Gale

Inside the 505th Brigade headquarters.

Zhao Jialiang sat behind the sand table with a solemn expression, quietly listening to the adjutant's report.

The opponent launched the attack from the south side of the Rock River, and the vehicle used was a truck, a civilian truck.

After getting off the vehicle, they immediately formed a formation and used rocket launchers to knock out four of our machine gun fire points. We had no time to react. The heavy firepower of the open sentry lost its effect immediately.

Then they threw smoke bombs across the river, nearly 50 meters away, and most of the smoke bombs landed on the pier.

This seriously hindered our observation, and the officers and soldiers of the ninth company were stunned.

They immediately organized a counterattack, but because their line of sight was blocked, they did not cause much effective damage to the enemy.

However, they delayed the enemy for a while and bought time for the armored company to dispatch.

The 4th Armored Company set out from the Friendship Bridge Station and it took less than two minutes to arrive at Locke Pier.

But within these two minutes, our defenders at Locke Pier were almost wiped out - it's not the fault of the defenders, the opponent used cloud burst bombs.

Moreover, the other party seemed to have thermal imaging equipment. I learned from the oral statements of the wounded soldiers that they were shot even if they were hiding in smoke and without cover.

The opponent is very well-equipped and has a clear goal.

In short, after the 1st Armored Company arrived, we immediately bombarded them, but the speed of the assault boat had already increased by that time, and the first attack missed.

Then they used the 23mm cannon on the assault boat to penetrate the armor of the assault gun from the side, causing a fatal explosion.

After the explosion, our defense completely collapsed and no one pursued it, but the front-line commander immediately arranged an interception and placed it near the Golden Triangle Park.

At that time, they were still nearly 40 kilometers away from the Golden Triangle Park, and we had plenty of time to mobilize our defense.

The problem is, they didn't take the river in Golden Triangle Park, but drove near the Paradise Hotel.

You know, there is a narrow place where the Rock River and the Mekong River meet. There is seepage all year round. The embankment at the narrowest point is less than 5 meters. They directly blew up the embankment. After waiting for a few minutes, the gap was big enough and the water was deep enough. We drove directly into the Mekong River from there.”

How can it be!

Zhao Jialiang immediately interrupted the adjutant and then said:

Even if it can explode, it's not deep enough for an assault boat to pass through. And how can it explode in a short time? There.

But here's the rub.

The adjutant sighed and continued:

It was originally a channel that smuggling ships often used, but it has basically been destroyed by repeated excavations.

We originally planned to take that channel when sailing this time. Otherwise, the procedures would be too troublesome if we passed through the Golden Triangle Park Port.

It can be said that they have completed the path we originally wanted to take.

Zhao Jialiang's face finally showed a surprised look, and he subconsciously asked:

How could they possibly know this way?

It's not strange to know that this road exists, but it's strange to know that it can be walked. No matter what, they have already reached the Mekong River.

We are still chasing, but we don't dare to chase too close.

We notified Nuokang and they would intercept it along the river, but when the boat went into the water, it was like a tank going up the mountain.

I'm afraid, we have to get on the helicopter, otherwise, Laos has to intercept it - they also have an assault boat.

What a joke, this ship belongs to them!

Zhao Jialiang scolded angrily, but then fell into confusion.

Yes, if you don’t contact Laos, what else can you do?

Although he is known as the strongest brigade in Southern Shan State, his only armored equipment is concentrated on land - this is why he is so coveted for this ship and wants to buy it even if it is risky.

But now, the ship has been snatched away.

On his own territory, under his nose, he killed dozens of his people, and then walked away like that!

He also killed one of his own armored vehicles.

Do you know how expensive that armored vehicle is? !

Zhao Jialiang gritted his teeth and continued to ask after a long time of calming down:

Who is that person opposite? How many people are there?

I don't know the exact number of people, but it will definitely not be more than 20, because one truck can fit them in, and a search of assault boats has also loaded them all away.

As for the identity, it's hard to say right now, but I'm sure it's the same group of people who attacked Lianyi.

Nuokang's enemy?

Zhao Jialiang asked with a frown.

Nuokang doesn't have such a strong team, their style of play, their efficiency. At least I've never seen it.

There are two judgments now. One judgment is that the opposite side is the special operations personnel of Thailand's underwater demolition attack force.

This view is still very credible. They have motives and capabilities, and their fighting style and fighting methods are also very consistent.

The only thing that doesn't fit is the direction in which they fled - they fled north by boat, pointing in the direction of Sanfu and Xiaomengla.

After hearing this, Zhao Jialiang pondered for a moment and then said:

The suspicion cannot be completely ruled out. If it is really them, it is impossible to transport the stolen goods to their home. They have to transfer the stolen goods at least once - it is possible that they have connections with Laos, or even with the north.

“It’s unlikely that it’s going north, and that’s a big contradiction.”

In the second judgment, some people do think it is the north, but think about it, if it is really the north and it really wants to make such a big noise, even bigger than the noise of war, the north still has no need to do so. What to do?

Either they send someone to quietly establish a relationship and drive away, or the bomb should not be the dock, but our headquarters.

A chill suddenly penetrated Zhao Jialiang's back, and he suddenly felt lucky:

Fortunately not

That means we can't find out who it is?

The adjutant shook his head and answered frankly:

It will definitely not be found until we catch them.

Then catch them!

.It might be really difficult for our patrol boats to catch them. The ones with strong weapons are slow, and the ones that are fast without weapons. Anyway, let's give it a try.

Zhao Jialiang had no choice but to nod. After a moment, he said:

This is a lesson.

A ship with all weapons and ammunition, and so much cargo loaded on it, didn't even have basic safety measures, and was just driven away by them?!

Hearing this, the adjutant couldn't help but feel helpless.

We originally planned to set off as soon as possible. We can't prepare weapons a few minutes before departure. I will issue the order and strengthen management.

What the hell are you managing!

Zhao Jialiang glared at the adjutant angrily and continued:

The most valuable things have been taken away. Will he come back to snatch our rags?!

Stop talking so much.

Chase, chase quickly!

Inform Nuokang and ask him to prepare for interception!

At the same time, Jianglong assault boat was on board.

Chen Chen sat in the cab, driving the boat while looking at the materials handed over by Bai Gou.

The pass issued by Zhao Jialiang himself, the handover list, and the list of contact letters with the Thai side still contain antibiotics. Tsk tsk tsk, luckily they didn't get shipped over. If they did, Thailand would also be dragged into the water.

These things plus the radio, plus the cargo in the ship, plus the ship itself, Zhao Jialiang has to admit it or not. No matter which force ends up in the hands, he will have to shed his skin.

Needless to say, I've been beaten to death. Now it's up to us how to transport this batch of things.

Chen Chen shook his head, put the things aside, and then continued:

Zhao Jialiang will definitely not give up so easily, but their water power basically cannot catch up with us. The next one to enter the game may be Nuokang.

He cooperates so closely with the 505th Brigade, and it will not do them any good if this matter is revealed.

They will definitely try their best to intercept us, and may even block the entire river.

It's really difficult to handle. We are still too passive. There is just a boat floating on the river. If he is determined to pull a few boats and launch dozens of rocket launcher bombs, we really can't escape.

Not to mention they have helicopters and maybe even individual missiles.

Three blessings is a big pass. Once you pass the three blessings, the Mekong River will have more tributaries.

If they want to intercept us, Nuokang will definitely deploy heavy troops there.

We can only rush over, but how to get there is really a problem.

Hearing Chen Chen's words, Bai Gou nodded and said:

It's really difficult. Nuokang has a lot of ships. Even if we mobilize a group of civilian ships to intercept them near Sanfu, it will be difficult for us to get by.

But looking at you, you don't feel like you take it seriously?

What is a good way?

Chen Chen shook his head helplessly and replied:

Actually, there is really no good way except to rush over by force.

But we currently lack heavy firepower. The killing efficiency is too low if we rely on one anti-aircraft gun. It is not difficult to kill a group of people, but it is basically impossible to pass quickly.

Now we can only go over and take a look, betting that they won't move so fast - after all, we are now less than 20 kilometers away from Sanfu, and 90 minutes have passed since we launched the attack. We still have a chance to get ahead of them. of.

Of course, if you are really blocked, just turn around.

We now have enough fuel, and we can at least have a range of close to 300 kilometers down the river, which is enough for us to drive until the sun shines.

That's Xuan Ruanlong's territory. I give him such a big gift to give him the opportunity to overthrow Nuokang. I don't believe he disagrees.

After all, this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing.

Xuan Ruanlong? What's his story?

White Dog asked curiously.

He previously commissioned the 7th Brigade to destroy a drug manufacturing camp near Mengka - under the banner of anti-drugs, it was us who took action.

What the hell?!

The white dog was shocked.

Asura Corps? You guys?!

Looking at his expression, Chen Chen suddenly realized that when this matter was carried out, his specific identity was indeed not revealed. There was only a legend related to the so-called Shura Corps being circulated everywhere.

Now it seems that even the Lion Corps has only heard the legend and roughly understood what happened, but they have no idea about the real situation.

It’s true that I don’t have my name on the world, but my shadow is everywhere

Chen Chen nodded slightly and replied:

Yes, Shura Corps.

But those are all nonsense, just to deceive others.

Hey, you don't publicize such a war case, but you still want to hide it from others.

If it were us, it would have been written on the office's sign!

--But that's right, our current reputation doesn't need such small things to add to it.

Yeah, just understand.

Chen Chen stopped talking and asked instead:

How is the remaining equipment now?

We still have the last four rounds of the rocket launcher, and the cloud bombs are gone.

I just checked the equipment on the ship. There are nearly 400 rounds of anti-aircraft artillery bullets left, which are basically usable. There is an 85 heavy machine gun on the bow, but there are not many bullets. There are only more than 200 rounds left.

Other rifles and light weapons and ammunition are sufficient, as are projectiles, but it is difficult to say how effective they will be on the water.

really.

Although the water station and the land battle look like both sides are shooting at each other with guns, they are actually completely different things.

On land, you have sufficient maneuvering range and can establish an advantage through bunkers. The difference in marksmanship and combat quality can also determine the outcome of a battle to a large extent.

But what about on the water?

The boat is so big and there are only so many shooting points. What tricks can you make?

This is why modern warships are increasingly developing in the direction of thin skin and big stuff, focusing on firepower and first strike, but no longer focusing on protection.

On the one hand, this is due to excess lethality, and on the other hand, it is also due to the particularity of water warfare, which has led to the most efficient tactic of both sides, which is long-range missile bombardment.

This is true for battles between large ships at sea, let alone battles between ships on rivers.

Unless the tonnage is reduced to a certain level, to the level of speedboats or assault boats, there is still some room for maneuvering.

Other than that, there is really no other way.

The problem is huge.

Chen Chen sighed.

The phobia of insufficient firepower is coming back! !

So now it's clear that there are only two paths we can take.

Either turn around and let the sun shine, or fight hard.

But if we want to fight hard, our current firepower is too far apart - that is to say, we have to find a way to get some big guys to use.

Why don't you go and rob Laos' military camp here?

Bai Gou said coldly.

.Are you crazy?

Chen Chen was a little baffled. He couldn't understand why after fighting a few battles with him, the people around him became more radical than the other? !

Needless to say, Li Bang and Bao Qi, Shi Dakai has also changed, and now even the white dogs are clamoring to invade the Laos military camp!

What happened to each one of them?

I am not a reckless person, how can I bring these people out? !

After finally closing his eyes, Chen Chen frowned and said:

It is impossible to attack the Laotian military camp. Even if we could fight, we would not be able to fight.

But speaking of which, a little south of Sanfu, I do know a place where I can get good stuff as a backup plan.

cannon?

Bai Gou asked excitedly.

It's not a cannon, but it's more powerful than a cannon.

What the hell?!

Bai Gou's curiosity aroused completely.

Chen Chen smiled slightly and replied:

There is a town over Sanfu called Wanbang. Wanbang is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. Transportation is basically by water.

“But because it’s in the Golden Triangle, its economy is quite developed—it has several gas stations.”

“Where there are gas stations, there are oil tankers.”

I remember that the oil tanker there was a converted fishing boat, and it would come here once a week.

Let's go see if it's there. If not, we'll find another way.

But if there is, then give them a good time.

Speaking of this, Chen Chen paused for a moment.

Then, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

A dead drug dealer wants to get involved in my affairs?

Stop me? It's all because of him!
