Chapter 548 Coordinated Attack in the Open Space
Tikrit was caught in an explosion and flames. Outside the city, rumbling ground troops also arrived in the city illuminated by the flames.
The air strike did not end like this. In the sky, a large number of Hind attack helicopters replaced the air strikes by fighter jets, flying over the city, using the cover of buildings to provide cover for the following transport helicopters.
The two-winged Nighthawk transport helicopters are all big. On both sides of the fuselage, there are two small propellers to increase the speed of the helicopter during level flight.
On the ground, the armed forces of the Islamic State, which have not yet had time to respond, have difficulty organizing an effective attack under the attack of helicopters.
The speed of helicopters that shuttle between cities and buildings is very fast. In such an environment, ground anti-aircraft missiles can hardly target the helicopters that travel fast and are covered by buildings.
However, there are still many portable anti-aircraft missiles on the ground, and they counterattacked the helicopter units that attacked in the air.
However, under the suppression of strong electromagnetic force and the attraction of various decoy bombs, these simple anti-aircraft weapons cannot pose a decent threat to the helicopters in the air at all.
The following Nighthawk transport helicopters quickly landed a large number of special forces in every important area of the city.
The battle began immediately. A Nighthawk transport helicopter could quickly airborne a platoon of combat troops onto the battlefield. A large number of buildings and commanding heights of buildings were all occupied by a large number of soldiers from the SEAL unit and the sniper unit. . o m
A large number of gunshots began to sound in the city, and the three-dimensional offensive rhythm disrupted the coordination and cooperation between the Islamic State troops.
The Islamic State army, which has never really faced a powerful opponent, is still stuck in the tactical warfare against Iraqi government forces and Kurdish forces.
Thousands of elite-level special forces, almost thousands of soldier kings, landed in every corner of the city, and there were dense gunshots everywhere. Anyone who appeared on the street with a weapon in hand found a precise kill .
The armed peak on the street and the Islamic State armed with rocket launchers on their shoulders are also the fastest to die.
At the same time, a tank brigade with more than 160 main battle tanks as the vanguard also entered the city from all the main streets in the east of Tikrit. The tanks entered the city and cooperated with the special forces on the commanding heights of the city. The pace is picking up.
Many ISIS soldiers who appeared on the roof of the building at the same time,
They were greeted by relentless fire from helicopters.
Especially for those small armed helicopters, the firepower of the two machine guns on the two open doors of the super helicopters will completely suppress the armed forces of the Islamic State that appeared on the roof.
Under the combination of the night vision system and the identification friend or foe device, anyone who does not carry the identification friend or foe device is the target of attack.
At the same time, the multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle transported a large number of infantry to the side of the tank, and cooperated with the tank to advance, compressing all the enemies in the city towards the west of the city.
The hinds of the two air assault battalions also specially selected the armed vehicles on the streets, and the missiles went down one after another, and there were dense explosions everywhere.
The Vulcan cannon under the nose of the helicopter has also become a killing weapon for ground personnel.
The entire city, facing the sudden attack of a heavy army group, did not have the Islamic State armed forces with strong resistance capabilities. Under the propulsion of tanks and helicopters, all of them could only retreat steadily.
At the same time, a large number of terrorist robots also appeared in small alleys or buildings with firepower points.
The same machine gun on the terror droid quickly became the nightmare of every ISIS fighter.
In particular, the terrorist robots walked flexibly on the buildings, attacked condescendingly, and ambushed in the alleys on both sides of every tank passing by.
Under the coordinated operation of advantages, the whole battle went very smoothly. The combat effectiveness of the Islamic State armed forces is indeed not weak for individual soldiers, and their combat quality is also quite high.
However, the natural advantages of weapons and equipment, and the combat ability of every soldier in the Red Police Corps are not weak.
What's more, there are a large number of special forces cooperating in the city, precise sniping, every shot is drinking blood, every special force of the Red Police Corps, in Tikrit, is a killer.
As the tanks advanced, the battle spread to the center of the city, and it took less than an hour.
All the armed resistance east of Tikrit had either fled here or had been killed.
A large number of Tikrits hid at home with their wives and children, listening to the gunshots and explosions outside in fear.
The most important thing is that in such an environment, they can only pray that the flames of war will not spread to their homes.
At the same time, in Tikrit, the TV stations and radio stations have all been controlled by commandos and sniper teams for the first time.
After the electromagnetic suppression stopped, the city's radio and the speakers in every area also rang.
"We are the Marin Division of the Iraqi National Defense Forces. We are carrying out the combat mission to recover Tikrit. Please stay in the house quietly and don't appear on the street. At the same time, if you encounter the armed forces of the Islamic State and their threats, Please help the army outside as soon as possible, they will do their best to help you and rescue you from the mouth of the Islamic State..."
"Islamic State militants in Tikrit, listen, the entire city has been completely surrounded by our division, the sky is a powerful air force that we can't see the end of, and there are more than 500 main battle tanks and thousands of tanks on the ground. Armored vehicles, our determination to regain Tikrit is unprecedentedly firm, and will completely destroy all established resistance before dawn. No one can escape here. We will resolutely eliminate any armed resistance. Those who resisted in the corner, all put down their weapons and surrendered..."
The sound of the broadcast and the voice under the loudspeaker echoed over the city, and all the passages in and out of the entire city were surrounded by ground troops, and the routes for withdrawing troops were also cut off by special forces.
For the 20,000 ISIS militants in Tikrit, Cai Ruichen's order is to wipe them out.
He does not need these armed men who are mostly devoid of conscience. Eliminating these armed forces as much as possible will also help Baghdadi control the Islamic State. As for strength, Cai Ruichen will naturally make up for the losses of the Islamic State in large quantities. As for the current armed forces Soldier, it is better to die sooner. (To be continued.)
