"Attention! At 2 o'clock, you can find your own guidance signal! "On a slow-flying VS-3 two-seater gunship, the backseat pilot is communicating with the front-seat pilot through the on-board communication system.

"Roger!" The pilot in the front seat gave the most concise answer. Under his control, the helicopter made a slight clockwise turn, so that the airborne bazooka, which did not have the ability to adjust the horizontal angle, was aimed at the special red flare that continued to glow in the black smoke.

As a navigator and weapons operator, the backseat pilot observes the target situation with the help of an infrared sight on a helmet.

With the current level of technology, the payload of the helicopter is very cramped, carrying two pilots, four rocket launchers, a heavy machine gun, a set of avionics system and a number of ammunition, fuel is close to the limit, if you want to hang a set of active infrared night vision system, it is necessary to reduce the existing equipment configuration accordingly, plus the current infrared night vision system maximum irradiation distance is only five or six hundred meters, the new United Kingdom military decisively chose to implement night operations in the form of ground-air cooperation, That is, the ground forces use special signal flares and infrared irradiation equipment to guide helicopters to attack targets, and helicopter pilots only need to be equipped with simple infrared sights.

"Steady...... Steady...... Hold ...... steady" The pilot in the back seat said three times in a row, and after adjusting the longitudinal angle of the bazooka, he pressed the rocket launch button at the right time.

For the sake of airframe balance, the VS-3 two-seater helicopter gunship must fire a salvo at the left and right at the same time, two at a time, and use rockets to attack two targets at a time, which is a 120 mm heavy rocket common to the army tank unit, with high explosive type, armor-piercing type, armor-piercing type, and incendiary type, which can be matched accordingly according to the combat situation, and can easily deal with the enemy's concrete fortifications, combat vehicles and non-armored targets.

As soon as the two rockets were fired, the pilot in the front seat gently pulled the control stick to raise the helicopter's flight altitude from 60 meters above the ground to 150 meters, and then moved sideways to prevent the enemy from following the rocket trajectory to attack the helicopter. You must know that the limited load of the VS-3 is used on the blade, the bulletproof glass of the cockpit can only cope with ordinary bullets, and the engine compartment has no protection except for a thin armor plate on the front. As long as a soldier is slightly familiar with the VS-3's structure, even if he is holding a bolt-action rifle, he will be able to shoot it down within the effective range!

Moments later, the helicopter hovered again. As far as the eye could see, the battle around the perimeter of the fortified area was still raging, and rockets with tail flames could be seen from time to time between the ruins, as well as orange flames from artillery fires. The six helicopters of the 1st Squad were required to provide fire support to the ground forces in three directions, two in each direction, and there was no need to worry about repeating a single target, even the vast majority of the Scottish defenders were unaware that the enemy had invested such a new weapon.

"Look, there's our guidance signal at 11 o'clock!" Front-seat pilot reminder.

The pilot in the back seat quickly looked at it with an infrared sight: "It's enemy infantry, they are evacuating, there is no need to waste rockets, it is enough to use machine guns!" ”

With that, he adjusted the weapon switch and used the weapon lever to control the suspended machine gun located under the belly of the machine - it is derived from the anti-aircraft machine gun equipped by the new United Kingdom Army Combat Vehicle Unit, using a simple and reliable electromechanical transmission system for remote control, at the angle of fire, the 12.7 mm caliber is more than enough to deal with lightly armored and unarmored targets, and if you use tungsten core armor-piercing shells to attack the weak parts of enemy vehicles, it is entirely possible to damage or even destroy them......

Without precise aiming, the backseat pilot fired two short shots, adjusted the angle of fire through the trajectory of the tracer bullet, and then went into strafing mode, condescending to attack the Scottish soldiers who were shifting positions.

In less than half a minute, more than half of the 400 rounds of ammunition had been consumed, and the backseat pilot stopped firing and said to his partner: "The Scots have no way to fight back, and they don't even know who they are attacking!" ”

"It reminds me of the massacre of Native Americans by European colonists during the Age of Discovery." The pilot in the front seat replied as he pulled the plane back up, and he looked at the instrument panel in front of him: "We still have 30 minutes of fuel." ”

It takes at least 20 minutes each way from the airport to the battlefield, and pilots usually need to reserve some fuel for various contingencies.

"Got it! Let me see where the last target is......" The backseat pilot muttered when he suddenly saw a string of bullets—tracer bullets from a string of bullets, to be exact, flying from the ground and into the night sky in front of their line of sight.

"It seems that we underestimated the intelligence of the Scots!" He shouted, "Climb up, we're within enemy range!" ”

The pilot in the front seat steered the helicopter up with a serious face, and retreated some distance south. Despite his skill, the helicopter's reaction time is maddeningly slow, especially for pilots who have flown fixed-wing fighters in active service.

"At 2 o'clock in our direction, at a distance of less than 1000 meters, it must be a hidden anti-aircraft position of the enemy!" The backseat pilot shouted.

"It seems to be a 20 mm caliber machine gun." His partner speculated.

"That's right, it's definitely a 20mm cannon, and one bullet can send us to God! However, since they didn't hit us, let me send them to God! The backseat pilot said, "Hey, man, I need a leaning angle, about 10 degrees!" ”

"No problem!" The pilot in the front seat replied, "There is only one chance, you must seize it!" ”

The backseat pilot confidently replied: "Don't worry, it's a piece of cake for me!" ”

"It's coming!" As soon as his partner's voice fell, the helicopter changed from a horizontal flight state to a forward lean and horizontal flight.

"Three, two, one......" The backseat pilot counted down to himself, and then the flames flashed, and two rockets were fired out of the air.

The pilot in the front seat adjusted the communication knob and announced loudly: "Black Bat 4 is back!" ”

The helicopter began to steer, and the backseat pilot craned his neck to detect where the rocket had landed.

"Done?" His partner asked.

"I can't be sure!" The backseat pilot replied matter-of-factly, "They were not irradiated by our ground forces with infrared rays, and I judged their position entirely by ballistic trajectories, but you know that...... It's not very reliable! ”

"With your level, there is a chance that you will be able to hit the target, but unfortunately this blow cannot be confirmed." The front-seat pilots sighed, unbeknownst to them, that the last two rockets, while failing to destroy the Scottish anti-aircraft guns, had scared away a group of panicked Scottish gunners.

On the ground, due to the complexity of the night battle environment, the various assault detachments belonging to the 51st Infantry Assault Division were either deployed on the spot or advanced slowly, until the "Night Demon Commando" arrived on the battlefield, and the situation began to change substantially.

As a special operations force directly under the New United Kingdom Army Command, the "Daredevil Commando" is an elite combat force comparable to the Royal Guard and the Airborne Special Service Regiment, and it is also one of the most high-tech units among the new United Kingdom services. Equipped with a single-soldier infrared suit - including an infrared searchlight, an infrared scope and a special battery, paired with an STG-45 assault rifle and an M43 rocket launcher, the soldiers can defeat ordinary combat units in both long-range sniper and close-range encounters, and are definitely an invincible knife in the night combat environment!

As the "Night Demon Squad" joined the battle group, the assault detachments of the 51st Infantry Assault Division quickly adjusted their combat deployment, and the infantry followed the elite soldiers of the night battle to advance into the depth of the enemy army, using individual weapons to carry out concentrated fire attacks on enemy targets, and gunfire explosions broke out all over the fortified area......

With infantry in front of them, the "Irish Leopards" and various armored personnel carriers did not have to be as trembling and cautious as they had just been, they marched forward with a rumbling roar, tearing down the remnants of the walls, crushing the barricades, taking up advantageous positions, and properly consolidating the battle line.

A short time later, a second group of helicopter gunships arrived in the fortified area. During their daily training, the soldiers of the 51st Infantry Assault Division have come into contact with these dark blue war eagles, which are completely different from traditional fixed-wing aircraft, and are familiar with the method of using signal flares and radio to guide them to attack enemy targets.

The sound of explosions one after another was transmitted through the exhaust system to the largest underground fortification in the Ellsden Fortress area, and the supreme military commander of the place, General Gordon, the commander of the fortress, stared solemnly at the combat map that had been "occupied" by various color line symbols.

A captain staff officer hurriedly came, was glared at by Gordon, hurriedly straightened his collar, and saluted: "General, Fletcher Fort has just been lost." ”

"Fletcher Fortress has also been lost?" Gordon couldn't help frowning, the first wave of enemy troops took the initiative to evacuate the fortress area, and he was still very happy for a while, and the speed of the next wave of enemy counterattacks was completely beyond his expectations.

"Yes, generals, the officers report that the enemy has put in a new weapon that has never been seen before, a craft that can fly slowly and launch rockets at low altitudes, and they are under the guidance of the ground forces, and each attack is accurate and fierce, plus the enemy has thrown in a large number of heavy tanks, and our troops have just regained their positions and have not had time to rebuild their fortifications, the situation is very bad!" The staff officer said a lot in one breath.

General Gordon took a deep breath and ordered: "Order, all departments withdraw underground fortifications in an orderly manner, take the positions that are abandoned on their own initiative, be sure to take away the ammunition they can carry, and lay mines and traps to cause casualties to the enemy to the greatest extent, and never allow inaction to abandon positions!" ”

"Yes, General!"

After agreeing, the staff officer hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about those English prisoners?" ”

Gordon pondered for a while: "After the order just now, add another verbal order: For enemy prisoners, each department will decide for itself!" ”
