Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2498 Costin's performance
The helicopter brigade of the Far East Expeditionary Army has not been established for a long time. After the Battle of Ufa, Jiang Tongmin once said that if they had played at that time, the tank troops on their side would never have suffered such a big loss. Jiang Tiezhang obviously remembered That's why I'm saying this now.The senior officers of the Expeditionary Army, Zhang Zizhong, Hu Li, and Jiang Tiezhang, because they are far away from the central government, do not have a good understanding of the efficacy of some cutting-edge weapons and new tactics that have emerged in the country. When they deploy tactics, they are not like domestic The commanders who went out were particularly targeted.Of course, since the Supreme Command is prudent in adding a helicopter brigade to the Far East Expeditionary Force, based on Jiang Tiezhang's understanding of Ouyang Yun, he feels that the helicopter brigade must have merits, and now he also hopes to learn more about it through actual combat.

Jiang Tongmin was very excited when he received the order. When he was still in school, he learned about the role of helicopters in modern warfare through letters from alumni who served on the front line. For the new Costin armed helicopter, he is full of expectations for anti-tank combat. "Boss, take a good look, I will make German tanks never dare to face us again!" He responded to Zhang Zizhong in this way, and then personally drove a latest Costin, with a squadron of various Costin armed The helicopter rushed towards Charles quickly.

To the southwest of Shire, on the side of a main road that runs through the village, there are several Tiger II tanks hidden in a dense bush. Lal is sitting in the command vehicle in the middle, smoking a cigarette while listening to the command post on the unnamed highland through the radio. communication between them.Out of trust in the combat power of this unit, Lal is not worried about the next battle.That's right, the performance of the Chinese mandrill is very good, and the scale of the armored force is not small.But don't forget that tanks, a not-so-new combat weapon, belonged to their Western patents from the very beginning.Although the tank, a weapon that only appeared in World War I, was invented by the British, it was the Germans who really made good use of it and made tanks have the ability to determine the success or failure of World War I like artillery.The Germans were the first to invent armored cluster tactics, and then blitzkrieg. It is no exaggeration to say that if the German army ranks second in terms of tanks, then no country in the world dares to be the first.

Lal was thinking about it, when a report from a distant scout suddenly came from his headset, saying that he had spotted a Chinese helicopter and was flying towards Shire.

"Understood, continue to reconnaissance, pay attention to the movement of the enemy's armor!" Lal replied, feeling a little regretful.The Chinese sent fighter planes for low-altitude reconnaissance, so his carefully planned ambush seemed to be going bankrupt. He didn't think the camouflage he set up could fool those low-flying fighter planes.However, he quickly changed his mind and thought: That's fine, then it's better to defeat the Chinese head-on, so that you can better reflect your ability. "All troops prepare for air defense and beware of surprise attacks by Chinese fighter planes!" Immediately afterwards, he conveyed this order formulaically.

As this order was transmitted to every tank, soon, the general-purpose machine guns of more than a hundred tanks near Shire adjusted their muzzle heights and began to point to the sky.

About 10 minutes later, Lal heard the humming engine of the Costin helicopter.He replaced the machine gunner and stood up straight from the machine gun position, picked up the binoculars and looked around, and saw thirteen strange-looking fighter planes flying towards him in a three-plane formation.The Chinese sent thirteen fighters all at once, which didn't seem like they were just going to perform reconnaissance missions. His brows were slightly frowned, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.Then he put down the binoculars to check the altitude visually, and found that the enemy aircraft group was flying at an altitude of about 500 meters, which was just outside the range of the general-purpose machine gun, and his uneasiness grew even stronger. "At this height, even if the Chinese launch a ground attack, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, right?" He immediately thought.

This thought was still lingering in his mind, when suddenly, a bright orange flame shot out from the left wing of a helicopter, his eyes widened, and his mind became confused: what do the Chinese want?
He didn't wonder for long - as a Tiger II tank about 500 meters in front of him suddenly exploded and caught fire, his heartbeat accelerated, and he finally understood why he felt uneasy just now - this so-called helicopter It actually has the ability to fight tanks! ?As expected of a seasoned veteran, he reacted very quickly, and immediately asked the commander in front of him: "That tank was hit, report the damage!" Seeing is believing.Although he already knew that the Chinese helicopters did have anti-tank capabilities, but he had to figure out the strength of this capability before considering the next action.

Silvale failed to answer his question, because it was Silvale's command vehicle that was hit, and Silvale was already lying in a pool of blood at this time.

Ouyang Yun invests a huge amount of money in the Xuebing Research and Development Institute every year, and his persistence regardless of cost has now come to the payback period.Therefore, not only super bombs will form combat power, but also tactical weapons such as rockets and missiles will change almost every day, and their performance will become more and more advanced.For example, the "Meteorite III" rocket that hit Silvale's command vehicle was not only faster than the early rockets, but also had considerable armor-piercing capabilities.

Lal was still waiting for the subordinates in front to report the number of battle damage. Jiang Tongmin ordered more helicopters to join the attack sequence.In Lal's field of vision, he saw bright spots of light as if falling from the sky, and then his tanks were hit one after another, exploded and burned, and the unlucky ones were directly blown over.

"Enemy attack!"

"Report, we were attacked by Chinese warplanes, and the Chinese used new anti-tank weapons! What should we do?"

"..." At this time, there is no need for him to urge his subordinates to give the number of battle damage, because the various screams in the headset can already explain everything.This is a way of fighting that Lal has never experienced, and what makes him feel ashamed and indignant is that he and many of his subordinates who were planning to fight a big battle to teach the Chinese a painful lesson, unexpectedly did not fight back under the attack of the Chinese Power.

"General, what should we do?"

"Sir, please instruct the next move!" Amidst the screams of his subordinates one after another, Lal's heart felt like a heavy hammer, and his face quickly turned iron blue.

The counterattack began when Jiang Tongmin ordered the entire attack. However, not to mention that the bullets of the general-purpose machine gun could not penetrate the armor of the Costin helicopter gunship even within the optimal range. What dealt a huge blow to the Germans' will to fight was It's fine if they don't fire, but once they fire to reveal their position, they will inevitably be attacked from the sky.And the "cannonballs" with bright tail flames are so accurate and so fast, so even if they clearly judged the attack direction in advance and tried their best to avoid it, nine out of ten they couldn't dodge at all.
