The 668th chapter captures the island (3)

Compared with the smooth sailing of Zhongye Island, the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion of the 1st Land Warfare Brigade encountered the tenacious resistance of the Vietnamese army. Under the guidance of the aerial piercing reconnaissance aircraft and the Shadow Reconnaissance aircraft, two 054A-class frigate guns were detained to clear key targets on Nanwei Island. The maximum range of the 76mm naval gun on the 054A ship was close to 20 kilometers. It had high accuracy in shooting on the sea surface 10 kilometers away, and it quickly destroyed the predetermined target.

Considering that the island had to be stationed on the island after the capture of the island, the navy did not forcibly destroy the island's housing and other buildings. The facts soon proved that this tactical decision laid a huge hidden danger for the landing combat troops.

After the shelling target was completed, the entire landing battle started from the north. Six Wuzhi 19 armed helicopters protected two eel-class air hovercraft and a bison-class heavy hovercraft, preparing to land through the northwest corner. There was a 5,000-ton dock established by the Vietnamese army in the northeast. Seizing and protecting the improvement of dock facilities is one of the main tasks of landing operations.

Because seizing the island is only the first step, and the next step is to build Nanwei Island so that it can become a qualified air force base, not only combat ships are coming with the entire fleet, but also two 5,000-ton transport ships, full of construction materials and engineering personnel.

The two eel-class hoverboats carried one 63A amphibious assault tank and 100 Marines respectively, while the Bison-class heavy hoverboats carried three 63A and 200 Marines, which was equivalent to investing in a reinforcement battalion at one time for a beach attack.

This force, combined with the support of 6 armed helicopters in the air and 2 054 frigate guns, should be said to be strong enough after destroying the main heavy weapon defense points on the Vietnamese island. According to the results of previous shadow reconnaissance, the Vietnamese army only had two SA-2 air defense missile positions on the island, and had been destroyed by naval guns in the first round of attack.

Under the leadership of the squadron leader Lieutenant Colonel Yu Jianhui, the six armed helicopters maintained the same speed as the landing hoverboat and rushed to Nanwei Island. A distance of 10 kilometers under the hoverboat with a speed of up to 50 knots, that is, a distance of 6 or 7 minutes, the attacking team quickly approached 1 kilometer of Nanwei Island, and the Vietnamese army did not respond during this period.

As he was about to arrive at his destination calmly, Lieutenant Colonel Yu Jianhui could even clearly see the green coconuts on Nanwei Island. Faced with this unusual and strange situation, Yu Jianhui couldn't help but feel a sense of danger in his heart. According to the pre-reconnaissance, there were at least 500 defenders on the island. According to general reasoning, the Vietnamese army could not easily give up defense. Although the artillery bombardment in front destroyed some of the Vietnamese fortifications, it was impossible to capture the Vietnamese army in one place.

Keeping so calm at the moment, there must be major plans behind it. Thinking of this, Yu Jianhui felt a stern, "All aircraft should be careful, disperse immediately, pay attention to the enemy's air defense weapon attack!" The current formation is too dense, and the distance between them is seriously insufficient in the face of the dense attack of the enemy's rocket launcher.

As soon as Yu Jianhui finished speaking, a fire suddenly appeared in several houses on the island, and then several rockets roared at Yu Jianhui's helicopter squadron!

The ambush was in! Yu Jianhui was raising and avoiding it sharply, and this idea came up. Fortunately, he reminded him early that the six helicopters were just dispersing quickly, and the first batch of six rockets were successfully avoided by everyone. The dexterity of the Martial Arts 19 gave it a great advantage in avoiding attacks of non-guided weapons such as rockets.

The six Wuzhi 19 helicopters that avoided the opponent's attack were all experienced veteran pilots. They quickly aimed at the place where the rockets were attacked and attacked. Several small buildings were quickly hit and smoke came out. Although they successfully repelled this round of Vietnamese attacks, Yu Jianhui not only did not relax, but felt that the danger became even stronger.

"Sea Eagle Call Command Center, we are attacked by the Vietnamese Army Bazooka!" Yu Jianhui no longer hesitated. He picked up the caller and started calling for fire support. "The attack came from the small buildings on the island. We suspect that the Vietnamese army had been lurking in the buildings on the island to wait for an opportunity to launch an attack, requesting naval gun support, and destroying all the Vietnamese buildings on the island!"

At this moment, Yu Jianhui didn't know that in a small building not far away, there was a needle-S air defense missile aiming at him. Although the second lieutenant of the Vietnamese army, Ruan Zhiwu had sharp ears and monkey cheeks, he was indeed one of the best players among the nearly 600 soldiers on Nanwei Island when using the needle-S air defense missile. At this moment, there were a total of two needle-S air defense missile launch devices on the island, one of which was in the hands of Ruan Zhiwu.

He hid beside the window of a small building on the island, carrying a needle-S air defense missile constantly moving with Yu Jianhui's helicopter. When the helicopter was locked in the scope, Ruan Zhiwu pulled the trigger without hesitation. The needle-S air defense missile spit out a long tongue and rushed towards Yu Jianhui's helicopter. The tail flame directly ignited the window of the small building where Ruan Zhiwu was. Ruan Zhiwu was so scared that he drifted out of the house.

"Boss, an air defense missile is coming!" Yu Jianhui's wingman shouted at the incoming missile, then turned the nose and began to fire violently towards the place where the smoke had just been emitted. The 23mm cannon directly knocked Ruan Zhiwu who had just been hiding into a ball of blood mist, but Yu Jianhui was directly hit by the incoming needle-S air defense missile and unfortunately died.

"Seahawk Call Command Center, we were attacked by air defense missiles!" The captain of the wingman who replaced Yu Jianhui's command, called out, "Repeat, we were attacked by air defense missiles, and 01 was hit!"

On the Jinggangshan, Colonel Duan Tianlei, the captain who was responsible for commanding the entire landing operation, heard the combat report of the helicopter squadron and did not hesitate in the face of heavy losses. "Order! No. 572 and No. 574 immediately shelled the buildings on the Vietnamese island of Nanwei! Be sure to destroy all buildings! The reconnaissance squadron set up another Wing Dragon drone for reconnaissance and battlefield guidance."

Soon, a Wingshound drone appeared on the wide deck of Jinggangshan, which took off lightly and flew to Nanwei Island 10 kilometers away.

"The attack helicopter squadron temporarily retreated 2 kilometers to provide air cover for the landing craft!" After issuing the shelling order, Colonel Duan Tianlei continued to order that it was the critical moment for the landing craft to land. Duan Tianlei did not dare to recall the armed helicopter squadron directly, and could only retreat for a distance to provide air fire support for the landing craft.

Three landing crafts hit the dock, and the bison-class heavy air hoverboat opened the landing cabin first. Three 63A water and land tanks immediately came out one after another, boarded the coast of Nanwei Island, lined up in a straight line, and the muzzles kept furying, and began to attack the Vietnamese buildings ahead. Then the two eel-class 63As also came ashore, and they lined up side by side with the three vehicles that had previously landed, forming a steel line of defense.
