Chapter 403 Synthesis Exercise

The characteristic of the Soviet Union is the artillery doctrine! Before the attack began, the artillery preparation was quite sufficient. It can be said that after the artillery fire, almost all the target positions had been razed to the ground. The follow-up troops were actually only used to deal with sporadic resistance.

Attack, attack! After receiving the order from their superiors, the 4th Armored Division of the First Armored Battalion started all the tanks in motion!

The T-80 tank rushing in the front had its engine emitting black smoke and roaring as its tracks kicked up dust two meters high.

The triangular assault camp quickly flattened the opposite position and attacked in depth, while the BMP infantry fighting vehicles following behind were also rushing forward.

Forward, forward! Nothing can survive before the Soviet armored torrent!

A rumbling sound was heard overhead, and the Mi-24 attack helicopter unit passed the tanks in the front and launched an attack forward.

T-80 tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, self-propelled anti-aircraft missiles, and infantry fighting vehicles form a powerful metal torrent and advance forward!

Among the helicopters flying overhead, one was carrying a camera, and the footage was continuously transmitted back to the rear command center and onto the television. The viewers were all shocked by the footage.

What kind of scene is it to see tens of thousands of tanks charging? Even God would tremble!

The reporters watched the scene excitedly, and the faces of the military attachés gradually changed. Could their troops withstand the Soviet armored cluster? No, they couldn't! It could be said that even without the Soviet tank attack, the Soviet artillery fire before the attack was enough to make their troops lose their combat effectiveness!

In this world, if you ask who is the most powerful at sea, it is undoubtedly the United States, but if you ask who is the most powerful on land, it is definitely the Soviet Union! No army can stop the Soviet Union's armored torrent on the ground, not even the US army!

The battle continues.

Suddenly, the scene switched and a huge number of transport planes appeared.

"Il-76, Il-76!" As a familiar military attaché, Major General George recognized these aircraft at a glance. They were all heavy transport aircraft with a take-off weight of 200 tons that were finalized and put into service by the Soviet Union in 1975!

What are these large transport planes used for?

At this moment, the camera lens could see that the flat-bed tailgate at the rear of the cabin opened, and a paratrooper vehicle was pushed out from inside, slowly sliding backwards, and then leaving the flat-bed tailgate!

Eight white parachutes appeared in the sky, and the paratrooper vehicle began to land in the air!

Then, parachutes appeared one after another, three paratrooper vehicles and hundreds of paratroopers descended from the sky!

Paratroopers! They are a combat force that can appear anywhere at any time. Through the transportation of transport planes, they can break into the enemy's rear and open up a second battlefield!

On the vast plains of Western Europe, paratroopers have almost no use. It is obvious that the assault of these paratroopers is in preparation for landing in Great Britain!

The Soviet military force is extremely powerful!

The rolling armored torrent advanced, with armed helicopters and transport planes overhead, and at the same time, the battle began in another direction!

On the Baltic Sea, the sea surface was relatively calm, with waves less than half a meter high. Warships weighing several thousand tons were hardly shaking, and the aircraft carrier weighing tens of thousands of tons surrounded by a dozen warships was as stable as a rock at this time.

Minsk heavy aircraft carrier cruiser!

Since major changes are no longer possible, the Minsk's front deck is still filled with large anti-ship missiles, while the angled deck on the side is different from that in history and now has a leap deck.

For a maritime formation, if it wants to ensure combat safety at sea, it needs to have sufficient air superiority, and all of this can only be achieved by carrier-based fighter jets!

At the take-off position, the pilot, Captain Grishin, looked at the gestures of the commander on the deck. The two engines had been ignited and all the control surfaces were in good condition!

"Take off!" As the command to take off came from the headset, he released the brakes and turned on the afterburner. The two RD33 engines at the tail burst out a powerful thrust of 160 kilonewtons. The wings were straight and the lift coefficient reached the maximum. As the acceleration continued, Grishin could feel that the fighter plane was ready to take off! As he rushed to the takeoff deck, all he saw was the sky!

The MiG-23K carrier-based aircraft took off easily from the Minsk, with heavy bombs hanging under its wings. The purpose of their participation in this exercise was to drop the bombs they were carrying under ground guidance!

"The 12th Tank Regiment of the 4th Armored Division has encountered enemy ambush, calling for air support, calling for air support!" During the charge, the commander of the 12th Tank Regiment shouted on the radio, and at the same time, transmitted his own coordinates to the rear through the information system.

Due to problems in communication between the services, these messages were conveyed through the headquarters, but the real-time coordinates of the 12th Tank Regiment had been automatically transmitted through the system.

Three minutes later, there was a roar overhead, and two MiG-23K fighters loaded with bombs flew into the sky!

"Look, what is that?" Joseph shouted. The observation area was just in a position where he could see the fighter plane over there! The variable swept wing and air intakes on both sides, from the nose, should be very similar to the MiG-23, but the tail is a twin-engine!

"MiG-23K, a Soviet carrier-based fighter!" Major General George said, "These two planes should have taken off from the Soviet Minsk! The Baltic Fleet is participating in this military exercise!"

The carrier-based aircraft on the Minsk aircraft carrier came from the Baltic Sea! The people watching were instantly silent.

In the past, when the Soviets were building heavy aircraft carriers, the West was extremely contemptuous. The Soviets went to extremes and advocated the theory that missiles were omnipotent, thinking that missiles could replace everything. Although they later built aircraft carriers, the Yak-38 blacksmith was a pure chicken rib.

Now, the Soviets have also begun to transform. The Soviet Minsk can take off and land aircraft of the same level as the American Tomcat! Moreover, this aircraft not only has outstanding air combat capabilities, but also has outstanding ground attack capabilities! Looking at the mounts below, it should be similar to our own Tornado fighter!

The English Channel could not stop the Soviet attack because the Soviets had a powerful navy!

This Soviet exercise was a cross-service joint exercise. The tank troops attacking on land could call on the navy's carrier-based fighter jets to drop bombs. This was unthinkable before!
