Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 570: Fighting until dawn, withered bones in the grave
The Marmot crew opened fire first, and the upgraded Mi-24P's dual 30mm machine guns fired ammunition into the distance. The tracer ballistics that tore through the night sky were very beautiful.

But the soft targets that were hit by high-explosive warheads were not in a good mood.

"Boom~~"

Some of the homemade bombs they were carrying exploded, but some people organized a counterattack.

"咻~咻~~"

The PG-7VL armor-piercing projectile with a modified fuse had its mosquito-coated folding tail fins spread out, and its rocket engine ignited, accelerating toward the Mi-24P that was leading the charge.

Using RPG-7 to shoot down helicopters is a unique skill of the Chumari people. The key is to prevent the delayed fuse set to self-destruct at 1000 meters (4.5 seconds) from being triggered.

Let’s not talk about whether the attack is accurate or not. You can’t just blow yourself up and set off fireworks before reaching the target, right?

Extending the effective range is important, but it would be even better if it were equipped with a non-contact proximity fuze for portable air defense missiles.

Unfortunately, this gap between RPG and MANPADS has not yet been filled by kind-hearted people.

Air-to-ground anti-tank missiles include guided rockets, and individual anti-tank missiles also use the AT-4 launch system. There is also the NLAW anti-tank missile with a tandem warhead. As for individual air defense weapons, there is no good substitute.

Not to mention being as cheap as RPG-7, the price should at least be reduced to around $ or $!
"咻~咻~~"

Two more RG-7VL armor-piercing shells were fired from another direction, but the Army Aviation Department of the Fire Defense Force had conducted special targeted training. They would never airdrop people unless they were besieging a stronghold, and they would hover in the air as live targets.

The four Hinds nimbly avoided the armor-piercing warheads with just a few simple maneuvers, until they lost power and fell to the ground and exploded.

"Damn it, we still have to use the portable anti-aircraft missiles. Don't stop, keep attacking them."

The commander of the team cursed angrily.

Before setting off, the batch of consumer-grade drones that the leader had bought at a high price had just arrived, and he thought that the RG-7VL warhead without the rocket engine was not too heavy, so he thought whether he could use a drone to tie it to crash into the helicopter.

But a quadcopter can only bully helicopters parked on the ground.

As soon as it flew up, it was blown away by the strong wind from the propeller and could not hit the target at all.

The same can be said for small cruise missiles, and large ones can almost force armed helicopters to carry air-to-air missiles and transport helicopters to carry jamming pods.

Anyway, when facing regular troops, the survival rate of helicopter units is greatly reduced, but extremist organizations these days can get portable anti-aircraft missiles.

If there are no targeted countermeasures, it is better to use fewer helicopter units.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The Hornet crew that entered the attack range also officially opened fire. The accuracy of the machine gun turret was much better, but facing such a scattered crowd:
"咻~咻~咻~~"

The rocket nest fired one 80mm dart after another. This thing is not as good as a small steel ball when loaded in a No. 12 shotgun shell, but when it comes to the warhead of artillery shells and rockets, it forms a scale effect once the number increases.

"Boom~boom~boom~~"

The arrow-shaped fragments mixed with the explosives accelerated in all directions under the push of the explosion airflow.

The soft targets hiding behind bushes and trees were stabbed directly, and those who were stabbed in the aorta died within a few minutes. The efficiency was very high, but at this moment...

"咻~咻~咻~~"

Several more RG-7VL armor-piercing shells were launched into the air, but the ultraviolet/infrared warning system on the Longbow Crossbow suddenly sounded an alarm.

Oh no, there are portable anti-aircraft missiles mixed in with the rockets. The Jumali youth team has learned to play dirty tricks.

But so what?
The flying monkeys and flying squirrels, who had a clear division of labor, had already taken action. Facing the incoming missiles, the Longbow Crossbow tilted its nose forward to protect the tail rotor in a defensive posture, and then followed closely:

"Puff~puff~puff~~"

Heat-decoy bombs were fired frantically from both sides of the aircraft, forming a barrage to intercept the FN-6.

This is not enough. The infrared seeker of this portable air defense missile has been upgraded with anti-interference capabilities, so friendly forces must also work harder at this time.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

The additional armor on the fuselage was one standard lower than that of the Longbow Cross Deer and the Old Deer Tiger. The two Mi-24Ps raised their noses and fired one S-8O flare after another in front of Lao Han and his men.

I have to say that the former Soviet Union made great use of uncontrolled rockets. In addition to its own jammer launch system, the rocket nest can also fire S-8O flares and S-8P chaff jammers.

At this time, the burning time exceeds 30 seconds, and the flare with an intensity of 200 million candela will not only blind the infrared seeker, but will definitely interfere with the normal operation of the missile, even though its infrared radiation spectrum characteristics are not similar to those of a helicopter.

After a few seconds, the sky seemed to brighten.

"Boom~~"

The FN-6 that missed its target self-destructed after a delay.

"They actually brought portable anti-aircraft missiles. Let's launch a round of rockets first."

Xia Yu gave the order.

"Yes, boss!"

"咻~咻~咻~~"

The four Hinds redeployed and fired rockets at the scattered soft targets.

The RPG shooters and anti-aircraft shooters who had just attacked were all pierced by the arrow-shaped fragments and turned into hedgehogs.

After finishing this round of fighting, they formed a team and rushed to the next location to reload their ammunition, leaving the remaining targets to the Fennec Fox, the Sea Knight, and the Old Black Hawk.

The best feature of the Mi-1 platform is that it has a troop carrier compartment. However, just as mechanized infantry do not like the troop carrier compartments of the BMP-2 and BMP-24, airborne troops do not like the troop carrier compartment of the Mi-8 that can seat eight people.

Its greatest use in concentrated fire defense is to carry an extra base of ammunition for reloading.

When faced with a fierce battle, 80 rockets are simply not enough.

Two rounds of 160 rounds is decent!
"Dong~dong~dong~~"

"Sudden~sudden~sudden~~"

"Bang~bang~~"

The second-line helicopter fleet on the spot finished off the attack with machine cannons, machine guns, and sniper rifles. They fired ammunition at all the soft targets that were still movable in the thermal imaging sights, and their efficiency was very high.

In this operation, heavy armed helicopters are responsible for attacking and resisting damage, while light armed helicopters, general-purpose helicopters, and transport helicopters are used to provide support.

Just to clean up the mess, more than a dozen helicopters fired more than 100,000 bullets of different calibers, but only killed a few hundred people at most.

To be honest, this is already a good deal. After all, compared to rockets and programmed bombs, conventional ammunition is the least valuable thing on the battlefield.

It takes a US soldier 25 bullets to kill one enemy. Fire suppression and daily training are the biggest sources of ammunition consumption. In a game like this, the consumption is not high.

Or to put it more efficiently, after clearing this place, the second-line fleet was divided into two groups. Those with enough ammunition would join up with the Hind fleet that had completed field combat and reloading.

Those who ran out of ammunition would return to the outpost camp, restock their ammunition and fuel, and then return to take over from another group of people.

This relay combat method helps to maintain the continuity of firepower. What we are afraid of now is running out of bullets.

At night, the cold wind from high altitude quickly cooled the hot gun barrels, and the door machine gunners of the Sea Knight and the Old Black Hawk also replaced the machine guns with large ammunition boxes with a capacity of several thousand rounds.

The space in general-purpose helicopters and transport helicopters can carry enough ammunition, unlike light armed helicopters which have very little space.

However, because all the shooting was done in the air, these helicopter units did not drop any paratroopers on the ground, so even though so many people were killed, there were still one or two hundred people who escaped.

Some of them were frightened, while others remained steadfast and continued to move towards the border. Waiting for these guys were the second and third fire nets.

Xia Yu will never allow Kenniya to cause chaos in exchange for money. These diehards had better just stay put!

“Beep~click~”

"Boom~~"

Lao Luhu’s machine gun turret began to roar, directly blowing up a pickup truck full of people.

All the ammunition of the two Sparrowhawk Bs and two CH-4s was used up, but the remaining pickup trucks of the Chumari Youth Team were not used up. This extremist organization with several thousand people still has some foundation.

But it doesn’t matter. If drones are not enough, we can still use armed helicopter units for concentrated fire defense.

After firing four rounds of Hoth-3, Xia Yu flew into the range of the machine gun turret and opened fire.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

Four or five RG-7VL armor-piercing shells covered an FN-6 attack on him, but the distance was still a bit far, and no friendly forces were needed to provide cover:

“Puff~puff~puff~puff~~”

Xia Yu fired a round of heat-seeking missiles directly before maneuvering out of the missile seeker's field of view.

"Boom~~"

The missile that approaches only after the heat decoy missile is extinguished will execute the self-destruct procedure after losing the target.

"Flying monkey, shoot him!"

"Hey~~"

A Blue Arrow7 engine on the outermost pylon of the Longbow Crossbow ignited and flew rapidly towards the pickup truck carrying the anti-aircraft shooter.

Like the RPG-7, today's mainstream MANPADS have reusable launchers, while missiles are consumables.

If we don't destroy this anti-aircraft unit immediately, the enemy will take out the spare bullet and fire another one, which will be troublesome.

"Boom~~"

Amid the explosion, the red Hellfire accurately hit the target, and the remaining personnel and soft targets jumped out of the car, left the mountain road, and rushed into the woods.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

Two Mi-24P machine guns opened fire, and the high-explosive bombs blew the empty pickup trucks into fireballs.

Even if we can't kill them, we must destroy their means of transportation.

After doing all this, it's time to hunt.

The four Hinds continued to maintain their formation and attacked the fleeing soft targets together.

The complex terrain reduced their efficiency, but strong men like challenging work. The remaining fuel and replenished ammunition were enough for them to continue high-intensity combat for half an hour.

"咻~咻~咻~~"

The two sides fired rockets at each other, interspersed with portable air defense missiles and air-to-ground missiles, but how could sporadic counterattacks on the ground compare with aerial artillery?
The battlefield situation was developing in a one-sided direction. FN-6 had no advantage at all if they could not be used in a concentrated manner. The weapons that the Jumali Youth Team had obtained at great cost did not play the desired role.

All we can say is that extremist organizations are just extremist organizations after all, and any efforts to militarize them are in vain.

If you encounter other PMC companies, you can hide if you can't defeat them, but if you encounter concentrated fire defense, you will be in big trouble.

Hiding means death, and there is no point in trying to exchange death with Party A. Their only fate is to be buried in the vast mountains of Dongfei and turned into food for plants and beasts.

Abdi hiding in the tunnel?

Dry bones in the tomb!
Having been put on the blacklist of the Fire Defense Force many years ago, the gears of his fate began to count down.

"Team C, report the situation!"

"Team E, report the situation immediately!"

Abdi called several groups of people in succession but received no response, and bad thoughts came to his mind.

Unfortunately, he no longer dared to send anyone out of the base. Time passed by minute by minute and before he knew it, it was dawn.

"Chief, our people died tragically!"

After daybreak, a patrol team outside came back and reported with horror on their faces.

Electromagnetic interference blocked communications, so they had no choice but to run back and report what they saw and heard to their leader in person.

Because they had planned their hiding place in advance, the helicopter did not find them, but intensive gunfire sounded throughout the night.

On the way back, I passed by the battlefield and was frightened by the tragic scene. Being pierced into a hedgehog by arrow-shaped fragments or being shot into a sieve by small-caliber ammunition was still considered a good thing.

The cruelest ones were those that were destroyed by homemade bombs, or hit by machine gun bullets and anti-tank missile shrapnel. They were so torn into pieces that they could not be put together at all.

"How is this possible? I sent out 1500 people, and you sue me and they are all dead?"

Abdi didn't believe it, but he thought of something and asked them immediately.

"How many helicopters did they send out?"

"More than 20. I counted them with night vision goggles. There were more than 20 of them, big and small."

The patrol leader said this with certainty.

"Some have machine guns, some have rocket pods, but every helicopter has a Gatling gun, and the bullets just rain down."

As he spoke, he gestured, saying that the tracer trajectory should not be too conspicuous in the dark, which made him shiver for most of the night, fearing that if the trajectory deviated towards him, he would not be able to come back.

"More than 20 helicopters? Why didn't they use any helicopters before?"

Abdi's eyes widened suddenly. He felt like he was being tricked.

There is no other reason. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles cannot be used in mountainous areas, so the main force of the second phase of the operation was replaced by artillery and helicopters.

Lao A also knew that four Hinds had appeared in several previous deployments of Concentrated Fire Defense, and he was mentally prepared for this, but he did not expect that the other party would deploy more than 4 helicopters this time.

Now a lot of things make sense. No wonder those strongholds were lost so quickly and completely, without even a single person escaping alive.

It turns out that the other side has so many helicopters!

I'm afraid you made your fortune in Afghanistan. Damn Chinese people, can't you destroy so many helicopters more thoroughly?

The magnesium people said that there was no way we could do anything about the agreement between Tata and I. If we pour gasoline on it and burn it, we would be in tatters with each other. So many of them have not yet withdrawn!
"That's not right. Are our anti-aircraft missiles useless?"

Abdi immediately thought of the FN-6 that he had bought at a high price.

He was mentally prepared that the rockets would not be able to shoot down the helicopter, but with so many portable anti-aircraft missiles, it shouldn't be possible to not achieve any results, right?
"Useless leader, these guys look very experienced in dodging missiles. They are not afraid at all. They set off fireworks and maneuvered. They dodged all the missiles mixed in with the rockets."

After hearing this, Abdi finally gave up. To shoot down those helicopters that were more numerous than flies, portable anti-aircraft missiles alone were not enough.

He has to buy short-range anti-aircraft missiles.

If I had known this would happen, I would have bought two sets of -10 arrows from Xunxun!
