Volume 3 The Chaotic Present Chapter 102 An Attack from the Elk!
Flying out from the other side of the hotel was a heavily armed helicopter.
On the huge fuselage are huge propellers that spin at high speed. The propeller rotation brought a huge sound and a constant strong wind, which not only made people dizzy, but also made it difficult to breathe.
The wings on both sides are equipped with large-caliber cannons and various missiles, and the sharp armament makes people feel chills just by looking at it. Especially at this moment, the most conspicuous large-caliber cannon under the nose of the helicopter is turning, judging by the pointing of its muzzle...... Saying that it was intended to be rescued, it is estimated that the person who believes it is either an idiot or a retard!
"Elk! It's an Elk III heavy gunship! β
"How did this thing end up here? The Elk III is not on our gear list! β
When the twins saw the helicopter, their voices suddenly rose several degrees.
The Elk III heavy helicopter gunship is distinguished by powerful firepower and thick armor. Even if you are piloting the most mainstream assault machine, it will be a headache if you suddenly encounter it. Not to mention that at the moment, the three of them were floating in the air, and they didn't have any weapons at hand that could pose a threat to the helicopter.
"Don't worry where it came from! It looks like it's going to fire! β
"What to do!"
The barrel of the helicopter's nose turned very quickly, and it didn't take long to point it at the three people.
Seeing this, Fang Qiuling gritted his teeth: "Hold on to me!" β
The twins didn't hesitate at all this time, and immediately grabbed Old Fang Qiuling's hand. In the next moment, Fang Qiuling's body suddenly became heavier, and the originally gentle decline speed suddenly accelerated several times.
"Ah!!h
The sudden fall made the twins scream again.
- This is the experience of jumping off a building!
But that's not the most exciting, the most exciting is yet to come! I saw a scorching line of fire swept through like a whip, and if it hadn't been for the sudden fall that made the three of them leave the gunship's gunship, this line of fire would have been on them!
In the modern world, the airborne artillery used for heavy helicopter gunships is generally 20 mm to 30 mm caliber, and armored units are used as imaginary enemies. A cannon of this caliber hits the human body, and it is still the best situation to pierce it, and it is not surprising that it directly beats the person into two sections! Terdaheim's technology is much more advanced than in reality, and the on-board artillery of heavy gunships is bound to be sharper!
The line of fire that swept overhead made the twins' faces extremely ugly. On the one hand, he was secretly glad that he had escaped, and on the other hand, he was also frightened - this was not to go to the door of the ghost gate to shake around, but most of his body fell into the ghost gate, and he almost made up for the last one.
Fang Qiuling also saw the line of fire that swept by, and his face also became quite unsightly. He was cautious when he was in Elune, and although he encountered several strong enemies, he was still in control. At this moment, his body is hanging in the air, and he can't borrow strength up and down, and most of his strength can't be exerted. It's really life and death!
After missing the shot, the gun under the nose of the heavy gunship turned again, and the muzzle of the gun sank rapidly, and soon the three falling figures were again included in the scope. After less than a second of pause, the cannon spat out sparks, deadly flames.
At the same time as the on-board artillery fired, the missile bays on the hardpoints on both sides of the helicopter also opened the hatches, and the two white missiles were activated, and then they were fired out of the cabin.
Seeing such a scene, the twins' eyes invariably showed despair.
"Nope! No! β
Their shrill screams resounded through the sky again, but their voices were tiny compared to the loud noise of the helicopter's propellers flapping, almost completely muffled by the noise of the propellers.
The flames from the cannon immediately completely covered the falling figures of the three men. Two missiles trailing long tails of smoke followed.
A huge explosion resounded through the sky, and orange-red fireballs bloomed in the sky. Due to its proximity to the Tower of Babel Hotel, the glass on the floor near the side of the explosion shattered, and the shattered glass and walls fell. It was like a heavy rain of cement, rock, and glass in the sky.
β¦β¦
- I didn't expect the back hand of the arrangement to really be used!
The man behind the deployment of the explosive device of the ether energy storage tank apparently also thought of breaking through the window to escape this escape route, so he arranged a heavy helicopter gunship to intercept it early. Of course, it's best not to use this backhand, after all, the manpower arrangement in this area is to use one less one. But now that it's been arranged, it's time to kill the target completely and completely.
The orange-red fireball from the explosion gradually shrank in the air.
The pilot of the heavy helicopter gunship was well aware of the power of these two missiles, which were high-explosive shells that could hit the attacking aircraft and deal heavy damage to the attackers, and it was not a problem to deal with three people who did not even wear a mechanical exoskeleton. And even if the missile misses, what is the use of the airborne artillery? I saw them hit first by artillery, and then by missiles. In this case, there is no doubt that people will die!
The driver didn't wait, and immediately began to gain altitude and prepare to get out of the current airspace.
Spying is a high-risk job, especially a spy like him who has broken into the Dawning Lord's army. Once discovered, death becomes a luxury. So take advantage of the fact that the army stationed there has not yet reacted, run first, and run as far as you can! Then find a dangerous place to jump the plane, make the illusion of a helicopter crash, and then hide incognito for a while.
The driver is an experienced veteran spy and a veteran who specializes in "wet work". So the retreat route has been planned well in advance. He still wants to live a few more years! It's best to die in your own bed, surrounded by children and grandchildren.
The orange-red flames disappeared completely, and the next thing to dissipate was the smoke from the explosion.
- What! It's all right!
The downward viewfinder in the cockpit once again captures three falling figures.
The three figures were surrounded at this moment, and a dark golden circular force field completely enveloped the three of them. If nothing else, it was this circular force field that resisted the attack just now.
- What a hassle!
The nose at the beginning is pressed down again. The helicopter gunship immediately adjusted its trajectory, and the huge fuselage seemed clumsy and actually began to rotate quite quickly. The cannon with the nose facing down is controlled by the angle of rotation, and it is temporarily impossible to aim at the falling figure, but it is believed that it will only be ...... for a while.
"Drip, drip, drip!"
Suddenly the alarm sounded in the cockpit.
- What a situation!
The alarm sound is short and continuous. Based on experience, the pilot immediately recognized that this was an alert for an incoming guided missile. He immediately pulled up the lever with one hand and maneuvered the helicopter to maneuver to evade; With the other hand, he pressed the switch of the decoy missile launcher, and a series of red points of light immediately shot out from both sides of the heavy gunship.
"Boom!"
Even through the heavy armor of the heavy gunship and the pilot's helmet with noise reduction, the sound of explosions coming from behind the helicopter can be heard. Immediately afterward, the helicopter began to heave slightly, apparently affected by the blast.
Based on past experience, the pilot knew very well that it was a guided missile that hit the decoy missile and exploded. However, the decoy missile is extremely close to the body, which means that as long as his movements are slightly slower just now, then the missile will hit directly!
The continuous, short sirens stopped, but there was a large spot of light on the radar. Immediately after, a huge figure leaped out from below, and with it was a scorching line of fire - a large-caliber rapid-fire cannon!
"Bang, bang, bang......"
There was a series of heart-wrenching bangs on the helicopter's outer armor, and the body began to vibrate violently at the same time. There is no doubt that he was shot! But fortunately, it is a heavy gunship, and the outer armor is relatively thick. A round of rapid-fire cannon also attacked...... You should be able to handle it!
After a heart-wrenching jolt, the helicopter returned to its poising. However, most of the cockpit icons showing the condition of the airframe are yellowed, and the left side of the abdomen is a large red patch. Apparently the attack came from the lower left.
The driver no longer cared about the falling target, and hurriedly pressed the button of the smoke grenade. Thick white smoke rose from the helicopter, and several iron canisters shot out of the helicopter's left and right auxiliary wings. The grand white smoke enveloped the entire heavy helicopter gunship almost instantaneously.
The glimpse just now was enough for the pilot to see clearly that it was a strong attack machine.
The assault planes are all made of metal, and the light weight is about 50 tons, the weight is almost 80 tons, and there are even super heavy ones of more than 100 tons. Combined with weapons and all sorts of additional equipment, the total weight of the sortie is usually between 60 and 100 tons. Fly entirely on the body's own etheric engines...... It's not that you can't, but after flying for a while, a warning of "energy exhaustion" will pop up.
Therefore, the assault fighters usually do not have the ability to fly. If a short period of air is required during the battle, it is generally through the squatting and jumping action, combined with the full force of the engine nozzle, to achieve the jump of the body and perform a short stagnation taxi.
The attack came as a surprise, but the driver was not alarmed.
The current height is still more than 250 grams, which is almost the limit of the jump and rise of the assault machine. In other words, if the attacking Raiders don't want to fall to the ground and fall into canned meat, they can carry out such a round of attacks. When the ceiling is reached, the body will begin to fall, and increasing the output of the jet thruster can indeed stay in the air for a while longer, but this behavior is no different from seeking death.
Relying on the increased output of the jet propulsion to stay in the air, the maneuverability of the assault aircraft in this situation is extremely poor, and it can be said that it is a target that does not move. If the pilot who attacked did this, the pilot felt that he could earn himself an extra record todayβand he could exchange it for a bounty from his employer afterwards!
Heavy helicopter gunships are rising, and the pace of the ascent is not slow. After a while, the propeller at the top of the fuselage emerged from the smoke.
The smoke emitted by helicopters is characteristic, and it can last for a long time, even in windy conditions. The tin cans fired at the same time are also smoke grenades, but this smoke grenade not only emits a large amount of smoke, but also shoots out thin metal flakes. Thin metal flakes can interfere with radar detection, thus interfering with the opponent's aiming, and smoke obscures the field of vision, which in turn obscures both visual and radar detection.
Assault Fighters are known for their agility and for their ability to be armed, with great firepower. As for reconnaissance and detection, unless it is a dedicated reconnaissance body, other models of aircraft are very average in terms of reconnaissance and detection, and a few smoke grenades are enough to interfere with its aiming.
However, while the smoke grenades protect the helicopter, it also disables the helicopter's means of attack. Interference from the dispersion of metal flakes can hinder radar detection, and its effect is bidirectional. That is, it hinders its own aiming and locking, and it also hinders its external detection and targeting. Moreover, the smoke itself also obscures the driver's vision, so in order to attack, it is also necessary to get out of the range of the smoke grenade.
"Drip, Drip, Drip......"
A continuous and short siren sounded again, which was another indication that the radar had detected a high-speed approaching guided missile.
The pilot didn't have time to think about it, and pressed the button of the decoy missile again. All the remaining decoy missiles were fired at once.
The decoy missiles fired from the left and right auxiliary wings reversed into the white smoke like red salutes. A moment later, two loud bangs rang out in the air. The shrapnel from the explosion once again swept through the exterior wall of the Tower of Babel Hotel, and the already devastated wall was mercilessly hit and instantly became full of holes.
"Whew, Whew, Whew......"
The driver gasped violently.
Even though the decoy missile successfully detonated the incoming missile, the helicopter was still somewhat affected by the explosion. Even with the protection of heavy armor, every rise and fall of the body is still terrifying. The flashing red sirens in the cockpit and the resounding electronic sirens are also enough to make people nervous.
One round of guided missiles, then an attack with a rapid-fire cannon, and then another round of guided missiles - this pilot is quite difficult! But no matter how difficult it is, it should almost reach the limit!
The driver tilts the lever to the left.
The helicopter echoed his movements, turning to the left side of the fuselage. The on-board gun in the nose shook and began to look for the target and take aim.
Once the falling Assault Soldier enters the crosshairs, it will face a ruthless artillery fire! The guided missiles on the auxiliary wings will also be full of face without hesitation!
- Hurry, hurry...... Faster!
The helicopter's fuselage was tilted nearly forty-five degrees, almost to the limit of what the fuselage could tilt. But the airspace on the lower left was completely devoid of the shadow of the damn assault machine, and the three figures that were falling had been spotted again.
- Now is not the time to deal with them! Eliminate the threat first......
There was a loud "boom", and the driver only felt that the body shook violently at first, and then suddenly began to fall.
A shrill siren sounded in the cockpit.
- What happened!
The pilot glanced at the holographic screen in front of him showing the condition of the helicopter's fuselage, and was immediately stunned by the prompt at the top of the damage management system. The most priority threat shown by the damage management system is β load alerts!
