Rise of the Argentine Empire

"Boss, don't be too sad. Death is something everyone must experience; it's just that he experienced it a little earlier. Believe he can go to heaven," Guerrero consoled.

"Remember to issue the compensation in place, give him a good burial, and after this matter is over, appease his family. Avenge them tomorrow morning."

Saint Hesser made a few signs of the cross on his chest, praying for them. Most members of the Lightning Cross are religious.

Normally, revenge shouldn't wait overnight, but for safety, he still planned to take revenge the next night.

"Boss, I just received intelligence and need to report a message. The Free Dusk and the Soul of the Wheel are likely to have joined forces. Should we temporarily cancel the attack on the Soul of the Wheel organization?"

Guerrero actually planned to take it slow. Attacking two at once would be a bit strenuous, and the coordination wasn't particularly in place yet.

"What? Those two tumor organizations have joined forces?"

Saint Hesser was a little stunned, but then he felt this was a good opportunity, a double-kill opportunity.

The Soul of the Wheel has only developed to just over two hundred people now, including some small gangsters with low combat power.

Even the fully armed guards of the Soul of the Wheel leader are only twenty or so people.

If the Viper team hadn't been too small at the time, they would have attacked directly. Considering that they had just arrived here at the time,

In the past four or five months, the development speed of the Soul of the Wheel has been far inferior to that of the Lightning Cross, and their equipment is very general, and they rarely train.

The Free Dusk now has more than three hundred people, and they are more ferocious, with better weapons and equipment. They occupy a larger salt mine and even mine other minerals, such as iron ore, which they export for huge profits.

"No need for so much trouble," Saint Hesser said in a low voice.

"This time, we'll solve them together."

Saint Hesser's Viper Team is trained and managed according to quasi-military organization standards. Although they can only get some simple light weapons, their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of two small warlord gangs.

"Hold a combat meeting at six o'clock this afternoon. First, destroy the Soul of the Wheel, then destroy the Free Dusk."

"Now arrange for all personnel, including the outer members, to begin preparations for the operation."

Although the Lightning Cross is well-trained, most of them are novices, so they must be well prepared.

"Yes, Captain."

Saint Hesser made his final plans. This time, he would fight a real battle and remove these two nails from his doorstep.

… …

Six o'clock in the afternoon, in the combat conference room,

Saint Hesser sat quietly in the top position, looking around.

Not many people attended the combat meeting this time; they were all Saint Hesser's core members.

Excluding Saint Hesser, there were only 16 people. The conference room was large and had a whiteboard for explaining various data, maps, and combat plans.

Guerrero sat on the left, Aragon on the right, and the remaining 14 people formed a U-shape around them, with Saint Hesser at the vertex of the U.

Saint Hesser looked over, and everyone's expressions and movements were clear. Some people were excited, some were calm and composed, and some had anger on their faces.

Saint Hesser felt a sense of regret in his heart about the difficulty of finding talent. It had taken so long to find so few people, not even enough for one battle.

Except for the head of the logistics warehouse department, everyone else was a squad leader. Now the Viper First Team, officially named the Viper First Battalion,

also includes the two squads of the Viper Second Battalion brought from Maria Town. There are 10 captains here, commanding a total of 500 core combat troops, of which 400 belong to Aragon's Viper First Battalion.

Two people are specifically responsible for the outer members department, which includes 284 outer members selected from the villages, with average combat power and training intensity.

This operation is responsible for some follow-up military clean-up work and daily army affairs management. This time, they will be responsible for cleaning the battlefield and guarding the prisoners.

One of the deceased members was one of the outer members, and there were still 4 members on the motorcycle gang's side, waiting for everyone to rescue them.

In the past six months, the Lightning Cross, or rather, the Viper First Squad of the Falcon Group, has expanded into the Viper Battalion, and the number of people has increased from more than fifty to more than four hundred, which is indeed quite a difficult development.

Investing money, constantly investing money, plus having trusted Guerrero and Aragon in charge, has also made it the largest armed force in the southeastern part of the Potassium Triangle.

This time, a squad from Oran City and two squads from Maria Town were also gathered together, precisely to wipe out the Soul of the Wheel, and the Free Dusk, it seems, will not be able to keep it.

"We must remove obstacles to the development of Lightning Mining. The Soul of the Wheel is bullying people too much. We will kill them all tonight."

Saint Hesser began the pre-war mobilization. This time, they are facing a group of fierce bandits, and even with Saint Hesser's equipment, it will be a bit difficult to take them down.

"Please everyone take it seriously. Our goal is to eliminate these two gangs of bandits before dawn tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, we will prepare mate tea and barbecue to celebrate."

"Everyone doesn't need to worry about the use of weapons. This time I brought 150,000 rounds of ammunition, 300 rounds per person. If they try to resist, then I'm sorry."

"Everyone doesn't need to be too nervous. I also brought steel helmets, berets, bulletproof vests, and 100 grenades, 1 mortar, 100 flashbangs, 100 tear gas grenades. I hope everyone doesn't need to use them, and silencers for all guns."

Saint Hesser took out all the old goods he had smuggled from the United States. After this consumption, except for pistols, there are not many other bullets that can be replenished. He will see if he can find replacements or organize his own bullet production line. The production of bullets is still not easy.

After all, without ammunition, these guns are almost like scrap iron.

"The first operational goal is to wipe out all the high-level members of the Soul of the Wheel. As for the other minions, capture as many as possible. At a minimum, accept their surrender and make them lose their combat power. As for how to lose it, I believe everyone understands,

arrangements will be made in due course."

"Actually, I would prefer to have a 107mm howitzer, but unfortunately, we don't have one. As for the person in charge of the mortar, use it to attack the fortifications as soon as possible. I have been looking forward to the Soul of the Wheel's boss's fortress for a long time," Guerrero added from the side.

The boss of the Soul of the Wheel has the power to distribute 80% of the profits and is also afraid of death. The mortar is specifically used to hit the doors and windows, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

He prefers to use a howitzer to attack the fortifications, but unfortunately, it has not yet been produced. The Rein Arms Factory is still designing it according to the data provided by Saint Hesser,

and the mortar is just an addition.

"The attack is scheduled for 5 AM tomorrow, simultaneously targeting both evil organizations. The operation will last for two hours. Markum, tonight you are in charge of distributing the special beverage for use before the operation."

The problem with dawn operations is the drowsiness. Saint Herse had prepared for this, procuring a batch of enhanced coffee, with some 'good stuff' added. This time, to reduce casualties, thorough preparations were essential.

This functional beverage additive, a special stimulant, was developed in cooperation with the Keda Food Additives Laboratory.

Paired with an ultra-concentrated version of bitter coffee, it's guaranteed to boost spirits more than Red Bull.

This was one of Saint Herse's secret weapons.

Markum was the person in charge of logistics and also responsible for managing and distributing supplies.

As the orders were issued one by one, they began to optimize the assault plan, including demolitions, mortar shell direction, angle, corrections, meticulously arranging every detail.

Most of the squad leaders had only undergone drills. Even during the Brotherhood's annihilation, only Guerrero and Aragon were in charge of personnel. These people were slowly promoted after the establishment of the Thunder Cross Viper First Squad.

…

At 3:30 AM, trucks departed from the valley, heading to two designated locations, then proceeding on foot to complete the combat mission.

At 4:50 AM, after drinking the special coffee provided by Saint Herse, they began pre-battle preparations. The sentries of the Wheel of Souls were basically useless, hiding and sleeping, without giving any warning.

Aragon was in charge of encircling and suppressing the Soul of Freedom, with 180 combat personnel, 90 peripheral members responsible for mopping up, and village pacification personnel to handle the follow-up work.

At 5 AM, as dawn broke, most of the Wheel of Souls people were still in their dreams, only to be captured in a daze.

The outer perimeter's guard dogs were surprisingly effective, but most were taken out with powerful tranquilizer darts before they could bark, making it unexpectedly smooth.

The occasional dog bark was faint and ignored.

The Thunder Cross's advance was rapid, and most areas were quickly dealt with. They didn't even need to break down doors; some broke in through the windows.

The peripheral members in the rear couldn't keep up with the speed of capturing prisoners, so they immediately used pre-prepared police handcuffs to lock them up in their homes.

Special mouth-sealing towels and transparent plastic tape were used to prevent them from making noise.

The intelligence obtained by Guerrero played a huge role, and the pinpoint elimination was very efficient. Occasionally, those who resisted were mostly deterred and surrendered obediently.

Most of the Wheel of Souls members lived in ordinary dwellings. After the outer perimeter was cleared, only the Wheel of Souls leader's bunker remained.

"Get into cover and prevent them from sniping."

"The artillerymen will fire three warning shots first, and then arrange for people to shout warnings. Be careful."

After glancing at the surrounding environment,

Aragon hesitated for a moment, but still issued the order, knowing they couldn't delay any longer and had to launch a strong attack.

"Yes, sir! We will follow your orders," the artillery commander said seriously.

He had initially tried to sneak attack, but failed, and now he could only launch a strong attack, with 60mm mortars firing at weak points in the fortress.

Covering the firing points where snipers might be.

Most of them just blasted out a large crater.

One kilometer away, Saint Herse was watching the motorcycle gang's situation from a high place with binoculars. The sound of artillery fire also calmed the newly captured people, who felt great sympathy for the gang leader living in the bunker. Most importantly, their own lives were more important, and most of them were honest and didn't resist anymore.

"The Thunder Mining people actually have artillery. I can't understand it. Are they crazy? Who uses artillery in a fight? This Micelo is a bad seed. He's not at all what he seemed to be a few months ago. He's going to hell."

"If you insult our team leader again, I'll chop you up and feed you to the pigs," the escorting guard said coldly.

"Big brother, I won't dare anymore. I was just complaining. Micelo, such a big tycoon, will definitely go to heaven. I swear in the name of the Virgin Mary that I will be your good propaganda officer and help you disintegrate the Wheel of Souls."

One of the prisoners was very interesting, immediately saying good things to persuade the small fry of the Wheel of Souls to be more honest.

The Wheel of Souls prisoners initially felt a little embarrassed, but later, seeing the strong and powerful members of the Thunder Cross, wearing camouflage uniforms, berets, and grenades, looking like elite soldiers, with blue and black camouflage painted on their faces, making it impossible to tell who they were, and looking as terrifying as demons before dawn, they quickly gave up.

They soon realized from the logistics personnel that these were the people from Thunder Mining.

Their people were shamelessly ambushing. The young people didn't have any ethics. This Micelo was really no good. They had long disliked this guy.

The Wheel of Souls were quite familiar with Guerrero, who was their gang's "big tycoon." He went by the name Micelo when dealing with them, and he was very generous, making him popular with the Wheel of Souls, with a nickname called "Generous Tycoon Micelo," and he obtained a lot of internal information.

At 5:44 AM, the Wheel of Souls' fortress was breached, and the Wheel of Souls battlefield was a ruin.

The Wheel of Souls gang leader, Odyssey, was finally dragged out of the bunker's basement, waving a white pair of underwear as a flag, and the outer members were successfully rescued.

"Boss, the Wheel of Souls has been wiped out. A few small fry escaped, but most of the people have been escorted to the logistics department to do the mop-up work, inventory of supplies, and control of the village," Aragon reported seriously after a while.

"Forget about the small fry. Immediately assemble urgently. I want to go to Guerrero's side and see what's happening.

Take 100 of the remaining combat personnel here. I suddenly feel a little uneasy about Guerrero's side. Others are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield," Saint Herse said to Aragon.

Saint Herse's heart tightened just now, and he had a sudden impulse, feeling that something was wrong, and he felt a little uneasy.

He sensed that something might happen on Guerrero's side, hoping it wasn't a false alarm.

"The troops are urgently assembled. Load up the mortars. We need to hurry to Twilight of Freedom, hoping that Team Leader Guerrero is okay."

The Wheel of Souls operation had been a complete success. In less than 10 minutes, the combat personnel had assembled.

Saint Herse and Aragon led two teams to the Twilight of Freedom's combat location, still transported by trucks.

The overall person in charge of attacking the Twilight of Freedom was Guerrero. Guerrero's combat skills were quite reliable, and most of these people came from his training, making command easier.

When the convoy was halfway there, a distress flare from Guerrero's side shot into the sky.

"Something really happened. Go and see what's going on. Driver, speed up a bit. I'll give you extra money for this successful operation," Aragon instructed.

"Okay, boss." The driver also didn't care about his life, stepping on the gas pedal, and the speed suddenly increased.
