Chapter 579: Synthetic Troops
The sapper hurriedly touched the detonator and pressed it hard...... No response!
Press it again, the bridge is still there!
I'll press ...... again There was no need to press it, because the first tank had already rushed to the position of Ikeda's brigade and bombarded it, blasting the detonator into parts along with the sapper. Ikeda Nakasa was about to go crazy: "What's going on? Why didn't the dynamite explode? ”
What's going on? The reason couldn't be simpler. An electronic warfare plane was luring over their heads, and the fixed-frequency electromagnetic interference made this group of radio-controlled bombs unable to receive any signal, and of course could not explode. At the end of the day, it's the old wire-fired bomb that's more reliable, and as long as the wire doesn't break, no one can interfere with it -- of course, on TV, the deadly wire has to be broken.
And the detonation device they use is a wireless detonation device imported from the United States, and this new gadget, under the electronic warfare aircraft, is white.
It was only now that Ikeda Nakasa knew that those seemingly backward old bombs had so many benefits, but it was too late to regret it, because all the Chinese tanks had rushed over, followed by armored vehicles, and several tanks were firing at full fire, beating the Ikeda brigade that tried to counterattack backwards, and the armored vehicles were even more simply, and several rocket launchers smashed over, blasting an anti-tank detachment into the sky.
Ikeda Nakasa crawled out of the command car, and the next second, a shell opened a skylight on the command car, and the entire command car was dismantled into eight pieces, turning into scorching fragments flying all over the sky. Just a few tanks actually rushed straight into the position of a large group and attacked wantonly. When they saw a car, they hit it, and when they saw a person, they ran over, and the Ikeda brigade was beaten bitterly.
"Is this the so-called elite unit of the Imperial Army?"
The Indonesian infantry battalion that caused the trouble was very disappointed, if every unit of the 7th Division was at this level, then, I am afraid, it was not them who came to help Indonesia, but Indonesia who helped them. In any case, people are also their own food and clothing, and they can't die without help.
Under the orders of the battalion commander, several anti-tank groups quietly detoured back to the side of the Chinese army tanks. Anti-tank rocket artillery was fired. And they succeeded. Another tank was destroyed, the crew members did not escape, and another was paralyzed and did not move for a long time.
Returning to his senses, Ikeda's brigade dumped two armor-piercing shells at the crippled tank. In the midst of a flurry of explosions. The tank was almost broken into parts.
Ikeda Nakasa roared: "Yes. That's how it goes! Kill all the people of Shina! ”
Kick your subordinates hard with your foot and make them rush up. But the chariot is not a vegetarian, the turret rotates 180 degrees, and it is a blast. An Indonesian anti-tank squad was hit into the river, and after another shot, the shells hit directly on the steel helmets of the soldiers who were carrying anti-tank rocket launchers and were about to fire, and the entire steel helmet was shattered into seventeen or eighteen pieces within a fraction of a second, and the group completely disappeared in the flash of orange fire, and not even a piece of cloth remained.
The Indonesian battalion commander hissed over the radio: "We must retreat!" We must retreat! ”
Ikeda Nakasa glared at his bloodshot eyes and roared, "There are only three tanks left, we can kill them completely, why retreat?" Difficulty: Will you just retreat? ”
The Indonesian battalion commander said: "The Chinese plane will arrive soon, and it will be too late if it is not withdrawn!" ”
Ikeda said, "No, I have to kill all these people!" ”
The Indonesian battalion commander said: "Zhongzuo, it's not them who will die if you fight again, it's us!" No one could hear him, and the rumbling noise in the sky filled everyone's eardrums, and everyone had to put on earplugs or cover their ears so as not to be deaf, and after receiving a call for help from the paratrooper tank, a small team of Hawk-3s in the sky rushed almost against the treetops.
The Indonesian battalion commander lamented: "It's over! ”
These 12 fighters came too suddenly, and they caught the air defense squadron of the 7th Division by surprise, and in the midst of the commander's jumping and scolding, the anti-aircraft machine guns were spinning around on the launcher, but they could not lock on to the target.
When the twelve plague gods finally pulled up like a grace and could lock on to the target, before they could fire, the machine gun shells swept over at a rate of hundreds of rounds per second, the anti-aircraft armored vehicles were smashed into thousands of holes, fireworks erupted, the anti-aircraft artillery became a ground-to-ground rocket launcher, scurrying around like fireworks, and the high-performance explosives and fuel inside the missile body turned into passionate light and heat on the position of the Ikeda brigade, and many soldiers did not even have time to scream. It was completely lost in this most terrible and scorching torrent of death.
An anti-aircraft artillery car rushed out of the sea of fire like a biker racing car, and the shells of the anti-aircraft artillery were fired into the sky in a line, but unfortunately, the shells fired by a combat vehicle preemptively broke it apart, and the next few out-of-control anti-aircraft shells scurried around in the sky like flies whose heads had been screwed off.
Circling around the Ikeda brigade, singing a song that was embattled and ambushed on all sides. After packing up the air defense squadron, the Chinese fighters began to press down, and low-resistance aerial bombs and aviation rockets hail like hail of bombs and rockets smashed on the heads of the Ikeda brigade and the Indonesian infantry battalion, and the position of the two brothers turned into a mountain of flames in the blink of an eye, and more than a hundred soldiers flew to ashes.
This time, Ikeda finally saw the madness of the Chinese army: when the bombs were dropped, they were smashed with aviation rockets, and when the aviation rockets ran out, they were swept with machine guns, and later even the machine gun shells were gone, and these plague gods still refused to leave, hovering at low altitude over and over again above their heads, and it is estimated that if the pilot had a rifle in his hand, he would have jumped down and fought with them with a bayonet!
Two battalion-sized units made twelve planes fall to the ground, it's just a joke! Ikeda Nakasa was furious and ordered his soldiers to use individual shoulder-fired rocket launchers and anti-aircraft guns to attack the air, and be sure to give these fighters a little color! The Dongying soldiers and Indonesian soldiers, who were also extremely angry, shouldered individual shoulder-fired rocket launchers, but before they could launch, bundles of aviation rockets covered them like meteors, and a large group of hideous helicopters rose from the ground and appeared in front of their eyes. Flesh and blood fly, blood-red flames rising into the sky!
Behind the helicopters, there was a steady stream of tanks, the main force of the paratrooper units. And in the tank group, you can see the twenty-four domineering Chinese Tiger main battle tanks in the middle.
This time, Ikeda's brigade is about to lose blood luck, and now it is called heaven and earth to be ineffective. The terrifying chariots poured into the position like a rising tide, and many of the wounded soldiers were so frightened that they were still desperately crawling to try to escape, but they were swept into the tank tracks and rolled into a steaming mass of flesh. It looks like the favorite specialty food of the Toei people - sushi!
Unstoppable. I really can't stop it.
Ikeda Nakasa could only give the order to fight and retreat, and if he didn't retreat, the entire brigade would have to be handed over here. All the tanks and armored vehicles that had not yet been blown apart were pushed to maximum speed, and they were able to fire and retreat as they fired. It wasn't until the distance widened that Taijun Ikeda found out. Chinese army tanks seem to have the upper hand in long-range fire. Almost no bullets. One after another, the cannonballs and meteors crossed the long distance, piercing the inside of the hull of the Dongying chariot, and lifting their glans into the air!
it. Which perverted designer designed a perverted tank! An enraged Ikeda cursed in his heart. He looked at the rear with the eyes of a resentful woman looking forward to the adulterer's tryst, and never saw the lovely fire flashing, but saw a Chinese army chariot parked by the bridge, dismantling the group of remote-controlled bombs that had gone on strike at a critical moment to demand better treatment, and he even saw a Chinese army general spit on the group of bombs and throw this group of expensive bombs into the foaming river like garbage.
At the Battle of Mashi Bridge, Ikeda's brigade was almost completely annihilated, and at the cost of destroying twelve light tanks of the Chinese paratroopers.
Inside the temporary station of the rear paratroopers.
"Report to the commander, the tank units have begun to pass through the granite bridge, and the follow-up main forces have also begun to approach the granite bridge."
In Xu Shiyou's opinion, the Mashi Bridge is indeed a fatal place, and he has already learned it in detail when he carried out this mission. If you want to get close to Kanbaru City quickly, you must seize the granite bridge. Because this is the only bridge capable of passing the main battle tank. This is naturally thanks to the bridge built by Japan, which at least saved the Chinese army a lot of trouble.
Of course, even if the paratroopers can't seize the granite bridge in the first place, Xu Shiyou is not out of the question. The arrival of the Army Aviation Unit and the Kunpeng Transport Plane was accompanied by a Boat Bridge Company. It was only a matter of time before a temporary bridge was erected, which was not very long. But then again, the importance of time to the battlefield is self-evident. Therefore, the granite bridge had to be occupied.
"Pass my order, the whole army quickly cross the bridge, the armored units are all refueled, and then the real battle will follow." Xu Shiyou said.
"Report, the two army aviation regiments of the jungle army to support us have arrived, and they are temporarily assigned to the command series of our army."
"Tell them to assemble immediately to the place of attack."
――――――
For Ganbaru, deep in the heart of the eye of the storm, there is no one more able to feel the power of the eastern dragon of China than this city. The wailing city, along with the Allied soldiers trapped in the ruined city, had to endure the ravages and torments of the dragon's power, a long wait that was extremely painful.
When night fell the next day, a full day had passed since the paratroopers had landed. Nearly half of the city has fallen into the hands of the Chinese army. And the Chinese did not stop their military operations just because night fell. On the contrary, such a dark night is a perfect time for the Chinese army to attack. And the Allied soldiers trapped in the ruins can only resign themselves to fate.
War is what war is, it is destruction, it is torture, it is a long process of punishment of the defeated by the victors. Under the fire of the machine guns and artillery of the Chinese army, Ganbaru was unfortunately part of this punishment.
The large-caliber howitzer shells continued to fall one after another, as if the Chinese artillery fire was always like this, as if their shells could not be used up no matter what, for the Allied soldiers trapped in the city, in the midst of this continuous explosion of artillery fire, to endure the sky-high and firelight and thunder-like loud noise, how painful it was.
And the despair that awaits death makes people feel uncontrollable pain. This physical and mental torture was undoubtedly extremely heart-wrenching for the poor Allied soldiers.
Maybe war is like that. It always ends everything in its own way, whether it's thinking beings or cold buildings created by humans. When war came, all of this was so fragile that it wasn't even enough to mention. On the maps of military commanders, any glorious human construction project is just a symbolic symbol. And the soldier is just a number under the number of the number.
Swarms of helicopter gunships flew through the night sky like locusts, and higher in the sky were groups of bombers that were hidden in the darkness. As it swept through the sky, the distant roar was like the grim laughter of death.
The wheeled armored vehicles driving through the streets ran over the corpses everywhere, and the iron flow of the Chinese army swept in this way. The infantry fighting vehicles, loaded with machine guns, became China's lightweight, mobile fortresses, stacked with thick armor and sandbags. However, the on-board fire was extremely ferocious, strafing the ruins in all directions.
At this time, the main force attacking Gambaru. One more medium motorized infantry division. Take advantage of the rapid delivery capability of transport aircraft to provide combat support to paratroopers after they are airborne.
However, it seems that China also has some scruples. After all, street fighting is different from field offensive combat. Nowhere is this more evident than in street fighting, the poor protection of wheeled armored fighting vehicles. Allied anti-tank rocket artillery and anti-tank mines. It is possible to directly bombard these poorly protected wheeled chariots into the sky.
It was precisely because of his scruples that Chen Shao learned from the US military stationed in Iraq what the 'Stryker' fighting vehicle had done very early on, and also welded protective fences on their wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. Used to block RPG attacks.
The original Chinese tank body embedded in the car air conditioning and engine muffler protection, has always been the use of mesh protective cover, which is obviously the weak link of the vehicle protection. The Red Alert infantry series of combat vehicles has changed the disadvantages of the past and adopted a shutter-type inclined edge combination armor similar to that widely used in European and American ground combat vehicles. In this way, it not only has better protection ability, but also does not affect the internal and external communication of heat dissipation air, which greatly improves the protection performance of the whole vehicle.
However, when the Red Police wheeled infantry fighting vehicle entered the rubble city of Ganbaru, the Chinese soldiers still prepared for the protection of this medium-sized wheeled motor vehicle. Chen Shao also pulled over the native inventions of the Israelis in the Gaza Strip in later generations, and although the method of hanging thick armor protection on the hull and opposing sandbags made the whole car look ugly, it made the side and back of the chariot able to strafe 12.7mm machine gun bullets.
The concept of welding protective fences, also known as 'fence armor add-on modules', which was later invented by the US forces in Iraq in Iraq, has indeed made the combat vehicle have great protection against anti-tank rockets. Even for a while, Russian troops stationed in Chechnya attached this kind of cage-like thing to their BMP tanks. So the method seems to be a bit dirty, and the concept is very simple, just the word 'isolation', but the effect is really good.
For the Allied soldiers hiding in their rubble bunkers, the 30mm guns on these wheeled infantry fighting vehicles were their biggest nightmare. The ferocious 30mm cannons licked the bricks and tiles between the ruins again and again with their serpent-like chains of fire. Sub-caliber armor-piercing anti-explosive shells are too cruel to deal with bunkers.
Many of the hapless Allied soldiers were in what they thought were safe bunkers, and they were blown to pieces by penetrating sub-armor-piercing bombs. If there is no decent resistance at all, it is a tragic death.
The fall of night makes China like a fish in water. Chinese soldiers, armed with night vision devices and thermal imagers, seem to be very interested in this one-way transparent combat mode. Thermal imaging weapon sighting devices and night vision sensor display devices on infantry fighting vehicles can directly develop the situation on the battlefield on the display inside the combat vehicle through optical projection devices.
And what about the Allied soldiers, they have nothing. The devices on the Chinese infantry fighting vehicles, not to mention that they will see it, in their country, many of them are still conceptual things.
The intensity of the battle was almost unimaginable, and although it was not as bloody as the battle of Singapore in the Southeast Asian War, it was no less intense.
The powerful Kunpeng transport plane was transported back and forth after a day's work. It's already a place where heavy troops are gathered.
The artillery fire from afar ploughed bright ballistics in the night again and again, illuminating the sky and the sky in a fiery red. Hundreds of Chinese soldiers marched between the cities toward the pre-planned offensive roadmap of their companies and platoons. Bombs, shells, directional blasting devices, blowing up entire cities to the sky.
Under the combined cover of powerful air-ground integration, the armored bulldozers of the Engineering Support Company seemed to be unaware of the hoarse roar of their engines. The rubble and bricks raised by the shovel buried the Allied soldiers hiding in the rubble directly in their bunkers. A city in Nuoda was stirred up by the sound of explosions and the roar of motors.
The significance of the battle of Ganbaru is extremely important for the Chinese army, and for the paratrooper troops, this significance has another level, because this operation is to test the specific combat power of the preliminary digitized troops in urban street battles and the applicability of technical equipment from the perspective of actual combat.
It is precisely because of this that this war is dominated by the paratroopers and army aviation units with the highest scientific and technological content.
What is the significance of fighting this battle well for the Chinese Army, everyone in the Ministry of Defense understands very well. The army of a large country should not only be composed of heavy divisions with hundreds or thousands of tanks and tracked infantry fighting vehicles, but should include various forces such as local defense, overseas force projection, mobile dispatch, rapid response, and so on.
Although heavy divisions have the advantages of heavy divisions, the motorized infantry divisions after medium-sized should be responsible for the task of dispatching mobile forces at the first time and with the first response. Although it cannot be compared with such a rapid reaction force as the Airborne Forces. But the motorized infantry division could be used as a second group of arriving forces. Provide some force support for light infantry divisions such as airborne divisions. And until the arrival of the hoplites. This completes the transformation of the attack mode of operation.
To a certain extent, this change in thinking also shows that the Chinese military has a clear position in the use of its own forces. From the past 'Continental Army Thinking' to 'Synthetic Military Force'. The Army is no longer just shouldering the task of defending the homeland, but is shouldering the historical mission of going out. Under the three-in-one joint force concept of the Air Force, Navy, and Army, the Chinese armed forces will increasingly take global power projection and interference in overseas affairs as their own responsibilities.
There used to be such thoughts. But there are no such means. Now there's everything. It's almost theoretical.
From 1840 to the present, China, which was once ridiculed as the "sick man of East Asia", has been stung in the face by the sign "Chinese and dogs are not allowed" set up by the colonial agency "Public Concession Industry Bureau" hanging in front of Shanghai's Huangpu Park. In those days. When in a country that is neither militarily nor economically able to protect itself. Who would have thought that half a year later, China would send out a dragon's roar to the world.
Since 1840 to the present, China has lost too much, so when the new China stands up again, the younger generation of China also knows that it is for their parents, grandparents, and those who have tirelessly contributed their life's work to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation from 1840 to the present, and for all China from 1840 to the present, to regain those lost faces. Finding them back one by one is like finding the fallen leaves in the bleak autumn wind.
Although the soldiers who are fighting on the front lines are not able to experience this at a deeper level, all of them know and know what they are fighting for. For the sake of the future of the Republic, for the sake of giving future generations a glorious history that can be written, for the Chinese nation not to suffer that difficult and humiliating tragedy, and for the thousands of 'descendants of the dragon' called 'China', they know that even if they recommend Xuanyuan Tai with their full blood, as long as they can exchange those millions of 'for', they can still smile under Jiuquan.
Where the loess can not be buried a loyal bone, perhaps it is these efforts that make the Chinese nation begin to truly rejuvenate and become strong, lay down that vast territory, and rewrite the glory comparable to the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties in the past.
"Looking back at that period of history, maybe we can't remember where we started and where we really started, and when we are faced with the country marked as CHINA on the map, how should we recall its history of revival! Maybe that's where history began! French writer Shaw-Jacques-Pepin, "History Oh Can Begin Here" - "Preface" (to be continued......
