The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

Upon receiving Long Fei's reply, Xu Peng immediately relayed it to all officers and soldiers.

Now that he knows he will receive support from the Air Force and Xie Qiang, Xu Peng has even more confidence.

Moreover, Xu Peng has already grasped the enemy's situation in advance, giving him a head start that allows him to prepare a countermeasure.

Although the 500,000-strong iron torrent of the Rakshasa Kingdom looks terrifying on the surface, it is not impossible for the heavy combined arms brigade to defeat them.

Because Xu Peng is a modern soldier who traveled from the future and possesses advanced ideas and combat concepts.

In addition, their weaponry and equipment are unmatched by the Russian army.

For example, the most advanced tank in Russia is the T-34, which is a medium tank with a combat weight of only 32 tons.

The main gun is a 76mm F-34 cannon. Although its frontal armor is sloped, it is only 60mm thick, and the side armor is only 45mm thick.

When the T34 fires a hard-core armor-piercing projectile, it can penetrate armor up to 92 millimeters thick at a distance of 500 meters.

Moreover, the speed is only 55 kilometers per hour on the road and 30 kilometers per hour off-road.

However, the Type 99A tanks equipped by Xu Peng's heavy combined arms brigade are heavy tanks with a combat weight of up to 58 tons.

The Type 99A tank has a frontal armor thickness of 1000 millimeters, and no tank at that time could penetrate it with armor-piercing rounds.

However, its 125mm smoothbore cannon can easily penetrate a 680mm thick homogeneous steel plate from 1,800 meters away.

Moreover, the 99A's top speed is far beyond the reach of the T34, reaching 80 km/h on paved roads and 50 km/h off-road.

In other words, in a battle between these two tanks, the armor-piercing rounds fired by the T-34 could only leave scratches on the surface of the Type 99A's armor.

But a single armor-piercing round fired by the 99A can kill a T-34 in a second.

Even the Type 04A tracked infantry fighting vehicle equipped by the heavy combined arms brigade has a 100mm rifled gun on it.

Its gun-launched anti-tank missiles are powerful enough to destroy a T-34 in a single shot.

The heavy combined arms brigade is equipped with 112 Type 99A main battle tanks and 100 Type 04A tracked infantry fighting vehicles.

It carries over two thousand armor-piercing shells and gun-launched missiles, theoretically enough to destroy all the tanks on the Russian side.

Moreover, there are 72 anti-tank missiles carried by 9 HJ-10 anti-tank missile vehicles.

This missile has a range of up to 10 kilometers and can destroy enemy tanks at extremely long distances, catching the enemy completely off guard.

In addition, it is equipped with the HQ-12 man-portable anti-tank missile.

Theoretically speaking, Xu Peng's heavy combined arms brigade could wipe out the enemy's armored formation of more than 2,000 tanks.

However, to be on the safe side, Xu Peng also had an additional 2,000 troops.

He also retrieved 100 Type 59 tanks from the system, which Long Fei had given him, to serve as a second echelon to enhance the attack force.

In addition, Long Fei informed Xu Peng that the air force, ammunition depots, and arms depots in the Far East region of Russia had been destroyed.

Therefore, Xu Peng did not need to worry about aerial threats from the other side.

Therefore, Xu Peng ordered 20 Type 07 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to lay their barrels flat and switch to attacking enemy ground targets.

A former special operations battalion soldier joked with a smile.

“Deputy Corps Commander Xu, you’ve laid down the anti-aircraft guns, this is a military court case.”

Xu Peng chuckled: "What military court? Russia dares to send 500,000 troops to teach us a lesson. I have to let them know how serious the consequences will be if they piss us off."

Although Xu Peng spoke lightly at the moment, he was worried about the enemy's artillery units, especially their large-caliber artillery and rocket launchers.

Once the enemy confirms the target and begins shelling, it will definitely cause considerable damage to the personnel and equipment on this side.

Although Xu Peng knew that the Air Force would send fighter jets to find and destroy the enemy's artillery units as soon as possible.

However, to be on the safe side, Xu Peng also retrieved ten UH-1 helicopters from the system.

Order them to set off immediately, locate the enemy's artillery positions as quickly as possible, and send back the specific coordinates.

Before the ten helicopters took off, Xu Peng instructed them to send back any information they found of other valuable targets, such as the enemy's command post.

After the helicopters took off, Xu Peng divided his troops into three assault groups, which headed directly towards Undur Khan.

When Kravchenko led his 6th Guards Tank Army into firing range.

Xu Peng ordered the nine HJ-10 anti-tank missile vehicles to launch immediately.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Seventy-two anti-tank missiles were launched rapidly and all of them quickly hit the enemy's T-34 tanks.

If attacked, Kravchenko immediately ordered his troops to halt their advance.

Since the enemy was not within the firing range of the 99AM tank gun, Xu Peng had to immediately order an attack.

To Xu Peng's surprise, the other party continued to move forward at full speed.

This was exactly what Xu Peng wanted, and he ordered the 99A tanks and 04 infantry fighting vehicles, which were already lined up and ready for battle, to take action.

As soon as the enemy's tank units enter firing range, open fire immediately and simultaneously charge towards them at full speed.

"Hurrah... For victory, forward..."

Kravchenko was extremely angry when he saw dozens of tanks destroyed.

He used the radio inside the tank to address all the tanks to boost morale.

Soon, a dense formation of Russian tanks appeared in the distance.

As they entered firing range, 112 Type 99A tanks and 100 Type 04 infantry fighting vehicles took aim and fired without hesitation.

Before Kravchenko could react, countless tanks within his line of sight were hit, most of them exploding.

Kravchenko finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly ordered a halt to the advance and a full-speed retreat.

In a very short time, more than 600 Russian tanks that were charging at the front were destroyed.

The remaining tanks received orders and retreated at full speed.

At this moment, the 99A and 04 infantry fighting vehicles also began to pursue at full speed.

The 99A tank was in front, followed by the 04 infantry fighting vehicle, pursuing and continuously firing at the enemy.

Because the T34 was too slow and they were on the grassland, the distance between the two vehicles was getting closer and closer.

Meanwhile, although the T34 was retreating at all costs, it remained within firing range.

At this moment, Xu Peng ordered all troops to advance and prepare for battle.

The 6th Guards Tank Army charged backwards, but could not escape the enemy's artillery fire.

Many T-34s also successfully fired armor-piercing rounds, hitting the frontal and side armor of the Type 99A.

However, the tank crews of the Russian Empire discovered that their armor-piercing shells, after hitting the enemy, did not even leave a hole, let alone destroy the enemy.

This bizarre and terrifying outcome nearly drove countless Russian tank soldiers to the brink of collapse.
