As the second-line M4 tanks started their engines, a line of imposing-looking new Iran Hill helicopters swept over the human position at low altitude.

The helicopter gunships were loaded with rockets, and the nose of the A/A49E-7 rotating turret was equipped with an M197 3-barreled 20mm Gatling gun produced by Tubao, which was basically a three-barreled version of the Vulcan gun, and eventually became the standard turret armament of this new gunship.

In order to control recoil and achieve the design goal of rotary-fire, the cannon mounted on the AH-1 gunship reduced the rate of fire to a theoretical rate of 750 rounds per minute, but could only fire 16 rounds in bursts with 750 rounds in reserve.

When performing battlefield suppression tasks, this aircraft can carry four 19-pack 70 mm caliber rocket launch nests, which are installed on short wings on the fuselage, which can provide very strong fire suppression.

The AH-1 helicopter gunship was born in the 60s, and the current industrial level of Iran Hill is fully capable of processing and production, and it is equipped with a T400-CP-400 "twin-engine" engine produced by the North County Engine Factory, which is very powerful.

The T400-CP-400 engine system basically consists of 2 Pratt & Whitney PT6 turboshaft engines and a shared gearbox, also known as the PT6T-4. The total output of the "twin engine" is 1140 kilowatts, which is 1530 shaft horsepower. In the event of a single engine failure, the "double pack" system can also provide enough power to maintain normal flight.

In fact, the "twin engine" could provide a maximum output of 1,340 kilowatts (1,800 shaft horsepower), but the drivetrain could not handle such a large amount of power, and as a result, the T400-CP-400 both engines were operating in limited power mode during normal operation, and the other engine automatically output maximum power when a single engine failed.

The AH-1 gunship is capable of carrying more than 1,023 litres of fuel, which is enough to guarantee its time hovering over the battlefield.

Because of the strong industrial capacity of Iran Hill, this kind of armed helicopter that has just been put into service is also equipped with some electronic equipment, which can be said to be the most advanced and powerful weapon equipment in the hands of the army.

The helicopter gunships swept across the battlefield and began to rain down the ammunition they carried, and the rockets covered the entire battlefield in a dense manner, and the demons' little advantage was suppressed in an instant.

Helicopter gunships hovered in the sky, constantly firing at the dense crowd of enemies with their rotating cannons. The demonic forces lined up in phalanx braved a hail of bullets, bullets striking the magical defensive barrier above their heads, leaving ripples like raindrops falling into the water.

Suddenly, a fireball flew out of the demon's phalanx and slammed directly into a gunship, engulfing the helicopter with huge flames, causing the helicopter to crash in flames.

Other helicopter gunships dodged, no longer simply hovering in mid-air, but began to evade these deadly threats.

In the chaos of the battlefield, an M4 tank ran over the black flames on the ground and poked its turret out of the anticline.

"Aim for the target! Find a big one and open fire! Removing his eyes from the periscope, Mr. Salesman pressed the throat intercom and shouted to his gun commander.

The gunner, without even looking back, pressed the fire button and fired a shell. With a "boom", the whole tank trembled slightly, and the recoil of the 90 mm caliber long-barreled gun was very fierce, and of course it was even more powerful.

An armor-piercing projectile was knocked out of the muzzle, and then sped forward in the air, and it only took a split second to slam into the powerful magical defensive barrier in front of the phalanx of demon troops.

Because of its extreme speed and impact, the cannonball pierced through the magical defense barrier, and then crashed into the heavy shield held by the sturdy demon more than 3 meters tall.

The sheer force allowed the cannonball to easily pierce the shield made of steel, which was more than 2 centimeters thick, leaving a scorched black scorch mark in the shape of a splash, and a hole about the size of a fist.

In an instant, the tall demon holding the shield was directly pierced through the chest by the armor-piercing bullet, and the whole person was broken in two due to the terrifying tearing force, black blood splashed everywhere, and pieces of broken flesh flew sideways in the crowd.

Before the surrounding demons could see what was happening, the second poor demon who had been broken in two was also shattered by the armor-piercing bullet before he could let out a scream.

They were followed by the third and fourth soldiers, whose heavy armor and strong magical defenses did not help them withstand the powerful attack, so they had to pay with their lives.

The shell pierced through five people in one breath before it could stop, and everything it passed along the way was completely destroyed. The remaining demons continued to push forward, not caring at all about the death of their comrades in front of them.

They trampled over the corpses of their comrades, holding high heavy and terrifying weapons as if they were going to take on the tanks of Ellan Hill.

"Armor-piercing shells! Keep loading! He shouted to the loader, and the salesman put his eyes on the periscope again in frustration. He wanted to observe the situation around him, after all, he was bored in this small place, and his vision was really not very good.

"Fire!" With a command, the M4 tank fired another shell, the shell casing was pulled out of the gun and fell on the floor of the tank with a clang, still steaming.

No one bothered to take a look, and the loader shoved the third armor-piercing shell into the chamber in front of him, and then closed the bolt with his hand. In the next second, he finished his action and shouted loudly, "Reloaded!" ”

As he snored, the 90 mm high-powered long-barreled gun slammed backwards, and then another steaming shell case was pulled out and rolled to the floor, where it slammed into the steel with a crisp sound.

The smoke extraction system of the M4 tank is not very easy to use, so the smell of sulfur has begun to fill the inside of the tank at this time. Life as a tank crew is not as easy as legend suggests, after all, their working environment is not much better than that of a submarine force.

In any case, this is just a tank from the 2 World War era, and many of the places where the design is really not satisfactory. There is no way, the development of the army's weapons and equipment is not as good as that of the air force, and most of the weapons and equipment are actually out of the stage of making do with the use.

With the current industrial base of Iran Hill, it is not difficult to make a tank like the Centurion, but the problem is that the comprehensive performance of this tank is not a leap compared to the M4 tank.

None of these tanks can be equipped with a stable automatic loader, nor does it have the ability to fire on the move, the infrared equipment is also very primitive, and the basic combat indicators have not surpassed the M4 tank on a large scale.

So, despite the fact that several M60 tanks have been produced and tested at the weapons test base in Iran Hill, the M60 tanks are still not equipped with any army units due to time issues.

The previous Iran Hill top brass felt that the M4 tank could support the troops until the more powerful tank entered service. But in retrospect, the trade-off seems a bit too radical.

Luckily, the crew of the M4 tank could choose whether they would suffocate or die of something else, so Mr. Salesman, the commander of the tank, lifted the hatch above his head, revealing a blue sky.

A stream of cold, sea-smelling air poured in, and several people inside the tank felt refreshed - this was the real battlefield, the real tank battle: sometimes, people would rather enjoy a little death than suffer the danger of being stuffed in a can.

Since there was no way to fire between the moves, all the M4s were basically the same as stationary batteries, with a turret exposed behind the anticline, aiming at the demon troops in the distance and calmly firing to cover the retreating soldiers into the second line of defense.

"The enemy is already very close! Reversing! Poking his head out and seeing a blazing Cobra helicopter crashed into the distance, the salesman commander shrank into the turret and ordered his members: "Reverse!" Reversing! ”

The thick tracks of the tank were crushed in the sand, and the heavy hull of the tank began to retreat. Because of the obscuration of the anticline, the gun commander could no longer see those distant targets.

He removed his eyes from his scope, looked at the commander who had just retracted his head, and asked loudly, "Tony!" Do you see all the infantry withdrawing? ”

"I didn't see it!" Tony, the salesman, replied loudly, "Why don't you go out and have a look?" ”

Obviously, the artillery commander had no intention of going out to have a look, he had just seen those demon soldiers of the fierce god Esa, and what he wanted to do most now was to retreat to a safe place as soon as possible.

The M4 tank was reversing slowly, and Tony no longer knew where he was. He sighed helplessly and shouted to the loader next to him, "I knew I would let you be the commander!" ”

He poked out of the open overhead hatch again, this time looking in the direction he was looking back, and only after seeing that there were no people behind him and would not be run over by the tank, he retracted back into the turret: "Keep reversing!" No one in the back! ”

At this time, a cannonball from the magic guide cannon pierced the commanding heights of this anticline, leaving a long scorched black trail on it, and then bombarded not far to the left of Tony's tank.

The huge shock startled Tony and the others, but fortunately the M4 tank was still reliable, and it was still reversing backwards in the shock. On the other side of the huge crater, another M4 tank was also reversing, and next to it were Iran Hill soldiers running with weapons.
