"When the thing arrives, the Qingshui River can basically be defended."

"The next thing you have to do is very simple, just send the rockets to the people who know how to use them, deploy them to the front line, and then bomb the boats crossing the river without restrictions."

"It's impossible for them to get too many ships in a short period of time, and as long as they inflict enough damage on them, they will retreat themselves."

"As for individual anti-aircraft missiles . Li Bang, you will distribute. ”

"Understood."

In the command post, which had already changed positions three times, Chen Shen quickly carried out the next step of operational deployment.

It has to be said that after a large number of rockets were in place, the defensive pressure of the Allied forces was indeed reduced a lot.

However, because of the sharp reduction in the number of available troops, the contrast between the strength and weakness of the Kachin and the Allied forces has not changed much, and it is of course irresponsible to talk about "sure victory" at such a time.

Therefore, Chen Shen did not arrange the plan too aggressively, but steadily and steadily, intending to completely crush the Kachin army's plan to cross the river, block them north of the Qingshui River, and let their blitzkrieg tactics come to naught.

Peng Deren had no objection to his arrangement.

Because he knows very well that not to mention whether his physical condition can support the next command, even if he can, with his ability, it is impossible to lead the team to victory in this defensive battle.

Only by putting people into Chen Shen's hands can the Allied Army have a glimmer of life.

——

When they are allowed, they can also choose to retreat altogether, or even throw themselves into the arms of Kachin.

But Peng Deren is impossible to be willing, after all, a bigger future is already in front of him, who would be willing to continue to be a dog that eats if he has the opportunity to be a wolf who eats meat?

After completing the transfer of all commands, Peng Deren left the command room in a dashing manner and simply returned to the marching tent to recuperate from his wounds.

He didn't communicate much with Chen Shen, but after he left, Li Bang came to Chen Shen's side, frowned and said:

"It's still hard to fight."

"This batch of equipment can be said to be a send-off in the snow, but let's get too much snow now."

"According to the current reconnaissance results, Kachin still has at least 3,000 troops on the Qingshui River line, and relying on the logistics supply lines that have been established, there will be a steady stream of soldiers and equipment sent over."

"The allies can't bear it anymore, the house has been lost, and the next round of attack will inevitably be a decisive attack."

"We have no possibility of stopping Kachin, this is an objective law that cannot be broken."

"Maybe we can hold them off for three or five more days, but that doesn't make much sense."

"Three days is enough."

Chen Shen waved his hand and said to Li Bang:

"The victory or defeat of Qingshuihe is not the victory or defeat of the war itself, but the victory or defeat of the 'expected'."

"The reason why we want to stick to this point is to let other warlords in Pubei know that even with the assistance of the United States, Kachin is not invincible."

"We can't win the Kachin with us, the 7th Brigade, the 756th Brigade, and the Allied Army."

"We need the Wa State to enter the game, and we need all other forces to enter the game."

"And the other forces, including the Wa State, have a very obvious characteristic, and that is, whoever wins, they help whom."

"The same is true of the Wa State?"

Li Bang asked with a frown.

"Of course, why do you think they're dragging their feet?"

Now, Bao Xiaomei and Bao Youxiang don't know what kind of quarrel has become. From the point of view, Bao Xiaomei is better than Bao Youxiang, but the Wa State's family background is beaten down by Bao Youxiang, and he is more inclined to keep it, which is not difficult to understand, right? ”

"I thought the Wa State was already our ally."

"How could it be? Wa Bang is not Bao Xiaomei's, let alone Bao Youxiang's, beside him, there is also Bao Youliang, under Bao Youliang, there is Bao Junfeng, and Bao Junlong."

"These political games and struggles are too complicated, and we don't have to think about them so much."

"What we have to do is to find a way to hold the Qingshui River and win the next battle."

"And to do that, we have to meet three goals."

"First, block the other party's path to cross the river. This can be achieved with rockets. ”

"Second, reduce the deterrence of the opponent's armored forces. This, we can achieve with a large number of anti-tank missiles, and these anti-tank missiles will soon arrive. ”

"Only the third point is the most difficult, we must wipe out the air power of the other side and completely kill their planes."

"Can't avant-garde missiles do it?"

Li Bang asked again.

"I can't do it."

"MANPADS pose a great threat to helicopters, but very little to fixed-wing aircraft, especially modified high-speed propeller aircraft."

"This is due to the inherent characteristics of the missile, and we have nothing to do to make up for its shortcomings.

"Now they've changed their style of play, they've been very cautious with their low-altitude attack tactics, and it's almost impossible for us to get a chance again."

"The only role of anti-aircraft missiles is probably to restrict their movement and prevent them from fighting so unscrupulously."

"To destroy these planes. Either shoot them down in an air battle, or, you have to blow them up on the ground. ”

"You mean, a sneak attack on the airport?"

"That's right."

Chen Shen nodded solemnly, and then replied:

"It's the best tactic we can choose."

"Infiltrate the rear, find the airfield where they landed, and solve the problem once and for all."

"But first we have to find it, and second, we have to be able to get in."

Li Gang's brows have been wrinkled, after all, he is no longer the recruit who just picked up the gun and followed Chen Shen to charge into the bandit camp, after fighting one battle after another, his understanding of war and tactics has already gone to a higher level, and it is precisely because of this that he understands how fantastical the plan Chen Shen said.

Locating an airfield behind enemy lines has never been a simple matter, and even in modern times, even with high-resolution satellites and advanced radars, it is even more difficult to find an airfield, not to mention that with our current technical conditions, even tracking the course of an aircraft is a big problem.

Looking for an airport? Where do you look? Is it driving a car on the ground and chasing a plane?

Or rather, take the information directly from the north?

It's a good idea, but even so, it's not easy to knock out the airport.

After all, the combat radius of the P51 covers the entire territory of Pubei, and if they set up the airfield further north of Myitkyina, and the Dongfeng Corps wants to fight it, it will really go deep behind enemy lines.

Looking at Li Bang's expression, Chen Shen opened his mouth and said:

"It's not hard to find the airport."

"Someone will give us the approximate location of the disappearance of the aircraft's radar signal."

"Actually, I've already got this position, just around Mogang."

"The difficult thing is how to reach Mogang and how to destroy it with sufficient firepower."

"Time is already running out, and we have to strike while all the planes are at the airport, and we can't leave anything behind."

"I've called a helicopter, and in two hours, we'll fly to Mogang."

"Qingshuihe will be handed over to you, and when I come back, it will be when our counteroffensive begins."

"Understood!"

Li Bang nodded solemnly, and then turned around and walked to the command room that already belonged to him

At the same time, in the Kachin command post, Valens was completely out of control, but Kachen's commander Kashaw was overjoyed.

Looking at Valence, who was throwing a tantrum in the command room, slapping the table and swearing, he always maintained the calmness that a commander should have, until Valence finally calmed down, and finally spoke:

"Mr. Valens, I don't think there's any need for you to be so angry."

"We didn't lose the battle – not a big win, of course, but definitely a 'slightly twisted victory'."

"We have taken the Huri position, established a crossing point here, and in the next attack, we can easily send our soldiers to the south bank of the Qingshui River, and then attack the Confederates from the flank."

"In fact, this situation is the end of the story."

"There's no way they're going to hold on anyway."

"In two days, or at most three days, we will be able to take the Qingshui River and completely open up the passage for a large army to attack Shan and Wa."

"Even without heavy equipment and aircraft, we can fight the next battle."

"You know, our casualties are less than 400, and the casualties and attrition of the other side are said to have reached more than 3,000."

"Now they only have a few hundred people left in their hands at most, and to defeat them is just a matter of charging"

"Isn't that satisfying, Mr. Valens?"

Satisfied?!

Hearing Cashaw's words, the anger that Valence had just calmed down instantly surged back into his heart, and at this moment, he really had the urge to chop Cashaw alive.

Why do you call this victory?

In the case of equipment, the number of people is completely crushed, and even there is air supremacy, you have not taken the opponent's position in two consecutive attacks, and your side has not only lost hundreds of people, but also lost several pieces of key equipment, this situation can actually be called a victory?!

It's just the Confederates on the other side, and at the beginning of the battle, they didn't even have many heavy weapons!

If you fight an allied army like this, if you follow up against the main force of the coalition army and the Wa state army, what will you do?

Valence had ten thousand words of greeting to Cashaw's mother that he wanted to say, but in the end, a thousand words came together into one sentence:

"If we can't take Qingshuihe in the next attack, we will ask for a change of command."

Hearing his words, Cashaw shrugged his shoulders in an extremely Westernized manner and replied:

"If the next attack can't take the Qingshui River. Then we may have to think carefully about whose question it is. ”

"What do you mean?"

Valence's eyes instantly sharpened, and Cashaw waved his hand and said:

"I don't mean anything, I just want to say that if the North intervenes, we can't win anyway."

"You should at least be prepared for this"

"Rest assured, there's no way they can meddle."

Valence shook his hand and left, scolding Kashaw countless times in his heart.

But after regaining his composure, he had to move on to the more difficult business at hand.

DEVGRU HAS RETURNED, AND THEY ARE NOW WAITING AT THEIR QUARTERS.

From their mouths, Valence had learned of the major blow they had suffered in the jungle.

This is undoubtedly a tragedy-—— not just because of the attrition of the SEAL Six team, but more importantly. The first close cooperation between the CIA and the military in Asia has led to such a result

Pushing open the door, the five heavily armed SEALs in the living room all stood up.

Valence looked at them for a long time before he finally asked:

"What the hell is going on?"

Hearing his words, a man who looked like a captain spoke:

"The other party is not an ordinary mercenary group-—— and it is even more professional than the information we got before."

"They ruled out the false target, went straight to our heads, and then took out one of our patrolmen before we found out."

"After that, they directed artillery fire to strike at the artillery reconnaissance positions, and our artillery reconnaissance radar was destroyed."

"We wanted to keep them all, and we almost did."

"But they fought back very resolutely and very quickly."

"They have a keen sense of perception, a high level of accuracy, a very adventurous spirit, and although there are some flaws in their coordination, they use their firepower to smooth out those flaws."

"In short, we have lost a lot."

"We lost five brothers whose bodies have been reduced to ashes in the fire."

"Got it."

Valence nodded heavily, and then continued to ask:

"Why is it playing like this? It stands to reason that you should have no opponents in the jungle. ”

"We thought so at first, but they were weird."

The captain's brow furrowed tightly, and after a moment's thought, he continued:

"We've examined their bodies, and they're using the latest thermal fusion night vision devices, it's our stuff, and there's nothing strange about that."

"But oddly enough. They know our tactics very well. ”

"I mean, they found out about our intentions right away, and they didn't even give us a chance to adjust our tactics, but quickly created chaos and forced us to go to war on the same level as them."

"I suspect that some of them may have been in close contact with us."

"They know everything about us – they're like our natural enemies."

"I have to know where they came from, and I have to know why they are doing this."

"Find a way to find a clue, and"

"Maybe we don't need more leads."

Valence interrupted him by shaking his head, and then said:

"If that's your doubt, then I think I can give you the answer right now."

"What's the answer?"

The captain asked impatiently.

"It's simple."

"You were meant to be. Blues. ”

"I guess that today's battle, this battle that took place under the condition of comprehensive inferiority in equipment and intelligence, may have happened countless times for them, on the exercise ground."
