Chapter 324: Excessive Firepower
Finding two 23mm anti-aircraft guns is not a difficult task for Gao Yi. He doesn't even need Shaman to take action, because Shaman will definitely be closely watched, and it will be easier for secrets to be leaked if he does something through the National Intelligence Agency.

Although Abdullah already has a team that can ensure loyalty, this team mainly follows Salman instead of being sent out to all parts of the world. So if the National Intelligence Agency wants to do something in Baghdad, it will ultimately have to rely on the old people who stayed behind, and God knows how many of these old people are CIA people.

So we can't find the gun through Abdullah, we have to go through Glass.

The Pentagon is sharing the money now, and it would be inappropriate if they didn't do something about it.

What's more, it's just a trivial matter to quietly open an armory under his control and take out some of the seized weapons and equipment.

If it weren't for confidentiality considerations, Gao Yi would have really chosen from the Iraqi National Defense Forces' active equipment.

However, a warehouse full of captured Ace Ace weapons can also meet the needs.

They came quietly at night, driving two trucks. There were not enough people, so Gao Yi and his team had to do the work themselves. It was not suitable for the Tomahawk Mercenaries to do the work at this stage.

They drove a van, and Gao Yi and the other three came, and then Glass came in person, so Peter and the others couldn't just sit there doing nothing.

The warehouse door was wide open, so there was no need to unlock it. The truck could be parked directly at the door and the items could be moved from the warehouse to the truck.

Glass held a list and whispered, "Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun... here."

There is an area in the warehouse that is specifically used to store machine guns. Several 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns are stacked here. In order to achieve the best combination of high power and small size, the 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun is the best choice that Gao Yi and his team can take away now.

"RPGs are here. There are boxes of unopened RPG-27s here. Do you want to move them?"

Several people began to drag out the old but still useful anti-aircraft machine guns. After hearing Glass's suggestion, Gao Yi said without hesitation: "Bring the RPG-27s, definitely bring them. The mercenaries only have RPG-7s, bring these RPG-27s as well."

The manifestation of the fear of insufficient firepower is that you want to carry anything powerful that you see, regardless of whether it is useful or not, you just prepare it first.

The things in this warehouse are very mixed and messy. Some weapons have no ammunition, and some ammunition has no matching weapons, but you can definitely pick out enough things that Gao Yi and his men need.

Glass pointed to a corner and said, "Do you want a mortar? We have mortars ranging from 60mm to 120mm in caliber. As for shells... well, we have them too."

Gao Yi looked at Feng Biao.

Weapons that can be used by individual soldiers must be brought, but things like mortars have a long range.

Gao Yi and his men were not going to go out into the wild to fight the enemy head-on. The only option was for them to hide in buildings and wait for Free Wind to approach and then open fire from all directions. Therefore, there was no need for mortars, which had a minimum range of at least tens of meters.

The most important thing is that firing a mortar is a technical job. It is easy to fire it, but it is not so easy to hit it accurately. It is also a question whether there are mercenaries Gao Yi can use mortars.

But this matter is up to Feng Biao to decide.

Feng Biao said without hesitation: "The mortar is not needed, the grenade launcher is over there, we can have more of this."

If you can blow it up, then blow it up. If you can't blow it up, then consider using bullets. This is the iron rule on the battlefield.

"Of course there are grenade launchers, but only Russian ones."

Basically, you can take whatever you like without paying, as long as you can pull it up.

Feng Biao took a look and said, "Directional mine, land mine."

Glass looked at the list and said, "Directional mines are on the list, but I don't know where they are. Anti-personnel mines are not there. These consumable items are basically impossible to recycle. Ace Ace doesn't have many, but there are some anti-tank mines."

Feng Biao said helplessly: "Forget it... No, don't worry about the mines, just take whatever you find."

Gao Yi couldn't help but ask, "What do we need anti-tank mines for?"

Feng Biao smiled and said, "Landmines are the perfect match for snipers. No matter what kind of landmines they are, having a few of them around you will make you feel at ease. You can also use anti-tank mines. With a little modification, they can be made into bombs. Bombs that can be detonated remotely are very effective, and they are also very safe. Take them with you."

The Iraqis have extensive experience in using anti-tank mines to modify roadside bombs, and the modification of this thing is simple in itself, so Feng Biao understands it.

I searched for directional mines but didn't find any, but the anti-tank mines were neatly stacked one by one, which was a bit creepy to look at, because there were no boxes or packaging, the mines were just stacked one by one.

Gao Yi was panicking and asked, "Is that how you place mines?" "TM-62 anti-tank mine, the triggering fuse weighs 180 kg, it won't explode even if you stand on it and jump, just throw it anywhere you want."

Feng Biao didn't take it seriously. He held an anti-tank mine in each hand and went back and forth with Lin Xianghua to carry it to the car four times. However, this thing was very heavy and there was no packaging box or anything. The two of them took a total of eight, which was enough.

As for ordinary machine guns, rifles, grenades and the like, these were not needed at all. The mercenary group brought their own, and there were too many of them, so there was no need to carry them again.

Twenty RPG-27s, eight anti-tank mines, two 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and four AGS-17 grenade launchers. However, the number of rifle grenades was not large, only more than seventy.

Looking again, there was nothing worth taking in the warehouse.

Gao Yi said to Glass, "That's all. Let's load the truck and leave."

Glass nodded, and then he whispered, "When you choose the ambush site, two pickup trucks with ZU-23 anti-aircraft guns will be sent from Maidein, as well as a truck loaded with 19 70mm rocket launchers. Ace Ace doesn't have rockets, which are used by the US military on Apaches. It's easy to get special rockets. There are also pickup trucks loaded with Type 63 107mm rocket launchers. Well, there are enough rockets."

Anti-aircraft guns are too eye-catching, and it is too easy to be exposed if you drag them around in the city of Baghdad. So it’s not that Gao Yi doesn’t need anti-aircraft guns, but that he doesn’t use them now.

Anti-aircraft guns must be used, that's what has been agreed upon. Glass has also found suitable and usable anti-aircraft guns, but now he wants an additional rocket launcher, and he doesn't know if it can be used.

Gao Yi looked at Feng Biao again.

Feng Biao said to Lin Xianghua: "I have never fought such a rich war in my life, but rockets, do you think they are necessary?"

Lin Xianghua said without hesitation: "Of course it is necessary, but do we have enough manpower to operate it now?"

Feng Biao counted on his fingers and whispered, "Two anti-aircraft guns, including the driver, each gun needs at least two people to operate. Two anti-aircraft machine guns need at least four people, the grenade launcher needs four people, and the two heavy machine guns need another four people. That's sixteen people alone."

Lin Xianghua spread his hands and said, "Yes, there are seventy of us in total. If we disperse everyone, we will need to deploy at least six firing points for these heavy weapons. Even if we only leave four infantrymen to protect each firing point, the number of people is still insufficient."

Feng Biao said disapprovingly: "It's an ambush, not a positional battle, why do we need so many infantry protection? But forget about the rocket launcher, the rocket launcher takes up more manpower."

Gao Yi felt that the firepower was a bit excessive. Even if Ziyoufeng led an entire company and fell into his trap, there was only one word for it: death.

No matter whether it is heavy armor or no armor, it makes no difference in front of the artillery shells.

Feng Biao said to Glass: "There's no need for rocket launchers or anything like that. Just pull over two anti-aircraft guns. In fact, I don't think anti-aircraft guns are necessary. The key is to find a suitable place to use the guns."

Having said that, Gao Yi asked Glass casually, "Have you found a suitable place?"

Finding a suitable place for an ambush is quite a brain-intensive task.

There are many places suitable for ambushes, but the more suitable a place is for an ambush, the less useful it is.

No one is stupid. Gao Yi found a terrain that was particularly suitable for setting up a pocket formation, hid all his men inside, and waited for the Free Wind people to arrive before starting the battle. This was of course a good idea, but the Free Wind had suffered heavy losses in the previous attack in Libya, so they had to be more careful.

What if the people from Free Wind saw that this was another desperate situation and became wary, and simply didn't dare to go in?

So the ambush point must be chosen appropriately.

First of all, it must be convenient for Gao Yi and his team to hide, because it would be too fake if Gao Yi was still staying in a luxury hotel in Baghdad when facing the pursuit of the CIA.

It is easy to hide, but it is only easy to hide. It is not a suitable ambush battlefield. In this case, there are really not many places left for Baghdad to choose.

This matter must be asked to the local snake Glass, and Glass did not disappoint Gao Yi. He immediately said: "I have chosen three places. You can choose the final one. They are the river bend area on the east side of the Muthana Bridge. The houses here are relatively sparse and the transportation is convenient. It is a suitable place to hide and escape. But as long as the free wind blocks the bridge, you only have one direction to escape.

The other is the southern suburbs of Baghdad, also near the Tigris River. There is a plantation here, with convenient transportation but few people, making it suitable as a battlefield.

There is another place, on the side of the road between Baghdad and Maidain. There are factories on the roadside, both abandoned and in use. This place is suitable for hiding heavy equipment, because there are many vehicles coming in and out every day, and the guns will not be noticed if they are pulled over. But I haven't contacted the manufacturer yet, but I should be able to find a factory. I personally think this is the most suitable place. For any special forces, attacking a factory with not so densely packed buildings is much easier than going to a busy downtown area. "

Gao Yi didn't have any special research, so since Glass said that factories were better than urban areas, then he would go with factories.

Gao Yi nodded and said, "Then you should contact them as soon as possible and find a good place to take the people there. The factory is good and it is convenient to hide people in the factory. Let's do it this way."
