Chapter 127 Decapitation of Chen's Army with D-300

1982年7月27号傍晚6点，小舅岑勇用短信机联系了王建昆，让他在当晚8点至10点期间进行地地导弹的试射。

After receiving the message, Wang Jiankun asked the people who were conducting the simulated ground-to-ground missile attack to perform target calculations. He also asked the team that was loading simulated bullets to end the practice and load two real bullets into the launch tube.

"Uncle, have you measured the target's latitude, longitude and altitude?"

"The measurement is done. It will be sent to your text message machine right away. Please send it back to me for confirmation after you receive it."

About 10 seconds later, the latitude and longitude coordinates and altitude of the two targets appeared on Wang Jiankun's text message machine.

He sent the values ​​back to his uncle for confirmation. After his uncle replied that the coordinates were correct, he gave the two coordinate information to the commander of the No. 1 ground-to-ground missile combat team.

After receiving the coordinate information, the commander immediately began to make arrangements according to the battle process, and the crews on the four vehicles began to make intensive preparations.

Fortunately, they had already calculated the coordinates of their own launch position while waiting for orders, otherwise they would have been busy.

The current measurement of longitude and latitude coordinates is still very troublesome and requires a lot of calculations, as well as strong knowledge of geometry and some algebra.

However, Wang Jiankun provided them with a scientific calculator, which is about the size of an A5 paper book. In addition to basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, it can also solve square roots, cube roots, trigonometric functions and many other math problems. So as long as they learn the calculation methods for these math problems, they can use a scientific calculator to complete the calculation process.

This is very friendly to the reconnaissance personnel ahead. Before, they did not have any long-range attack weapons, and they mostly aimed directly. Since they were equipped with aircraft, they need forward observers to calculate the longitude and latitude of the target, otherwise the aircraft will not be able to find the target when it flies over.

Time passed by unknowingly. It was the beginning of the lunar calendar, and there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky. The altitude here was high, the stars were brighter, and the Milky Way was moving slowly across the sky.

As soon as 8 o'clock arrived, Wang Jiankun asked the commander to be ready to launch at any time. Then he told his uncle the information about the upcoming missile launch and asked him to notify the radars and some observers along the way to observe, and also to clear the area near the target.

After about 3 minutes, my uncle replied that it was OK to fire.

Wang Jiankun did not repeat anything further. He showed the information on the text message machine to the commander of the first combat group and asked him to make the final confirmation before launching the attack immediately.

"Each unit will report the situation for the last time."

"Radar is ready."

"Missiles ready."

"Target confirmed."

"The position has been cleared and confirmed."

"I order, prepare for the first shot with a 3-second countdown."

"3, 2, 1, fire."

As the commander gave the order to launch, the soldier at the launching post pressed the launch button.

A white missile with a length of 6.1 meters and a diameter of 0.7 meters broke through the waterproof and dustproof cover and was ejected from the camouflage launch tube to a height of about 12 meters from the ground. The solid fuel engine ignited successfully, emitting thick white smoke and lifting the missile into the air rapidly.

From this moment on, the ground radar will track the missile's flight until it falls 20 kilometers to the ground, after which it will be controlled by the missile's inertial system.

The United States is currently developing a new generation of global satellite positioning system, which is said to be able to achieve a positioning accuracy of 10 meters.

The current strength of Wang Jiankun and the Southern Liberation Front is not enough to support the development of such a system, but if the Southern Liberation Front can control most of Myanmar in the future, this global positioning system can be put on the agenda.

When the missile was launched, Wang Jiankun was thinking divergently about how to improve the missile's landing accuracy.

It took only two days from the manufacturing to the test-firing of this ground-to-ground missile, so apart from the five senior executives and the on-site personnel involved in the test-firing, no one else knew that a weapon that would make them stand up straight was about to be fired on the South Asian continent.

The missile was fired from south to north, and because the ascending phase was close to the ground, it could be seen by people on the ground.

The missile flew obliquely towards the south, trailing yellow flames and thick white smoke.

Many people in the old base thought it was thunder when they heard the rumbling sound.

But when I looked up, the sky was bright with stars, with no sign of thunder or rain.

Many people with good eyesight will see a yellow light leaping out from the northern ridge, then rushing straight into the sky, the light becoming weaker and weaker until it exceeds the limit of what the naked eye can observe.

However, the roar still came faintly from the sky, from far away to near, then gradually farther away until it disappeared.

Many people didn't know what it was, but that didn't stop them from guessing. Some said it was a cannonball, some said it was a meteor, and only a few knowledgeable people guessed that it should be a missile.

After the missile flies over the 30-kilometer altitude line, it becomes difficult to observe with optical equipment on the ground, but the equipped missile tracking radar can still track the missile easily.

The radars installed on the mountains on both sides of the base were also tracking and recording the missile data. Every few seconds, the radar guards would send the data to Wang Jiankun's text message machine, and Wang Jiankun would also let Zhizi do the calculations in his mind.

Four minutes later, the missile had flown over the 4-kilometer horizon and passed the location called the Karman line. The missile was considered to have arrived in space, but the air density here was still a bit high. Generally, spacecraft have to operate at an altitude of more than 100 kilometers.

However, after the missile crossed this horizontal line, the acceleration became a little greater. At this time, most of the fuel had been consumed. At the same time, the air resistance was greatly reduced compared to the ground, and the effect of the earth's gravity was also much smaller.

After passing over Magao, the missile had reached its highest point, and the radar showed that it was 203 kilometers from the ground.

After reaching the highest point, the missile began to change direction, from sloping upward to horizontal, and after flying for about 10 kilometers, it turned downward again.

At this time, the missile has both the thrust of the engine and the effect of gravity acceleration, and its speed is getting faster and faster.

However, there was not much fuel left in the engine at this time, and it burned out after working for about 20 seconds, and the speed reached Mach 3.

At this time, the target near Myitkyina was less than 10 kilometers away, and the onboard computer was still constantly adjusting the direction of the missile based on the data from the inertial navigation system.

At this time, observers near the target could already see a slightly reddish object falling from the sky, and then turned into a black shadow and flashed through their sight.

"Boom. Two loud noises were heard."

This is the sound of missiles landing and ammunition exploding. If you don't listen carefully, you can only hear the roar.

The observer saw through the telescope that a white circle with a diameter of 30 meters had been covered by the smoke from the missile explosion. The surrounding grass and trees rustled, and some thinner trees were broken by the strong wind.

Although the observer had been told that a powerful missile would soon explode at the target, he did not expect it to be so powerful.

He had been an observer in a 500 kg guided bomb test before, but this missile was much more powerful than that bomb, and he could hardly detect the target.

It took only 10 seconds from the appearance of a small red dot in the sky to the missile hitting the ground and exploding. Moreover, he could not see the missile's trajectory in the last 10 seconds, which shows that the missile was very fast.

After the roar stopped, he picked up his text message machine and reported that the missile had successfully landed and exploded. As for the specific landing point, he and other personnel had to go and measure it.

Five minutes later, six data collectors came to the large pit caused by the explosion. Two of them were responsible for measuring the coordinates of the landing point. The center of the pit was where the missile touched the ground.

The other four people began to measure the size and height of the pit, as well as the shrapnel and bullet holes on some steel and wooden targets erected around it.

After these data are collected, they will be sent back to Wang Jiankun. Zhizi will calculate based on these data to determine the accuracy of the missile, damage radius, etc.

It took about half an hour to collect the data near the landing point.

While the team was collecting data, another ground-to-ground missile was launched. This missile was also aimed near Myitkyina, but 5 kilometers away from the impact point.

Half an hour later, people at the old base heard the rumbling sound across the sky again.

This time, some people equipped with telescopes began to use them to search for the source of the sound.

The ground-to-ground missile in the ascending phase is still easy to find because the tail is accompanied by a ball of fire and white smoke, which is very eye-catching in the clear night sky.

"Huo, where did we get such a big missile? It feels like a dream. We only had individual missiles not long ago, and then we had airplanes, which can also launch missiles. Now we have missiles this big."

"Yes, Lao Zhang, you are well-informed. Do you know where these weapons come from?"

"What, did you forget the confidentiality agreement, Old Liu? Even if I knew, I couldn't tell you."

"Hey, I'm at the same level as you, if you know it, why can't I know it?"

"I'm not going to tell you. Don't ask."

"I see you don't know either, just pretending."

The two battalion commanders were bickering while watching the missiles flying high into the sky through binoculars.

However, after just over a minute, the missile flew out of the limit of their vision. The two men put down their binoculars and went back to the operations room to review the upcoming battle plan.

The second missile landed and exploded more than 9 minutes after launch. The observer in front reported that the missile had hit the target, but the exact accuracy of the hit still had to wait for further measurements. The observer judged that the missile had hit the target when he saw that it was covered in smoke and dust.

However, if the smoke covers the target, then its landing point will be at least 50 meters away from the target, which is also within the 80-meter damage radius of the missile.

At 9: in the evening, all the landing point data of the two missiles were sent back. After Wang Jiankun sorted it out with Zhizi, he informed the members of the operation team of the news that the target was hit accurately.

Then I explained to my uncle in detail the test data of the D-300 missile.

The impact points of the two missiles were 26 meters and 31 meters away from the center of the target respectively, with a destructive radius of 80 meters, which is equivalent to the explosion of 10 tons of TNT.

The 5-ton explosive equivalent certainly does not mean that the missile is loaded with 10 tons of TNT. Its charge is only 860 kilograms, but it is loaded with high-explosive charge, and it also has the superimposed effect of the missile's Mach 3 speed.

Because the weight of the missile when it lands is close to 1.5 tons, even if it is not equipped with explosives, its power is not small just by hitting the ground at a speed of Mach 3.

Now that the test was successful, the next step is to launch a strike against Chen’s army.

My uncle asked Wang Jiankun to lead the ground-to-ground missile team to work all night. The group that had already launched the missile should install new missiles as soon as possible, and the group that had not launched the missile should quickly familiarize themselves with the weapons and equipment and wait for his orders.

The top leaders of the Southern Liberation Front have always had a plan in place to deal with Chen's army. Its field forces currently number 3, with 5 deployed near Myitkyina, guarding against government forces in the south while preparing to send forces to contain Chen's army in the south.

The other 2 men were now on the mountain of Laklagang, ready to go down the mountain and attack Chen's army's territory at any time.

After receiving the news from his uncle, Wang Jiankun quickly made arrangements.

"First team, please pay attention and install two missiles immediately. Other positions should check their respective modules and wait for the next attack."

"Yes, Team One received."

"Attention, Team Two. Deploy your battle formation immediately, measure the coordinates of the launch site, and erect the missiles so they are ready to launch at any time."

"Yes, the second team received it."

After receiving Wang Jiankun's order, the two D-300 combat teams began a series of operations under the command of their respective commanders.

"Three to six groups of personnel will work in pairs to familiarize themselves with the air defense missiles and be ready to attack at any time."

"Yes, Group 3 understands, Group 4 understands, Group 5 understands, Group 6 understands."

After receiving Wang Jiankun's order, the four teams ran towards the anti-aircraft missile positions. They had all launched an anti-aircraft missile and had a preliminary familiarity with the equipment.

There is a high possibility that they will not be required to take part in this battle against Chen's army, as Chen's army currently has no aircraft that are worthy of their use of this type of regional air defense missiles.

According to my uncle's information, Chen's army currently has only two small transport planes and two propeller fighters, both of which are equipment produced in the late World War II that were eliminated by the British. The fighter planes have not taken off for a long time, and it is not known whether they can still take off.

However, even if it can take off, its performance is far inferior to that of the Z-1 fighter, and it can only fight with machine guns and is not equipped with air-to-air missiles.

Time passed by little by little, and Wang Jiankun felt it was particularly long. From 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock, and until 3 o'clock, there was no order from his uncle.

It was not until 4: in the morning, when Wang Jiankun was almost asleep waiting in the command room, that the text message machine in his hand vibrated with the arrival of a message.

Wang Jiankun opened it and saw that they were two coordinates sent by his uncle. Wang Jiankun combined the global map in his mind and found that one was the border town of Katonga located in Chen Jiajun's territory, and the other was Magao, the heartland of Chen Jiajun's territory.

Following the two coordinates are my uncle’s request.

He asked Wang Jiankun to fire two missiles at both target locations, and make sure both hit the targets, because these two locations were where the two leaders of Chen's army and their main subordinates rested.

What Wang Jiankun didn't know was that the Southern Liberation Army had already made plans to decapitate Chen's army. It had been sending intelligence personnel to find the resting place of the leaders of Chen's army and was preparing to send Z-1 fighter jets carrying laser-guided bombs to eliminate them.

However, laser-guided bombs require the cooperation of several people, and the equipment is not small in size. The main leaders of Chen Jiajun live in places with strict security. If they cannot get close to indicate the exact target, the laser-guided bomb will not have the decapitation effect and will also alert the enemy.

Now that we have this kind of ground-to-ground missile, things will be much easier. Observers have already found several resting spots for Chen Jiajun’s leaders.

This time, after receiving the order, he calculated the coordinates of several rest points and reported them to the rear.

It was not until 4: in the morning that my uncle sent me the resting place of the leaders of the Chen family army, which had been repeatedly confirmed by front-line observers. So as long as the missile can hit the target accurately, the Chen family army will be in a state of disarray.

After receiving the information, Wang Jiankun immediately issued the order.

"Attention, Team One. Target is ** degrees east longitude, ** degrees north latitude, 760 meters above sea level. Two rounds of fire. Two minutes to prepare."

"Received. Longitude ** degrees east, latitude ** degrees north, altitude 760 meters, two rounds in a row."

"Attention, Team Two. Target is ** degrees east longitude, ** degrees north latitude, 460 meters above sea level. Two rounds of fire, 100 minute, ready in seconds."

"Received. Longitude ** degrees east, latitude ** degrees north, altitude 460 meters, two rounds in a row."

The commanders of the two combat groups received the information, repeated it, and then immediately issued a series of orders.

Two minutes later, the first surface-to-surface missile was launched, and then 2 seconds later, the second surface-to-surface missile was launched, followed by the third and fourth.

This night was a very lively night for the Southern Liberation Front base in northern Myanmar. Two rocket launchers were released in the first half of the night, and four more rocket launchers were fired in rapid succession in the early morning. Many people were awakened by the continuous rumbling sound.

As for the leaders of Chen's army, they would no longer see the sun that morning, as the four ground-to-ground missiles that were about to land would send them directly into the sky.

After all the missiles were launched into the air, Wang Jiankun reported the information to his uncle, asking him to notify the front-line personnel to pay attention and observe. If the landing point was deviated, he would arrange for a follow-up shot.

At this time, the two combat teams that had completed the launch began to engage in intensive loading work, ready to be able to fire at any time to ensure that Chen's army was destroyed in one go.
