Chapter 1181: Accelerated Attack!
Thirty-two blackened helicopters flew at breakneck heights above the treetops.
A fire attack detachment consisting of eight AH-1 "Super Cobra" attack helicopters flew in front, followed by eight Mi-2**RO "Armed Hind" helicopter gunships, escorted by 16 CH-47 "Chinook" tandem rotor heavy transport helicopters.
It should be noted that eight Mi-2**RO "Armed Hind" helicopter gunships also carried forty soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon. In addition to the Chinooks, each of which can transport one infantry platoon at a time, the air assault group can project nearly a battalion of troops into the enemy's deep assault in a single sortie.
In the established airspace, the Mi-2**RO "Armed Hind" helicopter gunship, carrying 40 soldiers of the special operations group led by Jiang Zhongyi, began to break away from the formation, and they divided into two groups and flew at an accelerated pace towards the wings. Ten minutes later, twenty of each special scouts were lowered to the ground by rope in the established airspace.
Jiang Zhongyi personally led a special operations platoon to break through the enemy's key positions on both sides of the depth, occupy the commanding heights on the left and right, and firmly control the passage of the Hydra troops to the left and right. Wade didn't think about taking either or one of these positions first, because he didn't expect to be beaten to the ground.
More than half of the hundreds of M1A4SP "Super Abrams" main battle tanks were lost under the opponent's air strikes, and the remaining twenty or thirty retreated in panic and hid in the valley just five kilometers away from the Eagle's Nest base.
Does Wade have any other vehicle in his hands now that can project troops into the battlefield faster than the Herdsman's Army, after losing the entire Apache fleet. The UH-60 "Black Hawk" utility helicopters parked at the base could still be used even if some of them survived, Wade did not dare to send them out again, he had already seen the strong anti-aircraft firepower of the Mujia Army.
After Jiang Zhongyi's special operations platoon successfully occupied the commanding heights on both flanks, the main forces of the air assault group also flew to a place only 10 kilometers away from the target airspace.
At this time, the second round of blows of Zhang Rusong's Yuanhuo group began.
The Tornado multiple rocket launchers, loaded with precision-guided munitions, completed the second round of 144 salvos of 1400-millimeter rockets in half a minute in an almost general state according to the target parameters transmitted by the command and control intelligence center without any threat.
With the Eagle's Nest base as the support point, the textbook-style deployment of the Nine-headed Eagle Force presents an acute triangle posture, with the armored force as the acute angle, the sharpest angle has been knocked out at this moment, in Li Mu's opinion, Wade's triangle will eventually become a cage besieging himself.
The first round of strikes by the long-range fire group was an area attack on the Eagle's Nest base, using incendiary-incendiary-bombs, while this time, precision-guided munitions were used, which were more expensive than incendiary-incendiary bombs, and were mainly aimed at point-shaped enemy targets.
A precision-guided munition of millions of dollars is equivalent to a small surface-to-surface missile, and this round of salvo firing alone has cost Li Mu more than $100 million.
At the Eagle's Nest base, where the smoke had just cleared, under Wade's strong order, the damage management personnel were busy fighting the fire, and the fighters hurriedly sorted out the air defense equipment and rebuilt the air defense system. However, a second blow came as promised. As many as 30 precision-guided munitions entered the air without being in the spot, and then swooped down on their respective targets at a given altitude.
All kinds of air defense equipment that had just been pulled out of the underground warehouse were immediately caught by a seeker with the function of self-seeking, identification of friend and foe, and identification of weapon types, and then another doom came.
The Eagle's Nest base was once again caught in a sea of fire, but this time it was not as enthusiastic as the last time, but the air defense positions around and around the base, as if they had been lit at the same time, were extraordinarily conspicuous in the night, dotting the base.
More rocket warheads swooped down on the Hydra's front-line troops at various target points, heavy fire positions, communication positions, supply points, and even fire bunkers.
One by one, they were uprooted.
After the attack of the long-range fire group was completed, the air assault group arrived at the target airspace according to the time node, and the whole link was connected almost every minute. If you are fast, you may be accidentally injured by your own falling rockets, and if you are slow, you will not be able to form a continuous assault effect.
The AH-1 Super Cobra helicopter gunship began to break away from formation and advance forward, naming enemy fire points with rocket launchers hanging under its two short wings and a 25mm cannon under the nose. Use powerful firepower to open the passage for the infantry units that are about to land, providing strong fire cover.
After the air assault force of five companies led by Li Fengxiang landed and launched an attack posture, after stabilizing their position, they immediately turned around and attacked. The armored assault group, the main combat force of the ground forces, has exchanged fire with the Hydra forces at the front. As a result, an attack posture of a huge inverted firepower point and an inverted triangle formation was formed. After Li Fengxiang led his troops to land, he immediately turned around and launched an attack from the six o'clock position of the Hydra Eagle Army, and it was at this time that the armored assault group launched a surprise attack from the front.
The forward units of the Hydra Force cannot be separated from each other.
In the command and control center of the Tiger's Den base, the big screen continued to transmit real-time combat footage on various battlefields, and Li Mu and Zhang Yimo stood there side by side, paying close attention.
Zhang Yimo said, "Does the Hydra Eagle still have the strength to fight back?"
Shaking his head, Li Mu said, "It's basically gone." All they have left now is ground troops, and after losing most of the Abrams, the speed of their destruction depends mainly on the strength of our front-line troops. ”
Suddenly, Zhang Yimo pointed to one of the sub-windows on the big screen and said, "Lao Li, look, Zhao Xu actually let Tonggusta run in front." What is this guy doing? ”
Li Mu looked at it carefully, immediately smiled, and said, "I'm afraid he's suffocating." His tank group has no opponents, and the remaining infantry combat vehicles and armored vehicles are only slaughtered. We still have fewer tanks, and he is using Tunggusta to make up for the lack of assault forces and speed up the course of the battle. ”
"Ground assault with Tunggusta?" he figured it out. Zhang Yimo smiled angrily.
"Flattening the fight, you say, besides tanks, what combat vehicles can withstand the salvo of four-barreled 30-millimeter guns and anti-helicopter missiles. Li Mu said.
Zhang Yimo said, "Tunggusta's anti-helicopter missiles can attack armored targets on the ground?"
"I don't know if the original model will work, we can do this, we use multi-energy missiles, our own technology. Li Mu said proudly.
As he spoke, the armored assault group rushed to the front of Tunggusta, which had already broken through to the enemy's forward position, and the quadruple 30-millimeter cannons on the turret and the anti-helicopter missiles on both sides of the turret were fired out as if they were not paying for money, and the forward troops of the Hydra Force were scattered.
Zhao Xu also has no choice, first of all, the Tunggusta field air defense system has no targets to defend, most of the vehicles that can attack from the air of the Hydra Force have been destroyed, and their base is still in the sea of fire, and there is no time for the forward troops.
In order to speed up the course of the battle, he did not stop and let the Tunggusta battalion rush forward and launch a surprise attack with the tank battalion. In terms of firepower, the firepower of one Tungusta is equal to four infantry chariots!
Li Mu asked loudly, "Where is the forward fire support detachment of the border forest?"
Zhang Lin immediately replied: "Enter the established position in five minutes!"
Li Mu resolutely issued an order, "Order! The forward fire support detachment changes its established battle plan! Immediately go to rendezvous with the left flank special operations platoon! Launch a rapid assault from the left flank toward the Eagle's Nest base! Order! Chen Yanning of the air support detachment and the left flank of the Hind detachment rendezvous! Cover the rapid assault of the forward fire support detachment!"
"Yes!" Zhang Lin quickly recorded the order and immediately went over to give it to each combat unit.
Li Mu turned his head and said to Li Jiujiu, "These three detachments can form a left-wing assault group. ”
"I think so. Li Jiu nodded and said, "The process of the battle is faster than we expected, and our troop deployment and configuration must also be changed accordingly to achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy faster." ”
Smiling, Li Mu said to Li Jiu and Zhang Yimo, "Isn't Wade like giving me a hook box, come and don't be rude, I'll teach him how to box." ”
Zhang Yimo and Li Jiu both laughed.
An Ran hurriedly walked over, her expression was a little solemn, and she whispered to Li Mu, "Old Li, let's end the battle before dawn." ”
All three were stunned.
Li Mu reacted, pointed to the ceiling, and looked at An Ran with an inquiring gaze. Enron nodded.
Taking a deep breath, Li Mu looked at the time and said, "There are still ten hours, which is enough." As he spoke, he glanced at the four of them and said in a deep voice, "In that case, we can't hide and tuck, and order all the troops to speed up the attack." Ordered Zhang Rusong's Yuanhuo group to enter a state of standby, and loaded me with sub-mother ammunition. If Wade wants to flee to the Lebanese border, Lao Tzu will let him know what the god of artillery is!"
"Yes!"
The command and control center's orders were quickly issued to the most basic combat unit, and the wording was serious and resolute, and the commander-in-chief asked all departments to eliminate the enemy in front of them within five hours and complete the encirclement of the Eagle's Nest base!
Fifteen minutes later, the left-wing assault group responsible for the left-wing assault had basically completed its assembly and was under the unified command of Jiang Zhongyi. Eight Mi-2**RO "Armed Hind" helicopter gunships, which did not fire a single shot, first rushed at a low altitude and carried out a sweeping air strike along the route of the left flank towards the Eagle's Nest base.
Behind it was a high-speed assault column of Humvees, a third of which towed 6 towed 107-mm 12-barrel rocket launchers, capable of turning into combat status in a minute. The speed of the Humvee high-speed vehicle is undoubtedly much faster than that of the armored assault group. They gallop forward at an average off-road speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour under the path of the hind.
This is the forward fire support detachment of the border passes, and under the situation of excess firepower on the frontal battlefield, Li Mu decisively turned them into a rapid assault force.
As the various units of the Mujia Army increased the speed of their attacks, the speed of the destruction of the Hydra Army was accelerated......
