Chapter 3573: Helicopter attack

"Attention, the number of helicopters was found at two o'clock..." a mercenary suddenly shouted in the communication channel.
"Quantity, orientation!" Lin Rui asked immediately.
"The number of enemy planes is about six to seven. They appear to be helicopters used by the enemy for armed support. Judging from the direction they appear, we should be the target they are going to attack in this mission." Crazy Horse raised the telescope and shouted loudly. Report.
Lin Rui had no need to analyze the reasons for the emergence of these aircraft. He immediately issued a tactical order: "Call all members of the detachment, pay attention to concealment, and the enemy armed helicopters are coming." Although it is not the first time to face such a situation, Crazy Horse's heart still accelerated uncontrollably. "I hate to face helicopters. Especially when there are no anti-aircraft weapons, I have to face so many armed helicopters. It makes me nervous."
"Attention, most of the enemy's helicopter models are not special gunship helicopters, but ordinary helicopter modifications, and the maneuverability will not be too good. As long as we pay attention to cover, the problem will not be too big." Scarface also ordered loudly.
When several armed helicopters of the secret agency militants, with the help of cloud cover, accelerated from the flanks to approach. Suddenly dive down and shoot.
Since most of the helicopters in this battle are ordinary helicopters, modified with a two-pack 12.7mm machine gun, so the firepower is particularly strong. Although it is only a unit of six helicopters, when they concentrate their firepower and fire at the same time, any opponent who despises them will definitely not end well.
It is also bullying that the Canavian Army has no air defense weapons. These helicopters lined up in the air, strafing the Canavia phalanx from top to bottom. The helicopter flew past, leaving a series of 12.7mm machine gun bullet marks on the ground. Many soldiers fell during this round of dive shooting.
Lin Rui could see that these helicopters are mainly light and flexible aircraft with thinner armor. Most of them are modified aircraft. In fact, this kind of ordinary helicopter can be regarded as an armed helicopter as long as it is equipped with two heavy machine guns. Of course, if you are a little more sophisticated, you can also carry two rocket bomb nests. Although it is not as good as a real gunship, it is definitely enough to deal with infantry.
However, this modified helicopter also has obvious disadvantages, that is, it does not have the photoelectric reconnaissance and fire control equipment of a real armed helicopter. Weapon strikes have no parameters provided by the system and can only be carried out based on the driver's feeling. And after all, it is not a gunship that is really used for combat, and there is no armor cover.
"Hidden, wait for them to pass overhead, shoot at the air with a heavy machine gun! Hit the helicopter fuel tank." Scarface shouted loudly.
After the helicopter flew over. They immediately got up and fired at the air with their machine guns. Several old Browning M2s fired into the air at the same time. Although they did not hit the helicopter in several rounds, they also made the helicopter pilots startled in a cold sweat.
This heavy machine gun uses large-caliber .50BMG ammunition, which has the advantages of high firepower, stable trajectory, and extremely long range, 450 to 550 rounds per minute. The Browning M2 has a maximum range of 7.4 kilometers when launching M2 ordinary ammunition, which can be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun.
Crazy Horse holds two grips and launches into the air automatically. He knows that as long as he hits a few rounds in key positions, the plane will be finished. The fuel tank and cockpit at the bottom of the helicopter are weak positions, and they are not without a chance to get on the helicopter. However, the opportunity is not too great.
However, the hovering helicopter gunship poses too much of a threat to one's own position, and nearly 20 people have been killed and injured one after another. A firing point of the Canavian Army was also shot by an aviation machine gun.
The deterrent effect of these helicopters is too obvious, and these Canavian forces have formed a certain degree of panic. Few people dared to directly block the secret agency armed with the risk of being discovered by the armed helicopter.
Lin Rui whispered, "We have to kill a few helicopters, otherwise the situation will be worse."
"I agree. But how? Otherwise, when they get closer to the position next time, I will organize the brethren and open fire with all my strength to see if I can run into luck." Crazy Horse whispered.
"It would be great if there were individual missiles." Lin Rui whispered.
"I still want the Phalanx air defense system. Where can I find it? Sweep with the gun, and be careful not to be killed by the opponent." Crazy Horse smiled bitterly.
The sound of "Da Da Da Da" shooting sounded one after another. A helicopter's rotor was damaged, and it burned quickly out of black smoke, spinning up and down in the air. It wasn't until more bullets made the fuselage riddled with holes, that it tilted towards the ground and exploded. But the situation of the war is still leaning towards the side armed with secret agencies. With air support, it is equivalent to giving the infantry confidence. Lin Rui and the others could only delay the attack of the opponent's infantry by relying on the fire field created by the previous white phosphorus rockets.
But they still have nothing to do with helicopters. There is no other way except to use a machine gun to shoot into the air with a low hit rate. Lin Rui looked at his watch again and said in a low voice, "It's almost there, let me know, let's withdraw."
"Isn't it half an hour before the evacuation time?" Crazy Horse whispered.
"That is when the other party does not have air superiority, we can still support for another half an hour. As for now, we have only one way to evacuate." Lin Rui shook his head, "Notify the troops to let the hammer resistance organization retreat first. ; Then Crazy Horse, you take Kanavia with you. I will take people to stay behind."
"Where to withdraw? Shall we go to Berry Town or somewhere else?" Crazy Horse frowned.
"Go to Baili Town first. We will talk about the arrangements later when we get there." Lin Rui waved.
After receiving the news, the members of the Hammer Resistance began to withdraw from the battlefield. Crazy Horse and Scarface also retreated one after another. Lin Rui and the reinforced Viking Battalion stayed at the end and carried out several rounds of suppressive shooting at the enemy. . The entire village was set ablaze with white phosphorous incendiary rockets, and then they retreated behind the others. The secret society militants were blocked by the fire and lost the opportunity to pursue them in time.
And the helicopters armed by the secret agency did not pursue further. They should have achieved their tactical intent, so they did not want to suffer more losses, so they stopped pursuing. Lin Rui and the others were walking on the evacuation road, and they could see the enemy in the distance coming towards the burning village.
"Damn, the battle was really depressing. If it weren't for these helicopters, we might be able to stay in the village longer." Sergey cursed.
"What about longer support? In the end, I will lose. The defeat is set at the beginning of this battle. The reason why I take you here to stay here is that I can rely on the reinforcements of the Canavian Army to survive this time. Crisis. But the Canavian Army has missed this opportunity. In this case, it will be useless for us to stay here." Lin Rui whispered.
