The Shadow Company's helicopters were always a big threat to François, he had no anti-aircraft guns, let alone anti-aircraft missiles, and the only thing he could count on was his 12.7mm M2 machine gun.

Therefore, after the attack, he deliberately concentrated the machine guns in his hands in order to deal with this situation.

Sandman, who piloted the helicopter, was also an experienced veteran pilot, and although he didn't know what he might face, he was extremely well prepared.

The speed and protection of Huey helicopters are not very good, otherwise the Vietnam War would not have so many battle losses, so Sandman has been kept at an altitude of more than two hundred meters, this distance for anti-aircraft guns, that is to deliver food, only need a point shot, can knock the helicopter down, but for machine guns, it is a relatively safe distance, because at this distance, machine gunners want to shoot helicopters, they must pull a little advance, This is not an easy job for shooters who aim with the naked eye without ballistics correction.

"Call Apple One, Apple One, this is Super 62!"

As the helicopter flew over the vast expanse of Africa, skimming over the forests and grasslands and running animals below, Sandman could already see the smoke rising from the horizon in the distance, and he knew the importance of the mission, so he immediately began to contact the defenders on the ground as soon as he entered the communication range.

"Apple One received, Super 62, you came too timely!"

The Apple detachment on the ground has been suppressed in the core area of the position at this moment and cannot move, the opponent's armored truck stopped two hundred meters away from the position, and turned to use machine guns to suppress, at this distance, the Apple team must poke its body out of the bunker if it wants to launch anti-tank rockets, but the Apple detachment suppressed by the machine gun mortar has no time to counterattack, and can only rely on the grenade fired by the M79 grenade launcher with a high-throw attitude to stop the attacking French mercenaries.

And even if the helicopter arrives, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the defenders.

"Super 62, Apple One needs emergency air support, and the starting point of the mission is blue smoke!"

The commander waved his hand as he reported the coordinates with a walkie-talkie, and then a grenadier loaded the M79 grenade launcher with a smoke grenade with a blue marking, then he put the butt of his rifle to the ground, adjusted the scale slightly, and pulled the trigger.

Then a blue smoke grenade smashed on the edge of the battlefield, located on the northwest side of Heights 1, and after the grenade exploded, it began to release smoke, and in less than a minute, the blue smoke floated high and pointed the direction to the helicopter.

"Apple One, I see blue smoke!"

"It's good to see it, the approach direction is 270, three hundred meters of infantry armor mixed formation, 200 meters south of the target is a friendly position, marked as orange smoke!"

"Confirm, the height is two hundred, the approach is 270, the rocket salvo is ready, please pay attention to protection!"

Sandman took a deep breath, then turned on the helicopter's weapon safety, and the co-pilot and gunner on the side pulled down the improvised sights, and then the Huey helicopter crossed the valley jungle, first reducing the altitude in a dive, and then pulling up again less than 500 meters from the starting position of the attack, in order to avoid possible anti-aircraft fire.

The French mercenaries on the ground did not expect the helicopter to reach such a close distance, and the machine gunners, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately began to organize fire interception.

Seven or eight heavy machine guns in various positions roared and fired large caliber bullets into the sky, even overshadowing the fiery No. 1 Heights that were being fought over there for a while.

It's just that although seven or eight heavy machine guns seem to be full of power and momentum, the so-called air defense, ten defenses and nine air, lack of guidance and coordination, and effective means of destruction of air defense is actually very inefficient, and even the French machine guns do not have anti-aircraft sights, and the shooter can only rely on tracer bullets in the bullet chain to correct, and in the sky, the slightest mistake, the difference is thousands of miles, Sandman's Super 62 helicopter is a slightly light dragonfly point of water, it avoided the rain of bullets, and then the helicopter entered the attack position at a very fast speed.

"Rockets, launch!"

The two rocket launchers on either side of the helicopter can each carry 19 space squirrel rockets, which an inexperienced shooter may emptied in a matter of seconds, and of course, skilled veterans will do so in certain situations, but Sandman's co-pilot clearly has his own understanding of the situation.

He methodically fired four rockets at the infantry queue gathered on the ground, these rockets were in groups of twos and twos, separated by more than ten meters, and after falling to the ground, they exploded violently, and several unlucky people who were caught off guard were immediately blown away.

Then, the co-pilot took aim at the three arrogant armored trucks.

When the crosshair in the sight coincided with the target, the shooter pressed the trigger, and then the six rockets were fired almost at an interval of less than 0.5 seconds, which was just enough for the rockets to cover the first truck, and then the second and third trucks did the same, and the smoke and fire from the rocket explosion instantly engulfed the three trucks.

And that's not all, after the first round of attacks, Sandman's Super 62 immediately dived to dodge the rain of bullets chasing behind the buttocks, although in the process, the helicopter still ate more than a dozen bullets, but none of them hit the vital point, just penetrated the skin, and there was no big problem.

And the helicopter that dived down did not leave, but went around in a circle, once again killed from the attack position just now, and then continued to use rockets to make up for ground targets.

Seeing that the truck seemed to have been destroyed, the shooter did not waste the rockets, but leaned all the rockets on the infantry's heads, and after shooting all the rockets, the helicopter simply flicked its tail, turned its head directly, and then fired again with a machine gun with a rate of fire of 2,400 rounds per minute.

A mortar jeep even crashed into a tree to avoid machine-gun fire, and Sark's black mercenaries nearly mutinied.

But fortunately, the air defense group finally gave some strength, and more than a dozen large-caliber machine gun bullets crackled into the bulletproof glass of the cockpit, although they did not penetrate, but they also cracked most of the bulletproof glass, and even the bullets hit the inside of the cabin, which forced Sandman to give up the idea of continuing to strafe and withdraw from the battlefield.

But the French mercenary offensive could not be sustained, and had to be forced to retreat again.
