Chapter 136 136 Fighting cannons is like burning money
The only MiG-23 fleet, which could act as an umbrella for Fiskov, was completely wiped out, and except for all the limited battlefield anti-aircraft weapons of his 32nd Army, Fiskov had few more ways to deal with the air attacks of Chinese fighters. What is even more tragic is that the J-10 one-time air raid mission mount is to carry 5 tons of ammunition to the ground, 4 250-kilogram Thunder-2 under the belly, 2 250-kilogram Thunder-3 under the wing root pylon, 4 500-kilogram Thunder-6 under the wings, two PL-12 and two PL-8 self-defense composite pylons, navigation and photoelectric guidance pods on the wingtips.
Don't look like the J-10 Super Raptor is not big, but the ability to hang bombs is leveraged. In addition, these bombs can be dropped from a distance of 40 kilometers at the nearest range, and Feskov hardly has an anti-aircraft weapon that can hit this far.
The 32nd Army, which had not yet eased its strength under the rocket artillery attack, was once again subjected to a round of air raids on a large scale. The J-10 fleet, which had suffered a small loss before, would definitely not be close to the center of the 32nd Army, and the goblins were throwing guided bombs on the periphery, and the targets they chose were all tanks, trucks transporting troops, and even field hospitals that had been temporarily set up to accommodate wounded soldiers.
"This battle can't be fought!" Fiskov gritted his teeth and muttered, from the beginning to the present, except for Solinsky who picked up a cheap one at the beginning and bullied China's reclamation reserves, and turned his head to the Soviet Union, any action was led by the nose by the opponent. That feeling is how to fight and how comfortable, and the Soviets are how to walk and how to carry it.
"Comrade Commander, be careful!" The guards next to him panicked and crushed Fiskov in a makeshift bunker, those super raptors in the sky were carrying a hundred tons of bombs, although there were many Soviet targets on the ground, but it was not too much of a problem to cover them. If this military commander is also killed by the Chinese, then these guards will not say anything on their faces, and they will also be punished.
Of course, the commanders were all killed, and the chances of the guards who were so close were not alive was slim.
One by one, guided bombs were dropped, and these bombs, which had no power of their own and basically relied on the flight of fighters to provide range, were naturally much higher than the accuracy of the previous rocket artillery. The J-10 that enters the ground attack mode can freely select high-value targets to destroy, guide its own bombs to destroy, and anything that looks like a temporary building cannot escape.
Fiskov was lucky, his temporary command had been overturned in the previous round of rocket artillery attacks, so he was hiding in a newly dug bunker, and several middle-level officers of the 32nd Army suffered the loss of the J-10 to attack construction targets, and were killed and wounded.
The most unfortunate thing is naturally those armored units with obvious targets, displayed on the J-10's color multi-purpose display are infrared signals, and the infrared-guided Thunder-2 picks such things to start, and the tanks and armored vehicles that have not yet been lying on their stomachs have naturally suffered a big disaster at this time, and even the survivors of the rocket attacks nearby have been blown into the sky.
Qi Yiming from the Dalinor base nodded with satisfaction: "The effect of this air attack is still good. ”
He glanced at the positions of the units on the big screen, and waved his hand: "The armored troops of the 309th Division and the army aviation troops are coming forward!" ”
Although he does not have too deep military command qualities, he can still see such a basic chess path clearly. The previous rocket artillery coverage and air raids focused on the main three mechanized divisions under the command of Fiskov, while the 78th Tank Division, which rushed ahead, was only a small-scale nuisance.
The more it was beaten back, the more the 78th Tank Division did not dare to move back close to the main force of its own troops, but was anxious to break forward and establish an advance base closer to Chinese territory, or directly on Chinese territory. However, without the infantry support of the rear troops, they were unable to play effective coordinated tactics, and they lacked battlefield air defense capabilities, and the relatively single arms caused their own troubles.
Most of the 32nd Army's tens of thousands of motorized infantry divisions are already frightened birds, Qi Yiming has made up his mind to slowly pick them up, but the 78th Tank Division is the direct main force of the 32nd Army's attack, as long as this big stone is removed, it is equivalent to breaking half of the teeth of the 32nd Army, and the teeth of the other half of the 32nd Army have actually been trained by Qi Yiming to begin tooth decay.
The commander of the tank division, Colonel Yamakov, was definitely not unaware of the predicament he was in, but he could not let him retreat and be bombed, and it was possible to face an ambush from all sides by the Chinese when he advanced, but he still had to fight, and besides, it was better to move forward than to retreat. One of his colleagues, the division commander, had been killed in a rocket attack, and it was time to die for the Soviets. What this conflict is for, Yamakov no longer cares, and he doesn't care much about how it ends, but he knows that the Soviets will not allow defeat!
Looking at his game screen, the point of light representing the 78th Tank Division was getting closer and closer to a shadowed arc range, the corners of Qi Yiming's mouth flashed a smug smile, he gently patted his thigh, relieved the fatigue of sitting here for several hours, and said: "What kind of war with technical content, I am the least able to fight, but I am the best at crushing people with firepower." ”
The shadow arc is actually the range coverage circle of the 309mm self-propelled gun of the PLZ-05 type of the 155th Division Artillery Brigade. Compared with the 8th Division, which is only equipped with a total of 18 PLZ-05, the 309th Division, a single artillery brigade of a tyrant-level unit, has 6 self-propelled artillery battalions alone, plus the artillery of the brigade commander, a total of 120 guns.
There was once a great man surnamed Jin who said when he inspected a certain unit that modern warfare is artillery warfare, and the 309th Division implemented this great man's ideas very well.
The 309th Division is a monster-level unit, which may not be able to be summoned by the US imperialists, and it is not enough to fight a battle casually, and the ammunition it plays is definitely not enough for people to take their home money away. Let's just say that the nearly 1,000 rockets before, if it were a normal purchase, the price would scare people to death. The price of 406mm rockets is almost comparable to that of ordinary missiles, and it is not surprising that the price is tens of thousands of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, for example, it is said that China bought a Russian 300mm rocket launcher in the 90s, and a rocket cost 100,000 US dollars. At 100,000 US dollars, the wave of rocket artillery just now was very cool, but it lost nearly 100 million US dollars, what is the fastest way to waste money, it is definitely not to burn it and light a cigarette, just shoot a few hundred rockets without any trouble.
Qi Yiming didn't have the slightest consciousness of saving money, and explained: "Just hit half a base number to see the effect." ”
The base ammunition of a 155mm self-propelled gun is 60 rounds, half of the base is 30, multiplied by 120 guns, that is to say, throw 3,600 shells first to see the curative effect.
Yamakov suddenly did not know that he had entered the entrance to hell, and the artillery brigade school artillery was completed, and the artillery was still retreating in unison, and the shells burst out in the skyrocketing fire. These unguided shells naturally can't be expected too high, but Qi Yiming also requires the coverage of all sides of the kill and firepower, and the rumbling explosions and shock waves around the 78th Tank Division are like enchanted roses, competing to bloom.
Even if it is not a specialized anti-armor weapon, this powerful heavy artillery does not need to be directly bombarded on the tank, and the armor is instantly transformed by the agitated shock wave, not to mention that the strong shock will shatter the internal organs of the unsuspecting tank crew to death. If you are directly hit by a shell, you must know that these heavy cannons can easily penetrate at their maximum range1. Sandstone over 8 meters, if you are confident, the composite armor of the tank can compare with the penetration resistance of the sandstone that is one person high.
Qi Yiming crossed Erlang's legs, holding a cup of green tea, looked at this scene happily, and said to himself: "It turns out that bombarding people with cannons is such an interesting thing." ”
The 78th Tank Division was directly stunned by this wave of unforeseen and ferocious and terrifying shelling, and the division commander Yamakov constantly ordered his soldiers to follow the normal drill code through the on-board radio to avoid the shelling, but the enemy's artillery bombardment did not slow down at all, round after round of artillery, continuously washing their troops, more and more tanks were seriously injured and scrapped, and Yamakov was able to deeply understand the despair of the previous army commander Fiskov.
The best way for the tanks to defend against artillery is to maneuver, and they "fight bravely" to increase their horsepower, hoping to escape the coverage area of the firepower, but this coverage area is really a bit large, and many tanks are knocked out by heavy artillery on the way to escape.
"You can maneuver, and so will I!" Qi Yiming smiled, circled one of his troops, and then ordered forward. Typical infantry artillery coordinated tactics, artillery bombardment, tank charge, infantry sweep tail. Boom, rush, boom, punch.
The sortie was the armored brigade of the 309th Division, as well as the army aviation regiment under the special brigade. Below the armored brigade of the 309th Division alone are three armored regiments, with a total of 324 tanks, which is more than the 78th Tank Division. Qi Yiming naturally has better means to slowly grasp the 78th Tank Division, which is already in trouble, but he wants to see what the situation of the Type 99 tank and the Soviet tank fighting each other is like, and see if there are any parts of the Type 99 that need to be improved.
It's just that he wanted to fight with other tanks, and Yamakov received an order from Feskov behind: "Comrade Yamakov, I order you to immediately lead the 78th Tank Division back and join my main forces!" ”
Fiskov's order was very clear, he knew that if Yamakov destroyed the 78th Tank Division, it would be very difficult for him to counterattack and protect himself later, and as long as he did not lose his main force, he could still get assistance from behind, the support of the air force, and the battle with the Chinese could continue. But if Yamakov loses the 78th Tank Division, then his 32nd Army will have only one way to retreat.
