Yemen, in the mountains of the north.
In the dark valley, accompanied by the rare light rain in the desert area, there are dots of lights flickering. In the center of the valley, there is a semi-underground fortification, covering a large area.
Inside the fortification, it was arranged like a frontline command room in a war, but it also had some special decorations, with a somewhat mysterious and sectarian style. There were more than fifty people on site at the moment.
"Heroic warriors!"
"Tonight, we will launch an operation that will shock the entire world!"
"We must let the Saud family, these shameful heretics, always remember this bloody night, and we must let them feel the pain!"
"Blow up their oil depots! Set their oil wells on fire! Because this wealth should be ours!"
"Fight! Fight! Only fight!"
In the huge fortification, I saw a young man who looked less than thirty years old. He was holding a book in his left hand and an AK rifle with the butt cut off in his right hand. He was standing on a small platform with sharp eyes. The voice roared wildly.
In the audience, more than fifty young and middle-aged men also began to shout crazily!
"Blow up their oil depots! Set their oil wells on fire!"
"Fight! Fight! Only fight!"
In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax. After lasting for more than half a minute, the young man on the stage waved his hand and shouted:
"Now! All soldiers obey orders! Let's go!"
Following his voice, the soldiers present filed out of the basement. At this moment, one rotorcraft after another could be seen parked on the ground on the platform in the middle of the valley. They boarded their respective rotorcrafts, and there were about Thirty of them are single-person with ammunition, and twenty are double-person with a small amount of ammunition, a light machine gun, and a large number of machine gun magazines and drums.
"Buzz buzz!"
Then other "ground crews" began to push the rotorcraft to a flat short-distance runway. Then the rotorcraft's engine started, and with the sound of the propeller cutting the air, it glided and took off.
In the end, the eight planes formed a formation and flew towards the north. There were seven such formations in total!
"This time, it almost depleted our rotorcraft."
"I hope we can win that goal. We have been planning for this goal for a month!"
After all the rotorcraft left, a middle-aged man sighed and said this, while the young man speaking next to him looked at the sky, his eyes flashing slightly and said:
"No matter what, this is our last chance to attack."
"Today's light rain is the most precious opportunity given to us by God. We must not miss it!"
“According to our intelligence, the first batch of rotorcraft ordered by Saudi Arabia has arrived. As their rotorcraft continue to arrive, as long as air patrols are strengthened, our sneak attacks and guerrillas will no longer be successful. "
"And what's left will be the most brutal and fierce battle, and also our most precious opportunity."
"If we succeed, we can become the masters of this country, and then with the support of the Soviet Union, we can expand eastward and northward and restore our glory."
"For this goal, we will do whatever it takes!"
In response to the young man's statement, the middle-aged man nodded and even said happily:
"Hussein, you are growing up faster than I thought!"
"I look forward to the day when you are crowned king!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Then, a burst of laughter rang out in the darkness, echoing in the valley and unable to dissipate for a long time, while the drizzle continued.
at the same time.
In the southeastern part of Saudi Arabia, the Pamis oil base is one of the largest oil bases in the entire southern region. However, because this oil base is located in the north of Oman, it is not far from the United Arab Emirates, but far from the northern part of Yemen where conflicts and sneak attacks are ongoing. , there are still hundreds of kilometers away, and overall it is a relatively safe location.
Because of this, they are not equipped with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles for the time being. After all, the limited anti-aircraft weapons must be given priority to the oil bases near Yemen in the south and Jordan in the north. The demand for air defense there is the highest, but they have also obtained A batch of rotorcraft, totaling twenty, can be used for nighttime air patrols.
At this moment, the general dispatch control room of the oil base.
"It actually rained today?"
"Tsk! The raindrops hitting my face feel so good!"
"To be honest, it would be really wonderful if I could have a cup of Hey!"
"By the way, have the patrols been arranged for tonight? Can we take off if it rains?"
"Hiss! This is a question. I'm going to check the operation manual. Wait! Well, it doesn't say it, so it means it can take off, right? To be honest, I'm not sure."
"But there shouldn't be any need to patrol on this rainy day, right? The sky is foggy, and I feel very unsafe."
"In this case, let's report the news and ask for their opinions from above!"
"That makes sense. I went for a walk outside."
Then the sound of the conversation disappeared. For the leaders of these bases in the command room, their sense of crisis was not strong. After all, the attack had lasted for more than a month. Due to the geographical location, this was not a conflict. It happened in the area, so the overall situation is quite soothing.
But little did they know that the poisonous scorpion in the darkness was already targeting them!
In the dark, rainy and foggy sky, more than fifty rotorcraft in seven formations flew quickly in the air at neither high nor low according to the route determined by previous reconnaissance. Just when they were running low on fuel, the ground appeared in the distance. The lights, the lights flashed continuously. They landed and refueled, moving in one go, with almost no pauses or making any unnecessary sounds, and then took off again, running towards the target.
For Saudi Arabia and Oman, which are located in desert areas, most of the population lives in clusters. It is normal for large areas of land to be empty of people. It is rare for people to have villages and towns. Therefore, for this batch of rotorcraft, it is necessary to cooperate with their previous reconnaissance. route without any awareness at all.
"No enemy patrol rotorcraft found! Prepare to bomb! Turn off the lights!"
At three o'clock in the morning local time, seven formations of rotorcraft had arrived at the outskirts of the Pamis Oil Base. The co-pilot of the rotorcraft flying at the front, the soldier in front, was actually wearing a helmet on his head. Wearing a rather bulky thing, this thing is actually a fairly advanced passive infrared night vision device from the US military!
In today's era, although night vision equipment has been developed for more than 40 years, individual night vision equipment is still a relatively rare thing, let alone such an armed organization, even the ordinary troops of the two giants There is also no equipment. Only some special units and elite units, or before carrying out special military operations, will be issued and equipped with a small number of individual night vision devices.
The reason is still due to technical limitations, either the size is too large or the night vision effect is not good enough, not to mention cost constraints. The current cost of individual night vision devices is too high. If equipped on a large area, even for the two giants It is difficult to accept it. Besides, in today's war situation, there is no need for large-scale equipment.
The real night vision devices became famous in the first battle and began to accelerate development. Western countries rushed to start equipping them. It was already after the Gulf conflict in 1991. Their performance in the war and the significant improvement in night vision capabilities brought about by technological development, equipment The miniaturization and cost reduction have promoted the large-scale equipment of night vision devices.
"Crack! Crack!"
Accompanied by the voice of the soldier wearing night vision goggles in front, the pilot behind controlled the lights on the tail of the rotorcraft to flash several times, which meant that no trace of the enemy rotorcraft patrol was found and the bombing could begin!
Almost at the same time, the light signal began to be transmitted backwards. The lights of more than fifty rotorcraft were turned off, and then they rushed towards the Pamis Oil Base!
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The night bombing begins!
But what has to be said is that although the Pamis Oil Base is far away from conflicts, after all, conflicts have occurred so many times, and they have also experienced many exercises. Therefore, as soon as the bombing broke out, the security forces on the ground, Rescue workers and firefighters have already responded!
"Damn it! It's a rotorcraft bombing! Quick, quick, quick! Pay attention to concealment!"
"Don't leave your room for unrelated people. You can stay safe by hiding under the bed or in the corner!"
"Activate the damage control system! Close the oil pipeline! Stop oil production! Turn on the equipment sprinkler fire protection system! Activate the main safety system!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Fire flares! Try to attack the air!"
"The gyrocopter takes off! The gyrocopter takes off quickly! Drive away the attacking enemy air raid aircraft, quickly, quickly, quickly!"
As a relatively large oil base, the internal rules, regulations and emergency plans of Pamis Oil Base are far beyond those of small oil bases. Therefore, as soon as the air strike occurred, the dispatch headquarters issued relevant Orders, along with one order after another, the entire base "came alive"!
"The damage control system has been turned on! The oil pipeline is shut down! Oil production is shut down!"
"Flare! We see the enemy!"
"Aim at them and shoot! The heavy machine guns begin to fire, and form a fire net! Quick, quick, quick!"
"Be careful! Be careful! Ah! I was shot! They have guns! They are not just here to bomb, they have rifles! Pay attention to the firepower!"
"Damn it! Drag the body away, we need cover!"
"The gyrocopter has been towed out of the hangar. The pilot and co-pilot are ready for takeoff!"
After all, the conflict has been going on for more than a month, and even a fool can understand the three-point secret. Not to mention that although the United States has no direct control, it has sent an advisory team to provide some guidance.
Therefore, although the Pamis Oil Base is far away from the conflict line and the defense priority is not that high and is not equipped with air defense weapons, it still has a secondary defense method, which is heavy machine gun air defense.
Compared with dedicated anti-aircraft guns, heavy machine guns are definitely not good. However, based on the experience of many attacks in the past, in order to ensure the accuracy of bombing, the attackers normally do not fly very high, which is just over a thousand meters. For rifles and light For machine guns, this range is no longer a threat, but for heavy machine guns, there is still a glimmer of hope.
So this "wild road" defense system was built, which was based on flares and industrial searchlights. Heavy machine gun positions were arranged at the high points of the oil base. Through specially designed machine gun tripods, the heavy machine guns could target Although it lacks aiming accuracy, it is still a threat to the rotorcraft as long as it can weave a fire net.
Unless they increase the flight altitude, under the influence of cross wind and other meteorological conditions, the accuracy of bomb delivery will be greatly reduced, then the destructiveness will be greatly reduced, and the losses will naturally be less.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Damn! They have guns! Cover! Cover yourself!"
"Where's the gyroplane? We need air support! Take off quickly!"
"They are passing towards the east, pay attention! Pay attention!"
"Searchlights follow! Add flares!"
"Damn it! The target has been lost!"
At this moment, the entire Pamis Oil Base was in chaos. Although their plan was "pretty perfect", they never expected that the enemy did not follow common sense!
In the past, in order to maximize the bombing efficiency, their attacks usually did not bring any self-defense weapons, but only a large number of bombs. Even if they were hit and there was no hope of returning, they would fly the rotorcraft towards the largest and most dangerous place below. The important target flies over and then crashes into it!
But this time, they actually carried rifles!
As a result, the original heavy machine gun position is useless, because the original range, power and accuracy are not enough, and the air defense is purely based on concealment. If the rotorcraft above does not have any means of resistance, then maybe a few can be fooled. , forcing them to raise their altitude, but the opponent now has the means to resist!
Compared with heavy machine gun air defense, the people on the plane used light machine guns to hit heavy machine gun firepower points. The efficiency from a high position was not very high. Moreover, the shooters on the opposite side were obviously trained and their shooting was particularly accurate!
And there is another problem, that is, if the heavy machine gun position fires, it will be easily targeted, and then the skull will be lifted by a shuttle. If it does not fire, it will be difficult to be targeted and attacked by the attacker's rotorcraft under the cover of darkness. However, It means it doesn't exist, and finally enters an infinite loop. It doesn't work either by firing or not firing!
"Cover the gyrocopter taking off! Cover the gyrocopter taking off!"
Finally, after the chaos, another order was issued.
At the same time, the sneak attack also noticed the taking-off rotorcraft and began to try to attack the rotorcraft. During the struggle between the two sides, several rotorcraft were destroyed before taking off. However, there were still fifteen rotorcraft, risking A hail of bullets flew!
"Fire! Fire the gyrocopter! Keep firing flares on the ground! Searchlight tracking!"
"Ground fire avoids our rotorcraft!"
"Repeat! Avoid our rotorcraft to prevent accidental damage!
Subsequently, the battle in the air at the Pamis Oil Base directly entered a fever pitch. When the rotorcraft from the oil base took off, the advantage of the sneak attacker disappeared instantly, because the two sides became air-to-air combat and were on the same level. Needless to say, the defenders also have ground support, such as the sound of machine guns from time to time, the light of flares, and the tracking of searchlights after the light of the flares fades!
The advantage of the sneak attack side is that they have more attack rotorcraft, more than twenty, while the oil base has a total of twenty, and five of them were shot down during takeoff!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the gyrocopter continued to fire and the muzzle flames danced, flames appeared one after another in the air. Rotorcrafts continued to fall from above, some from the sneak attackers and some from the defenders.
But it has to be said that after the rotorcraft from the oil base joined the battle, the bombing process was greatly delayed, and the battle entered a stalemate for a while!
Finally, about ten minutes passed.
The assault rotorcraft finally dropped all their bombs and began to retreat. At this time, the oil base defenders only had five rotorcraft left. The number of enemy rotorcraft was unknown, but at least twenty were shot down. shelf!
"Buzz buzz!"
In the distance, accompanied by the sound of the engine, a flashlight-like light suddenly appeared in the dark sky!
"Our rotorcraft support is coming! Hold them back!"
"We must hold them back!"
At that moment, in the dispatching and command room, the red-eyed commander-in-chief roared, while next to a high position, the person in charge of the security force smelled the smoke in the air, listened to the wailing in his ears, and looked at the twinkling lights in the sky. Flame, there is an inexplicable funny feeling in my heart.
"Damn it! Son of a bitch!"
"Today's battle suddenly reminded me of the air combat during World War I that I talked about in military school!"
"Is it now 2016, not 1982?"
Finally, he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm and couldn't help but curse. At the same time, the situation in the sky gradually became clearer. Along with the rotorcraft coming to support, the attacker's rotorcraft soon couldn't hold on, so along with Shouting some slogans, they directly controlled the rotorcraft and crashed into the oil depot. Then, in the explosions and blazing torches that lit up the sky, they turned into fragments and dust, floating in the sky forever!
Only then did the sound of roaring fighter jets appear in the sky. They flashed past, then circled twice and left again. On the one hand, the air battle was over, and on the other hand, they did not dare to fly over the oil base. Fire at will, because it is very likely that the losses caused by the enemy are not as great as the losses caused by their own accidental injuries. In short, they can be understood to be here for reconnaissance.
Half an hour later.
"Your Highness the Prince! Your Highness the Prince! What good news! What great news!"
"Just now, the Pamis Oil Base actually encountered a sneak attack. Those cunning enemies infiltrated under the cover of darkness by refueling midway. After the attack, the oil base quickly organized a resistance, and the rotorcraft took off. Empty, drive away and attack the enemy."
In the bedroom, Sattler was still sleeping when he heard a knock on the door, and then heard the voice of the staff who could not suppress their joy. In an instant, Sattler woke up, sat up quickly and asked anxiously:
"What's the result? What's the result?"
Faced with this problem, the staff outside the door said excitedly:
"Destroy all the enemy forces! With the help of the supporting rotorcraft, we completely wiped out the enemy's air attack force. There were fifty-six rotorcraft in total!"
"We won big!"
At that moment, Sattler felt joy rush into his chest and couldn't help laughing!
