Chapter 245 Medusa
As the commander-in-chief of Aceh's anti-rebellion campaign, Prabowo, who received the news that the Marine Task Force was wiped out, was more than two hours after the incident. He was in a very bad mood. In order to draw a line with the riots that occurred in Jakarta, although he was the behind-the-scenes commander, before the riots, he went to the front line of Aceh to "inspect" the Aceh's front line with the same mind. Viranto, the highest commander of Indonesia, who was the same as him, ran to East Timor with a large number of subordinates. So when the riots in Jakarta began, the two highest commanders of the two armies were not in the capital, but were tacitly sitting in command of the rebellion at the east and west ends of the country.
But Prabowo is in a very bad situation now. The Jakarta riot he provoked in the rear not only did not achieve the purpose of diverting domestic class conflicts, but also evolved into a comprehensive conflict between the military and Chinese armed organizations. Now international public opinion criticized the Indonesian riot as a racist conflict, and named Suharto and him were the masterminds! On the front line, although more than 5,000 soldiers in the Aceh province where he was located, the results were very little.
Some guerrillas never fight head-on, but instead use sporadic sneak attacks to kill or capture a few Indonesian soldiers, which consumes the strength of the army. This makes his men very troubled. What is particularly hateful is that the locals are very barbaric. Many guerrillas have joined local cannibal tribes before Indonesian. The arrested Indonesian soldiers were cut off their ears and gouged their eyes, cut off their limbs or heads and made them openly public. These cruel methods greatly reduced morale.
The news he just received made him even more angry. When did this group of native peasants in Aceh Province become so powerful? Thinking of the news provided by the military intelligence department about the activities of foreign soldiers in the country, he gritted his teeth and guessed that the Marine Corps must have met them. The most urgent task now is to immediately clear the area, where the jungle is dense and the enemy cannot run far. In his heart, the Indonesian Marine Corps is the elite of the entire Indonesian army, the so-called "killing one thousand enemies and self-harm five hundred". The number of more than 500 Marines should also cause significant losses to the opponent.
This was a good time to seize the opportunity to defeat the enemy. He immediately ordered the entire army to be dispatched, with the goal being near the location of the defeat of the Marines. Of course, years of experience in the war told him that this trip was very dangerous, after all, the other party had just wiped out the Marines. But he remembered that once the war was unfavorable, his opponent Viranto took advantage of the situation and played a sarcastic smile on his face when he suppressed him, and the position of Supreme Commander who was about to be obtained flew away. He still made up his mind to command himself, and for safety reasons, he just brought more people.
That evening, as the Russian BTR-80 command armored vehicle he was riding in was rumbling, his heart couldn't help but feel the passion of the autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The only thing that made him a little regretful was that one of his favorite adjutants penetrated his thigh because of a fire yesterday, and could only stay in the base camp for healing and could not accompany him. But he was loyal and insisted on helping the chief bring all the necessities of life and limped and saluted, which made him quite emotional. However, what he didn't know was that when the "loyal" assistant packed his clothes and shoes and hats, he had quietly replaced some "new products" that could send positioning signals.
On both sides of a must-pass mountain road from Prabowo to the Upper Aceh area, Lin Jiana and Yang Xing had been ambushed for a long time. As soon as they finished the ambush on the Indonesian Marines in the early morning, they immediately stepped away. Under the leadership of the local armed forces in Aceh, they crossed a forest path that had been shortened by 50 kilometers, and arrived at the ambush site at noon. Since Lin Jiana wanted to eat the Marines and Prabowo at one time, they fought the time difference. This place is the complete annihilation of the Marines.
The location is nearly 100 kilometers. Not only can it be used to throw away the Indonesian army surrounding them, but it also appeared surprisingly on Prabowo's route. As long as Prabowo's escorts can be defeated, the Indonesian government army closest to them will react one day later. Although the price is to make them almost lose their strength by marching, fortunately Prabowo helped them. When the Indonesian army went on camp for one night and set off again tomorrow morning, Lin Jiana, who had a rest, would naturally give them a head-on blow.
After receiving the settlement fee of 500,000 US dollars, the adjutant of Prabowo not only chose to sell the information, but also sold the life of the company commander. As soon as Prabowo went out, his whereabouts fell into Lin Jiana's control. The winning rate with intentional calculations and no intentions increased significantly. However, the enemy had more than a thousand and had a reinforcement battalion, which was five times the number of people they now had. Yang Xing felt unsure and could only ask Lin Jiana for his opinion. She only smiled mysteriously, but instead asked Yang Xing to distribute some of the "mysterious weapons" she specifically asked. When distributing the weapons, she explained to Yang Xing about the battle at night.
"Most of the tactics of the Indonesian Marine Corps come from the United States, but the Americans are technical and like "air-ground integrated warfare". They can detect and figure out the situation before attacking. The US military and air forces are closely coordinated, and the air force is extremely powerful. If there is any error, they will send attack aircraft to support and blow the ground into a sea of fire, and then send helicopters to rescue people. If the opponent of last night was the US military, we could only hurt him a few lives and then retreat quickly. However, the Indonesian Marine Corps is a dog that is not a rebel. They lack corresponding reconnaissance and air support methods, and they do not understand the terrain and landforms of the attack. The team members lack independent combat capabilities and completely obey the command of the superiors. The so-called "time, place, and people" are not mastered, so they naturally have to lose."
"They divided the troops and had a good idea. But they were all exposed in the satellite images, and they obviously didn't have the right to pretend. They lacked the support of locals here. Otherwise, if you ask casually, you will know that there is nitrogen fertilizer in the factory and the reserve team will have mountain torrents. Compared to the so-called local Indonesian soldiers, we outsiders are still aware of the local customs and cultures. How can they not defeat? But the most thanks to you is the Chinese "Three Kingdoms". Otherwise, how could I think of the trick of burning water and flooding the army?" Lin Jiana talked happily, and her humor made Yang Xing amazed. This industry has the top scorer, and it is like a mountain across the mountain. Lin Jiana is indeed much taller than him in the war.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Jiana and the others were energetic after a night of cultivation, observing Prabowo's whereabouts on satellite images. Asking him to "undercover" Fu, it was obvious that Prabowo was stepping into their ambush "pocket". They stayed on both sides of the valley with a mountain road, with narrow and winding roads, high mountains and dense forests, which is an excellent ambush point.
He handled many of the strange weapons that Yang Xing brought, but he was still very interested in watching how these professional soldiers operated them. Black Jack was loading a South African-made MGL six-round 40mm low-speed grenade launcher. The guy was like a large revolver, but the grenade that was comparable to the power of six grenades. Steve was wiping a black trumpet mortar, which was the three-no grenade launcher that Lin Jiana and the others called for.
Originally, Yang Xing wanted to order foreign goods, but he didn't expect that domestic military enterprises would come up with a better product after hearing this. The number of this thing is QLT89. Yang Xing specially ordered a batch of "black cannons" with no details to check, and gave his subordinates one. Steven liked it very much. He had tried it several times. When the 50-mm grenade was fired, there was no flame smoke, only the faint impact sound of the launcher sleeve sliding. It was really a "smokeless, light, silent" three-no product. The grenade was powerful, up to 800 meters, and the explosion-killing range could reach 25 meters. When fighting in jungles and mountains, it was simply a cannon carried by soldiers. It is worthy of being a must-have product for "traveling at home, killing and setting fires."
"Here's coming." Bananov put down his telescope and told everyone that he carried a RPG-7 rocket grenade launcher and walked towards his battle position. As a weapon for the Three Treasures of the Guerrillas to deal with armored vehicles, this time it not only took the responsibility of firing the first shot against the Prabowo convoy, but also had to deal with the helicopters in the sky if necessary. Therefore, in addition to the three-no grenade launcher, this guy is also a must-have weapon for the team members.
However, compared to the weapons that Lin Jiana carries on her shoulders, Yang Xing shook her head and sighed while watching her operate this big guy who is taller than a human. Lin Jiana is simply a "female version of the armored veyron"! She just looked at the guy she assembled, but shook her head and sighed. This is an RT-20 anti-equipment rifle produced in Croatia, and it is also the largest caliber sniper rifle known to the world. Military strategists generally call direct-fire weapons above 20 mm, and guns below 20 mm, and it is probably not controversial to call this weapon an anti-tank gun.
It fired a 20mm anti-aircraft gun shell, which was irresistible to most armored vehicles in the world, including light tanks, and the armor plates that could defend against 14.5mm bullets were vulnerable to it. During the Yugoslav civil war, Croatia urgently developed this powerful sniper rifle in order to deal with the armor advantages of Yugoslavia. In order to alleviate the huge recoil during firing, the gun deliberately adopted a recoil-free jet. The consequence was that flames and smoke would be generated at the back of the gun during firing, exposing the shooter's target.
In addition, in order not to be burned by the flames, the gunman must lie on his back and operate the gun horizontally, which looks very awkward. But all this cannot cover up the ability to hit a target 2 kilometers away with one shot. Even Tucker's rear armor can penetrate and explode. This is Lin Jiana's favorite thing to ask Yang Xing to buy her from the underground black market at a high price. She even named it for the monster "Medusa" in Greek mythology that can make everything petrified!
Prabowo's convoy slowly appeared in front of everyone. They were opened by several BTR-80 wheeled armored vehicles, and there were also several German "fox" wheeled fighting vehicles. After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Indonesia took the opportunity to purchase a batch of weapons from former Eastern Soviet countries at a low price. In addition, the weapons originally purchased from Germany, France and other countries, the armored forces were the best among Southeast Asian countries. However, the training level of the Indonesian army was really low. Even in this area where guerrillas frequently appeared, the soldiers' vigilance was still very low.
Most people leaned out of the car and chatted and laughed freely with each other, but they didn't look like they were facing a great enemy. Lin Jiana shook her head and said, "What kind of general brings what kind of soldiers? Even if there are many people and many people, the guards must remain at least alert. It is said that Prabowo got it by flattering his father-in-law, and this battle was relaxed." Yang Xing was angry and funny when he heard her complaint. Some people actually thought the enemy was too weak. The beauty's blood vessels were probably not blood, but gun oil!
