Chapter 4757: Helicopter attack

On Lin Ruirui's side, they had already known the news that the Orumi Federal Army was blasting and widening the road.
"There is only one possibility for blasting and widening the road, and that is that the enemy will use their armored vehicles. Once their armored vehicles come up, we are likely to be at a disadvantage.
According to our information, the armored vehicles they used this time were not the crispy armored vehicles before. It is an armored vehicle from France.
Highly inclined armored body, the cockpit cover on the roof is covered by metal plates on both sides, and the rear-opening side door is located between the first two wheels; the turret is in the middle of the roof, with a 90 mm long tube gun with heat insulation sleeve Tube and single-chamber muzzle brake, a smoke grenade launcher on each side of the rear of the turret.
There are three wheels on each side of the car body, the distance between the front wheel and the middle wheel is large, and the top of the metal armor plate on the rear wheel is level. It should be, Panhard ERC90F4 "Javelin" armored vehicle. "The actuary replied Jiangshi.
Kuaima also nodded. "The Panhard armored reconnaissance vehicle used to show its talents in Algeria. Its ability to quickly change positions and powerful artillery provided valuable fire support for the infantry.
The powerful 90 mm artillery is only slightly inferior to the main battle tank. During Mali's attack on rebels with al Qaeda background, it was praised by many analysts as an excellent all-terrain vehicle.
ERC-90 can lift the middle group of tires when moving on the road to reduce friction and save fuel. ERC-90 can also put down this set of tires before performing off-road tasks, so it has tactical flexibility and economy. This feature is essential for fighting the rebels in a broad theater of operations.
On the other hand, it also played a role traditionally played by heavy vehicles in combating anti-government armed operations. Participated in Operation Desert Storm and the war in Afghanistan and achieved satisfactory results.
It is indeed more difficult to deal with than the weakly armored combat vehicles we encountered before. "
"I understand what you mean. You mean we can't keep it here, then we'd better retreat." Lin Rui smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's what it means. In this case, it may be difficult for us to win. It doesn't make much sense to stick here.
Why don't we let the enemy troops go and let them enter the residential areas in the north of the city. Then we concentrated on besieging them. "Quickly nodded.
"This is indeed a way. Have you ever thought about the behavior of the Orumi Federal Forces, which were surrounded by us to some despair, when they suddenly encounter reinforcements?
They will rekindle their confidence and fight to the death with us. And once these enemies here rush to the residential area in the north of the city, they will be morale boosted if they rendezvous with the previous troops. Lin Rui shook his head, "I don't want to give them such a chance." "
"I understand what you mean, boss, but the current situation. I'm afraid we really don't have much choice." Sergey shook his head. "Once they charge in groups, we will definitely not be able to hold on."
"That would have them rushing." Lin Rui turned around and said. "Have you forgotten that we still have the last trump card."
"The last trump card?" The actuary moved Kishi's eyes. "Gunship? But we don't have..."
Lin Rui nodded and turned to look out the window. Many black spots in the distance are approaching quickly.
That was the Mi-17 transport helicopter they purchased before. It's just that this transport helicopter should be a multi-purpose helicopter to be precise.
After proper modification, it can become a strategic assault aircraft. It can be achieved with only a slight modification.
During the transformation, as long as the weapon racks are installed on both sides of it, three sets of launchers can be secured on the left and right sides, and other weapons can be installed on the rack.
At the same time, a hatch needs to be opened on the right side of the fuselage, so that it is convenient for soldiers to shoot on the ground in the air, and it can also help special personnel to leave quickly. A rear hatch should also be installed at the rear of the fuselage, which is convenient The entry of vehicles or the entry and exit of large equipment.
In this way, the Mi-17 was transformed from a transport aircraft into a combat helicopter with combat and defense functions.
In a previous military exercise, Russia incorporated Mi-17 into a raid formation and directly used low-altitude penetration to attack the ground.
Before the plane landed, the helicopter carried out fire suppression on the ground, and the fierce rockets launched like a sea of ​​flames rushed toward the enemy's front, showing a strong shocking effect, and achieved good military drill results.
The team members also all know that these helicopters were delivered only recently. But most people do not regard it as a combat helicopter.
It is believed that these helicopters are, at best, carrying two machine guns in the door of the transport helicopter. There is only a certain amount of fire cover.
It was never thought that these transport helicopters would be converted into real armed helicopters.
Large-caliber cannons were installed, weapon racks were added, rocket bomb nests were installed, and even helicopters equipped with AGM-114B Hellfire missiles.
These things are simply natural enemies to ground armored weapons.
After the two rocket launch nests are installed in place, they can carry 38 unguided aviation rockets for combat.
In addition, a total of 8 Hellfire missiles were mounted on both sides. This configuration was originally equipped on the Black Hawk helicopter by the US military.
Black Hawk helicopters and Mi-17 are actually multi-purpose helicopters. Lin Rui secretly asked him to equip the weapons originally deployed on the Black Hawk helicopter on the Mi-17 helicopter. Although some changes have been made, the modifications still look like that.
And this configuration is used to destroy the main battle tank. Needless to say, the Hellfire missile is a recognized helicopter anti-tank weapon.
Even the unguided aviation rockets are not so easy to mess with. Once these armed helicopters open fire, they can turn a nearby area into a sea of ​​flames.
And those armored vehicles have no ability to resist this kind of attack. After all, armored vehicles are armored vehicles and may be able to provide a certain degree of protection, but this level of protection cannot be compared with main battle tanks at all.
And even the main battle tank may not be able to survive a large number of rockets from armed helicopters.
So when the Orumi Federal Army was surprised to find the other transport helicopters. When he even dared to attack his square position, some did not even react.
They never thought that these mercenaries would eventually have this move. The combat thinking of both sides is fixed on the basis that neither side has air superiority.
The emergence of these helicopters has really changed everything. Also changed the situation of the entire battlefield.
