Chapter 453: The General Attack is Coming
Helicopter air battles in the air also became intense. Of the nine helicopters, only one was able to free up to help the ground troops, and the rest were all pinned down by enemy helicopters.
Pieces of machine gun bullets and missiles flew out of the helicopter's hanging bomb nest, a large number of jamming bombs were sprinkled from the helicopter's body, even this could not stop the casualties, the helicopters on both sides, every few minutes one will be hit head-on, lucky, with black smoke on the body to exit the battlefield, the unlucky ones were directly blown up by volleys, but more were shot down, and a few people survived.
It was this empty helicopter that became a disaster for the enemy.
For the ground forces, helicopters are like natural enemies. Coupled with the charge and cover of the ground troops, the missile troops did not have much opportunity to attack the helicopters in the sky, and the pilots of the helicopters were only afraid of the heavy firepower of these people, so the distance was slightly farther away, and they only used machine guns to strafe, and the other side could not do anything about themselves.
At this time, the helicopter was parked in mid-air, and the cannon had locked onto the opponent's defensive line.
At this time, the rout of the third line of defense has not been able to run back into the fourth line of defense, and his own men are also behind, so among the targets of the helicopter, only the presence of the enemy can also open fire unscrupulously.
The underhanging cannon began to roar, and the cannon bullets formed a long strip of fire in the night sky, rushing straight towards the opponent's defense line. The caliber of the cannon is 23 millimeters, and the ammunition power of this caliber is not comparable to that of any firearm. Artillery ammunition hit the fortifications of the defensive line, dirt. Plants and so on, without exception, were all violently dismantled, even people, as long as they were hit, the lethality rate exceeded 95 percent, as if they had been blown up by small bombs at close range.
Under such firepower, no one dared to show their heads and fight back, and occasionally a few soldiers with individual missiles on their shoulders showed their heads and prepared to counterattack, and helicopters also spotted them early. Leave early. Or shoot jamming bombs to evade.
With the suppression of helicopters, the fourth line of defense had already been considerably weakened before the night attack troops rushed in.
Commanders on both sides saw it.
In this way, this is the fourth line of defense. Sooner or later, it will be breached.
The enemy's ground forces were completely suppressed by their main forces on the frontal battlefield. Although evenly matched. Neither can completely kill the other. But the enemy wanted to break through, to attack the peaks, and it was impossible then. If you have a lot of power in the air. The helicopters of both sides were already tangled in each other, and they couldn't get out to help. The most important thing is that the number of helicopters on the defender's side is not much, and if you shoot down one, you will have one less, and if you want to replenish it, it will take at least several days, but the Chinese troops are different, their supply site is not far from here at all, and if you want to replenish helicopters, artillery and other things, you can reach it in a day at most, so the enemy does not dare to consume it like this.
It is too late to support now, and the ground force defense line has been torn apart, and if it continues to defend, it can only be completely annihilated.
The enemy compromised.
Two transport helicopters rose from the base and flew from the direction of the cliff to the top of the mountain. The remaining defenders abandoned this line of defense and fled as fast as they could to the top of the hill, into the helicopter and fleeing the place.
The fourth line of defense, which was self-defeating, was soon completely taken by the night attack troops.
So far, this night raid has been planned and achieved a complete victory.
The defense line of the two peaks has completely fallen into his own hands, and then, as long as the fortifications here are done well, relying on the commanding heights, whether it is attacking or defending, it will be much simpler.
Because of the capture of these two places, the entire headquarters and military camp advanced several hundred meters, forming a triangle with the peaks on both sides, framing the enemy base inside. The three positions also form a good defensive formation, no matter which side fights, the other two sides can quickly support it.
With such natural fortifications, it cannot be said that it is invincible, at least, the other side does not dare to attack easily.
By the time all this was done, the sky was already bright, and the battlefield was almost cleared. However, compared with yesterday, the current form has become much clearer.
Now that neither side can beat anyone, the situation seems to have returned to the way it was when Yang Hao came. However, they knew that their reinforcements were on their way. In this batch of reinforcements, there are a large number of artillery units, and there are several flying squadrons on standby. With the participation of these troops, the next exchange of fire will be more intense than the previous airfield.
The commander had already received the news that the fastest third theater of operations had advanced twenty kilometers more than himself, and they were the one that made the best progress. The commander who heard the news looked at the enemy base in front of him, and his heart was even more urgent to break through this position.
As long as this base can be breached, the road behind the advance is a flat river, and there is no good ambush and defense site in the mountains, once the mountains are broken, there is a plain behind, and the opponent's army is even more unable to stop their own advance.
Yang Hao and the Night Meteor also came down from the sniper position. This position is now out of range of the battlefield, and you can move some distance forward to close the range of your shots.
When they came to the barracks, the two of them replenished their supplies and rested for a few hours.
Staying in one place for a long time, not to mention boring, the body and energy can't stand it. Everyone needs to rest, and now that both sides have just fought a big game, it's a good time to rest.
The two rested for only three hours. At nearly twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the two left the barracks again and headed for the battlefield.
Their mission has always been remembered.
This time, the distance between the two was shortened, and they were only about 700 meters away from the base. In this position, not only the accuracy of observation has been improved, but the accuracy of shooting has also been greatly improved, and this position is hidden, and it is relatively difficult to be discovered, and it is this position, which is in the middle of the mountain peak and the barracks on the left, it is a relatively safe position, except for the opponent's artillery and snipers who have the ability to hit here, other people do not pose any threat to them.
As usual, the two of them made all the preparations, reconnoitred the terrain, decided on the sniper position, and hid here.
In the ensuing battle, the troops no longer need the firepower of the two, allowing the two to focus all their energy on their mission.
Yang Hao couldn't find the sniper last night, which made Yang Hao feel a little regretful.
But that's to be expected. This sniper is the only one of the six targets who doesn't know his appearance, and it is very difficult to find him when there is no war. So if you want to lock him, it is only possible when you start fighting, because at that time, the other party may appear on the battlefield and shoot, this is Yang Hao's chance to deal with him.
But now, it was a little more difficult to find him than last night, and Yang Hao could only focus his energy on the other five people.
The day passed.
For 24 hours, neither side dared to act rashly, especially the troops in the Chinese region, who did not want to go to war now. Finally, a day later, the commander received news of the arrival of reinforcements.
Three full battalions, a logistics battalion, an artillery unit with a battalion formation and a helicopter squadron are all the establishments of this batch of reinforcements.
There are about 1,000 people, which doesn't seem like much, but it's just that there are 1,000 more people, and as the attacker, he has already stabilized the opponent in terms of strength.
In order not to let the other side notice the arrival of his reinforcements, the commander deliberately scattered the troops and entered his own barracks little by little, and the helicopter squadron and artillery unit were placed on the outside of the battlefield, not even giving the other side a chance to see it.
Everything is ready, the general attack is also close at hand.
It's a given. Reinforcements have arrived, and the favorable terrain is also in their hands, so what reason do they have to wait?
Probably this atmosphere was also felt by the enemy, and the scouts from all walks of life found that the troop movements in the enemy base began to become more frequent, and all units also made a posture of shrinking their clothes and defending.
All of this is also in the eyes of Yang Hao and the night meteor. But at this time, they are not concerned about this, but about their own tasks.
own mission objectives. To put it bluntly, it is actually to provide the troops with a good opportunity to attack, so that the success rate of breaking through the base is greater. If you drag on like this, you will be useless, and your task will be judged as a failure.
Because the troops broke through this place, they completely relied on their own ability, and it had nothing to do with the actions of Yang Hao and the others. Seeing that the general offensive was coming, the two who still had no achievements began to be a little impatient.
But the more this time, the more you need to be calm. The impatient mood did not make the two of them show anxious emotions, and they were still quietly waiting for the opportunity.
If the opportunity does not appear in front of your eyes, then it is providence, and there is no way to do it.
It is now 9:30 p.m., and the time for the general attack has been set, which is tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock.
Yang Hao and the Night Meteor have been in ambush here for three days and three nights, and they still haven't found any chance. Both sighed.
This mission, it seems, was a failure. However, they still decided to hold on to the last moment, maybe they will have some effect?
It was at this time that the night meteor's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly his eyes released a fine light.
"Target found!" (To be continued......)
