"Bang bang"
When the heavy machine gun ran out of bullets, Daniel lowered his center of gravity, raised his 10-inch short-barreled L119A2, and together with Mariano beside him, continued to fire bullets at the convoy behind them.
After the three of them retired, S. and S. switched to the L119A2 together. The new guns that they couldn't use before were put to use after joining the concentrated fire defense.
This C8iur, which is an improvement on C8A1 (C8CQB), is indeed easy to use. The Lynx is clearly the youngest among them, but it clings to the old C8. It should really try out the new product like these old guys.
"Platypus, have we reached the ambush site?"
After emptying a magazine, with Mariano providing cover fire, Daniel asked Lawrence, who was driving, as he reloaded.
"There are still 300 meters left, you'd better hurry."
Lawrence said, flooring the accelerator.
"Buzz"
The engine, its life hanging in the balance, squeezed out its last bit of power, carrying the three of them straight toward the gap ahead.
"Splash!"
After a brief moment of suspension in the air, they plunged headfirst into the murky river, car and all.
The three water monsters, who had prepared for the impact, emerged from the sinking pickup truck like fish, but before they could surface, a flash of fire appeared from the side.
"Buzz"
Johnny, who had been waiting for a long time, pressed the red firing button marked "highrate," and the CS/LM12 Gatling gun in front of him began to roar.
Countless 7.62x51mm tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds and tracer rounds spaced five rounds apart formed a line of fire representing death, which then swept across the entire riverbank from left to right.
They penetrated every pickup truck in the fan-shaped area without hindrance, even the most heavily armored engines, before turning into stray bullets and disappearing into the rainforest behind.
"Knock knock knock"
On the other side, Leonardo also gripped the trigger of the hkgmg grenade launcher, using 40mm high-velocity grenades to cover every car in his field of vision from right to left.
Everything on the riverbank was clearly visible through the night vision goggles, and the thermal imager integrated into the Snowy Owl UAV observation and targeting system provided an even more intuitive view.
It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early; they caught the show.
"They're finished. Each vehicle was hit by hundreds of bullets, including seven or eight high-explosive grenades."
Looking at all the vehicles that were out of service, and even several armed pickup trucks that had been blown up, the crew members couldn't help but say something.
All land forces at the headquarters of the Phar National Salvation Armed Forces were cleared out.
"They deserve it, but I'm more curious about how Focus Fire Defense managed to trick them out of there."
The foreign security agency's commissioners were more concerned with what the crew couldn't see: these armed groups, comparable to terrorists, were masters at hiding in villages and using the villagers as shields.
This made their Tiger tanks feel constrained in action, unable to unleash their firepower at will.
Today is different; with concentrated firepower on defense, why are they willing to come out?
"It's because of the helicopters, right? Their helicopters only took off when we were almost there."
Another crew member guessed.
"That's one reason why Jihuo Defense deliberately delayed the timing of the helicopter deployment, in order to alleviate the concerns of the Por National Salvation Army about pursuing them. Those guys are really cunning."
The commissioner then realized that the reason was not only that, but also the psychological preparation of Šate in the early stage was very necessary. It was the combination of two approaches that led to the success of this tactic.
"Look, their helicopter is here."
"I can't believe it," the investigation expert said, pointing to the glowing dots on the radar screen.
"They're baby gazelles, where are their does?"
It hasn't taken off yet; Xia Yu is still waiting for news in the cockpit.
"Calling the boss, calling the boss, this is Leopard Cat. Phase one ground operations objective achieved."
Johnny called out over the channel; he had just emptied the 1,000 rounds of ammunition from his magazine.
The first phase of ground operations has been completed, so now it's Andrei's turn to appear.
"Call the marsupial glider, act immediately."
"Yes, boss!"
Andrei pulled up the collective pitch lever and applied throttle, and the little antelope quickly climbed to its top speed of 300 km/h. The headquarters of the Por National Salvation Army also appeared in front of him.
The activated airborne thermal imaging system quickly locked onto the target: the twin 23mm anti-aircraft guns on the four large ships.
"Splash splash"
Dressed and waiting in the village for the outcome of the pursuit, Šatet's heart skipped a beat the moment he heard the sound of a helicopter.
Oh no, he's fallen for their trap.
The concentrated fire defense team had a hidden plan; they lacked martial ethics.
In war, who cares about martial ethics? You can talk about it after you win.
Ignoring his curses, Siyat threw down his rifle and ran frantically toward his room, while Andrei in the air pressed the fire button.
"call out"
The first HOT3 rocket left its mounting bracket, quickly accelerating to a top speed of 240 m/s, and slowly made its way toward the first armed fishing boat less than 3 kilometers away.
"boom"
Amidst the deafening explosion, a Zu-23-2 twin 23mm anti-aircraft gun returned to its original state, propelled by an initial velocity and spraying outwards in all directions.
The few people who remained on the boat were caught in the blast and died without even knowing why.
"Enemy attack! Quick, quick, return fire!"
The people on the other three ships saw it clearly and knew that if they didn't act quickly, they would be the next to die.
Because everyone was on edge during this period, all the weapons on the ship were loaded with ammunition and ready to fire.
"Knock knock knock"
The heavy machine guns fired first, but even with tracer rounds as guidance, their effective range of less than two thousand meters seemed insufficient to reach the enemy.
"call out"
"boom"
Another HOT3 shot sent a flustered anti-aircraft gun crew into the air, but the time they bought allowed their allies to finally open fire.
"Da la da"
The cannon fire was faster and sharper than that of a heavy machine gun. Two bursts of high-explosive incendiary tracer rounds lashed out like a fiery whip toward the little antelope.
"call out"
After firing a third HOT3, Andrei calmly dodged to the side.
Air defense is a gamble; nine out of ten times it fails. Even high-tech methods can't guarantee 100% interception or 100% shooting down, let alone manpower.
If the Por ethnic national salvation armed forces had a Shilka River helicopter of the same caliber, Andrei would have shown some respect due to the limited mobility of helicopters; but without it, he could only mock them.
His only concern now is the possibility of the enemy having portable anti-aircraft missiles.
"call out"
After firing the last HOT3, the village became much quieter, with only a few machine guns still stubbornly firing.
"Knock knock knock knock"
The RH202 autocannon fired rhythmically, naming and sniping these targets one by one.
Shooting from below is difficult, but air-to-ground attacks are much easier. However, with only half of the ammunition box emptied, Andrei, having achieved his mission objective, decided to withdraw and climbed to prepare for evacuation.
But it wasn't that easy. Only after opening the bracket of the Mistral missile's portable version for the army, and because he had been delayed in contacting his cousin for emergency support, was Šate able to connect the missile and the bracket together.
He activated the targeting system, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the helicopter not far away.
Because it was nighttime, only a general outline could be seen, so Šatet did not realize that his target was not the doe he had expected, but a small antelope.
"beep"
Once the startup is complete, the missile's infrared seeker is activated, and the canned coolant begins to cool the indium antimonide quaternary sensing device.
The firing window was only open for the time before the coolant ran out, so he quickly looked away and roughly locked onto the target with the sight.
Yes, fire-and-forget missiles are simple lock-on systems; whether they hit or not depends more on the missile itself.
"Beep beep beep"
The target lock notification sound and confirmation indicator light illuminate simultaneously, but what's the purpose of this small, flashing cursor in my field of vision?
And why is it still beeping after it's locked?
Having only flipped through a few pages of the instruction manual, Šatet had many questions in his mind.
This is probably what they mean by "you only realize how little you know when you need it," but he didn't have time to worry about that now, he just shot.
"call out"
Ignoring the friendly cursor sent by the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system, SIGAT pressed the launch button directly, the booster ignited, and propelled the missile out of the tube.
Then the second-stage engine ignited, and the plume of flame quickly accelerated the missile to its maximum speed of Mach 2.5, with its target being the antelope that had already flown out of its maximum effective range.
This situation will reduce the hit rate to some extent, but with the True Lord by his side, it will definitely... um.
"Puff puff puff"
In Sense's view, the helicopter was frantically releasing flares, as if it were making a death throes.
Because of the strong anti-jamming capabilities of Chinese-made missiles, the microprocessors installed on the missiles can quickly process infrared signals and background radiation.
Furthermore, even if the chaff and flares are effective, the warhead, which is superior to that of its competitors, can still cover the slow-moving helicopter within its effective kill radius after the proximity fuse is triggered!
But how come the missile, without being tricked by the chaff and flares, didn't have its proximity fuse triggered and just missed its target?
"boom"
The northwest wind, having flown another mile or two, initiated its self-destruct mechanism, transforming into the most beautiful fireworks in the night sky.
Šate remained on the ground with his head tilted back, his face filled with bewilderment.
Andrei, in the air, felt a wave of fear. He was prepared to make an emergency landing after being hit, but the missile seemed to have met an acquaintance, came over to say hello, and then left.
In fact, they were indeed acquaintances.
In the past, when we had no guns or cannons, the enemy made them for us.
If you don't have weapons, you can capture enemy weapons for use.
As technology continues to advance, weapons and equipment are developing towards precision and systematization, making it increasingly difficult to capture and use them.
Looking back, we can see this trend as well. Decades ago, during the Atomic Bombing War, Alang Ting used Exocet anti-ship missiles purchased from the British to sink several British ships.
Just as Alangting was about to press her advantage and deliver a crushing blow to the British, the pressured British revealed the radar and electronic signal characteristics of the Exocet missile to their former adversary.
That was it. The Huang family navy then used electronic jamming to target this signal, and the Exocet missiles that Alangting fired afterward became like headless flies, flying around aimlessly.
Now, decades later, with the rapid advancement of technology, the backdoors left in weapons and equipment are only more advanced and more deadly.
Putting aside other issues, take the Mistral's competitors, the Stinger anti-aircraft missiles which are exported in large quantities. They have been exposed for having a backdoor system called geofencing installed, which makes them ineffective in the "magic-free zones" set up by the US military.
This was their own doing; they provided Afghan with a large number of first-generation Stinger missiles and shot down a large number of former Soviet Union military aircraft.
Then it was the soldiers' turn to launch a heavy attack, but they themselves were also badly beaten, all thanks to the unused reserves from before.
Having learned a painful lesson, from now on, all weapons sold will be equipped with additional features, and even fighter jets will have to enter a verification code before each takeoff.
The Germans naturally followed suit and increased their investment in backdoor systems.
If the IFF system confirms that the target is friendly, and you still insist on firing, you can only blame your bad luck if the shot misses.
Well, it's not that my stuff is bad.
As for why Andrei was considered an ally, it's most likely because it was a third-hand Gazelle!
The new military version was naturally equipped with an IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) response system.
When it gets old, I'll sell it to the white top hat seller. The answering system may or may not have been removed.
However, the third weapon was captured by the concentrated fire defense. Regardless of whether it was present or not, the response system was put into service and transformed into a "machine spirit" to protect the reborn little antelope from harm by high-tech weapons.
So why buy domestic products? Why not get a Russian SAM-24? It might have less explosive charge in the warhead, but at least there's no "traitor" inside!
Even if they can't take it down, they can still annoy Xia Yu, since helicopter maintenance costs still need to be accounted for.
If all else fails, you can switch to the British Starlight, that three-bullet head is really cool, but it requires continuous laser irradiation, which is a bit of a barrier to entry.
Or perhaps it was the cheap and effective flying crossbow; the needle-type crossbows brought down quite a few Mi-8 and Mi-24 fighters, not to mention the small antelopes they were shooting down.
Unfortunately, Šate made the worst choice, and he has to bear the consequences himself.
"Calling the boss, calling the boss, this is the glider, the first phase of air combat objectives has been achieved."
Andrei called out as he retreated.
"In addition, the other side used anti-aircraft missiles, and it cannot be ruled out that their branch also had them."
"Weasel received. Marsupial Flying Glider, are you alright?"
Xia Yu asked with concern.
He knew there would be anti-aircraft missiles. That SIGAT guy seemed like a very calculating person, but he was far inferior to him.
Specifically, they prepared, but not adequately.
"It's alright, their missile missed its target, but we can rule out that it was a Starlight or an RBS-70."
Andrei spoke very quickly.
Xia Yu upgraded the company's helicopters with laser threat warning systems. Both types of missiles rely on laser beam-riding lock-on guidance. In addition, night vision goggles are used for night combat. If you dare to shine a light on me, I will lock on in the opposite direction.
"We'll talk about that later. You should come back now!"
Xia Yu ended his contact with Andrei and then got in touch with Hans, instructing them to immediately begin the second phase.
"Mongoose received, launch attack immediately!"
The weasel S30, which had been lying in ambush in the rainforest, immediately started up and charged aggressively toward the village a few kilometers away.
Johnny and his crew in the middle of the river had finished reloading the Gatling gun and grenade launcher. With the addition of Mariano and his two companions, the heavy machine gun at the bow and the general-purpose machine gun at the stern now had operators.
