Chapter 28: People on the Battlefield

  This is the new function that the latest domestic tank has, in modern warfare, no matter how thick the armor of the tank is, how good the power is, and how large the caliber of the gun is, it will eventually be hit by large-caliber artillery and anti-tank missiles, especially artillery and top-attack anti-tank missiles. On the top position, the tank is unable to defend itself and will definitely be penetrated with one shot.

  Although our tanks are all equipped with active defense top strike counterattack systems, if the opponent is a saturation attack or an attack by a large-caliber artillery piece, this device will reduce its effectiveness and even lose reaction time. This is like the 167 just now, which was hit by two consecutive top-attack anti-tank missiles and destroyed.

  To address this weakness, China's military armor experts specially designed such an automatic weapon system to reduce casualties among tank crew members once and for all, as the loss of weapons can be replenished, but a good driver and commander are needed.

  The system can remotely control the tank's artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun systems from a terminal 5,000 meters away from the tank or armored vehicle. The operator can use the forward-looking information system or information provided by an on-site drone to directly remote-control the tank's weapons to strike predetermined targets.

  When necessary, like the system on Chengfeng's body, in case of commander failure, high-level operators or previously pre-authorized commanders can transcend the original authorization and actively control the fire control system to launch effective attacks.

  "Company commander, company commander, respond if you hear this." Lin Yi's voice came through Feng's earpiece.

  "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Lin Yi, what did you say?" Cheng Feng replied.

  "Alright, alright, I hear you." The voice of Old Li came through Cheng Feng's earpiece.

  "I am Cheng Feng," said Old Li.

  "Enemy tanks discovered 500 meters ahead of the second row, the other side is launching interference smoke, can't see the exact number, roughly over 10, please contact the forward command immediately and request support from rear large-caliber artillery." Old Li said quickly.

  "It seems that the Indian army is going to come true tonight" Cheng Feng thought in his heart, and immediately called the front command.

  "I am Cheng Feng. We have come under large-scale attack by the Indian army and have repelled their first wave of attacks, with 3 casualties, one tank lost, and some members killed." Cheng Feng reported.

  "Frontline received, frontline received. We've seen from the drone that you're fighting well. We received satellite images showing that the Indian army has built an artillery position 40 kilometers ahead of you. It's been discovered that they have a large-scale gathering of self-propelled artillery, planning to launch a massive strike against you. The frontline is verifying the intelligence and preparing for a ground-to-air missile strike. You must make preparations to defend against the artillery."

  "Chengfeng received, we have built a good defensive artillery hidden cave, the whole regiment can hide during shelling, we will pay attention," Chengfeng replied.

  "Just after the emergency meeting, we have urgently dispatched armed helicopters of Luhang to reinforce you. At the same time, we have ordered the 7th Company to rush to your place at high speed and they will arrive in about 30 minutes. You must hold on to your position."

  "Once we've taken our positions, we must hold our ground to the end. As long as we're on this land, the 8th Company will fight to the last man!" Cheng Feng said with excitement.

  "The position must be held, but you also have to stay alive, did you hear that? You must hold the position and minimize casualties as much as possible. After the 7th company arrives, the two companies will merge, and you will serve as the highest commander of both companies." The forward command continued to issue orders.

  "Please rest assured, General, that Cheng Feng and the 8th Company will definitely complete our mission and defend the honor of our country and army to the death." As soon as he said this, Cheng Feng felt his whole body heat up, his blood surging upwards, and a sense of solemnity suddenly emerging from within him. It was as if he had suddenly seen through the threat of death, and this feeling of fearlessness in the face of death was something he truly experienced for the first time. This feeling was very masculine.

  "Commander Chengfeng, Commander Chengfeng, the superior wants to talk to you in person." The officer who was previously giving orders suddenly said, and when Chengfeng heard this sentence, he knew that the person he feared the most, as well as admired the most, wanted to speak with him.

  "Please speak, Commander! Please speak!" answered Feng Dazhu loudly.

  "Cheng Feng, you little scamp, don't always be saying you're going to die or not. Listen up, hold your position and make sure you come out alive. I'm right behind you in the command center of our camp, watching with my own eyes as you defeat the enemy. If you can't hold on, shout for help early and I'll personally lead a team to support you." Cheng Feng heard this familiar voice and was both startled and delighted. Suddenly he felt his eyes sting and almost shed tears. Wasn't that his father speaking?

  "Listen up, today you're facing the xx brigade of the Indian army. This is a unit that our military defeated years ago, it's a defeated general under my command. Don't lose face for me, I want you to fight resolutely until the end, even if it's just one person left, you must hold your ground. Otherwise, we'll deal with this according to military law." The commander said excitedly.

  "Yes, General, Cheng Feng has received it, protect yourself and defeat the enemy."

  "But in recent years, they have made rapid progress, and it is said that they are no longer like before. However, remember, we can defeat them once, and we can defeat them countless times." The military commander continued to shout loudly.

  "Chengfeng, are you still there?" Hearing no response from Chengfeng, Dad continued calling out to him through the earpiece.

  "General, it's windy," said Cheng Feng, calming down a bit.

  For so many years, Chengfeng has been unable to forgive his father for forcing him into the army. When it comes to being forced into the army back then, it's not that Chengfeng didn't want to go, but rather he felt that his old man was like a warlord, never giving him the right to choose his own future. From small to big, everything was decided by him, what to eat, what to do, without any freedom at all. Even from a young age, he didn't even have the freedom to choose what books to read.

  Cheng Feng never mentioned his father's existence after arriving at the troops, not only because his father was a military commander, but also because of his unyielding tenacity. He always felt that his father thought he couldn't do anything well, and it was precisely for this reason that his father sent him to the troops.

  But the bones of Chengfeng are actually opposite to his father's. The more you look down on me, the harder I work. You think I can't be a good soldier, and I want to be a good one, and do it well. So later, Chengfeng always maintained first place in military school and in the troops, never once being second.
