After Riptide A landed ashore, the dock door opened, and main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles slowly drove out. Then came the coordinated infantry, all holding weapons and rushing out following the armored vehicles.
At this time, gunshots rang out, and a few sparse tongues of fire shot out from the grass and woods, hitting the armor of the chariot, causing some tinkling sounds.
"Fuck, the Air Force's work is not easy, and there are still people who can't breathe." Shangguan Xi leaned on an infantry fighting vehicle, stuck his head out and fired back at the place where the flames came from.
Su Tian's expression did not change. "It's impossible to be so clean. Although the terrain here is relatively open, small groups of infantry are hidden in the grass or woods, making it difficult for the air force to clear them. But there is no heavy firepower anymore." , the shore artillery and hard strongholds were basically removed.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, a rocket was fired and hit a Type 99 tank in front. If the Type 99 had not been rough and thick, a PPG could not cause any damage to it. This is probably the case this time. The first pLAR scoop damaged unit in the war.
Li Ying said angrily: "You don't have heavy firepower? What the hell?"
Niu Jian is very tolerant. The rocket launchers are too good to hide, but the number cannot be too many. We have destroyed the outposts and fortifications. The rocket launchers we carry with us should not be able to hit them a few times.
The rocket launcher that exposed its position immediately became the target of the armored forces. The 3mm cannon of a Type 09 tank was aimed at that position, and it fired more than a dozen rounds without caring about that position. , after the shells were fired, there were no standing trees in that area.
The Dragon Breath teams each occupied rocks and other shelters on the beach, and launched counterattacks against the enemies on the opposite side. This firepower disparity is really too great. The infantry fighting in conjunction with the armored forces alone is much more numerous than the scattered anti-landing troops on the beach. The artillery of tanks and tanks is no joke. Several cannons rang out. After that, basically any enemy who resisted could not escape.
"The beachhead has been occupied" The exchange of fire only lasted about ten minutes. Several unlucky soldiers were wounded by bullets, and about sixty enemies were annihilated. The landing force finally spread out on the beachhead.
"The 2nd Battalion moved north to occupy Taipei Port, and the - Battalion went out to capture Taoyuan Airport." The landing location was actually very good. The hydrological conditions here are actually very poor. Small boats of hundreds of tons may not be able to enter, even though they are only a few kilometers away. Outside is the port area, but it is indeed relatively deserted.
The pLA landing force consisted of all A hovercrafts, plus vertical landing soldiers, so they didn't pick a place and landed directly on the beach here. Once ashore, it became quite easy to expand the results, as the port and airport were nearby. , as long as you win the subsequent battle, it will become quite easy.
Su Tian replenished some ammunition and said: "We are not going to the airport or the pier. We are going south, targeting the Nuclear Research Institute."
The officer on the front line nodded and said: "Then there is still some danger in the sudden advance. I will send a company of armored soldiers to cover you."
Su Tian saluted and said, "Yes, chief."
Although it was assisted by a company of armored soldiers, this company actually did not have much strength. There were a total of 6 tanks and 1 armored vehicle, plus Su Tian's own tank and two armored vehicles, making up seven. With a lineup of tanks and five armored vehicles, the number of infantrymen who can fight on foot has also reached 20
After boarding the tank, the 99 tank opened the way. The team abandoned the main force and drove south without hesitation. The battle has begun. Although the early strikes caused relatively large losses to the Taiwanese army, and the Taiwanese army was not really prepared for a counterattack, there were not many troops involved in anti-landing operations and defensive operations, and a considerable number of Taiwanese troops were in chaos. , actually escaped from the war zone under the leadership of some cowardly Shangguan, and fled to Taipei or other places.
Of course, not all Taiwanese soldiers are timid. There are still some Taiwanese soldiers who are dedicated to their duties and cause trouble to Su Tian and others along the way. The Guojun Army was really in a mess when it was still in mainland China. However, after moving to Taiwan, Jiang Guang learned from the pain and began to reflect on the idea of ??building an army. One of the major measures was to establish the Political War Department, which was actually a copy of the political commissar of the Red Army. Anti-communist propaganda was carried out throughout the army to brainwash soldiers. Therefore, the era when the national army was strongest was not in the 21st century, nor before liberation, but in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, the Guo Army had achieved some reasonable results in its battle with the pLAf.
After entering the 1980s, Taiwan's economy took off, and various hedonism and other ideological trends also penetrated into the army. In addition, there was no real combat with the other side for a long time, so the combat effectiveness of the Taiwanese army declined, but after all, compared with In later generations, the Taiwanese army was completely transformed into a strawberry, but now they still have some combat effectiveness. Later, Taiwan's Strawberry Soldiers did not practice when the temperature rose above 3 degrees. Soldiers were allowed to bring smartphones into the barracks. Soldiers with families could go home and spend the night. In fact, such an army would not have to fight.
Just after leaving the landing site, Su Tian's team entered a farmland. Taiwan is a tropical and subtropical country.Due to the climate, crops are growing in the fields at this time. It's just that Su Tian had no intention of protecting the crops grown by local farmers. The tank tracks and chariot wheels rolled directly over the rice seedlings.
At this moment, the commander of the tank leading the way shouted through the communication station: "Xinzi-I Xinzi-I This is Jiachen-2. The thermal imaging shows that there are signs of life about 30 meters away at 2 o'clock. They may be deserters or Ambushing infantry, please give instructions."
During missions, the Army is not used to naming fighter planes like the Air Force. The previous numbers were abandoned because each unit has more and more tanks, and pure numbers are hard to remember. not enough. However, using Ta and ca11e as used by the US military and NATO is not practical, so he suggested distinguishing heaven from earthly branches.
After receiving the report, Su Tian said in a deep voice: "Keep out the enemy." Naturally, he would not let go of any target that threatened the team. Although it might be a waste of time to destroy these enemy soldiers, safety was still the first priority.
The Type 99 main battle tank turned its turret, aimed at the enemies in the thermal imaging response, and opened fire. The extremely precise fire control caused the shells to hit the center of the group of people, killing four or five people on the spot. Several others were even more panicked when they discovered that they could still be found hidden in the rice.
¡°Don¡¯t fight, don¡¯t fight, we surrender,¡± they shouted in Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent. Unfortunately, this group of people didn¡¯t bring their own white flags with them, so they couldn¡¯t hear clearly from the other side at such a long distance.
The concentrated fire of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks caused less than twenty people to be killed and maimed in a short time. Su Tian had no intention of collecting their bodies. He had more urgent tasks now, so he informed the rear that he had experienced the battle. , there may still be people alive, so I¡¯ll go first.
The farmland is surrounded by villages. It is not as densely populated as the rural areas in the mainland. There may be a dozen or so houses in the middle of the large farmland. The outbreak of war caused local farmers to panic. Some people quickly took their children to escape from the war zone, while others were so frightened that they hid at home and did not dare to come out.
After all, after taking over this place, we still have to take over the rule. The PLA has a few disciplines before sending troops, including not taking any needles and threads, and trying to avoid killing and wounding civilians. Although Su Tian didn't feel any psychological pressure from destroying farmland, he couldn't do anything to those defenseless Taiwanese people.
After passing through a large area of ??farmland, we finally saw a place that looked a bit like an urban area, but before we could enter, several tanks with the blue sky and white sun emblem on them rumbled up the road.
"The MB is preparing to engage the enemy infantry fighting vehicles. Be careful not to expose them to the range of enemy tanks." Su Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and conveyed to all the tanks.
Facing the Type 99, classic cars like MB naturally have no chance. However, several Type 99 tanks finally saw the same enemy as themselves, and they were ready to teach the Taiwanese 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 tanks from a distance of more than a thousand meters. After an armor-piercing bullet flew at high speed, it accurately hit an MB and easily penetrated it, causing an explosion and scrapping it.
Seeing that the enemy was so fierce, the Taiwanese armored soldiers were stunned. At this time, it was too late to retreat. A bunch of tanks were lined up so closely, and they did not have the ability to turn on the spot, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Just as the 99ers were preparing to enjoy a meal, a particularly fat aircraft rushed down from the sky.
"Attack aircraft? Damn it, don't take away my battle glory," the tank soldier roared angrily.
This attack aircraft is officially a maintainer attack aircraft that has just entered the Air Force. Due to its excellent battlefield adaptability and vertical take-off and landing performance, these attack aircraft also joined the battle for close ground support after the PLA occupied the beachhead. Under the wide wings, the Maintainer has a total of 10 pylons, which can carry weapons such as AR2 anti-armor missiles. The fuselage is also equipped with a magazine that can eject unpowered guided bombs and other weapons.
What¡¯s more important is that, like the A10, this product is equipped with a 6-barreled 3mm Vulcan cannon, and the armor is extremely thick. Just like this defender who came to "rob monsters", he did not throw bombs or missiles. The aircraft cannon on the nose made a sound like a tearing machine, and a piece of depleted uranium bomb was fired. The Defender is also one of the few equipment in the military today that is equipped with depleted uranium armor-piercing bullets, and the old-fashioned homogeneous armor like MB is obviously unable to withstand the attack of 3mm depleted uranium bullets.
The defenders swept all the way, and there were bullet holes on the tanks in the column. With a single fire charge, 6 Guojun tanks were blown up, and only two tanks were lucky enough not to be hit.
It is no longer possible for the Type 99s to wait for the defenders to circle back and snatch away the last prey. They raise their guns and attack continuously, blowing up the last two MBs.
