Chapter 2466: Chapter 2442: Crown Forces
An extended long-range assault initiated at night is what Gao Yang and Satan excel at.
A battle involving thousands requires the capability of a regiment-level commander, while a battle involving tens of thousands requires at least the command capability of a division leader. Gao Yang neither has experience in commanding large-scale battles nor the ability to lead thousands in combat,
Any skill requires learning and practice; Gao Yang lacks the necessity to command large-scale battles, thus lacking the motivation to learn. Therefore, his ability to command large-scale battles is truly lacking. However, commanding a special operation with only a dozen people is exactly what Gao Yang excels at.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Gao Yang is the world’s foremost expert in commanding small-scale special operations, his incomparable experience is invaluable, and even more so the fact that he has commanded almost every type of special operation: hostage rescue, decapitation operations, jungle warfare, street combat, indoor combat, mountain warfare, supported battles, unsupported battles, and even naval battles.
In terms of experience, Gao Yang is the most experienced commander in the world, and Satan is the most battle-experienced team globally. No matter how many formidable special forces the major powers have, their commanders surely lack practical combat opportunities. No amount of drills can match up to the lasting impression of actual combat.
Regarding equipment, Satan’s gear is top-notch, especially in light weapons, which are world-class.
Satan’s personnel structure is highly reasonable, with exceptionally outstanding candidates in every position, and this team is incredibly stable and cohesive.
In short, one sentence is enough to summarize the power under Gao Yang’s leadership—so far, Satan has never lost a battle.
Now, with the artillery gone, Liang Dong’s fate unknown, and Vorvitsky’s life uncertain, Satan’s essence remains undamaged. If an action piercing straight into the enemy’s core is to be initiated, Satan remains the same Satan.
It only took ten minutes for all of Satan’s members to gather.
Gao Yang donned his tactical suit, put on his helmet, wore his mask, completely shedding the Yemeni disguise, and returned to his most accustomed outfit.
No need to hide, neither logistics nor the support need to be considered, nor does the burden of dragging a lagging team weigh on Satan—this is the true Satan.
Customarily, pre-battle preparation is essential. Gao Yang stood before the members of Satan, pointed to a spot on the map, and shouted: "This is Ohalaham Village. Those who attacked Cobra are hiding here. Their commander is a prince, a major general. Our target is to annihilate the enemy. Now, for a mission briefing.
Ohalaham Village, with approximately 600 residents, is emotionally inclined toward Saudi Arabia. Once combat starts, its inhabitants could very likely be hostile towards us, which must be heeded.
Ohalaham Village is 32 kilometers away in a straight line. We will drive to Ohalaham Village; the entire route is approximately 80 kilometers, about two-thirds through mountainous regions, and one-third through the desert, estimated at three hours of drive time in total. Present time is 9:20 PM; best case scenario, we arrive by 12:30 AM.
Highlighting Prince Fahad, it can be inferred from his name that he is the legitimate grandson of the former King, a senior commander in the Shah’s General Staff, holding the rank of major general, and an experienced special operations expert, who learned special warfare in America. Judging by the process and result of commanding the assault on Cobra Corps, he lacks combat experience.
Major General Fahad is keen to showcase his talents, while also being proud. Since the assault on Cobra Corps, his confidence seems to have ballooned, and obliterating a frontline elite unit hasn’t satisfied him. Thus, he has led his subordinates deep into Yemen, determined to initiate a more significant special ops mission. However, we currently cannot ascertain the purpose of his temporary stay at Ohalaham Village.
Based on existing intelligence and my judgment, Major General Fahad has formally learned how to conduct special operations and possesses some command ability with a strong ambition for battle. Yet, his approach shows that his command is somewhat rigid, attributed to a lack of experience, so we are likely to encounter textbook-like defensive arrangements. This will trouble our infiltration, but the enemy commander’s insufficient field commandability benefits us.
Now, regarding the troops we are about to face, our adversaries are Saudi Arabia’s most combat-capable, intensely trained, and best-paid Special Forces, reporting to the Shah’s National Guard. One reminder: The National Guard is the Shah Royal Family’s backbone and confidant, far surpassing the Shah National Defense Forces in power."
The enemy numbers around one hundred. We lack precise figures and can only speculate based on the Cobra Corps attack scenario.
We cannot ascertain the enemy’s equipment, only that they are still using six Black Hawk Helicopters, and six Longbow Apache attack helicopters accompany the operation. All enemy aircraft have landed in the desert near Ohalaham Village; their exact locations need reconnaissance upon arrival.
Our specific action: The primary target is to destroy all enemy attack helicopters, then destroy the enemy transport helicopters, and finally, target the enemy infantry.
Now to our side’s arrangements, all Satan members will be deployed, with Black Demon accompanying; specific deployment will be determined upon arrival at the operational area.
Apart from Salim, no one knows of this operation. The entire operation must remain absolutely confidential until we end the battle and achieve victory. Only then, Salim will announce the news and personally lead the Dagger Assault Team for support, so we essentially have no support, just someone to clean up the battlefield for us.
Above summarises, the operational briefing ends, anyone questions, or requests can be raised now."
After completing the pre-battle briefing, Eileen was the first to raise her hand. Gao Yang pointed to her, and Eileen promptly saluted, excitedly exclaiming: "Commander! Can you please tell me the designation and name of the enemy unit, Commander!"
Gao Yang pondered briefly, then loudly stated: "Currently, no accurate intelligence confirms the enemy unit’s designation. It is speculated that they might be a Special Operations Battalion under the Shah’s National Guard Royal Guard Corps, with no designation. This unit is touted as the crown atop the Shah’s military, and due to its mission, this unit is simply called the Crown! Our opponent is the Shah Crown Forces, the possibility is very high. Any other questions?"
Eileen gave a crisp salute, loudly declaring: "No more, Commander. I am thrilled to add obliterating the Crown Forces to my résumé. Thank you, Commander!"
Gao Yang returned Eileen’s salute at this moment, Rafael raised his hand, then loudly asked: "Boss, why resolve the enemy helicopters first, instead of taking out the enemy commander immediately."
Gao Yang clenched his fist, replying in a deep voice: "Attack helicopters are the most threatening fists of the enemy, transport helicopters are their legs for escaping. First, we cut off the enemy’s arms, then break their legs, ensuring they can’t escape, even if they try. Although this is a decapitation operation, we can save the enemy’s head for last."
