: Air attack on the 2nd Tianzhu Mountain Division
There is a reason why Terrell is so arrogant.
The 2nd Mountain Division under his command has 15,000 combat personnel and 8,000 support personnel. Together with more than 3,700 people from the third regiment of the Gurkha Rifles, his total force exceeds two Sixteen thousand people.
Moreover, these 26,000 people are all troops who are good at mountain and jungle warfare. They have been stationed in the Assam region for a long time, and they have occupied the terrain of the Chindwin River and the jungle mountains.
The Dibrugarh military base more than 60 kilometers away in the rear and the air force can support them at any time.
Tianzhu’s army was trained from the British. Each infantry battalion has more than 900 people, the infantry brigade has more than 3,000 people, and the infantry division has more than 23,000 people.
The Gurkha Rifles are also a well-known fighting nation in South Asia. When the British colonial rule in Tianzhu, they recruited Gurkhas to form mountain divisions and special divisions.
Even now, there are thousands of Gurkhas serving in the British mercenary regiments.
“Report to the division commander! The artillery brigade has been deployed! The air defense regiment has been deployed!” At this time, an officer came to Terrell and Dedo and reported to them the latest situation of the troops.
As a mountain infantry stationed in the Assam region for a long period of time, the 2nd Mountain Division has an artillery brigade equipped with thirty-six 105mm howitzers and eighteen 155mm howitzers. Howitzer.
The air defense weapons they equip are mainly for low-altitude defense.
It is not equipped with tanks, but mainly BMP tracked infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles.
Just when Terrell was full of confidence.
Eighteen MiG-29 fighter jets of the Qin Air Force are flying at low altitude.
“This is the commander of the Fifth Fighter Group. All units are reporting flight conditions!” In a MiG-29 fighter jet, Su Jing, the captain in charge of the air strike, turned on the communicator and contacted his teammates.
Prior to this, fifteen MiG-29 fighter jets from the Fifth Fighter Group flew at low altitude along the mountains, leaving a circle and specifically leaping from the vast eastern mountains in the Pansong area.
Radio silence was maintained along the way, and it was not until they almost reached the Pansong area that the captain turned on the radio communication.
“This is the 13th Squadron, flying normally, waiting for orders!”
“This is the 14th Squadron, flying normally, waiting for orders!”
“This is the 15th Squadron, flying normally, waiting for orders!”
After each unit reported, Su Jing began to arrange attack targets.
“Each squadron pays attention to receiving target coordinates sent by the military reconnaissance satellite department.”
“The 13th Squadron, attack the Tianzhu army’s communication target!”
“The 14th Squadron, attack the armored targets of the Tianzhu Army!”
“The 15th Squadron, attack the artillery and air defense targets of the Tianzhu Army!”
“The 13th Squadron has received it!” “The 14th Squadron has received it!” “The 15th Squadron has received it!”
As each squadron received its intended target, the squadrons began to spread out.
On their onboard monitors, the reconnaissance satellite department reported various deployments of the Tianzhu army in the Pansong area detected from space, including several artillery positions, air defense positions, communication targets, and suspected command centers.
The six MiG-29 fighter jets of the 13th Squadron instantly began to climb.
The MiG-29 fighter jets of the 14th Squadron followed closely behind.
Finally, the 15th Squadron, equipped with the MiG-29M combat bomber version, climbed up.
From a distance of more than ten kilometers, eighteen MiG-29 fighter jets launched air-to-ground missiles.
When the air defense vehicle of the Tianzhu Army’s 2nd Mountain Division’s air defense force suddenly detected the echo signature of a large group of enemy aircraft and issued a piercing alarm.
Boo hoo hoo——
Dozens of air-to-surface missiles were already heading towards them.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Although Tianzhu’s 2nd Mountain Division was in a state of combat readiness, they never expected that the Third Regiment of Gurkha Rifles on the front line would be the first to be bombed before they engaged the enemy!
In an instant, every station of Tianzhu’s 2nd Mountain Division in the entire Pansong area was accurately hit by air-to-ground missiles.
The air defense radar vehicle was attacked first and was blown into rubble before the alarm was issued. Dozens of radar operators died tragically on the spot.
Subsequently, communication targets in various parts of the Pansong area were attacked by air-to-ground missiles from the Qin army. Countless explosions rang out from all over the Pansong area, one after another.
Then came the air defense positions and artillery positions of the 2nd Mountain Division of Tianzhu. Under the reconnaissance of Qin’s military satellites, they were all attacked by Qin’s missiles. Various 105mm howitzers and 155mm heavy artillery were bombed. One Even the artillery shells were not fired, and several artillery positions were taken away.
The entire 2nd Mountain Division of the Tianzhu Army in the Pansong area was instantly paralyzed.
As soon as they were bombed, Terrell and Dedo hid in the half-bunker offensive.
“Hey! Hello!” Terrell picked up the radio communicator and wanted to contact the troops to launch a counterattack, but found that the communicator was busy!
“Our communication regiment has been bombed!” Deduo said with a gloomy face as he watched from the observation post that a communication antenna not far away was hit by a missile 440.
“Contact Dibrugarh Air Force Base immediately via satellite communication! Request air force support!” Terrell shouted.
The communication board under his command immediately turned on the satellite communication equipment, but a harsh noise came from inside.
“Report! Satellite communications have been interfered with!” The correspondent was sweating profusely.
“Where are the electronic response troops? What are they doing for food!” Terrell yelled.
“The electronic reaction force was in the air defense regiment and was immediately bombed by the Qin army!” a staff officer explained quickly.
Terrell’s eyes widened, and he watched anxiously as the troops outside were bombed, and unable to contact the troops, he could only watch the troops in chaos.
In the air, after the eighteen MiG-29 fighter jets took control of the air, they began to raise their altitude to guard against the Tianzhu Air Force coming from the Assam area.
Immediately after the MiG fighter group, six A-10 Warthog attack aircraft loaded with ammunition arrived in the Pansong area, behind them. There is also an electronic warfare plane that is conducting electronic suppression on the Tianzhu army in the Pansong area.
Six A-10 Warthog attack aircraft began indiscriminate bombing of the 2nd Mountain Division of the Tianzhu Army.
Various aerial bombs and air-to-surface missiles began to carry out supplementary attacks on the remaining targets! .
