Calling the helicopter to strike directly is the last option Chen Shen wants to use, or is that sentence, the risk is too high, and the expected loss is too great.

This airfield is the core of the core of the Kachin army, and a series of subsequent strategic arrangements are based on this airfield and based on the aircraft in the airport.

So, if you want to say that there is no complete defense system here, it is absolutely impossible.

If a small number of highly concealed light weapons can be used to sneak attack, it is better to say that once the "large equipment" such as helicopters enters the field, then what the two sides will unfold is bound to be a never-ending struggle.

The purpose of the Dongfeng Corps is to take out all the fixed-wing fighters, and the purpose of the Kachin is to take out the helicopters.

The operational objectives of the two sides seem to be "counter-aligned", but in fact, judging from the results, no matter whether the purpose of the Dongfeng Corps can be achieved or not, it will be difficult for this helicopter to retreat in its entirety.

This operation was really fatal, but Cheng Lei accepted the order without the slightest hesitation.

"Prepare for takeoff, arrive at the intended attack position in 10 minutes, please be ready."

"Understand, we will attack synchronously from the ground."

Chen Shen replied in a slightly solemn tone, and then, he immediately made a deployment of the power at hand.

"Eight people are divided into three groups, one group is responsible for reconnaissance and long-range fire support, using light machine guns and sniper rifles to suppress the airfield fire point at a distance of 800 meters."

"2 groups of 3 people are responsible for operating man-portable anti-aircraft missiles, finding suitable firing positions and striking at enemy ground units."

"The three assault groups are responsible for feints and disturbances to create offensive opportunities for helicopters."

"Wait."

"Hit ground units with the Avantgarde-2?"

Before Chen Shen's words were finished, someone in the team couldn't help but interrupt him, looking at the other party's confused eyes, Chen Shen opened his mouth and said:

"That's right, to hit ground units."

"Theoretically, the Avantgarde-2's infrared detection system can fully lock the heat source of the ground vehicle at a range of about 1 kilometer, the only problem is that you have to find a suitable elevation angle."

"There's a depression in front of the airport, it should be able to reach an elevation angle of 10 degrees, and in that position, find a way to kill their M2 or other ground vehicles, no problem, right?"

"No problem!"

After receiving Chen Shen's explanation, the team members immediately nodded and did not ask any more questions.

He had obviously never heard of such a thing, but he was only subconsciously puzzled about Chen Shen's decision, without the slightest "doubt".

And the reason why Chen Shen was able to put forward this plan was actually due to the experience of his previous life.

In his impression, there has always been a problem in the field of "MANPADS", that is:

Is it possible to hit a plane with a javelin and a tank with a stinger?

This problem was not solved for a long time, until after the real "war" began, and both missiles proved their worth with real combat examples.

The Javelin can hit a plane, and the Stinger can also hit a tank.

Although on the surface the infrared guidance method has high requirements for the strength of the heat source, if the distance is close enough, none of this is a problem.

It can't be locked at a distance of 6 kilometers, can't it be locked at 800 meters?

The only problem is that anti-aircraft missiles do not have armor-piercing capabilities, and their lethality to ground armor is limited.

But at this time, Chen Shen did not pursue a shot into the soul, even if he couldn't beat the M2, it was always no problem to hit the truck.

Once the plan is in place, everyone is ready to go.

At this time, there were still 8 minutes before the helicopter arrived at the intended combat position, and everyone jumped out of the jungle and approached the airport as fast as possible.

With the help of the trucks that had been left on the side of the road, the Dongfeng Corps assault team quickly closed the distance, but just as they were about to arrive at the predetermined combat position, a convoy had already driven towards them on the opposite side.

——

It's the Kachin Army.

To be precise, it was the mobile unit of the Kachin army airfield defenders.

This convoy has a total of 8 vehicles with more than 100 people, and the direction they are traveling is the direction from which the Dongfeng Corps came.

Sure enough, there were high-ranking people in the airport.

They have already discovered the flaws in this airfield and are already ready to send someone to clean up the jungle heights where anti-aircraft missiles are most likely to be launched.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere is tense.

At this point, they were still some distance away from the airport's real warning zone, but there was no doubt that they couldn't drive right under each other's noses.

You have to strike first, and even if your offensive actions are exposed, this convoy must be disposed of!

"Prepare for battle."

Chen Shen ordered in a low voice, and then, the truck in which the Dongfeng Corps was riding suddenly braked and stopped on the side of the road.

The Kachin convoy continued to move forward, but at a slower pace.

And like those teams that did not have any experience in mobile warfare, they made a fatal mistake.

They wanted to determine the identity of the trucks of the Eastern Corps, but instead of sending the first vehicle to inspect and reconnoitre, a whole convoy drove over and stopped less than 20 meters away from the truck.

Two officer-looking people stepped out of the jeep as the lead car, but Chen Shen didn't give them a chance to get closer.

"Get out of the car!"

After a short command, the six big men in the back of the truck jumped out of the car almost at the same time.

Immediately afterward, the battle formation quickly unfolded.

They didn't try to find any cover, the two machine guns opened fire at the same time, and in less than 3 seconds, the lead car and the officer standing next to the car were directly beaten into a sieve.

Immediately after, the remaining 4 team members quickly pulled away to the flank, firing at the same full speed, the same covering shot.

The first 4 cars didn't have time to react at all, and in just 30 seconds, the occupants of the cars were completely wiped out.

And after 30 seconds, they finally organized a counterattack, but at this time, Chen Shen and Lin He, who were covered by other team members, had already seized the high position on the left side of the road.

A series of small guns fell, and two more cars were emptied.

There were less than 20 people left in the last two trucks, but at this moment, they no longer had any will to resist.

"Reload! Keep moving! ”

Two smoke shots popped out, the road behind the convoy was completely cut off, and the remaining Kachin soldiers directly laid down their weapons and tried to surrender, but Chen Shen did not give them a chance at all.

Is this the time to take prisoners?

Apparently not.

The only answer to the enemy's shouts was more intense gunfire.

Two minutes later, the entire convoy was completely wiped out.

In these two minutes, the Dongfeng Corps poured more than 1,500 rounds of ammunition, the machine gunners emptied at least two magazines each, and the grenades were consumed by more than half.

But it's all worth it.

Because this enemy convoy was completely unable to organize any effective counterattack from start to finish!

"The action continues!"

"The reconnaissance group occupies a favorable terrain, the assault group sorts out its equipment on the spot, and the support group continues to go to the depression to find a favorable position!"

Chen Shen ordered loudly, and the team of 8 people immediately divided into three ways and rushed to their respective predetermined battle positions.

At this point, the support group was still 400 meters from the depression, and it would take them at least two minutes to arrive.

And what the assault team led by Chen Shen had to do was to buy them these two minutes.

According to the original plan, they should have quietly approached the airport post before launching a harassing attack, judging by the current situation.

It's too late.

Chen Shen's gaze quickly swept over the already lifeless convoy, trying to find useful equipment.

And the team did not disappoint him, because on the back of a truck, he found a piece of equipment that could almost be decisive in the battle.

ZU-23-2。

Twin-mounted 23 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns!

Chen Shen guessed the intentions of some commanders of the other party's airfield.

Obviously, he just wanted to send this anti-aircraft gun to the commanding heights of the jungle to prepare for the possible attack of helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft by the Dongfeng Corps.

But he never expected that the speed of the Dongfeng Corps could be so fast that before they could complete the deployment, they had already directly intercepted this big dish!

Chen Shen was overjoyed, he knew that this truck and this anti-aircraft gun could not be easily destroyed by a few machine gun bullets, and if they could hold the direction of the airport, they could complete the destruction of all targets in the airport without even the support of helicopters.

"Use anti-aircraft artillery!"

Chen Shen shouted loudly.

Then, he jumped into the truck first, lifted the bayonet, adjusted the steering machine, and aimed at the airport.

With a slight pull of the trigger, most of the targets in the airport will be wiped out.

But at this moment, Lin He, who was standing behind him, suddenly made a move.

He grabbed Chen Shen's body armor and dragged him several meters away, and then rolled under the roadbed.

Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion sounded, and when Chen Shen turned around, this anti-aircraft gun had been completely destroyed!

This is not the work of the M2.

What the hell, you have Dow too?!

Chen Shen looked in the direction of the airport with palpitations, and at this time, the opponent's M2 had already set up a cannon and began to suppress the fire on the road where the convoy was located.

"Hidden! Take cover! ”

The three members of the support group were still 200 meters from the depression, but they did not expose their positions and were not hindered in any way.

But their speed was too slow, each carrying at least 40 kilograms of weight, or after the forced march through the jungle, all of them had already exhausted their physical strength to the limit.

For a while, the three members of the assault group who exposed their positions, and even the two members of the reconnaissance group, fell into passivity.

The other side carried out suppressive fire without any scruples, the bullets of the heavy machine guns flew everywhere on the road, the mortar shells began to fall with a scream, and the large-caliber machine guns were even more craters!

It's a joke to rely on some people to attack the airport, and it's normal to be suppressed, but if you can really press the other party to fight, it's a myth.

Chen Shen didn't have any chance to shoot, in the current situation, as long as he dared to show his head, there was only one result to greet him:

Smashed to pieces.

"Be hidden! Retreat into the jungle! ”

"Don't fight back! Don't fight back! ”

He kept giving orders, the enemy fire intensified, and the second mobile group from the airfield began to approach the position of the convoy.

It only takes five minutes at most, and they can drive in front of Chen Shen, and then rely on the suppression of long-range firepower to search them out and knock them out one by one.

The situation was extremely urgent, but Chen Shen was no longer nervous.

Because he knew that most of the other party's firepower, most of the attention, had been attracted.

This is the best fighter of the Mi-171SH, although there are still three minutes before the agreed attack time, but with Cheng Lei's experience, he will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

——

The truth was just as he expected.

Thirty seconds later, a dark green shadow rose from the top of the mountain behind Chen Shen.

And along with this shadow appeared, a burst of fire!

The rockets in the hive rushed straight in the direction of the airfield, sending up a dense series of explosion smoke and dust on the ground.

The first to bear the brunt is the M2 armored vehicle, which even the tank can't withstand the top firepower, and hitting lightly armored units is like tearing paper.

The flames and explosions silenced the entire airport, and the Mi-171 re-disappeared beneath the mountain.

Without a single attack, the helicopter was like a nimble assassin, striking a fatal blow from the treetops and then quickly escaping, maneuvering in search of the next opportunity.

Under its cover, the support group finally reached the predetermined position and obtained a pitch angle at which it could fire.

They did not lose sight, because in just these two minutes, the P51, driven from the hangar, had already begun to slide.

In an emergency, it only takes as little as 450 meters for this thing to take off.

The corresponding glide time is 20 seconds.

"Jerk off! Jerk off! ”

Chen Shen shouted loudly.

The missiles had locked on to the position of the P51, but at the same time, all the thermal decoys that had been prepared in the airfield for a long time had been launched.

Dozens of flares rose into the air at an angle, forming a "net of fire" in front of the P51 and the anti-aircraft missile.

Two Avantgarde-2 headed for the P51, but lost its target midway and exploded on the line of fire.

In just one moment, the P51 suddenly pulled up, almost 60 degrees upward, and then quickly dived again, gaining an ultra-high ground-grazing speed.

No anti-aircraft missile can lock at such a close distance and at such a high speed.

Because the operator's eyes can hardly keep up with the speed at which the plane flies.

Gotta withdraw.

As long as one plane flies, the Dongfeng Corps' assault plan will fail, because it is impossible for them to continue to rush head-on while the opponent has air superiority.

——

However, the change in the situation on the battlefield is often in that moment.

When the P51 finished turning and continued to pull up, the two Qianwei-2 launched in the second round actually crossed the fire net and caught up with the P51 that was still maneuvering at high speed.

The explosion sounded, and at this moment, probability was revealed.

The 70% anti-jamming rate of the Avantgarde-2 anti-aircraft missile brought amazing results, and the P51 wing was damaged, and it smashed into the middle of the runway at an angle.

The fire and debris covered the two runways, and the take-off conditions of the other planes have become extremely harsh.

"It's now!"

Without Chen Shen's order, the Mi-171SH appeared in the air again, ready to attack.

But almost at the same time, another helicopter appeared in the sky not far away.

That's also a Mi-171SH.

Rockets too!
