Chapter 265 265 Assault Road
After the rapids ACV came ashore, the dock hatch opened, and the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles slowly drove out. Then there were the infantry who fought in concert, all armed and rushed out with the armored vehicles.
At this moment the gunshots rang out, and several sparse tongues of fire burst out from the grass and woods, striking the armor of the chariot, causing some tinkling sounds.
"Damn, the Air Force didn't do any work, and there were panting people!" Shangguan Xi leaned on an infantry fighting vehicle and poked his head out to return fire at the place where the tongue of fire came from.
Su Tian's expression didn't change, "It's impossible to be so clean, although the terrain here is relatively open, but small groups of infantry are hiding in the grass or woods, which makes it difficult for the air force to clean up." However, there was no more heavy firepower, and the shore artillery and hard positions were largely pulled out. ”
As soon as he said this, a rocket shot out and hit a Type 99 tank in front, if it weren't for the thick skin of Type 99, an RPG would not be able to cause any damage to it, and it is estimated that this is the first PLA damage unit in this war.
Li Ying said angrily: "This is called no heavy firepower? it! ”
Niu Jian is very open, the bazooka is too easy to hide, but the number can't be too much, the outposts, fortifications and so on have been knocked out by us, and the rockets he carries with him shouldn't be able to hit a few times.
And the bazooka that exposed its position immediately became the target of the armored troops, and the 30mm cannon of a Type 09 tank was aimed at that position, regardless of 3721, knock is to shoot more than a dozen shells, and after the shells are finished, there is not even a tree standing in that area.
The Dragon's Breath squad each occupies a reef and other cover on the beachhead and counterattacks the enemy on the opposite side. The disparity in firepower was so great that there were far more infantry fighting with the armored forces than the sporadic counter-landings on the beachhead, and the artillery of the tanks and tanks was no joke, and after a few cannon shots, basically any of the enemies who resisted did not run.
"The beachhead is occupied!" The exchange of fire lasted only about ten minutes, with a few hapless soldiers wounded by bullets, about sixty of the enemy annihilated, and the landing force finally fully spread out on the beachhead.
"The 2nd Battalion will occupy Taipei Port to the north, and the 3rd Battalion will go out to conquer Taoyuan Airport!" The choice of landing site is actually very good, the hydrological conditions here are actually very bad, and small boats of several hundred tons may not be able to enter, although a few kilometers away is the port area, but it is indeed relatively barren here.
The PLA landing force is all ACV hovercraft, plus the soldiers who landed vertically, so they don't pick a place, they go ashore directly on the beachhead here, and after going ashore, it becomes quite easy to expand the results of the battle, the port and the airport are close to the left, as long as you take the battle behind, it will become quite easy.
Su Tian added some ammunition and said, "We don't go to the airport or the dock, we keep heading south, the target is the Nuclear Research Institute." ”
The officer on the front line nodded and said, "Then there is still a certain danger in the front of the breakthrough, I will send a company of armored soldiers to cover you." ”
Su Tian saluted: "Yes, chief." ”
Although it was assisted by a company of armored soldiers, this company actually did not have much troops, a total of 6 tanks, 3 armored vehicles, plus one tank and two armored vehicles on Su Tian's own side, a lineup of seven tanks and five armored vehicles was made, and the number of infantry who could fight on foot also reached 120 people.
Boarding the chariot and opening the way by 99, the squad left the main force behind and drove south without hesitation. The battle has already begun, although the early strikes have caused relatively heavy losses to the Taiwan army, and the Taiwan army has not really prepared for a counterattack, so there are not many troops engaged in anti-landing operations and defensive operations, and a considerable part of the Taiwan army has been in confusion and has actually fled the theater of operations and fled to Taipei or other places under the leadership of some cowardly and cowardly officials.
Of course, not all Taiwanese troops are timid, and there are still some loyal Taiwanese troops who cause trouble for Su Tian and others along the way. When the army was still on the mainland, it was really a mess, but after moving to Taiwan, Jiang Guang had a headache and began to reflect on the idea of army building, one of the major measures was to establish a political war department, which was actually to copy the political commissar of the red army, and then carry out anti-'communist' propaganda and propaganda within the whole army to brainwash the soldiers. Therefore, the strongest era of **** is not in the 21st century, nor before liberation, but in the sixties and seventies. At that time, the fruit army fought against the PLA and still achieved some definite results.
After entering the 80s, Taiwan's economy took off, and all kinds of hedonism and other trends of thought also infiltrated into the troops, and in addition, there was no real fight with the other side for a long time, so the combat effectiveness of the fruit army declined somewhat, but after all, compared with the completely strawberry Taiwan army in later generations, they still have some combat strength. Later, the whole Taiwan strawberry soldiers, when the temperature rose above 30 degrees, did not practice, soldiers were allowed to bring smartphones into the barracks, and soldiers with families could go home for the night at night, and that kind of army actually didn't have to fight.
As soon as they left the landing site, Su Tian's team drove into a farmland, Taiwan has a tropical and subtropical climate, and crops are growing in the field at this time. It's just that Su Tian didn't mean to protect the crops grown by the local farmers at all, and the tank tracks and chariot wheels rolled directly over the rice seedlings.
At this moment, the commander of the tank that opened the road shouted through the communication station: "Xinzi-1, Xinzi-1, this is Jiachen-2, thermal imaging shows signs of life about 300 meters in the direction of 2 o'clock, it may be deserters or ambushed infantry, please instruct." ”
In the mission, the army is not accustomed to naming fighters like the air force, and the previous holes and holes have also been abandoned, because each unit has more and more combat vehicles and something, and the pure numbers are not easy to remember and are not enough. And using the US military NATO's set of Tango and Charlie's is not grounded, so he suggested that the sexagenary branch should be distinguished.
After receiving the report, Su Tian said in a deep voice: "Wipe out the enemy!" "Naturally, he won't let go of any targets that pose a threat to the team, and while it may be a bit of a waste of time to take out these enemy soldiers, safety comes first.
The Type 99 main battle tank turned its turret around, aimed at the enemies in the thermal imaging response, and opened fire. The extremely accurate fire control caused the shells to hit the center of the group, killing four or five people on the spot, and the few others who found them hidden in the rice could still be found, which made them even more alarming.
"Don't fight, don't fight, we surrender!" shouted in Chinese with a Taiwanese accent, but unfortunately this group of people did not bring their own white flags, so they could not be heard clearly at such a distance from the other side.
The concentrated fire of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks made it not take long for these twenty people to be killed and maimed, Su Tian had no intention of collecting the corpses for them, he now had a more urgent task, so he informed the rear that he had experienced the battle, and there was a possibility that there would be a living mouth, so he would go first.
The farmland is surrounded by countryside, and it is not as densely populated as the countryside in the interior, and there are dozens of houses in the middle of large farmlands. The outbreak of the war made the local farmers very panicked, some hurriedly took their families and children to escape from the war zone, while others were frightened and overwhelmed, hiding at home and did not dare to come out.
After all, after taking over the rule here, the PLA has several disciplines before sending troops, including not taking a stitch and a thread, and trying to avoid killing and injuring civilians and the like. Although Su Tian did not have psychological pressure to destroy the farmland, he really wanted to do it to those unarmed Taiwanese people.
After passing through a large area of farmland, I finally came across a place that looked like an urban area, but before I could enter, several tanks with the blue sky and white sun emblem rumbled on the road.
"It's the M48, ready to take on the enemy! Infantry fighting vehicles should be careful not to be exposed to the range of enemy tanks. Su Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and conveyed to all the chariots.
In the face of the Type 99, the M48 is a classic car that naturally has no chance, and a few 99 Tan finally saw the enemy who belonged to the same category as themselves, and they were ready to teach the Taiwan army a lesson and tell them what the real king of land warfare is.
Taking advantage of its long range and good fire control, the 99 tank took the lead and fired at the enemy tank from a position of thousands of meters. After flying at high speed, an armor-piercing projectile accurately hit an M48 and easily pierced it, causing an explosion and scrapping it.
At first glance, seeing that the enemy was so fierce, the armored troops of the Taiwan army were also stunned, and at this time it was too late to retreat, a bunch of tanks were lined up so closely, and they had no ability to turn on the spot, so they could only bite the bullet.
Just as the Type 99s were about to enjoy a meal, a particularly fat flying machine rushed down from the sky.
"Attack aircraft? Damn, don't rob Lao Tzu of his exploits! The tankman roared.
This attack aircraft has just officially entered the Air Force Defender attack aircraft, because of its excellent battlefield adaptability and vertical take-off and landing performance, these attack aircraft also joined the battle of ground close support after the PLA occupied the beachhead. Under the wide wings, the maintainers have a total of 10 pylons, which can be mounted with weapons such as AR-2 anti-armor missiles, and the fuselage is also equipped with magazines to throw unpowered guided bombs and other weapons.
What's more, like the A-10, this one is equipped with a 6-barreled 30mm Vulcan cannon, and the armor is exceptionally leathery. Just like this defender who came to "rob monsters", he did not throw bombs or missiles, and the nose cannon made a sound like a cloth machine, and a piece of depleted uranium shell was fired. The defenders are also the few equipment equipped with depleted uranium armor-piercing shells in the whole army today, and the M48, an outdated homogeneous armor, is obviously unable to resist the attack of 30mm depleted uranium shells.
The defenders swept all the way, and there was a bullet hole on the top of the tanks in the column, and with a single charge of fire, 5 Fruit tanks were blown up, leaving only two that were slightly more fortunate and not hit.
The Type 99s could no longer wait for the defenders to circle back and take away the last prey, raise their guns and besiege them repeatedly, and blow up the last two M48s.
