Chapter 371: Confrontation

Chen Shen led the team all the way, and after more than 3 hours, they finally arrived at La Bota.

They arrived at the same time as the seaplane returning from the direction of Kendari, and after confirming that Bashir was safe, Chen Shen was finally relieved.

Seeing Zhang Yang who greeted him at the door, as well as Argus beside him, and the man who was a little unfamiliar, but could be distinguished from the uniform at a glance as a member of Task Force 88, the doubts on Chen Shen's face could be said to overflow directly.

"What's going on?"

He jumped off his beat-up pickup and asked Argus.

Then, before Argus could answer, he continued to order the team behind him:

"All personnel replenish equipment and ammunition, and prepare for the impact!"

"Set up a point of fire, poplar, set up the remote-controlled machine gun!"

"Remove the heavy machine gun from the plane! Don't go to the sky, the other side has anti-aircraft artillery, and the sky is a live target! ”

"The grenades are all pulled out, what about our guns? Hurry up and fill the shells, all on the high-explosive subbombs! ”

"Da Kai, contact Xiaoyu and ask her to urge support, why hasn't it arrived yet!"

"Lin Chenming, take Bashir down and lock him up first, be careful not to let him die!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

The faces of the people who had just experienced a big battle were full of fatigue, but their movements did not slow down a bit.

The team members scattered in all directions, and immediately went to execute the task after quickly assigning the task, and after seeing this scene, the man Chen Shen didn't know, that is, Buck, couldn't help but say with emotion:

"This is a professional soldier. They may be mercenaries, but they are definitely not ordinary mercenaries. ”

"The team that can knock out MPRI is really terrifying."

Hearing his words, Chen Shen turned his head suspiciously, and asked bluntly:

"Why are you here?"

Buck coughed and replied:

"We have reached a settlement with the police-—— we should say that we have revolted."

The word uprising is not a good word."

Chen Shen replied with a little sarcasm, but he also basically understood what Buck meant.

In fact, this was not surprising to him, although Task Force 88 was a team with "impure blood", their junior officers were at least somewhat "ideal".

If Task Force 88 insists on fighting them to the end when the military has already done such a desperate thing, then he is crazy.

But what exactly did Task Force 88 know?

Thinking of this, Chen Shen opened his mouth and asked:

"You've received new information?"

Hearing his words, Buck nodded slightly and replied:

"It may be a little rougher than your first-hand intelligence, but it's enough for us to make a decision."

"Understood."

Chen Shen nodded slightly, and then asked:

"You want to fight the military directly? How can you help? ”

"Equipment and personnel. Our team has set out from Kendari and they will bring new gear. ”

"What equipment?"

"Heavy machine guns, automatic grenades-—— we have the MK19, and a range of individual weapons."

"What about the heavy artillery?"

"Nope."

"Armored vehicles?"

"Nope."

On the opposite side is the main force of the 17th Military Region, the 756 Assault Infantry Battalion, relying on these things, how are you going to fight them?"

Chen Shen said with hatred.

Manpower is already insufficient, and now the situation of backward equipment has not changed at all, and next, if the military really tears its face and launches an attack on Qingshan Park, it will have no power to resist at all!

And after hearing his words, Buck shook his head lightly and replied:

"We're not going to fight them."

"All the equipment is provided to you."

"We will confront them unarmed."

“??? What do you mean? ”

Chen Shen asked in surprise.

"That's the only solution."

"In the current situation, any armed confrontation is likely to be used by them, and if they win, then it is not them who rebel, but us."

"So, we had to leave everything behind."

"We can only kidnap them with our own lives to buy time for the president."

"If the president can solve Nurmanti, then all the problems can be solved."

"But if, in their struggle, the president falls to the upper hand"

"Then there would be no point in our resistance."

"So, protect yourselves."

"You've done what you need to do, and if possible, I want you to evacuate with al-Bashir."

"We can't go, we need to wait for formal support."

Chen Shen refused without hesitation.

It was not impossible for him to ask the seaplane to fly directly to a position on the high seas where no one could find it and hide, but then the situation would deteriorate even further, and even bring consequences that were completely beyond his control.

Nonsense, no matter how correct your approach is, in the final analysis, you are just an "outsider".

And an outsider can't deal with a character like Bashir.

The only right choice is to wait for the support of the Indonesian authorities.

But they are too slow!

It has been more than 3 hours since Chen Shen made his request, but the support that should have arrived has not even been there.

——

If you think about it, too.

The whole of Sulawesi is already controlled by the military, and it is not so simple for the president to find available forces in the cracks.

Look around, it's all enemies.

There is no other way, and small fish cannot be omnipotent.

The current Chen Shen can only stay in Qingshan Park, within the sphere of influence in the north.

In this way, even if the situation does change uncontrollably, at least there is a chance and a reason for the side to fight to the death.

And considering the influence of the north, the Indonesian military has to rein in a little, no matter how crazy it is.

It's ridiculous.

One country's official institutions need to rely on another country's influence to deter its own military

Magical island country.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen continued:

"Stop talking nonsense and do what you have to do!"

"Understood, then go ahead and prepare."

Buck nodded, silently taking off his body armor.

He handed the body armor to Chen Shen's audience and said:

"Maybe you guys have better ones though. These clothes can be put on by you ordinary workers. ”

"No problem."

"Wang Qi, arrange for workers to wear body armor and enter the safe house."

"Don't withdraw from the park for the time being, I'm worried that if the military goes crazy, they may be used as bargaining chips"

With that, Chen Shen turned around and left.

And just a few minutes later, the first reinforcements from Kendari were in place.

40 members of Task Force 88, plus more than 200 police officers.

These people brought the automatic grenades that Chen Shen needed the most, and also the body armor that the workers needed.

One by one, they untied their equipment and placed it in the square inside the Aoyama Park.

Under Wang Qi's command, the workers in the queue put on body armor and then entered the safe houses arranged in various factories, dormitories and office areas.

Compared to the number of workers, the police officers are clearly "overloaded".

So, even after everyone left, there was a thick layer of body armor neatly stacked on the ground.

Next to the body armor are some police equipment that the Dongfeng Corps does not use.

Rubber batons, stun guns, small-caliber revolvers, tear gas, handcuffs, and even police shields and blast forks.

Looking at the equipment in this place, Chen Shen was inexplicably a little emotional.

Perhaps, even in this country, there is still a group of people who are working for their own true "faith".

I have to say that I had prejudices against both the police and the 88 Task Force before.

But now it seems that they are just "innocents" who are being pushed away.

This time, they will face the most formidable foe of their entire career, if not their entire life.

If they can cross the past, their future may change significantly.

If they can't cross it, they'll sleep here.

An hour later, the 756 Assault Infantry Battalion arrived near the Castle Peak campus.

——

Or should it be said that not only the 756 Assault Infantry Battalion, but also a formed artillery battalion, as well as a field anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

Chen Shen finally knew why the other party was able to fire so intensively when he was in Nuoha before, and there were more teams involved in the attack than he thought

Three battalion-sized teams marched into La Botha, deployed at the airport's private airport, about 4 kilometers from the Castle Peak Industrial Park, and took control of all external roads in the vicinity of La Botha.

The entire Qingshan Park was directly besieged in the middle, and in this case, it was completely impossible for Chen Shen to evacuate.

Standing on the tower of the park, Chen Shen watched as the artillery on the opposite side "slowly" completed the deployment, 155 truck guns, 105 mountain howitzers, and 120 mortars.

All kinds of equipment are neatly arranged, all aimed at the direction of Castle Peak Park.

Their original two light tanks had already been knocked out by Chen Shen, but now, a full four FV101s have appeared on the airport, and Chen Shen has been unable to distinguish the various types of armored vehicles for a while.

All the infantry had entered a combat state, and the reconnaissance company advanced and opened a direct route from the airfield to the Qingshan Park, and then, at a position only two hundred meters from the Qingshan Park, they established a forward departure position and set up a firing point.

This is a brazen provocation, but it is also really a prelude to an offensive.

In fact, the remote-controlled machine gun deployed by Chen Shen was less than 50 meters above their heads, and if they really planned to launch an attack desperately, it was really hard to say how many people in this reconnaissance company would survive after a round of 12.7 mm caliber bullets.

However, there is no point in knocking them out.

The real threat is still the artillery in the rear, the 4 tanks in full gear and a large number of armored vehicles with weapons!

Chen Shen breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Shi Dakai, who was also observing on the side:

"It's a real army of overwhelms."

"If we switch to other battlefields, at least we can still have an advantage in cover, but for now . Not to mention bunkers, there are not even many mines in the open pit. ”

"There's no way to hide, if you really fight, you can only find a way to break through from the south side."

"I can't run from the south side."

Shi Dakai shook his head, turned around and pointed into the distance and said:

"They have already arranged in advance for the interception of two armored vehicles and two companies, which numbered more than a hundred."

"If you look at the equipment in their hands, there are 6 heavy machine guns, and it feels like the weapons of other companies have also been transferred."

"We can't run away, but fortunately, the depth of the factory is very large, and if we let them in to fight guerrilla warfare, we may be able to support it for a while."

"But this can only be a stopgap measure, and the real way to solve the problem is not to fight, but to fight politically, what does the leader say?"

Hearing the word "leader", Chen Shen was subconsciously stunned.

Only then did he realize that Shi Dakai should be referring to Xiaoyu.

So he answered:

"It's being communicated, that's for sure."

"But to what extent the specific communication has been made and what plan has been proposed, I really have no right to know."

"Bashir still has the chips in his hand, and that's the key to such a poor communication."

"What Allah's holy sword, I'm afraid it's still an appetizer. Otherwise, the military would not have been able to go crazy to such an extent. ”

"It must have something to do with their specific coup plans, maybe it's a list of personnel?"

"Anyway, we can only wait - of course, we can also fight."

With that, Chen Shen turned and walked down the tower, and then gave the order over the radio.

"Everyone get ready for battle!"

"The other side doesn't necessarily really dare to do anything, they're just demonstrating."

"Don't be afraid of them!"

"If they really dare to do it, I think the real Dongfeng should arrive before us."

Meanwhile, inside La Bota Airport.

Viranto looked at the Qingshan Park in the distance with a solemn expression, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

He knew that he was still a step late after all.

If he could reach La Botha before the Dongfeng Corps returned, he would probably have rushed into the park with his team, controlled everyone, and then used these people as bargaining chips to force "certain forces" to hand over Bashir.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

When he arrived, not only had the Dongfeng Corps completed the deployment, not only had Bashir landed safely, but even the fucking 88 Task Force had already reversed!

The situation is quite serious, it seems that he is still in control, it seems that Sulawesi is still in his hands, but in fact, he knows better than anyone else that he has completely lost the initiative and is in a situation of isolation.

Now, he has been forced into a corner.

Shoot, you don't dare.

Firing a cannon is even more fantastical.

So for him, the only option he can choose is to take people over and force the armed personnel in the park to surrender with absolute power.

And if the other party wants to resist, in the face of absolute numerical superiority, they will not be able to make too many waves.

If the other party moves a gun.

Then you can't blame yourself.

Thinking of this, Viranto took a deep breath and called the adjutant who was waiting.

He was about to give the order to move forward, but at this moment, a group of "strange people" suddenly appeared on the road outside Aoyama Park.

The men were wearing uniforms, but they were not carrying any equipment.

They walked forward in a crowded manner, ignoring the shouts of the soldiers in the forward reconnaissance positions, without the slightest pause.

All the guns were already aimed at them, and the distance was getting closer.

Someone had already walked to the front of the position, facing the soldier with his gun.

The soldiers of the Assault Infantry Battalion kept shouting for them to stay away, but they remained unmoved.

They really seem to want to block the bullet with their bodies.

There was a nervous look on everyone's face-—— and it was impossible to remain calm in the face of death at such times, which is a scene that can only be seen in idealistic literature.

They are indeed afraid.

But this "fear" is not panic.

On the contrary, it was Viranto, who was observing from a distance, and after seeing this scene, his face showed obvious panic.
