Roaring to confirm the identification of friend and foe, the major was temporarily relieved.

Seeing that the soldiers were scattering in all directions, firmly guarding several road passes and commanding heights nearby, and the guys at the battalion headquarters had also set up a fairly solid forward command post, Major Richard ordered the squads to keep in touch and try their best to find out the enemy's movements in the city, and then sat down to catch a breath, drank two sips of water and wiped his mouth.

Moments later, Tong Guò called the command center in the rear through the satellite encrypted channel, and he reported in a slightly hoarse voice:

"The 1st Battalion of the 502nd Regiment landed and assaulted Shun Lì, and is currently consolidating its positions in the city; The landing point has been cleared, and a second batch of reinforcements is requested to be delivered before dusk! ”

Whether the timely reinforcement of the follow-up troops is crucial to the success or failure of the 502nd Regiment.

As one of the backbone of the US military's rapid response, the 101st Air Assault Division has formed a helicopter number far exceeding that of ordinary army divisions, but it still cannot guarantee a one-time air drop of the entire division's strength, and it must make several round-trip landings in order to accumulate an assault force equivalent to a combat brigade in the combat area.

For Major Richard, who led his men to fight in Kutaisi, the city where the headquarters of the Soviet Army Group was stationed, he knew very well that his lightly armed commandos could not confront the Russians head-on with tanks and heavy artillery, and now all they had to do was to destroy the enemy's communications command and logistics supply system as much as possible, quickly resolve the battle in the urban area, create chaos, and then rely on the large complex terrain they occupied to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and then conduct a surprise battle with internal and external attacks when the main force drove north from Batumi.

After doing this, the sound of gunfire heard nearby was no longer so violent. The Major grabbed his helmet and buckled it to his head, tightening the jaw cord. Grab an M4 carbine in the corner. Climb to the top of the building to observe the battle.

Thinking that he and his soldiers were now fighting the enemy in the lair of the Russian army group, the major's expression was quite calm, and there was still a hint of nervousness in his expression, and he could only secretly pray that the fire support promised by the air force would not be wasted, and that the heavily-armed troops on the ground could be covered up as much as possible.

In the face of the powerful counterattack of the Russians, it is difficult to say how long these elite commandos can hold out; Now count on the 6th Marine Division and those bearded Turks to quickly break through the deep defenses of the Russians!

……

As the 101st Division descended from the sky, fierce fighting in Kutaisi continued from noon to late at night.

For this heavy dà change that appeared on the front front. Long Yun didn't know it at first, and he only learned the news from the regiment headquarters later in the day.

In the afternoon of that day, after returning to Stavropol, he had a hurried meal and a short rest, and just as he was sleeping a little dazed because of fatigue, he suddenly heard a woman's voice calling:

"Victor...... Victor? Are you asleep, you wake up first......"

"Uh......"

When he was about to fall asleep, he was awakened a little by the girl's shaking, Long Yun was still a little in a trance at this time, and after he opened his eyes, he was stunned for a few seconds, only to realize that this was in the Stavropol base in the parallel world.

After fierce air battles in recent days. Flying a fighter jet is inherently a very physically demanding job, and even with Viktor Rezenov's abundant physical strength, it is a bit unbearable; Not to mention the busy military affairs like he is now. In the interval between operations, we also had to consider the overall tactical arrangements for "anti-radiation operations," and now I only feel that a wave of drowsiness is coming, and even my brain can hardly turn around.

In this way, sleepy-eyed sat up and put on his coat, Long Yun asked Valentina, who was leaning over the window and watching, looking concerned, only to know that it was the regiment headquarters that received a new battle report from the command system, so he asked her to wake him up.

Speaking of which, as a front-line combatant in the Soviet Air Force, Viktor had no need and should not have access to operational intelligence at the theater level. But not to mention that he is now a major general of the air force and a senior officer of the Air Force, and that he alone has shown the value of the battle and even the strategic level in the Caucasus theater of operations, and now all the information in the chain of command is completely open to him, without the slightest taboo on secrecy -- for an ace who has shot down more than a hundred planes, there is no doubt about his loyalty!

Because of this, hearing Valentina's words, Long Yun was not surprised:

"So...... Where's the battle report? If there are any new trends in the Americans, I'll take a look. ”

"Things seem to be in a hurry, I've already brought the materials,"

Seeing Victor returning from the fierce battle, he was woken up by himself before he had much rest, Valentina saw the man's eyelids fighting, obviously lacking sleep, and felt a little unbearable, in fact, she didn't want Victor to rest for a while? However, when she went to the regiment headquarters before, she saw that the head of Samsonov and the others had stern expressions, and it seemed that the situation was a little bad, so she had to trot all the way back to wake up this guy, and when the battle situation was urgent, she couldn't care about it:

"I listened to Commander Samsonov and wanted you to strike again, of course...... If you're tired, I'll explain the situation to them. ”

While explaining to Victor in a soft voice, Valentina walked away a few steps and poured him a refreshing glass of lemonade, so that the "lover" could take two sips to sober up. Taking the water cup handed by the woman, while looking through the few fax papers in his hand, Long Yun's eyes fell on a hastily sketched diagram of the war zone, and he quickly understood the current front-line battle situation.

Penetrating from ultra-low altitudes in the direction of the coastline, the Americans are launching a raid on Kutaisi?

"No, no, Valya! There is a new situation on the front line, these Yankees who are idle and have nothing to do, they must have sent airborne troops to attack Kutaisi. -- These people really don't stop for a moment, what are they doing? ”

Relying on a little military literacy accumulated in military schools in the real world, coupled with a simple analysis of the current war situation, Long Yun immediately figured out NATO's "frog jumping" combat intentions, and thought to himself that no wonder these guys were so active this morning, they were "agile eagles" and helicopters, so they were playing such a trick!

Long Yun's understanding of the US Army's air assault force is relatively limited. However, he is very sure that NATO's air raids are generally in the form of airborne and parachute landings, and these lightly armed troops are not capable of directly confronting the Soviet Union's heavy ground forces. But now, since the Americans knew that this matter could not be long-lasting, but still carried out the battle plan, it can only show one thing, that is, a large-scale frontal offensive by the NATO Army is already on the line!

When the thought reached this point, the previous sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and Long Yun grabbed his coat and rushed out the door, running all the way to the combat preparation room.

These hateful fellows first sent a group of unlucky bastards in the morning to brush up their achievements, and also got a black "Agile Eagle" as bait, and then they made a big attack when they broke away from the return ship and withdrew from the battle line -- such a tricky way of action, could it be that the Americans had already figured out the law of action and specifically picked him out of the air before launching the attack?

Thinking that the identity of Viktor Rezenov will affect the final decision of NATO's battle package, this is indeed the highest praise from the enemy's side for a pilot, but it is a pity that he has no heart to appreciate himself now, and it is only right to take to the air to fight!

Running all the way to the combat preparation room, Long Yun quickly packed up the flight suit and other equipment, and at this time, the ground crew pilot who came in a hurry reported to him that the white No. 20 Su-27S that was dispatched in the morning was undergoing maintenance and testing, and it was temporarily unsuitable for lift-off operations. So he instructed the lads to do their duty and tow out the Red Seventeen, which had not been dispatched recently; As one of Victor's planes, the Red Seventeen had been on standby, with missiles mounted on pylons and fuel quickly refilled, ready to go now.

As soon as he was ready, he sat in the cockpit of the red No. 17 Su-27S that he had not seen for a long time, and Long Yun hurriedly checked the onboard electronic systems and control operations, and was still thinking about how to fight the next battle.

With his knowledge of NATO's air assault forces, the 101st Air Assault Division, which launched this attack, was equipped with a large number of helicopters and strong mobility; But if there is a weakness in them, it is that the mobile transport capacity is still insufficient, and even if the helicopters of the whole division are concentrated, they can only transport three or four battalions of assault troops at a time.

In the face of Kutaisi, the heavily defended headquarters of the Soviet ground forces, and other important targets nearby, the assault strength of several battalions can be said to be a drop in the bucket; In other words, if the Americans really want to win this battle, they must constantly provide personnel and supply support to the frontline troops. This kind of thing, when the NATO side has complete air supremacy, it can be reduced to a simple problem of fleet attendance, but now the Americans have clearly not obtained air supremacy in the theater, and they even dare to invest in the 101st Division to launch a surprise attack, I have to say that the gambler mentality of these guys is quite strong!

Just as Long Yun was contemplating, his landline had been brought to the top of the runway by the Ural-4320 tractor.

The nose of the aircraft is aimed at the light yellow runway markings, the red No. 17 Su-27S ready to take off, the wings of the wide Sukhoi fighter are hung with large guns of different lengths, and the two AL-31F engines are emitting a calm roar, which looks a little more awe-inspiring and murderous than usual; After a brief contact with the control tower, confirming that the fighters were ready normally, and roughly figuring out the Americans' combat intentions, Long Yun waved his hand to the ground crew pilots standing next to the runway, and then released the brakes, pushed the throttle valve forward, and turned on the afterburner.

As the engine speed suddenly increased and a thunderous roar erupted, the fuel-filled metal giant bird quickly roared and accelerated into the air, speeding towards the war-torn southern sky. (To be continued......)
