Chapter 769: Fatal Start
The terrible sirens sounded in the thick darkness of the night, and the anti-aircraft artillery immediately cooperated with the radar to aim at the rear of the troops. Mamba's air defense units were well-trained, with dozens of soldiers spreading out in pickup trucks with high-powered searchlights on and low-altitude anti-aircraft bazookas aimed at the dark sky.
This very primitive air defense system can sometimes have unexpected effects. The dispersed pickup trucks can not only form an anti-aircraft fire network, but also pose a deadly threat to incoming low-altitude enemy aircraft.
The helicopter gunship turned its nose according to the prompts of the ground radar and stared at the direction of the enemy plane's attack.
Suddenly, less than a kilometer away from the large army on both sides of the road, more than a dozen miniature ** spewing bright tail flames were launched from the ground. Because the distance was too close, the six helicopters in the rear did not even react, and they were hit by the fuselage and fell to the ground with black smoke. The spinning helicopter wings hit the ground and scraped the soldiers of the ground forces to pieces, and the whole ground was thrown into chaos again.
Equipped with a new type of combat weapon, the sharp knife used the ground-to-air miniature ** in individual combat weapons to destroy the helicopter gunship at the first time. They lurked like ghosts in the ground on both sides of the road, and they could not be spotted by the vehicles they had dug over the fortifications they had dug out.
Immediately afterwards, the air defense ** car also suffered a devastating blow. The individual combat weapon equipped with the sharp knife is fully fired, and the ground-to-ground ** is launched. Already equipped with a GPS guidance system, it only took two seconds for the internal microcomputer to automatically calculate the distance to the target and match the terrain data. Because the reconnaissance company had already determined the security of the surroundings, and because these sharp knives were all in the form of individual soldiers around the Mamba Army, the attacked Mamba troops still did not know which side of the troops attacked themselves.
However, they had no chance to know, as the air defense ** car that could really threaten the high altitude was destroyed, more than a dozen white points of light on the radar car descended on the heads of the entire Mamba troops like a grim reaper.
In the darkness, the roar of aircraft engines could be heard from afar. The high-power searchlight nervously shot the beam into the air, but the Mamba troops, who had lost their air defense vehicles, could no longer defend themselves against threats from high altitudes by relying only on the hand-held anti-aircraft rocket launchers that defended against low-altitude helicopters.
More than a dozen attack planes swaggered over the Mamba troops at a low speed, dropping what all tank armored units feared the most - cluster **.
The sleeping earth was like a giant beast that had been stung and then suddenly awakened in its sleep. When the sub-munitions of the cluster ** exploded, the whole earth jumped violently. Tanks, armoured clusters, armed forces clusters were concentrated in a large burning baking pan, and the explosions and flames quickly engulfed the entire Mamba unit.
Clusters** have long been restricted by the Convention, but on the African continent, even if the Nigerian government forces protest to the United Nations, it will not have much effect, let alone rebels like Mamba.
When the attack planes that had been eliminated by the attack planes flew slowly, in just one round, the Mamba's proudest tank armor cluster was blown up by the cluster**.
After throwing away the cluster**, the attack plane did not leave, but turned around in the airspace ahead and re-bombed. This type of aircraft, which flies slowly and specializes in attacking the ground, has long been replaced by fighter planes in modern warfare, but in Africa, in this dark airspace with no prevention and control measures, they are the kings of the air.
In the midst of a wail, the tanks and armored vehicles that had not been attacked by the cluster** began to break through, and they scattered along the road to both sides like alarmed hornets. Tanks and armoured vehicles incapacitated by a cluster attack could only wait helplessly for the attack aircraft to fly back from a distance for a precise second bomb drop.
General Mamba's most elite Fourth Army lost its combat capability after two cluster launches by attack aircraft. The remaining stragglers who fled in all directions will also receive a fatal follow-up blow.
In this operation, Ye Tian sent a total of forty sharp knives carrying the latest individual combat weapons. The combat idea is simple and straightforward: use the ground-to-air and ground-to-ground ** carried by sharp knives to hide at close range, and then find an opportunity to knock out the armed helicopters and air defense vehicles that pose a threat to the attack aircraft. When the entire airspace is cleared, the Strike Aircraft, which has been eliminated, drops a cluster ** that has a lethal effect on the tank armor cluster. All that's left is for Gary and Sora's forces to put the finishing touches.
Because of the strong electronic suppression, the radio signal of the entire area could not be transmitted. It wasn't until a few armored vehicles ran out of the electronic suppression area that General Mamba received the bad news.
"General Mamba, our troops have been attacked by a cluster from the air. Most of the troops are incapacitated, ask for your support!" the voice over the walkie-talkie was crying, and the voice suppressed by electronics was slightly distorted. Mamba held the walkie-talkie and felt his hands tremble.
Originally, he wanted to disguise himself as a ****, but the extreme smoothness made him a self-aggrandizing idiot. General Mamba's Fourth Army was the most elite armored army in the entire corps, and this corps was completely annihilated, leaving only the elite independent regiment sent by Mamba to defend against the central government of Nigeria. If you hadn't been so careless at that time and released your precious third-generation fighters, those strong attack planes with slow speed and weak attack power would have been shot down by fighter planes in one round.
Thinking of this, Mamba hurriedly ordered the chief of staff to issue a combat order, and all the third-generation fighters and second-and-a-half generation fighters parked in the hangar rose into the air. As long as his independent regiment still has combat effectiveness, he still has a chance to win back a game.
"General Mamba, as long as our fighter jets are in the air, even if it's a third-generation aircraft, it's easy to take out those damn bugs. Before General Mamba's chief of staff could give the order to the Independence Regiment, a shrill emergency phone rang.
The phone was an encrypted line for the Independent Regiment, and Mamba swallowed, and the room was so quiet that you could hear the sweat beads on her face falling to the ground.
The chief of staff slowly grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button, and sat down in his chair.
"General Mamba. The chief of staff raised his head with difficulty, and his black and white eyes glared at the mamba like a dead fish.
"The Independence Regiment called, and the airport and hangar were attacked by unknown militants. Suffering heavy losses, the Fourth Army was requested to immediately go to support. ”
