I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar - #428 - Chapter 420 Blue Army

“Once the things arrive, Qingshui River can basically be defended.”

“What you have to do next is very simple. Just put the rockets into the hands of those who can use them, deploy them to the front line, and then target the ships crossing the river with unrestricted bombing.”

“They can’t get too many ships in a short time. As long as they cause enough damage to them, they will retreat.”

“As for the individual anti-aircraft missiles, Li Bang, you are responsible for the distribution.”

“clear.”

In the command post that had changed its location three times, Chen Chen quickly made the next step of combat deployment.

It has to be said that after a large number of rockets were put in place, the Allied forces’ defensive pressure was indeed reduced a lot.

However, due to the sharp reduction in available troops, the balance of strength between the Kachin and the Allied forces has not actually changed much. It is of course irresponsible to talk about “certain victory” at this time.

Therefore, Chen Chen did not arrange the plan too radically, but pursued it steadily, intending to completely smash the Kachin Army’s plan to cross the river, block them north of the Qingshui River, and make their blitzkrieg tactics in vain.

Peng Deren had no objection to his arrangement.

Because he knew very well that, leaving aside whether his physical condition could support the next command, even if he could, with his ability, he would not be able to lead the team to victory in this defensive battle.

Only by handing people into Chen Chen’s hands can the Allied Forces have a chance of survival.

——

Of course, they can also choose to retreat altogether or even fall into the arms of the Kachin.

But Peng Deren cannot be willing to give in. After all, a greater future is already in front of him. If he has the opportunity to be a wolf that eats meat, who would be willing to continue to be a dog that eats shit?

After completing the transfer of all command rights, Peng Deren left the command room gracefully and simply returned to the marching tent to recuperate.

He didn’t have much communication with Chen Chen, but after he left, Li Bang came to Chen Chen and said with a frown:

“It’s still hard to fight.”

“This batch of equipment can be said to be a timely help, but we have too much snow now.”

“According to the current reconnaissance results, Kachin still has at least 3,000 troops along the Qingshui River line, and relying on the established logistics supply line, there will be a steady stream of troops and equipment sent over.”

“The Allied forces can no longer hold on. Huli has been lost. The next round of attack must be a decisive attack.”

“There is no way we can stop Kachin. This is an objective law and cannot be broken.”

“Maybe we can hold them off for three or five more days, but that doesn’t mean much.”

“Three days is enough.”

Chen Chen waved his hand and said to Li Bang:

“The victory or defeat of Qingshuihe does not depend on the victory or defeat of the war itself, but on the victory or defeat of ‘expectation’.”

“The reason why we insist on sticking to this point is to let other warlords in Pubei know that Kachin is not invincible even with the assistance of Laos and the United States.”

“We, the 7th Brigade, the 756th Brigade, and the Allied Forces alone cannot defeat Kachin.”

“We need the Wa State to join in, and we need all other forces to join in.”

“And other forces, including the Wa State, have a very obvious characteristic, that is, whoever wins, they help.”

“Is this the case in Wa State too?”

Li Bang asked with a frown.

“Of course, otherwise why do you think they would be so procrastinating?”

“Now, I don’t know what kind of quarrel Bao Xiaomei and Bao Youxiang have gotten. From a visual point of view, Bao Xiaomei is better than Bao Youxiang, but the Wa State’s family fortune was built by Bao Youxiang. He prefers to maintain his status. It is not difficult to understand. Right?”

“.I thought the Wa State was already our ally.”

“How is that possible? The Wa State does not belong to Bao Xiaomei, nor does it belong to Bao Youxiang alone. Next to him, there is Bao Youliang, and below Bao Youliang, there is Bao Junfeng, and Bao Junlong.”

“These political games and struggles are too complex, and we don’t need to think about them that much.”

“What we have to do is find a way to defend Qingshui River and win the next battle.”

“And to do that, we have to achieve three goals.”

“First, block the opponent’s path across the river. This can be achieved through rockets.”

“Second, reduce the deterrence of the opponent’s armor. This can be achieved by using a large number of anti-tank missiles, and these anti-tank missiles will arrive soon.”

“Only the third point is the most difficult. We must wipe out the opponent’s air power and completely kill their aircraft.”

“Can’t the Avant-garde missile do it?”

Li Bang asked again.

“It can’t be done.”

“Man-portable air defense missiles pose a great threat to helicopters, but they pose a very small threat to fixed-wing aircraft, especially modified high-speed propeller aircraft.”

“This is caused by the inherent characteristics of the missile. We have no way to make up for its shortcomings. The previous results can only be said to be excellent luck.”

“Now they have changed their style of play. They use low-altitude attack tactics very carefully. It is basically impossible for us to seize the opportunity again.”

“The only role of anti-aircraft missiles is probably to restrict their movements and prevent them from attacking so unscrupulously.”

“To destroy these planes, you either have to shoot them down in an air battle, or you have to blow them up on the ground.”

“You mean, sneak attack on the airport?”

“That’s right.”

Chen Chen nodded solemnly and then replied:

“This is the best tactic we can choose.”

“Infiltrate the rear, find the airport where they landed, and solve the problem once and for all.”

“But first we have to find it, and secondly, we have to be able to get in.”

Li Gang’s brows were furrowed. After all, he was no longer the recruit who just picked up a gun and followed Chen Chen into the battle to attack the bandit camp. After fighting one battle after another, his understanding of war and tactics His understanding had already reached a higher level, and it was precisely because of this that he understood how far-fetched the plan Chen Chen was talking about was.

Locating an airport behind enemy lines has never been a simple matter. Even in modern times, even with high-resolution satellites and advanced radars, it is extremely difficult to find an airport, let alone with our own current technology. Conditions, even tracking the aircraft’s heading is a big problem.

Looking for an airport? Where do you go to find it? Are you driving a car on the ground chasing an airplane?

In other words, get the information directly from the north?

This is a way, but even so, it is not easy to destroy the airport.

After all, the combat radius of P51 covers the entire Pubei area. If they set up the airport further north of Myitkyina and the Dongfeng Corps wants to attack it, they will really have to go deep behind enemy lines.

Looking at Li Bang’s expression, Chen Chen said:

“It’s not hard to find the airport.”

“Someone will give us an approximate location where the aircraft’s radar signal disappeared.”

“In fact, I’ve already secured this location, which is near Mogang.”

“The difficult thing is how to reach Mogan and how to destroy it with sufficient firepower.”

“Time is already very tight. We must complete the strike while all the planes are at the airport, and we must not leave any fish unnoticed.”

“I have already called the helicopter. We will fly to Mogang in 2 hours.”

“The Qingshui River will be left to you. When I come back, our counterattack will begin.”

“clear!”

Gang Li nodded solemnly, then turned and walked towards the command room that already belonged to him.

At the same time, in the Kachin command post, Valens had completely lost control of his emotions, but Kachin commander Kashaw, on the other hand, looked overjoyed.

Seeing Valens losing his temper in the command room, banging the table and swearing, he always maintained the calmness that a commander should have. It wasn’t until Valens finally calmed down that he finally said:

“Mr. Valens, I don’t think you need to be so angry.”

“We didn’t win the battle – of course, it’s not a big victory, but it can definitely be called a ‘victory with some twists and turns’.”

“We have captured the Huli position and established a river crossing point here. In the next round of attack, we can easily send our soldiers to the south bank of Qingshui River, and then launch an attack on the Allied forces from the flank.”

“In fact, this situation is already considered the final outcome.”

“There’s no way they can hold on anyway.”

“In two days, or at most three days, we can capture Qingshui River and completely open up the path for large forces to attack Shan and Wa states.”

“Even if we don’t rely on heavy equipment and aircraft, we can fight the next battle.”

“You know, our casualties are less than 400, while the other party’s casualties and attrition are said to have reached more than 3,000.”

“Now they only have a few hundred people left in their hands at most. To defeat them is just a matter of charging.”

“Mr. Valens, doesn’t this satisfy you?”

satisfy? !

After hearing Kashaw’s words, Valens’ anger that had just calmed down suddenly surged into his heart again. At this moment, he really had the urge to chop Kashaw alive.

You actually call this victory?

With equipment, numbers, and even air superiority, you failed to capture the opponent’s position in two consecutive attacks. Not only did you lose hundreds of people, you also lost several key pieces of equipment. This situation is unexpected. Can it also be called a victory? !

The opposite side was just the Allied Forces. At the beginning of the battle, they didn’t even have many heavy weapons!

After fighting like this with the Allied Forces, what kind of fight will you have if you later face the main force of the Allied Forces or the Wa State Army?

Valens had ten thousand words in his heart to express his greetings to Cashaw’s mother, but in the end, the thousands of words only condensed into one sentence:

“If the next attack fails to capture Qingshui River, we will ask for a replacement commander.”

Upon hearing his words, Cashaw shrugged in a very Western manner and replied:

“If the next attack cannot capture Qingshui River, then we may have to think carefully about whose problem it is.”

“What do you mean?”

Valens’ eyes instantly became sharp, while Cashaw waved his hand and said:

“I don’t mean anything, I just want to say that if the north intervenes, we will not be able to win the battle anyway.”

“You should at least be prepared for this.”

“Don’t worry, they can’t interfere.”

Valens threw away his hands and left, having scolded Kashaw countless times in his heart.

But after calming down again, he had to continue to deal with the more difficult matters at hand.

DEVGRU has returned, and they are now waiting at their residence.

From their mouths, Valens had learned of the heavy blows they had suffered in the jungle.

This is undoubtedly a tragedy – not only because of the attrition of SEAL Team 6, but more importantly, the close cooperation between the CIA and the military in Asia for the first time actually resulted in such a result.

After opening the door, all five fully armed SEALs in the living room stood up.

Valens looked at each other in confusion, and after a long time, he finally asked:

“what’s going on?”

After hearing his words, a man who looked like a captain said:

“The other party is not an ordinary mercenary group – it is even more professional than described in the intelligence we received before.”

“They eliminated the false target, went right on top of us, and took out one of our patrol members before we could see it.”

“After that, they directed artillery fire to attack the artillery reconnaissance position, and our artillery reconnaissance radar was destroyed.”

“We wanted to keep them all, and we almost did, actually.”

“But their counterattack was very determined and very swift.”

“Their perception is very keen, their shooting accuracy is very high, and their spirit of adventure is very strong. Although there are some flaws in coordination, they use firepower to smooth out those flaws.”

“All in all we suffered heavy losses.”

“We lost five brothers and their bodies were reduced to ashes in the fire.”

“.Understood.”

Valens nodded heavily and then continued to ask:

“Why is the fight like this? Logically speaking, with your equipment, you should have no opponents in the jungle.”

“That’s what we thought at first, but they were weird.”

The captain frowned tightly, and after thinking for a moment, he continued:

“We’ve examined their bodies. They were using the latest thermal fusion night vision devices, which are ours. There’s nothing surprising about that.”

“But the weird thing is… they know our tactics very well.”

“What I mean is that they discovered our intentions at the first opportunity and didn’t even give us a chance to adjust our tactics. Instead, they quickly created chaos and forced us to fight on the same level as them.”

“I suspect that some of them may have had close contact with us.”

“They know everything about us – it’s like they are our natural enemies.”

“I have to know where they come from, I have to know why they are able to do this.”

“Think of ways to find clues, and then”

“Maybe we don’t need any more clues.”

Valens shook his head and interrupted him, then said:

“If this is your question, then I think I can give you the answer now.”

“What’s the answer?”

the captain asked impatiently.

“It’s simple.”

“You are the Blues.”

“I guess that today’s battle, this battle that took place with a comprehensive disadvantage in equipment and intelligence, may have happened countless times on the training ground for them.”
