OBS Chapter 125 Occupation of Sabah Oil Fields
Chapter 125 Occupation of Sabah Oil Fields
When Yan State's Zhenguo super battleship easily annihilated Dongyang State's fleet.
Another fleet of two aircraft carriers has already begun action.
The fleet was followed by a large number of transport ships, ready for landing operations.
The 1st National Defense Division participated in the battle this time. They were the first armored division formed in Yan State.
The division commander, Lieutenant General Zhao Xuannan, led the team personally. He was one of the first officers to follow Qin Ruihua.
Although he was not a member of the system's reward system, he remained loyal over the years and continued to improve himself through studying in the military academy.
The carrier-based aircraft on the two aircraft carriers quickly took off, including fifty Thunderbolt attack aircraft and thirty Thundershark fighters.
Before Dongyang State could react, these fighter planes directly destroyed all the fortifications on the dock.
And launched a fatal attack on the small number of Dongyang State troops stationed here.
In addition, with the support of naval guns from cruisers and destroyers, the Dongyang army was unable to defend the dock at all.
Commander Zhao Xuannan stood on the command ship, looking at the coastline in the distance.
He took a deep breath and gave the order: "All troops land!"
"After gathering, the target is directly the oil fields in Sabah!"
"Yes, Commander!" the officers answered in unison.
They sprang into action, conveying the order to every ship and every soldier.
As the orders were given, huge transport ships slowly sailed towards the dock, their decks packed with soldiers.
These soldiers were dressed in neat military uniforms and carried heavy weapons and equipment.
When the transport ship approached the dock, the soldiers quickly jumped off the ship and set foot on unfamiliar land.
They moved inland with firm steps.
At the same time, Yan's main battle tanks, armored transport vehicles, self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles, self-propelled artillery and other advanced equipment were also unloaded from the transport ships one after another, demonstrating its strong combat effectiveness.
After half a day of intense and orderly landing operations, all personnel and equipment arrived on land safely.
After a short rest, the soldiers quickly assembled into neat rows, ready to march towards the Sabah oil fields 200 kilometers away.
Around the landing site, the Dongyang army tried to block the attack, but their strength was far inferior to that of the Yan army.
The Dongyang Kingdom only deployed two divisions, plus some indigenous troops.
It is almost impossible to effectively stop the attack of the Yan State army.
What's more, on this vast island, there are other forces that resist the rule of Dongyang Kingdom.
This forced Dongyang State's military forces to disperse to deal with threats from all sides.
Therefore, facing the powerful offensive of the Yan army, the Dongyang army seemed overwhelmed and unable to resist.
Although Dongyang State is also equipped with more than 20 Type 2 and Type 4 tanks here.
But compared with Yan Country’s main battle tanks, this is a huge gap that spans the ages.
After just a brief confrontation, these Dongyang tanks were destroyed to pieces and instantly turned into piles of useless scrap metal.
A captain of the Dongyang Country stared at the huge and powerful tank in front of him with wide eyes and a look of horror, muttering to himself: "Damn it, why are the Yan Country's tanks being upgraded again?"
"And why is the firepower so strong?"
An officer nearby anxiously suggested: "Captain, we must retreat immediately!"
"We have no way of fighting them. Let's wait for the commander to gather all the troops before launching a counterattack."
The captain gritted his teeth and nodded reluctantly in agreement: "Yoshi, retreat quickly."
He knew very well that continuing to fight at this time would only result in more casualties and losses.
The officers responded: “Hi!”
As a result, the Dongyang army began to retreat rapidly and abandoned the Sabah oil fields.
Faced with the armored division of Yan State, they seemed completely powerless to fight back.
The Dongyang army, which was originally scattered everywhere, did not dare to resist easily at this moment. They could only watch as the Yan country's tank army advanced as if it were in an empty land.
As for those indigenous troops, it was almost a fantasy to ask them to fight desperately against the armored division of Yan Country.
They don't have much fighting power to begin with, let alone facing such a powerful enemy?
As for the Dongyang State's Army Aviation here, they have dozens of fighter jets, but they have no courage to take off and fight.
This is because the gap in fighter performance between the two countries is too large.
The carrier-based fighters of the Yan State aircraft carrier did not appear, even though they were only facing the anti-aircraft firepower of the armored division.
These fighter planes from Dongyang State can only come here to die.
However, the fighter jets of Dongyang State did not dare to respond, but the carrier-based fighter jets of Yan State would not miss such a good opportunity.
They quickly dispatched twenty carrier-based fighter jets to launch a surprise attack on Dongyang's airport.
Before the Dongyang fighter planes had a chance to take off, they were all destroyed.
The entire airport was filled with huge explosions: "Boom boom boom boom boom~", and thick black smoke filled the air.
"Baga! Hurry up and rescue them!"
"There's a fire here, come and put it out!"
"Who will save me? My wife is waiting for me at home!"
"Xiao Liangjun, go with peace of mind. I will take good care of your wife."
"you……"
Seven hours later, the armored division finally reached the Sabah oil fields.
There was originally a squadron stationed here, but they only put up a token resistance before fleeing in all directions.
The armored division easily captured the oil field with no casualties and less than ten wounded.
At the same time, some armored division troops built a temporary airport near the dock.
Another airport was built near the oil field to welcome the landing of air force fighter jets to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
The aircraft carrier fleet is anchored near the dock.
Not long after, the Dongyang Kingdom’s headquarters received news that the Yan Kingdom had occupied the oil fields in Sabah State.
According to the telegram, their fleet stationed on the island had been completely wiped out, including a battleship.
What is even more surprising is that it was an armored division that occupied the oil fields in Sabah.
Faced with such heavy losses and unexpected situations, the Dongyang Kingdom’s headquarters had to hold an emergency meeting to deal with it.
As for the armored division, after occupying the oil fields in Sabah State, it did not continue to expand outward, but chose to stay on standby, quietly waiting for the arrival of the large army from Dongyang State.
Although Dongyang State has two divisions here, there is obviously a big gap in their equipment and combat effectiveness compared with the armored division.
In addition, Dongyang State also relied on local indigenous troops to enhance its military strength.
However, these indigenous troops were relatively weak in combat effectiveness and could not compete with the armored divisions.
According to statistics, the total strength of Dongyang State, including the indigenous troops, is about 200,000, while the armored division has only more than 10,000 people.
But this does not mean that the armored divisions are at a disadvantage, because the advanced weapons and equipment they are equipped with are enough to make the Dongyang troops far behind.
More importantly, the armored division received strong support from the navy and air force.
The fighter planes of the navy and air force are ready to go into battle at any time to provide air cover and fire support for the armored divisions.
This all-round combat capability gives the armored division strong combat effectiveness and makes it a powerful force on the battlefield.
In this context, the armored division chose to wait for the arrival of Dongyang State's large force and wait for them to tire themselves out.
