Chapter 399: The Kiss of the Angel of Death
Unlike those glamorous jet fighters that can soar to the speed of sound at every turn, the AC-130U is a low-speed ground support attack aircraft that can stay in the air for a long time, and it appeared to solve the problem of continuous air fire support. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoIts on-board observation device makes it easy to find the infrared beacons used by the Navy SEALs to identify their location in the dark, and then lock onto targets targeted by the guided infrared beams.
"This is Big Lawn Mower One, and it's already on target. Repeat, target locked. "The fire controller on the AC-130U briefed the ground guidance troops.
"Okay, let's withdraw to the No. 1 assembly site, and the Air Force Daddy will come to the waves." An Yanxin said to his teammates.
After receiving the news that the ground guidance troops had withdrawn from the concealed area, the large lawn mower No. 1 used a 25mm GBU12 machine gun to strafe the target building below. At this time, the large lawnmower 1 hovering in the air is circling counterclockwise, so that the 25mm GBU12 cannon on the left side of its fuselage is always firing at the target building.
In the 80s of the 20th century, in the "Fury Operation" of the US invasion of Grenada, the predecessor of the Great Lawn Mower No. 1 AC-130H used the same "lighthouse circling" tactic, so that all the vehicles of the 2000th Panamanian Brigade were turned into scrap metal in 5 minutes, which shows that the air gunboat that does "lighthouse circling" in the air is worthy of its nickname of "Angel of Death".
Compared to the AC-130H used by the Eagle Air Force in Operation Fury, the AC-130U replaced the original two M61 cannons with a GUB12 cannon, but was also equipped with the ancestral 40mm Fox anti-aircraft gun and the 105mm howitzer.
If it weren't for the fire controller's locking on to the 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 105mm howitzers, the restless fingers of the bear children could have torn down the buildings on the ground to rubble in an instant.
The GBU12 machine gun tilted the ammunition towards the target at an altitude of 3,000 meters at a rate of fire of 1,800 rounds per minute, and the weapon operator Cheng Ziyi pressed the button on the joystick with his finger and then released.
On the monitor screen in front of her, black balls rose in the dark gray image, which were the images left on the monitor by the fire from the explosion on the ground.
The crew of the AC-130U, hovering three thousand meters above the ground, could only see a small amount of fire flickering in the darkness in the distance, and even the images magnified by the fully active low-light night vision camera were nothing more than clusters of black shadows emerging from a dark gray outline.
For the crew members of the AC-130U, the air raid missions they carried out were far less emotional than the game graphics in Call of Duty 8. But those on the ground who had just survived the close-range strafing of the GBU12 machine guns were shocked enough, and they estimated that they would never forget this metal storm that fell into the sky for the rest of their lives.
Passing through the so-called demolition of the tiles has completely turned into a demolition of walls and beams, and these brick and wood buildings simply cannot withstand the smashing of 25mm high-explosive grenades. The house that was intact a minute ago has suddenly become the kind of dilapidated temple with ventilation and rain leakage.
Under the reflection of the firelight, the broken walls and ruins were full of stumps and broken flesh. The air raid came too quickly, and the soldiers and Qing soldiers who had been ordered to gather in the mansion to strengthen the garrison lost their combat power in an instant, and only the intermittent faint moaning sound indicated that there were lucky people who survived the disaster just now.
"Ceasefire! Get ready to climb and search for Target 2! "After roughly assessing the effect of the air raid, the fire controller is ready to smash the glass of the next house.
In fact, the AC-130U did not spend much time attacking targets during tonight's air raids, and the difficulty of this task was to rely on infrared signals from ground forces to find targets without a global positioning system.
An Yanxin and his subordinates seemed to be doing this kind of work to guide precision strikes in the light curtain of the dome, although tonight's air raid mission lacked the support of satellites, but with their efforts, the big lawn mower still visited the mansions of those Manchu officials on the blacklist in half an hour. Well, it's just that when it left, it demolished some walls and lifted some tiles, and it seems to have killed and injured some people.
However, none of this matters, tonight's highlight has not yet begun, and AC-130 will fly westward to the Summer Palace, which is known as China's Four Famous Gardens along with Chengde Summer Resort, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Lingering Garden, to demolish the stage of the old witch.
“Shit! There are also guards on this section of the wall. A Navy SEAL saw through an infrared telescope that there were Qing soldiers on duty on the retreat route.
It was planned that the MI informant would buy off the Qing generals who were in charge of guarding this section of the city wall, leaving him with a loophole for the SEALs to get out of the city. But when An Yanxin came here with his men, he found that the guards on the city wall did not leave this section of the city wall as promised.
An Yanxin knew that it was extremely unwise to attack those Qing soldiers who could rely on the female wall as cover in the open ground under the city wall, especially since they only carried MP5X submachine guns in order to infiltrate the capital, and it was not cheap to shoot at these Qing soldiers.
"This is Daredevil One, call Big Lawn Mower One, please answer if you receive it."
"This is Big Lawn Mower No. 1, come on, please speak."
"We have a large number of clear troops on our retreat route, we need fire support, repeat, we need fire support."
"Roger, mark your location with infrared distress signals, etc., and we will rush over as soon as possible, over."
Storm the walls with MP5X? We were trained by Eagle Sauce Ma Run, and our first reaction was to think about whether we could call the Air Force Dad to help, okay? Hard steel or something, that's the helpless move of the Air Force dad when he doesn't appreciate his face, who called Eagle Sauce Ma Run has always been a fourth-class person!
Tonight, the father of the Air Force is close at hand, and he has brought thousands of shells, and An Yanxin no longer has to rely on the submachine gun in his hand that can only produce 9mm pistol bullets to fight their way out.
"This is Big Lawn Mower One, call Daredevil One, I've discovered your location. Tell me who you are going to attack. Re-read, please indicate what you are going to attack. Said the fire controller of the AC-130U.
An Yanxin didn't directly let the big lawn mower attack the Qing defenders in the section of the city they were going to climb, which would only lead more Qing soldiers to their retreat route.
An Yanxin found a small tower near the section of the city wall they were going to climb, and he estimated that the Qing generals in charge of guarding this section of the city wall were nesting there.
"Hmph, you accepted our benefits but didn't do anything, hehe, then take this money as your burial fee." As he spoke, An Yanxin used the equipment to mark the location of the small city tower.
"This is Daredevil One, call Big Lawn Mower One, the target has been identified, please attack the target with a 40mm anti-aircraft gun." An Yanxin felt that this kind of small city tower with the role of hiding soldiers had to be regarded as a lightly armored target, so he decisively asked the big lawn mower to dismantle it with a 40mm Fox gun.
