King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 393 - 379 Unexpected Situation
A series of handgun bullets fired, taking down a gang gunman who was about to shoot at him.
Right after that, as the bullets from the mercenaries sought her out, she had just dashed into the corner of a huge outdoor piece of equipment...
"Changing magazines..."
’Hemostatic Forceps’ showed no signs of panic, she calmly squeezed into the corner, first replaced the magazine of her handgun, then grabbed a shotgun from her waist pack and swiftly began to load it...
’Hemostatic Forceps’’ aggressive attack drew the attention of at least half of the opposition, while Joe Ga and Vanguard, who had been laying down suppressive fire while advancing, pulled the pin of an offensive grenade and rolled it along the ground when they were about a dozen meters away from several vehicles.
"Boom"
"Boom"
After two loud explosions, Joe Ga, holding his rifle, swung around the rear of a car, taking down two mercenaries bleeding from their nostrils due to the blast, then quickly circled around the vehicle to check, shouting when a large group of gunmen rushed out from the main gate...
"Area around the vehicle is safe, Vanguard meet up with me, Hemostatic Forceps stay put, machine gunners..."
Before Joe Ga could finish, a barrage of bullets hit the vehicle beside him.
He and Sanderson each took cover behind the front wheels of two cars, and then they heard the machine guns of Ayu and Waters spring into action.
Because the vehicles were parked to the right of the main gate, and Ayu and his position were to the left front of the warehouse gate, those gunmen never expected two machine gunners to be in place, as they crazily attacked Joe Ga and his team, they essentially delivered themselves to the machine gun bullets...
"Bang bang bang bang..."
"Dada dada dada..."
The two machine guns swiftly reaped the lives of several gang gunmen, sending the rest retreating in terror back into the warehouse.
The instant the enemies at the gate were suppressed, Joe Ga and Sanderson tacitly pulled out an offensive grenade and threw it into the gate a dozen meters away.
"Boom"
"Boom"
After two more loud blasts, Joe Ga, still not assured, threw a flashbang grenade inside.
Immediately after, ’Hemostatic Forceps’ slipped along the wall to the edge of the gate, pulled the pins of two offensive grenades and threw them in.
While the grenades exploded, Sanderson stood up and dashed to the other side of the warehouse gate, quickly peered around the corner, exchanged a nod with ’Hemostatic Forceps’, and without any signal, they both swiftly entered the warehouse with their guns ready...
The two instantly covered each other’s blind spots diagonally and quickly shot the enemies wounded by the grenades.
And Joe Ga, right after they rushed in, followed swiftly through the middle, searching for enemies and waiting for King Kong and Tailor to catch up from behind.
The entire warehouse was divided into three sections by the walls; the outer section was used by gunmen and mercenaries as a rest area, the middle was a money counting room, and the northernmost space was a storage area for cash, which also connected to the warehouse’s rear door, their loading and unloading bay.

After quickly searching the warehouse’s outer section and finding no trace of enemies, Joe Ga shouted "Clear!" and then approached a tightly shut internal door with his gun at the ready.
The entire assault process had taken less than 2 minutes and none of Joe Ga’s team was injured.
For the drug traffickers and mercenaries whose main weapons were submachine guns and AR-series rifles, the arrival of Joe Ga’s team was a form of asymmetrical warfare.
Joe Ga’s and Sanderson’s positions had been pretty dangerous, but their marksmanship was extremely high, and they quickly took down several of the most capable mercenaries right at the start.
Moreover, from beginning to end they kept their distance, forming crossfire that quickly suppressed the remaining mercenaries, who couldn’t even manage an effective counterattack.
The original plan was to have Ayu and his machine guns follow up immediately if the enemy reacted quickly, breaking the enemy’s counterattack quickly with crossfire.
However, Joe Ga and Sanderson were so efficient, and most importantly, ’Hemostatic Forceps’ was so fierce.
She alone drew the attention of nearly half of the enemy, giving Joe Ga and Sanderson the opportunity to advance quickly and precisely bomb the enemy with grenades, and also gave Ayu and his team a few more seconds to then wipe out several gunmen who rushed out.
There was no need to discuss the final assault, four offensive grenades plus a flashbang—if they were still to get injured in a counterattack, that would not be a tactical issue but one of luck.
Throughout, this 5-person squad formed multi-angle crossfire...
Joe Ga and his team together with Ayu and his team locked down the main gate with their crossfire.
After Joe Ga and his two teammates spread out, their crossfire entirely opened their fields of fire, exposing most of the enemies to their line of attack.
Such a high-quality raid could only be achieved when the enemy was completely unprepared.
But Joe Ga and his team executed it very well, smoothly and without any hitches.
Those mercenaries didn’t even get the chance to demonstrate their combat abilities before being pinned down and turned into corpses.
Losing the tactical initiative, lacking in capabilities and firepower; this was indeed asymmetrical warfare!
Just as Joe Ga and his team had taken over the outer section, the fight at the back of the warehouse was also over, and ’Spur’ and his team had simultaneously taken over the warehouse back door.
As Joe Ga positioned himself by the door, he heard ’Spur’ loudly exclaim through the communicator, "Warehouse back safe, FUCK, Orange Cat is wounded..."
On hearing this, Joe Ga frowned and said, "What happened?"
"Boss, hostages, they took some of the money counters as hostages, Orange Cat got shot in the chest and the leg, chest’s fine but the leg’s troublesome."
Joe Ga, upon hearing this, shook his head helplessly; this was the frustrating part about police special forces teams.
In extreme situations, they instinctively protected the safety of the hostages.
It didn’t matter how fierce the enemy was, this was an inertia caused by their constant training.
Joe Ga patted ’Hemostatic Forceps’ on the shoulder and said, "Go to the door and find a car to circle around and check on him. If things look bad, evacuate with Orange Cat first."
After speaking, Joe Ga pressed the communicator and said, "Team B block your side of the passage, we’ll handle clearing the count room."
Having finished, Joe Ga gestured to Ayu to turn around, then he unfastened the buckles of the detector fixed to the Scorpion Backpack, slid it along Ayu’s exoskeleton extending around her waist to her front, opened the Velcro, and secured the shield detector on Ayu’s left arm.
He flipped a switch that fully opened the detector, which looked like a four-leaf clover.

Soon, the situation inside the counting room was transmitted to all tactical cell phones.
The remaining eight gunmen were terrified, huddled inside the piles of money, using a group of counting workers to form a human wall.
They couldn’t launch a direct assault now!!
Joe Ga, having determined the enemy’s position, kicked the door open and then heard a series of chaotic cries and the drug dealers’ yells…
Joe Ga and Sanderson exchanged glances, somewhat helplessly shook their heads, and then shouted inside, "We’re with the FBI, everyone inside surrender now.
"You can’t run, you have 5 seconds to consider!!"
The DEA and FBI both had personnel on the perimeter, and P·B now had a semi-official status. If many hostages died, it would greatly diminish everyone’s merits, and even more seriously, might lead to accountability for both parties.
They had anticipated this situation before arriving, even considering acceptable casualty figures, being one to two hostages.
But they hadn’t expected that during the raid, they would encounter the hostages moving goods.
A slight delay not only injured Orange Cat but also allowed more gunmen the opportunity to escape into the counting room.
As soon as Joe Ga finished speaking, shouts came from inside, "Don’t come in, or we’ll kill them…"
Saying this, a gunshot rang out, and the scantily clad female counting workers inside let out a chorus of screams.
Joe Ga, holding a gas grenade, hesitated for a moment without pulling the pin, just as he was wondering whether to negotiate with the drug dealers inside like in a movie scene, when Tony suddenly called out on the communication channel, "Boss, a convoy has appeared 2 kilometers away, with six off-road vehicles and six vans, four of which have been seen at the warehouse before.
"It’s the drug dealers, boss, the drug dealers’ reinforcements are coming."
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga immediately understood why those inside didn’t try to escape with the hostages; they were waiting for backup...
However, something still didn’t quite add up. The cell phone signals around them were jammed, so how did the drug dealers send out the message? And why did their backup arrive so swiftly and well-prepared?
As Joe Ga pondered this, an FBI operative named Cooper suddenly said, "Hu Lang, the big drug deal Frester mentioned!!
"A private cargo plane just landed at a private airport north of Pasadena. Our agent saw people unloading drugs from the plane.
"The deal was moved up a day."
Joe Ga was stunned for a moment and said incredulously, "FUCK, Harlotte never intended to transfer the Sinaloa Group’s money to Mexico, but rather facilitated the HLY deal between the Glorious Society and Sinaloa.
"Those guys are here to transport money for the deal!
"Shit, there must be several tons of cash here; how much drugs does that buy?"
Cooper paused and then said, "It should be a lot. Although our agent only saw a part of it, the initial estimate is that the drugs in the cargo plane exceed 2 tons.
"Frester mentioned approximately 200 million in cash in the warehouse.
"This small change sent to Europe circulates easily but still requires a discount to buy drugs.
"Drug syndicates obtain high-purity HLY to dilute and package, which at current prices can sell for about 300 million US dollars.
"This deal is reasonable, and it must have been facilitated by Harlotte."
Joe Ga understood Cooper’s point. The Glorious Society received 200 million in cash, effectively wholesaling HLY at market retail prices.
On the other hand, Sinaloa was relieved of the hassle of money laundering, saving a lot of expenses while also exploiting retail network advantages to make about 30% more – a win-win transaction.
That Harlotte truly was a business genius. Even if calculating a 10% commission, he would pocket around 20 million from each side on this deal.
And all he had to do was arrange the airport and get through the Federal Aviation Administration; he had no other risks.
As Joe Ga thought this over, the DEA’s Michael Beach suddenly said, "Hu Lang, we need to detain the drug dealers coming to withdraw the money.
"The Los Angeles police can’t be trusted; we need to shift our main force to the airport to seize those drugs, leaving just a team of agents and a small HRT team to support you.
"Cell phone jamming can’t stop; otherwise, the airport will get the message and flee.
"Only when we’re sure we control the airport can we officially call the Los Angeles police for support.
"Until then, this place might become an ’island’...
"Hu Lang, can you hold them off?"
Joe Ga looked at his comrades beside him, first pressed his communicator and asked, "How is Orange Cat doing now?"
"Through and through wound, bleeding has been stopped, no problem."
Joe Ga nodded, then said on the public channel, "We have to move those drug dealers into the warehouse area and hold them there.
"I’m not sure how many of them there are; what do you think, can we do it?"
Sanderson pulled out a flashbang grenade from his chest, grinned, and said, "Boss, we can’t just let those bastards from the Glorious Society get away, right?"
Joe Ga pulled out a flashbang grenade himself, signaled to Ayu to take position at the far end of the warehouse, then pressed the communicator and said, "Team C, go meet Iron Shovel Potato.
"Tony, here’s your chance; release the remaining four Springblades.
"The moment they enter the warehouse area, stop the trucks and block the main gate."
Having said that, Joe Ga pulled the pin on the flashbang grenade, nodded simultaneously at the ready Sanderson and Ayu, and then hurled the flashbang grenade into the counting room...
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
