Chapter 548: Air-Ground Coordinated Attack

Caught in an explosion and flames, outside the city, rumbling ground troops also arrived in the city illuminated by the firelight.

In the sky, a large number of Hind attack helicopters, instead of fighter air raids, flew over the city, with the help of the cover of buildings, to run cover for the transport helicopters that followed behind.

The two-winged Nighthawk transport helicopter is all large, and on both sides of the fuselage, there are two small propellers to increase the speed of the helicopter during level flight.

On the ground, the Islamic State forces, which have not yet had time to react, will also find it difficult to organize an effective attack under the attack of helicopters.

The speed of the helicopter shuttling between the city and the building is very fast, and in such an environment, the anti-aircraft missile on the ground is almost impossible to aim at the helicopter that passes through quickly and has the cover of the building.

However, there are still a lot of portable anti-aircraft missiles on the ground, which counterattack the helicopter units that are assaulting from the air.

However, under the suppression of strong electromagnetic power and the attraction of various decoy bombs, these simple air defense weapons cannot bring a decent threat to helicopters in the air.

The Nighthawk transport helicopters that followed up all landed a large number of special forces in every important area of the city at a rapid pace.

The battle began, and a Nighthawk transport helicopter could quickly parachute a platoon of combat troops onto the battlefield, and a large number of buildings and the commanding heights of the buildings were all occupied by a large number of SEAL and sniper soldiers.

Gunfire began to ring out in large numbers throughout the city, and the rhythm of the three-dimensional attack was three-dimensional. It disrupted the coordination and coordination between the ISIS forces.

The army of the Islamic State has never really faced a formidable adversary. It is still stuck in the tactical tactics of dealing with Iraqi government forces and Kurdish forces.

Thousands of elite-level special forces. Almost a thousand warriors landed in every corner of the city, and there was a dense burst of gunfire everywhere, and everyone who appeared on the streets with weapons in hand found accurate kills.

The armed picks on the streets and the Islamic State militants with bazookas on their shoulders were also the fastest dead.

At the same time, a tank brigade of more than 160 main battle tanks as the vanguard also entered the city from all the main streets in the eastern part of Tikrit. Tanks enter the city, and with the special forces above the commanding heights of the city, the pace of the war is accelerating.

Many of the Islamic State soldiers who appeared on the rooftops of the buildings at the same time were greeted by the relentless fire from the helicopters.

Especially those small helicopter gunships, the fire of the two open helicopter gates, and the fire of two machine guns, suppressed the ISIS militants who appeared on the roof.

Under the combination of the night vision system and the identification device, anyone who does not carry the identification device is the target of the attack.

At the same time. The multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicle transports a large number of infantry to the tank's side and coordinates the tank's advance. Compress all the enemies in the city in the direction of the west of the city.

The hinds of the two air assault battalions also specially selected the armed vehicles on the streets, and one by one the missiles went down, and there were dense explosions everywhere.

The Vulcan cannon under the nose of the helicopter has also become a killing weapon for ground personnel.

The entire city, in the face of a sudden attack by a heavy group, the Islamic State forces did not have the ability to resist strongly, and under the propulsion of tanks and helicopters, all could only retreat.

At the same time, a large number of terror robots also appeared in small alleys or buildings with fire points.

The same machine gun on the terror robot quickly became a nightmare for every ISIS militant.

In particular, the terror robots nimblely walked on the buildings, attacked from a high position, and ambushed in the alleys on both sides of each tank passing, and those ISIS fighters who wanted to attack the side of the tank in a roundabout way were all poured blood mold.

Under the superior coordinated operation, the whole battle went very smoothly, and the combat effectiveness of the Islamic State armed forces is indeed not weak in terms of individual soldiers, and the combat quality is also quite high.

However, the natural superiority in weapons and equipment, coupled with the combat capability of every soldier in the Red Guard Corps, is not weak.

What's more, there are still a large number of special forces in the city cooperating, accurate sniping, every shot is drinking blood, and every special soldier of the Red Guard Corps, in Tikrit, is a deadly star.

As the tanks advanced, the battle spread to the center of the city, and the time was less than an hour.

All the armed resistance in eastern Tikrit has either fled here or has been killed.

A large number of Tikrits, with their wives and children, hid in their homes, listening in fear to the sound of gunfire and explosions outside.

The main thing is that in such an environment, they can only pray that the flames of war do not spread to their homes.

At the same time, in Tikrit, the television and radio stations have all been controlled by commandos and sniper squads for the first time.

After the electromagnetic suppression stopped, the city's radio and the sound of each region also sounded.

"We are the Iraqi Defense Forces' Marin Division, and we are on a combat mission to recapture Tikrit, please stay in the house quietly, do not appear on the street, and at the same time, if you encounter the armed forces of the Islamic State and their threat, please rescue the troops outside as soon as possible, they will do their best to help everyone and rescue them from the mouth of the armed forces of the Islamic State......"

"Listen to the Islamic State forces in Tikrit, the whole city has been completely surrounded by our division, the sky is a powerful air force with no end in sight, there are more than 500 main battle tanks and thousands of armored vehicles on the ground, our determination to recover Tikrit is unprecedentedly firm, and before dawn, completely destroy all the formed resistance, no one can escape from here, for any armed resistance, we will resolutely exterminate it, and advise those who are still resisting to lay down their arms and surrender......"

Loudspeakers and loudspeakers echoed over the city, and all the passages in and out of the entire city were surrounded by ground troops, and the lines of withdrawal were cut off by special forces.

For the 20,000 ISIS forces in Tikrit, Cai Ruichen's order is to annihilate them all.

He doesn't need these armed men, most of whom are unconscionable, to eliminate these armed forces as much as possible, and also to help al-Baghdadi control the Islamic State, as for the strength, Cai Ruichen will naturally make up for the losses of the Islamic State in large quantities, as for the current armed soldiers, it is better to die early.
