Chapter 349: Taking over the Balku Oil Field, Hilt's complex emotions
The third phase of the operation was led by the 150th Heavy Combined Armored Brigade of the 151th Army, with the 152st, 153nd and rd Medium Combined Armored Brigades covering its left and right wings.
The 157th Air Assault Brigade leaped from the air to the weak area behind the enemy and launched an attack from behind the enemy together with the 161st Special Operations Brigade.
The 160th Artillery Brigade and the 12th Long-Range Rocket Artillery Brigade are responsible for long-range artillery support.
The artillery of the four combined brigades is responsible for close-range artillery support, and each unit has a clear division of labor.
The Air Force also mobilized more than 200 third-generation fighter jets to participate in the war.
At present, the third-generation fighter system of the ancient country’s air force has also been fixed.
It is mainly composed of the F-15E Strike Eagle two-seat fighter and the F-16C multi-purpose fighter to form a high-low combination.
The A-10 Warthog attack aircraft serves as the leader of the single ground-to-ground aircraft type.
The AC-130 gunship is also considered a type of ground attack aircraft.
Currently, the ancient country's air force is only equipped with these two types of attack missiles.
The transport aircraft system consists of C-130 tactical transport aircraft, C-17 strategic transport aircraft, C-5 Galaxy strategic transport aircraft and An-225 strategic transport aircraft.
As for the An-22 strategic transport aircraft that were previously equipped, they will be retired.
The An-225 strategic transport aircraft has very high requirements for airports and is not used in many places, so the Air Force is only equipped with a squadron of 12 of this super strategic transport aircraft.

Three of the Soviet bombers will undergo major modifications, that is, modernization upgrades.
This work is currently underway.
The main content of the modernization upgrade is to replace the power system and upgrade the avionics.
Soviet fighter jets have two shortcomings: one is the short engine life, and the other is the backward avionics.
But if they are equipped with advanced American engines and advanced avionics, the powerful combat capabilities of these Soviet fighters will be fully unleashed.
The combination of the two is definitely 1+1 greater than 2.
In addition, there are electronic warfare aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, patrol aircraft, aerial refueling aircraft, early warning aircraft, drones, etc.
They will all be replaced with the most advanced models, and the cost of replacement will be borne entirely by the Red Alert Base.
Currently, the Red Alert Base collects more than one billion yuan in funds every year. Taking into account the savings accumulated over the years, it has almost 50 billion yuan in deposits.
This money was also accumulated by Jiang Hua for fighting this world war, and it has come in handy at this time.
When the offensive began, the Air Force and Artillery were responsible for the first wave of attacks.
Hundreds of fighter jets launched precision air strikes, aiming to destroy high-value targets such as the Tsarist Russian army's command centers, radar stations, arsenals, and airports as soon as possible.
The 12th Long-Range Rocket Brigade, which has long-range strike capabilities, is responsible for attacking troop concentrations and barracks deep in the Russian territory.
The long-range rocket brigade is a new organization of the group army, equipped with BM-30 Tornado long-range rocket launchers.
This rocket launcher has 12 300mm launch tubes and can reach a range of 70 kilometers when using long-range ammunition.
Mainly responsible for artillery strikes in the range of 30-70 kilometers.
The brigade has three battalions under its command, equipped with a total of 27 BM-30 Tornado rocket launchers, which can fire 324 300mm caliber rockets in a single salvo with an error of within 200 meters.
Unfortunately, the various types of rocket launchers at Todai have not been unlocked yet.
Otherwise, Jiang Hua would still prefer the rocket launcher of Dongda University.
With the development of the joint air-ground integrated strike system, the Tsarist Russian troops on the border suffered a severe blow.
Not only are there a large number of aerial bombs, rockets, artillery shells, and missiles, but they are also very accurate.
The Tsarist Russian troops suffered heavy casualties due to being caught off guard.
The command center was also destroyed in the first time, and the more than 80,000 Tsarist Russian troops on the entire front line were in chaos.
After three days of air strikes and artillery bombardment, the Tsarist Russian side suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
They built a large number of underground fortifications on the border, and it was precisely because so many Tsarist Russians hid in the fortifications that the casualties were so small.
Otherwise, the air raid over these three days would have killed or injured at least 2 people.
The Air Force is not without solutions to this situation.
在第四天、第五天的空袭当中，空军F-15战机和F-16战机以携带温压弹为主，图-22M3逆火战略轰炸机以携带2吨级的半主动激光制导钻地炸弹为主。
Thermobaric bombs are specifically used to deal with this type of underground fortifications and can be very effective in confined spaces.
As for the GBU-28 laser-guided bunker buster, it is used to destroy their underground defense system.
Thermobaric bombs and laser-guided bunker-buster bombs were thrown down as if they were free.
With the ammunition supply from the Zhongsha sub-base, the front-line troops do not have to worry about the cost and quantity issues. Even if one ammunition is given to each of the tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops, it is not a problem at all.
In the base's economic system, the bigger the item, the more expensive it is, and the sophistication of the weapon only accounts for a small part of the price.
The total cost of 500 thermobaric bombs and laser bombs is only more than million, which means only about per bomb is needed on average.
The base now has a daily income starting at 10 million, and it only took two days to save up the funds needed for this batch of ammunition.
As the saying goes, great strength works miracles. The bunker-buster bomb had a huge destructive effect on the underground defense system of Tsarist Russia.
A large number of interconnected underground fortifications were cut off, and coupled with the failure of the command system, these tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops had become a mess.
At this time, Persia came to join in the fun.
The Persian Defense Forces will send 5 divisions with 7 people to assist the th Army in the battle.
Persia also wanted to show off in front of the ancient country.
The Persian National Defense Force has a large number of instructors from the ancient country, and the ancient country is well aware of the combat effectiveness of this force.
So we simply included it in the main attack force.
It's just right to let Persia do all the dirty work.
As one of the disciples of the ancient country's national defense army, the combat effectiveness demonstrated by the Persian National Defense Army is basically up to standard.
In addition, due to the century-long feud between Persia and Tsarist Russia, the combat effectiveness was added with another layer of BUFF, which took it to a higher level.
More than 7 Persian troops fought extremely fiercely on the front line.
Plus the 157th Air Assault Brigade and the 161st Special Operations Brigade that attacked from behind.
The scattered Tsarist Russian troops were being quickly wiped out.
In just ten days, the ancient country successfully wiped out the Tsarist Russian army and connected the Baku oil field area with Persia.
The loss of the Baku oil fields was extremely fatal to the more than 200,000 Tsarist Russian troops in the Caucasus Mountains.
Because this also means that they are caught in a pincer attack from the ancient country, Hans and Persia.
Without the Baku oil fields, there was no point in continuing to defend the Caucasus Mountains.
In order to preserve some strength, the Caucasian troops began to retreat northward.
They will retreat to the Volga region and strengthen the defense of the Volga region.
The Old Kingdom's Wehrmacht and the Hans Wehrmacht also successfully joined forces in the Baku oil field area, which was also a historic moment.
When Führer Hilt received the news, he felt very complicated.
The ancient country only dispatched the Persian garrison and easily captured the Baku oil fields, and also helped them solve the tough problem of the Caucasus.
He also had to admit that the ancient country's national defense forces were probably far ahead of them in terms of strength.
It’s no wonder that the ancient country is unwilling to form an alliance with Hans.
