The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 186 The big weapon that determines the outcome of the exercise

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded and said: "The next modification is the real tank killer!"

The second drone Zhang Zhipeng modified was a magazine-like device in the middle of the quadcopter drone. This "magazine" can hold five small 5-kg armor-piercing bombs.

Just open the bottom of the "magazine" and a bomb will fall.

This armor-piercing high-explosive bomb contains shaped charge ammunition that uses the Monroe effect to penetrate armor.

When the bomb warhead detonates, the detonation energy generated by the explosion melts the powder cover in the warhead into a metal jet.

High-speed metal jets can penetrate homogeneous steel armor six to seven times the diameter of the charge.

Zhang Zhipeng explained the role he hopes to play after modifying his drone: when the drone discovers the opponent's tank, it immediately flies above the tank, locks the top of the tank through the infrared sight, drops the bomb, and uses the metal jet to Crush the top of the tank and kill the crew inside the tank, thereby destroying the tank.

After a small high-explosive armor-piercing bomb is thrown down, the bombs behind it are immediately loaded, and the drone can immediately target the next prey.

After listening to Zhang Zhipeng's explanation, Qiu Haotian, Li Yunfeng and others were surprised and happy.

If this is true, then wouldn’t all the tanks discovered by drones become tin cans waiting to be opened?
Li Yunfeng rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "How about we try it? See if it has any effect?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Of course!"

"But I'm afraid we need to find a thick enough steel plate as a target to see the effect."

Li Yunfeng waved his hand and said, "What steel plate are you looking for?"

"In our Zhurihe base, we have ready-made abandoned old tanks, which are specially used as targets."

"I'll have one towed over right away!"

Li Yunfeng immediately asked someone to drag in an old abandoned tank.

The tank was placed in a wooded area and camouflaged.

Zhang Zhipeng waited for the target to be placed, and he immediately released the drone.

He first flew the drone to an altitude of 500 meters so that it could scan a wide area.

Soon, he found the old tank in the woods.

He quickly controlled the drone to fly above the tank and descended to about 100 meters.

The infrared sight function was activated and the old tank was locked.

Then he pressed a button, and a small high-explosive armor-piercing bomb was dropped.

That is really steady and ruthless!
"boom!"

People watching the test from a distance saw a firework explosion wave rising from the well-camouflaged tank.

Li Yunfeng's eyes widened and he murmured: "How can such a good disguise be seen through?"

"Isn't it found too quickly?"

Qiu Haotian was very excited, pumped his fist and laughed: "Haha! As Comrade Zhipeng said, this thing is a powerful tank weapon!"

"Comrade Yunfeng, let's go over and take a look now?"

Several people ran to the abandoned tank with its cover opened.

When they looked at it, good guys, a big hole had been blown open on the top of the tank.

The interior space of the tank is also filled with smoke.

This is the real one that penetrates the soul!

When Li Yunfeng saw this, he turned around and gave Zhang Zhipeng a bear hug. He laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha! Comrade Zhipeng, thank you so much! I found that this drone will really be It’s possible to develop into a tank killer!”

Qiu Haotian on the side couldn't help but correct Li Yunfeng: "Comrade Yunfeng, it's not possible, but it is an absolute tank killer!"

"And, not only is it a tank killer, it can also be the best forward reconnaissance equipment!"

"With it, we can quickly discover the opponent's artillery positions and troop mobilization, and then launch a lightning strike!"

"It can really change the situation on the battlefield!"

Li Yunfeng laughed, nodded and said, "You're right! I'm still too conservative!"

"Comrade Haotian, with this thing, do you think you can defeat the Blue Brigade led by Zhou Mingke?"

Qiu Haotian puffed up his chest and said, "Of course!"

"Even if we don't have a drone, we are still confident that we can beat him!"

Li Yunfeng nodded and said: "Very good!"

"Then, let's prepare for the drill right away!"

"I hope you can get a good result in the exercise!"

……

However, it was said that after Zhou Mingke, the commander of the Blue Brigade, returned to his unit's station, while preparing a combat plan for the exercise, he was also thinking about how to crack the Red Army Brigade's drone advantage.

The drone flying above the head is really a big threat to the blue brigade!
Because, no matter how well you disguise yourself, it's still possible for you to show off.

Once the opponent discovers the position layout, the blue team may immediately fall into crisis.

He was locking himself in the war room, frowning and thinking hard.

The door was pushed open gently.

A young officer came in.

"Report! Man Guangzhi comes and reports to Comrade Mingke!"

The person who came was none other than Man Guangzhi.

This famous brigade commander of the Blue Brigade in his previous life is now just a young man who has just stepped out of school.

Zhou Mingke glanced at Man Guangzhi, nodded and said, "Sit down!"

Man Guangzhi sat down.

The young man was sitting there with his back straight, as if he were a powerful man with a golden sword.

Zhou Mingke smiled and said: "Xiao Man, you have been coming to our trip for a while, right?"

Man Guangzhi puffed up his chest: "Comrade Mingke, I have been working in the brigade for 21 days."

Zhou Mingke nodded with a smile and said, "I called you here today, mainly because I have something to do and I want to see if you have any ideas."

The main reason why Zhou Mingke called Man Guangzhi over was because Zhang Zhipeng mentioned Man Guangzhi.

Zhou Mingke thought to himself, since Zhang Zhipeng had heard about this young man Man Guangzhi, then he should have some ability, right?
Zhou Mingke introduced the situation of the Red Army to Man Guangzhi.

In particular, it focused on the fact that the Red Army Brigade will be helped by the drones just developed by Zhang Zhipeng.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Mingke asked: "Xiao Man, look, how can we break the reconnaissance threat to our position posed by the Red Army's small drones?"

Man Guangzhi scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "I think this matter is not easy to handle!"

"If drones want to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance of our positions, we will definitely not be able to hit their drones with snipers."

The effective range of a sniper rifle is only 2000 meters at most.

If you shoot at high-altitude targets, the effective range will be greatly reduced.

Since the drone developed by Zhang Zhipeng can fly up to 3000 meters, ordinary weapons will not be effective against it.

Maybe you can try an anti-aircraft machine gun or anti-aircraft cannon.

But as long as the opponent keeps flying at an altitude of 3000 meters, both of these are useless.

Man Guangzhi thought for a while and said, "Comrade Mingke, let's not think about shooting down their drones."

"I think we should take the initiative first!"

"Find a group of Red Army brigade uniforms and pretend to be their people."

"We will go deep into their position. While conducting reconnaissance, we will look for the place where the drone is released."

"As long as we can find the place where the drone is flying and kill all the people who control the drone, won't the drone fall into our hands?"

After hearing this, Zhou Mingke laughed and gave a thumbs up to Man Guangzhi: "That's awesome!"

"As expected of a top student from our National University of Science and Technology, his brain is really good!"

"Then let's do that!"

……

The red and blue team exercise war has begun!

The positions on both sides are clearly defined, and all kinds of formations have been completed.

After Qiu Haotian started the exercise, he immediately ordered the release of two drones.

These two drones can survey the entire battlefield.

The terminal receiving device for controlling the drone can be a small screen on the remote control, or it can directly input the images detected by the drone onto a large screen in the combat command room.

Not long after the drone took off, the combat staff discovered a clue: a group of people wearing Red Army brigade uniforms were quietly groping from the blue position to the Red Army position.

His movements are sneaky and not normal at first glance.

After receiving the report, Qiu Haotian immediately issued an order: Let them in first! Follow them quietly to see what they want to do.

As a result, this team of blue "spies" thought they had entered the Red Army's position without anyone noticing.

After coming in, they immediately began to move aggressively, looking around for a place to fly the drone.

However, they soon discovered that something was wrong: because, on the Red Army brigade's position, they saw almost no personnel from the other side.

I searched very far inside, but could not find the place where the drone was released, nor did I find any valuable targets.

The leader of the blue team who broke into the Red Army's position was none other than Man Guangzhi.

Man Guangzhi felt more and more that something was not right.

Therefore, he hurriedly called on the blue team he led to retreat quickly.

However, it was already too late. Just as they were about to withdraw, soldiers from the Red Army brigades began to appear in all directions.

They began to shoot violently at Man Guangzhi and others.

After a while, red smoke came out of these people's helmets.

They were all killed and could only collapse on the spot and quit the exercise.

But he said that Zhou Mingke, the commander of the blue side, was still waiting for Man Guangzhi to bring him good news, but Man Guangzhi took his people out for a long time and there was no news.

Zhou Mingke already knew that the situation was not good.

He quickly ordered the snipers to be ready to see if there was an opponent's drone flying in the sky, and if they found it, they would immediately shoot and try to shoot it down.

However, Qiu Haotian said that at this moment, Qiu Haotian was already issuing attack orders based on the opponent's troop formation discovered by the drone.

The two sides of the exercise began to engage in fierce "firefights."

Because of the eyes of drones in the sky, the Red Army brigade obviously had a great advantage in intelligence. Therefore, after the two sides began confrontation exercises, the Blue Army suffered heavy losses.

However, Zhou Mingke is also an excellent commander.

His commanding ability was quite good, he quickly adjusted his tactics and tenaciously defended his position.

However, Qiu Haotian was standing in the combat command room, and he had been staring at the big screen hanging on the wall of the command room.

The drone in the sky didn't even notice the shadow of the opponent's tank.

This is really a bit incredible.

However, Qiu Haotian then thought about it: It was estimated that the opponent's tanks were hidden. This is called preserving strength.

Maybe he was waiting for the opportunity, preparing to use the tank's advantage to launch a charge.

The drones provided by Zhang Zhipeng can only fly in the air for a maximum of one hour.

In order to ensure that there is at least one drone in the sky, Qiu Haotian only allows one drone to take off at a time.

Just like that, the exercises continued and the battle continued.

The Red Army is already rapidly wiping out the Blue's effective forces and advancing towards the Blue's battlefield hinterland. But he said that the blue commander Zhou Mingke was standing on a high ground at this time.

He had put on a comprehensive disguise. Even from the sky, it would not be easy to spot him.

Zhou Mingke felt a little anxious at this time.

"What's going on? Didn't the sniper notice the opponent's drone in the sky?"

Zhou Mingke said a little angrily.

He raised the telescope in his hand and looked up at the sky.

A staff officer on the side said: "Comrade Mingke, their drone is so small. If it flies at an altitude of 3 meters, it will be difficult for us to detect it."

While the two people were talking, in the Red Army exercise combat command room, one of Qiu Haotian's staff members suddenly pointed at the screen on the wall and shouted: "Look! Comrade Zhou Mingke!"

Qiu Haotian hurriedly looked over, and he found that on the screen, the drone was zooming in on the camera.

Who is the one looking up at the sky with a telescope if it's not Blue Commander Zhou Mingke?

Qiu Haotian laughed: "Haha! I didn't expect that this old fox couldn't keep calm and showed up on his own!"

"Tell the drone operator to kill him!"

Flying above Zhou Mingke's head was a drone modified to carry a machine gun.

After receiving the order, the drone operator immediately took action.

The drone dropped to a height of one thousand meters.

Subsequently, the operator locked Zhou Mingke with an infrared sight and pressed the control button.

"Da da da!"

The machine gun fired a stream of medical lasers.

Poor Zhou Mingke was looking up at the sky with a telescope.

He saw the drone appear in the sky diagonally opposite.

A dark muzzle was pointed at him.

He just reacted and rolled away.

But, it's too late!
Along with a burst of gunfire, red smoke came out of the helmet on his head.

This shows that he has been "dead".

Zhou Mingke is so angry!
He never dreamed that he would be killed by a drone? !
This drone actually has a machine gun installed on it?
Moreover, this machine gun shooting is so accurate.

Zhou Mingke felt that his "death" was unjust!

Is this drone too powerful?

What the hell, after working on it for a long time, I was looking for it, and it was also looking for me everywhere? !

There was a burst of cheers in the Red Army exercise combat command room.

"Okay! Capture the thief first! Capture the king first! Let's kill Zhou Mingke!"

"Keep up the good work, comrades! Victory will definitely belong to us in the end!"

Qiu Haotian slammed the table and said loudly.

It was already dusk at this time.

As for both sides of the exercise, the fighting was becoming more and more intense at this moment.

The Red Army brigade was the attacking party.

The morale is like a rainbow at this moment!

Their personnel losses were much smaller than those of the blue team.

Their attacks were as if they had eyes and were very precise.

The blue side thought that their actions were very secretive, but little did they know that their every move was captured.

Once a force was discovered, it was immediately brutally attacked by the superior force of the Red Army.

After Zhou Mingke "died", he was succeeded by Liu Xiantong, the deputy brigade commander of the blue side, who took over command of the operations.

Liu Xiantong was already a little worried at this moment.

However, he still implemented Zhou Mingke's strategic arrangements.

It will be late at night before our advanced tanks are brought out for a decisive battle.

Now the loss of their troops is indeed very large, and they can no longer hold on.

Their only hope lies in the dozens of advanced tanks in their hands.

Time flies, and soon it’s past 11 o’clock in the night.

The battle in the exercise has gradually stopped.

Liu Xiantong immediately ordered and took advantage of the darkness to send more scouts to get a feel for the opponent's troop layout.

Soon, Liu Xiantong received important information: the location of the Red Army brigade headquarters!

Liu Xianyi gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.

He had to act quickly and send an elite force to raid the opponent's headquarters.

If the opponent's headquarters is destroyed, all commanders will die.

Then, the blue side can turn defeat into victory.

Liu Xiantong issued the order, and all the tanks and reserve soldiers of the blue side hidden somewhere coordinated with the infantry and tanks and began to drive towards the Red Army brigade headquarters.

Liu Xiantong was determined to win this time, so he moved at a very fast speed.

He was ready to end the fight within an hour!

He felt that his command this time might be able to create a perfect exercise example.

At this moment, Qiu Haotian was standing in front of the big screen in the command room, looking calmly at Lan Fang, who was advancing rapidly under the cover of night.

The drone in the sky captured the whole scene.

"Take action!"

"Release all drones! Goal: destroy the opponent's tanks!"

"At the same time, our people will immediately build an encirclement and strive to annihilate all this enemy as soon as possible!"

Qiu Haotian issued the order.

In the night, several drones flew over the blue force that was swooping forward.

When Liu Xiantong realized something was wrong, the simulated bomb on the drone had already been dropped on top of the blue tank.

The tank began to emit red smoke and issued a shrill warning sound:
"Tank No. 5 has been destroyed, exit the exercise immediately!"

"Tank No. 7 has been destroyed! Exit the exercise immediately!"

……

Good guy, in just a short period of time, the blue side was "destroyed" as many as 7 tanks.

There was chaos on the Blue side.

Liu Xiantong quickly organized his soldiers to shoot into the sky.

But at this time, the drone had quickly reached an altitude of at least two thousand meters.

A large number of Red Army soldiers came to cover them up.

Heavy weapons are also bombarding this coordinate.

Liu Xiantong didn't want to admit defeat. He knew that his side was already surrounded.

While organizing resistance, he wanted to withdraw from the encirclement.

But, it's too late.

Liu Xiantong felt that his opponent seemed to see his situation clearly in the dark night.

On the blue side, more and more tanks and soldiers are withdrawing from the exercise.

In the end, only Liu Xiantong and a few people were left to resist stubbornly in the encirclement.

At this moment, a radio broadcast sounded above Liu Xiantong’s head:

"Guys from the blue team, you are already in a hurry!"

"Disarm and surrender as soon as possible!"

Liu Xiantong put his body behind a chariot and looked up.

He took a "poof" and cursed, "You're riding a horse! We, the blue warriors, have no choice but to die in battle and have no choice but to surrender!"

Qiu Haotian's voice came from a loudspeaker mounted on the drone: "Haha! Liu Xiantong, I respect you as a man! However, you are all gone now!"

"Do you think it's possible to turn defeat into victory now?"

"I can clearly see where you are!"

Liu Xiantong raised his gun, aimed at a light spot above and fired.

However, the drone was flying too high and could not be reached at all!
Qiu Haotian's hearty laughter reached Liu Xiantong's ears again: "If you don't surrender, then you have no choice but to kill him! Hahaha!"

"Da da da!"

The machine gun on the drone above fired accurately.

The few remaining people on the blue side were also named out one by one.

The Red and Blue War exercise ended with the Red Army annihilating its opponents.

The Red Army's example of the weak defeating the strong quickly spread throughout the army!
The entire Army system was shaken.

Not only the army, but also the navy and air force were shocked.

They never expected that a small drone would become an important magic weapon to change the battlefield situation.

Originally, in the eyes of the army's top brass, the Red Army was likely to be defeated because its equipment was relatively poor.

However, just because of the addition of drones, the Red Army, which was originally in a weak position, actually won!

And the win was so clean! This is really beyond everyone’s expectation!

As a result, the drone created by Zhang Zhipeng instantly became popular.

The day after the red-blue confrontation exercise ended, Zhang Zhipeng got the final results of the exercise.

Regarding this result, he believes that it is a relatively normal situation.

However, the Army does not think so.

They believed that the performance of the drones in this exercise was miraculous!
Zhou Mingke, commander of the blue brigade who lost the exercise, shouted: "This is so unfair! If we had even one drone, we would not have lost the exercise that just ended!"

"Such a good baby, I strongly request that we equip it as soon as possible!"

"Comrade Yunfeng, you can't be too partial!"

Li Yunfeng smiled and punched Zhou Mingke lightly in the chest and said, "What's going on? You can't afford to lose?"

"Before the exercise, who said drones were useless?"

"Now you are starting to say that I am biased? Haha!"

Zhou Mingke said: "Leader, that was just a joke. I made a mistake in judgment! The drone built by Comrade Zhipeng is definitely a killer weapon on the battlefield!"

"For such a good thing, we must step up production and equip more troops!"

But Li Yunfeng shook his head and said: "UAVs are indeed a good thing, but I still feel that the Army cannot live without a more powerful main battle tank!"
