Chapter 521 JDism Watch List
At night, outside Tabuka City, the Dongfeng Corps, which was ready to go, had completed its final inspection and rest.
According to the plan, they will first complete the clearing of a village closest to Tabqa in the Ressafa area, and then after occupying it, they will release news about "the Dongfeng Corps will carry out large-scale anti-terrorism operations in Raqqa Province."
At this time, he still didn't know that his mercenary team had been paid attention to by three forces at the same time, and each force wanted to put him to death.
——
Of course, not knowing does not mean that you are not prepared.
In fact, every combat plan of Chen Chen is based on the premise that "one's own whereabouts have been exposed and may face precision strikes from the air at any time."
Because this was originally part of the plan.
To get information about bin Laden, the Dongfeng Corps must be exposed.
Simply relying on a mouse-and-hide-and-seek strategy may allow them to "survive" smoothly in Syria, but it is absolutely impossible for them to develop and grow smoothly.
This is the risk they must take and the most difficult step they must take.
Sitting in the GAZ-2330 Tiger high-mobility armored off-road vehicle, Chen Chen gave a pre-mission briefing to other team members via radio.
".The mission this time is very simple."
"According to the intelligence provided by the Syrian police, several unidentified militants appeared in Abu Fatih, and they are likely to be members of the religious sect who fled during previous battles."
"They occupied the local mosque and controlled its religious personnel. At the same time, they also used the threat of force to steal enough food and water from the villagers to last for several days."
"Currently, they are still in the mosque, but according to police estimates, they will leave within today."
"Because they have started repairing the only truck used for material transportation in Abu Fatih Village, and it is very likely to be repaired within 4 hours."
"What we have to do is arrive in the village before they finish repairs and leave, conduct a raid on the mosque occupied by the militants, and quickly clear out all the militants."
"The other party possesses automatic rifles, general-purpose machine guns and other light weapons, as well as a small amount of homemade grenades and homemade explosives. They have basic military skills and have a high degree of cooperation."
"Based on this situation, I decided to send two 8-person teams to carry out offensive operations, led by Lin He and Yang Shu respectively."
"You need to make your own decisions, choose your own equipment, and complete the mission within the specified time."
"That's all the information above, is it clear?"
"clear."
"clear!"
The two people's replies came from the radio. Chen Chen nodded slightly and then continued:
"This mission is dangerous, but it is also a good exercise opportunity."
"Lin He, Yang Shu, organize your team members to protect themselves and pay attention to safety!"
"clear!"
The two answered again, and Chen Chen put down the radio and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at his expression, the white dog beside him asked a little teasingly:
"How is it? Do you feel like your daughter is getting married?"
Chen Chen smiled and replied:
"It doesn't mean that my daughter is getting married, but I do have the feeling that the apprentice I finally trained is about to go down the mountain and start a career."
"I'm worried because I'm afraid he'll die before he gets out of the battle, but I have to let go."
"That's right."
Bai Gou nodded in agreement, and then said:
"If the Dongfeng Corps wants to develop and grow, new blood must constantly replace the old blood."
"Speaking of which, it was only two years ago when we fought our first battle together."
"But now, our group can be considered old people."
"It's not enough for us to support you all the time. After all, we are a fighting force. Those who can fight will stay, and those who can't fight will leave. It's actually that simple."
"It's not simple at all."
Chen Chen shook his head and said:
"If it is a unit that does not need to actually enter the battlefield to fight, it is not a big deal whether to leave or to stay."
"But we are different. We are a mercenary group and we rely on war to make a living."
"There is no such thing as quitting in the mission. Those who survive can stay, and those who cannot stay will basically die."
"This is not called 'simple', it should be called 'cruel'."
"It's very cruel."
Bai Gou wiped the gun in his hand, removed the bullet and removed the receiver to observe the rifling. After confirming that the wear was not serious, he continued:
“And what’s even more cruel is that when our scale gets bigger and our number of people increases, you may not even be able to name the names of those who left.”
"It's quite sad to think about it, right? After all, in Pubei or even in Indonesia, even one casualty is a big deal for us."
"Once we do, serious injuries and deaths will become more frequent and more commonplace."
"We must use constant updates and iterations to ensure our combat effectiveness. We must constantly forget the past and focus on the future."
"Compassion does not control soldiers, this sentence is to a large extent what it means."
Hearing Bai Gou's words, Chen Chen looked at him in surprise.
After noticing the slightly emotional expression on his face, Chen Chen asked:
"You seem to be quite familiar with this process."
"Nonsense, can I not be familiar with it?"
The white dog rolled his eyes and replied:
"Don't forget, I watched the Lion Corps grow."
"I was only 16 when I first joined the Lion Corps, and I was 33 when I joined the Dongfeng Corps."
"In 17 years, too many people died around me."
"But except for the few who died when I just joined, the deaths of others have long lost their impact on me."
"Until our company commander died--By the way, do you still know the name of the captain of the Lion Corps?"
".Hu Bayi?"
"Hu Kaicheng."
".Sorry."
Chen Chen coughed and said.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. In two years, I will forget his name."
"But to be honest, your name, whether it's Chen Chen or Chenchuan, I will never forget it in my life."
"As for myself."
At this point, the white dog suddenly stopped.
After a long silence, he continued:
"Actually, my ideas are different from those of Shi Dakai and Lin He."
"They really want to do something big with you, and they really want to change the status quo that they can't stand."
"But I'm not that noble, my goal is very simple."
"That is, to follow you and leave my name, so as not to be like Hu Kaicheng, who died not long ago and was forgotten by everyone."
"Speaking of which, Captain, do you know what my real name is?"
"If I say I don't know, can you jump up and slap me?"
Chen Chen asked back with a hint of sarcasm.
"That's not the case - but you don't really forget it, do you?"
"Pa Yan."
Chen Chen answered casually.
The white dog immediately laughed, and his hands kept moving to quickly assemble the gun that had been checked, and he himself returned to his usual carefree appearance.
"Captain, if I die one day, please remember to put your real name on the tombstone."
"I will write an epitaph for you myself?"
Chen Chen said unhappily:
"Don't say such nonsense, what life or death. At least this time, I don't want anyone to die in Abu Fatih!"
At this time, the Dongfeng Corps' convoy had already arrived at the scheduled departure position two kilometers away from Abu Fatih Village. Without caring about continuing to teach Bai Gou a lesson, Chen Chen immediately led the team to get off the car.
Immediately afterwards, the 48-man team quickly deployed, arranged camouflage nets in an orderly manner, and built a temporary command post.
The high-power radio station was set up, the drone was launched, and the sentries spread out to the periphery for alert. The two teams responsible for the offensive mission, under the leadership of Yang Shu and Lin He, began to compare the specific offensive tactics and began to select the corresponding equipment.
After 20 minutes, all the team members were ready and began to move towards the target mosque in two batches, each riding in four pickup trucks.
Through the surveillance of the drone, Chen Chen clearly saw their every move.
Four vehicles stopped in the woods near the village 600 meters away from the mosque, and quickly set up camouflage and arranged snipers to occupy the commanding heights.
Yang Shu, who was originally a sniper, did not make any mistakes. He was very careful to set up camouflage for the snipers who stayed behind, and even set up trip mines in the direction of possible enemy attacks in front of the sniper position.
"UAV, identify the position of friendly snipers."
"Received, identified. There are new patrol personnel outside the south wall of the target building, pay attention to concealment."
"Understood, one new patrol personnel is added outside the south wall."
Yang Shu's voice was extremely clear on the radio.
After the drone operator warned, Lin He, the commander-in-chief, immediately adjusted the combat plan.
"Group 1 continues to move north, Group 2 stands by 400 meters to the west and launches an attack from the front."
"Demolition man, get ready, use the remote-controlled unmanned vehicle to synchronously blast the wall, and check the equipment."
"Received, the equipment has been checked and is in good condition."
"Understood. Observation No. 1, prepare to draw the route of the unmanned vehicle."
"Observation 1 received, start drawing the route of the unmanned vehicle. Difficult obstacle 1 is identified, coordinates X36200, Y27400, a pile of rocks; obstacle 2 that cannot be bypassed, the steps in front of the square."
"UAV, assist in providing an evasive route."
"UAV received, identifying."
"Obstacle No. 1 can be bypassed on the left, there is a slope on the right side of the square, but the slope is within the range of the enemy sentry."
After the situation report was completed, Yang Shu immediately ordered:
"Observer, pay attention to the movement of the unmanned vehicle, the drone command, synchronized attack."
"Understood, synchronized attack."
"The assault team is in place, 200 meters away, and can launch an attack at any time."
At this time, all combat personnel of the two groups have arrived at the designated position, and the battle is about to begin.
Chen Chen, who was standing in the temporary command post, finally showed some relaxation on his face after watching the two people commanding the whole process.
It must be said that after two years of exposure, the veterans of the Dongfeng Corps have indeed learned the essence of modern warfare.
If it were two years ago, when they were still the most ordinary mercenaries in Pubei, facing this situation, they would probably have to rush forward recklessly, using their own lives or the so-called "gun skills" to fight for a tragic victory.
But now, everything is different.
With Lin He's order, the attack began immediately.
Driven by the silent motor, the tracked unmanned vehicle quietly bypassed the pile of rocks and arrived at the steps of the mosque square.
With the cover of the steps, the unmanned vehicle moved to the right and slowly entered the range of the enemy's outer sentry.
At this time, the remote control detonator on the unmanned vehicle was ready, and the sniper team commanded by Yang Shu was ready to shoot.
"Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 up!"
In an instant, the two snipers fired at the same time.
The militants on the highest tower and the direction of the unmanned vehicle suddenly fell to the ground. Then, the unmanned vehicle operator pushed the push rod to the limit, and the unmanned vehicle tilted its head and rushed up the slope.
In 3 seconds, the unmanned vehicle arrived at the outer wall of the mosque and completed a series of actions such as bomb placement, detachment, and evacuation.
At the same time, the 12-man assault team had quickly shortened the distance to 50 meters.
"Boom!"
The explosion sounded, and the wall collapsed instantly.
The two teams attacked from the west and north at the same time, while the sniper locked the outer wall on the south side and knocked down the last sentry on the periphery.
"Bang, bang, bang--"
Under the silent night sky, gunshots rang out.
From the high-altitude perspective of the drone, Chen Chen clearly saw the whole process of the two teams' attack from outside to inside.
After breaking through the gap in the wall, the No. 1 and No. 2 scouts of the two teams did not stop at all, and immediately moved to the center of the square, and established full control of the square with crossfire.
Immediately afterwards, under the suppressive fire of the No. 3 supporter pointing at the main building of the mosque, the demolitionist followed closely behind the No. 4 shieldman and approached the building gate, while the No. 6 assistant was slightly away from the demolitionist and stood guard on the side of the gate, ready to clear the passage that could not be fully opened after a blast.
Such a configuration is different from the "orthodox" CQB combat, but putting the shieldman in the No. 4 position instead of the No. 1 position is extremely suitable for the current combat environment.
The shieldman provided sufficient cover for the demolitionist, which also allowed him to complete the blasting in less than 15 seconds and quickly throw out the smoke bomb for suppression.
Then, the demolitionist and assistant No. 6 exchanged positions, and the responsibilities of both sides were changed. The four team members immediately passed through the death hourglass area and began indoor combat.
The sound of gunfire and explosions rang out, and Chen Chen stared at the screen a little nervously, but in fact, he could not see the situation indoors without perspective.
He could only see the fire from the gunshots moving through the window of the mosque.
From south to north, from west to east, from the first floor to the second floor.
In 40 seconds, the fire had illuminated every window.
Then, Lin He's report came from Chen Chen's headset:
"All rooms have been cleared and safe."
"Four hostages were found in the cellar and have been controlled."
"Good!"
Chen Chen couldn't help clapping his hands. He looked at his watch again. It only took 3 minutes and 20 seconds from the beginning to the end of the attack!
And there were no casualties on his side!
It can be said that this was a big victory, and it was a big victory without his participation in the command!
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction and was about to order the team to evacuate, when his satellite phone suddenly rang.
He subconsciously picked up the phone, and it was Xiaoyu's voice on the other end.
"There is bad news and good news."
"Let me tell you the good news first."
"In view of the current complex situation, the US has decided to extend the ceasefire to two months later."
"Although their ceasefire with Syria does not affect the decision of the Free Army, it does give the Syrian government forces more time, and you also have more space to perform the tasks that need to be performed."
"The progress of the airport will be accelerated, and it is expected to be delivered within a month."
"Very good!"
Chen Chen immediately asked:
"What's the bad news?"
Xiaoyu on the other side took a deep breath and then replied:
"The bad news is that France has just included you and the Dongfeng Corps on the extremism observation list."
