The train driver in the courtyard

With the support of military power and the mobilization of the country's industrial strength, the First Machine Factory finally assembled the first depleted uranium armor production line on April 1960, 4.

Depleted uranium armor officially goes into mass production.

Inside the confidential workshop.

Boom boom boom.
Bang Bang Bang.
The machines hummed as depleted uranium armor of specific specifications was produced.

Li Aiguo looked at the humming machines and smiled faintly: "We have finally achieved mass production. Next, once the tracks of the tunnel excavator are completed, I can go back to live with my wife and children."

Since all the resources of the First Machine Factory have been concentrated on the production of depleted uranium armor recently, the work on the special tracks that had already begun forging has been put on hold.

Staff Officer Xiao joked, "If you delay any further, the commander will kick your ass."

Li Aiguo quickly covered his buttocks because he was sure that the leader was capable of doing such a thing.

"Work hard, work hard!"

In order to avoid getting kicked in the ass, Li Aiguo tried his best. He didn't even bother to go to Lu Baishan's house for dinner and devoted himself to work.

Subsequently, Zhang Tan mobilized a group of technicians to participate in the track forging.

At this moment.

Frontier area.

Li Yunlong looked at Barigas in the distance with a telescope and fell into melancholy.

A while ago, Li Yunlong used a new type of artillery shell to give Asan a severe beating, making Asan cry for his parents.

I thought the other party would learn his lesson, but unexpectedly, not long after, Asan's old problem recurred.

Asan sent out several teams to start the house-building plan.

After learning about the situation, we sent people to severely punish the team.

However, Barigas is located in one of the most remote areas of the border. By the time the old commander got the news, Asan had already taken root there.

In particular, Barigas is backed by a huge hill, and this time the Indians spent a lot of money to build bunkers on the hill.

"Yunlong, even if we use artillery fire, it will be difficult to be effective due to the cover on the hill, unless we flatten the entire hill." After observing the opponent's situation, Zhao Gang put down the telescope.

Blowing up the entire hill sounds awesome, but it would waste too much ammunition.

Li Yunlong has never done anything that loses money, so naturally he would not take this approach.

"The best way is to use tanks. Maybe we should send out the Rabbit Commando." Li Yunlong thought for a moment and did not immediately order the tank regiment to prepare.

He is still waiting for news from the reconnaissance company.

Three hours later, the commander of the reconnaissance company came running over to report the situation.

"Report, according to reconnaissance, the enemy has deployed a large number of anti-tank guns in the bunkers at the foot of the mountain. Due to the distance, the number cannot be clearly seen, but there are at least dozens of them."

"Anti-tank gun?" Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard the news.

Zhao Gang curled his lips at him and said, "Captain Rabbit. You must have been driving your tank recklessly around a while ago and attracted the enemy's attention. They must have set a trap for you."

Because the border is located on a plateau and is restricted by the terrain, neither the Indians nor we have used tank forces on a large scale.

A while ago, in order to test the plateau combat capability of the Type 59 tank, Junwei specially dispatched ten Type 59 tanks to the plateau.

Li Yunlong was a bandit. Whenever he saw something good, he would snatch it away and form a tank assault team.

When the tanks were moving, they made a rumbling sound. Li Yunlong originally named this team the TuTu Commando Team, but the team members and soldiers mispronounced it and read it as the TuTu Commando Team.

When the old commander inspected the commando team, he admired the name of the Rabbit Commando Team very much. From then on, Li Yunlong was given the title of Rabbit Commando Captain.

Under the command of Li Yunlong, the Rabbit Commando Team fully demonstrated its high mobility. Wherever a fight broke out, the Rabbit Commando Team could be seen.

Even if we can't get deep into the mountains, we can still give the enemy a few slaps from the outside.

The other side was so angry that they organized teams several times to defend the Rabbit Commandos.

At this time, the Rabbit Commandos once again took advantage of their fast running speed, and the tracks rumbled as they sped away, leaving Ah San staring in anger.

The commander of the reconnaissance company continued to report: "On the east side of the mountain, we also found the shadow of a tank, but the enemy was well hidden and we couldn't figure out what model it was."

After realizing that this was a trap set by the enemy, Li Yunlong naturally could not jump into it.

But Barigas is an important passage leading to Ladakh. If we occupy this place, we can rush into India's house with just one step on the accelerator.

"This is going to be difficult!" Li Yunlong scratched his head.

At this time, the communicator came running with the radio on his back: "Captain, the headquarters has sent us new equipment."

"Go and have a look."

Li Yunlong secretly sighed in his heart that the old commander was a timely relief, and rushed towards the base with the Rabbit Commando Team.

At this time, in the Asan command post on the hill, looking at the smoke and dust in the telescope, Major General Dada sighed slightly: "Li Yunlong didn't fall for it. He is indeed a man who can arm wrestle with me."

When the adjutant next to him saw Major General Dada put down the telescope, he quickly handed him the prepared authentic coffee.

"Lieutenant General, he is frightened by you. In my opinion, we should just charge forward. With these heavy tanks, we can definitely defeat them."

When saying this, the adjutant felt a sigh in his heart, it really is a matter of time.

After Brigadier General Dada suffered a defeat and fled back, he was not punished because of his relationship with John Bull's family, but was transferred to a sinecure.

Who would have thought that in his spare time, Brigadier General Dada would go to John Bull's house, get in touch with a few old friends, and help Asan's family get more than 20 Conqueror heavy tanks.

This thing is a new type of tank that was only equipped in the past five or six years. It weighs 65 tons and is equipped with an L1A1 120mm tank gun and two 7.62mm machine guns. It is good at providing long-range anti-tank fire support.

The Conqueror heavy tank is the most advanced tank of this era and is not exported at all.

Brigadier General Dada made great contributions and was promoted to major general.

After Yunlong created the Rabbit Commando with the Type 59 tank, he disrupted the Indian front and the Indians had no choice but to send Major General Dada over.

Major General Dada took the coffee cup, took a sip gracefully, and said with a smile: "Li Yunlong is a famous general of the other side. Don't underestimate him."

The adjutant quickly changed his statement: "Yes, yes, yes, we have set up an iron barrel formation now. If Li Yunlong dares to get in, he will never come back."

Major General Dada put down his coffee cup and said, "It's almost noon, bring the lunch over."

"Yes!"

Just as Major General Dada was enjoying a delicious lunch, Li Yunlong also arrived at the base.

Seeing the boxes of iron plates, Li Yunlong frowned and said to the security officer in charge of escorting them, "Where are the new equipment you promised? Are they these iron plates?"

The security officer saluted Li Yunlong first, then handed him a confidential file: "Commander, the situation of these iron plates is recorded in the file, please take a look."

"Why are you acting so weird?" Li Yunlong sensed something was wrong from the other party's attitude, so he took the confidential file and opened it.

After just a glance, his expression changed slightly: "Can this depleted uranium armor be used? Hey, it was made by Aiguo? Great, it must be a good thing, install it, install it quickly!"

After Li Yunlong handed the confidential file back to the confidentiality officer, he immediately ordered the military workers to start work.

Zi La La.
The military workers who came with the security officer started working. In less than two days, all ten Type 59 tanks were equipped with depleted uranium external armor.

"Aiguo said that this thing can now withstand five artillery shells. Is it reliable?" Zhao Gang walked around the tank and always felt that this tank was a little strange.

Yes, now the Type 59 tank has external armor and is a bit larger in size, just like the heavy mecha vehicles in the movies.

"Damn it, the only way out now is to try to save the situation."

Although Li Yunlong was not clear about the true power of the depleted uranium armor, in the past two days, India had sent several teams here via the Barigas passage.

If this continues, the pressure here will definitely increase.

soon.

The new Type 59 tank was put into actual combat.

early morning.

The Bunny Commandos reappeared on the outskirts of Barigas.

The commando team was followed by two infantry battalions, a motorcycle company, an artillery company, and three engineering companies.

Li Yunlong planned to build fortifications on the spot after occupying Barigas and take control of the important military roads.

Li Yunlong's battle plan was simple. He personally led the Rabbit Commando to test the enemy's firepower.

If you think you can do it, suddenly exert force to break up the enemy's formation and create a fire output environment for subsequent troops.

If the enemy is too fierce, the Rabbit Commandos will just run away and pretend nothing happened.

Shame?

Li Yunlong doesn't care.

After half a day's trek, the Rabbit Commandos arrived at the foot of the hill first.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Yunlong picked up the telescope and observed the situation, then immediately ordered the tanks to get ready: "Follow my orders!"

The tank soldiers got into the tank and started the engine.

Chug tug tug.
The shells are ready.

The tank is ready.

Li Yunlong saw that the time was right and waved his hand: "Assault!"

All of a sudden, nine Type 59 tanks roared away like tigers descending from the mountains.

Li Yunlong was about to jump onto a Type 59 tank.

Zhao Gang rushed over and stopped him.

"Lao Li, the enemy has prepared tanks this time. It's too dangerous. You should stay in the rear and command."

Li Yunlong pried open Zhao Gang's hand that was grabbing his arm and grinned, "Old Zhao, if we are commanders and don't have the courage to charge with the soldiers, we might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

"Wherever the sword points, it is invincible. When two enemies meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. I don't take those Indians seriously at all."

After saying that, Li Yunlong turned around and jumped into the tank.

The tank roared away.

All that was left for Zhao Gang was a cloud of dust and worry.

"This Lao Li is becoming more and more radical"

Zhao Gang learned from Li Yunlong's adjutant that Li Yunlong had nightmares every night over the years, dreaming about his brothers who died on the battlefield and Xiuqin who died in Ping'an City.

He always rushes to the front line in every action, which seems to be brave, but in fact he has a tendency to self-destruct.

Zhao Gang had tried to persuade Li Yunlong several times, but Li Yunlong scolded him for being a sissy.

"It seems that we have to ask the old commander to have a good talk with Li Yunlong."

"Report, the Bunny Commando is here!"

In the command post on the hill, Major General Dada was enjoying a leg massage when his adjutant ran in hurriedly.

"Is Li Yunlong here too?" Major General Dada didn't take the Rabbit Commando seriously at all and raised his head slightly.

"The tank with the red five-pointed star on it is in the team."

"Okay, this Li Yunlong is really not afraid of death!" Major General Dada pushed the women away, stood up and put on his military coat.

He quickly walked to the observation tower, picked up the telescope and looked inside. He burst into laughter at just one glance.

"Li Yunlong actually came up with the idea of ​​adding external armor."

"But he doesn't know that I have prepared a conqueror."

The adjutant nodded repeatedly: "The Conqueror is a heavy tank. It can easily defeat the Type 59 with one shot."

After observing the external armor of the Type 59 tank, Major General Dada shook his head slightly.

"External armor can indeed increase protection, but it also reduces the speed of the tank and makes it lose its mobility."

"I am a little disappointed with Li Yunlong. I just want to meet a real opponent, why is it so difficult?"

The adjutant took the opportunity to flatter him: "Major General, you are already the best military strategist in the world. The only ones who can really rival you are Manstein, Lao Zhu of the Russians, Xiao Meimai of the American family, and Lao Meng of the John Bull family."

"That's too much. I admit that my military ability is better than Manstein's, but I should still learn from him in commanding tanks."

Major General Dada puffed out his chest and pointed at the Rabbit Commandos who were launching a charge.

"Destroy them."

His casual attitude was like a butcher holding a butcher knife and targeting a little rooster.

The adjutant quickly passed on the order.

The guns in the bunkers on the hill began to prepare and adjust the firing angles.

Loading shells.

Ready.

Major General Dada sat on the chair and yawned: "Let's finish it quickly, don't delay my steak dinner."

Major General Dada does have the "casual" qualification.

Among the artillery hidden in the hill fortifications, there are more than a dozen M46 cannons. This stuff was obtained by the Indians from the Russians. It has a long range, high accuracy and huge power.

All of a sudden, more than a dozen M46 cannons fired at the same time.

At the same time, India's own QF 25-pound howitzer also fired.

One round of salvo fire is equivalent to dozens of artillery shells bombarding the position in an instant.

This is enough to be called artillery fire plowing the land.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Boom boom boom.
Fires flashed one after another on the battlefield, and red flames formed by explosions were everywhere.

Smoke, dust, sand and stones intertwined together and rolled continuously on the ground.

The entire explosion scene was extremely spectacular and shocking.

"Welcome to my position!" Major General Dada stood up excitedly, lit a cigar, and took a puff of it comfortably. "Li Yunlong, it's a pity that I couldn't meet you."

Before he finished speaking, Major General Dada stood there in a daze.

I saw a Type 59 tank rushing out from the smoke.

"How can this be?"

Then the second, third and more tanks rushed out.

Their bodies were still covered with gunpowder smoke, and they rushed over roaring, crushing the flames of war.

"Fire, fire!" The cigar in his mouth fell to the ground, and Major General Dada pointed at the tanks and yelled loudly.

Asan, who was hiding in the hills, was also stunned by this incredible scene.

When they hurriedly loaded the ammunition and prepared to fire.

The Type 59 tank has stopped.

"Ready, fire!"

Accompanied by Li Yunlong's roar.

Boom boom boom!
A flash of fire burst out from the gun barrel of the Type 59 tank.

Boom boom boom!
The position on the hill was overturned by the violent explosion, and the guys hiding in the position cried for their parents.

Cool! It’s so cool!
Li Yunlong saw the situation on the battlefield through the lookout and burst into laughter.

"Hehehe, this is awesome! This armor is awesome!"

The Type 59 tank actually withstood the enemy's artillery shells.

Isn't this invincible?

The artillery on one side is unable to break through the defense, while the tanks on the other side can fire freely. The situation on the battlefield can be imagined.

Seeing the black smoke coming out of the hill, Major General Dada could no longer bear it and shouted, "Order the Conqueror heavy tanks to move out and annihilate the enemy completely."

Rumble. More than twenty Conqueror heavy tanks drove out from their hiding places and appeared on the station.

The black gun barrel, heavy armor, and mountain-like size all tell those around it that this thing is not to be trifled with.

The Type 59 tank is just a medium tank. Face to face with the Conqueror, it is like a little white rabbit standing in front of a big bad wolf.

"Hahaha, Li Yunlong, you are dumbfounded!" Major General Dada burst into crazy laughter when he saw the Type 59 tank was shocked by the Conqueror.

"Fuck it! Fire!"

The appearance of the Conqueror was beyond Li Yunlong's expectations.

He didn't know what model the tank was, the thickness of its armor, or the specific parameters of its artillery configuration.

However, he only knows that when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins!

boom!
Accompanied by a flash of fire, Li Yunlong opened fire first.

The shell whizzed away and hit the Conqueror tank.

but.

It was actually blocked.

The Conqueror heavy tank's armor was 178 mm thick, barely enough to block the shells.

Seeing this scene, the originally chaotic battlefield seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

This thing is too scary, how can we play it?
Major General Dada laughed loudly and pointed at the battlefield and said, "If we take care of Li Yunlong today, my name Dada will be known all over the world."

Boom boom boom. The conqueror moves.

The turret turned, and the black gun barrel aimed at Li Yunlong's tank.

boom!
Leaving nothing to chance, the Conqueror opened fire.

The 120mm howitzer shell turned into a ball of black light and pounced on the weak Type 59 tank like a demon.

The other tanks saw this and cried out, "Captain!"

They wanted to respond, even if it meant using their own tanks to stop the shells.

but.

It's too late.

Several tank drivers seemed to have seen Li Yunlong's end and their eyes turned red.

The shells were whistling.

Anger is spreading.

at this time.

"boom"

The shell hit the tank.

The smoke has not yet cleared.

boom!
A ball of sparks burst out from the smoke, and the black shell turned into black light and hit the opposite side directly.

The Conqueror tank had thought it had dealt with the Type 59 and was now moving to deal with the next tank, leaving the shell nest exposed in the flight path of the shells.

boom!
The shell exploded.

The turret was directly overturned.

The Conqueror tank was emitting black smoke, and the fate of the tank soldiers inside was already sealed.

A bloody battlefield.

A dead silence.

Everyone looked at this scene in stunned silence.

The Conqueror failed to destroy the Type 59 tank and was killed instead?!

How is this possible!
In the observation post on the hill, Major General Dada saw the Conqueror being overturned by a cannon and was so angry that he threw the telescope away.

"How is this possible! The Conqueror was the first to attack, but it couldn't defeat the Type 59."

The adjutant whispered, "What should we do now?"

Major General Dada looked around and said through gritted teeth: "Order the Conqueror tanks to attack with all their might. Whoever captures Li Yunlong will be promoted one rank!"

"Yes!"

As the order was conveyed to the battlefield.

Although the tank soldiers didn't know what was going on, they were so excited that they drove their tanks towards Li Yunlong's tank.

To be honest, Li Yunlong was a little panicked at the beginning.

However, after two shells hit the tank and did not cause any damage to it, Li Yunlong suddenly came to his senses.

"Those guys can't break through our defense. Comrades, now is a good time for us to strike back."

"Those big guys on the opposite side have thick skin and tough flesh. Their only weakness is in the bullet nesting area. Take aim before firing."

The so-called bullet nesting area is the junction between the vehicle body and the turret. The area is very small and generally not easy to be aimed at.

However, the Type 59 tank now has invincible armor and can shoot while standing, greatly improving its accuracy.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The tank withstood a shell and took the opportunity to open fire.

In less than a moment, seven Conqueror tanks were destroyed.

In the observation post on the hill, Major General Dada saw this scene and was so heartbroken that blood was dripping from his mouth. In order to get these tanks from John Bull's family, the Asan family spent a lot of money.

The adjutant suggested quietly: "The enemy is beating us 0:7 now. If this continues, we will be completely wiped out. Should we withdraw the tanks?"

"Withdraw and wait. Wait ten minutes before withdrawing."

The adjutant understood what Major General Dada meant the next second.

Major General Dada was seen riding a motorcycle and taking his bodyguards around to the back, then escaping in a flash.

"As expected of Major General Dada, you have a deep understanding of the principle of keeping the green mountains, and not being afraid of running out of firewood."

The adjutant exclaimed, turned his head and prepared to shake the phone to give the order to retreat.

He picked up the telescope and took a look at the battlefield, but felt that it was no longer necessary.

At this time, all the Conqueror tanks on the battlefield had been destroyed, and the ten Type 59 tanks were roaring towards the hill.

The adjutant threw away the phone, turned around and ran to the valley outside, pulled open a piece of tattered tarpaulin, and underneath was a motorcycle.

"Major General Dada, wait for me!"

The adjutant mounted his motorcycle and sped away.

Boom boom boom.
At this time, the hilltop had become a sea of ​​fire.

Under the bombardment of Type 59 tanks, those fortresses turned into hell on earth.

at dusk.

The motorcycle commando team rushed over, and Zhang Erpao climbed to the top of the mountain and planted the bright flag on it.

In the setting sun, bright flags flutter in the wind.

At this time in the Frontier Corps Headquarters, the Chief of Staff was reporting the results of the battle to the old commander.

"Old Captain, Li Yunlong's attack went smoothly this time and he successfully captured Barigas."

"The enemy turned Barigas into a tortoise shell and hid more than 20 heavy tanks from John Bull. If it weren't for the depleted uranium armor, Li Yunlong probably wouldn't have been able to come back."

"This depleted uranium armor is so useful!"

The old commander also said with emotion: "I didn't expect the depleted uranium armor to be so powerful. When we advance through Barigas and the situation stabilizes, I must go to see Li Aiguo in person."

The Chief of Staff continued, "Should we continue to keep the results of this battle secret?"

Ever since the two sides started fighting, the old leader has been cautious in his words and has never announced the results of the battle to the public.

The Asan family has suffered several losses, so naturally they are unwilling to disclose it to the public.

So much so that other families were very interested in the fight between the two families.

Now seven or eight international media including the Americans, French, Russians, etc. are waiting for the news.

"We've hurt Ah San this time, so he's definitely going to look for help. Let's spread the word and let those guys know the consequences of interfering."

The old captain said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded heavily.

News from the battlefield quickly spread around the world via radio waves.
