Section 69

Two hours later, a huge tail flame ejected from the bottom of the spacecraft loaded with all the soldiers and equipment of the Landing Aviation Brigade and the Logistics Support Battalion, and slowly rose into the air under the gaze of everyone. It will take us directly to the destination of the operation - Phnom Penh.

Although the Logistics Support Battalion is a support force in name, the combat effectiveness of this battalion is actually the strongest in terms of the entire division. Unlike other combat units in the division, the basic equipment of the Logistics Support Battalion is not mobile armor, but heavy armed ground-effect aircraft and enhanced individual combat armor.

Ordinary individual combat armor has strong protection power. Ordinary rifles cannot penetrate 200 meters with 5.45MM-5.8MM series warheads. The protection ability of key parts such as chest and abdomen is even more amazing, and can almost block the attack of the same type of warhead 50 meters away. Strengthened individual combat armor is not only improved on the basis of the original protection, but also a high-strength protective layer mainly composed of hardened rubber has been added to the armor manufacturing materials. The bulletproof ability is nearly twice as high as that of ordinary individual armor. Except for some large-caliber warheads and dam bullets, almost all general warheads of squad rifles cannot penetrate it. Of course, its production cost is five times that of ordinary armor.

All the soldiers of the Logistics Support Battalion were selected from the division's combat troops. Although they were not equipped with mobile armor, each of the soldiers in this battalion had a skill in controlling mechas than others. Their various training volume was twice that of ordinary soldiers, and the assessment subjects were 24 more items than others. The average scores of shooting and individual combat were also outstanding in the division. It is no exaggeration to say that the Logistics Support Battalion is actually the special battalion of the First Division of Dragon Ya.

The idea of ​​establishing this battalion was proposed by Wang Jianqiang. According to his idea, although the First Division of Longya is a special combat division, and various weapons and technical weapons are also the best in the entire army. However, it is armed according to the combat mode. After all, the First Division of Longya should be regarded as a combatant with extremely strong abilities in all aspects. This is far from the hook-up model of the complete special division in Wang Jianqiang's mind. When he entered the First Division of Special War, he was attracted by the word "special combat". But to his disappointment, the development model of the entire division was actually based on combat form, while special combat was second, which made him feel deceived.

Later, after I took over this division, the increase in various new equipment made Wang Jian strong and some new training subjects also amazed him. So, under the instigation of this self-described special forces soldier, I agreed to add another logistics support battalion to the original scale of the establishment as the special combat effectiveness of the entire division. In this way, a special forces battalion with unparalleled combat effectiveness was produced in the entire army. This battle was also an opportunity to test their actual combat capabilities.

Since it is flying in the atmosphere, the speed of carrying the spacecraft cannot be too fast. Despite this, in two hours and 17 minutes, we have arrived at the destination, just above the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia, which is 27,000 meters high. For us, it is an absolutely safe space. Not to mention that no aircraft can fly here in nearby countries and regions, even radars cannot find the traces of the spacecraft. Because the stealth coating on the surface of the spacecraft can absorb all radar waves. It is impossible to find its existence unless it is subject to naked eyes observation. But at such a high place, who would set up a naked eyes observation station here?

Comrades at the Chinese Embassy in the Kingdom of Cambodia have successfully visited the extremely family of King Sikamoni who was under house arrest by exerting diplomatic pressure on the Sanglansi government this morning. According to the report of the embassy staff, because the royal family has a great influence among the people of Cambodia, and the Salansi government currently only controls the military and political power of several provinces near the capital. Therefore, the rebels have been constantly demanding that the king abdicate to the goal of restructuring. Because nearly 80% of the local troops are still obeying the king's orders and continuing to attack the capital. If it were not for the Vietnamese army suddenly crossing the border, the coup rebels could not cope with the current situation. Therefore, the diplomats visiting pacified the imprisoned king, while using various forces to impose the coup rebels, while quietly sending the most critical thing related to our operation, the micro-positioning signal transmitter, to King Sikamoni.

Now, we accurately find and lock the specific location where the royal family was imprisoned by the radio waves emitted from the locator, through the weight of the receiving vessel on the spacecraft, and the ground surveying and mapping of the long-distance remote sensor.

According to the information we have, a total of 38 royal personnel, including the king, and 41 former government officials at all levels, totaling 79. The person responsible for the guarding mission in the palace was the Second Regiment of the 11th Infantry Division of the Cambodian Capital Special Military Region, which is also one of the main military support forces for this coup. The regiment has more than 3,000 people, without tanks and other combat vehicles and heavy weapons. A total of 14 anti-aircraft machine guns with a caliber of 14.5 mm, 37 mm and 57 mm were placed on each commanding height point around the palace. They will be an important obstacle to the offensive force and must be removed first.

In addition to this regiment, there are three other regiments of the division in the east, south and west sides of Phnom Penh City and an armored battalion equipped with T-59, T-54 and PT56 tanks. As long as there is any abnormal movement in the royal palace, their first support troops will arrive at the scene within fifteen minutes. Therefore, successfully blocking these troops will be the primary condition for successful operation.

The huge hatch doors on the belly of the two spacecraft have been opened, and eight large carriers, about one-sixth of its size, slowly emerged. Their mission is to transport all combat troops and technical weapons to the ground safely. At this time, twenty "Bee Dragon" fighters also ejected from the exit on the other side of the spacecraft to escort and cover the aircraft-landing troops.

The speed of carrying the aircraft was very fast. After six minutes, they had dropped to a distance of 5,000 meters from the ground to catch the enemy. At this time, four of the carriers opened a rectangular port from their flat front end. A long-prepared "Athlon Type I" armed helicopters and "Harvester Type I" transport helicopters flocked out from inside and occupied the entire sky. The "Bee Dragon" that had been hovering for a long time was divided into four groups at the center of the royal landing point and flew to all sides. Their mission was to cause an intercepting blow to the enemy troops to support with absolute air superiority.

The other four carriers gradually slowed down their landing speed. When they were about 500 meters above the ground, they suddenly split into six independent small aircraft, slowly landing vertically on the ground. Like other aircraft, it also opened the hatch door at the front of its fuselage. Teams of fully armed soldiers and several wheeled paratroopers emerged from the inside. They quickly formed battle groups, and under the cover of armed helicopters flying in the air, they began a rescue operation.

The carrier aircraft floating in the air had already used airborne ground-to-ground missiles to reduce the firepower points of various anti-aircraft machine guns distributed on the top of the palace. With the issuance of the offensive order, missiles with orange flames roared towards the targets on the ground, causing a fire. The "Heavy-bearer Type I" transport helicopter that had been hovering at high altitudes saw the plane and immediately lowered the altitude quickly. After lowering the loaded soldiers at various rescue points that had been locked, they immediately pulled up the head of the plane and circled around and patrolled nearby, and provided necessary cover for the rescue troops with airborne machine guns. With short-range air weapons as the main suppression force, and cooperating with the offensive and rescue tasks of the ground troops, this is our action plan.

Because there are too many enemies stationed in the palace, we cannot completely eliminate them. Fortunately, the area inside the palace is large and the terrain is complex, which allows the offensive troops outside the palace and the aircraft-submersible rescue troops in the palace to cover each other, cooperate with the helicopter air firepower to rely on the terrain to block the enemy, and win valuable time for the rescue operation.

Zhang Cheng is the platoon leader of the second company and third platoon of the logistics support battalion, and is also the leading team of the offensive troops in this operation. As soon as he came from the carrier vehicle, he kept using the electronic map on his wrist to compare and correct the surrounding terrain. There were many enemies on the offensive surface, but the firepower was not strong. Zhang Cheng's task was to use the remote sensing map to mark the offensive points and defense points for the offensive troops, so as to achieve the goal of dragging the enemy. Soon, he had already selected the attack direction of the ground force he was responsible for. So, under his leadership, several paratroopers and fighting vehicles covered the soldiers behind and rushed towards the direction indicated by Zhang Cheng.

The building in this direction is a side door of the palace, and there are not many enemies stationed. The offensive troops used blasting operations to break out huge gaps on the tall palace walls, and suddenly, the sound of gunfire like a bean-like explosion came out from inside.

Under the cover of the powerful firepower of paratroopers and combat vehicles, the attacking troops successfully attacked various gaps. There were not many guards outside the palace walls, and the ground troops completely controlled all the firepower points outside the palace without any casualties, and gradually penetrated into the palace. However, because the terrain inside the palace was complex, there were too many surrounding corridors, and there were firepower points set by the rebels at each entrance and exit, the breakthrough progress was very slow. Although Zhang Cheng had a three-dimensional topographic map of the entire palace, there was no good solution for this situation. Suddenly, the battle situation became stalemate.

After being hit from the air, the enemy's defensive power basically turned from the ground to the top of each building. The commander of the guards did not seem to have expected the enemy to descend from the sky and was redeploying air defense fire. The soldiers at various stationed points also used their light and heavy weapons to fight back and forth against the armed helicopters hovering back and forth in the air, but the effect was very little.

"Contain, you must guide the enemy's firepower from air to ground." Li Hao in the command room of the carrier aircraft shouted loudly at the microphone in his hand. Now almost all the enemy's firepower is shooting into the air, which is what he least wants to see. In this way, the helicopter will not be able to provide effective low-altitude support, and more carrier aircraft will not be able to enter the center of the detention and rescue object. If this continues, once the time is extended, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this time, from the small aircraft docked on the ground, a series of things that looked like small cars, but were floating on the ground. This is the unique equipment of the logistics support battalion - the heavy armed ground-effect aircraft.

These elliptical-shaped ground-effect aircraft rely on jet power to float on the ground more than 30 centimeters from the ground, and are very flexible in their movements. They are quickly dispersed into combat squads, flying towards places where the battle progress is blocked.

When the soldiers who were shooting against the rebels saw them flying up, they quickly made way for it. After simple calculations and ranging, two thick straight-sighting guns on the aircraft fired powerful shells at the fire point blocking its way, directly destroying them. The soldiers waiting behind rushed up to see this, quickly occupied the passage, and continued to attack towards the next target.

As the offensive strength of the ground troops strengthened and the firepower increased, the resistance within the palace gradually shifted from the air to the ground, and the rescue troops that had been lowered earlier suddenly decreased the pressure, which was exactly the situation Li Hao hoped to see.

Wang Jinbang was the captain of the rescue commando. He led 24 soldiers to land in the gap of the first round of air attacks to a patio less than five meters away from the rescue target's detention point. Although the enemies on the commanding heights around had been eliminated, the space in the patio was narrow and there was only one exit, and there was a machine gun position set up by the rebels. So he couldn't rush out at all. Although he knew that behind the wall in front of him was the detention point, he could only place a bomb on the wall to explode it. However, because there was no safe space for circumvention, it was impossible to carry out the blast. Just when he was having no choice, a missile descended from the sky and hit the machine gun position that blocked his at the end of the passage. The second batch of rescue troops began to land.

Seeing this, Wang Jinbang immediately ordered the blasting soldiers who had already prepared to quickly place medicine on the wall and took the rest of the personnel into the safe passage to avoid it. With a loud bang, a large hole was blown up on the thick wall, revealing a new wall. This is where the king was imprisoned.

Needless to say, Wang Jinbangduo, the two soldiers rushed up and took out pieces of sticky medicine and detonation device from their backpacks with a long-established content. They skillfully placed them around the wall according to the angle, orientation and blasting distance. After everyone took a few steps back, pressed the button in their hands, and after a muffled sound, the wall slowly fell down according to the expected angle. After the dust passed, a group of luxuriously dressed and unarmed people looked at the group of fully armed soldiers in shock.

"You are His Highness King Sikamoni?" Based on the comparison with the rescue object's information and his own judgment, Wang Jinbang determined that the young man in a gorgeous costume in front of him was the one he rescued. He immediately said: "I am a rescue worker sent by the Chinese government. Now please follow us to evacuate safely."

Sikamoni was surprised, really surprised. From the beginning of the battle, he heard the roar of artillery fire from outside. He was imprisoned here the night before yesterday. Although the coup leader Salanci asked him to sign the abdication edict immediately and ordered the guards to take strict supervision of him. But no matter what, Sikamoni was the king who ruled the Kingdom of Cambodia. His father, Prince Sikanuk, had a relatively clear politics during his reign and had a great prestige among the people.

Gao. Therefore, the rebels in the coup were treated very well. It was precisely because of this that the staff of the Chinese Embassy in the Kingdom of Cambodia were able to meet him successfully. He brought him the news that Prince Sihanouk was currently asking for help in Beijing, and secretly handed over the micro-location signal transmitter to him. All of this made the young king feel relieved. Because he knew that China has always been a friendly neighbor of Cambodia, and the Chinese will never abandon their friends.

What surprised him was that the rescuers came so quickly, which surprised him. Less than two days after he was under house arrest, the Chinese army arrived.

Once the identity is confirmed, the rest will be easy. Wang Jinbang took several soldiers as the guide, and the others escorted all the prisoners and quickly ran to the open space in the center of the palace. There will be the landing point for the rescue helicopters.

When Li Hao and I, who were far away, were relieved when I received the news that Wang Jinbang had found the king from the ground, were both relieved. The target had been found safely, and the matter now was to get out of here.

The attack of the ground troops continued, and they had to maintain this state until the king and others evacuate safely. However, now they have stopped the momentum of the attack and are simply constantly attracting and suppressing all the rebel firepower. All paratroopers and combat vehicles outside the palace have been withdrawn to the small carrier aircraft. The helicopters hovering in the air returned to the carrier that was staying in the air. After the second loading, they flew over the palace. The final blocking mission will be completed by them.

In the distance, the enemy reinforcements could be vaguely seen in the direction of the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements. It was the result of the "Bee Dragon" fighter jet blocking it - the enemy's support was approaching and there was not much time left.

The central open space has been cleared, and several commanding heights have been successfully taken down. All entrances and exits that can threaten here have been controlled by our army. With the permission of the ground force commander, four "weight-bearing Type I" transport helicopters rotated their huge wings and slowly landed on the open field.

The king, queen, MP... With the support and guidance of the soldiers, the rescue targets successfully boarded the plane. The ground attacking troops began to evacuate in sequence, and the surrounding alert tasks were handed over to the airplanes. The small carrier aircraft docked on the ground also activated their engines. Li Hao shouted through the microphone in the command seat and said: "The rescue mission has been completed, and all troops are ready to evacuate."

At this time, something unexpected happened.
