Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don’t Call Me a Demon! - Chapter 803 - 449: hurry to invite commander su_2

Bang!

A PT-91 main battle tank fired fiercely, its 125mm smoothbore cannon spewing nearly two meters of flames, the shockwave stirring up a large cloud of dust.

Ahead, a high explosive bomb exploded. This PT-91 tank targeted a heavy machine gun position, but the shell missed and detonated dozens of meters away, frightening the Temasek soldiers, who immediately abandoned their machine guns and relocated.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The machine gun on the armored vehicle opened fire, tracers drawing clear trajectories in the air, causing Temasek soldiers who were peeking out to quickly hide back into the trenches.

Some were slower to react, getting directly hit by the machine gun’s shells, their upper bodies instantly torn apart, separating from their lower bodies, with visceral fragments splattering onto nearby comrades, staining the trenches with blood.

The trenches erupted into chaos, with soldiers visible fleeing or frozen in shock.

“Counterattack! Hit those invading Johor bastards hard; don’t let these paupers look down on us.”

In the trench, a Temasek officer rallied morale.

The Temasek soldiers were all outraged, filled with the determination to defend their homeland, they deeply hated the invading Johor soldiers, boosting their combat resolve, and some losses didn’t deter them.

Soon, as the Johor attacking forces approached closer, Temasek’s counterattack quickly arrived.

Whoosh!

A Temasek soldier emerged from the trench with a rocket launcher, aimed for four or five seconds, and squeezed the trigger at a PT-91 main battle tank.

The rocket’s range was very close, this was supposed to be the time for coordinated infantry to play a role with the tanks.

While tanks have heavy armor and powerful firepower, their ability to perceive the external environment is weak, and on the battlefield, the tank commander can only observe through vision-limited sighting devices.

At this time, the coordinating infantry can clearly observe the surrounding environment, guiding tanks to clear specific fire points, and providing cover for tanks, attacking enemy infantry sneaking to ambush the tank.

However, the coordinated infantry with this PT-91 main battle tank, out of fear, all huddled behind the tank, treating it completely like a shield, failing to provide effective cover.

The rocket hit the tank’s track with a boom, tearing it off, rendering the PT-91 tank immobile, turning it into an easy target.

Several more shots were fired from rocket artillery, and the rockets successfully penetrated the weak side armor of the PT-91 tank, metal streams pierced inside the tank, killing the crew.

Similar scenes occurred frequently as Temasek infantry repeatedly used rockets, anti-tank missiles, and even self-destructing drones for sneak attacks, severely frustrating the offensive Johor forces.

After losing several tanks and over dozens of armored vehicles, the armored units began to stall, shrinking timidly.

The accompanying Johor infantry were even more terrified.

A PT-91 main battle tank was hit by an anti-tank missile and exploded, the blast flipping back a group of following Johor soldiers, soldiers lay around crying and screaming.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Seizing the opportunity of lost tank firepower, concealed Johor heavy machine guns immediately opened fire, driven heavy machine guns swept down a batch of Johor soldiers.

This immediately caused panic among nearby Johor soldiers, many turned around and ran.

This running triggered a chain reaction, more soldiers felt afraid and retreated backward.

As they shrunk back, they further exposed tanks and armored vehicles, these cumbersome steel vehicles without infantry cover.

Without infantry coordinating cover, many Temasek soldiers attacked from blind spots of tanks and armored vehicles, hitting more successfully.

Now tanks and armored vehicles were terrified too, reversing quickly, infantry fled, tanks fled, the attacking Johor forces were repelled even before reaching a hundred meters from the trenches.

The first wave of offense thus ended hastily, upon calculating the results, the Johor forces with firepower advantage ended up losing more than Temasek’s side, losing many expensive steel vehicles.

Tik Pu sat in the armored command vehicle, watching the battlefield footage transmitted back by the drone, his troops’ blind actions made his face sternly terrifying.

“The opponent only has three thousand people, all infantry, still can’t defeat this?”

Tik Pu desperately wanted to curse, this attack was so incompetent, completely failing to utilize our firepower advantage, both armored units and soldiers were cowardly.

“I’ll organize a second wave attack immediately, we must take this position within three hours.”

The staff, also feeling utterly humiliated, went to organize the second assault wave.

Three hours quickly passed, followed by five hours, seven hours, until ten hours later, the position was still firmly held by Temasek soldiers.

The Johor soldiers showcased textbook-style retreat performances again and again, attacking, firing, then fleeing, they fled as if practiced countless times, very skillful.

After ten hours, the Johor Second Infantry Division ceased attacks, because Temasek’s large forces arrived as reinforcements.

In the Sky Dome, seven or eight Temasek F15 fighter jets, F16 fighter jets appeared here, since they urgently repaired the airfields, these fighters could take off.

Boom!

With bombs dropped from the warplanes, Johor’s artillery positions burst into flames, blown into bits.

On the ground, Temasek’s armored units appeared in the battlefield too, charging forward, were deep gray Leopard 2 tanks.

In performance and tank crew training, PT-91 tanks were inferior to Leopard 2 tanks, once engaged, the battle loss ratio was overly exaggerated, coupled with more Johor tanks and armored vehicles destroyed by F15 fighters.

Unsurprisingly, the soldiers of Johor’s Second Infantry Division quickly collapsed.

Fleeing soldiers were everywhere, originally wanting to conquer Temasek, the army suffered a crushing defeat in the first engagement.

With the defeat of Johor’s Second Infantry Division, more bitter outcomes were swallowed by Johor.

Within Temasek, other Johor forces engaging Temasek were mostly losing rather than winning.

The large Johor forces entering Temasek shifted from offensive to continuously being pressured by Temasek, yielding occupied lands.

Temasek fully showcased its strength as Southeast Asia’s military powerhouse, though small in population, Temasek’s regular army’s quality was generally higher than Johor’s.

Moreover, all 18-year-old citizens of Temasek must serve in the military, after Johor’s invasion, a large number of Temasek citizens turned into reserves, their soldier count even exceeded Johor’s.

Combined with Temasek’s wealth, holding the golden maritime route of the Malacca Strait, gaining favor from Western countries especially the Beautiful Country, with various powerful military equipment abundantly supplied.

Temasek’s air force prowess ranks among the top in all Southeast Asian countries, with the highest military budget of Southeast Asia, reaching 15 billion US Dollars, it was thus before Jieke Group’s emergence.

Due to wealth, Temasek equips multiple advanced howitzers, rocket artillery, like Deutsch Leopard 2 Tanks, France AMX13 Light Tanks, and over 3,000 various armored vehicles, air force holding about 150 of Beautiful Country’s advanced F-15SG and F-16C/D fighters, roughly 60 various early warning planes, patrol planes, aerial refueling planes, transport planes, trainer planes, and over 80 helicopters, Temasek’s air force is Southeast Asia’s strongest and most advanced.

As Johor’s opponent, it only has less than a hundred tanks, and fewer than thirty fighter jets.

Actually, Johor wasn’t without winning chances, as Temasek, such a small nation, lacks strategic depth and maneuvering space, if Johor could quickly achieve victory, it could completely daze Temasek before it could react and achieve conquest.

Yet Johor’s final incompetent military level, sluggish efficiency, missed this great opportunity.

By the time Temasek repaired its airfields and barracks, Johor’s disastrous defeat was foreseeable.

The frontline defeat reports sent to President of Johor, Datuk, who was quite confident in gifting Temasek to Jieke Group, turned pale with shock, realizing he messed up, could only look crestfallen, urgently seek help from Jieke Group: “Quickly report to Jieke Group, inform Commander Su, Temasek we can’t handle.”
