Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke Chapter 59 Low Altitude Tanks
The Rattlesnake roared, wz-15 and the clever harrier hawk, with a tail behind the hill., first launch
The explosion came from the back of the hill, and smoke rolled up the bullet body fragments, mud, stone, sand and soil into the air.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down.
Major Luo Liangji on the back seat of wz-15 clearly saw the blurred traces on his head and the cold light shining rotor blades, and heard the roar that seemed to come from the horizon. 1 Hard training allowed him to rely on his instinct to complete a series of complex manipulations in extreme cases, and to control the "Peak Horse" that seemed to be about to escape.
"Old Luo, pull it up quickly!"
The call from his partner Captain Zhu Zhilong came from the headphones. Before his brain could react, Luo Liangji went out with his hands and feet and completed a series of control actions at a fast speed.
wz-15 The eagle fighting against the sky, raised its head and jumped into the blue sky.
Thousands of meters away, 2 "Super Cobra" are searching for the "prey" that has just been hiding behind the hills.
It only takes a few seconds to transform from a hunter to a prey.
From discovering the target, to locking the target, the missile seeker enters the tracking state, and then to launching the missile, Zhu Zhilong only took 6 seconds!
2 "Super Cobra" deserves to be unlucky because they encountered a low-altitude attack on the camp commander!
The fy-199 Feiyan light air-to-air missile is divided into 2. It fires at a speed of more than Mach 2. It is a "super Cobra". Although Feiyan was originally a single-handed air defense missile. It is not specially developed for armed helicopters. It is not a fast speed and cannot carry out high-overload maneuverable ground helicopters.
The pilot was attacked by "prey". The 2ah-1zz pilot was panicked.
The infrared jamming bomb was released at the same time. 2 "Super Cobra" quickly dispersed. One was to the left and the other was to the right. At the same time, the flight altitude was reduced. It was hoped that the ground jamming bombs were spread at higher places could lead to the missile.
If Zhu Zhilong only launched 2 missiles, the "Super Cobra" may also escape.
The jamming bomb attracted Fy-199 flying in front, but failed to detonate the second missile. The "Super Cobra" had no time to hide behind the hills. Fy-19 chased after it.
There are 2 gorgeous fireworks in the sky.
"Old Luo..."
"I'm fine." The explosion made Luo Liangji wake up completely, "Continue to search for the target."
"clear!"
When performing air combat missions, the division of labor between pilots and weapons operators is very clear. Before discovering the target, the pilot is responsible for operating the helicopter, and the weapon operator is responsible for searching the target; after discovering the target, the pilot is responsible for alerting and the weapon operator is responsible for attacking. The better the pilot and weapon operator cooperate, the stronger the combat effectiveness. The requirements of the armed helicopters for flight crew members exceed the requirements of the two-seat fighter of the Air Force and HNA. Usually, the two people not only train together, but also live together. In addition to getting married and having children, they eat, drink, defecate and urinate together.
The narrow air combat battlefield was in chaos.
Although the wz-15 is much more advanced than the ah-1zz, it has not taken much advantage in air combat. No armed helicopter is specially designed for air combat, and no armed helicopter emphasizes air combat performance. Whether it is the wz-15, ah-1z, or even all armed helicopters in service only obtain limited air combat capabilities by adding equipment and carrying air-to-air ammunition.
After the wz-15 cooperated with Luo Liangji completed the attack, he had to return early because a motor failed.
The wz-15 that is currently fighting is a two-plane formation, and only Luo Liangji and Zhu Zhilong are active alone. Due to the limitations of performance, combat environment, etc., the single-plane armed helicopters that are active alone are easily ambushed by the enemy. In previous training, Luo Liangji and Zhu Zhilong knew about this situation.
The problem is that no one cooperates with them now.
Luo Liangji lowered his flight altitude again and paid careful attention to the surrounding situation. Zhu Zhilong's right eye kept scanning the horizon in the distance, and his left eye stared at the radar scanning information displayed on the helmet screen.
However, the cockpit of the helicopter is restricted by rotors and cannot be set to a blister type, so the pilot's field of vision is greatly limited.
The ah-1z aircraft group was not defeated, and someone must have targeted this "single" wz--15.
Luo Liangji and Zhu Zhilong were both nervous. If they were attacked, dozens of machine gun shells could turn the wz-15 into a pile of high-cost scrap iron.
A ah-1zz suddenly emerged from behind a hill more than 1 meter away on the left.
Luo Liangji didn't even think about it, and pressed down the joystick while pressing the accelerator.
Helicopters are the best-quality aircraft for low-altitude flight, and their excellent low-altitude performance is the basis for survival. During air combat, helicopters rarely fly to a hollow above 500 meters, and most of the time they move at ultra-low altitudes below 5 meters.
Luo Liangji's reaction was very fast, and the US pilot who had prepared for a long time moved faster.
Before the wz-15 could hide behind the hill, the 20mm Gatlin air cannon under the ground pipe of the ah-1zz head spit out a flame and poured shells into the "prey" at a speed of 1,500 rounds per minute.
The attack came very quickly, but not very deadly.
The US pilot made an extremely serious mistake: using high-explosive bombs that attack air, rather than armor-piercing bombs.
The shells landed on the left side of the fuselage made a "bang" sound, exploding bright balls of fire, which looked spectacular, but in fact the threat to the wz-15 was minimal.
Protecting pilots' bathtub-shaped armored box, armored shields that protect the motor bay and battery bay, and protective armor plates that protect the bomb bay can resist direct attacks from millimeter armor-piercing bombs, and bulletproof glass up to millimeters can
The 7mm armor-piercing projectile and the 20mm high-explosive projectile will directly attack. If the ah-11 armor-piercing projectile is likely to penetrate the bulletproof glass, posing a fatal threat to the two pilots.
Hundreds of shells only damaged the short wings on the wz-15 side.
Fortunately, the air combat took place after the WZ-15 completed the ground attack, and the wingtip ground air defense missile was also used up, otherwise this round of attack would likely cause greater damage.
"Old Luo, turn around!"
"It's turning to kill the 'super cobra' in the bastard!"
The US pilot on ah-1zz was stunned because he was hit by dozens of shells. It seemed to have an indestructible body of King Kong. Not only did it not crash, but it also turned the nose of the aircraft in the rain of bullets.
The 20mm shell rain had just ended, and the 30mm air cannon from the wz-15 department opened fire.
Because the 30mm air cannon can only rotate horizontally by 90 degrees (about every degree), the nose must be roughly facing the target before the air cannon can be aimed at the target.
ah-1z dare not stay. wz-15 can withstand 20mm shells, but ah-1zz can't withstand 30mm armor-piercing shells.
No matter how strong the armed helicopter is, it is not as good as the tanks on the ground. The 30mm-poor poverty that can break the tank's "Tianling Cover"~> Alloy shelled armor-piercing bombs can definitely easily smash any kind of armed helicopter into a sieve.
"Dog-ho, can you run away?"
The shells chased the full speed of the ah-1zz and finally bit the "Super Cobra".
Zhu Zhilong must be a ruthless person. When ah-1zz was smoking and falling, he also sent dozens of shells.
When the 30mm cannon stopped roaring, the numbers on the ammunition indicator indicated that 227 armor-piercing bombs were fired!
Although it is a bit extravagant, hundreds of millimeter shells are too cheap compared to the ah-1zz that cost more than ten thousand dollars.
"Old Zhu, we have to return."
“Return?”
"Damn it, the tactical communication equipment was broken and the radar was broken." Luo Liangji quickly checked, "The inertial navigation equipment is still usable, and the remaining range is less than 150 kilometers, so you must return."
"Fuck it."
"Okay, we've made a lot of money."
Zhu Zhilong laughed. "Okay, you have the final say, and you will return."
The battalion commander left the battlefield one after another, and other wz-15s left the battlefield one after another.
16 wz-15s fought against 18ah-1zz, and the two sides were equally matched, but the ending was very different. No wz-15 was shot down by ahh-1zz in the battle (after returning to the base, 5wz-15, including Luo Liangji's landline, was scrapped), ah-1z lost 1, and those who escaped by chance were also scrapped after returning to the base.
The result of the fall on the ground is exactly a direct portrayal of the combat capability of two armed helicopters.
The wz-15 belongs to the third-generation armed helicopter, and the original form of the ah-11z is the first-generation armed helicopter. Even compared with other "cobras", the performance of the ah-1z has improved a lot, reaching the standards of the second-generation armed helicopter, and its combat capability is still much worse than that of the third-generation armed helicopter. Just as the third-generation fighter is difficult to gain advantage in front of the fourth-generation fighter such as the F-22 and J-14, the ah-1z cannot gain an advantage in front of the wz-15.
This air battle, which lasts less than 15 minutes, will rewrite the history of helicopter development, because all countries have found that helicopters will inevitably take on the task of seizing air supremacy when fighting against evenly rival enemies.
From then on, air combat performance has become one of the main performances of helicopters.
It was this air battle that wz-15~ gave the nickname "low-altitude tank".
Of course, the participation of the armed helicopter troops of the 1611th Air Brigade in the war is not beneficial to everyone.
Before the outbreak of the air battle, 16 wz-15s used thunderous force to knock out two-thirds of the main battle tanks and nearly half of the armored vehicles of the US armored cluster, and disrupted the queue of the US armored cluster.
When the "sharp knife platoon" led by Li Wen entered the battlefield, the US military had lost its fighting spirit and began to retreat south.
After the three lame cars were knocked out and the turret was still rotating, the "Sharp Knife Platoon" became a "battlefield cleaner", the tank gun became a decoration, and the remote-controlled weapon station and the parallel machine gun acted as the main combat weapon.
Li Wen didn't complain anymore because he had killed 8 "Abrams" in this battle.
Although the battle has not ended yet, Li Wen believes that no car crew can achieve more than 8 results.
After controlling the battlefield, Li Wen took the chocolate handed by Fang Weimin and started chewing it. The tense battle consumed a lot of the tank's physical strength and energy. When he stopped to take a breath, Li Wen found that his whole body was soaked in sweat. Fang Weimin and Shi Jinyong were similar, and the blood on Fang Weimin's forehead had frozen.
|,3 rows…”
Hearing the call, Li Wen quickly swallowed the chocolate in his mouth. "Old man, I am..."
"Li Wen, why did you stop? Hurry up and penetrate south and advance towards Jiefang Railway Station north of Huangcaoli. Be sure to capture the railway station within two hours and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
"I understand, go out now."
Before Li Wen could order, Shi Jinyong activated the tank and Fang Weimin checked the ammunition status.
"Please pay attention to the full platoon, target Jiefang Railway Station, attack at full speed, don't get entangled with the enemy."
The tanks of the "Sharp Knife Row" were on the road again and rushed to the rear of the US defense line. (To be continued,)
