107: The Red Team’s headquarters was taken down and the actual combat confrontation ended!
Attack Helicopter-10?
Yes!
Why didn't we see the Attack Helicopter-10 during the engagement between the 79A tank cluster and the Soviet Union paratroopers?
While everyone was still shocked by the combat spirit and military soul displayed by the Dragon Country army and its soldiers!
A gasp about the Attack Helicopter-10 suddenly woke everyone up!
The Dragon Country army has never forgotten the heavy burden on its shoulders, and has never stopped its desire for victory!
The ground breakout force was merely a feint!
And the dozens of Attack Helicopter-10 clusters that broke out and left in the air immediately after the nuclear explosion were the Dragon Country army's final trump card!
After suffering a tactical nuclear warhead strike, the 2,000 surviving tactical troops successfully attracted the attention of the "Red Team" with their blood and flesh!
They successfully held up the "Red Team" for an entire day!
Now, it's up to the Attack Helicopter-10 cluster to counterattack!
On the electronic sand table, the remaining 20-odd Attack Helicopter-10s of the Blue Team suddenly gathered, flying at ultra-low altitude to avoid radar detection, and rapidly advanced through the gaps in the coniferous forest.
After eight consecutive hours of surprise attacks, the Attack Helicopter-10 finally approached the "Red Team's" operational command headquarters!
When the Blue Team defeated the central assault cluster and captured their commander, Lieutenant General Andrei, they obtained a large amount of intelligence and operational maps.
From these, they learned the location of the "Red Team's" operational command headquarters.
Originally, according to the plan of the "Blue Team" commander, Army Commander Sun Yi, their next step was to launch a surprise attack on the southern covering forces, to eliminate the "Red Team's" long-range fire support and tactical nuclear missile units.
But who knew that the Soviet Union army would also be so decisive, directly launching a tactical nuclear strike!
Even the "Blue Team's" field command vehicle and Army Commander Sun Yi were "sacrificed" in the nuclear explosion!
In this desperate situation, the remaining ground forces quickly reorganized their firepower!
The severely damaged remnants of the combined battalions were incorporated into other battalions to form new assault clusters, maintaining armored assault capabilities!
They would attract fire head-on and engage the enemy!
At the same time, they would let the Attack Helicopter-10 launch a surprise attack on the enemy's general headquarters!
On the electronic sand table, the Attack Helicopter-10 fleet adopted a "wolf pack tactic," with twin aircraft formations spaced 500 meters apart, and the "Tianyan" air-to-air missiles and "Red Arrow-3" anti-tank missiles mounted on the stub wings completed their warm-up!
Although there were SA-8 air defense systems on the periphery of the Red Team's headquarters!
However, during the hasty startup, they were instantly jammed and locked by electronic warfare helicopters, rendering them ineffective!
The Attack Helicopter-10s salvoed missiles from 5 kilometers away, and the headquarters was instantly covered by explosion markers, with communication nodes and command vehicles paralyzed by precision strikes, and the Red Team's command system completely disintegrated!
At this stage of the war, the "Blue Team" forces, composed of heavy combined brigades, Mengshi light combined brigades, and army aviation brigades, were no different from being completely annihilated!
However, the Attack Helicopter-10 cluster treated this live-fire confrontation exercise as a real war!
Although they didn't know if taking out the opponent's general headquarters would count as a victory in the confrontation exercise!
But they hoped to make a final effort for the country before being "sacrificed" and running out of weapons and ammunition!
That was to completely disintegrate the "Red Team's" command system, to buy time for the country and for the counterattack!
After firing their last remaining missiles, the 20-odd Attack Helicopter-10 clusters charged towards the "Red Team's" general headquarters!
Without the "Tianyan" air-to-air missiles and "Red Arrow-3" anti-tank missiles, they would use 23mm autocannons to fire!
Until the very last moment of the battle!
"The last few dozen Attack Helicopter-10 pilots and crew members of the 'Blue Team' used their lives as torches, becoming the last 'shells' in this war!"
Prince Khalid gazed at the map, muttering to himself.
At this moment, on the electronic map and sand table, all the blue dots representing the "Blue Team" had completely disappeared!
Clearly, the "Red-Blue Live-Fire Confrontation Military Exercise" had ended!
This "war," which had been the focus of major countries around the world, had ended!
"Can the destruction of the 'Red Team's' operational command headquarters be declared a 'Blue Team' victory?"
The USA's White House National Security Advisor looked at the Soviet Union's Minister of Defense and quickly asked him.
Now, this was his primary focus!
The Soviet Union was the undisputed world's number one military power!
If the Soviet Union's Ministry of Defense could be made to admit defeat in this "Red-Blue Live-Fire Confrontation Military Exercise," it would undoubtedly have a profound impact on the Soviet Union's global influence and military deterrence!
Therefore, the USA was even more concerned about the outcome of this live-fire confrontation exercise than Dragon Country!
"All Blue Team forces have been annihilated. Although our 'Red Team's' operational command headquarters is paralyzed, the Northern Assault Group and the Southern Covering Forces both have sound command systems and vital forces. How can that be considered a 'Red Team' defeat?"
"Our 'Red Team' forces can also fight to the last soldier!"
General Ivanovych, the Soviet Union's Minister of Defense, spoke with a serious expression, sternly refuting the USA's White House National Security Advisor's statement.
"If any country or military alliance has other ideas, they can send troops for a live-fire confrontation exercise. Our Soviet Union warriors fear no challenge!"
General Ivanovych, the Soviet Union's Minister of Defense, spoke with an excited expression, his finger heavily tapping the table as he scanned the surroundings.
He emphasized that although the Soviet Union army had suffered setbacks, the nuclear strike and airborne tactics validated the ultimate deterrent power of the "steel torrent"!
He also hinted that NATO would similarly be unable to withstand such tactics!
"The destruction of the command center is equivalent to 'decapitation,' which is a rule of modern warfare!"
The White House National Security Advisor sneered in rebuttal.
He deliberately raised his voice to attract the attention of observers from various countries, intending to weaken the global deterrence of the Soviet Union's "nuclear deterrent myth."
Their gazes were like knives; one side wanted to maintain the dignity of a superpower, while the other sought to seize the opportunity to dismantle the opponent's strategic deterrence!
In this situation, NATO, the Warsaw Pact, and the Third World countries all simultaneously looked at Peng Lin.
In this situation, Dragon Country would also inevitably need to make a statement!
Because as the "Blue Team" forces, Dragon Country absolutely possessed sufficiently important speaking rights!
"The exercise is over. The Dragon Country forces will immediately rest and return home!"
Peng Lin did not comment on the outcome of the exercise, but instead changed the subject.
The USA and NATO wanted to use Dragon Country as a pawn, pushing Dragon Country to the forefront to confront the Soviet Union. Peng Lin was naturally not that foolish!
With the battle having progressed to this extent, in Peng Lin's eyes, every one of the 12,000 participating soldiers was a hero and a victor!
The outcome of this military exercise was no longer that important!
Moreover, the dignity of a superpower was absolutely not to be trifled with!
Although this military exercise made Dragon Country's mechanized forces famous in one battle, gaining almost real-world tempering and training!
It also severely exposed Dragon Country's national strength and serious deficiencies in strategic power!
For example, the Soviet Union could actually threaten Dragon Country's forces with nuclear strikes at will!
This was absolutely intolerable to Peng Lin!
Even in a military exercise, such an action was the most serious provocation to the dignity of a nation!
After this military exercise, the international situation was bound to be turbulent, and Dragon Country would even be at the center of the storm!
It would be watched by the USA, the Soviet Union, NATO, the Warsaw Pact, and various Third World countries!
It was time for Dragon Country to play its trump card, the Dongfeng-6 intercontinental missile!
This would be Dragon Country's calling card to become a strategic nuclear power!
