I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar

Two days later, the first batch of equipment needed by the Dongfeng Corps was in place, along with a mercenary team of two hundred people organized by Wood Ghost.

Although Mugui is considered a first-class mercenary group in the entire Mengka and even the entire Shan State, in fact, the quality of these people still makes Chen Chen shake his head.

Except for the eight-person elite combat team, all the other mercenaries looked lazy and careless. At a glance, their quality was not much better than that of the decisive allies that Chen Chen ran out of.

And this is already considered a high-quality existence among mercenaries.

At least they know the basics of coordination and have learned when to shoot and when not to shoot.

Don't think it's ridiculous. This alone is enough for most of the mercenaries here to train for three months.

Chen Shenfa didn't have too much hope for them, but since he wanted them to be effective, basic training still needed to be done.

Therefore, this work fell on Chai Sili. In exchange, the teaching materials on "river fighting" that Chen Chen had promised before were provided to Chai Sili free of charge.

Text version.

Want him to teach in person and teach by words and deeds?

Hey, let’s talk again.

While Mu Gui and Chai Sili's teams were training, Chen Chen was not idle either.

The attack plan on Xiaotianyuan Village immediately entered the discussion stage. The commanders of the three parties sat together and began to deduce the follow-up attack strategy based on the existing intelligence.

"The terrain of Xiaotianyuan Village is relatively simple. There is a flat basin of nearly 5 square kilometers and about two kilometers in the middle, surrounded by mountains, forming a natural barrier."

"If we want to launch an attack on the core area of ​​​​this base, we must first break through the outer defense line and complete the deployment on the mountains on the edge of the basin."

"But here's the problem. Nuokang has deployed multiple outposts outside the basin, and the control range reaches about 5 kilometers horizontally and vertically."

"As long as our large forces enter this range, they will inevitably be noticed."

"Nuokang had enough time to escape. Our manpower is simply not enough to complete the interception, and it is impossible to organize an effective pursuit."

"It's very, very troublesome. Beating the mouse is not the problem. How to surround the mouse and prevent it from running away is the biggest problem."

The speaker was the commander of the Wood Ghost, nicknamed Lao Zhu. Although his name was chosen casually, he was actually an experienced warrior and was not weak in commanding ability.

The opinions he puts forward can hit the nail on the head and hit the pain points directly.

After hearing his words, the jackal on the side also answered:

"Indeed, with the heavy firepower prepared by the shipwreck, there is no problem in destroying Nuokang's camp. 360 rounds of artillery shells are basically enough to destroy the main gathering area of ​​Xiaotianyuan Village."

"Coupled with the fact that we also have mortars and cloud bombs, the damage to light infantry units has been almost reached to the limit. After a round of fire coverage, the infantry advance will become very simple."

"The opponent's morale cannot be maintained. Once the battle begins, it will definitely be a one-sided situation."

"But here's the problem - we have enough firepower but not enough personnel."

"What if the other party realizes that it can't be beaten and runs away? What should we do? We can't stop it!"

After saying that, he and Lao Zhu looked at Chen Chen, waiting for his answer.

Chen Chen frowned, shook his head, and replied:

"I have thought about using fire to attack before, but the problem is that this area is too big. Once the fire ignites, it will immediately be beyond our control."

"It's impossible to dig fire breaks and it's impossible to extinguish the fire. In the end, the entire forest is burned down and it becomes an international incident. Then there is really no way to end it."

"A relatively reliable method is to remove all the sentinel points on the periphery at the same time - but there are too many uncontrollable factors in this plan. If we miss even one, the operation will fail."

Speaking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

No wonder the operation to capture Nuokang in the previous life was so difficult and failed three times in a row.

The position chosen by this idiot is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defensive strategy really emphasizes the fear of death.

Pushed back, the north was even planning to launch a drone air strike. If Naw Kang hadn't been frightened and wanted to cross the border from Myanmar to Laos, it's really not sure whether he could have been caught.

Looking at Jackal and Lao Zhu looking at each other, Chen Chen shook his head and continued:

"The key to the problem we are facing now is essentially only one, and that is: the place is too big and there are too few people to search."

"To solve this problem, there are actually only two directions we can choose."

"Or, reduce his living space and force him into the core area of ​​Xiaotianyuan Village."

"Either we have to add more people to increase the scope of our investigation and control."

"But it is basically impossible to add people. There are too many forces involved, and the subsequent distribution of interests will become very complicated, which is not conducive to unified command."

"So, the only feasible solution is to compress the living space."

"In addition to fire attacks, do you have any other options?"

Upon hearing Chen Chen's question, Jackal and Lao Zhu immediately fell into deep thought.

To be honest, if this kind of problem is really placed in the context of large-scale combat, it is actually not a problem at all.

We were surrounded by ten people. I just pulled the wall of people and swept them over. What can you do?

But now that the Dongfeng Corps has too few manpower, they can organize a forced search of the mountain, but once the opponent breaks through forcefully, the too weak defense line will be almost impossible to stop.

"Poison gas? Bray?"

Jackal asked.

"Poison gas is not enough, but you Chaisili can get it? Wanfeng Group can't get it anyway."

"As for the mines, they are basically useless. Unless they are air-dropped, the density cannot keep up, which means there is no mines."

The old pig immediately shook his head.

"What about communication suppression? Electronic jamming?"

"No, this thing simply solves the core problem - so what if you are caught by surprise? After the battle starts, Nuokang can still run."

Damn, it’s so hard.

Chen Chen let out a deep breath. He could now understand the mentality of people who had cockroaches in their homes.

Who can't kill a cockroach? But if you don't kill it on the spot, it will be very disgusting if it gets into any corner.

Because you don’t know when it will come out and whether it will crawl on your face while you are sleeping.

But to deal with cockroaches, you can at least do what the Tibetan Fox teacher said. Make some boric acid balls and let them eat them and then die in an invisible place. But Nuokang

Why?

Chen Chen suddenly realized.

"I understand."

"We're all thinking too narrowly."

After hearing his words, the other two people immediately looked at him.

"How to do it?"

“The fence doesn’t have to be physical, it can be psychological.”

Chen Chen continued:

"We always try to put a physical fence around him, but actually a mental fence is more effective."

"First of all, Xiaotianyuan Village is his biggest camp. No matter what, he can't give up casually. He must at least give it a try first."

"Second point, if he loses the fight, even if he wants to run, he must seek shelter in all directions."

"So, if we want to catch him, the focus is not on catching him, but on beating him!"

"What we have to do is suppress his asylum-seeking direction."

"We need to announce as soon as the fight starts that we will fight anyone who dares to take in Nuokang. Wherever Nuokang last appeared, as long as he is involved, we will put him on the list."

"No matter the cost, beat him to death."

"We obviously have this strength, because we represent the Northern Shan State, or even the Wa State, or Thailand. Under our oppression, it is impossible for the small forces in the entire Golden Triangle region to accept him."

"Then, he only has three choices left."

"Either find the Pamang Camp, the 505th Brigade, or hide and escape in your own shelter."

"But now there is a big background. Everyone thinks that Big Brother wants Nuo Kang to die - and maybe Big Brother really wants Nuo Kang to die."

"So, there is a high probability that Thailand will not mess with him. Maybe they are planning to take action themselves."

"The only one who can provide him with shelter is the 505th Brigade."

"And he doesn't know that the 505th Brigade has already switched sides."

"Nuokang is a cockroach, and the 505th Brigade is a boric acid pill."

"Contact Zhao Jialiang, he knows what to do!"

Jackal and Old Pig nodded together. After a moment, Old Pig suddenly asked:

"What if he didn't choose the 505th Brigade and actually ran away?"

Chen Chen smiled.

"If you can run away as a monk, can you still run away from the temple?"

"I didn't fight against Nuokang for fun. He has so many safe houses and so many little wives. After the main force is wiped out, I will immediately launch a sweep."

"I will wipe out all his resources and kill all the remnants. I will force him to eat the pill, because if he doesn't, he won't survive."

"Nuokang will definitely die, but he doesn't necessarily have to die directly on the battlefield."

"Cut off his roots and cut off his nutrients. If he doesn't die, he will die!"

"Okay, got it!"

Jackal slapped the table decisively and then said:

"Then let's just fight and kill his main force first!"

"I completely understand your thinking. Everyone else wants to behead Nuokang, but you want to break his body into pieces and let his head suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen!"

"That's right!"

Chen Chen replied firmly.

So, this seemingly simple and crude strategy was settled.

In the next few days, while waiting for the equipment to arrive, Chen Chen was not idle.

He organized a small team to go near Xiaotianyuan Village, completed an on-site reconnaissance, and then formulated refined offensive tactics based on the reconnaissance situation.

——

Yes, the strategy can be rough, but the tactics must be detailed.

As the reconnaissance situation continued to be fed back, and as the intelligence granularity continued to shrink, he mastered more and more details, even to the extent that he could play out conspiracies on paper.

The tactics have matured.

At the same time, the joint training between Chaisili and Mugui's troops was basically completed, and the two sides had basic tacit understanding and cooperation.

On March 1, the last batch of equipment of the Dongfeng Corps was in place.

It was 50 mules, donkeys and ponies collected from various places.

All the equipment was loaded onto the horses, and more than 200 people from the Dongfeng Corps were ready to go.

Before setting off, Chen Chen delivered an inspiring speech in accordance with the requirements of other parties.

——

But his speech actually consisted of only a few sentences.

"Our cause is just and our goal is clear!"

"Want to get rich? If you want, go for it!"

"Go and fight! Nuokang put everything he had there!"

"Kill him, and all honors and treasures will belong to you!"

After that, he waved his hand violently, and all the members boarded the boat and boarded the car.

This not-so-large team was divided into two groups, dragging out long waves along the Mekong River, splitting the waves and rushing down, and moving forward along the Mengyang Highway, carrying billowing dust and smoke.

The elite team on the ground will turn into the trail at Taping, then pass through Mengyu, and complete the rendezvous with the ship at Wan Pafu.

Here they will enter the final stages of preparation once the attack is launched.

Unstoppable!

At the same time, Xiaotianyuan Village.

Nuokang already knew the news of Weng Mi's death, and at this time he fell into an unprecedented confusion.

In less than a month, his generals died one after another, so unexpectedly that he couldn't even figure out why.

The only thing he knows is:

Some people want to kill themselves, and the other person is so arrogant that they want to kill themselves in the simplest and most brutal way.

This is a serious provocation to myself and a challenge to my status.

run?

Of course, running away is also an option.

However, the other party does not represent any official power. If he just runs away, how will he do business in the future?

At least, there has to be a fight first.

If you win, no matter how big the loss is, you can get back everything you lost before.

If he loses, he will at least have a way out and a chance to make a comeback!

So, he made a decision and ordered all troops to retreat and stick to Xiaotianyuan Village.

At this time, the only remaining leader, Zabo, was standing in front of him, reporting the latest information to him.

"The composition of the opponent's personnel has basically been determined. They are all Mengka's mercenaries."

"One of them is the Dongfeng Corps, the one who killed Sang Kang before."

"They are approaching us along the waterway and are expected to reach Wampafu in two hours."

"We were planning to launch a surprise attack there, but the ground troops from the other side arrived first - in armored vehicles."

"They established a defensive line first and pushed us back. It was very stable."

"We may have to retreat and defend first. Boss, if it doesn't work, why don't you leave first?"

Hearing Zhabo's words, Nuokang shook his head hard.

He crushed a pill, put it in front of his nose, took a deep breath, and then said:

"Since they dare to come, I have no reason to run away."

"They thought I would run away?! Who are they?!"

"We'll wait until we fight! We have 1,500 people and they only have 200!"

"No matter how you say it, the advantage is mine!"

"Xiaotianyuan Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Do they want to break in?"

"Then let's see if they have enough lives to fertilize my land!"
