Chapter 189
After learning that Colombia refused peace, Eguar retracted its defense line and withdrew the country’s main forces to the capital, Quito, intending to rely on the terrain to repel the Colombian army’s attack.
From Cayambe to Quito, there is a steep mountainous area with gullies in the middle, which is a bit like the northwest region of Longguo. The river alluvial deposits form a natural barrier, which is why Eguar dares to fight the capital defense war.
They firmly believe that as long as the canyons of the three routes of advance are blocked, no matter how powerful the Colombian armored group is, it will not be able to play a role here.
The road was opened on a steep cliff and is very narrow. Only two cars can pass.
On one side is a deep abyss, and tanks and armor cannot be used here at all.
Cayambe.
As the main force of the westward corps, the 1st Group is strong, but its advancement speed is not as fast as the 2nd Group on the coast and the 3rd Group in the south, which makes the commander, Veron, very dissatisfied.
Especially when he learned that Eguar had abandoned the defense of the outer towns and retreated to the three canyon intersections leading to the capital, he became even more irritable.
At this time, the front-line command
���Long was staring at the battle map, and beside him were the six brigade commanders and a group of staff officers under the group.
But the more he studied, the more solemn his expression became. He also saw the pictures taken by the drone.
That steep canyon was a dead end.
“Commander, a frontal assault is meaningless, it is better to implement the leapfrog tactic!”
Three-Five-Zero raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at the commander of the 1st Light Armored Brigade, Kelly Hammer, who was speaking:”Tell me in detail”
“Yes!”
Kelly Hammer took two steps forward, reached out to pick up the baton, and pointed to the battle map.
“Judging from the drone reconnaissance map, it is undoubtedly difficult to enter Quito by ground means, and even if it is taken, the casualties will be too great.”
“Eguar has mobilized a large number of troops to guard these intersections.
Since it is impossible to break through head-on, let’s change our thinking and use the powerful transportation capacity of the Army Aviation Brigade to force an airdrop to the airport in the enemy city, control the main roads, and achieve a breakthrough in the middle.
Once the enemy learns of this, they will inevitably withdraw their troops from the front line and counterattack, trying to eliminate our troops in the city.
This will cause a reduction in the number of troops at the three intersections.
At this time, we can use reconnaissance and strike drones, or send armed helicopters, or send fighter jets to sweep the fields and quickly annihilate these defenders and open up the main roads.
As long as the roads are opened, with Eguar’s military strength, it will not be able to stop our armored cluster.
”
Veron nodded slightly. This strategy coincided with his thoughts.
But there are some differences.
His strategy of breaking through in the middle is not just to attract the enemy on the front line, but after occupying the airport, through the powerful transportation capacity of the Colombian Air Force, quickly send 2 or 3 brigades of troops to Quito City, directly destroy the enemy center, take down Quito City, and then encircle and annihilate the enemy guarding the intersections with the outer troops.”
“Brigadier General Hammer’s suggestion is very good, but there is a problem. The airborne troops lack heavy weapons and are not numerous. They will definitely encounter a crazy counterattack from the enemy. If the counterattack lasts too long, the airborne troops may be wiped out.”
The commander of the 36th Heavy Armored Brigade, Yurison, said.
Hammer nodded and said,”Indeed, the airborne troops at the airport are under great pressure. Whether they can hold back the enemy’s attack is the key to the success of the operation.”
“The most elite and combat-capable troops need to be dispatched to carry out this mission.”
“”Ahem!”
Peron coughed twice, and the brigade commanders looked at him.
Peron said slowly:”Hammer’s suggestion is very good, but I have improved it. First, use the Army Aviation Brigade to seize the airport. After controlling the airport, immediately contact the Air Force transport plane to implement strategic force deployment. Send 2-3 brigades over. Even if the enemy counterattacks, it will be useless.”
“Commander, isn’t it a bit risky to use strategic transport aircraft to deliver troops? If the enemy fighters and air defense forces attack, it may cause great losses.”
So, we need the air force to destroy the Quito power system and air defense system radar station first. As for the air force you mentioned, there is no need to worry about it. According to the news sent by the headquarters, Eguar currently only has old fighters left, which are not in Quito, but stationed in Guarquilla.”
Hearing that there was no harassment from the air force, everyone felt that Peron’s proposal was highly feasible
“Okay, let’s follow this battle plan.”
“The 5th, 23rd Infantry Brigades and the 51st Combined Arms Brigade prepare to assemble”
“Always ready to board”
“”Yes!”
The three brigade commanders who were called answered in unison.
Soon, several brigades were ready for mobilization.
Perón also urgently contacted the General Staff in Bogota and quickly submitted his combat plan, which was approved soon after.
However, he did not mobilize transport planes because satellite analysis showed that the bombed airport was no longer suitable for emergency takeoff and landing.
In view of this, the General Staff dispatched two Army Aviation Brigades for reinforcement.
One aviation brigade has 48 Black Hawks and 12 Super Stallions, not counting the WZ10 attack helicopters and Apache attack helicopters. Two brigades have 96 Black Hawks and 24 Super Stallions, which can transport more than 2,000 people at the same time. Under load, it is not impossible to transport 3,000 people.
And Cayambe is only 30 kilometers away from Quito. If it is at the front line, the distance is even shorter.
If everything goes well, it will take at most minutes to go there and back.
Of course, this is an ideal state.
There is no interference in the middle, such as no anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft artillery and the like.
It only takes about an hour to transport 2-3 brigades, and the delivery can be completed.
Veron was naturally very happy that the General Staff could send two aviation brigades to join in.
Compared with transport planes, helicopters are undoubtedly better and more effective for this kind of assault operations. Flexibility.
When the transport aircraft is landing, it is very easy to be shot down by the low-altitude air defense system, and the transport aircraft has no ability to fight back.
After determining the strategy.
The General Staff urgently dispatched two aviation brigades to Cayambe to urgently reinforce the 1st Westward Group.
At the same time, the Cali Air Force Base also urgently took off and landed 12 F35A stealth fighters, carrying ground combat missiles and bombs, and formed a formation with a Sharp 16 electronic warfare aircraft and a KJ-500 early warning aircraft, flying towards Quito.
The fighter formation quickly arrived at the combat airspace.
The Sharp 16 electronic warfare aircraft began to implement electromagnetic interference, and electromagnetically suppressed and destroyed the radar and communication systems in the center of Quito.
In less than a moment, it was successfully suppressed.
After learning that the Sharp 16D electronic warfare aircraft successfully suppressed the enemy’s radar and communication systems.
The F35A stealth fighter, through the data link transmitted by the KJ-500 early warning aircraft, carried out targeted elimination of the Quito power plant and air defense missile system.
“”Swoosh!!”
One after another, air-to-ground missiles quickly landed from the F35A warehouse and flew quickly towards the target.
Quito.
At this time, the Ecuadorian military was in chaos.
All ground radar stations were out of control, and some circuit boards were burned.
Before they could figure out what was going on, the F35A stealth fighter launched missiles.
“boom!”
“”Boom!”
The explosion sounded in Ecuador City instantly.
Ecuador, which was attacked by air strikes, had to sound the air defense alarm. The shrill alarm sounded in the city, causing many civilians to panic. After destroying more than a dozen military targets, the fighter formation withdrew…….
Located in the Cayambe area.
The 51st Combined Brigade is boarding the plane urgently. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
One by one, the soldiers lined up and boarded the Black Hawk general-purpose helicopter and the CH-53 Super Stallion transport helicopter.
“”Go!! Go!!”
The wings of the helicopter turned rapidly, blowing the grass and soil on the ground, and then slowly rose into the air. After reaching a certain height, it quickly headed towards the center of Quito. It did not rush directly there, but took advantage of the canyon terrain to conduct a low-altitude raid along the river.
In this way, even if there are residual ground radars, it is impossible to detect it.
Secondly, there are no garrisons guarding the canyon river, after all, it is impossible to get through.
However, what they don’t know is that it is a complete air-ground coordinated operation.
Not to mention Eguar, even the distant Dragon Country at this time is still emphasizing the steel torrent and air-ground coordinated operations. The United States is undoubtedly doing the best.
However, in this life, because of Louis’s accident, Columbia is obviously doing the best.
Flying low along the valley, it quickly raided the city’s extension.
It also means that the valley is gone.
It is impossible to hide your body, in this case.
The helicopter formation increased its horsepower and rushed to the airport.
On the ground
“Da da da!!”
Some anti-aircraft machine guns and cannons opened fire, and anti-aircraft missiles were also aimed at[]
Faced with this situation, the helicopter quickly launched decoy bombs.
At the same time, the leading Apache helicopter opened fire.
“”Swish, swish, swish!”
Rockets were quickly fired, directly carrying out a saturation attack on the air defense positions.
“”Boom!”
An air defense position was blown up and fell.
It was silenced instantly.
Under the powerful firepower output, anyone who dared to show up would be covered with firepower.
Not long after, the formation rushed directly into the civil airport in the city.
The Z-10 and Apache were on alert in the air, and the Black Hawk and CH-53 Super Stallion transport helicopters began to land.
After landing smoothly on the ground, the soldiers of the 51st Combined Brigade got off the helicopter one by one.
Then they moved forward in a three-three combat system, destroyed the airport, and the Ecuadorian army quickly seized the airport.
The helicopter formation quickly took off and flew directly at high altitude.
Now that it has been exposed, there is naturally no need to fly at a low altitude of 3.5.
What’s more, flying at high altitude, ordinary anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery cannot reach it.
Ecuador
Presidential Palace
“What? A Colombian military helicopter landed at the airport?”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
“Not good!” Rodrigo’s face changed drastically:”The enemy is trying to seize the airport to facilitate their deployment of troops.”
“Quick, let the military urgently dispatch troops to the airport. Make sure to annihilate the enemy at the airport and take back control of the airport.”
Without Rodrigo’s reminder, the Ecuadorian military had already realized that something was wrong and quickly dispatched more than 10,000 people from the front line, intending to wipe out the airborne enemy.
The helicopter formation also returned to Cayambe.
At the command center, Veron had already known the enemy’s movements through the images sent back by the drone.
Seeing the large black mass rushing back to Quito City.
There were at least 10,000 of them.
Veron’s expression became solemn:”Quick, let the Army Aviation Brigade be quick and send all the troops to the airport as soon as possible.”
“Got it!”
The communicator quickly passed on Peron’s order to the Army Aviation Brigade, and then quickly reinforced the airport.
“Da da da!!!”
Seeing the Army Aviation Brigade coming again, the ground anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire crazily.
They wanted to shoot down the helicopter.
(P.S., with a topographic map, you can see how difficult it is to fight！）
