Chapter 402: Season 2 – Part 16 The Second Northeast Asian War! – 3-4 Difficult!

Bukpyeong (Hongchikun) City, Bukgang Province, North Manchuria, five km north of the city. An hour ago, the 100th Guards Battalion, which had won a fierce battle with the 234 Motorized Infantry Regiment, immediately started retreating in the southwest direction according to the orders of the senior units.This was because immediately after the destruction of the 234 Motorized Infantry Regiment, the remaining subordinate units of the 57th Motorized Infantry Division, the 233 Motorized Infantry Regiment and the 12th Tank Regiment, appeared from the front. The 100 Guard Battalion was not strong enough to face the above two units again with only the C-1000 Haitai robots and about 10 armored vehicles. And since the 33rd Armored Brigade of the 82nd Panzer Division (Balhae), which was urgently maneuvered from the Jangbuk garrison, arrived at the northern tip of Bukpyeong, the superior units immediately ordered the retreat for the safety of the 100th Watch Battalion. The 100th Guards Battalion suffered a loss of power as 13 Haitai robots and four Hyunmoo mobile combat vehicles were hit, but it was a great achievement for the Guard Mission Special Forces to defeat the regiment-level mechanized units with a newly designed battalion defense tactic. The soldiers of the 100th Guards Battalion were on the way to retreat, but they were victorious, not defeated.
Curl rumble! Puff! Whoops! Whoops! Kuang! Bang! Quang!
The vast snowfield that stretched for tens of kilometers in all directions has now become muddy with numerous caterpillar tracks. Like an angry bison running around, 300 tanks and armored vehicles fired various tank guns and anti-tank guided missiles at each other in a feast of death.The C-2A1 Black Tiger tanks of the 33rd Armored Brigade of the 82nd Panzer Division (Balhae), classified as four and half generation, fired plasma bombs at the three and half generation T-90AM tanks of the 12th Tank Regiment, which came like ants with excellent mobility.
However, the T-90AM tanks, which showed excellent performance in engagements with the 100th Guards Battalion, were not so easy.
It maneuvered fiercely as if numerically covering the disadvantages of the lack of protection and tank gun power, and fired a counter shot from a 125mm smoothbore cannon.
Whoops! Whoops! Puff! Cuckoo! Aww! Aww!
When one plasma bullet flew, five or six blade bullets were poured into the C-2A1 Black Tiger tank. Missiles that fired sub-munitions fell into the sky of the 33rd Armored Brigade in a devastating attack.
Worried about the immediate anti-artillery fire of the Korean artillery unit, the 20th Guards Rocket Brigade, which was waiting outside the range, not the general artillery unit, fired an Iskander-M missile.
Some Iskander-M missiles were intercepted by the Black Dragon missile, an anti-aircraft system of the C-2A1 Black Tiger tank, before launching submunitions, but they were not able to intercept 100% because they focused on engaging enemy tanks.
Hundreds of submunitions from several Iskander-M missiles were sprayed in the air and aimed at the top of the turret of the C-2A1 Black Tiger tank, which was in an evasive maneuver.
Quang! Aww! Quang! As if it were a fireworks festival, large and small fireworks occurred simultaneously in dozens of soccer fields. In an instant, a thick smoke of gunpowder swept the surrounding area.
<ul>
Tank No. 521 hit! No problem starting!
Tank 614 is attacked! Damaged gunner sight optics! Nothing more than a maneuver!- Tank 605 is attacked! Damage to the driver’s optical camera! Nothing more than a maneuver! – No. 511 Tank Blood, Hit! Damaged sight and SECM sensor! Nothing more than a maneuver!
</ul>
The 33rd Armored Brigade’s communication network continued to report attacks, but fortunately there were no reports of being completely shot except for damage to external optical equipment.
“Destroy the enemy’s power at once. There is no time! Another armored division and a motorized infantry division are coming in behind. Battalion commanders should not back down and break through!”
The command to break through was issued through the brigade network. If they engaged in battle at a distance, they would continue to be targeted by enemy artillery, so the command of the brigade commander was appropriate in judging the situation. However, it was possible because of the strong protective power of the C-2A1 Black Tiger tank and the reliable active destruction system.
The 33rd Armored Brigade C-2A1 Black Tiger tanks, which were attacked by a hellish enemy missile once, ran into the middle of the enemy formation with explosive engine sounds.
Without the strong protection and active destruction system of the C-2A1 Black Tiger tank, such an order would not have been possible.
The sixth Tank Battalion, third Platoon, and four Black Tiger Tanks entered the enemy’s formation, avoiding the bullets coming from all directions.
“Wow, who should I catch this from?”
Step 632 was in a happy thought as he looked at the panoramic microscope. Enemy tanks and armored vehicles swarmed everywhere.
Even with this thought, the hands of the Deputy Manager #632 had already assigned five targets according to the risk ranking.
Simultaneously with target assignment, the turret automatically turned towards target one. Wow!
“From the first target, Sergeant Kang shoots himself!”
The turret, which rotates smoothly and rapidly even during off-road maneuvers, accurately aimed the gunner’s aim at the flank of the T-90AM tank, which maneuvered in a diagonal line two km ahead.
“Fire target number one!”
At the same time as the commander’s command was issued, the gunner, Sgt. Kang Tae-won, pulled the fire button.
Kuang! Plasma bullets flew in a straight line with a heavy firing sound and were accurately pierced into the side turret of the T-90AM tank.
Quang! The T-90AM tank, which was shaken enough to flip sideways with a cool explosion sound, erupted in dark red flames and thick smoke billowed through them.
“The first target hit! Two targets.”
Simultaneously with the attack, the turret of Tank 632 turned toward target number two. The gunner’s aiming point was aimed at the bottom of the T-90AM tank going up a small hill 3200m ahead, and at the same time, another 120mm smoothbore gun fired fire.
Kuang! Peeing~ Aww! Bang!
The T-90AM tank, which was going up the hill and trying to go down again, had no luck even though it had reactive armor attached.
The tank 632, which cooked two enemy tanks in succession in less than 10 seconds, shook the inside of the tank 632 when the turret rotated toward the third target. Cuckoo! It was as if a blade bullet was fired from a T-90AM tank moving at three o’clock. “What, what! There were no dangerous tanks in that direction?”
The commander, who was tossed and turned for a moment by the strong shock, quickly turned his microscope to find the enemy tank that was just targeting his horse.
At 4,800m at three o’clock, it seemed that the train was moving along a small ridge that was long and could not be identified. “Sergeant Kang! Let’s catch that guy first than target number three! Set an urgent target!” “Yeah, just leave it to me.”
As the commander set an emergency target, the turret facing the 3rd target quickly rotated in the opposite direction and maneuvered, and the cross-shaped aiming point reached the center of the enemy tank’s turret, which was aimed only at the 632 gun barrel.
Whoops! Kuang!
Plasma bullets and blade bullets were fired at the same time.
Cheyene!~ The two tank shells that cut through the air flew in a straight line with the ground, crossed each other, and then landed on the targeted tank.
Bang! Quang! The blade and plasma bullets arrived at the same time, but the results were different. The blade bullet fired from the T-90AM tank was deceived this time by the powerful SECM (Radio Disruption System) and passed through the top of Tank 632.
Despite the presence of the double composite armor and reactive armor, the formidable plasma bomb undoubtedly blew up the turret of the T-90AM tank. The body of the T-90AM tank, from which the turret flew, slowly slowed down and then stopped moving.
“Defeat! Defeat. Sgt. Kang Tae-won cheered as he raised his right hand. “Hey! Sergeant Kang! If you survive today, like it and target it three times now!” “Ouch! All right.” * * * November 25, 2023 04:20,
B2 bunker, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Namju (Korea Armed Forces Joint Command and Control Center Situation Room).
Four hours after the outbreak of the war, the analysis of the main and rear air units of each Russian army was roughly confirmed around the border. The area where the fiercest battle is currently taking place is the snowfield in the northeastern part of Bukpyeong, where the 33rd Armored Brigade is fighting in place of the retreating 100th Guards Battalion. The 57th Motorized Infantry Division, the 59th Motorized Infantry Division, the 60th Motorized Infantry Division, and the 212th Panzer Division, the leading forces of the 5th Army, were rushing in. Considering the organization of the Korean army, it was larger than the corps level. Currently, the 33rd Armored Brigade effectively engaged the 57th Motorized Infantry Division according to the existing plan despite the disadvantage in numbers. However, if the remaining three divisions came together, the 33rd Armored Brigade’s power alone would not only be able to avoid hardship, but it could also lead to destruction. However, countermeasures for this have been prepared. Currently, the remaining subordinate units of the 82nd Panzer Division (Balhae), the 34th Panzer Division and the 35th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, were scheduled to join the battle soon after moving 20 km southwest of Bukpyeong. In addition, the 4 airborne strike divisions belonging to the 2nd Rapid Response Force Command were planning to conduct an airlift operation in the Khabarovsk area, disrupting the rear of the 5th Army’s main unit, as well as occupying major base cities and intercepting supply units. After that, it was planned to annihilate the 5th Army’s main characters at once by mobilizing all strategic weapons that had been waiting only for orders. Strategic-class weapons referred to here were fighter-bomber air strikes belonging to the Air Force and Aerospace Forces and various surface-to-surface missiles of the Strategic Missile Forces. In this way, not only the countermeasures against the 5th Army in the Eastern Military District of Russia, but also the countermeasures against the rest of the 35th and 36th Army were prepared, but the 29th Army was the problem. Although the 29th Army had already prepared countermeasures in advance, the existing countermeasures became useless as they detoured and invaded Mongolian territory that they had never expected. Accordingly, the Joint Chiefs of Staff hastily prepared a new countermeasure. As in the Chinese war in the last Northeast Asian War, as much as possible, the principle of engagement was not in one’s own territory, but in the territory of the other country. However, in the current situation, it became an inevitable situation as long as the 29th Army had to be engaged after dragging the 29th Army into the territory of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture to some extent.
As a result, evacuation orders were issued to all citizens of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture. Accordingly, on the roads connected to South and Central Manchuria, lines of evacuated citizens lined up. Some highways were controlled for the maneuvering of the ROK Army, but it was a big problem due to the reckless influx of refugees.
Due to this problem, the staff of the Operation Headquarters suggested that the Airborne Strike Division be deployed into Mongolian territory behind the 29th Army. However, in that case, Chairman Shin Sung-yong of the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not listen to the proposal on the grounds that a major revision of the response plan for the fifth Army would be inevitable. Instead, it was decided to urgently deploy the seventh Armored Division (Chilseong) of the 2nd Corps to face the 36th Army and the 30th Mechanized Infantry Division (Pilseung) of the 7th Mobile Corps, which will advance to Primorsky Krai in the future. In fact, the Joint Chiefs of Staff was even planning a plan to occupy the entire vast area of Russia’s Siberia through this war. He had not yet reported the plan to the president, and he was going to post a plan for a vacuum operation to Siberia when all the brunts of the Russian army were broken. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Shin Sung-yong, who is devising such a large-scale operation plan, he judged that it would be too much to revise the existing response plan for each military.
The current limit of the occupied Siberian territory that the Joint Chiefs of Staff thinks is from Lake Baikal to the lower reaches of the Anabar River. In other words, it was a huge area, accounting for one-third of the territory of Russia..
