Chapter 54: Small Eagle (2)

Chapter 55 The Small Eagle (2)
Today's exercise is over, and a confrontation exercise with new equipment will be conducted in a few days.
The main equipment of the armored division is of course tanks, but recently, the superiors have equipped the armored division with ten small armed helicopters.
The reason is that in recent years, with the rapid development of the Air Force, the original two-dimensional ground warfare has become a three-dimensional three-dimensional warfare.
In future wars, the main form of combat is the three-dimensional coordinated combat mode between various arms. There is no longer a single form of infantry confrontation.
Because the infantry will be attacked by various enemy fires during the offensive process, the main one being the attack of small helicopters in the air.
Therefore, the superiors now require the armored division to adapt to this new war change. Among the armored divisions in Jianghai City, an actual combat exercise involving armed helicopters and tanks will be conducted.
On this day, the weather is fine and the autumn is high and cool, which is a good weather suitable for outdoor activities.
Chen Daotian, if the weather is good, he will naturally arrange his tank regiment for military exercises.
The superiors gave the armored division a total of ten small armed helicopters. The tank regiments of Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Wangfa each have five helicopters.
The exercise was still in the form of confrontation. Yan Mingcheng's tank regiment and Zhao Wangfa's tank regiment dispatched 20 tanks respectively to attack each other's high ground under the cover of five helicopters.
The victor is the one who takes the opponent's high ground first.
The exercise entered the preparatory stage, and twenty tanks from the two regiments moved into the position first. Then, ten small armed helicopters piloted by professional pilots also landed on the position.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Master Chen's order.
In a while, Yan Mingcheng can call Zhao Wang and ask each other how they are preparing.
"Yan Mingcheng! How about it, are you ready! Last time, you captured my high ground, this time, I will never lose to you again."
Zhao Wangfa thought of the last time that his position was occupied by Yan Mingcheng, and he was fined a hundred push-ups by his commander, making him a loser. Of course he was angry with Yan Mingcheng.
This time the actual combat exercise, he was determined to get his face back.
"Wang Ba, don't worry, I will beat you down this time. In my Yan Mingcheng's eyes, you will never be able to find your face."
War is not only a confrontation between soldiers, but also a psychological war between commanders.
Before the two sides officially started the war, the commanders began to fight. The goal is to overwhelm the opponent in morale.
"Yan Mingcheng, let me listen to your grandson. I, Zhao Wangfa, will take you this time. You should surrender! This time we are not only competing against tanks, but also armed helicopters!
"What's wrong with the gunship, I still beat you."
"Haha, joke, your helicopter pilots are all just trained, and my helicopter pilots are all transferred from other air forces. They have many years of driving experience, this time, you give up!"
Due to the new equipment, there are fewer drivers. The ten helicopters have only five pilots. At least two people had to be divided among Yan Mingcheng's troops! However, because Zhao Wongba had a good relationship with a deputy commander, and this deputy commander was in charge of this matter, all these old pilots became Zhao Wongba's, and Yan Mingcheng had no one. All his drivers are newly trained.
"Don't use so much bullshit, my newly trained pilots can still defeat your old pilots. Let's see you on the battlefield!"
Before the exercise had started, the commanders of both sides had a fight.
Of course, it's hard to tell the victory or defeat. Only with actual combat with real guns can the winner be determined.
"The drill begins!" Master Chen gave orders to Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Wang.
For a time, there were loud gunshots and planes on the battlefield, and a three-dimensional coordinated combat exercise of mountain armored forces began.
First is the contest between tanks. Since it is an exercise, real shells cannot be used naturally, so the tank’s barrel is filled with empty shells. There is no warhead, just bluffing, and can't hit the opponent's tank.
It is a few gunships in the air that can really hit the opponent's tank.
These helicopters are also the latest new weapons and equipment developed by the Armament Department. Because of their relatively small size and the helicopter's head resembling an eagle head, it is called a small eagle.
The bottom of the ten small eagles are all carried, five small rockets, this kind of rockets are specially used in exercises.
Each rocket is only half a meter in length and only five centimeters in diameter. There is also very little charge inside. It can only fly a distance of more than two hundred meters.
There are also very few warheads. Although it can explode, its power is very small. For a tank with an armor thickness of five centimeters, it is impossible to break.
But the maneuvers must make the tank ‘injured’! Otherwise, how can we beat the opponent! Therefore, the conditioning personnel of the exercise designed an oil pipeline outside the front armor of the tank, which was connected to the oil pipeline inside the tank.
Once the exposed fuel pipeline is blown up, the tank's engine will have no fuel supply, and the tank will automatically turn off.
Of course, in order to make the exercise more vivid, a smoke bomb was wrapped on this exposed oil pipeline. Once the oil pipeline is blown off, the smoke screen will emit smoke, and the tank will automatically be on fire.
The exercise officially began, and the small flying eagle helicopters from both sides also flew up.
After a burst of tank artillery bluffs, the little flying eagle began to attack the opponent's tank.
Originally, Zhao Wangfa felt that this time he would definitely deserve the victory of this exercise. Because the pilots of his helicopters are all veteran pilots, who have been driving for several years. Yan Mingcheng's drivers are novices.
In theory, Zhao Wangfa's driver must be able to destroy all Yan Mingcheng's tanks first.
But as soon as the battle started, Yan Mingcheng's helicopter quickly destroyed three of Zhao Wangba's tanks. But Zhao Wangba's helicopter did not destroy one of Yan Mingcheng's tanks.
It turned out that Yan Mingcheng had already simulated shooting training when training the driver. Because these drivers are novices, they learn very hard and train very hard. I quickly grasped the essentials, and the shooting accuracy also improved quickly.
But Zhao Wangfa's driver thought he was a veteran and didn't need to train at all, so when training, he was lazy and didn't train hard.
This result can be imagined. Yan Mingcheng's helicopter quickly destroyed ten of Zhao Wangfa's tanks, and he had already lost more than half.
