Chapter 230 S300V Missile Battalion
Chapter 230 S-300V Missile Battalion
An off-road vehicle, running on the white land.
From the appearance point of view, this off-road vehicle has some similarities with the modified 2020 Beijing Jeep. The two round headlights in the front extend to the back, which is a wide fender, the engine cover is too round, and there are small doors at the back. The total length of the car is only about four meters. For the old Russians, it must be very uncomfortable to sit in it, so it is most appropriate to remove the door glass or even the roof.
This is the most classic 0.5-ton military off-road vehicle produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant of the old Russians. Its basic models include the UAZ-469 basic model and the military UAZ-469B. In 1985, the old Russians adopted new production standards and modified the model number: UAZ-469B became UAZ-31512, and UAZ-469 became UAZ-3151.
At the same time, this UAZ-469 series off-road vehicle has many modified models, including pickups including UAZ-452, long wheelbase (widened), soft shed, hard shed, police and special modifications of various arms.
At this time, Qin Tao and Vitalia were sitting in the back seat of the car, and they were so shaken that they almost vomited the overnight meal.
"Vitalia, actually you don't have to come with me. It's too hard on this journey." Qin Tao said to Vitalia.
Vitalia smiled and shook her head: "No, my father has promised me to allow me to go to the East. I am also looking forward to such a special trip."
Vitalia's bodyguard was driving in front, but this bodyguard did his job very steadily along the way and did not interfere with Qin Tao and Vitalia at all.
Burlakov made a suggestion to Qin Tao, and Qin Tao agreed with it, so he arranged 20 Doyle system vehicles to return to China, and he came all the way here.
That's right, it was all the way from Germany to the grassland.
This road is not easy to walk, the three of them first took a plane to the nearby airport, and then drove the off-road vehicle.
In this place, an off-road vehicle is necessary, because in the snow, you can't see the road at all.
This is a landlocked country, and there are only two neighboring countries around it.
To the north is the Russians, and to the south is China.
In the past few years, this place has been actively applying to become a new republic of the Russians, but it has not been accepted. Now, it is easy. Just sit on a stool and watch the scene of Moscow, everything has nothing to do with them.
Of course, some things are still related, such as the withdrawal of troops.
In 1963, the Russian army entered here, and began to withdraw in 1987. By 1989, it was planned to withdraw 50,000 troops.
However, like in Eastern Europe, the domestic situation of the Russians is unstable, and everything is in a mess, so the withdrawal of troops took a long time, and it was not until the end of 1993 that all the troops were withdrawn.
Compared with the troops in other places, there is another big problem with the withdrawal of troops here, that is, inconvenient transportation!
For the Russians, the best way to transfer troops on land is by rail. However, there are only two railways here, a main line running from north to south and a branch line extending from the Siberian Railway. Both railways were built by the Soviet Union. The two sections of the railway are not connected and do not form a national railway network.
Before World War II, the Russians' military supplies had to be transported to Sherlov via the Siberian Railway, then transferred to narrow-gauge railways and transported to the border, and then transported to the grassland by car.
Because the steam locomotives on narrow-gauge railways have low power and vehicle loads, coupled with two changes of equipment, the problems of insufficient transportation and supply in the rear of the Soviet Union were exposed.
Therefore, the Russians were determined to pay for the modification of the railway here, extending their Siberian Railway branch line to here, and also changing the narrow-gauge railway to a wide-gauge railway.
The new broad-gauge railway branches off from Borgia Station to Bayintumen, with a total length of 353 kilometers. The new railway was completed and opened to traffic in 1939, and played a very important role in the battle in 1945 when the Soviet Union sent troops to defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army.
During the Cold War, passenger trains from Moscow to Bayintumen were once very busy, but the capacity of a single railway line was too small to meet the transportation needs of the troops stationed here. Therefore, when the 39th Army of the old Russians was stationed here, it was impossible to guarantee full equipment and full personnel, because the railway system here could not meet the logistics of a standard combined arms army. Later, it was slowly supplemented, and now, it has to go back.
Most of the military garrisons are not connected to the railway, and those garrisons need to drive back directly.
Now, it is cold and frozen, and there is a vast expanse of white all around, so you can't see the road clearly, and you don't need the road, just drive in the snow.
"This time, we are going to Bognar, where the 1178th Air Defense Missile Battalion of the 12th Motorized Infantry Division is transferred from the Western Group and operates the S-300 missile system. If it weren't for Burlakov's introduction, we wouldn't know it at all." Qin Tao said with emotion.
How could he know the huge military organization and weapon equipment of the Russians? These are highly confidential and only insiders know.
After all, most people would not think that the Russians would deploy the most advanced air defense missiles on the grassland. There is no need at all! There are no advanced fighters and missiles here, and it is absolutely impossible to take the initiative to provoke the Russians.
However, the Russians did it.
Qin Tao doesn't have to worry about any strategic arrangements. He just knows that he hopes to swindle the equipment of an S-300 missile battalion from here. After all, people here are short of money, and he is rich, so he can do it. Burlakov greeted him directly, because the commander of this missile battalion was originally his old subordinate.
Now, the car was heading towards its destination, but when it was driving through a flat snowfield, suddenly, there was a bang, and one of the wheels on one side fell into a pit. Under the white snow, there was actually a trap!
Although it wasn't moving fast enough, the wheel on the other side still came up and the car almost overturned.
When it stopped, the bodyguard looked at the trap the car had fallen into, his expression extremely ugly.
"This is a trap dug by hunters, and we trapped it." The bodyguard said, "However, this means there must be a village nearby. I will find someone to help push the cart."
If there is a tree or something, he can use the winch carried by the off-road vehicle to save himself, but the current situation has exceeded the limit of this vehicle. After all, even if it has four-wheel drive, it is just a vehicle, not a tank.
Qin Tao and Vitalia both have high status and cannot get down to push the cart. Moreover, they are not strong enough.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, let's find someone to help."
It's freezing outside, and it would be very dangerous if we delay for a long time. After all, this is a place where birds don't poop.
At this moment, two horses were coming through the snow in the distance.
Horses cannot gallop on the snow, but the horses on the grassland have adapted to the snowy weather. The horses' nostrils are filled with white smoke, and the body of the rider on the horse is also shaking up and down as the horse runs. .
When the two horses ran over, the bodyguard in front suddenly changed his expression: "They have guns!"
As he said that, the bodyguard planned to pull out his gun from his clothes.
If they were soldiers, forget it. The two people on horseback were obviously dressed as herdsmen, but the guns carried behind them looked quite familiar.
"Don't worry, let's check the situation first." Qin Tao said and glanced at Vitalia: "Don't show your head."
Vitalia also felt a little nervous. When the car door opened, a cold wind blew, biting the bones.
The two herdsmen approached on horseback, obviously to see the trap situation here. When they discovered the car, the two herdsmen had very special expressions. They rode horses and walked around the car.
Obviously, they saw the license plate and the people in the car were not someone they could afford to offend. However, it was freezing cold and they didn't want to go back empty-handed.
As they walked around, they could clearly see the AK rifle on their backs, which was the standard weapon of the army!
The bodyguard was a little annoyed. If these people just carried shotguns, how could they get military weapons?
Qin Tao knew clearly in his heart that this period of time was the most confusing for Lao Maozi. There would be movies of this era in later generations, such as Lord of War, which would tell these things.
There are countless supplies in the arsenal that have been resold, and everything is in a mess. The same is true on the grasslands. Herders can easily get an AK rifle.
But, don't be afraid.
Qin Tao opened the trunk of the car and took out a pack of instant noodles: "Hey, brother, do you want it?"
When they saw the instant noodles, the eyes of the two herdsmen changed, and their mouths even started to drool.
"Help us pull the car out. The instant noodles belong to you!" Qin Tao said, and simply moved out the whole box of instant noodles.
There is a language barrier between the two parties. Qin Tao speaks Russian, and the two herdsmen probably only speak their language. However, this does not affect communication, because Qin Tao can gesture with his hands!
So the two herdsmen dismounted, tied a rope behind the horse, and dragged it onto the off-road vehicle.
The bodyguard didn't speak the whole time. He knew that Qin Tao was very powerful and it was best to leave this kind of matter to him. But now, seeing the tacit understanding between the two parties, he got into the car and stepped on the accelerator hard.
In this way, with the drag of two horses and the power of the car, he successfully got out of the trap.
The bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief, and the two herdsmen returned happily with a box of instant noodles.
As the car continued on the road, Vitalia said curiously: "Qin, you only used a box of instant noodles to complete the transaction with them?"
"Yes, even if they come out to rob, they don't have much appetite. A box of instant noodles is enough to feed them." Qin Tao said.
This is of course also the experience of later generations. Qin Tao once visited here for inspection. At that time, a large area of coal resources had been discovered here. However, due to inconvenient transportation, it could only be transported to China. A large number of Chinese trucks came here for transportation. As a result, we often encounter herdsmen carrying AK rifles to rob us.
At this time, don’t be afraid, just throw away a box of instant noodles.
After the collapse of the Red Empire, what is the life of the people here, hahaha.
Now, Qin Tao sits comfortably in the back seat and continues to move forward, while sighing at the world.
"They are carrying AK rifles, our weapons." The bodyguard in front said while driving.
"Yes, it shows that the army here is also very flexible. I like it."
The herdsmen would never dare to rob the army's weapons depot. They must have bought them or directly exchanged them for sheep. It seemed that the prospects of the Lao Maozi army stationed on the grassland were not optimistic. Therefore, Qin Tao was not optimistic about this trip. , full of confidence.
When the sky slowly darkened, the off-road vehicle finally drove into the anti-aircraft missile camp.
Battalion Commander Konashenko had a smile on his face: "Welcome, everyone is very welcome."
"Your Excellency Konashenko, we were introduced by Your Excellency Burlakov, so we will make it clear." Qin Tao got straight to the point: "If you are willing to sell the S-300 missile system you have to my customer, The client is willing to pay 10 million US dollars. With this money, you can go to Western Europe to live the life you want to live anonymously.”
For an ordinary person, he will never make so much money in this life.
Konashenko frowned and said to Qin Tao: "But, what should I do?"
The greater the benefit, the greater the risk. He wants to directly resell these weapon systems. How can it be so easy?
"You only need to issue an order, saying that you have received the order from your superiors. Now your unit must return home immediately and let other people prepare first, waiting to take the truck to the train station. Drivers of various missile equipment , drove the missile vehicle back," Qin Tao said.
The fewer people who know, the better. There are hundreds of people in a missile battalion, but those missile equipment vehicles, plus maintenance and support vehicles, are only twenty or thirty vehicles, and only need twenty or thirty drivers.
However, this is against the rules, because generally speaking, missile battalions operate as a whole and form a large formation when dispatched. It is rare for the driver to be dispatched alone in a car.
Therefore, when Qin Tao said this, Konashenko hesitated.
"Don't worry, the soldiers won't question it. Now they are ready to return home."
Konashenko nodded.
Qin Tao was right, no one would question this order.
Because everyone knows that they must withdraw. How to withdraw is the arrangement of their superiors. They just need to abide by it. They are not in the mood to doubt. They are all thinking about when they can go home.
That's all.
"I have a new identity for you here. When you go to Europe, you can use this new identity to start a new life." Qin Tao showed Konashenko his identity certificate, and it was Boris who helped him. It's done, absolutely no problem.
Anyway, there won't be a good life after he goes back. He has no nostalgia for this country anymore. Now, with this opportunity, he will seize it.
How much money can you make by selling just a few AK rifles? With this amount of money, he would be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
So Konashenko finally agreed.
When the signal to assemble was sounded, the soldiers in the missile battalion had already finished their dinner. It was freezing outside and they were all huddled in the barracks. However, when they heard the signal, they quickly put on their uniforms. Military coats stood in a row outside.
"We have just received the order, and we will switch to Primorsky Krai." Konashenko shouted loudly to his men: "Now, the driver stays, and the others go back to the barracks, pack their things, and wait until dawn tomorrow , let’s take the truck and go to the train station.”
"Ula!"
Someone shouted instantly.
Sure enough, no one questioned and they were very happy, especially if they changed their defense to Primorsky Krai, which is on the seaside and can be considered a developed area anyway. If they changed their defense to a place like Siberia, which is a place where birds don't shit, it would be worse than Still feeling aggrieved here.
The pilots also wanted to pack their things, but since there was an order, they had to carry out the order.
After everyone went back, only a few dozen drivers remained.
"Before leaving, we need to carry out a strategic maneuver so that the enemy cannot find our traces." Konashenko continued: "There will be an off-road vehicle to lead us, and we only need to follow the off-road vehicle and that's it. "
"yes!"
Everyone replied in unison.
Konashenko perfected Qin Tao's plan. Although his men were separated, when the equipment was started, these drivers would definitely be curious when they found out that they were driving south instead of north or east.
Strategic maneuvering prevents the enemy from discovering their whereabouts. This is also normal. Their anti-aircraft missile battalions often move their positions everywhere.
This time it was just a matter of routine.
Each piece of equipment was started.
This missile system of the Homeland Defense Force uses the Maz 543 chassis, which is the same structure as the Scud missile launcher. However, the Army's is not.
Lao Maozi's army has to fight in the field, so they only like tracked chassis. This kind of S-300V missile is installed on a uniform tracked chassis, whether it is a radar vehicle or a missile vehicle, it is the same.
When the crawler chassis came out carrying four large cylinders that were longer than its body, Qin Tao's heart was filled with excitement. His level as a traitor had been raised to a new level. In the past, , he could only resell some of Lao Maozi's retired equipment, but now, with Lao Maozi's withdrawal, he can get all kinds of active equipment.
Of course, Qin Tao didn't care about tanks, planes and cannons. What he couldn't wait to get his hands on were these anti-aircraft missiles.
The navy can't get it, but the navy can take this system to the air force to exchange! Now, the air defense missile system of the 051C warship has been settled.
Moreover, one set can be exchanged for two sets. After all, this thing is tall and can intercept ballistic missiles!
What about the air force? Buy a few more sets.
He has to thank Boris. In this guy's eyes, there is no national interest at all, only his own interests. Qin Tao will never treat Boris unfairly after getting the good stuff. And these officers in the army, Qin Tao really loves them to death.
The cold wind was blowing, but Qin Tao didn't feel cold. On the contrary, his heart was hot.
"Let's go!" Qin Tao got on the off-road vehicle and shouted to the bodyguard in front.
"Okay." The car started, carrying a lot of equipment behind, and stepped onto the vast snowfield, heading south.
Facts have proved that Qin Tao thought too much.
The missile vehicle drivers behind didn't pay attention to the route at all. They just had to follow the car in front.
That's right, that's it.
Even if there were compasses on their cars, no one would look at them.
Konashenko sat in a battalion-level radar vehicle, driving at the end of the entire formation. Beside him, the driver couldn't help singing a song while driving.
"The love for our hometown burns in our hearts. For our motherland, we go to the battlefield of death. The city is burning with war and is surrounded by smoke. The god of war is screaming wildly in the woods..."
In the past, the god of war was described as artillery, but now, artillery has been replaced by missiles and has become the most terrible weapon on the battlefield. Whether it is offensive or defensive, it is the same. This song is also the favorite of missile soldiers.
Although it is a tracked chassis, this car is different from a tank. In front of it, there is a cab like a truck, which can accommodate two or three people.
Konashenko was also feeling emotional. When a song was finished, he asked the driver, "Ivan, do you miss home?"
"Yes, I miss home. I'm very happy to leave this damn place. When we complete the shift change, maybe we will have a chance to go home and visit." The driver said, and sang another song: "When the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world..."
This classic Katyusha is even more sung by everyone. Konashenko couldn't help but get excited. Maybe, when this is done, he will go to Europe and meet a Katyusha that he will fall in love with?
The convoy drove all the way, leaving clear tracks on the snow, but in the second half of the night, heavy snow fell again, completely covering the traces of the tracks behind.
Qin Tao was extremely happy in his heart. Even God was so awesome!
Before dawn.
"Stop!"
The convoy finally stopped.
No one knew that they had crossed the border. Now, they were standing on the territory of another country. It was freezing cold, and the border on such a vast plain was originally difficult to detect. Even the boundary markers were covered.
The drivers got off the car and found that there were several more MAZ military vehicles in front of them to greet them.
"Okay, that's enough. This damn weather is too cold. Let's get a few bottles of vodka from the supply truck in front!" Konashenko said.
Hearing that there was vodka on the supply truck opposite, everyone got excited. They ran over and saw a full car of vodka.
Soon, a Russian driver got drunk. When they were lying in the snow, they were lifted into the back of a MAZ military vehicle. There was a heater in the car, so it was warm. Then, the car drove north until dawn and was dumped near a small village.
At this time, the missile soldiers who were waiting in the camp and packed their bags felt that something was wrong.
