I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 565: Real Chaos

Southeast of Tal Abyad, on the east bank of the Baleh River, outside the town of Suluk.

Chen Chen lay in the farmland, observing the town in the distance through a telescope.

His expression was extremely solemn, his brows were tightly furrowed, and after a long while, he finally spoke:
"The situation is quite bad."

"The Turks reacted too quickly. In such a short time, Suluk was occupied by them."

"They want to block our evacuation route and force us to expose ourselves by controlling the nodes."

"Tsk, tsk, they really learned it from you"

Chen Chen shook his head, put down the telescope in his hand, and then asked Li Bang beside him:
"How many supplies do we have left?"

After hearing his words, Li Bang thought for a moment and replied:

"When we got off the bus, everyone had basically taken as many supplies as possible, but they mainly took weapons and ammunition, and there wasn't much food or drink."

"I only have two sets of individual rations, which are MREs."

"There's not much water left. There's only half a pot left. It can only last for eight hours at most."

"If we wait until daybreak and the temperature rises, the consumption will be faster."

"If we can't get supplies tonight, the problem will be quite serious."

After Li Bang finished speaking, Chen Chen subconsciously touched his kettle.

After shaking it gently, the water inside was less than half, only about one third at most.

This meant that within just three hours after abandoning the car, the water he carried had been used up, a speed far faster than he had expected.

The dry environment did disrupt his judgment of supply needs, and in this situation, their biggest difficulty had turned into the difficulty of "survival".

What’s more troublesome is that Chen Chen doesn’t have a map that is accurate enough and new enough.

Due to the special situation in Syria, residents of a large number of villages and settlements have undergone large-scale migration. The maps drawn a few years ago are no longer of great reference value. If you want to use the maps in your hands to bypass the big cities and find the next small village for supplies, it basically depends entirely on luck.

Chen Chen frowned. This situation had never happened before, not only in this life, but even in the previous life.

After all, the combat scenarios for his field survival training were basically in jungle and plateau environments, and he had never trained in desert environments.

The same goes for the other team members around him. Apart from those from Pubei, most of the additional team members are from the east. When they were in the team, the exercise scenario was to go to the island. It was really difficult for them to carry out field survival operations in Syria.

The responsibility of making a plan still falls on myself, and now, there are actually only two choices before me.

Or, sneak into Suluk and find a way to leave after obtaining supplies.

Or, just bypass Suluk and take a gamble, betting that you can find the next supply point before your own supplies are used up.

Chen Chen glanced at his watch. It was already 5 a.m., less than an hour until dawn.

If you want to enter Suluk, now is your last chance.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally made the decision:

"Let's go to Suluk."

"If the other side wants to control most of the nodes, that means their forces must be dispersed."

"At the same time, they have to control the local population and suppress the scattered ISIS militants. This is our opportunity."

"Their surveillance and interception strategy may not achieve the desired effect. As long as we can enter Suluk, we will be halfway to success."

"Let's go, hurry up and infiltrate the city before dawn!"

"understand!"

At the command, everyone in the Dongfeng Corps immediately took action.

After a whole night of fighting and high-intensity marching, everyone's physical strength had been squeezed to the limit, but even so, everyone maintained the highest level when executing tactical actions.

"Enemy mobile patrol spotted."

"Enemy sentry spotted. Two people in an alley 50 meters behind the highway sentry post at the south exit of the city."

"Sniper spotted in the northwest tower."

"A secret sentry was found on Southwest Trail No. 2."

"There are sentries disguised as civilians active on the right side of the blue-roofed building."

"Got it, it's marked."

After a series of quick reconnaissances, most of the enemy positions along the Dongfeng Corps' infiltration path had been marked.

From beginning to end, Chen Chen had no concerns about using drones for observation.

Because he knew that even if the other party was aware that he had a drone, it would be a pipe dream to find the specific location of the small drone.

Without a dedicated high-precision air search radar or dedicated electromagnetic monitoring equipment, how can you expect to detect drones with your naked eyes or the noise of the rotors?
What even Mao and Ermao can't do, these Turks are even less likely to do.

As a result, the reconnaissance became quite simple, but after marking most of the obstacles on the map, Chen Chen became embarrassed.

Since Suluk Town is an irregular "starfish-shaped" town with no obstacles or shelters around it, the city itself is like a bastion. As long as a few key points are guarded, the entire outer area can be covered without blind spots.

If you want to sneak in without firing a gun, your team must be extremely cautious and no one can be left behind.

Such an operation requires an extremely high level of tacit understanding. Even the simplest mistake may turn an infiltration into a raid.
-
and many more.

"6, 9, 10, 12"

Chen Chen counted silently in his mind. After looking around, he suddenly realized that it might be possible to just sweep through.

The enemy's exposed troops are only more than 40 people. So it seems that the total number of troops deployed by the Turkish side here is about people.

The environment inside Suluk City is quite complicated, and it is impossible for them to mobilize all their forces in a short period of time.

Can fight!

Thinking of this, Chen Chen decisively gave the order to "start infiltration".

"Each of you choose your target, take out the sniper first, then launch your attack simultaneously."

"Enter from Alley No. 2. Once inside, quickly occupy advantageous terrain to block the enemy's first round of attack. Then collect supplies and find a vehicle to break out. Don't give the enemy time to react!"

"Listen to my command and prepare to attack!"

"understand!"

After the order was given, Chen Chen set up his SCAR-H on the spot.

The advantages of this gun were fully revealed at this moment. When the crosshairs locked onto the sniper in the high place, Chen Chen's countdown also ended.

"3, 2, 1, hit!"

"boom!"

The silencer covered up most of the sound of the gunpowder explosion. After a crisp sound, the face of the enemy sniper in the high place was directly pierced by the large-caliber bullet.

Then, Chen Chen lowered the muzzle of his gun slightly, and the second bullet pierced through the enemy's arm, knocking him around in a circle.

As an observer, Lin He immediately fired back and delivered a fatal blow to the enemy.

At the same time, other team members also opened fire.

Within 3 seconds, all 8 enemies exposed to the Dongfeng Corps' firing range were killed!

"Throw smoke bombs for cover and charge forward!"

"Roger that!"

Chen Chen didn't need to say anything more, the RG-6 in Li Bang's hand had already sprayed out two smoke bombs.

Everyone launched an attack towards the tip of the bastion in a straight line. The enemy's mobile patrol team on the street had already responded, but the moment they were exposed, 12 guns turned almost at the same time and immediately shot the lightly armored reconnaissance vehicle into a sieve!
"Get into the nearest building! Break the door!"

"Build up defenses! Gather supplies!"

"Understood!" Li Bang kicked open the gate of a small courtyard in front of him, and 12 people came in one after another. Li Bang searched around, raised his gun and knocked out all the shivering family of four in the room.

Then, without any pause, the four members of the assault team began to search the room for supplies.

What surprised Chen Chen was that this family actually stockpiled bottled water at home!
The water is the most common Tartus purified water in Syria. This thing is relatively common in eastern Syria, but Chen Chen never expected that it could be sold here.

However, this made their search operations much easier. Each person carried four bottles of water, which basically met their daily water needs.

"Food, find something to eat!"

Chen Chen shouted the word "food" in Arabic, but he obviously forgot that the owner of the house had been knocked unconscious by Li Bang with the butt of his gun.

At this time, the sound of machine gun fire was heard outside the door, mixed with loud shouts from Turkish soldiers.

Chen Chen's hands and feet became more agile. After rummaging through the drawers and cabinets, he finally found a large bag of pita bread in the kitchen.

"You can withdraw!"

"Report the external situation!"

"It's cleared, safe!"

"withdraw!"

Chen Chen skillfully threw the pita bread onto Li Bang's backpack, and the four members of the assault team left the house. A quick and unreasonable "robbery" was over.

"Just go back the same way!"

The plan went more smoothly than Chen Chen expected, and the Turkish defenders basically had no time to react at all.

They did give warning and even fired flares into the sky, but overall they were too slow.

The so-called "sentinels" are in name only and the emergency mechanism is almost non-existent.

When Chen Chen's team withdrew to the tip of the "bastion", the enemy's mobile force arrived late.

What greeted them was only a series of intercepting bullets fired by the Dongfeng Corps support group.

400 meters distance, 3 minutes time.

The Dongfeng Corps withdrew again to the farmland from which they had launched the attack, and after crossing the low sand dunes, the enemy lost all sight of them.

"Stay alert and don't move for now!"

"understand!"

Chen Chen's fighting style was methodical. They were now located in a small citrus orchard on the edge of a wheat field. Perhaps because it was not far from the Bailih River, the citrus trees here were growing well, providing them with excellent air cover.

As long as we rely on the current favorable terrain and deal with the first group of Turkish soldiers to react, the subsequent evacuation will become much easier.

Chen Chen has replaced the SCAR-H in his hand with HK-416 because he found that these Turkish soldiers were not wearing bulletproof vests.

Large-caliber bullets with excessive power cannot produce amazing results. Instead, the more flexible HK416 can cause greater damage!
He took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.

The mobile force has arrived at the edge of the city and entered the building shelters to establish a defense line.

Their desire to pursue did not seem to be strong, and overall, their goal was still to "delay the Dongfeng Corps."

But Chen Chen obviously wouldn't give them this opportunity.

"The car is coming out."

“It’s behind the blue-roofed building.”

"400 meters away, shoot him."

"receive."

The PP89 ultra-light mortar that was always on Lin He's back was immediately set up. Chen Chen did not even install the base, but directly locked the barrel with the handle at the bottom. Then Li Bang measured the distance, read the numbers, and made adjustments.

30 seconds later, a shell was loaded into the barrel.

"boom--"

After a brief pause, an explosion sounded behind the blue-roofed building!

"allow!"

Li Bang couldn't help but scream, and the Turkish soldiers on the opposite side were dumbfounded.

They probably never thought that the 12-man team they were facing could actually pull out a mortar!
But there's nothing strange about this.

If it weren't for the special nature of the Dongfeng Corps, Chen Chen even felt that some of his team members could just not carry guns and save the weight for other weapons.
If that were the case, the number of mortar shells that his team could carry would not be just three, but possibly six or eight.

"There is another one. Wait and find an opportunity."

Chen Chen said calmly.

After discovering that their side had indirect fire weapons, the enemy became more cautious in their actions.

After observing quietly for half a minute, the other party still did not start the pursuit.

They were probably well aware that the Dongfeng Corps had no vehicles, so they were not in a hurry.

In this case, Chen Chen decided not to waste time with them.

"withdraw."

"Go east to bypass Suluk, then turn around and go into the city!"

"understand!"

Li Bang was already accustomed to Chen Chen's plan.

After all, when he was in Pubei, Chen Chen had already performed a trick of breaking through, so it shouldn't be too difficult to do it again now.

This attack was actually a feint, the real killer move was yet to come.

Everyone started to act immediately, but at this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in the city of Suluk.

"boom--"

Chen Chen, who had already started walking, turned back in horror.

He saw a huge "fire cloud" rising in the center of Suluk City.

"Fuck."

Chen Chen subconsciously fell to the ground, and at the moment of the explosion, all the Turkish soldiers in the city were in chaos.

"who is it?"

Li Bang asked in a slightly bewildered manner.

"I do not know."

Chen Chen shook his head and raised the telescope.

Gunfire has rang out again, and this time, the conflict took place in the very center of the city.

"It sounds a bit like AK and PKM"

Li Bang frowned slightly, and suddenly asked in disbelief:

“ISIS?”

"They took action?!"

“It’s highly likely.”

Chen Chen's tone was calm, but his heart was actually turbulent.

Türkiye, NATO, Syrian government forces, ISIS, Iraqi religious forces, mercenaries, Dongfeng Corps.
This small piece of land has been crowded with too many forces with different stances.

The real chaos is about to begin
