Chapter 228: If there is one, there is a second

With the annihilation of the Shadow Corps' Banglong Branch, the entire Banglong fell silent in an instant.

Originally, the mercenaries who had been bought by money were scattered, and then they were surrounded by the Dongfeng Corps driving armored vehicles and "low-end self-propelled howitzer vehicles" and gathered in the middle of the combat area to wait for processing.

They didn't put up any resistance, because they knew that since the Dongfeng Legion had killed the main figures of the Shadow Corps, they would definitely not kill them again.

——

And so it is.

It's all for the money, and if you spit it out, it's over, how can you die?

Yes, not only the money, but also the equipment that the Shadow Corps gave you.

What? You say this gun and this body armor are your own?

Are you kidding! You've all worked for the Shadow Corps, can they still give you body armor?

That's what they sent!

So, in this case, the open space in front of the Banglong branch of the Shadow Corps was full of mercenaries who had stripped off their stripes-—— of course, the meaning of the stripes was not really insignificant, but compared to the heavily armed Dongfeng Corps, their bodies were as clean as if they were here to play soy sauce, and they couldn't even find a bullet

On this side, the work of receiving and controlling the captives is in full swing, and on the other side, Chen Shen has also rushed to the last "surrender point" of the Shadow Corps, ready to confirm their identities.

"Where are the people?"

Chen Shen stepped forward and asked the rat who was on guard on the side.

"Inside, it burned just now, and we hurriedly threw a few offensive grenades to extinguish the fire, but unfortunately it burned a little, and I guess the equipment on them is already useless."

"If it's scrapped, it's scrapped."

Chen Shen shook his head helplessly.

What can I do?

These old oilmen of the Shadow Corps even burned down his building, and they didn't plan to leave anything for themselves.

In that case, you have to be prepared to get nothing.

"Can I go in now?"

"No need to go in, we've already dragged people out."

"Huh? Can it still be dragged out? ”

Chen Shen subconsciously asked, but then reacted.

In the final analysis, thermobaric bombs mainly rely on high temperature and high impact pressure to kill, if it is not a fairly well-sealed environment, the human body is still subjected to high temperature and high pressure is still relatively "low dose".

Or to put it another way, not everyone will be "pasted on the wall" like Chen Yimin, and more will be like the charred corpses of the rat's fingers, which can be left with a whole corpse.

However, this made it quite difficult for him to identify him-—— he couldn't recognize who was who, not even if they were members of the Shadow Corps.

You tell that they are white, and they are, as evidenced by the bones and a small amount of skin that has not been completely burned.

But is it really dead, or is someone looking for someone to impersonate it?

Can't tell.

Chen Shen couldn't help frowning, he turned his head to the mouse and confirmed:

"Can you be sure that all of these people are members of the Shadow Corps?"

"I can almost confirm that they speak English very well and they are wearing uniforms. Taking a step back, we've searched almost the entire city, and we haven't found anyone else who escaped. ”

"I don't think it's possible for the golden cicadas to come out of their shells, after all, they have nowhere to hide."

"Isn't the assault group already in full control of the combat area? No other whites were found. ”

The argument is still quite convincing, but what if?

Chen Shen will definitely not let go of any possible risks, he must be cautious enough.

This is the key to his ability to lead the Dongfeng Corps to this point, and it should not be taken lightly at any time.

So, he spoke:

"Put all these bodies away and take them back to Monka."

"When the time comes, we'll send a notice to the Shadow Corps and ask them to send a third party to retrieve the body."

"If they don't come and ask us to send it back, the red blood cells are really dead; If they agree to come, it's alive. ”

"Understood!"

The rat replied immediately, and then instructed the others present to begin separating the equipment and packing the corpses.

Most of the equipment on the five men had been damaged by the heat, including their guns.

was roasted by a high temperature of 2,500 degrees, no matter how bold Chen Shen was, he didn't dare to take it back and use it again, so he simply destroyed it all.

It's a shame. After all, the equipment on these people is actually a small fortune.

But what if you don't?

In terms of the situation at that time, it was the safest choice to use thermobaric bombs to kill decisively, and risking the lives of his team members for the sake of petty profits was not in line with Chen Shen's concept of running a mercenary group.

Therefore, even though his team members were sighing with regret, Chen Shen did not show any disappointment, which is a quality he must have as a commander.

Of course, inner regret is another matter.

——

However, this regret was quickly erased, because as the reception of prisoners was completed, the Dongfeng Corps also began to carry out a quick inventory of the booty.

I don't know if I don't know if I don't count it, but when I count it, the Shadow Corps is really so rich!

12 monocular thermal imaging night vision devices alone have been seized, which can just make up for the lack of night vision equipment that the Dongfeng Corps will face after the expansion.

In addition, 4 pieces of heavy body armor were seized, all of which were brand new equipment that had not been hit.

Needless to say, there are other messy heavy machine guns and bazookas, which can't even be called war trophies, because Chen Shen can't transport so much at once.

But that's not the point, it's the things in the Shadow Corps building.

By the time the Bombing Command Destruction Evidence was carried out, the 5-member team of the Shadow Corps had already left the building, and the demolition and burning was handed over to their other mercenaries, which led to the "total destruction" being not fully completed.

Things are ruined, but the traces are not completely erased.

In the ruins after the explosion, the Dongfeng Corps were lucky enough to enter the destroyed arsenal in a very small time, and in this small arsenal, they actually found the treasure.

——

No, certainly not guns and ammunition or anything like that, and those things, no matter how good they are, can't be called treasures.

The real treasure is something that can complete the combat system.

That is.

RQ-11 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

of the wreckage.

Even though this thing had been burned to ashes, Chen Shen still recognized it at a sight.

Because the features of this thing are so obvious, short and thick, with rectangular wings, pusher propellers, and a dragonfly-like tail

the groove.

Pubei can still have such a thing?

Why doesn't the Shadow Corps?!

Wait, it's normal not to use it.

After all, the reconnaissance system of this thing is quite stupid, it uses an active infrared camera, and in front of the Dongfeng Corps with thermal imaging equipment, it is a big light bulb flying in the air.

If it does take off, it may not be able to fly more than a few hundred meters before it will be killed by a fire

The Shadow Corps couldn't possibly take that risk, as it was expensive to build and extremely difficult to obtain.

From 2004 to 2010, although there were more than 4,000 RQ-11 and RQ-11A in the air, most of these drones were deployed in the Middle East, and only no more than 200 were exported to India, island countries, Europe, the Philippines and other places.

Even if MPRI wanted to get this kind of equipment and deploy it elsewhere, it would take a lot of trouble.

But on the other hand, just because it's hard to get doesn't mean it's completely impossible.

Because Chen Shen clearly remembers that in 2011, that is, next year, a smuggler with a head iron would pour out several captured RQ-11s from the hands of the Iraqi Kurds, and then put them up for auction on EBay, and finally the CIA people stolen them and sentenced them to 20 years in prison.

What does this mean?

This means that the front-line control of the RQ-11 is slowly decreasing, and it is likely that MPRI has accumulated a considerable number of RQ-11s that can be used by the front-line elite troops.

Or to put it more bluntly, if there is one, there must be a second.

Because obviously, this thing came with the coaching staff of the Shadow Corps, it can't just be used to show the professionalism of the coaching staff, since it exists, it must be used.

Then that is to say

The headquarters of the Shadow Corps and, possibly, drones!

Chen Shen instantly came to his senses.

Well, there's one more reason to take out the Shadow Corps.

And after seeing his excited expression, Bao Qi also came up curiously and asked:

"Number 4, what is this?"

"Drone!"

Chen Shen replied briefly, but Bao Qi's eyes immediately widened.

"Drones? What drone? ”

"RQ-11, platoon-level reconnaissance drone, American cargo, good stuff."

"It's a pity that the Shadow Corps burned it. Damn, these losers, can't you leave such a good thing to me if you say it's going to be burned? ”

"If they had surrendered sooner and used this thing as a bargaining chip, I would have spared their lives."

Chen Shen's tone was mixed with annoyance and helplessness, and Bao Qi continued to ask:

"Such a small drone? Is it the kind used on the battlefield in Iraq? ”

"Yes."

"How did these people get it?"

In Bao Qi's view-—— in fact, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, at this point in time, drones are a kind of "science fiction" weapon, and the control level should be similar to that of nuclear bombs.

They couldn't imagine that a mercenary group active in Pubei would have such advanced equipment in their hands, and it was even a little difficult to accept for a while.

However, Chen Shen is different from them.

He knows that 2010 is the first year of the explosive development of drones.

In this year, the United States released a roadmap for the development of unmanned combat equipment in the future, and also began to invest in related industries on a large scale, support related scientific research, and the rapid iteration of military drones has led to the vigorous development of the civilian market.

In fact, DJI's first ready-to-fly drone, the Phantom 1, matured at this stage.

Seeing the RQ-11 in the Shadow Corps was shocking, but not bizarre.

So, he opened his mouth and briefly explained to Bao Qi the possible source of the drone, and after listening, Bao Qi's eyes lit up.

"So when are we going to grab it?!"

Don't act like a bandit, okay? How can this thing be so easy to grab? ”

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Bao Qi scratched his head embarrassedly, but then asked with a sly smile:

"It's not easy to rob, that is, you really want to rob it?"

"That's inevitable."

Chen Shen generously admitted it.

There is nothing to hide this, the contradictions between the Dongfeng Corps and the Shadow Corps have developed to an irreconcilable level, from the beginning of "accidentally" killing the "security officer" they arranged in the old fortune firm, to "accidentally" killing their coaching staff, and now, "deliberately" knocking out their Banglong branch, so many things have piled up, if you still have the luxury of hoping that the two sides can have a smooth ending, it is not just a stupid word that can be summed up.

Of course, if you want to fight, you don't have to fight right away.

After all, the headquarters of the Shadow Corps is in Jingdong, and it is in the midst of the heavy defense of the Burmese army, and it is not easy to break through the outer defense line to find them, and it is basically impossible to retreat calmly after defeating them.

In the short term, the two sides are likely to end in confrontation and skirmishes, and there is still a little time before the final decisive battle.

The most important thing right now is to make yourself stronger.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen no longer hesitated, he immediately commanded everyone to quickly search the headquarters of the Shadow Corps, and after making sure that there were no more valuable clues and equipment, he began to organize the evacuation without hesitation.

The battle took three days from preparation to start, but it took only 55 minutes from start to finish.

And, 40 minutes of that time were spent cleaning up the battlefield.

What is Special Operations?

This is the special operation.

Of course, this is only the rudimentary form, and if you develop to the ultimate form, the preparation time can be weeks or months

In any case, the first battle of the Dongfeng Corps after trying to carry out systematic operations was over, and in this battle, the Dongfeng Corps was also the first to complete the basic exploration of "multi-arms coordinated operations".

This is especially satisfying to Chen Shen, because he knows that the impact of a high-level start will be so deep that it will soak into everyone's bone marrow.

Those who have eaten meat will not be willing to eat vegetarian again, and mercenaries who have experienced the charm of systematic combat will no longer be willing to fight with their lives.

They will set a benchmark in their hearts, and they will subconsciously refer to this benchmark in every battle in the future.

In the 60th minute, the Dongfeng Corps quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and the "one-hour operation" came to an end.

Six hours later, the mercenary group returned to Monka in silence as if they had never left.

Xu You, who was under house arrest, was already a little anxious, and the news that the enemy was exterminated made him finally let go of the last scruples in his heart.

Just two hours after the return of the Dongfeng Corps, he paid a commission of $5 million and verbally agreed with Chen Shen on a follow-up cooperation plan.

It seems that all this has settled, but just when Chen Shen was about to rest for a few hours, an "unexpected" phone call went directly to Chen Shen's mobile phone.

It was He Bangxiong who called, and his tone was still enthusiastic.

It can even be said that it is a little exciting.

He lowered his voice and asked on the phone:

"Brother, did you wipe out the Shadow Corps?"

Chen Shen was stunned for a moment and replied:

"It's not gone, it's just that they knocked out their branch in Banglon."

"That's what I mean, that's what I mean!"

There was a sound of slapping his thigh from He Bangxiong's side, and then he continued:

"It's too fierce, brother, you're too fierce!"

"They just contacted me at headquarters, and they wanted me to be an intermediary and get the body back."

"Brother, if you put forward conditions, I'll help you negotiate!"
