Chapter 4 Running away
Chen Chen couldn't stay with this shabby alliance for another day.
After returning from the battlefield, they received "heroic" treatment, and Bai Suocheng even came forward to commend the company commander in person.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this so-called "reward" is actually just perfunctory.
If you win a battle, you won't be promoted or paid, you'll just get a few words of verbal praise, and you won't even hold a celebration meeting. Is this a reward?
This clearly means blocking the news.
What's more serious is that Chen Chen's company has not added new recruits and has no intention of integrating into other companies.
Just throw you into the barracks, wear you down, and arrange for other troops to watch at the same time.
The allies who have never read history and don't know a few Chinese characters may not understand what this means, but Chen Chen is very knowledgeable.
This was about to kill the donkey. The reason why they didn't do it was because they hadn't figured out how to kill the donkey yet.
Send it to the butcher, or kill it yourself?
If you were to kill yourself, would you kill it with one knife, or would you find a way to slowly bleed it out?
This is not an easy decision to make, and the benefits must be distributed well.
Chen Chen knew that this was his only chance. If he couldn't seize this window of opportunity to escape, then he would probably not be able to leave.
So, on a night when defense was lax, he quietly gathered all four surviving people.
At this time, he already knew that the company commander's surname was Shi, and his name was Shi Dakai. Of course, it had nothing to do with the famous Shi Dakai. On the contrary, among the soldiers Chen Chen had dealt with, Shi Dakai was considered quite cowardly and stupid. .
When he stood in front of Shi Dakai and proposed to run away with his brothers, Shi Dakai's reaction was one of horror.
"Why are you running? Why are you thinking of running? Are you going to rebel?"
"I'll pretend you haven't said this, and never say it again in the future!"
"It must have been an accident this time. The commander won't make fun of our lives casually - hasn't he already explained it to us?"
"Your marksmanship is very good, and you will definitely be able to stand out in the future. Didn't General Bai praise you this time? If the situation hadn't been tense, he would have commended you. Don't worry, just wait."
Chen Chen rolled his eyes and did not blame Shi Dakai for his ignorance.
"What are you waiting for? Do you really have no idea what the situation is now? We have been abandoned a long time ago! We have been abandoned!"
"The person who should be dead is alive. Do you know how much trouble this will cause above?"
"No, we are all fighting heroes, how could they."
"Company commander, it's not us, it's Chen Chen."
Someone on the side interrupted Shi Dakai.
"Yes, without him, none of us would be able to survive. The Burmese army is just trying to kill everyone. There is something wrong with this matter itself."
"Do you really think it's all your fault? General Bai. General Bai just chose you and pushed him out! The credit should be Chen Chen's!"
"Chen Chen, I'll go with you."
"I'm leaving too! Company commander, let's go! If Chen Chen can save us, he will never harm us!"
Except for Shi Dakai and Chen Chen, the other two people in the four-man team had already been impressed by Chen Chen - not only because of his marksmanship that far exceeded the average level of the alliance, but more importantly because of the fact that he showed it in a dead place. His calmness, alertness and military qualities definitely do not belong to this land.
They even discussed it privately and felt that with Chen Chen's ability, he was enough to be a brigade commander, not to mention a company commander.
Therefore, they did not intend to question Chen Chen's decision at all.
Others expressed their opinions one after another, and Shi Dakai became visibly panicked.
He wanted to give some advice, but found that no one cared about his opinion.
So, he had no choice but to use his last resort.
"Think about your family. What would they do if you ran away?"
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Yes, except for Chen Chen, all four of them have family members and parents.
If they become deserters, it is conceivable that Bai Suocheng will take revenge on their families.
This seems to be a dilemma, and at least in many movies, it will be driven as the core of the conflict.
But in Chen Chen's opinion, no.
He said calmly:
"Staying here means exchanging your own life for the lives of your family. If one of you dies, you will suffer the consequences."
"Run out. If he really dares to retaliate, then we will find an opportunity to fight back. We will pay with blood, no loss, no gain."
"If they don't dare retaliate, it's our fault."
"Choose. Those who don't want to leave, stay. I won't tell you where I'm going, and don't report it mindlessly."
"Now, vote."
As soon as the words fell, the other two people immediately raised their hands.
"Chen Chen is right. If you leave, you will at least have a chance to take revenge. If you stay here, your death will be in vain. You must leave!"
"Besides, my father is not someone to be trifled with. If you want to take revenge on him, you have to pay at least a few bucks."
"That's right, I can't control that much. I have to leave first, and then I'll find a way to get them out."
The opinions were unified, and only Shi Dakai was left.
Chen Chen looked at him and said:
"You have no choice."
Shi Dakai sighed and replied:
"You guys go away. I won't say anything. I'll just pretend I didn't see it."
Chen Chen shook his head.
"No, the conditions I just mentioned are not for you. I can trust them, but I can't trust you."
"We are all leaving, so we are leaving you alone. In one sentence, if you don't leave, you will die."
Chen Chen's heart was as cold as a fish-killing knife. He would never let Shi Dakai, a surrender element, escape his sight.
Yes, it is possible that what he is saying now is sincere.
But what happens after he leaves? How many hours can he carry it?
Maybe he leaked the secret without even leaving the military camp.
Shi Dakai looked at Chen Chen in astonishment and finally nodded.
"Then let's go."
A plan was drawn up, and late the next night, the four people walked through most of the camp and stole the weapons they needed from the gun storage.
Because this time was in a "state of war" between the Kokang and the Burmese army, gun and weapon management had been relaxed by more than one level, so their actions encountered little resistance.
The process was like child's play. One person attracted the attention of the warehouse manager, and another person knocked him out from behind. Then he sat on the warehouse manager's seat before the patrol guard came over. When the guard asked, he said that the warehouse manager had gone to the toilet. After a while, he was gone. return.
The key is that this is really the best reason, because the warehouse manager will really do this.
Be brave, allies, with such qualities, who will lose if you don’t lose?
Chen Chen had no time to sigh. He was surprised to find that there were actually two brand-new SVDs in this shabby and shabby gun library!
That's right, it's SVD, not a replica of the 79 sniper.
The original SVD is much more accurate than the 79 sniper, mainly because it uses special 7N1 and 7N14 bullets. Although they are both 7.62 mm bullets, compared with ordinary R bullets, this kind of bullet can make the SVD shoot better. The spread shrinks dramatically.
Chen Chen didn't know who owned these two guns and why they appeared here, but there was no doubt that they had to go along.
Although he could not find special ammunition at the scene, he felt that he would not have too many opportunities for ultra-long-range sniping. Most battles would be limited to a few hundred meters, so ordinary R ammunition would be enough.
Now in northern Myanmar, whether it is Type 53, Type 58, or PKM, it is very common to find some R ammunition. There is no need to worry about insufficient ammunition.
After taking it out and quickly putting it on his back, Chen Chen rummaged through the box and checked it. Unfortunately, he couldn't find the special ammunition.
But I couldn’t ask for more.
In 10 minutes, everyone’s backpacks were filled with ammunition and grenades, and they also picked up several sets of the same brand-new individual soldier communication system-throat microphone!
It’s also a good product!
Looking at the Russian text on it, Chen Chen finally knew where the two SVDs came from.
"Have you finished taking them all?"
"Finished!"
Others murmured in reply.
"Then let's go!"
After helping the warehouse manager lie down on his seat, the group of people evacuated along the same route. After arriving at the center of the camp, they took advantage of the changing of guards and escaped from the military camp without any danger.
The military camps of the Allied Forces were not originally managed in a closed manner - a considerable number of soldiers had to farm, sell small commodities, and mine in mining factories when they were not fighting. How could a closed management work?
Therefore, even if Bai Suocheng specifically stated "strict supervision", it would not be difficult for Chen Chen, an old special operations veteran who was proficient in infiltration and reverse infiltration.
Half an hour later, they had already run two kilometers in the forest, and the military camp behind them finally became chaotic.
Sirens, gunshots, roars rang out, and lights went up.
Shi Dakai followed Chen Chen worriedly and asked:
"We were discovered. Where are we going now? What are we going to do?"
Chen Chen sighed.
"What can we do? We have neither capital nor identity. It is impossible for us to cross the border to China."
"You can't do anything, but at least you have to run boldly first."
After a slight pause, he continued:
"But at least we still have guns."
"Let's go to Shan State first, then go to Monkha, and let's become mercenaries!"
