Chapter 648 648 Electromagnetic Cannon on the Border
Lush tropical forests cover verdant mountains, and roads wind through the mountains, which are basically the same terrain from China through Myanmar to the India-Myanmar border for generations. More than half a century ago, the Chinese Expeditionary Force also retreated into India from this road, and under the leadership of General Sun Liren, they counterattacked northern Burma from India, and finally achieved an immortal victory.
Time flies, China, Burma and India have long since changed, in the past, with 400,000 soldiers fighting half of the bloody battle, China, which tried to protect the Yunnan-Burma road, has become the world's superpower, India and Burma are independent from the British colony, these countries have entered the opposite side for their own national interests, and started a large-scale war.
The members of the Su Tian squad of the Dragon's Breath Commando are basically nearly forty or forty years old at this time, and they no longer go to the front-line battlefield to carry out special tasks a few years ago, originally many of them have been retired and demobilized, but the full-scale outbreak of the war has made these soldiers who are not young enough to be called up again, at this time their task is no longer special operations, but to serve as the senior non-commissioned officer of the unit, assisting the officers in managing the company-scale troops.
Li Ying and White Horse Ajia sat in the compartment of a spacious MIFV infantry fighting vehicle command vehicle, recalling all the experiences they had experienced during the journey, and when it came to excitement, they were also dancing, the two of them had been friends who tossed and frolicked each other since they were young, and White Horse Ajia was a sullen character, which always made Li Ying very helpless.
"Is Captain Su really not going back to the army?" Li Ying mentioned that he had followed the captain for many years, and he was a little melancholy.
White Horse Ajia nodded and said: "After all, he is old, he is almost fifty years old, although his energy and skills have not degraded anything, but his psychology has changed." Captain Su's eldest son is already in college, and his younger son is also in high school, so the pressure is not small. Besides, he has contributed a lot to the army and the country in his life, and the current army is not short of an old horse like him, so let him live his life in peace. ”
Li Ying sighed softly: "It's still a pity, to say that there is no one in our team who is good at playing with a pen, otherwise it is estimated that it is a very legendary story to be able to record our affairs over the years." ”
The Su Tian team has participated in many large and small wars and conflicts, they have fought the Vietnamese in the jungles of the southwest border, they have protected scientists in the black science and technology center in Central Asia, they have raised nuclear weapons in the liberation of Taiwan Island, and they have trampled on the last dignity of the woolly bear on the frozen soil of Russia. It can be said that their story is the epitome of China's military front in recent years, and it is also a profile of China's rise from a second-rate military country in the past to today's status.
Several young men dedicated all their youth to the special forces, were born and died for so many years, completed hundreds of difficult tasks, and wrote their immortal achievements. When it comes to what they did back then, Li Ying and White Horse Ajia are very proud, not all fighters can repeatedly rush to the front line like them and complete those thrilling but critical special tasks.
"Maybe we can find a novelist or something, and we'll dictate it for him to polish it." White Horse Ajia came up with an idea.
Li Ying clapped his hands again and again in agreement: "Yes, yes, haha, but our story should not be over yet, although we have withdrawn from the team, but we old guys are still fighting, and after this big battle, it is estimated that it will be the final end of our military career." ”
With a hint of longing, Bai Ma Ajia said: "This battle is really over, I'm afraid we won't need to fight any battles for another century." This is truly a battle to establish our country's dominance on this planet. ”
"Hey, the big guys will naturally think about these things, let's just do our part. In the future, we will tell our descendants about the events of that year, and we will be worthy of our heart, and we have a share of the credit for what this country has built. Li Ying said with a smile.
While the two were chatting, the military-type mission tablet at hand showed the new combat deployment of the superior. At this time, the armed forces had already achieved a high degree of informationization, and all combat orders were promulgated through the guò information system, and the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level could receive direct orders from the command headquarters, and the command headquarters could also get direct feedback from the soldiers at the most basic level, and the traditional way of issuing orders had been completely replaced.
"It seems that there is still an abnormality in the Indian army, how good it is for this group of Ah San to be eliminated by us or captured by us, if you don't see the Yellow River and don't give up, you can compare and measure with us." Li Ying glanced at the tablet and smiled.
Bai Ma Ajia said: "If they don't take the initiative to send it to the door, and we want to go to them, it's not cost-effective, so it's best." ”
At this time, the officers of this unit sent an order: "Two non-commissioned officers, please assist our artillery in the deployment of the established positions and provide long-range artillery fire support to our front-line armored units." ”
"Yes!"
Li Ying and Bai Ma Ajia's errand this time was relatively simple, and this was also to take care of their older non-commissioned officers, so as to avoid letting them charge into battle and cause too many dangers and losses. The two led an artillery unit, equipped with the army's newly developed PL-00 100mm caliber self-propelled electromagnetic gun. This kind of electromagnetic cannon takes the artillery company as the basic unit, including one command vehicle, one radar vehicle, two charging vehicles, and six electromagnetic cannon carrying trucks.
Because there is no need to propel propellants, and the propulsion is purely electric, the shell warhead of the PL-00 electromagnetic gun is larger and more terrifying, and the kinetic energy of electromagnetic propulsion makes this army gun not only have a range of more than 100 kilometers, but also the damage ability is amazing.
This kind of artillery was officially finalized and produced in 2000, although it surpassed the traditional chemical energy self-propelled artillery in many numbers such as launch cost, damage power, and firing range, but because this is the first generation of practical electromagnetic guns, there is a certain instability, and the military did not purchase too large-scale PL-00 artillery, and only equipped some artillery units of group armies for verification and exploration.
The direct artillery unit of the 65th Group Army, where Li Ying and Bai Ma Ajia are now located, is equipped with a certain amount of PL-00 electromagnetic guns, and the leaders of the group army attach great importance to the use of new weapons, and even push the military direct electromagnetic artillery unit to the position of the second leading mechanized unit, ready to provide artillery support to the friendly troops in front at any time. Naturally, the command of the army group will not completely count on the electromagnetic guns, and the PLZ-05 self-propelled artillery and Type 89 self-propelled rocket artillery under the subordinate units of various units will follow the position of the advanced mechanized troops and carry out close artillery support.
After the six artillery trucks stopped, they pulled open their gun jackets and immediately entered the combat state, the PL-00 electromagnetic gun is still very unique in design, the reaction time from marching to shooting is extremely short, only one minute at most, after obtaining the attack coordinates sent by the friendly forces in front, the electromagnetic gun is charged, and then the projectile is placed on the artillery rail, aiming at the target at a position of about 90 kilometers, and a round of salvo is carried out.
Adopting the latest "cloud weapon" combat concept, the PL-00 electromagnetic guns can form a cloud space network with each other, realizing closer and tacit coordinated strikes, and the gunner who is attacking only needs to press a button, and six artillery trucks can fire shells at the same time.
Li Ying and Bai Ma Ajia looked at the electromagnetic cannon without gunsmoke and fire, and not only sighed at the changes of the times.
"With a distance of more than 100 kilometers, in the past, we could only use attack aircraft, even short-range ballistic missiles and large-caliber rocket artillery to bombard, but now this kind of electromagnetic cannon with a small caliber and small volume can directly complete the attack, and the attack is so concealed and efficient, the war is changing at a speed that we can't imagine." Li Ying said as he looked at the shelling of the electromagnetic cannon with his hands behind his back.
The tablet in the hand of the white horse Ajia transmitted a real-time evaluation of the effect of the shelling, "The enemy target has been severely defeated!" "At the same time, there is also live footage from the drone flying ahead, which makes it easier for them to make decisions.
The attacked Indian army is an armored unit of the Indian army, and their task is to intercept the Chinese mechanized troops that have entered the Indian state of Manipur, because they have suffered too much from the Chinese who are good at fighting, the Indian army this time sent a regiment-sized armored corps, with forty or fifty combat vehicles and tanks, and the 65th Group Army is at the forefront of a road-opening machine infantry battalion, although the equipment is better, but it is still a little troublesome to face an enemy several times its own.
But before the Indian armored troops and the Chinese infantry battalion could engage the enemy, the self-propelled guns distributed in the rear of the vanguard troops and the PL-00 electromagnetic guns further behind had already stopped and began to launch a thunderous and fierce artillery attack on the Indian army. Although these artillery pieces did not directly penetrate the Indian armored troops, the continuous bombardment still caused heavy losses to the Indian army, and delayed the fighters attacking the vanguard of the Chinese infantry battalion.
The PL-00 electromagnetic cannon uses the latest technology of graphene batteries, which can fire more than 60 shells in a row after a single charge. Moreover, the interval between the launch of shells and shells is relatively small, and there is no cooling of the barrel, so the electromagnetic cannon is fired again and again, and what is even more powerful is that with the help of friendly troops, school shooting drones and other means, the shells fired by the electromagnetic cannon at a distance of nearly 100 kilometers are still like missiles, constantly destroying Indian combat vehicles and tanks, and harvesting the lives of Indian soldiers.
However, after more than ten rounds of shelling, the PL-00 still showed its instability, and the two artillery trucks had firing failures and could only temporarily withdraw from the shelling. However, at this time, the Indian armored troops had already been beaten to the ground with blue noses and swollen faces, and the Chinese infantry battalion that rushed to the front did not evade, and directly attacked this Indian armored regiment with the cooperation of the Sky Tengu attack planes.
