Taking advantage of the hasty retreat of the US troops, Li Wen bypassed the artillery commander and personally "masterminded the fifth victory." [Full text reading]

"Platoon commander, you hit it really accurately!"

"Of course, Lao Tzu used to be a gunner."

Without waiting for Li Wen to be complacent, new battlefield information appeared on the screen.

After a little hesitation, Li Wen connected to the tactical communication channel.

"Li Wen, I'm Ban Gucheng."

"Old class, I killed five 'Abrams', didn't I disgrace you?"

"I know that your *** every move is under my watch.

Without further ado, the US forces are regrouping in the southeast, with more than two hundred armored targets, more than half of which are tanks. The 3rd row continues to act as a 'sharp knife', and whether you can paint a few more stars depends on your performance. ”

"No problem, I'll be out right away."

"Battlefield information is being sent. Note the southwest direction. There may be more enemies over there. ”

"Understood!" Li Wen glanced at the home screen. Said. "Attention to the whole platoon. Direction southeast. Prepare to engage enemy forces. ”

"Platoon commander. Wait for us. The sound of the 2nd squad leader "screaming" came from the headphones.

"Xia Changhong. Hurry up. I can't even get soup when I'm late! ”

There were only 3 DZ211s that accompanied Li Wen to the next battlefield. 2 That DZ211 ground left drive motor was hit by a 120-mm armor-piercing projectile. Xia Changhong and other 3 tankers have already gotten out of the car. Prepare to attach the tank to a spare mechanical linkage. As long as there is a superconducting motor that can work properly. The DZ211 will be able to leave the battlefield. Just now it seems. Xia Changhong didn't want to, not only did he not want to leave the battlefield. I still want to continue to fight.

Passing next to 1 burning Abrams main battle tank. Levine pointed the camera on the right at the wreckage of the tank. Press the "camera" shutter. The DZ211 main battle tank is mainly prepared for battlefield reconnaissance missions. Because it is rare to let the main battle tank perform reconnaissance missions. Therefore, tankmen often use "cameras" to shoot "monumental" scenes.

This time, only the main battle tanks of the 1 battalion were following the advance of the "sharp knife platoon".

The 3C DZ211 of the 1rd Battalion, which had previously accompanied the operation, advanced south, and after occupying the ridgeline in front, did not advance further, but stayed behind and waited for the infantry fighting vehicles behind. Beyond the ridgeline is the defensive position of the US Marine Corps, and without the support of infantry fighting vehicles and infantry, it is difficult for tanks to take advantage of a strong defensive position.

When the three DB22s crossed the tank cluster and rushed to the front, Li Wen had a "ominous" premonition.

DB is an infantry fighting vehicle in the sense of righteousness, and in fact, when participating in the decisive battle of armored clusters, it often plays the role of an armored reconnaissance vehicle, and rarely uses vehicle-mounted anti-tank missiles against the enemy's main battle tanks.

The reconnaissance vehicle ran to the front, indicating that the other participating forces were about to arrive.

"Platoon commander, do you see that?"

"See,." Li Wen gritted his teeth, "Shi Jinyong, run faster, otherwise we can only watch the excitement." ”

"Understood, speed up."

"Full Platoon Accelerates!"

In less than 1, the DZ211 increased its speed from 32 kilometers per hour to kilometers per hour. This is the maximum speed that the DZ211 can achieve on the softer plains, and the superconducting motor that is overloaded could burn out at any time.

Li Wen guessed correctly, another participating force had already arrived, and it urgently needed ground troops to provide ground reconnaissance information.

Not a unit of the 54th Army, but a helicopter gunship group belonging to the 1611th Air Assault Brigade.

In the southwest of the battlefield, 16 WZ15 helicopter gunships were divided into eight attack formations and killed the US armored group 25 kilometers away at a speed of 280 meters per hour at an altitude of 15 meters above the ground.

WZ15 is the world's first all-electric armed helicopter, and the prototype is only one "Flying Eagle".

Compared with the "Flying Eagle", because it is not for the purpose of testing, the WZ15 pays more attention to practical combat practicality. The 850-gram Class 8 composite battery provides it with a maximum range of 550 km; Two superconducting electric motors with a maximum output of 1250 kW enable them to reach a maximum flight speed of 330 kilometers per hour and a cruising speed of 280 kilometers per hour. The high-strength alloy armor covers the cockpit, electric motor nacelle and battery compartment of the helicopter, providing the most ideal protection for the helicopter; The 5-rotor made of lightweight composite materials is still capable of working for 120 minutes after withstanding 15-mm shells or shell fragments, giving the helicopter enough time to fly out of dangerous airspace; The Level 3 seismic monolithic cockpit still has an 80% chance of surviving when the helicopter falls to the ground at a speed of 15 meters per second.

The best thing about the WZ15 is its powerful attack capabilities.

It is capable of carrying 1 heavy anti-tank missile, or a rocket nest with 19 70 mm rockets each, or 8 light air-to-air missiles, or a mixed load of 6 anti-tank missiles, 2 rocket nests and 2 air-to-air missiles, if the internal bomb bay carries weapons; If you add a short wing, in addition to one air-to-air missile on each wingtip, you can also carry 16 heavy anti-tank missiles, or rocket nests, or 8 air-to-air missiles, or mixed loads on the short-wing weapon pylons. The 30 mm retractable two-way gun mounted in the belly of the fuselage is equipped with up to 850 armor-piercing and high-explosive shells, and can carry a cannon and machine gun pods under the short wings if necessary.

In order to wield the power of the onboard weapon, the WZ15 is equipped with a disc fairing placed in a saucer fairing at the top of the main shaft

Fire control radar, 1 spherical photoelectric detection equipment is installed above the nose, and 1 hemispherical laser scanning indicator is installed. If necessary, it is also possible to carry low-altitude navigation pods and low-altitude attack pods under the short wing to enhance independent combat capabilities.

Because the combat weight exceeds 1 kg, the WZ15 is a veritable heavy helicopter gunship.

There are no enemy fighters over the battlefield, and the main task is to destroy the US army's ground armor cluster, and the 16 WZ15 carry 2 air-to-air missiles at the wingtips, and all the hardpoints are heavy anti-tank missiles with a range of more than 15 meters, a maximum flight speed of Mach 15, and a 150-meter homogeneous armor steel plate. That is, 16 helicopter gunships carried a total of 6 anti-tank missiles. According to the calculation of 80% penetration probability, 2 missiles hitting 1 target, and 95% destruction probability, 158 armored targets can also be destroyed! That translates to a loss of 1 WZ15 and you can take out a tank or armored vehicle!

According to the data published in the United States, AH6|||The exchange ratio with tanks was only 26.

The combat capability of the WZ15 is AH64D|||1 is a well-deserved "low-altitude hegemon".

The helicopter gunship group approached, and the US military unmanned reconnaissance plane in the airspace over Linchan-ri immediately raised the alarm.

The problem is that the US military's "theater anti-missile air defense system" has a minimum firing range of 50 meters, which cannot deal with helicopter gunships at an altitude of 15 meters. The maximum range of the "Revenge" air defense system equipped with Stinger missiles and the "Humvee" jeep air defense system accompanied by the armored cluster is only 5 kilometers, which is simply not able to deal with the 15 kilometers away WZ15

The only thing that can threaten the WZZ15 is the "Amram" vehicle-mounted AIM120 air defense system, but the US military did not purchase a large number of such medium and short-range air defense systems, all of them were equipped with army armored forces, and were not provided to the marines who fought under the cover of shipborne air defense systems and carrier-based fighters.

It has to be said that the US military's confidence in seizing air supremacy on the battlefield is too strong.

When the US military lost air supremacy, it now did not have several decent air defense weapons in its hands.

If the United States had not canceled the "Sergeant York" tracked self-propelled air defense system after the Cold War, it would have been able to provide some air defense cover for the ground forces that had to fight independently.

In the face of low-altitude assault ground helicopter gunships, the US Marine Corps can only pin its hopes on passive defense systems.

The tanks and armored vehicles, which had been lined up in neat formations, quickly dispersed and released smoke screens one after another. The officers and men on the ground of the infantry fighting vehicle quickly left the dangerous "iron coffin" and rushed to the nearest air defense bunker with the exposed infantry. The tank commander and loader drilled out of the turret and grabbed the anti-aircraft machine gun, ready to make a final resistance.

Instead of flying over the US armored group, the WZ15 group fired anti-tank missiles at a distance of 1 km.

Relying on the battlefield information provided by three reconnaissance vehicles and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the chief aircraft in each attack formation only needs to increase the flight altitude by 50 meters at the appropriate time, use the millimeter-wave radar at the top of the main shaft to obtain target information, and then launch anti-tank missiles equipped with millimeter-wave radar guidance heads.

If nothing unexpected happens, the WZ15 will be ready to return after firing the missile.

The problem is, something unexpected happens.

The 18AH1ZZ "Super Cobra", which was beaten to pieces by the M211 air defense system and was returning to Hamhung, received a call from the ground forces and rushed over as fast as possible to intercept the WZ15 group.

It's just that the speed of the helicopter is really not fast.

3C km, 7 minutes of flight.

Within 7 minutes, 16 WZ15s fired all the anti-tank missiles and "relaxed" towards the AH-1Z group.

Helicopter air combat is not as "fancy" as a fighter, but much more tragic.

Because helicopters were born much later than fixed-wing aircraft, due to their own performance limitations, from the day they entered the war stage, helicopters played the role of "battlefield porter" and "low-altitude attack", so there are few examples of helicopter air combat in the history of war.

The more famous example of helicopter warfare was born in the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s of the 20th century.

At that time, Iraq and Iran both had AH-1 and Mi24 helicopter gunships, and they fought several small-scale, but very exciting, and classic helicopter air battles.

Surprisingly, it was not the AH11 that took advantage, but the more bulky Mi24.

Later, all countries in the world, especially the two superpowers, actively explored helicopter air combat tactics. It is a pity that shortly after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, the Red Empire collapsed, the Cold War ended, and the United States dominated the world. Under the circumstance that no country can compete with the United States for air supremacy, the United States has lost interest in helicopter air combat, and even the RAH66, which has excellent performance and puts air combat capability in the main position when it was developed, was forcibly dismounted when it was about to be finalized.

How to fight helicopter air battles, everyone can say.

It won't be long before the answer is revealed.

In the absence of the Republican Air Force and the U.S. Air Force to send fighter jets to the front line, helicopter gunships must dominate the skies. Helicopter gunships of one side to be exact.

From the 4th to the 17th, I went to Chengdu for a meeting, so I can't make up for it in time, and I must make up for it in time when I come back.
