Chapter 464: Aerial Assault

Song Ke sat at the door of the helicopter and watched the ground pass backwards like a floating shadow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sound of the propellers above was distracting, but as a company commander of the Air Assault Battalion, he was a little addicted to the engine sound of the Black Hawk helicopter after a long period of training.

A general-purpose machine gun was erected at the door of the left compartment of the helicopter, and to be honest, Song Ke had seen the General Electric M134 Gatling gun that the Americans had equipped on the Black Hawk helicopter. Compared to the six-barreled Gatling, nicknamed the mini-cannon, the Type 80 general-purpose machine gun is not far from each other in terms of power and firepower. But in Song Ke's opinion, the Type 80 general-purpose machine gun also has its own advantages, that is, a long continuous firing time. There are no bad weapons, only people who don't know how to use them.

His gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers under his command one by one, and every soldier in the Air Assault Battalion could at least serve as a qualified squad leader or even a platoon commander or company commander in an ordinary company.

First of all, the soldiers of the Air Assault Battalion are definitely the most outstanding group of the PLA in terms of mastery of techniques and tactics.

Secondly, in the selection of soldiers, it is not only required to be politically reliable, but also to have at least the level of cultural courses at the level of high school. Some of the rural soldiers have low educational qualifications, but they have good seedlings, and the brigade specially invited teachers from key state high schools to give them tutoring classes.

In addition to the basic individual skills in the training, they also have to learn a variety of special combat techniques, some special skills, which can be said to be more elite than ordinary special forces.

Each of the fighters sitting in the helicopter cabin today is not necessarily much cheaper than the fighter pilot.

There was almost silence in the cockpit except for the sound of the engine and the wind. Some soldiers were closing their eyes to recuperate, while others were checking their equipment again and again. It's not the first time they've rushed into the battlefield, and they have a strong enough mental quality.

But going 200 kilometers behind enemy lines and destroying a heavily fortified long-wave early warning radar station is still something they have never experienced.

Two hundred kilometers behind enemy lines, they will be left alone. A single company with only light weapons attacked two companies of elite garrisons, who were battle-hardened but still mortal.

They are not afraid of sacrifice, but they are afraid that they will not be able to complete the task and live up to the expectations of the country.

The Lang Son front line is 166 kilometers in a straight line from Bullet Hill, and it took only 45 minutes to reach its destination with the Black Hawk helicopters moving at full speed.

There wasn't much time left for Song Ke and his soldiers, and just as his gaze returned to the tactical watch on his wrist, the voice of the helicopter pilot could already be heard in his ear bag.

"In the last five minutes, we are about to reach the number one tactical objective!"

"Check the equipment!" Song Ke immediately shouted, and the communication lines inside the helicopter carried his voice into the ear bags of each soldier.

Immediately, everyone began to carefully and seriously check the equipment on their bodies.

Tactical rails, front grips, tactical flashlights, and holoscopes, the Bayi automatic rifles, which originally looked no different from the AK series, are now completely different in their hands.

It took five minutes for the heavily armed soldiers to check their equipment. By the time they had completed their pre-battle preparations, the Black Hawk helicopters had gradually landed on the ground under the cover of the hovering Dolphin helicopters.

Song Ke was the first to stand up in the crowd, he unfastened his seat belt and pulled off the call ear bag. He shouted in a voice that was no less impressive than that of a turboshaft engine: "Follow me!"

With that, the first one jumped out of the helicopter and ran towards the vast unknown battlefield - this is not accurate.

"Signal Corps!"

Lang Son before the finger.

The voice of Song Ke, commander of the second company of the Air Assault Battalion, could be heard in the entire command center of the open air assault battalion headquarters, and he was standing in front of an open field not far from the bullet mountain, with a steady stream of soldiers jumping from helicopters behind him, and a signal soldier carrying a communication radio on his back was half-kneeling beside him.

The sound of an automatic rifle in the hand of the signal soldier echoed throughout the command center. The signal of the radio passed through the relay of the communications drone, and it echoed in the ears of the commanders of all composite brigades almost without delay.

"Report to the battalion commander, the second company has arrived at the first tactical point and is being fiercely attacked by the enemy's garrison company at the foot of the mountain, request fire support, request fire support!"

Needless to say, the requested fire support requested by Song Ke was by no means a request for the PLZ-45 self-propelled gun, which had a range of 155 mm and "only" 39 km for the support of the Zengcheng grenade.

The distance between the two is currently more than one hundred and fifty kilometers in a straight line, and the PLZ-45 is inevitably overwhelmed.

"Air Force Command, please coordinate operations. Shannuo quickly gave an order to Director Xu of the Air Force Command.

At this time, the combat staff officer of the Air Force was already calling the fighters on standby in the air: "White Goose Cave and White Goose Cave, ready to go for reinforcements." Truth Hole, Truth Hole, Anti-Radiation Cover!"

After forty minutes of aerial confrontation, with four F14 fighters acting as AWACS aircraft, the sky north of Hanoi was already in the hands of the Republic Air Force.

And the price paid for this is only that less than ten J-7 fighters were injured or crashed. However, the number of MiG-23M and MiG-21BS they shot down has exceeded 40, which can be called a perfect victory.

Director Xu, who was in the same room, quickly replied: "The two strong five fighter planes are already on the way to attack and are expected to arrive within a minute." ”

The old machine of the Qiangwu does not look at the equipment for a long time, but it is really a fighter that is quite excellent in terms of thought and design. The design of the air intakes on both sides is 20 years earlier than that of the J-82, emphasizing that it can still forcibly support the front-line battlefield without fully mastering or even losing air supremacy.

Its battlefield survivability, speed and firepower can be said to be completely tailored to the republican power at that time. The maximum take-off weight of eleven tons makes it a well-deserved bomb truck.

The air force fighters, which had already been cruising over the battlefield, turned on the afterburner and quickly approached the bullet mountain. Within a minute, it was enough for these fighters to reach any point in the theater of operations north of Hanoi and south of Lang Son.

However, it turned out that the Annan Air Force was not sitting still. When he received the attack on the bullet mountain warning radar, the commander of the air force already realized that if his only eye was destroyed, then the Annan air force would really become blind.

At this time, he didn't care about retaining his strength, and hurriedly ordered the surrounding garrison troops to reinforce Bullet Mountain. At the same time, an order was given to the anti-aircraft missile positions protecting the early warning radar of the bullet hill.

The SAM-2 missile was an air defense missile that Annan was equipped with in large quantities, and at its peak it was equipped with 30 battalions of air defense troops! During the Vietnam War, this kind of missile showed its skills and brought very heavy losses to the US military.

But this also shows one thing, that is, the Americans' research on this missile can be said to be very in-depth.

When the anti-aircraft missile radar around Bullet Mountain was turned on, the F14 fighters escorting the Qiang-5 attack aircraft had already quickly locked on to their radar radiation source.

Although the Annan air defense position warmed up the missiles in advance, it still took time for the radar to lock on the attack target and transmit data.

As soon as the search radar of the standard anti-radiation missile in the SAM-2 missile was activated, the target had already been sensitively discovered. Before the data processing of its old 60s tube radar was completed, the anti-radiation missile on the F14 had already been launched.

There is no shortage of Sam missiles in Annam, but radar is a sophisticated piece of equipment. A radar system is at least 500,000 rubles, which is simply a sky-high price for Annan, who is completely dependent on food relief.

This wave of search radars was destroyed, and the airspace around Bullet Mountain was completely open to the air force of the Republic.

Even if the Annan Air Defense Force completed the on-site assembly of the Sam-2 missile -- Annam's Sam-2 missile, except for the troops on duty, actually needed to be assembled and filled with highly toxic fuel.

It is conceivable that, at least for a short time, the airspace around Bullet Hill by the Annam Air Defense Forces will no longer pose a threat.

The heavily armed Qiangwu fighter planes arrived belatedly, and when they looked down from the sky, they had already formed a pot of porridge around the bullet mountain.

A company of Annan's troops stationed at the foot of Bullet Mountain was killed in a sea of corpses and blood in the Vietnam War. At this time, the offensive was really quite fierce, and when it was learned that the Chinese Air Force was about to rush to the battlefield, it was even more desperate to close the distance between the two sides with the air assault company.

Song Ke held the radio microphone in one hand and turned on the company walkie-talkie in the other, and began to issue orders to the squad and platoon commanders: "Air force support will arrive soon, and each squad will turn on infrared identification of friend and foe!"

The pilot of the Qiang-5 attack plane fastened the infrared laser viewing mirror fixed on the helmet to one eye, and suddenly a different scene appeared on the ground under his feet.

On one side, dusk was coming to an end, and the ground was littered with unsightly bullets. However, on the other side, the earth seems to have turned into the sky, and the regular infrared light signal is constantly blinking.

The position of the enemy and us, so far the scene is clear.

"Swan Cave two, I'll come first, and you will supplement the bombardment later. ”

The long plane of the strong five formation explained, and the fighter plane roared through the sky. The four 200-kilogram bombs loaded in the belly of the aircraft landed accurately in the center of the garrison company's position, and then circled back, and the fourteen rockets in the two rocket nests under the wings were all launched!

The position of the garrison company suddenly turned into a sea of fire.

Two strong five fighter planes, four attack waves, twenty-two tons of bombs were poured on the enemy's head.

Song Ke got up from the ground and watched the two short-legged Qiang-5 attack planes leave in a hurry, with some mixed feelings in his heart.

"All the soldiers of the company, follow me!"

The U.S. military during the Vietnam War was nothing more than that, right?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly shook his head, the U.S. military in the Vietnam War did not do anything less than throwing bombs on their own heads.

It's so unlucky, the Americans were the vanquished in the Vietnam War. And we, destined to be the victors in this war. (To be continued.) )
