    "Attention! Our guidance signal was found at 2 o'clock!" On a slow-flying VS-3 two-seat armed helicopter, the back-seat pilot was communicating with the front-seat pilot through the onboard communication system.  "Copy that!" the pilot in the front seat gave the most concise answer.  Under his control, the helicopter turned slightly clockwise, causing the airborne rocket launcher without the ability to adjust horizontal angles to be aimed at the special red flare that continued to bloom in the black smoke.  As the navigator and weapons operator, the backseat pilot uses the infrared sight on the helmet to observe the target situation.  At the current technical level, the helicopter's payload is very limited. It carries two pilots, four rocket launchers, a heavy machine gun, an avionics system, and some ammunition and fuel. It is close to the limit. If you want to mount an active infrared night weapon,  vision system, the existing equipment configuration must be reduced accordingly. In addition, the maximum irradiation distance of the current infrared night vision system is only five to six hundred meters. The military of the new United Kingdom decisively chose to carry out night operations in the form of ground-air cooperation, that is,  Ground forces use special flares and infrared illumination equipment to guide helicopters to attack targets, and helicopter pilots only need to be equipped with simple infrared sights.  ¡°Hold on¡­ hold on¡­ hold on¡­¡± The pilot in the back seat said hold on three times in a row. After adjusting the longitudinal angle of the rocket launcher, he pressed the rocket launch button in a timely manner.  For the sake of body balance, every time the VS-3 two-seat armed helicopter launches rockets, it must fire left and right volleys at the same time. Two rockets are fired at a time. A maximum of two targets can be attacked with rockets in one dispatch. This kind of rocket attack is different from that of the army tank unit.  Universal 120mm heavy rockets are available in four types: high-explosive, armor-piercing, armor-piercing, and incendiary. They can be matched according to the battle situation and can easily take down enemy concrete fortifications, combat vehicles, and non-armored targets.  As soon as the two rockets flew out, the pilot in the front seat gently pulled the joystick to increase the helicopter's flying height from 60 meters above the ground to 150 meters, and then moved sideways to prevent the enemy from following the trajectory of the rockets.  Attack helicopters.  You must know that the limited load of VS-3 is used on the blade. The bulletproof glass in the cockpit can only cope with ordinary bullets, and the engine compartment has no protection measures except a thin armor plate on the front.  As long as a soldier is slightly familiar with the structure of VS-3, even if he is holding a bolt-action rifle, he can shoot it down within the effective range!  After a while, the helicopter entered the hovering state again.  In the field of vision, the battle around the periphery of the fortress area is still fierce. From time to time, rockets with trailing flames can be seen passing by among the ruins, as well as the orange flames emitted by artillery bursts.  The 6 helicopters of the 1st team need to provide fire support to ground troops in three directions. There are only 2 helicopters in each direction. There is no need to worry about repeatedly attacking a target. Most of the Scottish defenders are even unaware of it.  The enemy invested in such a new weapon.  "Look, there is our guidance signal at 11 o'clock!" the pilot in the front seat reminded.  The pilot in the back seat quickly observed with the infrared sight: "It's enemy infantry. They are evacuating. There is no need to waste rockets, just use the machine gun!" After saying that, he adjusted the weapon switch and used the weapon joystick to control the aircraft.  The sling-mounted machine gun under the belly - it is derived from the anti-aircraft machine gun carried by the New United Kingdom Army Tank Unit. It uses a simple and reliable electromechanical transmission system for remote control. At a downward angle, the 12.7 mm caliber can deal with light armored targets and non-armored targets.  The armored target is more than enough. If tungsten core armor-piercing bullets are used to attack the weak parts of the enemy tank, it is entirely possible to damage or even destroy it Without precise aiming, the pilot in the back seat first fired two short shots, and passed  The trajectory of the tracer bullets adjusted the firing angle, and then entered the strafing mode, attacking from a high position the Scottish soldiers who were transferring positions.  In less than half a minute, more than half of the 400 rounds of ammunition had been consumed. The pilot in the back seat stopped shooting and said to his partner: "The Scots have no power to fight back. Maybe they don't even know who is attacking them!"  "This reminds me of the story of European colonists massacring Native Americans in the Age of Discovery." The pilot in the front seat responded while raising the plane again. He looked at the instrument panel in front of him: "We still have 30 minutes of fuel."  " From the airport to the battlefield, it takes at least 20 minutes to fly one way, and pilots usually need to reserve some fuel to deal with various contingencies.  "Got it! Let me see where the last target is" The pilot in the back seat was muttering, and suddenly he saw a string of bullets - or rather, a string of tracer bullets in the bullets, flying up from the ground, from them  The front of his eyes jumped into the night sky.  "It seems we underestimated the intelligence of the Scots!" he shouted, "Climb higher, we are within the enemy's range!" The pilot in the front seat controlled the helicopter to climb up with a serious look on his face, and retreated southward for a while.  distance.  Although he is very skilled in operation, this aircraftThe aircraft's reaction speed is maddeningly slow. For pilots who have flown active fixed-wing fighters, the gap is even more obvious.  "At our 2 o'clock direction, the distance is less than 1,000 meters. It must be a hidden enemy air defense position!" the pilot in the back seat shouted.  ¡°It seems to be a 20 mm caliber machine gun.¡± His partner speculated.  "Yes, it must be a 20mm machine gun. One bullet can send us to see God! However, since they failed to hit us, let me send them to see God!" said the pilot in the back seat, "  Hey, man, I need a forward angle, about 10 degrees is enough!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± the front seat pilot responded, ¡°You only have one chance, you must seize it!¡± The back seat pilot replied confidently!  : "Don't worry, this is a piece of cake for me!" "Here it comes!" As soon as his partner finished speaking, the helicopter changed from horizontal flight to tilting the body forward and flying forward horizontally.  "Three, two, one" The pilot in the back seat counted down to himself, and then there was a flash of flame and two rockets were fired into the air.  The pilot in the front seat adjusted the communication knob and loudly reported: "Black Bat No. 4 is returning!" The helicopter began to turn, and the pilot in the back seat stretched his neck to detect the landing point of the rocket.  "Is it done?" his partner asked.  "I can't be sure!" the backseat pilot replied matter-of-factly. "They were not illuminated by infrared rays by our ground forces. I judged their positions entirely by ballistic trajectories, but you know this is not very reliable!"  "With your level, you will be able to hit the target nine times out of ten. Unfortunately, this hit cannot be confirmed." The pilot in the front seat sighed. They didn't know that although the last two rockets failed to destroy the Scottish army's anti-aircraft guns, they  Scared away a group of anxious Scottish gunners.  On the ground, due to the complexity of the night battle environment, the assault teams affiliated with the 51st Infantry Assault Division either deployed their defenses in place or advanced slowly. It was not until the "Night Devil Commandos" arrived on the battlefield that the situation began to change substantially.  Variety.  As a special operations force directly under the Army Headquarters of the New United Kingdom, the "Night Devil Commando" is an elite combat force comparable to the Royal Guards and the Airborne Special Service Regiment. It is also one of the most technologically advanced forces among the services of the New United Kingdom.  one.  Soldiers are equipped with individual infrared suits - including infrared searchlights, infrared sights and special batteries, coupled with STG-45 assault rifles and M43 rocket launchers. They can defeat ordinary combat troops like a sniper from a long distance or a close encounter.  It is definitely an invincible sharp knife in a night battle environment!  As the "Night Devil Squads" joined the battle group one after another, the assault squads of the 51st Infantry Assault Division quickly adjusted their combat deployments. The infantry followed the elite night fighters and advanced deeply into the enemy's army, using individual weapons to attack enemy targets.  A concentrated fire attack was carried out, and gunshots and explosions suddenly erupted from all over the fortress area There were infantry clearing the way in front. The "Irish Leopard" and various armored personnel carriers did not have to be as cautious and cautious as before. They drove forward with a rumbling roar.  Advance, knock down the remaining walls, crush the roadblocks, occupy a favorable position, and properly consolidate the front.  Not long after, the second batch of armed helicopters arrived at the fortress area.  During daily training, soldiers of the 51st Infantry Assault Division have come into contact with these Blue War Eagles, which are completely different from traditional fixed-wing aircraft. They are familiar with the method of using flares and radios to guide them to attack enemy targets, and they have heard the unique characteristics of their own helicopters circling at low altitudes.  With the roar of the helicopter, they charged forward boldly and confidently. Whenever they encountered a stubborn enemy, the individual rocket launchers were out of reach, and the support tanks had not yet arrived, they would send out a signal to direct the helicopter to attack the target.  The sound of explosions came one after another through the exhaust system into the largest underground defense fortress in the Elsden Fortress area. The top military commander here, General Gordon, the commander of the fortress, looked solemnly at the picture that had been covered by various  The color line symbol "occupies" the combat map.  A captain's staff officer hurried over and was glared at by Gordon. He quickly straightened his collar and saluted: "General, Fort Fletcher has just been lost." "Fort Fletcher has also been lost?  "Gordon couldn't help but frowned. He was very happy for a while when the previous wave of enemy troops took the initiative to evacuate the fortress area, but the speed of the latter wave of enemy counterattack was completely beyond his expectation.  "Yes, General, the officers reported that the enemy has invested in a new type of weapon that has never been seen before. At that time, an aircraft that could fly at a slow speed and fire rockets at low altitudes. Under the guidance of ground troops, they fired each time  The attacks were precise and violent, and the enemy had invested a large number of heavy tanks. Our troops had just regained their position and had not had time to rebuild their fortifications. The situation was very bad!" the staff officer said in one breath.  General Gordon took a deep breathWith a sigh of relief, he ordered: "Send an order for all ministries to withdraw to the underground defenses in an orderly manner. For positions that are voluntarily abandoned, the ammunition that can be carried must be taken away, and mines and traps must be laid to cause maximum casualties to the enemy. This will never be allowed."  Abandon the position without doing anything!" "Yes, General!" After agreeing, the staff officer hesitated and asked: "What should we do with those English prisoners?" Gordon frowned and thought for a while: "After the order just now, I would like to add something.  Instruction: Each department shall make its own decision regarding enemy prisoners!¡±
