I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar

Chapter 131 Crisis

"Big Bird, sail over there and see if the machine gun on the plane can be removed. Remember to refill it!"

"Yang Shu, follow us and go into the woods to be on guard."

"The others follow me and ambush them at the rapids."

"The 756th Brigade support is still about 15 kilometers away from us. We have to hold on for at least two more hours!"

"If we lose this battle, we will get nothing."

"If we win this battle, everyone will be rich!"

After confirming that the helicopter crashed, Chen Chen quickly issued an order, and everyone took action to find a suitable location to hide.

Although it is said that the body of water should be used as cover, in fact not everyone needs to hide in the water from the beginning. Chen Chen's plan is to launch an attack from the jungle first, and then find a way to use the shoals after the battle becomes fierce. Act as a cover and surround the assault boat to start the battle.

So, they still have to find suitable cover in the woods - especially suitable camouflage points.

Chen Chen checked all the way and kicked the ones that were poorly hidden or conspicuous. It took him five minutes to adjust everyone's positions. From the direction of the river, no abnormalities could be seen.

At the same time, Big Bird had arrived at the location where the helicopter crashed, and the voice of Yang Shu came from Chen Chen's headphones.

"Commander, the machine gun is useless and cannot be dismantled. The barrel is damaged. It seems to have been hit by a bullet and cannot be used."

"Forget it if you can't use it."

Chen Chen was a little regretful, but not too disappointed.

After all, after falling from such a height, if the weapon system is not broken, it is good luck, and if it is broken, it is normal.

However, just as he finished speaking, Yang Shu spoke again.

"But the rockets on this plane don't seem to have damaged the regiment commander. Do you want to remove them?"

"What the hell?!"

"What rockets? They actually have rockets installed?!"

Chen Chen was shocked. He never expected that Nuokang could be so arrogant.

Let’s not talk about the armed helicopter modified by Skylark. After all, this type of helicopter has been modified in various countries, and it is also very popular among some groups that do not have the procurement qualifications of Wuhan Direct.

Adding a rotating machine gun or a small cannon to it is considered routine operation, but rockets? !

The most famous aviation rocket in the world now is the old American Hydra 70, also known as the Hydra 70mm rocket. The most classic combat scenario of this thing is to install it on an Apache or Longbow Apache, and then attack it Shooting at the terrorists standing on top of the mud houses.

If you have played a game called Medal of Honor, you will definitely remember that scene deeply - of course, that scene does represent the performance characteristics of aviation rockets.

The accuracy is relatively poor, but the range is lethal, the distance is long, the number is large, and it is more economical than missiles

But the problem is that most of the time you can only see it in the regular army aviation units of various countries.

Drug lords use rockets? What about bullshit?

Not to mention the aiming system is difficult to get this thing, it’s hard to just buy it, right?

"Yes, there are definitely rockets. I can't understand what's written on it."

"Big Bird, come and pick me up!"

Chen Chen decisively issued the order. The distance of a few hundred meters was not too far. Five minutes later, he had arrived at the crashed helicopter.

The helicopter crashed directly on the edge of the shallows and woods on the shore. The water depth was less than 50 centimeters. All the passengers in the plane were dead, and one even hung on a tree.

However, they did not escape the fate of being re-shot.

The helicopter itself is actually quite complete.

——

In fact, there is nothing particularly strange about this.

Helicopters are different from fixed-wing aircraft. If an accident occurs, as long as the rotor is not completely interrupted, the impact force of the crash will be greatly reduced due to spin.

There are many cases in the United States of pilots surviving Black Hawk crashes. In some cases, losing power and falling from an altitude of thousands of meters, waiting close to the ground for the rotor speed to reach the standard and then pulling up can even ensure a smooth landing of the aircraft.

Chen Chen did not ignore the corpses, but followed the guidance of the poplar tree and looked at the rocket nest on the side of the helicopter.

"Fuck, Marat 155H! SNEB!"

He couldn't help shouting.

At first, he thought the rockets Yang Shu was talking about were something like the S-8KOM from Lao Maozi, or at least a modified version.

But unexpectedly, Nuokang actually used the standard version!

This thing can be said to be a classic modification scheme for the Skylark helicopter. This weapon mounting scheme can be seen on most military versions of the SA316.

It seems that the relationship between Nuokang and the military of various countries is more subtle and complicated than Chen Chen expected.

Chen Chen circled the helicopter, trying to restart the circuit.

But unfortunately, although the fall was not serious, the helicopter's electronic system was damaged after all. Perhaps one of the main cables was interrupted.

Such a fault cannot be repaired in a short time.

What a pity

Not every rocket is 107 fire, and not every rocket can be fired with an open flame or a dry battery.

The SNEB rocket is powered by a pure electric shock ignition system, and a series of safety measures are designed on the primer. Not only does it require electricity, but the ignition protocol also requires a pre-start program to control it. If the helicopter does not have electricity, there is really nothing you can do.

He shook his head and said:

"It's useless - at least not."

"After this battle is over, we will find a way to dismantle it and repair it."

"It would be best to take the helicopter away with us. If it can be repaired, we will be really prosperous."

Chen Chen's words are not true at all. In northern Myanmar, if any force acquires a helicopter, and it is a helicopter with a weapon system, then the status of this force cannot be said to be greatly improved. It should be a straight line. Soaring.

Perhaps the only problem is how to convince other major forces to allow it to keep this helicopter.

——

But with the current relationship between the Dongfeng Corps, there is no problem in dealing with other people.

After watching the helicopter, Chen Chen checked it one last time, collected all the guns and ammunition and took them away. After confirming that there were no other supplies, he returned to the scheduled ambush location with Big Bird.

And less than 5 minutes after they returned, reports of enemy traces came out from the Yangshu area where they had gone out to conduct reconnaissance.

"People are coming."

The voice of the poplar tree is very low.

"10 ships, 6 small speedboats, 4 armed cargo ships, at least 100 people, about 800 meters away from me and 1,500 meters away from the ambush position."

"There are also people on the shore. I can't see the number clearly. They are 200 meters away from me and 1,000 meters away from the ambush position."

Advance by land and water, and use skirmishers to conduct reconnaissance.

It seems that after the helicopter crashed, the other party has also increased its vigilance.

This is a bit troublesome.

The ambushing Dongfeng Corps was in a dilemma. If the targets on the shore were destroyed first, it would mean that all of our ambush would be exposed.

And if you don't fight and put them at a closer distance, the risk will increase greatly.

The difficulty of ambush battles suddenly increased, which also led to the wavering of higher-level strategies.

The strategy has entered the decision-making zone. Chen Chen must decide whether to escape immediately before the opponent continues to advance to the fighting distance. He bets on his luck and bets that the assault boat can escape from the speedboat in the next river with extremely harsh hydrological environment. Despite the pursuit, he still stood firm and completely defeated the pursuers.

"Captain, what should I do?"

White Dog with a machine gun asked over the intercom.

"We can't defeat the jungle guerrillas. We have to protect the ship."

"If we want to fight, we must first deal with the opponent's ground troops, but we have too few manpower and the killing efficiency is too low."

Chen Chen frowned after hearing his words.

He subconsciously stood up and looked at the surrounding terrain.

The information on the picture appeared in Chen Chen's mind as if it were alive, and at this moment, a genius-like idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

Yes, ground troops must be dealt with.

Yes, the Dongfeng Corps has too few manpower and its killing efficiency in the jungle is too low.

But the problem is that killing does not necessarily have to be done with people or guns.

Or taking a step back, to deal with ground troops, it is not necessarily necessary to rely on "killing".

Chen Chen spread out the map and carefully observed the terrain. Combined with the GPS in his hand, he made a surprising discovery.

There are actually two forks in the rapids area where they are located, one leading northwest to the north, and one leading southeast to Jingdong.

In the middle is a densely forested triangular area, covering an area of approximately 5 square kilometers.

If the enemy's ground troops want to get close to their own side and reach the rapids area where their own side is ambushed, they must cross this triangular area.

Their travel time in this area will be at least 30 minutes.

How long does it take for a fire to ignite with a large amount of accelerant and strong westerly winds?

The two large barrels of oil I took from the oil tanker were useful.

At that time, I was really just worried about running out of fuel, but as soon as I said it, I also had a hidden thought in my heart.

If nothing can be done and there is really no way out, we will set fire to the mountain.

Now, things are actually more favorable.

He doesn't need to burn a large area, he just needs to take advantage of the west wind to burn this triangle area.

No longer hesitating and making a decisive decision, Chen Chen immediately ordered:

"Shorty, Big Bird, take two people and carry the oil drum!"

"Go 500 meters north, then set fire in the north-south direction with the 500-meter position as the center!"

"Use all the oil to ensure the fire starts as quickly as possible!"

After hearing his words, everyone was stunned subconsciously.

But then, everyone immediately felt the madness, boldness, and ingenuity of this plan!

How long does it take for a forest fire to start and spread?

According to data, in the initial stage, that is, the stage when Mars begins to spread, it takes at least 15 minutes to develop from a small cluster of Mars to a flame visible to the naked eye.

It takes at least 30 minutes for the flames to develop into an observable fire.

——

However, after the fire began to spread, the progress of the fire became unstoppable.

In just a few minutes, it can grow into a fire large enough to consume any vegetation!

With the support of wind, the fastest fire spread speed can reach more than 10 kilometers per hour, and if it enters the deflagration stage, it can even reach 30 kilometers per hour.

Now, with the support of two large barrels of oil, the fire can skip the initial stage and development stage and enter the violent stage.

After the enemy enters, there is no time to react, and they will be involved in the fire!

Once they are involved in the fire, the ground offensive will be completely useless, and everyone will be forced back into the river.

This is the regiment leader's plan - he may not intend to use fire attacks to achieve any results, but he can indeed use this method to build an insurmountable wall on the ground.

No one raised any further questions. Big Bird and Shortfoot took the oil drums and headed north. In just a few minutes, Chen Chen saw from a distance that thick smoke was coming from deep in the woods.

"Yang Shu, report the enemy's location!"

Chen Chen said in a low voice.

"The enemy has entered the rapids area and is approaching our ambush position."

"About 600 meters from the ambush position, not accurate."

enough.

It takes them a lot of time to cover this 600-meter distance.

The fire that started was enough to stop them on the river beach.

Chen Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and issued the last order before the battle:

"The assault boat docked and smoke bombs were thrown forward, blocking the direct view of the river!"

"Everyone is ready for battle and ready to face the enemy!"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Nuokang's confidant general, most capable assistant, and leader of the armed forces, Sangkang, was standing on the deck of the armed freighter, observing the movements ahead with a telescope.

He looked calm on his face, but he was extremely angry in his heart.

Miao Ang is his subordinate, the subordinate he brought out single-handedly and who cares about his brothers.

The two of them specialized in doing dirty work from the beginning. At the most difficult time, they only had a gun and a few bullets in their hands. They killed several poor people and only got a mouthful of food. Later, they finally achieved a record and followed the right path. People finally make life a little better.

——

However, at this time of great success, at this time of great promise, Miao Ang died just like that.

He died inexplicably and silently.

And the person who killed him is still at large.

Therefore, Sang Kang must come here in person, and he must keep the murderer behind.

Not just for the ship, not just for the cooperation with the 505th Brigade.

He wants revenge.

Sang Kang let out a sigh of relief and put down the telescope in his hand.

At this moment, the four armed cargo ships had gone around the bend of the river, and the two speedboats that had gone out had arrived near the helicopter crash site.

The report came through the headphones, and the distant river was filled with smoke that was obviously artificially released.

The enemy is there.

"Everyone prepare!"

"Those bitches are right up ahead!"

"They only have one ship, don't be afraid, just rush on!"

Sang Kang gritted his teeth, turned and walked towards the cabin, preparing to enter the safe house.

No matter how angry he is, he will not be irrational enough to take the lead.

After all, your life is very valuable.

——

However, the moment he turned around, he suddenly caught a streak of smoke out of the corner of his eye.

"RPG!!!"

A hoarse roar came from the earphones, and then the adjutant threw him down.
