Chapter 435 Change of plan
Azi talked in the public channel, so every Spirit Fox immediately realized what enemies they were facing, and aerial support was denied as long as heavy machine guns posed a threat to the helicopters.
Su Ruomei knelt beside Jiang Yu and exchanged worried glances. Her team reinforced "Sister Jiang, do you think our armor can stop 50 caliber bullets?"
"Well, I'm not sure. Sister Tang said it's capable, then it must be able to stop." Jiang Yu shook her head and replied. "Trust her, will you? And do you think we might get hit with our skills?"
"Hmm. Yeah, I almost forgot about our skills. We are too dependent on our safety level provided by the equipment." Su Ruomei scratched her cheeks and answered. "If only we have snipers to target these machine gunners."
"We're all marksmen to begin. If we're armed with a better-magnifying scope, sharpshooter is an understatement." Jiang Yu replied. "Besides, based on Azi's description, they are properly armored like we did to the turret gunner. If they fired from the distance before the road bends around the corner, we're doomed."
Su Ruomei followed Jiang Yu's finger and nodded helplessly. They were both familiar with military tactics and doctrines.
Although the defensive position covered the only pathway from the main road to the gate, the enemy could use the corner's advantage to annoy them.
For instance, if they rotated two technicals to fire in turn from the corner, the enemy maintained fire superiority, providing a chance for their troops to advance, which Spirit Foxes were trying to prevent.
"I'll arrange a team to cross through the dense treelines and prepare to flank these technicals." Su Ruomei answered after a few thoughts.
Jiang Yu agreed. "Brilliant idea, Sister Su. As expected of you." Her face fawned over Su Ruomei, making the latter smile awkwardly. Her closest friend who she considered as sister, was becoming more and more weird.
"Give me 5. I have new orders." As soon as Su Ruomei spoke, five operators rushed from their original positions without hesitations. "You've heard what Azi said on the radio. I'll designate you as a team, temporary call sign—Echo—to flank the incoming technicals when you've got the initiative and the opportunity to destroy them. You, five, will be the saviors. Can you complete the mission?"
"Wilco."
"Yes!"
"Absolutely."
Tang Ziyi's lips twitched, learning Athena's jubilant mood. She wondered if Ling Qingyu would curse again, for leading her daughter to kill people. She also anticipated what Athena might transport as heavy weapons.
As for worrying about malfunctions, bullshit! Athena's computing power ensured more than perfect simulation in a short time. The cost was a matter of power source which could be regenerated easily when Athena rested again, provided computer power reached its maximum extent. Athena always completed the task with perfection. Sometimes, Tang Ziyi envied Ling Qingyu's luck.
"Here they come," shouted Xiao Yue. No need for her to remind because Spirit Fox reacted the moment the convoy reached the corner.
Unfortunately, the gang members weren't stupid enough to cross the corner and enter the kill zone. They dismounted and prepared to assault. Ordinary vehicles parked to the side, giving way to the technicals.
Two improvised armored vehicles mounted with Dushka rolled forward and stopped again. Although Spirit Fox couldn't see, covered by large trees, every operator frowned as they could imagine what the enemies were doing based on the sounds.
Su Ruomei radioed: "Just adapt and prolong the fight till Echo reaches the staging area. It seems Hotel 1's option is gone. The enemy is far better tactically sounded than we expected."
"Hotel 1, received." Tang Ziyi replied with a dark face.

"Hotel 1, in any case, you better exercise caution. You're more of a target for those machine guns in elevated positions."
"Acknowledged. Hotel 1 recommends Hotel 3's LMG focus on the turret gunners if possible."
Jiang Yu replied. "Hotel 3 will follow your recommendations."
Nobody talked about the other gang members because they were never a threat to begin with. A few operators could deal with these small firearms during the exchange.
"Sierras waiting for your command, hotel 1. Tell us the most vulnerable moment to strike." Azi requested. "We aren't staying out of the fight, and leaving the girls alone. We'll provide necessary aid if we can."
Tang Ziyi: "Copied Sierras. Glad to hear your help."
