1223 Assault Operation
"Are you sure we'll get something out of this trip?" Sitting in the cockpit, Harold held the headset in his robotic hand and shouted into the microphone attached to his cheek.
Two-thirds of his body sits in the cockpit and one-third sits outside. As a veteran, he had become accustomed to the feeling of the wind blowing on his face, allowing the cold in the sky to lap on his face.
"The synchronous orbit reconnaissance satellite detected that a team of 3,000 people on the other side departed from the opponent's largest city, AY-1, and arrived in AY-8 city yesterday." Inside the headset, the intelligence officer answered Harold's question.
"Subsequently, this unit did not leave AY-8 City, and then the envoy named Fogen who took the initiative to contact us set out from AY-8 City and arrived at our camp." The intelligence officer's tone was calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
But as long as you listen carefully to his report, you can guess that the satellite resolution of the Orchid Hill Empire has reached a very high accuracy.
In fact, the reconnaissance satellites of the Irlanhill Empire can already distinguish a human-sized moving target on the ground.
With such accuracy, it is completely possible to perceive any large-scale troop movements, and even distinguish the weapons carried by the opponent.
"The intelligence analysis department speculates that the emperor of the other side, or at least a very important minister, arrived in the city of AY-8." Inside the headset, the intelligence officer came to a conclusion and said to Harold: "So, your mission is to raid AY-8 and capture that important person!" ”
"Well, you talk a lot, I believe you." Harold turned off his headset and looked into the cabin of the UH-60 helicopter he was riding.
"Sir!" The officer sitting next to him put down the tablet in his hand and made a gesture: "Raiding during the day is not very beneficial to our concealment......"
Harold waved his hand, then pressed his hand to the assault rifle gun fixed on his chest: "Colonel Burrison did not set a time for our raid, but during the day, we will have more fire support. ”
The dragon knights of the Irlanhill Empire can already act at night. Because the Iran Hill Empire can equip these dragon knights with high-performance night vision devices.
However, the weight of the dragon knight is limited after all, and if you carry a night vision device, you will have to reduce the weight of the armor or reduce the weaponry.
After considering all the aspects, the Dragon Knight still decided that it would be more convenient to move during the day - after all, the intelligence showed that the other side did not have a strong air defense, and they would not face a sea of fire like the Iran Hill Empire.
In this world, there will not be too many enemies, and it can have the amazing anti-aircraft firepower of the Iran Hill Empire.
In fact, at that time, the overall air defense of the Irlanhill Empire was not very strong, but the tactics of the Magic Empire were relatively dull and did not adapt to the tactical changes of the Irlanhill Empire's air defense forces.
It wasn't until the air force of the Irlanhill Empire became strong that the Dragon Knight began to lose air superiority in the true sense of the word, losing its former glory.
However, despite the odds, the Irlanhill Empire still retains the dragon knight army, which looks outdated, and makes it even stronger.
In order to make the dragon knights have a higher combat power, the Elanhill Empire has provided the dragon knights with the latest and most powerful armor.
These new armors, lighter in weight and better in protection, represented by materials such as Kevlar, allow the dragon knight to significantly improve survivability.
Before, because of the weight, dragon knights could wear armor, but dragons could not wear armor to protect themselves. But now, in some important areas, the dragon knight's mount can also be effectively protected.
Of course, in addition to these defenses, the main equipment that greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Knight is the personal portable radio communication system.
This system allows the dragon knight to have a more detailed communication when fighting, which greatly improves the cooperation level of the dragon knight and increases the combat effectiveness of the dragon knight countless times.
The tactics that used to be similar to fighting alone have all been eliminated, and now the dragon knights can cooperate with each other, even if they encounter an early anti-aircraft artillery air defense network like Iran Hill, they can deal with it more calmly.
In addition, after the overall weight is reduced, the Dragon Knight has more options for combat suits. If you abandon the dragon knight's own defensive armor and armament, you can carry night vision devices and power supplies.
And if the armor is completely abandoned, the dragon knight can also mount bombs on his hind limbs, which can be used as a light bomber.
In short, the Dragon Knight of the Orchid Hill Empire has always been a backward class, but it is only relatively backward, it has actually made great progress, and it is very advanced.
"We have entered the range of enemy defenses! Get ready for battle! Get ready for battle! Looking at the electronic map handed over by his subordinates, Harold shouted loudly on the intercom inside.
On another UH-60 helicopter, on either side of the open hatch, two soldiers threw out a white folding drone, which was not huge.
The two drones opened their wings during the fall, the rocket thrusters ignited, and after adjusting their positions, they overtook the helicopter formation.
"The reconnaissance drone was successfully released! They're a bit of a big move! So the other side should know that we are coming. Sitting in the helicopter, looking at the operation screen, the drone operator gently moved the joystick and reported: "The signal is good!" See it very clearly! ”
"I'm willing to bet there's basically zero radio interference here!" Harold smiled and spoke. There is no radio at all in this world, so radio interference is very small.
Seeing that two rocket drones disappeared from view ahead, all the UH-60 helicopters began to descend in altitude.
They have entered the combat area, and although this world is backward, everyone does not want to sacrifice in such a primitive world because of carelessness.
"No. 6 and No. 8 are ready to suppress fire! The first abseiling on the 1st and 2nd is in the target square! No. 3 and No. 4 landed directly after establishing a perimeter guard position! Hardeman commanded as he checked his weapon and felt the currents.
When a city appeared on the horizon, Harold pressed the intercom switch again and said, "We only have 20 minutes to move, keep in touch!" The second batch of No. 5 and No. 7 entered the battlefield! Cover us out! ”
