Chapter 422 Thermal Lure Bomb

After arriving at Namanti, we disembarked, changed to a truck, took off our equipment, and went out for reconnaissance in casual clothes to discover the location of the airport and confirm the presence of fighter jets.

A series of moves were made with luck, and it took the Dongfeng Corps less than two hours to complete them all.

This was due to the amazing horsepower of the small fishing boat, and of course Chen Chen's precise insight.

In fact, when they had just entered Namanti and were still 5 kilometers away from Mogao, early reconnaissance activities had already begun.

Although they didn't understand the local language, they still determined from the communication with the store owner that there were frequent aircraft activities around Mogang, and based on the direction of the aircraft's flight, they roughly defined the scope of the airport.

Therefore, they didn't waste a minute after arriving in Mogang. Instead, they drove the truck with a covered back stolen from the mining factory in the intended direction. They got off the car and entered the jungle before approaching the airport and entering the warning area. Observation posts were established from high altitudes.

At this time, what appeared in front of Chen Chen was an extremely crude airport.

There are only two unpaved runways and six hangars made of colored steel. The lights used to guide takeoff and landing are obviously temporary installations, and some are even ordinary street lights.

Don't talk about ground support, support, and machinery. Of course these things exist, but they just exist.

If Chen Chen hadn't already been mentally prepared, it would be hard for him to imagine that from such an airport, a propeller fighter jet that could influence the entire Pubei war actually flew out.

——

But thinking about it from another perspective, this seems to be a normal situation.

After all, there is still a big functional gap between wartime airports and standing airports. The latter requires ensuring the aircraft's continued combat capabilities, maintenance capabilities, and overhaul capabilities, but the former requires only one thing:

Let the plane fly and hit.

It has to be said that the sensitivity of Lao America to war is really not something that some wild people can touch.

If Da Ying were to handle this matter, they would most likely have to let the excavator enter the site first, open up an airport where you can have afternoon tea, and then let the aircraft go on the runway for testing.

By the time they were ready, let alone fighting, the day lily would be cold.

On the contrary, the old and American idea of ​​"use it when it comes, replace it if it doesn't work" is the most suitable for Pubei's situation.

There are experts at the airport.

Chen Chen moved the telescope and then said:

"The distance is 2.4 kilometers, completely within the detection range of the Qianfang-2 seeker."

"But the problem is that the aircraft basically has no infrared signal when it is not activated, so it is basically impossible to hit it."

"We need to wait until they get started before we start."

"We are facing the take-off runway. At low speed and low altitude, it is not difficult to hit accurately."

"Just wait now. Qingshuihe's attack will start soon. They should all be dispatched this time. Our chance will come soon."

"clear."

All members of the team responded in turn, quickly found their positions, and entered a hidden state.

After everything was ready, Lin He stared at the runway at the foot of the mountain and said with some emotion:

"If I had known better, I would have brought some rocket launchers, recoilless rifles or mortars."

"At this distance, I feel that the missile's effect is a bit useless."

After hearing his words, Chen Chen shook his head helplessly and explained:

"The maximum range of individual rockets is only about 400 meters. The recoilless rifle can hit 1,500 meters, but to reach 3,000 meters, you have to use extended-range rockets."

"The 60-meter knockdown is barely touchable, but at this distance, accuracy is difficult to guarantee. If the first shot misses and the position is exposed, it will be difficult for us to launch a new attack."

"Don't forget, they have anti-artillery radar. How could such an important place like the airport not be prepared at all?"

"Unless we bring the 120 force over - but how to transport that thing is a huge problem."

After Chen Chen finished speaking, Lin He nodded thoughtfully.

He originally thought that Chen Chen was not thinking carefully about the equipment configuration this time, but now it seems that it is himself who is not thinking carefully.

After eliminating all impossible factors, using man-portable air defense missiles to intercept during the take-off phase is indeed the only option, and it is also the safest and most stable option.

The battlefield is ever-changing, and the difference between victory and defeat is indeed made up of small details.

He silently recorded this "lesson" in his heart, and at this moment, at the airport in the distance, an unexpected "change" suddenly occurred in the Dongfeng Corps.

Two large trucks drove into the airport, and the ground staff quickly stepped forward to respond. Then, after the trucks stopped, everyone began to move boxes of things to the ground one by one.

From this distance, he couldn't see clearly what those people were moving, so he had to turn to Chen Chen and ask:

"Captain, what are they doing?"

Chen Chen frowned and shook his head. At this time, he had no answer in his heart.

"Maybe just regular supplies?"

"I don't know. I can't see anything unusual from their actions. Let's take a closer look."

"clear."

Lin He asked no more questions, and soon after, the ground staff at the airport had opened the box, and as the contents were distributed one by one to the soldiers stationed at the airport, Chen Chen's face became more and more confused.

The things in their hands looked like grenades.

But the question is, what kind of method is it to send grenades to the airport garrison at this time?

Chen Chen really wanted to call and ask them what they were doing. Could it be that they still thought that someone would organize a large-scale light infantry attack on the airport and that they needed to use rifle grenades to strengthen the defense?

Isn't this too outrageous? ——

However, within two minutes, Chen Chen's question was answered.

As a special M2 armored vehicle drove into the airport, Chen Chen could see at a glance what was different about the two armored vehicles.

It is a support armored vehicle.

Its turret not only has a smoke launcher, but also two 73mm flare launchers!

What are flares?

If it's in the air, it's a heat bomb!

At this moment, Chen Chen almost felt like his scalp was numb.

Because he knew that his actions had been guessed.

The opponent may not know that they are already staring at them on the hillside, but they must have predicted the Dongfeng Corps' possible attack on the airport!

Those boxes contained not grenades, but flares fired from a grenade launcher!

Their plane is about to make a transition maneuver, and before taking off, they need to use thermal decoys to lay out a decoy wall to prevent possible sneak attacks by portable air defense missiles!

So cautious. They really are.

It's a perfect plan.

"Call a helicopter."

Chen Chen spoke decisively and then continued:

"They have no flaws."

"You have to risk your life."
