Chapter 329: The Aerial Crane is Coming
When the Chinook transport fleet forced its way into the city, the gunfire in Hanoi suddenly became much more intense, and the sound of gunfire explosions was comparable to that of the Spring Festival, even the sound of helicopter propellers tearing the air could not be concealed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If you look down at the city of Hanoi now, the flames of explosions, burning buildings, billowing smoke, citizens running wildly, a single Vietnamese soldier standing on the roof of an AK47 against the sky, and helicopter gunships running rampant in the air, such a scene cannot be compared to the most money-burning scene of any Hollywood blockbuster.
The city has already reached this point, and Chen Xu actually saw the firefighters driving fire trucks to fight the fire! Set up a ladder and desperately try to save the people in a small burning five-story building.
"Little mirror, blow that fire truck away!" Chen Xu glanced at the fire truck, and decisively gave Peng Jing in front of him an attack order, now there is not much ammunition left in the helicopter, and it is time to replenish the ammunition after hitting this target.
"Isn't it admirable that those firefighters are not soldiers, and that they can still do their duty in this situation? Besides, they're civilians, so there's no need for us to do it! Peng Jing looked at the fire truck and couldn't bear it.
"Boss, we also don't think it's good to do this, people are just fighting fires, let's let them go!" Not only Peng Jing, but also other pilots in the radio channel of the grassland team, who had already seen the fire truck patrolling this airspace.
In this chaotic city, most of the Vietnamese are desperately running for their lives outside the city, and our troops try not to attack the vehicles and crowds on the streets, deliberately letting go of a few ways to drive the residents of the city to flee for their lives. In order to escape for their lives, these panicked citizens could bite any obstacle that stood in their way, and the convoy of the Vietnamese garrison troops who wanted to enter the city to defend the capital was all blocked in the middle of the road, and then all of them became obvious targets for helicopter gunships.
And this fire engine is like the only disciplined unit in the chaotic order, everyone is drunk and I am alone, like a candle in the dark, it is difficult to see it.
Chen Xu admired the conscientiousness of this group of firefighters, and they could save people regardless of the danger in this kind of enemy siege situation, instead of taking their families to escape, they were indeed very heroic! In addition to being moved, Chen Xu decisively ordered them to be blown up.
This is the light and hope in the darkness of the Vietnamese, as the enemy, of course, we must decisively snuff it out, and the Vietnamese monkeys are desperate and hopeless to flee for their lives!
The other pilots of the Steppenwolf Squad may not have thought of this level, but simply felt that what others were doing was quite great and couldn't bear to do it.
"Think about it, if there are more and more heroes of the Vietnamese, then do we still want to take Hanoi! This heroism must be decisively crushed to death at the time of its emergence, and I just want to let these people know that any kind of resistance will be ruthlessly attacked, and the only thing they can do is to pack up and get out of the city! Cruelty to the Vietnamese is kindness to our own people, understand? Chen Xu tirelessly taught his team members on the radio channel, so that everyone could put away that little mercy and use the most brutal killing to crush the confidence of the people of North Vietnam in this country.
When the Vietnamese realize that their government can no longer protect them, they will be completely disintegrated and will have less resistance. This is also the reason why Chen Xu wants to do something to a fire truck from such a trivial matter, the order in the chaos is like an infectious disease, and it will soon infect a large number of people to follow the order, and then resistance will occur, and the casualties of our army will also increase.
Chen Xu's words silenced the members of the steppe wolf team for a moment, and the fire truck driving the ladder rescued a family from the upper floor, and then the fire truck suddenly exploded, and the firefighter who was going down the ladder with the child also disappeared into the flames. The cheering neighbors screamed and fled, and the imminent death finally made them lose the confidence to wait, and they all wanted to escape the dangerous city with their families as quickly as possible.
It turned out to be one of the armed helicopters of the steppe wolf squad, which understood the meaning of Chen Xu's words and decisively took action to solve the fire truck.
"You can see it! Those who watched the excitement all ran away, and I believe that they will soon join the fleeing army, and our task of cleaning up the city is much easier! Chen Xu looked at the burning fire truck coldly, and then continued: "If you see such a scene, everyone knows what to do!" Put away your mercy, this is war!
As he spoke, the Chinook transport plane unit braved the still fierce anti-aircraft fire to forcibly break into the city of Hanoi, put down more than 8,000 commandos one after another, and began to capture strategic points, government offices, television stations, radio stations, and other units in various streets.
After watching the assault force disperse on the ground, the helicopter gunships in the air should be cautious when firing. In the Gulf War that year, the most serious casualties were caused by friendly forces. However, with the entry of the ground troops, those stubborn anti-aircraft fire points in Hanoi were muted one after another, and the garrison combat units in Hanoi did not react in time, and most of them were wiped out on the way into the city, and these anti-aircraft fire points were basically operated by some soldiers without defense, and when the heavily armed assault troops killed them, these people may not even have defensive pistols around them, and all of them were killed on the spot, and the anti-aircraft weapons were also blown up.
Without those tongues of fire reaching into the sky, the range of action of the helicopter gunships has been greatly increased, and the fire support on the opposite side has become more direct and effective. And with the support of air firepower, the progress of the ground assault force is even faster, and Hanoi is being occupied by our army one by one!
The steppe wolf formation carried out an attack for about 20 minutes, and all the ammunition was exhausted, and as the first batch of attack troops to enter Hanoi, every helicopter in the squad achieved great results, and everyone accumulated the merit of killing more than 100 enemy soldiers. It is no wonder that the army gets excited when they hear about the war, and the battlefield is really full of war exploits. Especially in this kind of forward troops, the enemy is rushing to hit your gun, and it is difficult to make meritorious contributions.
It's a pity that although the team's combat exploits are thick, they also lost the Miscellaneous Wolf, and the two pilots sacrificed their lives for the country.
The loss of two team members made Chen Xu's heart ache faintly, Yang Yi, the driver of the Miscellaneous Wolf, and Zhou Yu, the weapon operator, were both young people under the age of twenty-five, and they died on the battlefield in their prime of life. The two team members are very popular in the army, and they were drinking and chatting with everyone a few days ago, Yang Yi is honest, and he takes great care of the recruit soldiers who are younger than himself, and his girlfriend resolutely got a marriage certificate with him before the war, and waited for him to go back to make up the banquet in his hometown.
And Zhou Yu is a cheerful young man, but he will stutter a little when he is nervous, and his comrades-in-arms often joke about him, watching him angry and anxious for fun.
It's just that I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I couldn't even say a word of goodbye, and the two of them were gone.
When passing by the crash site of the Miscellaneous Wolf, Chen Xu's expression was a little gloomy, the helicopter volley explosion was too intense, and the bodies of the two pilots may not be found.
The sacrifice of comrades-in-arms will only allow Chen Xu and others to use more ferocious firepower to deal with the Vietnamese army, and both sides will not die!
The Steppe Wolves team retreated back to the front-line supply base to replenish ammunition and fuel, and immediately a reserve team came over to fill the gap.
At the same time as the steppenwolf squad retreated, 56 modified aerial crane helicopters carrying light tanks arrived belatedly from the north.
Chen Xu counted the number of them in the air and found that none of the 56 planes were missing. It seems that although this road is thrilling, with the speed of the helicopter flying rapidly, the Vietnamese troops in the northern part of Vietnam may not be able to react at all, even if the Vietnamese troops on the front line want to notify the troops in the rear to intercept them, there is no way, because the Vietnamese army's communications have been completely cut off, not only the radio but also the wired telephone can not be reached.
In any case, the arrival of these aerial cranes greatly boosted the confidence of the Airborne Forces, after all, there is nothing more secure for the fighters than tanks.
Chen Xu excitedly watched as an M41 light tank hoisted under the aerial crane and flew over his head with a staggering step, these light tanks are said to be light, but in fact, they are relative to the forty-ton main battle tank, each of these light guys weighs at least seventeen or eighteen tons, and they are still a behemoth. Such a heavy tank is fixed on a rectangular iron plate, and then hung in the air by a dozen steel wires, I am really worried that they will fall down like this and directly smash their own helicopter, which has become a classic case of tanks fighting helicopters.
Chen Xu's eyes were sharp, and he even saw a crew poking their heads out from the turret of the tank, curiously watching the fierce battle below! These guys are also really big-hearted, and they sit directly in the tank and lift them together, and as soon as they land, they can immediately plunge into battle.
Don't underestimate this man-vehicle integrated airdrop! This is one of the most dangerous arms in combat missions, this kind of helicopter lifting is not bad, if it is parachuting, the mortality rate will directly break through the sky, and it is estimated that it is higher than the battle damage.
After arriving in Hanoi, these aerial crane helicopters quickly divided into two groups and went to the area where the two paratrooper brigades were airborne to drop tanks.
These M41 tanks will cooperate with the paratrooper unit to form a sharp knife to break through the Vietnamese defenses and help the paratroopers fight into the city. Although the Vietnamese army's defense is now loose, there are still many Hanoi garrison troops who have arrived at the defensive posts to block our army's entry into the city.
Of course, under the blows of the helicopter gunships, these hastily assembled Vietnamese troops were not only poorly organized but also lacked heavy weapons, and the defense line they organized was as thin as a layer of paper for the paratrooper brigade, which was equipped with the latest individual equipment and had complete air-ground firepower.
Because there are paratroopers following the tanks to fight together, the infantry will be on guard to protect the tanks, and the Vietnamese army's shoulder-fired anti-tank weapons will not threaten the thin-skinned M41 at all, and their efforts to show up and aim will be discovered by the paratroopers and then killed by submachine guns.
The tank, on the other hand, relied on its own heavy artillery to open the way for the paratroopers, and the two cooperated with each other and had a very high combat efficiency. (To be continued.) )
