Chapter 99: Book 4 Chapter 5-2 Expedition to North For Unification: Large Scale Armored Battle at Man-ju

October 31, 2020 16:55 (China Standard Time, 15:55)

A small village 39 km from Sun-Yang Province, China.

As the 1st Platoon bypassed the village, the eight Chinese tanks that were taking cover all pointed their cannons at them and fired.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

Woo~Woosh~

However, the White Tiger’s powerful active SECM jamming system disrupted the Chinese tanks’ aim, and the shells missed their target. The White Tiger tanks then retaliated by firing their photon cannons at the Chinese tanks.

Pew~ pew~ pew~ pew~

The photon rounds flew between the cannon rounds and pierced the front plates of the Chinese tanks, and when the photon particles expanded, an explosion tore off the tanks’ main turrets. The other three Chinese tanks, whose turrets weren’t blown off, were all engulfed in black and red flames, and showed no sign of movement.

“Good, target 2 is moving to the rear! Distance 1800, fire!”

After the 712 tank commander gave the order to fire, the photon cannon spat out flames and hit its target, which was trying to increase its distance between itself and the 712 tank by moving to the rear.

In less than a minute after they met the Korean tanks, the eight Chinese tanks that had taken cover were a grotesque heap of wreckage in the rice fields.

-This is the platoon commander from tank 711. We have defeated eight enemy tanks that had taken cover! Over!

-This is the company commander. 1st Platoon will continue its frontal breakthrough mission. Over!”

-Tank 721, understood. Over.

After successfully destroying the eight enemy tanks, the 1st Platoon continued to move toward the horde of Chinese tanks moving like locusts, when the Laser Warning Receiver, which detected laser-targeting of missiles, rang out.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beeeeep.

The location of the laser output was from the small village of twenty or so houses that they had just passed. Then, the urgent voice of the platoon commander from the 711 tank rang through the communication line.

-From the rear at 7 o’clock! Detecting anti-tank rounds! Deploy smoke bombs!

At the 1st Platoon Leader’s command, the four White Tiger tanks all deployed two multi-area wavelength smoke bombs, but the eight HJ-9C anti-tank missiles targeting the rear of the tanks all rose to the sky, spitting out white smoke, then fell toward the first platoon.

Boom! Click! Booom~ Bang! Boom!

The rear of the 714 White Tiger tank, which was closest to the village, caught fire, and the engine exploded. The 713 tank was also hit. Its cannon fell down, and the tank spewed black smoke and showed no further movement.

The 712 tank received a strong shock wave from the rear, but it didn’t suffer any damages. Sergeant First class Oh Young-taek bit his lower lip and turned his scope toward the source of the laser signal.

“We should have checked the villages first,” he said, but the regret came too late.

The platoon commander from the 711 tank urgently shouted on the platoon communication line again.

-Each tank commander, report on damages.

-Tank 712. In the clear. Firing back. Over.

-Tank 713. Unable to advance! Targeting mechanism damaged, cannon operator staff sergeant lightly injured, Over.

The report from the tank commander of 714 did not come in.

-Tank 714? Report your damages!

-D*mn! Please! Tank 714, answer me, d*mmit!

Despite the desperate call from the 711 tank’s platoon leader, no answer came from the 714 tank. The tank’s engine had been hit three times, and all three crew members aboard the 714 died in the explosion.

Before this battle, the Chinese 65th Army Group had figured out that the Korean tanks’ plating was stronger than expected, and they had set an ambush with anti-tank platoons. This tactic wasn’t suited for a large-scale armored battled, but it was working right now. The Chinese soldiers equipped with the latest HJ-9C anti-tank missiles left their launch position to find a new one.

Sergeant First Class Oh Young-take seemed to have lost his temper at the death of his comrades, because he shouted, “Those bastards. Yeom! Turn our tank toward the village! Staff Sergeant Kim, when we set a target, keep firing!”

“Yes, Commander!”

The 712 tank swiftly did a 180 degree turn from its position, then sped toward the village, its cannons spitting out photon rounds. The 711 tank maneuvered to cover the 712 tank’s rear and prepared to fight against the tanks coming from their front.

Pew~ Pew~ Pew~ Pew~

The photon cannon kept firing so as not to give the Chinese anti-tank platoon soldiers a chance to fire back, and the run-down houses in the village all collapsed or became engulfed in flames.

Pew~ pew~

Booboom~ Boom. Bang bang! Wooosh~

Tank commander of the 712 tank, Sergeant First Class Oh Young-taek, checked every corner of the village with his sight in both infrared and inverter mode while the tank moved toward the village.

Among the flaming houses, the Chinese soldiers, who were equipped with anti-tank rounds, showed up as moving red colors on the screen.

There were sixteen soldiers, eight teams in total.

“This means they’re all equipped with anti-tank rounds and are waiting to ambush us near the villages. This is going to be bothersome.” Sergeant First Class Oh Young-taek muttered to himself as he looked through his sight, then targeted the Chinese anti-tank platoon soldiers, who were moving covertly in teams of two.

Then, he gave Staff Sergeant Kim the order to fire. “11 o’clock, distance 2000. Fire targets 1, 2 and 3 in order!”

“Yes, sir.”

When two Chinese soldiers, who were crouching behind the wall, came into Staff Sergeant Kim’s aiming point, he fired the cannon.

Pew~ Boom!

The photon round flew in a straight line, pierced the wall, and exploded.

The anti-tank platoon soldiers melted and vaporized immediately, while the second photon round blew up the house with the Chinese soldiers inside.

While the turret was turning around to face its third target, one HJ-9C anti-tank missile flew toward them in a downward trajectory.

The HJ-9C anti-tank missile was a Fire And Forget missile that could be fired and left behind after launch, and it was able to use the TOP attack and FAF attack methods at the same time. This missile was an exact replica of the FGM-148 Javelin. After launch, the two anti-tank platoon soldiers started to run in the opposite direction.

Woosh.

The anti-tank missile rose into the sky, then flew down, aiming for the top of the 712 tank’s turret.

Boom!

Fortunately, the 712 tank’s powerful active SECM jamming system and evasive maneuvers caused the missile to fall next to the tank. Sergeant First Class Oh Young-taek used the remote control to aim the 12mm Vulcan laser beams at the fleeing Chinese soldiers, then pulled the trigger.

pew pew pew pew. pew pew pew pew.

The six-beamed Vulcan laser gun spun mercilessly, firing its beams along the path of the Chinese soldiers. The two soldiers were hit by the laser and were shredded into pieces by the powerful 12mm Vulcan beams. Blood splattered everywhere.

“I’m going to kill all these sons of b*tches!” Sergeant First Class Oh Young-taek shouted his rage, his face pressed up against the sight, then fired the 12mm laser Vulcan beam at any human shape without checking if they were civilians or soldiers.

October 31, 2020, 17:10 (China Standard Time, 16:10)

Mountain valley 18 km south of Raoyang Province, China.

Sixteen FAH-91SP Peregrine Falcon attack choppers took off from the 7th Mobile Corps headquarters encampment and were now flying low along the mountain valley. Their mission was to hit the command headquarters of the 65th Army Group.

The stealth-type Korean attack chopper, the Peregrine Falcon, began development in 2017 and went into production in late 2019. It was officially deployed to the field for army aviation forces in early 2020. Early development of the chopper started with combining the advantages of an attack chopper and a ground attack aircraft.

Therefore, it was equipped with radar capabilities, stealth technology, weaponry, and two plasma turbo engines with rotors that would fold up when the craft was moving at turbo speed, and it could reach a speed of Mach 1. This was a new concept attack chopper.

The sixteen FAH-91SP Peregrine Falcon attack choppers equipped with two K-PSB plasma cluster bombs and sixteen multi-purpose S-ALAM 60 Black Dragon missiles, which could strike both air and surface, flew through the mountain pass. When they did so, they all folded their rotors, thrust forward with their turbo engines to reach the speed of Mach 1, and flew toward the 65th Army Group’s command headquarters.

-Alpha! Alpha! 11,000 away from the target. We’ll now split and head to our allotted targets. Over.

-Bravo, Roger.

-Charlie, Roger.

-Delta, Roger.

Under the flight battalion commander’s orders, the sixteen Peregrine Falcon attack choppers split into four groups and headed in the direction of their targets.

Woooosh~

A few minutes later, the alpha team of the Peregrine Flight Wing passed through the Chinese army’s anti-air radar, but only after they had infiltrated the Chinese army’s headquarters did its anti-air forces fire HQ-6 surface-to-air missiles as a response. The Peregrine Falcon’s active powerful SECM jamming system allowed them to slip past the Chinese anti-air radar, and made it difficult for

the Chinese to target them.

The four Peregrine Falcon choppers from Team Alpha lowered their altitude and transitioned into rotor flight. They were the first to gift each of the anti-air radar bases the K-PSB cluster bomb before entering into battle.

-Alpha wing, engage offense. Over!

-Alpha 2, Roger.

-Alpha 3, Roger.

-Alpha 4, Roger.

The frightening K-PSB plasma cluster bombs devastated the Chinese anti-air radar base and rendered it useless. The alpha team then began their main attack against the Chinese army’s headquarters. The various subordinate forces, tanks, and armored vehicles in charge of defending the headquarters were annihilated by the S-ALAM 60 Black Dragon missiles.

Beep, beep, beep.

When the radars, the eyes of the anti-air radar system, were damaged by the K-PSB plasma cluster bombs, rendering their anti-air missiles useless, the Chinese soldiers picked up the portable QW-18B anti-aircraft weapon and began to fire missiles toward the Peregrine Falcons.

-Alpha 1, mud launch! Launch! Launch! Mudspike 12 o’clock! QW-18B.

-Flight wing. All music on! Break turn!

-Alpha 2, Alpha 3, Alpha 4, Roger.

After the alpha leader warned of the anti-air weapon launch, the Peregrine Falcon choppers all released chaffs and flares and made never-before-seen evasive maneuvers to slip past the QW-18B anti-air missiles. The Peregrine Falcon choppers descended in order to retaliate by spraying 30mm laser Vulcan beams.

Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew~

When the stream of light hit the vehicles and light-armored vehicles on the ground, they exploded, and the Chinese soldiers were caught unawares and torn into bits.

Beep beep beep.

The alpha team leader received the radar scan from the Apollo reconnaissance satellite and confirmed that eight bogeys were flying their way at a distance of 100 km. The exact model of the bogeys was unknown, but it had to be a J-20 or J-30 fighter jet. The flight leader of the alpha team ordered a retreat.

-Alpha 1, detecting eight bogeys from the west point, distance 110. Alpha Team, egress immediately at top speed! Over.

-Alpha 2, Roger.

-Alpha 3, Roger.

-Alpha 4, Roger.

Although the attack choppers were of the latest model, they wouldn’t be able to engage in combat with the fighter jets with only their 30mm laser Vulcan beams. The flight wing raised altitude and then used its plasma turbo engines to retreat toward the rear of the battlefield.

The Peregrine Falcon choppers damaged the battlefield so severely that there were hardly any survivors, and most of the commanders, including the commander of the 65th Army Group Lieutenant General Liu Tung, either died or sustained injuries.

North Korean skies 25 km Northwest of Shin Ui-ju.

The Phoenix Flight Wing from the 8th Fighter Wing was urgently deployed from the Pyeong yang Soon-An base. It flew in a fingertip formation at supercruise and headed toward the An-San area in China, where their mission was to attack the J-20 Chinese stealth fighter jets that had been deployed from the Jinhzhou air force base.

The Chinese J-20 stealth fighters were unaware of this. All of their attention was directed toward the choppers that had attacked the 65th Army Group’s headquarters, and they were speeding toward them.

Meanwhile, at Mach 8 speed, Colonel Hong Soo-young, the commander of the Phoenix Flight Wing, which had just passed the Shin Ui-ju skies, spoke on the comms.

-Raison, Westpoint, 8 J-20 fighter jets, distance 210 check!

-Bell flower root, Copy that.

-88, Copy that.

-This, Copy that.

They would soon come within range to use their S-AAM-200 Rattlesnake mid-ranged missiles, which were equipped to each KF-21P Phoenix jet.

A few seconds later, the flight wing reached a distance of 200 km, and the flight leader gave the order.

-Enter battle positions! Go box line Everest from the current altitude! Standby with one Rattlesnake missile for each target.

The Phoenix Flight Wing slowed down and changed from its fingertip formation into the horizontal line Everest formation. When they got into position, the flight leader gave the command to launch.

-Raison, flight wing fire Rattlesnakes!

-Bell flower root, Fox Three!

-88, Fox Three!

-This, Fox Three!

-Raison, Fox Three!

The Rattlesnake missiles launched from each internal weapons launch pad, emitting blue flames as they flew toward the An-San province at frightening speed.
