I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar - #442 - Chapter 434 Chaos
For Chen Chen, in a sense, the war in Pubei can be declared over.
After the emergence of Global Hawk, the nature of this “war” has undergone fundamental changes, from a battle between Pubei warlords to a struggle between two major forces.
Obviously, at the door of his own home, with a way out and room to retreat, the rabbit in the north wouldn’t have too many worries.
Their equipment support will inevitably be upgraded to a higher level, and what will follow is a rather determined “attitude expression” seen by many forces.
In the combat command room, after Chen Chen announced that the Dongfeng Corps was about to receive eight Type 89 anti-tank guns, all the participants were stunned.
Among them, the one who showed the most excitement was He Bangxiong. The look he looked at Bao Xiaomei could no longer be said to be showing off, but was even directly provocative.
“Look, look!”
“What did I say? I said we could fight this battle, and I said we would go all out!”
“You Bao family are always worried that this is not enough and that is not enough, and you always say that you may not be able to win!”
“I’ve gone through all the trouble to get a helicopter from you guys, what should I say now?”
“Even if your helicopter doesn’t come back, eight tanks can’t stop you?”
“I think you are.”
“Okay, Lao He, just say a few words.”
Chen Chen saw the embarrassment on Bao Xiaomei’s face, so he simply interrupted He Bangxiong’s words.
In fact, he already knew the hidden secrets about the “helicopter rescue” from Xiaoyu.
However, he did not take the opportunity to accuse, suppress the Wa State, or suppress the Bao family, because he knew that under the circumstances at that time, what the Bao family made was the truly rational choice.
The Dongfeng Corps and the Wa State have never been an alliance in the first place. The so-called alliance is just Bao Xiaomei’s wishful thinking driven by some special emotions.
And even this kind of wishful thinking is actually quite limited.
To be more precise, it is a pure win-win relationship between the two parties.
They were finally willing to take out two helicopters, which already showed their attitude.
Even if there is a need to settle accounts after the fall, it will have to wait until the war is over.
At that time, can the Wa State still have the final say on how and how much to divide?
It is actually very clear who will be the big brother and who will be the little brother.
Looking at Chen Chen’s expression, He Bangxiong shut his mouth knowingly, while Bao Xiaomei on the side opened her mouth several times and finally said:
“I can explain about the helicopter. The situation at that time was quite complicated, and we also”
“No need to explain too much.”
Chen Chen interrupted again, and then said:
“The first phase of the combat mission has been completed. Next, it is time for us to pursue the victory.”
“I don’t have many other demands, but next, the Wa State must attack with all its strength.”
“From Qingshui River to Myitkyina, we not only want to fight there, but also annihilate most of the effective forces in Kachin.”
“In other words, we must give full play to the advantage of the mobility of our troops, attack in all directions, and suppress the enemy with intensive and heavy firepower.”
“Miss Bao, I think you should know how to do it.”
“It’s understandable to have concerns in the early stage, but if Bao Junfeng goes with the trend and beats the dog in the water, then the Wa State will have to change its surname.”
There was a serious threat in Chen Chen’s words. Logically speaking, as soon as such words were spoken, Bao Xiaomei, as the representative of the interests of the Wa State, would not look good anyway.
But the reality is that Bao Xiaomei not only showed no reaction, but even solemnly wrote down Chen Chen’s words in the notebook he carried with him.
“Understood, Mr. Chen.”
“I will convey your plan to Bao Junfeng and my father with 100% accuracy.”
“In the future, the Wa State will definitely do its best to fight under the leadership of the Dongfeng Corps. If you have any questions, you can communicate with me at any time. I absolutely support any decision made by the leadership team of the Dongfeng Corps!”
Bao Xiaomei’s words were so official that Chen Chen even had the illusion that he was not holding a pre-war briefing, but a Group X working meeting.
Obviously, Bao Xiaomei has completely understood her position.
From this moment on, she was no longer an agent of the Bao family, but became an agent of the Dongfeng Corps.
This transformation has gone through a long process. At the beginning, the status of both parties was completely different from now.
Chen Chen was just a precarious mercenary, while Bao Xiaomei was the daughter of one of the overlords. At that time, no matter how dissatisfied he was with the Bao family, Chen Chen could only hold his nose and cooperate with him.
However, as the Dongfeng Corps became stronger and bigger, the relationship between the two forces also underwent subtle changes.
From utilization, to wooing, to cooperation, to Bao Xiaomei’s surrender, all of this developed very quickly, but it was extremely reasonable.
And the moment Ba Ye appeared, the behemoth of the Wa State finally fell at the feet of the Dongfeng Corps.
——
In fact, no one in Southeast Asia can withstand the pressure of Master Ba.
Yes, it may not be as advanced as the Su-27, and it is even less likely to kill the F-22 with eight battle losses for one. But the problem is that what it represents is an extremely clear attitude, which was previously Unwavering support that never came.
If the warlords in Pubei still have doubts about the Dongfeng Corps at this time, they are really desperate.
Therefore, Chen Chen’s attitude towards Bao Xiaomei did not show any surprise.
He has no plans to meet with Bao Junfeng and Bao Youxiang in person. In the subsequent actions, as long as the Wa State shows any “non-cooperation”, the fate of Kachin will be the fate of the Wa State!
Chen Chen nodded lightly towards Bao Xiaomei, and then, without wasting time, he immediately began to lay out the follow-up battle plan.
At this time, the strength of the Dongfeng Corps, the coalition forces, and the Wa State had reached an unprecedented peak.
16 tanks of various types, more than 10 armored vehicles with different functions, 4 military-modified aircraft, two helicopters, a large number of individual anti-armor weapons, a large number of rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers, and an unknown number of Many, but absolutely sufficient light and heavy artillery pieces
How else can we say that Southeast Asia is a house of monsters?
With the Dongfeng Corps having these gadgets, as long as they work properly and put them in Africa and the Middle East, they might be able to conquer the land and become the king!
But their purpose was just to deal with a Kachin.
Of course, sufficient firepower is the prerequisite for being able to fight. How to fight depends on people.
Therefore, Chen Chen still carried out quite detailed strategic deployment and planned and allocated all military forces.
Like the tactics used by the Kachin Army in the jungle, Chen Chen also did not intend to use any fancy strategies.
His main focus is to advance step by step and layer by layer.
If Xiaoyu said it quickly, the Dongfeng Corps would naturally execute it.
But there are also different playing styles between fast and slow.
Just like CQB, when the quality of personnel is uneven, stable means fast!
Two hours later, all the combat plans were basically deployed, and Chen Chen left the combat command room. Already waiting for him outside the door was a person who should be taken for granted.
Jackal.
This time, due to the involvement of the Thai military, Jackal had to take the initiative to avoid suspicion.
But at the moment when the real big changes in Pubei are about to happen, he cannot be absent no matter what.
He wanted to get on a boat with Chen Chen – or in fact, he was one of the first people to get on Chen Chen’s boat. But now, as the situation further changed, he felt unsure.
The two looked at each other in silence, and then Chen Chen waved to him and said:
“Come to my office and chat.”
Jackal followed Chen Chen “obediently” without saying a single joke.
Seeing his serious and even respectful expression, Chen Chen felt as if the textbook had come into reality.
It’s not like Jackal will call himself “Master” soon, right?
——
However, what he didn’t expect was that Jackal actually said what he was thinking as if he had a tact.
“Wreck, if this continues, I’m afraid I’ll have to call you ‘Master’.”
Hearing his words, Chen Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He shook his head and said:
“Do what you have to do and don’t say you don’t have it.”
“Things in Thailand have basically been settled. Not only do you need to make a choice, your bosses must also take a stand.”
“This is an either/or choice. If you don’t choose us, then you have to…”
“I see.”
Jackal interrupted Chen Chen and continued:
“If we don’t show up at the table when the party starts, then we’re just going to be on the menu.”
“I have completed communication with my superiors and they will fully support you.”
“We will provide necessary logistical supplies and equipment supplements to the Dongfeng Corps. All Chaisili’s forces in Pubei will cooperate with the Dongfeng Corps.”
“On a hire basis, of course.”
“That’s no problem.”
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction and continued:
“We’re still friends – so where did you learn the term ‘master’?”
“I want to learn your culture – I have gone from watching TV series to reading literature.”
“.Don’t you watch American TV series?”
Chen Chen asked slightly teasingly.
“DEVGRU has been suppressed by you, who is still watching American TV series?”
Jackal looked matter-of-fact, and Chen Chen said no more.
At this point, all preparations for a full-scale attack have been completed.
After eliminating all interference and recruiting all possible allies, Kachin was completely isolated and helpless.
Maybe there are Americans behind them, but Chen Chen believes that if they cannot go out with all their strength, Kachin may not be able to withstand the first wave of all-out attack by the coalition forces.
But what Chen Chen didn’t know was that while they were preparing vigorously for a decisive battle against the Kachin Army, their enemies had already fallen into chaos.
Mandalay, Tiela Air Base.
In a spacious office, two middle-aged men sat opposite each other.
On one side of the sofa is a white man with white hair, and on the other side is a character who appears in Bagan news all year round and has supreme influence in the military community.
Soe Win.
Looking at the serious expressions of the white people across from him, Soe Win said:
“We fully understand your demands.”
“However, the Kachin problem is not a simple one, and the problem of armed forces in many civilian areas in Pubei is even less likely to be solved by rough means.”
“Although there are indeed conflicts between us, we also have feelings of compatriots.”
“Now, there is a conflict between brothers. As the eldest brothers, the first thing we should do is of course mediate and communicate, rather than taking the opportunity to fight.”
“So, I think we should not talk about the suggestion of ‘directly sending troops to northern Shan State to assist Kachin’.”
“After all, this is our internal affairs. Your presence here is already quite unruly. If you make more unruly requests, I’m afraid the friendship between us will not be able to do anything about it.”
“But Kachin’s defeat is already doomed!”
The white man interrupted Soe Win and continued:
“All the air power we provided has been exhausted. At least within a month, the Northern Shan Federation Army will be able to control the air absolutely.”
“And according to the information we have, they still have a large number of armored units in their hands.”
“Now, the Kachin vanguard troops are blocked in the Qingshui River area. Support from the Wa State has arrived, and they cannot advance even half a step across the Qingshui River.”
“If this delay continues, all offensives in Kachin will be dismantled, as we have negotiated before.”
“What did we discuss before? Don’t slander me!”
Soe Win interrupted the man sharply and then said:
“We have never had any transactions. I think you understand this, right?”
“.We could have.”
The white man swallowed the curse that rushed to his lips and continued:
“There’s not much you need to do. Send out the air force, shoot down the opponent’s few aircraft, and if you have the chance, kill their armored forces.”
“We can solve other things ourselves!”
“Although Northern Shan State has the advantage in terms of strength, all we need is a little time.”
“Give us some time. After the Northern Shan State is defeated, the entire Pubei will be yours!”
“This is a great achievement that no one else can even imagine, isn’t it?”
“If Kachin is captured, the entire Pubei will be ours too.”
Soe Win coldly interrupted the white man again. The white man raised his head in astonishment, as if he did not understand what the other person was saying.
A look of regret finally appeared on Soe Win’s face, but it quickly disappeared.
“I said, Pubei belongs to us no matter what.”
“It just exists in another form.”
“Compared to the prospect you painted, I think that prospect is more attractive.”
“.It seems you have made your choice.”
The white man sighed deeply and then stood up.
He no longer planned to fight for it, but at this moment, Soe Win behind him suddenly spoke again:
“We didn’t make the choice, the war made the choice for us.”
“Besides, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave for the time being.”
“Before the matter is completely settled, I still hope you can stay with me and have a good rest for a few days.”
The white man was stunned. He subconsciously looked towards the door, and then he discovered that the spacious door had been completely blocked by guards with guns.
On the other side, near Jesa, is the Northern Command of the Bagan Defense Forces.
The 21 infantry battalions that had been squeezed out of their survival space by the Kachin Army suddenly came to life. Teams began to assemble one after another, and batches of equipment were delivered.
Their guns have been pointed north, and this time, their goal is extremely clear.
Myitkyina!
