I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar - #444 - Chapter 436 Great Victory
Ta, the configuration is basically the same as the Russian T-90, but it uses a more powerful engine, a new armor system, a new jamming system, a new laser warning receiver, modified night vision equipment, and even some models Active defense system.
This tank uses the same level of hardened steel shell as the T-72, but it is equipped with composite inserts and explosive reactive armor in front of the turret. Its defensive power is much higher than that of the T-72.
Likewise, the firepower of this tank is also quite powerful.
The 2A46M 125mm smoothbore main gun is equipped with high-explosive, grenade, exhaust-contact armor-piercing projectiles and anti-tank missiles. The shooting range is between 700 and 1100 meters, and the barrel stabilization system greatly improves its shooting accuracy.
It can be said that without considering the big brother in the north, this thing is completely sweeping across South Asia and Southeast Asia.
In terms of ground armor alone, not to mention Lao Burma, the entire Indochina Peninsula combined is not enough to defeat it.
The appearance of this kind of thing in Pubei is equivalent to throwing a big sword into the battlefield of a street gang fight. If there is no restraint, it will definitely kill everyone.
But fortunately, the Dongfeng Corps has already been prepared.
The moment the T-90 emerged, the seaplanes cruising in the air had already locked its traces. Immediately afterwards, the anti-tank phalanx established communication with the air force. Based on the position information fed back from the air, the eight anti-tank gun carriages quickly maneuvered. Under the guidance of the two-way mechanical disturbance-type simple fire control system, the first round of artillery fire poured out!
A huge roar sounded, and after a burst of dust and smoke, the hilltop where the two T-90s were hiding had even had a layer cut off.
Its power was so powerful that even Chen Chen was a little stunned.
But then I thought about it. After all, the Type 89 self-propelled anti-tank gun is known as the most powerful anti-tank gun in the north. If nothing else, the background of its birth has already destined it to be an extremely unbalanced “glass cannon”. “.
In 1969, the Zhenbao Island Incident broke out, and the north truly realized the gap between its own anti-tank forces and the enemy’s heavy armored units, so it began a large-scale anti-tank weapon development plan in the early 1970s.
At that time, the north had weak technical strength and backward equipment, and had no ability to face confrontation in various fields. Therefore, the idea of ”asymmetric confrontation” became increasingly mainstream.
Once fired, it enters the soul, shoots away, and has multiple functions. It can shoot into the sea.
This is the design idea of Type 89.
Under the guidance of this design idea, the Type 89 came into being and became a nominal “anti-tank gun” and actually a “shallow water heavy naval gun”!
In this case, it is not incomprehensible that its power is so powerful that it exceeds the standard.
After a round of shelling, the two T-90s seemed to have been stunned by the firepower of the Dongfeng Corps.
They even directly gave up supporting the frontline positions and began to retreat to the rear!
Just one round of shelling achieved such an effect?
“The enemy tanks are retreating and are about to leave the combat zone. Please let me know if you want to continue tracking.”
Listening to the voice in the earphones, Chen Chen said decisively:
“Ignore them. If they don’t join the war, we’ll just fight our own.”
“Change to fragmentation bombs and attack infantry units!”
“clear!”
Chen Chen gave an order, and the anti-tank artillery group instantly transformed into an anti-infantry artillery group.
In fact, the types of ammunition that the Type 89 anti-tank gun carriage can load include sub-caliber armor-piercing rounds, shaped explosives and high-explosive fragmentation rounds. In addition to anti-tank operations, it also has certain personnel killing capabilities.
And when they turned their guns, the situation in Qingshui River changed dramatically again.
With the blessing of the semi-automatic loading device, the artillery group fired at a rate of more than 8 rounds per minute, and the north bank of the Qingshui River completely turned into a sea of fire.
It’s time to cross the river.
“Firebird 3, ready for launch.”
“Understood, ready to launch.”
The helicopter on standby in the air immediately started moving. Just two minutes later, with the help of the cover of the building, an elite team of 24 people landed on the north bank.
Their arrival is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, with heavy armor, heavy firepower, high battlefield awareness, and high synergy.
Every quality is impossible for the Kachin army here to possess!
“Pay attention to the extension of artillery fire. Leave the north bank to the commando team.”
“Understood, extended gunfire.”
Five minutes later, the commandos completely controlled the beachhead on the north shore. The defense line they established was even more impregnable than the armored battle group to the south.
By this time, the work of breaking the embankment and releasing water had also been completed.
The ditches dug by Chen Chen in advance diverted a large amount of water from the Qingshui River. With the convenience of valleys and old river channels, the water was directly introduced into the Nu River, bypassing the main battlefield.
The flow of the Qingshui River running from east to west was greatly reduced in an instant, and at this time, the armored excavators were already operating at full capacity.
There are no fancy strategies, and no need to risk your life by driving a truck into a river.
With 16 excavators and 8 bulldozers completely occupying the working surface, the 150-meter-wide river was completely cut off within 20 minutes.
In another 20 minutes at most, they would be able to build an embankment through which armored troops could pass.
Bao Junfeng and others beside Chen Chen were stunned. He murmured and asked:
“How could it happen so quickly? Where does this construction company come from?”
Chen Chen smiled slightly and replied:
“Here from Xiaomengla.”
Similarly, Peng Deren was excited when he saw this scene, but his excitement was different from Bao Junfeng’s.
“If we carry out major infrastructure construction here at such a speed.”
He did not continue speaking, but his expressed wishes were clearly revealed.
“rest assured.”
Chen Chen patted his shoulder and continued:
“You withstood it this time. Even if you were seriously injured, you didn’t step out of the line of fire. I will definitely let you recuperate.”
“Yes! Thank you, Chief Chen!”
Peng Deren saluted, and when he looked at Bao Junfeng again, his eyes were filled with a bit of arrogance.
Chen Shen had no time to care about their “intrigue”. At this time, the battle of Qingshui River was far from over.
With the landing of the commandos and the construction of the embankment, the coalition’s large forces have begun to cross the river, and Kachin has finally entered a rout.
At this time, two long-awaited CL-415s are about to appear.
“Kite No. 3 and No. 4, prepare to drop incendiary bombs to cut off the enemy’s retreat route.”
“Understood, drop incendiary bombs.”
“The rocket launcher position, the artillery fire extends back, draw a line for them.”
“Understood, the artillery fire extends back.”
After two adjustments, a wall of fire suddenly rose 800 meters away from the north bank of Qingshui River.
All retreat routes were cut off, the connection between frontline troops and supporting troops was completely severed, and the Kachin Army, which had no time to retreat, completely lost its value.
And this is exactly what Chen Chen wants.
As the first 63A tank crossed the river, the Kachin Army’s morale began to collapse.
The firepower on the battlefield suddenly became sparse, and even those firepower points that had not been knocked out and were hidden in blind spots gave up resistance. Some people even dropped their guns and raised their hands to surrender!
One wave went straight to white.
There were surrender flags everywhere, and Chen Chen knew that this battle had been won.
But if you want to have the final say, there is still one most critical step to take.
Don’t chase the poor criminals?
If there is not much difference in mobility between the two sides, then it is indeed impossible to pursue them.
Now that I have planes, tanks, and armored vehicles, you tell me not to chase the poor? !
Kill them quickly!
“Command, this is Kite 2. I have discovered the location of the enemy headquarters. Please give me instructions.”
“Gunner, move forward!”
“Armored Assault Battalion, forward!”
“According to the planned tactics, attack the enemy headquarters!”
“Understood, move forward!”
Suddenly, an armored assault battalion including two 63A tanks, two VT-1A tanks, several wheeled assault vehicles, and several mine-protected anti-ambush vehicles crossed the battlefield and rushed directly to the rear of the battle line.
Fire can stop the light infantry, but it can’t stop them!
“The anti-tank phalanx takes the commanding heights!”
“Kite No. 3 and No. 4, take over the reconnaissance position and monitor the movements of enemy tanks.”
“Understood, the enemy tanks are moving closer to the headquarters.”
“Artillery reconnaissance, determine the coordinates of the artillery strike.”
“The bombardment coordinates have been sent back.”
“Rapidly fire a round of reload.”
“boom!”
The 155mm-caliber cannon opened fire suddenly, and the shells flew toward the Kachin Army headquarters 10 kilometers away with a scream, and then accurately hit the target under the cover of the jungle within 15 seconds.
“Hit!”
“Discover high-value targets!”
“I have reached the interception position. Please let me know if you want to intervene!”
“Kill, kill!”
Chen Chen gave a non-standard password, but everyone understood what he meant.
No need to ask for instructions, just annihilate them directly.
In an instant, the armored assault battalion was on full fire.
A large number of senior Kachin officers who fled from the Kachin headquarters were drowned in artillery fire before they had time to react. Immediately afterwards, seaplanes from the sky also opened fire, taking advantage of every opportunity to kill a small group who wanted to escape from the Kachin headquarters. Soldiers fleeing through gaps in the forest.
“Enemy air defense position discovered!”
As soon as the voice on the radio finished, the anti-aircraft gun position near the headquarters opened fire instantly.
Immediately afterwards, several smoke trails rose into the sky.
Portable anti-aircraft missile.
The old Americans really gave the Kachin Army this thing.——
But it’s no use.
Infrared tracking portable anti-aircraft missiles are quite effective at hitting helicopters and jet fighters, but the engine power of civilian seaplanes is too low, which makes the missile lose its target.
“Evaded, artillery reconnaissance to determine the location.”
“Coordinates have been sent back.”
“Adjust the shooting elements and fire one round quickly!”
The artillery phalanx once again achieved “quick” response.
Of course, this kind of speed refers to “within three minutes”. It is not the abnormal speed of the Yankees with a fire reaction time of 30 seconds and a fire assault of two minutes. But even 3 minutes is enough to destroy the last place in Kachin. The anti-aircraft positions were buried.
The power of the God of War was once again vividly demonstrated, and after this round of shelling, Kachin was like a poisonous snake nailed to death seven inches, completely losing its ability to move.
“The 1st Infantry Regiment maneuvered forward and cooperated with the armored assault battalion to occupy the enemy’s headquarters.”
“The 2nd Regiment consolidated the beachhead position, and the 3rd and 4th Regiments swept the battlefield and eliminated the remaining enemies.”
“The 5th Regiment continues to cover the heavy weapons crossing the river.”
“clear!”
Large-scale mobilization of infantry is often the last step in a battle, and with the entry of large quantities of light infantry, the Kachin Army’s last hope of retreat was cut off.
What is a motorized force?
For some armies, that is, of course, a handful of military trucks, a handful of standardized wheeled vehicles, and a handful of light armored vehicles.
But for Pubei, even formal motorization is a bit too luxurious.
Therefore, the motorized infantry team established by the Dongfeng Corps is actually a bit strange.
There are not only trucks, jeeps, and random armored vehicles used for mobility, but there are even motorcycles and women’s scooters.
It has to be said that people who are poor can do anything.
Unable to gather enough vehicles in a short period of time, Chen Chen had no choice but to use local materials.
But don’t tell me, after unified organization and short training, this method of maneuver really meets Pubei’s combat needs.
Speed is everything. As long as you are fast, you can ride a donkey to the battlefield!
The distance of 10 kilometers passed by in a flash. When the light infantry arrived near the enemy headquarters, only 25 minutes had passed.
At this time, the only remaining Kachin garrison near the headquarters had become a turtle in a urn, a beast in a cage.
The two T-90 tanks resisted desperately, taking advantage of the terrain to repeatedly deal with the Dongfeng Corps.
But without aerial reconnaissance, they really can’t achieve any results.
Perhaps the theory of the uselessness of tanks was developed under this kind of war situation?
In short, they will be beaten as long as they show up. No matter how they maneuver, the Dongfeng Corps can grasp their position in advance and be fully prepared to respond in time.
The poor two T-90s only fired less than 10 rounds in the end, and only a few infantry were hit.
Their record ended with “two women’s scooters”. After the track of the first T90 was shattered by the 63A at an exquisite angle, the tank that could no longer evade was locked by the Type 89, and the intensive artillery fire instantly overwhelmed it.
Then, another T-90 dropped directly.
The last reliance was lost, and surrender was the only option.
The armored assault battalion was divided into two. One group used infantry and tank coordination tactics to continue to move forward to search and intercept the fleeing enemies, while the other group defended near the headquarters to prevent the enemy from killing a carbine.
But from beginning to end, there was no enemy surprise attack.
This is the end of the crushing round.
The Kachin Army’s vanguard troops on the north bank of the Qingshui River have almost been defeated!
Of the 4,000 troops, more than 3,000 surrendered and suffered more than 500 casualties, while most of the remaining ones fled into the jungle.
It’s not that Chen Chen doesn’t want to catch him, it’s just that he can’t catch him anymore.
In contrast, the casualties of the coalition forces were only over a hundred.
Two hours later, the battle of Qingshui River was settled. Chen Chen rushed to the Kachin headquarters, ready to test the results of this battle.
One corpse after another was lined up neatly, and the prisoners sat in a row on the ground.
Chen Chen checked one by one and recognized Kaxiao at a glance, who didn’t even have time to put on makeup.
His name and appearance had been known for a long time. Chen Chen had not expected to catch him alive, but now that he had been caught, it was definitely an unexpected surprise.
Seeing the depressed expression on Kaxiao’s face, Chen Chen said:
“If you confess, you will be treated with leniency, if you resist, you will be treated with leniency.”
“You still have a chance to surrender. I’ll give you 10 seconds to think about it.”
The FN57 in Chen Chen’s hand had already pressed against Kaxiao’s head. Kaxiao looked up in shock and asked:
“I have surrendered. I am a senior military officer. Are you not afraid of going to court martial!?”
“I’m a mercenary, why should I go to court martial?”
Chen Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and continued:
“Besides, if you want to go to court, you must have a plaintiff.”
“Enbanla, Ganshuang, Ganmao, they all have to die.”
“Who’s going to sue me?”
