Chapter 273
"Protest!"
"We strongly protest Shinhan's illegal coercion of our pilots and the seizure of several transport planes, which is a serious provocation.
In order to avoid deepening the conflict between the two countries, we urge Shinhan to immediately release our pilots and return the relevant materials.
And apologize to our Universe.
Severely punish the relevant responsible persons..."
After learning that the three transport planes bound for Java were forcibly detained by Shinhan, South Korea responded quickly. Its ambassador to Shinhan immediately asked to meet with Wang Haishan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Shinhan.
Strongly protested Shinhan's behavior.
At the same time, it also put pressure on Shinhan in public opinion.
After the news was exposed, it triggered widespread heated discussions.
Especially the South Koreans with strong self-esteem and fragile hearts were indignant.
Hot discussions on the Internet demanded that all South Koreans boycott Shinhan products.
On the Internet, netizens from various countries had different opinions.
"Well done. You know that the two countries are at war, but you still send weapons to Java. This is clearly a disrespect to them. Since you don't give them face, they will naturally confiscate them."
"Haha, if it were me, there would be no need to confiscate them. Just shoot them down."
"This South Korea is really funny. They are at war, and you send weapons and ammunition to one of them. They will naturally be unhappy. It is normal to confiscate the supplies."
"If it were you, just confiscate them directly."
"Tsk tsk, 3 C-130J transport planes, I just checked, they were bought in 2012, and they are still worth two or three hundred million US dollars. I strongly suggest that Shinhan confiscate these weapons."
There are people who agree, and there are naturally people who oppose.
"What does Shinhan mean? They dare to seize our pilots and supplies? They are so audacious."
"Even if South Korea really transported weapons to Java, they were flying in the airspace above the high seas. Shinhan's blatant violation of international norms and seizing supplies is a serious violation of international law."
"Shinhan is too domineering, but South Korea asked for it."
Each person has his own reasons.
Faced with South Korea's protest, Shinhan was vague.
It admitted the seizure, but it was not possible to return the aircraft.
As for the pilots, they can be released immediately. Shinhan did not treat the pilots as prisoners.
They were just arranged to stay in a hotel and someone was watching them.
South Korea was naturally dissatisfied with Shinhan's reply.
However, this was not the end.
Soon, it was reported that several South Korean cargo ships were seized by the Shinhan Navy on suspicion of carrying biological weapons and drugs.
At the same time, Shinhan Royal Oil Company announced that it would increase the price of oil and natural gas exports to South Korea.
And impose tariffs on South Korean cars exported to Shinhan.
South Korea was completely out of temper.
The Strait of Malacca is a major transportation route for South Korea's exports.
It is also the main route for energy imports. For South Korea, it is a lifeline.After the cut-off, it undoubtedly had a major impact on the South Korean economy.
After these two attacks, South Korea changed its previous tough attitude.
First, it emphasized the friendly relations between the two countries.
Then it announced that the arms export contract signed with Java was invalidated due to internal opposition.
New Han also stopped detaining South Korean cargo ships, but that was a later story.
After taking control of South Korea, New Han increased its attack on Palembang.
The 2nd Armored Division, under emergency transportation, only took two days to transport an armored division to Sumatra.
After resting for half a day, it launched an attack on Lampung Province.
Because the main force was besieged in Palembang.
So there was almost no resistance in South Sumatra Province, and there were only small forces. Under the torrent of steel, they quickly surrendered or retreated to the south.
By January 8, New Ham had taken Jambi, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, West Sumatra, and Bangka Belitung.
The latter was taken by the Marines when the Army attacked Palembang.
And it planned to build a naval base on Upper Belitung Island in Bangka Belitung.
And the 2nd Armored Division was also attacking Bandar Lampung in Nanbang Province, which was the only two strongholds of Java in the southern part of Sumatra.
(The other one was Palembang)
Different from attacking Palembang, the attack on Bandar Lampung was different from the attack on Palembang.
The 2nd Armored Division directly set up artillery.
Gathered 99 Vulcan R rocket launchers (HIMARS rocket launchers) and more than 130 howitzers of various types from the entire division.
With the assistance of dozens of reconnaissance and strike drones in the air, a large-scale firepower coverage was carried out towards the city.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With the pouring of a large amount of artillery fire, the whole city of Bandar Lampung was filled with explosions.
A large number of houses collapsed.
Some so-called defensive fortresses also became like paper under the large-caliber heavy artillery.
Java soldiers were constantly killed.
The commander, a major general sent from Jakarta, who was responsible for defending the city, stared at the scene of dust and bricks flying in front of him.
He swallowed and took a breath.
He had not participated in the war on Kalimantan before.
He had heard that the firepower of the Xinhan army was strong, and today he saw it thoroughly.
Is this the firepower of a fucking division?
Why does it feel stronger than the firepower of several military regions.
At this moment, his scalp was a little numb.
How to fight with such powerful firepower?
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
As if the shells were free.
The shelling lasted for half an hour before it stopped.
Just when he thought the shelling was over and ordered all the troops in the city to be on high alert to defend against the attack of the Xinhan army.
The dozens of reconnaissance and strike drones flying in the sky slowly opened up.The racks were set.
One after another, air-to-ground missiles dived down to the ground at high speed.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sudden explosion made the Javanese defenders in the city think that Xinhan was going to bombard again, but they did not see the flight trajectory of the shells.
It was not until someone saw the missiles falling all over the sky that they realized that the air force had been dispatched.
Compared to the indiscriminate attack of ground troops' artillery.
UAV guidance is undoubtedly more accurate.
When they caught the suspicious building target, they would attack it crazily.
Until the suspicious target was completely destroyed, they would switch to the next target.
"Damn it!"
"Don't the shells and missiles of Xinhan cost money?"
Seeing the missiles falling continuously and his men being blown up, Major General Java's eyes turned red.
Java is a non-industrial country.
All its weapons are imported.
Their weapons production capacity is comparable to that of Annan.
Even assault rifles are imported.
Such a country, and a poor one at that, how can it arm itself?
Not to mention such a saturation attack.
That is, Annan is far away from Java.
If it were a neighboring country like Cambodia and Laos. (To read the violent novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
I am afraid that Java would have been swallowed up long ago.
Although Annan’s weapons and equipment are not good, its fighting spirit is one of the best in Southeast Asia.
After half an hour of bombing, a large number of houses collapsed in Nanbang City.
It was like a ruin.
There were not many intact ones.
And such a large-scale bombing also caused heavy casualties to the Javanese defenders.
At least thousands of people were killed and injured.
As for civilians, let alone.
Especially the ports, which were destroyed.
However, before the war, a large number of civilians had already chosen to leave Nanbang and fled to Java Island.
After dropping hundreds of air-to-ground missiles.
The bombing ended.
"Huh!"
"It's finally over!"
Major General Java breathed a sigh of relief. []
It's really uncomfortable to be beaten passively.
Rumble...
After the bombing, ground armor and infantry began to advance into the city.
While advancing, drones from the brigades, battalions, and even the division's drone regiments of the armored division covered the sky and flew into the city.
Most of them were small drones.
The number was as high as three or four thousand.
This is still an armored division.
If it were a synthetic division, it would be estimated that there would be tens of thousands of drones of all kinds.
However, Xinhan currently does not have a fully-formed synthetic division.
Most of them are not fully equipped.
A large number of drones appeared over the city of Bandar Lampung, blocking the ground forces from attacking the areaThe surface situation is clearly seen.
“.～Da Da Da!”
“Bang Bang Bang!”
After seeing the drone, some Javanese soldiers picked up their assault rifles or directly set up machine guns to fire.
However, when the bullets flew to high altitudes, they were affected by the wind speed.
The accuracy rate was very low.
In addition, the flight distance of the drone is relatively high, generally around 500 meters high.
By zooming in the optical lens above the drone, the ground situation can be seen clearly.
And after seeing the firepower point, some "Tiger" attack aircraft carrying grenades also kindly sent two "grenades" to cheer for them.
Send them to see their Allah.
In addition to drones, some combat troops are also equipped with robot dogs.
This thing is very useful in fighting in the city.
"Boom!"
In a civilian house, several Javanese elements fired at the robot dog.
The robot dog also fought back under the control of the operator.
Fired dozens of bullets and easily eliminated several Javanese soldiers hiding in the corner.
If there were no robot dogs.
If people forcibly attack such enemies hiding inside the building (good) , there is a high probability that they will have to pay a price.
Now the appearance of robot dogs has solved the big problem of the difficulty of fighting street battles.
The news of the fall came from all directions.
Major General Java panicked.
While ordering everyone to hold on, he asked his confidants to prepare the retreat ship.
Yes.
He was ready to slip away.
The firepower was not equal.
And they didn't care about the people in the city.
How to fight?
Plus, he had a small number of troops.
After being bombarded, he had even fewer troops.
Anyway, he couldn't bear it.
Soon, the Javanese army found that their own people were getting fewer and fewer.
And they learned that the officials had run away.
Now, the morale of the Javanese soldiers defending the city collapsed.
If the officials had run away, what would they do with their lives?
They turned around and ran away.
A large number of remaining Javanese soldiers fled to the port and wanted to leave by boat.
So, the boat that could only carry 200 people ended up carrying 400 or 500 people.
It didn't matter in the shallow sea area, but in the middle of the strait, the waves were much bigger.
Some seriously overloaded ships were overturned by a big wave.
There were many casualties.
Those who didn't get on the boat threw away their weapons, took off their military uniforms, changed into civilian clothes, and hid.
(Ps: I've abbreviated the war scene... I'm not very good at describing the war~.~ Although I don't think so myself... I'll still speed up the process!).
