"Call I and 05, lead the team to the evacuation point immediately."
Xia Yu turned on the radio and told the ground guidance team to call it a day.
They exposed two of the rebels' air defense positions; their job was done, and the rest was left to him, the boss, to clean up.
"It's x2!"
Upon receiving the evacuation order, Anton immediately contacted the glider to confirm that the Mi-24 would arrive on time before calmly making his evacuation.
However, the rebel camp No. 4 was in complete chaos.
The shockwave from the explosion of the SAM-9 missile vehicle directly ripped the observer off the tree, and the night vision goggles on his helmet were also flung off. Groaning in pain, he naturally couldn't see the ghost in the sky descending with another laser beam representing death.
"Quick, we need to get out of the car."
As the old train commander spoke, he yanked open the hatch.
They tried to ambush the enemy with anti-aircraft missiles, but little did they know that the enemy also had air-to-ground missiles. Vasily and his men died a terrible death!
Staggering out of the vehicle, the old driver kept his head down and randomly chose a direction to run off in, his speed no slower than the young man beside him.
"Whoosh~~"
A second AGM-65E missile hurtled through the sky, leaving a trail of flames.
"Boom!"
In the flames of the explosion, thousands of 23mm machine gun bullets turned into stray bullets, flying erratically in all directions.
"Lie down~~"
The old train commander, who had run several dozen meters, grabbed the nearest Dmitry and tackled him to the ground. The two, who were deaf, could not hear the shrapnel flying overhead, but they could see several slow-moving black men, as well as those who had no reaction at all, being ruthlessly taken down.
There's a reason why veterans survive: they know better how to fight with their brains. It's just that the technological gap in weaponry meant that the enemy could take them out from beyond range, leaving their heroes with no opportunity to prove themselves.
Xia Yu and Hans in the sky did not see this scene; they only saw the second calf successfully hit the target and take down the second Shilka River vehicle.
It's uncertain whether there's a third one, but the F-4K has already cleared its racks, so they have to return.
"Phew, that was exciting, boss! This was so exciting today!"
Once out of combat mode, Hans finally relaxed completely, slumped in his chair, and realized he was soaked in sweat.
Flying a fighter jet is far from easy, even if you're just a weapons officer in the back seat.
"That's exciting! Sasu actually bought anti-aircraft missiles. Looks like he made a lot of money mining!"
Sasu, who was being nagged by Xia Yu, stood in front of the remains of the Shilka River, his emotions completely broken.
He roared and pulled out his gold-plated PPK, emptying the magazine with a series of "bang bang bang" shots at the departing ghost.
Unfortunately, even two anti-aircraft missiles fired simultaneously couldn't take down the enemy, let alone the 9mm P-800 missiles. At this moment, Sasu could only rage in vain.
The air defense system, which cost millions, was destroyed by Xia Yu in one fell swoop. It was unrealistic to replace it. All he could do next was take another bombing.
The rainforest environment is his only remaining advantage; otherwise, his newly purchased tanks and infantry fighting vehicles would have been targeted from the air, let alone used to deal with Busa's ground forces.
"Bray, start laying the line tomorrow. I'll make sure none of them leave alive!"
"Sasu said fiercely."
Minefields are the most effective means. Concentrated fire defense is not a charity. He wants to see how much budget Busa has to spend on bombing.
Indeed, it wasn't much. After receiving the edited combat video from Xia Yu, Busa settled the contract payment for this time.
It was less than expected, only $5 million in total. Precision strikes are indeed expensive, but the results are undeniable.
Level the cannon muzzle?
I've already set up the cannons for you, let's see how you bombard my observation and aiming.
Xia Yu has a system that can repair equipment. If the equipment on Xiao An's truck breaks down, you can only pay Xia Yu to replace it, and even if the price is discounted, it won't be cheap. It's better to spend money to nip the danger in the bud.
After the bombing operation ended, the Kuhn crew and the guidance team returned to Konluga, while the support team led by 01 remained in Panaka, waiting for the rest of the team to arrive at the front line a week later.
Despite the impending battle, the atmosphere in Bogo Village was surprisingly relaxed. Everyone crowded into the back room of the bar, watching how Kuhn turned malt into beer.
He got up early to add water to the crushed malt to saccharify it, and then filtered it to obtain clear wort.
The mixture was being heated and boiled. Kuhn, holding a small notebook to record key points, precisely poured in the dried hops and yeast in batches.
Old Yu from the kitchen rushed over to join in the fun, after all, it's a completely different field for him, and brewing beer was something he'd never seen before.
Of course, his pickling of kimchi and pickled radishes also generated a lot of buzz; everyone loved watching that.
Watching Kuhn's skillful maneuvering, Xia Yu felt there shouldn't be any problems, until a phone call interrupted his observation.
It was a call from the port; he had another "delivery" arrive.
Actually, you can still enjoy shopping in Afica, it's just that starting with a shipping container can be a bit daunting.
Two shipments arrived from Xia Yu this time, both originating from East Asia, but from different ports.
The shipping was indeed slow, but it still arrived before departure.
Using a twin-trailer military trailer, the two containers were pulled back to the garage. Xia Yu opened the lighter container first.
Half-person-high cardboard boxes filled the entire container. He casually picked one out, opened it, and found his custom-made lightning protection seat inside.
The seat frame, which fits perfectly into the weasel's cabin, integrates adjustable headrests, folding footrests, seat energy absorbers, and five-point safety harnesses used in child seats.
Indeed, lightning protection seats are much like large-sized "child seats," providing occupants with the highest level of protection.
This container has 30 lightning protection seats in total. The extra ones are backups; if it gets bombed, it's better to just replace them with new ones than to repair them.
Xia Yu stuffed the disassembled item back into the cardboard box and then closed the cabinet door.
We'll take it back later and let Anton and the others study it and install it. The system can do this job too, but he has more important things to do that require the modification module.
Xia Yu stepped forward and opened the second container, which was also packed full.
A corner of the hydraulically operated plowshare was visible, giving the impression at first glance that it was a container of agricultural supplies, which was indeed how it was declared to customs.
However, this was not agricultural supplies at all; it was clearly a set of wheel-track mine-clearing plows.
Xia Yu's original idea was to improve the mine-resistant performance of the tanks, with mine clearance mainly relying on military dogs and mine-clearing devices.
Little did he know that when he told the staff back home, he was immediately looked down upon.
Yes, what era are we living in?
People say that someone like him, who does business outside, needs more efficient methods, and that machines are always more efficient than manual labor.
He was also fortunate that a new wheeled mine-clearing platform was being developed, and the wheeled chassis did not have to be the same. The working modules to be integrated in the project plan had another opportunity to be tested in actual combat.
Xia Yu walked to the corner of the warehouse and tore down the tarpaulin of a BTR-80.
He bought 20 of these vehicles from Xunke at once. Apart from the 13 delivered to the Anka mechanized infantry battalion, he modified one of the remaining ones into a BTR-82S and left the others as is in the warehouse. This time, they finally came in handy.
After storing the BTR-80 in front of him into the system, Xia Yu returned to the container and put the hydraulically driven track-clearing mine plow into the modification module.
It is used in conjunction with a depth control device, which can control the depth of the mine-clearing plow so that it can change with the terrain.
There are two mine-clearing plows in total. If one is destroyed, it can be replaced directly. The spare plow was moved out with a forklift, and two large "fly swatters" were exposed in the middle of the container.
According to them, this is a high-powered microwave mine sweeper, which, when activated, can interfere with the electronic fuse of a landmine, causing it to detonate or become ineffective.
Having never used such high technology before, Xia Yu waved his hand and put it into the modification module as well.
Compared to the previous two mine-clearing methods that combined technology and mechanics, the last method, rocket-propelled mine-clearing devices, is rather violent.
By using a rocket to tow a long-distance blasting zone to detonate in the minefield, the landmines are detonated directly at the physical level, creating a safety passage hundreds of meters long.
Yes, art is an explosion, and that's exactly the effect Xia Yu wanted.
Slots were cut into the rear section cover of the BTR-80 to allow space to accommodate two rocket-propelled mine-clearing devices.
This disposable box-type mine sweeper is equipped with 16 units, and its weight exceeds 10 tons.
A single blasting strip weighs 670 kilograms and is full of passivated RDX, which explains why the weight of the container was directly limited to the upper limit.
Of course, this is vehicle-mounted; there are also about 20 individual lightweight rocket detonators on the back.
This single-item weapon weighs only 15.5 kilograms and can be used to detonate 40 meters, making it suitable for use by Anton and his men when they dismount to fight.
Xia Yu took the two vehicle-mounted versions and then closed the container door.
After jumping out of the trailer and returning to the driver's cab, I finally had time to turn on the system.
[Vehicle discovered x1, 6 usable modification parts, can be modified]
In addition to the three major combat modules, customized electrical control systems and hydraulic control systems were also put into modification.
"Modify!"
Xia Yu selected "Confirm," and a progress bar appeared in the system.
Estimated remaining modification time: 31.7 hours
Compared to the tonnage of the BTR-80, the amount of work involved in the modification is quite large, given the long construction time!
This is just a test vehicle; digital command, positioning system, and friend-or-foe identification functions have all been removed.
Small companies with only three or four vehicles don't need these things.
Xia Yu drove the double-trailer military vehicle back to the village. It was already dark when Kuhn finished filling the wort into the fermentation tank and sealing it for fermentation.
All we can do now is wait, wait for the fermentation to end, and wait for them to return after fulfilling their contract.
"We've got a job. Meet at the parking lot. We have to finish this job tonight and tomorrow."
Xia Yu turned on the radio and immediately called for reinforcements. These guys had just finished dinner and were free, so he grabbed them all to work.
It doesn't involve complicated modifications or module integration; simply changing a seat or something similar according to the instructions isn't difficult for most people.
However, if you can avoid being bombed, then try to avoid stepping on landmines.
The lightning protection seats saved them from the harm of flying like crows, but the experience was still unpleasant.
"Boss, what's in this box over there?"
Kuhn, who had been granted special permission by Xia Yu not to work because of his involvement in brewing, walked over and pointed to another container, asking a question.
"The equipment we'll be using in our new vehicle, and the stuff our team will be using during operations."
The new car Xia Yu mentioned successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Their company has so many cars but only two fleets. If they bring in another new car, won't they be able to handle it all?
There are never too many non-combat vehicles; firepower is only one part of the battlefield.
The Anka mechanized infantry battalion did a very poor job in this regard; their entire budget was used to buy combat vehicles, and they didn't have a single proper armored recovery vehicle.
There is no concentrated fire defense, but the vehicles of concentrated fire defense are never broken down.
"Alright, alright, the new vehicle is a wheeled armored mine-clearing vehicle. Without it, this operation will be very difficult for us."
To show that he wasn't a spendthrift boss, Xia Yu quickly explained.
"So that's how it is," everyone finally understood.
The boss has made a lot of preparations this time; they should be quite well-funded for this operation.
"The vehicle will be delivered the day after tomorrow. We will have enough time to familiarize ourselves with it before we set off. If both of our crews have combat missions, 06, you will be in charge of filling in."
"yes!"
Xia Yu found a driver for the GpZ-80 (modified name) which was still under modification.
This vehicle doesn't require driving for combat; it demands more precise handling.
"Anton and Sergei will also serve as artillerymen. If we need to get off the vehicle to clear a passage through the minefield, the task will be assigned to your group 2."
Taking this opportunity, Xia Yu began to assign combat tasks.
In addition to two combat vehicles and one auxiliary vehicle, they also need to bring artillery, as well as their Sparrowhawk A rifles.
Drones + Large-caliber howitzers = Basic Precision Strike
There may be errors in actual operation, but these can be compensated for by sheer numbers, which is something precision weapons cannot match.
Guided artillery shells do exist, but they aren't much cheaper than missiles, and Xia Yu wouldn't consider the 155mm caliber.
"yes!"
Putting down his work, Anton answered loudly.
Safely traversing a minefield is also a training subject for special forces, not to mention that there are now even more efficient ways to get through.
Xia Yu called Andrei, Kuhn, and Anton together for a short meeting to discuss how much supplies and equipment they should bring on their long-distance mission.
Meanwhile, Sasu, licking his wounds, finally received the equipment.
One battalion of T-72M1s, and another mixed battalion of BMP-1s and BMP-2s.
Of the 10 tanks delivered, Alexei generously donated four sets of expired Kontakt 1 reactive armor.
Even just hanging something on the vehicle body is better than leaving it bare. The same goes for the infantry battalion consisting of 2 BMP-1 and 3 BMP-2 vehicles. It's rare to see 9M113 competition anti-tank missiles mounted on both types of infantry fighting vehicles.
The BMP-1 doesn't have this feature, but the Alexei modified it. Offering modification services is its specialty. The old racing version can only be used against infantry fighting vehicles with concentrated fire defenses, as the rebels in Bomatou have already proven.
The arrival of these 15 armored vehicles gave Sasu some confidence.
Trading one for one is a pipe dream, but what about trading 15 for 5?
Sasu planned to exchange two battalions for one arm of the Anka mechanized infantry battalion, and then use a minefield and a sneak attack to remove its other arm.
If they become "disabled," then they are no longer an elite force.
Summarizing the lessons learned from Bomatou and Panaka, Sasu discovered that their heavy losses were actually caused by concentrated fire on defenses, and that the seemingly strong and well-equipped Anka mechanized infantry battalion had not achieved much.
By picking on the weak and avoiding direct confrontation, they can drag Busa into a protracted war.
After the instructors, trainees, and veteran crews received the equipment, Sasu immediately ordered anti-tank mines to be laid on the border as well.
