"Okay, it's up to you tomorrow."
"Mission accomplished!"
I watched Hans return to the kitchen to get busy.
Xia Yu actually wanted to say that he was quite accurate at shooting.
How could a cheater with a system backing them up not be accurate?
However, on aircraft, the pilot's role is more important than the gunner's.
If it misses, it can launch a second attack; but if it gets hit by a single shot, it will completely disintegrate in mid-air.
It's not like a Ka-52, where you can eject with a "mayday mayday" (a French pun on "mayday"), so Xia Yu has to strictly control driving safety.
The next morning, everything was as usual.
Anka Jr. continued to send out BTR-80 crews in rotation to launch feint attacks, in order to confuse the rebels and wear them down.
However, right after lunch, the seven infantry fighting vehicle crews lifted the tarpaulin, revealing the Weasel A3 that had been kept secret.
Start the engine and confirm that all vehicle systems are functioning properly.
Their mission was to surround the routing infantry from different directions after the helicopters took off.
Xia Yu's contract only covers armored targets and artillery units.
Little Anka, on the other hand, wanted to wipe out all the nearly 1,000 rebels in the town.
This will make their subsequent operations in the city of Bomatou much easier.
However, it is still difficult to avoid fighting in urban areas.
This was also Xia Yu's first time as the eldest daughter-in-law, and the environment was very challenging for him as well.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
The helicopter rotors stirred up the airflow, and the Mi-24V, fully loaded with munitions, soared into the sky.
"All crew members are on board, all infantry squads are in position, and you all come along too."
When Little Anka gave the order, he didn't forget to call out to the 200 mercenaries, and they all rushed onto the trucks to be transported to the front lines.
Having figured out the details of this group of rebels, the father and son went all in.
Of course, carrying the burden are our weasel captain and the mongoose gunner.
The poor honey badger and the number squad stayed behind at camp; they weren't the main characters in this battle.
For Xia Yu, the short 12 kilometers is just a matter of pressing the accelerator.
He quickly flew to Iku town and then drew the attention of anti-aircraft fire.
"Da~da~da~da~~"
More than one machine gun fired into the air, but not a single bullet hit the belly of the Hind.
They didn't have much training to begin with, and it was mostly ground-based shooting. How could they possibly be accurate when suddenly engaging in air-to-air combat?
The rebel officer was being a bit unreasonable, but at that moment, pressure became motivation, and soon a brilliant strategist stepped forward.
"Quick, take it down with the RPG!"
If you can shoot down a helicopter with an RPG, then what's the point of having a Stinger?
Are they trying to swindle taxpayers' money?
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
Two RPG-7 missiles were fired in succession from the left and right, but due to wind resistance and gravity, they deviated from Xiayu by one or two hundred meters.
No maneuvering is needed, there's no need to dodge, and the rockets that miss their mark explode automatically after 4.5 seconds.
Just as the third and fourth RPG gunners stepped forward, the Mi-24V began its dive.
Hans, in the gunner's compartment, held his breath, pointed the rotating machine gun at the nose downwards, and then pressed the fire button.
"Beep~~"
This Gatling gun has two fewer tubes than the six-tube version, so the sound isn't as sharp and piercing, but it's still very distinctive.
The light and heavy machine guns on the ground fell silent instantly, and the two gunners were swept away by the fire before they could even pull the trigger.
Your courage is commendable, but please don't play RPGs in your next life.
"Air defense fire has been cleared, A1 target locked, shall we engage?"
Hans's voice came through the radio channel.
The letter A is the priority strike sequence, and it's also an "old acquaintance" of Xia Yu—those four BMP-1s.
"Strike!"
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, the three-barreled S-8Kom high-explosive anti-tank missiles on his left side burst out of the rocket pod amidst the billowing smoke.
If there were a high-speed camera, it would certainly be able to capture footage of the six folding tail fins of the rocket being deployed and fixed in place.
One reason why the S-8 has better accuracy than the S-5 is that the tail fin is hinged and fixed, while the S-5 suffers from the disadvantage of having a smaller caliber.
"Boom!"
Fires erupted on the ground as a sluggish BMP-1 was still strolling along when its turret was hit by two consecutive shots.
Thankfully, there was no flying head, just a wild imagination.
The rocket's cone-shaped warhead can easily penetrate 400mm of equivalent armor, making even tanks itch with fear.
Because of the lack of control, it is difficult for a less skilled gunner to hit the target.
"Three out of two, well done! Keep up the pace and keep attacking!"
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the first vehicle destroyed.
The previous training seems to have been very effective.
However, they considered themselves an ace crew and first achieved their victories using flying vehicles.
"yes!"
Hans was also very excited.
His gaze swept across the battlefield, quickly searching for the next target.
Witnessing their own tanks being blown off their heads, the morale of the rebels below plummeted instantly.
How do I fight this? Tell me how I should fight this.
Battalion Commander Salang put down his binoculars and stared blankly at the sky.
That Anka, wasn't he supposed to be a national hero? A hero should be charging at me in a tank!
Moral blackmail doesn't work on the battlefield.
That said, isn't the Mi-24 just an airborne infantry fighting vehicle? Xia Yu already has a lot of "knightly" spirit.
"Call all crews, call all crews, abandon the position and disperse to Bomatu, try to retreat through the woods."
Salang, as a commander, was decisive.
Since we can't win, we should run as fast as we can, and get as many cars as we can.
They still have so many vehicles left, one helicopter can't catch up.
Retreating to the woods meant temporary safety; retreating to Bomatou and joining up with another mechanized infantry battalion would give them a chance to counterattack.
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
Upon receiving the order to retreat, each crew immediately sprang into action.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~~"
"Boom!"
After destroying an MT-LB armored vehicle with the serial number B1, the Mi-24 began circling and taking off again.
"Are they trying to escape?"
Seeing through the other party's intentions, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile.
Little Anka has already set up its perimeter, ready to open its pockets and wait for you to crawl in!
However, since it was a responsibility stipulated in the contract, Xia Yu felt embarrassed to ask someone else to do it for him.
"Mongoose, destroy the rebel anti-tank gun positions!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The armored vehicles of the mechanized infantry regiment had fled, but its artillery battery had not yet moved.
Hans fired two rockets from each gun position, instantly causing a series of explosions.
This is because of the explosion caused by the artillery shells piled up nearby. The rebel soldiers have limited training and no sense of safety whatsoever.
However, this is not a bad thing for Xia Yu and Xiao Anka.
"Targets A2 and A3 have been spotted; they are about to separate."
"Firepower coverage!"
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh..."
Xia Yu made a decisive decision, and Hans pressed the rocket launch button repeatedly, firing 20 rockets in a single breath.
"Rumble~~"
Amidst the smoke and fire, dozens of flashes of light appeared, followed by countless fragments flying out like a shower of flowers.
"Confirmed, targets A2 and A3 have been destroyed!"
With his mind highly focused, Hans confirmed the results of the battle and immediately reported to Xia Yu.
"Continue searching for other targets."
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he glanced at the remaining ammunition indicator.
The two inner rocket pods on both wings are still full, while the outer pod on the left has three rockets left.
This amount is definitely enough to deal with the remaining BMP-1 and five MT-LB tanks; there's no immediate ammunition shortage.
When I was in school, I played CF (Crossfire). I had to reload the magazine after killing someone, but eight out of ten times I would get riddled with bullets halfway through reloading.
When I actually went to the battlefield after growing up, I no longer had this obsessive-compulsive disorder about reloading.
"Target A4 not yet detected. Target B2 has been found to be anchored. B3 is being towed for rescue. Should we attack?"
There is true affection and true love in the world.
Xia Yu never expected to witness such unwavering camaraderie in the Afica region.
"Aim at the window, fire 10 rounds in rapid succession!"
With "Farewell My Comrades" playing in his heart, Xia Yu issued the attack order without hesitation.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh..."
A total of 10 S-8 rockets covered B2 and B3. May there be no stranded in heaven.
