If the time was rewind a few hours, Chen Shen would never have imagined that this large-scale combat operation against the Mengla army would eventually end with a hostage rescue mission.

The reason why things have developed to this point is actually the product of a combination of factors.

First of all, the Mengla Army was completely out of control, which led to the inability to achieve the operational objectives of the Dongfeng Corps.

Immediately afterwards, it was Ning Ming, who came out of nowhere, and directly forced Lin Mingxian into a corner with a massacre.

Finally, of course, there was the pressure that Kachin put on him, believing that as long as he could delay time, he would have a chance to regain control of the Mongla army and cooperate with the Kachin offensive to fight back against the Dongfeng Corps.

Of course, the current Chen Shen does not fully understand Lin Mingxian's motives, and the problem in front of him is that he will have to carry out a hostage rescue operation in Mengla, which is highly similar to the Beslan incident.

Moreover, the situation he faced was not comparable, or even more complicated, than that of Beslan.

The enemy's numbers are unknown, their location is unknown, their weapons are unknown, their own side does not have modern reconnaissance equipment, and they do not have a truly experienced combat team, so if they want to complete the rescue of the hostages, they can basically only rely on direct and violent attacks.

In this case, the predictable casualties must be extremely high, and even if all the private soldiers are successfully cleared in the end, the operation can never be considered a "success".

But Chen Shen had no choice, like Lin Mingxian, the Dongfeng Corps was also forced into a corner.

The confrontation between the two sides highlights a life-and-death situation, and it is necessary to quickly distinguish between the superior and the superior

At this time, the reconnaissance team of the Dongfeng Corps was ready, Chen Shen put on his equipment, pulled down the night vision device, and looked at the Guowen School not far away.

By this time, the riots in the school had subsided, and it was clear that Mongla's private soldiers had taken control of the situation.

From Chen Shen's perspective, it can be seen that on the roof of the teaching building, there are two guards with guns monitoring the movement of the periphery.

Chen Shen could easily arrange for snipers to take out the two men, but he knew that blind shooting before the official attack was launched would only escalate the situation in a more uncontrollable direction.

Therefore, he didn't make a move, but after marking the location of the guards on the map, he led the team to bypass the other party's line of sight and organize reconnaissance around the school.

After a circle, all the exposed sentinels were marked, and Chen Shen's expression became more solemn.

"Lin Mingxian is planning to go all the way to the dark, just like he said, he doesn't care about the casualties of private soldiers at all."

"His post has no regard for concealment and security at all, purely to get the maximum view."

"The whole area is under their watch, and if we get close, we're sure to be spotted."

"Even if it is a strong attack, even if it can kill all the private soldiers on the outposts at the same time, it will not change the basic restraining relationship between the two sides."

"He's really going to break the jar with us and get ready to attack."

"I'm going to make a call first and see what other people think."

"Shall we retreat first?"

Li Bang asked.

"Don't withdraw, surround them, and keep putting pressure."

"Understood."

The order was given, and all the reconnaissance groups of the Dongfeng Corps were withdrawn.

This reconnaissance cannot be said to have been in vain, but it has played an extremely limited role.

Chen Shen originally planned to launch a strong attack after finding out the opponent's defensive layout, but it was obvious that Lin Mingxian also made a complete arrangement immediately after choosing a strategy.

He did not hesitate at all, nor did he have the slightest luck, that is, he wanted to use the most resolute attitude to force the Dongfeng Corps to enter the negotiation process.

It's troublesome.

Negotiation and negotiation are different, if it was before the start of the fight, the two sides might still have a trace of peace talks, but now, even if the Dongfeng Corps promised to sell benefits, I am afraid that Lin Mingxian would no longer believe it.

Returning to the temporary headquarters, Chen Shen dialed Xiao Yu's phone.

And after the phone was connected, Xiao Yu didn't wait for Chen Shen to speak, and immediately preemptively said:

"I'm pretty much clear about the situation."

"Lin Mingxian is basically non-negotiable, and this hijacking incident must be dealt with quickly."

"I mean, fast processing at any cost!"

"So sure?"

Xiao Yu's attitude surprised Chen Shen, after all, in his opinion, taking into account the impact of all aspects, especially the "civilian casualties" that the Western media will inevitably make a big fussabout, Xiao Yu should be more inclined to the Huairou policy.

But now, she actually said the word "whatever the cost"?

What happened to Lin Mingxian, and what information did he not know?

Thinking of this, Chen Shen hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong? What are the actions of Kachin? What deal did Lin Mingxian make with them? ”

"The logic of his whole action is so strange that I even think he's brainless right now."

"He's not brainless, he's too brainy!"

Xiao Yu quickly interrupted Chen Shen's words, and then spoke:

"Didn't you watch the news?"

"Today, the UN Security Council held closed-door consultations, and the US side voted against the resolution on the no-fly zone over Syria!"

"Do you know what that means? They have put their Middle East strategy on hold and are determined to give priority to Southeast Asia! ”

"Near Kolkata in northern India and near Chittagong in Bangladesh, there are traces of intensive U.S. military activity, and a large amount of equipment is being transferred."

"That's why Lin Mingxian will be so resolute, Kachin will be so resolute!"

"It's too late for them to put their investment in Syria first in Southeast Asia!"

"We don't know how long it will take, but Kachin will soon launch an attack on other forces in Pubei, and the first one to bear the brunt is Kokang!"

Chen Shen was dumbfounded.

Against?!

The establishment of a no-fly zone over Syria is an important node in the official opening of the Syrian war, and Chen Shen remembers very clearly that in the last life, the United States was definitely the most active party in this resolution!

And now, they refuse to establish a no-fly zone, that means

They don't want the situation over there to move too fast, but they intend to stall for time!

No wonder.

No wonder Lin Mingxian would do so many seemingly crazy and brainless things, the reason is very simple, he really wants to keep his command of the Mengla Army at any cost!

Only with the command in hand, it is possible for him to get a piece of the pie in the follow-up big changes, and only when he is alive can he win the qualification to be on the table.

My previous analysis and prediction cannot be said to be wrong, but it can only be said that it has not yet touched the root of the problem

Chen Shen gasped, he suddenly realized that he had really begun to use the storm caused by flapping his wings to influence the decision-making of some behemoths like a butterfly taking off from Pubei.

That's right, it sounds pretty incredible.

But if you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

The Dongfeng Corps relied on force and an independent identity of "unfettered" to open up the situation in Pubei, defeated most of the warlords who did not obey discipline, and established a preliminary order here.

And it is precisely because of the establishment of order that the so-called "Belt and Road" plan has the soil for growth in advance.

Or else?

Does anyone really think that the failure of the Belt and Road Initiative to land in Bagan is an obstacle from the Bagan government?

At least on the surface, they were the first responders at the very beginning of this plan!

What really made this plan impossible to land was the warlords in Pubei.

If the development of the previous life is followed, it will not be until at least 2023, when a certain provincial department will start to reorganize the order of Pubei with the help of some reasons, that the first breakthrough progress of this plan will be made.

And now, the time is 2011.

In this case, it is not surprising that the US side reacted, if they were really indifferent, then the hell!

They may not want to establish a military presence here, and they certainly don't want to occupy the land and sit in the north and look north.

They just must not allow the "hills" here to be bulldozed, and they must not let the jungle blocked by access roads become plains.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen asked again:

"What's going on in Kachin? Are there any results of high-altitude reconnaissance of relevant parties? ”

His questions are very artistic, without naming names, but to the most critical issues.

In fact, it is absolutely impossible to say that the north, or the surrounding countries, have not reacted at all to this level of large-scale action.

But in many cases, there are some words that cannot be said directly.

And Xiao Yu also understood what he meant, so he didn't say it explicitly, but replied vaguely:

"The distance from Bangladesh to Kachin is short if it goes well. Time can be calculated in hours. ”

"But they must need time to prepare, right?"

"It's not going to be too long."

"Understood."

Chen Shen exhaled deeply, and then continued:

"Is it possible that we will give up Lin Mingxian's problem and not deal with it, and go directly to Kachin to fight a counterattack?"

"Impossible."

Xiao Yu's tone was very resolute.

"Now the whole Pubei has no concept of the development of the situation, this is your only chance."

"If the hole cards are opened, after everyone sees the situation clearly, it will be basically impossible for you to rein in the warlords of Pubei and then 'unite with the outside world'."

"Therefore, the problem of the Mengla army must be solved first."

"Don't worry too much, just do it."

"After that, leave someone to finish, you have to rush to Kokang first, control the alliance forces, and assist them in guarding the first line of defense!"

"Understood, I'll do it now."

Chen Shen replied without hesitation, and then hung up the phone.

At this moment, he really felt that the "clues" that he had subconsciously ignored in the early stage were gathered in one place.

The infighting in Thailand, the entropy reduction of the situation in Pubei, the chaos of the game in Indonesia, and the lurking of Meng and Kachin

So far, the covert struggle between the two "behind the scenes" has gradually surfaced, and the final showdown is about to be ushered in.

It is impossible for either side to end up in person at this time, but the "agents" of both sides are ready.

Chen Shen's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and he realized that his self-righteous "advantage" actually did not exist at all.

A few tanks, a few armored vehicles, a few planes can bulldoze Pubei?

If it were really that simple, the Bagan government army would not be able to take it?

The reason why the Dongfeng Corps fought so smoothly was nothing more than to determine the main line of "common interests"!

Now, this main line will also be put to the test.

Hold on, fight the past, everything will be fine, and the Eastern Corps will usher in unprecedented development opportunities.

If you can't make it, maybe it's time to go home.

Thinking of this, Chen Shen clenched the HK416 in his hand.

Ironically, he's going to fight the enemy's favorite gun

"Li Gang, get ready for battle."

"We want to launch an attack on the Guowen School, kill Lin Mingxian, and completely disintegrate the top-level command of the Mengla Army."

"All armored units are in position, and assault groups attack from 4 directions."

"Understood!"

Li Bang nodded immediately, and then turned around to make tactical arrangements.

Chen Shen continued to turn to He Bupa and said:

"Use the list of students at Guowen School to reach out to parents and families so that they can show up right away."

"Explain the situation to them, issue them bullets and body armor."

"This time, except for the assault group of the Dongfeng Corps, all other teams should not participate in the battle, let them save their own children!"

"Understood."

Hobupa replied immediately, but then said with some hesitation:

"Will this make it more difficult to fight, after all, those parents have not experienced professional training, we."

"Don't think about that, let them die."

Chen Shen said in a slightly cold tone.

He knew, of course, that interfering with the rescue mission would inevitably make the operation more difficult and the casualties higher, because that was one of the important lessons of the Beslan hostage incident.

However, there is also an even more important lesson from this incident, which is that the people who participated in it may criticize the incompetence and decision-making mistakes of the organizers of the operation in the future, but their empathy for the "kidnappers" will be completely erased.

No one will commit Stockholm syndrome again, if Lin Mingxian really dares to massacre hostages, then the Mengla army does not need to be received by the Dongfeng Corps, and it will be completely disintegrated from the inside.

Looking at Chen Shen's expression, He Bupa instantly understood his intentions, so he didn't ask more, but silently began to prepare.

An hour later, most of the "family members" were notified to be present, and more than 30 of them were willing to go to battle with guns.

He Bangxiong issued them with equipment and guns, and they were organized into five groups according to a group of six people, and they were under the command of the Dongfeng Corps.

Of course, Chen Shen didn't really intend to command them at all, all he needed these people to do was to shoot at the building from a distance.

Even the bullets allocated to them were only 15 rounds per person.

At 7 a.m., everything was ready.

The four snipers of the Dongfeng Corps have locked on their respective targets, and they will snipe from a high place to take out 8 enemies as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the assault team will use directional bombs to break down the fence and then break into the school and clear the four buildings from the bottom up.

During the process, the helicopter will hover over the school, but it will not launch any offensive and will only serve as a high-altitude reconnaissance platform.

The sun had risen, and Chen Shen put on his goggles.

"Countdown to 5 seconds, sniper ready."

"Operation 3, 2, 1!"

"Bang-"

Uniform gunfire rang out, and the enemy was instantly finished.

And this strong attack at any cost also kicked off immediately.
