With one chasing and the other escaping, the tank battle that Qi Yiming was originally looking forward to evolved into a competition between two generations of Chinese and Soviet tanks in cross-country performance. [. First release] The 78th Tank Division is mainly equipped with T-64, and there are also a few T-80 tanks that are still in a semi-experimental state. However, it is impossible for the T-80 to abandon the T-64 and run on its own, so the overall The speed has been dragged down to the level of T-64.
The T-64, which has a maximum off-road speed of 35 kilometers per hour, is excellent among second-generation tanks, but it is nothing compared to the Type 99 of the third-generation +++. Even with a heavy body of 58 tons, the powerful 99 tank can easily reach a cross-country speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour on the sand. It is only a matter of time before they start running at full speed and catch up with the 78 tank division.
On this open and flat sandy land, these armored vehicles are allowed to drive. The thick sand and dust kicked up by the tanks traveling at high speed allowed the armored troops of the 309th Division to see the direction of the enemy from a long distance away.
But Yamakov is not a completely incompetent commander. The sand and dust exposed their position and can also be used as a bargaining chip for him to retreat.
"It was found that the enemy was in three groups, heading in different directions. Because of the dust cover, it was impossible to tell which group was the main force." Qi Yiming tilted his head, feeling that the enemy was not entirely easy to deal with.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ The three lines of enemy troops now mixed in the thick sand and dust were either divided equally by Yamakov into three lines to confuse the 309th Division's pursuit, or only one line was his main force, and the others were composed of a few tanks using more powerful weapons. Large width and depth, disguised appearance. The purpose is naturally to protect the main force as much as possible and to release as many tanks as possible away from the enemy's pursuit.
But Qi Yiming thought for a moment, then smiled and whispered: "In the face of absolute power, no trick or trick will work!"
Just when Yamakov and his armored soldiers thought they could deceive the squadron and increase their chances of escape. Some strange-looking aircraft appeared on the battlefield at medium and low altitudes.
This is the army¡¯s reconnaissance drone under the jurisdiction of the 309th Division Special Brigade. They are rocket-launched from vehicles and recovered in a net. Their main function is to provide the army with detailed and covert reconnaissance over a wide range. Moreover, these drones generally have equipment such as infrared imaging. Even in a layer of sand and dust, they can determine where the enemy's main force is through heat signals.
"In the middle!" Qi Yiming smiled happily and immediately ordered the tank troops to follow up.
When Yamakov saw the overwhelming smoke and dust behind him getting thicker and thicker, he already knew that the Chinese tanks were running faster than them. There was no way he could just escape back to the main force of the 32nd Army, but Yamakov Unwilling to be discouraged, Kokov quickly picked up the communicator of the radio station and asked his boss Fiskov for help.
"Please immediately send armored and anti-armored troops to support our unit. Our unit is being pursued by a large number of enemy tank units! Repeat, our unit is beingsizzled" Yamakov just said Once again, they found that their communication equipment was suddenly filled with noise, and they were unable to convey their messages to friendly forces at all.
"What's going on?" Yamakov was furious, thinking that the communication soldiers had damaged the vehicle radio.
"Comrade Commander, all the vehicle-mounted radio stations near us are out of service. It must be electromagnetic suppression by the Chinese. I heard that the Homeland Defense Air Force has repeatedly suffered losses from electronic warfare."
It was useless to know the reason. Yamakov could only hope that when the first communication was still open just now, Fiskov had received his signal for help.
The culprit behind all this is the two electronic warfare aircraft modified from Yun-8 flying in the sky - Dianzhan-8f. After Qi Yiming changed the uniforms of the entire army, a series of special aircraft had their own numbers, early warning aircraft: J (air police), patrol and warning aircraft (XJ), anti-submarine aircraft FQ (anti-submarine), electric combat aircraft (DZ), psychological aircraft Fighting aircraft (xz), flying gunships (fp), etc. In fact, most of these aircraft come from the Yunba High-tech Project. For example, the Kongjing-200 is the High-tech No. 5, the anti-submarine-8vi is the High-tech No. 6, and the Xinzhan-8vii is the High-tech No. 7.
On the other hand, there are not many Y-8s equipped by the Air Force on the original platform of medium-sized propeller transport aircraft, and most of them are Y-9s that are optimized based on the KJ-200 platform.
High-tech projects No. 1 to No. 4 can be roughly said to be looking for ways to develop early warning aircraft. After the j-200 platform matures, there is naturally no need to continue production. However, the Air Force still needs a large electronic warfare aircraft that is larger in size, has stronger electronic suppression capabilities and more power than the Electric Flying Leopard, and is mainly used to control electromagnetic hubs on the battlefield. This is why the dz-8f came into being.
On such a large aircraft, there are only 6 passengers, and the remaining space is basically reserved for storing various electronic equipment. When such aircraft appear in the skies of a war zone, unless the enemy has enoughStrong electromagnetic countermeasure capabilities, otherwise you will basically face situations such as communication failure, radar detection failure, active fire control being semi-failed, etc.
The emergence of these two special aircraft is because Qi Yiming has remembered the lesson that the J-10 and IG-23 were victorious but not perfect when there was a shortage of early warning aircraft, ensuring that all aspects of support can be in place at all times. , never rely on the enemy's stupidity.
Since the Homeland Defense Air Force destroyed 33 fighter planes for the second time, the sky on the battlefield belongs to the Chinese. Even if the Air Force wants to launch a hot air balloon or something, it is no longer afraid of any danger. In order to cooperate with the ground troops' encirclement and suppression, the Air Force also mobilized in large numbers. In addition to the two electric fighters, 24 J-10s of the 37th Fighter Division were fully loaded with bombs, and cooperated with the three Leopard B brigades directly under Qi Yiming. Not long after the electric fighters appeared Later, it also entered the war zone sky.
The weapons they carried this time were mainly AR-2 anti-tank missiles and LT-3GPS guided bombs. A medium-sized and a heavy-duty multi-purpose fighter aircraft arbitrarily dropped the missiles and bombs mounted under the wings without any obstruction. It poured on the heads of the Soviet armored forces, especially the ar-2, the "Chinese version of the Maverick missile", which was extremely lethal to the ground armored forces.
Yamakov's scalp was numb and he shouted: "Where are the anti-aircraft missiles? Where are our 212s?" The so-called 212s are NATO code-named sa-6 battlefield anti-aircraft missiles. They were once equipped in large quantities in various motorized infantry and armored divisions in the Soviet Union. There are also some in the 78th Tank Division, and they are the most reliable anti-aircraft weapons that Yamakov can use.
But at this critical moment, the last layer of defense he relied on had no effect at all. The reason is that after the dz-8f appeared on the scene, it obtained the electromagnetic control power. Not only did the fire control radar of these missiles keep jumping and could not lock on the enemy, even if it was launched, it would not be able to scan the enemy's correct position and become a headless fly. .
Qi Yiming dared to let the Air Force throw shit on the head of the 78th Tank Division so blatantly, of course he had considered this. Naturally, the 78th Tank Division also has some anti-aircraft artillery, but the range and shooting height are very limited. The Chinese fighter planes are basically launched 40 kilometers away, and then surround Yamakov's troops and do not get close to the inner circle at all. This kind of caution Yamakov was left with nothing to do.
"Well, for those self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft missile vehicles, etc., knock them out by name, they are an eyesore." Qi Yiming ordered again, and the red alert pilots of the Air Force over there received the instructions directly, and they entered the ground After mode, select those anti-air targets and launch missiles to destroy them quickly.
Such a simple and effective strike completely wiped out the air defense force in Yamakov's hands within ten minutes.
After the air defense force was completely contained, the air force became more unscrupulous, so much so that an air gunboat directly participated in the attack.
?? FP-8x, nicknamed Cloud Fortress, is also improved from the Yun-8. Compared with the same type of US military A-130, although the Cloud Battery is not much larger, its firepower is much more fierce. Each side of its fuselage is equipped with two 30mm six-barreled Gatling cannons and two 100mm low-bore pressure automatic-loading Air Force version artillery.
The two 100-caliber Air Force guns weigh only 1 ton. Unlike the 105-caliber artillery of the US military's A-130, which requires purely manual loading, these two 100-caliber guns can be loaded automatically and produce much less recoil. It's a pity that this thing was built for fun by Qi Yiming, because this aerial gunship system uses quite a lot of advanced technology, including a stronger composite material fuselage, and the recoil is even smaller than the Air Force type 57 gun. Hydraulic retraction of the cannon, automatic loading in the fuselage, etc. If base production is not used, manufacturing one fp-8x is equivalent to manufacturing three or even four A-130s, which is very cost-effective.
Even so, when the Cloud Battery entered the battlefield, it was like a Titan breaking into the war between the dwarves. After the two Gatling cannons started turning, a barrage of depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles swept across the Soviet tanks on the ground. Even though its caliber is only 30mm, its armor-piercing capability is astonishingly strong, and Soviet tanks that do not pay attention to secondary damage always explode after being hit, which in disguise increases the killing effect of the cloud turret.
It is a bit difficult to use two 100-meter guns to fight tanks in the air, but they are still very lethal when firing high-explosive bombs. At such a high altitude, dropping artillery shells can rely on gravity to increase the damage. The fp-8x's left and right bows are especially aimed at those armored personnel carriers and infantry units, creating a trail of victims.
Some struggling armored soldiers climbed to the roof of the vehicle and used their anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot at the FP-8x that was not high in the air. However, they were disappointed to find that these anti-aircraft machine gun bullets hit the fuselage of the cloud turret without even sparks. When it comes out, the seemingly bulky guy seems to be covered with a layer of armor.
¡° However, this also reminded the pilots that they were not absolutely safe. They quickly fired all their shells, and the fp-8x also completed its mission and quickly returned from the war zone. As an aircraft that is relatively easy to be shot down, and it is also an expensive aircraft, QiMing didn't want to add any more victories to the Soviets. .
