Even though there were armed helicopters in the sky to increase firepower, the continuous emergence of small guerrilla forces put this group of paratroopers in a desperate situation.

The heavy machine gun fire from the armed helicopter could even penetrate thick tree trunks.

It hit the dense branches and swept across the area easily.

The sounds of gunfire could be heard everywhere.

The power of the heavy machine gun is like a weeding sickle, mowing down a area of ​​weeds with a whoosh.

The overgrown tropical rainforest environment affected the effectiveness of aerial firepower.

Coupled with the humid and cloudy weather in the mountains, it is necessary to lower the altitude in order to provide effective firepower support.

Only by lowering the altitude can it become a high-altitude firepower point close to the ground.

But once the altitude is lowered, it is likely to be knocked down by individual weapons.

Or being targeted by guerrilla anti-aircraft guns.

After several shells were fired, the Il-21 attack helicopter had no time to dodge and was hit near the propeller by one shell.

He staggered and fell from mid-air.

"fire! fire!"

The soldiers shouted and directed all their firepower towards the previous position.

The heavy machine gun fired at the area, smashing the weeds and leaves into pieces.

The dense bullets hit like raindrops, like sharp knives, one touch will kill, one touch will hurt.

Guerrilla forces really don't have a good way to deal with low-altitude high-altitude firepower.

The existence of armed helicopters is equivalent to a mobile commanding height, which can hit whatever it points to.

Staring at the ground and shooting wildly.

Anyone who dares to show his head will be hit by a violent storm in the next moment.

After encountering the battle, the remaining air firepower in the rear quickly came up to support and deployed new airborne troops.

Deploy troops based on the combat center.

From one company to a battalion, hundreds of fighter jets were dispatched together.

The Eagle Sauce did demonstrate a new airborne tactic, using the center-blooming strategy and relying on air strike capabilities to open up the situation.

How to describe their combat effectiveness? On a one-on-one level, they do have absolute suppression capabilities.

At the battel level of small units, fierce firepower, and multi-level strike deployment, the monkey's guerrilla forces were defeated.

Eagle-sauce Colonel Harvest is arrogant and complacent.

Notify the ground forces to counterattack and implement the tactics of center blooming.

The enemy's rear has been disrupted. As long as we mobilize troops to push northward, we can easily cut off the enemy's retreat.

But he overlooked two points.

The first point is that the number of the Wolong Army in the rear was ignored, which numbered more than 100,000, although they were all small guerrilla forces.

When they gather together, there can be more than several thousand people.

Although there were not many heavy weapons, they were able to gather a few artillery pieces and some mortars to fire at the area where the paratroopers were fighting.

There was also a small group of elite soldiers who went out alone, holding automatic rifles and choosing opportunities to launch surprise attacks.

When fighting in the jungle, the American soldiers carried M14s that looked like fire sticks, which were heavy and clumsy.

In a sudden encounter, he was attacked by AK47.

In just half a day, more than 30 people were killed or injured.

Helicopters, biplane fighters, and bombers were frequently deployed.

Carpet bombing the ground.

This is the most adept way of fighting for the Eagle Sauce. When in doubt, they resort to carpet bombing.

The war situation was unfavorable, and carpet bombing was carried out.

If the battle is going well, we need to expand our advantage, or use carpet bombing.

After practicing for several years, the only ancestral skill has not been lost.

Aerial bombs and rocket launchers fired downwards.

The rumbling sound continued and the rockets were flying fiercely.

It caused great casualties to the Wolong Army.

The guerrilla forces' counterattack was also very sharp. They sneaked in through the gaps in the bombing and blocked the airborne troops.

One thing everyone knows very well is that the number of airborne troops is not large.

Wave after wave of attacks are enough to defeat them.

In the absence of generational gaps in individual weapons, a country’s strong national power will not have much impact on the local war situation.

More and more soldiers emerged from the jungle, some with wounds, some with burns, and some with explosion injuries.

But everyone's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and they held their weapons and attacked the paratroopers.

Casualties quickly reached triple digits.

The airborne troops are a bit overwhelmed.

Relying on air support, the situation was barely maintained.

Colonel Harvey, who was in charge of the situation, was a little panicked.

"Support, quick support, more support."

The ground forces advanced slowly.

Due to the terrain, many routes are difficult to pass by car.

There were traps, mines, and guerrillas constantly infiltrating to block the way.

It was difficult to reach the designated assistance location for a while.

In the entire combat zone, there was only one airborne battalion fighting alone.

It is worth mentioning that the Eagle Sauce has strong air power.

Helicopters and fighter jets were sent forward without regard for their lives.

Although several helicopters were shot down, several more took off from the rear.

If the situation becomes further unfavorable, we will have to consider using helicopters to evacuate people.

This is the worst case scenario.

What the Eagle Sauce wanted to do next was to draw the sword and surprise everyone with the airdrop tactics.

We cannot give up halfway. No matter what, we must demonstrate strong fighting power.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of time installing B?

People are just like that sometimes.

Got held up.

There is a way to retreat but you cannot retreat, you have to swallow your anger.

In order to support the airborne troops on the front line, there are still two battalions of troops on hand, which must also be airdropped.

These are not professional paratroopers.

It is carried by a transport plane and released after finding a suitable location.

Use transport helicopters to transport companies and platoons to the front line.

The wealthy Eagles are always able to come up with new ideas when it comes to transporting troops.

Looking down from the sky, you can see helicopters flying from behind to the front.

At the risk of being defeated, push the support troops over.

At a huge cost, the airdrop front was stabilized.

The airdrop circle was surrounded by guerrillas and was attacked from all sides.

The offensive force of these troops was insufficient.

If it were replaced by the same number of Brother Long’s troops, let alone the same number, even one-tenth of it would still be tens of thousands of people.

One percent is still several thousand people.

It is enough to destroy just two or three battalions of paratroopers.

The kind where even the ashes can’t be found.

The two sides were in a stalemate, with one side attacking from all sides but failing to take the city.

One side continuously invested in air firepower and used airdropped aid supplies.

Multiple armed helicopters served as high-point fire output, continuously bombarding the ground with rockets.

Armed helicopters are good things, they can provide low-altitude fire support.

The ammunition they carry is also powerful.

It is equivalent to a mobile, low-altitude point-shooting fortress.

From a tactical point of view, the Eagle Sauce does have a crushing posture.

Whether it is air-ground coordination or fire support, it is still at the top level.

However, from the perspective of the center-blooming combat method, the initiative has been greatly lost.

Sending a small force behind enemy lines will lead to a counterattack with dozens of times the force, which is enough to give the Eagle Sauce a headache.

The price paid for this was 11 helicopters destroyed, 1 fighter damaged, and 178 casualties.

618 soldiers of the Wolong Army were killed, and the remaining casualties are unknown.

The Wolong Army, which had been unable to capture the city for a long time, chose to retreat.

Yes, you read that right. With an army of over 100,000, they actually retreated when faced with only three battalions of paratroopers.

They had no way to organize large-scale military cooperation.

We can only deploy troops company by company to fight. Once the number exceeds the battalion or company establishment, we will be unable to succeed.

What a group of talented people.
