Chapter 1264: Vanguard Gunboat Fire Suppression
In the sky above Tel Aviv, dense umbrella flowers slowly fall, and the city is full of gunfire.
Israel's ground anti-aircraft firepower has all started to work, and most of it is small-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns and other weapons.
In the previous fighter air raids, a large number of armored vehicles and heavy weapons were all destroyed by the air strikes.
A large number of armored anti-aircraft vehicles were destroyed in the hangars, and only those scattered anti-aircraft machine guns, which were scattered all over the place, were able to survive to the present day due to the fact that the targets were too small.
In the process of parachuting the airborne division, the global transport planes were accompanied by a vanguard armed warship with a wing.
Having already destroyed most of the IDF's anti-aircraft firepower, the Vanguard entered the battlefield with little pressure.
The Vanguard armed warship aircraft, which has a powerful fuselage structure and defensive power, can completely ignore those small-caliber anti-aircraft firepower.
As soon as they arrived on the battlefield, the vanguard armed warships and planes began to intensively suppress all the firepower points on the ground.
Covering the landing of the paratroopers, a large number of shells kept falling on the heads of the Israeli soldiers.
The anti-aircraft artillery fire, which was still raging just now, began to gradually mute fire, and the 155-millimeter howitzer on the vanguard armed warship was extremely lethal, and it could destroy a large area with a single shot.
The artillery was in the sky again, and there was no dead end in the ground attack, and the ferocious fire suppression soon suppressed the ground fire.
The firepower exerted by a pioneer armed warship is no less than that of a heavy howitzer battalion, and even compared with the ground artillery that can only be a fixed artillery position, this kind of airmobile firepower point is completely a soldier's big killer.
The advanced identification of friend or foe system, as well as the guidance of the ground special commando, every weapon operator in the Vanguard armed warship is eager to reload the ammunition time, which can be shorter.
On the ground, there are all kinds of obvious targets that can be attacked, and on the streets, the alarmed Israeli soldiers, are good targets.
However, the real lethality is the 120 mm electrochemical gun on the vanguard armed fighter plane, which is exactly the same as the main gun on the Apocalypse Tank, and it is still an air-to-ground attack, and the lethality is even more amazing.
The only operational objective of this artillery is to find the Israeli main battle tanks in the city, although the advanced main battle tanks have all gone to the front line.
But there are quite a few other tanks in other cities in the Israeli rear, and the Israeli mechanized infantry division defending Tel Aviv also has a tank brigade full of Merkava-4 main battle tanks.
The Merkava-4 main battle tank is an advanced equipment that is not inferior to any third-generation main battle tank in the world, although it is inferior to the Merkava-5 in many performances, but it can be called a leader in a third-generation and a half-generation tank.
For the airborne divisions currently being airborne and the Marine Corps main battle equipment that is being landed, this main battle tank has more of a threat than any other weapon.
Although the Rhino tank is advanced, it is still a lot different from the Merkava-4, at most it is one level with the Merkava-3, and half a level less than the fourth-generation Merkava.
If these tanks are really dealt with, the Rhino tank will not take advantage of anything at all.
And the Grizzly tank of the airborne division, due to the weight limitation of the airborne, the firepower is okay, the armor is a little thinner, and it cannot withstand the attack of Merkava-4.
Therefore, the vanguard armed warships and planes surrounding the city need to take out these Israeli main battle tanks as much as possible.
In Tel Aviv, the Israeli army has armored hundreds of Merkava-4s, although some of them have been destroyed in previous air strikes, but the rest are still extremely threatening.
At this moment, the city of Tel Aviv is already in the midst of war, and there are battles everywhere.
The airborne troops blossomed everywhere, completely disrupting the Israeli army's defensive deployment in the city, defending on the spot and quickly maneuvering, with special forces and air superiority, the airborne troops quickly established a temporary defensive line in the city.
The defensive line in these cities can not only attract the firepower of the Israeli army, scatter the Israeli army so that it cannot be united, but also can turn defense into attack at any time, and cooperate with the follow-up troops to officially attack all Israeli soldiers in the city.
The strong endurance and bomb load of the Pioneer armed fighter aircraft can provide sufficient fire support and time for troops on the ground.
After successfully covering the first batch of top troops of the airborne division, the airborne field on the ground was also successfully opened, and the main forces of the subsequent airborne division began to parachute down one after another.
This time, most of the main battle equipment of the airborne division was landed in the city.
Wheeled and tracked armored vehicles have landed in the safe landing areas opened up by the paratrooper units, and the airborne troops on the various temporary defense lines are also rapidly expanding in size.
When the last group of airborne troops parachuted down, the more than 10,000 combat personnel of the entire airborne division had all successfully landed in the city.
The fighting in Tel Aviv has also begun to become fierce.
In order to eliminate the paratroopers occupying a large number of key intersections as soon as possible, the IDF is also the main force in and out, trying to disrupt the current situation of division and siege of the city.
It's just that whenever the main Israeli forces come up, they are greeted with ferocious air strikes.
A large number of main battle tanks, before they reached the intersection of the battle, were destroyed by artillery fire from the air.
The Pioneer Armed Fighter can almost be called a tank fighter, and even the 30mm Gaite cannon on it, with depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, can easily penetrate the roof of the main battle tank.
As for armored vehicles and armed assault vehicles, they simply cannot withstand such an air strike.
However, the various individual anti-aircraft missiles of the Israeli ground forces have also brought a lot of trouble to the Vanguard armed warship aircraft.
Almost all the Vanguard armed warships were painted, and the first shell of the aircraft was covered with various craters, and even some attacks penetrated the double-armored fuselage.
However, these air gunboats did not withdraw from the battle, and they had a kind of persistence that they would not leave until they ran out of ammunition.
As a matter of fact, unless a single anti-aircraft missile directly hits the vital part of the vanguard armed warship plane, it will be very difficult to knock down these big guys if it relies on explosion and shrapnel alone.
What's more, the Vanguard armed fighter aircraft also had a large number of decoy bombs, and most of the anti-aircraft missiles all hit the decoy bombs. (To be continued.) )
