I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar - #434 - Chapter 426 Beheading
In this world, as long as it is defined as “guerrilla warfare”, the core must be the same.
The core of their tactics is basically unified, which is to maneuver quickly, transfer quickly, avoid direct confrontation, and inflict maximum battle damage under the premise of maximum safety.
Or to put it in more popular terms, it is to be able to play from the side but not from the front, from the back but not from the side, and to maximize Lao Liu’s talent.
Although the Dongfeng Corps team is all “new recruits”, the inheritance of guerrilla tactics is engraved in the team’s genes, so Chen Chen doesn’t even need to make too many arrangements, everyone has already figured out their position.
After hiding the two wounded men in a location that the enemy would never have thought of – that is, in a garbage pool in a residential area, the remaining nine people in the team quickly dispersed. Except for Yang Shu, who still took on reconnaissance duties and went to the commanding heights, all the others In groups of two, they each spread out deep into the residential area, each looking for a favorable combat position, preparing to launch a full-blown guerrilla war against the Kachin Army on the opposite side.
Their purpose was to delay time, not to break through or annihilate the enemy, so in the basic combat plan, Chen Chen also set clear boundaries and conveyed the three most basic principles to the team members.
Article 1: Dispersed operations do not mean that groups fight independently, but that they cover and connect with each other on a dispersed basis to achieve control of the widest area with the least manpower.
Article 2: When ammunition reserves are insufficient, avoid all unnecessary fighting and focus on hiding. The only purpose of starting a fight is to further hide.
Article 3: Never attack by force when the enemy has sufficient strength. Do not start a war blindly to hinder the reduction of the encirclement. As long as there is still room for movement, do not shoot.
It has to be said that these three principles can be said to be extremely conservative, even “cowardly” to the extreme.
But Chen Chen believed in the correctness of these three principles, because he knew that this thing was a serious summary of real battlefield experience!
At that time, a Maozi SSO team performed reconnaissance and targeted clearance missions on the front line of Aleppo, Syria. However, due to the Syrian army’s escape and the unfavorable cooperation of the Russian Aerospace Forces, all 16 members of this team were besieged in Aleppo. Inside the city.
In the following days, faced with attacks from various mortars, home-made cannons, rockets and even tanks by the JAN extreme armed forces, the SSO persisted for two days and two nights without effective air support. In the end, they were rescued by the Russian air assault brigade and evacuated from the battlefield without any casualties.
The enemy casualties they caused were less than thirty.
Thirty people were killed in two days and two nights. This number can be said to be pitiful.
But unlike the exaggerated results of “killing hundreds of enemies” and “annihilating 300 people” boasted by some marketing accounts, this is the real record of SSO.
It is this record that reflects their professionalism and strength.
Who doesn’t know how to fight in a head-on conflict?
Even if they don’t have the upper hand in terms of firepower, if they charge into each other with guns drawn, with the military quality of a special forces unit, they can still kill dozens of people anyway.
But after killing these people, can you still run away?
The real master is to perform tasks unswervingly, eliminate all unnecessary distractions, and compress one’s actions to the purest and most extreme level!
But this time, the Dongfeng Corps will learn SSO and become a master.
“I have occupied the top floor of a high-rise apartment. The evacuation route is clear and the view is good.”
“The enemy forces in the direction of the airport are approaching the residential area from the southwest, and some of the leading troops have assembled in the farmland outside the residential area.”
“Two Mogang urban public security police units are maneuvering along Mogang Highway and have deployed sentry posts at the intersection.”
“Another enemy force crossed the river from Kuntao Bridge and established a defensive line in the northeast.”
“They haven’t launched a large-scale search yet. My height is not high enough. Once they enter the residential area, it will be difficult for me to grasp their location.”
Yang Shu’s report came from the earphones. Chen Chen nodded slightly and replied:
“Understood, continue monitoring.”
At this time, relying on the information provided by Yang Shu, Chen Chen had already established a flat map of the Mogang residential area in his mind.
The entire residential area is bounded by Mogang Highway and Menggong River, and is laid out in an isosceles triangle. The apex of the triangle is in the northeast, and the base of the triangle is in the southwest direction facing the airport.
On the three sides of this triangle, the Kachin Army deployed three forces to blockade the area.
Among them, the Mogang Highway is in charge of the public security police force, the bottom side is in charge of the airport garrison, and the Menggong River is in charge of the urban garrison.
The total number of troops in the three directions exceeds 600, and in addition to the police force, most of the defenders also possess heavy weapons.
This was already a very unfavorable situation, but then Yang Shu brought even worse news.
The search has not officially begun, but a large number of civilians have gathered on the edge of the residential area.
They were not trying to leave a dangerous battlefield, but they were tipping off the Kachin military!
“We are completely exposed to surveillance.”
“There are close to 200 buildings of various types in this residential area, and the number of civilians exceeds 1,000.”
“If they plan to evacuate civilians, we still have an opportunity.”
“But if they turn all civilians into spies, our room for action will be too small.”
“Captain, what should I do?”
After Yang Shu finished speaking, Chen Chen couldn’t help but fall into silence.
Only then did he suddenly realize that there were some differences between the current Eastern Corps and the SSO at that time.
To the Kachin people, the Dongfeng Corps is not a heavenly soldier who saves the people from fire and water, but a full-fledged foreign invader!
They are bound to be hostile to the Dongfeng Corps, and this hostility will eventually turn into the Kachin Army’s advantage.
What’s the use of a scout like Yang Shu in the Dongfeng Corps?
There are probably thousands of them on the Kachin side
The planned plan of “delaying for two hours” may not work, because the enemy’s search speed will definitely be much faster than Chen Chen expected.
what to do?
Chen Chen subconsciously looked in the direction of the airport, and then a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind.
From the beginning of the war until now, he has always remembered one thing, that is, there are experts at the airport in Kachin.
This expert may be an officer born and raised in Kachin, or he may be a foreign aid, but in any case, it is impossible for him to come to the front line in person. His headquarters is most likely still at the airport.
But now, the airport’s defense is empty, and most of the defenders have been transferred out. If they can get through at this time,
The entire disadvantageous situation of the Dongfeng Corps will be completely reversed!
Chen Chen’s eyes lit up instantly, and then he said:
“The plan has changed and we need to break out.”
“Lin He, follow me. We need to swim across the river from the southeast corner, enter the jungle, continue south to bypass the Kachin Army, and then walk to the airport.”
“Others are creating chaos in the city to cover our actions!”
“The entire journey from this route to the airport is at least 5 kilometers.”
“We need to travel lightly and arrive within an hour.”
“Remember, no matter what, give us an hour. This is the key to whether we can survive!”
“clear!”
No one questioned Chen Chen’s extremely risky plan. After a brief task assignment, Chen Chen and Lin He set off immediately.
Their current location is in the southwest corner of the residential area, nearly 800 meters away from Chen Chen’s predicted swimming spot.
Chen Chen and Lin He took off their extra equipment and threw down the rifles in their hands. Each of them only carried an MP5-K used by helicopter crew members, and ran at high speed through the streets of residential areas.
It only took them less than 5 minutes to arrive near the swimming point. At this time, the defense line established by the airport defenders on the southwest side was less than 200 meters away from them.
This is the most dangerous moment. Chen Chen and Lin He must swim across the river under each other’s noses without letting them discover them!
If they want to be foolproof, they can only dive forward the whole way.
But the width of this Menggong River is close to 100 meters. Even an Olympic champion cannot swim to the other side in one breath without taking a breath!
However, Chen Chen had already been prepared. He and Lin He had put several stones in their pockets in advance. Together with the weight of the guns and magazines, it was enough for them to “naturally sink” in the water.
At the same time, he kicked off a slender water pipe outside a house, intending to use the water pipe as a breathing port to help them ventilate.
When everything was ready, Chen Chen issued an order to other team members waiting in the city.
A few seconds later, Yangshu, who was at the commanding heights, took the lead in attacking. With a violent gunshot, a .50 BMG large-caliber sniper round came out of the barrel and instantly hit the fuel tank of a pickup truck guarding the southwest airport. !
This bullet triggered a chain reaction, because Yangshu was loading a red-tipped armor-piercing incendiary bomb.
The flames instantly rose, followed by a violent explosion.
Yang Shu’s luck was so good that he didn’t need to fire a second shot.
After firing this shot, he immediately dragged the gun downwards and evacuated. Just a few seconds after he left, the firepower of the heavy machine gun had completely covered the rooftop of the small building, and everything on it was turned into powder.
At the same time, other cover team members also began to act.
The ammunition in their hands was not sufficient, but in previous conflicts, they had managed to capture a small number of enemy grenades.
The power of these grenades is not enough to cause enough damage, but the sound of the explosion is enough to attract the enemy’s attention.
Soon, after the Kachin Army completed the encirclement, the first round of small-scale conflicts began.
Taking advantage of the terrain, the cover team quickly knocked down several Kachin soldiers who were surrounded after the sneak attack, and quickly withdrew before their heavy machine gun fire arrived.
Their speed is extremely fast, and each time they are exposed to fire does not take more than five seconds, but within these five seconds, at least one or two enemies will fall.
The intensity of the conflict increased instantly, and the Kachin army began to advance into the city.
They didn’t care about the safety of the civilians in the city. They just fired machine gun fire at every suspicious street corner while constantly searching for traces of the cover team members.
In their view, the Dongfeng Corps trapped in the establishment is a mouse, and they are hundreds of cats watching eagerly.
No matter how difficult the process is, the mouse will always be eaten by the cat.
Time, time is of the essence.
At this moment, the airport defenders on the southwest side had already begun dispatching. Taking advantage of the other party’s attention being diverted, Chen Chen and Lin He successfully entered the river.
The speed of the undercurrent was far beyond Chen Chen’s imagination. With nothing to rely on, he was almost swept away by the current.
But fortunately, Lin He on the side had stabilized his figure. He stepped his legs into the soil on the river bank and pulled Chen Chen, who was already leaning a little.
“Sink sideways, don’t raise your arms randomly.”
Lin He warned in a low voice, and then the two of them quickly walked forward to the deep water area and plunged into the water at one go.
At this time, they were more than 10 meters away from the river bank. Without the cover of aquatic plants and vegetation, every move on the water would be exposed to the Kachin army’s vision.
The turbid river water has completely made Chen Chen lose his direction. All he can do is to pull the rope connecting the two people and swim forward in the direction of Lin He.
Only then did he realize how crude his idea was. It was indeed feasible to breathe through a water pipe. However, in the water, a water pipe with a length of more than one meter was greatly impacted. It was not easy to just stand it up, let alone You also have to accurately lift it out of the water, and find opportunities to breathe during a series of actions such as treading water, paddling, floating, etc.!
Chen Chen took 6 breaths, 3 of which were after taking a swig of river water mixed with sediment before inhaling air.
His physical strength was almost pushed to the limit in this short 100 meters. The dizziness and pain caused by insufficient oxygen supply and water in the lungs made his limbs weak. It was like a huge stone was pressed on his chest. After 7 breaths, my hands and feet were already numb.
But fortunately, his feet had already stepped on the mud underground.
Immediately afterwards, Lin He pulled the rope, indicating that he could get out of the water.
Chen Chen stood up slowly. After his nose came out of the water, he took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.
Arrived on the other side.
At this time, their position was nearly 200 meters downstream of the launching point, and they were behind the airport defenders besieging Mogang.
His face was completely pale, and Lin He beside him was nowhere to be found.
Chen Chen glanced at his watch with some trembling, and then said:
“Four minutes, not bad.”
“We have 45 minutes left, keep going.”
“Covering team, we have arrived. We can stop the confrontation and continue hiding.”
After a while, Yang Shu’s answer came over the radio.
“Understood, stop confrontation and continue to hide.”
Chen Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and finished organizing all the equipment in front of him. Then he gave Lin He a look. Without any hesitation, the two of them climbed up the river bank one after another and ran towards the jungle. go
