Chapter 249: A Real Collision
Chen Shen didn't know when the Shadow Corps would withdraw from Jing Dong, but as Jing Dong's "anti-foreign interference" sentiment intensified, he keenly judged that the Burmese army should be about to lose its bearing.
And this also means that the preparations of the Dongfeng Corps must be accelerated.
In addition to the truncated version of the RPD obtained by White Dog, Chen Shen also ordered a batch of C-5 rockets from Mangxin with the help of Huamei's identity, but because it was a bit difficult to obtain this thing, there was no way to arrive in time.
This is a minor omission, after all, as a helicopter gunship, ensuring the supply of ammunition should have been the most basic demand.
But the problem is, no one could have predicted that Chen Shen would fight so fast.
Helicopters have only been here for a long time, and they have already participated in two operations and knocked out more than a dozen armored units
The efficiency of the use of this kind of equipment can be called "what you see is what you use."
Therefore, Chen Shen did not have hope for the new rockets, and in the end, he still started from the individual equipment, and replaced all the 7.62X39mm bullets of the Dongfeng Corps with a more penetrating 7N23 bullet model, which was used to replace the original M43 bullet, and even some of the bullets of the main shooter.
As for the 7.62X54mm caliber used in the machine gun, it is naturally also a replacement for B-32 armor-piercing incendiary bombs.
The number of bullets in this batch is not too large, but it is really expensive in this place in Pubei, a 7N23 bullet, the asking price is close to 6 US dollars, BZ is 11 US dollars, but the B-32 is cheaper, only 5 US dollars.
The role of supply and demand in the market can be said to be fully revealed.
The price of the M61 armor-piercing bullet used by SCAR-H is more expensive, and Huamei Commercial Bank searched all over Pubei and used almost all the relationships used by Xu Youneng, and finally only found a batch of 400 rounds of M61, and the asking price was $40 per round, which is obviously arbitrary pricing under absolute monopoly and has nothing to do with the market.
The Dongfeng Corps has 4 SCAR-Hs, and the average of 4 precision shooters is 100 rounds per person.
You say it's not enough, it's barely enough.
But if you want to say enough, it seems too reluctant.
This problem made Chen Shen very difficult, and he almost decided to let the precision shooter give up the SCAR-H, which had been training for two months and had gradually adapted to it, and return to the SVD.
After all, the 7.62X54mm armor-piercing projectile used in SVD is still very sufficient.
——
But at this moment, there was good news from Xu You's side.
He still couldn't find the M61 armor-piercing shell, but he found something more fierce.
PI86 armor-piercing incendiary bomb of Belgian origin.
In 2010, the crisis in the European Union intensified, starting with the Greek sovereign debt crisis, and many countries, including Ireland, Spain, and Portugal, fell into deficit crises.
Once the crisis starts, it will inevitably develop in an uncontrollable direction, and the chaos of the European socio-economic order will eventually lead to the loss of control of the most basic things in the "countries in disaster".
One of the most typical is that the "arms trade" of these countries has begun to get out of control.
Stockscraping is becoming more and more common, and even arms that have just arrived in the warehouse are sold the next day.
And this batch of PI86 armor-piercing shells flowed out of Greece and finally to all parts of the world.
The Dongfeng Corps has picked up a leak, although the price is very high, but the lethality of this thing is the same as that of ordinary 7.62X51mm nato bullets, but it is definitely not the same.
Not only can the SCAR-H be used, a full 12,000 rounds of ammunition, but even the M240 of the Dongfeng Corps can be replaced with new ammunition.
This also means that the Shadow Corps will inevitably be equipped with Level 4 body armor, which has lost its meaning in front of the Dongfeng Corps-—— at least, it has become much more vulnerable.
And looking at the boxes of bullets pulled back one after another, the white dog's understanding of "modern confrontation" has reached a new level.
"In order to fight a battle, Tut-tut-tut, I changed all the bullets of the whole team, and this is the first time I've seen this operation."
"We've hit targets with body armor before, but at most, it's just a 'aim at the head'."
"Who would have thought that there was a way to change bullets."
"That's because you were so poor."
Chen Shen replied disapprehantly.
This sentence made the white dog speechless.
Objectively speaking, in fact, the Lion Corps is not poor, before the Dongfeng Corps took over, they stopped and stopped for a year, and they also had an income of hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars.
However, after excluding staff salaries and commissions, most of this money is used to "maintain customer relationships".
No matter how much you save, the money you spend will be spent cleanly, and the money allocated to "equipment renewal" is really pitiful.
At that time, the Lion Corps couldn't have imagined that the same identity as a mercenary and the same "cooperation" with the warlord was not just a way out of "being a dog".
Like the Dongfeng Corps, gift-giving? What to give?
Do you want a cloudburst bomb?
As long as the value is played, some value that can be bought with cash is not so necessary.
——
However, in the final analysis, this concept of the Lion Corps is still because the thinking is too conservative and cannot keep up with the changes of the times.
They don't know the importance of equipment, and their understanding of combat effectiveness is still at the level of "personal soldier kings".
Therefore, it is actually inevitable that the Lion Corps will be eliminated, even if it is not absorbed by the Dongfeng Corps, it may be swallowed by the warlords one day.
After all, doing things with land is like fighting a fire with a salary.
Thinking of this, the white dog couldn't help but sigh as well.
Then he spoke:
"It's not a question of poverty, it's mainly a matter of vision."
"These bullets are very expensive, but they don't have any."
"PI86, more than 10,000 rounds, the total price is more than 200,000 US dollars, and you can afford to spend it."
"However, we really didn't have this concept at the time, but fortunately we have learned it now."
"By the way, the regiment commander, I said before to check the equipment, and in the past two days, I found that the weight of our individual equipment is too large, and if we fight in the jungle, it is difficult to ensure continuous mobility."
"Look, do you want to lose weight?"
"Yes."
Chen Shen nodded slightly and replied:
"You can bring fewer explosives and throwing objects, and it is good to bring one offensive and one defensive shot of blasting grenades per person."
"Smoke grenades are limited to grenadiers, and shock grenades don't need to be carried, and the Shadow Corps definitely won't eat them."
"The secondary weapons are all cut off, the machine gunner with only the machine gun, the rifleman with the rifle only, the precision shooter with only the SCAR."
"There is no need for a pistol, do not bring it."
"Also, don't carry any non-essential supplies, we have helicopters that can be airdropped directly."
"Everyone should travel as lightly as possible and maintain mobility as much as possible while maintaining protection."
"Understood!"
The white dog nodded immediately, while Chen Shen continued to turn his head to test the new armor-piercing bullet with the others.
The effect is very good-—— and even several times, one shot of SCAR-H directly penetrates the body armor.
Under such armor-piercing firepower, the Shadow Corps is really going to suffer.
Chen Shen nodded in satisfaction, and at this moment, his phone rang.
It was Jiang He who called, and he brought brand new information.
It is likely that a civilian airliner will take off a day later, but this is likely to be a suspicious tactic.
Because, a member of the Shadow Corps who was originally stared at in the city has completely disappeared.
His residence in Jingdong was empty, leaving no trace.
If he was going to fly, he was unlikely to change his accommodation at such a time.
There is only one answer:
The Shadow Corps are running away.
None of the rallying points came out of any of the rally points, which proved that the Shadow Corps had not run far, that is, the Dongfeng Corps had even given themselves a full day ahead of the Shadow Corps.
This is undoubtedly a huge piece of good news, and perhaps even the Shadow Corps itself did not expect that their tricks and suspicions seemed to be playing a clear card in the eyes of the Dongfeng Corps.
I have to say that if they were dealing with other opponents, after playing this move, they would probably be able to escape from Jingdong smoothly, and then disappear from everyone's sight quietly.
But alas, their opponent is the Dongfeng Corps.
This is the power of intelligence, Jiang He has not even officially joined the Dongfeng Corps, he has already dedicated his first "combat exploits".
According to the information provided by him, everyone went into action.
The crew, who had already been prepared, were all ready to move equipment, ammunition and other supplies to the Mi-171 one by one.
The payload of this aircraft can reach 4 tons, that is, without taking into account comfort, this thing can pull up to sixty or seventy people.
——
Of course, that's the Indian Rafah.
But no matter what, it is very simple to pull more than 20 people at a time and carry a small amount of equipment and supplies, and even the cabin space is quite spacious.
After all the fighters boarded the plane, the Mi-171SH flew directly to Meng Bin and landed in the town of Dong Tart, which was under Meng Bin's control.
This is a mining town in the middle of the mountains, whether it is concealment, safety, or the convenience of launching a subsequent attack, it can be guaranteed.
He Bangxiong personally rushed to Dong Tart Town to meet the large army of the Dongfeng Corps, and arranged fuel and logistical supplies for the Dongfeng Corps here.
At this time, there were at least 12 hours left before the Shadow Corps officially began to evacuate Jingdong-—— saying at least 12 hours because it was possible for them to withdraw after the civil aircraft took off, but it was impossible for them to withdraw before it took off.
There was plenty of time, but Chen Shen didn't arrange anything.
He just asked for plenty of guards, and then everyone had to lie down in bed and go to sleep, whether they could sleep or not.
Because it is very likely that they will not have a chance to rest normally for many days to come.
The mercenaries obviously knew this, so everyone really started to sleep, this scene made He Bangxiong a little confused, but he didn't understand it.
So, after sleeping, eating, sleeping, and exercising twice to maintain the state, in the eighth hour, the Jingdong side of the Burmese army announced the news that the civil aviation was going to take off and leave.
The news caused an uproar, people took to the streets to demand the lifting of martial law, and a large number of police battalion soldiers were transferred to the airport to maintain order and prevent shocks, so that the management of entering and leaving the city was relaxed, and many people, including Bao Qi and others, took the opportunity to withdraw from Jingdong.
Chen Shen still missed one point in the end, that is, to cover the Shadow Corps, the plane does not necessarily have to take off, but just let everyone think that it is going to take off.
But fortunately, it's still too late.
According to his estimates, after leaving the city from Jingdong, it would take at least two hours for the Shadow Corps to reach the nearest assembly point, and these two hours were enough for the helicopter to complete its preparations before takeoff.
——
The fact is that it took only 5 minutes to release the mechanic, because his inspection criteria were not "no accidents", but "can fly back".
In this way, all the team members sat in the cabin, waiting for the final take-off order.
Chen Shen sat at the nearest part of the hatch, and after that, he would be the first to go out of the cabin to perform the rope landing.
He was flanked by the Li Gang, the only member of the core group who was selected to participate in the rappelling.
Looking at Li Bang's indifferent expression, and then looking at the nervousness on the faces of the other team members who were about to participate in the rope drop, Chen Shen couldn't help but ask:
"Why, not nervous at all?"
The engine had already begun to warm up, and his voice was a little muffled amid the noise of the propellers.
But Li Bang saw the shape of his mouth, just shook his head simply, and replied:
"Not nervous."
"Why aren't you nervous?"
"Because I'm not afraid."
"Then why aren't you afraid?"
At this point, Chen Shen suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.
He almost thought that Li Bang was going to answer "not afraid is not afraid".
But fortunately, in the end, the other party just said:
"Because it's so simple."
"Okay."
In fact, Chen Shen knew that the matter of suo descending was definitely not simple for Li Gang, and he had to practice two or three times if others practiced the action once.
In a way, he is indeed much dumber than others.
But at the same time, he is indeed more able to endure hardships and be more energetic than others.
In particular, the Devil's Month, which he participated in for the first time before, had already laid an "anchor" in his heart, making him naturally think that everything in this world could be learned through "practice".
If you haven't learned it, you haven't practiced enough.
So, in such a state of mind, he can not hesitate to put in the effort for something, and this effort will eventually pile up and form a huge breakthrough.
The manifestation is that he will be slower to start than most people, but once he becomes proficient, he will be more familiar than most people.
This is probably a talent, right?
Chen Shen didn't ask any more questions, and at this moment, He Bangxiong ran to the helicopter and passed on the information of "finding the target" to him.
The location is on the east side of Jingdong, near the No. 4 assembly point of Wangushan Mountain.
The distance is 50 km, the flight time, it only takes ten minutes.
Chen Shen gestured to show that he was clear, and then, with an order, the helicopter rose from the ground and rushed due east.
Shadow Corps, Dongfeng Corps.
The collision of these two "professional" teams is about to begin.
