Chapter 522: Air Raid
Although Shinano didn't understand Chinese, after so many days of communication, he still understood what the four words "surrender the gun and don't kill" meant, and instantly realized that something was wrong with the situation, and before he could make further confirmation.
The liaison officer of the director's department received an order from the exercise director's office, and an American-made UH-1 helicopter of the 6th Special Operations Battalion was destroyed, and 14 officers and men, including the crew members, were killed, and four were wounded and captured.
The special radio station of the China Unicom exercise director department did not deliberately conceal it, and the voice of the call was released so brightly that an interpreter quickly informed Shinano and others of the content of the radio broadcast.
Shinano's eyes immediately widened, looking incredulous, and the other officers and men of the 6th Special Operations Battalion were not much better, thinking that they had captured the opponent's mobile command post, but they rushed over and got nothing, and lost a helicopter and 14 officers and men in vain.
The losses are not insignificant, you must know that their 6th Special Operations Battalion has a total of two helicopters in their hands, deployed in the deep zone, and the main purpose is to carry reserve support and counterattack with the high mobility of helicopters.
As a result, at the beginning of the exercise, 50 percent of one's own air assault transport platform was knocked out, and if the enemy stormed the two hills at any cost, the expected counter-assault force would be much weaker, and this would be extremely unfavorable to the follow-up operations.
Lieutenant Colonel Shinano, who was worthy of being a veteran officer who had fought a fierce battle with the Vietnamese army for more than a year, did not fall into the frustration of the disadvantage of the first battle and could not extricate himself, but quickly weighed the pros and cons, immediately picked up the radio intercom, and compared the coordinates of the map against the slow-moving signal emission source determined by the radio reverse tracking: "Artillery, coordinates 156,429, three rapid fires." ”
At the sound of an order, the six artillery pieces arranged behind the defensive position of the 6th Special Operations Battalion quickly adjusted their firing angles, and then let out an angry roar, and the shells crossed the sky like meteors, accurately falling to the coordinate area, and rising thick puffs of smoke.
This situation lasted for a full five minutes, Shinano put down the intercom in his hand and looked at the liaison officer of the director's department with a pair of eyes, the meaning is obvious, I reacted so quickly, the fire strike was so timely, why didn't you move on your side? With such dense firepower, there must be a loss.
At first, the liaison officer of the director's department didn't understand why Shinano suddenly looked at him, and he was a little embarrassed, because it was the first time that he had grown up and had not been stared at by a man so affectionately.
But he quickly reacted, and just as he was about to explain that there would be no loss if the director did not report it, the radio station next to Shinano suddenly lit up, and the signal corps hurriedly connected the channel, and Lieutenant General Alondo's irritable voice came in a hurry: "How did you do it, why didn't the shells hit a single shot? Didn't you say when you came back from training in the United States that their radio reverse tracking can double the combat effectiveness of your troops? Where is the battle now, tell me where it is?"
It's no wonder that Lieutenant General Alondo is so angry, it's really too embarrassing, at the beginning of the exercise, a helicopter and 14 commandos were boiled in a spoonful, and the subsequent artillery fire was immediate, the problem was that the Chinese airborne troops were withdrawn in a more timely manner, and the result was that the 6th Special Operations Battalion fought very fiercely and made it very lively, but it was frantically exported to the meaningless open space, and even half of the opponent's hair was not touched.
If this is somewhere else, watching the Sixth Special Operations Battalion do this, at most he covers his face and pretends not to know, the question is whether Lieutenant General Alondo is good in the general director's department, looking at the Chinese leaders who frequently cast that kind of doubt with a bit of pity in their eyes, Lieutenant General Alondo is going crazy, this face is all lost Nima.
So he hurried to the Thai Army garrison not far away, connected to the radio, and scolded Lieutenant Colonel Shinano for a while, his intention was obvious, that is, to let his capable subordinate not be so iron-clad and simple to make people look at it as a joke.
It's just that what Lieutenant General Alondo didn't know was that Lieutenant Colonel Shinano on the other end of the radio heard that the fire attack just now had no effect at all, and the whole person was stunned.
How can it be!
Such a strong signal source, such a strong artillery attack, at least one or two people should be injured, how can it have no effect at all, surprised, Shinano once again looked at the radio reverse tracking signal source and judged, that's right, not long after the fire attack, the powerful signal source was gone, it was obvious that it was caused by the hit of the shell, and there was no loss?
"Commander, I'm ......"
"I don't listen to your explanation, I only look at the effect!" Alondo didn't give Lieutenant Colonel Shinano a chance to continue, and turned off the radio with a cold drop, Lieutenant Colonel Shinano shouted a few words into the intercom, but didn't get a response, so he could only put down the intercom helplessly, and then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Then he raised his head and looked at the other officers and soldiers of the Sixth Special Operations Battalion who were also stunned, and were just about to say something impassioned to encourage morale, but the communications soldier in charge of monitoring took the lead and reported loudly: "Sir, the same frequency signal source from before has reappeared. ”
As soon as he heard this, Shinano couldn't care about motivating his morale, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "How far is it from the coordinates of 156,429?"
"This ......" The communications soldier looked like a ghost, and he didn't know how to answer.
Lieutenant Colonel Shinano effectively impatient: "Hurry up and answer." ”
"Yes!" the signal soldier nodded hurriedly: "It's fifty kilometers away from the coordinates of 156,429, and ...... And...... It's fifty kilometers northeast of ......"
"What?"
When Shinano heard this, he almost jumped up from the spot without being surprised, not only him, but also the liaison officer of the director's department, who had been watching coldly, also widened his eyes, and was obviously shocked by the words of the communication soldier just now.
It has only been more than ten minutes since the sudden attack of firepower, and the signal source of the same frequency has actually moved fifty kilometers, what speed is this?
The power of the off-road vehicle of the command cabin vehicle of the Focus-2 UAV system on the complex road seems to be only 50 kilometers per hour, but the signal source that is obviously the mobile command headquarters actually moves 50 kilometers in more than ten minutes.
The problem is that the speed is just fast, and the coordinates of the shelling area are 50 kilometers northeast, so didn't that enter the depth zone of the 6th Special Operations Battalion? The mobile command post of the Chinese attacking force entered the deep zone of the Thai army's defense.
I don't know if Zheng Quanli is crazy or not, but Lieutenant Colonel Shinano is really going crazy, the previous firepower attack did not reach the command headquarters of the people, but now it is good, the people directly enter the depth of his defense, if this develops and a center blossoms, then their sixth special operations battalion will be in danger.
However, just as Lieutenant Colonel Shinano was thinking about what to do, the American-made radio station suddenly heard the terrified screams of the commander of the artillery unit: "Sir, we have been attacked by air, and it was a missile strike, oh, no......"
With a cry of despair, the non-standard Thai language of the director officer came over the radio: "All killed!"
