Thanks to the reactive armor!

ZHANG CHUNRUI, WHO CAME BACK TO HIS SENSES, QUICKLY OPERATED THE FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM, TURNED THE HUGE TURRET OF THE SIBERIAN TIGER II, AND IMMEDIATELY LOCKED ON THE T72 THAT ATTACKED HIM AT A DISTANCE OF 600 METERS.

The roaring armor-piercing projectile penetrated the front armor of the T72 from the front, and the entire tank burst into a fireball, and the strong kinetic energy and jet made the T72 explode immediately.

The violent explosion threw the burning turret of the T72 five or six meters away, and then smashed it to the ground, smashing a trailing PT36 to the ground.

"Attention of the company, the enemy's main force is coming!" "The general channel of the car radio inside the Siberian Tiger II came with a report from the avant-garde reconnaissance unit:

"In the No. 3 area, T72 is twenty-five and T62 is sixty. ”

"In the fourth area, there are thirty-five T72 tanks and fifty T62 tanks. ”

"In the fifth area, there are thirty T72 tanks and fifty-five T55 tanks!"

The constant reports from the observation posts about receiving the enemy immediately caused a noisy shout on the radio, "Assault! Assault of the first armored company! Attack of the third armored company......

Dozens of T72 main battle tanks must have emerged from the horizon in a row, roaring at high speed towards the defensive ground where Zhang Chunrui was located.

THE POSITION WAS FULL OF FIRELIGHT, AND THE HIGH-EXPLOSIVE SHELLS SPRAYED BY THE 36 130MM CANNONS, UNDER THE PRECISE CONTROL OF THE ARTILLERY FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM, FORMED A DENSE FIRE NETWORK IN FRONT OF THE ARMORED IRON STREAM OF THE ANNAMITE ARMY.

Four Su-25s captured this scene in the air and quickly and viciously pounced, trying to remove all obstacles for the counterattack forces of the Annam People's Army on the ground.

Sixteen twin-mounted 57 anti-aircraft guns on the defensive line flexibly rotated their gun positions and firing angles under the control of the Houyi fire control system while firing fiercely.

The two Su-25 fighters were immediately knocked down by the anti-aircraft fire from the counterattack. Playing the rotor and dragging the smoke, he fell helplessly to the ground. Exploded into four dazzling fireballs.

However, the UB32A rocket pods under the belly of the other two Su-25 fighters quickly turned the self-propelled 57 anti-aircraft guns in four positions into four piles of flames.

Furthermore, I quickly called for the support of my companions.

12 Su-25 fighters followed. Meticulously swept away the air defense of the Chinese army. All the pulsed signals that appear will be attacked by the AS-11 air-to-surface missiles of the Su-25 anti-radiation, and in order to assist Wen Jinyong in launching this counterattack codenamed "United Force", the Soviet Air Force Aid Security Volunteers serve as air fire cover. Bombing any various targets that appear on their radar displays at any cost.

Another four-plane Su-25 strike plane broke through the anti-aircraft fire circle on our defense line with ultra-low and high flight, and eight 240-mm S-24 guided rockets mounted on the wings roared out. Bombed an anti-aircraft radar on the rear line of our army into a pile of scrap metal.

Suddenly, our troops, deprived of aerial fire support, seemed to have become extremely uncomfortable for a while. The counterattack that began in a daze could not pose a threat to the enemy's air power at all, on the contrary, the constantly exposed firepower points were destroyed by the strong strike force of the Su-25 raging in the raging sky.

If the Anjun army's heavily armed troops keep entering Nanding City and recovering Nanding, it is very likely that the two armored divisions and two infantry divisions that we have thrown into this battlefield will form a dangerous situation of division and encirclement.

More than forty low-altitude assault Su-25 fighters. Fearlessly attacking the exposed defenders with airborne weapons, the improvised fortifications were smashed with 30mm cannon shells and stained with blood, but the rain of bullets on the counterattack on the position never stopped. The rain-down machine-gun bullets hit the Su-25 armor floor intensively, and sparks flew everywhere.

The spiritual atomic bomb exerted its super power at this moment. Chinese soldiers bravely and fearlessly defend their honor!

In the northern sky, the long-awaited roar of jet fighters was finally heard.

Forty-eight Jian-7s, two planes formed a horizontal formation, like forty-eight angry arrows shooting at the Su-25 group in the sky.

Forty-five Su-25s, which had received radar signals early, calmly fired a salvo of AA-8 air-to-air missiles.

In an instant, eleven Jian-7s were beaten into eleven fireballs.

However, the remaining 37 Jian-7s continued to rush forward without fear, and instantly rushed the Su-25 group in the sky to maneuver around to evade.

"Comrades! Although our planes are inferior to those of the Soviet Union, we are the Chinese Air Force and Chinese soldiers! Dying on the battlefield is the best destination for soldiers, and we must hold back the Su-25 attack formation of the Soviet Air Force at all costs and buy time for our army's reinforcements who are about to rush to the battlefield!

The impassioned roar of Shen Guozhong, the commander of the Jian-7 Flying Regiment, sounded on the radios of all the 37 Jian-7s that were still rushing forward.

"Be a hero in life, and be a ghost in death!"

"Be a hero in life, and be a ghost in death!"

"Be a hero in life, and be a ghost in death!"

“……”

Thirty-seven Jian-7 pilots of our army all shouted their firm conviction on the radio.

In the electronic command center of the Lang Son DA Division, Yang Weiping listened to the declaration of the officers and men of our army who regarded death as if they were at home from the radio station, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang of cramp, feeling like he was dripping blood.

Although he had expected that the Soviet Air Force would definitely counterattack, he did not expect Pokryshkin's return fire to come so quickly and so ferociously.

Both the Air Force and the Army are beginning to their tails, but it is really not appropriate for him to strike a blow at the high morale of our army at a time when the whole front of our army is victorious.

In desperation, he could only make the greatest possible use of some of the rights in his hands and make corresponding arrangements.

At three o'clock in the morning on April 9, while Wen Jinyong gathered all the armor strength of the Annan army to launch a counterattack, 25 Su-24 fighter-bombers of the Soviet Air Force to aid security volunteers were dispatched at the same time, flying at a low altitude from the sea, avoiding the radar search of our army's anti-aircraft radar and early warning aircraft on duty, and heading straight for Lang Son.

Major Vasilyev of the Soviet Air Force when he engaged the Huaxia Air Force in the airspace twenty kilometers north of Nanding. In the course of the air battle, his airborne radar searched for three high-power signal stations in the direction of Hanoi that continuously transmitted signals.

After Pokryshkin heard Vasilyev tell about this situation, he immediately remembered that the British Luftwaffe also used multi-point radiolocation coordinates when it carried out long-range bombing in World War II.

Although it is a backward thing during World War II. However, if you use it flexibly, the effect is also very good.

In Pokryshkin's tactical thinking, he has always believed in one thing: "There are no backward tactics, only backward minds!"

After it was determined that the Huaxia Air Force would launch a counterattack. Pokryshkin's first tactical goal was to knock out these three signal points.

To this end, he immediately ordered all 25 Su-24 fighter-bombers to be dispatched, while Wen Jinyong launched a counterattack. The intention was to knock out the radio command system of the Chinese army first through tactical bombing.

Through the information provided by the agents of the Annam intelligence department lurking in Hanoi and Lang Son, the 25 Su-24s were divided into three groups and rushed to Hanoi and Lang Son respectively.

Director Yang, who had long expected that there would be a big operation in Pokryshkin, knew that the Soviet Air Force aid volunteers had a batch of Su-24 fighter-bombers, so of course they were extremely cautious. If this batch of F14A tomcats assembled by the Su-24 will be deployed at Hanoi Airport and the F14A tomcats assembled by Cat's Nest No. 3 deployed at Lang Son on the airport runway, then he will not pick up a stone and smash God!

Based on this consideration. Yang Weiping didn't care whether the Air Force was willing or not, and insisted that the two F14 independent flying groups, Maowo No. 2 and Maowo No. 3, must ensure that fighters are on duty 24 hours a day, regardless of day or night.

At the same time, he took advantage of his good relations with the South China Sea Fleet. persuaded the fleet commander to transfer all the F14 HNA independent brigades assigned to the Navy from Yongdao Airport to the Annam battlefield.

It is also thanks to Director Yang's suspicious nature and extreme caution. The Su-24 fighter-bomber formation, which was flying at a low altitude, was discovered by two F14A four-plane formations that had been cruising in the air before they approached the two large military airfields in Hanoi and Lang Son.

From Hanoi to Lang Son, there are more than 70 kilometers of mountain roads, and there are quite a few radar stations and antiaircraft artillery positions of our army on the heights of each main peak.

Sixteen Su-14s, which broke through the F24A fighter formation, were soon intercepted by fire from ground-based anti-aircraft artillery units.

Moreover, 12 Qiang-5 air-mounted aerial combat missiles were immediately launched into the air at Hanoi and Lang Son airports.

In this case, these Su-24 fighter-bombers could only launch air-to-surface missiles in advance, indiscriminately throw away the heavy bombs they were loaded, and then quickly evacuate and return home.

The Su-24 fighter-bomber formation, which failed in the raid, was knocked out six of the eight F14s with immortal bird missiles in the first round, and then three were beaten down by the ground anti-aircraft artillery unit, and the remaining sixteen were blocked by the twenty-four F14A Tomcats that rushed from the Woody Island airport when they were evacuated in a hurry.

As a result, this batch of Su-24 fighter-bombers will be a complete tragedy, and the whole army will be wiped out.

After shooting down the last Su-24, the sky was already bright.

The Soviet Air Force sent all the fighters to increase the air fire support for Wen Jinyong's ground attack.

Maowo No. 2 and Maowo No. 3, which have been relieved, all 38 F14As that can take off are in the air. (Nine planes failed to take off due to continuous high-intensity operations)

The 23 MiG-29s strictly carried out Pokryshkin's tactical arrangement of air combat, and engaged in fierce aerial combat with the F14 at an altitude of 6,000 meters.

Thirty-eight F14A tomcats belonging to Cat's Nest No. 2 and Cat's Nest No. 3, which originally thought they had a numerical advantage, immediately launched a hunt for these 23 MiG-29s.

However, unexpectedly, within a minute of the engagement, forty-four MiG-25s suddenly swooped in from an altitude of 22,000 meters, using their high-speed penetration and the identification system of friend or foe, to shoot down twelve F14A Tomcats on the spot with a salvo.

At the same time that this batch of MiG-25s attacked the F14 from a high altitude, the other two MiG-25s made full use of the excellent performance of high-altitude and high-speed penetration, and a YJ01 early warning plane of our army circling in the airspace behind was also shot down.

The formation of F14 fighters, which lost the air information command provided by AWACS aircraft, suddenly fell into a state of confusion.

At this time, 24 F14A Tomcats of the No. 4 formation of Maowo, which had rushed from Woody Island, had just landed at Lang Son Airport to replenish aviation fuel and air-to-air missiles.

The 50 Su-25 fighter planes, which were no longer threatened by fighters, took full advantage of this opportunity to launch a frenzied attack on our armored units.

If this batch of Su-25 attack planes is not stopped in time, the last line of defense under the command of Yang Dezhi will face the crisis of collapse of the entire line.

At such a critical juncture, Air Force Commander Zhang Tinghua resolutely ordered all 48 Jian-7 planes of the two Jian-7 flight regiments, which had long been ready to take off into the air, to dispatch all 48 Jian-7s, and desperately tried to drag down the 50 Su-25s of the Soviet Air Force.

At the same time, Zhang Tinghua asked 48 Qiang-5 and 12 A10 planes on standby at Lang Son and Hanoi airports to simultaneously strike at the heavy troops and anti-aircraft missile units commanded by Wen Jinyong.

This was one of the fiercest and most tragic tank battles and air battles that broke out on Earth since the end of the Second World Realm.

Time, tanks and warplanes on both sides are racing against time for their respective troops.

Wen Jinyong lost the air fire support provided by the Su-25 fighter plane in the air, and the ferocious offensive was suddenly frustrated.

Wen Jinyong, who had already fought hard, could not take into account Pokryshkin's air combat tactical arrangements at this time, and immediately ordered the 18 MiG-23 and MiG-21 of the Annam Air Force, which were originally going to cooperate with the Soviet Air Force, to quickly dispatch to carry out a surprise attack on the Jian-7, Qiang-5, and A10 of the Huaxia Air Force.

Moreover, Wen Jintong ordered all SA2, SA3, and SA6 anti-aircraft missile units to be dispatched. Together with the ZSU234 and Yenisei 37 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns of the Annam Air Defense Forces, they desperately fired at the Qiang-5 and A10 fighters of the Huaxia Air Force.

For Wen Jinyong's order, Pokryshkin felt very helpless.

After all, this is Annan, and he, the Marshal of the Soviet Air Force, is not the Marshal of the Air Force of Annan, and the Air Force of Annam must be under their command.

In Pokeley's eyes, what kind of Su-25 and the ground forces are like, he does not care at all. In his opinion, as long as the MiG-29 and MiG-25 tactics are used to cooperate, all the F14 fighters of the Huaxia Air Force are defeated and air supremacy is seized, it is a victory!

The eighteen MiG-23s and MiG-21s of the Annan Air Force were originally used by Pokryshkin to cover the retreat of the MiG-29 for air interception. Because the air time of the MiG-29 is limited.

Pokryshkin understood the weakness of the MiG-29, and the pilots of the 21 existing F14As of the No. 2 Cat Nest No. 3 that were engaged in a melee with the MiG-29 and MiG-25 aircraft groups also remembered the weakness of the MiG-29 that Director Yang told them.

Wang Wei, the captain of the Maowo 26 formation, who is also the captain of the F14 Aviation Independent Brigade of Maowo No. 2, gritted his teeth and shouted at his comrades-in-arms who were still fighting on the strike channel: "Brothers! Persistence! Persistence is victory! Lao Maozi's MiG-29 is running out of gas!"

"Resolutely complete the task!"

"Resolutely complete the task!"

"Resolutely complete the task!"

“……”

Forty-two pilots of the 21 F14A Tomcat fighters that were still fighting in the sky were still fighting in the sky on the Maowo 2 and Maowo 3 shouted their battle oath over the radio station in unison.

At Lang Son Airport, the 24 F14A Tomcats belonging to Maowo No. 4 are finally ready to take off under the maximum work efficiency of the ground crew. (To be continued.) )
