Chapter 499: Retribution
Helicopters can be said to be the natural enemies of tanks, and in the absence of effective means of countering, a helicopter gunship loaded with anti-tank missiles can even destroy a fleet of tanks.
Although it was not a helicopter gunship that appeared above Otowa this time, but a UH-1 with a rocket launcher, Otowa also lacked the means to confront it.
Otowa only hated that she was now holding a T-64A, and if it was a T-64B, she would at least be able to try to attack the helicopter with artillery missiles.
It didn't take long for another round of rockets to hit.
This time the Otowa side was not so lucky, as a T-62 was punctured through the engine cover, and the power compartment caught fire.
Phew-
A flash of fire appeared in the jungle and swooped down on the helicopter at a great speed.
It was a whirlfire anti-tank missile, and the launcher was the FV438 that Wallis was on standby in the jungle.
This is wire-guided, and there are two guidance methods: manual control and semi-automatic command aiming. If the operator's skills are sufficient, it is not impossible to use it to fight jerks.
However, the FV438 was still too far away from the helicopter, and the low-speed missile would take several seconds to hit the target, which was enough for the crew to react.
With just a traverse, the helicopter easily brushed away the anti-tank missile.
Human power is still limited, and even a girl like Carola, who specializes in playing missiles, can't operate an anti-tank missile into an anti-aircraft missile.
"It's too far away. Wallis said with some reluctance.
At the end of the day, it was the missiles that took too long to fly, giving the pilots on the helicopters time to evade.
If this FV438 was with them now, this helicopter would have been shot down a long time ago, how could there be so many things.
Just as Wallis was thinking this, the voice of Otowa suddenly sounded on the radio.
"I'm going to deal with them. ”
With that, Otowa opened the hatch above his head.
It's nothing that the weapons on the tank can't deal with the enemy, but she has a gun, and there are many weapons that can be used by her, so why hang herself on the tank?
After leaning half out of the hatch, Otowa pulled out the RPG.
During this time, Otowa has used this thing to do a lot of combat vehicles, and the rockets for armor-piercing warheads have been exhausted, but fortunately, there are still some high-explosive warheads, and now it is just right to use them for helicopters.
Otowa was so fast that he pulled the trigger almost as soon as the helicopter entered the sight. By the time the members of the helicopter noticed the sound feat, the rockets had already been fired.
“R——P——G——”
Amid the heart-rending shouts of the crew on board, the rocket swooped straight down on the helicopter.
It's not easy to hit a helicopter with a rocket, but it's not impossible, and there are fewer helicopters that have overturned under the RPG Cult in history?
The UH-1 pilot wanted to dodge, but the helicopter was not a UFO, it would take some time to get out of the shackles of inertia, and the rocket was already riding in the face after a second.
The rocket hit the upper part of the helicopter, that is, where the engine was located.
The UH-1 was not a helicopter gunship, so it also lacked adequate protection here, and the engine stopped working directly after being hit by a rocket.
“MayDay, MayDay,MayDay!”
After the engine strike, the UH-1 could no longer maintain its balance, and began to fall in constant spin, and it was not long before it turned into a fireball in the nearby jungle.
"That's naïve. ”
Looking at the fireworks on the side, Otoha couldn't help but shake his head.
The accuracy of the bazooka is actually very low, and it is very difficult to hit a helicopter in high-speed maneuvering. If it weren't for the fact that the other side felt that he had eaten the vehicle of Otowa and relaxed his vigilance, Otowa would not have taken down this helicopter so easily.
"Huh?"
Otowa subconsciously looked at the other side of the bridge, only to see a number of chariots turning over from the hillside and rushing towards the bridge not far ahead.
There were almost all types of tanks on the other side, and the number was constantly increasing, and soon there were more than 10 vehicles.
"It's ......"
Even Himeko was taken aback by the scene in front of her.
They blocked the bridge just to earn a few heads, why did they suddenly attract so many enemies?
"The insignia on that chariot...... I understand. Wallis paused, then continued: "Someone has united the teams that want to cross the bridge, ready to crush us with numerical superiority. ”
Now Wallis's mind was spinning relatively quickly, and she immediately guessed what was happening on the other side.
After the previous Type 74 was forced away, their captain did not let the team die, but waited on the road for others who wanted to cross the bridge.
Everyone is not stupid, and they all know that no wing can break through the defense line on the opposite bank alone. And if they can't make it to safety within the time limit, they will be eliminated from the competition.
In such a situation, the ranks of the coalition forces quickly grew.
The helicopter was also called by a team within the coalition forces. They originally wanted to use support to reduce the combat power of the opposite side first, and then go up to force a breakthrough, but they didn't expect this thing to be so unreliable, so they were shot down by someone after a T-62.
There is no way, and now only the coalition forces are on their own.
There are fourteen chariots on the coalition side, but there are only five on the opposite side, and they still have a very big advantage if they fight three against one.
"It's a big problem now......"
Looking at the torrent of steel on the other side, Himeko's scalp was a little numb.
She originally wanted to wait for the gourd baby on the opposite side to save her grandfather, and the team was sent to death, but she didn't expect someone to unite the team and form a force that cannot be ignored.
If I knew it would become like this, Himeko wouldn't have gotten a mouth out for anything.
Boom Boom Boom –
The artillery battle soon began, although the chariots on Otowa's side had cover to use, but the chariots on the other side were also not easy to bully, after all, who could survive until now without reactive armor?
"The chariots on the opposite side are starting to cross the bridge!"
While many tanks were suppressing fire on the opposite bank, several heavily armored chieftains drove onto the bridge, seemingly preparing to force a breakthrough.
"Get out of cover and get our T-64 on top. ”
Himeko's reaction was quick and she made a judgment right away.
Their advantage now is the bridge of the Huarong Dao, if they really let the other side break through here, they are still playing with hair when they are at a disadvantage in numbers.
"Let's hope the composite armor of this vehicle can withstand the blow. ”
Otowa can imagine how much hatred they have after they get on the bridge, and if they don't know that more than half of the chariots on the opposite side will attack them, and they don't know that the armor of the T-64 can't help but withstand such a toss.
After all, this is just a 38-ton tank, 4 tons lighter than the Leopard 1.
