Time Travel 04: I Fight the US in the Middle East

Can a 25mm grenade penetrate an Apache helicopter?

Actually, the gunners weren't confident yet, but... they had to unconditionally believe what Leader Azam said; if he said it would work, it would definitely work!

The tracer bullet streaked across the sky, heading towards its target!

Wait, the point of impact is off!

This thing originally had a dedicated fire control system, but after it was removed, in order to install it on the fire truck, all other unnecessary things had to be thrown away. No matter how advanced the fire control system is, it is not easy to install and debug, and even if it is installed and debugged, it is not certain that anyone will know how to use it.

The current method is still the best—simple and direct!

Based on the tracer trajectory, the gunner quickly adjusted the firing angle...

The first two shells missed their mark, and the third shell hit the cockpit window!

Boom!

The glass was smashed open with a large hole the moment it collided!

According to US military standards, this glass can only stop armor-piercing rounds fired from 12.7mm caliber guns!

Now, even a grenade flying at 1100 meters per second can be easily knocked away, with the warhead flying into the cockpit and delaying the fuse's activation.

boom!

As the explosion occurred, the zirconium powder propellant inside the missile ignited, turning the entire cockpit into a blazing furnace!

Spectacular!

The cannon didn't need to rotate. As the fire truck continued to move forward, the shells moved horizontally with it. The next shell hit the area behind the flight seat, where the fuel tank was located!

To enhance safety, the Apache's fuel tank has a very complex design. It is located above the main landing gear and behind the flight seat to minimize the possibility of being hit. At the same time, the fuel tank also adopts a professional self-sealing design, filled with foam inside and wrapped with raw rubber outside. There is even Kevlar bulletproof material on the outer shell!

However... none of them are effective against 25mm tracer incendiary grenades!

Boom!

The warhead, propelled by the energy of the impact, slams into the target, triggering the fuse.

boom!

Blazing flames shot out from the smashed opening, just like a flamethrower!

The flames spread rapidly in all directions, igniting the top engine. The rocket launchers on the side stub pylons suddenly burst into flames, and rockets shot out, flying forward and destroying another parked helicopter...

Become!

In the passenger seat, Azam wasn't too shocked.

after all,

The Apache was designed to withstand a direct hit from a 23mm high-explosive shell, specifically targeting the 23mm anti-aircraft guns commonly used by the Soviet Union. However, a 25mm high-explosive shell could easily destroy it!

Thump thump thump!

Boom boom boom!

The M242 Bushmaster machine gun fired incessantly, strafing the helicopters along the way. By the time the fire trucks passed, the helicopters had been blown up, and the entire airfield was engulfed in flames!

Inside the command center, Sean Gaines watched with eyes blazing with fury.

"Those damn locals, we shouldn't have trusted them! No, no, the oil depot fire just now, they must have been the ones who started it!"

Although I didn't understand it at first, now that I've put all the clues together, I can discover this terrible truth: it was all a conspiracy!

Although it's still unclear how the other side managed to set the oil depot on fire without alerting us, it's certain that they did it on purpose. They knew that if the oil depot caught fire, the base's own firefighting capabilities wouldn't be able to extinguish it, so they would have to call for help from the nearby fire station.

There are no strict checks at all. When a fire truck arrives with its siren on, it will definitely get the green light all the way!

These aren't fire trucks at all; they're mobile firing positions!

Three fire trucks and six M242 machine guns—this would be absolutely brutal in a fight!

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly call in the troops patrolling outside and wipe out these militants!" Sean Gaines shouted at his adjutant, Alvin.

The base is full of technicians, few of whom know how to use weapons and equipment, and even fewer dare to rush in and die in front of the Viper machine gun!

Only when the guard troops outside come in can they fight against these fire trucks!

After all, fire trucks are only equipped with machine guns and have no armor protection, so they can't confront military vehicles head-on... The scene was shrouded in smoke, making it difficult to see clearly. Once these vehicles leave the helipad, they will be taken out from a distance!

Boom! Boom boom!

Just then, a series of explosions suddenly rang out from the other side of the tarmac!

That is……

Mortars are firing! Covering fire on outposts in that direction!

It can't cover the entire base, but it can cover a sentry post outside the base!

If this outpost is attacked, a gap will appear in the base's defenses!

The fire trucks, wreaking havoc on the base, drove forward, destroying helicopters in their path, their speed undiminished, all the way to the opening, and then made their escape...

"Damn it, quick, get the patrols outside to reinforce the area where the bomb was fired and stop these damn bastards!"

At this moment, helicopters were still being shot down on the tarmac. No one could stop the atrocities of these invaders. They would blow up all the helicopters!

Even if we can't save these helicopters, we have to wipe out all these invaders, otherwise... my time as the base commander is over!

Hearing Sean Gaines's roar, Alvin didn't dare to delay and quickly picked up the radio to call the patrol team outside.

Upon receiving the order, Humvees roared up and rushed toward the bombed outpost!

Inside the command center, Sean Gaines finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Hmph, trying to escape? No way! Since you're here, you'll die here!"

As long as these guys

Thump thump thump!

Boom boom boom!

By this time, the battle on the tarmac was nearing its end, and the last Black Hawk helicopter had been destroyed!

The fifty or so helicopters parked at the base were all reduced to flames! Over a billion dollars were burned!

The cannons of the Great Viper were glowing red-hot, and all the gunners were incredibly excited. It was so exhilarating! Fighting alongside Leader Azam was simply awesome!

On the first fire truck, Azam shouted, "Turn right ahead and head towards the ammunition depot!"

Swish, whoosh!

All three fire trucks turned around in unison!

Inside the command center, Sean Gaines, who had just relaxed, suddenly changed his expression: "What's going on? Those cars... why did they turn? Aren't they planning to rush out through that gap? Oh God, they never intended to get out at all!"

After shooting down the helicopters, the enemy headed straight for the ammunition depot!

This completely thwarted the patrol team's plan. However... there was no point in them circling around inside. They were heading straight for the ammunition depot... they didn't intend to leave alive, they were going to blow it up!

Run, run quickly! Why are my legs feeling weak?

"Alvin, Alvin, you damned thing, how could you run away ahead of time?"
