I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 515 Conspiracy
"The target has been confirmed."

"The total number of people is about 60, and they live in a total of 21 houses near the supermarket."

"The situation is relatively complicated. According to the current intelligence analysis, these JD elements are living together with local civilians in Tabuka."

"We cannot confirm whether civilians clearly understand the identity and background of JD elements, let alone whether they have any contact with JD elements."

"So, we cannot use weapons of mass destruction and can only carry out single-point cleaning of each residential house."

"This will be a difficult street battle, and the difficulty of CQB combat will reach an unprecedented level."

"Furthermore, in order to prevent JD elements from fleeing to other areas, we must also conduct strict blockades on surrounding streets."

"This will take up a lot of manpower and Suhail's team will be fully dedicated to this work."

"The only ones who can really carry out the offense are ourselves."

"Fifty people attacked 50 houses, but there was no way to launch attacks simultaneously."

"It's very difficult. It can even be said that it's basically an impossible task."

"How's it going? Do you have any good suggestions?"

In the combat command room, Chen Chen pointed at the freshly released combat map while introducing the details of the mission.

After listening to his briefing, everyone present fell silent.

It's not like they haven't practiced using less to fight more; they are certainly more familiar with CQB; fighting in a night environment is no longer a problem with the blessing of night vision goggles.

但问题时，当这三个要素集合在一起时，它的难度可不是简单的1+1+1=3，而是2*2*2=8！

The troops are dispersed, the enemy is hidden and we are clear, and once discovered by the enemy, our formation cannot be deployed at all.

This is too difficult. Could it be that they couldn't think of any good solution in a short period of time.

Chen Chen's eyes glanced around and finally landed on the veteran he was more familiar with.

He looked at Yang Shu, who was always bowing his head in thought, and asked:
"Yang Shu, tell me what you think first."

Hearing Chen Chen's words, Yang Shu coughed and replied:
"If I go by my idea, it would be to directly guide automatic howitzers, large-caliber mortars, and other explosive and anti-personnel weapons to demolish all 20 buildings."

"Or, even simpler, besiege but not attack, cut off water and electricity, and starve all the people inside."

"Anyway, the JD elements are already living in their homes. Does it matter if we have evidence that they are JD elements?"

"Whether they are or not, when they turn into corpses, it's not us who have the final say."

After the words fell, Chen Chen rolled his eyes helplessly, and then explained:

"Your ideas may work in other places, but you have to know that this is Syria, this is Tabqa, and this is a city that has been eroded by JD ideology."

"Any behavior that is likely to intensify the contradiction between the people and the government must not occur, because once it occurs, everything we do will be meaningless."

"And, in extreme cases, it may even be used as a propaganda tool by those JD elements."

"So, don't bring up this plan again, let me think about it again!"

Yang Shu helplessly spread his hands and replied:
"Then there is nothing I can do. The combat situation here is completely different from when we were in Pubei. There are too many concerns and too many restrictions. My method is obviously not going to work."

“Let others think about it—Lin He, what do you say?”

At this time, Lin He was still thinking about the plan with his brows furrowed. Suddenly he heard Yang Shu calling his name. He raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, and subconsciously replied:
"Huh? What should I say?"

"My thoughts are similar to those of Yang Shu. Isn't it okay to poison the tap water?"

"No."

Chen Chen shook his head decisively.

"Then there's nothing I can do."

"To be honest, I don't think there is any better way in this situation. Maybe we can only fight hard."

After Lin He finished speaking, Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, hard hitting is not impossible.

If he had the strongest veterans of the Dongfeng Corps in his hands now, then Chen Chen probably wouldn't hesitate at all.

So what about 60 people? So what if the terrain is complex? So what if the enemies are scattered?
Starting from the first building, he blocked the fire blind spot and pushed through one building after another. Chen Chen even had the confidence to control the number of casualties to less than two people.
-
But the problem is that now he has new recruits in his hands.

They have indeed undergone long-term training, and have even fought several small-scale security battles in Pubei.

However, after all, they are not veterans who have truly experienced the baptism of war for a long time. When they really engage in high-intensity and high-intensity conflicts, they will definitely make mistakes.

And as long as you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.

Not to mention two casualties, maybe even single-digit casualties, this is a luxury.

He was unwilling to take this risk, nor was he willing to use the lives of his team members to exchange for a result that he considered "little significance."

Thinking of this, Chen Chen turned his attention to Bai Gou again.

At this time, the latter had already raised his head.

Noticing Chen Chen's gaze, Bai Gou said:
"I do have an idea, but it's not tactical, it's strategic."

"tell me the story?"

Chen Chen immediately became interested. He sat up slightly and waited for the white dog's answer.

Bai Gou took a deep breath and said:

"The biggest trouble with this mission actually lies in two points."

"First, the problem of identifying friend or foe."

"JD elements mix with civilians, and we cannot easily and quickly identify their identities when performing sweeps. This brings us uncontrollable risks."

"Second, there is the issue of attack methods."

"The highly secure attack methods we can use are all restricted, which means that the equipment gap between us and the opponent has been narrowed to an extremely low level."

"We have to address both of these issues if we are to minimize casualties."

"But it is obvious that no matter what tactics are used, it is impossible for us to solve these two problems from a tactical level - this is an objective law."

"So, we can only jump out of the tactical level and think from a higher level."

"and then?"

Chen Chen asked.

"Then it's as simple as solving one of the problems and both problems are solved at the same time."

"Don't be so secretive, just tell me!"

Chen Chen cursed angrily, and Bai Gou chuckled and replied:
"Isn't that what I'm talking about?"

"I mean, we're trying to solve the problem of identification."

"Now, aren't we going to figure out who the JD elements are?"

"What if we don't need to screen?"

"What if there was a way to bring them to the surface on their own?"

"If you say one more nonsense, pack your bags and go back to Pubei now!"

"Fire the gun."

Bai Gou quickly said:

"We hand out guns to residents to make sure everyone is armed."

"Then we declared that all non-residents within the demarcated area are JD elements."

"The permanent residents living under the same roof with them can choose to surrender and evacuate, or they can choose to kill the JD elements themselves."

"Either way, our problem is solved, isn't it?"

Chen Chen was stunned.

But Lin He on the side asked naively:
"What if they neither evacuate nor conflict with the JD elements?"

"you still need to ask?"

Bai Gou glared at Lin He and explained:
"Then they are also JD elements." "In this case, do we need to attack them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire combat command room fell into silence again.

At this moment, all the recruits of the Dongfeng Corps who had just arrived in Syria felt an unprecedented shock.
Two hours later, White Dog's plan was officially implemented.

Suhail did not reveal his intentions. Instead, he jointly issued the first "Resident Defense Plan" after martial law in conjunction with the local police station on the grounds of "strengthening security."

More than two thousand small arms of various types were urgently transported to Tabuka and all were distributed within four hours.

According to Suhail's statistics, at least more than two-thirds of the residents of Tabuka currently hold weapons, and in the so-called "key areas", the gun ownership rate exceeds 100%.

The reason is simple. I don’t care if you have a gun or not. Now that I’ve given it to you, you have to hold it for me!

Not only do you have to hold it, you also have to take on the responsibility of the residents and stand guard outside the door with a gun for me!

Have an opinion?

I'm doing this for everyone's benefit. If you have any objections, don't blame me for enforcing it.
Looking at the empty carriages and the residents with guns standing helplessly by the windows and outside the doors, Suhail's expression was both serious and a little unable to hide his smile.

"Chen Chen, your plans are always beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding."

"I have studied many of your battle cases in Pubei before, but most of those battle cases are at the tactical level. Although they are equally exciting, they do not truly reflect your wisdom as a commander."

"This time, I have truly seen your insidiousness."

"But it's so insidious."

"To be honest, I don't believe that residents who harbor JD elements don't know who they are around."

"It's just that due to public opinion and political pressure, I had to choose a more conservative plan."

"It's fine now, all worries have been lifted."

"Then we just need to wait quietly, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Chen nodded calmly and replied:

"It won't be long."

"Actually, based on my understanding of those JD elements, the speed at which trust between them and local residents collapses should be measured in minutes."

"The residents have had their hands on the guns for over 30 minutes now."

"Get your men out, begin maneuvering toward the target area, and prepare to isolate!"

"understand!"

At the same time, inside a house in the target area.

Ayoubi sat opposite Faisal with a solemn expression, while the original owner of the house stood tremblingly in a corner away from them.

There was no gun in his hand anymore - in fact, the gun was indeed given to him, but the moment the door closed, the real JD elements immediately confiscated all the weapons.

This is an obvious "distrust", but the master has no way to deal with such distrust.

He could only obey the arrangement and listen to the conversation of the two big men with fear and nervousness.

".The situation has deteriorated beyond our control."

"The other party's plan is quite insidious. They distributed weapons to residents and even asked residents to stand guard."

"This not only gives your friends the ability to rebel against us, it also gives them the opportunity to rebel against us."

"Do you really believe they will obey you completely and trust you completely?"

"Do you really believe that they can carry out your orders to the letter even when faced with a life-and-death test?"

"No, that's impossible."

"Believe me, this is just their first step."

"Next step, they will definitely claim that there are JD elements in our city and call on all civilians to take up arms against their 'common enemy'."

"And once this information is released, do you know what will be waiting for us?"

After hearing his words, Feisal was silent for several seconds, and finally said:
"We're going to get a backlash."

"If the permanent residents here do not resist, then they will be regarded as our comrades and suffer indiscriminate attacks."

"And if they resist, government forces will attack them from both inside and outside."

"But, all this is based on the premise that they already know our whereabouts - is this possible? Can they accurately locate our location?"

"Why is it impossible? If we can't determine our location, what's the point of their martial law measures?!"

Ayubi stood up suddenly and pointed at the owner of the house in the corner and said:

"These friends of yours have completely exposed us. Even if they can't determine which buildings we are in, as long as they mark an area and block it off in blocks, the result will be the same for us."

"They will artificially create a paradox of choice, and they will artificially plunge us into endless suspicion and suspicion."

"And once that suspicion arises, it can never go away."

"Like now. We took away his weapons, but can we take away his legs?"

"He's going to run out! He's going to run out with his family."

"By then, we will be the only ones left here!"

"Faisal, now is the time for you to make a decision."

"Stay here and wait for death, or find a way to rush out?!"

After the words fell, Faisal's eyes became a little cold.

He knew that he really had no choice now.

If you don't leave, you will be greeted by an unprecedented and absurd failure!

"go!"

He spoke.

"Kill everyone here and retreat!"

His tone was extremely cold, but he forgot that there was another person who had "lost trust" standing in this room.

The moment his words came out, the owner of the house immediately moved.

He threw himself at the gun beside him, trying to get the weapon back into his hand.

Unfortunately, Faisal's guards moved faster than he did.

"boom!"

One gunshot was followed by more gunshots.

Faisal picked up his rifle, pulled the bolt suddenly, and said:
"Come out——"

"boom!"

His voice was drowned out by the huge explosion, which tore the entire house into pieces.

Ashes.

No one in the whole house survived.

Until the moment before his vision was completely dark, Faisal didn't understand why the other party suddenly opened fire.
-
however.

At this time, in the command room of the Dongfeng Corps, Chen Chen was giving his new orders extremely calmly.

"Anywhere where there is gunfire, blow it up."

"Since these residents do not choose to surrender, they will be dead no matter what they choose."

"What we want is the rationality of public opinion, not really letting them live."

"Those who take in JD elements cannot have a second chance!"
