Chapter 735: A Killing Array Against the U.S. Army
Baniyas is a Syrian city located on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea and is an important port city in Syria.
Bashar came to the city, hidden in the underground headquarters, also because of the city's coastal convenience.
And this city is also the city that the opposition forces are striving to fight.
With this city, the opposition forces will be able to more easily receive all kinds of weapons and equipment from Europe.
The place where the ghost bomber crashed, on the edge of the Mediterranean, is a huge palm grove on the coast.
The first rescue force was ambushed by Syrian government forces and was almost completely wiped out, with only a dozen US special forces and two pilots surviving. The wreckage of the helicopter that fell into battle with the Syrian government forces.
It also instantly became the focus of the United States and Syria, and at the same time, the rebels of Baniyas also rushed over.
At this moment, on the US command ship in the Mediterranean, the commander of the US Sixth Fleet ordered angrily: "Immediately dispatch carrier-based aircraft to combat the operation of Syria that is collecting the wreckage of ghost bombers." ”
On the command ship, there is a picture transmitted back by the Global Hawk drone, and it can be seen that on the wreckage of the ghost bomber, a large number of Syrian government soldiers are extinguishing the flames and collecting fragments of the wreckage of the aircraft.
On the other side, the remaining dozen or so U.S. soldiers are relying on the wreckage of the helicopter to resist the approach of the Syrian government forces, but I am afraid they will not last long.
"Inform the Air Force and let them send Raptor fighters into the battlefield, we need absolute air supremacy."
"Order the Marines to move right away, I'm going to get the troops to land right away, rescue our soldiers, send tanks to the battlefield as well, I'm going to show the damned Syrians the power of our tanks."
After several orders in a row, the powerful combat strength of the US Navy's Sixth Fleet was completely revived.
In an amphibious strike group of the US military close to Syria, air-cushion landing craft quickly came out of the dock, carrying tanks and infantry, and galloped towards the Syrian coastline.
On the aircraft carriers of the Sixth Fleet, carrier-based planes loaded with ammunition took off and flew directly into Syrian airspace.
This war suddenly took a shocking turn, and the Americans were completely enraged.
Whatever the consequences of this operation, at least the United States cannot stop now.
"Tom...... Tong...... Tom"
Hundreds of Hellfire rockets rained down on the heads of the Syrian government troops, and the Syrian government forces, who were surrounding the US special forces and pilots, were turned on their backs for a while, and the continuous explosions blew up five or six commanding heights controlled by the Syrian government forces.
Flying shrapnel and shattered stones flew indiscriminately, and in an instant, the five or six machine gun positions of the Syrian government army were muted, and before the heavy smoke of gunpowder cleared, a large number of 20-millimeter machine gun bullets were overwhelmingly smashed, and six Apache helicopter gunships violently poured powerful fire on the ground.
This is the second batch of rescue units of the US military, but due to the encirclement of Syrian government forces, the original rescue force has become a fire support unit.
The action plan has also been readjusted, and the current air force is mainly to ensure the safety of the special forces and the two pilots, wait for the arrival of the ground rescue force, and then withdraw from Syria together.
The United States is not prepared to intervene in the Syrian war at all, and the biggest limit is to send air force fighter jets to strike or drop a few missiles, and it has not thought of sending ground troops into Syria.
This time it was really disrupted, and the Marines had to be sent into the rescue operation in Syria, for which four Abrams main battle tanks were dispatched.
In the eyes of the Americans, it was just a small battle on the beach, and the rescued personnel could be evacuated as soon as possible.
However, this war was unexpected by the Americans from the very beginning.
If the first rescue was a failure, if it was a conspiracy of the Syrian government army and a classic use of the tactics of encirclement and reinforcement, then the power of the second operation is enough to explain a lot of problems.
The arrival of the second batch of six Apache helicopter gunships on the battlefield has indeed brought a ray of hope to the US special forces and pilots who are struggling to hold on on to the ground.
It also caused heavy losses to the Syrian government army, but the situation on the battlefield did not change because of this.
Under the deliberate creation of Future Technology Group, Syria can be said to be one of the countries with the most complete air defense weapons in the entire Middle East.
Whether it is a large regional anti-aircraft missile or individual anti-aircraft firepower, the number is very huge, and even several of the platoon-level Syrian government forces are equipped with individual anti-aircraft missiles.
The six Apache helicopter gunships, although very powerful, have limited airspace to support ground operations.
One of the colonels of the Syrian government forces on the ground, looking at the US helicopter in the sky in the distance, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Anti-aircraft missiles, launch." ”
In the palm groves, the calm Syrian government air defense forces steadily aimed at the US military helicopter gunships in the air.
Immediately, one after another, anti-aircraft missiles flew out from all sides and flew towards Apache.
Dozens of anti-aircraft missiles were a spectacular spectacle, and each missile danced flexibly in the sky like a dexterous ballerina.
Although the US military helicopter pilots were already mentally prepared this time, they still did not expect to face so many anti-aircraft missiles.
Although a large number of decoy bombs were thrown into the air in an attempt to lure the anti-aircraft missiles, the narrow maneuvering range and nearly saturated anti-aircraft missiles still caused heavy losses to the six helicopter gunships.
With several deafening explosions, piles and piles of burning wreckage appeared on the ground.
Four were shot down on the spot, and two were emitting black smoke in an attempt to quickly evacuate the battlefield.
But the ground had already laid a net, and when the two rickety Apache hurriedly left, from the woods, a dense array of anti-aircraft machine guns also opened fire at the same time, all of them 20 mm machine guns, and the dense fire made the two Apache who had been injured suddenly worse.
The intercepted anti-aircraft fire became more and more dense, and it was more accurately locked, and in the process of dodging, finally an Apache was directly hit by the dense anti-aircraft fire, and the terrible 20mm cannon bullet instantly disintegrated the Apache body.
The other Apache did not escape the fate of being shot down, this is a killing position, although the Syrian government forces have also paid a lot of casualties, but so far, they have shot down ten US helicopters, of which eight are Apache helicopter gunships.
