The helicopter brigade of the Far East Expeditionary Force was established not long ago. After the Battle of Ufa, Jiang Tongmin once said that if they had appeared at that time, our tank troops would never have suffered such heavy losses. Jiang Tiezhang obviously remembered it.
This sentence is why I say this now. The senior leaders of the expeditionary force, Zhang Zizhong, Hu Li and Jiang Tiezhang, are far away from the center, so they do not have a very good understanding of the effectiveness of some of the new cutting-edge weapons and new tactics in the country. They
When deploying tactics, they are not as targeted as those commanders who go out from home. Of course, since the Supreme Command has carefully set up an additional helicopter brigade for the Far East Expeditionary Force, Jiang Tiezhang will use Jiang Tiezhang to counter Ouyang Yun's
Understood, he felt that the helicopter brigade must have merits, and now he hopes to learn more about it through actual combat.
Jiang Tongmin was very excited when he received the order. When he was still in school, he learned about the role of helicopters in modern warfare through letters from alumni who served on the front line, and because he was equipped with nine helicopters, he was specially equipped with enhanced anti-tank combat capabilities.
He was full of expectations for anti-tank combat with the new Haidongqing armed helicopter. "Commander, please be optimistic. I will make the German tanks never dare to face us again." He responded to Zhang Zizhong, and then drove one himself.
The latest model of Haidongqing, along with a squadron of various types of Haidongqing armed helicopters, quickly pounced on Shire.
Southwest of Shire, on the roadside of a road that runs through the village, several Tiger II tanks are hidden in a dense bush. Lal is sitting in the command vehicle in the middle, smoking a cigarette and listening to the command headquarters on an unknown highland through the radio.
Out of trust in the combat power of this unit, Lal is not worried about the next battle. Yes, the performance of the Chinese Mandrill is very good, and the size of the armored force is not small, but don’t forget
, the tank, a combat weapon that is not new, has been the patent of Westerners from the beginning. Although the tank, a weapon that only appeared in World War I, was invented by the British, if they are truly utilized, the tank
It is the Germans who have the ability to determine the success or failure of a battle like artillery. The Germans were the first to invent armored cluster tactics and also invented blitz warfare. It is no exaggeration to say that if the German army were second in tanks, then the world would be
No country in the world dares to be number one.
While Lal was thinking about it, a report from a distant scout suddenly came through his headset, saying that a Chinese helicopter had been spotted and was flying towards the Shire.
"I know, continue the reconnaissance and pay attention to the movements of the enemy's armored forces." Lal replied, feeling a little regretful in his heart. The Chinese sent fighter planes to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance, so the ambush he carefully planned seems to be going bankrupt. He will not
He thought that the camouflage he had set up could deceive those low-flying fighter planes. However, he quickly changed his mind and thought: This is good, then defeat the Chinese head-on. Only in this way can he better reflect his abilities. "Every unit must do
Be prepared for air defense and beware of surprise attacks by Chinese fighter planes." Immediately, he conveyed this order in a formal manner,
As this order was passed to every tank, soon the general-purpose machine guns of more than a hundred tanks near Shire adjusted their muzzle heights and began to point toward the sky.
About ten minutes later, Lal heard the buzzing engine sound of the Haidongqing helicopter. He replaced the machine gunner and stood up straight from the machine gun position. He picked up the binoculars and looked around. He saw thirteen strange-looking helicopters. The fighter planes were flying towards him in a three-plane formation. The Chinese sent out thirteen fighter planes at once. This was not just a reconnaissance mission. He frowned slightly and felt a bad feeling in his heart. Then he put down Visually measuring the altitude with a telescope, I found that the enemy aircraft group maintained a flying altitude of about 1,500 meters, just outside the range of the general-purpose machine gun. The feeling of uneasiness in my heart became even more intense. "At this altitude, even if the Chinese launch a ground attack, It's hard to guarantee accuracy." He immediately thought,
This thought was still lingering in his mind. Suddenly, a bright orange flame shot out from the left wing of a helicopter. His eyes widened and he became confused: What do the Chinese want to do?
He didn't wonder for long. As a Tiger II tank about 1,500 meters in front of him suddenly exploded and caught fire, his heart beat faster. He finally understood why he felt uneasy just now. This so-called The helicopter actually had anti-tank capabilities. As expected of a seasoned veteran, he reacted very quickly and immediately asked the commander in front of him, Silvalet: "That tank was hit, report the damage." What he saw was that In fact, although he already knows that the Chinese helicopters do have anti-tank capabilities, he must understand the strength of this capability before considering his next action.
Silvalet could not answer his question, because it was Silvalet's command vehicle that was hit, and at this time, Silvalet had already fallen into a pool of blood.
Ouyang Yun invests a huge amount of money in the Xuebing Research and Development Institute every year. His perseverance regardless of the cost has now reached the payback period. Therefore, not only the super bombs will become combat effective, but also tactical weapons such as rockets and missiles will change almost every day, and their performance will change. are becoming more and more advanced. For example, the "Meteorite III" rocket that hit Silvalet's command vehicle is not only faster than earlier rockets, but also has considerable armor-breaking capabilities.
Lal was still waiting for the subordinates in front to report the battle damage figures. Jiang Tongmin gave an order, and more helicopters joined the attack sequence. In Lal's field of vision, only bright spots of light were seen like falling from the sky, and then his subordinates One after another, the tanks were hit, exploded, and burst into flames. Among them, the more unlucky ones were directly blown over.
"Enemy attack."
"Report, we were attacked by Chinese fighter jets. The Chinese used new anti-tank weapons. What should we do?"
"..." At this time, there was no need for him to urge his men to give battle damage figures, because the various shouts from the headset could already explain everything. This was a fighting method that Lal had never experienced, and it made him feel What is embarrassing and angry is that he and many of his subordinates who were originally planning to fight to teach the Chinese a painful lesson were unable to fight back under such a blow from the Chinese.
"General, what should we do?"
"Sir, please give me the next step." Amidst the screams of his men, Lal's heart felt like a heavy hammer, and his face quickly turned livid.
The counterattack began when Jiang Tongmin ordered an all-out attack. However, not to mention that the bullets of the general-purpose machine gun could not penetrate the armor of the Haidongqing armed helicopter even at the optimal range. What had a huge impact on the Germans' will to fight was , it's a good thing they didn't fire, because once they open fire and reveal their position, they will inevitably be attacked from the sky, and the "cannonballs" with bright tail flames are so accurate and fast, so even if they clearly Determine the direction of the attack in advance and try your best to avoid it, but 10% of the time you will not be able to avoid it at all.
