It's finally here! It's been a long time coming!
Xia Yu glanced at the time; more than three hours had passed since the first rocket from the Massar rocket artillery battalion landed in the rebel camp.
The cleanup of the entire camp will likely take until tomorrow morning, as there are still quite a few die-hards left behind.
Even if Sasu were to speak to them, they would not surrender, so accepting harmless disposal is their only fate.
“I am a weasel. There is a rebel rocket launcher position near you. Charge over and wipe them out.”
"yes!"
The company commander of the 1st Company of the Anka Mechanized Infantry Battalion responded loudly.
They even equipped the battalion with the only T-64B1M, which was responsible for assault missions.
At the same time, the deputy chief of staff also received news that Busa's main force was encircling them.
"A second T-64 tank?"
"Yes, it's exactly the same as the one we just saw."
The patrols scattered throughout the camp reported this over the radio.
There are actually some differences. The Anka mechanized infantry battalion's vehicle was only equipped with three layers of blades. The unproduced active defense system was more expensive than the base T-64B1M vehicle. Busa, whose financial resources were not as good as Nelobi's, did not place any additional orders.
“It’s not safe here anymore. I’ll take two rocket launchers to Camp 6. You can use the rest to ambush the enemy.”
The deputy chief of staff said to one of his majors.
If a howitzer can be laid flat to bombard people, so can a rocket launcher. Just set the elevation range to 0°, load it with armor-piercing shells specifically designed to hit tanks and fortified positions, and you're done.
"yes!"
After assigning the task, the deputy chief of staff had several soldiers take a few rocket launchers from the corner of the wall, and together they left the rainforest where the rocket artillery position was located.
Unlike the RpG-7, which is most commonly used by the rebels, these are high-end, disposable missiles, serving as a substitute when anti-tank missiles are exhausted or no longer effective.
He hadn't intended to use this, but if multiple rocket launchers couldn't destroy the enemy, he would have no choice but to sacrifice human lives.
Since we're going to die here anyway, we might as well drag the enemy down to hell with us.
"Captain, come and take a look, they have this."
Near the border, Anton, who was opening a blind box in the back of a truck, poked his head out of the tarpaulin and raised the rocket launcher in his hand, shouting to Andrei.
"What is this, a rocket launcher? Why does it have two tubes?"
As a helicopter pilot, Andrei didn't know much about individual soldier weapons and equipment, so he asked questions without understanding the situation.
"This is an Oslo RpG-30 rocket launcher. The extra thin tube is for loading decoy grenades."
Anton explained with a serious expression.
"It can deceive active defense systems or detonate the first layer of explosive reactive armor, clearing the way for the main munitions that follow."
Being a professional, he knew about this weapon even before he retired.
All I can say is that the RpG-30, codenamed "Hook," perfectly embodies Russia's simple and brutal nature. With a decoy secondary munition and a tandem warhead main munition, one shot from the tube will hit you three times, leaving anyone who comes in stunned silence.
"Besides the RpG-30, there is also this RpG-32."
Anton put down the "double-barreled cannon" and took out a large rocket launcher.
"The Osmans designed a reloadable heavy-duty cannon for Joaquin, with an effective range of 700 meters."
Sasu has prepared quite a few good things, but the quantity is very limited. There are less than 10 rounds on the vehicle, and the number left at the camp will not exceed this number.
"I will report to the boss immediately."
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Andrei immediately returned to the helicopter and used the onboard radio to call Xia Yu.
"You're saying the rebels have RpG-30s and RpG-32s?"
Xia Yu, inside the fortifications, confirmed this.
"Yes, there were more RpG-7s, but 01 discovered these advanced models."
"I see, that makes things a bit troublesome."
Xia Yu frowned slightly.
As the owner of PMC, he naturally knew about the RPG-30, a very effective man-portable anti-tank weapon from Russia, which was very effective against active protection systems.
I don't know about other countries, but when the Yisel people heard that Russia had introduced this rocket launcher, they upgraded their trophy defense system overnight, adding a sub-unit called "trench coat".
It's not all bad news. This rocket launcher has a range of only 200 meters, and the optimal operating distance is reduced to 140 meters.
For a single soldier, approaching an armored target at this distance is extremely dangerous, as it means they've almost run out of ammunition.
The T-64B1M's coaxial machine gun and automatic weapon station use 7.62x54mm and 12.7x108mm ammunition. The machine gun positions in the rebel camp can be found by rummaging through the garbage, but there is no way to deal with the Marder S30, because their bullets are not interchangeable.
"Mongooses, honey badgers, now it's up to our weasel crew. Are you all confident?"
"There is x2!"
The two shouted with great confidence.
"Alright, reload after one grenade, let's go out and continue the hunt!"
"Buzz~~"
The T-64B1M broke out of the semi-underground bunker and began searching for a new target.
"Da~da~da~~"
In another bunker where the Weasel S30 was located, Nikolai threw the empty MG3 back into the troop pod, picked up a rebel pKm and started firing.
On average, each ammunition belt would jam three or four times, which clearly showed that the rebel machine gunners had not properly maintained this Pakalya version of the PKM, and that they only needed it to fire in daily use.
"Calling Mole, this is Weasel. We're going to cover you. Take the wounded and the assault team and get out of here first."
"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"
After reactivating the weapon station, Xia Yu issued a withdrawal order to the mole vehicle crew.
The RpG-30 is more effective against the Marder S30, which only has a light explosive reactive armor kit, than the T-64B1M, which has three layers of blades, especially since the Marder is currently short of ammunition.
"Mole received, everyone get in the car, we're leaving!"
Kuhn responded loudly.
The boss managed to rescue them with great difficulty; if their troop compartment had been breached, the wounded would never have survived.
Needless to say, they would be a burden if they stayed.
It would be better to withdraw first, and then come back after we've laid down the wounded and replenished our ammunition!
"It's an X7!"
"Bang~ Bang~ Bang~~"
The Weasel S30, which rushed out of its cover, fired all six smoke grenades in one go. The six people whose seats had been taken by the stretcher, three on each side, used the locks to hang themselves on the vehicle.
Even if they run out of ammo, it doesn't matter. Except for Nikolai, who uses the PKM for continuous output, Alexander and 05 use the AKs they find for fire suppression.
The unlucky II and 04 could only pull out Glocks to accompany everyone, since pistols were really useless at this distance.
Sergei, however, managed to take down two with a single shot from his shotgun. The effective range of 0.91 meters is no joke, especially considering that these rebels weren't wearing bulletproof vests.
The weasel S30 traversed the fire line and finally returned to the minefield passage they had cleared.
Lyman slammed on the brakes and just happened to run into the arriving blue helmet troops, led by a pure white Panhard M3.
During the company defense battle in Bogo Village, Kuhn and his team used Weasel S30s to blast through several of these green-skinned Hedgehogs from White Top Hat, and surprisingly, they looked quite good after being painted all white.
Sure enough, white tigers, white lions, and white hedgehogs—humans have a special fondness for albino animals.
"Oh God, thank goodness you made it out."
Schneider jumped out of the car and looked at the menacing soldiers in front of him.
As expected of the company that defeated the White Hats, they rescued the crash crew in such a short time and were unharmed themselves.
"Quickly, unload the man and reload him immediately. We have to go back."
"No time for pleasantries," Kuhn commanded.
"It's an X7!"
They opened the rear hatch and handed the two pilots over to each other, and 06 also brought over the supply truck.
There were about a hundred fully loaded 5.56mm and 7.62mm magazines, but the important thing was to load the machine guns and autocannons.
The pre-loaded machine gun ammunition belts contain 100 rounds each, requiring two people to load, not to mention the coaxial machine gun with 5,000 rounds of ammunition.
The vehicle crew and the assault team worked together seamlessly, and the loading process was so smooth that the soldiers of the German Army, who were still using FAMAS missiles, were completely stunned.
Fortunately, although these PMC employees were driving old cars, they weren't wearing German camouflage, so they probably weren't those fat nerds.
"Mr. 01, where are your boss and my brother?"
Wearing a blue helmet and an oversized bulletproof vest, Liv finished treating the wounded and then had time to come over and ask Sergei, whom she had met a few times.
She didn't know the other person's name, so she could only call them by their code name.
"The boss and the meerkat are still inside. We need to get back immediately. It's not very safe here, so let's stay in the car as much as possible!"
After inserting the last magazine into his breastplate and cocking his rifle, Sergei spoke to Liv.
"Quick, quick, quick, we need to leave!"
Hearing Kuhn's greeting, Sergei could only nod and turn around to rush into the troop transport compartment of the Weasel S30, unable to say anything more. Lyman did a reverse turn on the spot before the tail hatch closed and accelerated towards the camp.
So this is what my brother's life is like?
Watching the infantry fighting vehicle disappear into the distance, Liv straightened her helmet and couldn't help but think to herself.
She was busy at the hospital like she was fighting a war, while her brother and the others were really fighting a war.
At first she didn't understand, but when she saw the miners being brutally murdered by the rebels and the refugees who had lost their homes, she suddenly understood a lot.
War is cruel, but if it is truly unavoidable, then we can only hope that a victor can be decided as soon as possible, allowing the less bad side to win.
After carefully researching Firepower Defense, Liv discovered that this was exactly what the company was doing.
The contract with Busa allowed them to defeat the rebels at top speed, advancing from Konluga to Bomatou, to Panaka, and finally to the border rainforest. Peace seemed within reach.
But people are truly contradictory. They choose to become doctors to save lives and yearn for peace, yet deep down they suppress a terrible other side.
Liv took a deep breath of the gunpowder-smelling air, tightened her bulletproof vest, and hurried back.
"Boom~~ Boom~~"
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
In the rainforest where the rocket artillery position was located, a 12-tube rocket launcher was blown up by a single grenade fired from a T-64B1M of the Anka mechanized infantry battalion, and was then subjected to intense concentrated fire from another vehicle.
The rocket launcher, with its launch tubes laid flat, fired one armor-piercing round after another. Except for the first three, which missed their mark, the remaining twelve rounds rained down on the tank's frontal armor.
The first layer of slat armor was cleared first by the exploding armor-piercing shells, and then the lower glacis, upper glacis, shell crater, and turret were all taken care of by the successive armor-piercing shells.
The three crew members felt as if they were inside a giant bell, being frantically struck by people outside until they were all knocked unconscious.
Even so, after receiving Kuhn's rigorous training, all the crews in the Anka mechanized infantry battalion learned not to open hatches recklessly in combat.
That way, even if you get hit, you won't be killed by the overpressure.
Kuhn had not anticipated that the vehicle would be bombarded by rocket artillery continuously. Outside the vehicle, the armor-piercing shells that protected against the damage from the armor-piercing shells exploded layer by layer until all three layers were cleared, and even the base armor was damaged by a single shell.
That's terrible. Although this T-64B1M wasn't destroyed, its defenses were reduced to bare metal, and its sights and aiming devices were completely destroyed. It's practically useless.
In war, equipment losses are inevitable. If Xia Yu hadn't had the system, the concentrated fire defense would have suffered considerable losses as well. The most important thing is to keep the experienced crews alive.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~ thump~~"
The Weasel S30, which is usually reluctant to use ammunition, fired freely this time, emerging from behind the T-64B1M and unleashing a burst of fragile armor-piercing rounds that directly covered another stealthy rocket launcher.
"Rumble~~"
The rocket launcher and the rockets in its launch tube were blown up together, sending flames soaring into the sky.
The crew driving this vehicle was the one that had the best theoretical and practical scores when Kuhn was an instructor.
They mastered the essence of combined arms warfare, taking advantage of the perfect opportunity for the T-64B1M to withstand damage, and like an assassin, they delivered a fatal blow to the enemy.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~ thump~~"
The cannon veered to the left, completely destroying the rocket launcher that had missed its target, turning it into a pile of scrap metal and earning the MVP title in the battalion.
As for why it's within the camp, it's because the MVP outside the camp is undoubtedly the best.
"Thump~~"
A T-64B1M, having circled alongside the T-72M1, fired a Mango round at its side armor, the height of which was precisely where the enemy's autoloader was positioned.
"Boom!"
Amidst the deafening explosion, the T-72M1 was severed from its body, and a blinding flame shot into the sky.
During the battle, the cunning Hans aimed at the enemy's autoloader and fired, with absolutely stunning results.
"Not counting the BMP-1s and BMP-2s, Sasu confessed that he bought 10 T-72M1s and took two T-72AVs with him when he evacuated from Panaka. How many have we destroyed so far?"
Xia Yu asked Hans.
"Two were taken down by indirect fire, two were taken down by luring them out, and with the one we just took down, that makes a total of five."
"Two more were added, and the Anka mechanized infantry battalion also helped take out two more."
Sasu bought so many tanks thinking that the infantry fighting vehicles of the Anka mechanized infantry battalion were not as good as tanks in terms of defense and firepower. Little did he know that the other side had also upgraded to the same configuration as Jihuo Defense and equipped the infantry fighting vehicles with anti-tank missiles.
"So they only have 5 left now..."
Something's up!
Xia Yu interrupted Hans, pointing to the thermal imaging on the screen showing a heat source reacting in the bushes 900 meters away.
Thanks to Andrei's reminder, he kept an eye on the outside while talking to Hans, and sure enough, he noticed something unusual.
"Judging by its size, it must be a person. Is that a tube he's holding?"
"That's it, fire one grenade and reload, send him on his way!"
Xia Yu said coldly.
When dealing with enemies, no amount of cruelty is too much.
"Yes, one grenade loaded!"
"emission!"
"Thump!"
The rebel lieutenant, clutching an RPG-30, was waiting for the T-64B1M to approach, but the little gadget on the tank arrived even faster.
"Boom!"
