Chapter 331: Can't Go Back
General Wang Lie's headquarters was a simple grass-green military tent, with open personnel entering and exiting on all sides. www.biquge.info In the direction of Hanoi's urban area, there are more than a dozen artillery mirrors along the slope, and several staff officers are bending down to observe the battle situation in the urban area through these high-powered artillery mirrors.
The command was very busy with people coming and going, and many orders were issued from here, either by radio or through the heralds to the actual combat units, forming an attack action one after another.
As soon as Chen Xu stepped into the tent with his front foot, he heard a staff officer who was using the artillery team mirror shouting: "Another helicopter has crashed, located at three o'clock in the west of the city!" ”
At this time, both Wang Lie and Chen Xu hurriedly walked over, each took a gun team mirror and looked at the west of the city, and immediately saw a small bird light armed helicopter with its tail pointed upwards into a residential building, the impact between this helicopter and the building was quite violent, even if it was so far away, Chen Xu felt the terrifying power, and it was conceivable that the pilot inside was afraid that it would be more than lucky.
The number of birds in the helicopter formation is not very large, but it is flexible and maneuverable, and can cooperate with heavy helicopter gunships to fight those fish that slip through the net. However, in fact, the combat efficiency of the Little Bird light gunship on this battlefield is actually no less than that of the Cobra and Apache.
If we count the combat data, we will find that more than 50 percent of the anti-aircraft guns were destroyed by the attack of the birds, and the remaining 30 percent were destroyed by the ground forces one by one, and the two main armed helicopter gunships, the Apache and Cobra, accounted for only 20 percent.
The reason is that the air defense units of the Vietnamese army have focused their attacks on those large and heavy armed forces, but they do not look down on the birds with dark bodies and glass cockpits, after all, this kind of helicopter with an empty weight of only 700 kilograms does not look very powerful, and it is reasonable to be ignored.
As a result, the birds followed directly behind the heavy Wuzhi, using them as bait to attract ground anti-aircraft fire, taking advantage of the weakness to enter, and repeatedly succeeded, destroying one anti-aircraft weapon after another.
Because communications have been cut off, the Vietnamese air defense units are now basically fighting on their own, and there is no communication with each other. Therefore, they have been unable to discover that the birds raging in the sky are the real threats, and those heavy helicopter gunships undertake multiple combat missions, not only to support the ground assault forces, but also to take the initiative to search for various heavy firepower points of the Vietnamese army, but it is not as good as the bird helicopters to focus on the air defense weapons attack, and the results are brilliant.
"According to this situation, there will definitely be more helicopters, we have to be mentally prepared for this." Wang Lie shook his head and said regretfully to Chen Xu, who was holding the artillery team mirror next to him.
"The bottom line in my heart is to fall five fights at most, and if we exceed this number, our losses will be a little too much!" Chen Xu watched the smoke rise from the site where the Little Bird helicopter crashed, and knew that the worst situation was that a fire had occurred.
Now that the commandos have entered the city, if the surrounding commandos see the plane crashing, they will immediately organize forces to go to the rescue, but this kind of crash accident where a fire occurs on the spot, no matter how fast the commandos move, they will not be able to return to the sky.
"Only five? You said it lightly, I don't want to die yet! Before the war is over, no matter how much you care, it will be in vain, and any unexpected situation can make you anxious. Now there have been three falls, all the pilots have been killed, but the ground forces have not suffered any casualties so far, but there are more than 50 wounded, one of them was hit by a bullet in the aortic artery at the base of the thigh, and he would have lost too much blood in more than ten seconds and hung up, but the military doctor who accompanied the team tore his pants, cut his leg muscles with a scalpel, and clamped the aortic with a hemostat, saving the life of his comrade-in-arms within ten seconds. ”
General Wang Lie said that some accidents had just occurred in the war, walked back to the battle map with his hands behind his back, sat on a folding cloth stool and closed his eyes to recuperate, the war has only been open for half an hour now, this urgent and high-intensity front-line command of the operation, so that his brain is overused, and he must use any short time to relax his brain.
"If there is a problem, we will solve it, and if we continue to solve the problem, we will touch the edge of success. Just like this soldier who was hit in the major artery of the leg, he should have died, but the military doctor saved him in the most savage way, which shows that the destiny of heaven is mine, and God is reluctant to sacrifice our heroic soldiers. Chen Xu felt ashamed of those crazy military doctors, especially the trick of cutting the leg to stop the bleeding, which was clearly aimed at saving his life or not his leg. However, in the case of the rupture of the major artery in the leg, the blood of the whole body of the human body will drain within ten seconds, and there is no extra time to consider the method at that time.
Chen Xu walked into the tent and glanced at the battle map placed on the folding table, on which the red arrows representing our army were densely packed with red arrows that had covered most of the area of Hanoi. However, there are still many blue logos in the Vietnamese army, and it will take a long time to remove them all.
"The progress of the operation is not bad, and the battle situation in Hanoi should be stable in two hours, and when our army's tank cluster drives over, Hanoi will no longer be able to turn over the wind and waves on the chopping block." Wang Lie rubbed some cooling oil on his temples and said to Chen Xu.
"Did you call me for something?" Chen Xu walked over to help Wang Lie rub his temples and complained, "What about your guards?" If you don't stay on the side and take care of the chief at this important time, where did you go! ”
"I asked him to dictate the order, but our communication equipment is still not fully covered, many units are not equipped with radio stations, and the orders I give still have to rely on the heralds to be in place."
Someone helped him massage his temples, which made Wang Lie feel a lot more comfortable, and he continued: "The gunships in the air are too dangerous, you can't fly anymore." The order that the general gave me at the beginning was to protect your safety, and the second was to seize Hanoi at the lowest cost. Not a request! ”
"What about my gunship, my squad? Now that the war is so tight, we can't let them all stop on the ground and not move! Chen Xu bit his lip, but in the end he didn't do anything to disobey the military order.
"I've asked a captain of the Chinook transport plane to replace you, the piloting skills are much better than yours, he will lead the Steppe Wolves team to continue the battle, you don't have to worry about it." Wang Lie waved his hand, it turned out that he had already arranged everything, and when Chen Xu left his helicopter, someone had already taken his place.
As he spoke, Chen Xu saw his steppe wolf squad take off one by one and return to the battlefield to pack up the Vietnamese army. (To be continued.) )
