I, the super rich crown prince, will build the richest country

Just as the New Han Army landed in large numbers in the delta area of ​​the Batanghari River.

The airport on the outskirts of Palembang was also facing fierce fighting.

A large number of reinforcements from the Javanese army fired wildly at the airport.

"Swish!"

"Swish, swish!"

Mortars fired shells one after another, attacking the terminal building defended by a company of the Air Assault Brigade.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The explosions continued one after another.

"Company commander, this won't work. We must destroy the enemy's artillery positions. Otherwise, it will be too disadvantageous to be bombed like this. I think we should call for drones to provide fire support."

The wheeled equipment of the Air Assault Brigade has not yet been delivered. The mortars carried by individual soldiers are all small-caliber with limited range. As for rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles, their range cannot reach the enemy's large-caliber mortars.

"Boom!"

Another mortar shell exploded, and the building was covered in dust.

"Contact the headquarters immediately and request fire support."

"Yes!"

"By the way, what is the situation inside the airport?"

"It is not optimistic. The enemy seems to be crazy and has crossed the barbed wire and advanced forward."

"Fortunately, we are carrying a large number of anti-tank missiles and rockets."

The company commander nodded.

He looked very solemn.

The airport is too big and there is no wall to block it. There is only barbed wire, which usually prevents civilians from entering. Now that the war has started, it naturally cannot stop the army.

More than 400 people are deployed on an airport with an area of ​​up to 1.85 square kilometers.

It is indeed not a simple matter to ensure that the airport runway is not destroyed.

Fortunately, there are drainage ditches around this airport, so there is no need to dig trenches.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to stop them, after all, the number of people is several times smaller.

They also have heavy weapons such as light tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. Although they are old and outdated, they are still called tanks and armored vehicles.

"Charge, charge forward."

A battalion commander in Java yelled for the armored vehicles to clear the way in front and conduct coordinated infantry and tank operations.

The next second, with a "boom", an FV101 light tank was hit by a rocket. Instantly, flames burst out, and the tank stalled, emitting a puff of black smoke.

This kind of fragile tank can be penetrated even if it is more than 100 meters away.

The armor protection capability of this tank is similar to that of a small iron tank in daily life, and it basically has no protection capability.

What kind of protection capability do you think a tank with a total weight of only 8 tons has?

After destroying the FV101 light tank, he immediately hid in the trench. The next second, he saw the place where he was just now was blown up into dust.

The two sides fought fiercely. The Javanese army relied on armored vehicles and tanks to continue advancing. The air assault brigade soldiers who lacked heavy weapons and equipment could only rely on individual weapons to slow down the enemy's attack.

"What's going on."

"Why hasn't the air support arrived yet?"

After killing a Javanese soldier and rolling to avoid the incoming bullets, a platoon leader asked hysterically.

The signalman also looked aggrieved, and he had called for fighter support.

Just then, five "Outlook" reconnaissance and strike drones appeared in the sky.

"Swish!"

"Swish, swish!"

After locking onto the Javanese armor and rear artillery, air-to-ground missiles and anti-tank missiles fell from the launcher and flew towards the target.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, explosions sounded in the direction of the Javanese army, and it was a series of explosions.

"Fuck! It's finally here."

Seeing the drones in the sky, the platoon leader sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Platoon leader, those guys are retreating."

"Bullshit, how can they not retreat?"

The platoon leader climbed up and lay in the trench looking at the Javanese army in front of him. As expected, after being attacked by more than 10 missiles, they abandoned more than 10 armored vehicles and retreated in a panic.

"Platoon leader, do you think they will come?"

"What do you think?"

"I think they should come. After all, we have captured the airport. As long as they are not fools, they should understand our strategic intentions."

"That's good to know. Hold on a little longer. The second wave of reinforcements should be here soon. Let the brothers save ammunition. What we need to do now is to defend this area and delay time, not to kill people."

"Yes!"

"Waste!"

"What do you do for a living?"

"We have attacked twice and were repelled."

In a building near the airport, a temporary command post was set up by the Javanese troops besieging the airport. The person in charge was a lieutenant colonel staff officer of the military region.

At this time, the lieutenant colonel staff officer named Zayed was furious. He slammed the table and angrily scolded the commander of the 4th Battalion who was counterattacking the airport.

"Lieutenant Colonel Zayed, it's not that we don't attack, but whenever we advance to the front, we are attacked by enemy drones and fighter jets."

"Yes, just these two attacks, my battalion has injured more than 100 people and killed more than 40 people."

"If you ask me, our goal is to prevent them from deploying troops through the airport. We don't need to attack at all. We can just concentrate all our artillery fire and attack the runway. Why do we have to recapture the airport?"

"Du Long is right, Lieutenant Colonel Zayed, I think we can destroy the runway first, cut off their transport planes from landing, and then find a way to annihilate this group of people."

Zayed looked very unhappy, but he also knew that this was the only way for the current situation.

Originally, they thought they could recapture the airport with 3 battalions + 1 airport garrison battalion, more than 1,400 people, but...

"Pass my order, all battalions' artillery will be changed to attack the runway."

"Yes!"

After changing the tactics, the Javanese army slowed down the attack.

No more strong attacks.

Instead, they used their own artillery advantages to frantically use mortars to attack, and at the same time sought support from the military district artillery battalion.

Faced with a sudden large number of artillery shells, the soldiers of the air assault brigade at the airport could only watch the runway being blown up.

The airport runway is so long, and they fired hundreds of artillery shells. If the US military came, there would be no way to intercept it, unless there was an anti-aircraft vehicle with artillery shells, but the key is that there is none.

"Boom!" (To read the violent novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Boom!"

After a fierce bombardment, the airport runway was already full of potholes. Even if it was repaired urgently, it would be impossible without a day or two.

In the direction of the terminal, seeing the bumpy airport runway, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the Air Assault Brigade looked very ugly.

"Report to the headquarters immediately and say that the airport was hit by saturation fire from the enemy and the transport plane cannot land."

"Also ask when the follow-up support will be in place."

"Yes!" A subordinate beside him responded.

After receiving the message from the 1st Battalion, the Air Assault Brigade Command on Lingga Island decisively canceled the plan for the transport plane to land in Palembang and ordered the transport plane to return.

Instead, it urged the armed helicopter and transport helicopter formation to increase the force delivery to Palembang City.

The transport plane could not land, but the helicopter was definitely okay.

When the fierce battle lasted until seven o'clock, the second wave of more than 400 remaining troops of the 1st Battalion all arrived at the airport.

Although there was a lack of heavy weapons, with the addition of these more than 400 fresh troops, the pressure on the airport defense was greatly reduced.

In addition to the soldiers of the assault brigade, the third batch of helicopters transported dozens of engineers from the engineering repair battalion.

By 8:30, four batches of 1,500 combat soldiers and hundreds of engineers were transported to and from Palembang Airport by helicopter.

In order to expand the security of the airport, the 1,500 soldiers at the airport moved the battle line outward. []

In the ongoing street fighting, relying on the God's perspective of the drone, it was almost a crushing situation, and the four battalion-level combat units in Java responsible for capturing the airport were quickly defeated.

At the same time, a large number of new Han army troops were also gathered in the river valley delta area in the direction of the Batanghari River.

Combat personnel and equipment were delivered by dock landing ships, C130J Hercules transport aircraft and transport helicopters.

After assembling a heavy composite battalion, two medium composite battalions and three light composite battalions, a temporary combat composite brigade was quickly formed, and it went straight to Jambi City along the Batanghari River.

At the Dolila River, they encountered an ambush.

The Javanese army blew up the bridge and blocked the way along the river.

Although the river is not wide, the water is turbulent.

It is necessary to have a pontoon bridge unit to build a temporary floating bridge.

Fortunately, this problem was thought of before the war, and 100 pontoon bridge vehicles were imported from Longguo and delivered.30 vehicles.

Since the maximum load capacity of the C-130J transport aircraft is only more than 20 tons, and the pontoon bridge vehicle is more than 30 tons, the unfolded version can only be disassembled for transportation. In this case, it took more than an hour to transport the pontoon bridge vehicle to the front line.

After learning that the pontoon bridge vehicle was in place.

Immediately ordered to bombard the defenders on the other side.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

More than 20 "Vulcan" wheeled and tracked rocket launchers fired hundreds of rockets, plus the attack of 155mm self-propelled howitzers, the artillery attack instantly defeated the Javanese army on the other side, and the picture was quickly sent back through the drone perspective. The three Javanese infantry battalions defending here quickly retreated.

Planning to retreat to the city.

Just on the open plain, even if there are rubber trees and other vegetation blocking, it has become a live target for armed helicopters.

The machine guns of more than 10 "Zhongming Bird" armed helicopters and "Apache" armed helicopters kept firing.

The bullets hit the ground and left a huge crater.

After being swept by the machine guns, their bodies were broken into two halves.

"Swish!"

"Swish, swish."

Rockets were fired from the launch racks of armed helicopters.

"Boom!"

Destroy the Javanese soldiers and armored vehicles fleeing on the ground.

Some Javanese soldiers wanted to use the machine guns on the armored vehicles to sweep, but they were hit by a rocket before they could sweep.

"Boom!"

The violent explosion injured some infantrymen who could not dodge in time.

At the back, the infantry simply dispersed and no longer followed the wheeled armored vehicles, because they also found that the armored vehicles had become the enemy's key targets.

So, the three Javanese infantry battalions responsible for blocking the enemy had already been killed or wounded before they returned to Jambi City, more than 30 kilometers away. On the road, abandoned, blown up, and burning wheeled armored assault vehicles and wheeled armored transport vehicles could be seen everywhere. As for the towed artillery, it was blown into scrap metal by the shelling.

Although Java was equipped with hundreds of towed artillery, they were all old-fashioned, from the 1960s and 1970s, with a range of mostly within 10 kilometers. The only advanced one was the BM-27 rocket launcher of the Soviet era, which had a range of 40 kilometers.

Not to mention the large error, for a small country, after a round of salvos, there would be no ammunition.

After all, a rocket with a long range costs several thousand dollars for a cheap one, and tens of thousands of dollars for a more expensive one with precision guidance.

To form a large strike range, at least seven or eight vehicles or twenty or thirty vehicles are required.

A round of salvos costs at least two or three million dollars.

If it is precision-guided, it will cost tens of millions of dollars.

For a poor country like Java, it would never use it unless it is in a critical moment. Moreover, Shinhan has a large number of drones. Even if it fires once, it can be locked immediately and then attacked from the air.

AlsoOnly a country with strong financial resources like Xinhan can afford to fight.

Why do some wars become "Second World War", isn't it because wars are too expensive?
