36 hours later, in a jungle in the northern suburbs of Monkha, 8 kilometers away from the main city and 5 kilometers away from the Monkha military camp, Chen Chen directed the mercenaries of the Lion Corps to unload the goods one by one from the vehicle. The white dog looked at the various equipment, and his doubts had almost reached its peak.

He shook his head and walked towards Chen Chen, lowering his voice and asked:

Are you sure you can use all these things? Are you sure your strategy can succeed?

I mean, we may cause a relatively large wave of casualties to the 7th Brigade, but that's it.

It's so far away. It's difficult for us to even assess the kills.

Seriously, your battle plan sounds like a joke. Do you want to reconsider it?

Hearing his words, Chen Chen shook his head disdainfully, and then replied:

So now do you know why we can survive so many battles? Do you know why you are so strong, but you are still defeated by us?

The reason is actually very simple - we dare to think, but you don't.

Teams like yours always think that fighting should be rigid and rigid.

You can also play tactics and be pretentious, but you will only follow the cases in the textbook. Even if there are changes, they will all be within the basic strategies of conventional combat.

If we go to war like this, there will be trouble if we don't lose - who doesn't know how to read textbooks?

This is the gap between you and us, this is also the gap between you and me.

Chen Chen's words made Bai Gou speechless. The latter opened his mouth several times and finally said:

But you clearly have a better chance - the intelligence you collected shows that there may be a conflict between Myanmar's Mengku camp and the 7th Brigade of the Shan State Army. The recent dispatch of the 7th Brigade has indeed verified this intelligence. .”

If the two sides really fight, the situation will definitely be chaotic. Wouldn't you take advantage of that opportunity to carry out infiltration operations? Why do you have to do it now?

This kind of information was not my purpose in the first place. A soldier never tires of deceit. Who knows if they are going to fight for real?

Chen Chen asked rhetorically, and then continued to explain:

Of course, I'm not saying that this is definitely a trap set by the 7th Brigade, because the relationship between them is indeed deteriorating.

But so what? Even we can see that this is an opportunity for a surprise attack. As the military commander of the 7th Brigade, Chen Yimin, can he not see it?

He will definitely be prepared, and he will even have additional and specialized defensive measures against us. When the 7th Brigade actually starts fighting with the Burmese army, that's when they will be at their most heavily defended and most powerful.

Then why do we have to hit the muzzle?

“Surprise is the right strategy.”

We can create chaos ourselves, so there's no need to wait for others.

Stop talking so much, go take out the hydrogen tank and blow up the balloon quickly. If the wind direction changes later, we will have spent so much time preparing.

Bai Gou still wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that after all, he was just a helper hired by Chen Chen, and he was only responsible for the tasks of harassment and cover. He was not responsible for their real battle plan. In fact, he has no say.

In that case, let him be.

Bai Gou shook his head, turned around and unloaded the last can of hydrogen from the pickup truck, and began to assist Chen Chen in filling the balloon.

At the same time, Chen Chen, who seemed to be silent and wandering, was actually running wildly, confirming the details of the plan for the last time.

In fact, what he wanted to do was very simple. It could be summed up in one sentence, that is, rush to the Mengka military camp, get close enough, and then aim two thermobaric bombs at Chen Yimin's command post.

An individual cloud burst bomb can generate an overpressure of about 0.3Mpa within 3 meters of the explosion center. It will generate a high temperature of about 2,500 degrees during the combustion process, and can effectively kill targets within 50 square meters on flat ground.

If the explosion center happens to be in a closed environment, and the volume of the environment is within 120 cubic meters, the living target in the closed environment will almost certainly die after the cloud bomb explodes.

Because at this time, the overpressure generated by the cloud bomb will reach an astonishing 0.8Mpa.

According to early interrogations and Lin He's remote reconnaissance, the command post has a total of 3 floors, less than 8 meters high, 11 meters long from north to south, and 10 meters wide from east to west. It is divided into 7 rooms in total.

In other words, the average volume of each relatively confined space is less than 120 cubic meters.

Even if one cloud bomb is not enough, two or three rounds are enough.

But it is not simple at all to implement such a plan.

Sneaking into the command post is impossible. The command post is the most heavily defended and monitored area. No matter how big a disturbance is caused, as long as Chen Yimin retreats into the command post, his loyal private soldiers will definitely attack him as quickly as possible. Return to defense and build the strongest defense line near the command post.

Want a breakthrough?

Without dozens or hundreds of people and absolutely crushing equipment advantages, it would be impossible for you to even get a foothold.

After all, the 7th Brigade's defense line has now expanded to 3 kilometers outside the military camp, and the command post is in the center of the military camp. The total distance inside and outside is 4 kilometers!

At this distance, it can basically be said that all weapons held by non-warlord armed forces are ineffective.

The 1,000-meter range of the rocket launcher is out of reach. On the one hand, the mortar has accuracy problems, and on the other hand, its armor-breaking capability is insufficient to penetrate the thick concrete armor of the command post.

As for the 107 rocket launcher in Chen Chen's hand, it has an accuracy of 1/80. When launched from a distance of 5 kilometers, the dispersion range has reached 60 meters - which is beyond the effective killing range of the rocket explosion.

This is simply not a piece of equipment suitable for precision strikes on a single target.

What? You said you wanted to engage in shelling?

Don't be kidding, do you think that artillery with long-range strike and range strike capabilities can be purchased by just anyone?

In ancient China, there was no problem if you hid swords secretly, but if you hid armor secretly, it would be a serious crime of rebellion.

In northern Myanmar, hiding cannons is also the same crime.

Therefore, the only feasible attack plan is to attack from the air.

These warlords have almost no experience in responding to air attacks, and the troops lack basic air defense monitoring methods. In addition, the paramotor can be shut down and the engine started at any time in the air. Chen Chen can shut down the engine after reaching a sufficient height, silently Gliding to the predetermined position and hovering without rest, then directly using the cloud explosion bomb from the air to perform an initiation attack!

There is no problem in attacking, the problem is in evacuating.

The maximum flight speed of a paramotor is only 50 kilometers per hour, and its acceleration is extremely slow.

After completing the attack, those soldiers of the 7th Brigade who were not killed on the spot would inevitably react and start strafing themselves in the air who had no ability to resist.

That's why, he needs balloons, he needs 107 fire, he needs extra cloud bombs, he needs Lion Corps.

All of this is preparation for evacuation.

Dozens of hydrogen balloons were hung with high explosives with detonators and allowed to float with the wind above the 7th Brigade's Mengka camp. While attacking, they used radio to send out specific frequency signals. The receivers on the balloons received the signals. A circuit is formed to ignite the initiator, which burns through the balloon, and then detonates the detonator and explosive after a short delay.

——

This is a simple air-delivered version of IED, not to mention the Middle East, which was even used during World War II.

Now, Chen Chen has just scaled it up.

This time, he wanted Chen Yimin to see who the patriarch was in this area.

——

Oh, no, he most likely won’t be able to see it.

In addition to the purpose of disrupting local judgment and interrupting the opponent's OODA after the explosion of the hydrogen balloon, the Lion Corps will also immediately use 107 fire for bombing when the attack is completed.

All 24 rockets will be fired one by one, concentrated in the central area near the command post, suppressing the enemy's reinforcement firepower, and creating a relatively safe fire vacuum for Chen Chen.

After doing all this, the Lion Corps still needs to stick to the planned flight path of the paramotor, using various weapons in their hands, including individual cloud bombs, to hold back the enemy's pursuit force so that Chen Chen can smoothly fly into the jungle and land. .

The Lion Corps could not evacuate until Chen Chen confirmed that he had dropped his parachute.

Based on the flight speed, it would take them at least 20 minutes.

This is not a simple task either, but

The Lions must go and get it done.

Half an hour later, all the hydrogen balloons were ready and the wind direction gradually began to stabilize.

Chen Chen led others to aim in the direction of the Mengka camp in the distance, and released hydrogen balloons one after another.

Afterwards, he and Li Bang immediately headed to the flat and high slope in the rear. With the help of the Lion Soldier team members, they got on the paramotor and carried the Cloud Explosive Rocket Launcher on their backs and set off on the spot.

The moment he saw the paramotor take off, the white dog waiting on the ground suddenly became enlightened.

——

After more than ten years of fighting, this was the first time he saw live air strikes in northern Myanmar.

What else is done with a paramotor!

What kind of world is this?

Seeing that the paramotor had taken off and the balloon army was gradually drifting away, Bai Gou sighed deeply and gave orders to his team members.

Two people from group 1 are responsible for releasing the rockets, and everyone else will follow me and go to the predetermined evacuation point No. 1, ready to fight!

In the air, Chen Chen carefully controlled the paramotor to fly away from the camp while asking about the situation of the Li gang.

Although the latter had undergone more than ten hours of short-term assault training and was basically able to adapt to high altitudes and paramotor flying, he was inexperienced after all, and Chen Chen had to devote some of his energy to paying attention to his condition.

But fortunately, at least judging from the current situation, he is still in good condition.

There was no moon in the sky at this time, and as the paramotor gradually rose higher, they lost sight in the dark night.

The only thing that could be used as a reference was the brightly lit camp a few kilometers away.

Chen Chen pulled up his paramotor and then said to Li Bang:

No. 1, pay attention to your status. If you feel any discomfort, you must explain it in time. This will affect the execution of subsequent tasks.

Received, I don't think there's much problem, I'm very awake.

That's fine.

Hearing this, Chen Chen nodded subconsciously in the air, and then continued to ask:

Baigou, have you arrived at the planned blocking location?

We'll arrive in 10 minutes. Damn, they've set up a lot of sentry posts, and it's really not that easy to get around them.

I can only give you 15 minutes at most. We are preparing to circle and climb to altitude. Radio communications may be interrupted. We will carry out the original plan.

Understood, follow the original plan. The balloon is 3 kilometers away from the target point, about 40 meters high, and the rising speed is slow, within our expectations.

After hearing Bai Gou's answer, Chen Chen immediately added:

How far off is the direction?

The direction deviation is slight, within two degrees according to visual inspection. According to the current route, the balloon will pass by the southeast side of the camp.

The southeast side is okay. I'm starting to climb.

After finishing his words, Chen Chen gently pulled the joystick.

Then, amid the roar of the diesel engine, his paramotor flew higher and higher.

Behind him, Li Gang quickly grabbed the handrail. When the luminous altimeter showed that the altitude had reached nearly 1,000 meters, Chen Chen returned to level flight.

It has to be said that even for him who was tired of flying in helicopters in his previous life, this was a quite novel experience.

His whole body was completely exposed to the air, and the cool night wind blew by. Below him was the dark mountain forest, and above him was the equally dark night sky.

Apart from the military camp, the only glowing thing in their sight was the fluorescent indicator tape they carried.

Getting closer and closer to the Mengka camp, Chen Chen's radio finally found a signal from Lin He.

As an observer, he lurked on the hillside about two kilometers away from the Mengka camp, always paying attention to the movements of the command post.

No. 5, is the target still in the building?

Yes, I didn't see him come out.

Lin He's answer was not so concise and professional. After all, he had not been trained yet, but as long as his meaning could be expressed clearly, that was enough.

Stop the engine and count down to 10 minutes to start the attack.

Understood, we have arrived at the blocking location.

No. 5, evacuate in 8 minutes.

Understood, evacuate in 8 minutes.

No. 1, prepare cloud bombs.

Ready.

A series of orders were issued and confirmed within a very short period of time.

The height of the paramotor began to decrease, and the distance to the Mengka camp was getting closer and closer.

With a countdown of five minutes and a distance of 3 kilometers, Chen Chen could already see the specific outline of the camp clearly.

With a countdown of 3 minutes and a distance of 1 kilometer, the speed of the paramotor began to decrease under Chen Chen's intentional control. He identified the location of the central command post.

With a one-minute countdown, the paramotor arrived above the central command post at a height of 150 meters.

At this point, they had entered an extremely dangerous distance.

Because, under the reflection from the ground, shadowy black shadows can already be seen in the sky.

But in the end, no one found this bat flying silently in the dark night.

At the same time, at a height of about 100 meters, Chen Chen saw several hydrogen balloons with fluorescent markers.

Of the 40 balloons originally planned, no more than 20 actually flew here, but this was enough.

With a countdown of 10 seconds, Chen Chen adjusted the position of the paramotor so that the side was parallel to the open door of the command post, and then took the PF89 cloud explosive bomb prepared by the Li gang.

The two of them aimed at the door at the same time.

3, 2, 1 fire!

The order was given, the trigger was pulled, and the cloud explosive bomb came out.

One of the two rockets went directly into the door, and the other hit the ground outside the door.

boom!

A huge explosion sounded, white smoke exploded, and then the spreading incendiary powder was instantly ignited.

The flames exploded!
