Chapter 143: The hippopotamus in action

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

The gunboats and the tanks of the remaining reinforcements bombarded each other, and they were now gambling with each other that they must kill each other, but this kind of shell without a locking function is a bit difficult to hit a moving target.

Yu Yuanjun and others hit the gunboats Fortunately, the gunboats and some transport ships were on the sea, the volume was much larger than the tank, and the target was much larger, and they shot each other for ten minutes, and only two unlucky tanks on the side of the Yu Reinforcements were hit, because of the reactive armor, and there were no direct hits, there were no casualties, but one of the gunboats at sea had already been hit and began to tilt, and it was about to be silent.

At this time, there was the sound of helicopters whistling over the head, and two hippopotamus helicopters had risen into the air and flew towards the position of the sea, although the hippo is a transport helicopter, but the hippopotamus is also armed, equipped with AT2 anti-tank missiles, as well as 57mm rockets and a 12.7 caliber machine gun.

After the Hippo helicopter took off, it was still four or five hundred meters away from the gunboat, and the rockets on the six hardpoints launched all the external weapons almost at the same time.

External weapons are different from artillery shells, they have aiming functions and infrared guidance functions, and the several gunboats that were targeted were hit before they could perform a conventional maneuver.

"Boom!"

There was a huge explosion on the sea, a gunboat was directly sunk, and several gunboats also began to emit thick black smoke, these gunboats and transport ships are not large in tonnage, they were hit by tank guns, as long as they are not in key positions, they can continue to sail, but the rockets are different, almost one is basically the ship will be reimbursed, and even will be silent immediately.

After the hippo used all the rockets, he did not immediately return home, but continued to wreak havoc in the air, and the large-caliber machine gun in the nose could easily pierce the iron sheets of these gunboats and ships, killing the pirates inside.

On both sides of the helicopter hatch, machine gunners held weapons, condescendingly fighting, six machine guns poured ammunition on the heads of these gunboats, and this group of Somali pirates lost almost all their combat effectiveness in just one minute.

"Withdraw!"

Unable to fight any longer, if you continue to fight, you will be killed, Pollack decisively gave the order to retreat, and several ships with power began to turn around and run towards the rear.

"Everyone concentrate their artillery fire and take down those few ships that can still move!" The remaining reinforcements watched the opposite ships retreat, and without hesitation, they gave the order to beat the water dogs, and all the tanks immediately stopped and began to aim at the ships that were still moving on the sea.

The shells kept being stuffed into the chambers of the cannons as if they didn't want money, and after being bombarded into the sea, and so on, until the ships on the sea could not see the shadows, the remaining reinforcements ordered to stop the attack.

"Count the results of the battle, see if there are any boats that can be used, drag them back, we just lack some boats!"

After watching the threat on the sea reced, the remaining reinforcements were relieved, there was no need to divide the troops, they only needed to concentrate their forces and kill the enemy in front, this time there were a little casualties in the battle, two unlucky eggs were hit by bullets, and during the positional battle, they were hit by the pirates' faith shooting, which shows that the African people's faith shooting does not seem to be useless, or has a little effect.

Helicopters are the key props to solve this battle, in front of pirates without anti-aircraft fire, two helicopters can slaughter them all, this is the advantage of weapons, of course, if one of Farah's ships is a regular warship, the rest of the reinforcements can't resist, but unfortunately no.

As a pirate in Somalia, the pursuit is the speed of the ship, and the rest is not important, and the addition of a few artillery pieces is just for deterrence, and Farah did not expect that the remaining reinforcements had helicopters in their hands, so they had to taste the bitter fruit of failure.

"Head, we failed, half of our ship was sunk, and there was some damage, and we couldn't escape!" After Pollack escaped from the helicopter's range, he immediately reported the situation on the battlefield to Farah.

Farah was stunned for a moment when he received the news, and then threw the things in his hand in a rage, but quickly calmed down again: "Why did you lose, is there a fleet on the other side?" ”

"No, but the head, they have helicopters, I don't know the exact number, but at least there should be more than two, they only have two, they can fire rockets and machine guns, slaughter over our heads, we don't have anti-aircraft weapons!"

"Damn! Withdraw yourselves! ”

Farah hung up the phone, and now he is very annoyed by the endless weapons that have been produced in the war mercenary group, this damn guy, he can't stop a little, now that the planes and tanks are out, what do they want to do, do they want to establish a state in Somalia?

"Do we have anti-aircraft weapons?"

Farah looked at his men, and a group of people looked at each other? Anti-aircraft weapons? What's that? One of his subordinates thought for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Head, after turning up the machine gun, sweep it at the plane?" ”

"What the hell can air defense, are the planes now stupid? Sweep you in the air! Farah slapped him, looked at the others, and finally shook his head and patted his head, and sure enough, he didn't seem to have any anti-aircraft weapons.

Saburo Sakai looked at Guan Lahe and thought about his subordinates, it seems that they don't carry Stinger-like anti-aircraft equipment, if the helicopter comes to find them trouble, it seems that there is really no way but to be beaten passively.

"I think we should have a way!" Saburo Sakai touched his chin and began to think, the target is a helicopter, not a fighter jet, this is good news, it is basically impossible for a fighter to be shot down by manpower, even a propeller plane is difficult.

"Have you figured out a way?" Farah is a little impatient, this group of Japanese can't do anything, and now Farah is a little annoying to them, he moves fast when collecting money, but he always drops the chain at the critical moment!

"I think we can hit a helicopter with an RPG!"

Saburo Sakai said slowly, the speed of information transmission in this era is very slow, although in the Vietnam War and Afghanistan there are often RPGs hitting helicopters, but Africans don't know that there is still this idea.

"Huh? Hit a helicopter with an RPG? Farah's eyes lit up, he stood and paced back and forth, and finally nodded slowly: "That's a good idea, we can give it a try!" ”

"Of course, I remember the Vietnamese used it, but it only when the helicopter was hovering!"
