Chapter 281: Dawn of Destruction (MD can finally produce normally)
————Ten months after the Bac Eup raid, Da Nang
After driving the Gauls out of Vietnam, the Saigon army began to erode the outposts and forward bases in North Vietnam from 54, among which the Da Nang base was undoubtedly the biggest loss.
According to the adjutant, since they had been wreaking havoc continuously for the past few months, the Saigon army was now in a complete dilemma of being leaderless, which also gave the Liberation Front an opportunity.
Yun Mo's mission this time was also very simple, which was to infiltrate four Saigon army heavy industrial plants and recover the information inside.
"Comrade General, according to intelligence, a nearby Saigon army is fighting with the local defenders. Their base is on the other side of the mountain. Since that is not our main area of operation, you'd better avoid them.
In addition, according to intelligence, the Saigon army has established an air force base on the other side of our outpost to transport ammunition and reinforcements, so you must destroy this air force base first.
Given the uncertainty surrounding this rebellion, we may not be the only armed force seeking to acquire these heavy industries, so please be careful, General."
After saying this, Yun Mo also took a look at his own outpost. Apart from anything else, it finally had proper barracks, heavy industry and mines, and there would be no limit on the number of vehicles that could be produced in the future.
After arranging all the army to assemble at the bridgehead, Yun Mo also began to produce armed mining vehicles and artillery locomotives.
“Roads? How boring! This road is too boring!”
At this time, a Jaguar tank was also advancing as a vanguard. When the Meng army saw the target entering the range, they immediately opened fire. In addition to these bunkers, Yun Mo also heard the sound of technological cannons.
In fact, Yun Mo immediately ordered the Jaguar tank to retreat after discovering the bunker, but even so, the durability of this Jaguar tank was reduced by more than half.
Seeing this, Yun Mo pulled the Jaguar tank back to the maintenance station while continuing to accumulate artillery locomotives.
When their numbers were sufficient, Yun Mo commanded them to use mortars to launch fire attacks outside the range of the concrete bunker, and behind them was a half-track vehicle specifically designed to counter infantry.
Under the continuous firing of the artillery locomotive, the Meng army had to withdraw from the concrete bunker. They also rushed towards the artillery locomotive but were quickly wiped out by the half-track vehicle.
"Comrade General, we have discovered a bank east of the air base that holds Saigon officials' stolen money. We can seize it and use it for our own benefit."
Seeing this, Yun Mo also added the engineer icon in the infantry training.
In order to deal with the cannon positions of the Meng Army, Yun Mo also used his artillery locomotive as the main attack, and the engineers also took the opportunity to seize the cannon positions and the surrounding Meng Army buildings.
Under Yun Mo's command, the artillery locomotive cluster relied on its high health and the support of the technology hospital to easily break through the Meng Army's bridgehead defense line and began to clear the surrounding Meng Army soldiers through the wall.
Several engineers also quickly and efficiently occupied the cannon position as well as the nearby Meng army barracks and power plant.
After dealing with these enemies, the artillery motorcycle team followed the half-track vehicle to start clearing out the Cute Army soldiers around the airport. Some Cute Army soldiers and several Strykers were naturally no match for them.
————Two minutes later
As the last few heavily armored soldiers were eliminated by the concentrated fire of artillery and locomotives, the engineers also occupied another cute army outpost, and the cute army around this technological airport was also wiped out.
The next step was to get down to business. Under the concentrated fire of the artillery locomotives, the technological airport along with the transport planes and Sons of the Storm parked on it were all destroyed.
"Alas, it's a pity that we can't occupy it."
"Wake up, Comrade General, we don't have enough pilots to fly these planes.
In addition, after the airport is destroyed, we will be able to provide you with more reinforcements. Please note that once you occupy the Meng army's heavy industry, please be prepared to resist the Meng army's counterattack."
However, Yun Mo was currently commanding the artillery vehicles to start clearing out the Meng army around the Technology Bank. It was impossible for a few Meng army soldiers and two Hummers to stop them.
However, after occupying this technology bank, seeing that the funds had only increased by 3,000, Yun Mo said that the stolen money here was so small?
However, Yun Mo's attention was soon attracted by the local Saigon army. Relying on the high-tech heavy artillery, machine gun towers and concrete bunkers at the bridgehead, they established a tight blockade line, and Mengyou's vanguard was completely wiped out in just a few minutes.
The good news is that the adjutant provided two Buratino rocket launchers and sent over its drawings. Yun Mo immediately started mass production, starting with the first batch of fifteen.
While accumulating Buratino rocket launchers, Yun Mo was also commanding the artillery locomotives and Buratino to clear out the Saigon troops around the air base, but at this time an unexpected communication disrupted Yun Mo's plan.
"Commander of the Liberation Front... Hello... We have a proposal... In order to deal with the common enemy, our commander is willing to cooperate with you."
"If you want to cooperate, you should show some appreciation."
“Of course, we can provide you with some information and technological assistance.
Trust me, it will be a win-win situation.”
The adjutant also told Yun Mo that these Buratino rocket launchers and artillery locomotives were the last batch of reinforcements, and the other troops would block the enemy reinforcements outside the Da Nang area.
However, Yun Mo was also commanding his troops to split into two groups at this time. One group was composed of the first batch of artillery locomotives and Buratino. They were responsible for clearing out the Saigon army at the other bridgehead. After getting rid of them, the rebels allied with them would also be able to come out.
The other route was composed of other infantry and armored units, including the subsequently produced artillery vehicles. They were responsible for establishing a defense line on the west side of the airport to block the counterattack of the Saigon armored forces.
The first route completed the mission quickly. In return, the rebels gave Yun Mo the right to use the reconnaissance plane, which prevented him from being completely in the dark in the subsequent attack.
"Comrade General, we have discovered an oil well area and are clearing out the surrounding Saigon troops."
"What is the number of oil wells drilled and the garrison strength? Do you need me to arrange reinforcements for you?"
"Not really, Comrade General, that little bit of money is not enough for us brothers to share, as for drilling oil wells, there are four.
There is also a coal-fired power plant and a medical bunker, both of which are unoccupied.”
"Great, I'll arrange for an engineer to go there right away, and the rest will be left to you."
It didn't take long for Yun Mo's war fund to increase by two thousand yuan and began to increase by 120 every six seconds.
After occupying the oil well area, Yun Mo began to prepare for the siege after the first route of troops joined up with the subsequent Buratino rocket launchers. As for the location on the west side of the oil well area... those rebels would help clean it up.
After the reconnaissance plane successfully swept out all the defense towers at the bridgehead, Yun Mo first let the artillery locomotive block the bridgehead to attract the attention of heavy artillery and those armored units, while Buratino destroyed those technological defense towers one by one.
Soon, the blocking positions set up by the Saigon army around the bridgehead and the outposts in the rear were turned into scrap metal by artillery locomotives and Buratino rocket launchers.
After completing the mission, the troops also advanced southwest along the river bank.
On another bridge, the rebels were engaged in a fierce battle with the Saigon Army's bridgehead garrison. During this period, Yun Mo also discovered some cute army vehicles that were obviously different in color from the Saigon Army's. It seemed that the Eagle Army was also defeated.
Thanks to the rebels' success in distracting the garrison, the siege force was able to complete its mission without any casualties.
After the engineers seized the medical bunker in the outpost, the siege troops began their real business after the subsequent engineers and artillery locomotives arrived - seizing the heavy industry.
(PS: The medical bunker in this battle functions as a field hospital.)
The first one was a base controlled by the Eagle Army. Although the heavy industry in the base was not the mission target, in order to increase production buildings and repair IFVs, Yun Mo still commanded the troops to clear out the Eagle Army in the base as quickly as possible.
However, during this period, after Yun Mo occupied the barracks, he once again replicated the classic operation of six days and six nights. Then the remaining engineers also occupied the communication tower, heavy industry, power plant and armory in the base.
"Although this heavy factory does not have the data we need, we still found the design drawings of the Bulldog and Knight tanks. I hope these will be helpful to you."
"EMM, no Stryker or Archon? Anyway, a Knight tank will do."
However, at this time, an unexpected situation occurred again.
Through the communication tower, Yun Mo's troops also received an intermittent distress signal. It turned out to be some innocent civilians who were accidentally involved in this war and hoped someone would rescue them.
"Comrade General, we can respond to their call for help, but sending a communication will definitely attract more enemies. The choice is yours."
Yun Mo also decided to rescue after weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
"You are right. We cannot just sit back and do nothing. A convoy is on its way here."
However, when the mobilized soldiers operated the communication tower, their communications inevitably alarmed other defenders in the Da Nang area.
However, after learning of Yun Mo's actions, the morale of the Liberation Front and the rebels became high. The training of our troops was automatically upgraded to the veteran level, and even the rebels said that they could provide more reinforcements.
Yun Mo was relieved after seeing this. He quickly commanded his troops to occupy the heavy industrial plant which was only separated from the forward base by a road.
During this period, the Saigon Army also launched a counterattack. Yun Mo took a quick look and found that these Saigon Army were divided into two parts. One part was a convoy composed of Knights, Strykers and Hummers, and the other was an infantry squad transported by Chollima, and they were also escorted by Longbow helicopters.
Although the Saigon army had dispatched additional manpower because of the previous communication, they were just fat meat delivered to Yun Mo's mouth in front of his artillery locomotives, Buratinos and half-track vehicles, which had an absolute numerical advantage.
"Excellent, Comrade General. The data of the first heavy industry building has been extracted. There are three more to come."
"I say, do we have to sell this thing after extracting the data?"
"Uh... who told these Saigon troops to set the self-destruct sequence in it?"
"Oh, forget it, let's continue to dismantle it."
In the next few minutes, Yun Mo's troops fought and demolished along the way.
After the rebel reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, the second route of troops also arranged artillery and locomotives to destroy the last bridgehead that had been riddled with holes by the rebels.
In addition, Yun Mo also continued to replenish the Buratino rocket launchers and artillery locomotives. Even with the oil wells, mines and funds borrowed from the Saigon Army mines, Yun Mo's war funds soon ran out.
However, the results were still very significant. The following heavy industrial plants were also taken down by Yun Mo and the rebel troops.
Even with the constant support of the Rangers, the Saigon Army was like throwing meat buns at a dog, and they could not return. Even their most valuable MCV Yunmo was destroyed.
By the time they protected the last heavy industrial plant, Yun Mo and most of the rebel troops had blocked the Saigon Army's support route, ensuring that neither planes nor tanks could survive more than five seconds.
"Well done, Comrade General. The data extraction of the last heavy industry has been successfully completed. It is time for us to retreat."
At the end of the scene, a convoy of Kamaz vehicles escorted by Jaguar and Kirin tanks also left the Da Nang area from a small road.
“This operation also revealed many problems for us, including in the preparation stage.
In future operations, we will learn from the lessons and incorporate the necessary planning for the evacuation of civilians into the preparation phase.”
Then Yun Mo asked the auxiliary AI to show the consequences of ignoring the distress signal. A large number of civilians were transported by Kamaz to a prison jointly defended by the Eagle Army and the Saigon Army.
The adjutant told Yun Mo that after they received reports that civilians were captured and sent to prison, they would arrange troops for rescue operations if conditions permitted, even if it was too late.
"Until then, these innocent people will have to endure some unnecessary suffering in prison."
After watching these images, the familiar mission completion sign that Yun Mo was familiar with also appeared on the combat terminal.
According to the closing briefing, after this raid on the Da Nang base armory, the National Liberation Front obtained a lot of data and weapons they needed, which greatly enhanced their combat effectiveness.
However, according to the communication data recovered from the communication tower of the Da Nang base, the Eagle Sauce has also given up the proxy action. They have begun to arrange the main force to enter Y South to fight with the Liberation Front. Therefore, the adjutant also wrote a sentence at the end: "Our war has just begun!".
