Chapter 174: Opening
Although we thought hard all night, the problems caused to us by the unreasonable design of the Z-5 can never be solved, after all, there are only two places where it can be used as an exit, and no matter what we think, there will not be one more exit out of thin air.
This caused a lot of trouble for our training the next day, if the side wall of the helicopter was used as the entrance, no matter how quickly the eleven fighters worked together, it would take at least a minute to board and land...... A minute may not sound like much, but on the battlefield it is enough to keep us from the encirclement of the Vietnamese army forever.
My plan was to retreat with a single blow at the speed of the enemy's reaction, and it would take a minute to land and deploy troops, and another minute to board the plane during the retreat, without taking into account the fact that such a small entrance and exit would probably block the Vietnamese firepower...... Then there will be no need to fight this battle!
If you use the large cabin 'door' at the back of the helicopter to enter and exit, the speed is indeed very high, but there will be a "unsafe" situation as Wang Yunming said.
Facts have also proved that what Wang Yunming said is right, when we were actually training, I watched the helicopter carrying 11 soldiers descend from the sky, and then the tail cabin 'door' opened...... It was like playing the game of "beach landing battle" when the landing craft lowered the cabin 'door', and a dozen fighters, including the pilot, were all exposed to enemy fire.
The fatal point is that the Z-5 is generally only used for airborne, transportation, ambulance, water life-saving, forest protection and fire prevention and other tasks in our army, so there is no weapon system on it at all, do you want to install a few 'Ting' machine guns on it? Its cabin is closed, and there is no place to install it!
Having experienced combat, I know what this means, which means that there is no attack capability until my helicopter has landed safely and our soldiers have come out of the cabin. In other words, even if we have an enemy waiting below the ascent, we are not able to strike.
"Camp Commander Cui!" When I was directing the soldiers for the fifth registration training, Lin Xue stepped forward and said, "This plan may not work!" It's better to board the plane when retreating, and we can rely on infantry fire to clear the enemy from important positions, but it's too dangerous to deploy our forces like that......"
"Hmm!" I nodded, having to admit the fact.
"Rest in place!" I dropped an order at the soldiers, and then sat down on a rock in frustration, stunned at the dozen helicopters in front of me.
It would be nice to have a few helicopters like the Yankees, but would the Yankees sell this high-tech thing? Even if you are willing to sell it, it is far from quenching your thirst, and such a big matter must at least be reported to your superiors, and then after high-level discussions, you will 'deal' with the United States...... When the helicopter arrives in our hands, we don't know it's the Year of the Monkey.
"The first thing we need to solve is the problem of loading weapons!" After thinking about it, I said, "If there are no weapons, then it is too dangerous for such a huge helicopter to fly in enemy airspace, even if we know that the enemy is aiming or 'shooting' at us!" ”
"We can install the machine gun at the entrance!" Wang Yunming continued: "We can slightly modify the cabin 'door' and dig a few 'shooting' holes in the cabin 'door' for 'shooting' for 'shooting' shots. It's just that the entrance is smaller, and the entrance to the side wall can only be equipped with a light machine gun, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to get in and out! ”
I didn't speak because I didn't think it was a good idea. It was already inconvenient for us to get in and out, and now we had to use a few 'strong' machine guns to block our path...... But again, it seems that the only way, to put a fire control system on a helicopter, like the Americans? Then it's time for scientists to look into it.
At this time, I thought about one thing clearly - I should not be the first person in my country to think of using helicopters to carry infantry in combat, and many people have also thought so, but unfortunately the helicopters of our army's era may not be suitable for participating in combat at all.
"Camp Commander Cui!" Seeing that I was embarrassed, Lin Xue suggested on the side: "Why don't we change the way of fighting, the helicopter does not directly enter the combat zone, but carries the infantry to the vicinity of the military target to put the infantry down, and then ......."
I shook my head helplessly and replied, "This method seems to be feasible, but in fact the dangerous 'sex' will be much greater than the dangerous 'sex' of the helicopter directly entering the war zone!" Mainly because the helicopter is very noisy when it flies, and the target is very obvious, if we land near a military target, it is easy for the Vietnamese army to guess the strategic purpose of our army, and then they will be prepared and even set traps...... Not only will we not be able to successfully complete the mission, but we may also lose our troops! "Hmm!" Hearing this, Lin Xue couldn't help but nodded: "This is essentially different from the surprise attack effect of a helicopter directly entering the battlefield!" ”
"Woo......" Just as a few of us were frowning, a helicopter flying in front of us caught my attention.
This helicopter is also a Z-5, in fact, at this time, our army was equipped with only a Z-5. It is said that at this time, the Z-6 had been developed by itself, but due to the unreasonable design of the engine, a major accident occurred during the test flight - the Z-6 crashed and all the crew were killed, so the Z-6 could not be put into mass production, and there were only a dozen in the country. From this point of view, it can also be known that China's helicopter technology is still a big gap compared with other countries.
These are all off-topic, the reason why this flying helicopter caught my attention was that a large bag was hung with a rope underneath it...... I think it's doing it to be able to ship more things at once.
So I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, stood up and asked Wang Yunming beside me, "Is there an opening under your helicopter?" ”
"Yes!" Wang Yunming replied without thinking about it: "There is an opening under every helicopter, which is used to lift or drop goods!" ”
"How big?" I asked again.
"900 mm long, 650 mm wide!" Wang Yunming said as he gestured the approximate size with his hand.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but 'flower' in full bloom, and said excitedly: "Let's go, take me to see it right away!" ”
Wang Yunming and Lin Xue didn't know what kind of 'medicine' I was selling in this gourd, but they still followed me into the cabin of a helicopter.
"Right here!" The light in the cabin was not good, Wang Yunming casually turned on the lights in the cabin, and then pointed to his feet and said: "This opening is especially useful when saving lives on the water, and the rope ladder is lowered from here!" Sometimes we put people down from here to save them......"
"That's right! This is it! "When I saw this opening at my feet, I couldn't help but cry out with excitement.
I didn't think there was a 'hole' in the floor of this helicopter, but it was already obvious, because there was also an electric winch directly above it, which must have been used to lift cargo or retract rope ladders.
"What does Camp Commander Cui mean......" Lin Xue looked at me and couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "You mean...... Let the fighters get out of here? ”
"That's right!" I nodded and said, "This opening is wide enough for two heavily armed warriors to go out at the same time, nothing gets better than this!" ”
"But ......" Lin Xue said with some hesitation when she heard this: "I have also thought about going out from this opening, but after going down, there must be a movement of lying down and crawling out, so the speed will be slower than going out from the entrance!" ”
"Comrade Lin Xue is right!" Wang Yunming nodded, opened it and explained to me: "Battalion Commander Cui, you can understand when you go down from here, after the helicopter stops, this opening is only the height of the landing gear from the ground, and it will be very inconvenient when you go out, and I don't think it is suitable as an exit for the troops......"
"You have a point!" I smiled disapprovingly: "But what you are talking about is the situation where the helicopter has landed on the ground, what if the helicopter has not landed?" ”
"Haven't landed yet?" Lin Xue and Wang Yunming couldn't help but look at me suspiciously.
"That's right!" I nodded, pointing directly above the opening, and said, "Fit two ropes here, not too long and not too short, probably...... Just a dozen or twenty meters! When the helicopter flew over the military target, it threw two ropes down, and the soldiers grabbed the ropes and slid down...... Slipping down two fighters at the same time, eleven fighters are afraid that it will not take more than a minute for all of them to slide to the ground and smoothly launch an attack! ”
Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other, and after a while, Wang Yunming nodded and sighed: "Sure enough, it's a good way, this way to deploy troops not only saves the time to go out from the cabin 'door', but also saves the time for the helicopter to land, and truly races against time!" ”
"Hmm!" Listening to Wang Yunming say this, I realized that this is really the case, the helicopter must slow down and land smoothly between landings, even if the pilot is at a high level, there must be this process, but if we slide down from mid-air, we can skip this step.
"I agree to do it!" Lin Xue nodded approvingly at me and said, "This is not just a matter of saving time, if the soldiers glide fast enough, they can completely make the Vietnamese army unable to aim, which is not only guaranteed; The safety of the fighters also ensures the safety of the pilots to a certain extent, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone! ”
"Important!" Wang Yunming added: "In this way, we can safely install machine guns on the side walls and rear of the helicopter, and the crew members can also provide fire cover for the infantry in the air!" ”
This time it was my turn to be stunned, I only thought of a little, but I never thought that there would be so many benefits from following this......
You must top it when you see it! Your encouragement is my big motivation!! ~!
