Jackal's equipment did not really go directly to the Dongfeng Corps. In fact, according to Jackal, this batch of equipment went through dozens of applications and dozens of approvals before it was finally delivered to Meng. Even if you want to use it, you have to go through strict procedures and harsh post-assessment.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the thing arrives, the jackal will always find a way to use it.

The more stringent and difficult it is, the more it reflects how hard-won things are and how sincere Jackal is to Chen Chen.

After emptying everyone's wealth, Chen Chen couldn't wait to find Jackal and asked:

How did you get the idea to stock up on anti-tank equipment? How did you know it would be useful?

Jackal smiled mysteriously, and then replied:

Actually, to put it bluntly, these things were originally intended to be used against you.

Against us?

That's right.

Jackal nodded and continued to explain:

Actually, I have seen a long time ago that you will never be satisfied with an ordinary 'tactical team'. You will eventually develop in a more advanced, more 'heavy' and more mechanized direction.

Not only can I see it, but everyone else can too.

It's just that due to various reasons, the restraint measures against you cannot be implemented at once.

This batch of things was actually approved after you started purchasing armored units on a large scale.

Do you know how difficult it is to transport this batch of things? The most ridiculous thing is that after the equipment review was passed, we took over the order from your training base, and the relationship between us suddenly changed.

This change in wind direction has brought me unexpected trouble. Some people used this as an excuse to hinder the shipment of this batch of equipment.

I had to spend a lot of money to open up the joints. Now you know why the ISPC training venue appeared, right?

Chen Chen nodded deeply and replied sincerely:

Thank you. But why didn't you say it at the beginning? If these additional customer relationship fees are required, we can discuss it directly.

In business, we are friends, but in business we cannot be careless.

Jackal looked solemn and continued:

Maintaining such a border is better for our long-term cooperation, isn't it?

really.

Chen Chen did not ask any more questions, but instead asked:

How to use the equipment? Do you need your people to participate?

This question is actually very sharp, because on the surface Chen Chen is asking how to use the equipment, but in fact what he really wants to ask is whether Chaisili's strength in Pubei can participate in the war.

If Jackal gives an affirmative answer, the Dongfeng Corps will be equivalent to receiving strong reinforcements, and its combat effectiveness will be increased by at least 30%.

But whether he dares to give it or whether Chen Chen dares to ask for it is another question.

Nothing else, just political sensitivity.

After hearing what Chen Chen said, Jackal also understood it. He shook his head and replied:

We don't need to join the war. You can take the things and use them. I will help you with the procedures.

Then, if you go out to fight, I will keep your home safe.

We will designate the entire territory of Mengkha as a safe zone. If any external forces enter, we will let you know.

What a comrade.

Chen Chen couldn't help but said:

Then I'll leave it to you.

I will leave tomorrow at the latest. I'm afraid Peng Deren won't be able to hold on for too long.

What you need to focus on guarding against are attacks by small groups of special forces, especially attacks on civilians and family members.

You should still be good at this.

Of course, if it can't be helped, you should stay out of it and don't break your skin.

I see.

Jackal nodded solemnly and then asked:

Can you tell me the truth and explain how confident you are about starting a war with Kachin this time?

Then it depends on what kind of certainty you are talking about.

Old God Chen Chen smiled on the ground and continued:

If you are talking about razing Kachin and destroying Pubei, then I can only tell you that there is no such thing as Chengdu.

If you are talking about fending off the enemy outside, completely defeating Kachin in a decisive battle and cutting off the hand that is stretched out, then I am 30% sure.

If you're talking about wiping out the civilians, severely damaging the CIA, and at the same time defeating the Kachin, then it's 60%.

If we just block their attack and continue to maintain the balance of power, then we are 100% sure.

So high?!

Jackal's eyes widened in shock, and he subconsciously said:

But now almost everyone is not optimistic about you. To be honest, the coalition forces have not received specific intelligence yet, but judging from the information I have, the situation is indeed very unfavorable to you.

Their suppression of your equipment will be consistent from beginning to end, even if someone from your mother's family comes over. They are too conservative in doing things, and they can't defeat the old Americans regardless of the cost.

Hearing Jackal's words, Chen Chen nodded in agreement, but then he spoke again:

Equipment is important, but it does not necessarily play a decisive role.

“The most important thing for us is to realize that Kachin is fighting a ‘war of aggression’, and the ‘war of aggression’ must go hand in hand with the security war.”

They can't afford to delay for too long, so they can only rely on blitzkrieg to push all the way to quickly eliminate all the warlords' armed forces, and then obtain benefits through negotiation.

They have really learned it. We - no, they are ready to copy what the North did back then.

But they made a mistake. We are not monkeys in Vietnam, let alone Asan in India.

With a few planes and a few tanks, they want to play blitzkrieg with us. After two days, I will let them know what an insulator is.

Rely on the Allies?

Jackal frowned and continued to ask:

I thought you would let the Allied Forces withdraw to conserve their strength, and then organize a decisive battle after the Wa State is ready.

We can't wait that long. The Allied Forces are now a flag on the front line and cannot fall.

Moreover, they have now retreated to the Qingshui River area, which is the best defensive location.

We can't let the Kachin side find out the problem and bypass Qingshui River and Panlong. We just have to use the Allied Forces as bait to make them think that Qingshui River can be eaten, and then hit them hard there!

Understood.

Jackal thought for a moment and then said:

The battle to cross the river will definitely be very fierce. You need more anti-materiel weapons, but heavy weapons cannot be transported in a short time, and the helicopter is also suppressed and cannot take off. What are you going to do?

According to local conditions, if there is oil, set fire to it; if there is no oil, use fishing nets. At the same time, use all the Wa's RPGs, and defeat them all in this battle!

Then it's up to you.

Jackal nodded expectantly, and then said:

This battle is bound to be another classic battle. I have already paid you the class fees in advance. When you come back, don't ask me for money again.

of course.

Chen Chen and Jackal looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Two hours later, in the Qingshui River area.

Peng Deren stood on the bank of Qingshui River, or Nanting River, looking slightly nervously at the movements of his men in the distance.

With a huge explosion, the last bridge scheduled to be blown up was destroyed. Now, within 20 kilometers, only the Xiaoshan Bridge, a load-bearing bridge that can accommodate heavy vehicles, is left.

When things got to this point, the adjutant on the side began to feel a little impatient. While sorting out the information at hand, he reported to Peng Deren:

Sir, according to your instructions, all preparation measures have been basically completed.

We have implemented emergency military control around the area, collected all the gasoline we could find in a short period of time, and transported it to the nearby jungle for concealment, while also covering it with anti-infrared camouflage.

Judging from our own ground tests, general infrared equipment is difficult to detect and safety is guaranteed.

In addition, blockades have been set up at all key crossing points, civilian ships have been requisitioned and ran aground in some areas, and a small number of explosive ships and fire ships have also been deployed.

However, the number of these things is not large, and at most they can only block the first round of offensive.

If we want to prevent them from crossing the river, the most important thing is to have heavy firepower. When will the Dongfeng Corps arrive?

Within 15 hours.

Peng Deren answered immediately.

He and Chen Chen have already aligned their intelligence. Both sides now know what each other is doing, and the series of arrangements made by Peng Deren were actually made by Chen Chen.

Has the gas station near Xiaoshan Bridge been cleared? It must be an important target for the opponent's air units. We must reduce losses as much as possible.

Empty, all the oil in the oil depot has been drained.

That's good. If there are no other problems, let's take the team back.

Get into position according to the predetermined combat formation and be ready for battle.

The Kachin Army has advanced to the Manda area. They were delayed for a while in Lao Cai, but now they have entered a high-speed maneuver.

In two hours at most, they will arrive along the Qingshui River. By then, it will be our most critical intelligence reconnaissance window.

Send my guard platoon out and have them hide on the north bank of the Qingshui River to organize fire reconnaissance to find out the enemy's situation.

At the same time, we will establish extensive relationships with local civilians, see if they have family members or acquaintances, and convert them into our scouts.

We must figure out the opponent's key offensive direction before they launch a general attack. Otherwise, as long as one team crosses the river, it will be difficult for us to defend.

clear.

The adjutant nodded again, and then said with some hesitation:

They will most likely choose to fight at night? In terms of equipment, they are more suitable for night fighting.

Maybe we still have time?

It's impossible. The advantage that night fighting brings to them is just the icing on the cake compared to the advantages they already have. What they want to fight is a blitzkrieg, and there is absolutely no need to take this risk.

I estimate that their attack will start soon. We must.

Peng Deren's words stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, and at this moment, a strange buzzing sound suddenly appeared in the sky above Qingshui River.

Like a giant mosquito flying in the air.

Peng Deren can't say that he is very familiar with this sound, but it is true that he will not forget it in a short time.

Mustang!

The plane is coming!

Hidden! Everyone go into the jungle and hide!

Don't reveal your position! Don't try to fight back!

The other party's purpose is reconnaissance! Don't expose deployment information!

Peng Deren shouted loudly, and the adjutant on the side gave him a strong hand and pulled him back to the headquarters hidden in the house.

In just 20 seconds, just when Peng Deren stepped through the door and started to observe through the window, the buzzing sound had already reached their heads.

He took a deep breath and continued to issue covert instructions to each team through the radio. Replies kept coming from the earphones. But just when Peng Deren thought that this reconnaissance would end peacefully, there was a sudden sound in the sky. A series of explosions.

Thud, tug, tug, tug—

The two wing machine guns on the P51 fired at the same time, and a series of wailing sounds immediately came over the radio.

The position is exposed!

Peng Deren's heart tightened. He could clearly hear the hovering fighter jets lowering their altitude. At this moment, he wanted to rush out, set up his only two anti-aircraft guns, aim at the mighty fighter jets, and shoot them directly. Beat it down.

But Peng Deren knew that the consequences of doing so were absolutely unbearable for him.

Conceal! Conceal! Never fight back!

Peng Deren shouted into the radio.

Exposure is not terrible. From a high-altitude perspective, many things are clear at a glance. It is impossible for your team of 3,000 people to have no flaws at all.

There will always be positions discovered and attacked.

At this time, you can only choose to abandon these positions to preserve the entire deployment.

If a group counterattack really occurs at this time and the location of other positions is exposed, then the purpose of the opponent's fire reconnaissance will be completely achieved.

——

However, Peng Deren knows this, but his subordinates may not know it.

At least two positions did not obey the command. They instinctively raised their guns and shot at the close fighter jets, thinking that they could shoot down the aircraft with light machine guns like in some movies.

But what greeted them was an even more ferocious counterattack from the Mustang.

Stop fighting! Everyone take cover!

Peng Deren shouted hoarsely, and his order finally took effect.

Five minutes later, the Mustang, which found no other information, turned around and left. After confirming safety, Peng Deren couldn't wait to run to the vicinity of the attacked position to check the situation.

He knew it was risky, but he had to do it to stabilize the morale of the army.

What caught his eyes was a tragic scene of mutilated limbs and broken arms. At least ten people were shot by large-caliber machine guns, and their bodies were almost blown into pieces.

——

Not a machine gun.

It's a cannon.

It was exactly what Chen Chen said to him on the phone just now. The other party was really using a version of the Mustang with a cannon.

NA-91 configuration, four 20mm Hispano cannons, almost the same as a small Warthog.

The bloody smell continued to penetrate into Peng Deren's brain. At this moment, he really felt the despair of being suppressed.

what to do?

The tanks can't even drive over!

Anyone who dares to come here will definitely be attacked by these little warthogs!

Without tanks, we have to rely on ourselves and the Dongfeng Corps' light weapons. How can we defend this river! ?
