I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar - #486 - Chapter 478 Determination on the battlefield

Wade felt like he was going crazy.

This is obviously a very simple task. They just need to infiltrate into the city under the cover of the Free Army’s massive attack, squat near the medical facility, find a way to kill the enemy who has caused huge losses to themselves, and then concentrate in the air They just retreated under the cover of firepower and strong ground offensive.

They don’t even need to retreat.

Because according to the plan, Tal Rifat should be captured by the Free Army within two days.

Yes, they do want to go deep behind enemy lines and into war zones, but they have conducted this type of mission too many times.

If paratroopers are born to be surrounded, then their team simply lives in an encirclement.

Airborne rescue, airborne decapitation, battlefield reconnaissance, close air fire guidance

No matter what kind of mission, you are walking on the edge of death.

But never before had he felt as helpless as he did now.

All his actions were guessed by the enemy, so much so that he had the illusion that there was a ghost in the team.

Staying at the hospital, failed.

The enemy directly called for an airdrop from a third-party neutral organization and jumped out of its own ambush circle to obtain medical supplies.

Aerial strike decapitation, failed.

The opposing commander hid his whereabouts and even organized a counterattack.

Break away quickly, fail.

Inexplicably, the other party found its own hiding spot and launched an attack on the normal residential house without firing a single shot.

This sounds like a ridiculous legend. How did they find themselves without any advanced observation equipment and without any intelligence support?

There is no doubt that this is the winner of this battle.

If our side is not discovered, then even if the air strike fails, we can continue to lurk, and we will never need to rely on air fire support to evacuate after losing several people.

——

Regardless of all the previous failures, under the repeated bombings of F-16s, A-10s, and T-129s, and the fierce and oppressive attacks of the Free Army, I should have been able to successfully withdraw from the battlefield, right?

But no.

The Syrian military, especially the Syrian Air Force, showed unprecedented efficiency. Despite their own air superiority, they actually took the risk of sending MiG-29s to target the T-129s that were not blocked by ground anti-aircraft fire.

If calculated from the perspective of time, their MiG-29s had already taken off after the first round of air strikes began.

Who is formulating strategies for them, and who has the “authority” to issue orders?

It was obviously a situation of great disadvantage, but the opponent relied on the strategy of “predicting the enemy’s opportunity” to turn the disadvantage into a balance of power!

And now, the only two people left in his team were intercepted by the team that was about to be eliminated by his own team, and the hope of breaking out was completely eliminated!

Thinking of this, Wade wanted to rush out and grab the man by the collar and question him.

He wanted to know how the other party did it.

Before that, when I heard that he could actually launch an attack in Istanbul, one of the largest cities in Turkey, and finally kill Andrea, the CIA’s top leader in the Middle East, I was still skeptical. I thought it was the CIA again. An excuse for making some stupid mistake.

But now, after actually fighting him, he realized that his enemy might not be that simple.

However, it is too late to realize this now.

The opponent has begun to advance in their own direction. Although there are only four people, their professionalism is definitely not inferior to any T1 level special forces.

Cover, advance, suppress.

Every movement is extremely smooth, even flowing.

If you can hold on for at most two minutes, your own bunker will be exposed to the opponent’s crossfire, and then strangled by a round of concentrated fire!

And I couldn’t even fight back!

“We need support!”

Wade shouted into the radio:

“We’re stuck! Air support is needed!”

“There is no support available and we need to wait.”

The team leader’s calm answer came from the headphones, and this answer immediately caused Wade, who was already highly nervous, to collapse.

“What does it mean to have no support?! What does it mean to have no support!?”

“We’re going to die here!”

“They’re already here!”

“Government troops are maneuvering towards our position and we can’t get out!”

“I know.”

The leader’s voice seemed a little unclear.

“We will attack from the perimeter and draw firepower for you.”

“Ten minutes, wait another 10 minutes.”

“You’re kidding me! I can’t even wait two minutes!”

“Why is there no plane? Where is our plane!? I.”

“boom!”

A bullet penetrated the already fragile concrete wall and hit the ballistic plate on Wade’s chest.

His body suddenly fell backwards and fell to the ground, and he couldn’t help but cry out in pain from the severe pain.

“SHIT! I’ve been shot!”

“They have armor-piercing rounds! I need backup!”

The expression on Wade’s face had changed from nervousness to panic. He had never had a premonition of his own death so clearly as now.

Everything he relied on disappeared, and a short-term “vacuum zone” began to appear, and while the vacuum lasted, he would definitely die of suffocation.

“Hobbes, lay mines!”

Wade ordered loudly, but what he answered was the explosion of several grenades in a row!

“Hobbes! Hobbes!”

Wade yelled in fear, but the radio was no longer filled with the voice of his only remaining companion.

It’s over.

Wade closed his eyes in despair, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the familiar sound of gunshots not far from him.

Support finally arrived.

“The fish is hooked.”

Chen Chen calmly fired with his AK-74U, and the 24 STS members who were outflanking finally appeared for the first time. This member who had been tracking the Dongfeng Corps for several days and contained the Dongfeng Corps in the city of Tallifaat with only “invisible pressure” could not The opponent who moved was finally involved in a battle with live ammunition for the first time.

Bullets from the light machine guns rained down on the bunker where Chen Chen was located. Unlike the local armed forces in Pubei and the brainless terrorists in Indonesia, the firepower of this team was dense and deadly.

Chen Chen realized very clearly that when he was at a numerical disadvantage and the opponent had already established OODA, he would be dead if he just poked his head in.

Therefore, he was not eager to fight back at all, but took his time to hide behind numerous bunkers, and calmly began to issue orders to all parties.

“Everyone remains in contact, but do not attempt to engage each other.”

“Raise the gun above your head and shoot at random to suppress it. It doesn’t matter if you miss.”

“The drone continues to monitor and find ways to confirm the other party’s location.”

“The drone has failed and the other party has electronic interference.”

Chen Chen’s order was interrupted, but he only paused for a moment before continuing:

“Maintain burst communications, hide radio electromagnetic signatures, and don’t give the other party a chance to conduct spectrum detection!”

“clear.”

In fact, electromagnetic interference is a very difficult job, especially the interference and suppression of low-power radio communications, which is not as simple as most people think.

Previously in Indonesia, the Dongfeng Corps did suffer a radio suppression from MPRI, which caused them to lose all communication capabilities and were passively beaten throughout the process.

But the prerequisite for being able to do that is that the local electromagnetic environment is relatively simple. MPRI picked up the radio spectrum signals of the Dongfeng Corps in advance and injected noise in a targeted manner, blocking the communications of the Dongfeng Corps.

Now, in Tal Rifaat, the communication signals between the two warring parties are too complex. Even if the United States has electromagnetic interference equipment flying in the air, it is difficult to identify the Dongfeng Corps’ sudden communications from a large number of complex signals. Using signals sent by frequency hopping communication means, it is even more difficult to carry out directional interference.

As for the reason why drones can be easily interfered with, in order to ensure signal stability, their drones use radio communication methods with obvious electromagnetic characteristics, and cannot implement burst communication strategies. As long as they are detected, they will There was no chance of escape.

Therefore, Chen Chen does not need to worry too much about communication interruption. What he is more worried about is whether Suhaier can mobilize the government forces in time to complete the encirclement of 24 STS.

“What are the movements of government troops?”

Chen Chen continued to ask.

A moment later, a reply from the Li Gang came over the radio.

“Mobilizations are taking place, but their specific strategies are unclear.”

“The Suhail troops have begun maneuvering in your direction and are expected to arrive within two minutes.”

“There aren’t many of them, so they may not be able to stop them!”

“It’s okay, we don’t have to stop anyone.”

After Chen Chen finished speaking, Li Bang on the opposite side immediately fell silent.

After a moment, he asked slightly surprised:

“We don’t need to stop those people from 24 STS? Don’t we need to kill them?”

“unnecessary.”

Chen Chen answered firmly, and then explained:

“We have done what we should do in this battle.”

“24 STS has been detained. Next, they will definitely call for support.”

“The intensity of the conflict here will further increase, and this will become a real front line and a real battlefield for refueling.”

“24 STS gotta stay alive.”

“The longer they survive, the greater the damage to NATO.”

“Next, it depends on how determined the Syrian side is!”

On the other side, Suhail troops.

Suhail Hassan has already commanded the few remaining troops in his hands to reach the periphery of the battlefield. As Chen Chen expected, he did not directly launch an attack on 24 STS, but continued to output firepower after maintaining a certain safe distance. Stay present.

What he has to do is simple.

Instead of exchanging the lives of his own soldiers for the lives of a few elite special forces soldiers, he should find ways to slow down their retreat and buy time for other supporting troops!

That was the plan from the beginning.

After discovering the hiding place of the special forces, the man who led the “legendary mercenary group” of the Dongfeng Corps immediately made suggestions to him.

Don’t attack blindly and don’t try to clear out the enemies in the city.

Because as the scale of the battle further expands and as the intensity of the fighting between the two sides increases, it is completely impossible to pursue “rejecting the enemy outside the city.”

The difference between canines and teeth, the presence of me among you and you among me, is the normal rhythm of a city offensive and defensive battle!

To achieve such a rhythm, and to maximize the destruction of the enemy’s effective forces while weakening local air threats as much as possible, we must learn to make good use of the steel jungle of the “city”!

Give up the positional warfare mentality and learn mobile warfare and guerrilla tactics.

Let go of the idea of ​​​​annihilation war, surround the point to provide reinforcements, and take a long-term view to catch the big fish!

I have to say that this idea coincides with Suhail’s own strategic thinking.

As a veteran who has been in the army for more than 20 years, he knows better than anyone else how powerful the enemy he faces is, and he also knows better that it is impossible to confront this enemy head-on with the power of his motherland.

Therefore, he has to do something that no one else has done, and he has to use some tactics that no one else has used.

Air raid?

Come on then.

I will not be afraid of your air strikes, because as long as you are unable to mobilize large-scale ground forces to intervene in this war, Telerifat cannot be lost!

At this moment, his thinking was extremely clear.

Encircling the enemy’s key and elite special forces, forcing the opponent to use air force and land aviation forces for rescue on a large scale, and then eating them up bit by bit and weakening the opponent’s morale bit by bit, is the core of achieving final victory!

Of course, to achieve this, we cannot rely solely on the limited power in his hands.

As the man said, if you want to catch prey with a trap, the key is not to let the prey “step into the trap”, but to ensure that the jungle that traps the prey still exists!

Therefore, Taylor Rifat cannot be lost, at least not in the short term.

The government forces fighting against the Free Army on the front line need more assistance!

Thinking of this, Suhail, who was hiding behind the bunker, took a deep breath.

He took the dialed satellite phone from the communications soldier, and after making sure that someone on the other side was listening, he spoke slowly but firmly:

“Father.”

After a brief silence, a vague and slightly old voice came from the other end of the phone.

Suhail listened quietly and then replied:

“Yes, I’m in Tel Rifat.”

“No, it’s not nice here.”

“You know, those vicious dogs from the West detonated poison gas here.”

“Yes, sarin gas.”

“A lot of people died, innocent civilians.”

“But the good news is, I seem to have caught the culprit.”

“24 STS, America’s Special Forces.”

“They were trapped in the city – according to their plan, they were supposed to evacuate after the rebels captured Tal Rifaat.”

“I can’t let this happen.”

“Yes, I need your help.”

“The more the merrier, we have to defend Tal Rifat.”

“No, this is not stupid revanchism, we have to demoralize NATO here, we have to take their place and put pressure on their Congress to reconsider their decision.”

“No matter what the cost, we have to keep them here.”

“we have to.”

Before Suhail finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man opposite.

And then, through signals of varying strength, he got the answer he wanted most.

“The 124th Brigade will depart from Aleppo to support Tal Rifat within one hour.”

“General Issam will personally command the 104th Armored Brigade. He will arrive, don’t worry.”

“I see.”

Suhail breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked again:

“Issam really coming?”

The man on the other end of the phone paused briefly, and then replied:

“He will go.”

“His son Yarob will attack with the 104th Airborne Brigade in an hour.”
