Chapter 664: Flames of War (Journey of Death)

In the Army's operational command room, the atmosphere was tense.

In order to ensure the safety of Seo Hyun who remained on Yeonpyeong Island, Kim Yoon-ho spoke his mind.

"Take the initiative to expose South Korean artillery positions, attract North Korean artillery strikes, and then protect Seo Hyun's safety."

North Korea's shelling of Yeonpyeong Island under the pretext of responding to 'South Korea's provocation to shell North Korean waters'.

In the actual artillery bombardment, the real purpose of the DPRK is to take the opportunity to destroy the artillery positions that pose the most threatening to the DPRK.

If the ROK takes the initiative to expose the artillery position in the northernmost part of Yeonpyeong Island, it will undoubtedly attract the attention and full firepower of the DPRK, thereby reducing the possibility of artillery fire in the residential areas south of Yeonpyeong Island and ensuring the safety of residents.

It can be said that the proposal put forward by Kim Yoon-ho is effective and highly feasible.

And the difficulty is; Carrying out this plan requires permission from the top of the military and even the Ministry of Defense; And if they take the initiative to leave the position bunker and expose the artillery position to the northernmost point of Yeonpyeong Island, the artillery will die.

The artillery carrying out this battle plan will face the most intensive artillery fire from the DPRK, and judging from the scale of the previous two North Korean shells, the artillery in the exposed position will be hit by at least a dozen or even dozens of shells.

Even if the DPRK's artillery technology is backward, it is basically impossible to survive under such large-scale shelling.

It can be said that this combat proposal put forward by Kim Yun-ho is actually a 'dare to die operation'. It took a lot of sacrifice to carry out this battle plan, but it was also a huge reward.

After thinking about it carefully, Wing Commander Jang Hyun-hyuk gave up this tempting battle plan: "I'm sorry, although the plan you proposed is feasible. But it's hard to implement. ”

Kim Yun-ho fiercely suppressed the eagerness in his heart, and asked-for-tat: "Reason!" ”

Jang Hyun Hyuk was patient and quickly explained: "First of all. This plan to dare to die needs to be approved by the Ministry of Defense, and the approval process is too cumbersome, and I am afraid that before this plan is sent to the Ministry of Defense, this shelling has already ended.

Secondly, the rapid arrival of the exposed position on the northern tip of Yeonpyeong Island to attract the attention of the DPRK requires the artillery to carry out the plan with very high mobility. At the Yeonpyeong Island military base, only the K9 self-propelled guns met this condition.

And the K9 self-propelled guns are very expensive. The price is as high as $7 million, and if it is destroyed by North Korea, it will be a huge loss. In other words, the cost of executing this plan is too high.

Moreover, due to the high cost. There are only 16 K9 self-propelled guns in the entire South Korean army, which are scarce.

Therefore, South Korea needs to protect K9 as much as possible to counterattack and suppress North Korea.

Arguably. Every loss of a K9. It can be called a major blow to South Korea's military strength.

Therefore, for the above reasons, it is difficult for the Ministry of Defense to agree to let the precious K9 carry out this battle plan.

In addition to this, there is an off-the-field factor that determines that the military will not agree.

This off-the-field factor is a military secret, and I can't explain it to you in detail.

In short, you just need to know that your battle plan is unlikely to be approved. ”

In the case of limited time, the reason why Jang Hyun Hyuk explained so much to Kim Yun Ho was that in addition to being concerned about Kim Yun Ho's identity as a prosecutor, he was more worried that Seo Hyun was the daughter of General Seo.

After all, Kim Yun-ho has made it clear that this plan is to ensure Seo Hyun's safety. If he doesn't explain anything, it is easy for General Xu to have a bad idea of him. This is extremely bad for him.

But Jang Hyun-hyuk only said what he could say, and he didn't reveal half of what he shouldn't say.

However, Kim Yoon-ho knows what Jang Hyun-hyuk is hiding, which is nothing more than a scandal with the South Korean military.

He summarized all the known information and resources, and finally formed a very logical language, arguing.

"In summary, there are two main difficulties in implementing this plan.

First, the time is limited but the approval process is cumbersome.

Second, K9 self-propelled guns are scarce and valuable, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Defense to agree to sacrifice the K9 to carry out the plan.

I summed it up correctly! ”

The pace of the conversation was controlled by Kim Yoon-ho, and Jang Hyun-hyuk nodded in compliance.

Kim Yoon-ho continued, "In that case, then I have a way to solve these two problems.

I will use my personal connections to get this battle plan to the desk of the Department of Defense as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Defense does not agree to sacrifice a functioning K9, which is nothing more than a desire to weaken the counterattack.

If it is the failure K9 that carries out the plan, then I think the Ministry of Defense should be able to agree to our request! ”

Jang Hyun Hyuk was shocked: "Send out the faulty K9? So how do you attract North Korean artillery fire? ”

Kim Yun-ho sneered confidently: "North Korea's Nine Tails Island is so close to Yeonpyeong Island, you can see the scenery on the island clearly with an ordinary telescope, and after such a big guy as K9 appears, the North Korean side will not notice it?"

I think that as long as the North Korean garrison on Kuwei Island provides the news and coordinates of the appearance of the K9 to the artillery units in the rear, the North Korean commander will concentrate his fire like crazy to destroy the K9 that has left the bunker and exposed.

In this case, the K9 is not used to fire shells normally at all, as long as it appears. ”

Kim Yoon-ho's explanations and reasons undoubtedly moved Jang Hyun-hyuk.

If Kim Yun-ho can quickly get the plan to the Ministry of National Defense, the highly feasible plan is likely to be approved. As the initiator of the plan, Jang Hyun Hyuk will undoubtedly receive great credit.

Jang Hyun-hyuk's eyes were blood-red, and his voice trembled tentatively: "Then this plan..."

Kim Yun-ho responded quickly: "You come to draft the plan; I'm in charge of communicating with the military top brass about this.

In addition, I need you to contact the artillery unit in advance so that they can prepare for the failure of K9 in advance.

As for the selection of people to carry out the plan, I will personally go to the artillery unit and communicate with their commanders. ”

Kim Yoon-ho is not greedy for the credit of drafting the battle plan, he just wants to implement the plan in his heart as soon as possible to ensure that Seo Hyun is safe and sound. What merit and what honor, at this moment, he has run away from the clouds.

Hearing that Kim Yoon-ho's plan was complete and extremely thoughtful, Jang Hyun-hyuk gained a lot of confidence.

Jang Hyun Hyuk thought for a moment, and then made up his mind: "Okay! Done! ”

Jang Hyun-hyuk summoned his staff officers and drafted a battle plan. At the same time, communicate with the artillery unit.

And Kim Yun-ho first used the phone in the war room to call Xu's father and the Choi family to explain the situation.

Father Xu didn't ask anything about Xu Xian, he only understood the battle plan and finally agreed.

And the Cui family agreed relatively quickly. Agreed to help him pass on the word and let the battle plan reach the Ministry of Defense as soon as possible.

With the help of Xu's father and the Cui family, I believe that this plan will soon be put on the table of the Ministry of National Defense.

As for whether it can be approved in the end, it is no longer within Kim Yunhao's consideration.

It's best to approve, it can reduce a lot of trouble, and it doesn't matter if you don't approve, anyway, he made up his mind and was ready to come hard. Now the basic conditions are in place. He's got what it takes!

………

Kim Yoon-ho asked Jang Hyun-hyuk for an orderly to lead the way, and then went straight to the artillery position.

In the bunker of the artillery position, there was an important reliance on his hard work - the K9 self-propelled gun.

The K9 self-propelled gun is also known as the K9 self-propelled howitzer. It is the main artillery weapon developed by South Korea with the support of the United States, and can be called South Korea's leading military product. South Korean soldiers privately call K9 'Korea's god robe'.

And the Korean god robe, K9, is the same in the eyes of other developed countries in the military industry. Only Koreans dare to come up with such an exaggerated title as 'god robe'.

Of course, it is enough for South Korea to use it to suppress North Korea, after all, the main core technology of K9 is provided by the United States for a fee, and it is not known how many times ahead of North Korea in terms of science and technology.

K9 is 155 mm caliber. It's powerful. The rate of fire is high and the loading on armored vehicles is highly maneuverable.

Combined, these advantages made the K9 the king of South Korea's artillery forces, suppressing North Korea to the core.

However, it is still a clichΓ© that the stability of military products made in South Korea is not good.

South Korea formed a fully formed K9 artillery battalion; Including 3 artillery batteries, each equipped with 6 K9 vehicles. Among them, because of its important strategic location, Yanping Island has stationed a company of 6 K9s.

However, before the shelling, 2 out of 6 K9s broke down and were out of service.

This is also what Jang Hyun Hyuk hid just now.

A third of the equipment failed. This will undoubtedly seriously affect the image of the South Korean military industry, and it is an absolute big scandal.

And as the main weapon to suppress North Korea. The remaining four K9s on Yeonpyeong Island are even more precious.

This is also the main reason why Jang Hyun Hyuk did not approve of Kim Yoon-ho's battle plan at the beginning.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense will certainly not sacrifice its main combat power to carry out this death-defying plan.

And the reason why Kim Yun-ho knows this is because of this information he learned when he was investigating here before.

After all, the K9 maintenance movement is too big to hide from each other.

…….

When Kim Yun-ho rushed to the artillery position and personally understood the situation, he found that the actual situation was even worse.

At the moment, only 3 K9s can be used normally, and the other 1 was hit by North Korea and the cable was damaged.

In other words, at this moment, the artillery firepower of Yanping Island is only half of the design, which is really speechless.

After communicating with the commander of the artillery unit, Kim Yoon-ho was allowed to observe and understand the fault K9 at close range.

As for the artillery that carried out the plan of the battle to the death, it was not yet in the draft.

Since the plan had not yet been approved, the commander of the artillery unit appeared to be less active and fully coping.

Kim Yun-ho saw that it was basically hopeless to expect these guys.

It's not that the South Korean soldiers are not enthusiastic, but there are too many bullshit things and too many containments.

If you wait for the South Korean military to straighten out the procedures and then select the members to carry out the mission, the cucumber dishes will be cold.

So in the case of tight time, Kim Yunhao plans to come hard - do it alone.

Kim Yoon-ho has a detailed understanding of the situation of the 2 broken K9s.

One of them was completely paralyzed, unable to fire or even move - exclude!

The reason for the failure of the other vehicle was that the dud was stuck in the barrel during training and could not fire, but it could be fired.

Naturally, Kim Yun-ho chose the last faulty K9 that could not be fired.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the cannon can be fired or not, as long as it can be fired to a clear position on the northernmost tip of Yeonpyeong Island to attract North Korean firepower. And without professional artillery, he himself could not operate to shoot shells.

Yes, Kim Yun-ho's hard plan is to personally drive the K9 to attract North Korean firepower.

He's sitting in this K9 cab right now, and he's fully equipped to come hard.

Now that the scene is so chaotic, he can completely drive K9 out without much hindrance.

As for the question of driving the K9, it is not a problem at all.

This armored vehicle is not much different from a car, and anyone with driving experience can quickly familiarize themselves with the operation process and then drive it, which is very simple.

In this way, Kim Yunhao was briefly familiar with the basic driving operation of K9 under the explanation of the artilleryman, and then... Under the pretext of a test drive, he rushed out in a K9!

Without anyone wiping his senses, Kim Yoon-ho embarks on a journey of death! (To be continued.) )
