Chapter 225: Anyway, let's talk about it after burning

The discussion continues, and there are many strategies that have been proposed, but each one is really focused on the same idea, that is, heavy fire destruction.

This is indeed the most common idea in urban warfare, otherwise, there would not be quite extreme examples such as Li Mei's fire attack and little boy's barbecue.

It is undoubtedly the safest means to use "non-contact" means to kill and injure the enemy's living forces, and to send light infantry into the finishing touch after it is safe to do so.

However, the safest does not mean the most commonly used.

Because of this type of means, the requirements for the level of equipment and the saturation of firepower are too high.

In the vast majority of cases, urban warfare continues in a step-by-step manner.

And in general, this way consists of several steps.

First, cut off and isolate the external links of the target city with superior forces.

Subsequently, the outskirts of the target city were cleared and a reliable starting point for the attack was established.

Immediately after that, purposefully capture the key points of the target city, and achieve the division of the city from the enemy's rear forces.

Finally, concentrate superior forces to gradually annihilate the fragmented remnants of the enemy army.

It stands to reason that Chen Shen can also be so big.

Because, although the number of enemies is large and the level of armament is high, since the vast majority of armed personnel are mercenaries, the will to fight cannot be too strong.

But the problem is that he has too few men at his disposal, and in the absence of an effective encirclement, the enemy has much more room to maneuver than his own.

When the time comes, it will not be the enemy who will be "annihilated by the concentration of superior forces", but oneself .

Chen Shen frowned, he really began to seriously consider the plan of "getting a cart of ammonium nitrate to blow up the target area to pieces" that the team members said.

But whether it is the procurement of raw materials, the manufacture of explosives, or the delivery of explosives, it is a rather difficult problem to solve.

It's really not good, let's transfer people.

It's too far from Mengka, but if you transfer someone from Peng Deren, it is not difficult in theory.

Although these people lack experience in urban warfare and lack basic combat qualities, they can still play a significant role in filling in the line.

But—

Wait a minute.

If you just need cannon fodder to fill in the line, why do you have to use someone to fill it?

The real role of cannon fodder is to consume the enemy's firepower resources and force the enemy to mobilize manpower to deal with it, so as to break the balance of forces between the two sides in a small area, so that the commander can easily divide the battlefield, and form a situation in which more fights are fought and fewer are frequent, and the superior is inferior.

So theoretically, as long as the same goal can be achieved, the use of cannon fodder is qualified.

In urban warfare, especially in modern urban warfare, there are still many equipment and tactics to achieve the same goal.

Among them, unmanned equipment is the most typical scenario, but in addition to unmanned equipment, tactics such as heavy fire suppression, air unit alert, and comprehensive electromagnetic interference are also quite effective.

Of course, the Dongfeng Corps does not have these things, but there is no doubt that the Dongfeng Corps can use a flat version of the tactic.

Chen Shen looked at the battle map again and began to carefully study the terrain of the target area from another angle.

The built-up area controlled by the Shadow Corps is a trapezoidal area approximately 200 meters long and 150 meters wide, surrounded by the city's main roads, with three roads running through them, dividing the entire area into three rectangular defensive zones from west to east.

Theoretically, no matter which direction your side attacks from, the opponent can quickly move around with the help of city roads, and then organize an effective defense with dense structures.

But what if you can use some means to eliminate the opponent's ability to support quickly?

There is no need to interrupt for too long, just hold for a few minutes, and your 20-person squad can complete a rapid breakthrough in a rapidly reduced urban area, give priority to knocking out an area, occupy favorable terrain and form a combat starting position, and then rely on the firepower advantage to gradually encroach and swallow the entire area little by little.

It's definitely not going to be a difficult task.

On the map, there are only 12 buildings in the easternmost area, and 5 of them are ordinary brick and wood structures, none of which need to be broken through, and 1 thermite grenade can be cleaned up.

The other 7 buildings are reinforced concrete, two of which can be blasted with cloudburst shells, and the rest of the buildings can be cleaned up using team CQB tactics.

In terms of numbers, it is just enough to launch an attack on all the buildings simultaneously, and there is no situation of being besieged or attacked on the back.

It was perfect.

The only question is how to achieve the goal of "eliminating the enemy's rapid support capability".

Chen Shen didn't have a good idea for a while, so he directly threw the question out.

And the team members who were still thinking about what equipment to blow up the entire area just now instantly felt that the difficulty had been reduced by several levels, and even the proposed plan was much more reliable.

"Is it okay to split the smoke? Smoke plus thermite grenades? We have the means of delivery, which can ensure the coverage of delivery within a certain range. ”

"No, the smoke division can only be blocked for a short time, and on the opposite side is the Shadow Corps, they can't have thermal imaging equipment to support us to clean up and establish a defensive line."

"Where's the fire attack?"

"Without the conditions for fire attack, large equipment and vehicles can't get in, and if there is, it will be covered directly. What we need is a weapon that can be ready to launch an attack in a short period of time, because the longer it drags on, the better prepared the other side will be, and it will not be able to hit. ”

"Actually, to be honest, there's a very simple way, just pay a bunch of people to break in-—— they can't just slaughter civilians, or if they do shoot, then we don't have to fight."

"Don't talk about that."

Chen Shen hurriedly interrupted the team member who was speaking, because he knew that although this plan seemed reasonable, it was equivalent to grabbing and throwing it at the enemy with his bare hands.

The enemy is stinking, but what about you?

And after hearing Chen Shen's words, the man also smiled apologetically and said:

"I'm sorry Captain, my previous habits have not been stopped, but I really have a way to completely cut off the connection between the three areas."

"What's the solution?"

Chen Shen immediately asked.

After a moment's thought, the man replied:

"The layout of Banglong is different from other places, and the city was not a natural settlement from the beginning."

"It would have been a farmland-—— a farmland dedicated to poppies."

"And, it's still that kind of management very. Very professional kind. ”

"So, as a result, the layout of the city is different from other places, and the buildings look cluttered, but the roads are actually very straight."

"The reason is simple, these roads were originally distributed by the field paths that were used to divide the poppy fields."

"So you see, the whole of Banglon's buildings is distributed in blocks."

Chen Shen looked at the map in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he found details that he hadn't noticed before, or had noticed, but had subconsciously ignored.

That is, all the streets of Banglong are basically distributed horizontally and vertically from north to south and east to west.

The street is straight.

And it's straight, that means

"That means that if we fire a shell from south to north, it can fly all the way down the street to the other side."

"I wonder if we could come up with something throwing that could throw a string of explosives, or a string of Molotov cocktails, evenly down the street. Isn't it possible to use this street to completely separate the enemy? ”

it?

What kind of sapper minesweeper type blasting rope ?!

Don't say it, this idea is really feasible

The principle of the blasting cable is actually very simple, a rope is stuffed with gunpowder explosives, and the rocket is used to throw, and the blasting rope is evenly distributed in a long area hundreds of meters ahead, and then detonated with the help of a delay fuse

What if you could replace the gunpowder in the blasting cord with thermite?

Yes, a blasting rope would only take less than two hundred meters in length, and just one would completely block the entire street.

Moreover, this thing is not troublesome to make, and to be honest, even if there are no rockets, it can be used with a projectile launcher.

Because it doesn't have to be too coarse at all, the incendiary blasting cable is different from the real blasting rope in that it can be dismantled

If you split it into several sticks and launch them separately, the power will not be affected at all.

——

Or, optimize it a little more.

To open the mind, the launch of this thing does not need to be "in the air" at all.

As the mercenary named Rat said, the streets of Bangloon are very, very straight.

And the street is straight, which means that the sewers are also straight.

yes, I can't pour liquid fuel into it, because that thing could blow up the whole city and turn a special operations operation into an air raid.

But if .

How about I just find a way to use a thin line through the street that runs through the target area, and then pull that thin line a few hundred meters away to pull the explosives into a predetermined range?

Is this a fantasy?

Not at all!!

In May 07, a Stryk armored car in the United States was blown up beyond recognition by a roadside bomb, and the investigation team in charge of the investigation did not find out what the problem was for half a month, and finally found that the source of the explosion was not a "roadside bomb", but a "sewer bomb"!

The local militants used a simple rope device to tow the explosives to a predetermined position from a distance of several hundred meters, and then used the pipeline structure at the predetermined position to guide the shock wave and high-temperature fuel along the pipeline structure to the bottom of the armored vehicle, giving the Stryk a unique bottom-piercing attack.

Since there are successful examples, then I can't blame you.

Joke, Kurdish do it, I can't do it?!

Chen Shen's thinking instantly broadened.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Your idea is good, although a bit rudimentary, but the key information you provide really gives us very pioneering ideas"

"Let me ask, what is the best way to get a line through the sewer without being detected?"

When the words fell, everyone immediately understood Chen Shen's thoughts.

"We're going to plant an explosive device through the sewers?"

The mouse's eyes lit up immediately, for he knew that this thing really had a trick.

Anyway, the purpose is to divide the battlefield, not to invade private houses, and the path through which the sewer passes is indeed enough to cover the scope of demand!

The spirit is coming.

He couldn't wait to speak:

"We can just use a mouse - I don't mean me, I mean just a live mouse tied with a thread through it"

"No, it's so controllable, who knows where the rats will get out? If you plan to be exposed, you don't have to play. ”

"Is the sewer in Bang Loong clear? Can it be towed directly with floating objects? ”

"It's possible, but further reconnaissance is needed, so quickly notify the short-legged ones to take a look, don't go to the target area, just take a look around the perimeter!"

"There has to be a backup plan, and on the other hand, fuel has to be reconsidered."

"The 'delivery' of this plan is too small, which means that we have to get some other fuel."

"I don't feel like there's enough thermite fuel, is there anything else I can use?"

"Isn't napalm okay?"

"Napalm is not blasted and thrown, we want to build a wall of fire, it has to be the kind that has a super high temperature and a super wide area."

"Then throw it out."

Chen Shen interrupted their discussion, and then said:

"We only need a few minutes of flames, and with enemy territory on both sides, we don't need to think about civilian casualties."

"Napalm is really the most suitable choice."

"Sealed thermite core, viscous napalm gasoline fuel wrap."

"Thrown by a single explosion, ignited by a secondary explosion."

"That means it's pretty clear what we're going to do next."

After a moment of silence, Chen Shen spoke:

"White dog, find a way to get some styrofoam XX, do you know what that is? It's XXX, you know? Just go to the supermarket and buy it, it's everywhere! ”

"Don't you use rubber?"

The white dog asked suspiciously.

"That thing needs to be heated up accurately, and if we can't play with it, we can just do what I say."

"Understood, what about gasoline? How much do you need? ”

"Let's try a few barrels first, and if it works, we can make more."

Speaking of this, Chen Shen paused for a moment, and then continued:

"In addition, we had to buy a batch of soft rubber pipes, which had to be slightly larger, but they had to be able to go through the sewers."

"At the same time, we had to make a blast thrower, and I thought about it, and it was the most complicated thing because we had to open the whole drain."

"Let's wait for the investigation team to report the situation of the sewer, but basically, our plan is already operational."

"Understood!"

Everyone answered in unison, and soon, the task was broken down layer by layer and carried out layer by layer

Two days later, all the intelligence and equipment were ready.

It's not that the Shadow Corps are unresponsive, they are still strengthening their defenses.

Several new watchtowers have been erected in Gao, and their reconnaissance and alert areas have been further expanded.

But they got one thing wrong:

Their enemies are not from the air, nor from the ground, but from the underground.

Looking at the "incendiary cord" that had been assembled in front of him, Chen Shen exhaled deeply and nodded with satisfaction.

The volume of this thing. It's really not that big.

After splitting, you can even wrap it around your waist and take it in.

And when they are assembled, it will cause a violent fire.

How many times has this been set on fire by the Dongfeng Corps?

Chen Shen has lost count.

But it seems that every time you set fire, you will release new tricks?

If it goes on like this, it's time for the bitter sour next time.

Whatever?

Fight?

Spank!

Fight is burn burn, burn burn, burn and then talk!
