Damn the World, Ride a Submarine - Chapter 58



Only Krnovel

Episode 58 – RPG 7

Most of the 24 mortar shells dropped at once missed. It was unreasonable to target armored vehicles moving at high altitudes.

But fortunately, one shot hit the driver’s hatch of the armored vehicle. The armored vehicle stopped.

Although the armored vehicle was neutralized and the enemy’s advance was slowed, the problem was the two T-62 D tanks.

Attack drones A, B, and C were scouted for enemy tanks and follow-up units before returning to the submarine for reloading.

It was clearly the T-62 D model.

Although it was a reinforcement of an old tank made in the 70s. It was equipped with a KAZ 1030M active defense system and additional armor.

And no matter how old the tank was, 60mm mortar shells were virtually useless.

Even in Russia, I did not expect that there would be tanks in Severodvinsk, a remote and rear area, or that they would be deployed so quickly.

Hundreds of Russian marines were approaching with tanks leading the way.

Whether they knew their burning hearts or not, SBU Alpha Unit’s installation of explosives was slow.

I wanted to radio to ask about the progress, but I stopped after seeing them doing their best.

Now we had to deal with tanks. Five suicide drones equipped with 3kg of anti-tank explosives were launched on an 850 RTK drone. These were drones numbered 51, 61 to 91.

The problem was that there were only 10 anti-tank explosives for self-destruction made by Warrant Officer Seo Ji-seok.

It was a pity, but ‘If only this weren’t there…’ With that thought in mind, he ordered the remaining drones No. 52, No. 62 to No. 92 to stand by as the second squadron of suicide drones.

The Russian 667th Marine Regiment, led by two T-62D tanks, had already penetrated the city outside Severodvinsk.

They were at the beginning, led by the M-8, which leads to the Sevmash Shipyard.

Although the suicide drone was equipped with anti-tank explosives, it had to target vulnerable areas in order to deal with tanks.

It was necessary to take advantage of the geographical advantage of the shipyard grounds, which were lined with buildings. 0, 1, 2 Reconnaissance drones determine the tank’s movement path in the sky.

The suicide drone flew low over roads and alleys, looking for attack points.

Between buildings, located along the tank’s expected movement path, the suicide drone waited for the tank to appear.

The enemy tanks entering the city were slowing down.

The tank’s gun barrel slowly began to appear on the controller screen of Suicide Drone 51.

The operator controlling the suicide drone could be heard slowly taking a breath.

– Ugh, hoo~

The crew member holding the drone controller in his hand hid the drone’s body in a tree next to the road, as if the drone was a person.

T-62 D tanks began to appear between the buildings.

Considering the active defense system and additional armor, it seemed like more than two drones would have to be self-destructed.

When about a third of the tank’s body was exposed. A suicide attack by drone No. 51 was ordered.

Drone No. 51 came out from behind a tree and into the middle of the road.

It floated about 1m above the ground and quickly rushed towards the tank at low altitude.

Drone No. 61 tried to follow right behind him, so he was stopped. This was because the lightweight 850 RTK drone would not be able to withstand the aftereffects of an explosion.

Suicide Drone No. 51 flew low and fast above the ground and crashed into the armor protecting the tank’s caterpillar.

– Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!

No. 51 exploded with a strong gun smoke. It was a lifeless machine, but the way it oxidized for us felt sublime.

It appeared that the armor protecting the caterpillar had fallen off. Immediately, Drone No. 61 rushed forward.

Because it was a low-altitude flight 1m above the ground, the screen on the controller was reminiscent of a first-person FPV game.

Suicide Drone 61 rushed between the tank’s caterpillars.

– Kwakkwakkwak!

Drone No. 61, which pushed its body into the giant iron wheel, disappeared in flames and smoke. She cut off the tank’s caterpillar.

– Kigigigiing

The broken left caterpillar got caught in the tank’s suspension system and became a fulcrum, turning the tank, which was rolling forward, 90 degrees to the left.

The moment the T-62D tank turned 90 degrees and faced the alley!

The tank’s 115mm 2a20 smoothbore gun burst into flames.

– Boom!

– Quack! Kwakwakwak!

The shell fired from the smoothbore cannon hit the side of the exterior wall of the building where our suicide drone was waiting.

The drones that bounced from the impact of the shell explosion caused a series of explosions. All three drones disappeared just like that.

It didn’t seem like an aimed shot. It seemed like the gunner instinctively fired due to the impact the tank received.

Although we lost 5 drones out of 10, we had to be satisfied with that since we disabled 1 tank.

I immediately dispatched five suicide drones numbered 52, 62 to 92. I had to capture the remaining tank.

Meanwhile, a troop transport truck formation of the Russian 667th Marine Regiment was rapidly entering the Sevmash Shipyard grounds.

After loading shells, the A1 and B1 attack drones flew away. All 16 rounds of HE 60mm mortar shells were poured into the lead two vehicles, which had slowed down.

It was unclear how many shots were hit.

It felt like hell. The truck was engulfed in flames, and the soldiers on board were thrown in all directions.

The Russian marines who saw the lead vehicle being shelled all disembarked and spread out in all directions.

They spread out too widely in a short period of time, and it was not enough to individually find and eliminate the enemies inside the building with drone bombardment.

All remaining troops of Russia’s 667th Marine Regiment went into hiding under the strong cover of a concrete building.

A1 and B1 were returning to reload. The remaining five drones stood by along the route and were assigned the task of blocking the advance rather than annihilation.

It had to be that way. In urban areas rather than open areas, the role of bombing drones was bound to be limited.

Enemy tanks also seemed to have stopped advancing and reorganized their front lines. In such a stalemate, mortar shells fell on Russian soldiers intermittently seen on the road.

The T-62 D enemy tank was one block ahead of Team Charlie’s defense line at the northeastern end of the main road.

The second squadron of suicide drones arrived above the enemy tank.

Suicide Drone No. 52 quickly descended and flew at low altitude along the road towards the enemy tank’s caterpillar.

– Ta-da-dang, ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dan!

Russian Marine Regiment troops, who had taken cover in buildings on both sides of the road, discovered it and opened fire. It was towards the drone that was rushing towards the tank along the road.

The drone lost its balance due to the bullet, slipped on the asphalt floor, and exploded.

– Knock knock!

It was an unexpected situation. There are 4 remaining suicide drones. This time, we targeted the rear engine compartment of the enemy tank.

– Buuuung ~

Drone No. 62 rapidly descended behind the tank and at the same time increased its speed and headed toward the rear of the tank.

The suicide drone was rushing into the engine compartment of the tank, breaking through small arms fire from Russian soldiers.

– Ta-da-dang, ta-da-da-da-da-da-da.

The commander of the T-62 D tank opened the hatch and began firing the machine gun in the turret.

– Ta-da-da-da-da-dang!

Drone No. 62, hit by a barrage of bullets from three sides, explodes helplessly.

– Quack!

This time, it approached the opposite Caterpillar, but one was shot down while descending.

The Russian Marines were protecting the sides of the tank with vehicle barricades to prevent low-altitude approaches by drones.

On the other side and at the rear of the tank, objects such as barricades and trash cans were built to block the low-altitude rush of suicide drones.

The only way was to dive between the tank and the barricade and crash into it.

Because No. 81 slowed down during descent, it was shot down by rifle fire and exploded in the air.

Suicide Drone 91 descended rapidly, almost to the level of free fall, and then momentarily increased its thrust just before impacting the ground. Soon it rushed towards the tank.

Although it succeeded in self-destructing. It only neutralized the additional armor on the sides of the tank.

Meanwhile, our attack drones were dropping mortar shells on Russian marines that appeared intermittently.

The Revolver 860 attack drone constantly went back and forth between the Lee Hoe-young and the defense line for reloading and shelling.

There was still no news that SBU had finished installing explosives.

A change occurred on the front line that had been in a stalemate.

The remaining Russian tank moved along the Sevmash Shipyard main road to the northeastern defense line where Charlie Team was located.

The Russian 667th Marine Regiment divided its forces into two and headed northeast and southeast.

‘Ah… to make the drone’s shells consume…’

I realized it too late. The fact that the Russian marines running around the road was to use up the drone’s shells.

As anxiety overtook me, I heard the drone operator’s sigh again.

– ah …

Has the repair been completed or has the driver been replaced? Two armored vehicles were heading toward Team O Alpha.

The changed situation was announced over the radio.

– Charlie, Charlie. Command. Enemy tank approaching, Enemy tank approaching. Over.

– (Charlie Team. Command Center. Enemy tank approaching, above.)

– Copy that. (I get it.)

– Alpha, Alpha. Command. Enemy units approaching with two armored vehicles via road Over.

– (Alpha Team. Command Headquarters. Enemy units approaching along the road with two armored vehicles, above.)

– Copy that. (I get it.)

Charlie Team, who assessed the situation with a drone, saw four people coming down from the roof of the building. Each person was carrying an RPG 7 on their shoulder.

– Kiririk, Kiririk, Kiririk, Kiririk

Tanks began to appear in front of the Charlie team ambushed on both sides of the intersection road. The T-62 D tank was exposing its flank to Team Charlie.

‘Shoot! hurry!’

As I was looking at the reconnaissance drone screen, I was screaming inside. The crew member who was controlling the drone was muttering to himself.

– Now. It’s now

For some reason, the Charlie team that was ambushing them was not firing RPG 7. However, my faith in boss Lee Cheol-gi did not change.

When the entire side of the tank was exposed in the center of the range, Team Charlie pulled the trigger.

– Sigh~ Sigh~ Sigh~ Sigh~ Sigh~

Four RPG 7 rockets in one place! It flew towards the side of the tank.

– Boom! Quack! Kwakwakwak!

The tank became completely disabled. The left caterpillar was completely destroyed.

The four Charlie Team members on the ground threw away the RPG 7 launcher and were retreating. At the same time, the tank’s turret was rotating.

-Grrr.

– Quack! bang!

A shell fired from the tank’s smoothbore gun hit the building behind the retreating Charlie team. A member of Charlie’s team was thrown onto the road as if by the explosion.

at that time,

– Sigh~ Sigh~ Sigh~

– Boom! Kwakwakwak!

Team Charlie, who was waiting on the rooftop, fired three RPG 7s toward the top hatch of the tank’s turret.

RPG 7 (aka Allah’s Wand)
