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 party must have high-altitude drone reconnaissance, he already knew that the arrival of the other party's combat aircraft was just a matter of time.
However, he did not expect that the other party 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 do not 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 other side 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 can't 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 at a very small angle to the second-floor window.
"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.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly took two steps outward and aimed 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.
"Gang Li! Follow us! Establish a firepower point!"
"receive!"
After receiving the order, Gang Li immediately ran towards Chen Chen's location. He did not pause at all, nor was he alert at all, he just ran forward with all his heart.
Chen Chen's gun was pointed behind him. The moment an enemy appeared, the AK-74M's crosshair had already locked onto the opponent's head.
"boom!"
An extremely simple burst shot, and the enemy 30 meters away was shot in the head.
At this time, Li Bang finally joined Chen Chen and immediately took his place.
"Cover me and keep pushing!"
"clear!"
Chen Chen continued to advance towards the building ahead, and at this time, the Li Gang had already picked up the general machine gun that fell on the ground.
But there were not many bullets left in the gun chamber.
From beginning to end, neither of them entered the building.
This is not only for efficiency reasons, but more importantly, for safety reasons.
Who knows if I will step on a booby trap after opening the door?
Instead of betting on this probability, it is better to control the peripherals!
The gunshots throughout the village became more intensive, but also shorter.
When Chen Chen advanced to 20 meters in front of Li Gang, Lin He, who was advancing step by step, took over the covering position.
Not all enemies have been cleared cleanly, but all potential firepower points have been controlled.
In the center of the battlefield, only a courtyard surrounded by high walls remained. From Chen Chen's perspective, at least two heavy machine guns were deployed on the roofs of the buildings in the courtyard!
That's probably where the target is. If they want to attack, the Dongfeng Corps will definitely pay heavy casualties.
"Plane! Where is my plane?!"
Chen Chen shouted on the radio, and the next second, Xia Xing's reply came.
"Returning."
"Turn back?? Are you kidding?!"
Chen Chen asked in shock.
"What's going on? Why turn back?!"
"Tabka Airport suffered a stand-off cruise missile attack!"
Xia Xing replied briefly, while Chen Chen's brows immediately furrowed.
Standoff cruise missile.
Without a doubt, it must be Scarp!
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.
Ultra-long range, ultra-low penetration height, and ultra-precise guidance system.
The combination of a series of cutting-edge technologies is indeed beyond what the Syrian military or the Maozi who "did not fully intervene" can handle!
Once it hits, its double armor-piercing warhead will quickly destroy all fixed targets. No matter it is an airport runway, a fortress, a bridge, or other solid fortifications, it is almost impossible to withstand the strike of this missile!
Therefore, when Xia Xing mentioned "off-zone cruise missiles", Chen Chen's first thought was that the airport was finished.
But this is not just because of the lethality of this missile;
This missile is actually a symbolic deterrent.
Every time it is launched, it means that France has fully intervened in a certain incident, and that their attack and retaliation methods are about to escalate.
Even if Mao Zi really wants to fight, they must think again in the face of such a warning.
This is not just a problem of ability, but has risen to a zz problem.
From this perspective, the Su-27's turnaround is indeed understandable.
No matter what, they must prioritize the safety of the airport.
If the airport really suffers a large-scale attack, the two Su-27s in the air are likely to be their only countermeasures before the attack is over.——
By the way, what are the French guys doing? !
The things they do can even be said to be more complicated than those in the United States.
Chen Chen took a deep breath and then continued:
"Let the Russian side confirm the situation as soon as possible and provide support as soon as possible."
"We still have French Rafales above us, but they are equipped with ground attack weapons."
"As long as the Su-27 can come over and force them back, we can still fight!"
"I understand, we are communicating!"
After finishing his words, Chen Chen looked towards 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 once again fell into a stalemate.
On the other side, Suhail's Tiger Corps was completely at a disadvantage after suffering continuous attacks from Rafale fighter jets.
Their number was not too large to begin with, with less than 500 people dispatched. In the past half hour, they had already lost more than 50 people, and the amount of equipment they had lost was even more astonishing.
There is no way for the remaining 450 to take advantage of the extrajudicial forces. The gap in technical and tactical levels is clearly reflected at this moment. Even if the superiority of the extrajudicial equipment in equipment is not taken into account, the battle damage of both sides can be reached by just shooting with rifles. 1 to 3 or more!
If this continues, Suhail's Tiger Corps may really be completely swallowed up in this battle.
Chronic death.
What's worse is that even if you want to withdraw now, I'm afraid you won't be able to withdraw.
What other power do you have that you can 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!"
