Chapter 356 Touching the Corpse
Chen Chen didn't mean to impulsively kill the leader of MPRI without any consideration. In fact, after confirming with Xiaoyu, he had already obtained at least three key pieces of information.
The first is that this man named Bumblebee is not a small character who comes from anywhere. Being able to register with Xiaoyu means that he has an important position in MPRI's Indonesian layout. Eliminating him can speed up the disintegration of one's own side. The value of the penetration of the United States and JD forces in Indonesia is far higher than the political cost Xiaoyu and others have to bear.
After all, it was the other party who made the first move this time, and after that, he came up with excuses that even a fool could not hold up in an attempt to get over it. Even the top brass of the military would not be able to use this to reverse the situation. At most, it would only allow the president to give up the extra advantage he should have gained.
But now, the president has gained enough advantages, and he is not inferior to him at all.
The second one is to consider the survival and development of the Dongfeng Corps itself.
The Dongfeng Corps suffered heavy losses in this operation, killing half of its effective forces in one battle, and there were even two casualties. Under such circumstances, leaving the culprit unpunished was simply not enough to quell the surging anger within.
Of course Chen Chen can use his own authority to say something absolutely correct like "putting the overall situation first", and others will definitely accept his explanation.
But no matter what, if the idea is not clear, a team cannot develop stably for a long time.
After all, the Dongfeng Corps is a violent organization, and violent organizations are naturally bound to the attribute of revenge.
Don't think that it's stupid for those gangsters to kill whole families at every turn and get into fights over trivial matters. In fact, this is the only correct way of doing things for them to survive.
Because every provocation is to test the bottom line, and every conflict is to use the threshold effect and the broken window effect to gradually disintegrate your will.
Chen Chen cannot make even one compromise, because as long as there is a first time, there will be countless times.
Thirdly, regarding intelligence issues, he really doesn't need Bumblebee and his lieutenants.
Because, he still has two living people in his hands.
The next actions will undoubtedly be based on "clearance". Chen Chen does not need to "investigate" their purpose, let alone extra evidence. All he needs is a location.
And those two survivors should be able to fully meet this simple intelligence requirement.
Therefore, after taking these three points into consideration, Chen Chen killed the Bumblebee without hesitation, and it was obvious that his move did not arouse Gunawan's dissatisfaction at all.
He even meant to "please people's hearts", which surprised Chen Chen.
"Aren't you worried about the aftermath?"
Chen Chen asked.
Gunawan shook his head and replied:
"Since you dare to take action, you must have a good reason."
"I can give you a good excuse. For example, he wanted to rely on our cover to kill you, but you reacted faster than him and shot in front of him."
"That actually makes sense - because I can guarantee that's what he thinks."
"If I really take him away, you will be the ones in trouble when he leaves me, right?"
"It does make sense."
Chen Chen nodded slightly and continued:
"At least it's more reasonable than the so-called misunderstanding."
"That's right, so don't think about these problems anymore and just do what you should do."
"I'll take care of it here."
"You are our partner, and we should provide you with certain conveniences."
"no problem."
Chen Chen nodded immediately, and then led the other three people directly into the house.
"The spoils of war are ours, how about that?"
Gunawan made a sign of please, and Chen Chen immediately went up to the second floor. When he opened the door and saw the layout inside, he was shocked.
——
To the uninitiated, there is nothing special about this house item.
It's just a few computers and a few monitors.
But Chen Chen knew that what appeared here could almost be said to represent the most advanced military technology in the entire United States!
Ground Warrior individual command system command terminal.
This thing was developed in 1993. By 2011, less than 50,000 soldiers were equipped with combat terminals, and the number of command terminals was no more than 1,000, most of which were deployed in military bases in the United States and Europe. , even in the Middle East, only a few combat brigades are equipped with this system.
And now, in Indonesia, in the quiet Kruno, he actually saw this level of equipment!
No wonder this battle was so difficult to win. He was really cheating!
Like the relatively well-known data link system, the Ground Warrior system is also a highly integrated microelectronics and data-based system. System equipment includes radios, GPS, individual PDA, cameras and other equipment. In the 21st century, After the second decade, the equipment covered by the system even expanded to sights, firearms, and body armor.
Once the entire system is activated, the infantry is no longer a separate combat unit, but a link in the entire C4ISR combat network.
Through the theater LAN, commanders can easily obtain first-hand battlefield intelligence and understand the location of each soldier, the number of enemies facing them, the combat situation, and even information on casualties and killing efficiency.
It would be an exaggeration to say that the commanders standing behind this system have almost completely broken away from traditional technology in their command methods, and have become as easy and freehand as a "real-time strategy game".
No wonder that after the high-altitude balloon was shot down, I could clearly feel that the opponent's level had dropped by more than one level. That thing was not only responsible for communication interference and surveillance, but also the information forwarding center of the ground warrior system!
Looking at the equipment in front of him, Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh.
In order to kill themselves, they really spent a lot of money.
If this system can also be captured, it will really be a huge profit.
But unfortunately, all the equipment has been completely physically destroyed, and after the system is separated from the C4I network, all the data stored in it will inevitably be destroyed remotely.
If you see it, you just see it, you really don’t have any use for it.
Chen Chen sighed and started looking for other useful equipment. However, after looking around, he found that the advanced equipment of this team was mainly concentrated in the field of electronic warfare. The PDAs stripped from their bodies were completely useless, and the guns were only ordinary. Probably the only gain from the ordinary HK416 and M4 is more advanced night vision devices.
There was no model number or logo, but Chen Chen could tell at a glance that this should be some kind of front-end model of ENVG-B.
The reason is simple, this thing has a thermal fusion mode
To put it simply, this thing is designed to address the shortcomings of traditional night vision devices.
Low-light night vision devices allow soldiers to obtain a better depth of field view and facilitate the observation of non-infrared targets. They are suitable for traveling at night, but are not conducive to identifying enemies; thermal imaging can mark and identify targets very quickly, but has no depth of field at all. , if you drive on a thermal imaging device, a person without special training will faint in just two steps.
In order to solve these two problems, the United States made an attempt:
They superimposed a thermal imager on the basis of traditional low-light night vision to form a special thermal fusion imaging picture.
It combines the functions of depth of field and target recognition. To put it bluntly, it can be said in one sentence:
"The infrared profile is superimposed on the low-light image."
Or to be more intuitive, this thing can trace the human body.
Chen Chen put the night vision device on his head and felt it for a while, then nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, the imaging effect of this thing is very average.
After all, this is a technology that was developed a few years ago. At this time, it has just developed into an awkward stage of being neither good nor bad. It is better than the commonly used four-eye night vision device, but it is completely unable to meet the standards of later generations of ENVG-B.
However, it has a special advantage that four-eye night vision devices absolutely cannot provide, and that is.
It provides unrivaled visibility through smoke.
For the Dongfeng Corps, which is accustomed to fighting in smoke, this thing is simply an artifact!
It has to be an old beauty. She knows what we are missing and delivers it quickly.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen said:
"Take all the equipment away. Leave the computers and monitors untouched. Leave them here for the police to handle."
"There aren't many things here. Find a way to touch the body."
"clear!"
Everyone responded immediately, and within a few minutes, the house was almost completely emptied, while the back of the pickup truck was filled to the brim.
Chen Chen greeted Gunawan and told him not to touch the equipment inside, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The latter nodded to indicate that he was clear, and then Chen Chen drove away in his car.
They returned to the cliff, and at this time, Hirakawa had completed all the treatment of the wounded.
With the addition of modern tools, he single-handedly completed work that normally required multiple people. The condition of the injured was very stable, and judging from his report, the prognosis was basically good.
"Bao Qi's hand problem is very serious. The bones are too broken. I don't have the conditions to replant the broken arm here."
"I can connect the blood vessels first and keep the arm on my thigh, but the conditions for replanting a severed arm are only available in Jakarta."
"I'm flying there tonight. Please arrange a plane for me and ask for a special medical plane!"
"After arriving, I need to evaluate the local medical level to see if it can support the operation."
"I would suggest, if possible, that it be best to send him north - or to Europe as well."
"But that's something later. You deal with the plane first!"
"clear."
Pingchuan's decision was made quickly and decisively, with a sense of unquestionable authority. Chen Chen did not refute, but immediately handed the matter over to Shi Dakai, who asked him to contact Bao Xiaomei to arrange a special medical flight.
The cost of calling a medical plane is actually not as high as most people think. The cost of a long-duration transcontinental flight will not exceed US$2 million at most, while a short-haul flight from Sulawesi to Jakarta costs Not much higher at all.
The only difficulty is how to find such an aircraft.
And it just so happens that Bao Xiaomei is professional in this aspect.
After determining the strategy, Chen Chen and Shi Dakai began to organize the evacuation of the wounded and prisoners, while Chen Chen led the team in his hands and began to collect the "bodies" of MPRI members scattered everywhere.
In fact, in previous high-intensity conflicts, neither side had time to dispose of the bodies. When Chen Chen found the MPRI members lying on the roadside, wild dogs had even begun to tentatively nibble on their exposed faces. .
The wild dogs in Kruno are as hungry as the wild dogs in any other poor area. They do not know the value of the equipment on these people. For them, flesh and blood is flesh and blood. No one is superior to anyone else, and there is no transcendence beyond "protein". and fat”
Chen Chen fired a gun to drive away the wild dogs, collected all the corpses together, and took away all the equipment on them.
And this time, they finally got something new.
Four M249 paratrooper-type machine guns with several bullets can just make up for the lack of firepower of the Dongfeng Corps' individual soldiers.
As many as 3 M82A1 large-caliber sniper rifles, and one .XM109!
Although it is also called a "sniper rifle", Chen Chen actually always felt that it would be more reasonable to call this thing a sniper rifle.
The 25mm caliber high-explosive bomb is almost fatal to light vehicles. It can easily shoot down an armed helicopter in a hovering state. It is also extremely effective against armored vehicles, although it is indeed more powerful than the firepower of the north. The sniper grenade is a little worse, but it's still enough.
This thing was never used from beginning to end, but not because they had any scruples, but because this thing was used with a vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun, and the gun holder was directly stunned by Yang Shu's cluster shock bomb.
Picked up a big leak.
If this thing was brought to the cliff, the Dongfeng Corps' casualties might be even higher.
In addition to weapons and night vision goggles, the biggest gain from these corpses is various advanced sights.
Thermal imaging sight, red dot sight, holographic sight, mechanical side sight.
Chen Chen collected a lot of them and immediately disassembled a set to calibrate his own gunfire.
At this moment, he finally felt that the gun had returned to its familiar state. When he held it, he felt a bit like "seeing an old friend again."
Returned with a full load.
Chen Chen counted the equipment for the last time and threw all the unnecessary and useless things on the ground.
Afterwards, the four people drove two cars and prepared to return, but at this moment, many figures suddenly appeared on the cliff.
Many unarmed figures.
Chen Chen raised his gun vigilantly, and the figures began to retreat after seeing the muzzles of their guns, but they did not turn around and leave.
The two sides faced off for a few seconds, and Chen Chen suddenly realized that their purpose was actually the same as his.
They are not hostile, they just want to pick up rags.
Chen Chen put down his gun decisively and waved to the civilians on the opposite side, indicating that they could help themselves.
And soon, after their vehicle passed by, those people gathered around and began to remove the equipment from the corpse.
Shoes, blood-stained clothes, iron military badges, belts, and broken body armor.
They want everything.
Their eyes shone with greed, but Chen Chen suddenly felt that perhaps only this kind of greed could truly save this land.
