This time, we can say that we are out of the nest......

The combat unit consisted of four groups, that is, twelve sorties...... Two helicopters were also arranged to serve as command aircraft...... You must know that this time the operation was carried out in two directions at the same time, and it was obviously not enough to have only one command unit, so I went into battle myself......

Not to mention, the commander plus three correspondents...... The three correspondents were responsible for contacting their own troops, friendly forces, and battalion headquarters, respectively. So...... At this time, our army's communications equipment was relatively backward, which directly led to our difficulties in command and the bloated command structure.

Then add the guards, the hygienists and the necessary several staff officers...... So a helicopter with a command structure is almost the same!

The two command planes were in charge of me and Scar, respectively.

As for the remaining six helicopters...... The two were used as escorts for the command aircraft...... This is necessary, knowing that on the battlefield, the command aircraft must follow the combat unit at a low altitude to launch an attack on the target...... In this way, there is a high probability of being attacked by the enemy's air defense, and in the event of the destruction of the command aircraft, the blow to the mission will be devastating...... This means that the troops will lose contact with friendly forces and headquarters or be left uncommanded, and it will also be a big blow to the morale of the troops!

Therefore, it is very necessary to equip each of the two command planes with a helicopter full of ammunition as an escort, and its task is to find an enemy who may pose a threat to the command structure, and then take the first step to deal with it. Meantime...... Because the helicopter does not carry people and only ammunition, it has plenty of ammunition...... If necessary, it can also be used as fire support for combat troops!

The remaining four helicopters...... Needless to say, it is divided into two groups as reconnaissance units of combat units...... Their mission is the same as that of a scout on land. Most of the time it's a test of the waters...... That is, fly ahead to see if the route you pass is safe. There is no enemy fire ambush and so on.

Of course. This kind of reconnaissance is sometimes inaccurate, just as on land we often let the spearheads in front of us go and leave them unfought...... This requires it to intercept the scouts to carry out the absolutes on the necessary sections for ground reconnaissance! So in terms of the nature of the task...... The danger of the role of Scout is quite high, so the troops that make up them are naturally the best of the best...... We've even trained some snipers who can snipe from helicopters......

Sniping from a helicopter is not an easy task...... Needless to say, one is that the helicopter itself is in motion, and the flight speed and direction of flight are not something that a sniper can grasp, and a sniper must judge these by feeling. Helicopters, on the other hand, are powered by propellers and will have a lot of turbulence around them...... Snipers must be familiar with these turbulent patterns......

And only after mastering these. Only a sniper is likely to shoot an accurate shot...... So don't think about it, these snipers are all snipers from the sniper company, and they are the best snipers. It took a lot of effort to train these snipers, because it not only requires a lot of fluid knowledge, but also requires long-term cooperation between the helicopter pilot and the sniper, so as to maintain a smooth flight and orientation at critical times, so that the sniper can play better.

On the other hand...... The reason why I would choose to have snipers join reconnaissance units or even combat units...... It's because snipers have a very keen sense of observation and a sixth sense, which can often play an unexpected role on the battlefield!

After these arrangements have been made...... We went on the operation the next night as planned......

The helicopters of the two formations first gathered together and flew in the direction of the engineer battalion...... Twenty helicopters, the noise was enough to alarm any Red Army soldier on the ground who was on the duty of "anti-aircraft guns".

Not to mention...... Although the performance of this helicopter is not very good, it can even be said to be quite backward. But we flew out of the twenty planes...... It's really a bit like the special forces attack in the American blockbuster. In particular, these helicopters are equipped with machine guns and rocket nests, and the cabins are loaded with armed fighters...... has a momentum that is not angry and self-imposing!

As I sat inside, I couldn't help but sigh at this...... Not long since. I thought my life was just like that...... But then again, I now seem to be a life of inactivity, which was a pleasure in the eyes of me before.

But now...... I still can't imagine that in just two years, my life has changed dramatically, from a gentleman who only knows how to spend all his time drinking and drinking around himself...... Became a person I didn't even know myself.

It's not ...... I never imagined that one day I would have such a unit in my hands, an elite unit with an army and an air force, and even a force that can influence the whole army and shoulder a special mission!

"Battalion commander!" Just when I was thinking nonsense, Zhao Jingping reminded me next to me: "I have arrived at the designated location!" ”

"Hmm!" I looked at my watch, and it was almost time.

So he immediately ordered into the walkie-talkie: "All of them have ...... Implement the second step plan! Repeat, implement the second step plan! ”

"Yes!" The pilots answered, and the helicopter soon made a big turn.

If the Red Army had radar at this time...... You can clearly see on the radar that the helicopter group has split into two and is flying in two opposite directions...... However, it seems that the Red Army does not have radar to know that we have turned, and this is, of course, because of the "anti-aircraft guns...... It's just that this method is a little slower, and the two ammunition depots we've selected aren't far from us......

In fact, the two ammunition depots are quite far apart, but the maximum speed of this straight five changes can reach 210 kilometers per hour, that is, ...... You can fly more than 30 kilometers in ten minutes, and it's a straight-line distance on the map. Like this one...... The straight-line distance between the two ammunition depots is more than a dozen kilometers...... We inserted from the middle line, so the actual range was only half...... That's about eight kilometers, which is only two or three minutes for us...... And in the two or three minutes, I am afraid that the Red Army soldiers in charge of the "anti-aircraft guns" have not yet reacted!

So our helicopter formation, so to speak, flew over the two arsenals of the Red Army without any hindrance...... A few spotlights shine in the direction of the target...... This spotlight is another tactic of our helicopter column......

Our helicopters often have to fight at night...... You must know that the weapons and equipment of the five changes are not very accurate, there is no advanced aiming system, the anti-aircraft machine gun aiming system is to install a camera at the back, and the rocket nest fires rockets almost by feeling...... In such a situation, if you can't see where the target is, it can basically be said to be a blind fight!

So we came up with a solution...... Let the helicopter in charge of reconnaissance turn on the spotlight......

Benefits of Turning on the Spotlight...... One is to indicate targets for combat troops, and the other is to be able to do what the enemy can't find more targets...... Attention will be involuntarily attracted by those spotlights, and under the bright light of the spotlights...... Other helicopters that don't have lights on are basically hidden in the dark, so they have a good "stealth" effect!

Of course, a helicopter with a spotlight on can become very dangerous...... They would be ideal targets for enemy anti-aircraft fire. That's why we decided that these helicopters would do nothing but shine the spotlight...... It's just a kind of energy to do all kinds of irregular evasion actions at the fastest speed!

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to actually do it...... The reason is that the fighter who plays the spotlight also has to constantly change the angle of the spotlight according to the helicopter's movements, so that it can shine on the enemy and provide targets for friendly forces!

That's what we're doing now...... So I could almost see the stunned eyes of the Red Army soldiers below and all kinds of panicked preparations......

It's obvious...... Although the 391st Regiment is a heroic regiment, it is also a heroic regiment with excellent examples in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam...... But they don't have much in terms of air defense......

It's not ...... When they saw our helicopter appear overhead, their first reaction was not to evacuate or hide, but to enter the position in groups and set up all kinds of weapons!

If this were to be done for other troops, it would be true...... But we are airplanes, helicopters flying at high speed in the dark...... Let's not talk about whether the 56 and a half and 56 punches in their hands can hit the altitude of our flight, even if they can hit ...... I'm afraid that I can't penetrate the bottom armor of the helicopter...... In other words, they are not at all a threat to us, but will give us a good opportunity...... An opportunity to kill and injure the living forces of the Red Army!

This was a bit of a surprise to me...... The reason is that I always thought that the 391 regiment had a lot of experience in air defense...... This can be seen in their fortifications, as well as in the arrangement of "anti-aircraft guns"!

But now...... What the soldiers of the 391st Regiment said was another matter......

After thinking about it, I quickly understood, should I say...... The air defense experience I knew before was actually not that of the 391st Regiment, but that it was Liu Guoyan's, and it could even be said that it was not Liu Guoyan's, but that Liu Guoyan learned it from his father......

Learned ...... It's completely different from what you have learned from your own experience on the battlefield!

Summed up by your own experience...... That's knowing the roots, and in any situation, you will remember the bloody lessons of yourself or your comrades-in-arms, and you know what method you should use to deal with it!

And what I learned...... It's okay at the strategic level, but it lacks that kind of improvisation in terms of tactics, like the current Red Army...... It's in the face of our sneak attack in the wrong way! (To be continued......)
