Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 66 Z-9 Attack Helicopter? Let's take it down first (6th update, requesting monthly tickets and recommendations.)

"Of course not, I'm not that stupid."

Gao Cheng shook his head and said seriously, "It's true that the 702nd Regiment is going to attack, but it's not about using infantry to overwhelm them; that's what assault tanks do."

I guess the Blue Army realized this and knew they couldn't hold their positions, so they simply abandoned their forward positions and retreated to extend their depth.

They scurried inside like turtles, leaving our tanks helpless.

And that's not what I'm most worried about. We haven't even seen a glimpse of the Blues yet; what are they planning? That's what worries me.

Gao Cheng is capable of being the company commander of the Seventh Steel Company; he has some skills and his analysis is very logical.

It wasn't just Junzhang's father who helped!

"The Blues team we're facing this time is completely different from the ones we've faced before. Their playing style is very strange, and I have no idea what to do with them."

Hong Xingguo also sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

This was beyond his comprehension!

The situations of Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo are not isolated cases; this is a common question across the entire 702nd Regiment, with everyone unable to figure out what the Blue Army is up to.

In the 90s, the combat methods of my country's armed forces were still very simple and outdated, far behind advanced levels.

By selecting elite troops from across the entire army group to form a blue force, and using the Kuwait War as a case study, they developed the most advanced combat tactics in the world.

Then, the research results are disseminated to the grassroots level through large-scale combat exercises.

This is one of the ways my country is reforming and strengthening its military!

The whole model is similar to the slogan of reform and opening up—let some people get rich first, and then drive everyone else to get rich. The original intention of both is the same.

The entire 702nd Regiment could not understand the Blue Army; it was entirely within the foreseeable scope.

Just as the Steel Seventh Company successfully captured Hill 034 without firing a single shot, the morale of the entire 702nd Regiment soared, and they prepared to continue their advance in one fell swoop.

The Blue Army's attack is underway!

Their tactics are extremely cunning, their attack speed is extremely fast, their thinking is very clear, their fighting style is extremely fierce, and the troops they deploy are also top-notch.

Five Z-9W attack helicopters, flying at extremely low altitudes to evade radar detection and carrying fierce firepower, appeared like ghosts.

Because of the mountainous terrain, the mountains block the sound of helicopters from spreading.

Even for the Steel Seventh Company, which was at the forefront of the battlefield, the armed helicopter formation had already flown overhead in the short time it took to hear the sound and react.

Then came the devastating blow!

The AKD-8 air-to-ground anti-tank missile, along with 57mm and 90mm air-to-ground rockets, bombarded the area.

The tank units deployed at the front lines were caught off guard by this sudden attack, without even having time to react.

More than two-thirds of the tank and armored units were forced to withdraw from the battlefield in this single round of attacks.

After wiping out the heavy machine gun and tank formations of the 702nd Regiment, the armed helicopter squadron completely ignored the infantry units and headed straight for the rear command center.

Gao Cheng reacted quickly; seeing that things were not going well, he immediately grabbed the radio to issue a notification.

"The vanguards of squads 1 to 5 are ready. Five shots are fired simultaneously. Each squad selects its target from left to right."

Gao Cheng's order was relayed to the communications soldiers in each squad, and the squad leaders immediately began to organize.

Shi Jin shouted at the top of his lungs, "Jackie Chan, the company commander has given an urgent order: Vanguard One, get ready, second helicopter on the right, take him down!"

The third squad has already reached Hill 034. Jackie Chan's position is excellent; all five helicopters are within his sight.

It was also within the firing range of the Vanguard One.

Jackie Chan immediately put down the light machine gun, knelt on one knee, and deftly shrugged off the Qianwei-1 man-portable air defense missile, quickly preparing to fire.

As China's second-generation portable air defense missile, the Qianwei-1 has extremely good performance.

Weighing only 16.5 kg, with an operational range of 500–5000 meters, an operational altitude of 30–4000 meters, a maximum flight speed of 600 m/s, and infrared adaptive tracking.

The most, most, most important point is...

The Vanguard-1's combat reaction time is as short as 10 seconds.

From system startup to battery activation to ejection tube, the entire process takes no more than 5 seconds, leaving the soldier with 5 seconds for aiming.

Unlike the other soldiers in the Steel Seventh Company, Jackie Chan only did simulated aiming while holding an empty tube.

In his previous life, he had fired various anti-aircraft missiles, including the Vanguard-1 portable air defense system, which was about to be phased out 21 years later.

With his familiarity with the Qianwei-1 man-portable missile, Jackie Chan locked onto an armed helicopter in less than 8 seconds and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Pfft~"

Flames flew out from the missile slippers.

A few meters after it flew out, the missile's internal engine ignited, providing secondary thrust and increasing the missile's speed to 600 meters per second.

Upon discovering that it had been locked on, the armed helicopter in the sky immediately began emergency evasive maneuvers.

It's a pity it's too late.

Jackie Chan's quick and timely launch meant that by the time the helicopter reacted, it was already within infrared tracking range.

The helium-cooled indium antimonide detector on the warhead locked onto the helicopter's thermal radiation as a target and activated adaptive infrared tracking.

Even the emergency dropping of incendiary bombs by armed helicopters was to no avail.

"Bang!"

Thick white smoke billowed from the smoke generator.

The armed helicopter that was hit did not explode, but the smoke indicated that it had been hit and was eliminated, and it had to withdraw from the exercise immediately.

As for why the shot hit but didn't explode, Jackie Chan wasn't surprised at all.

This is just a drill; if it were a real fight, things would be very different.

The gun is loaded with blanks; you can only hear the sound but there's no bullet inside. This man-portable missile, it's obvious, has an empty bullet.

"Good, well done."

When instructor Hong Xingguo saw this achievement, he couldn't help but shout "Well done!" with joy.

"Who hit that? That was so accurate!"

Gao Cheng was also very happy and looked expectantly at the other helicopters.

pity.

The Qianwei-1 missile, launched a few seconds later than Jackie Chan's, failed to achieve any further success and was easily outmaneuvered by the attack helicopter.

"Why."

Gao Cheng angrily punched the ground, but couldn't blame the soldiers.

After all, the accuracy of man-portable missiles against aircraft is limited by various factors, not to mention that the reaction time of the last four missiles was a few seconds slower, by which time the armed helicopter was already far away.

The remaining four armed helicopters that were not shot down began their ultimate objective.

They quickly arrived above the regimental command post.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The whistling sound filled the air.

Four armed helicopters unleashed their full firepower simultaneously, and the rocket pods on both sides of the fuselage appeared to be on fire, engulfed in flames from front to back.

A barrage of 57mm/90mm air-to-ground rockets rained down on the command center.

Then...

The smoke generators representing casualties were triggered in large numbers. Due to the large number of triggers at the same time, thick white smoke even completely covered the command center.
