It was the first time for Liu Dazhi and the others to be on an official battlefield. They had participated in military exercises jointly organized by various military regions before, but those were just drills. What was a drill? It was just a rehearsal of pre-set scenes. All the battle deployments and plans were basically in a semi-transparent state. Where the enemy troops were going and how many routes they would take were basically known.
But now, they were all stragglers who had separated themselves from the organization and the army. They were a vanguard team separated from the main force and the logistics system. They had no logistical supplies, no frontline guides, and no support from the air, land, and sea systems. All they had was a piece of information that Jiang Cheng had just received that he could not verify. He could not even confirm the authenticity of this piece of information.
Jiang Cheng frowned deeply. This was one of the few extremely difficult missions he had encountered since he joined the army. They did not have any backup forces or military deployments. They did not have any action plans, and they did not have much time left. Although they were in the south and the weather was hot, there was not much difference between four o 'clock in the afternoon and eight o' clock in the evening in this vast virgin forest. The towering trees had blocked all the sunlight from the sky.
Du Yuan said solemnly, "Little Jiang, we must come up with a combat plan immediately. Otherwise, it will be too difficult for us to complete such a difficult mission with just the few of us. Our ability is limited. We must come up with a complete strategy!"
Xu Aiguo, Liu Dazhi, and the others also looked like they were about to face a great battle. They were extremely nervous. They stroked the submachine guns in their hands and the grenades on their waists. The blood in their bodies was flowing in their veins. They seemed to have smelled the smoke brought by the explosion of artillery shells in the air. It was a familiar smell, a familiar scene.
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment. In this vast mountain, there was only one one-way road for vehicles to pass. If the enemy wanted to rush to the front headquarters from the rear, they would have to pass through this road unless they had an attack helicopter. But even if they did, the enemy would not dare to fly a plane through the mountain with smoke, because they only needed a cheap surface-to-air missile from the Kachin Independence Army to kill them.
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Old Du, you and Little White are responsible for operating the tank. Xu Aiguo is responsible for intercepting the fire in the front. Dazhi is responsible for firing from the left. Little Zhao, you two are responsible for attacking from the right. I will be responsible for attacking from the back. No matter what, we must trap the enemy on this narrow road within a hundred meters. Old Du, when the time comes, aim and fire. Within three shots, you must destroy the morale of the enemy at the front and rear of the convoy.
Du Yuan and the others nodded in agreement. Although they were few in number, they did not lack firepower at all. In fact, it could be said that they were very powerful. Before jumping, Xu Aiguo and the others threw two rocket launchers and eight artillery shells from the Y-20. In addition, each of them was equipped with a submachine gun with a capacity of more than 50 rounds, a dozen magazines, and thousands of bullets. Just these things alone were enough to defeat a company of government troops.
Of course, that was not all. Jiang Cheng and the others were also equipped with ten grenades, a Type-92 pistol, and two magazines. They even had a functioning China -made Type-79 tank with 39 rounds and two light and heavy machine guns. Just the 500 bullets of the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun alone was enough to destroy a convoy. There was also a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun with 2,000 bullets. Just this firepower alone was enough to kill a company of government troops.
After the tasks were arranged, everyone began to prepare. First, everyone checked the guns in their hands to see if there were any problems. It would not be good if they jammed at a critical moment. Then, they reloaded the magazines, checked the various functions of the tank, and loaded the machine guns. After everything was done, Jiang Cheng and the others took their positions and waited for the arrival of the enemy.
Time passed, and night began to fall. Two hours later, the sun officially set, and the entire forest was instantly plunged into darkness. Today's weather was sunny and cloudless, but just as night came, the sky began to gather with dark clouds. Even Jiang Cheng, who was hiding under a tree, could feel the gloomy atmosphere.
"A storm is coming!"
Xu Aiguo, who was familiar with jungle operations, muttered. He was retired from the field army and had participated in the Yunnan Border Police Force's anti-drug operation. He had fought with drug traffickers in the tropical jungle, so he was very familiar with the climate and environment of the tropical jungle. As long as the clouds gathered in the sky, it would not be long before there would be heavy rain.
Xu Aiguo gently said to the microphone on his collar, "Captain, the storm is coming soon. Should we take shelter from the rain first?"
Jiang Cheng sternly scolded, "Shelter from the rain? A storm is coming, and the enemy will also speed up. Everyone, get ready for battle. The enemy will come soon, they will!"
When the team members saw that Jiang Cheng's tone was so determined, no one dared to say anything more. Now the commander of the team was Jiang Cheng, and all actions must be under his command. Otherwise, this operation could not be carried out.
Sure enough, just as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the sound of car engines came from not far away in the forest. Listening to the sound, it was obvious that there were more than four vehicles coming. Just the noisy engine sounds alone indicated that there were at least a dozen vehicles.
Not long after, everyone saw a row of smoke billowing toward them. In the front was a large Dongfeng truck made in China, and the back of the truck was filled with soldiers. Behind the Dongfeng truck was a mountain off-road military vehicle made in Germany. Although the whole body had been painted with the logo of the government army, the strong flavor of Germany could not be hidden.
One, two, three. Liu Dazhi, who was on standby on the left side, counted carefully. There were seven Dongfeng trucks and six off-road jeeps. Each Dongfeng truck was full of soldiers, and each vehicle carried 40 soldiers. In this way, there were 280 soldiers in seven vehicles. After careful calculation, Liu Dazhi was shocked.
The people of Merica had put in a lot of effort. They had sent a battalion of troops to protect these officers. It seemed that there was indeed a high-ranking official in one of the jeeps. Otherwise, how could the military send so many troops to protect them?
Liu Dazhi whispered to the microphone, "Brother Jiang, there are a lot of people. There are as many as 300 people. What should we do? There is a big gap in strength."
Just now, Jiang Cheng had also silently counted the number of motorcades and soldiers in his mind. If he didn't count, he wouldn't know, but when he did, he was shocked. A small country like Myanmar actually sent so many people to protect this senior general. It seemed that this person was most likely the brother-in-law of the head of the government.
Jiang Cheng reprimanded Liu Dazhi and said, "What should we do? Everyone, listen to my command and get ready to fire. Old Du, have you aimed? "
"I have already loaded the shells. My and Little White's hands are almost calloused. We are ready to fire at any time!" Old Du said with a smile.
Jiang Cheng said, "Good. Now the countdown starts. We will fire in five seconds. Five, four, three, two, one, fire!"
"Bang!"
A loud sound suddenly came from the woods. The Dongfeng truck at the front of the convoy was hit by a 105mm shell. In an instant, it turned into ashes. The 40 soldiers and two government soldiers sitting in the driver's seat were buried in the sea of fire.
The 105mm rifled cannon of the Type-79 tank was powerful, accurate, long-lived and easy to replace. This 1984 Type-79 tank produced by Northern Industries had just undergone barrel replacement and body maintenance at the military factory in Linjiang. Its performance was stable, and it was equipped with a fin-stabilized armor-piercing, armor-piercing and armor-shattering rounds.
To deal with this Dongfeng truck, Du Yuan of course chose the most effective armor-shattering shell. An armor-shattering shell instantly turned the Dongfeng truck and the 40 soldiers on it into ashes. After the shot, the shell fell into the shell. Little White immediately threw the shell aside and picked up another armor-shattering shell and loaded it. At this time, the armor-shattering shell was obviously more useful than the armor-piercing and armor-piercing shell. It could deal the most damage to the enemy.
After the shell was loaded, Du Yuan immediately adjusted the focus and pulled the bolt. The second scorching armor-shattering shell was instantly fired and landed on a Dongfeng truck at the back of the convoy. It was another tragedy. More than 40 soldiers were instantly killed.
Nearly 100 people were engulfed by the heat wave and fire brought by the shell. They struggled, wailed, and begged for mercy. All of this was seen by Jiang Cheng and the others who were lying in ambush. However, this was not the time to be soft-hearted. Kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself. Jiang Cheng and the others only had a total of seven people. There was no way they could fight the enemy head-on. It was basically no different from courting death.
There were 300 people armed with machine guns, cannons, RPGs, and anti-aircraft missiles. On the other hand, there were only seven people on Jiang Cheng's side. If they were to really fight head-on with the enemy, Jiang Cheng could basically dig a hole and bury himself. Anyone with even the slightest bit of military knowledge would know that such a battle would lead to a tragic ending.
