Chapter 467: The First Show of the Future

Minilla front-line airfield.

When the first huge Kunpeng transport plane came to a halt on the earthen runway with a cloud of sand and dust, even those air force officers and men couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation.

This thing is too big, compared with the Kunpeng, the Hercules next to it is simply a small man, close to fifty-two meters long wingspan, fat and exaggerated fifty-three meters long fuselage, like a hill pressed on the runway, behind it is a five-story building as high as the vertical tail, slightly drooping upper single wing on one side of two large bypass ratio engines, this is a power monster with a maximum thrust close to 20 tons, and this is also the largest transport aircraft in the world at present, with a maximum take-off weight of more than 200 tons, even exceeding the B52 bomber.

When all twelve of these giant transport planes landed, all the other planes in the entire airport became invisible, and only these twelve Kunpeng were left in everyone's field of vision.

The one that came out of these giant transport planes also caught everyone's eye, it was an infantry fighting vehicle in desert camouflage.

But unlike the gray wolf that people are already familiar with, that is, the infantry fighting vehicle that the Ming army has been using for more than ten years, this one is taller and does not have the iconic wave plate in front, which means that it does not have the ability to directly float in its design, and this has always been the biggest advantage of the Ming army's infantry fighting vehicles, which has won them numerous victories before, although this ability also limits its weight, resulting in poor protection.

Another radical difference from the ferocious Grey Wolf is that this infantry fighting vehicle does not have a large-caliber cannon, and only has a 25-millimeter cannon on the turret, which is a new type of extra-long barreled cannon. It looks quite imposing. But in any case, it's just that caliber. The effect is certainly not as good as the seven-three-mm low-bore pressure gun, even if the latter is not actually a gun, but there are two more anti-tank missile launchers on one side, which makes the turret, which is already full of various observation instruments, look more complicated, which is still a highlight.

It is clear that this is the latest generation of infantry fighting vehicles of the Ming army.

"What? Didn't you say that there were a hundred-millimeter cannon in the new infantry battle? ”

An officer said as he watched in amazement as the latest infantry fighting vehicles drove out of the Kunpeng transport plane and then began to assemble.

Well, this is the M2 Bradley. Of course, it was only the mechanical part that was copied as it was, especially the fierce Viper chain cannon, but certainly not so many tall electronics.

As for the legendary infantry fighting vehicles equipped with 100 mm guns, they are also available, but they are not used on the Australian battlefield, because the Ming army's combat area has expanded, and it will mainly fight in the arid Middle East in the future.

The final result is that the new generation of infantry fighting vehicles, which were originally designed with the Southeast Asian battlefield as the main design idea, are simply divided into two types, one is that there is no direct floating ability. The heavy infantry fighting vehicle that needed the help of the siege, which is the lynx heavy infantry fighting vehicle that people see here today. There is also a crocodile light infantry fighting vehicle with direct floating ability, that is, the Zero 4 type, the former is mainly equipped with the army, and the latter is mainly equipped with the marines.

As for the twenty-four Lynx infantry fighting vehicles this time, they were specially transported here for battlefield testing.

After these infantry fighting vehicles were assembled, the soldiers carrying them also came out one after another, looking at the strange land under their feet with curious eyes, and people realized that like these latest infantry fighting vehicles, the rifles of the soldiers on the vehicles were also the latest ones.

And it is also a strangely shaped and even alternative rifle, its magazine is behind the trigger, and it is located very back, in the back is a section that looks large, but it is certainly not the butt, because the length of this part is very short, the front of the trigger is large enough to connect to the bottom of the grip with a retainer, and then there is a small grip at the root of the forward barrel, and what is even more exaggerated is that this rifle did not have a sight, but was replaced with a sight that was not too big.

The whole rifle is completely black, and part of the body looks like plastic, and the shape is very similar to the one used by the Führer's guards, but it is not as exaggerated as the latter, but some are equipped with grenade launchers.

Well, this is another weapon for battlefield testing, this is the next generation of the Ming Army's 5.56 mm caliber standard rifle, after all, the 46 rifle or Chongzhen ****** rifle, the former name is international, the latter is the internal number of the Ming Army, this is actually a G3 rifle has been in use for almost 13 years now, as the Ming Army, which has always been at the forefront of the weapon trend, of course, it is not ready to use a rifle for 20 years, not to mention that the Ming Army fights frequently and has a high training intensity, The same rifle is certainly shorter than others.

Therefore, the development of the next generation of standard rifles of the Ming army has been completed, and now it is about to be tested in actual combat, which is also the old tradition of the Ming army, and the test of new weapons has always been on the battlefield.

As for this rifle......

The magazine is behind the trigger, of course, it is a stockless rifle, what else can a stockless rifle be, Steyr AUG, although I don't know how it performs in actual combat, but at least people sell it well, and not only sell it well, but also have a high appearance, so of course I have to choose it.

The Ming must form its own image style, just like AK47 on behalf of the Soviet Union, Springfield M14 on behalf of the United States, this rifle was born earlier than the original history, the Goryeo War suffered from AK47 in the United States, immediately after the war developed this automatic rifle, and now it has been equipped with the US Army on a large scale, and the same Ming Army also needs to have its own unique style, can not be mixed in a bunch of similar appearance of the rifle, so the stockless rifle was used by the Führer as the future image of the Ming Army.

What's more, the weight of this rifle is also very tempting for the Ming army, the four-six style is good, but the weight makes the soldiers dislike.

With a hint of distraction, the officer immediately stepped forward, and at this time the twenty-four infantry fighting vehicles and their crews quickly completed the assembly, and after introducing each other with a major who led the team, he immediately led them out of the airport under the gaze of countless eyes, and immediately after leaving the airport, they joined up with a Leopard tank battalion waiting outside, formed a mechanized combat detachment, and then rushed directly south to the battlefield fifty kilometers away.

At this time, the general attack on the Australian army has begun, and all kinds of Ming fighters in the sky cover the sky, from heavy Yinglong bombers to light Tiger Shark fighters, and even Cobra armed helicopters and Thunderbolt attack planes that take off from front-line airfields, unprecedented bombing ravages the defense line of the kangaroos, and on the ground, one by one 155 mm self-propelled artillery, 240 mm self-propelled mortars, and even the latest steel rain rocket artillery, all the cannons are constantly pouring shells on the opposite side with an unprecedented density.

And in the empty Australian red wilderness, thousands of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are a torrent of steel that is hitting the Australian positions like a tsunami rag.

"Enemy tanks!"

Because of the height, in the marching mechanized detachment, a soldier standing on the turret of the Lynx infantry fighting vehicle suddenly spotted M48 tanks driving out of the annular bunker in the distance.

The Leopard tanks in front of them turned their turrets one after another.

But at this moment, from the turrets of more than a dozen Lynx infantry fighting vehicles, anti-tank missiles suddenly flew out, and then all the M48 tanks that tried to sneak attack on the opposite side turned into flaming torches.

"Madamn, there's nothing to do with us!"

On a Leopard tank, an officer said depressedly, because the distance was more than three kilometers, their tank guns were not firing at all!

As soon as he finished saying this, two flames suddenly shot out at the same time on the Australian position, which had been bombed beyond recognition not far away, and in the blink of an eye, it crashed into the front of two lynx infantry fighting vehicles, where there were neatly rehearsed checkered things, and two 66-millimeter armor-piercing shells fired by M72 rocket launchers, which were also born in advance due to the stimulation of the Korean War, exploded on these checkered things.

The tank officer subconsciously closed his eyes.

Obviously, these two infantry fighting vehicles are finished, and their pitiful armor can't even stop even the shells of machine guns, let alone the metal jets of rockets.

However, at this moment, a shout of amazement sounded around him, and he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly opened his eyes, only to find that the two infantry fighting vehicles were still moving.

Moreover, the 25-millimeter guns were spewing blazing flames as they moved, and the dense shells smashed the enemy's hideouts on the opposite side, and then all the infantry fighting vehicles came to a halt, while soldiers with new rifles rushed out of the vehicles and quickly flanked the enemy.

At the point where the two infantry fighting vehicles were hit by armor-piercing shells, it was clear that several square-shaped pieces had been blown to pieces, but the hull armor underneath was almost unscathed.

Of course, he won't know that outside these heavy infantry fighting vehicles, there are explosive reactive armor that has just been developed and is still in the experimental stage, which is a top-secret technology, and the most important additional armor for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in the future will not only be these heavy infantry fighting vehicles, but also Leopard tanks also need to be equipped with this kind of armor, although it is not very useful for armor-piercing shells, but it is still very effective in resisting armor-piercing bullets.

Of course, this was only a small battle worth mentioning, on this battlefield, the Ming army gathered a full eleven brigades, and then launched a ferocious attack towards the defense line of 80,000 Australian troops, and in less than twenty-four hours broke the positions held by the kangaroos for nearly two months, the steel torrent of Leopard tanks and infantry fighting vehicles quickly divided and surrounded those collapsing kangaroos, and everywhere there was chaotic and disorderly fighting, everywhere there were fleeing Australian soldiers, everywhere there were waving white flags.

The kangaroos failed completely. (To be continued.) )
