Chapter 150
"Da da da......."
A number of Gazelle armed helicopters roared over the Taoyuan Airport.
When the Japanese army was found, the cannon on the nose and the machine gun pods on both sides began to fire frantically.
Dense bullets exploded in the crowd, leaving patches of blood on the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.
A large number of Nighthawk general-purpose helicopters hovered directly over the airport.
At the same time, they lowered ropes and began to land.
A 7.92mm barrel was also extended from the side door of the Nighthawk general-purpose helicopter.
It was the MG34 general-purpose machine gun.
Dense bullets flew around the airport.
The few Japanese troops were suppressed to death.
Taoyuan Airport had basically been bombed before.
The Japanese troops stationed here were all destroyed, so the airport was basically abandoned.
There was only one Japanese squad stationed here.
It was precisely because of this that the 100th Air Assault Division dared to land directly at the airport.
Because the Japanese army did not expect that the Red Alert Corps actually had this trick
"Go, go, go....."
"Da da da....."
After the landing, soldiers holding STG-44 rifles began to rush towards the major buildings of the airport.
Most of the Japanese troops were hiding in these buildings.
More than 2,000 soldiers were put down one after another.
""Two, five, three" Nighthawk helicopters and Chinook helicopters began to return.
Because they still needed to pick up the second batch of soldiers.
Taoyuan Airport was occupied in less than 20 minutes.
When the news reached the 56th Division, they were all in disbelief.
Taoyuan Airport is behind Hsinchu, how could the Chinese suddenly occupy it?
They didn't find the Chinese transport aircraft group.
"It was a strange aircraft.
They could hover in the air, and then their soldiers landed directly on the airport along the ropes."
Takasaka Zhenxiong was even more confused at this moment.
"???"
The plane can still hover in the air?
He really couldn't imagine what this scene was like.
But now not only Taoyuan Airport was occupied, but also Taoyuan City was in danger.
Once it was occupied by the Chinese, then their No. 18 beachhead in Hsinchu would be attacked from all sides.
Moreover, the land route between them and Hsinchu was cut off, which meant that their supplies and ammunition in the northern part of the Bay could not be transported there.
"Order the 59th Brigade to return to Taoyuan immediately and recapture it."
However, the 59th Brigade is not having a good time at the moment.
Because they were discovered by the Air Force.
The fighter plane that attacked them this time was a brand new fighter plane.
It was the second-generation Intruder attack aircraft.
This is also one of the models that are upgraded first.
As a jet fighter, the MiG-10 fighter has sufficient performance, so there is no need to upgrade it, and it is at the bottom of the priority list.
But the Intruder attack aircraft is different.
Although the first-generation Intruder attack aircraft has very good performance and good low-altitude and low-speed performance.
And the payload is very large, and the hovering time is long.
As an attack aircraft, it does not seem to have any obvious shortcomings.
But its biggest disadvantage is that it is not a jet fighter.
That is why it has become one of the models that are replaced first.
The First and Second Air Forces have some The Invader fighter squadrons began to change their equipment one after another.
It happened to catch up with this island landing operation, so it was sent here by the Air Force.
In actual combat, compare it with the first-generation Invader to see if the jet attack aircraft is more powerful.
The fuselage of the second-generation Invader jet attack aircraft adopts an all-metal semi-monocoque design, and the fuselage is short and thick.
It adopts a cantilever upper wing, a large aspect ratio trapezoidal straight wing design, and a 20-degree sweep angle on the leading edge of the wing.
This design also gives it very good low-altitude and low-speed performance.
For an excellent front-line support attack aircraft.
Quick entry, low altitude and low speed, high payload, and high protection are enough.
The second-generation Invader attack aircraft has achieved this.
It is equipped with two 4.5-ton thrust turbojet engines.
The twin-engine layout can also ensure that when one engine is After being hit and damaged, the other engine can also allow the plane to fly back.
The key is to have a tough skin and strong muscles.
You know, in order to improve its protection capabilities.
The bottom and surrounding areas of the cockpit are equipped with titanium alloy bulletproof plates with a thickness of 30 mm.
The engine also has a 10 mm thick titanium alloy bulletproof steel plate as protection.
This ensures that it is difficult for anti-aircraft machine guns to penetrate these important parts.
But if it is an anti-aircraft gun, it is another matter.
No aircraft can withstand the attack of anti-aircraft guns.
In addition to super protection, it also has a very good ammunition load.
Thanks to two high-thrust turbojet engines.
It has a maximum take-off weight of more than 17 tons.
The 8 mounting points under the wing can carry a total of 4.5 tons of weapons.
There is also a 30mm cannon in the nose.
Although Although the mounting points are much less than the first generation, the bomb load is not much reduced.
Moreover, it has stronger protection and flies faster.
It has a speed of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour and a combat range of 1,000 kilometers.
Generally speaking, as a jet attack aircraft, the second-generation Invader attack aircraft is a very excellent existence.
This time, it was an entire Invader attack aircraft brigade that attacked the 59th Brigade of the Japanese Army, a total of 30 jet Invader attack aircraft.
One Invader attack aircraft after another passed over the heads of the 59th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
The Tiannv aviation submunitions it carried were dropped. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
It also caused heavy casualties in the Japanese brigade.
Faced with this situation, they couldn't march at all.
Let alone marching, they could only lie on the ground and be bombed.
Run? Can your two legs run faster than the plane?
The faster you run, the faster you die.[]
After all the low-drag bombs, aerial submunitions, and napalm bombs were thrown, these attack aircraft began to strafe the ground with the 30mm cannon on the nose.
Although it was unclear whether the person lying on the ground was a corpse or a living person, they would sweep it first.
Soon the second batch of fighter planes arrived.
This time, it was a mixed fleet of MiG-10 fighters and first-generation Invader attack aircraft, with a number of hundreds.
Their arrival made the Japanese army fall into despair.
An entire brigade of six or seven thousand people was completely suppressed. They dared not move at all.
For the Air Force, without the cooperation of the ground forces, they could not destroy this brigade.
But it was very simple to suppress them.
The 100th Air Assault Division, with the cooperation of armed helicopters, also successfully eliminated the Japanese garrison battalion in Taoyuan.
Completely controlled this not-so-big city.
The people on the island of Wan were stunned when they saw this scene.
They had no idea where this suddenly descended force came from.
When they heard the Chinese from these soldiers, they finally confirmed that the Chinese troops were coming this time.
It immediately caused a sensation throughout Taoyuan.
"The Chinese Royal Army is coming! The Royal Army is coming!.........."
This also made it easy for the vanguard of the 100th Air Assault Division to gain a foothold in Taoyuan.
Most of the people were very excited and excited about the arrival of the Red Alert Corps.
This is the so-called harmony among people.
If it is a hostile city, then you can refer to the later Black Hawk Down.
The first batch of helicopters sent all the more than 4,000 people of an entire brigade.
Only four more flights are needed to transport the troops and equipment of the entire division. It is expected that the entire 100th Air Assault Division can be fully transported on the same day.
This is the powerful mobility of the Air Assault Division.
Although the 100th Air Assault Division lacks heavy equipment such as tank armor.
But they do not lack the means to deal with armored tanks.
Not to mention the 60mm and 80mm anti-tank rocket launchers and 120mm recoilless guns.
There is also the AT-1 Xiangjian anti-tank missile.
Although this missile uses visual aiming and tracking, its hit rate is still very good.
The most important thing is that its range is long enough, and the effective range can reach 2.5 kilometers.
It can destroy any tank currently in service.
Even the first generation of the Guardian main battle tank couldn't withstand a single shot from it.
The second generation couldn't withstand too much either.
Only the Apocalypse tank could directly withstand its attack.
This is also the latest product of the Ordnance Industry Group.
Due to the limited production, it is given priority to serve in special forces.
For example, the Airborne Army, the Marine Corps, the Mountain Infantry Division, the Air Assault Division and other troops that lack armored vehicles.
The Japanese counterattack did not work.
It was a few hours later when the 59th Brigade rushed back to Taoyuan.
And their casualties had exceeded 2,000.
When they came back, they faced the 1st Air Assault Brigade of the 100th Air Assault Division, which had already built a defensive position.
When the 59th Brigade of the Japanese Army launched an offensive, it was once again hit by a joint air-ground attack.
Three attack helicopter battalions attacked 88 Gazelle armed helicopters and more than 100 fighters.
The artillery of the 100th Air Assault Division also joined in. In less than an hour, the 59th Mixed Brigade was defeated.
The power displayed by the 5.4 Gazelle armed helicopter was particularly amazing.
Because it flies low enough and slow enough, it can even hover, so the field of vision is also very good.
It can easily find targets on the ground to attack.
Attack aircraft cannot do this.
The Gazelle armed helicopter also played a vital role in easily defeating the 59th Brigade this time.
The defeat of the 59th Brigade also means the beginning of the defeat of the entire Japanese island defense fortifications.
At present, the 100th Air Assault Division has transported the entire division's troops here.
And the Taoyuan Airport was simply expanded and built into the helicopter base of the 100th Air Assault Division.
Helicopters do not need runways like airplanes, as long as there is a flat ground.
The original oil depot at the airport was not bombed and can also be used.
This also means that the helicopters of the 100th Air Assault Division can provide nearby support.
The 100th Air Assault Division also pushed the defense range forward more than ten kilometers to prevent Taoyuan Airport from being bombarded.
At night, the Japanese army also prevented a small number of troops from sneaking, but they were all repelled.
When the next morning came.
Sun Liren assembled two air assault infantry brigades with more than 8,000 people and more than 200 helicopters to launch an offensive against the Japanese army in Hsinchu.
