505 The Fall of the Vanguard
Stand in front of the flaming wreckage of a Leopard tank and look up at the dark night sky. Lin Chi turned around and walked into the unusually sturdy apartment building, standing in the brightly lit corridor on the first floor, vigilantly observing the movement outside.
The helicopter gunship mentioned by the woman in black has not yet appeared. However, Lin Chi was still vigilant and ready for battle:
Even in 1990, helicopter gunships could attack infantry from a distance of nearly two kilometers, after all, in those days, the once fierce "king of helicopter gunships", the AH-64 Apache helicopter gunship, had long been put into service.
Early production Apache helicopters were equipped with the highly efficient Forward-Looking Thermal Imaging System (FLIR), which had a maximum viewing range of 13 kilometers and a distance of 2.4 kilometers from friend to foe.
As the first helicopter gunship to be equipped with FLIR on a large scale, the Apache became a nightmare for enemy infantry and tanks from its debut, with an advanced forward-looking thermal imaging system that is more than a fraction of a star better than the previous generation, and can even remotely detect enemies hiding in trees or bunkers, and launch a deadly attack directly from up to two kilometers away!
However, as far as Lin Chi knows, the first generation of forward-looking thermal imaging systems should use primitive mechanical scanning, and this kind of equipment actually has a huge weakness.
Looking at the smoke rising above the burning tank wreckage, Lin Chi picked up a few grenades from the corpse of the black-clothed soldier next to him and threw them into the open space in front of the apartment building, further expanding the scope of the burning area, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief.
ββThe first generation of thermal imaging equipment on the gunship could not observe the rear target through the flames, which is why the early Apache helicopters often continued to use cannons to "mend the knife" to the flame-covered area after launching missiles to bombard the enemy during their missions, and completely destroy the opponents who may still be alive through the inhumane whipping tactics.
Now, the flames and smoke in the open space in front of the apartment building have obscured the view ahead, and even if the helicopter launched an attack from the back of the apartment building, the helicopter cannons and missiles alone will not be able to penetrate the apartment building, which cannot be blown up by cruise missiles.
So now, if that helicopter still wants to search for enemies in the apartment building, it can only get close to this building, and as long as it is within Lin Chi's range, that powerful Stinger missile can come in handy!
The wreckage of the Leopard 2 tank crackled, and the flames brought out billowing smoke and rushed into the sky, Lin Chi calmed down, listened to the noise in the air, and then quickly noticed that in the distant sky, there was a screeching sound of helicopter propellers tearing through the air.
- The enemy has appeared!
Realizing that the gunship had arrived, he slung the Stinger missile over his shoulder and stood in front of the window, long gone, to observe the situation in the sky.
The flames and smoke in the square not only obscured the view of the gunship, but also blocked Lin Chi's vision, and under this visibility, the long-range combat that the gunship was good at could not be realized, and he could only approach the apartment building to find the enemy.
This originally very unfair duel has changed from an over-the-horizon battle in which the infantry has no chance of winning to a close-range "western fight"!
Now, the difference between victory and defeat is who sees the other first!
Thinking of this, Lin Chi squinted his eyes, trying to confirm the location of the helicopter, the sound of the propeller breaking the wind getting closer and closer, and soon approached the sky above the apartment building, and then-
Buzzing......
A low roar swept up from the front of the clearing, blowing away the smoke above the wreckage of the tank, and an extremely dangerous black shadow suddenly appeared in Lin Chi's sight.
Now is the time!
At the moment of seeing the helicopter, Lin Chi was already half-kneeling in front of the window of the corridor of the apartment building, which had long been out of glass, and aimed the Stinger missile's cross-shaped optical sight at the helicopter gunship that was rapidly expanding in his line of sight.
Three seconds later, a prompt sounding symbolizing the completion of the lock sounded from the missile launcher, and Lin Chi activated the launcher without hesitation. With a sharp whistling sound, the slender missile took off from the launch tube, bringing out a dazzling flash of fire, and flew straight towards the gunship that was rushing towards it.
At the same time, under the fuselage of the helicopter, a deadly fire also lit up!
Bang bang bang......
The thirty-millimeter cannon swept out a deadly whip in the clearing, and whipped towards Lin Chi's location. Lin Chi threw away the missile launcher in his hand, turned around and rushed into a room next to him, and just as he hid in the bedroom, a tyrannical hot wind blew in from the door, making him red.
The helicopter cannon couldn't penetrate the walls of the "invulnerable" apartment building, but it did blast into the hallways through the windows. Although it could not cause direct damage to Lin Chi, the noise and heat brought out by the machine cannon shells that exploded at such a distance were still enough......
The deafening noise caused Lin Chi to lose his hearing for a while, but he was only deaf for less than two seconds before an even more shocking explosion sounded from the roof of the building, once again violently recalling his hearing, causing the entire building to tremble.
Hearing this voice, Lin Chi's smoke-blackened and red face finally showed another smile:
"It's ...... Helicopter crashed? β
It seems that the simple and crude "cowboy duel" just now should have come to an end. And the winning side is undoubtedly yourself!
The hallway was filled with choking smoke, and the dazzling Christmas lights on the first floor had long since been extinguished. Lin Chi, who had solved the helicopter, returned to the living room and was about to leave the apartment building where a fire might break out at any time, but he saw a vague black shadow floating in, and at the same time, there was an eerie voice:
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Seeing this scene, Lin Chi's heart suddenly sank again, frowned and muttered, "You're not dead yet." β
- It's a pioneer!
The haunting vampire did not die under the attack of the missile, but hid in the apartment building and carried it, and then took advantage of the time when the lights on the first floor went out, and finally returned to the floor where he could not set foot in!
"Fresh...... The ......erratic black shadow let out a hoarse howl and pounced on Lin Chi.
This low-level vampire, who was almost killed by the Christmas lights and flashbangs, couldn't resist the urge to suck blood, and began to attack in a shadowy state.
Between the lightning and flint, Lin Chi was about to bend down to dodge the enemy who rushed over, but the figure of the vampire suddenly froze, and then- let out a miserable howl, which shook Lin Chi's left ear and began to bleed:
"Ahh
Lin Chi fixed his eyes and saw an equally dark figure, which appeared behind the pioneer at some point, the silver long blade in his hand ruthlessly pierced the chest of the low-level vampire, nailing the black mist to the floor of the living room.
"This idiot really didn't disappoint me!" Jane in the form of a royal sister had a big smile on her face, and once again pulled out a silver long knife in her left hand, nailing it through the vampire's head.
Witnessing the miserable situation of the pioneers, Lin Chi immediately understood what had just happened, and asked angrily: "So, are you using me as bait?" β
"I'm sorry." Jane blinked slyly.
