Chapter 931: Odin

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
A German "armed helicopter" is patrolling the plains. Compared with the ground patrol car and the infantry patrol, this newly-born weapon seems to have a unique advantage in ruling a large area. ︽ It can patrol the entire area with super high speed, and use the weapons it carries to quickly suppress the guerrillas that attack the rails or highways.
Compared with modern armed helicopters, although this Odin helicopter is already the second generation of German helicopters, it still seems too simple. This type of aircraft has armor plate protection only in some important parts, and can only protect ordinary rifles and small caliber machine gun bullets. As for its windshield and the like, it is still vulnerable.
Of course, the comparator is a crusader helicopter like a convertible. This Odin helicopter has been greatly improved. At least in terms of defense level, the two pilots inside are no longer close to streaking. The biggest improvement still lies in its weapon system, which has been greatly improved.
First of all, this aircraft is equipped with two sets of eight rockets, although the accuracy is not good, but it can still cover a large area at a stretch. At least for mountain troops lacking artillery support and reconnaissance and patrol forces. Said that this kind of firepower support has been very "powerful".
And this helicopter has two 20 mm caliber cannons. This weapon was not very successful in the experiment, because on the basis of aviation cannons, this weapon reduced the initial speed of some artillery (in order to reduce recoil) . Therefore, the results of these two cannons in anti-tank operations are not ideal, but they are used to support infantry leveling firepower, but it is a great artifact.
In addition, it is the 7.92 mm g42 machine gun mounted on the side of the helicopter. This weapon is very useful when hovering to cover troops, and can effectively use altitude to suppress various enemy fire points.
In general, the combat effectiveness of this so-called "armed helicopter" is not much stronger than that of the Struka 2 attack aircraft, and in some places it is even far worse. For example, when such a helicopter faces an enemy attack aircraft or a fighter, its self-protection means are very limited, and it is easy to be shot down by the enemy's various firepower.
However, with certain advantages, this aircraft has obtained a large number of orders from the German side. Users include the SS, Army, Navy, and Air Force, and almost everyone has a share of the order for this aircraft.
This type of aircraft does not require huge airport facilities and has no high terrain requirements for takeoff. It can provide troops with the ability to drag equipment vertically, and can hover at a designated position instead of just passing by ... In short, there are many features that everyone ca n’t put down, so everyone is happy to equip some of these aircraft.
Among the many military units, the German Army Defence Force is the most equipped with this type of aircraft. These army generals are keen to build a three-dimensional rapid reaction force and use helicopters to strengthen the firepower of the force to realize the operational concept of the super enhanced version of the blitzkrieg of the army at some time in the future.
To understand people, these are just pretexts. In fact, to put it bluntly, the Army intends to take a slice of the air force's support function and use this emerging method to increase its bargaining power. The subtext is simple: "The army must also have a flying army."
Sometimes this idea is very naive, but I have to admit that at least in the current situation, the German Odin helicopter is developed in this way, and there is room for development in the market, and German engineers have more lax Environment to develop better helicopters.
The truth is actually very cruel. Even today, 70 years later, armed helicopters do not have much advantage over real tank killer attack aircraft. Comparing the more mature a10 attack aircraft and the su25 attack aircraft with the ah-64 Apache, each has its own advantages, not to say that armed helicopters have an overwhelming operational advantage in anti-tank.
As for why you have to endure using your teeth, the reason is the competition between the arms. This may be very relentless for soldiers fighting in the front line, but for the entire armament, it is possible to take the first step of three-dimensional combat in this blind persistence.
If this kind of competition is suppressed to a limited extent, it is a virtuous cycle of tactical baking powder, which can allow the troops to explore new tactical fields endlessly; of course, if this competition is not ashamed and confusing, vicious circle Going down is the amusing root of the Japanese Army and Navy, and a shameful cycle of dismantling each other.
"This is Clairvoyant No. 3, here is Clairvoyant No. 3, and I am patrolling this area of ​​number k! Everything is normal." The captain in charge of flying the aircraft used radio to contact the nearby Army Aviation Command. For the service, This new class of arms simplifies the Army ’s many steps to contact the Air Force for support, which is an improvement on the other hand.
"Fly back in a circle according to the pre-set route if there is no situation ... There are two ground patrols in the k area. Do you want to say hello?" Next to the radio equipment of the ground command center, the German on duty The official is using his own spoon to mix the coffee mixed with sugar. The treatment of Army aviation refers to the Air Force, which is even better than armored forces, so even near the front line, most people can occasionally drink luxury coffee.
"Okay, you can tell me their channel ..." The captain smiled and adjusted the flying height of the aircraft, and locked his altitude at a relatively high position. At this position, the threat of ground weapons to the helicopter was compared. Small, they can fly the whole way in a relatively safer way.
"Hey! Look over there! There is something on the ground!" On the co-pilot, the weapon operator called his partner loudly on the larynx, hoping to attract the captain's attention. Obviously he saw something, and he needed the captain to readjust the flight path to confirm it.
"Where?" The captain adjusted the two joysticks above his head to slow down the helicopter. Then he adjusted the joystick in his hand and pointed the nose at the position where the co-pilot said that there was a situation.
Soon, he saw what was happening on the ground. Some German soldiers were firing. Opposite them were gunmen wearing civilian clothes. The two gangs were shooting each other against their respective bunkers, and tracer traces drew very brief but straight lines on the ground.
"Command! Please answer when you hear! Command! Please answer when you hear!" The captain contacted his ground command while operating the aircraft and began to descend slowly. Hearing the officer on duty in the headset made an answer, he continued to say: "I saw troops on the ground are fighting, please check if there is any situation nearby! Please verify which troops are fighting nearby."
The sound from the headphones almost made the duty officer swallow his soup spoon into his stomach. He hurriedly stood up next to his radio, shouted to me to verify, and then pulled off the headphones and ran towards The patrol unit in the room not far away commanded the radio.
Then he ran back in a panic, grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly: "There is a team in the k area that was attacked, the group of stupid people forgot to inform us here ... Fire when you distinguish the enemy! Fire!"
"Clairvoyance No. 3 understands!" After the captain replied, he issued an attack order to his co-pilot: "I dropped the altitude, you look for a chance to fire! All those who do not wear German uniforms are killed! Pay attention to the surrounding environment ! Be careful in ambush. "
"Okay! Let the people behind be safe! I'm going to use a rocket!" The co-pilot's weapon operator shouted loudly, there was a partition behind him, and behind the door were two machine gunners with seat belts, They are also in charge of searching and reconnaissance in peacetime, and they use machine guns to fire and attack during combat.
Without any hesitation, the German helicopter aimed its nose at the target on the ground, slightly adjusted the orientation of the nose, and the weapon operator on the first officer pressed the rocket launch button. So the whole body of the winning classifier began to tremble, and with this tremor, one rocket after another rushed to the target area about hundreds of meters away.
The quasi-head of this rocket is not particularly good, so in order to increase the hit probability of this rocket and control the spread range, German helicopters generally compress the launch distance within one kilometer, and in most cases are hundreds of meters Fire within the range to pursue the precision they want.
With the dazzling light shining in the air, a German soldier retracted behind the stone and supported his helmet to watch the flames from the helicopter fly in the direction of the enemy. His eyes flicked with the rockets. Cross the sky, and then head out to look across. It was instantly shrouded in a sea of ​​flames formed by an explosion, and the fierce machine gun position just now was silent.
"I'm going to side the fuselage, they need to continue to suppress the firepower." The captain looked at the exploded open area. This single target exposed in the wilderness is really a rare target. Helicopters deal with this kind of target. There is no difficulty. He adjusted the plane's nose and the angle of the machine gun on the side was shot, so the machine gun began to shoot out the tongue of fire, and the tracer fell like raindrops on the ground.
On the ground, the German soldiers who watched the helicopter's glorious presence immediately came to fight. They were just so depressed by these Soviet guerrillas, and now they finally have the opportunity to avenge themselves.
I do n’t know who yelled out, and everyone took up their weapons: "rush!" C
