Chapter 537: Ground anti-aircraft fire

readx;

The original AC-130E, this ordinary designation, may not interest ordinary people, but, speaking of its nickname, it has always been talked about, air gunboats!

AC-130 is an improved armed attack aircraft based on the C-130 transport aircraft of the American Rockwell Company, which can fire from the fuselage to attack ground targets, mainly used to perform tasks such as close air support, air interdiction and air cover, and can also be used to perform reconnaissance, simple command and control and combat search and rescue missions.

This kind of aircraft is equipped with machine guns, 2 40mm cannons, forward-looking infrared radar, digital fire control computer, ASQ-145 low-light TV, AVQ-18 laser pointer / rangefinder and other devices, if this kind of aircraft is used to fight with the opponent's fighters, then, outside the line of sight, it will be unceremoniously shot down, but for the US Air Force, which has completely seized air supremacy, it is very valuable to use this kind of air gunboat.

With such an aircraft, it is possible to easily destroy the armed forces, fortifications, vehicles, and personnel on the ground in a large area, all of which will be shrouded in dense fire on both sides of the fuselage. (After upgrading to the AC-130E, the front and rear guns have been removed, leaving only side fire.) As a result, the AC-130 rotates in a counterclockwise direction around the target of the YU attack, so that it can concentrate on the target and dense artillery fire from all directions, instantly disintegrating the ground force. ≦≧ during the Vietnam War, a fleet of 11 AC-130s destroyed more than 10,000 enemy vehicles. The power of this aerial gunboat is well deserved!

Because of this kind of mission, the biggest threat is the artillery fire on the ground, so this kind of aircraft has heavy armor at the bottom, which can completely hard-catch the high shè fire below.

Receiving an order, the AC-130 group behind it, broke away from the C-130 transport aircraft group. Prepare to pour your own heavy artillery fire on the ground.

"Attention, the planes of the Americans are coming." Hearing the rumbling sound from far and near, the armed men on the ground, who had already been waiting for a long time, clenched the weapons in their hands.

In front of an air-raid shelter constructed by his side, Vramyr carefully observed the group of planes coming with a telescope, and it seemed that it was an American transport plane, waiting for the other side's umbrella flowers to bloom in the sky. That's when they hunted the Americans!

But. As the transport plane gradually approached, Vlamir's face suddenly changed: "No one is allowed to fire, pay attention to concealment." ≦≧ protect yourself! ”

He had already looked through the telescope and saw the side doors of those planes that were open.

If it is an airborne force, the tailgate of the aircraft should be opened. The kind of downturned tailgate is a good airborne platform for the Airborne Forces.

And now, the other party actually opened the side door, which shows that it is not a transport plane, but an air gunboat of the US Air Force!

As soon as Vlamir's words fell, he saw that dense fire appeared on the sides of those flying planes, and he was conducting intensive tentative sweeping around.

Vlamir's words reached only mercenaries and Cuban soldiers. Grenada's native troops, on the other hand, did not receive this order.

The soldiers of Grenada, who had been waiting for a long time, began to cāo as weapons in their hands, and slammed into the air.

However, in doing so, they exposed their fire targets and followed. They were mercilessly hit by the fire from the sky.

Striking the sky from the ground, the probability of hitting is small, and even if it hits, it is mainly used against large-caliber machine guns of paratroopers, and against fast-flying aircraft with armor at the bottom. ≦≧ had no effect. However, hit the ground from the sky. It is very easy for an air gunboat with advanced sighting equipment.

Under the blows of the gunboats in the air, the anti-aircraft firing points that had just opened fire were cleared one by one by them, and they carried out this work with great ease.

"Captain, let's use anti-aircraft missiles!" One soldier said that the Soviet fighters were outraged by the sight of the American planes raging so much.

"No, pay attention to concealment, and it will be time for us to start in a while." Vramir said.

With anti-aircraft missiles, the problem cannot be completely solved, because they have a limited number of anti-aircraft missiles at hand, and as long as they fire at the air, then, at the next moment, they will be fiercely counterattacked, and they are not afraid of death, but they must die meaningfully.

Their target is the paratroopers of the Americans, they are not the Air Force, and they cannot compete with these American planes, even if they shoot down a few planes, there will be a steady stream of fighters flying behind them. ≦≧

Bear with it, it's over, as long as the Americans think it's safe here, and the fire below is cleared, they will definitely parachute, and when the time comes, those American GIs who jumped out of the cabin, let them bear this depression!

The US planes, which looked like flies overhead, flew away in batches, and another batch came, and the attack planes of the US Navy also rushed to the battlefield, swept the ground again, set off several hidden fire points, and flew away again.

As the third group of attack planes flew by, they believed that the ground had been cleared and their airborne troops could reach the battlefield smoothly.

Vlamir, who was hiding in the bunker, heard the sound of a large group of planes flying overhead again, and he felt a thrill in his heart, the Americans still couldn't hold it back, they finally dispatched!

"Ready, this time we're going to do a big one, and we're going to open the Americans in the air." Vramyr cautiously came to the outside of the bunker and looked at the slow planes flying in the sky, they actually chose to land at such a low altitude!

"Get into your position and prepare to open fire into the air. ≦≧," he commanded eagerly.

In order to shorten the airborne time, the airborne troops will generally start airborne at the same time several planes, Vlamir originally wanted to wait for the other side to all be airborne, and when they did not land, they opened fire in an all-round way, so as not to scare the subsequent paratroopers away and did not dare to land, but now the altitude of the opponent's airborne is very low, if you wait for everyone to parachute, then, the first to parachute, I am afraid that it has already landed.

There is no choice but to prepare to fire immediately!

Looking at the empty airfield below, the American airborne troops had no time to hesitate, they eagerly shot one by one, in two rows, from the two sides of the tail, along the open tail hatch, jumped out, as long as one jump, the parachute behind will be pulled apart by the hook in the upper part of the tail cabin, and the parachute flower will appear.

At such a low altitude, if you jump out by yourself, relax your mood, and then pull the parachute, maybe you will fall before you can land at a low enough speed.

More than 300 people from the 1st Special Battalion in front of them first jumped out of the cabin one by one.

Seeing that the umbrella flower had already unfolded in the sky, a beautiful smile appeared on Vlamir's face: "All anti-air firepower, fire together!" ”

"The landing is normal."

"Our paratroopers have all jumped out of the cabin. Second, the Einsatzgruppen Battalion can continue parachuting. ”

"Okay, let's go to the airborne zone immediately."

"Oh shit, there's artillery fire on the ground!"

The C-130 transport aircraft, without the thick armor of the AC-130E, after the pilots saw the fire flying on the ground, they immediately began to accelerate and climb higher, breaking away from this terrible fire net, looking at the density, I am afraid that there are dozens of dense fire points against the air! Those rice buckets, how did they clear the anti-aircraft fire on the ground!

At this time, the pilots could no longer care about the fate of the soldiers who had already parachuted, as long as they left the cabin, it had nothing to do with them.

By this time, the paratroopers had become targets for anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and many of them had already been killed by ground fire while they were still in the sky.

It's a death fall!

There were also some paratroopers, who were fine, but the parachutes above their heads were beaten into a sieve, and they couldn't hold the air, and their own bodies were falling rapidly, and because they were so close to the ground, they didn't have a chance to pull the spare parachute at all, and they were already smashed into meatloaf.

………

"The greatest threat to the Airborne Forces is ground anti-aircraft fire, which is why we need to equip the Airborne Forces with helicopter gunships." Qusay said: "Before the airborne, we must first clear the ground anti-aircraft fire, so the task of the armed helicopter is very difficult, and before that, our intelligence work must also be accurate, the firepower deployment of the airborne site is all thorough, when the time comes, we can find the target for strike, and at the same time, one of the keys to the success of our plan is the surprise attack!" Therefore, our specific plans must be strictly confidential. ”

Although the airborne regiment has already begun intensive preparations and training, they have not yet heard the specific instructions from His Excellency Qusay, including Defense Minister Adnan, for specific combat missions, so they have been kept in the dark for the past few days.

Now, they finally couldn't hold it anymore, Adnan first asked: "Your Excellency Qusay, our Airborne Troops, with such intense training, where are we going to suddenly appear?" ”

Looking at his subordinates, Kusai knew that his plan should finally be conveyed to them, and the specific refinement work still depends on them to complete.

"We're going to be airborne in Tehran." Qusay said. "At the Tehran Air Base, the Zhèngfu building in Tehran, the Ministry of Defense in Tehran, we are going to fall from the sky and take all these places."

Tehran! Everyone was shocked that the battle of the Northern Military District had been fought so far that it was impossible to achieve the original strategic goal, but His Excellency Qusay proposed a march that no one dared to think of: the Airborne Forces occupied Tehran!

Adnan frowned, with a force that had just been formed and only more than 2,000 airborne troops, he wanted to completely take Tehran, which was very dangerous! To be continued
