"Well done!" Even Peng Jiasheng couldn't help but praise them. Even for him, it was the first time that he felt the pleasure of bombing a target with an air-to-ground missile from an armed helicopter.
Peng Jiasheng had experienced a lot of gunfire and artillery fire in his life. He had killed people with a pistol, an old bolt-action rifle, a grenade, and a buried mine. He had even used a rocket launcher to attack enemy tanks and gunboats, but he had never experienced the feeling of being bombarded from the air with a precise air-to-ground missile.
After receiving Peng Jiasheng's praise, several retired Soviet soldiers, who were eager for fun, immediately shouted in their native language excitedly and circled the sky over Bhamo in their Hind, making a dive from time to time. The four-barreled Gatling heavy machine gun on the front of the nose of the aircraft fired a series of long bursts, which always killed a lot of government soldiers.
Although the government soldiers also used RPGs to attack the Hind that was wreaking havoc in the sky, in front of the Russians who wanted to turn the Hind into a MiG-27, these RPGs that could only shoot in a straight line were obviously helpless against the Hind.
On the contrary, the attack on the ground also aroused the anger of these old Russians. As long as they found a target in the air that could be attacked, within ten seconds, an S-24 rocket would hit the target accurately. Within a few minutes, more than a dozen military vehicles had been cleanly killed by this Hind.
The importance of air supremacy was fully demonstrated at this moment. With such a Hind, the government forces had almost no ability to fight back. The effect of a Hind was even greater than that of a 2,000-strong Kachin Army.
Within a dozen minutes, the area controlled by the government forces was in complete chaos. Countless government soldiers were running around shouting, regretting that their parents had not given them two more legs.
The chaos in Bhamo city also gave the commander of the Kachin Army an opportunity. At the same time that the female deer left the battlefield, several Kachin Army troops quickly set out from Bhamo Airport and quickly launched an attack along the streets and alleys of Bhamo towards the area controlled by the government forces.
The government troops, who had been tortured to death by the doe, had no will to resist at this time? After losing the Bhamo Airport, the government troops stationed in Bhamo had already lost their resolve to resist. Now even the highest military commander had been killed in the explosion. How could these government soldiers, who had only put down their hoes and put on military uniforms for a few months at most, resist the ferocious Kachin Army?
The battle was almost one-sided. After most of the day's fighting until nightfall, the Kachin Army, which had only occupied the Bhamo Airport in the northeast of Bhamo City, unexpectedly took over most of Bhamo City in one fell swoop and confronted the remaining government troops across the Stilwell Road in Bhamo City.
Outside the city, countless government soldiers abandoned their weapons and retreated to the west. In fact, at this point, it was only a matter of time before Bhamo was captured.
In the evening, Peng Jiasheng entertained the pilots and weapon system officers of the two Gazelle aircrafts. Although only one Gazelle was deployed today, the power of this one Gazelle was enough to surprise Peng Jiasheng.
Compared with the poor Mi-2 helicopters of the Myanmar government army, although the Hind is a younger generation, it is far from comparable to the outdated Mi-2 helicopter.
Although the Mi-2 helicopter is also known as an armed helicopter, it only carries unguided rockets, which are almost equivalent to RPG individual rocket launchers. How can such unguided rockets compare with the 9M17-Phalanga air-to-ground missiles on the Hind?
It is no exaggeration to say that with the combat capability demonstrated by the Gazelle, one Gazelle can even fight against three to four Mi-2s alone.
With these two Hinds, the Kachin Army will not have to worry about air superiority for the next ten years.
Yang Jing was also amazed at the combat effectiveness displayed by the Hind. As expected, this kind of modern armed helicopter was indeed not something that could be resisted by human power. Unless dozens of RPGs were gathered together to concentrate their fire, perhaps the Hind could be shot down. Otherwise, with the government forces' weak combat effectiveness, it would be really difficult to shoot down these two Hinds.
The next morning, Yang Jing planned to bid farewell to Peng Jiasheng and leave. There was no point in staying here any longer. According to the current situation, the Kachin Army would be able to completely recapture Bhamo in a week at most. By then, the jadeite produced in Wuma Field could be continuously transported to Ruili via the Stilwell Road.
He had to leave here early, and then take Pete Wu to Ruili and find a place to build a warehouse in Ruili, or simply find a good way of transportation in Ruili and send these jadeite raw stones directly to Yanjing.
Although one can put his mind at ease once the jadeite raw stone arrives in Ruili, everything needs to be arranged in advance in Ruili. From customs to warehouse to transportation, it is all a headache.
Ruili in the mid-1980s was not like Ruili 30 years later. There were no expressways or railways, and even National Highway 320 was a difficult road to travel. The nearest airport to Ruili, Mangshi Airport, was not completed and opened to traffic until 1990. Now it was very difficult to transport thousands of tons of jadeite raw stones to Yanjing every year.
Yang Jing stood at the airport, somewhat bored, watching Peng Jiasheng mobilizing the soldiers who were preparing to attack. He could only say goodbye to the Kokang King after Peng Jiasheng finished speaking.
Yang Jingdong, who had nothing to do, looked around and his sight inevitably fell on the solitary mountain on the north bank of the Taiping River.
