Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Territorial Reconquest

November 1982, Gansu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiayuguan.

The foremost fortress of the Great Wall Line.

It has been a few days since Hirano Toda, dressed in a PLA major uniform, arrived at the front line. In the past few days, he has excitedly tried all kinds of weapons, machine guns, cannons, tanks, drones, all weapons, and he has played with it.

If it weren't for the troops, Hirano Toda would even want to use a tactical plane to go hundreds of kilometers away to try the so-called ray-level shout.

From tens of thousands of beta clusters, decapitating and hunting hundreds of light species really made the fat man tremble with stimulation, and he was more excited than doing something embarrassing with a beautiful girl.

"Don't die like that!" Zhao Bailang said, "Beta is different from zombies! Even the beta of the fighter level and soldier level surpasses the zombies! What's more, the fighter and soldier-level cannon fodder have not yet been created by the nest, and the smallest cannon fodder units are all tank-level, monsters that can tear apart tanks alive! ”

"That's why I feel the excitement!" Hirano Toda was completely immersed in the joy of shooting Beta with various weapons for several days. However, since it is well protected, it takes a telescope to see the beta, so ...... Not exciting enough!

In Zhao Bailang's view, this is death!

"Remember, we are not here to seek excitement, but to test weapons, collect problems reported by the front, and provide ideas for future weapon improvement and research and development." Zhao Bailang said.

"I think...... The front line is saturated with military power to the point of excess in terms of defense! Most of the betas are wiped out by drones and artillery fire out of sight! The strength of the first-line defensive battle is only more than 1 million, in fact, tens of millions of troops are seriously idle! Hirano Toda said, "Personally, I feel that it is possible to move the front line forward......

"It's easier said than done."

"It's the front line that is too conservative."

……

The so-called Great Wall defense line is not actually to guard the Great Wall, but to guard the Hexi Corridor, the famous Hexi Corridor, which was the main road to the Western Regions in ancient China. To the west of the Yellow River in Lanzhou, the Qilian Mountains and the Heli Mountains are sandwiched, and between the two mountains, a long and narrow plain area is formed.

The so-called Jiayu Pass and Yanmen Pass are not because of their dangerous terrain and difficult to enter. Opposite...... These passes are all loopholes in the natural defense line formed by the mountain range, so it is necessary to send more troops to garrison them.

And just to guard the entrance to the plain between the two mountains, the Republic has deployed more than 3 million troops between the two mountains alone.

Garrisoning the front line of Jiayuguan is already the first line, and if it is broken through here, there will still be dozens of similar lines of defense in the narrow Hexi Corridor.

Originally, guarding the weak canyon of the Hexi Corridor, as the first line of defense of Jiayuguan, 100,000 people had to be sacrificed every year. Such a tragic war of attrition is a relatively better choice than other countries, where most of the population of the entire country is eaten by beta.

In the past ten years, Beta has invested more than 10 million units, but it has stopped outside Jiayu Pass. Therefore, Beta is gradually advancing westward, and in the future, it will attack Pakistan, India and other countries on the South Asian continent. After the fall of the countries of the South Asian continent and the South Asian subcontinent, and the fall of the Soviet Union and Mongolia to the north, China gradually began to be unable to hold on because of the three-sided advance of the beta.

However, that was in the 90s, and now it's still far from that.

The situation now is...... Jiayuguan lost no more than 3,000 troops throughout the year, and with the popularization of unmanned weapons, the losses will be lower and lower.

"It's been a little too easy on the front line these months. So...... Next, our goal is to gradually push the front line a little west. This year's small goal, the first is to recover the Yumen Pass! Qin Laohu was saying with his mouth full of spittle.

"Recovering the Jade Gate Pass?" Hirano Toda looked excited.

"How?" Commander-in-Chief Qin glanced at him, "What does Major Hirano think too?" ”

"No, no......" Hirano was excited just because he could fight, use all kinds of real weapons, and destroy the beta.

"Okay, then I'll briefly talk about the mission." Qin Laohu said, "According to the data monitored by satellites, there are about more than 50,000 beta clusters in the area of Yumen Pass, and they don't seem to be collecting various resources, including extracting oil from Yumen Pass and bringing back the beta nest*** Although they will not attack us for the time being, we can't let them plunder the resources that belong to our country under our noses." So, next, we will carry out the cleanup of the beta cluster in Yumen Pass! ”

"50,000 betas, if you take the initiative to attack them, how many troops will you have to lose!" A staff officer shook his head and said.

"Not necessarily!" Qin Laohu said, "To make good use of new weapons, next, our army will first use satellites to operate drones, with the aim of approaching the beta cluster and completing the light-level hunt." After the drone unit hunts the light class, with 10 tactical aircraft groups and 500 tactical aircraft, the remaining beta is repeatedly hunted and consumed. Run-and-run tactics if you can't beat them. In the end, it was the Air Force that carried out the bombing and the Army that carried out the occupation. ”

Yumen Pass is also an important place in the Hexi Corridor, which was abandoned in the past in order to shrink the troops, because, even if it is defeated, it may not be able to hold it. Even on defense, the consumption of troops is extremely cruel. In order to reduce the losses of the troops, the defensive line was shrunk and large territories were temporarily abandoned.

But......

Now with the unmanned positional system, with the UAV swarm, as well as the tactical aircraft unit, it is completely possible to advance the front 500 kilometers.

After that, the Yumen Pass will be arranged in the same way as Jiayu Pass. At that time, Yumen Pass will become the front line. As for the consumption with beta, there is no essential difference between the consumption in Jiayuguan and the consumption in Yumenguan.

……

November 5, 1982, 8 a.m.

Lanzhou Military Region.

In Jiayuguan, more than 500 tactical aircraft have taken off one after another.

A formation was formed, and Yumen Pass, hundreds of kilometers away, flew away. These tactical aircraft carried a small amount of ammunition, but they were carrying cardboard boxes containing drones.

The yellow sand is rolling, and there are no plants and animals on the earth, let alone traces of human activities.

Some of the buildings have been abandoned for many years.

"Flying Brigade, 20 kilometers ahead on the left, spot the Beta cluster! Please start landing, then, unboxing, turn on the start switch of the drone. ”

"Roger!"

More than 50 J-8 tactical aircraft of the Flying Brigade landed on the ground, and did not choose to approach the beta, but first put down the cardboard boxes, and then, the guards came out of the cockpit one after another, took scissors, and began to disassemble the cardboard boxes.

Inside each carton, 20 drones are wrapped in shock-absorbing styrofoam.

A tactical aircraft brigade capable of transporting 1000 tactical aircraft at once. A total of 10,000 drones were transported to the vicinity of the battlefield by 10 tactical aircraft brigades.

The guards opened the box one after another, pressed the switch of the phoenix nest drone, and after the indicator light was on, they didn't care.

Betas spotted them in the distance, only 10 kilometers from their nearest location.

"Back to the tactical aircraft! Next, the battle will be handed over mainly to the drones! ”

"If there's a beta approaching, fire. Return after finishing your ammunition. ”

The CIC command post at Jiayuguan issued an order.

Subsequently, 10,000 drones began to rise into the air one after another......

In Jiayuguan, hundreds of kilometers away, the UAV unit uses satellite signals to complete the remote control of the UAV. And through the battlefield map synthesized by drones, they can see more clearly than satellite maps.

Thundered!

Bursts of explosions......

The drone arrogantly fired at the beta on the ground, and those red spiders, not only jumping, seemed to want to use the bouncing force to pounce on the drone.

But only a few drones that unfortunately lowered their altitude were lost, and in fact, those red spiders (tank level) could not hurt the drones at all.

Next, hundreds of betas, mainly at the tank level, were wiped out by drones.

Only about two dozen fish that slipped through the net were rushed to death by the guards. If you don't rush to kill, there will be no enemy to kill.

", what's this called?"

"Damn, I chose the wrong line, what kind of tactical plane to drive, drones are king."

The guards chattered, looking at the swarm of drones that stole their limelight with envy and jealousy.

……

In the next few days, the tactical aircraft unit in Jiayuguan was almost reduced to porters, constantly transporting drones to the battlefield. The vast majority of combat missions are drones fighting against beta clusters. After all the drones are blown out and a lot of beta is consumed, more drone swarms will be transported to the battlefield.

As the battle line was pushed into the beta-dense area, the tactical guards began to fight fiercely.

However, arriving at the original site of Yumen Oilfield......

The troops were furious at what they saw - a large number of Betas burrowed into the oil wells to drink oil, and when the Betas had their fill, they began to return in batches in the direction of the nest to the west.

"Drink oil?"

The guards were stunned.

Truly!

Those betas such as strike class, assault class, tank class, etc., are really to drill holes and drink oil, drink oil into their stomachs, and then return to Kashgar's lair.

A beta can drink a few tons of oil at a minimum, and a hundred tons at most.

And the oil that is drunk by it must be processed as a raw material to become a new beta!

"Beta of all evils, stealing the resources and property of our country!" The guards were furious and began firing at the large betas.

Because, the most threatening light level, all of them were wiped out by drones.

So, the guards played very well......

In this battle, our army lost only 2 guards, and wiped out a super-large beta cluster with a total of 58,000.

Of course, the drones lost a total of 60,000 drones, and most of the losses were not destroyed by the light class during the battle, but because the drones that were temporarily abandoned after losing fuel were destroyed by the beta!

Because, beta has a property - they will attack and destroy high-performance semiconductor components in preference to attack humans.

So, in a sense, Beta is giving priority to Europe, in addition to being difficult to bite to the east, there is also a big factor - the developed regions of Europe have a large number of electronic components.

For example, telecommunications, telephone equipment, televisions, radios, and other equipment emit dense radio waves...... Attracted beta priority to attack in the direction of Europe.

Therefore, many drones that lost power on the battlefield and were temporarily abandoned, but they were not successfully recovered, and they were destroyed by the beta.

Overall, the operation cost 470 million yuan.

Domestically, this operation is obviously very expensive. But compared to those countries in Europe, the efficiency is extremely high, the cost is very small, and the number of sacrifices is negligible.

This kind of action shows that with more high-tech weapons and equipment, the Republic has gradually begun to lead Europe and the United States in terms of fighting against beta.

With the end of the battle, the airborne troops and a large number of supplies were also put into Yumen Pass. In mid-November, more convoys arrived at the front line from Jiayuguan, and transported the unmanned positions to the front line, and selected a location at Yumen Pass to assemble and install the positions.

Next, there is a series of infrastructure such as communication base stations and power plants. When the infrastructure was completed, a squadron of tactical aircraft and a brigade of unmanned aerial vehicles were stationed at Yumen Pass. In addition, there are some technicians who are responsible for the repair and maintenance of various weapons and equipment.

The total strength of the entire position is only 100 people.

Moreover, these 1,000 people are not ready to hold out, in fact, if they encounter a large group of betas, they will immediately flee, and the battle will be handed over to unmanned positions and drones here.

The two traversers, Hirano Toda and Zhao Bailang, came to visit after recovering Yumen Pass, and were picked up by helicopter before the next wave of beta attacks.

In short, the fat man found that the front line was getting safer and safer, and the front-line combat was getting farther and farther away from him. (To be continued.) )
