In addition to these electronic devices, a large number of Dodge trucks hoarded by the Americans in Iran were also received by Huaxia and joined the rolling transport fleet as part of Huaxia's logistics transportation. From 1/4 ton of jeep to 1.5 ton. Trucks ranging from 2.5 tons to 5 tons, half-tracks of various specifications are grouped together into various transport brigades. Of course, the generosity of the Americans was not without a price, and Huaxia had to compensate in other ways, such as discounting the supplies provided by the U.S. military for Huaxia, and then exchanging them for Huaxia-29 tank destroyers and other armored weapons of equal value.

The brilliant record and excellent performance of this weapon have become a myth among the US military, and previous defeats can be attributed to the lack of sufficiently good weapons. With the Type 29 tank destroyer, the American armored corps said that at least the defense was not worried, and many people even began to wonder if the Type 29 tank destroyer could be used to replace the M4 Sherman tank in the attack! Even Patton believed that the tank's armor and artillery made up for the lack of a turret.

The Americans can be said to have given their full support, so the British naturally expressed some of it. However, compared with the deep-pocketed US Army, the British really didn't have much to come up with, and the powerful air force had just been beaten by the Germans, and there were many more planes lying on the ground than there were that that could be used normally. Now some of the planes are still being repaired at the airports in Huaxia, the army? Well, in the spirit of saving fuel and supplies, Huaxia thought that the same fuel supply to the Huaxia armored troops was more effective than to the British, Montgomery's large forces still covered the Huaxia flanks, of course, like those rangers composed of veterans and experienced officers, Huaxia urgently needed to strengthen the reconnaissance force. However, the most valuable thing is a large number of trucks, in order to ensure the supply of the attacking troops, Huaxia's demand for trucks is almost to the point of starvation! As long as it is transported, the vehicles that can be used normally are all pulled in to transport the troops, and it is this kind of looting that can be called digging into the ground that supports the long Babylonian offensive in China!

"All units are ready. We can go. As the Daystar gradually fell, an airfield on Iran's western border was brightly lit, and huge porcupine bombers (the Chinese version of the B25) were neatly lined up on the tarmac and then entered the runway with the help of a tractor. These bombers belonged to the most elite sniper bomber group in China. The entire group has a total of 4 bomber squadrons, each with 25 porcupine-type medium bombers. This bomber unit, which has been established for nearly five years, has always been one of the top secrets in the Huaxia Army, and today Huaxia needs to use actual combat to test whether the resources and painstaking efforts invested in this unit can be exchanged for corresponding combat effectiveness!

Each bomber carried three guided bombs, the guided bomb named Thunder 1 weighed more than 650 kilograms, and its warhead was a 500 kilogram bomb. Adjustable wings were installed in the rear of the bombs, and gliding components were also installed in the upper part of the bodies of individual Thunder-1 guided bombs so that they could fly farther. However, given the tracking distance of the aircraft's electromechanical computers and sighting equipment, the range of the gliding bomb is much lower than the actual gliding distance, but even this is enough for the bombers of the sniper group to avoid most of the anti-aircraft fire.

"Wait a little more for the mongoose detachment and the observer detachment, we need to act with them." Captain Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the other two squads that were busy on the other runway and said, the former is to provide electronic jamming to the sniper team, while the latter is equipped with heavier reconnaissance equipment such as camera guns to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the sniper team, for Zhao Yuanzhen. The operation was more like an experiment, with the elimination of key targets being one aspect, but more important was the assessment of the strike effectiveness of precision-guided weapons.

The target of Zhao Yuanzhen's squadron this time was Mosul, an important city in the northern part of the Two Rivers Valley, which is located on the Eastern Railway and is one of the most important transportation hubs from Asia Minor to the Two Rivers Valley, where marshalling yards, freight yards and stations are important pillars to support Turkish forces in the Middle East. In the face of such an important target, if you want to rely on conventional air attack means to solve it, then the number of bombers needed is probably in the triple digits, and the number of professional twin-engine bombers currently owned by China in the entire Iranian region is only a little more than 200. Therefore, in order to hit this target hard, Qin Yue, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Air Force in Iran, decisively handed over this task to the 2nd Squadron of the Sniper Group. Of course, if the first air raid is not effective. Then Qin Yue could only arrange other planes to make up for the other party.

"Don't get into trouble!" In order to ensure the safety of the snipers, Qin Yue has done all the security work, in addition to the meerkat electronic warfare detachment, he is also equipped with a squadron of flying fox fighters to provide escort. And the time chosen is also before dawn. When the group reaches the target area, it should be at dawn, with its back to the sun. Electronic jamming and optical jamming have been taken into account, and the escort force is enough to disperse the Allied fighter forces that may appear along the way, so there may not be any problems!

And Zhao Yuanzhen, as the squadron leader, does not care about his own safety, according to his words, when you sit in a cockpit armor. The engine is also protected by armor, and when you are in a war machine full of a dozen 50-caliber machine guns, are you still afraid of guys like the BF109? Thanks to the fact that the Americans finally came up with a fairly good air-cooled engine and the turbocharging technology that Huaxia Xinxue learned, this bomber did not fly slowly after dropping the bomb. Although you can't just walk away in front of the German fighter like a mosquito, if you want to go, it is not easy to defeat the porcupine that wants to escape with the firepower and speed of the BF109! But considering that you only have one life, no one would refuse more protection.

According to the pre-planned route, the entire fleet slowly climbed to an altitude of 4,000 meters after completing the formation, and then gradually reduced to about 2,000 meters as it got closer and closer to the target, in order to avoid long-range early warning radars along the way, when a red sun rose over the horizon, Mosul finally appeared in front of the attacking troops, although most of the people in the city have not yet started their day, but the railway station and airport on the outskirts of the city have already begun to busy. "Brothers, it's time to work!" With Zhao Yuanzhen's order, the mongoose detachment in front of the entire formation and the flying fox fighters responsible for suppressing the anti-aircraft artillery fire began to fly towards the target. 8 jammers carried by 32 electronic warfare aircraft were turned on at the same time, and the operators quickly adjusted the frequency band to the working frequency of the German radar, and under the suppression of powerful all-round aiming jamming, the radar stations on the periphery quickly fell into chaos!

"Repeat, fighter units should not fly too low. Especially in the direction of the airfield, the enemy's anti-aircraft fire will be relatively dense, as long as you can ensure that their fighters cannot climb. My porcupine herd would climb high into the air and return after dropping the bombs, with minimal safety concerns. Before the attack began, Zhao Yuanzhen reminded the fighter squadron responsible for cover. There is no need for them to fight so hard, after all, their own aircraft group can attack from 5 kilometers away, which is already a safe distance.

Huge planes flew through the city, and bombardiers were already searching for their targets. "I see the formation standing, and the first squad is going to attack as planned. Wait, there is a train in the northeast of the marshalling yard, it is a flatbed trailer, covered with canvas, it should be a tank or other heavy vehicle, it is a big fish! Soon, Zhao Yuanzhen's communication channel heard the excited voice of his comrades-in-arms after discovering the target.

"According to the plan, we will attack the marshalling yard, the oil depot and the freight yard first, and the train will say anything, we have a limited number of bombs." Zhao Yuanzhen suppressed the ** attack in his heart and once again emphasized the order of attack, and just as the sniper team assigned the target, the Allied anti-aircraft artillery units stationed around the station also began to shoot into the air. The neighing of anti-aircraft guns of various calibers came from the ground, and countless explosive points exploded around the plane. The huge plane flew like a small boat in the rough sea.

"Don't be afraid, their small-caliber anti-aircraft guns can't reach us, and the slow rate of fire of medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns and the absence of radar guidance is not a big problem." Zhao Yuanzhen comforted his comrades who had just entered the battlefield, and at the same time commanded the team to fly towards the target grouping station.

"The target is at a distance of 4 km, at an altitude of 4500 meters, and it is possible to drop bombs!" With the words of the bombardier, a guided bomb in the middle of the belly was detached from the hanging. The tracer tube in the tail of the bomb quickly lit up after the detachment, and the bombardier immediately aimed the lens at the tracer tube. The aircraft then flies at a constant altitude and speed in order to ensure the accuracy of tracking. One camera locks onto the target, while the other focuses on the bomb. The bombardier carefully adjusts the bomb's flight attitude through the joystick. Everything is going according to the operation process that has been rehearsed hundreds of times, and it seems to be as normal as picking up food with chopsticks during meals every day.

But this scene falling on the ground can be described as a miracle in the eyes of the Confederate soldiers! The other party is here to blow up the marshalling station, and a discerning person can see it at a glance, but what does it mean that you dropped a bomb from a few kilometers away? Aren't there only two ways to bomb? Or dive at a high angle for precision bombing. Or bomb horizontally at medium and high altitudes and drown your opponent with an astonishing amount of bombs. What are you doing dropping a bomb so far from your target? Watching the big fireworks? When the crew dropped the first wave of bombs, the Germans were not only not nervous but relieved, saying in their hearts that this scumbag pilot had come for nothing.

But then the bomb, which was supposed to be in a parabolic motion, suddenly began to get restless, and from the ground, it seemed that something small had unfolded on the upper part of the bomb. Then the projectile body seemed to jump upwards for a moment, and then the flight trajectory flew in a smooth arc towards the marshalling station! Although the flight is twisted and crooked, after all, it is flying towards the target, and it seems that it has been corrected several times on the way!

"This bomb is actually under control! It's amazing! "The Germans have a research project on remote-controlled bombs, but ordinary officers and soldiers obviously can't touch these things, watching more and more bombs that can change the direction of flight fly towards the target, the German air defense forces in charge of the defense of the important places began to go crazy to intercept these strange and deadly weapons! The 20MM Erley anti-aircraft cannon and the 40MM Bofors anti-aircraft cannon spewed out tongues of fire, and countless shells rushed to the target like flying locusts, but unfortunately, the target was too small, and the speed was too fast, the high-altitude bomb made this bomb have an amazing speed at the end, for people who need to face the bomb attack, the bomb dropped from a height of more than 4000 meters was as fast as lightning and hit the studio of the marshalling station, and then accompanied by a loud noise, a huge fireball rose from the target area, The entire building and the surrounding area were torn to pieces, and then a series of explosions came from the station, a group of 5 planes dropped a total of 15 guided bombs, except for 4 failed to attack due to malfunction problems, 9 bombs accurately hit the target, and in the absence of interference, the hit rate actually reached more than 6 percent! The remaining few bombs also exploded near the target, and the high-power warhead inflicted some damage on the target.

"Well done!" Although the sniper brigade had scored higher results in the shooting range, it was still beyond Zhao Yuanzhen's expectations to achieve such a high hit in actual combat. The invention of guided weapons is absolutely subversive to the mode of warfare, and the Air Force will completely become the ruler of the war, whether it is tanks on the ground or warships on the sea, they will tremble under the wings and bombs of the Air Force!

"From the current point of view, the sniper's attack is very effective in the face of shallow depth and not very well-defended targets, but it is a very dangerous behavior when attacking targets with a certain depth and strong protection such as airfields, thanks to the weak firepower of the German BF109 fighter, my comrades can finally get rid of the fate of being shot down." In Zhao Yuanzhen's diary, he once commented on the first attack of the sniper unit.

The group responsible for attacking the airfield entered the battlefield from the direction with its back to the sun, the fire control radar of the Germans was not yet mature and almost ineffective under the suppression of 4 Mongoose electronic warfare aircraft, and the optical sighting equipment was interfered with by the sun. Medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns played a very small role in defending against the attacks of the opposing side. What really trickled the snipers was the fighters, but not the ones that took off from the airfield, the former had been suppressed by the early approach of the Foxbat twin-engine fighters, which circled at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, staring like eagles waiting for an opportunity to pounce on the BF109 fighter group below. If the altitude is too low, it will be ambushed by the hidden Bofors anti-aircraft guns, and if the altitude is too high, it will not have a suppressive effect.
