Chapter 1171 The treasure at the bottom of the box
Just as they were transitioning to defensive operations, the red frontline commander received a notice from his superiors that an airdrop operation would be carried out in an open area 5 kilometers behind the position in 5 minutes. Please go and receive supplies as soon as possible!
Because the road was attacked by Belarus' long-range missiles, some sections were blown up. After several fierce battles, the ammunition on the front line had fallen below the normal guarantee line. It would take 12 hours to repair the road, but there was still a quarter of an hour ahead.
can not wait.
The northeastern defense zone required by Li Zheng must be defendable. Holding it means victory. Therefore, he ordered the air force to deliver supplies to the front line at all costs.
The Red Air Force quickly made a supply plan, and the logistics, joint logistics and support departments worked together to organize a large amount of ammunition and materials behind the
Airdrop supplies.
When the red side's frontline commander received the notice, he was immediately heartbroken and cheered repeatedly.
After hanging up the call, a transport convoy was immediately dispatched to a predetermined open area to receive airdrop supplies.
In order to ensure a smooth airdrop, while the airdrop was in progress, the Red Army's artillery units began to shell the White Army's troops and temporary airports and other places, suppressing them so that they had no time to care for themselves, and ensuring that they would not be slow to realize that their own forces were in progress.
Logistics supply airdrop operations.
Just as the red frontline commander was nervously waiting for the transport convoy to report to him the result of the successful completion of the final airdrop, an unexpected surprise occurred.
The unexpected reason is that the red team's airdrop was too far forward.
But this is also a helpless move.
If you don't move forward, it is certainly safe to airdrop from dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away.
But that would lose the meaning of emergency supplies.
Frontline troops can send convoys to transport goods hundreds of kilometers away, but they have to pass through bombed-out roads along the way. Even if the round trip takes more than 12 hours, it is meaningless.
During this period, as long as White launches a crazy attack without fear of death, Red's frontline ammunition will still run out and the defense line will still be unable to hold.
Therefore, airdropping 5 kilometers behind the red side's defense line is the most convenient, fastest and most effective way to airdrop. The only disadvantage is that it is unsafe.
However, White has also deployed radar warning equipment behind the front line. If the transport aircraft is airdropped too close to the front line, it will also be within the strike range of the S-400, which will cause great danger.
Regarding the supply plan for this adventure, the Air Force Command also had the mentality of asking for instructions when reporting to Li Zheng, and let the two top commanders Li Zheng and Serenity make the decision.
In fact, it is no wonder that space is so cautious, because if something goes wrong, it means that a large transport aircraft like the Y-20 may be lost.
Li Zheng read the supply plan, talked with Zhen Zhen for a while, and then gave instructions to the Air Force - agreed.
A simple agreement is equivalent to shouldering a heavy responsibility.
The Air Force and joint logistics forces immediately arranged for the implementation of the airdrop supply plan. As expected in the plan, the Y-20 fleet took off from an airport in the
Airdrop the supplies there.
The Belarusian S-400 air defense system deployed about 150 kilometers behind itself also detected the Y-20 fleet.
After analysis, it was confirmed that this was a transport fleet.
They quickly reported the situation, and the White command was very excited.
You know, if the red side actually dares to adopt this airdrop mode, it is simply a matter of death!
It seems that the incident played a certain role in the attack on the roads and railways behind the red side.
According to the S-400 air defense system's maximum interception range of 400 kilometers, the Red side's Y-20 fleet is actually within the White side's strike range.
As long as the S-400 system is used properly, it can hit the red side's transport aircraft group. If these transport aircraft can be shot down, it will not only be a blow to the red side's frontline supply work, but also a serious blow to the red side's morale.
Therefore, the White command ordered the S-400 air defense battalion deployed on the front line to shoot down the Red supply transport aircraft at all costs.
This time White spent a lot of money.
Red also has this system, which is made in Russia. White spent more than five billion dollars to order 5 sets from Purple, but after several years of delay, only 3 were delivered. In order to deal with Red, they only left 5 sets in their own capital.
One set is used for air defense, and two of them are dragged to the front line of red and white confrontation.
From this point, we can see how eager White is to defeat Red, and all the treasures at the bottom of the box have been pulled here.
This is their chance to show off their skills.
Previously, when the red team's drone fleet launched an attack on the white team, the S-400 was silent throughout the whole process. The reason is that this system is almost ineffective against drones. Using it to intercept drones is like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes, and it is difficult to hit them.
Therefore, after receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of the S-400 air defense battalion immediately entered the combat state with full concentration and stared at the radar screen.
According to the instructions from superiors, in order to ensure that most of the red transport aircraft can be hit, they must be allowed to fly within 50 kilometers of the border before launching missile attacks.
A set of S400 can equip an air defense missile battalion. It includes a phased array guidance radar vehicle and 6 missile launch vehicles, as well as a search and indication radar vehicle and a command and control vehicle. Each launch vehicle has four launchers.
In other words, one system can launch 24 missiles in one wave of attack, and two battalions can launch 48 missiles at one time.
This is a very terrifying air strike capability.
In the tense atmosphere, the radar operator of the White side's S-400 air defense battalion finally spotted the Red side's fleet on the screen.
On the launch vehicle, the palms of the control hands were sweaty.
The red fleet was still moving towards the front line, and they seemed not to notice the danger.
"Report! The other side has 4 fighter jets escorting it!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The radar operator has made a new discovery.
"Ignore them, lock them together and shoot them down together! Once they get within 50 kilometers, start attacking immediately!"
"yes!"
The launch tubes of the two S-400 air defense battalion launch vehicles were all erected. As long as the launch button was pressed lightly, the missiles would fly towards those daring transport aircraft groups at high speed.
Just as the red fleet was getting closer and closer to the border, the commander of the white S-400 missile battalion suddenly had a strange thought flash in his mind——
"It doesn't make sense? Don't they know that we have deployed S-400s here?"
In his opinion, the red side is not stupid.
"Entering the strike range!"
His subordinate's report interrupted his thoughts.
"5——4——"
The commander began to count down.
Suddenly, those fighter jets disappeared from the radar screen.
Immediately after losing sight of the camera, the screen flashed again.
Then the screen became normal.
Then there was another flash.
After repeating it several times, suddenly countless snowflake points appeared on the screen, and it was impossible to distinguish which point was the aircraft and which point was the interference point.
"We are being disturbed!"
"Damn it! I knew it wasn't that simple!"
The commander finally understood that there was an electronic jammer hidden in the red team's fleet!
No wonder they dare to come so arrogantly, it turns out they were prepared!
"No matter how many there are, try to find the tracking data and launch it immediately!"
The commander couldn't care less. If he waited any longer, the interference from the red side would be even greater.
As many points as you can see, lock on as many as possible and try to shoot out the missiles.
If you can't annihilate them all, you have to at least shoot down one or two, right?
Thick smoke billowed from the position of the S-400 air defense battalion, missiles soared into the sky, and thick dust rose from the ground, blocking the sky and the sun.
Seeing that all the missiles were launched, the commander of the air defense battalion breathed a sigh of relief.
But what he didn't know was that more terrible consequences were waiting for them.
The transport aircraft group of the red side was their prey before, but now, they became the prey of the red side.
