Chapter 1097: Carrying Out Honor (Part 2)
Most people find scenes like this in war quite novel, but the sponsors who came with publicity in mind do not...
Joe Ga stood on the deck of the Bathtub, fanning himself vigorously and directing a few soldiers to pull up a black tarp overhead...
Watching a group of sponsor representatives sweating profusely as they stood there, Joe Ga said helplessly, "The renovation of the Bathtub was too rushed, and I didn't expect the power system to go on strike.
Right now, power must be prioritized for the command room. We'll have to make do on the deck for the next two days; I estimate it will take no more than three days to fix it.
Sebastian of Triple Tian Peng, a man who has been through tough times, nonchalantly wiped the sweat from his face and said to Joe Ga, "Hu Lang, when are we going to move into Mukalla?
We currently control only two points. If we can't apply pressure on Mukalla soon, the port and airport will soon face enemy attacks.
This isn't good for our plan..."
Seeing the group nodding, Joe Ga amusingly said, "You all being so proactive makes me feel a bit embarrassed...
Let me make it clear first, I'm not increasing your pay!"
Upon hearing this, Sebastian instantly realized there was some leeway...
He exchanged glances with a few fellow representatives, then looked at Joe Ga seriously and said, "Hu Lang, have you had a plan all along?"
Joe Ga laughed and said, "Nonsense, did I come here to sunbathe?
Mukalla has 150,000 people, with terrorists and mercenaries possibly numbering in the thousands. If I put you in there, what can you do?
I said it, I want to fight a different kind of war. Mukalla is the first stop I've set...
I want not only to take over Mukalla but also to completely control it!
The slums are the model. I want the people of Mukalla to understand that P·B is different from others, so that when you enter, you won't face the pressure like in Iraq and Aqionghan.
My intelligence officer has contacts with both the Shah Intelligence Agency and Iranian Intelligence Agency, and he is gathering and integrating internal intelligence on Mukalla...
A week, at most a week, and an Apache squadron will arrive to provide support, allowing us to send a special task force into Mukalla for a trial run!"
Upon hearing that, Sebastian said incredulously, "An Apache squadron?
Impossible that America would get involved; the American military claims this is just an exercise..."
Joe Ga shrugged and laughed, saying, "Exactly, the Zumwalt is verifying its combat capability through exercises...
But the Pentagon is paying attention to the Yemeni battlefield. They generously provided P·B with 12 Apache attack helicopters...
The pilots I've recruited are getting accustomed to these new toys in Djibouti; they need to fully understand these big toys before they can better cover you, right?"
As Joe Ga spoke, he looked at Sebastian's complex expression and said with a laugh, "Brother, we've collaborated in Iraq before; have I ever let my partners down?"
Sebastian was amazed as he looked at Boss Joe and said, "Hu Lang, you're the most extraordinary guy I've ever met...
But I still need to remind you, my men called to tell me that someone is supplying weapons to Al Qaeda through certain channels, including new air defense systems...
We can't wait any longer. Taking Mukalla will connect the surroundings into one area, forming a truly secure zone."
Joe Ga listened and nodded with a smile...
These guys are all veterans with pretty accurate intelligence.
Sending in mercenaries certainly has traffic considerations, but tactically it's indeed the right time...
However, these people don't know that Boss Joe is also waiting for Al Qaeda's counterattack...
The composite battalion is the Hammer, and they need a hard enough bone to smack!
Before P·B has any short-term plans to expand outward, to quell the resistance will of the terrorists inside Mukalla, appeasement is just one method...
Continuous victories on the outskirts, coupled with steady advances within the city, are tactics combined to let Boss Joe take over the city completely without too much cost.
The impact of the first punch entering Yemen was excellent, but the difficulty of understanding brought by high technology makes it hard for terrorists to comprehend the prowess of P·B.
Before entering Mukalla, Boss Joe wants to deliver another punch...

While Boss Joe was talking with a group of sponsor representatives, Antar was in the command room watching the images and signals relayed by the unmanned blimp. She frowned and picked up the radio...
"Attention, position 56 kilometers north, a suspicious convoy is moving, it looks like a forward mobile air defense...
These people seem to be targeting the unmanned blimp?"
The nearby commanders immediately gathered in front of the large screen upon hearing this...
Donahue frowned and said, "Call for a drone to monitor the convoy, once their identity is confirmed, attack..."
Qing Shan shook his head and said, "The other side isn't stupid, knowing we have an unmanned blimp, why would they move on the mainland?
Clearly, this is bait, drone operations remain unchanged, notify the JF-17 to take off, once the unmanned blimp detects radar signals, destroy them with anti-radiation missiles.
The unmanned blimp is our key advantage, absolutely must not be lost!"
Antar looked at the two commanders as they gave their suggestions; she smiled and said, "Gentlemen, the security of the unmanned blimp is our worry.
You need to consider how to face potential enemy attacks...
We've discovered abnormal enemy movements in both the north and east, and their actions are very secretive, you need to remind the composite battalion to be cautious..."
Qing Shan looked at the confident Antar and frowned, "This is no joke, if the enemy has multiple air defense systems, the unmanned blimp has no chance of survival..."
As Antar was about to explain, a Kurdish girl beside her suddenly said, "The convoy has stopped, confirming they are a forward air defense unit...
The enemy's radar vehicle is turning on..."
Seeing this, Qing Shan immediately rushed to his position, picked up the radio and said, "This is Qing Shan, call the drone to area C4532...
Northern Camp's Second Company, immediately proceed 15 kilometers north, there is an enemy air defense unit there..."
Antar glanced at Qing Shan, nodded slightly, and then said to Tony not far away, "Activate the unmanned blimp defense system..."
Tony grinned and said, "Yes sir!
Unmanned blimp number three, passive anti-radar system activated, anti-radiation missiles armed, opening missile bay..."
Saying so, Tony looked at the shocked Qing Shan not far away and laughed, "You're not the only ones with anti-radiation missiles...
Our blimp has them too, and six of them!
Whoever dares to radar us should be ready to get hit by us, haha…"
