Chapter 173: The Gunship Is Awesome? It's You Who's Got It!
Chapter 173: The Gunship Is Awesome? It's You Who's Got It!
After Chen Jun's detailed analysis and everyone's collective wisdom, the Blue Army's offensive intention has basically become clear.
The Blue Army wanted to use the strategy of alerting the enemy and revealing the location of the Red Army headquarters.
The ground force's attack had little impact. The destruction of a few assault tanks was not enough to alert the Red Army command, which immediately issued orders via radio.
Only by destroying units with tactical value will the Red Army Command be forced to immediately order adjustments.
So we chose the second company’s air defense platoon!
The Blues have such a careful deployment, and their follow-up will definitely be even tighter.
The armed helicopters that were most likely used for the attack were already ready not far away to prevent the Red Army headquarters from moving again during this period.
And the helicopter responsible for attacking the command center is most likely the formation that attacked the Second Company.
Because they had to prepare for the attack in advance and launch an attack immediately after receiving the intelligence, they did not pursue the 2nd Tank Company that had lost its air defense protection.
Now that the Blues’ battle plan has been exposed, what to do next has become a difficult problem.
"Our communications are being monitored by the Blue Army, so every order we send out will be known to them. What should we do? Can we go back a few decades and find a messenger?"
Captain Wang was helpless and felt even more headache when thinking about it.
"As long as the headquarters radio station is not used, as long as the headquarters is not exposed, the Blue Army will not dare to act rashly. After all, they send armed helicopters to attack behind enemy lines, which carries great risks every time, and they dare not use them frequently." Chen Jun analyzed rationally.
"That should be the truth."
The chief of staff cooperated and said: "The orders from our regimental headquarters can be transmitted orally to the battalion by the signal soldiers, and then transmitted to the company through the battalion-level radio.
Our command center has been moving among the various battalion headquarters, so the efficiency of command transmission will not be greatly affected.
The most important issue now is... now that we know the Blue Army's battle plan, how can we launch a counterattack against the Blue Army?
The Blues can't possibly know now that we've figured out their tactics and that this is where it works."
"That's right!"
Captain Wang agreed with the Chief of Staff's point of view and said with great interest: "The Blue Army's armed helicopters have been dispatched. Can we be as cunning as the Blue Army and make something of this matter?"
While talking.
Captain Wang first looked at the chief of staff, as if he thought the chief of staff could not think of any bad ideas, and his mind was full of bold and aggressive tactics.
Then he thought of the confrontation with the reconnaissance battalion, and his eyes fell on Chen Jun.
and……
The more I think about it carefully, the more it resembles the same.
Wasn't Chen Jun's approach to dealing with the reconnaissance battalion exactly the same as this time's opponent, the Blue Army? They both used various unconventional methods.
At that time, I didn’t think it was a big deal standing on Chen Jun’s side, but now I’m facing the Blues who use the same style of play.
Captain Wang then realized that it was really quite immoral.
It is said that people of the same kind understand each other better. Captain Wang realized that if he wanted to defeat the Blue Army, he could only find the same opponent and engage in a head-to-head battle with the opponent.
So Captain Wang locked onto Chen Jun, hoping that Chen Jun could come up with some bad ideas...
No, it's a good idea!
Captain Wang placed all his hopes on Chen Jun, and the other staff officers, including the chief of staff, also set their sights on Chen Jun.
Under the pressure of being the center of attention, Chen Jun smiled faintly and said, "The Blue Army is not that easy to fool. They are more slippery than loaches and smarter than monkeys.
But they certainly didn't expect that we would react so quickly and see through their tricks in the first place.
Therefore, we now have an opportunity, and this is the only opportunity, to take advantage of this valuable information gap and give the Blues a hard time.
I suggest this..."
Chen Jun spoke incessantly about his plan, and the eyes of the group leaders present became brighter and brighter. After listening to him, they could not help but applaud.
Captain Wang accepted the suggestion without hesitation and began to make arrangements immediately.
soon.
Four 212 military vehicles drove out from the First Battalion Headquarters, carrying orders personally delivered by Commander Wang, and headed straight for the Sixth, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Companies at the fastest speed.
About five minutes later, the radio station of the regiment headquarters was activated and several orders were issued in succession.
The first order was to have the command's air defense platoon immediately go to Hill 022 to support the Second Tank Company and continue the attack on Hill 022.
The second order was that all air defense units should enter a state of readiness. If they spotted a target, they did not need to report to their superiors and could choose to open fire at any time.
The third order was to notify the four defensive companies to leave one platoon each to defend the original 033, 034, and 035 positions, and the rest to prepare to attack the second-level blue army positions.
The fourth order was to notify the Third Battalion Headquarters to prepare for the transfer of the regiment headquarters and to carry out the transfer after lunch.
The Blue Army is equipped with an electronic countermeasure system and has specialized electronic countermeasure technicians to operate it, and has indeed been monitoring the Red Army's communications in a comprehensive manner.
At this time, he was flying in the sky on a helicopter and intercepted four orders from the Red Army Command.
This is the huge advantage brought by high technology!
"Reporting to the Deputy Chief of General Staff, the Red Army Headquarters radio station has been activated and has sent four orders in succession. This is the content of the intercepted orders."
The technician printed the intercepted order onto paper and handed it to the railway sitting at the front of the cabin.
As the only experimental special forces unit in our army, Battalion A is responsible for testing cutting-edge equipment, as well as developing and practicing the most cutting-edge tactical methods.
The tactics used are the most advanced, and the equipment is also the most advanced.
As the leader of this force, this is not the first time that Tielu has sat on a command helicopter to command operations.
I'm completely used to it!
Tielu took the intelligence and quickly scanned it, and found that the four orders were all standard, and the contents of the orders were basically within his expectations.
As for why it took so long for the Red Army Command to issue these four orders.
The railway did not find it unreasonable.
Because every time a conventional army issues an order, it has to hold a group meeting of the regiment operations department, which is extremely time-consuming and makes command very inefficient. This is one of the main reasons why the command system has become bloated.
It is not as streamlined as the Blue Army Command.
As a commander-in-chief, he can lead several technical soldiers, a database and several reconnaissance command systems to form a complete command system.
Once he had the enemy's intelligence in his hands, he could issue orders in minutes.
Maximize the efficiency of combat command.
therefore.
This military reform is not only about tactics and fighting methods, as well as the troop configuration and equipment, but also the command structure and system of traditional troops.
The future command structure should be one where the regiment can directly command each squad, or even every soldier.
It was precisely because everything was normal with the 702nd Regiment, which was in line with the operating mode of a regular heavy armored regiment, that the railway did not realize that there was a problem.
In fact, it is indeed difficult to predict, after all, Chen Jun himself does not exist in common sense.
He is a hardcore player who has returned to the Novice Village!
If the railway could be thought of, then there really is something fishy going on.
Everything about the Red Army was under control, there was no problem with the intelligence collected, the location of the Red Army headquarters had been determined, and the Red Army was still focusing on attacking the position, and the air defense force had not retreated to protect the regiment headquarters.
The Blues have all the elements they need, and there is no reason not to launch a thundering attack.
"Old Wang, Old Wang, your group has produced an interesting little guy, but he is still too young after all, with small tricks but no big plans.
If he were given enough time to grow, he would have grown up now and might be able to play more than us and bring a lot of fun.
But now, he can't support you 702, and he can't change your fate after all."
The railway thought it had the overall situation under control, and its smile was full of arrogance.
Then he picked up the microphone and ordered: "Flying Eagle One, this is the Bird's Nest. The Red Army headquarters has locked on and the location has been transmitted. The decapitation operation can begin."
"Flying Eagle One received and confirmed the order. Begin the decapitation operation immediately. Over."
Among the three armed helicopters that attacked Hill 022, the host in the middle received the order and then issued an order: "Flying Eagle Two, Flying Eagle Three, the bird's nest order has been issued, the decapitation operation has begun, maintain formation, and head to the Red Army's marked point."
"Eagle Two received!"
"Eagle Three received!"
The two auxiliary planes, one on the left and one on the right of the formation, entered into a surprise attack combat state.
At this time, the armed helicopter formation was still about ten kilometers away from the target point, but it was not a problem for the helicopters. It only took three or two minutes to fly there.
The pilots of the Blue Army's armed helicopters are also confident enough in their own skills.
Flying at an ultra-low altitude close to the col between two mountains can not only easily avoid radar scanning, but also block the propagation of sound through the mountain.
By the time the Red Army discovered the helicopter, the target would have inevitably entered the attack range.
More than two minutes later!
The helicopter formation that bypassed the left side of the battlefield suddenly appeared on the left side of the headquarters of the Red Army's 600st Battalion, about meters away on the ridge line.
There are more than a dozen tents of different sizes pitched together, and they are still very obvious even from six hundred meters away.
On the fire control radar of the armed helicopter, the Red Army target point transmitted by the Blue Army Command has been locked by all three helicopters.
The Red Army was completely unprepared and no air defense forces were deployed.
This opportunity is so rare that we must seize every second.
"Fire!!"
As the leading host gave the order, the other two helicopters immediately followed suit and opened fire.
"Puff puff……"
There were three helicopters above and below in the shape of a "finished" character, with flames spurting out from behind the dozens of rocket nests mounted below.
The 57mm rockets and 90mm rockets were ignited and launched, flying out one after another with tail flames, heading straight for the target, the 1st Battalion Headquarters of the Red Army.
Dozens of rockets formed a line in the air, which looked particularly shocking.
The power is enough to flatten a small hill.
A mere battalion headquarters would be reduced to ashes, without any suspense at all.
However, this was an exercise, and they were not using live ammunition. Instead, they were using rockets specially designed for exercises. There was no warhead loaded with explosives for killing, only the propulsion section in the middle, and the propulsion section had been castrated.
It is equivalent to the blank bullet used in a rifle, you just hear a sound and see a flash of fire.
There’s no way these rockets can actually reach the battalion headquarters!
But that's not important.
Because when the three armed helicopters issue the order to open fire, the directorate will perform data calculations and the results will be quickly transferred to the helicopter communications.
"The target has been destroyed, and we are starting to return."
The main pilot of the armed helicopter received a communication, and the director's office confirmed that in this wave of attacks, the locked target area was 100% destroyed, the mission had been completed, and immediately issued an order to evacuate.
But just as he gave the order, he didn't have time to take any action.
The helicopter's early warning system was suddenly triggered.
"Beep beep..."
The shrill sirens and flashing red warning lights.
It wasn't just one helicopter, but three helicopters started issuing warnings at the same time.
This means that all three helicopters have been locked. Only when they are locked by the missile's tracking system will the early warning system trigger an alarm.
The sharp-eyed pilot caught a glimpse of a large group of flames trailing white smoke rising from the ground and flying towards them quickly below.
As a top pilot, he didn't even need to think. He immediately stood ready and blurted out, "Surface-to-air missiles have been detected below. We have been locked onto them. Evade immediately."
The three pilots were well-trained and were not thrown off balance by the sudden attack.
Start emergency avoidance immediately!
"Puff puff……"
While performing high-speed maneuvers, fiercely burning jamming bombs gushed out.
Three helicopters released jamming bombs at the same time, covering almost half of the sky, like flowers scattered by fairies, with a certain alternative beauty.
The visual impact is particularly strong!
While the armed helicopter was performing tactical evasion in the air and performing various operations, more than 20 Red Army soldiers appeared on the ridge line below.
The round tubes held by about ten of them were exactly our army's most advanced individual air defense missiles.
Vanguard-1 individual portable air defense missile!
This is China's second-generation portable air defense missile. It weighs only 16.5 kilograms, but has an astonishing combat range of 5,000 meters.
The fastest flying speed is 600 meters per second, far exceeding the speed of sound.
The helium-cooled indium antimonide detector on the warhead has an extremely sensitive lock on thermal radiation, giving it an infrared adaptive tracking capability that can be left alone after launch.
In addition, the Red Army had the advantage in ambushes and sneak attacks, and the distance between the two sides had been shortened to within 600 meters.
If it was a Vanguard-1 that locked onto an armed helicopter and released a large number of jamming bombs, there might still be a chance of escape.
However, the number of Vanguard-1 missiles launched now reached a terrifying number of twelve.
On average, each helicopter was hit by four missiles.
The advantage of numbers determines everything.
No matter how advanced the flying skills of the pilots of the three Blue Army armed helicopters are, the Z-9W is currently the best armed helicopter of our army, and the jamming bombs can be launched in a timely manner.
After all, it can't change the ending!
Twelve Vanguard-1s without combat units successfully shot down three Blue Army armed helicopters, causing them to emit thick white smoke in the air at the same time.
The armed helicopters are also equipped with laser training devices, which will emit white smoke when triggered.
It's the same as a human being, meaning they've died in battle.
"Successful, haha."
"Finally I got rid of those bastards. You thought you were so great just because you could fly? I'm going to hit you."
"It's thanks to Deputy Captain Chen's ability that we were able to ambush here in advance. I didn't expect that these Blue Army soldiers would really foolishly fly over here."
"Now I'm so awesome that I was able to shoot down an armed helicopter. I'll have to brag about him for three years."
……
Looking at the three smoking helicopters in the sky, the Red Army soldiers on the ridge were so excited that they shouted and cheered.
They were the anti-aircraft troops from the five companies of the entire Second Battalion, and were picked up from various companies by military vehicles.
At first they all thought it was just a deployment, carrying out strategic tasks like the air defense company, and they didn't believe that there would be a Blue Army helicopter appearing behind the Red Army.
In addition, except for the anti-aircraft squad of the 7th Steel Company, the companies of other people have been beaten by the Blue Army and have been traumatized.
Now that we have been transferred to the rear, we all feel relieved.
Unexpectedly, in such an empty area, they actually encountered the Blue Army and successfully shot down the Blue Army helicopter.
Now he can finally release the humiliation he suffered in his own company.
How could they not scream with joy!
Compared to the jubilation of the Red Army soldiers below, the pilots and co-pilots of the three helicopters flying in the sky looked deathly pale.
I thought it would be easy for an armed helicopter to launch a surprise attack on the heavy armored regiment.
Unexpectedly, I capsized in the ditch!
This huge psychological gap is really hard to accept at first.
However, no matter how angry you are, it is of no use. If you lose, you lose. There is no excuse to find. You can only come down from the air according to the rules.
Became a prisoner of the Red Army!!
Fortunately, before being shot down by the Red Army's air defense forces, the Blue Army pilots successfully completed the mission and killed the Red Army headquarters, which gave the Blue Army pilots some psychological comfort.
pity.
the reality is cruel.
The only comfort for the Blue Army pilots was also shattered by the cruel reality.
Because when they flew to the open space of the destroyed Red Army battalion headquarters and landed according to the rules of the exercise, the Red Army leader came to receive the prisoners.
It was the regiment commander Wang Qingrui who should have been killed in the previous attack and had been blown to death.
“What…what’s going on???”
The six Blue Army pilots who got off the helicopter had all read the relevant information of the 702nd Regiment. They were unable to accept for a moment that the regiment commander was fine.
Everyone stood there in shock!!
