As an advocate of artillery, the Soviet Union has carried out a lot of reforms in order to advance its own mechanized armored forces, such as moving the anti-aircraft gun to a tracked chassis and turning the anti-aircraft gun into a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, which can maximize the safety of the armored forces in the advance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And after the appearance of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in the armored forces of the USSR, the West began to develop corresponding weapons.

The ZSU-23-4 "Shilekha" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, which was officially in service for 65 years, basically replaced all ZSU-57-2 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in the anti-aircraft artillery regiments of motorized infantry divisions and tank divisions by the beginning of the 70s. After the reorganization, the Soviet tank regiment and the motorized infantry regiment were subordinate to the anti-aircraft artillery-anti-aircraft missile company, which was composed of a mixture of antiaircraft artillery and missiles. Each company has an anti-aircraft artillery platoon equipped with four ZSU-23-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and a missile platoon equipped with four sets of 9K31 or 9K35 surface-to-air missiles.

During the battle, the "Shilka" self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery platoon is usually deployed with two guns at an interval of 200 meters at a distance of 400 meters behind the battle formation of the main tank battalion or motorized infantry battalion, and is close to the battalion headquarters when marching; And the 9K31 or 9K35 SAM platoons are usually used to cover the direct units of the regiment, which are close to the regimental headquarters when marching and deploy 1 to 3 km from the front line when attacking.

Now, the armored units on the march, in the face of the sudden appearance of helicopter gunships, immediately attacked.

From a purely technical point of view, the "Shilka" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun may not be advanced, but its biggest advantage is firepower! A four-barreled 23mm anti-aircraft gun that can fire a violent metal storm! In later generations, even until the Gulf War, allied pilots were told to fight in the airspace where the Shilka anti-aircraft guns were present on the ground, and that they should not fly at an altitude of less than 1,300 meters, so as not to be shot down by such ferocious anti-aircraft guns. When covered by the shells fired by such anti-aircraft guns, it was a hellish sight!

The 1PL33 radar at the rear of the turret immediately emitted electromagnetic waves, and the artillery aiming radar using the cone scanning system took only one second to capture the target, and then the electromechanical computer began to calculate the target, but unfortunately, limited by the performance of this computer, it took nearly ten seconds to calculate the emission elements.

Of course, the gunner could not wait so long, and at the same time as the gunner's aiming radar scanned the target, the gunner had already cooperated with the optical aiming device, rotated the turret, increased the elevation angle of the anti-aircraft gun, and stepped on the firing button.

"Knock, knock." The sound of the anti-aircraft artillery was crisp and rapid, and the smoke of gunpowder continued to emerge from the muzzle, and in the tongue of fire, one after another 23-mm anti-aircraft artillery shells flew out of the muzzle. With a fierce roar of death, he flew towards the helicopter opposite. Shilka is roaring, and the rain of death is flying!

Damn it! After discovering the opponent's self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, Inoue Jiro immediately pulled the total moment lever to pull the helicopter high.

Unbeknownst to him, he had made a fatal mistake.

In the face of this kind of small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery with dense firepower, it is the way to survive by keeping the altitude as low as possible, after all, the combat space of the helicopter is the height of a tree, and now he has raised his own height, which is simply self-defeating!

"Boom!" The 23-mm anti-aircraft artillery shell exploded around the helicopter, and black smoke appeared, and the air flow generated by the explosion instantly made the cobra jolt.

Inoue Jiro was still pulling up, and at the same time, the fire flashed under the short wings, and a Tao anti-tank missile, already under the operation of the weapon operator, flew out.

"Boom!" At this moment, a high-explosive shell exploded in the lower part of the Cobra, and although the Cobra helicopter laid armor in key parts, these armors simply could not stop the shells of the 23-mm anti-aircraft guns!

"Boom!" Another one, this shell, hit the glass of the cobra directly!

At the time of development, the glass of the Cobra helicopter was all bulletproof, but when it was officially finalized, it was replaced with ordinary tempered glass, for the simple reason that it was overweight.

Now, the 23-mm shell that hit the glass easily tore through the entire glass, and the flying shrapnel, coupled with the broken glass, instantly beat the driving Inoue Jiro into a bloody blur.

The helicopter in the air, like a monster on the verge of death, shook in the air under the blow of 4 barrels of 23-mm anti-aircraft guns, followed, caught fire and fell down.

The anti-tank missile, which had already flown out, also turned into an uncontrolled rocket, and after continuing to fly for several hundred meters, it fell.

The rapid response of the "Shilka" self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery bought time for other troops, and the 9K31 wheeled self-propelled anti-aircraft missile launcher also launched an attack queue, and the motorized infantry divisions in the rear shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles were also ready.

There are also their own helicopter gunships, and the huge female deer flew up.

The flood of Soviet armor, which simply would not be afraid of the attack of a couple of helicopters! They are confident that they will shoot down any enemy who comes their way!

At the same time, news of the attack by helicopter gunships from the island nation was quickly reported to the rear.

Take off the fighter! The Soviet Aerospace Forces, which had been waiting for a long time, had long been full of fuel and ammunition, and after receiving the order, one fighter plane after another quickly took off and kept climbing!

Air supremacy! Air supremacy over Hokkaido must be firmly in the hands of the Soviets! Only by seizing air supremacy will the helicopters of the island people not dare to take off, and their own armored forces will be able to pounce on the southern part of Hokkaido!

Today's air battle will be particularly fierce!

Over the Sea of Okhotsk, an AWACS aircraft with a mushroom tray on its head is cruising on the scheduled route. The Soviet Union's valuable Tu-126 early warning aircraft is providing important early warning.

Next to this plane, there is also a Yak-28PP "Conspirator" E electronic jamming plane, and if the Americans start electronic jamming, they will not be outdone and will also turn on electronic jamming, and they cannot suffer losses in electronic warfare.

At the same time, there are two large fighter jets, protected by the side, just from the appearance, very similar to the MiG-25, but if you look closely, you can find that there are many differences, for example, the cockpit is much larger, and there is a second personnel seat in the back.

Until now, NATO has not discovered the Soviet MiG-31 interceptor, and has always thought that this is just a modification of the MiG-25, with enhanced radar and improved new medium-range missiles.

They didn't guess wrong, this thing was originally an improvement of the MiG-25. (To be continued.) )
