Chapter 263 263 Dragon's Breath Landing

"This should be the work of the Marine Corps, let's do it, it's too nondescript." Li Ying, a member of the Dragon's Breath Squad, smacked his lips and complained. has been in the Dragon's Breath squad for more than a year, and he has also been promoted from the beginning of the soldier to the sergeant, although the rank has gone up, but the flying and jumping temperament has not changed.

Captain Su Tian slapped him on the shoulder fiercely, making Li Ying grin, and the captain said: "Such a great achievement in recovering Taiwan, what's the matter, do you still want to do it?" ”

The firepower player Niu Jianha said with a smile: "Defeat Taiwan, not to mention medals or anything, at least there is a 'Commemorative Medal for the Liberation of Taiwan', which is enough to pass on to several generations." ”

As Qi Yiming's involvement in the military became deeper and larger, he brought in more of his personal military merit system. A commemorative medal will be made for each battle, honoring the merits of the warriors who fought bloodily. Several wars that did not exist, such as the South Korean counterinsurgency, the Sino-Soviet border war, the Malayan Overseas Chinese War, and the South China Sea Liberation, all had their own medals. Then there is the National Defense Service Medal issued to every veteran. The first, second, and third-class military merit medals have also been redesigned and renamed the first-class Gold Heart Medal, the second-class Silver Heart Medal, and the third-class Bronze Heart Medal. In addition, an iron heart medal was added, mainly because according to the previous merit system, after equipment and training, the first and second class merit appeared explosively, so the reward standard was raised. The Iron Heart Medal is not counted as a first, second, or third class merit, and it can be obtained by achieving battle results.

In addition, the National Hero's Medal (originally called the Heroic Model Medal), which originally appeared in 2010, was also introduced in the military to recognize soldiers who have made significant contributions to the country. Then there is the August 1st Army Flag Medal proposed by Qi Yiming to reward outstanding soldiers in service, or to make outstanding contributions to society and the people. In fact, this chapter is mainly awarded to those who have not performed military meritorious deeds such as rescuing students who have fallen into the water, saving money to support poor students, and so on.

Each branch of the military also has its own unique medals, such as the Army's Sword-wielding Guardian Medal, the Navy's Naval Frontier Guardian Medal, the Air Force's Blue Sky Guardian Medal, and the Second Artillery Corps' Great Wall Guardian Medal.

A richer system of military merits and awards will naturally help boost and motivate the morale of the soldiers and make them more energetic in combat. So when Niu Jian mentioned the medals at this time, Li Ying also became complacent and wanted to win a few more medals.

But teammate Bai Ma Ajia is very realistic, he said: "Li Ying has a narrow chest, and if he takes a few medals, he will probably hang it on his stomach." ”

Li Ying was very helpless about this man from western Sichuan, and he complained about it, but this effect repeatedly made everyone laugh.

At this time, a voice came from the broadcast in the cabin of several people: "All attention, there are still 15 minutes to start the landing operation, please check the equipment of all units and prepare for the landing." ”

Guan Xi, who was originally leaning on his seat to take a nap, was a little stunned, and said, "It's impossible to arrive so soon." ”

Su Tian said with a smile: "Why is it impossible, this is the latest large-scale rapid landing hovercraft successfully developed by our navy, the maximum speed can reach 72 knots, and the cruising speed is as much as 65 knots, it is the largest and fastest air cushion landing craft in service in the world, oh no, the tonnage of this thing has reached 800 tons, so it is more suitable to become an air cushion landing ship." ”

Naturally, this landing ship that everyone was riding on was not a European Bison-class landing ship that the Celestial Empire had bought from Ukraine in the future, but a torrent ACV from Red Alert 3. This huge hovercraft is a little larger than the European Bison with a full load displacement of 555 tons, reaching a full load of 800 tons, and the appearance of the European Bison adds a bit of science fiction to the European Bison, with three large turbines and two very special auxiliary jet engines, giving this sea transport vehicle a strong athletic ability.

She can carry 6 Grizzlies or 5 Type 99 tanks when fully loaded, or 15 Type 09 infantry fighting vehicles or MIFV multipurpose infantry vehicles (including landing soldiers), and can reach up to 700 troops when only sending troops. It itself was also armed with a six-barreled 30mm close-in defense gun, two 12 guns. The 7mm heavy machine gun and even two quadruple anti-aircraft missile launchers are also capable of firing anti-ship light torpedoes, carrying a relatively portable sonar system with certain anti-submarine capabilities.

After knowing the powerful carrying capacity and combat effectiveness of the Riptide ACV, Qi Yiming didn't think about the bison at all. The Bison itself is an oversized hovercraft, and it can't fit into the 075 amphibious landing ship or the 071 dock landing ship at all, and these large landing warships can only use hovercraft of the 726 class. In this case, it is better to use a torrent ACV with stronger self-defense capabilities and a stronger carrying capacity, and the price of a torrent ACV is not much more expensive than that of a bison.

In this landing operation, Qi Yiming mobilized as many as 40 torrent ACVs manufactured last month to participate in the battle, plus the seven 071 dock landing ships, the Hainan modified amphibious ship, and the Shangri-La modified amphibious ship that the navy rushed in one after another, and the assault landing force could reach the scale of a reinforced brigade.

Naturally, these are only the first wave of troops to rush to the beach and land, and after they occupy the port and control the situation, more soldiers and equipment will land on Taiwan Island by military ships and civilian boats.

Li Zhisheng, commander of the base camp commanding the landing operation, deployed: "The ACV beach-rushing landing and the vertical helicopter landing should be synchronized, and the Air Force and the Navy are asked to confirm once again that the landing area has been cleared by the enemy's defense forces." ”

The landing area is chosen to be on the beachhead off the coast of Taoyuan County, which is not only closest to the target that Qi Yiming is bound to capture, the Nuclear Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Taiwan, but also the Taoyuan Airport is close to the left, and the landing force can rush into the Taoyuan Airport in more than 10 minutes, thus obtaining an air force operational fulcrum and preparing for the follow-up transport aircraft unit to transport more soldiers and materials here.

Su Tian gave the most reprimanded to his teammates at this time: "Our team rarely fights this kind of battle, but this time we must go." We must not only rush to the front, but also rush quickly. At the Yuanshulin Nuclear Research Institute, 20 kilometers from the landing site, there is a nuclear warhead with a yield of about 10,000 tons developed by the Taiwan military, and our task is to take out this nuclear warhead at all costs and send it safely to China, so as to remove the nuclear threat to our southeast coast. In addition, we cannot allow this nuclear bomb to explode in Taiwan like this. ”

Demoman Guan Xi likes to engage in these things, he added: "I will explain to you here the principle of the detonation of a nuclear bomb, although it is not clear whether the nuclear warhead developed by Taiwan is a plutonium bomb or a uranium bomb, but the principle is much the same." In a nuclear warhead, the warhead charge is divided into several parts, each part is close to the critical mass, and its outer layer is wrapped with ordinary explosives, and when detonated, the ordinary explosives in the outer layer must be detonated first, destroying the barrier between the nuclear charges of each part, and the nuclear charges that lose the barrier will be quickly squeezed together, so that the mass of the nuclear charge exceeds the critical mass, and an uncontrollable chain reaction will be produced, which is what we usually call a chain reaction, resulting in a real nuclear explosion. ”

Su Tian continued: "One of our carelessness caused the ferocious enemy to detonate a nuclear bomb, which is very likely to cause hundreds of thousands of lives in Taoyuan County and Taipei County, and the radiation pollution caused by the nuclear explosion will drift to our southeast coast, causing irreversible radiation damage to the residents of our mainland." Not to mention, our own lives will be at risk, and most importantly, we will make the mission fail. "For the Special Forces, the mission is naturally more important than their own lives.

Li Ying shuddered a little, "The nuclear research institute is full of nerds, and they won't have the courage to die with us with a nuclear bomb." ”

"Who knows, maybe the scientists don't have the guts, but the KMT agents guarding there will do it." Bai Ma Ajia said that everyone has seen a lot of old movies to prevent the enemy, and those traitors and KMT spies in it are all apprehensive, who knows that they can't do anything that has lost their conscience.

Su Tian encouraged everyone again: "No matter what, we must cheer up and deal with all possible difficulties. ”

Li Ying said again: "Let's go to the hovercraft, get off the boat and get on the chariot, and rush all the way for at least half an hour, I'm afraid there are other deployments on it." ”

Su Tian was very satisfied with Li Ying's acuity, and he said, "That's right, we are not the only team to receive the task to ensure the safety of the mission objective and transfer the mission. As far as I know, at least four squads of our Dragon's Breath Commando have received this mission, and the Evil Jiao Commando of the Marine Corps has also participated, and even the snow leopards and falcons of the armed police have also participated. The first to arrive was the Marine Special Operators who were going to make a vertical drop-in, but we were worried that the enemy would besiege them, so we would support them with ground troops. In the early stage, the search mission was mainly on the side of the Marine Corps and the Armed Police, and we were mainly engaged in responding and attacking fortified positions in order to make sure that everything was perfect. ”

White Horse Ajia said: "Our work is quite light, the first batch of helicopters to send over is really deep behind enemy lines, it seems that our dragon breath is not as important as the evil Jiao." ”

Niu Jian said hesitantly: "I can't say that, our dragon breath is still an army after all, and there are more of them, and it is easy to converge into a relatively powerful offensive, and the evil Jiao, falcon, and snow leopard, each team has only about a hundred people who can really fight, and they are all playing those things that come and go, and they really calm down to fight tough battles, I don't think they can necessarily do it." ”

"Regardless, our vocation is to obey orders." Su Tian said in a deep voice, holding the Type 95-2 automatic rifle in his hand, and walked into an infantry fighting vehicle with an expressionless face. The Type 09 infantry fighting vehicle has good mobility and the ability to float without preparation, that is, because it is a little heavy and cannot be airborne, otherwise it is not inferior to the all-round ability of the MIFV.

In addition to their own fighters, they also have another infantry squad to fight with them. Plus a Type 99 main battle tank cleared the way for them and formed their assault squad.
