Chapter 409: Little Warthog
In fact, according to Jackal, the hoarding of this batch of equipment went through dozens of applications and dozens of approvals before it was finally sent to Mengka, even if it was to be used, it had to go through a strict process and harsh post-assessment.
But it doesn't matter, as long as something arrives, the jackal always has a way to use it.
And the stricter and more difficult it is, the more it reflects the hard-won things and the sincerity of the jackal to Chen Shen.
After emptying everyone's homes, Chen Shen couldn't wait to find the jackal and asked:
"How did you come up with the idea to stock up on anti-tank equipment? How do you know if these things are going to work? ”
The jackal smiled mysteriously, then replied:
"Actually, to put it bluntly, these things were meant to be used against you."
"Against us?"
"That's right."
The jackal nodded, and went on to explain:
"In fact, a long time ago, I saw that it was absolutely impossible for you to be satisfied with an ordinary 'tactical team', and you would eventually have to develop in a more advanced, more 'heavy', and more mechanized direction."
"Not only can I see it, but everyone else can see it too."
"It's just that for various reasons, the restraint against you cannot be put in place at one time."
"This batch of things was really approved after you started to purchase armored units on a large scale."
"Do you know how difficult it is to get this stuff over? The most nonsense point is that after the equipment was approved, we received the order of our training base, and the relationship between us changed all of a sudden. ”
"This change in wind direction has caused me unexpected trouble, and some people have used it as an excuse to block the shipment of this batch of equipment."
"I had to spend a lot of money to get the joints open. Now you know why that ISPC training ground appeared, right? ”
Chen Shen nodded deeply and replied sincerely:
"Thank you. But why not say it in the first place? If these additional customer relationship fees are required, we can negotiate them directly. ”
We are friends in business, but we can't be sloppy in business."
The jackal looked solemn and continued:
"Maintaining such borders is better for our long-term cooperation, isn't it?"
"Indeed."
Chen Shen didn't ask any more, but asked instead:
"How do you use the equipment? Do you need your people to get involved? ”
This question is actually very acute, because Chen Shen is ostensibly asking "how to use the equipment", but in fact, what he really wants to ask is whether Chesri's forces in Pubei can participate in the war.
If the jackal gives an affirmative answer, the Dongfeng Corps is equivalent to receiving strong reinforcements, and its combat effectiveness can be increased by at least 30%.
But. Whether he dares to give it or not, whether Chen Shen dares to ask for it or not is another question.
Nothing else, political sensitivities are there.
And after hearing Chen Shen's words, the jackal also understood, he shook his head, and replied:
"We don't need to go to war, you can use the things, and I will help you with the formalities."
"Then, if you go out to fight, I will guard you at home."
"We will designate the whole territory of Mengka as a safe zone, and if any foreign forces enter, we will all know you."
"Good comrade."
Chen Shen couldn't help but speak:
"I'll leave it to you."
"I'm going to leave tomorrow at the latest, and Peng Deren is afraid that he won't be able to withstand it for too long."
"The main thing you have to guard against is the attack of small groups of special forces, especially against civilians and families."
"You should still be good at this."
"Of course, if you can't stay out of it, don't tear your skin."
"I understand."
The jackal nodded solemnly, and then asked:
"Can you tell me the truth, tell me the truth, how sure are you of the war with Kachin this time?"
"Then it depends on what you say."
Old God Chen Shen smiled on the ground and continued:
"If you're talking about bulldozing Kachin and Pubei together, then I can only tell you that there is no one."
"If you say that the enemy is outside, a decisive battle completely subdues Kachin and cuts off the outstretched hand, then I am 30% sure."
"If you talk about sweeping away Wen Beng, inflicting heavy damage on the CIA, and beating Kachin as the head bird by the way, it is sixty percent."
"If it's just to block their offense and continue to maintain the balance of power, that's 100% sure."
"So tall?!"
Jackal's eyes widened in shock, and he subconsciously said:
"But now almost everyone is not optimistic about you, to be honest, the coalition forces have not received specific information, but from the information I have, the situation is indeed very unfavorable for you."
"Their suppression of your equipment will be consistent throughout, even if you are from your mother's house. They are too conservative to do things, and they can't do it at any cost. ”
Hearing the jackal's words, Chen Shen nodded in agreement, but then, he spoke again:
"Equipment is important, but it doesn't have to be decisive."
"The most important thing for us to realize is that Kachin is fighting a 'war of aggression,' and a 'war of aggression' must go hand in hand with a war of law and order."
"They can't afford to delay for long, so they can only rely on blitzkrieg to quickly eliminate all the warlord forces, and then negotiate to gain benefits."
"They really learned. We—no, how did the north fight back then, they were ready to copy it. ”
"But they are mistaken, we are not the monkeys of Vietnam, let alone the Ah San of India."
"If you want to play blitzkrieg with us for two days with a few planes and a few tanks, I'll let them know what an insulator is."
"Relying on the Confederates?"
The jackal frowned and continued to ask:
"I thought you would let the Allied forces withdraw and save their forces one after another, and then organize a decisive battle after the preparations for the Wa State were completed."
"Can't wait that long, the Confederates are now a flag on the front line and can't fall."
"Moreover, they have now retreated to the area of the Qingshui River, which is the best place to defend."
"We can't let the Kachin side find a problem to bypass the Qingshui River and bypass Banglong, we just want to use the allies as bait to make them think that the Qingshui River can be eaten, and then hit them hard there!"
"Understood."
After a moment's thought, the jackal said:
"The battle for the river crossing is going to be very fierce, you need more anti-materiel weapons, but the heavy weapons can't be transported in a short time, and the helicopter is too crushed to take off, what are you going to do?"
"Adapt measures to local conditions, set fire if you have oil, put on fishing nets if you don't have oil, and by the way, use all the RPGs in Wa State, and this battle will be empty!"
"That's up to you."
The jackal nodded expectantly, then said:
"This battle must be another classic example, I have already handed over the class fee to you in advance, and when you come back, don't ask me for money again."
"Of course."
Chen Shen and the jackal looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Two hours later, in the area of the Qingshui River.
Peng Deren stood on the bank of the Qingshui River, or the Nanting River, looking at the movements of his men in the distance with a slightly nervous expression.
With a loud blast, the last bridge scheduled to be blown up was destroyed, and now, within 20 kilometers, only the small mountain bridge, a load-bearing bridge for heavy vehicles, remained.
Things have developed to this point, and the adjutant on the side has also begun to be a little dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and while sorting out the information at hand, he reported to Peng Deren:
"Sir, according to your instructions, all the preparatory measures have basically been completed."
"We have carried out emergency military control in the surrounding area, collected all the gasoline that can be found in a short period of time, and has been transported to the nearby jungle to conceal it, and at the same time, it has also covered up anti-infrared camouflage."
"Judging from our own ground tests, it is difficult to find ordinary infrared equipment, and safety is guaranteed."
"In addition, all key river crossing points have been blocked, civilian boats have been requisitioned and stranded in some areas, and a small number of explosive boats and fire boats have also been arranged."
"But there aren't many of these things, and at most they can only block the first round of offensive."
"If you want to block them from crossing the river, the most important thing is the heavy fire commander, when will the Dongfeng Corps arrive?"
"Within 15 hours."
Peng Deren replied immediately.
The intelligence between him and Chen Shen has been realized, and both sides now know what each other is doing, and this series of arrangements carried out by Peng Deren is actually from Chen Shen's hands.
"Is the gas station near the hill bridge emptied? It must be an important target for the opposing air units, and we must minimize losses as much as possible. ”
"It's emptied, and the oil in the depot is drained."
"That's good. If there are no other problems, just take the team back. ”
"According to the predetermined combat formation, each of them is in position and ready for battle."
"The Kachin army has advanced to the area around Manda, and they have been delayed for a little time in Lao Cai, but now they have entered a high-speed maneuver."
"There are still two hours at most, and they will be able to reach the Qingshui River, and at that time, it will be our most critical intelligence reconnaissance window."
"Send my guard platoon out, let them hide on the north bank of the Qingshui River, organize fire reconnaissance, and find out the situation of the enemy forces."
"At the same time, we will build a wide range of relationships with local civilians to see if there are any family members and acquaintances, and turn them into our scouts."
"We have to figure out the direction of the opponent's attack before they launch a general attack, otherwise it will be difficult for us to hold as long as one team crosses the river."
"Understood."
The adjutant nodded again, and then said with a slight hesitation:
"There's a high probability that they'll choose to fight at night? In terms of equipment, they are more suitable for night fighting. ”
"Perhaps, we still have time?"
"It can't be, the advantages that the night battle brings to them can only be regarded as icing on the cake compared to the advantages they already have, what they want to fight is a blitzkrieg, there is no need to take this risk at all."
"I reckon their offensive will start soon, and we have to."
Peng Deren's words came to an abrupt end before he could finish speaking, and at this moment, a strange "buzzing" sound suddenly appeared in the sky above the Qingshui River.
It's like a giant mosquito flying in the air.
Peng Deren can't say that he is familiar with this sound, but indeed, he can't forget it in a short time.
Wild horse!
The plane is coming!
"Hidden! Everyone's in the jungle and hidden! ”
"Don't reveal your location! Don't try to fight back! ”
"The other party's purpose is reconnaissance! Don't expose deployment information! ”
Peng Deren shouted loudly, and the adjutant on the side pulled him violently, pulling him back to the headquarters hidden in the house.
In just 20 seconds, when Peng Deren had just stepped through the door and began to observe through the window, the humming sound had already reached their heads.
He took a deep breath and continued to give covert instructions to the teams through the radio, and the sound of replies kept coming from the headphones, but just when Peng Deren thought that this "reconnaissance" would end calmly, a series of explosions suddenly came from the sky.
"Tutu Tu—"
Both wing machine guns on the P51 opened fire at the same time, and a series of wails were immediately heard on the radio.
The position is exposed!
Peng Deren's heart tightened, he could clearly hear that the hovering fighter was lowering altitude, at this moment, he wanted to rush out, set up his only two anti-aircraft guns, and shoot at this bravado fighter to shoot it down.
But Peng Deren knew that the consequences of doing so were absolutely unbearable for him.
"Hidden! Take cover! Never fight back! ”
Peng Deren shouted over the radio.
Exposure is not terrible, from a high-altitude perspective, many things are clear at a glance, and your team of 3,000 people cannot be without any flaws.
There will always be positions that will be discovered and attacked.
At such a time, you can only choose to abandon these positions and preserve the entire deployment.
If a group counterattack is really launched at such a time and the position of other positions is exposed, then the purpose of the opponent's fire reconnaissance will be completely achieved.
——
However, Peng Deren knew this, but his subordinates did not.
At least two positions did not listen to the command, and instinctively raised their guns to shoot at the fighters who were "close at hand", thinking that they would be able to knock down the planes with light machine guns, as in some movies.
But what greeted them was the more ferocious counterattack of the wild horse.
"Don't fight anymore! Hide everyone! ”
Peng Deren was hoarse, and his orders finally worked.
Five minutes later, the wild horse, which had not found any other information, turned around and left, and after confirming that it was safe, Peng Deren couldn't wait to run to the vicinity of the battered position to check the situation.
He knew it was risky, but he had to do it to stabilize the morale of the army.
He was greeted by a scene of severed limbs, at least 10 people were hit by large-caliber machine guns, and their bodies were almost blown to pieces.
——
Not a machine gun.
It's a cannon.
It's really the same as what Chen Shen said to himself on the phone just now, the other party is really using a version of the Mustang with a cannon
The NA-91 configuration, with four 20mm Sispano cannons, is almost equivalent to a small Warthog.
The bloody qi continued to drill into Peng Deren's brain, and at this moment, he really felt the despair of being "suppressed".
What to do?
The tanks can't even be driven!
As long as you dare to come, you will inevitably be opened by these little warthogs!
Without tanks, how can you hold this river by relying on yourself and the light weapons of the Dongfeng Corps!?
