Soldiers Assault: Veteran Special Recruits

The preparations for the Stone Kestrel were successfully completed and several hours passed.

"It's 5:18, it's almost dawn, I have to move faster."

Checking the time while wiping his sweat, Jackie Chan quickly walked to the door without taking a rest, and slowly pushed the door open to both sides.

Jackie Chan used a lot of force but his movements were very light.

Although the large iron gate was heavy and cumbersome, it did not make much noise.

Jackie Chan didn't stop until the door was fully opened to both sides and the width reached about ten meters, which was enough for the helicopter to enter and exit normally.

He looked at the buildings a few hundred meters away and observed them carefully for about ten seconds.

After making sure nothing unusual happened, he turned around and ran towards a small tractor-trailer.

The Stone Kestrel does not have the ability to travel slowly on land like other aircraft.

If you want to drive out of the hangar and move to the take-off and landing apron outside, you can only use external force, usually a special tractor.

As a result, Jackie Chan climbed on top of the tractor and found that the thing couldn't ignite.

"I'll go, is it broken?"

There was nothing wrong with the protagonist, but something went wrong with the supporting role. This was something Jackie Chan never expected.

Looking through the gate, the sky has turned white and the morning stars have already risen. There is no time to repair this tractor.

"MD, machines are unreliable, we have to rely on people."

Jackie Chan gave up repairing the tractor and returned to the front of the stone kestrel in three steps. He grabbed the towing rope, turned around and started deadlifting.

There is no tractor-trailer.

Jackie Chan chose to pull the helicopter with his bare hands.

The empty weight of the Stone Kestrel armed helicopter is close to nine tons. When fully loaded with weapons, ammunition and fuel, the weight easily reaches more than ten tons.

For most people, towing a helicopter weighing more than ten tons with bare hands is just a dream.

However, Jackie Chan is no ordinary person.

He is inhuman!
"Drink~"

Jackie Chan flexed his muscles and let out a low voice involuntarily.

The stone kestrel, which was impossible for ordinary people to drag, actually started to move, following Jackie Chan's footsteps, heading towards the gate.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

The same goes for pulling heavy objects.

Jackie Chan, who successfully pulled the stone kestrel, moved forward with more and more steady steps and faster and faster, and the helicopter wheels spun and flew up.

As for Jackie Chan, who is still in a ferocious state, it seems that he has not yet reached his physical limit.

have to say.

With such exaggerated power, he is simply inhuman.

With Jackie Chan's incredible one-man pulling of the helicopter, it took less than a minute for the Kestrel armed helicopter to enter the helipad.

Jackie Chan casually dropped the tow rope and untied the other end tied to the helicopter.

The entry method of an armed helicopter is different from other types of left and right openings. It is the same as that of modern fighter jets, with the glass hatch opening upwards.

Since the entrance to the hatch is relatively high from the ground, even if there is a ladder frame, it will be awkward to get in.

Jackie Chan easily entered the cockpit of the Stone Kestrel without moving any ladders. The reason was the unique fuselage structure of the Stone Kestrel.

The Stone Kestrel's turret is mounted in front of the nose, rather than directly under the fuselage.

The cannon in this position has a wider upward firing range and is not blocked by the nose of the aircraft, which is beneficial for shooting in air combat.

In addition, the ammunition supply method adopted by the airborne cannon is without ammunition chain supply, which limits its ammunition box to the vicinity of the nose.

It is equivalent to the ammunition box being outside.

Although it is an external close-range ammunition box, it has built-in heat insulation and ceramic bulletproof layers. In terms of defense, it does not pose a big problem.

Jackie Chan took advantage of his height and long legs to climb up by stepping on the cannon ammunition box of the Stone Kestrel.

Put all the tactical backpacks and weapons you brought over in the passenger seat at the back, and secure these things with seat belts.

Then he sat in his main driver's seat, reached up and grabbed the hatch cover.

"Boom~"

The transparent hatch is closed.

The steps to get on the helicopter are complete, all that's left is to prepare for takeoff.

Put the flight helmet equipped with a sight on your head, lock the multi-point safety belt on the driver's seat, and then quickly control the instrument panel with both hands.

Clicking the button...

Various instruments in the cabin started to activate, and various LCD and digital displays, buttons, etc., all lit up under Jackie Chan's operation.

"Buzz~, Huh, Huh, Huh..."

The 1400-kilowatt turboshaft engine began to slowly rotate from this moment on.

30 seconds later!

The rotation speed of the rotor increased rapidly, from visible to the naked eye to an afterimage.

Strong gusts of wind blew down, raising thick dust on the tarmac, and the sound of the rotor rotation became louder and louder.

Perhaps this group of red scarf soldiers didn't expect anyone to be so bold.

Or maybe it's five or six in the morning, which is the time when sleepiness is deep.

Now the Stone Kestrel helicopter has started, the helicopter's rotor blower is whirring, and the engine sound is loud, but no Red Turban Army has appeared.

Jackie Chan retracted his gaze to observe the distance and retrieved the terrain map from the onboard memory.

Then, the route of the coordinates of the Chinese-owned factory was transferred from the helicopter's instrument panel display to the HUD display directly ahead.

In addition to the display screen on the instrument panel, the "Stone Kestrel" also has three transparent HUDs.

That is, a heads-up display.

This is a display device that uses the principle of optical reflection to project important flight-related information onto a piece of glass.

It is the "head-up display" used in cars, but this one is more advanced, the display is clearer, and the content will be richer.

Of course the price is also higher!
This thing sounds like it's very high-end, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan to put it in a car.

In fact, as far as the HUD technology itself is concerned, it is not a new technology. As early as 1960, it was successfully used on the U.S. Navy's A-5 carrier-based aircraft.

It sounds very high-end and science fiction.

But its operating principle is very popular. A simple summary is image projection.

After the data is processed and converted by the computer, the required information is transferred to the display unit of the HUD, and then the image is projected onto the transparent glass in front.

This piece of glass is located at the front of the cockpit, roughly at the level of the pilot's eyes.

Ensure that the projected text and images are adjusted to a distance of infinite focal length.

When the pilot observes the HUD screen, he can not only see the data information displayed on the screen, but also bring the outside world into his field of vision through the transparent HUD display screen.

This is unmatched by the instrument display!

For jet fighters that attack beyond visual range, the HUD may not be very useful.

But for armed helicopters that perform tasks within visual distance, the application of HUD technology will greatly enhance their combat capabilities and survivability on the battlefield.

The HUD equipped with the "Stone Kestrel" not only displays data related to flight safety. For example, flight altitude, flight speed, heading, vertical speed changes, aircraft tilt angle, etc., in addition to all control-related information.

Once it enters a combat environment, it will also cooperate with the optoelectronic equipment and fire control system to activate the large protruding nose under the fuselage - the "TDATS turret".

That is, a system for automatic detection, interception and tracking.

By automatically calculating target information, weapons and launch-related information, a "crosshair" of estimated hits appears on the HUD screen to assist the pilot in aiming and firing.

Control TDATS turret search, lock on with helmet sights, HUD crosshairs.

Control, aim, fire.

These three abilities are combined together, and all of them are concentrated on the HUD, which becomes the powerful melee attack ability of the "Stone Kestrel".

After Jackie Chan finished debugging all the instruments, he saw that the take-off indicator light had turned green.

He immediately grabbed the control stick with his right hand, pulled the throttle with his left hand, and started taking off.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

The helicopter's throttle continued to increase, and when it reached a certain critical point, it suddenly increased several times, and the rotor speed also accelerated, creating a violent airflow.

Driven by the updraft, the Stone Kestrel's fuselage began to slowly leave the ground.

When the sentry in the main building, more than 300 meters away, heard the strange noise outside and slowly walked out, the helicopter had already risen to a height of seven or eight meters.

"We didn't receive an order. Who allowed him to fly the helicopter?"

"When did he come in?"

"Is this stealing a plane?"

Looking at the "Stone Kestrel" armed helicopter flying higher and higher in the darkness, the Red Scarf Army sentry's mind was filled with questions. He almost stared at the ground and stood there with a look of disbelief on his face.

However, although he could not understand it, he knew the seriousness of the matter.

"哐~"

The sentry slammed the butt of his gun on the alarm.

Then he pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, and started shooting violently at the helicopter.

"Da da da……"

"Woo-wu-wu..."

The fierce automatic rifle fire, mixed with the harsh sirens, immediately broke the calm of the air force base, and was more effective than any shouting to the police.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Dang~"

When a 7.62 bullet was fired from a few hundred meters away, except for one blind cat that hit a dead mouse, the other bullets all missed and had no effect at all.

Because even if two shots hit the fuselage, it still looks so weak.

The strongest defensive armor of an armed helicopter is at the bottom of the fuselage. Ordinary rifle bullets hitting it are like tickling it.

"Click, click, click!"

"Damn, what happened?"

"Asshole, helicopter, our helicopter's gone, it's gone."

When the sentry finished shooting a magazine, the other young red scarf soldiers who were awakened by the alarm finally ran out disheveled and cursing.

At this time, the "Stone Kestrel", under the control of Jackie Chan, had already flown to an altitude of twenty or thirty meters.

Even if this group of red scarf soldiers were like crazy, shooting at the helicopter with guns, they still couldn't stop Jackie Chan from taking off powerfully.

When someone went back and took out the RPG, he ran to the parking lot and drove a heavy machine gun pickup truck.

It's too late!
During this period of time, Jackie Chan flew a helicopter to an altitude of hundreds of meters, flew seven or eight hundred meters and disappeared into the dark night sky.

The Red Scarf Army could only watch in confusion, not even figuring out what happened.

The Kestrel armed helicopter has strong performance, with a maximum flight speed of 309 kilometers per hour and a cruising speed of 287 kilometers per hour.

The distance between the Chinese-owned factory and the air force base is displayed as 158 kilometers on the HUD navigation.

Even though Jackie Chan was not very used to the Stone Kestrel, he took out the instruction manual in the air to study while flying back and forth, and crammed in to learn the operating functions.

Even if the flight speed can only be slowed down, it won't take long.

Although Jackie Chan has flown armed helicopters in China, flying domestic armed helicopters does not mean that he can fully understand the Stone Kestrel helicopter.

It's like driving a car, although the driving method is the same, with the steering wheel and clutch, accelerator and brake.

However, how to use the various functions in the car and where to turn them on are basically different for each car, and it will take some time to adapt to and learn.

Jackie Chan has a big battle to fight next, and he must be as familiar with the stone kestrel as possible.

After all, it was my first time to come into contact with this kind of armed helicopter. It was one thing to know how to fly it, but it was another thing completely to fly it well and display its combat effectiveness.

It is very necessary to study and understand through the manual in advance.

……

At 6:35 in the morning, it was just getting dark.

Jackie Chan used his super memory to flip through the instruction manual, which was thicker than a dictionary, and barely remembered the more important functions.

The Stone Kestrel armed helicopter he also drove entered Sankuga town and appeared 20 kilometers west of the Chinese-owned factory.

at this time!

"Ding~ding~ding..."

The prompt sound with a long tail tone resounded crisply in the cockpit.

"what's the situation?"

Jackie Chan frowned slightly and turned to look at the heads-up display on the far right.

I saw a distant view automatically appearing on it, with the distance displayed as 4.86 kilometers, and a series of green circles in an orderly manner, spreading in the form of sound waves.

There is also a series of reminders at the top of the HUD——

Attention, signal emission source detected!
The stone kestrel's airborne observation and aiming early warning system has the ability to detect and transmit images at long distances.

As long as the weather is clear and the conditions are good, and the take-off altitude is certain, the detection distance of the Stone Kestrel is 8.5 kilometers during the day and 4.5 kilometers at night.

In order to prevent being detected by radar, Jackie Chan is now flying the "Stone Kestrel" at a low altitude. The field of vision is limited by the terrain and the detection range has been reduced.

The detection range is 8.5 kilometers during the day, but it is normal for the alarm to be received only after 5 kilometers.

Jackie Chan received the reminder from the airborne system, and immediately turned his attention to the left HUD, and controlled it on the console to zoom in on the image.

Although it is not very clear, it can be vaguely distinguished.

Pickups with high-speed machines, military off-road vehicles with firepower mounted on the roof, camouflaged medium tanks and armored vehicles, large command vehicles integrating radar communications, etc.

Twenty or thirty heavily armed vehicles rumbled on the road, raising thick exhaust gas and dust, which was very spectacular and fierce.

"Traveling all night? I didn't expect...Old D would actually cause this."

Seeing the team on the screen, which was twice as large as the one in the original plot, Jackie Chan sighed secretly, and quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Dr. Chen's number.

"Du~du~du!"

In less than three seconds, the call was connected.
