Chapter 980 Long-Range Heavy Artillery Strike
The Red Police Corps outside Raqqa is resting, but for the Kurdish armed soldiers in the city, it is suffering. Bayi? Chinese Network? ???? ????
The distance between the two sides is only one or two kilometers. A large row of tanks placed opposite the city has brought great psychological pressure to the Kurdish armed forces in the city.
The Kurdish armed forces in Syria have never encountered such a powerful armed force at one time, and they have not even seen any soldiers.
There are hundreds of all tanks and armored vehicles in total, and it seems that there is no end to be seen at a glance.
In the past, even if we were dealing with soldiers of the Syrian government army, we could occasionally see a few government army tanks, all of which were T-72 tanks, and there were more advanced T-9o tanks behind them.
No matter what kind of tank it is, it is a terrifying existence for the Kurdish armed forces.
In fact, the Kurdish armed forces also have some tanks and armored vehicles, including those in Raqqan, all of which were obtained from IsIs armed forces and Syrian government forces.
But the number is very small, and the armed system is not perfect. They have always been the backbone of the army, and they are reluctant to use them.
After all, when there are few things, we cherish them all the more.
The Red Police Corps is completely different. Weapons and equipment are originally used for fighting, so there is nothing to hide.
Furthermore, things like tanks are not important tactical weapons, and there is no need to hide them at all.
So Cai Ruichen even sent out the Apocalypse tanks. Of course, some top-secret weapons were not used.
After all, there is no need to use those trump cards to deal with the armed forces in Syria. Many advanced weapons units are reserved for the Israeli or NATO troops.
Killing a chicken with a sledgehammer and sending out apocalypse tanks is enough to look down on the Kurdish party in Syria.
What's more, the current Syrian Kurdish political party has long since fallen and scattered, and the Kurdish armed forces in each area are also fighting on their own. Even if you can live a day, there is no hope.
Cai Ruichen's move is one thing to open up the railway line, and it is also to gain prestige in Syria. Don't let kittens and puppies covet the wealth of Future Technology Group.
After all, sometimes
Talking and intimidating are not effective, simply knocking down with a stick is the best deterrent method.
Especially for those armed forces, they usually have no scruples. If you have a little interest, you will be jealous. Cai Ruichen is not in the mood to deal with such a small character all the time. He simply catches a typical one, and then kills him thoroughly, so as to give other people enough deterrent means.
The Kurdish armed forces just happened to bump into it on their own. Not only can they be aboveboard and not afraid of being blocked by the United States, but they can also achieve multiple goals, which is perfect.
actually. Originally, Cai Ruichen planned to let the Kurds themselves have civil strife, but it was unexpected that the flames of war burned on their own heads, so there was no need to be polite.
Raqqa is the first battle where the Red Police Corps opened the door to Syria. Cai Ruichen requested that this battle must be resolved perfectly.
The city of Raqqa must be taken efficiently, and the prestige and momentum of the Red Police Corps must be displayed in this battle. The most important thing is that the strength must be fully displayed.
At the same time, Cai Ruichen even began to arrange for the railway department to prepare to start building the railway in Syria, and also dispatched construction and maintenance teams. Once Laka is taken down, the rebuilding of the city will begin.
This is not only Ahmed's request, but also Cai Ruichen's request to himself, because in his view, Syria will be his own in the future. Some work that can be started can be started earlier, and it is better to start earlier.
At the same time, it can also show a little sincerity to Ahmed, and rebuilding Raqqa is nothing to Cai Ruichen. But for Syrians, the meaning is quite different.
This means a new beginning, and it also means that hope has really come. In this way, it will not only help Ahmed, but also better establish the image of the future technology group, and implement Cai Ruichen's promise in advance. Let the Syrian people rest assured.
For this reason, Ren Rui also felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders, because the reconstruction team concentrated in Mosul may be released at any time. After occupying Raqqa, the team will be stationed in Raqqa as soon as possible to carry out reconstruction work.
It may not even wait for him to successfully occupy Raqqa and rebuild the team before he will arrive in Raqqa.
Of course, this is what Ren Rui doesn't want to see. He can't order when the reconstruction team will come out. The only thing he can do is to take the city as soon as possible.
In fact, Ren Rui didn't pay attention to the Kurdish armed forces inside. There were only more than a thousand people.
The only tricky thing is that these armed men are all scattered in many places in the city, and it will take a long time to clear them all.
Forty-five minutes later, Ren Rui left the command vehicle again. Behind the frontline troops, the automatic artillery companies of the two armored battalions were all gathered.
"The rest is over, order the self-propelled artillery company to start shelling the designated target immediately."
"Order the air assault battalion to assault the city as soon as it arrives in Raqqa. Ten minutes later, the ground troops will formally attack Raqqa according to the plan."
...
Following Ren Rui's order, all the troops started to move except for a guard platoon left beside him.
In a depression 35 kilometers east of Raqqa, two companies of self-propelled artillery were lined up here, with their barrels raised high, aiming at Raqqa more than 30 kilometers away. card city.
The moment the order was received, the two companies with a total of 24 tank killers all fired at the targets in Raqqa at the same time.
Before the main force arrived in Raqqa, the two special operations units had already sneaked into Raqqa to guide the target for the next attack.
All the targets of the shelling were intelligence from the commandos and spies, and the main targets were all important strongholds of the Kurdish armed forces far away from residential areas.
As the headquarters of the Kurdish armed forces, the Raqqa City Government is naturally the first to kill. There are also several small weapon depots, camps and warehouses, which are also targets of attack.
The minimum caliber is 155mm tank killer, and the furthest strike distance can reach 55 kilometers. If you use rocket-extended range bombs, you can double the range. Of course, if you use extended-range bombs, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. up.
And within the effective normal shooting range, the accuracy of the artillery has never disappointed the Red Police Corps.
After the shelling began, many places in Raqqa were immediately engulfed in flames. (To be continued.) xh:.218.2o4.13
