Chapter 106 (True) The Rebels' Defeat and the Spoils of War (Please Subscribe!)
This is from everyone's perspective; the truth is, Xia Yu has already put the car into the garage.
The post-war period is precious, and they have little chance to come and collect the stolen goods, so taking them away directly is the best option.
In a battle, the weasel emptied its missiles, leaving its vehicle riddled with empty launch tubes.
Considering that the rebel command might still have a few tanks remaining, Xia Yu and Hans replaced all four spare rounds in the troop transport compartment.
For concentrated fire defense, the Kornet, which lacks fire-and-forget capability and top-attack mode, is better than the Javelin.
Cheaper price (compared to Javelin), higher penetration data, simpler operation (no batteries or coolant required) – which one isn't as appealing as a tank-type weapon?
Their company specializes in vehicle warfare, which means they use shoulder-fired weapons in vehicle warfare.
The 120mm mortar can also be used for tasks that require attacking from above, and it has a longer range than the Javelin.
With the surprise attack on the fixed target and the drone's assistance in reporting the location, Xia Yu had faith in Hans's skill.
There is an opportunity to stockpile one or two shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.
This thing is great for tricking people; he almost got tricked himself.
As for anti-aircraft vehicles, the cheap ones are not very effective, and the effective ones are too expensive for them to afford.
For example, the ZSU-23-4, a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun from the former Soviet Union, is used on the Shilka River.
The quadruple 23mm anti-aircraft gun might have been somewhat ineffective against air units in this era (especially fixed-wing aircraft), but it was still quite effective against infantry and lightly armored vehicles when laid flat in urban warfare.
If given the chance, Xia Yu would like to collect one and place it in Boge Village.
Taking it out to fight is impossible, not only because it would take up their already limited armored units, but also because its role overlaps with the Marder's machine gun.
After the missiles were replaced, the two vehicle crews were combined into one.
06 temporarily returned to the digital team, and Domi entered the cockpit to take over the post.
Kuhn remains the commander, and Hans fills in as the gunner, which makes things easier for him.
Of course, the one with the most relaxed attitude is Xia Yu, the boss.
The six seats in the troop transport compartment can be laid flat, backpacks can be used as pillows, and people can lie down directly.
Xia Yu quite liked the feeling of exiting the battle and completely emptying her mind.
However, after they captured the spoils, a tough battle awaited them, and they had no idea how far the White Hat had advanced.
Maxim and Beard Bro, who were being talked about, led their men and the mercenaries assigned to them in a fierce attack on the rebel positions.
The company's armored forces were blocked at the rear; they encountered a rebel suicide squad that had just taken drugs.
Besides the light and heavy machine guns firing, the RPGs never stopped firing at them.
Such firepower density is really like clearing out inventory. Even if their Amx-10P and Amx-10Rc are equipped with slat armor, they are still afraid of being punctured into a hedgehog.
Unlike Xia Yu, a small business owner, the high-ranking officials in white top hats don't actually crawl into infantry fighting vehicles and tanks to fight.
The destruction of armored vehicles and the loss of crews are simply part of the company's operating costs.
Should SNpE explosive reactive armor be installed on two armored vehicles?
Don't be ridiculous. They're consumables anyway. Why not just take a batch of retired "new" vehicles from the military?
The bulletproof grilles were all welded by the vehicle crew themselves, so the effect was definitely not as good as the standard type.
"These rebels are fighting now, but where were they before?"
Extending the hK416 out from the corner, and estimating that it had fired seven or eight shots, Bearded Guy yelled at Maxim.
Although he had a radio, he felt that this was the only way to vent his frustration.
The front lines were advancing rapidly, but now the final push is the most painful.
"They're probably planning to run away; these are the abandoned dead soldiers."
Maxim saw more in the rebels' desperate struggle.
So it's tough, but we'll just have to ask Busa for more money or more minerals, as long as the quality is high.
Once this deal is completed, their branch office will have fully met its KPI for the year, and then they can take over Jihuo Defense.
A smile crept onto Maxim's lips.
This year he can exchange his family's apartment in Bali's 16th district for a detached house.
I obtained my citizenship after retiring from the military, and I bought the house after working for several years after joining the White Hats.
Since being promoted to branch manager, his income has increased significantly, including his salary and extra income.
He can afford better cars, better houses, more children, and better education for them.
If you fulfill your contracts properly and earn the money you deserve, no one will bother you with that kind of life.
However, if Jihuo Defense, a small company, insists on provoking Xia Yu, then it should be prepared to lose everything.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
The Marder's 20mm autocannon roared as a Russian-made RAM V-2 light wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle, riddled with holes, crashed headfirst into the side wall of a roadside building.
"01, take some men to take a look. These four-wheeled armored vehicles are issued to officers. Maybe we can find something on the vehicle."
Xia Yu took over the drone reconnaissance and spotted the "fat sheep" driving out of the command post from several kilometers away.
The rebels' defeat was a foregone conclusion, but some people didn't want to follow them into the rainforest.
Taking their valuables and parting ways in the chaos would have been a good choice, but they were unlucky and ran into Xia Yu and his group.
"Calling the boss, there's a rebel lieutenant colonel in the car, he's been shot in the stomach..."
Sergei seemed to have witnessed some gruesome scene, and paused for a few seconds before continuing his report.
"We found a suitcase."
Sure enough, there was something to be had. Xia Yu was going to make every single one of these rebel officers drop gold coins.
Sergei returned with his men, making the suitcase easy to pry open. However, they were civilized people, and the boss had prepared a key for a TSA customs lock beforehand, which opened with a single poke.
Unzipping the bag, the pungent smell of ink from the dollar bills hit me.
The first thing you see are three stacks of $300,000 each, wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent moisture, which looks very professional.
The amount of money wasn't much, which is normal in Panaka.
There is only one Busa, one Kongluga, but many Panaka.
Being a colonel here is not as good as being a major like Osa.
Below were a few pieces of secondhand clothing in the style of ordinary local people. Xia Yu picked them up and shook them, revealing several 500g gold bars.
Sure enough, gold is still the best choice; it never goes out of style.
"keep going!"
Throwing off his clothes, Xia Yu waved his hand, and the tank once again headed towards the command post in the city center.
While they were engaged in fierce fighting with the Muwa armored battalion, Sasu, escorted by the last two T-72AVs and an infantry battalion, drove through the rebel-controlled northern district of Panaka toward the disputed rainforest border.
The rebels used all the trucks that were still operational, loaded them with weapons, ammunition, light and heavy assets, and over a thousand soldiers.
The drone footage clearly showed the situation to Busa's side, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Recapturing Panaka was the limit of this operation; completely eliminating the rebels was simply impossible.
However, the viruses, bacteria, snakes, insects, and rodents in the rainforest will help them weaken the rebels.
This is not an act of self-deception; even with the help of border armed forces to establish a foothold, the rebels will still suffer significant non-combat casualties.
Also, if it weren't the dry season, their convoy would get stuck after only a few kilometers.
The dry season made it easier for them to attack, but it also made it easier for the rebels to escape, so there was no solution.
"Send helicopters from the White Hats to attack them!"
"Do you think the rebels wouldn't be prepared for airstrikes? They won't take off."
Monjo countered his colleague's statement.
He saw the white top hat better than anyone else; it was a PMC company that bullied the weak and feared the strong, only capable of waging peacekeeping operations.
The rebels still have at least a dozen Igla anti-aircraft missiles. Three or four of them could take down a Gazelle, which is so vulnerable that a glancing blow would be fatal.
For the sake of money, their pursuit consisted of firing a single volley of rockets into the air from a distance.
Such firepower was completely ineffective.
If it's a concentrated fire defense operation, and if their Mi-24V hasn't crashed, then handing it over to Monjo would be reassuring.
Unfortunately, their plane crashed due to competition from their rivals, and Focus Fire Defense will also be waging war against the White Hats.
For some reason, Meng Qiao felt like he was reading a wish-fulfillment novel, if he knew what a wish-fulfillment novel was.
A small company, acting in self-defense, takes down a large, evil corporation, and the small company even facilitates this process; this level of involvement is extraordinary.
After returning to his unit's base after the meeting, Monjo received a phone call.
“Mr. Sherlock, I bet you have some good news to tell me.”
Upon seeing that it was Xia Yu's number, Meng Qiao said in a light tone.
"Yes, General, we have just dealt with the rebels' last armored forces and are advancing toward their command post."
"Let me guess, you guys took out 10 T-72AVs, right?"
The strong are always respected and revered, and Jihuo Defense is such a strong entity.
"Thirteen of them, and they were even equipped with javelins. Our company's T-64B1M lost an engine."
Although the process was thrilling, Xia Yu talked about it very casually.
"Javelin? Wait, I remember the White Hats also have javelins."
Monjo recalled that these companies offered customized services.
"The other two companies are NLAw, whose javelin prices are not low, and there is no guarantee of a hit."
The cost of destroying a tank is 700,000 per vehicle, while using their anti-tank missiles costs 350,000 per attack.
Busa tried it out, and it took three tries to take down one car. It would be better to just spend 700,000.
Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly; his guess was correct.
The Igla-S surface-to-air missile from last time, and the Javelin anti-tank missile from this time, were both provided by White Hat.
These guys are trying to profit from both sides; they have absolutely no business integrity.
"Thank you for the reminder, General. We will be careful then."
Xia Yu expressed her gratitude to Meng Qiao.
If you prepare in advance, you can minimize the threat of javelins.
Whether you're kneeling or prone, a burst of machine gun fire will blow you up along with the bullets.
"No need to thank me, just help me take them out. Besides, these guys aren't very strong, but they have a lot of good stuff."
White Hat coveted Xia Yu's chariot, while Meng Qiao coveted White Hat's possessions.
"When the time comes, you can give me the things you don't need."
According to Meng Qiao, Xia Yu does not intend to charge money at that time.
As for the spoils, everyone who participates gets a share.
In addition to providing information about the White Hat, Monjo was also responsible for appeasing the Busa side.
When two parties involved in a fight, the best option for the party involved is not to get involved, provided that Busa understands what is happening.
Xia Yu didn't want to accidentally shoot down an ally, resulting in a lose-lose situation where one side would lose face and the other would lose orders.
After hanging up the phone, they arrived at the command center building.
The place is quite empty. Meng Qiao and Xia Yu just talked about the rebels' movements.
Although their withdrawal was rather hasty, it was still planned and had contingency plans.
The chances of finding anything in the main building are slim; the better places to loot are the several armored battalions that have been wiped out nearby.
When they came out one by one, they never expected that they would not be able to go back, and their personal belongings were naturally left at the base.
It's possible that some clever people have thought of this as well, but they can still save some money.
Xia Yu's company has few employees, but the amount each person receives is still quite considerable.
The group first arrived at a residential community with shops on the ground floor, which was the garrison of a T-72AV main battle armored battalion.
The drone had already captured images showing traces of 155mm howitzer shells hitting the upper floors.
Everyone says the 152 God Cult is capable of destroying heaven and earth.
However, the 155mm howitzer, which is roughly the same caliber, is somewhat ineffective when facing multi-story reinforced concrete buildings.
Yes, it's not a bunker buster. At most, one shot can destroy two or three floors, or a few dozen square meters of building structure.
To penetrate so many layers and hit the tanks on the first floor would be incredibly expensive.
Throwing money down the drain is pointless. If the rebels hear any commotion, won't they just drive off in their tanks?
"Buzz~~"
The weasel trampled over the cement road that had long been crushed by the T-72AV, and after entering the "camp," traces of life could be seen here.
In the corner lay rolls of rusty tracks, some broken by shells and others past their lifespan.
Single-tip tracks are cheap and wear out easily, unlike the double-tip tracks used on the T-64B1M.
However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia upgraded the tracks on the T-72bA, so new military enthusiasts can no longer easily distinguish between the T-64 and T-72 by the tracks.
After getting off the vehicle, Xia Yu kicked the track roll, seemingly recalling the pain of changing tracks in the past.
Back then, the infantrymen envied them for being able to drive tanks, while the infantrymen envied the fact that they only had to clean their guns and train their physical fitness.
Handling those massive iron lumps weighing tens of tons every day can make your arms several sizes thicker.
Fortunately, we now have a system that allows for one-click replacement, without the need for disassembly or reassembly.
"01, you take the men up, Kuhn and I will stay down here."
Xia Yu picked up his AK-105, folded the stock aside, and cocked it.
Using guns is only for dealing with suddenly appearing rebel remnants; if there are more than 5 of them, using machine guns to sweep them is more efficient.
Kuhn remained in the car, ready to act at any moment, watching the eight men carry sacks upstairs, while Xia Yu strolled around nearby.
Huh!
This 30-ton mobile oil storage tank is less than half full, and there are still nearly 20 tons of diesel fuel inside.
We accepted it. Although it was only worth ten or twenty thousand US dollars, it was the most valuable military supplies!
In addition, their company is also a major fuel consumer; one T-64B1M alone consumes three to four hundred liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
Now they can still benefit from Busa's influence, but if they turn around and start a war with the White Hat, they'll have to burn their own resources.
After collecting the oil, he continued to scavenge for resources that the system could absorb and decompose, such as the ammunition depot of this battalion.
Armor-piercing shells, high-explosive anti-tank shells, and high-explosive grenades are lined up in a row, with the warheads and propellant charges stored separately on both sides of the iron cans. Judging from the production date, they are stock from ten years ago.
No wonder it was so hard to fight them; they'd been sitting there for so long.
Xia Yu directly puts the materials into the storage warehouse, and prints new ones when needed; that's definitely enough.
