The reason why White's attacking aircraft is locked is simple.
A Red KJ-500 has flown approximately 300 kilometers behind the battle line.
Although the red side has lost the Beidou system, the radar warning system is still very developed, and aircraft do not necessarily need to rely on satellite navigation to fly.
At this time, most of the red side's forces were deployed on the eastern front to fight against the blue and yellow sides. The forces on the western front were relatively weak, and the airport was far away from the fighting front line. There was no white side airport close to the front, but there were still a few early warning aircraft.
Along the thousands of kilometers of border line, as long as there is fire somewhere, the early warning aircraft at the Red Square Airport will immediately take off and go to the area to provide early warning support, using the early warning aircraft to temporarily replace satellite reconnaissance.
Through the guidance of the early warning aircraft at the rear, even if the frontline was attacked and knocked out two radar stations, it still did not prevent the ground air defense forces from obtaining aerial guidance.
With the assistance of the radar of the early warning aircraft, the red side's Hongqi-9B surface-to-air missile took off from the launch position about 100 kilometers away from the rear, and soon reached the frontline airspace, biting these desperate Jaguar attacks.
machine.
The White Jaguar attack aircraft sent to perform ground attack missions suddenly became chaotic in the air. Under the attack of the Hongqi-9B anti-aircraft missile with extremely excellent comprehensive performance, an old-fashioned attack aircraft like the Jaguar had no chance to escape.
They didn't even have a chance to escape from the range of the HQ-9B.
Except for a few Jaguar attack aircraft pilots who parachuted immediately, most of the other Jaguar attack aircraft performing attack missions exploded into huge fireworks in the air.
The White command headquarters was not deterred by the failed attack. Their frontline commanders had no expression on their rock-hard faces and stared at the combat screen without saying a word.
Before launching the attack, he had doubts about whether the red team had completely lost its anti-air capabilities.
Although the Beidou positioning system is gone, the Red Army has been deploying WZ-7 and WZ-10 long-endurance strategic reconnaissance aircraft, as well as Attack-2 surveillance and attack integrated drones and KJ-500 early warning aircraft on the northeastern border over the years.
wait.
It may not be that easy to destroy one or two radar stations on the Red Front's frontline to paralyze the Red's air warning network through sneak attacks.
This batch of Jaguar attack aircraft plays a role in exploring paths, and secondly, they are actually cannon fodder.
Reluctant to let go of the child, one cannot trap the wolf.
White's frontline commander also understands this truth.
When playing on the red side, he never expected to take advantage at a relatively small cost.
Just as the red team launched an attack on the white team's Jaguar attack aircraft group, the white team's tank group had already reached a position less than three kilometers away from the front line.
Ground attack, this is what White wants.
Nothing demonstrates the value of an attack more than ground capture.
After reaching a range of 2,500 meters, White's tank clusters began to bombard Red's defense line. For a moment, smoke billowed and fire exploded on Red's defensive position.
Under the cover of the tanks, the White side's mountain troops began to drive Russian-made BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, coordinate with the infantry team on foot and equipment, and quickly approached the Red side's defense line.
The observation post issued an early warning to the position commander, informing White that the mountain infantry had begun a large-scale attack. Judging from the size of the troops, the frontal force was as large as a regiment, and more were expected to follow.
The Red Army commander in the Red Army's air-raid shelter immediately called his own tank group, and the Red Army tank group that had been hiding behind the position for a long time began to initiate a reunion.
The one that takes the lead is undoubtedly the Type 15 light tank.
The speed and maneuverability of this tank cannot be matched by heavy and medium tanks on mountainous terrain. Like a flexible goat, it quickly rushed to the high ground where the position was located and began to occupy favorable terrain.
The sudden appearance of the Type 15 light tank quickly targeted the White T-72 tank that bore the brunt. They received orders to occupy the established attack positions and fire freely upon arrival.
The Type 15 tank is equipped with a 105mm caliber tank gun, which is Blue Star's most powerful 105mm tank gun at present. It can fire armor-piercing projectiles, explosive grenades, armor-piercing projectiles, cloud explosive projectiles, concrete attack projectiles and artillery-launched missiles.
This gun is equipped with a new generation of domestically produced APFSDS armor-piercing projectiles, using a tungsten alloy core. Its maximum penetration depth has never been officially announced to the outside world, but judging from the parameters of the exported BTA-2 105mm APFSDS armor-piercing projectile, it can shoot within a range of 2,000 meters.
To penetrate 550mm uniform armor, the self-use model is definitely better, and it is not impossible to achieve a penetration depth of 600mm.
At the same time, the Type 15 tank can also launch artillery-launched missiles with a range of 5,000 meters, which can kill enemy tanks at long distances.
Although the caliber is small, its firepower is impressive and can effectively penetrate the frontal armor of all second-generation tanks and early third-generation tanks (T-90S).
Therefore, the several BPM-2 armored vehicles that White rushed to the front were quickly opened and exploded into big fireworks.
With its superior mobility and ability to hit targets on the move, the 15th light tank immediately maneuvered and moved after firing a shot. After changing positions, it came forward to fire another shot, avoiding the counterattack of many White T-72 tank guns.
White's T-72 tank is also very useless. With its 125mm cannon, it has a relatively long range. It can't move forward even one meter at a distance of about 2,500 meters. It seeks cover on the spot and serves as a fixed fire launch point, providing White with a fixed firepower launch point.
The enemy's mountain infantry provided cover.
At this time, all the infantry on the red side also came out of the air raid shelter, entered the position, and relied on the favorable terrain to launch fire suppression on the infantry on the white side.
The balance of the battle quickly tilted towards the red side.
After fighting for a while, White's casualties were obviously relatively heavy. More than 20 of the light armored BPM-2 infantry fighting vehicles of the entire attacking force had been destroyed. Those who were not hit also hid behind the mounds at the foot of the hillside and were destroyed.
The red team's firepower was so suppressed that it was unable to take the lead.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The red frontline commander found that White did not choose to retreat, and felt very strange.
Ordinarily, with the fight like this, half of this wave of attacks has been lost. Why are you still clinging to the red side's firepower? Why aren't you retreating?
Subsequently, the red side's 96B heavy tank also arrived at the front line. Although the 96 tank does not have the calmness and maneuverability of the 15 type in the plateau area, the heavy tank has the role of a heavy tank after all.
For example, when dealing with the T-72 at longer ranges, a heavy tank like the 96B has a greater advantage in firepower than a 15 light tank.
Although the red side gained the advantage for the time being, they did not dare to take advantage of the victory to attack because the frontline commander discovered that there were still many troops from the white side gathering in the distance.
Looking through a high-power telescope, up and down the hillside and on the valley road in the direction of the White side, there are densely packed armored vehicles and tanks of the White side.
Looking at the quantity, I guess after doing the math, it really makes people feel a little numb.
At least 10 times the strength of your own armor!
Now, the frontline commanders understood why the Joint Staff issued an order to let the troops in the northeastern section hold on. If they hold on, they will win.
When they first received this order, many commanders of the red troops on the front line were still a little dissatisfied. They felt that beating White would not lead to a three-hundred-mile chase?
Stick to it?
Is this the style of the Red Army?
But now that I see it, everyone is convinced.
The intelligence received by the Joint Staff is probably more accurate. White's main force is probably here this time and he plans to fight here.
With such a huge disparity in military strength, being able to hold on is really a win.
After White's surprise attack in Type 15 just now, it also saw that Red's armored forces were weaker and did not dare to move forward to attack.
White's frontline commander was secretly happy, feeling that the superior's deployment was wise. This time he had found the red's weakness. This tactic might really work!
The shame of decades ago may be cleared up this time!
At this time, White's T-90 tank also rushed over panting. Although this heavy tank struggled to move on the plateau, it fell behind. However, part of the area here is an open river valley, and the tank can still move a little.
The T-90 immediately took over the forward position of the original T-72 and launched a strike operation on the red side.
The T-90's 125 mm caliber gun is far superior to the red side in terms of range and armor-piercing power.
Soon, two red side light tanks were hit, and the powerful 125mm armor-piercing bullets also caused a fatal explosion. The red side's position instantly burst into flames.
Although the 15 light tanks have an advantage on the plateau, they are obviously no match for the thick-skinned T-90 in this open valley. Moreover, the range is not as far as the opponent's, and the number of 96B tanks added is not as large as White's.
After receiving the blessing of the T-90, White's morale immediately soared, and the White's mountain troops who had been suppressed in the valley and at the foot of the mountain began to roar and charge again.
