Chapter 965 Abandoning the C3I System

East of the Rottal Mountains, Frankenberg.

Here, the Belgian First Army has been waiting for a long time. As an important country in NATO, the Belgian army is also very impressive! After all, Belgium occupies one of the few military-level numbers!

However, the Belgian army did not perform well during this crisis. A Belgian battalion took over the command of the West Germans. Although it was successful at first, it was beaten to a pulp by the German-West German coalition forces. The entire battalion surrendered!

This made the Belgians lose face, so in this ambush, the Belgians took the initiative to request to move closer to the east, hoping to be the first to connect with the two German armies and then defeat them!

However, after waiting for two days, the German troops did not arrive. Instead, they bypassed their defense line and broke into the rear from the north!

This made the Belgian armored soldiers so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.

Now, the commander of the First Belgian Army, Major General Ross, looked at the messenger in front of him and the handwritten order in his hand. He couldn't believe himself: "So, the newly appointed General Norman didn't use our C3I system, but directly sent it to us by hand, and asked you to take a helicopter to deliver it to us quickly?"

What a joke! In this day and age, we still use the method of writing commands manually and sending them over? This is simply the level of World War I! The C3I system that was just built last year at a huge cost is not used at all?

"Yes, these few incidents have fully demonstrated that there are serious problems with our command system, which may be exploited by the Soviets. Therefore, our operation this time can only be ordered in this way. The headquarters has already formulated a plan, and we just need to act according to the plan. Also, when you issue orders, please do not go through our C3I system. It is best to convey them manually." A lieutenant colonel who came to deliver the order answered with a very affirmative look on his face.

The C3I system is a command automation technology system. It is an integrated system that uses electronic computers to closely link the command, control, communication and intelligence subsystems. The use of this system can greatly enhance combat effectiveness.

And now, they are actually going backwards! This made Major General Ross very speechless, but considering what happened in recent days, the headquarters' concerns were possible.

However, this order was too hard to believe. Instead of attacking Bonn, which was so close, they were going to attack the Nervenich Air Force Base? Go there and take back the base?

Is there a grudge against Nervenich Air Force Base? Why do we have to go there?

The order was urgent, and although he complained about it, Major General Ross decided to act immediately.

At the same time, not only the Belgian army received the order, but also reinforcements from Britain, the United States, Greece, Türkiye, etc., all began to act immediately after receiving the order!

The huge army rushed towards the Nerfenich Air Force Base!

At the same time, a small number of troops were heading towards Cologne and Bonn, which was of course used to confuse the armies of the two German states!

Lieutenant General Norman had high hopes for this tactic. Now, the Soviets certainly didn't know that their own troops had begun to mobilize on a large scale and were heading straight for the Nerfenich Air Force Base!

When the German and German armies attacked, they took a big detour and did not take the main road to avoid being discovered. Now, NATO troops need to arrive as soon as possible! Therefore, their army almost set out directly from the highway!

The order was delivered at night, and when dawn broke, NATO forces had arrived at the Nervenich Air Force Base!

"Charge, occupy the entire base, this is ours!" Major General Ross gave orders loudly.

Due to the last airstrike, many buildings in the base have collapsed, and the hangar has been destroyed. In the past, those planes were parked on the apron, but now? Why can't I see those fighter planes?

Clearly, those planes were on the tarmac before dark yesterday, right?

After seeing the airport from afar, Major General Ross was a little puzzled. Moreover, as the source of the rebellion, there were many people gathered here. Those people tried to use their bodies to block the tanks, thinking that the tanks would not dare to crush the people.

But now, where are those people? Where have they gone?

There is a problem, definitely a problem! Major General Ross ordered his troops to stop and looked at the base a few kilometers away, not daring to move forward for the time being.

At the very least, they should know where those planes went, right? If those planes took off from the runway before their arrival, loaded with anti-tank ammunition, then their troops would not even need to occupy the airport, they would be killed here!

"Calling the early warning aircraft, where is our air support?" asked Major General Ross.

"But we are forbidden to use the C3I system," said the adjutant.

"The previous ban was because we were afraid that the Soviets would know our actions. Now, if we don't contact the early warning aircraft, are we waiting to be attacked by the enemy's aircraft?" said Major General Ross.

In order to fight against the Soviet Union's armored torrent, NATO has always used its mass advantage, especially based on air strikes! In recent years, it has proposed air-ground integrated tactics, and can call for air support at any time when needed.

But now, they want to disarm themselves and not even allow the use of the C3I system. This is simply courting death! Especially in the current situation, Major General Ross knows that he must call for air support! His own formation can't deal with a large number of fighters!

"Listen, what's that sound?" At this moment, suddenly, a loud thunder was heard in the distance, and the tank drivers who leaned out could hear it clearly.

What's that sound? Major General Ross raised his telescope and looked over quickly. Soon, he found black spots in the sky!

Those black spots were flying towards us quickly, close to the ground. They didn't look like attack aircraft, but more like... armed helicopters!

Yes, it is an armed helicopter! From here you can see the front, two pilots sitting in seats, one high and one low. Under the short wings on both sides are anti-tank missiles, and the propeller on top makes a whirring sound like thunder.

Hind! That's the Soviet Hind attack helicopter! Nationality unknown! Major General Ross was immediately mad: "Quick, call our fighters! Where's the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun? Self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, quick, get ready to shoot!"
