MTLNOVEL Chapter 1098: Sincere Cooperation
On the desert plains north of Northern Mukalla, a radar vehicle for the S-300 air defense missile system slowly unfolded.
A few Big Beards jumped off the vehicle and loudly commanded the trucks loaded with missiles behind them to open the tarps on top after the radar vehicle was activated...
At the moment when the radar was powered on and began to rotate, a white radar operator picked up a satellite phone and shouted, "This is 'Catcher 105', radar self-check is normal, waiting for the missile vehicle to dock..."
"Catcher 105, don't rush, illuminate the drone airship in the sky in 15 minutes, and if there's a chance, shoot it down..."
Upon hearing this, the white radar operator shouted, "No problem, but after this mission, you have to settle with me. There are fighters and anti-radiation missiles on the other side, and I want to leave this dreadful place..."
"Catcher 105, act according to the orders, money is not an issue, but only if we win can you safely leave Yemen..."
"FUCK..."
Catcher 105 cursed in frustration, then, after the missile vehicle completed anchoring and preheating, he turned on the radar just in time and activated the automatic attack system...
Then this guy jumped off the radar vehicle, rushed to the back onto a pickup truck, started it, and quickly turned the vehicle around and sped off under the bizarre looks of a group of Big Beards...
The group of Big Beards looked down on Catcher 105's behavior, unaware that he was the truly wise one...
As soon as the air defense missile is launched, a drone will certainly come at you, leaving no chance to even run away then.
However, Catcher 105 clearly underestimated the performance of the drone airship...
As the vehicle-mounted radar scanned, the bottom of the drone airship hovering at an altitude of 5000 meters suddenly cracked open...
Four PL-16 anti-radiation missiles, imitated by Joe Boss, were deployed...
These missiles quickly adjusted their direction during free fall, flying towards four different directions...
...............
In the command room, Qing Shan watched the familiar combat patterns and flight trajectories of those missiles, he turned to look at P·B's drone airship control group...
No one could have guessed that P·B had developed the drone airship to such a degree...
Equipped with anti-radiation missiles, it basically cannot handle countries or organizations with a powerful air force and long-range air defense firepower...
However, these anti-radiation missiles have the autonomous capability to find targets, as long as the drone airship is loaded with a radar warning system, it can activate and use these missiles.
The most interesting part is, these missiles are also effective against fighter jet radars.
The PL-16 missile has a range of 80 kilometers, just slightly more than most of the world's medium-range air defense missiles.
This means that the survival capability of P·B's drone airship is already sufficient to leave 80% of the world's countries at a loss.
This is a typical misalignment strategy of P·B's - being less flexible than those stronger than me, but having stronger strike capabilities than those more flexible than me...
The four anti-radiation missiles produced by Joe Boss were split into four directions, traversing dozens of kilometers, and precisely hitting four radars of different models...
Qing Shan was stunned for a moment, he looked at the positions where the explosions occurred on the electronic map, picked up the radio, and loudly said, "Calling Eagle's Nest, this is Qing Shan, SU-25, Thunder Dragon take off...
We will send you the positions, use cruise missiles to destroy the enemy's hidden air defense positions..."
After saying this, Qing Shan glanced at Donahue on the other side, and said, "All synthetic camps on alert, the enemy's large-scale offensive will come soon..."
Donahue nodded slightly, then raised his hand and said, "I will arrange for a synthetic regiment to move from the east towards the port area in southern Mukalla, to block the movement space of terrorists in the city.
Their main targets must be the port area and airport area..."
The French Major General, due to a lack of strong backing, has always kept a relatively low profile, but this does not mean he doesn't understand military tactics.
Faced with such a situation, the French Major General raised his hand and shouted, "Italian Synthetic Regiment hold the west side, French Regiment advance towards Mukalla, we need to exert pressure on them..."
It's hard for ordinary people to imagine that a few command groups that are fundamentally at odds could actually form a synergy.
Qing Shan, with his keen intuition, seized the opening command authority. The Northern Camp and Yugoyinbot Camp quickly mobilized and deployed defenses around the airport.
Then Donahue followed up, dispatching the Stryker Armored Camp from the general synthetic regiment to the port area for support.
Meanwhile, England's Pickland Armored Camp blocked at the original spot, preventing terrorists and mercenaries from fleeing via the eastern highway.
The French Major General then made a bold decision, letting the French Synthetic Regiment on the west advance towards Mukalla.
Once the enemy shifts their forces to intercept them, the pressure on both the north and south sides will reduce.
If the enemy places their main forces on either the south or north side and insists on attacking, the French camp will easily take a region outside Mukalla City as a forward base.
Everyone is using an open strategy!
Joe Boss's insistence on consolidating the port and airport benefits is now evident; if the enemy wants to attack, they can only go in these two directions.
These senior commanders don't need deliberate communication and utilized the synthetic regiment to complete a defensive counterattack arrangement.
............
Just as the people in the command center completed the deployment, the military airport in the north was bombarded by large-caliber artillery...
Of the three 122mm shells, two landed outside the airport, and one hit the grass beside the airport runway.
The airport is full of old soldiers, Hellhound from Dagger Squad realized something was wrong. He sounded the alarm while pressing the communicator, shouting: "This is Mother Nest No. 2. We've been hit by enemy artillery. Requesting air force support..."
Saying this, Hellhound glanced around and shouted loudly: "Ground staff, head to the underground bunkers...
Lion Squad, get the armored vehicles moving to block the main highway on the perimeter...
Goat and Hammer head east to find cover, Ferryman and Jazz go west, Night Tiger and Dagger head south. Everyone, bring the Springblade...
FUCK, may God spare us from having shells drop on our heads."
While Hellhound was speaking, three more shells landed at the airport. This time they had clearly been adjusted, the three shells precisely hit the airport's runway...
The smoke from the explosion formed a single layer covering a large area, a C-130 that was unloading cargo was hit by shrapnel, and the crew on board carried a blood-covered man down from the plane, scrambling toward the side hangar...
The drawbacks of multifaceted cooperation were becoming apparent at this moment...
The cargo plane unloading was Italian, these guys rushed into the hangar in terror, pulling busy soldiers everywhere for help, making the already tense situation a few degrees more urgent...
'Monkey' rushed forward, knocked down a blood-covered pilot with a gun butt, then shouted to his comrades: "Fire two rounds and retreat. These guys' artillery must be done for.
Loach, check the wounded, everyone else, watch the perimeter heights and the sky...
We need guidance for the artillery, find the opponent's eyes."
Hellhound glanced at Monkey and shouted loudly: "Avenger Air Defense System isn't responding, there must be soldiers guiding the artillery shell impacts on the perimeter...
Take the command vehicle out, there's a ground scanning radar on it..."
Monkey, upon hearing this, decisively said: "You go, we don't know how to use it!"
Saying this, Monkey looked at the sky, muttering to himself: "3 minutes, it's been 3 minutes already..."
As Monkey spoke, a sharp whistling sound came from the sky, followed by a series of massive muffled explosions outside the southern visual range...
...............
When Joe Ga walked into the command center, it was already beginning to boil over...
Unmanned blimps transmitted artillery data back to the command center, then the Nora self-propelled artillery on the Bathtub opened fire for the first time under specialized guidance...
The soundproofing of the Bathtub was really indescribable, after the huge roar, everyone in the command center involuntarily raised their voices...
"Enemy pickup convoy spotted in the northern town of Mother Nest No. 2, their formation is spread out, estimated to reach Mother Nest No. 2 in about 30 minutes...
Recommend deploying drones to strike at the enemy's forward vehicles..."
"A large number of enemies appeared south of Mukalla, they have heavy firepower. Four tanks will bring the dock area under attack range in ten minutes.
Recommend establishing anti-tank positions to intercept them, Griffin squad action..."
"The western city defense is vacant, we need infantry to coordinate combat, 40 minutes, give us 40 minutes, and we can capture a community on the west side..."
Joe Ga could roughly understand these commanders' combat choices, but he had a different thought from them...
Glancing at the bustling command center that looked like a marketplace, Joe Ga picked up an electronic pen, using the red dot to mark the electronic map, then picked up the microphone and loudly said: "Clear the area from B2346 to B2394...
Rocket artillery units prepare to fire immediately, divide up the battlefield for me!"
Joe Ga's words left the many commanders stunned...
Joe Ga's order was very vague, yet the location was very clearly marked...
The area he marked was a blank buffer zone one kilometer wide and six kilometers long, established by P.B. soldiers over the past month.
The people in that area had already been relocated, what's left is a sprawling community at the junction of dilapidated urban and suburban areas...
Over the past month, most counterattacks in Mukalla City were launched from there...
Terrorists and mercenaries attempted to drag P.B. into the mire of urban warfare through guerrilla tactics, but Joe Ga had never regarded them seriously...
When the enemy's assault was officially launched, that area became the primary launch point for the enemy.
All present were major nation commanders, but years of American-led war had deeply rooted counterinsurgency war mode in their minds...
Joe Ga kept emphasizing that the subsequent battles would be the most difficult to handle, and these high-level commanders unconsciously fell into the counterinsurgency mindset, thereby overlooking their own advantages.
Even the clearest-minded Qing Shan hadn't included the low-accuracy rocket artillery into the combat sequence...
Joe Ga looked at the command center that quieted down for a few seconds, spreading his arms and smiling, saying: "I finally managed to get everyone out of there...
In the future, I want to build a fishery market in that area, manpower demolition is too much trouble..."
Qing Shan and many peers exchanged glances, then decisively picked up the radio...
"All aircraft take off for combat, drone control group guide Zumwalt for free attack...
Synthetic camp slow down a bit, wait for rocket artillery strikes to complete..."
