Old Testament Chapter 200. Steel Ranger
"Knight-2, watch your direction at nine o'clock, clear the wall anti-aircraft cannons, over." Major Conrad held the joystick and slightly increased the throttle, and the A-29 attack plane, which had completed the half-roll reversal, immediately began to climb altitude, and within ten seconds it was back to a safe range of 1,000 meters.
The momentary overload and vertigo caused by maneuvering maneuvers are gone, and the Steel Air Force has not many fighters, but training a qualified pilot requires more resources, and in order to ensure the efficiency and survival of sorties, the major will receive a special pressurized cabin course every week.
The A-29's thin aluminum alloy wings swayed in a small arc, and Major Conrad glanced at the river after dropping the 50-pound high-explosive bomb, and he dropped the bomb at the last moment before diving and leveling, hitting the roof of the infantry with great accuracy, and the friendly lead troops shook their arms as if in thanks. "Bang bang ......" The barrage raised by the 37MM Bofors anti-aircraft gun had to force the major to rise even further.
"Knight-2 and Knight-3, prioritize the elimination of the air defense position, Knight-4 and me, go and take the parking lot." The speed of the A-29 at this time is not fast, it is only 300 miles per hour, which is not to mention compared to supersonic jets, even compared with propeller fighters more than a hundred years ago, 300 miles per hour is definitely not a high hovering rate in low-altitude dogfights. But for outdated cannons that rely on numbers to win with anti-aircraft sights, it is more than enough.
Time-delay fuse anti-aircraft shells exploded around the attack aircraft, and the turbulence rippled through the thin propeller fighter. "Cast!" The major pressed the huge bomb throwing button, and the cluster submunitions with a narrow body that were longer than the wings split in mid-air! The 1.5-meter-long shell released nearly 100 small bombs, covering a wide area of 500×500, and under it, was the Crusader's Black Flag Panzer Camp!
The terrible air defense siren sounded at this time, and the headless fly-like soldiers panicked and wanted to board the tanks and drive away these precious vehicles, but the cluster bombs were not slow to fall at all! The fuse of the sub-munition bomb is extremely sensitive, the dense explosion sound is connected, there is no way to distinguish a single sound, the large and small oil storage tanks, transport vehicles, and pipelines in the camp are still the key objects of care, and the induced detonation is mixed with the sub-munitions, and the entire eastern city of Marietta will be turned into purgatory in two seconds, and the dazzling orange fireworks can be seen by the second wave of lightly armed troops from more than ten kilometers away!
"Good, steering, we still have 5 hours of fuel metering, start providing ground cover, Knight-1 ends." THE A-29 ATTACK AIRCRAFT HAD ONLY 1,500 ENGINE HORSEPOWER, AND THE LOW COST OF SORTIES ALSO LIMITED THE BOMB LOAD, AND THE STEEL AIR FORCE GROUND CREW MADE THE BEST USE OF EVERY INCH OF THE ATTACK AIRCRAFT, WITH TWO CLUSTER BOMBS MOUNTED ON THE WINGS ON BOTH SIDES, TWO 50-POUND HIGH-EXPLOSIVE BOMBS IN THE BELLY, TWO 20MM RAPID-FIRE CANNON PODS, AND EVEN TWO 7.62MM MACHINE GUNS INSERTED INTO THE NOSE.
Covered in camouflage nets, the lightly armed troops got up and charged, these hundreds of steel troops were light troops in the true sense of the word, they only carried a rifle, six magazines, four grenades, marched all night to bypass the confrontation line, their firepower was far less dense than the crusader sled team in front of them!
"Liberator! This is the Sky Knight, forward! We'll get rid of the infantry! Major Conrad called out to the commander of the lightly armed troops, and he put the throttle valve on one and the other
The Knight-2 attack aircraft on the side crossed him and skimmed low, and the 20mm cannon ploughed the ground and cut over the crusaders lined up in a skirmish. "I'm going to dive!" Knight-2 shouted, and the attack aircraft pulled up again, climbed to a high level, and fell vertically!
"Woo Bang Bang ~ " The 50-pound bomb overturned another infantry chariot, and the lightly armed soldiers suddenly cheered, which made people proud! We're going to attack! Who are your cannons! Dive bombers! A few rounds of circling ploughing, air superiority is everything!
Major Conrad turned the joystick, "Whew! "A huge force pushed the attack plane forward." Damn it! I was hit! The major said that the left wingtip was cut off, and not only that, but several basin-sized holes blew through the wing. I lost my spar! The control rope has broken! "The unbalanced force immediately caused the entire fighter plane to tilt to the right." It's too low here! I'm going to fly up! The Major struggled to pull the lever to the left.
"Knight-1, tail! Tail! Stinger! Stinger! The wingman pilot shouted in alarm, and the crusaders outside the city flew as small as black dots with anti-aircraft missiles dragging long trails, and the wingman immediately made evasive actions, and the Stinger missiles that had been in disrepair for a long time were not as good as they were back then, and the missiles flew past the Knight-2 that was rolling in the barrel.
However, Major Conrad was not so lucky, and the fighter plane had to fly flat at present, and any large evasive action could cause the fighter to lose control. He stared at the missiles flying through the air in the rearview mirror, and his years of experience in flying drove him to fly the fighter plane like a cloud. At the last moment, the major risked tilting and turned to the left, and the missile that should have hit the fuselage was narrowly missed.
"Didi...... "The Major pressed the lever tightly." ! I'm out of control! ”
"Knight-1, you're tailspinning! You're tailspinning! Your height is too low! "The Stinger missile forced the Knight-2 to not dare to go any lower, and it climbed to an altitude of 2,000 meters." I know! A moment of subconscious evasion completely broke the balance that the major was trying to maintain, the tail of the fighter plane was facing upward, and the fighter plane spun in place, entering the tail spin that the pilot talked about was out of control. In order to support the ground forces, the major deliberately lowered the throttle valve, and the remaining power of the A-29 at this time was completely insufficient to change the fighter to a tail spin!
"Dididi! Pull it up! Pull it up! "The avionics are starting to sound the low altitude alarm." Damn it! Straighten it! The Major roared. Parachuting! Parachuting! Knight-1! Parachuting! "The two nearby attack planes were also flying around, dodging the Crusader anti-aircraft missiles, and the pilot of the fourth plane witnessed the slow tail spin of the long plane, which meant that the long plane was losing power and he was in free fall!
"I'm going to crash land! I think I could! The Major finally snatched the stiff lever and calmed down his flight a little, and he was almost at a very low altitude.
"Help! Distress! Distress! Knight-1 is about to crash! Nearby troops, please go to the rescue immediately! I repeat, the Knight-1 is about to crash ......" the Knight-2 pilot turned on an all-channel call. "I'm going to touch the ground!" But the only thing that responded to him was Major Conrad's last sentence of alarm.
"Attention ground units, Knight-1 crashed."
……
"Woo-hoo-hoo......" Bernhard grazed the treetops with a warplane overhead, the fierce hurricane weighing down on his camouflage net hood. Our planes! He shouted. Distress! Distress! Distress
! ......" came the call of the fighter plane in the headset. "Ameli! You go to seize the city gates, I go to rescue the crashed pilot! Bernhard did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately slapped Sergeant Amélie on the shoulder. You two, come with me! ”
"Attention ground units, Knight-1 crashed." Bernhard hadn't taken a few steps before a majestic fireball rose into the air not far away. It seems to be a distant thunderbolt playing drums, which refers to the hearts of people. "Sir, it's crashed." The rangers under his hand carried guns and prompted.
Bernhard stared deeply at the end of the woods, which was full of Crusaders, and it was too difficult for the three of them to rush through, and he could only hope that the pilot was already dead, otherwise the captured high-value targets such as the Steel Air Force would be captured and taken to Harrisburg. "Okay, let's go."
Four A-29 toucans attack on Marietta brazenly attacked Marietta, creating a lot of chaos in just a few minutes, even though there were a large number of Stinger missiles threatening the remaining three fighters, the attack aircraft pilots who had dropped cluster bombs were still providing support from the sky as much as possible, the range of the Stinger was not far, the Stinger in the hands of the Crusaders was the batch of maintenance models produced before the war, -29 reformed a three-plane formation, surrounded the lightly armed troops, and assisted them in constantly breaking through the city of Marietta.
"Jump!" Bernhard ran with all his might, and in front of him was the wall of Marietta, which was about 15 feet high, and he stepped on the palm of his companion at the base of the wall, and the two of them worked together, and the steel arm of the exoskeleton supported Bernhard to leap several meters high, and he climbed the edge of the battlement, and with his arms braced, he climbed the wall first. "Ping-pong-ping-pong!" A string of bullets hit Bernhard, but it hit the cuirass of the exoskeleton, Bernhard raised his hand to protect his head, his body bowed, and the whole person burst out, the crusader in front of him was obviously a chick, and even the recoil of the stinker gun could not be controlled.
Bernhard snatched the stinky gun with his hand, stretched out his fingers, grabbed the man's head, and smashed it on the battlements! "We're going to hurry!" Bernhard grabbed the corpse's foot and neck with one hand and threw it downward, and the leading troops under the city wall immediately jumped hard, dragging the corpse three or two times and crawling over the city wall.
Bernhard threw down the headless body, twisted his waist, and flicked his AEK rifle over the AEK rifle, and they looked condescendingly at Marietta, who was caught in the fire, only this time it was the Crusaders who suffered. "Our target is the gunman Ludendorff, brothers! Let's go home with the head of the knight of war! Bernhard shouted.
"We're Rangers!"
"Break through the dangers! Never stop! Several of the Steel Rangers immediately picked up their motto, and the entire lead force didn't bother to take the stairs and jumped straight into it.
"Marietta said that the camp of the Gunners is in the middle school, Convair, Schsmith, you two go and paralyze the Knights' convoy vehicles as much as you can, Amélie, you go to half of the people to guard the street entrance, and the rest, follow me in!" The A-29 air raids not only destroyed the Black Flag Panzer camp, but also cut off the communications of the Crusader divisions.
"The Black Flag minions will surround us! There are only fifteen of us! His men hesitated slightly. Bernhard fired a penalty shot, swept down several flaming crusaders at the corner of the street, and turned his head and threw a fierce look: "There is no time to be cautious!" Walk! Go catch a pig and put it in the pot! ”
