Chapter 402 Remember it on his head
Two hours later, outside Xingping Guowen School.
He Bangxiong, who had already led troops to Mongla, completed the comprehensive suppression and disarmament of the 911th Division and the Central Independent Brigade of Mongla, and established a defense line against the 369th Division on the west side of Mongla, stood in front of Chen Chen, and with He Buppa At the same time, he reported the latest situation to Chen Chen.
"The 911th Division has formally surrendered. There are still a few private soldiers from the Central Independent Brigade resisting in the city, but they basically no longer pose a threat."
"It is estimated that in another two hours, we can complete the full reception of Mongla."
"The problem now is that the Mongla troops we captured are much less than the real number of Mongla troops."
"At least two thousand people chose to escape on the spot after receiving Lin Mingxian's 'reward'. Now they have entered the area around Mongla, and we have no way to deal with it."
"This is a major unstable factor. If Lin Mingxian can establish contact with the 369th Division through means unknown to us, and these militiamen are allowed to merge with the 369th Division, the strength of the Mongla Army will return to more than 3,000 people. "
"And this means that our combat mission has not been achieved, and today's battle is mostly in vain."
"This team of three thousand people may not dare to fight head-on with us again, but even if it is just a stalemate, it will not be conducive to our subsequent layout."
"Because according to the combat plan, we must leave for Kachin as soon as possible and cannot give them any more time to prepare."
"So, the core issue now is still how to force Lin Mingxian to surrender."
"As long as he surrenders, the Mongla army will give up resistance no matter what."
"After disarming them, subsequent tasks will not be too difficult."
Hearing He Bangxiong's words, Chen Chen nodded in agreement.
Tonight's attack can be said to be successful. After all, with just a few hundred troops, we defeated the Mongla Army of thousands of people.
The advantages of equipment and personnel have been fully utilized. It can even be said that our side has given these country bumpkin militias a little shock of modern and mechanized combat.
But from another perspective, this battle was also a failure.
Because according to the predetermined plan, the coalition forces should pour out the strongest firepower in the shortest time, use a decisive battle to quickly destroy the Mongla Army's fighting will, and force the opponent to formally surrender.
Now, this goal has obviously not been achieved.
The entire battle lasted for nearly 5 hours. The 369th Division of the Mongla Army from the west had already arrived in the face of the coalition forces, while the 911th Division near Nanban and the Central Independent Brigade of Mongla only "basically surrendered"!
It has to be said that on the battlefield, especially on large-scale battlefields, the situation is really ever-changing. Just a small detail of pre-war pay can completely change the shape of war.
This is helpless, but also inevitable.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen let out a long sigh of relief, and then said:
"At this point, we have no other choice."
"Lin Mingxian must be taken down before the 369th Division and the defeated troops merge together. To take him down, we must break into the school, kill the remaining private soldiers, rescue the hostages, and capture Lin Mingxian."
"The situation is very complicated now."
Having said this, Chen Chen paused for a moment, then pointed to the spread out simple structural diagram of the school and said:
"Xingping Guowen School has a total of 4 buildings, distributed in a ring, with the school playground in the middle."
"Among the four buildings, three are teaching buildings and one is a student dormitory. The building heights are all four floors."
"Judging from the early reconnaissance results, Lin Mingxian's private soldiers have dispersed the students to different floors of four buildings, which greatly increased the difficulty of our surprise attack."
"We only have two options at the moment."
"Either attack simultaneously and capture four buildings at the same time."
"Either we have to negotiate with Lin Mingxian and find a way to reach an agreement with him."
"Compared with the former, the latter option is actually more difficult, because we can't give Lin Mingxian what he wants."
"So, there is actually only one option we can choose. The only question is whether we can implement it or not."
After hearing Chen Chen's words, everyone present fell silent.
In fact, if they only attack four buildings, it will not be difficult for the coalition forces.
After all, the current coalition forces are no longer the light infantry squad that Chen Chen used when he attacked Banglong Trading Company.
They have tanks, heavy artillery, rockets, and helicopters.
No matter which piece of equipment is brought out, it is enough to blow up Guowen School.
But the problem is that now there are not only enemies and militants in the school, but also innocent students!
All radical "destruction methods" cannot be implemented. As a violent team galloping across the battlefield, they can only use the "de-escalation methods" commonly used by the police to complete their tasks!
Except for Chen Chen, no one has experience in such combat.
But asking them to make suggestions is really difficult.
Looking at the silent crowd, Chen Chen frowned. After seeing his expression, Li Bang thought for a moment and said:
"Conventional operations are impossible. The building structure here is too complex and there are too many enemies. It will take time to clean up."
"This time he really hit himself with the spinning knife. Ning Ming killed Lin Mingxian's family in the villa, and now he turned around and gave us the same problem."
“I really don’t know whether I should call it retribution.”
"In a sense, it is."
Chen Chen nodded without hesitation, and then continued:
"After all, we don't need to take the blame for the villa massacre, but we must solve the hijacking of Guowen School."
"Routine action is impossible. Is there any possibility of using other methods?"
"For example, the poison gas we used before?"
"No, the impact on the confined space is too small."
Li Bang immediately shook his head and continued:
"Moreover, most of the private soldiers in Mongla are awake. In this case, they may do more extreme things due to the influence of the poison gas."
"If it doesn't work, we can only bear the cost of casualties. It is better to solve the problem quickly than to let him drag it out."
"If you have no choice, you can only do this."
Chen Chen's expression was a little gloomy. At this moment, he really wanted to hang Ning Ming up and beat him up.
If it weren't for him, it would be almost impossible for Lin Mingxian to make such a crazy response.
Even if he just ran away, at least it would be better than the current situation.
You know, there's nothing fancy about hostage rescue.
As long as you decide to attack forcefully, you can only use the simplest and most basic way to complete the attack.
History has proven that all attempts to resolve hostages have failed. The only thing the assault team can rely on is the gun in their hand.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously held the gun in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said:
"Don't think about it too much."
"Find a way to organize a reconnaissance of the internal situation of the school to find out the opponent's troop deployment."
"Then we just hit it right in."
"This is Lin Mingxian's choice. We don't want to hurt anyone, but all casualties in this operation will be recorded on his head!"
