Chapter 18 Ambush
It took the foursome several hours to finally tidy up the small building to the point where it was barely habitable. Lying on the bed that still smelled like musty, Chen Chen finally felt at ease.
The mercenary group is not completely on the right track, but at least it has a good start.
The first battle was a good one, and it fully demonstrated its characteristics. After that, Mugui should really pay attention to it. If there is another small order, he will also consider subcontracting it directly to a group of four-or the Dongfeng Corps.
This was definitely a day worth celebrating. Chen Chen bought food with his own money and cooked an authentic veterans' family dinner, which made the three of them burst into tears.
“This is so delicious!”
Bao Qi showed off three bowls of rice in a row until he could no longer stand, and then he finally put down his chopsticks.
"Is this a good call?"
Chen Chen was surprised.
You know, although he is a shareholder of Veteran BBQ, the dishes he cooks have always received the most complaints.
"It's really delicious, much better than what I cook at home."
Shi Dakai rarely agreed with Bao Qi's opinion, while Li Bang proved his position with practical actions - he finished five bowls of rice and the pot was almost scratched.
Chen Chen couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"It seems you haven't eaten any good pork. It's really hard on you."
In fact, speaking seriously, the food in northern Myanmar, especially the Kokang area, is similar to that in southwest China, but the main places are too poor, and the living standards of ordinary people are still at the level of China in the 1990s. It is good to be able to fill their stomachs. Well, naturally I won’t pursue the taste of the dishes too much.
No wonder they can taste the delicacies of mountains and seas even if they eat shredded chicken.
Before Chen Chen had time to sigh, Bao Qi spoke again.
"It would be great if I could bring my parents over in the future. They probably haven't eaten this dish much."
"Just stop talking."
Before he finished speaking, Li Gang interrupted him directly.
"After all, my father was a platoon leader in the National Democratic Front. It's impossible that he hasn't eaten this. My family has never eaten such good food in their lives. I don't know how they are doing now."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately became a little heavy.
Yes, the three of them ran away, but the family members were still brave.
At this time in 2009, the phone network in Kokang was not yet fully popularized and there was no way to contact them. The situation there was completely a black box for the three of them.
It was impossible not to worry, but what could they do?
If you go back rashly, you will definitely die.
Chen Chen sighed. He wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't.
What surprised him was that at this time, it was Shi Dakai who stood up.
"Stop saying things like this. I have also figured it out during this period. Whether we get out or not, the situation of the family is actually the same."
"What Chen Chen said before is wrong. Even if we stay there, we are not exchanging our lives for the lives of our families."
"As long as we die, our family members will also die."
"You may not understand Bai Zuocheng's style of doing things, but I know it very well."
When Chen Chen heard this, his heart trembled.
Indeed, Bai Suocheng could not leave any threat to himself.
If you expect him to kill one person and spare the whole family, you might as well expect Myanmar to agree to a decisive independence.
He nodded subconsciously, and the other two also came to their senses.
Bao Qi asked Shi Dakai in a teasing tone:
"Captain Shi, have you figured it out?"
Shi Dakai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Don't call me company commander, I'm just a shitty company commander."
"I've finally come to a realization. I was originally a top soldier, but Fireline promoted me to company commander to manage dozens of people. At that time, I should have known what it meant."
"I'm sorry brothers, if it weren't for Chen Chen, even the rest of us wouldn't be able to survive. Chen Chen, I'm older than you, so I can't call you brother like them, but today I will call you brother."
"Brother Chen! Thank you!"
"No need to say this!"
Chen Chen waved his hands quickly and replied:
"What's past is past. Let's work hard from now on. When the east wind picks up, it will be time for you to go home!"
"That's right! Our Dongfeng Corps will definitely be able to stand up!"
Bao Qi raised the Coke in his hand, and the others also raised their glasses. Under the moonlight, the wind gradually began to blow.
Early the next morning, Chen Chen's biological clock woke him up on time.
According to the arrangement, there are a total of two things to do today.
The first thing is to go to Menglang Temple to collect commission.
Wan Henai's reward was placed by the monks of Menglang Temple on behalf of the residents. The mission was over, but Mugui was not a middleman and had no obligation to collect it on his behalf, so he could only make the trip himself.
The other thing was to take back the two "Hell Cannons".
According to Bao Qi, the two cannons have shown signs of deformation after two rounds of firing, but after all, they have not yet been scrapped. They can be used twice if they are taken back and made up, so they cannot be wasted.
Chen Chen took the money to renew the lease of the pickup truck for three days - he originally planned to buy it directly, but when he asked about the price, he found that this junk thing actually cost 120,000 RMB.
If you can't afford it, you'll have to wait for the next mission.
For now, let's rent it.
After the car was packed, Chen Chen asked everyone to equip themselves with ammunition belts and bulletproof inserts. This was to allow others to adapt to the rhythm of armed combat, and secondly, to exercise their physical strength.
Carrying more than 30 kilograms of equipment is equivalent to a big sandbag. After one or two months of training, your physical strength can be greatly improved.
After everything was ready, it was easy to get in the car and set off. The air conditioner of the Hilux had already broken down, and the four of them were soaked with sweat in less than half an hour. Chen Chen also took the opportunity to observe the reactions of others.
Shi Dakai is as stable as ever - he may actually have some talent as a sniper.
Bao Qi was obviously very irritable, but he could also suppress his emotions, but it was possible that after a long period of suppression, there would be a crazy rebound.
As for the Li Gang?
He didn't seem to take it seriously at all, and this hard work had not touched his threshold at all.
fine.
Chen Chen nodded secretly.
The quality of this team is uneven, and everyone has their own characteristics, but fortunately, the team members complement each other and integrate in a unique way, and actually form a usable combat unit.
In that case, there is no need to consider substitutions, just strengthen training.
Train them to death and follow the standards of Devil Yue, the team in his previous life!
I don’t believe it. Is there anyone in this world who can’t practice?
An evil smile appeared on Chen Chen's face. Bao Qi glanced at it inadvertently and shuddered inexplicably.
He quickly turned his head and gripped his PKMS tightly.
He probably doesn't know yet that the most comfortable days he has lived will soon be over.
Half an hour later, the pickup truck arrived at Menglang Zen Temple in the northeast of Mengkha. The monks here had received the news in advance and were already waiting at the gate of the temple.
Looking at their respectful expressions from a distance, Bao Qi couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Hey, the monks in this world have always looked arrogant, now it's our turn to stretch our legs, right?
He was about to tell a few people about the allusion to the night cruise, but at this moment, Chen Chen's face suddenly changed.
"parking!"
"No. 1, turn the car sideways!"
"Everyone get out of the car and spread the alert!"
"No. 2, set up the machine gun at the hood tire position and aim at the main entrance of the temple!"
"No. 3, occupy the commanding heights in the southwest!"
"The situation is not right, there must be an ambush here!"
