Chapter 2264: Mi-8 Air Threat

The Anmore Liberation Organization left behind more than 300 elite soldiers, while the others followed Le Ansen and others to continue the evacuation. Lin Rui and the others did not wait for the arrival of the Secret Society's pursuers, but took these rebel soldiers to build simple fortifications. On the other hand, a clever scout team was dispatched to reconnoiter the perimeter and further expand the defensive area. In addition, let the two people of Jiangan and Xiao Feng be responsible for contacting Cobain, and the technical support that their team can rely on at present is Cobain's remote assistance.

"Unknown signal received. Jiang Jian said in a low voice. "The signal source is approaching rapidly, it should be the Secret Society's helicopter communication. ”

"It is only in relative proximity that it is necessary for them to be in contact so often. Presumably using the guidance of a helicopter, the Order began to search the area. Crazy Horse whispered, "Typical aerial reconnaissance and ground search coordination. How far do you think they are from us?"

"It shouldn't be too far. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Listen!"

"Helicopter engine sound...... "Shogan said, "The large twin-engine engine should be a Mi-8 hippopotamus or a Mi-24 hind or something." ”

"I saw it. Snake Eye whispered in the distance, "That's right, it's Mi-8TV." I was able to see two, maybe a third. ”

Crazy Horse whispered, "That's not a good sign. The Mi-8TV is an armed modification of the T-type, and the standard equipment is to install a 7.62mm machine gun in the cabin, and three weapon attachment points above each of the two main landing gears, which can be equipped with the S-5 57mm rocket launcher. In addition, it can also be attached to the 9M-17P anti-tank missile. The threat to the ground is not small. ”

"Snake Eyes, report their distance and height. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"They went around, in a location that I couldn't observe. Snakeeye put down the telescope in his hand, and he climbed on the tree, his whole body camouflaged with leaves, and his face was also black and green camouflage. It looks like a clump of vines growing on a tree.

"The last time we attacked their convoy, we used ballista missiles, so they seem to be on guard. Jiang An said in a low voice, "Boss, what do you say?"

"The aerial firepower of these helicopters is enough to change the entire battlefield situation. If we want to hold on to the passes, we have to defeat them. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"But they were alert, and the cover of the jungle prevented us from locking them down. And once we get into an open position, we will be attacked by their ground attack weapons first. Crazy Horse took out a Chinese-made crossbow individual anti-aircraft missile from the box next to him. Soon put it down again.

"Their height is huge, at close to 4,000 meters or so. And the maximum shot height of the Balbow-6 is 3800 meters, and I am not sure to get them down. And if one misses, we will be the target of their main attack. The flight trajectory of the ballista missile will expose us. Crazy Horse shook his head.

"Wait, they can't stay close to the ceiling all the time. Lin Rui's brows furrowed. "Once they spot an anomaly, they will still lower the altitude to reconnoitre. At that time, it was our chance. Crazy Horse nodded, and the others waited nervously. The good news is that these two Mi-8TVs are not dedicated reconnaissance helicopters after all, and they do not have accurate sighting equipment. Moreover, the model is relatively old, and if you want to reconnoiter the ground situation, you will eventually have to lower the altitude.

So after circling for a few weeks, the two helicopters began to gradually reduce altitude. Lin Rui and the others hid in the jungle, and they could hear the sound of the engine getting clearer and clearer.

Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Crazy Horse, what's wrong?"

"It's in range, but it's still not ideal. There are only a limited number of ballistae, and I don't want to miss them. Crazy Horse whispered.

"Then don't do it yet. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" said Crazy Horse, stunned. "Do you want to let them go?"

Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Of course not." But for now, we might be able to take advantage of them. Snake Eyes, by looking at the helicopter's flying position, can you determine the position of the enemy's ground forces?"

"I may not be able to judge accurately, but I can guess the approximate direction and distance. Snakeeye whispered. "They should still be out of our range. ”

"Even if they get into the attack range, we won't do it for the time being. Wait until they get closer. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Snakeeye whispered.

"It occurred to me that once we were in close contact with the Order's forces, their helicopters would have to be low-level support. The 57mm rockets on their helicopters can't bomb their own people. This made it possible to reduce the altitude and provide fire support with machine guns. That's where Crazy Horse and Scarface come in. They will take out helicopters with ballista missiles. Then we can withdraw to the vicinity of the pass as planned, as long as they have no aerial fire. It won't be so easy to take the pass of that col smoothly. Lin Rui said in a deep voice.

"Isn't this too risky boss, which will cause us to get too close to their ground forces. I don't believe that the anti-government guerrillas will be able to withstand them. Sausage whispered.

"At this point, we don't have much choice but to trust them. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"They lowered their altitude again, which shows that their reconnaissance is not good. It also indicates that the Order's ground forces have entered the jungle area, which has forced them to lower their altitude again in order to provide reconnaissance for the ground forces. The snake eye, hidden in the heights, whispered. "Their flight altitude has been reduced to less than two thousand meters. ”

"Be careful. Don't expose it. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"It's okay, the location I chose is well shaded. Even if they're staring at me, they won't be able to spot me if I don't move. Snakeeye whispered, "Yelena, how are you there?"

"I can't see the helicopter from my location, but I can already see the members of the Order in the distance. The measured distance is about 1,300 meters, and they are still approaching. Yelena was on another high ground, adjusting the telescope in her hand. Her sniper rifle was right next to her. Like all snipers, she must use her telescope to orient her target before aiming.

"You two snipers have listened carefully, pause firing, and wait for my orders. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "We can't startle the snakes and alarm them yet." Our first target is the two Mi-8TV helicopters. Only by killing them will we have a chance to continue fighting the Order. Otherwise, it will not be able to cope with their air fire at all. ”
