Chapter 930

A German "gunship" patrols the plains. Compared with patrol cars and infantry patrols on the ground, this new weapon seems to have a unique advantage in dominating a large area, It can patrol the whole area with super high speed, and quickly suppress guerrillas attacking railway tracks or roads with its weapons.

Compared with the modern armed helicopter, although this Odin helicopter is the second generation of German helicopter, it is still too simple. This kind of aircraft only has armor plate protection in some important parts, and can only protect ordinary rifles and small caliber machine gun bullets. As for its windshield and other places, 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 in it are no longer close to streaking. The biggest improvement lies in its weapon system, which has been greatly improved.

First of all, the aircraft was equipped with two sets of eight awesome rockets, although the accuracy is not very good, but one blow can still cover a large area, at least for the lack of artillery support for the mountain troops and the patrol patrol units, this kind of fire support has been very "force".

Moreover, this kind of helicopter has two 20 mm caliber machine guns. This weapon is not very successful in the experiment, because on the basis of aviation machine guns, this weapon reduces the initial velocity of some guns (in order to reduce the recoil force). Therefore, the results of these two machine guns in anti tank operations are not ideal, but they are a great artifact to support infantry to clear fire points.

In addition, it is the 7 on the side of the helicopter. 92mm G42 machine gun. This kind of weapon is very useful when hovering to cover troops, and can effectively use the height to suppress various enemy fire points.

In general, the combat effectiveness of the so-called "armed helicopter" is not much stronger than that of the stuka-2 attack aircraft, and in some places, it is far inferior. For example, when this kind of helicopter faces the enemy's attack plane or fighter, its self-protection means are very limited, and it is easy to be shot down by various enemy firepower.

However, with some advantages, this kind of aircraft has obtained a large number of orders from the German side. Users include the SS, army, navy and air force, and almost all of them have a share in the order of this kind of aircraft.

This kind of aircraft does not need huge airport facilities, and there is no high terrain requirement for takeoff. It can provide the army with the ability to drag equipment vertically, hover at the designated position instead of just passing by... In short, there are many features that we can't put down, so we are also happy to equip some of these aircraft.

Among many military units, the German army defense force is equipped with the most such aircraft. These army generals are keen to establish a three-dimensional rapid reaction force, and use helicopters to strengthen the firepower of the force, so as to realize the operation concept of super enhanced Blitzkrieg of the army at some time in the future.

For those who understand, these are just excuses. In fact, to put it bluntly, the army intends to take a share in the support function of the air force and use this new means to increase its power chips. The subtext is very simple, that is, "the army must also have an army that can fly.".

Sometimes this idea is very naive, but I have to admit that, at least in the current situation, Germany's Odin helicopter has developed in this way. With the market and development space, German engineers also have a more relaxed environment to develop better helicopters.

In fact, the truth is very cruel. Even today, 70 years later, armed helicopters do not have much advantage over real tank killers. Compared with the more mature A10 attack aircraft, Su25 attack aircraft and AH-64 Apache, they also have their own advantages. It is not to say that armed helicopters have an overwhelming advantage in anti tank operations.

As for the reason why we have to bear to bite our teeth, the reason is the competition between arms. This may be very merciless for soldiers in front-line operations, but for the entire arms, they can take the first step in three-dimensional operations in this blind insistence.

If this kind of competition is suppressed to a limited extent, it is a virtuous circle of tactical fermentation powder, which can make the army explore new tactical fields endlessly; Of course, if this kind of competition is shameless and shameless, the vicious circle will continue to be the root cause of Japanese army and Navy's teasing and forcing, and the humiliating circle of mutual dismantling.

"This is Qianliyan No.3, this is Qianliyan No.3, I'm inspecting the area with number k! It's all right The captain in charge of flying the plane uses radio to contact the army aviation command nearby. For the services, this new service simplifies many steps for the army to contact the air force for support. On the other hand, it is also a kind of progress.

"If there's no situation, just follow the preset route and fly back... There are two patrol teams on the ground in area K. would you like to say hello to them?" Next to the radio equipment in the ground command center, the German officer on duty was mixing coffee mixed with sugar with his spoon. The treatment of the army air force is based on the air force, even better than that of the armored forces, so even near the front line, most people can occasionally drink luxurious coffee.

"OK, you can tell me their channel..." the captain adjusted the flight altitude of the plane with a smile and locked his altitude in a higher position. In this position, the threat of ground weapons to the helicopter is relatively small, and they can fly the whole flight in a relatively safer way“ well! Look over there! There's something on the ground! " On the co pilot, the weapon operator calls his partner loudly by pressing the throat phone, hoping to attract the attention of the captain. Obviously, he saw something. He needed the captain to readjust his flight path to confirm it“ Where? " The captain adjusted the two control levers above his head to slow down the speed of the helicopter. Then he adjusted the control levers in his hands and pointed the aircraft at the place where the co pilot said there was a situation. Soon, he saw what was happening on the ground. Some German soldiers were firing. Opposite them were some Gunners in civilian clothes. The two groups were firing at each other against their respective bunkers, and the tracer bullets drew dazzling but very short straight lines on the ground“ headquarters! If you hear me, please answer! headquarters! If you hear me, please answer The captain contacted his own ground command while operating the aircraft and starting to descend slowly. Hearing the answer from the officer on duty in the earphone, he continued: "I see troops on the ground exchanging fire. Please check if there is any situation nearby! Please check which troops are fighting nearby. " The voice from the earphone almost made the officer on duty swallow his spoon. He quickly stood up from his radio and called for me to check. Then he pulled off the earphone and quickly ran to the command radio station of the patrol unit in the nearby room. Then he ran back in a panic, grabbed the microphone and yelled: "there is a team in area K being attacked. Those stupid people forgot to inform us that... If you know the enemy, you can open fire! Fire“ Clairvoyant three, get it After the captain answered, he gave an attack order to his co pilot: "I'm going down, you'll find a chance to fire! Kill all those who don't wear moral clothes! Pay attention to the surroundings! Watch out for the ambush. "“ well! Let the people behind pay attention to safety! I'm going to use a rocket! " The weapon operator on the co pilot yelled, there is a partition behind him, and behind the door are two machine gunners with safety belts. They are also responsible for searching and investigating in peacetime, and operate machine guns to fire and attack in combat. Without the slightest hesitation, the German helicopter aimed its nose at the target on the ground, slightly adjusted its nose orientation, and the weapon operator on the co pilot pressed the rocket launch button, so the whole winning classifier's fuselage began to tremble, One rocket after another rushed to the target area about several hundred meters away. The precision of this kind of rocket is not particularly good, so in order to increase the hit probability of this kind of rocket and control the dispersion range, German helicopters generally compress the launching distance within one kilometer, and in most cases fire within hundreds of meters, in order to pursue the accuracy they want. With the dazzling light shining in the air, a German soldier retreated behind the stone, supported his helmet and watched the fire from the helicopter fly towards the enemy. His eyes followed the rockets across the sky, and then leaned out his head to look opposite. It was immediately enveloped by a sea of fire formed by explosion, and there was no sound in the fierce machine gun position just now“ I'm going to cross the fuselage. They need constant suppression fire. " The captain looked at the open area of the explosion. This kind of single soldier target exposed in the field is really a rare target. The helicopter has no difficulty in dealing with this kind of target. He adjusted the nose of the plane, and the side of the machine gun got the shooting angle, so the machine gun began to shoot out the tongue of fire, and the tracer bullets fell on the ground like raindrops. On the ground, the German soldiers who looked at the helicopter and swaggered immediately came to fight. They were oppressed by these bloody Soviet guerrillas just now, and now they finally have a chance to revenge. I don't know who yelled out, and everyone took up their own weapons: "rush!" c
