Chapter 408: Bright Sword
On the other side, Peng Deren, who hung up Chen Shen's phone, did not hesitate, and immediately began to arrange the temporary camp that he had just commanded his militia to set up.
I have to say that in just ten days with Chen Shen, he has indeed learned a lot of things, not to mention anything else, just on the one hand of the camp layout, he has been "reborn".
Of course, not all of these things are taught by Chen Shen, in fact, Chen Shen's role is more like a "signpost".
He pointed in the right direction, and Peng Deren saw it, so he began to walk in this direction.
How long does it take to evolve from the boss of the Tubaozi militia at the beginning to a real commander who is willing to read, memorize, and learn modern tactics and techniques?
The answer is simple, a few months is enough.
Peng Deren really worked hard, and his hard work also saved his life.
It was precisely because he realized the lack of firepower and training of his troops that he focused on training the guerrilla ability of his own troops-—— and it was an extreme training, not considering the offensive first, but the strategic retreat.
He reacted immediately after the first wave of air strikes and ground armored forces in Kachin were launched.
Don't make any senseless resistance, just run!
The teams with heavy baggage, supplies, and equipment, which started slowly but with high speed, withdrew first, and the lightly armed infantry relied on the superiority of the skirmish line to block the enemy, not seeking to kill or inflict casualties, but only to gain a "speed" time for the logistics troops.
After the withdrawal of the logistics troops, the main forces of the blockade retreated first, leaving the most elite private soldiers behind.
What? You say that private soldiers dare not fight?
This involves a most critical situational judgment.
For Kokang, Kachin is fighting a "war of aggression"!
I'm a big soldier and my family are here, although I can't fight you hard, but I also know that I have to stand in front to have a chance to counterattack in the future!
Wartime political propaganda, this is the second trick Peng Deren learned from Chen Shen.
After such a combination of punches, the Allied forces were really thrilling and amazing in completing the evacuation when their equipment and personnel were at a great disadvantage.
A total of 4,000 people suffered no more than 200 casualties during the retreat, and only more than 500 escaped.
This number, placed in the civil land martial arts of Pubei, can be regarded as the top.
Therefore, Chen Shen's judgment of Peng Deren and the Allied Army is actually biased, he doesn't know that this Allied Army is slowly evolving, and he doesn't know that under his influence, some things have been like entering the ink pool in Qingxi, and slowly replacing some of the original filth
Does Peng Deren want to vote?
If he can't get out, he will definitely vote.
But it was because he withdrew that he was able to say the phrase "Kachin tactics are not very good."
And that's true.
Modern semi-motorized units with airplanes and modern units with assault rifles have only about 200 men left behind in a surprise attack, and if this disgusting record is put to the north, the commander will have to twitch it from top to bottom
There is no doubt that Peng Deren is confident, and even crazy.
Therefore, when his adjutant finally laid out a brief map and introduced the current deployment of troops on both sides, his face was not only not afraid, but full of spirit.
Judging from the summary of intelligence from all sides, the ground troops dispatched by Kachin this time are at least about 3,000 people, including lightly armored units, fixed-wing aircraft, and propellers - we have already seen all of this."
"At present, there is also information that the De'ang army has turned against the water, and we and the De'ang army were originally in the form of dog-tooth cooperation, but we are completely unprepared for Kachin's activities."
"This shows that even if they didn't join the enemy, at least they rode the wall to watch the show."
"We can no longer try to enlist their assistance, we must treat them as enemies."
"But this means that the total number of enemy troops we may have to face in the short term is at least 5,000 or more."
"The situation is critical, and I propose to continue the retreat to the southeast as soon as possible and seek refuge in the Wa State."
"Anyway, we're already on the ship, so we might as well do it thoroughly."
"Even if we have to get on the ship, we can't continue to evacuate!"
Peng Deren waved his hand decisively, and then continued:
"Kachin is now in a state of great strength, and the situation with foreign propaganda is very good."
"Sister Mu is theirs, Laojie is theirs, Qingshui River is our last important town, if Qingshui River is also lost, it means that Kokang is all lost."
"They will definitely make a big fuss about this, under a round of publicity, I'm afraid that we haven't been defeated yet, and the rear will be chaotic, and we don't have to fight anymore!"
"So, my suggestion is to stick to the Qingshui River."
"Relying on the riverbank as cover, we can build a strong line of attack and make the most of our flexibility."
"We still have 3,000 people in our hands, and we can hold at least 3 kilometers of river shoreline."
"If the key river crossing points are the key points of contention, this length can even be stretched to 10 kilometers."
"Don't they have armored vehicles and tanks? Blow up all the bridges for me, I'll see how they get over! ”
"Huh?"
The adjutant looked at Peng Deren stunned and asked:
"If we blow up the bridge, we won't be able to cross it?"
"What else have we had? Beaten in the past? ”
Peng Deren smiled and replied:
"Do you think Kachin's attack this time is still the kind of petty fight we used to have with the four major families? They are going to 'unify Pubei and fight Bagan'! ”
"They must do whatever it takes, in this case, don't feel distressed."
"If they are broken, we will repair them later, as long as we can block the Kachin, do you think we will have to repair these bridges ourselves?"
"Notify me to blow up the bridge immediately, leaving only one small mountain bridge within 30 kilometers as our follow-up traffic intersection."
"Execute quickly, without delay!"
"Understood."
The adjutant nodded with difficulty, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked:
"In this case, will those ordinary people in Lao Cai think that we give them away. Left behind? ”
"What do you care about them? Our supply lines have been cut off, the depth has been lost, at this time, we don't care about the people's will or not, first preserve our strength, and then find a way to defeat the enemy! ”
"Can you really fight?"
The adjutant was still somewhat skeptical.
——
He is actually half a political commissar, and he always looks confident in front of other ordinary soldiers, and only in front of Peng Deren can he ask a word or two of sincerity.
"Can you really fight?"
"No one can understand this question, even if that person is alive."
"However, there is a famous military commander named Li Yunlong, and he said a word."
"He said, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't beat it, what if you can't fight, Bright Sword."
"When you meet the enemy, you must show your sword, you may not win if you fight, and you will lose if you don't fight!"
Speaking of this, Peng Deren's eyes also became firm.
Instead of looking at the adjutant's still hesitant eyes, he raised his head and looked in the northwest direction.
Under the dark night, you can faintly see the lights from Lao Cai more than 20 kilometers away, because the Allied troops withdrew quickly enough, and the order that was finally restored there was not much affected.
Compared with the solemn atmosphere of the Qingshui River soldiers in the city, the old street, which has been reduced to an "enemy-occupied area", seems to be singing and dancing.
Peng Deren sighed with emotion, and then said:
"Don't think I'm ridiculous about the bright sword, a lot of things are only known by fighting."
"Look over there, the lights of the old street."
"Don't forget, Lao Cai, it was 20 people who called back!"
"It's just a Kachin, do you really think they can touch the big Buddha behind the Dongfeng Corps?"
At the same time, Chen Shen had handed over Mengla's mess to He Bupa, and he himself returned to the entire Mengka team.
Although the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces under the leadership of the Dongfeng Corps is amazing, there are indeed many flaws in some tactical handling.
As a front-line commander who participated in person, Chen Shen completely recorded these flaws in his mind, and planned to quickly sort them out and send them to the following groups to sort out and study.
However, this matter is not in a hurry, and what he needs to solve more urgently at present is the problem of equipment.
This operation in Mengla was a thorough "battle of prosperity," because it was mixed with the purpose of military training, and the consumption of basic ammunition and equipment was not restricted.
Of course, this is also due to the logistics and freight composite system established by Dongfeng Group under Chen Shen's fine means, so far, as long as it is not some "special equipment", the ammunition supply of the Dongfeng Corps is still completely abundant.
Especially after opening up the supply of goods in Africa, heavy artillery shells have also become relatively cheap, and the current Dongfeng Corps basically has enough bullet tubes, artillery shell tubes, and rocket tubes.
However, in terms of more advanced destructive equipment, the Dongfeng Corps still faces a significant gap.
There were no missiles, no high-performance anti-aircraft guns, no high-penetration shells, and even large-caliber anti-tank rockets were scarce.
At the same time, the enemy of the Dongfeng Corps firmly grasped these loopholes of the Dongfeng Corps, and even made targeted arrangements for "attribute restraint".
This made Chen Shen feel the importance of intelligence again, and also made him more eager to build Jianghe's "Tonglian Telecommunications" as soon as possible.
——
But like his tactical summary, this is also a matter that has to be postponed, sitting in the conference room of the Dongfeng Corps, he only discusses one thing.
Equipment, or equipment.
Looking at the people attending the meeting in the combat command room, Chen Shen opened his mouth and said:
"I've basically explained the current situation, and the problem is very clear."
"What we urgently need to solve now is the question of where the advanced equipment will come from and how to give full play to its combat effectiveness."
"At this point, my thinking is very clear, that is, to concentrate all the advanced weapons in all aspects and concentrate them in one place of the Dongfeng Corps, forming an iron fist that can only be beaten out to block the enemy's offensive."
"There's no doubt about this strategy, and if you don't agree with it, you can leave the discussion now."
After speaking, he swept around the venue to make sure that no one refuted before he continued:
"Okay, now that everyone agrees with my plan, let's go straight to the next step."
"In the vernacular, if you have anything at the bottom of the box, take it out and don't hide it."
"If you don't fight these things out in this battle, you won't have a chance to fight again in the future."
Hearing his words, He Bangxiong, who had always been the most active, immediately raised his hand and replied:
"My armored vehicles must all be handed over and under the unified command of Brother Chen."
Chen Shen nodded with satisfaction, and before he could open his mouth to praise, He Bangxiong continued:
"In addition to armored vehicles, it would be better for our artillery to be concentrated and establish a unified command relationship."
"Brother Chen's level of artillery is obvious to everyone, so there is no need to say more."
"In addition, I still have 8 sets of needle-1 missiles here, which were turned out of Zhao Jialiang's warehouse, I don't know if they are useful, but it is better than nothing."
"Also, I have 20 rounds of PF89 - that is, 80 fire, and 6 sets of RPG-29, all of which have just arrived."
"It's a pity, the RPG-29 is relatively small now, I wanted to get more, but I can't get it yet."
Hearing his words, Chen Shen nodded again.
He Bangxiong really "dug into his pocket" this time, 20 rounds of 80 fires and 6 sets of PRG-29 don't sound like much, but in this place in Pubei, it is definitely a quite prescient purchase.
So, Chen Shen opened his mouth and said:
"Anti-tank bazookas are basically useful, but the Needle-1 is too reluctant to hit the fixed-wing, and it's better than nothing."
"Miss Bao, do you have a suitable anti-aircraft weapon over there?"
Bao Xiaomei, who was sitting next to He Bangxiong, shook her head helplessly, revealing a ashamed smile.
"There are no anti-aircraft weapons, I have confirmed before coming, there are quite a few RPG-7 and 40 fires, and they can add up to more than 200 rounds."
"Others are larger caliber and more lethal. Not really. ”
"Your 20,000 Wa State troops can make up more than 200 bazookas?!"
Chen Shen was dumbfounded, and for a moment, he even suspected that Bao Xiaomei was deliberately hiding her strength and deliberately deceiving him.
However, when he thought about it, he felt that it was quite reasonable.
The Wa State's armament procurement highlights a great achievement: one moment it buys helicopters, one moment it buys armored vehicles, one moment it reloads 97 rifles, and the other time it uses sniper grenades.
But the problem is that these things are either scarce in number or have a low usage rate, and it is really better to change to two human tubes when it comes to real fighting.
No way, the leader likes to watch it.
During the parade, looking at helicopter armored vehicles and looking at monkeys with bazookas in their hands still feels different
Looking at Bao Xiaomei's shaking of her head, Chen Shen sighed helplessly, and then asked:
"And what do you have?"
"There are two Mi-171s in helicopters, but only one can actually be driven."
"There are also two small helicopters, which are converted from civilian models."
It's useless at all, it's the target of the opponent's fixed-wing aircraft when it goes up. And what about armored vehicles? ”
"Armored vehicles are something of the 468 brigade, to defend Bang Kang, you know"
"Forget it, I can't count on you, and I can fill in the line in the future."
Chen Shen interrupted Bao Xiaomei with a wave of his hand, and then turned to the jackal who had never opened his mouth and had been sitting in the corner.
The latter saw his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.
Then, the jackal coughed and took the initiative to speak:
"I have what you want."
"What's there?"
"2 sets of BGM-71E model Dow, 2 sets of Javelins, 4 stingers."
"Are you sure??"
Chen Shen was dumbfounded.
The jackal nodded calmly and replied:
"The stuff is in the warehouse, and it's been less than a month since it arrived."
"You know, I've been preparing for these things for more than a year."
"From the time I shot that javelin above Chen Yimin's head, I expected that there would be such a day."
"Now, it's finally being used."
Chen Shen was about to burst into tears.
the groove.
It's got to be you.
Where are you a jackal, you are obviously your mother!
