Chapter 912 This road is blocked!
"But our people have lost contact with the two positions above. Considering the air strikes ahead, the situation may not be optimistic," his deputy reminded.

"They should be fighting with the Dong-Da people and have no time to respond to your calls. Order the helicopter to carry the troops up!"

The helicopter is their biggest reliance here. With this thing, they can finally retain high maneuverability.

If Gao Zhendong were here, he would feel that this scene was familiar. In the original timeline, Zang San relied on helicopters to replenish troops and saved the No. 7 position. At least until they completely fled, this position was in their hands.

But this time, things might not be so easy.

The battle was in full swing. In fact, when many of our annihilation battles really reached the final offensive, the progress was very fast. Even those who were familiar with our military history were confused and uncomfortable when they saw many security battles and tug-of-wars in the 21st century. They always felt that these people were fighting for something. It would be fine if the battle lines were tug-of-war, but these people were fighting vigorously. However, after many days, it seemed that there was no change in the progress.

Of course, there are various reasons for this, and some things are hard to explain.

For Zang San, the situation collapsed very quickly, and the solid support point could not even hold out for a few minutes.

"There is a bunker ahead. It is very large and built based on the terrain. It is very strong." A soldier crawled back from a position and reported to the platoon leader.

"No reconnaissance before the war?"

"No, this bunker was built very cunningly. When you look down from the sky, it is blocked by rocks and cannot be seen at all. The entrance is on the other side of the mountain, so you can't even imagine there is a bunker here. Just now, when our comrades passed under it, they suddenly opened fire, causing some casualties to us."

"You can't do anything with the guy you have?"

"I've tried it, but it doesn't work. It's very solid, and the indentation is a bit deep. I fired several rounds of 61mm fire and anti-tank missiles, but it revived after a pause. There may be many enemies inside, and they can be replenished quickly. And it's mainly due to the terrain. People can't get close to it, otherwise they could have been set on fire with a flamethrower. Do you want to call the comrades from the firepower platoon to suppress it, and I'll take a few people to go around and set it on fire?"

"No need, call the comrades from the reconnaissance squad and ask them to come over and handle it."

If there is no other way, then the method the soldier just mentioned is the best solution, flamethrower, blasting tube, and explosive pack.

But now that there are other ways, our comrades don’t mind giving it a try. It doesn’t cost much anyway.

After a while, an Attack-5 dropped the last laser-guided bomb he was carrying 10 kilometers away, turned around and flew away. He was going to restock his ammunition.

Under the guidance of the comrades of the ground reconnaissance squad, this laser-guided bomb flew obliquely towards the bunker. Under the watchful eyes of the comrades, the bunker was blown down with a loud bang.

Originally, the protruding rock above the bunker was its protector, but now it has become a ghost that takes its life, directly submerging the bunker in mud and rocks.

Facing 61 fire and anti-tank missiles, it seems indestructible, but facing a 250kg bomb, it is just a hairy crab shell, which looks hard but can be exploded by a strong kick.

Comrades, don’t care whether the enemies inside are dead or alive, as long as you don’t block my way, just continue to move forward quickly.

The comrades on position No. 7 are cleaning the battlefield and repairing fortifications.

"Helicopter!" A comrade in charge of alert suddenly turned around and shouted to the busy deputy company commander.

The deputy company commander put down what he was doing and walked to the edge of the cliff. From afar, he saw three helicopters flying from the south.

"There must be enemies in this direction!" Even the helicopters on the battlefield today are enemies, so we didn't arrange for helicopters to enter. Now the number of helicopters in Weinan is limited and very valuable. They are mainly used for transportation. If our planes are not shot down, we will not put helicopters in the combat area.

However, the air defense force of this area is completely incapable of shooting down our aircraft.

"Call Peregrine 11 to shoot them down?" the reinforced platoon leader suggested. They had never forgotten that above the battle zone, an Attack-11 attack aircraft with the call sign Peregrine 5 was on standby to serve them at any time.

This commanding height is very important, so we have naturally made full preparations.

"Call Peregrine 11, and we should not stop either, air defense team!" It takes a long time for Peregrine 11 to receive the information, descend, search, and attack, so it might not be in time.

At the same time, although the altitude here is more than 3000 meters, in fact, minus the height of the plateau, flying here is already low. It is still a little troublesome for fixed-wing aircraft to attack helicopters at this altitude. There is no problem with its own safety, but the timing of the attack is not easy to grasp.

The anti-aircraft team, who had been itching to get their hands dirty, ran over and were immediately delighted when they saw the three helicopters.

To be honest, from the second stage to now, all the comrades in charge of air defense, whether in the east or west section, seemed to have nothing to do, just running along. Unfortunately, the things they had in their hands were not light, so they could not help their comrades reduce their burden, and their small pistols could not participate in the battle, which made them feel very frustrated and itchy.

Now that they are finally alive, they are very happy.

Just as they pulled out the IFF antenna and then the sight, we still have some combat aircraft in this area, so we can't be careless with this thing. Just as they were connecting the power, a missile with white smoke was shot down from the sky, and an enemy helicopter exploded on the spot.

This missile, which has not even left its powered range, is not a small one like the Changying-62. It is a Lei Dian-3 weighing dozens of kilograms!

Back to a few minutes ago, the weapon operator of Peregrine 5, which was cruising near positions 6, 7 and 11, suddenly called out to the pilot.

"Lao Luo, look at the thermal imager display, are those three things helicopters?"

The helicopter of Zang San was camouflaged. Looking from the sky, it was many kilometers away and it was not easy to spot with the naked eye, even with a white light channel.

But in the thermal imager channel, they have nowhere to hide, the engine is just too bright!
"It should be. We have a helicopter in this area?"

The weapon operator operated the white light channel, zoomed in on the enemy aircraft and took a closer look: "No, this is an enemy aircraft. I can see the emblem."

"Looking at their direction, they should be heading towards our 567th position. Find a way to shoot them down!"

"Let me ask the command." The weapon operator contacted the joint land and air command and received the reply that there were no helicopters in that area and they could attack without worry.

The two comrades immediately became excited. They were originally fighting against enemies on the ground, but they didn't expect that they could also fight against enemies in the air. It was so cool!
Use machine guns? Obviously not appropriate. The current Peregrine 11 is fully armed. Descenting to low altitude with this bulky equipment to compete with enemy aircraft? That's obviously crazy, especially since it's a helicopter.

But the pilots had a solution. In addition to the bombs, they also had two Thunderbolt-3s on the light load points!

This is for self-defense. Although the enemy's air force was beaten so badly that they dared not even show their heads, it is better to mount the necessary self-defense weapons just in case. Anyway, compared with other ground-to-ground weapons, the Thunder-3 is as light as a feather.

Let's consider everything carefully and not gamble on probability with the enemy.

The Gong-5 has not yet been equipped with a radar, and its matching radar is still under development, but it has an optical sight that can be linked with the Lei Dian-3!

Even as long as the distance is sufficient, the sight can aim without changing its flight attitude. The sighting system of the laser-guided bomb can rotate to a certain angle. Combined with the ridiculous off-axis launch angle of the Thunder-3, the Gong-5 can do its job while flying level.

"There are only two, use them sparingly." The weapon operator said with a smile.

He locked onto an enemy plane and fired only one Raiden-3.

Facts have proved that this latest weapon is indeed very reliable. After making a big turn in the air, it disintegrated an enemy helicopter in the air like a hawk swooping down on its prey.

Compared with ground-to-ground weapons, you can say I am light, but compared with portable air defense missiles, please call me a professional air-to-air missile!

The comrades at position No. 7 stared at the scene in the distance in amazement. Hey, is there anyone who wants to grab the job?

"Hurry up, hurry up, the comrades in the air should have spotted the enemy plane a long time ago, move quickly, otherwise we will have no chance."

It’s time to grab the kill. It’s time to grab the kill.

At this time, the enemies in the remaining two helicopters in the air were terrified.

Only then did they remember why their own air force had never appeared on the battlefield. Didn’t they have any idea?

"Descend! Descend!" This is the classic tactic used by helicopters to deal with fixed-wing fighters: descending altitude.

From the perspective of low-altitude maneuverability and countering fixed-wing aircraft radar, this is the only optimal solution for helicopters.

This is a bit like what was said on the Internet later: "Bring the opponent's IQ to your level, and then use your rich experience to defeat the opponent!".

In the eyes of the No. 7 position, the enemy, which was originally flying higher than themselves, quickly descended and even flew lower than themselves. They went from shooting upward to looking down, which made the comrades in the air defense group very happy.

Why is it so considerate? The anti-interference capability of portable air defense missiles is far inferior to that of the Thunderbolt-3. Without the interference of the sun in the sky, the hit rate has gone up. The sun in winter is still the sun, and its interference capability is even stronger.

The enemy, who had just descended in altitude and were still in shock, were desperately flying towards Position No. 7. That was their only way to survive, and there was only a helipad nearby.

At this moment, a thin white line flew straight in front of them and hit a helicopter head-on amid the enemy's desperate and panicked shouts.
