The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 372 - 365 Restoring Communication

Ashraf looked at Gao Yuan, then swung his hand forward with a fierce motion and loudly said, "GO!"

Gao Yuan had been held back by Ashraf’s speed, but now that the sniper was taken out, it was time for him to leverage his speed advantage.

He would enter the range where he could accurately eliminate the enemy at maximum speed, and then, take them out.

Gao Yuan started to run, and as he sprinted forward at his peak speed, those enemies who had previously paid no attention finally turned their guns toward him.

The enemy was quite cunning, holding absolute superiority in numbers and firepower, yet still preferring to solve the problem with a sniper. However, using a sniper to deal with just two people, that approach did indeed make sense.

In just over ten seconds, Gao Yuan would be able to close the distance to a very near position.

Machine guns had already completed their rotation and a twin Anti-Aircraft Gun also aimed its barrels at Gao Yuan, but by this time, he could play to his strengths.

He threw the grenade.

Two grenades exploded one after the other, and that machine gun and Anti-Aircraft Gun had no chance to unleash their firepower.

Gao Yuan was strong, but on the battlefield, what stood out was his speed.

Everyone knew moving targets were more difficult to hit but if the target’s speed and direction were predictable, the difficulty of shooting them decreased by half.

But Gao Yuan’s speed didn’t consist of running in a straight line like a fool. His speed was more like a ghost, now visible, now invisible, veering left and right unpredictably.

He was so fast that it became almost impossible to aim at him. Attempting to shoot such a moving target would only be possible by firing bursts, aiming in a general direction and hoping that the target would run headlong into the line of fire.

Over a dozen enemies turned their guns, and every type of firearm opened fire toward Gao Yuan, turning the twenty to thirty meters around him into a hail of bullets.

Gao Yuan immediately hit the deck; he only needed to hide in a sandpit to avoid the dense enemy fire, a simple prone maneuver was all it took to solve the problem.

Now Gao Yuan was less than two hundred meters from the enemy, a distance which was actually quite awkward for them.

Bullets can’t turn corners and couldn’t hit Gao Yuan directly, grenades couldn’t be thrown that far, so to take out Gao Yuan, what the enemy could still use were mortars.

But the issue was, while mortars were convenient to use, hitting Gao Yuan accurately was not that easy unless the mortar operators could directly observe his position.

So now, the only weapon the enemy had left that could pose a threat to Gao Yuan was a rifle grenade.

After lying on the ground for ten seconds, a rifle grenade exploded nearby Gao Yuan, but its power was very small, even less than the defensive grenades Gao Yuan used.

The power of a rifle grenade was inherently limited; unless it could land within three meters of Gao Yuan, it was unrealistic to expect a rifle grenade to take him out, especially since the accuracy of rifle-mounted grenade launchers was not high and often relied on luck to hit the target.

At least the enemy’s rifle-mounted grenade launchers were far less accurate than Gao Yuan’s throwing of hand grenades.

After a brief pause, Gao Yuan advanced again; he needed to reposition to avoid the enemy’s intensive firing of rifle grenades, and he also took the opportunity of movement to weaken the enemy’s resistance.

Gao Yuan dashed diagonally, continuously throwing two hand grenades.

With such a skill in throwing grenades, combined with his speed, and the fact that an ordinary person would find a single layer of body armor heavy and restrictive, but Gao Yuan could wear two layers, he was perfectly suited for the assault role.

This wasn’t even urban combat but open ground, where Gao Yuan’s advantages had already been severely diminished in several layers; had it been urban combat, Gao Yuan would have been invincible.

After eliminating two more enemies, Gao Yuan realized that the enemies trying to intercept him had finally broken down.

They broke; he had finally made the enemy crumble. When the first person turned and ran, Gao Yuan knew that this defensive line had been breached.

Real combat is not like a game because, in a game, even if the battle is down to the last person, there are no soldiers that will collapse psychologically and run away.

But in real combat, seeing Gao Yuan run at a monstrous speed, able to kill with every throw, would first instill an unknown fear. As this monster got closer, impossible to hit, impossible to kill, any normal person would be chilled to the bone.

Therefore, the fact that these enemies held on until now before someone attempted to escape meant their mental strength was already very good.

When the first person started to flee, the rest, as if infected, abandoned their positions. Each person chose a different route to escape; some ran towards buildings close to them, others towards their comrades’ lines.

Gao Yuan charged directly at the twin-barreled anti-aircraft gun.

After dragging a corpse from the gunner’s seat, Gao Yuan sat down, swiftly turning the position of the gun barrel, aiming at the enemy’s position.

He fired a short burst, and Gao Yuan immediately realized that, with the gun in a flat trajectory, the recoil of the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun was too severe; continuous shooting would just waste ammunition.

Therefore, Gao Yuan did not hesitate to abandon the anti-aircraft gun, for continuing to use it would not only be ineffective in combat, but he would also lose his mobility.

It was then that Gao Yuan finally saw people bursting out of the building occupied by Li Yang and his team.

Three men, firing vigorously to suppress enemies on both sides. Although there weren’t many enemies, their formation was very good. Positioned on a V-shaped slanting blockade, they merely needed to fire casually to drive the three men who had emerged back in.

Three had charged out, only to skirt around the entrance and be forced back inside; moreover, only two returned running, with the third crawling back.

A single probe, and they had another casualty.

Gao Yuan watched, seething in frustration and helplessness, as he truly had no way to provide cover for those inside to break out quickly.

Just at that moment, Gao Yuan noticed something that seemed to fly out of the building.

Gao Yuan immediately ducked behind cover, but he only stayed there for two seconds before he promptly left the machine gun cover. As soon as he left, the enemies on the left fired two shells, piercing right through the sandbags of the cover.

Unable to linger even a few seconds longer at his first position, Gao Yuan could only move back and forth rapidly, searching for a secure cover. During this time, the object that had flown from the building finally reached the airspace above Gao Yuan.

At a height of only a dozen meters, a drone hovered, with a walkie-talkie dangling beneath it.

The drone descended slowly, landing on the ground with the walkie-talkie, and Gao Yuan sprinted over, bending down to scoop up both the walkie-talkie and the drone at once.
