Chapter 438: Cooperation

Kashaw's confession was expected by Chen Shen, because he knew that the other party really had nothing to hold onto.

The general of the defeated army, and with absolute superiority and absolute strength, was pressed into the dust on the frontal battlefield, at this moment, he should have known that Kachin had no hope of victory.

Unless someone is on the scene in person.

But the problem is that at this time, even Lao Mei is unlikely to end up in troubled waters.

Their original purpose was to use their high-tech superiority to fight a blitzkrieg, quickly establish a victory, and force all forces in Pubei to defect.

But a surprise attack by the Dongfeng Corps deep behind enemy lines has completely shattered their illusions, and coupled with the collapse of DEVGRU on the frontline battlefield, the price they have paid is too great, so big that even if they want to "turn the page", the bargaining chips they pay are far beyond the limit of what they can bear.

So, even if there is support in the future, it will become quite limited.

But when the Kachin was the strongest and the coalition was the weakest, the coalition forces were all able to hold out, and at this time the situation was reversed, is there still hope for Kachin?

As a front-line commander, Kasho knew all too well what Kachin was up against.

Therefore, after the threat was fruitless, Chen Shen's interrogation went quite smoothly.

Operational deployments, troop locations, and high-value target movements. I threw it all up.

And based on the information he provided, Chen Shen finally got what he wanted.

The positions of several senior commanders in Kachin.

Not in Myitkyina!

Enbanla, Ganshuang, Ganmao.

Their command post is not Myitkyina, where they have already gained "formal control" in the early stage and announced their entry in a high-profile manner, nor is it Lawe in Chen Shen's memory in his previous life, but in Mudi, who is less than 20 kilometers away from the speed of the big wave!

This also explains why the other side acted so quickly in the first place, because although most of their troops were deployed in Myitkyina, Mudi also had a team to garrison.

This is an extremely critical piece of information, Chen Shen really didn't expect Enbanla to come to this hand.

But now, it's all coming to an end.

Before the Kachin strategy began, Chen Shen had already formulated three basic strategies.

Frontal combat, economic cut-off, decapitation behind enemy lines.

The frontal battle has achieved absolute superiority, and the strategy of economic disconnection has also been quite effective under the joint efforts of Xu You, Jiang He, and Peng Xucheng, and the prices of various daily necessities in Kachin have begun to rise sharply, or it will not be long before they begin to shake the foundation of society.

Then, the only thing left that has not yet achieved "major results" is the decapitation operation behind enemy lines.

And now, with Kashaw's "surrender", this opportunity to make a final decision has also fallen into the hands of Chen Shen.

Standing in front of the sand table of the temporary headquarters, Chen Shen spoke:

"The situation is very clear at the moment, and all the top leaders of the Kachin army are in the middle of the situation."

"Now, the result of the fiasco in the Battle of Qingshuihe is likely to have reached their ears, and if they react quickly enough, they should have already begun to organize a flight."

"We can't give them this opportunity, as long as these people live for a day, Kachin State will never really be distributed as a piece of cake."

"To beat the snake and hit the seven inches, to completely kill them, we must organize a large-scale 'hoeing operation'."

"We have to move fast and not give them time to react."

"So our best strategy is to carry out a resolute decapitation operation against the senior Kachin Army officers of Mudi."

"Next, there's the enemy briefing."

Chen Shen pointed at the battle map while talking eloquently.

In fact, the difficulty of this decapitation operation can be called the highest since the establishment of the Dongfeng Corps.

Not only to go deep behind enemy lines, not only to do it quickly, but most importantly, to carry out the operation against three people, and three people at the same time.

The risk of the operation is very high, and even if the decapitation is successful, the team that performs the decapitation may not be able to escape in its entirety.

After all, there are too many Kachin troops still in Mudi, and the area is still located on a major transportation route, so the support speed can be achieved in less than one hour.

Even if they use helicopters to fight in the air, they may not be able to survive their inevitably dense anti-aircraft firepower.

There is an element of luck that the Dongfeng Corps can evacuate from Mogang, is there another time of such luck?

Therefore, after listening to Chen Shen's description, everyone present frowned.

The first to speak was He Bangxiong, who, after carefully looking at the deployment of the Kachin army on the map, shook his head and said:

"Brother Chen, to be honest, I don't know how this battle is going to be fought."

"Nearly 1000 defenders, the vast majority of them elite and well-armed, with at least 4 T-90 tanks, anti-aircraft missiles, more than 10 anti-aircraft guns"

"Although I don't know about special operations, I basically know a little bit about it."

"It's a problem just to get in, let alone move and evacuate."

"I think it's better to give up."

"The Dongfeng Corps is so well-funded, if this battle is empty."

Hearing He Bangxiong's words, Chen Shen nodded slowly.

He knew that He Bangxiong was really thinking about himself and the Dongfeng Corps, because in his opinion, this beheading was indeed a thankless action.

If the war is won, many parties will benefit; The battle was lost, and the Dongfeng Corps suffered a loss.

In that case, then what else is there to fight?

But Chen Shen knew that this operation was not actually a pure "military operation", but more like a "political game".

It is not important whether the Kachin army exists or not, but the leaders of the Kachin army must not exist.

Otherwise, the war in Kachin will never end.

So, Chen Shen did not immediately express his position, but looked at another "key person" standing aside.

Shi Dakai, who has just returned from Indonesia and just arrived at the front line of the Qingshui River.

Noticing his eyes, Shi Dakai coughed lightly and said:

"My opinion is the same as that of Brigadier He, I can't fight."

"There are limits to the use of tactics, and in the current situation, no matter what tactics we use, it is impossible to change the final result."

"To put it to the extreme, as long as you fight this time, you must send it."

"Unless you can get a decisive outfit. My advice is, don't move. ”

His words fell, and everyone present seemed to have finally found the backbone.

He was followed by others who expressed their attitude, and their attitude was surprisingly unanimous, that is, to simply give up the action.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Shen basically had a judgment in his heart.

So, he announced that the meeting was temporarily over, and after everyone dispersed, he left the core members of the Dongfeng Corps.

"Are you sure?"

Chen Shen asked bluntly.

"Nope."

"Nope."

Everyone replied in turn, even the most reckless Li Bang this time they shook their heads resolutely.

Looking at Chen Shen's eyes, he continued to speak:

"If I have to gamble, I'm willing to gamble with my life."

"But, if you want to say sure, I really don't."

"We've never carried out a decapitation mission of this magnitude, and based on the current situation, it's likely that these key figures are protected by other elite forces."

"I mean, the elite forces from the United States."

'There's no leakage in their defence, maybe we can pinpoint their position, but it's almost impossible to complete the decapitation.'

"Most conventional weapons cannot pose a threat to them, and heavy firepower cannot be transported."

"Unless there are fighters from the north,"

"It's not just the north that can send fighter jets."

Before Li Bang's words were finished, Shi Dakai on the side suddenly interrupted him.

Everyone's eyes focused on Shi Dakai, and after a short pause, they suddenly looked at Chen Shen again.

"So. Do we just need positioning? ”

The white dog asked tentatively.

"That's right."

Chen Shen nodded slightly and replied:

"Half an hour ago, I received a call from the Burmese military."

"They already know the outcome of the Clearwater River, and they know that we have captured Cashaw."

"They put forward conditions."

"The conditions are simple, they will send fighter jets to carry out air strikes against key Kachin figures, and we need to provide them with precise locations."

"In exchange, we have to share this cake with them after we take the Kachin."

"How do you share it?"

Hearing Chen Shen's words, Shi Dakai immediately opened his mouth to ask.

"Kachin cannot be independent, and Pubei cannot be independent."

"At the same time, they need to maintain their basic presence in Pubei, and the relationship between Kachin and Bagan should be on par with that of Northern Shan State."

Got it. They are worried that we will make things bigger. ”

Shi Dakai breathed a long sigh of relief and continued:

"So, we're taking advantage, right?"

"We never thought of making Pubei independent, they overestimated our ambitions a little."

"No, I should say, they kind of underestimated our IQ."

"That's right."

Chen Shen nodded solemnly, and then said:

"That's why I think this task can be executed."

"We don't need to take too many risks ourselves, what we need to do is really just reconnaissance work."

"That's fine."

Shi Dakai also nodded, and then said:

"It's not that simple to find a specific location, in fact, we have to create conditions for the Burmese side to carry out air strikes."

"But at least, it's much safer than if we were to do it ourselves."

"I can lead the team, Lin He and Jiang He will go with me."

"This operation doesn't require too many people, and concealment is the most important thing."

"At the same time, the pace of frontal combat needs to be accelerated to match our actions."

"Quicken?"

Chen Shen glanced at Shi Dakai suspiciously, and asked:

"Are you sure it's speeding up, not slowing down?"

"I'm sure."

Shi Dakai nodded solemnly and replied:

"We have to put more pressure on the Embanra group, and only when they move will we have a chance to investigate."

"If they're just cowering in one of Mudi's underground fortifications, we won't necessarily find them even if we turn Mudi over."

"So, the key to this mission may not be us, but you."

"You have to make him really feel like he's hurt and hopeless before we have a chance."

"So. In fact, the operational objectives at this stage are very clear. ”

"The Qingshui River has been taken, and the Kachin support forces are still in Nankan."

"We must take Sister Mu, capture Nankan and Ba Mo before them, and completely open the door to Kachin!"

"No problem!"

Chen Shen replied immediately, and the others also nodded.

At this moment, Lin He, who had always been silent, suddenly raised his hand, and then asked:

"So, since the plan is meant to be that, then why. Didn't you just say it? ”

Hearing his words, the white dog on the side couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

He coughed and replied in place of Chen Shen:

"It was just a simple temptation."

"What the regiment commander wants to know is how many people in this loose coalition army want the Dongfeng Corps to die."

"If anyone supports the proposal of the Dongfeng Corps to conduct a decapitation operation at the discussion just now, then after cleaning up the Kachin, we should also clean them up."

"But fortunately, these people still have brains."

"If they really don't even recognize the eldest brother, then we can't blame us for being ruthless"

Speaking of this, the white dog couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

I don't know how long ago, he already listed himself as the "sixth person" of the Dongfeng Corps.

And now it seems that his goal has finally been achieved.

At the same time, Myitkyina, Nampo airport.

As a meritorious airport with a history dating back to the "Hump Route", it has been virtually idle for a long time after the Kachin army continued to expand.

With no planes, no pilots, and even a pitiful number of ground crew, the airport has maintained only the bare minimum for the past year or two, let alone combat, and even in daily training, very few fighter jets have landed here.

A good "air base" has almost been reduced to the level of selling runways and ground handling services to civilian airliners, and it has to be said that this is a shame for the Burmese military.

But the shame is about to be washed away, because just today, the airport welcomed new guests.

Two MiG-29 fighters, as well as one A-5C attack aircraft.

The arrival of three fighter jets made the entire airfield instantly busy, and along with the arrival of the fighters, there were a full 10 infantry battalions.

The situation in Myitkyina escalated instantly, and within a few hours, with the support of air firepower, the Burmese army launched a major offensive against the Kachin army around Myitkyina.

However, even with air cover, the Tatmadaw was not at all able able to claim success in the operation.

Even though Kachin has lost the support of the United States after the defection of the Bagan official, the equipment imported in the early stage is still there after all, and the Burmese Defense Forces, which do not have an advantage in equipment, have not taken any advantage.

The two sides confronted each other outside the city of Myitkyina, and the situation reached a stalemate.

Everyone believed that the Burmese side would definitely send more air power to support the Myitkyina battlefield.

But they didn't know that this was just an ancient ploy of Ming Xiu Plank Road to secretly Chen Cang.

The three fighter planes at Nampo Airport are ready, and their real target is actually Mudi hundreds of kilometers away.
