Dudududududududududuudu

Numerous amphibious ships, amphibious choppers, and small tugboats were moving back and forth endlessly to move supplies across the beach. The peaceful beach was now covered with boot prints and craters formed by explosions from missiles and cannon rounds. The smell of gun powder had filled the remnants of the burnt defensive structures.

A non-commanding marine officer, in full battle gear and with a rank of master sergeant, was yelling at the top of his lungs at the soldiers moving the supplies.

“Hey! Keep moving! You bastards, I’ve seen maggots faster than you!”

Division Commander Ahn Gang-jun, who had been watching the scene from his K-22M commanding armored vehicle, checked his watch and gave the order to his Operations Director.

“We are short on time. Have each regiment work faster to occupy the cities, and have the ‘magpie viper’ regiment move to the confirmed target area and begin their strike.”

“Yes, Commander.”

The Operations Director answered immediately and relayed the deployment order to each regiment through the Communications Operator.

Fully armed marines were boarding the dozens of KUH-M50 Super Surion choppers lined along the beach. When they finished boarding, the first chopper in line began to spin its rotors, took off into the air while kicking off the sand. A moment later, 36 amphibious choppers filled the skies and the magpie viper emblem on the bottom of the choppers could be seen from below.

If the 1st Marine Division had its own “Spartan 3K” strike regiment, the 2nd Marine Division also had its own named the “Magpie viper.” The 5th Aerial Strike Force Battalion’s 200 marines rode on their Super surion choppers and flew off at high speed in all directions to head toward the target radar bases.

Vroo~ Vroom~ Vrooom

On the other side of the beach, 36 K-23P-M Hyum-mu armored vehicles standing by at the parking lot began to start their engines. White smoke was coming out of their exhaust pipes. Between the parked armored vehicles, fully armed marines were busy moving around and making preparations. The K-23P-M armored vehicles also had the magpie viper emblems painted on their side panels. These vehicles were part of the magpie viper regiment’s strike force as well.

“This is the Battalion Commander. Move out, starting from vehicle 101.”

When the Commander gave the order through the 6th Mobile Strike Battalion’s communication line, 101 armored vehicles lead the way and the 35 others followed to form a long convoy. A moment later, the 36 armored vehicles that came into the wide intersection split in all directions to head to their destinations.

“Commander, the 5th and 6th Battalions from the magpie viper regiment are heading to their destinations.”

The Operations Director came up to the Division Commander watching the movements of his forces inside the Commander’s armored vehicle and gave a report.

“What about the 2nd Armored Battalion’s location?”

“Yes, sir. They have broken through the cities of Yentai and standing by here.”

The area the Operations Director pointed out on the digital map was the plains area between Yentai and Chisha provinces connected by the S802 highway.

“What about the enemy’s leading forces?”

“The 26th Army Group’s 8th Armored Division has passed Chisha and on the move. The 8th Artillery Division is at its rear to support them. The 199th Infantry Division marching from Weihai is 18 kilometers away from Muping-gu, the eastern side of Yentai Province, sir.”

“What is our response?”

“The 1st and 2nd Regiment will defend against the 199th Infantry Division’s march, and the artillery regiment will also aid them, sir.”

“The issue is China’s 8th Armored Division. Check with the navy again about the attack chopper aid. If we face an entire armored division with a mere armored battalion, then we might get wiped out.”

“Yes, sir. I will make sure of it.”

December 17, 2020, 10:35 (China Standard Time 09:35), in the skies above Rinzu Mountain, Yentai Province, China

The 2 KUH-M50 Super surion choppers were flying past the Rinzu Mountain at 350km/h in a low altitude. But due to its high-power microwave outputs (HPM), the anti-air base’s radars were jammed instantly. In a short time, each chopper raised its altitude and launched two S-AGM-20 short-ranged missiles toward the blinded anti-air bases.

Wooosh~ Wooosh~ Wooosh~ Wooosh~

The four rounds of S-AGM-20 missiles all flew in an arc and exploded on contact with the Chinese radar bases.

Boom! Booom!

After four consecutive explosions struck the radar base, the choppers began to pour down plasma rockets and 22mm laser Vulcan beams, setting the area in flames and tossing shrapnel in all directions.

While the 2 KUH-M50 Super surion choppers were suppressing firing, a rope fell down and marines began to rappel down while positioning themselves in an L shape. The 66 marines that landed all crouched down and took cover while slowly advancing toward the radar base.

Vroo~ Vrooo~

The Chinese soldiers who survived the suppressing gunfire began to fire back using their heavy weapons and rifles.

However, when they did so, the choppers poured down more suppressive fire at them, and the marines used the opportunity to quickly close the distance.

The 6th Platoon also covered fire for the marines from the ground. The 5th Platoon Commander, who had reached the Chinese radar base first, gave an order to each of the squadron leaders. The eight marine squadrons began to aim and fired their 30-mm smoke rounds, causing white smoke to spread out and cover the visibility of the Chinese soldiers.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

“First squadron to the left, the second to the right, third squadron center, and the firearms squadron continue firing.”

The Platoon Commander gave the final order with a hand signal.

The eight men from the firearms squadron all began to spray their personal weapons. The two KS3 mini machine guns sprayed 8mm laser beams in all directions.

pew pew pew pew~ pew pew pew pew~

The flying laser beams all pierced through the cement walls and a few of them flew through the opposing wall. The piercing power of the laser beams torn the hiding Chinese soldiers to shreds, while the 30-mm smart grenades blew up after flying toward their set targets.

Twenty minutes later, the 5th and 6th Marine Platoon took over a radar base being defended by a company-sized force. Then the various surface-to-air missiles and operating computers were destroyed by a time bomb. There were 20 captives, the radar operators were executed, and the rest were released. The marines took the chopper to return back to base.

December 17, 2020, 10:30 (China Standard Time 09:30), Pon-grai International Airport, Yentai Province, China

Boo boo booo booom~ Boo boo booo booom~ Boo boo booo booom~

A heavy sound of cannon fire rang out across the Pon-grai International Airport.

A dozen K-23P-M Hyun-mu armored vehicles rolled into the Pon-grai International Airport, from which a hundred marine soldiers alighted. They then dispersed and occupied the airport. With the start of the war, the Chinese military had ceased all commercial flights coming from the airport due to the threat of war, but a few anti-air forces and the 7th Chopper Regiment’s 511th Battalion had been stationed there. So the airport was a targeted location for an attack.

The surface-to-land missiles from the Hocula destroyers that fell on the airport before the landing mission destroyed the runway and waiting rooms. The latest Z-10 attack choppers belonging to the 511th Chopper Battalion were burning on the runway, but the rest of them had fled. However, the Korean forces were repositioning themselves and conducting maintenance to make additional attacks.

The Hyun-mu armored vehicles had sent out the marines at the airport waiting room and entered the wide runway after trampling over some fences. Then the armored vehicles began to fire armor-piercing rounds to the Chinese anti-air armored vehicles along with the 50mm plasma cluster bombs, rockets, and laser Vulcan beams.

Pew pew pew pew pew pew~ Vroooo~ Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~

Booom~ Bang! Boooom!

The laser beams split the concrete each time they were sprayed onto the runway. The type PGZ-07 anti-air self-propelled guns three kilometers ahead were covered in bullets. The high-temperature laser Vulcan beams caused the metal holes it made to melt. Within the armored vehicle’s interior, numerous colors of smoke rose and pieces of unrecognizable human flesh were scattered everywhere.

Boom!

Ear-deafening sounds filled the air as numerous type PGZ-07 self-propelled gun tanks began to explode. The tank crew all hastily pointed their 35-mm twin-barreled Vulcans to the Korean armored vehicles.

Boo Boo Boo Boom~ Boo Boo Boo Boom~

The new sensors installed on the type PGZ-07 armored vehicles made a mechanical whirl and sprayed the 35mm HEI (high-explosive incendiary) rounds at the Korean Hyun-mu armored vehicles. Numerous rounds caused sparks leading to an explosion. However, the Korean marine’s K-23P-M Hyun-mu armored vehicle’s hydronium alloy could withstand up to 800mm rounds. They were capable of withstanding most 125mm cannon rounds.

Creaaaaak! Whirl~ Vrooo!

Unfortunately, the high-explosive incendiary had struck the Hyun-mu armored vehicle’s tires, causing one of them to slip and tip over. The two crewmen aboard sustained minor bruises and scrapes but no serious injuries.

The K-23P-M Hyun-mu armored vehicle was designed with wheels instead of tires to increase its mobility since the strike forces using them valued speed.

The Korean Hyun-mu armored vehicles wove in and out of the line of fire of 40 35mm Vulcan guns and sprayed their 50mm plasma cluster rockets into the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The 50mm plasma cluster rockets flew in an arc and one of them engulfed the type PGZ-07 armored vehicles in flames like a lion swallowing its prey. All the Chinese armored vehicles were destroyed and the Korean forces sped toward their true and final target, the HQ-22(Hongqi-22) vehicles.

The HQ-22 vehicles were taken by surprise by the sudden attack of the Korean marines. The vehicles hastily sped toward the opposite direction to flee. However, they were caught by the Korean forces and were blown to smithereens by their 50mm cluster rockets and 22mm laser Vulcan beams. Some of the HQ-22 vehicles had their rockets explode in fire and caused additional damages.

Meanwhile, the marines deployed into the airport waiting room began to arrest the airport staff posing as citizens, armed policemen, and anti-air brigade soldiers.

Throughout the afternoon the strike brigade’s activities were successful across the area. Most of the anti-air radars and forces near the outer regions of Yentai were taken out and destroyed.
