Chapter 533 Beyond Visual Range Attack

The French arrived before the Russians, which was not unexpected to Chen Chen.

After all, after confirming that the other side must have high-altitude drone reconnaissance, he already knew that the arrival of the other side's combat aircraft was just a matter of time.

However, he did not expect that the other side would send Rafale series fighters.

The reason is very simple. According to the historical trend of the previous life, at this point in time, France should only be able to mobilize fighters from Jordan or the UAE airport in the Middle East, and these two bases have no Rafale, only the Mirage-2000 that has not been eliminated!

According to this logic, the Rafale could not have taken off from the Middle East.

Their only source is Egypt.

This means that France's action not only affected the balance of power in the Middle East, but also involved North Africa.

The Egyptian military was at least aware that the Rafale deployed in Egypt was going to take off, even if it was not tacitly agreed.

The situation became more complicated. If France really didn't know about the operation in advance, it would be a big deal.

But of course, Chen Chen didn't have time to think about these things now, because before the Rafale fighter appeared above his head, the first A2SM precision-guided missile had already fallen on its target!

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, and the Tiger Corps' position, which had been stable, was instantly torn apart. A T-62 tank that had just arrived was also immediately blown to pieces!

Looking at the flames rising in the distance, Chen Chen was stunned.

Using missiles to attack T-62, intuitively, it doesn't feel much different from using missiles to attack tractors.

You can't say how stupid it is.

But if you say it's a waste, it's definitely a waste.

However, this is also the only high-value target that the Rafale can find, because his next precision-guided bomb actually directly aimed at the machine gun pickup truck of the Dongfeng Corps that had been parked outside the village!

The explosion sounded again, and the pickup truck was destroyed without any surprise, but in fact, there was no one on it.

The bullets have been used up. The Dongfeng Corps has already entered the stage of close combat with the black troops. What's the point of you going back to shoot my car?

Without caring about so much, Chen Chen immediately ordered to intensify the encirclement and offensive against the black troops.

He must take advantage of this short window of confrontation between the Tiger Corps and the Outlaw Corps to complete his goal. Only by completely annihilating the black troops can the Dongfeng Corps have a chance of survival!

"Smoke bombs cover, prepare to shrink the encirclement!"

"Pay attention to ammunition management, and don't stop fire suppression!"

At this time, more than 40 members of the black troops have been besieged by the Dongfeng Corps in a small building on the east side of the village. The convoy that was ready to evacuate was destroyed by two consecutive rockets. In the case of being unable to break through quickly, they can only switch to shrinking defense.

The situation is developing in a direction that is favorable to the Dongfeng Corps, but the problem is that the Dongfeng Corps is almost out of ammunition and food.

The machine gun bullets have been used up, and the combatants carry less than half a base of ammunition on average. If the battle cannot be ended quickly, Chen Chen can only watch the opponent rush out of the encirclement, and then face the next possible enemy with bare hands!

Killing efficiency has become the most important factor, and in order to ensure killing efficiency, Chen Chen has to adopt an extremely risky strategy.

Shrink the encirclement, shorten the distance of the battle, exchange casualties for casualties, and use the fastest speed to penetrate the enemy!

"Li Bang, follow me!"

"The machine gun firepower point on the second floor on the left, kill him!"

Crouching behind a low wall, Chen Chen threw a smoke bomb to the position of the machine gun firepower point with his back.

The smoke did not block the machine gunner's vision, but completely attracted its firepower.

The continuous short bursts of bullets continued to penetrate the smoke. Chen Chen's little trick really worked. At the moment when the opponent's machine gunner's sight was attracted, he threw the second smoke bomb forward.

This throwing method can not only ensure that the assault path is completely covered by smoke, but also prevent the opponent from immediately suppressing the firepower after discovering the starting throwing point of the smoke bomb, thus ensuring their own safety to a greater extent.

You know, the low wall can block infrared rays and visible light, but it cannot block large-caliber machine gun bullets!

A few seconds later, the smoke spread out. Without any hesitation, Chen Chen followed Li Bang and climbed over the low wall, and then quickly moved towards the firing point.

This was a standard fortress point capture attack, and Chen Chen and Li Bang had practiced this kind of attack cooperation countless times.

At that time, they were even borrowing the camp in Chaisli.

The two people's movements were extremely smooth, advancing, pausing, looking for cover, and clearing peripheral targets.

Li Bang's round of firepower output attracted the enemy machine gunner's sight. Under his cover, Chen Chen successfully advanced to the bottom of the machine gun firing point, then took out a grenade and threw it to the second-floor window at a very small angle.

"Boom!"

The small firecracker exploded the moment it hit the windowsill, shrapnel and brick fragments flew everywhere, Chen Chen felt a chill on the side of his face, and blood dripped instantly.

The skin on his cheekbone had been completely cut open, and the wound was a little scary when he touched it casually.

But fortunately, such an injury did not affect his movements at all.

At the moment when the machine gunner on the second floor fell because of the unstable center of gravity, Chen Chen's AK-74M almost fired at his forehead.

Then, he quickly took two steps out and threw the second cannon at the window.

This time, the grenade fell deeper into the window.

With a round of explosions, the machine gun fire point was completely destroyed.

"Li Bang! Follow up! Establish a fire point!"

"Got it!"

Li Bang, who received the order, immediately ran to Chen Chen's position. He did not stop at all, nor did he have any vigilance. He just ran forward with one mind.

Chen Chen pointed his gun behind him. At the moment an enemy showed up, the AK-74M's sight had already locked the enemy's head.

"Bang!"

A simple burst of fire, the enemy 30 meters away was shot in the head.

At this time, Li Bang finally joined Chen Chen and immediately took over his position.

"Cover me, keep moving forward!"

"Got it!"

Chen Chen continued to move forward towards the building in front, and at this time Li Bang had picked up the general machine gun that fell on the ground.

But there were not many bullets left in the gun chamber.

From the beginning to the end, neither of them entered the building.

This was not only for efficiency considerations, but more importantly, for safety.

Who knows if you will step on a booby trap after opening the door?

Rather than betting on this probability, it is better to do a good job of peripheral control!

The gunshots in the entire village became more and more dense, but also shorter and shorter.

When Chen Chen advanced to 20 meters in front of Li Bang, Lin He, who was advancing in echelons, just took over the cover position.

Not all enemies were cleaned up, but all potential firepower points have been controlled.

In the center of the battlefield, there was only a courtyard surrounded by high walls. From Chen Chen's perspective, there were at least two heavy machine guns deployed on the roof of the building in this courtyard!

There is a high possibility that the target is there. If they want to get in, the Dongfeng Corps will suffer heavy casualties.

"Plane! Where is my plane?!"

Chen Chen shouted on the radio, and the next second, Xia Xing's reply came.

"Returning."

"Return?? Are you kidding?!"

Chen Chen asked in shock.

"What's going on? Why do you want to turn back?!"

"Tabka Airport was attacked by a standoff cruise missile!"

Xia Xing replied briefly, and Chen Chen's brows immediately frowned.

Standoff cruise missile.

Without a doubt, it must be Scap!

This cruise missile, called Storm Shadow, can be said to be the pride of Europe, and has even been regarded as an upgraded version of the Tomahawk missile for a long time.

Super long range, super low penetration altitude, super precise guidance system.

A series of cutting-edge technologies are integrated into one, which is indeed not something that the Syrian military or the "non-comprehensive intervention" Russians can handle!

Once it hits, its double armor-piercing warhead will quickly destroy all fixed targets, whether you are an airport runway, a fortress, a bridge, or other fortifications, almost can't withstand the attack of this missile!

So, the moment Xia Xing mentioned "standoff cruise missile", Chen Chen's first thought was that the airport was finished.

But this is not only because of the lethality of this missile, but more importantly,

this missile is actually a symbolic deterrent.

Every time it is launched, it means that France has fully intervened in a certain incident, and their means of attack and retaliation are about to escalate.

Even if the Russians really want to fight, they must think twice in the face of such a warning.

This is not just a problem of ability, but has risen to a problem of zz.

From this perspective, the return of the Su-27 is indeed understandable.

In any case, they must prioritize the safety of the airport.

In case the airport is really attacked on a large scale, these two Su-27s in the air are likely to be their only means of counterattack before the end of the attack.——

By the way, what are the French doing? !

These things they do can even be said to be more fancy than the old Americans

Chen Chen took a deep breath and continued:

"Let the Russian side confirm the situation as soon as possible and provide support as soon as possible."

"There are still French Rafales above our heads, but they are equipped with ground attack weapons."

"As long as the Su-27 can rush over and force them back, we can still fight!"

"I understand, communicating!"

After the voice fell, Chen Chen looked at the center of the battlefield again.

At this time, most of the black army militants had retreated into the last fortress. The Dongfeng Corps, which lacked explosives, could hardly fight hard, and the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

On the other side, Suhail's Tiger Corps was completely at a disadvantage after suffering continuous attacks from Rafale fighters.

Their number was not too large to begin with, and there were only less than 500 people in total. In the past half hour, they had lost more than 50 people, and the loss of equipment was even more shocking.

The remaining 450 had no way to take advantage of the outsiders. The gap in technical and tactical levels was fully reflected at this moment. Even if the equipment advantage of the outsiders was not taken into account, the battle losses of both sides could reach more than 1 to 3 just by rifle shooting!

If this continued, Suhail's Tiger Corps might really be completely swallowed up in this battle.

Chronic death.

What's worse is that even if they want to withdraw now, they may not be able to do so.

What power can they use?

It must be able to arrive in a short time, must be able to accurately destroy the target, and must be able to bring a strong enough deterrent to the French army.

Chen Chen's brain was working fast, but for a moment, he couldn't think of any solution.

The time was too short, the incident happened too suddenly, and the preparation was too hasty.

This is not a lesson, but it is indeed an inevitable "headwind" in a battle.

"What other equipment do you have!?"

Chen Chen shouted and asked.

"No! I can't use it!"

The radio came with Bai Gou's slightly anxious reply, and then he continued:

"We have to find a way to rush! I'll find a car and rush over with the accelerator pressed to the ground!"

"I can't get through!"

Chen Chen immediately denied it because he had seen the sand pile at the main gate of the courtyard.

If he rushed over rashly, it would be useless except for wasting ammunition and lives.

We must rely on fighter jets, but Su-27

Wait.

The straight-line distance from his location to Tabka Air Force Base is only 100 kilometers.

This distance is completely within the detection range of the N001 radar and the range of the AA-10 air-to-air missile!

Can't they just fire two missiles here? !

Chen Chen immediately became alert, but before he could shout to the radio, one of the two Rafale fighters that were still looking for fighters and conducting air strikes suddenly exploded above his head.

Immediately afterwards, there was a ball of sparks higher in the sky.

The dazzling flames were fleeting in the air, leaving only tiny fragments dragging smoke and dust and falling continuously.

The missile hit the Rafale, this is the true form of modern air combat.

What dogfight, what tail biting, what scalpel

does not exist.

A hundred kilometers away, the beyond-visual-range strike after the radar detection is the real killer!

"Exploded!"

The excited voice of the white dog came from the radio, and the moment the fighter crashed, the whole battle situation also underwent a strange change.

The offensive of the Fawai mercenaries confronting the Tiger Corps suddenly became "slow" and even "hesitant" visibly. Suhail seized the opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack!

Those desperate soldiers rushed to the temporary position built by Fawai as if they were determined to die, while their enemies lost the confidence to continue the confrontation and began to retreat step by step under the cover of armored vehicles.

At the same time, the defense of the black army was also shaken. Some people tried to rush out of the courtyard and were shot by the long-awaited Dongfeng Corps sniper.

Chen Chen was very excited. He knew that something had changed.

Fawai was going to withdraw.

They were going to give up this black army!

"Stop them!"

"Don't let them run!"

Chen Chen ordered loudly.

And at the moment his voice fell, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

A missile fell from the sky and completely blew the entire building into powder!

The long-awaited air support finally came.

Chen Chen let out a long sigh, then said:

"Push forward."

"Prepare to finish!"
