Therefore, this exercise is not only a test of the special forces brigade of the Army Aviation Corps since its establishment, but also a major test that has a bearing on its future and destiny.

Because of this, don't look at Jiang Liang's complaints as always, his face is full of indifference, in fact, he has done a lot of homework in private, taking this thousand-mile maneuver as an example, Jiang Liang did not transport the personnel and equipment of the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade to the offensive assembly area according to the traditional railway or air transportation.

Instead, it carried out a leapfrog leap through the helicopters attached to it, and in less than a day, all the fighters, some of the logistics personnel, and most of the ammunition supplies were transported to the assembly area.

Then they launched an offensive and defensive, waiting for the arrival of friendly troops while studying how to surprise the enemy with a deadly surprise.

"Well~~~ That's it, what do you mean by the command over there?"

After Jiang Liang complained, he still picked up the electronic pen, expanded the map on the screen, and then clicked twice on it as the attack point of the upcoming operation.

"The command told us to open an offensive breakthrough as soon as possible. Staff officer Xiao Man replied.

"Open the breakthrough as soon as possible~~~" Jiang Liang rubbed his chin: "That's the X regiment known as the Central Plains Tigers, and trying to open a path on them is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth." ”

Jiang Liang's words seemed to be a little solemn, and the staff officer Xiaoman also frowned when he heard it, but the next moment Jiang Liang stretched his eyebrows and eyes, and laughed: "Pull out your teeth, pull out your teeth, anyway, our Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade is a vice beaten with iron, and it is the teeth of his Tiger Regiment that are pulled out!"

As he spoke, he put the electron in his hand on the confirmation button on the screen, and the next moment there was a rustling sound in the bushes not far away, and then several helicopters rose into the air with the afterglow of the setting sun, and then they stuck to the treetops and flew towards an island with rumbling artillery fire off the coast of eastern Zhejiang.

Seeing this, Jiang Liang also got up from the helicopter pedal he was sitting on, and beckoned to staff officer Xiaoman and others: "It's up to us next!"

Before the words fell, he got into the helicopter with a cat's waist.

......

At the same time, on a coastal island off the coast of eastern Zhejiang, the X Regiment, known as the Central Plains Tigers, was assigned to the high ground on the west side of the island as the main force of the defensive side.

According to the terrain, Regiment X used the first battalion as a reserve and stationed it with the regimental headquarters on the anti-slope behind the side of the high ground, while the third battalion with Type 88 tanks and Type 86 infantry fighting vehicles was arranged in shallow depth on both sides of the high ground for armored counter-assault on the landing force.

As for the heights themselves, the defensive 2nd Battalion was fortified by reinforced concrete fortifications and anti-slope tunnels, delaying and preventing the landing force from expanding the landing ground and penetrating into the depth of the island.

At this moment, the attacker's artillery preparations had just ended, and although the ground was shaken, it did not have much impact on the defenders on the island, after all, the island they were stationed on was set up according to the situation of the largest island on the southeast coast, and it had theoretically been fortified.

Unless it is a direct hit by intensive artillery fire, it is difficult to eliminate those dense fire points on the island.

Because of this, as soon as the artillery fire ended, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the X Regiment stationed on the high ground on the west side only looked through the artillery mirror at the front of the attacking troops off the island, then turned around and looked at the map on the wall again, and immediately used red and blue pencils with a drawing ruler to accurately mark several possible enemy attack directions on it.

Then he turned his head and asked several staff officers behind him: "Let's see, there is anything missing!"

"Frontal attack troops, flank feint troops, air parachute troops, and special infiltration units...... A staff officer looked at the information sent by the regiment headquarters in his hand and the accurate operation of the battalion commander on the map just now, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help frowning, and reminded him: "Battalion commander, it seems that the army aviation special forces brigade is missing." ”

"Oh? You mean the assault unit established by the Army Aviation and specialized in using helicopters to learn the US military?" The second battalion commander put the red and blue pencils and drawing rulers in his hands on the table next to him, picked up the military water bottle, took two sips, and then interjected his mouth indiscriminately, shaking his head very disdainfully: "It's not that I forgot, but the facts show that the propeller thing on the head is not easy to use at all......"

As he spoke, he looked at the other staff officer: "Xiao Han, how many planes have our defenders shot down from the exercise to the present?"

"A total of 18 aircraft of various types were shot down by the attacker, including 5 'Starer' UAVs, 3 Qiang-5 attack aircraft, 2 J-8II., 2 J-7, 1 Su-27, and the remaining 5 were all helicopters that the attacker attempted to infiltrate. ”

Staff officer Xiao Han opened the folder in his hand and meticulously reported the results of the air defense during this time, and the second battalion commander nodded with satisfaction: "This is the clearest warning, the helicopter thing, not to mention the noise, the target is still very obvious, as long as any air defense weapon is caught, there is no need to run at all, it is the same as fighting a drone, it is simply a dozen and a target, is it not clear that the army aviation has such a big shortcoming?"

As a result, if you don't learn from it, you just learn from the Americans what kind of air assault force the Americans are engaged in, isn't this just to use it as a target for people to practice?

To put it mildly, with the defense capability of the island today, not to mention the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade, even the 101st Air Assault Division himself, it is enough for them to drink a pot. ”

The second battalion commander is quite confident in what he said, and the reason why this is so is very simple, including their second battalion, the entire X regiment does have this strength.

This is because the air defense detachment assigned to them is imported from Russia and has just formed a combat capability not long ago, plus the Type 95 self-propelled antiaircraft artillery detachment that is equivalent to a battalion, and with some Hongying series portable anti-aircraft missiles and antiaircraft machine guns, almost the entire western defense defense is covered up in an airtight manner.

As for the capability, not to mention, the Russian-made Doyle M1 is a professional field air defense system built by the former Soviet Union for the synthetic chemical group, which is known for its fast response, strong anti-jamming ability, and high strike accuracy.

It is a powerful weapon for the former Soviet Union and today's Russia to defend against enemy helicopters, cruise missiles and other low-altitude targets.

As for the Type 95 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, although it is a domestically produced equipment, its performance is not weaker than that of similar foreign products, not only the four-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft gun equipped with its own firepower, but more importantly, it is also equipped with four short-range anti-aircraft missiles, forming a very rare integrated system of projectiles and artillery, which can carry out precise killing from point to surface on any incoming low-altitude target.

In addition to the air defense system attached to the X Regiment itself, the Hongqi-7 short-range air defense missile, the S-300 long-range air defense missile imported from Russia, and a complete set of radar search and communication command systems have also been deployed near the defense command post in depth, thus forming a cascade anti-air defense posture of long, medium, and near, high, medium, and low.

There is no way to make such a big fanfare, and whoever makes a certain island claim to be the world's largest in the density of air defense firepower, since this is the case, the troops will naturally learn from each other.

It's just that in this way, it is really more difficult for the aircraft of the attacking force to fly in than to ascend to the sky, because as soon as they fly together, they will be discovered by the long-range radar on the island, and then the radars of different frequency bands such as high-altitude detection, low-altitude blindness, and fire control guidance are all turned on, no matter how the attacking aircraft's aircraft evade, they will always not escape the eyes of the defending side, and the plot after that can be imagined, the attacker's aircraft is simply a meat bun beating a dog, and it will never go back.

Especially the helicopter, not to mention the slow flight speed, the radar signal characteristics are very obvious, and more importantly, the helicopter is noisy, even if it is the use of ultra-low-altitude radar blind spot to reach the vicinity of the island, but the whirring propeller noise will still alarm the defenders for the first time, so all kinds of light and heavy weapons greet together, the same back and forth.

In this case, it is a fool's dream for the Army Aviation Special Forces Brigade to use a helicopter to carry out a leapfrog landing on the island, of course, the second battalion commander is contemptuous, after all, it is an exercise, and it is still necessary to pay more attention to it, so he nodded: "But you can't be careless, after all, it is a new type of unit authorized by the headquarters, and the combat effectiveness is still some, since this is the case...... The air defense forces on both sides of the command were instructed to strengthen their vigilance and not even a single mosquito should be allowed in. ”

"Yes!" A staff officer received the order and immediately turned around to give an order, but as soon as the staff officer picked up the phone and connected to the air defense unit to which he belonged, the whole person immediately froze there like a zombie with a charm.

The people in the command post of the entire battalion immediately noticed that something was wrong and looked at the staff officer, but before they could figure out what was going on, they heard an extremely arrogant voice from the radio intercom in the staff officer's hand: "I am still looking for your battalion command post here, but you have sent it to the door yourself. ”

Before the words fell, there were really two two-kick-like things that came in along the observation port of the command post, and with a boom, the entire command post was completely enveloped in a choking yellow smoke!
