was just too difficult.
However, human potential is limitless, and knowing there were 14 Super Pressure Hellfires available from the boss, Poison Scorpion started to entertain the idea of a frontal assault.
No need for any special operations, Ghosts would head east to launch a strong attack and draw attention, Team C would go west to guide the Super Pressure Hellfires for precision strikes, and the air force would be responsible for bombing the forward camp.
Let a few run if they would; driving them into the Congo Jungle, those desert fighters from Aqionghan probably wouldn't come out in large numbers...
Compared to letting a few mercenaries escape, being mocked by the boss felt a tad worse!
After making up his mind, Poison Scorpion pressed the communicator and said, "Everyone get ready, Ghosts to the east, await my command to start an attack and draw the enemy's attention, two Mi-8s responsible for mobile cover.
After Super Albatross drops the bombs, remain on standby in the air, ready to cover ground forces.
FUCK, may God bless you guys to strike accurately..."
Big Beak Bird One was led by the real Ace 'Cobra', along with three loaned pilots from Seville.
Hearing Poison Scorpion's meticulous instructions, 'Cobra' snorted disdainfully and said, "Little birds, some fool down there is looking down on you..."
'Cobra' was a true superstar in the Seville Air Force; working with an idol was thrilling for every combat pilot from Seville.
No sooner had 'Cobra' finished speaking than the three temporary workers, codenamed 'Little Bird 123', began to loudly express their discontent...
'Cobra' actually liked the attitude of these juniors and said with a smile, "A chump even worse than you lot is about to show up.
If your achievements don't surpass his, I'll write to your mothers and tell them to bring their feeding bottles and fetch you guys home from the military."
The venom 'Cobra' displayed silenced the channel for a few minutes, then all three Little Birds geared up...
"Little Bird One, twin missile launchers ready, GPS-guided targeting locked, ready to dive bomb."
"Little Bird Two, twin missile launchers are prepared..."
"Little Bird Three, ready for bombing at any moment..."
'Cobra', satisfied, nodded and said, "All ground forces turn on your IR headlamps; bombing will begin in 5 minutes."
The already positioned Poison Scorpion on the ground grimly massaged his temples. 'Cobra' was also a big shot who couldn't be offended back in P·B; he decisively turned on his IR lamp and then said through the communicator to the sniper Xiao Luo, "Xiao Luo, you are responsible for guiding 'Cobra' to bomb the southern guard post..."
```
The Air Force has started to snatch up tasks, everyone hold back, do not act rashly, if we encounter resistance, mark the enemy with the laser designator, we've got to endure this for a moment..."
After Poisson Scorpion cut off communication, he nodded at Poisson Snake beside him...
Poisson Snake gestured with a smile, then moved quickly forward, slithering through the dense grass like a real snake, reaching the vicinity of a sentry post.
A sentry post housed 50 people, but 15 of them would patrol in three teams. The patrol area was not extensive, but it posed a significant obstruction to Poisson Scorpion and his team.
Poisson Snake lay hidden in the grass, waiting for a patrol of five soldiers to leave before he swiftly crawled forward and planted a Broad Sword mine near a spot the patrol was bound to pass.
Poisson Wolf was doing the same thing in another direction. Once they had everything ready, they carefully retreated back to where Poisson Scorpion was.
After waiting about 15 minutes, as the boss's voice came through the channel, Poisson Scorpion was first to activate his laser designator, directing a green beam at the sentry point within the shelter.
Then, watching two patrols about to enter the Broad Sword's lethal range, he counted down the time while speaking over the communication channel, "Target is marked, attack in 2 minutes."
No sooner had Poisson Scorpion spoken than Joe Ga's voice was heard over the public channel...
"Target locked, Team C, do you have any other targets? As the boss, I can sponsor you one more Hellfire for $70k, a real bargain!"
Poisson Scorpion chuckled dryly as he tapped his thigh, replying, "Boss, one is enough. If we run into trouble, we'll ask for your help in time."
After finishing, Poisson Scorpion signaled to his two comrades, and then the trio retreated 200 meters to the rear flank.

This position was right at the junction where the ranges of two sentry posts intersected. Watching the two outermost patrolling soldiers struggling through the grass about to come into contact, Poisson Scorpion said, "Begin~"
As Poisson Scorpion's words fell, a meteor streaked across the distant sky; then the sentry point exploded violently, with aluminum powder dispersing into a combustion that formed a mushroom cloud rising into the air.
The sudden missile strike caused the remaining sentry posts to sound the alarm, but Poisson Scorpion ignored them and decisively pressed the detonator for the Broad Sword...
"Bang! Bang!" Two explosions sent two teams of trainee soldiers screaming to the ground. Soon after, Lone Wolf picked up his UMP45 and charged forward 100 meters, firing at the still dazed meeting patrol soldiers in an instant.
Team P·B's logistics were extremely efficient; their arsenal was equipped with various exotic attachments available on the market.
For instance, the assault soldiers of Team C, influenced by jungle veterans, didn't fancy light machine guns but managed to equip their UMP45s with drum magazines, which looked like two testicles.
This particular attachment, favored by gang gunmen, unleashed considerable power in the hands of the three members of Team C...
"Dadadadadada..."
"Dadadadadada..."
Poisson Scorpion and Poisson Wolf pinned down the enemy with the ferocious firepower of their two guns, while Poisson Snake circled around, throwing several grenades towards the enemy's position.
Just as they were about to cross the junction of the two sentry points and penetrate further towards the advance camp, a whistling sound suddenly erupted from the sky.
Poisson Scorpion looked up to see a Big Beak Bird completing its dive, releasing two 500-kilogram bombs that unfolded their wings in midair and plunged towards the southern sentry point.
Because it was a low-altitude drop, the bombs reached the area surrounding the sentry post almost instantaneously, followed by a massive explosion. It was as if two huge stones were thrown into a calm river, with the intense shock wave spreading outwards in a circle, carrying shrapnel with it.
The sentry post, constructed of wood and mud, was pulverized by the violent blast, with fragments of wood and human bodies flying in the explosion.
Watching the explosion a kilometer away, Poisson Scorpion involuntarily shivered, then noticed movement in the distant grass. Just as he was about to raise his gun, he heard sniper Xiao Luo shouting in the communicator, "Don't shoot, it's me, FUCK, you almost scared me to death..."
Poisson Scorpion, looking at Xiao Luo's haggard appearance, decisively said, "We continue forward, um, find a high point to block any escape routes from the camp..."
Just then, six massive explosions resounded in the distance...
