Chapter 2227: Mi-8 air threat

The Anmore Liberation Organization left more than 300 elite soldiers behind, while others followed Le Ansen and others to continue to evacuate. Lin Rui and others did not wait for the secret agency to follow the soldiers, but took these rebel soldiers to build simple fortifications. On one side, a clever scout team was sent to take charge of peripheral reconnaissance and further expand the defense range. In addition, let Jiang An and Xiao Feng be responsible for contacting Kebain. The technical support their team can rely on is Kebain's remote assistance.
"An unknown signal is received." Jiang Jian said in a low voice. "The signal source is approaching quickly. It should be the secret agency's helicopter communication."
"Only when they are relatively close, do they need to contact so frequently. It should be using the helicopter's guidance and the secret agency has begun to search this area." Crazy Horse whispered, "Typical aerial reconnaissance and ground Search collaboration. How far do you think they are from us?"
"It shouldn't be too far." Lin Rui whispered, "Listen!"
"Helicopter engine sound..." Jiang An said intently, "The large twin-engine engine should be a Mi-8 Hippo or Mi-24 Hind."
"I saw it." Snake Eye whispered in the distance, "Yes, it's Mi-8TV. I can see two, maybe there is a third one."
Crazy Horse whispered, "This is not a good sign. The Mi-8TV is a T-type armed modification. The standard equipment is to install a 7.62mm machine gun in the cabin, and three are installed above the two main landing gears. There is an external weapon attachment point that can mount an S-557mm rocket launcher. In addition, it can also mount an external 9M-17P anti-tank missile. The threat to the ground is not small."
"Snake eyes, report their distance and height." Lin Rui whispered.
"They walked around, in a position that I couldn't observe." Snakeeye put down the telescope in his hand, and he climbed on the tree, camouflaged with leaves all over his body, and his face was covered with black and green camouflage paint. It looks like a bunch of vines growing on a tree.
"Last time when we attacked their transport team, we used crossbow missiles, so they seemed to be on guard." Jiang An whispered, "Boss, what do you say?"
"The air firepower of these helicopters is enough to change the entire battlefield situation. If we want to stick to the pass, we must destroy them." Lin Rui whispered.
"But they are very vigilant. The shelter of the jungle prevents us from locking them. Once we enter an open location, we will be attacked by their ground attack weapons first." Crazy Horse took out the Chinese-made from the box beside him. Flying crossbow individual air defense missiles. Soon he put it down again.
"Their height is very large, close to 4,000 meters. The maximum shooting height of the Fei Nu-6 is 3,800 meters. I am not sure to get them down. And once one misses, we will become their key target. The flying trajectory of the crossbow missile will expose us." Crazy Horse shook his head.
"Wait, they can't always be close to the ceiling." Lin Rui frowned. "Once they find an anomaly, they will still lower their altitude for reconnaissance. At that time, that's our chance." Crazy Horse nodded, and the others were waiting nervously. The good news is that these two Mi-8TVs are not dedicated reconnaissance helicopters after all, and they do not have precise sighting equipment. Moreover, the model is relatively old, so if you want to detect ground conditions, you must eventually lower the height.
So after the two helicopters hovered for a few weeks, they began to gradually lower their altitude. Lin Rui and the others were hiding in the jungle, and could hear the sound of the engine becoming clearer and clearer.
Lin Rui whispered, "Crazy Horse, how is it?"
"It has entered range, but it is still not ideal. The number of flying crossbow missiles is limited, I don't want to miss it." Crazy Horse whispered.
"Then don't do it yet." Lin Rui lowered his voice.
"What do you mean?" Crazy Horse asked in amazement. "Don't you let them go?"
Lin Rui whispered, "Of course not. But now we might be able to use them. Snake eyes, by observing the flying position of the helicopter, can you tell the position of the enemy's ground weapons?"
"Maybe we can't judge accurately, but we can guess the approximate direction and distance." Snake Eye whispered. "They should still be outside our attack range."
"Even if they enter the attack range, we will not do anything for the time being. Wait until they get closer." Lin Rui whispered.
"What do you mean?" Snake Eye whispered.
"It suddenly occurred to me that once we were in contact with the secret agency armed forces, their helicopters could only provide low non-support. The 57mm rockets on their helicopters could not bomb their own people. In this way, they could only lower the altitude and provide firepower with machine guns. Support. This time is the opportunity for Crazy Horse and Scarface. They will use crossbow missiles to kill the helicopter. Then we can withdraw into the pass as planned, as long as they have no air firepower. To successfully take that place The mountain pass will not be so easy." Lin Rui said solemnly.
"Is this too risky boss? This will cause us to get too close to their ground forces. I don't believe those anti-government guerrillas can withstand them." Sausage whispered.
"This is the end of the matter, we don't have much choice but to trust them." Lin Rui whispered.
"They lowered their altitude again, which shows that their reconnaissance effect is not good. It also shows that the secret agency's ground weapons have entered the jungle area, which forces them to lower their altitude again in order to provide reconnaissance for ground forces." The hidden snake eyes whispered. "Their flying altitude has dropped to less than two kilometers."
"Be careful. Don't expose it." Lin Rui whispered.
"It's okay. The location I chose is well covered. Even if they stare at me, they won't be able to spot me as long as I don't move." Snakeeye whispered, "Yelena, how is your situation there?"
"I can't see the helicopter from my position, but I can already see the secret society members in the distance. The measured distance is about 1,300 meters, and they are still approaching." Yelena was in another place. On the ground, adjust the telescope in hand. Her sniper rifle is beside her. Like all snipers, she must first use the telescope to determine the location of the target before aiming.
"You two snipers have listened carefully. Stop firing and wait for my order." Lin Rui said in a low voice, "We can't get rid of the snakes and startled them. Our primary target is the two Mi-8TV helicopters. Only after we get rid of them can we have the opportunity to continue fighting against the secret society. Otherwise, we will not be able to cope with their aerial firepower.
