Chapter 608: The Battle between the North and the South Four

Boom, boom, boom, with a continuous loud bang, the second-generation main battle tank M60A3 in the United States was blown up into waste by anti-tank mines, and how to drive if the chain was broken? The main battle tank has a rough skin and thick meat, but the armored transport vehicle produced by Turkey is miserable, just like a thin-skinned bun, which will be torn apart as soon as it is subjected to external forces, and more than a dozen of them will be blown up in a few minutes, and more than 100 people will die, and the start will be very unsmooth!

"Paralyzed, these Greeks are simply devils, and they actually planted two anti-tank mines in one place, which is too lacking in morality!" A battalion commander of an armored brigade, looking at several of his crippled main battle tanks, couldn't help but curse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You still thank the great Allah, fortunately, this time the country shipped more than 50 tons of M60A3 main battle tanks, if you replace it with more than 30 tons of M48A5 medium tanks, it is estimated that this time the tank can be blown up!"

"No, I'm sorry, hurry up and notify the troops to prepare for air defense operations, and notify the fighters of the air force to come over and protect them quickly, our armored vehicles are all together, and it is easy to be accurately attacked by the opposing helicopter gunships and fighters!" The face of one of the battalion commanders of the mechanized infantry brigade turned white when he said this.

With the whistling sound in the sky, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but look up, only to see a large group of fighters flying overhead, not bothering to deal with the armored forces and mechanized troops below, as if they were in a hurry to find the Turkish Air Force to fight.

Whether it is the A-10's 30mm Gatling seven-barrel cannon, or the Longbow Apache 30mm single-barreled electric chain cannon, the shells can penetrate the hull of the armored transporter, even if it is the sides and turrets of the main battle tank, they can't resist such a blow.

The A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft can carry four Maverick air-to-surface missiles and six MK82 general-purpose bombs, the AH-64 Longbow Apache gunship can carry sixteen Hellfire anti-tank missiles, two squadrons have forty-eight A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft, one armored division with thirty-six AH-64 Longbow Apache gunships, and one air assault division with one hundred and twenty AH-64 Longbow Apache gunships, what kind of lethality is this?

"This is simply purgatory on earth, fortunately it is us who cooperate with the mercenaries, if it were Turkey, this scene would be staged in the Greek army!" Greece's defense minister, chief of general staff, and major generals were immediately stunned when they looked at the images sent back by the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

The main task of the A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft is to strike at armored transport vehicles, and the 30-millimeter Gatling seven-barrel cannon tore apart one by one M113 armored transport vehicles, breaking all the people inside into pieces, and the Maverick air-to-surface missile can destroy an armored transport vehicle with a single shot.

The AH-64 Longbow Apache helicopter gunship, the 30mm cannon constantly spit out tongues of fire, and the Hellfire anti-tank missiles were also frequently issued, blowing up one main battle tank after another into scrap metal, some of them caught fire and smoked, and some of them directly exploded with ammunition, and the scene was simply miserable.

The 12.7 mm machine guns of the main battle tank and the armored transport vehicle are the killers of these two armored units, there is no way at all, and the only hope is anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns, but to this extent, with the attack of armored forces, the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are basically disabled, and portable anti-aircraft missiles do not play a role.

"What's going on, how did our communication with the command be cut off?" The brigade commander of the armored brigade sat in the command vehicle and gritted his teeth. "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the other side must have carried out electronic jamming on us, don't forget that they have Black Hawk electronic warfare helicopters." The staff officer next to him said.

Under the command of AWACS aircraft, one hundred and sixty-eight fighters of the mercenary regiment and one hundred and twenty fighters of the Turkish Air Force had a decisive battle in the air, and the fighters of the mercenary regiment participating in the operation were all equipped with sniper targeting pods and airborne electronic jamming pods, which had an absolute advantage in technology, and forty-eight were F-15 Eagle fighters, all of which used AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles with a range of 75 kilometers.

"What do you say? It's only been six or seven minutes, and half of our plane has already been lost, and we didn't see the shadow of the other party? So what are you waiting for, hurry up and withdraw all of them to the mainland, these are all F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters! The commander of the Turkish Air Force stomped his feet in distress.

The same are all American-made fighters, but the users are different, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft is not the same, the mercenary corps of fighters has just been transferred from active service by the US Air Force, maintenance is naturally no problem, the onboard electronic equipment all belong to the latest model, and it is the kind of upgraded version, the US Air Force has always spent a lot of money.

The E-3 AWACS aircraft has a detection range of 320 kilometers, is equipped with a friend or foe identification system, and tracks more than 200 targets at the same time, making it the most advanced AWACS aircraft in the world.

In addition, the fighter pilots of the mercenary regiment are all retired American pilots who have gone through many wars, and they are very experienced, and even if the Turkish Air Force is well trained, it is not as important as actual combat, and it is unreasonable not to suffer losses.

While they were escaping, the second wave of fighters intercepted, which was the F-18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft that took off from the conventionally powered aircraft carrier Constellation, each carrying eight AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles, and formed a semicircular encirclement commanded by the AWACS aircraft, and four EA-6B electronic jammers assisted, which was also overwhelming.

Cyprus is too small, it is only forty kilometers from Turkey, and fighter jets can fly to it in the blink of an eye, but unfortunately, this time they encountered mercenaries, and AWACS aircraft can completely cover the battlefield seamlessly, so Turkish fighters are sad.

"Your Excellency, the Mercenary Navy has dispatched three aircraft carrier battle groups, not only blocking the eastern and western entrances to the Turkish Strait, but also blocking the waters around Cyprus, demanding that we immediately release the seized ships, compensate for huge losses, and publicly apologize to the mercenaries." The Minister of Defense almost went mad.

"Does our naval fleet have the strength to break the blockade of the aircraft carrier battle group?" The Turkish Prime Minister said with suppressed anger. It is simply a shame that the world's military power, the second largest armed force in NATO, is blocked at the doorstep by mercenaries, and the shame of Turkey is also a shame for him, the prime minister.

"The largest warship in the navy is only more than 3,000 tons, and the smallest Perry-class frigate on the other side is of the same level, and the carrier battle group of the mercenary regiment is there, but there is a Kirov-class nuclear-powered missile cruiser, three Burke-class missile destroyers, two Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, four Spruance-class missile destroyers and four Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, all of our ships combined, and they can't withstand the attack of the other side." The Minister of Defense said helplessly.
