King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1824 - 1504: The Right Location
The Minimi, a small-caliber machine gun, seemed like a toy in Ayu's hands...
But now this toy was pushed to its performance limits!
The 5.56-mm caliber machine gun may not be known for its fierce firepower, but with the Scorpion Backpack and its heat-resistant barrel, its sustained firepower and close-range shooting accuracy were intimidating...
The grenade launcher was hiding behind a park sculpture...
Ayu, suppressing the scattered troops from the park along a 50-meter wide front, spotted the opponent's grenade presence and immediately aimed the muzzle at them...
A barrage of bullets hit the edge of the marble sculpture, and the flying stone dust frightened the grenadier into curling up, shouting for his comrades to break him out of this situation.
A gunman with a big beard wielding an AR tried to suppress the machine gun with rapid fire when the previously inactive convoy 'Orange Cat' suddenly swung open the car door, propping an AA-12 onto it and firing in the bearded man's direction...
"Bang bang bang bang..."
After the loud gunfire, the brave big beard looked like he was struck by the devil's claws, with gaps appearing at his waist and thighs as if chewed by a shark...
"Ah..."
As his body lost balance, the big beard clutched his spilling intestines, collapsing to the ground with a scream of utmost agony...
With 'Orange Cat' joining the fray, the convoy's firepower began to erupt...
The door of the Humvee swung open, revealing 'Jackal' and several big beards fresh back from Syria, who split into two groups, using AK102s and machine guns to suppress enemies in the park and on the west side...
'Spur', responsible for evacuating civilians, suddenly felt relieved...
Once the last unfortunate passerby was evacuated into the club, 'Spur' urgently beckoned his crew to establish a firing line at the entrance, maintaining suppression while calling loudly on the communicator, "Boss, you can retreat now..."
"GO..."
Joe Ga forcefully patted Ayu on the shoulder...
Ayu got the message, holding up the Shield and rushing out first, suppressing enemies on the west side while slowly transitioning towards the convoy across the street...
Rhino swiftly brought Ronnie and the medic out to the periphery, turned his gun to swap shooting targets with Ayu, and suppressed the enemies from the park while keeping Boss Joe guarded inside...
The guy with the grenade launcher thought he had another chance after Ayu changed targets...
But as he loaded a new grenade and wanted to fire again, bullets from Rhino hit straight into his chest and belly...
Rhino's RPK was also small-caliber, but his steady hands enabled over a dozen bullets to surround the first spray of blood mist, instantly turning the unfortunate one's torso into a dreadful blood and flesh mud pit...
From the time Boss Joe appeared till now, just around 5 minutes had passed, but the situation turned 180 degrees...
The Bolton Family gunmen attempting to advance earlier were now suppressed, unable to move an inch...
If it wasn't for the abundance of cover, the Bolton Family gunners would have likely suffered significant casualties by now.
Joe Ga followed closely behind Ayu, constantly searching...
Upon seeing a familiar face through the 3x scope, he grinned and called out, "That's Tim Bolton over there, let's get in the car..."
As he spoke, Joe Ga tapped Ayu on the shoulder again, loudly commanding, "Elephant, smoke grenade..."
Dorian set down his rifle, pulled out two smoke grenades, and tossed them onto the westbound lane...
A few seconds later, thick smoke emerged in the middle of the street...
Joe Ga dashed towards a Humvee in the convoy's center, slammed into a seat, pounded on the roof and shouted, "Get in, get in, follow the plan..."
'Orange Cat', somewhat unsatisfied, reloaded the AA-12 with a new drum, then sat in the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and made a U-turn on the spot, heading toward the eastern intersection...
Right now, P·B could fend off the opponent, but with so many adversaries, engaging in a standoff was highly risky, and simply 'repelling' them didn't align with Boss Joe's personality nor the mission's objectives...
Moreover, outright eliminating all the attackers wouldn't garner empathy from the New Yorkers; how else would people perceive 'Ladder of Light' as a sinister threat to everyone's security?
The convoy, consisting of six Humvees, aggressively spun around and reformed, crashing through the blockade set up by two NYPD cruisers...
As they passed by the police car, 'Orange Cat' tossed a radio to the roadside, ensuring a cop picked it up before loudly announcing over the radio: "The attackers are from 'Ladder of Light', aiming to kill all 'Critical Strike Group' shareholders...
You can't stop them, protect yourselves..."
The cop who picked up the radio heard 'Orange Cat's warning, appreciating P·B's loyalty, then began to urgently request reinforcements using the police radio...
"We need support. 'Ladder of Light' ambushed P·B's convoy. They've been fiercely battling for nearly 15 minutes, both sides suffering severe losses. Now P·B's convoy has withdrawn from combat, but the Indians seem inactive...
Dispatch center, 'Ladder of Light' members are also getting into their vehicles, they appear to want to pursue P·B's convoy...
"We need SWAT and enough police force to block the nearby traffic, it's too close to Wall Street, we can't let them..."
The police officer calling for backup was interrupted before he could finish his sentence...
"Ensure your safety and head to the vicinity of Trinity Church to meet up with the patrol, we are setting up positions at the intersection of the Fair Building and the New York Stock Exchange..."
Just after saying that, the radio was cut off, it was obvious that the dispatch station over there understood the importance of Wall Street better than he did. The New York police department's first priority was not to arrive at the scene, but to deploy defenses at key intersections...
Just as the police were about to call their companions to get in the car, Tim Bolton, who was already on top, called his crew, with some getting into cars to chase in the direction Joe Ga and his group left, while others turned to walk through the park, intending to block Joe Ga and his group from the other side.
They were all well-trained soldiers, and of course, they would survey the surrounding environment before taking action, plus there were observers assisting them from high vantage points.
At this moment, they still had the advantage in numbers, and as long as they could stop Joe Ga and his group, there was a chance to create a miracle.
As for the police who had already set up defenses, Tim Bolton didn't care at all...
The firepower of the New York patrols was insignificant compared to his, and the traffic near Wall Street destined SWAT to be delayed.
As long as he could take down Hu Lang, someone would naturally bail him out afterward.
Because they didn't need to turn around, the convoy led by Tim Bolton moved a little faster than Joe Ga and his group...
The police officer who picked up the radio was in the middle of a call with the dispatch center when the convoy sped past, heading onto the southern highway, relentlessly chasing the convoy of Joe Ga and his group...
A few of the braver mercenaries directly leaned out from the passenger seat, holding rifles and continually firing at the rear of the Hummer convoy...
This car chase and gun battle completely ignited the financial center of New York...
Of course, the pedestrians on the street avoided it like the plague, but on the high floors of the buildings on both sides, those white-collar workers perpetually in search of thrill stood by the windows watching the road, and some trendy individuals even turned on livestream mode, broadcasting the battle near Wall Street to the whole world...
Because of the police blockade, the road that was usually tightly jam-packed was now unusually smooth...
Due to its weight, the speed of the Hummer could never pick up, and it was gradually caught up by the convoy behind...
Bullets clattered against the body of the Hummer, putting these high-end Hummers, fresh from the battlefield, through a real bullet test.
Perhaps getting impatient with the chase, the roof of two vehicles in the Hummer convoy suddenly opened...
Ayu and Rhino, the two machine gunners, set up the machine guns and opened fire on the pursuing convoy.
The 5.56mm bullets had decent penetration, piercing through the cockpit of the leading van, hitting the driver multiple times, causing the vehicle to lose control and crash into a sports car parked by the roadside...
The right front wheel rode up on the flamboyant front end of the sports car, then the entire van flipped over on its side...
The two vehicles behind, unable to brake in time, crashed headlong into the underside of the van, ensnaring the entire street with a thunderous crash.
Just when everyone thought P.B.'s convoy would soon escape danger, gunshots rang out from the nearby Fair Building...
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
After a few heavy gunshots, two small holes appeared on the hood of the lead flashy Hummer...
The Hummer, which had been moving forward domineeringly just moments ago, suddenly seemed to choke, 'coughing' a few times before experiencing severe jolts and then losing its forward momentum...
Once halted, the sniper from the building was not yet satisfied, they successively disabled the second and third Hummers before retreating into the building amidst counterattacks from the ground level...
"Sniper..."
At this point, in the police emplacements about 250 meters from Joe Ga and his group, someone shouted out a spine-chilling term...
"Anti-material weapons, find cover, find cover, notify SWAT, have them send a helicopter..."
Meanwhile, Joe Ga, whose vehicle had been disabled, in a moment of collective panic, opened the door and rushed into the nearby New York Citibank...
Upon entering, seeing the gray-haired security guard holding his gun grip unsure of what to do, Joe Ga walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't be afraid, we're here to take care of the enemy, you go inside and calm the people down, have them retreat deeper into the bank as much as possible..."
"Outside are assassins from the 'Ladder of Light', if you all don't want to get hurt, have the bank manager open the safety door, let everyone in..."
Just as the gray-haired security guard was about to speak, a few bullets hit the glass in front of Citibank...
The heavy, tempered glass immediately shattered, the bullets that penetrated the glass hit the bank's front desk, causing a suit-clad Indian manager to let out a scream...
As the blood trickled down, the old security guard, as if waking from a long dream, shouted and ran into the bank lobby...
"Go, go, open the safety door, let everyone retreat inside..."
