Chapter 161: Air Raid!
"Air raids, air raids, all hidden, hidden!"
Zhang Ran, who rushed towards the old knife, tore his throat and shouted!
His exclamation attracted the old knife and the sava to look back, both of them were undoubtedly veterans on the battlefield, even if the old knife was unable to move at this time, but after less than a second of hesitation, he pushed the two wheels of the wheelchair, and at the same time shouted with Zhang Ran: "Air raid, air raid, everyone is hidden!" ”
Instead of screaming, Sava pushed her wheelchair closer to the camp gate.
"What's going on?"
"Where did the air raids come from?"
Air strikes are a foreign thing to most construction workers, who have not experienced a real battlefield, and in Africa, the most frequently used weapon is an AK, and the carrier is a pickup.
"Get out, get out of the camp, hide in the woods outside, no lights, no light no matter what!"
Not only Zhang Ran yelled, but also Kuaidao, Wuying, etc., almost all the people in the Saber Mercenary Regiment received a warning from Bai Ge, and Bai Ge told them that it was estimated that the air raid would not last more than 3 minutes!
Three minutes may not seem like a short time, but in fact it is only one hundred and eighty strokes, and those who move slower are not even enough to run out of the camp gate! The reason why Zhang Ran asked everyone to do this is because the camp has not been able to respond to air raids so far.
Africans have little experience in fighting air strikes, and in intra-African wars, there are very few fighters that are actually capable of launching air strikes.
The real air attack is not a machine gun sitting on the edge of the open hatch of the helicopter and pulling the trigger, if it is really an enemy of that level, cold-blooded and Zhang Ran can do it with one gun per person.
"Quick, go, last thirty seconds!"
Zhang Ran guarded at the gate of the camp, according to his requirements, half of the lights in the camp were extinguished, and the reason why they were not all extinguished was because Zhang Ran did not think that in the absence of lights, the enemy planes would not be able to find the coordinates.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
The chaos of the evacuation did not improve efficiency, but rather caused the construction workers to evacuate more and more slowly, some people were busy packing their things, and some people wanted to find their best companions. If these construction workers were replaced by people from other countries, Zhang Ran might have given up a long time ago, after all, the first thing the mercenaries should do is to save their lives!
But at this time, not only Zhang Ran would not give up, but Kuaishou and others would not give up either, they tried to find everyone, even coaxed and yelled, and even took out their guns and shot into the sky to ensure that everyone was evacuated from the camp. The reason why they are willing to take such a risk is because these people are not outsiders, but blood compatriots!
"Here, lie down, lie down, old knife, old knife, are you outside, let people not be too far away from the camp!"
The roar of the engine was heard in the air, which became more and more obvious under the night, and the cold-blooded who did not know where to lie on his stomach and aimed, whispered in the radio channel: "Helicopters, at least three or more." ”
"Five, taking off from the devil base, the model is 'stinky fart'." Bai Ge's voice was as always, and he didn't become particularly nervous because of the air raid, even though he knew that Zhang Ran and the others were still in the camp.
Of course, "stinky fart" is not the name of a certain armed helicopter, at least it will not be the official name, but Zhang Ran and others can understand that the so-called "stinky fart" is actually A129, the "mongoose" armed helicopter developed by Italy and Turkey, and it is also one of the easiest armed helicopters to buy in the international arms market.
The world's largest production of armed helicopter models are naturally the two superpowers, the former Soviet Union and the United States, which has always existed, in recent years, China is also catching up, but limited by some basic industrial conditions, China-made armed helicopters have some shortcomings that are difficult to make up, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to catch up with the United States and Russia within ten years.
Although the "stinky fart" was developed by two small countries, it still surpasses the latest armed helicopter developed and announced by China only in terms of combat performance. The little devils themselves did not announce the development plans and finished products of the helicopter gunship, and in the spirit of secrecy, even if they had, they would not use it in Africa.
"Damn, why didn't you detect that the little devil is still hiding a helicopter gunship?" Kuaishou's scolding sounded on the radio, but Bai Ge said lazily: "I meowed, will you know that someone wants to fart before you smell the stench?" What the hell, the little devils hide these helicopters in caves, and they can't see even a hundred pairs of eyes in the sky, do you think they can see through? ”
"Don't argue, they're already here!"
Zhang Ran's low drink interrupted the noise between Bai Ge and Kuaishou, in fact, even if he didn't speak, the roaring motor sound could achieve the same effect!
The flickering anti-collision lights could already be seen in the sky, and at the moment when Zhang Ran and the others raised their heads, dozens of flames erupted in mid-air, and at the same time, there were ten chains of light extending from the body of the "stinky fart" and reaching the ground!
"Da Da Da!"
The sound of machine-gun fire came a little later than the debris flying on the ground, and twenty-millimeter shells often exploded a crater when they landed on the ground! The strafing of five helicopters, plus seventy-millimeter rocket launchers fired from pylons, quickly set the entire camp on fire and turned it into a sea of fire!
"Damn, those board houses just been fixed!"
Zhang Ran, who was hidden, slammed the ground hard! He'd shifted positions three times before, but the machine gun was always tracking his bearing. In fact, not only him, but also those who operate in the camp will be chased by helicopter machine guns!
Obviously, these "stinky farts" are by no means beggar's versions purchased from the international market, and the fire control personnel on the plane are also equipped with an advanced night vision infrared aiming system, otherwise it is impossible to track Zhang Ran and others. However, as the fire increases, the resolving power of the infrared night vision system is gradually decreasing!
For the five helicopters raging in the air, Zhang Ran didn't seem to have any counterattack on his side. China's art of war is cloudy, and in combat, it is first necessary to "avoid its sharp edge." Zhang Ran and others, who are quite familiar with armed helicopters, will not use their own flesh and blood to resist an iron bird full of bullets and rockets.
No matter how fierce a tiger is, it can't beat a clever hunter, and a helicopter that looks like it's mighty won't be better than a Humvee under certain conditions, at least cold-blooded thinks so.
As a real sniper, the first thing to do is not to kill the enemy, but to hide yourself, whether in the mountains or canyons, in the sky or into the ground, in the face of a variety of modern reconnaissance methods, a real sniper must be able to use the limited materials around him, hide himself like a turtle with a shrunken head.
Only by hiding yourself can you better complete the task.
At this point, cold-blooded is hiding on the edge of an open field in the camp, reversing the thinking of helicopter pilots and fire controllers, a position where offense is the easiest to ignore. Of course, in the face of modern reconnaissance methods, simply lying on the ground will undoubtedly only become a fixed target for others.
In addition to the camouflage on his body, Cold Blood also poured a lot of water on his body. Under the normal state, only clean water cannot cover up the heat emitted by the human body, but with the assistance of camouflage combat uniforms, as the surrounding fire increases, the water will also take away the heat of the human body when it evaporates, so that the cold-blooded can successfully melt itself into the surrounding environment, whether it is in the low-light night vision goggles or the infrared imaging screen, the cold-blooded shadow can not be found.
"Let you scream!"
Cold-blooded, motionless like a rock, raised his head and looked up at the hovering mongoose, he had been estimating the height of the mongoose, and at the same time silently counting the number of explosions in his heart, although some of the explosions would overlap, but at least the cold-blooded could come up with an approximate number.
For the mongoose, cold-blooded is also very familiar, he not only knows the relationship between its bomb load and range, but he also knows better, where is the weakest place of this cargo!
Helicopter gunships are designed to deal with armored forces, especially armored transporters and tanks that have no anti-air capability, and it would be a nightmare if you encounter a gunship group! Therefore, helicopter gunships are inherently designed for ground attacks, and most helicopter gunships have little combat capability in the air.
In terms of the effect of weapon use, the closer to the ground, the higher the energy efficiency ratio, after all, bullets, shells and even missiles are exchanged for real money, and no one wants to let a lot of money become a good-looking fireworks in the sky or on the ground!
The mongoose, as a helicopter gunship for Europeans, was not careless in its defense against local attacks.
The cockpit, engine compartment and even the rotors are specially strengthened or made of special materials, such as the seemingly fragile rotors, which can actually resist 12.7 mm bullets, and even 23 mm shells can resist a few hits.
But no helicopter gunship can be exhaustive, there is never a perfect shield in this world, and even a tank known as the Land Tiger can be defeated by a small grenade - as long as the grenade explodes in the right place.
The weakness of the mongoose, and the weakness of the vast majority of helicopters, is the glass of the cockpit. In order to ensure the performance of the aircraft, it is still unwise to install bulletproof glass that is resistant to 12.7 mm bullets, because this kind of glass cannot meet the requirements for aircraft performance in terms of transparency and weight.
What's more, the price of this glass is simply too great.
As a gunship, its special cockpit shape minimizes the possibility of being attacked from the ground, and the trapezoidal structure makes it difficult for snipers on the ground to target the fragile cockpit glass and shoot.
Of course, not all the time, the helicopter gunship will maintain an absolutely horizontal flight attitude, after all, the helicopter's large maneuver must rely on the change of attitude to achieve.
Chance, often only once.
