"Oops, the Longbow Apache attack helicopters of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division of the US Army have really started to reinforce the 10th Mountain Division." When the U.S. army's left-wing attack helicopter group moved, the Pterodactyl drone cruising over the west bank of the Indas River immediately discovered the movement of the U.S. longbow Apache, which will soon be transmitted to the Atack command.

It's not just Colonel Zhao Zezhong who is a little disappointed, but the other generals and colonels of the Pakistani army command have also changed their faces when they see this change, and now the 1st Independent Armored Brigade, which is at the forefront, does not have an effective air defense force to protect it, once this longbow Apache cluster with super armored attack ability is allowed to join the battle group, the pressure on the 1st Independent Armored Brigade will increase dramatically at once, and if it is not done well, the entire army will be wiped out.

"General, are we going to withdraw the 1st Separate Armored Brigade first?" Seeing that the momentum was something wrong, the chief of staff of the Pakistani army's forward command, Mohammed. Major General Shesharav suggested. As everyone knows, in the face of the most powerful anti-tank force in the US army, the 1st Independent Armored Brigade is not an opponent no matter how powerful it is, and it is basically a passive target.

"It's too late to retreat now," Colonel Zhao Zezhong shook his head and said, now the 1st Independent Armored Brigade has broken through to the west bank of the Indas River for more than 10 kilometers, and if you retreat at full speed, take the N5 highway, that is, you can retreat back to the east bank of the Indas River in 20 minutes. However, from the front of the left flank of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division of the US Army to the position of the 10th Mountain Division is only more than 30 kilometers at most, which is only about ten minutes for the Longbow Apache.

"Where is our 5th Division Air Defense Regiment now?" Colonel Zhao Zezhong then asked, and the combat staff of the Pakistani army on the side quickly inquired about the location of the air defense regiment of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Pakistani army, "Colonel, they are now approaching the vicinity of the Indas River Bridge. ”

The 5th Mechanized Infantry Division is equipped with an air defense regiment, which is composed of a set of Hunter Air Defense Operations and Command System commanding 12 vehicle-mounted portable antiaircraft missiles and a 35-mm antiaircraft artillery battalion.

In the People's Liberation Army, this air defense system is mostly used in the air defense equipment of the B infantry regiment, which consists of a set of 13 warrior off-road vehicles to form an air defense company, but the Pakistani army's purchasing capacity is limited, and only a few elite mechanized infantry divisions are equipped with two Hunter air defense missile companies to form an air defense missile battalion.

"General, I suggest that the 1st Independent Armored Brigade withdraw a certain distance one after another, and at the same time order the anti-aircraft missile battalion of the 5th Division Air Defense Regiment to accelerate forward with the Mechanized Infantry Battalion to join the 1st Independent Armored Brigade, and then the 1st Independent Armored Brigade will feign to continue to retreat, luring the attack of the American Longbow Apache cluster, and let the Hunter Air Defense Missile Battalion give them a heavy blow!" Colonel Zhao Zezhong said,

"Now is the best time for us to annihilate the 10th Mountain Division of the US Army, and if we miss it, it will be difficult for us to find such an opportunity. The Apache longbow on the left flank of the US army came in a hurry, and our air defense regiment had a great chance to surprise them! Even if we can't wipe them all out in one fell swoop, we may annihilate most of them, in which case we can let the Hunter Air Defense Missile Battalion protect the 1st Separate Armored Brigade to continue to attack the 10th Mountain Division of the US Army! ”

The anti-aircraft missile battalion of the air defense regiment of the Pakistani army uses the Warrior off-road vehicle as the power, and the mobility is more powerful than that of the ZTZ-99S tank.

If it is a head-on decisive battle, the vehicle-mounted Flying Ballist-6 equipped with the Shadow Air Defense Missile Battalion of the Pakistani Army basically has no chance of winning against the Longbow Apache Hellfire, because the maximum range of the Flying Ballet-6 is only 5,500 meters, while the maximum range of the Hellfire can reach 8,000 meters, so if the Longbow Apache helicopter opens a distance to attack the Shadow Air Defense Missile Battalion of the Pakistani Army, the Shadow Air Defense Missile Battalion of the Pakistani Army can only be beaten passively.

But now that the battle situation on the front line is so chaotic, Colonel Zhao Zezhong suggested that he would bet that the longbow Apache of the US army would not notice the Hunter anti-aircraft missile battalion of the Pakistani army, and if they wanted to effectively strike at the tanks of the 1st Independent Armored Brigade of the Pakistani army, they would inevitably break through to a distance of more than 3,000 to 4,000 meters to launch an attack.

And above this distance, the Shadow Hunter anti-aircraft missile battalion of the Pakistani army has a great chance.

Lieutenant General Latif's eyes lit up, this is indeed a solution, although there is also a great risk in the middle, but at this stage, Lieutenant General Latif has no better way.

"Command! The anti-aircraft missile battalion of the 5th Air Defense Regiment of the Division immediately accelerated forward, joined up with the 1st Independent Armored Brigade, and accepted the command of the 1st Independent Armored Brigade! Lieutenant General Latif knew that the situation was critical, so he could not hesitate any longer, and after a little consideration, he made up his mind.

As soon as the order was given, the Pakistani Army's Hunter Air Defense Missile Battalion, which was originally following the Infantry Battalion of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Pakistani Army, immediately accelerated its speed, and the Infantry Battalion in front of it also quickly gave way to a lane after receiving the order, and the Warrior off-road vehicle that let the throttle hit the bottom quickly sped up, and the speed of the first Hunter Air Defense Combat Command Vehicle soared to more than 160 km/h after more than ten seconds.

At this moment, more than 20 Longbow Apache attack helicopters of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division of the US Army swooped down on the 1st Independent Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army at full speed, and Lieutenant Colonel Sam, who led the team, knew that the 10th Mountain Division was now in danger, and the attack power of the 1st Independent Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army was far beyond everyone's expectations, and it had destroyed nearly half of the armored force of the 10th Mountain Division.

However, no matter how strong the 1st Independent Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army is, Lieutenant Colonel Sam is not worried about how much threat they have to their Longbow Apache fleet, as long as they rush to the battlefield, the 1st Independent Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army will end here.

No matter how powerful a tank is, it will not be an opponent of a helicopter gunship, this is an insurmountable iron law, not to mention that Lieutenant Colonel Sam is still the most powerful helicopter gunship in the world today, there is no one.

AH-64D Longbow Apache is equipped with an AN/APG-78 Longbow millimeter-wave radar system and data link, which can realize that multiple AH-64Ds can use the radar observation data obtained by one of them to carry out coordinated attacks.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the goal, Lieutenant Colonel Sam's heart became more and more excited, and the tanks of the 1st Independent Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army seemed to soon become a part of the battle feats, and eventually evolved into the golden cross of excellence on his chest, as long as Lieutenant Colonel Sam could lead this helicopter cluster to kill the 1st Independent Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army.

Brigadier General Bullock is far less optimistic than Lieutenant Colonel Sam on the left wing command vehicle of the US army, and the development of the war situation to this extent can be said to have greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and the series of bad consequences caused by an unexpected attack by the Pakistani army on the Avenger anti-aircraft missile battalion of the 10th Mountain Division have caused the US military to suffer the greatest losses since the beginning of the war, and more than 100 M1A2SEP tanks and more than 100 M2 Bradley battlefields have been destroyed, which is also the biggest defeat suffered by the US military in the past 30 years.

After the smooth sailing of the conquest of Peshawar, the US military showed that the situation in Pakistan was extremely bad because of this battle, and the sudden strength of the Pakistani army's elite armored forces made Brigadier General Bullock completely abandon the idea of equating the Pakistani army with the Persian army or the former Iraqi army.

This is an army capable of inflicting heavy damage on the US military, and not only does it have a tenacious spirit and good combat power in the air force, but it also has an elite force in the army that is formidable for the US military.

"Harvey, it looks like our situation is not good," Brigadier General Bullock said to Major General Hawke, the tragic experience of the 10th Mountain Division made Brigadier General Bullock, who was originally full of confidence, lose his self-confidence all of a sudden, "Maybe we should retreat as the command suggested, in the case that the Air Force has not obtained air supremacy, with only our 4th Mechanized Infantry Division and half of the 10th Mountain Division, our chances of taking Islamabad are extremely slim." ”

In addition to the extremely outstanding independent 1st Armored Brigade of the Pakistani army, the huge lethality of the destroyer drone that had just wiped out the 10th Mountain Division's armed helicopter cluster also made Brigadier General Bullock feel uneasy, although he had called the air force for emergency air support, and he also had two complete Avenger anti-aircraft missile battalions in his hands to protect him, but Brigadier General Bullock no longer had such strong confidence in the air defense of the troops.

If its own air force does not arrive before the Pakistani destroyer drone to provide air supremacy, it is not good that the Longbow Apache group that has just been sent to reinforce the 10th Mountain Division will also be wiped out, although the Longbow Apache is the most powerful helicopter gunship in the world today, but it is still vulnerable to supersonic fighters, and the encounter with the helicopter group of the 10th Mountain Division fully illustrates this.

"You are right, Charlie, the combat strength shown by the Pakistani army this time is unexpected, I can't imagine that they can endure it like this, until we approach their capital to send the real elite forces out to fight a decisive battle with us, they are equipped with these PLA weapons are very powerful, it seems that the Chinese have been working hard in recent years, and have indeed developed a lot of surprising new weapons." Major General Hawke also had a solemn face, and his heart was full of resignation, and he was no longer high-spirited when he set off, and he went straight to Huanglong.

However, when Major General Hawke and Brigadier General Bullock jointly requested the front command to retreat back to Peshawar, the commander of the US front, Admiral Joseph, flatly rejected their request, and Admiral Joseph told Major General Hawke that US air support would arrive soon.
