Chen Xu finally turned on the confidential communication system and made communication contact with the rest of the armed helicopters in the formation!

"This is the wolf! The wolf cubs began to count......" Chen Xu shouted in the microphone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Bald-tailed wolf reports, everything is fine!"

"Lame wolf report!"

"Cyclops starts up normal!"

……

The twelve planes reported to Chen Xu's long plane one by one in order, indicating that everything was normal and that the formation could take off at any time.

Chen Xu's twelve Cobra helicopter formation is called the Steppe Wolf Formation, Chen Xu is the long plane, that is, the head wolf, responsible for leading the wolf pack, cruising on the left side of the Chinook transport helicopter.

The transport helicopter formation has its own helicopter gunship escort, while Chen Xu's wolf pack is a free formation. The main duty is to clear those unplanned Vietnamese military targets, and secondly, once there is a gap in the escort of the transport helicopter formation, the free formation must immediately send forces to fill it.

The name of the wolf pack is not Chen Xu, the names of the eight hundred helicopters in the helicopter formation are all given by General Wang Lie one by one, the reason why all of them are disabled wolves, the general thinks that if Dacheng is lacking, the more cheap things on the battlefield will live longer, a bit like the adults in the countryside in the past to give children a donkey egg, dog leftovers and other cheap names, so that it is easy to feed.

In order to keep the communication network clean, only captain-level helicopters can talk on all channels, and individual helicopters can only talk in the squad's channels.

The assault troops on the ground have special radio communicators, who know by heart the contact channel represented by each helicopter, and there is a number on the belly of the helicopter, and the correspondent can immediately adjust the channel and get a one-line contact with the plane as long as he looks up at the number, and then ask for assistance.

If the radio liaison of the assault team is killed, the rest of the team members will use a code message to tell the transport helicopter in the sky that they have lost their liaison and need to add one immediately.

Of course, the front command divided Hanoi into more than a dozen zones, and each helicopter formation had its own area of responsibility, and the commandos in this area could summon helicopter gunships above through the public channel.

In fact, the pilot of the gunship will keep an eye on the progress on the ground, and will automatically help the attacking forces below clear obstacles in their path.

As the 24 state-of-the-art Apache helicopter gunships as the vanguard took off first, the entire Kunming airport was like a carpet that had been lifted, and the helicopters took off one after another, because there were too many of them, and a black slope was formed in the air.

Under the guidance of the helicopter, Chen Xu's steppe wolf formation finally got permission to take off, Chen Xu stretched out a thumbs up, told the friends on the left and right that he was going to take a step first, and then pulled up the control stick.

The Cobra gunship was laden with ammunition, and the propellers violently churned the air, making a loud roar into the sky.

A fleet of 800 helicopters flew through the sky, what a spectacle!

The sky of Kuncheng was shrouded in the roar of a storm, the doors and windows of the whole city were shaking violently, the people were hurriedly getting up, and some young people even ran out of the house barefoot. When they saw that in the cloudless night light, helicopters were like black night owls gliding overhead, the flash-screen bumper at the bottom of the helicopter was constantly flashing, and the weapon pylons on both sides of the gunship were full of missiles.

The people of Kuncheng have long been accustomed to the take-off and landing of helicopters at the airport, and they can even tell what helicopter is flying by just by sound. When everyone saw so many planes taking off at the same time, they probably realized that the war had really started, and these helicopter gunships were heading to the battlefield.

The young people were enthusiastic and wanted to be a member of the helicopter, and the grandparents hurriedly lit a handful of incense to the Guanyin Temple in the city, put their hands together and asked the Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless the soldiers to return safely, and the old people were using their own methods to pray for the front-line soldiers.

Under the guidance of navigation, the huge helicopter swarm flew towards Qiong Island like locusts!

The voyage to Qiong Island is very simple, just fly over it in a straight line, and there is no skill to tell.

At half past four in the morning, the 24 Apache helicopter gunships arrived on time at the sugar cane farm on the outskirts of Zhanzhou, Qiongdao, where they took their last rest and refueling.

The original sugarcane fields of the sugarcane farm were all paved with cement, and a huge cement flat was built for the helicopters to take a short break. This concrete field can only be used this once, and soon it will be knocked out and restored to a sugar cane field.

Chen Xu turned off the engine of the helicopter, lay down the ladder that the ground staff had moved, and ran with Peng Jing to go to the toilet in the lounge next to him, drink some water, or lie down a little.

The helicopter engine has been running for a long time, exuding a scorching heat, and the humidity of the sea air near Zhanzhou has evaporated all the water vapor around the engine. Illuminated by the bright hernia headlights around it, a layer of fog can be clearly seen on top of the helicopter.

In the imperial capital comprehensive command center, a few hours ago, the bigwigs saw the helicopters at Kuncheng Airport taking off one after another through the video, not to mention how excited they were. Two hours later, the officers and men of the two airborne brigades also boarded the transport planes one after another.

Two airborne brigades, a total of eight combat mechanized combat battalions, plus various logistics materials and support equipment, as well as parachute vehicles, 80 C5 Galaxy transport aircraft, 60 C130 Hercules, 50 C141 transport satellites, a total of 190 transport aircraft will participate in the airborne operation.

In order to organize this airborne landing, the General Command of the Front Lines threw all the large transport planes from all over the country into this operation, and because the number was insufficient, the US imperialists urgently drew 40 transport planes from Guam as a supplement.

With 190 transport planes forming such a large airborne corps, 14,000 soldiers and a large amount of equipment will be transported to Hanoi at one time. This will be the largest airborne operation since World War II.

In fact, there is no need to engage in such a big battle against a small country like Vietnam, but the Military Commission takes into account that in the South Asian War, our army will face the Red Empire, the world's largest armed force, and the airborne troops may become a surprise force and play an unexpected role.

Not to mention that the favorite of the flower growers is to intersperse, divide and encircle, encircle and send reinforcements, this kind of sports warfare, there was no condition before, so you can only run desperately on two legs, in order to reduce the weight, the weapons and ammunition on each soldier are limited.

Now you can directly use transport planes to parachute directly into the target area with troops, and you can also transport all the heavy equipment with you, which is much better than the previous conditions.

However, our army has never conducted such a large-scale airborne operation, so the significance of this airborne Hanoi experiment is greater than the operation.

When the heads of state of Britain and France learned that the flower planters had actually used 190 transport planes in an airborne landing this time, they were shocked and smacked their tongues, and I am afraid that only the United States and the Soviet Union could afford to play a tactical action of this magnitude. In order to win the war in South Asia, the United States sent almost all the usable equipment of the US military to Asia, except that it did not directly send troops.

What kind of force the world's strongest army and the world's most advanced equipment will merge into when combined, no one can predict the answer.

The British and French heads of state began to make their own small calculations, and decided that after the end of the Sino-Vietnamese War, they would increase investment support for flower growers! After all, the heavier the stakes, the greater the benefits by the time the war is won.

The heads of state of Britain and France do not know how to fight, but they understand that a capital country like the US imperialism that eats people and does not spit out bones will definitely not do loss-making business. If they are willing to throw so many resources at China, they will definitely gain dozens of times the benefits after the South Asian war.

Since China and the United States are willing to make heavy bets on starting a war in South Asia, they are sure to reap huge profits, and if Britain and France do not increase their investment, they may end up drinking some soup and not even eating shredded meat.

At the front headquarters of the Eastern Front, Chen Zhuo was sitting in the command headquarters in military uniform, and he kept raising his wrist to look at his watch, and the pointer on it was telling him that it was less than half an hour before the general attack.

The staff officers were busy working, and the sand table in the center of the tent showed that all the combat units of the 69th Army had entered the attack position.

The tanks of the group army have all been activated and entered the road, the artillery has been loaded and adjusted to the angle, just waiting for the general command to give the order to attack the general army, the shells will be fired at the Vietnamese positions on the opposite side, and the tanks will spit smoke and advance, forming a pair of pincers with the tank troops of the Long Live Army on the Western Front to clamp Hanoi!

Chen Xu rested in the sugarcane farm for twenty minutes and then returned to the helicopter, and just after completing the start procedure, a sharp bell rang in his ears, and it was time to take off again.

The helicopter formation roared into the air, and after flying for a while, the land below disappeared into the vast sea, and everyone had entered the Gulf of Tonkin Gulf!

"Look to the left, everybody!" At this moment, Chen Xu heard the surprised voice of his teammates in the headset, subconsciously turned his head, and saw a scene that he would never forget.

The Tomahawk missile position set up on Qiong Island began to launch missiles, and more than 50 missiles rose into the air, forming a column of smoke that soared into the sky. The white body of the Tomahawk missile flew high in the air from the left side of the helicopter formation and flew towards the territory of Vietnam.

It was really the first time Chen Xu saw the missile flying, and he saw it on a helicopter, and this scene cannot be described in words.

Not only Qiong Island, but there will be more Tomahawk missiles attacking military targets in Vietnam on the land border between China and Vietnam, and with the launch of these missiles, the time for the whole army to attack will only be ten minutes! (To be continued.) )
