Entering Johor Bahru with 10 sickle mecha mountain battalions finally added a little weight to the already unbalanced scales. A mecha leads a platoon of infantry to take advantage of the complex and chaotic urban environment to counterattack the Ma soldiers who have invaded the city. On the other side, hundreds of dogs carried by the mountain infantry were also released, and they had enough intelligence to discern the enemy and destroy them, but whether or not to treat them as dinner was another matter.

Wang Fuhai's squad strode forward with a scythe mecha, ready to meet the friendly forces in the west of the city who were still struggling to resist the invasion of the Ma army. However, they were not very lucky, and within a kilometer or two of walking, they encountered the enemy in a low-rise complex.

The Ma army that invaded Johor Bahru quickly set up fire points on some important communication arteries, after all, they were the head of the land, and understood that the important nodes in Johor Bahru could cause trouble for the SPLA once they were recaptured. Even if they advanced cautiously, Wang Fuhai's team still suffered a lot of losses when they were raided.

As soon as the fire was fired, six fighters were hit, two of whom were killed instantly. This is the cruelty of street fighting, the narrow space will suppress the ability of the dominant side, and the mental calculation will definitely achieve a certain effect.

"Get cover!" The platoon commander shouted, and the soldiers immediately hunched over and ran away, avoiding exposing themselves to the open street.

"Be careful, upstairs on the other side!" A corporal shouted, and saw a horse soldier holding an RPG bazooka at the window of the two-story building less than fifty meters ahead, facing the core weapon of the Southern Liberation Army squad, the sickle mecha, which was a rocket.

The rocket directly hit the turret of the sickle mecha, causing a violent explosion, but fortunately this rocket was not a special armor-piercing rocket, although the explosion fell the sickle mecha, but it was not completely destroyed, and the crew inside was only concussed and not killed.

The machine gunner in the scythe mecha immediately operated the machine gun to aim at the window, and a piece of bullet shot out of the window, and the dense fire immediately overwhelmed the horse army to raise his head, and one monkey soldier was directly killed, and the others did not dare to come out of it.

Dodging the bullets fired by the Ma army, the three PLA soldiers quickly set up a mortar position, as a mountain force, they deployed four 60mm mortars in each company, and after the platoon was the unit of action, each platoon carried a 60 mortar as heavy firepower. After the three soldiers set up the mortar, they quickly calculated and fired Zhu Yuan, aimed at the enemy's small building, and the gunner dodged after throwing the shell like a barrel, and the shell burst out with a bang, hitting the target directly.

The shell that hit the wall on the second floor hit a large hole in the unsturdy building.

This was not over, and another soldier took out the 80mm rocket launcher he was carrying and fired at another enemy fire point. In terms of firepower, the Ma army is completely incomparable with the PLA, not to mention light weapons, this platoon alone carries a mortar, three 80mm rocket launchers, and their 95-1 rifles are equipped with rails that can be attached to gun grenade launchers.

At best, the Ma army has one RPG, and there are not a few bullets in total, the others are automatic rifles, and the ammunition is also limited. When the Scythe Mecha resumed operation, it rushed directly into the first floor of the building, and three machine guns fired at the upper floor, eliminating all the surviving militants on the second floor.

The exchange of fire was generally smooth, with 29 enemy killed and 3 captured, but there were also several casualties on their own side, and the officer leading the team also had a grim face. The scythe mecha was hit just now, although it was not scrapped, but there was also a slight failure, they didn't know how many horse troops were still in ambush in the city, if it continued like this, two more battles of this scale, their platoon would consume the ammunition brought out, and they had to retreat to get supplies again.

As in the case of this platoon, other squads also encountered a similar situation, the Ma army relied on their familiarity with the environment to repeatedly sneak attack the SPL soldiers in street battles, if it were not for their lack of firepower, maybe the SLA would have faced greater casualties now.

All the situation was truthfully fed back to Qi Yiming's hands, and Qi Yiming knew that it was indeed quite troublesome to deal with the Ma army when the troops were stretched.

"The three composite battalions of the 01st Brigade have set off, and they will arrive in Johor Bahru in about three hours!" In the operational command room, which seemed a little crowded, the staff officer reported to Qi Yiming.

Qi Yiming nodded and explained: "The troops who are already in Johor Bahru don't worry about guarding the city, their first task is to protect the local Chinese evacuation, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, the city can consume our battlefield, it can also be a battlefield that consumes the horse army, order all units not to be brutal, especially in the offensive battle, all grassroots commanders do not let the soldiers attack, try to control the battle damage, mark the target, and let the air force and army aviation do it!" ”

The PLA's air force and army aviation are now basically just erecting a rack, and the number of fighters is still not large, with only 12 FC-1 Thunder Dragons and 24 FBC-1 Flying Leopards, and only 10 Z-10 helicopter gunships.

The first wave of flying leopards returned after the attack, and the second wave of flying leopards almost flew to Johor Bahru City, even if they had a good down-looking attack radar, but the dense urban buildings still gave the pilots a lot of headaches, and it was difficult for the pilots to use their strengths. However, luckier than the first wave of flying leopards, there are now a certain number of their own infantry on the ground, who can search for enemy traces and guide the fighters in the sky to carry out bombing attacks.

The infantry who had changed their combat strategy began to transport the sickle mech backwards to ensure the success of the covering mission. At the same time, because these big guys are too good targets in the city, it is difficult to hide properly, and it is easy to expose the infantry who follow the action. So some soldiers and sickle mechs retreated to the west of the city to help the friendly troops retreat from the local Chinese compatriots, while some soldiers carefully shuttled through the city and started a reconnaissance mission to help the fighters in the sky find targets.

Johor Bahru is also a large city, with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, and although there are quite a few runs at the moment, it is quite difficult for the soldiers to find their enemies. Fortunately, the soldiers had their own helpers, and Wang Fuhai's squad leader summoned back the military dogs in his squad and sent them to search for Ma Jun. The military dogs clearly distinguish the difference between attack and search, and soon get busy in the city.

Not long after, a military dog ran back and pointed out a direction for Wang Fuhai and others.

The squad leader raised his binoculars and looked over there, and said, "About a dozen enemies, hiding in a corner grocery store, it's a good position, they will be attacked from three directions, okay, call for an air strike." ”

Wang Fuhai shouted: "Okay! He held a small laser marker and shot a laser over what appeared to be an ordinary grocery store.

"The coordinates have been accepted, Purple Thunder 2-6 is in attack mode!" A flying leopard in the sky swooped down, and an AR-2 missile under its wings ignited and was launched with a chirp. The missile hit the target without the slightest suspense, causing a violent explosion, the entire grocery store was overturned, and the flames were flying, no matter how many people were inside, it was unlikely that there would be survivors at this time.

Although the Flying Leopard has gradually faded out of the PLA Air Force, it is still a pretty good fighter. The Flying Leopard, which can carry nine tons of ammunition, will become the main ground attack combat force of the PLA Air Force, mainly engaged in the work of bombers and attack aircraft. In addition to missiles like the AR-2, there are also Flying Leopards that carry 36 FT-5 small-diameter bombs in one go with six composite pylons. This weapon itself is very small, and because it is a projectile, it has no autonomous power, so as many as 6 pieces can be collected on a pylon. After receiving the attack command, the flying leopard only needs to drop a bunch of bombs on the pylon, and then they will attack their target according to the preset program.

After adopting this attack mode, the effect was obviously much better, and the explosions and fires that flashed in the city constantly made the Ma army in front of the army urging the SPLA to protect the Chinese residents very panicked, and the commander of the Ma army had to order the troops in front to give up the pursuit of the PLA and withdraw to the city to help defend.

Mahathir's calculation was that after occupying Johor Bahru, he could use it as a springboard to gradually radiate the strength of the Ma army to other places. He was able to accept aid from the countries that supported him, recruit more troops, and continue to fight the Chinese. Therefore, when their commander was faced with chaos in the city, he immediately chose to keep the city, rather than gnaw the hard bone of the Southern Liberation Army after retreating.

It was only after this little-brained commander found out that once they broke away from direct contact with the rearguard SPF, their air force could attack the Ma army with impunity, because they no longer had to worry about accidentally injuring friendly troops and Chinese residents, but brought greater losses to this group of Ma troops.

An hour later, the Army Aviation unit, which had arrived from Kuala Lumpur, joined the battle. Specialized gunships and utility helicopters with Gatling guns made the plight of the Malay on the ground even worse. Some helicopters also immediately descended, and the medics carried the wounded fighters onto the helicopters and immediately went to the medical post in the rear for rescue.

Three hours later, the vanguard armored unit of the 01st Brigade rushed to Johor Bahru, and the situation of dozens of Grizzly Bear tanks opening the way indicated that the madness of the Ma army this time could not have any effect. As more and more troops moved into Johor Bahru, the SPLA emerged overwhelmingly and began to purge the remnants of the Malaysian army in the city. By the end of the day, the gunfire had died down in Johor Bahru and the PLA had won the final victory, retaking the southern town.

In this battle, which lasted less than a day, the PLA suffered nearly 100 casualties, which was the largest loss since the beginning of the war. However, they annihilated about 4,000 horsemen and captured more than 2,000 of them. Johor Bahru also suffered huge losses due to the intensity of the fighting, with hundreds of buildings destroyed and more than 1,000 civilians, most of them Malays.
