Chapter 55: The Little Mountain Eagle (2)

Today's exercise is over, and in a few days there will be a confrontation exercise with new equipment.

Of course, the main equipment of the armored division is tanks, but recently, the higher authorities have equipped the armored division with ten small helicopter gunships.

The reason is that in recent years, with the rapid development of the Air Force, the original two-dimensional ground war has become a three-dimensional three-dimensional war.

In future wars, the main form of combat will be the three-dimensional coordinated combat mode between various arms of the armed forces. The single form of infantry confrontation no longer exists.

Because in the process of attacking, the infantry will be attacked by various fires of the enemy, the main of which is the attack of small helicopters in the air.

Therefore, the higher authorities now demand that the armored division also adapt itself to this new war change and conduct an actual combat confrontation exercise in which helicopter gunships and tanks are carried out among the armored divisions in Jianghai City.

On this day, the weather is sunny and the autumn is crisp, making it a good weather for outdoor activities.

Chen Daotian, seeing that the weather was good, naturally arranged for his tank regiment to conduct military exercises.

A total of ten small helicopter gunships were given to the armored division. Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Wangfa's tank regiments, each regiment had five helicopters.

The exercise was still in the form of confrontation, with Yan Mingcheng's tank regiment and Zhao Wangfa's tank regiment each dispatching 20 tanks to attack the opponent's high ground under the cover of five helicopters.

Whoever occupies the opposing high ground first will be the victor.

The exercise entered the preparatory stage, and 20 tanks of the two regiments drove into the position first. Then, ten small helicopter gunships, piloted by professional pilots, also landed on the position.

As soon as he was ready, he was just waiting for Master Chen's order.

There is still a period of time, Yan Mingcheng can call Zhao Wangfa and ask each other how the other party is preparing.

"Yan Mingcheng! How about it, are you ready! Last time, you captured my high ground, this time, I will never lose to you again. ”

Zhao Wangfa thought of the last time, his position was occupied by Yan Mingcheng, and he was punished by the division commander with a hundred push-ups, making him a loser, and of course he was angry with Yan Mingcheng in his heart.

In this live-war exercise, he was determined to get his face back.

"Zhao Wangba, don't worry, I will beat you down this time, and your face will never be recovered in my Yan Mingcheng's opinion. ”

War is not only a confrontation between soldiers, but also a psychological war between commanders.

Before the two sides officially went to war, the commanders were bickering. The goal is to overwhelm the other side in morale.

"Yan Mingcheng, your grandson has listened to me, I, Zhao Wangfa, have decided to eat you this time, you might as well surrender obediently! This time we are competing not only against tanks, but also against helicopter gunships!"

"What's wrong with the gunship, I'll still beat you. ”

"Haha, joke, your helicopter pilots are all just trained, and my helicopter pilots are all transferred from other air force units. They all have years of driving experience, and this time, you just throw in the towel!"

Because it is new equipment, there are fewer drivers. There are only five pilots of these ten helicopters. Originally, at least two people had to be divided into two people for Yan Mingcheng's troops! However, because Zhao Wangba had a good relationship with a deputy division commander, and this deputy division commander was in charge of this matter, all these old drivers became Zhao Wangba's, and Yan Mingcheng did not have one. His drivers are all newly trained.

"Don't talk so much, my newly trained pilots can still defeat your old drivers, let's see you on the battlefield!"

Before the exercise began, the commanders of the two sides first engaged in a war of words.

Of course, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat in a war of words. Only by using real guns can we distinguish the winner from the loser.

"The exercise begins!" Division Commander Chen gave orders to Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Wangfa.

For a time, there was a loud burst of gunfire and a roar of machines on the battlefield, and a three-dimensional coordinated combat exercise of mountain armored units began.

First, there was a contest between tanks. Since it was a drill, it was naturally impossible to use real shells, so the barrel of the tank was filled with empty shells. There are no warheads, just bluffs and does not hit the opposing tanks.

What really capable of hitting the opposing tanks were several helicopter gunships in the air.

These helicopters are also the latest new types of weapons and equipment developed by the Armament Department, because they are relatively small in size, and the head of the helicopter resembles an eagle's head, so they are called small mountain eagles.

The bottom of each of the 10 eagles carried five small rockets, which were specially used during the exercise.

Each rocket is only half a meter long and only five centimeters in diameter. There is also very little charge inside. It is only capable of flying a distance of more than two hundred meters.

There are also very few warheads, although they can explode, but the power is small, and it is simply impossible to break through a tank with armor thickness of up to five centimeters.

But the tank must always be 'injured' during the exercise! Otherwise, how can they defeat the opponent! Therefore, the personnel of the exercise designed an oil pipeline on the outside of the tank's front armor, and this oil pipeline was connected to the oil pipeline inside the tank.

As soon as this exposed oil pipeline is blown up, the tank's engine will be denied fuel, and the tank will automatically shut down.

Of course, in order to make the exercise more vivid, there was also a smoke screen wrapped around this exposed oil pipe. As soon as the pipeline is blown up, the smoke screen will smoke and the tank will automatically ignite.

The exercise officially began, and the small flying eagle gunships of both sides also flew up.

After a bravado of tank cannons, the eagle began to attack the opposing tank.

Originally, Zhao Wangfa felt that he would definitely be able to deserve the victory of this exercise this time. Because the pilots of his helicopters are all veteran pilots, with several years of driving experience. And Yan Mingcheng's drivers are all novices.

Theoretically speaking, Zhao Wangfa's driver must be able to destroy all Yan Mingcheng's tanks first.

But in fact, as soon as the war began, Yan Mingcheng's helicopter quickly destroyed Zhao Wangba's three tanks. And Zhao Wangba's helicopter did not destroy a single tank of Yan Mingcheng.

It turned out that before Yan Mingcheng, when training the driver, he had already simulated shooting training. Since these drivers are novices, they also learn very seriously and train hard. It quickly mastered the essentials, and the shooting accuracy also improved rapidly.

But Zhao Wangfa's driver thought he was a veteran and didn't need to train at all, so when he was training, he was lazy and didn't train hard.

The result is conceivable. Yan Mingcheng's helicopter quickly destroyed Zhao Wangfa's ten tanks, and he had already lost more than half of them.
