5 kilometers south end of Soyangsan Mountain (Limenmin) in Namgang-do, Bukmanju (5th border university headquarters)

Boom!

The operator scoffed as he punched the console with his fist and looked at the monitor, whose signal had been cut off, to see if his Haetae robot was broken.

"Oh, come on! I had to catch him…"

The dissatisfied operator, who had nothing else to do, rose from his seat and shifted his gaze to another operator's monitor.

The 5th Guards Battalion, which had been defending against one armored division and one motorized infantry division with about 60 Haetae unmanned robots for one and a half hours, was approaching their defensive limit.

The ambush and topographical advantage caused significant damage early in the battle and prevented Russian tanks from passing on the farmland road. The formidable attacks of the T-14B Armata tank, which secured an open angle from the rear, and the low number of Haetae unmanned robots from the 5th Guard Battalion, however, made the battle unfavorable for the Haetae robots.

Despite the strong shielding magnetic field, the continuous attack quickly consumed the plasma energy of the large-capacity storage battery. This led to the increase of attacks on unmanned Haetae robots.

Cooan! Cooan! Bang! Cooan!

One of the unmanned Haetae robots exploded and fell to the ground, after being hit by a series of railgun metal bullets that were flying in succession.

Keying! Kuang!

Despite collapsing, the Haetae unmanned robot fired a 12-millimeter laser Vulcan beam at the target until it collapsed.

jjujjujjuung ~ jjujjujjuung ~

The laser beam struck a T-14B Armata tank that was firing a railgun while performing an evasive maneuver 4 kilometers away, causing a series of large and small explosions in the unmanned turret.

The collapsed Haetae unmanned robot eventually fired the last remaining S-LLAM 40 black dragon missile.

Phuong! Shoure!

The black dragon missile, which soared into the sky emitting a blue light, soon lowered its altitude and collided with the top of the Armata unmanned turret.

Quang! Quang!

The Armata tank's entire unmanned turret railgun fell off and was thrown into the distance after being hit by the powerful black dragon missile. Even though it continued to perform evasive maneuvers, the scene of its progress was visible on the operator's monitor screen.

Whiing!

Several reconnaissance kosar drones from the 81st SS Panzer Division quietly flew at a height of 6 kilometers above the battalion headquarters and operating console armored vehicle.

The anti-aircraft would have been able to easily detect the aircraft flying at a height of about 6 kilometers, but currently, all of the C-30 Biho A3s in the anti-aircraft platoon were in a frenzy intercepting the numerous shells falling on the Haetae unmanned robot.

After a while, a sound from the sky was heard, followed by a series of shells falling on the area where the battalion headquarters and the operating console armored vehicles were gathered.

Kwang! Kwang!

Despite the special camouflage, it appeared that the Kosar drone had scouted the battalion's main base.

The 12-millimeter laser Vulcan mounted on the top of the console operating the armored vehicle, automatically rotated and started intercepting the falling shells.

A total of 18 laser beams spread in all directions toward the sky. However, the number of the falling shells were a lot more than expected.

Eventually, a shell hit the top of the operating console armored car and exploded.

Kwang!

The 2S35 Koalichya-SV self-propelled artillery's 152-millimeter high bomb power was significant. The top of the 12-meter long console-operating armored car was ripped apart, and a huge flame erupted.

Euaaaaa!

Several screams came from the armored vehicle, and after a while, the rear hatch door opened. Crew members who were covered with white powder ran out screaming.

Fortunately, the top of the vehicle was double-armored, and the interior of the car was not damaged. However, the fire suppression system was activated.

Completely startled, the crew instinctively opened the hatch door and came out.

"Hey, you punks! Come inside!"

The commander of the platoon, who only showed his face through the hatch to the crew members struggling outside, shouted.

Outside, it felt like hell. The sky and earth trembled as a series of explosions erupted from all directions, as black smoke and pillars of fire rose.

The crew, who finally came to their senses at the platoon commander's order, wiped their faces and ran back into the operating-console armored car.

The damage status was reported to the battalion command armored vehicle immediately.

"Captain! This could lead to casualties."

Major Na Sang-gil, the operation manager who had requested a retreat order a long time ago, pleaded with the battalion commander once more.

Lieutenant Colonel Oh Pil-seung, who was silently watching the monitors, nodded and quietly spoke.

"Did you find out where the 20th Division is located?"

"Yes, I got a call five minutes ago saying it's 42 kilometers away."

"42 kilometers! Still not enough."

"Captain!"

"Okay, okay! The battalion is retreating."

Upon receiving the order of the battalion commander, Major Na Sang-gil immediately connected to the battalion communication network and issued the order to retreat.

As a result, the 5th Border Battalion, which was struggling, immediately retreated. However, their retreat was not very easy.

Shells continued to fall from the sky, and various anti-tank guided bullets and rail gun metal bullets were also poured out from tanks and armored vehicles of the 81st SS Panzer Division.

It was an urgent situation, and they would have been killed while trying to retreat.

A Haetae unmanned robot that had folded its four legs and switched to rapid maneuver mode was hit by several flying metal bullets. It had exploded and was destroyed beyond recognition.

Currently, eight C-1000 Haetae maneuverable unmanned robots were on the verge of destruction. However, fighting against the two armored divisions for an hour and a half had been a great accomplishment.

The surviving Haetae unmanned robots and various armored vehicles started moving in the opposite direction of the mountain ridge. However, in the sky, various shells were aimed at the 5th Guard Battalion without any sign that it would ease up.

At that moment, a strange echo was heard from the other side of the sky. It passed the 5th Guards Battalion, and in an instant, a series of explosions sounded over the 81st SS Panzer Division.

Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!

It was a 300-millimeter plasma diffused bomb fired from the K271 Thunder, the MRLS of the 20th Armored Division's subordinate artillery brigade.

More than a hundred 300-millimeter plasma-diffused bombs struck the 81st SS Panzer Division as well as artillery units that were mercilessly firing against the 5th Border Battalion from the rear.

The Russian artillery unit stopped firing for a while due to the sudden attack of the Korean artillery unit, and the 5th Guards Battalion retreated at full speed in order not to miss this chance.

About 30 various armored vehicles and surviving Haetae unmanned robots rushed down both mountain ridges and moved toward the northeastern snowfield. On the contrary, the 20th Armored Division (confrontation), the most powerful unit in Northeast Asia, was moving at top speed in the field, equipped with over 500 different tanks and armored vehicles.

The 5th Armored Division (Key) Defense Line, 123km south of Gangjin (Hurun Bayel), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

On the 90-kilometer-long snowfield upstream of the Min River, the 5th Armored Division (key) was in a fierce battle with the 11th Panzer Division, the leading unit of the 29th Army.

As a vanguard unit, the 11th Panzer Division, recognised as Russia's next-generation weapon, made a major detour and rushed into the upper reaches of the Min River.

Accordingly, among the three armored brigades of the 5th Armored Division (key), the 27th Armored Brigades, which operate the C-3 white tiger tank, were encountered first and entered a brutal battle.

Before reunification, the GOP border unit, the 5th Infantry Division (Key), was reorganized into an Armored Division in accordance with the plan to expand armored power after unification. The C-2 black tiger tank was used in the early days of the reorganization before being gradually replaced by the latest C-3 white tiger tank. As a result, the 27 armored brigades were currently operating the most recent tank, the C-3 white tiger tank, while the remaining 35 armored brigades and 36 mechanized infantry brigades are operating the C-2A1 black tiger tank.

By the end of 2024, the 5th Armored Division (key) has plans to convert all tanks to C-3 white tiger tanks.

Metal bullets from the 16MJ rail gun, which is eight times the speed of sound, rained onto the C-3 white tiger tank.

The T-14B Armata tanks, which have a similar effective range to the C-3 white tiger tanks, fired at the fastest speed possible in the open field due to their numerical advantage.

However, the rail gun metal bullets that were flying from a distance of 10 kilometers were unable to accurately hit the C-3 white tiger tank. This might have been due to the powerful SECM (wave disturbance system). On the contrary, the C-3 white tiger tank's 100-millimeter photon particles ruthlessly blew up the unmanned turrets of the T-14B Armata tank.

No matter how strong the titanium double armor, reactive armor, and active defense devices were, they were useless in the face of the photon cannon.

Even Afganit (Russian: Афгни), an active defense device capable of intercepting not only anti-tank guided bullets but also various tank bombs, was rendered ineffective in the face of photon particles traveling at speeds comparable to the speed of light.

In addition, the photons' formidable destructive power extinguished the reactive armor, and the titanium double armor was as easily pierced as a piece of paper. As a result, the T-14B Armata's entire unmanned railgun turret was blown away, leaving behind a large hole.

The 11th Armored Division tanks, which faced Korea's latest tank for the first time, tried to escape from the aiming point of photon guns by performing evasive maneuvers in unison.

However, due to the incredible performance of the automated fire control system in the C-3 white tiger tank, which rotates the turret according to the target sequence when a large number of targets are set, Russia's latest tanks, the T-14B Armata tanks, were blown up one by one.

However, this did not imply that the 11th Armored Division was pushed back unilaterally as the striking power of nearly 300 T-14B Armata tanks was significant.

As photons were fired from the C-3 white tiger tank, several rail gun metal bullets were fired from the other side. It was similar to the CCP's tactics during the Korean War.

As a result, despite the deployment of a powerful SECM (wave disturbance system), C-3 white tiger tanks were occasionally hit by rail gun metal bullets. It may not have been destroyed, but there was no doubt, damage to the optical equipment.

In addition to the 11th Armored Division, the 39th Motorized Infantry Division was pushing in from above, and the 200th Artillery Brigade, 338 Multiple Rocket Brigade, 49 Machine Gun Artillery Regiment, and 46 Machine Gun Artillery Regiment launched a full-scale shelling from the rear.

In addition, the 29th Army's Independent Corps, organized the 27th Panzer Division, the 55th Motorized Infantry Division, and the 56th Motorized Infantry Division, and made a major detour to the bottom of the Mongolian territory. They were maneuvering while aiming at the left side of the 5th Panzer Division.

Finally, the three divisions belonging to the Red Panzer Corps, the strongest direct control unit in the Eastern Military District, which the Republic of Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff has not yet identified, also started full-fledged maneuvers.

In other words, if the support of the 7th Mobile Corps' 30th Mechanized Infantry Division (Pilseung) was delayed, the 5th Panzer Division (the key) could face a dangerous situation in which it would face eight divisions, the majority of which were recognized as armored forces.
