Chapter 448: Heads-up! I'm going to take you alone
Without waiting for Dr. Chen to speak, Jackie Chan took the lead and said, "Dr. Chen, I'm Leng Dao, and an armed convoy is rushing to your location.
Among them are eight 59D medium tanks, and the Chinese-funded factories do not have troops, so it will be difficult for you to defend against them.
And the distance is less than 20 kilometers, you have no time to retreat, you now immediately gather everyone in the factory, see if there are any veterans inside, and let him take you to a safe place quickly.
I'm right behind them right now, and I'll find a way to help you stall as much as I can. ”
Hearing Jackie Chan's low and hurried words, Dr. Chen realized the seriousness of the matter and replied in a positive voice: "Okay, I'll go now." ”
"Keep talking, keep each other informed." Jackie Chan said.
"Okay, Mr. Leng, you should be careful."
Dr. Chen was obviously so nervous that he forgot to hang up the phone, and he had already rushed out and shouted outside.
"Lao He, Lao He, there is a situation, Mr. Leng called, and he told me that a large group of Red Turban Army was rushing over in tanks.
You hurry up and gather the workers in the factory, find a safe place and we will hide first. ”
"The old factory, let's go to the old factory, there's a basement over there, we meet there." He Jianguo, the security supervisor of the scouts, replied loudly.
"Damn, tank? It seems that my 18-shot AK is unreliable, Lao He, you step slowly, wait for me. ”
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, Brother Fan, take me, take me!"
……
Jackie Chan hasn't hung up the phone yet, and can clearly hear the various voices coming from Dr. Chen's side through the mobile phone.
Hearing that the Chinese-funded factory had begun to hide, Jackie Chan did not continue to listen.
Hung up the call with Dr. Chen, manipulated the rudder to lower the height of the Shicha Falcon, turned in a direction in the air, and headed straight for the Red Army convoy.
This action has already revealed what Jackie Chan is going to do.
Piloting a helicopter gunship alone and taking the initiative to attack a heavily armed army sounds like lighting a light in a toilet – looking for death.
But Jackie Chan is not hot-headed, he has a reason to do so.
Because the possibilities are endless!
Perhaps because the Dane Company was too light on the enemy, they did not think that with their status as the king of PMCs in Europe, they would have to mobilize the air force to capture a single Dr. Chen.
Or maybe they didn't think from the beginning to the end that the enemy would have a helicopter gunship.
In the last factory battle in the original plot, the army brought by Lao D is the army, and it is also an army with pure ground firepower.
There are not armored vehicles specifically designed to protect tanks, with air defense systems on board.
In the vicinity of this area of the plant, there were also no ground-based anti-aircraft weapons to restrain helicopters.
Jackie Chan drove the Stone Tea Falcon helicopter over, and there were only two weapons that threatened him, one was a man-portable bazooka and missiles.
For example, RPGs, Stingers.
The former's effective attack range is only 300 meters, and it is a bit threatening to play sneak attacks in urban street battles or in mountainous areas with dense vegetation.
In this flat grassland, the bazooka wants to hit the Shicha Falcon, and there is no possibility of hitting at all.
If it's a Stinger missile, that's true.
But Jackie Chan has the eye of God of a traverser, and he knows very well that the Dane Company came to attack the Chinese-funded factory, and he did not bring Stinger missiles at all.
Therefore, there is no threat at all.
The other is the pickup truck or armored vehicle, loaded with single-barreled Type 54 high machine, twin Type 58 high machine, RPK and Deshka and other heavy machine guns, as well as the self-defense weapons on the top of the 59D tank.
The Type 54 anti-aircraft is a proper anti-aircraft weapon, with an effective anti-aircraft range of 1,600 meters and a muzzle velocity of about 850 meters per second.
The Type 58 twin anti-aircraft machine gun has a muzzle velocity of 980-995 meters per second and a maximum effective distance of 2000 meters.
Both weapons have a kill of more than a thousand meters, and they can theoretically pose a threat to helicopters, but they have one of the biggest drawbacks.
That is, the bullet does not have the ability to track, is highly maneuverable, and poses a limited threat to helicopters.
As long as Jackie Chan can stabilize himself and not rush in, and make good use of the weapon and performance advantages of the Stone Tea Falcon as a gunship, he will not be afraid of these anti-aircraft weapons at all.
On the contrary, through the ferocious firepower of the stone tea falcon, the convoy was caught off guard.
The grassland terrain is open and the field of vision is very good, how can we maximize the damage and damage of this convoy before the Red Turban Army convoy is discovered.
This is the focus of Jackie Chan's consideration along the way!
Although Jackie Chan, who is accustomed to violence and directness, wants to use the ferocious "Levisman dive maneuver" to use the 36 high-explosive rockets in the rocket nest to launch a dive "rocket stream bombardment" against the convoy.
Clear a large number of poorly armored pickup trucks, as well as military off-road vehicles and armored personnel carriers.
But taking into account the "sweeping" bombing of the rocket stream, its optimal attack range needs to be close to within 1000 meters, and the altitude needs to be reduced to less than 200 meters.
Jackie Chan finally held back his restless mood and temporarily gave up the idea of both benefits and risks.
The Red Turban Army convoy personally led by Lao D had more than 20 anti-aircraft machine guns on board.
Once you rashly lower the altitude and rush over, with a good field of vision, so many anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns are enough to react and fire in clusters.
At that time, no matter how good your piloting skills are, you will inevitably be beaten into a sieve in the air.
20 anti-aircraft machine guns, several hundred rounds a second.
When you think about it, you have a kind of fear of being dominated by a rain of bullets.
In modern warfare, the reason why helicopter gunships are called "mobile batteries on the tips of trees" is that they stand out for their concealment and mobility.
Hard resistance is not its specialty!
As long as you fly at ultra-low altitude close to the ground, you can shorten the distance between the two sides to the best output distance of the helicopter when the enemy finds a helicopter.
For targets the size of helicopter gunships, the visual distance of humans can exceed 10 kilometers, and this difficulty can be solved by reducing the flight altitude.
Although the grasslands do not have undulating mountains, they are not like the plains, and at a glance, you will mistakenly think that the earth is flat.
The topography of the steppe is somewhere in between.
There are large undulations in waves, but the height does not change much.
Jackie Chan took advantage of the altitude difference in this terrain to get perfectly close to 3.5 kilometers and hovered in the air on the right rear side of the team.
Of all the weapons carried by the "Stone Tea Falcon", the "Snake and Pelican Anti-Tank Missile" has the longest effective attack range.
It can be laser-guided and can accurately hit targets at a distance of 4 km.
Jackie Chan deliberately maneuvered forward, just to leave the required time margin for the missile to fly and further increase the hit rate.
"Try the feel of the first shot, man, give me a little more force, don't embarrass me."
Adjust the fire control aiming to the helmet, lock the red dot through the HUD, Jackie Chan controls the height of the helicopter, and slowly rises and climbs from a low place.
At this time, they were driving fast on the highway and went straight to the mechanized troops of the Chinese-funded factory.
The ordinary Red Turban soldiers below looked relaxed, and they didn't notice that a killing god was slowly emerging from the rear of the convoy.
Even the old D, who was sitting in the command car, didn't know that the crisis was coming.
At this time, through the high-powered telescope, I looked at the Chinese-funded factory that was less than 10 kilometers away in the distance, but had not yet appeared in the field of vision.
Although he couldn't see his target yet, he already had a smile on his face.
A confident smile on her chest.
When the "Stone Tea Falcon" rose to a height of 30 meters, the huge convoy that had disappeared from the HUD was locked by the turret below with Jackie Chan's gaze.
The distance between the two sides was too far, and the helicopter was located behind the side of the convoy and in an ultra-low-altitude area.
Coupled with the gray-white lacquer of the stone tea falcon, the naked eye recognition in this early morning is very low.
The main thing is that there are too many tanks in the Red Turban convoy, the roar of the engines and the rolling of the tracks, the noise created by the boom is too loud.
As a result, the Red Turban military convoy in front of it was unaware, and a helicopter had already appeared behind it.
The ultra-low-altitude hovering of the "Shicha Falcon" made the on-board radar on the command vehicle lose its due early warning capability and failed to issue early warning in time.
All of it.
are skewed towards Jackie Chan!
A herd of lambs to the slaughter is in front of him, and Jackie Chan only needs to lock and fire to catch it.
However, because Jackie Chan was a solo pilot and did not have a co-pilot to assist, he had to spend a lot of effort to adjust the fire control system and transform into a temporary shooter.
Prepare for fire control systems and optoelectronic systems.
The laser guidance method of the "Snake Pelican" anti-tank missile is the "semi-active laser echo guidance" with the highest accuracy among the four types of laser guidance.
This is also one of the two most important guidance methods in laser guidance for anti-tank missiles!
But.
Although the accuracy of this guidance method is very high, and the landing point can even be controlled within 1.5 meters, there is also a troublesome thing -
Assisted guidance is required manually!
Let's put it bluntly.
That is, whoever you want the Snake and Pelican missiles to bomb, you have to "star" at the target all the time and guide the missile in the direction until the missile hits the target.
If you don't see it right, or you look it crookedly.
The missile will miss, too!
And in order to complete this seemingly awesome, pregnant operation, to knock out a tank with missiles, helicopter gunships usually need to use "HMDS".
That is, the "helmet display system"!
The most popular and impressive technology in this area is the classic of the old United States -- the "Apache" helicopter gunship.
Whichever direction the pilot's eyes were facing, the guns under the fuselage also turned.
I don't know how many military fans have been shocked by this "black technology"!
The head-mounted display system is one of the most important hardware tools in modern "virtual reality technology", and it will also be the mainstream of the future battlefield.
At present, the helmet display systems equipped by countries around the world are divided into two categories.
One category is "helmet sights".
For example, the MiG-29 jet fighter and the "Shicha Falcon" gunship piloted by Jackie Chan are equipped with helmet-mounted target designation systems.
The shape of this sight is similar to the sunglasses we usually wear.
Except for the "Wuzhi 10", which is a small number of double mirrors, most of them are single lenses placed in front of the right eye.
It doesn't have a lot of features.
Pilots can only be provided with simple tasks such as weapon aiming, marking, and guidance.
For example, target ranging, aiming calculation, impact point prediction, flight data, etc., the airborne "HUD" is still required to complete the display work.
The second type is the "head-mounted display", where everything is integrated into the helmet "lenses".
For example, the U.S. F-16 fighter and the Apache Wuzhi are equipped with a joint helmet indication system.
Unlike the sights, which are just small lenses, this type is a wide "all-in-one display", shaped like a motorcycle helmet, and the entire half-wrapped windshield in front of the eyes will show various photoelectric images.
Since it is connected to the airborne optoelectronic sighting equipment, its functions are much more diverse.
It can display not only weapon aiming marks, but also various information about the main flight, as well as various cumulative and synthetic images.
In simple terms.
It is to reduce the work of the "HUD head-up display" to the helmet lens, which is more convenient for the pilot to control the real-time data.
Although the functions of these two helmet display systems are strong and weak, their basic structure and components are not very different.
It usually consists of a helmet, a monitor, a head position measuring device, a data conversion computer, etc.
The helmet on the head, which does not have much effect on its own, is equivalent to a stand for the cargo, which holds all the parts on the pilot's head.
Unlike the helmets of the ground combat forces, the main function is the protection of the head, and the second is the role of the bracket.
The reason why the helmet display can control the turret and rotate the position together according to the steering of the head, so as to achieve the magical operation of seeing who dies.
The reason for this is the "head position measuring device" that is mounted on the neck.
It is the main component of the direction control and records the pilot's head movements in real time.
Once the pilot has spotted the target, the head has an angle of rotation and the computer will convert it into a corresponding aiming command.
According to the relevant procedures of the flight setting, the corresponding equipment on the helicopter is controlled synchronously.
For example, the seeker that controls a laser missile.
Wherever the pilot looks, the missile hits.
Another example is to control the fire of the cannon, you want to burst through whomever you want, you can look at whom, press the fire button, it will be aimed at the target and pumped wildly.
Besides.
Depending on how the task requires, HMDS can also control the direction of the turret, the area of radar or other electro-optical detection devices, remote tracking of targets, and much more.
It is equivalent to freeing your eyes to see the target, and you still need to use both hands to operate this program.
There is no need to be as before, the pilot is responsible for flying the plane and cannot do anything else, and a "deputy" is also needed to help take charge of firing.
The market sales price of "Stone Tea Falcon" is only 16 million US dollars.
As a "beggar version" of the helicopter gunship, it is not equipped with an "integrated helmet display" that can easily cost 10 tens of thousands or 20 tens of thousands of US dollars.
It comes standard with a "helmet sight", which is a helmet sight that resembles sunglasses.
After nearly ten seconds of operation, Jackie Chan completed all the preparations before the battle fire, made the observation mark through the helmet sight, and locked the command vehicle at the front of the convoy.
