Chapter 282: Smoke Bombs? Smoke bombs!

After the internal problems were resolved, action against the Tachili was quickly put on the agenda.

Due to the imminent change in the situation in Thailand, the window of time that the coalition forces could take advantage of was actually extremely narrow, so Chen Shen did not waste time, but acted quickly and began to prepare for the subsequent offensive of the Great Force.

The work of assembling and rearming the team was naturally completed by the two brigade commanders themselves, and Chen Shen did not interfere too much, because what he wanted to do was to make his Dongfeng Corps, as a "sharp knife", play the greatest role in the follow-up urban street battles.

It's definitely not an easy thing to do.

According to Chen Shen's plan, after entering Daqili, the Dongfeng Corps will use the advantages of vehicles to quickly maneuver throughout the city, assist the large army to clear out all key targets, and receive information from all aspects as a mobile force, and organize reinforcements and rescue of weak points in a timely manner.

He has only one purpose, that is, to desperately find fighters on the broad front of Dachili, to make up for the disadvantages caused by the offensive and defensive situation as much as possible, to level the balance between the two sides little by little, and finally achieve victory.

And to achieve this goal, Chen Shen must first ensure that three things are done.

First, as far as possible, there should be no large-scale combat attrition.

The team in his hand is just this one, and there are 29 fighters at full capacity, and in the local battlefield, these 29 people can be said to be invincible, but the problem is that in the urban street fighting, the number of local battlefields is too much.

If one or two combatants are left behind in every local battlefield, then I am afraid that we will not be able to fight two streets, and our own troops will be completely lost.

So, the goal he pursued was to have no more than 10 percent casualties in the entire operation.

That is, the casualties are less than 3 people.

Second, he wants to ensure the mobility of this team.

It's easy to understand that only with enough mobility can this team go back and forth throughout the battlefield and play its due role as a sharp knife.

Third, he had to make sure that the team was fast enough to kill.

It is an indisputable fact that the killing is fast, and the maneuvering transition is also fast.

Therefore, based on these three points, Chen Shen made a series of equipment adjustment plans.

First of all, in order to ensure that there is no combat attrition, the need for personnel protection has risen sharply.

Not to mention the light armor worn by some highly mobile personnel of the Dongfeng Corps before, even if it was a fourth-level armor, it is no longer enough now.

With the help of the Huamei Commercial Bank, he urgently purchased a batch of heavy explosion-proof shields from the north, which were specially used for attacking buildings.

This blast shield can completely resist the shooting of large-caliber bullets of 12.7mm and below, and the protection against close-range blasting damage is also considerable, even if there is only one side in the siege battle, it is enough to block all the light fire fired at the team in the building.

The only downside is that the weight of this thing is too large, and one person can barely carry it, but it is impossible to carry it for a long time.

Therefore, Chen Shen improved the explosion-proof shield -—— welded universal wheels to it.

This way, on the level ground, the spearhead in charge of the blast shield can push it forward.

And in addition to blast shields, more smoke grenades, more stun bombs, and more grenades are actually a kind of protection.

At this point, the foreshadowing that Chen Shen had buried on Peng Deren's side should also come out.

He squeezed out all the equipment of the Allied Army, and asked Peng Deren to transport all the throwables he could find in his hands, and Peng Deren was also quite powerful, in just one day, he sent nearly 10,000 projectiles to the Dongfeng Corps.

These included nearly 2,000 smoke grenades of various types, more than 1,000 stun grenades and 6,000 grenades, mainly of the Maozi model.

Of course, this does not mean that the deal between the two parties has been completed, but it can be regarded as a relief to some extent.

At the same time, after learning about the plight of the coalition forces, Peng Deren also shelved all kinds of disputes with the Wa State "regardless of previous suspicions", opened up the trade route from Kokang to Wa State and then to Northern Shan State, and sent a batch of ammunition to Mengka that the coalition forces were in short supply.

Of course, the quality of these munitions cannot be demanded, because most of them are produced by the earthen arsenal near Kokang, but it is better to use it than not to use it well.

In this case, Chen Shen's goal of "strengthening protection" has been basically completed, and the next step is to strengthen mobility.

The most important thing to maintain mobility is to ensure the safety of the vehicle.

When the vehicle is there, the mobility is there.

In addition to the two armored assault vehicles owned by the Dongfeng Corps, the 756 Brigade hollowed out its own funds, provided the Dongfeng Corps with two MT-LB personnel carriers that are common in this place, and welded double-layer fence armor to the assault vehicles in the most simple and crude way according to Chen Shen's requirements, so as to ensure the survivability of the personnel inside the assault vehicles as much as possible.

At the same time, helicopters are also an important means of maneuvering, in order to ensure that the helicopter can take off and land smoothly, Chen Shen asked to quickly destroy the opponent's air defense units after entering the field - this work will be handed over to the private soldiers of the 756 Brigade to do.

In the end, because Tachili has a Rock River as a boundary river to cross, maneuvering through the river is also an important means, so the task of getting the Thai side of the road is handed over to the jackal.

He must use his connections to turn a blind eye to the conflict on the Lok River, or at least not to be intercepted by Thai ships across the border.

Chen Shen thought that this matter would be difficult, but he didn't expect that the jackal would easily handle it.

——

Because in fact, during this time, the Burma-Thailand Friendship Bridge has long been closed, and the Thai side is not willing to get involved in this side at all.

At this point, the problem of mobility is solved, and the next thing is the problem of killing speed.

To solve this problem, the idea is actually very simple:

More bombs, more large-caliber bullets, more machine guns.

Chen Shen almost configured the number of machine guns in the Dongfeng Corps to the limit, an average of two machine guns in a team of four.

Since it is mainly an urban indoor battle, he does not plan to engage in the traditional CQB attack at all, but adheres to a principle:

If you can blow it up, you don't need a gun; If you can penetrate it, you won't enter.

As long as the peripheral firepower points are solved, other follow-up large units can slowly use grenades to complete the finishing and sweeping work.

Based on this line of thought, a large number of incendiary bombs that had not had time to be used in the previous fight against the Shadow Corps were finally used, and at the same time, Jackal also brought new good news to Chen Shen, that is, he got a batch of cloud burst bombs.

There are a total of 22 pieces, theoretically speaking, it can already help Chen Shen to build 22 scattered city strongholds.

It was perfect.

At this point, Chen Shen's equipment preparations were all completed.

The next thing to do is to spend a few days resting and running-in, and then when the time is right and the 505th Brigade is at the end of the infighting, it will launch an all-out attack on Dachili.

And just when all the preparations were in full swing, a person who surprised Chen Shen arrived at Mengka.

——

Or rather, it's not unexpected, it's just that he didn't expect Xiaoyu to come over at this point in time.

This time, Xiao Yu did not inform Chen Shen again, and when he returned to the villa, Xiao Yu was already sitting in the living room waiting for him.

This illustrates a problem.

The control of the north is being strengthened.

For Chen Shen, this was a good thing, so he didn't show any surprise, but naturally walked over and said:

"Come on, come on, what else do you bring? Don't have anything with you? ”

"Didn't bring anything, didn't bring anything."

Xiao Yu spread his hands and replied:

"What do you want? Do you really want to fly to Moutai? Before the battle was over, you were thinking about drinking? ”

It's not a guest who comes empty-handed, and I don't understand this rule? There is no Moutai at 53 degrees, and there is no tank at No. 59? ”

"Nothing, don't be here with a hippie smile."

Xiaoyu gave Chen Shen a roll of his eyes, reached out and patted the sofa next to him and said:

"Come and sit."

This scene reminded Chen Shen of some very popular short videos he had seen on WeChat in his previous life, and he subconsciously snorted in his heart, but he still pretended not to care and sat down.

"You really make this your home, and I'll come and sit down next time you see me come back, remember to stand up and greet you, is there something you should be?"

"Yo, Chief Chen, it's different to beat Jing Dong down, and you're hard to speak?"

"That's not it, say three days, take it in two days, you just say I can't do it!"

Chen Shen's words were frivolous, but there was only a flat smile on his face, Xiao Yu shook his head and replied:

"It depends on whether it will work or not, so don't go so far."

"I came here this time to have something on business, don't keep interrupting."

While speaking, Xiao Yu motioned to the security personnel on both sides to turn on the jammer, and Chen Shen also waved his hand, allowing other unrelated personnel to avoid.

The living room was quiet again, Xiao Yu looked at Chen Shen, and said:

"I have an important suggestion for you."

"According to the current situation, international public opinion and the opinion of professional institutions, you can no longer use incendiary bombs as the main means of attack in this combat operation."

"Now you're out of everyone's sight, and it's when the limelight is at its tightest."

"If incendiary weapons are used on a large scale in cities recklessly, it will inevitably cause widespread skepticism and criticism."

"When the time comes, not only you, but the entire Pubei and its surroundings may be implicated."

"You have to think about international repercussions, because now you are an armed organization that is attracting international attention."

"Are you kidding me?"

Chen Shen looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief and asked.

What kind of joke is this? Can't use incendiary weapons?

If I had a large yield of aerial bombs, or an abundance of heavy weapons, would I use such a dangerous and unflattering thing as incendiary weapons?

Isn't it because the equipment can't keep up, the funds can't keep up, and the consumption is forced to downgrade?

Now you're telling me that because of an illusory international influence, you're not going to let me set it on fire?

Then you might as well just say that this battle is not fought.

Of course, Chen Shen didn't mean that he would really set fire to Daqili, because that really didn't meet the demands of the coalition forces.

But.

Whether I use it or not, and whether I can use it, are completely different things.

Even if I really don't use it this time, I can't promise you "I don't".

That's the bottom line.

Nonsense, if it really comes to the point where it has to be used, don't let it be used, and take human lives to fill it?

What the?

Isn't the life of the Pubei people fate? Is MLM good!

Seeing Chen Shen's expression, Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly, and then explained:

"There are some things that you and I don't have a choice in."

"What you see is that public opinion is fermenting at the moment, and what you think is that your image is biased towards the positive, but I want to tell you that it is always the majority who are silent."

"That New York Times story has a lot more impact than you think."

"Countless pairs of eyes are staring at you, including your enemies."

"The reason why I want to give you this advice is actually for you."

"We're not saying that you're going to change your style of fighting from now on, and we're not saying that you're going to impose some rules on you."

"It's for you."

"You have to think long-term and plan a way out for yourself, you know?"

"I understand."

Chen Shen nodded slowly and replied:

"I know your intentions, but I have one thing I have to say."

"Setting fire is not what I want to set on fire, and if there is another option, I will not choose to set fire."

"Every time I make a choice that you think is 'inappropriate', I choose from two things: 'life' and 'rules'."

"In order to survive, I have to follow the rules."

"But"

Xiao Yu wanted to interrupt Chen Shen, but Chen Shen raised his hand and continued:

"Needless to say."

"This matter is not negotiable, even if you tell me that if I don't listen to the advice this time, I won't cooperate in the future, and my answer to you is the same."

"That is: I don't have a choice, so I have to choose."

"Okay, no more talk."

"If you want to stay here longer, your bed is there; If you don't think there's any point anymore, then I'll send you back. ”

"I'm still welcome to you at all times, but I"

Speaking of this, Chen Shen paused involuntarily.

And Xiaoyu finally found an opportunity and interjected:

"I'll give you another choice."

"We have a batch of old antiques that are of high value, and if you need them, within two days, they will be in place."

"What's that?"

Chen Shen's heart moved.

Antique?

It can't really be 59, right?

His expression changed abruptly, and he looked at the little fish expectantly.

The latter looked at Chen Shen silently for a few seconds before replying:

“RD4。”

“RD4? What's that? Haven't heard of it. ”

Chen Shen was disappointed, but suddenly, a series of memory fragments flashed through his mind.

It was the scene of the TMC-65U smoke truck on a battlefield swallowing clouds and spitting smoke.

——

Wait a minute.

RD4, isn't it the thing that Maozi used before equipping the new generation of smoke equipment?

The one used in the Maozi TDA3 smoke truck is an improved version of the RD4 device.

It was a large-scale smoke-generating device born during World War II, with the principle of thermal reaction smoke generation, which could be directly used on a variety of vehicles.

An RD4 smoke generator produces smoke with a radius of almost one kilometer and lasts for several hours.

And, most critically

This thing is the simplest diesel smoke generator, so simple that as long as you keep refueling, the smoke will be produced all the time.

Crucially, the smoke it produces does not have the anti-infrared capabilities of modern aerosol smoke generators, and does not prevent thermal imaging equipment from being used.

Here comes the most crucial part.

In terms of the number of thermal imaging equipment, the coalition side crushed the 505 brigade.

Whether it was the batch imported by Chen Shen before, or the one that was seized before.

At the very least, the coalition forces can achieve the extent that each 20-man squad has at least one passive thermal imager and one active thermal imager.

And the 505 brigade will definitely not be able to do it.

, tailor-made!

This thing is so much better than setting fire!

Not only do you not have to think about overly complicated tactics, but you will not hinder your own actions!

I'll just say, the Yankees won't be so unreasonable!

Chen Shen's face immediately returned to a smile, he moved his body, approached Xiaoyu and said:

"Gee, I knew you wouldn't come empty-handed."

"It scared you, didn't you? It's okay, buddy, I'm messing around with you. ”

"By the way, how many RD4s do we have? Can you get it today?"
