Chapter 429: A Different Solution

It was impossible for Chen Shen to hide information about Captius from Xiao Yu, because the game represented by this person was obviously beyond the scope of Chen Shen's decision-making.

Therefore, after confirming the identity of the other party, he called Xiaoyu as soon as possible.

He didn't make any guesses, any suggestions, just the name.

Because he believes that with Xiaoyu's intelligence ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find out this person's information.

And Xiaoyu did not disappoint him.

It only took a few minutes for him to receive a reply from Xiaoyu.

"The helicopter arrives in 5 minutes!"

"Another helicopter has already flown to a residential area, just waiting for you!"

"Chen Shen, don't let go of the person in your hand, they have air defense capabilities, let him go, we can't leave!"

"Reinforcements from Myitkyina are coming, 40 kilometers, they can be there in 20 minutes!"

"Anyway, take him! Bring him back to Monka, and I'll take all the pressure off of you! ”

Xiao Yu's eager but calm voice came from the phone, Chen Shen took a deep breath, nodded and replied:

"I understand."

In fact, he knew that Xiaoyu's judgment was correct – but not entirely correct.

The transaction between the two sides is based on the value of Captius, and Captius's life is also the only bargaining chip in Chen Shen's hand.

Although now, the seaplanes and helicopters of the Dongfeng Corps have flown over Mogang, this does not mean that the Dongfeng Corps has already occupied an absolute advantage.

Because air superiority must be coordinated with ground forces in order to truly form superiority, otherwise, relying on those heavy machine guns, a few rockets, and a few aerial bombs on the plane, even if you can fight again, how many casualties can you cause?

In the absence of precision-guided weapons, once Captius is out of the control of the Dongfeng Corps, it will be even more difficult to kill him directly, let alone establish a stable deterrent.

As for remote-controlled bombs and the like?

Do you dare to bet that the other party has no means of electromagnetic interference?

They can even transport the most advanced counter-battery integrated mast to Pubei!

Therefore, Captius had to go with the Dongfeng Corps.

But the question is, how could he possibly agree to such a condition?

Chen Shen looked at Captius on the side, and after noticing his expression, Captius's face showed a smile of "treacherous tricks succeeded".

"Now you understand? This is inherently a paradox. ”

"You can hold me hostage, but in fact, I have also held you hostage."

"You know I'm not going to go with you, because that's no different to me than dying here."

"But if I die, you will die too."

"Your only choice is to stay with me."

"Of course, maybe you can let this member of your team stay here, continue to threaten me with grenades, and run for your life."

"But obviously, you wouldn't do anything like that, or you wouldn't be here at all."

Hearing Captius's words, Chen Shen's brows furrowed tightly.

I have to say that Captius really grasped the key to the problem accurately.

Now I am just like what he said, I can't go, I can't go.

It's like a standard river crossing problem, every time you pick up someone to cross the river, you need someone to drive the boat, but no matter how you arrange it, someone has to drive the boat back to the other side.

In other words, there must be a person on board, and this person is destined to be sacrificed.

Chen Shen didn't expect this at first, because he didn't expect that what he caught at the airport would be such a big fish.

If Captius was really a senior member of MPRI, it would be fine, take it away, and there would always be a chance to mediate.

But the problem is that I know very well that he is a key player in the Asia-Pacific strategy of the United States that will play an important role in the future.

You kidnap such a person for him? Are you insisting on taking the hot potato back to the quilt and covering it to give Big Brother a problem?

Agents are agents, but if you have to pull the bosses into the water, then everyone has to tear their faces.

In this case, even if Xiao Yu made it clear that he wanted to take Captius away, Chen Shen was still hesitating.

Because now, in this whole world, only Lao Mei and himself know what serious consequences it will cause if he must bring Captius back to Monka!

This is an absolute zero-sum game, if Chen Shen is a pure mercenary who only looks at the immediate interests, of course he will not hesitate to carry out Xiaoyu's orders.

After all, even if it turns out that it is really wrong, it is the small fish side who is to blame.

However, he wants to continue to go on and continue to grow bigger and stronger.

In order to do this, he had to do better than the "boss" expected.

Chen Shen looked at Captius again, but this time, he had already made up his mind.

"You're right."

"You have indeed held me hostage, and once we lose control of you, we will inevitably be placed in an embattled trap, and it will be even more difficult to escape."

"However, there will always be a solution to this matter."

"I have a plan for the best of both worlds, and it won't be long before you know how to do it."

"Really? Can you swear to God? ”

Captius looked at Chen Shen in surprise, and the latter also smiled and nodded.

The two of them had no more words, and at this time, the helicopter from Wa State had slowly landed at the airport, and Chen Shen also pressed Captius to climb out of the overturned Humvee.

Lin He still only held the grenade in his hand that had been pulled out, and the number had risen to two.

At this time, even if there were accurate shooters lurking in the firing position and already aiming at the two people next to Captius, it was impossible to have the courage to fire.

Because after losing grip strength, two grenades will explode immediately, and at this distance, no one can guarantee that Captius will survive the explosion.

The three of them almost walked to the helicopter "close together", and the strong wind brought by the rotors made Captius unable to even open his eyes, but he tried to lean towards Chen Shen and shouted at the top of his voice and asked:

"This is the final step!"

"You should make your own choice!"

"Do you want to stay here with me, or do you want your companions to stay?"

At this moment, Captius felt as if he was playing a "devil's game", and he knew that this kind of dramatic scene had actually appeared in many movies.

Die yourself, or let your closest companion die for you?

If Chen Shen had chosen the latter, he would have found it amusing, but he would have been disappointed.

But if he chooses the former. That's the real fun.

The value of the leader of the Dongfeng Corps may be even higher than himself.

He was looking forward to Chen Shen's choice, and he also knew that there was not much time left for the other party.

Myitkyina's support forces are coming, and they still have an A29 in the air, and they will definitely not be able to run away, even if they have four planes, but after all, they are converted from civilian aircraft, what deterrent can they have?

You're not going to be able to take down the A29 in an air fight, right?

Captius looked at Chen Shen, waiting for his answer.

And Chen Shen's answer made him a little disappointed.

——

He got into the helicopter first, leaving the other man with him.

"Looks like you're not what I thought you were."

"It's different."

Chen Shen nodded slowly, and then put on the headphones handed to him by the crew members.

Immediately afterwards, he said in Chinese:

"Cheng Lei, ready to evacuate."

A moment later, Cheng Lei's answer came over the radio.

"Understood, I've boarded the plane and taken off."

"Ready."

"Roger."

Chen Shen made a gesture, and then, a scene that Captius didn't expect appeared.

Lin He jumped onto the helicopter with a brisk step, and in the next second, Chen Shen pulled out the FN57 on his leg.

Captius was dumbfounded, he had already guessed what Chen Shen wanted to do, but at this point, it was already too late.

"You can't-"

"Bang!"

A bullet pierced the center of Captius's eyebrows, and immediately after, the two grenades in Lin He's hand were thrown in an instant.

At the same time, helicopters rose from the ground.

This sudden change caught everyone by surprise, and many people may have thought that the Dongfeng Corps might try to forcibly take Captius away, and even they thought about how to quickly obtain permission and intercept them if the other party took Captius on the plane.

But they only didn't think that Chen Shen would kill Captius as soon as he got on the helicopter!

it!

Since you've already decided to kill him, what's the point of going to the trouble of arresting him!?

——

Just to stall for time?

Yes, this is the only plausible explanation, and the correct answer.

At this time, the anti-aircraft fire on the ground was all aimed at the helicopter, and after receiving the order, the A29, which was originally monitoring the residential area, also began to make a U-turn.

As Captius said and Chen Shen judged, this is indeed a dead end.

Kachin's anti-aircraft firepower is not a single missile position, not a few anti-aircraft guns, but a large number of portable anti-aircraft missiles, a small number of heavy machine guns, and a small number of rocket launchers.

Such air defense equipment has nothing to do with the so-called regional air defense, but you have to admit that it is easy to use in this place in Pubei.

A helicopter, how can you run?

And it's still in the take-off phase!

One person and one anti-aircraft missile can hit your mother without even knowing you.

Unless you can empty all individual air defenses at once-—— at least suppress them.

The loss of this helicopter seems to be a fact of fact, and no one thinks that it has a chance to really fly.

However, it was also at this time that a long-awaited CL-415 seaplane dived down.

It is a fire-fighting aircraft, and it has a large water tank.

This tank opened, and the liquid inside poured down.

Everything is normal.

Droplets of water sprinkled on the faces of everyone at the airport, covering most of the airport.

No one's actions were affected, and the anti-aircraft missile operators, who had long been ready, had already completed the locking of the helicopter.

He confidently pulled the trigger.

And then the explosion happened.

A huge fireball exploded on the ground of the airport, and the high-temperature flames formed by the burning of a large amount of gasoline swept the entire airport, and in the midst of this ferocious gale, the Mi-8 helicopter rose from the ground!

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

It's not that they've never seen an explosion, but they've definitely never seen an explosion of this magnitude!

As far as the eye can see, there are fires and flames everywhere.

The power of the explosion did not seem to be too great, after all, the gasoline spilled everywhere was completely insufficient in terms of density.

However, the shock it brought was definitely not comparable to any other kind of bomb!

At this time, the helicopter had risen to an altitude of nearly 50 meters, and several missiles flew behind the helicopter, but without exception, all of them missed.

Nonsense.

The heat source created by a helicopter can only be compared to the heat source of the combustion of a huge amount of gasoline?!

The missile was already doomed to lose its target the moment it was launched, and to make matters worse, the second round of gasoline was already poured down.

The remaining half of the airport was also completely covered, and the plane, which was supposed to have a fire-fighting function, played a completely opposite role at this moment

At the same time, Cheng Lei, who was already sitting on the helicopter, also began to calmly and accurately report the target point.

"X36800, Y26300, barricade."

"X36200, Y27400, residential buildings, there are civilians."

"X36300, Y28200, Blue Roof Building."

One coordinate after another blurted out, and under his guidance, even if the 4 planes in the air did not have heavy firepower, they still relied on heavy machine guns to crush the enemy's air defense positions to the point that they could not raise their heads at all!

Now, the only threat is the A29, which is diving down at breakneck speed.

Its cannon was already aimed at the helicopter in the air, and several shells grazed past the helicopter, but fortunately, it failed to shoot the helicopter down during the first dive attack.

But it only takes one U-turn, only a new angle of attack, and it's absolutely impossible to miss again!

Both sides have been cornered, and the final duel between helicopters and fixed-wing fighters has begun above the blazing flames.

Aside from two heavy machine guns, the Mi-8 had no other on-board weapons.

Its defeat seemed to be doomed, and even though the Dongfeng Corps had taken the anti-aircraft fire near the airfield by surprise, they still had nothing to do in the face of a high-speed predator.

The A-29 completed its turn on the hill opposite the airfield and lunged in the direction of the helicopter.

It's already firing.

——

But at the same time, two clouds of smoke suddenly burst out of the jungle under its wings.

Immediately after, A29 exploded in the air.

Everything happened in an instant, and no one reacted.

There should definitely be no enemy there, because all the forces of the Dongfeng Corps have been penetrated by the Kachin side.

That being the case, how is it possible for someone to shoot two anti-aircraft missiles in an absolutely safe place!?

But that's just the way it is.

Without the suppression of the A29, Chen Shen's helicopter finally took off to a safe altitude smoothly and began to evacuate outside the airport at top speed.

Similarly, another Mi-8 that took off from a residential area had also flown out of the range of anti-aircraft fire, and the two helicopters were silently evacuating towards the mountain peak, while Chen Shen's headset heard an unfamiliar call.

"Commander, the mission has been completed, please instruct."

"We can't take it, you need to evacuate yourself, and the location of the evacuation point will be updated later."

"Understood, start evacuating."

The radio signal disappeared, and the decisive jungle was quiet again.

Chen Shen knew that they were the last two reinforcements from Taiping Village.

In this whole battle, they were unknown.

Guarding the captives, hurrying, hurrying, hurrying.

And then at the last moment, simply shoot two missiles and kill them with one blow!

They have to keep going.

But, no one can catch them, and no one can defeat them
