Since the Shadow Corps had chosen the No. 4 assembly point, Chen Shen could basically guess their intentions.

There is no doubt that they intended to cross the Wan Kat Mountains and then go directly to the town of Wak in Kham, located on the west bank of the Mekong River, where they would get transportation and follow the Mekong River all the way through Mongla Pier to the main Mekong road, and then down the main road to Tachilik.

This waterway Chen Shen is really very familiar, because when they fought Nuokang before, they walked more than once.

It's just that at that time, the direction of his side was basically against the current, and now the Shadow Corps is against the current.

And Chen Shen knew very well that he could not let them easily reach the Mekong.

Although the river chase sounds very cool, in fact, the danger factor for the helicopter pursuit side is also greatly increased.

Due to the relatively narrow river channel and the lush vegetation on both sides of the river, the other party can drag the high-altitude reconnaissance into a rather awkward situation by precisely controlling the boat and letting the boat travel along the river bank:

If you want to find someone, you'll have to lower the height and get closer.

But once the altitude is lowered and the distance is shortened, the helicopter is a moving target for them.

Chen Shen didn't know what weapons the Shadow Corps had in their hands, but he wasn't willing to take any risks.

What if they arranged an assault boat with anti-aircraft guns here?

No, you don't need anti-aircraft guns, just build a fishing boat and load a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, and you can cause a lot of trouble for yourself.

It's okay if you can't catch up when the time comes, and if you get a plane to destroy and die, then it's nonsense.

Therefore, Chen Shen's strategy is simple:

Call for support.

Bao Qi and the four of them had already left Jingdong at this time, they arrived at Mengka half an hour ago, and the four of them could just drive the Jianglong assault boat over.

It would take five hours, which meant that Chen Shen would need to hold off the Shadow Corps for at least three hours—because at the fastest pace, it would take them more than two hours to reach Wacker Town through the jungle.

Everything is clear, and the next thing to do is to get ahead of their path and stop them with the gun in your hand!

After an 8-minute flight, Chen Shen and his entourage have reached the sky above the No. 4 assembly point, overlooking from a high place, there is a particularly prominent tree, which is the "sacred tree" that nearby villages often come to pray for, and it is precisely because of this easily observable feature that this place will be selected as the assembly point.

But now, there is no one near the assembly point.

Even through the thermal imaging equipment on the helicopter, Chen Shen did not see any trace.

It's common but also. Very unusual.

Often, thermal imaging is not really "omnipotent" in a jungle environment, and overly dense foliage will block the transmission of infrared signals, and in many cases, even if it flies overhead, as long as it is properly concealed, the helicopter will not be able to detect the heat source.

But the problem is that the Shadow Corps has obviously completed the assembly and started to maneuver in the squad, and their heat signature should be quite obvious.

Even if you can't pinpoint it, it's not always difficult to find one or two heat sources, how can you find nothing like now?

Can they also have anti-IR camouflage??

Chen Shen couldn't help frowning.

In fact, the anti-infrared -—— or to be more accurate is called "anti-thermal imaging camouflage" is not as magical as many people think, the high-end point has nickelized metal fabrics, and the simpler ones can be directly painted all over the body with mud.

But the latter is obviously not something that the other party will do, so it is obvious that the Shadow Corps has specially prepared the corresponding anti-infrared equipment, which means that they know very well who their real enemy is, and they also know very well that they will definitely be intercepted!

They didn't take any chances, which is really the quality that a professional team should have.

It seems that this jungle battle will become quite difficult to fight.

Seeing that it was impossible to achieve results in the aerial reconnaissance, Chen Shen immediately decided to directly land on the 1 kilometer east side of the No. 4 assembly point, on the connecting line with Wacker Town.

He wasn't afraid of the Shadow Corps attacking at this time, because if they could hit themselves, the Mi-171SH's side-door machine gun would be able to hit them as well.

Everyone is equal in front of 12.7mm caliber bullets, and betting on whose life is bigger should never be something they can do.

And sure enough, everything went smoothly for the rope drop.

The helicopter dropped 5 ropes, and the 5 people reached the ground almost at the same time, and then, Chen Shen immediately ordered below:

"Establish a defensive line on the spot, and the Firebird will hover to the No. 4 landing site to deliver and take off again immediately after completing the delivery."

"The landing crew is led by Lin He, and they will arrive at the landing point within 15 minutes and meet us!"

"Roger, grew."

Cheng Lei's calm and even relaxed voice came from the headphones, Chen Shen didn't say much, but immediately used the RCON telescope he carried with him to search all the surrounding areas after turning on the thermal imaging mode.

The view on the ground was superior to that in the air, but this time, he still did not find any trace of an active target.

It's a bit of a bad situation.

The strategy used by the other party is really exactly the same as the strategy he chose before, he doesn't need any external aid, he doesn't add any unnecessary manpower, he just drills into the jungle, how can you find me?

There are many jungles in northern Myanmar, and as long as they are determined to hide inside, it is really difficult to find.

Not to mention that they also have anti-infrared means.

And the most important thing is that this time they are not like the last time of the Dongfeng Corps, and they still carry a burden like Jiya.

All of them are elites, all of them are combatants!

In this case, if another team comes to chase after you, it may directly declare the mission a failure.

But fortunately, both White Dog and Lin He have rich experience in jungle tracking.

There's still room to fight.

Chen Shen waited patiently, and after the helicopter successfully landed at the landing site a few hundred meters away, Chen Shen immediately ordered the assembly to begin.

Both sides are not very manpowered, and in order to ensure reconnaissance capabilities in jungle maneuvers, they must be shrunk together as much as possible.

"Groups 2, 3, and 4 immediately approached me, and we were very close to the enemy, advancing in a Z-shaped rapid search."

"The reconnaissance team advanced in echelons, keeping a distance of more than 100 meters between each group."

"Watch for cover, don't"

"Boom!"

"Bang bang!"

There was an explosion in the earphones, followed by a continuous gunshot, Chen Shen's words were interrupted before he could finish speaking, and then, Cheng Lei's voice sounded.

"Small groups of enemies were spotted, and they were ambushed near the landing point."

"There are RPGs that didn't hit me."

"Fire suppression is being carried out, it is not working well, reinforcements are needed."

!

Chen Shen couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart.

Sure enough, it was taught by a master, and the ideas are almost exactly the same!

Chen Shen's intention was to carry out the landing at a long distance and cut off the opponent's travel route, but the other party was not stupid, they directly advanced quickly and ambushed near the most likely landing point, taking themselves by surprise!

"Someone is hurt! Someone was hurt! ”

"Suppress! Fire suppression! ”

"What about RPD?! RPD！ ”

"Leave the landing point and enter the jungle!"

"Retreat! Central Law Retreat! ”

"Leave the body alone, he's hopeless!"

The chaotic shouts kept ringing out, and even if he was a few hundred meters away, Chen Shen could feel the intensity of this sudden attack.

At least two people have already been reduced, and the cover of their own helicopters is a little weak.

No way, there are just too many obstacles and bunkers in the jungle!

Even if the hatch and tailgate were fired at the same time, the suppressive force that could be fired was extremely limited.

But the good news is that limited is better than nothing.

In 30 seconds, the two machine guns poured out nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition, instantly pressing back the enemy in the semi-arc area, giving the airborne group time to retreat.

Chen Shen had already begun to lead the team to the landing point, and at this time, Cheng Lei's voice sounded again.

"The landing group is retreating to the assembly point position, sinking the ship, organizing response, do not continue to advance."

"I see a heat source in the forest, and there may be enemies around."

"Understood!"

Chen Shen took two deep breaths, dispelled the slightly cluttered thoughts in his mind, and straightened out his thoughts again.

Then he opened his mouth and ordered:

"Evacuate according to the central stripping tactic, and the landing group will leave the landing point as soon as possible and go to the original No. 5 assembly point on the north side to rendezvous."

"The wounded stay put."

"Firebird, cover the wounded and cut off the enemy's pursuit route."

"White dog, lead the team to move forward quickly, disengage, don't let them catch it!"

"Lin He, abandon the heavy equipment, bring tracer bullets, you go out alone, bite them!"

"Understood!"

"Understood, the firebird hit three people, and the enemy has fallen to the ground."

Everyone immediately replied, and Chen Shen also began to turn, heading at full speed in the direction of Rally Point 5.

The situation was very critical, and Chen Shen really couldn't have imagined that the other party would actually use such a crazy and aggressive strategy to launch a surprise attack on his own side!

They really fought against the heavy fire of helicopters, and even almost succeeded.

This is because they don't have enough bazookas in their hands, and if they do have one for each person, maybe this Mi-171 landing will become a "hippopotamus fall".

As the height of the helicopter increased, the suppressive force returned to the side of the Dongfeng Corps.

The stormy bullets continued to tilt downward, and Shi Dakai also set up the M82A1 at the hatch, and with the help of the search of thermal imaging sights, he captured the heat source in the jungle, and then found the enemy who was shooting, and directly smashed it into pieces with one shot.

.

The 50 bullets could completely ignore the defense of the heavy body armor worn by the opponent, and with this iconic gunshot, the pressure on the entire Dongfeng Corps suddenly decreased.

The RPD fired incessantly, and the flying bullets limited the enemy's pursuit, and the whole crew of the parachute group, led by White Dog, made their way through the forest at a speed impossible for any other team.

"The landing group is basically safe. When the shipwreck, did the firebird stay near the landing point and seek an opportunity to carry out rescue? ”

"Stay where you are and organize the rescue as soon as possible. Who's on site? ”

Chen Shen replied decisively, and after a while, a hoarse voice came from the earphones.

"I'm Scythe, I'm here. The smoker was killed, the old hanger was seriously injured, and the cockscomb and I were slightly injured. ”

"I'm bandaging, the cockscomb is on alert, save the old hanger immediately."

"Understood. Hold on and wait for reinforcements, the enemy's position is exposed, and he will withdraw soon. ”

"No. 3, determine the location of the wounded and throw smoke grenades at the enemy-to-us line for cover."

"Understood."

Shi Dakai replied calmly, and then, smoke bombs were thrown one after another.

The sudden counter-ambush operation finally came to an end, and the gunfire stopped, and it was clear that the enemy had completed its withdrawal.

Incomparably decisive, incomparably swift, incomparably resolute.

With Cheng Lei's superb technology, although the enemy failed to directly destroy the helicopter, it was successfully dragged down.

This is a strong enemy!

Although the enemy also paid the price of at least 4 killed, they used these 4 lives in exchange for a chance to annihilate the Dongfeng Corps.

This kind of decisiveness can't be found by the original team of the Shadow Corps!

Their individual quality is indeed not weak, but it is absolutely impossible to have this ability to accurately capture fighters on the battlefield!

The commander who commanded the Burmese army in an armored assault was from the Shadow Corps.

It's a real hammer, because the style of these two battles can be said to be almost identical.

Chen Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, and led the five people on his side to start a rapid advance towards the assembly point.

Without the cover of helicopters, the intensity of fire of the Dongfeng Corps dropped by a notch.

But fortunately, after the first tentative attack, the enemy, who had paid the same heavy price, had to spend time regrouping, which gave the Dongfeng Corps a chance.

After 20 minutes, all the team members completed their assembly near Rally Point 5.

The defensive line was immediately established, and the reconnaissance team went forward 300 meters from four directions to stand on guard, while at the same time, the helicopter that had completed the search around the landing point also found a new landing site, and after waiting for a few minutes, the lightly injured sickle and the cockscomb dragged the old crane that had been punched through the thigh and was seriously injured by blood loss boarded the helicopter.

Subsequently, Shi Dakai assisted the mechanic to carry out emergency hemostatic treatment on the seriously injured, and the mechanic used almost the same technique as Chen Shen, but more rude.

The condition of the wounded is basically stable, immediate evacuation is not possible, and helicopters continue to carry out battlefield support missions.

The battlefield has been reshuffled, and the Shadow Corps has paid the price for their adventurous plans.

Their location is completely exposed, the evacuation direction is also locked, Chen Shen can be completely sure, Wacker Town is also a smoke bomb, they are going directly to the south!

The intelligence on Lin He's side kept coming, and the advantage that the other party had established with the help of anti-infrared equipment was gone.

Now, the Dongfeng Corps is only 800 meters away from the main force of the Shadow Corps, and the pursuit time is only 40 minutes behind.

And, Lin He has bitten them.

He was constantly guiding the helicopter, and Chen Shen, on his side, also began to chase in the direction of the Shadow Corps' escape.

At this time, between the dense forests.

Connor was leading his team at full speed, and he knew that there could be no enemy in front of him, so he simply abandoned the reconnaissance formation and moved directly into the column that was most conducive to increasing speed.

The atmosphere of the whole team was a little strange, and the sacrifice of their comrades made them unhappy, but the fact that "it is very likely that they had escaped from their pursuers" made them extremely relaxed.

His lieutenant, the former Captain of the Shadow Corps, complained in his ear, and Connor didn't stop him.

"Damn, that rocket was really close!"

"If I had known that I would have brought a few more rockets, I said that I couldn't sacrifice everything for mobility!"

"That pilot, he's definitely an old oilman, he found mine first!"

"He locked on to all possible launch positions when he landed, where did he come from? It feels like he's going to get a few fucking rockets a day! The experience is so great! ”

"Damn it, I could have wiped them all out."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Connor finally couldn't help but interrupt him, and then continued:

"The purpose of this assault was not originally to annihilate them, do you think that on the other side are these rookies who have just gotten the helicopter and can't even swing and maneuver?"

"They're from the North! Their land voyage drove a dolphin and beat the hairy hind to find its mother! ”

"You haven't seen their drills? Didn't you look at the Peace Mission in '09? ”

"Don't complain, it's good to play like this, at least for now, we've settled them."

"But why don't we just go? How could they possibly catch up with us? ”

The adjutant asked, puzzled, and Connor replied hatefully:

"Didn't I say that you need to know your enemy, that their helicopters can fly accurately over our heads?"

"They understand our plan and we have to give them the wrong signal."

"We have to disrupt their rhythm, at least for now, they don't have the ability to intercept them airborne by helicopters"

Connor's voice fell, and the adjutant stopped arguing.

But as the voice of the voice became smaller, Connor suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The sound of a helicopter, a little too close.

Will they still be able to find themselves?

It shouldn't be.

The canopy here is very dense, and you have anti-infrared camouflage suits, theoretically, there is no technology in this world that can detect you from high in the sky.

——

Wait a minute.

What if it's not high altitude?

Connor's eyes widened suddenly, but it was too late.

A barrage of gunfire rang out, and tracer bullets rose from the ground and flew into the air.

Then, the flames of tracer bullets like the Serpent of Death bit in the direction of the Shadow Corps.

Connor froze for a few seconds.

He subconsciously commanded everyone to hide, but forgot that tracer bullets were originally only used to indicate directions.

The sound of the helicopter suddenly became louder, and immediately after, hail of bullets fell from the sky!

Following the path of the tracer bullet, the 12.7mm caliber bullet swept by!

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and Connor's eyes were torn.

Fuck, how is this possible!

I obviously set up a trap, and I obviously left an observation post!!

A bullet pierced the small trunk of a tree in front of Connor, and then slammed into him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

His tactics are so subtle, so high-end.

However, his own enemy does not reason with himself at all!!

How the hell are you keeping up with me? How dare you keep up?!

It's too late to say anything.

Connor coughed violently-—— his lungs had been punctured
