"Cobain, how far are we from the U.S. military's strike area?" Lin Rui led his team members to run for a while, and then used the satellite network to contact Cobain.

"It's not good, you're still in the U.S. strike zone. You can't run down that road, you have to get out of there. "Extremist terrorist groups are using this highway to smuggle crude oil for money, and in the last week alone, the U.S. military destroyed 12 of their tanker trucks." Now air strikes along that road have become almost the norm. ”

"Damn. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "But this is the only way for us to quickly get out of the battlefield." ”

"Boss!" Sergei yelled, "The air raid is coming, hide!" Lin Rui and his team members rolled down to the sides in desperation, crawling in the dry ditches on both sides of the road.

The roar of warplanes was heard in the air, almost like muffled thunder. Crazy Horse's face changed slightly, "No, it's not a bomber! It's a 130 air gunboat!" Although Crazy Horse is from the army special forces, he still knows a lot about fighters.

The 130 heavy attack aircraft, modified by Lockheed on the basis of the US Air Force 130 transport aircraft, was called the "flying gunboat". This kind of attack aircraft first appeared on the battlefield in Vietnam, when the US military was faced with a large number of unprotected but scattered Vietnamese guerrillas, villages, convoys and other targets, and these targets were most effective with guns of various calibers, and the cost of use was relatively reasonable.

Therefore, the US military needs an attack aircraft with strong firepower and a long time in the air. The US military soon modified the 47, 119, and 130 transport planes, and installed search and sighting devices and guns on the doors and sides of the cabin, and added weapon pylons to form "flying gunboats."

It is said to be an old model, but after redevelopment, it is still very powerful. In particular, it has a lethal strike capability against troops scattered on the ground and lacking air fire protection. After half a century of service, some features remain irreplaceable. It is extremely advantageous when used against scattered partisan units, and ground targets.

And now those two planes should be the latest version of the 130 "Phantom" type, which was operated by Rockwell. The US military uses it to sweep ground targets, attack transport convoys and small training camps, it's like play.

Although the 130 looks like a transport plane on the outside, it has a murderous motive on the inside. On the side walls behind the cockpit are two 20 mm Vulcan rifel-fired rapid-fire guns, which can rain 7,200 shells per minute at the target.

In addition to these, a 40-mm Bofors cannon and a 105-mm howitzer were armed. The howitzer can "evaporate" targets at a distance of 1,200 yards, and the huge recoil caused by the gun's firing can even change the course of the aircraft, so the cabin is also specially equipped with a brake.

When the fire controller shouted "fire", the howitzer braked violently backwards on the rails and reset with the help of hydraulic buffers, which were then reloaded. The 105 mm guns fired 5-pound** shells that could reach targets at speeds of up to 1,548 feet per second, with shrapnel radii of up to 1,500 yards. Therefore, it is extremely lethal to ground infantry, and the title Angel of Death is not an exaggeration for 130.

Currently, the United States is massively using "air gunboats" in military operations in the Middle East. The 130 "Air Gunboats", which are in service with the Special Operations Command of the US Air Force, are capable of hovering over the target for a long time, launching a lethal attack at any time, with accurate firepower, seriously disrupting the enemy's supply lines.

But these are not good news for Lin Rui and others. He would rather come with a B2 bomber, in which case at least they would have a fixed bombing of large targets, and ignore ground targets that are too scattered.

But now that the gunboats are coming, the situation is completely different. This means that the U.S. military will be highly lethal to dispersed targets on the ground.

Jiang An was very familiar with the configuration of the US military, and immediately reacted, "These two air gunboats are 130, and they should be subordinate to the 16th Special Mission Squadron of the 4th Special Mission Group." Damn, let's hope they didn't find us. ”

"Whether you find it or not, you can't wait for death in the open field, let's go!" We continued along the ditch on the side of the road, and it was much safer to run into the col ahead. Lin Rui shouted loudly, "Run!"

In fact, they have also been spotted by the US military on the plane. Because the reason why the "air gunboat" can be invincible on the modern battlefield is also due to its optoelectronic system, infrared sensors, and computer fire control system. These systems ensure that the "air gunboat" can strike targets with extreme precision in dark or low-light conditions.

The newly modified 130 "Phantom" air gunboat was retrofitted with an NP180 synthetic aperture fire control radar, which is used on 15 fighters and can carry out long-range target detection and identification. And in the absence of a ground observer, the fire can be adjusted by looking at its impact point. And use powerful sensors to closely observe the situation on the ground, and use the missiles on board to strike any seemingly hostile target.

"To find a ground target, it should be an armed squad, they are very professional. Cover along the terrain and move in the hills ahead. The operator of the infrared reconnaissance equipment immediately reported.

"Identify them, see who they are? They don't look like extremists. The fire controller on the plane said in a deep voice.

Aided by infrared reconnaissance equipment, the observer frowned, "They're wearing camouflage combat uniforms, they look like our guys?"

"Ask headquarters if there are any other friendly forces operating nearby. ”

"Understood. "The gunboats in the air have lowered their altitude and are hovering in this area.

"Oh no, they've found us!" Lin Rui's face changed slightly, and he turned around and said, "Speed up, they need to ask for instructions before they can attack." ”

The members of Team 2 moved quickly along the ditch on the side of the road, and the scouts on the gunboats in the air were a little confused, "They are moving too fast." It is expected that after five minutes, they will take refuge in the col. ”

"We, and we'll kill them in a matter of seconds!" said the American gunner on the plane coldly.

Headquarters replied, and there was no friendly activity around. Another U.S. military officer in charge of communications said loudly.

"So they're the enemy, ready to fight!" the captain roared.

A 2512 cannon on a gunboat in the air began to rotate under the drive of a 15-horsepower electric motor, and the 25-caliber five-barreled Gatling cannon began to spit tongues of fire downward. The terrifying caliber and rate of fire of 3,600 rounds per minute are a nightmare for all ground targets.
