Chapter 690: The Last Moment
(Read more)
Things are in this situation now, and Zhao Changshu can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. The people of Huayou Petroleum can't shoot cannons, so let them learn! If you don't want to learn, it's easy to do, big scalp shoes and belts, and you can't beat you to death. If you don't want to learn anymore, just throw it into the sea and feed the sharks! Damn, you don't want to die!
In fact, there is nothing that the people in the Huayou delegation do not want to learn, and since they got on the Queen, their perception of the world has completely changed. Everyone knows in their hearts that it is completely unfeasible to judge and deal with the matter in front of them by the previous moral standards. In the days to come, if you want to live, you must listen to Zhao Changlan.
Although they can't learn much about firing artillery, they can be a three-gunner or four-gunner, and they can help the brothers of the Poison Dragon Society to shoot cannonballs into the sky, and maybe they will bomb the enemy's plane down by mistake!
The most important thing about ground artillery fire against aircraft is the density of firepower, and one more artillery gun is more hope.
Zhao Changshu did not give everyone too long to train and fire, but let everyone be familiar with the process and precautions of firing, and then asked people to cover the anti-aircraft cannon with canvas.
Now Zhao Changshu ordered the British flag to be hoisted on the freighter, and changed the "Queen" to the "London", just to confuse the pilots of the enemy planes, so that they would not dare to bomb the "Queen" easily, if the enemy discovered the anti-aircraft guns on their ship, their camouflage would be useless. When the time comes, a few missiles will definitely be summoned, and the purpose of their surprise attack will be completely nullified.
After receiving the information transmitted back by the early warning plane, the Seventh Pacific Fleet of country M did not immediately send fighter planes, but waited for further reconnaissance information from the early warning aircraft. But what puzzled the combat staff officers was that their AWACS plane never sent back any information, and they tried to contact the staff of the AWACS plane, but there was no response!
The commanders of the Seventh Fleet realized that something might be wrong with their AWACS aircraft. But they did not expect their early warning opportunity to be knocked into the Pacific Ocean.
Just as Zhao Changshu expected, the Seventh Fleet did not make a big move for the sake of the "Queen" and mobilized the entire aircraft carrier battle group to pursue the "Queen", but only sent two long-range fighters to fly to the coordinate area transmitted by the AWACS aircraft.
Two F-22 fighters took off urgently from the USS Washington aircraft carrier and flew through the sky like sharp arrows over the predetermined sea area.
Dispatching fighter jets to deal with a freighter is a complete killing knife for the two senior pilots on both fighters.
However, when the two pilots rushed to the sky above the predetermined sea area in a murderous manner, they were dazed to find that there was only the vast Pacific Ocean below them, and there was no shadow of a freighter at all!
Although the AWACS aircraft transmitted back the coordinates of the Queen, the Queen was moving at high speed, and by the time the two fighters arrived, they had already left the sea.
After exchanging opinions, the two pilots began to make a spiral movement in all directions with the predetermined sea area as the center of the circle, expanding the search area. Although this search method is relatively slow, the search is very detailed, and there will be no search blind spots.
In terms of speed, there is no comparison between a ship floating on the water and an airplane flying in the sky, although the Queen had left its original sea area when the fighter arrived, but it was not close to the sea area of Hell's Gate, so about an hour later, the two fighters still discovered the whereabouts of the "Queen".
However, to the confusion of the pilots of the plane, they discovered that the freighter sailing below them was not flying the Chinese flag, but the British flag. Therefore, the two pilots did not dare to attack the freighter immediately, but began to plan to descend the flight altitude and use VHF radio to get in touch with the people on the freighter.
Ever since he spotted a fighter plane in the sky above the Queen, Zhao Lancer once again ordered his brothers to get under the canvas that covered the anti-aircraft guns.
Although the previous AWACS aircraft sent back their coordinate location, they did not send back the news that the freighter had anti-aircraft guns on board, so Zhao Changshu judged that the people of country M did not know that the Queen was equipped with anti-aircraft guns so far, so he wanted to repeat the old trick and beat the fighter down by surprise again.
Looking at the fighter jets hovering at the top of the freighter, Zhao Changlan's heart also rose to his throat, if the people on the plane were brave enough, no matter how many people on the plane gave them an air-to-ground missile, they would have to go to see Hades. At this moment, Zhao Changshu is gambling, the British flag he flies on the gambling ship, and the name of the ship that has been altered can confuse the other party, so that the other party does not dare to bomb the freighter easily, so as to reduce the flight altitude and conduct low-altitude reconnaissance of the freighter.
Only then was the best moment for them to launch a surprise attack on the fighters. The lower the plane flies, the greater the probability of being hit by anti-aircraft artillery.
Zhao Changshu soon discovered that he was only half right, because only one of the two fighters began to lose altitude, while the other was still hovering at an altitude of more than eight thousand meters.
Zhao Changshu couldn't help but have a headache, now only one fighter lowered the flight altitude, even if their anti-aircraft guns could knock it down by surprise, the fighters still hovering at high altitude could easily send the "Queen" to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, which was almost no suspense.
However, Zhao Changshu didn't have time to think of countermeasures, because a fighter plane had quickly lowered its flight altitude, and if the pilot on the plane realized that the "London" below was the "Queen" they were looking for, they wouldn't even have a chance to shoot down this plane!
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! Fight!" Zhao Changshu looked at the fighter plane flying towards the freighter at a low altitude and suddenly gave the order to open fire! As for the plane in the sky, he couldn't care about it anymore.
After hearing Brother Gun's order, the Poison Dragon Society brothers, who had already been hiding under the canvas and were ready to attack, suddenly lifted the canvas covering their heads and immediately opened fire!
Originally, the double 25 anti-aircraft gun needed at least six people to operate together to fire, aim, launch, and reload each with its own responsibilities, but now is an extraordinary period, and there is simply not enough manpower, so there are only two people in each anti-aircraft gun to operate, and everyone has to do the work of three people!
The pilot of the fighter plane was wondering what was covered under these canvases on the deck, and suddenly he saw the canvas being swept to the side, and the straight barrels of the high guns were aimed in his direction like spears on the battlefield of cold weapons!
The pilot who killed the fighter did not expect that there would be such a strange weapon on the freighter below. Anti-aircraft artillery is a pure army weapon, the naval fleet is not equipped with such a thing at all, and in modern warfare, the role of anti-aircraft artillery has become smaller and smaller, so when the pilot of the fighter plane found these anti-aircraft guns that suddenly caught his eyes, his first reaction was extremely surprised, as if he saw a monster suddenly drilled out of the Pacific Ocean, and then realized that his plane was dangerous!
The pilot of the fighter plane launched a surface-to-air missile at the first time, and at the same time, he quickly piloted the fighter to climb quickly, and the higher he flew, the smaller the chance of being shot!
However, at the same time as he launched the air-to-surface missile, countless anti-aircraft shells also flew towards his plane with a roar!
Although the anti-aircraft guns on the freighter were not enough to form an anti-aircraft artillery group, the enemy's fighters flew too low, and the entire fuselage was completely under a dense rain of bullets.
Zhao Changshu had already run in front of an anti-aircraft gun, and the shells had already been pressed, and Zhao Changshu operated the cannon alone, shooting one shell at a time.
When Zhao Changshu saw the missiles dropped by the fighters, he was shocked into a cold sweat, the missiles of the M army are not only precision-guided, but also extremely powerful, as long as their freighter hits even one, it will have to disintegrate immediately.
In an instant, Zhao Changshu felt that his throat was a little hot, and he quickly adjusted the muzzle of the cannon, aimed the muzzle at the missile flying towards the freighter, and then fired a series of cannonballs! The muzzle of the double-barreled anti-aircraft gun flashed with a dazzling muzzle flame, and it was almost never extinguished.
Zhao's efforts were not in vain, and a single shell accurately hit the missile that was flying towards them! The missile exploded in the air in an instant several kilometers away, forming a huge fireball, mixed with thick gunpowder smoke that spread in all directions.
The brothers of the Poison Dragon Society did not disappoint Zhao Changshu either, and almost at the moment when Zhao Changshu successfully intercepted the missile, the low-altitude fighter plane was disintegrated by their volley, and a huge fireball exploded in the air.
However, what Zhao Changshu didn't expect was that when the missile was intercepted and exploded, it was already too close to the freighter, and the shock wave generated by the explosion lifted more than a dozen brothers directly out of the gun position, constantly rolling on the deck, if it was not finally stopped by the ship's side, I am afraid that it would have to fall into the vast Pacific Ocean and die in the belly of the fish. At the same time, three anti-aircraft guns were also hit by the shock wave, broke down and could not fire.
At this time, the other anti-aircraft guns that Zhao Changshu had already prepared on the deck immediately showed their effect, and the Poison Dragon Society brothers immediately gave up the faulty anti-aircraft guns, quickly ran to the other anti-aircraft guns, and continued to shoot in the air!
They wanted to shoot down the fighters hovering in the air! Zhao Changshu also aimed his cannon at the sky, but his heart had become cold.
The other plane, which had been hovering at high altitude, did not lower its flight altitude at all, it was too far away from the Queen, and after the originally dense shells flew into the air, they immediately became very dispersed and could not pose a threat to the combat mechanism at all!
If Zhao Changshu can knock down a high-speed moving fighter at that height, I am afraid that his name will enter the history of human warfare. So in Zhao Changlan's mind, he could already imagine that his Queen freighter was hit by a missile, and then fell into a sea of fire, and finally drowned in the boundless Pacific Ocean, and from then on, there was no such person as Zhao Changshu in the world.
The miracle did not happen in the end, not a single shell could hit another fighter plane in the air, and the terrible thing is that after the fighter in the air saw that his companion was killed in such a daze, he immediately launched a fierce attack on the "Queen", and launched all six open-air Sidewinder missiles on board in succession!
Zhao Changshu watched the missiles flying quickly towards the freighter, and shouted loudly in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Stop hitting the plane! Intercept and shoot at the missile!"
The brothers of the Poison Dragon Society immediately quickly adjusted the muzzles of their guns and began to intercept and fire at the missiles.
