Chapter 801: Aircraft Carrier Formation Discovered
"Boom, boom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "In the distant sky, there was a roar of engines.
Damn it! Cruise rushed out of his room and saw two carrier-based helicopters of the US Navy, SH-3 Sea King, appear in the sky in the distance!
The helicopters of the Americans actually flew to these oil platforms of their own! Although it is impossible to find the ground-effect aircraft hidden under the oil platform from the satellite pictures, if the Yankee helicopter keeps flying around its own platform, it can still find some clues!
What a damn one! What to do? At this moment, Cruise thought of something and ran towards the back of the platform, shouting as he ran: "Ignition, ignition!" ”
These are two helicopters that took off from the Leahy-class cruiser, and their main mission this time is to search the nearby sea, especially the oil platforms here.
Although they are not authorized to strike at these oil platforms, the American helicopter pilots are extremely hated for these oil platforms, the oil platforms that Argentina cooperated with Iraq? It was clearly the Soviets who intervened! Remembering the losses suffered by their own side during the bombing of the Falklands last time, the American pilots were even more itchy!
"Be careful, approach the opposing oil platform and be prepared for an attack." Captain Locke said.
Are these oil platforms just ordinary oil platforms, or is there something weird? For example, some weapons such as anti-ship missiles are placed on it, waiting for an opportunity to attack US warships? The United States has to do some investigation! So, instead of acting, the American aircraft carrier group sent two helicopters to search.
Until there is no other news, these things, are civilian facilities.
And if your own helicopter is attacked, it is different, it immediately becomes a military target! Even if someone from above shoots at you with an assault rifle, it's a militant!
The helicopter slowly approached, and at the same time, the pilot was ready, and once he found that there was a situation above, he immediately opened the throttle and quickly evacuated, and then called the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier to come and destroy all these oil platforms.
In the engine room at the back, the hatch opened, and there was a soldier of the Marine Corps, operating a large-caliber machine gun on one side, although this kind of aircraft has no short wings on both sides, and cannot carry bombs or anything, but the large-caliber machine gun to deal with an oil platform is also a powerful weapon!
"Damn, what's that?" Just as he was about to get closer, he saw a blazing flame rising from the mouth of a pipe erected high above the oil platform, and thick smoke billowed out.
At the same time, everyone on the platform came out of the platform, stood on it, and shouted loudly.
Locke glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment: "This is really an oil platform, the Argentines are so lucky, it has only been a few days, and they have successfully pumped out oil." ”
As an experienced naval pilot, Locke has certainly seen such a scene, offshore oil platforms, if you want to drill oil wells, you have to be lucky many times, and now, this oil well has successfully extracted oil! And that nozzle is the eruption gas burning! This is wasteful, but it is also essential.
A bunch of guys who have gone **** luck!
"The next oil platform!" Locke said.
The cheering crowd looked so hateful, and Locke was in no mood to greet them, let alone greet them with the machine gun in the back, although he actually had this impulse, but he still suppressed his violent mood.
In the sky, two helicopters flew away, and the personnel on the platform let out a long breath.
This oil platform is simply camouflaged, and now in this situation, where are the Argentines in the mood to drill oil wells! This is the hiding spot for their secret attack aircraft carrier weapons!
And just now, it was not the crude oil and gas that burned at all, but the fuel oil stored on this oil platform! For an oil platform to work, it needs power, and this is generated by its own generators on the oil platform! At the same time, in order to serve the ground effect aircraft, the platform also stores the aviation fuel required by the ground effect aircraft.
Now, the Americans have finally flown away, and the crowd that had just cheered was considered to have dropped a big rock.
"It seems that the Americans have become suspicious of the oil platforms here, and we must launch an attack as soon as possible." Cruise said, "Marchestan, how are you practicing?" ”
Although the Soviets can also stay on the ground effect aircraft to help the Argentines when necessary, it is better to let the Argentines operate it themselves, which is more safe, and it has nothing to do with the Soviet Union, if the American aircraft carrier is not destroyed, it was killed by the American carrier-based aircraft, and it was the Argentines who died.
Hearing Cruise's question, Marchestein said, "We're fully familiar with the essentials, but we haven't done it yet. ”
Even if you learn to drive, you can't just drive without moving, just hug the steering wheel on it, and if you want to drive such a behemoth, without actual operation, it is absolutely impossible.
"Then we will conduct a practical operation tonight and master the operation of this weapon as soon as possible." "We don't have much time left," Cruise said. ”
In order to prevent detection by the Americans, this kind of ground effect aircraft is currently in a state of high secrecy, and the actual operation must be put into the night!
Marchestan nodded: "We can't wait!" Even if we strike now and take out the aircraft carriers of the Americans, we are confident! ”
It's hard to say, but as long as you understand it thoroughly, you can figure it out, and the person in charge of piloting this ground-effect aircraft is a skilled pilot with 1,000 flight hours, as long as you are familiar with the Soviet instrument, there is no big problem.
"Let's go, now let's go ahead and familiarize ourselves with the operation." Macherdam said, and began to walk down the ladder.
The ground effect aircraft below has been painted blue, almost integrated with the sea, just now it is actually not ignited, as long as the other party does not look carefully, it will never be seen, and at the same time, the tail fin is also painted with the logo of the Argentine Navy.
The eight engines on both sides have been tightly wrapped in tarpaulin to prevent the erosion of salt at sea, and the oil platform is so rudimentary that if there is a problem with the engine, it will not be able to be repaired.
The time of the day passed quickly, and the night came again. (To be continued.) )
