Chapter 119: The Great War is Coming!
At the sound of an order, the exercise began.
The red side in the trenches had a good time not to fire until it reached the effective fire range, and the blue side, which was advancing in a single column formation towards the target point of the trenches, had no intention of slowing down the advance with fire.
The scene was quiet and eerie, until the distance between the two sides was reduced to about 300 meters, and the horn of the blue attack finally sounded.
The forward grenadiers began to throw smoke grenades forward, and two grenade riflemen fired grenades at the bend of the trench.
The training shell exploded in front of the red mercenaries like a cannon battle, and they were unmoved, but the director directly announced that the three were out.
Thus, the battle officially began.
Gunshots rang out in a dense manner, and laser lines flew through the smoke, and although most of them were blocked, there were still a small number of lasers that were the most kill indicators piercing through the smoke and shooting in the direction of Blue.
——
However, this did not cause any damage, as the blue side did not intend to use the smoke as a cover at all.
After leaving one Heavy to suppress the fire, the remaining six began to assault at an alarming speed, and the distance of 300 meters was instantly reduced to 200 meters, and everyone grabbed cover and began to make final pre-assault preparations.
The transition between movement and stillness is instantaneous.
Variable speed is the essence of trench assault warfare!
At this time, the blue side is completely hidden behind trees, rocks, or ground folds, and the direct fire of the red side loses its target, and the limited explosives cannot cause effective damage at all.
The 4 light machine guns continued to fire to maintain a suppressive posture, but the problem was that the distribution of the 7-man group was too scattered!
Yes, there are a lot of them, but the ammunition is limited after all, and the average person occupies an area of more than 300 square meters, even if a group of 3 people suppresses a single target, it cannot completely limit the movement of the blue side!
So much so that the blue side can even easily switch cover and continue to advance while the fire continues!
This is the difference between the offensive and the defensive.
Many people think that in a shock battle, or simply a "positional assault" battle, the defending side has a great advantage, and as long as they keep strafing in front of them, even a rabbit will not be able to escape.
But in fact, this is the quintessential stereotype.
The actual situation is that when the strength of the offensive and defensive sides has reached a certain scale and there is not much difference in weapons and equipment, the defender's advantage is indeed very great.
But if in a positional assault battle, the number of people on both sides is less than 100, or even less than 20, then the situation is completely different.
Because, with the density of firepower of the defenders, there is simply no way to cover a vast battlefield with rugged terrain and many bunkers, and it is impossible to form an effective suppression at all!
If I don't rush forward, what can you do?
As soon as the gunfire stopped, I ran, and as soon as the gunshots rang out, I fell to the ground. You hit a hammer!
This is why, in the first battle of Chen Shen's crossing, there was obviously not much difference in numbers, but the allied company he was in was bitten to death by the Burmese side, and even the number of people was bitten to only about 20.
This is because the defender's range of movement is limited, while the attacker's range is close to infinite.
This difference in the range of movement will dilute the defender's suppressive power infinitely, even to the point of insignificance.
At this time, the white dog on the red side also discovered the seriousness of the problem.
Their own side has consumed a lot of ammunition, and half of the scheduled ammunition base for the exercise has been removed, but they have not even defeated the blue side alone!
Moreover, the opponent has already broken into the 150-meter range, and the final impact is about to begin!
It's a dilemma.
Suppression is a slow death, if you don't suppress, when the opponent rushes to within 30 meters, then your own superior firepower will be completely invalid, and you will be forced to enter the rhythm of close-range combat, and then it will be pure gambling.
What to do?
White Dog's mind spun rapidly, and he tried to shrink the line and increase the thickness of the fire, but the moment he gave the order, the moment the personnel in the line began to be dispatched, the commander of the opposing side keenly caught the signs of a change in firepower.
The final blast was immediately launched, and the grenadiers again used smoke grenades for masking, while using explosives for suppression.
The fireteam occupies the dominant position and outputs at full strength, while the mobile group flanks in accordance with the FM tactical norms.
The two precision shooters, Jackal and Chen Shen, played their role to the fullest, and within a distance of less than 100 meters, they knocked out three machine gun points from the flank.
The firepower of the red side weakened instantly, and in the battlefield divided by smoke grenades, the blue side had already advanced to within 30 meters.
Next, it's a complete hand-to-hand encounter.
What marksmanship, what equipment, in trench warfare have lost their meaning, the only thing that determines the outcome is one word:
Fast!
Another change of speed, the BLU team made the first team after entering the trench, and the remaining five men split into two groups and attacked from each flank.
The staggered firepower caused the white dog to miscalculate, and he mistakenly put a relatively large number of troops on the side with the light machine gun, and instead allowed the mobile group with two accurate shooters to press the formation into the rhythm of direct action.
This is no longer a battle, but a harvest.
The speed is to the extreme, whether it is shooting or sports, Jackal and Chen Shen cooperate tacitly.
At a certain moment, Chen Shen even found the rhythm of the previous IPSC training
Enter the trench for 30 seconds and the battle ends.
All of the red side was killed, and only one person from the blue side was left alive.
But the winner or loser is between this one person.
The white dog looked at Chen Shen who was walking towards him dumbfounded, unable to speak.
Yes, he lost.
But, he doesn't know how he lost!!
Obviously, he made an absolutely error-free perfect deployment according to what he learned in the Lion Corps before, and it was clear that most of the time in this battle, his own side still had an advantage, and it was clear that before the final impact, his casualties were completely within the controllable range-—— even the three people who were blown out by the grenade, he felt that it was just the director team who released water.
But in the end, the tide of battle was reversed in less than a minute!
Nearly 30 minutes of fighting, the biggest casualties, only happened in these 60 seconds!
This is not the suppression of equipment, marksmanship and technology.
That's it. Tactical suppression.
In other words, according to Chen Shen's deployment, as long as the mercenary has passed the technical level, he can achieve similar results!
The white dog suddenly had a thrill, and a flash of realization flashed in his mind.
The core lies in the blue side's variable speed assault.
Every fast-paced attack of the opponent corresponds to your own weak point.
Incomparably precise, incomparably decisive.
Is this the real tactic?
Damn, what did the Lion Corps learn before?!
The white dog rushed forward and grabbed Chen Shen's hand.
Then he spoke:
"Sir, I'm going to learn this!"
In the next two days, Chen Shen completed the surprise training for newcomers as planned.
The effect is remarkable - of course, not only in terms of combat quality, but more importantly, in obedience.
In a word, convinced.
This was originally one of Chen Shen's purposes, things on the battlefield were uncertain, and they could always think of all kinds of reasons to excuse themselves.
It's not that you're stronger than us, it's that the times make heroes, it's that our guns are not good, it's that our equipment is poor, it's that we didn't eat enough for breakfast, it's that we are too full for breakfast
In a word, shi can't pull it out and blames the floor for being too hard.
But what about now?
I'll set the perfect standardized conditions for you, and the two sides will be completely equal and have another hard fight, are you convinced?
Coupled with Chen Shen's amazing record of 100-meter target gun and ten rings after regaining his senses displayed in shooting training, the newcomers are completely convinced.
After all, they are mercenaries, and they don't have much perception of what interests, zz, and strategy.
However, fighting ruthlessly is really ruthless in their eyes!
In two days, Chen Shen's prestige was officially established.
It's just the beginning, it's not a solid start, but there's no doubt that it's a good start.
At the very least, when everyone saw him, they had already begun to call him "regimental commander" from the bottom of their hearts, rather than "sir" according to the practice of intentional or unintentional alienation.
After the basic fusion training, Chen Shen selected 10 team members, and the team leader named Sang Ye led the team to Mengyang to carry out the mission, while the white dog took the rest of the people to continue to stay in Mengka to train, waiting for the follow-up tasks.
I have to say that the original basic plate of the Lion Corps is really big.
In just a few days, the number of tasks that can be taken into Chen Shen's hands has reached 3.
There are armed escorts, there are those who seize points to attack, and there are even rapists and arresters.
"You used to be really, you did everything"
Sitting in the office on the second floor of the office building of the Dongfeng Corps, Chen Shen said speechlessly to the white dog.
"That's not it, we didn't accept this before, but this one is more special, I think we can take it."
"Why?"
Chen Shen asked curiously.
"Leader, look at the mission briefing, this time it was Huamei Commercial Bank that caught the rape and sent the task, Huamei Commercial Bank is Meng Yang's largest commercial firm, and it was not the wife of the owner of Huamei Commercial Bank who was, but his daughter."
"It is said that he is a hairy boy, I don't know why I was taken by the boss's daughter, I eloped for a while, and I was pregnant when I came back."
"Now the boss wants to catch that kid back and kill him, but unfortunately he can't find anyone."
"Don't you think it's funny? It always feels like a big gossip."
Hearing the white dog's words, Chen Shen couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What does that mean? I think it's quite outrageous, in a place like northern Myanmar, there is still a plot where Lang Qing and concubine have no guesses? ”
"Who knows? People are weird sometimes. ”
The white dog spread his hands and continued:
"Judging from the background, the kid to be arrested is a civilian, but if he can get in touch with the daughter of the owner of Huamei Commercial Bank and get people done, he must have some ability, and he is definitely not a guy who eats soft rice."
"He may have some secrets or tricks in his hands, otherwise Huamei would not have offered a high price of 50,000 US dollars to arrest such a person."
"I mean, if we could get a kick in it, there might be a bigger benefit, not just the money."
"You kid is so fine, why wasn't you the head of the regiment before?"
Chen Shen asked.
"Hey, the hereditary system, plus Hu Kaicheng is really good at fighting, and he also has a hand in military training, and everyone is convinced."
"And I know what level I have, I'm okay as a military advisor, but it's really a lot worse to be a regiment commander."
The white dog smiled and replied.
"Okay. You send two people over to see what the situation is, and if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, pull it down. ”
$50,000 is indeed a lot, and if there are enough people, there will be no loss in dividing it.
"Alright, Captain! So I'll arrange it now? ”
"Go, go, go."
The white dog happily exited the office, but soon returned and filled the empty cup that Chen Shen had placed on the table with tea.
Chen Shen rolled his eyes at him.
What a dogleg! ——
However, judging from the fact that he was pressed by Hu Kaicheng for so long, he was honest and took the initiative to take risks to try to rescue him when he attacked, he is still a dog leg who talks about rules.
That's enough.
Doesn't he just want to make more money?
Give it to him.
People who don't want anything are the most untrustworthy people.
Thinking of this, Chen Shen shook his head slightly, looked at the table again, and sorted out the follow-up training and action plan of the Dongfeng Corps.
Now he is not a mercenary captain who only needs to charge ahead, he is the boss of a professional corps, and the things that need to be considered are obviously more macro and specific.
How to improve the combat effectiveness of this corps, how to achieve long-term operation, how to transform in the future, and how to make profits in the great changes.
It's all a problem.
Speaking of which, why hasn't there been any movement on the 756 Brigade's side?
Hasn't Jiya agreed with them yet?
Chen Shen scratched his head, but at the moment when this thought crossed his heart, his mobile phone rang.
Picking up the phone, before he could speak, a woman's voice came from the other side.
"Shipwreck, I'm Jiya."
!!
What do you want to come to?!
Chen Shen was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked:
"What's the matter?"
Ji Ya's voice on the other side was a little tired, but it also vaguely revealed a hint of excitement.
"I have reached an agreement with He Bangxiong."
"There are a few things, in Dachili, and I need you to help me get it back."
"The remuneration is to be paid by the 756 brigade, and the time must be within two weeks."
"Help me take this task."
"If I survive, I'll give you more in return."
"No problem, how much?"
Chen Shen replied dryly, while Ji Ya on the other side was stunned.
So easy to say yes?
I thought I had to do everything I could to convince him
Also.
Although he doesn't care about my life or death at all, it is good for him that the Southern Shan State is in turmoil
Thinking of this, Ji Ya continued to speak:
"$500,000, as long as it's something, any way can be."
"What's that?"
"Memory cards, memory cards with photos and videos, plus, a pack of samples, a few fingers, in a sealed bag."
"Fingers??"
Chen Shen's brows furrowed.
Both memory cards and samples can be understood, what the hell is a finger?
"It's a finger cut off from a corpse, I dug it out of the grave and cut it off."
"The 505 Brigade disagreed on the issue of Maguo, they organized a purge, and a group of people disappeared."
"It was Nuo Kang's hands, I have been following them from Qingsheng, and after escorting the equipment to be handed over to the 505th Brigade, they helped the 505th Brigade do some dirty work."
"This is the most important piece of evidence because it proves the truth of everything I say."
"As long as it is proved that these disappeared people are dead, the 505 Brigade will be able to sell hemp fruits."
"The 756 Brigade will use this as a basis to create public opinion, cut off the possibility of cooperation between the 505 Brigade and the Burmese side, and force them to form an alliance with the 756 Brigade to resolutely go to war."
"That's what you want, isn't it?"
Ji Ya told all the information in her hands without concealment, with smooth logic and clear intentions.
But.
Followed the drug dealer all the way, and dared to dig up the body?!
What kind of psychological quality is this?
It's no wonder that after being tortured as a star wrath in the dungeon for so long, the will has not been destroyed in the slightest.
He's a ruthless man.
"Got it, I can do it."
Chen Shen replied calmly, but after all, he couldn't help but ask:
"Even so, do you think you'll really survive?"
"The 505th Brigade is not worthy of going against the Thai side, and after getting the things, they will hand you over immediately."
Jiya was silent for a few seconds before replying:
"It's my own business."
"At least for now, the opportunities are getting bigger."
"At least, I made the call myself, right?"
"Understood, give me the details, and I'll leave in two days."
After that, Chen Shen hung up the phone and called Peng Xucheng again.
"Boss Peng, the opportunity for the 756 Brigade has come."
"I'm going to take a trip to Dachili and come back with something."
"This time I'm doing something for everyone, you always have to get the funds in place, right?"
"Not much, $1.6 million."
"Within two weeks, things are going to start to change."
"Understood, I'll take care of it!"
Putting down the phone, Chen Shen let out a long breath.
The butterfly, which was far away, began to flap its wings.
The wind is rising in northern Myanmar, and the big war is approaching!
