Chapter 60 Chapter 2.17 The riverbank filled with gunpowder smoke

In addition to nuclear bombing, what can efficiently destroy tanks?

Is it a ground attack aircraft? No, that thing is used to bully guerrillas who have no regular air defense firepower. Its firepower of hovering and attacking the ground is very fierce, but the air defense forces of major countries can easily deal with such fixed-trajectory aircraft. In the future, Shenzhou's Suzaku ground attack aircraft will be equipped with shield technology, but even so, the impact formation deployed by the ground armored group is a horizontal row consisting of a tank every one or two hundred meters on average, and the destruction efficiency of pure attack aircraft is limited.

Is it a single-soldier missile? Missiles do have the ability to destroy tanks, but these two-legged infantrymen carrying such single-shot firepower have a hard injury in terms of movement speed. Even if Shenzhou develops a single-soldier mecha now, it will not improve much. In regular battles, the mobility brought by the rotation of the tracks can completely kill the relatively stationary infantry. If the infantry is in a vehicle, then it is actually a confrontation between vehicles. The front row must have units that can resist and counter armor!

The most effective way to deal with tanks is to open up the formation of tanks, and the armor-piercing shells will pierce each other's steel shells!

...

On October 4, 2198 of the Qin Tongli calendar, on the high ground outside the Yili River Valley, Wei Keng's corps faced the Soviet armored cluster and started a tank battle.

From the perspective of total force, the strength of the two sides is very different, but this is an area where the hillside blocks the river, and the intersection area is very narrow, less than 50 kilometers.

The tanks of both sides marched in the direction of the Yili River turning from west to north, and saluted each other with armor-piercing shells from a distance.

Within two hours, the Soviet armored group army suffered a head-on blow in this area and experienced a cunning tactic.

They found that the defenders of Shenzhou here successfully deployed tanks in artificial bunkers. These bunkers are sometimes just a pile of earth, but for Shenzhou's reversing experts, these barriers can just block the assault of the Soviet steel torrent.

And the Soviet armored forces encountered anti-tank piles on the road!

This half-meter high anti-tank pile is not to prevent the tank from driving through.

But when the Soviet tank rushed straight up, the chassis would be lifted up to show the front.

At this moment, it was immediately locked by the Sky Eye sentry in the sky and transmitted to the highly informationized Shenzhou tank group. Immediately, a high-speed tungsten steel armor-piercing bullet was fired, giving the Soviet armored vehicle a crotch kick.

And if it wanted to go around, it would expose the weaker side armor. The tank driver seemed to be assisted by God, seizing this moment and opening fire.

In the tank battle on the morning of the 4th.

In the end, the Soviet army declared the failure of the attack at the painful cost of losing 345 tanks. The Shenzhou side lost 32 tanks and won an absolute victory tactically.

In the evening, the infantry of the Shenzhou side launched an attack under the cover of artillery, dragged 87 tanks that could still be repaired to the tugboat on the Ile River, and then transported them to the rear.

In the following week of repairs, these Soviet tanks were repaired, and some civilian electronic equipment (tablets) were placed on the internal frames, using their cameras and recognition programs for preliminary informatization.

…

On the 5th, the Soviet army was obviously more fully prepared, using double-blade helicopters and bandicoot bombers for air-to-ground coordination.

However, such electronic coordinated operations were in chaos just after entering the battlefield. The three Phoenix fighters transformed into electronic warfare fantasy-breaking fighters made dozens of times more targets appear in the Soviet radar detection.

And then, Wei Keng showed them what coordinated operations were. The White Tiger heavy artillery was towed by a cement boat, and after being fixed on the Ilie River beach, it began to bombard fiercely.

This shell is still a traditional high-speed penetrating shell.

The new generation of warheads of the Shenzhou military are plasma beam energy weapons wrapped in nanolayers, which are being developed in the Shanghai-Su Joint Industrial Group. They may have completed the research and development, but there is no plan to equip the Saibei Corps. What is the reason? Who told Wei Keng's Luoshui Group and the Zhangjin Group in the east have a bad relationship?

But Luoshui also has unique skills. Wei Keng's father founded the Luoshui Group with electronic technology. Wei Keng used network channels to revitalize a large number of low-end and mid-end electronic industries, so some electronic products with simple structures can be made very cheap, such as terminal-sensitive bombs.

After the curved trajectory fell, the high-speed projectile scanned the ground, and after another explosion, it turned into a high-speed metal projectile that penetrated the armor of the Soviet-made tank from top to bottom. A large number of flames appeared on the ground, and only those tanks with iron curtain energy reinforcement were not destroyed.

After the 5th, due to Wei Keng's proper air protection of the area, the Soviet Air Force had no chance to take advantage. Although the Soviet double-edged armed helicopters also flew over the river many times and destroyed many barges, the missiles on the barges also made the double-edged helicopters spin, spin, float freely, and land hard with a bang, turning into a smoking burning pile in the valley.

In the Yile River Basin, the main stage of the war is still the fight between artillery and armor.

After the failure of the five-day war, the Soviet staff realized that it was unrealistic to rely on heavy troops to force their way in. The complex and long Ile River Valley passage could always break the iron rods that the Soviets put in.

But, give up just like that? The Soviet high-level commanders were unwilling to give up!

The Soviet goal of this battle was to completely destroy all resistance forces of Shenzhou in the Central Asian outpost area and sweep the Shenzhou garrison area in the Tianshan area.

Now, with great difficulty, we have finally used tactics to drive the main combat force of Shenzhou in the Western Region out of the house and beat them up, and drove them to Tianzhu in the south. But now we have encountered a goalkeeper like Wei Keng. It is like eating sand and drinking water and seeing insects.

…

But now the Su Heavy Equipment Group has no choice. The military department of Shenzhou has successfully transferred troops to block the intersection on the north side of Shenzhou during this period. The members of Wei Keng's light armored vehicle sentry team who arrived here first have handed over the vehicles and defensive positions to the friendly forces on the spot.

And the Russians did not know that these troops under Wei Keng then moved south at a very fast speed, joined a group of supporting tanks and heavy equipment, and rushed to the Yili River Valley.

[Old Russian proverb: When encountering difficulties, the iron rod sweeps across! When the difficulties double, the iron rod thickens! 】

After October 7, the Soviet army quickly bypassed a group of light-armed troops from the lower reaches of the Yili River into the Yibo Sea. This group consumed less supplies and could barely maintain combat supplies within a month after entering the area. After the transfer, they immediately attacked Wei Keng's corps from the northeast. At the same time, they also launched an attack in the south of the Yili River, trying to destroy Wei Keng's blocking troops with a north-south pincer attack tactic.

But this offensive did not work. The participation of Soviet light armor on the northern line was all within Wei Keng's calculations.

Combat armor such as the sickle and the harvester, which rely on magnetoelectric memory metal to form tensile muscles, has excellent performance in terrain crossing, and can even rely on rockets at the bottom to leapfrog over 30-meter obstacles. Often more than a dozen such mechas can capture high ground.

However, in the mountain defense system on the northern line, Wei Keng conducted exploration before the war. During the war, the engineering team temporarily widened the road with blasting, allowing the captured Rhino main battle tanks and Kirin tanks to drive directly to the ridge. One car is like a mountain, and all the machines cannot be used.

The Soviet light armored units were smashed one by one by the tanks on the hilltop, and the soldiers under Wei Keng retreated from the ridge after firing a shot, and then moved along the road behind the ridge to another place to continue firing a shot, which really made the commander of the northeastern direction of the bear so angry that he smashed the vodka bottle.

On the 12th, Wei Keng still firmly held many key positions in front of the Ile River Valley, like a thick and short vise that could not be worn, slightly protruding to clamp the main force of the Soviet army, and occasionally "twisting" it, so that the Soviet steel torrent could not advance or retreat!

Wei Keng was not a person who reported victory randomly. Because Master Wei's mentality has always been: "For anything that has not been put in the bag, you have to keep your mind alert."

But the Ministry of War had already reported the victory of this battle in advance. In all the major newspapers in Shenjing, reports about the annihilation of the armored forces of several divisions of the enemy country in the north came out. Even the photos recorded by Wei Keng on the battlefield, the scene of the wreckage of Soviet tanks scattered on the west bank of the Ile River, were also put on the headlines. As for Wei Keng's military rank, it was directly changed to deputy general. When he was ready to come back, he was directly promoted to general.

This is real "martial arts", not something that can be obtained by accumulating experience in the camp or paying money to go through the back door of the Ministry of War.

The group of Sai Chu faction in the Western Regions was seeking this military merit promotion. They were all from the famous families of the Military Officer Academy in Shenjing, and they claimed to have real talents and knowledge. Now in the end, it was obtained by Wei Keng, an outsider, which was really ironic.

This military merit and military promotion. At present, it is not Wei Keng's main consideration. What Wei Keng is anxiously thinking about now is: end the war!

...

So when the Ministry of War in Shenjing held another video conference,

The regent praised: "General Wei Keng, I hope you will continue to work hard and make your name known in history."

Wei Keng was very calm and put forward his current strategic thinking!

Wei Keng: "May I ask what our strategic plan is next?" The chief clerk of the Ministry of War: "General Wei, we are carrying out a comprehensive counterattack plan."

Wei Keng: "Then tell the truth. From the current battle situation, I can only hold on for a month at most. After a month, if there is no action in other strategic directions to put full pressure on the Red Palace, I will be defeated."

When the situation turned for the better, Wei Keng suddenly said that he was defeated, which made the Ministry of War feel that Wei Keng was a bit of a sabotage!

Wei Keng: "My dear officers, I am a person who joined the army halfway. My views on war are different from the mainstream of the army. Now I dare to present it. I hope you can forgive my wild words."

The regent was very optimistic about Wei Keng and motioned Wei Keng to continue.

Wei Keng: "Sun Tzu's Art of War: 'War is a matter of great importance to a country! Life and death, survival, must be carefully considered.' War is a clash of national strength, and victory requires mobilizing the power of the whole country. Just like now, the conflict in the northern part of the Great Wall is local, but it has already opened the long-term war in the future of the northern part of China.

I can hold on for a month because my army can withstand the forces currently mobilized by the Russians, but if the time is extended and the Russians further mobilize, the battles our army encounters are just a small splash in the conflict between the two countries!"

Listening on the side The official of the Ministry of Revenue said sarcastically: "Are you saying that you are now supporting the frontier alone?"

Wei Keng: "It is not important whether I support it alone or with my colleagues. The army is a major event for the country! Compared with it, we are all small. What is important is the attitude of my Shenzhou towards this war."

The layman who was listening wanted to refute, but the Regent turned his head and said coldly: "I want to hear what General Wei said."

Wei Keng: "My Shenzhou should use war to promote peace. In the areas of Mobei and Xing'an Mountains, we should send good generals to attack with light troops across the board."

"Arrogant, Wei Keng, you are provocative! If there is a large-scale war between China and Rakshasa! Our national strength will be greatly damaged, and the benefits will be other wolves, tigers and leopards!" Members of the Xu Party found the opportunity to launch an attack .

Wei Keng remained calm: "War should have been avoided between Shenzhou and Rakshasa. The two sides do not have the conditions for a large-scale war. The loss of security tacit understanding on the long border is a disaster for us, and the same for the other side. Since the princes of the Ministry of War know it well, then the Rakshasa will also know it."

"You are playing with fire and burning yourself!" one minister scolded.

Wei Keng's tone was also a little angry, and he refuted: "Weren't we all playing with fire before? Military warfare is like fire, everything depends on attitude. If you light a match carelessly, although the flame is small, you are still playing with fire. The goal is clear , act cautiously and apply strict behavioral boundaries, this is fire control.”

Wei Keng gritted his teeth in his heart: "Previously, you central ministers thought that the Western Region was far away and there was nothing to worry about. Now that you really want to solve the problem, you are like a long-lasting turtle in Nanshan."

[However, Wei Keng did not realize that showing emotions so easily was a taboo in China's officialdom. 】

Wei Keng opened a specific proposal for the northern strategy on the electronic video, which is for light troops to cut off the fragile transportation nodes in Su's vast northern territory and provide deterrence! They did not attack large cities, did not engage in confrontation with the Soviet main forces, and even tried their best to avoid local defenses and break diplomatic relations.

China should make its attitude clear and prepare for a comprehensive war to force the Soviet Union to the negotiating table.

…

Ten minutes later, the talks with Shenjing ended. Wei Keng realized from the way the supervisor looked at him that his military career might have reached its peak.

If a warrior has a unique idea about national policy and expresses it clearly, even if the content of what he says is correct, he will be shelved by the court officials! This is how Wu'an Jun Bai Qi ended up.

However, Wei Keng is not afraid!

Wei Keng, a scoundrel, said in a confident manner: "I have no intention of becoming a general in China. I don't have much general talent in the first place."

Wei Keng connected his own super network information system and looked at the big data information in the west.

At this time, all Luoshui Group's investments in the Western Region stopped falling and started to rise! When Wei Keng went straight out of the game and succeeded in stud, it proved that even the most risky military crisis could not affect Luoshui's investment.

What? Liquidation of temples after the war. China's current superstructure, even if the powerful ministers in the DPRK put Wei Keng in cold storage, it was absolutely impossible to suppress the rise of new forces in Luoshui.

The reason for the cold storage is that the Chinese court officials are unwilling to give Wei Keng more qualifications for the military position, but if they want to suppress Luo Shui, they will be forced to rebel!

Luoshui's material deployment combined with Wei Keng's current military prowess can resist several Soviet armored divisions externally, so internally, this is a huge bargaining chip.

A single general is easy to suppress, and a single order can make him leave his camp. And if a single business family behaves rebelliously, it can also be suppressed. But the combination of the two and their tacit understanding and cooperation during the war means that we must be cautious!

The cabinet may gradually cool down Wei Keng in military affairs, but that does not mean that it will underestimate Luo Shui, who has made great contributions this time.
