Chapter 180 Gunboat in the Air, Shadow Blade Pilots!
The sun is shining, the clouds are light and the wind is clear!
Amidst the rumbling roar of the piston-8A engine, the Y-6 transport plane soared smoothly between the blue sky and the sea of clouds.
In the cabin, Xie Lei and twenty members of the Shadow Blade team sat on both sides of the cabin!
Looking at the group of shadow strikers with a little excitement on their faces, a trace of depth flashed in Xie Lei's eyes!
Yao remembers that when the recruits received the troops, he, as a cadre leading the troops, once said to Li Kuiyong: "Don't talk about cars, even tanks, I will let you drive enough!" ”
At that time, Li Kuiyong asked excitedly: "Can you really drive a tank?" ”
Li Muyan said with a smile: "It's not just a tank, if the mission requires it, we also have to fly a plane!" ”
I didn't expect to be really hit by Li Mu's words!
This time they're really going to fly! Not only to fly airplanes, but also fighter jets and another new type of combat aircraft - air gunboats!
It all started a month ago!
Li Mu took Zhou Xiaobai, Li Kuiyong, Lei Kaihua, Lei Keming, and Ning Wei all the way back to the Yingfeng base.
Looking at the familiar Nine Courtyards and the familiar Daba Mountain, a trace of comfort flashed in Li Mu's eyes, it's better to go home!
In the welcome party organized by Liu Yijiu Xie Lei, Zhou Xiaobai and the five of them also successfully integrated into the big family of Yingfeng!
In addition, one thing happened, that is, the remaining sixteen old shadow fronts, including Li Mu, all received orders to Tigan!
This is a reward for all their achievements over the past year!
However, relatively speaking, Li Mu and the others didn't seem to care very much!
Because although the sector has been improved, they are still members of Shadow Blade, and they still have to participate in the battle!
And their captains and instructors are still Xie Lei and Liu Yijiu!
The squad leader is still Li Mu and Shi Bing!
It's just that the allowance fee has increased, and there is no place to spend it!
With everything on track, the Shadow Strikers quickly returned to their normal training!
Until one day, Liu Yijiu found Li Mu with a mysterious face and said softly: "Have you heard of the air gunboat?" ”
Li Mu couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this!
The concept of an aerial gunboat first appeared in the 20s of the 20th century! At that time, the Amerik Imperial Army Air Corps (the predecessor of the Amerik Imperial Air Force) began conceptual research on fighters with flank firepower. During World War II, the Amerik Imperial Army revived the need to develop a fighter with flank firepower, but the concept remained on the drawing board for a long time, and it was not until the outbreak of the Annam War that it began to be implemented.
The first to be introduced was the AC-47 Ghost aerial gunboat.
The AC-47 has three General Electric rapid-fire machine guns mounted on the cargo door and in the left viewing window immediately adjacent to the cargo door, which can fire 6,000 rounds of 7.62 mm machine gun rounds per minute. The appearance in the skies over Annam caused heavy losses to the Annan guerrillas, who were good at night activities.
With the gradual development of science and technology and the needs of combat, the AC-119K "Stinger" and the famous AC-130 aerial gunboat were also extended.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he said softly: "You want to engage in air gunboats?" ”
Hearing Li Mu's words, Liu Yijiu said with a smile: "It's been done!" With its strong firepower, wide coverage, and long combat cruising time, the air gunboat has an irreplaceable role in anti-guerrilla warfare, judging from the development process of the air gunboat of the Amerik Empire, they attach great importance to this special aircraft, and the aircraft has also proved its value in actual combat, especially in the Annam War, for the Annam Empire, which has weak prevention and control, it is a killing god, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha! ”
"Nowadays, moles exist in many of our no-man's lands, and they secretly make holes and make their homes! This kind of behavior is really disgusting! But it would be too much time to defeat him by relying on our shadow blades to defeat him one by one, so there was the implementation of the aerial gunboat plan! ”
Hearing Liu Yijiu's words, the corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered: "Big brother, we are army special forces!" ”
Hearing this, the interests shook their heads with a serious face and said, "No, we are an experimental army!" And the special operation is only part of it! Of course, the air gunboat unit is only a part! ”
After hearing this, the corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't refute it out loud, which was equivalent to acquiescence!
As for the conditions for the selection of pilots mentioned in later generations, what can't have scars on the body, Li Mu and Liu Yijiu didn't mention it very tacitly!
Because none of these conditions are hard conditions!
For example, because the pressure at high air is very low, if the atmospheric pressure is lower than the internal pressure of the person, the pressure in the body will expand to a certain extent, and in this case, the scar may be torn.
There is some truth to this, but it is just alarmist!
Human skin scratches and cracks are not so fragile after normal healing, and the wound cannot be cracked due to pressure problems when flying at high altitude! Even in space, it is not necessarily cracked, and we can refer to the high-scoring movie "Gravity" for this problem, which has been deeply explored by many aerospace experts and senior astronauts.
One of the shots is that the astronauts' space shuttle was knocked out of a big hole, and the astronauts in the space shuttle died instantly without wearing spacesuits, if the wound will collapse at high altitude, the astronauts in the vacuum should be crushed, but this high-scoring movie with exquisite workmanship did not tear the astronauts in the plane apart, but completely floated in a vacuum, this detail has not been blamed by any senior astronauts and aerospace experts, indicating that it is in line with the law of human performance under vacuum. In other words, people's skin is less fragile.
It is not difficult to understand that the human eardrum, oral cavity, eyeball and other organs are far from being as solid as the wound that heals, and if the wound will collapse, these organs should be cracked first, but the pilot did not rupture the eyeball and eardrum during the highly violent maneuvering flight.
After all, people with physical scars are likely to be people who have misconduct and often get into fights, or patients who have had serious illnesses and surgeries, or even people who have acquired disabilities.
Speaking of which, it is not difficult to understand that it is not a hard condition to reject people with scars, if it is in a tense wartime state and the country urgently needs a large number of pilots, not to mention that with a few scars is missing arms and legs, it is also possible to fly fighters to participate in the war, just like Lyubimov of the Russian Empire and Douglas-Bard of the Engels Empire during World War II, the latter even achieved an astonishing 22 results.
With the completion of the discussion of Liu Yijiu, Xie Lei, and Li Mu, there was a scene of a group of shadow front team members sitting on the Yunliu Transport Plane!
First of all, they had to go to the 73rd Air Division, the 101st Regiment for flight training!
Then the garrison Duda Airport received new equipment and began to clear the moles!
As his thoughts continued to drift away, Li Mu sat in the cabin, looking at the silky clouds outside the cabin through the window of the cabin, and he was stunned!
"Attention, attention! Landing at Kashi Military Airport ahead, please get ready! ”
With a notice from the driver-6 of the Yun-6, Li Mu's thoughts were interrupted, and Li Mu, who came back to his senses, tightened the seat belt tightly tied to his waist, and whispered: "Great Northwest, I'm back again!" ”
