Chapter 489: Break Through

Gao Yang and his team had three M29 mortars, and they had top-notch gunners, which was a major advantage for them.

The Jaguar Corps air-dropped in from the North were ready to launch their mortars; after firing, they inflicted considerable casualties on the team conducting the air-drop. However, the Jaguars spread out during their descent and quickly dispersed upon landing, rather than foolishly clustering together and waiting to be bombarded.

The Jaguar Corps rapidly formed a skirmish line over a kilometer in length and immediately went on the defensive.

After firing six mortar rounds, the mortars stopped firing. The Jaguar's line was so widely spread that even if a mortar round hit its mark, at most it could only injure one person. This level of fire was too cost-ineffective, and continuing the bombardment would have been a waste of shells.

The Jaguars had established their positions in the north, taking the first step to encircle Gao Yang and his team.
