Chapter 1410 Air Gunship

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Cobain, how far are we from the US military's strike zone?" Lin Rui led the team members to run for a while and then used the satellite network to contact Cobain.

    "The situation is not good. You are still within the US military's strike zone. You can't run along that road and must leave there." Cobain explained, "Extremist terrorist organizations are using this road to smuggle crude oil in exchange for funds. Just  Last week, the US military destroyed 12 of their tankers. Now air strikes along that road have become almost routine."

    "Damn it." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "But this is the only way for us to quickly escape from the battlefield."

    "Boss!" Sergey yelled, "The air raid is coming, take cover!" Lin Rui and his team members rolled to the sides in desperation, crawling and hiding in the dry ditches on both sides of the road.

    The roar of fighter planes came from the sky, almost like muffled thunder.  Crazy Horse's face changed slightly, "No, this is not a bomber! It's an AC-130 aerial gunship!" Although Crazy Horse is from the Army's special forces, he still knows a lot about fighter aircraft.

    The ac-130 heavy attack aircraft, improved by Lockheed based on the U.S. Air Force C-130 transport aircraft, is known as the "flying gunship".  This kind of attack aircraft first appeared on the Vietnam battlefield. At that time, the US military faced a large number of Vietnamese guerrillas, villages, convoys and other targets that lacked protection but were numerous and scattered. To deal with these targets, guns and artillery of various calibers were most effective, and the use of  The fees are relatively reasonable.

    Therefore, the US military needs an attack aircraft with powerful firepower and long air time.  The U.S. military quickly modified C-47, C-119, C-130 and other transport aircraft, adding search and sighting devices and guns on the doors and sides of the cabin, and adding weapon racks to form "flying gunships."

    It is said to be an old model, but after being re-developed, it is still very powerful.  It is especially capable of lethal strikes against troops that are scattered on the ground and lack air fire protection.  After half a century of service, some characteristics remain irreplaceable.  It is extremely advantageous when used to attack scattered guerrillas and ground targets.

    And the two aircraft now should be the latest version of the ac-130u "Ghost" type operated by Rockwell.  The US military uses it to clear ground targets and attack transport convoys and small training camps. It is just like playing.

    Although the ac-130 looks like a transport aircraft on the outside, it has a murderous intent hidden inside.  Mounted on the side wall behind the cockpit are two 20 mm caliber "Vulcan" rotating bore rapid-fire cannons. This multi-barreled machine gun can pour 7,200 shells at the target per minute.

    In addition to these, it is also equipped with a 40 mm caliber "Bofors" machine gun and a 105 mm caliber howitzer.  The howitzer among them can "vaporize" targets at a distance of 1,200 yards. The huge recoil caused by the gun when it fires can even change the course of the aircraft, so the cabin is also specially equipped with a muzzle brake.

    When the fire control officer shouted "fire", the howitzer braked violently backward on the slide rail, reset with the hydraulic buffer, and then reloaded the shell.  The 105mm shells fired by this artillery gun are loaded with 5 pounds of explosives and can be fired at a target at a speed of 1,548 feet per second, with a fragmentation radius of 1,500 yards.  Therefore, it is extremely deadly to ground infantry. The name Death Angel is not an exaggeration for the AC-130.

    Currently, the United States uses a large number of "air gunships" in military operations in the Middle East.  The AC-130 "air gunship" currently in service with the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command can hover over the target for a long time and launch deadly attacks at any time, with precise firepower and seriously damaging the enemy's supply lines.

    But this is not good news for Lin Rui and others.  What he would rather come is a B2 bomber. In that case, at least they will have large targets for fixed bombing and will not pay attention to ground targets that are too scattered.

    But now that the aerial gunships are coming, the situation is completely different.  This means that the US military will be highly lethal to dispersed targets on the ground.

    Shogishi was very familiar with the configuration of the US military and immediately reacted, "These two aerial gunships are AC-130u, and should belong to the 4th Special Mission Squadron of the 16th Special Mission Group. Damn it, I hope they don't discover us."  "

    "Whether we find it or not, we can't wait to die in the open space. Let's go! Let's continue along the ditch on the roadside. It will be much safer if we run to the mountain col ahead." Lin Rui shouted loudly, "Everyone, run!"

    In fact, the US military on the plane has also discovered them.  Because the reason why the "air gunship" is invincible on the modern battlefield is also due to its electro-optical system, infrared sensor and computer fire control system.  These systems ensure that the "air gunship" can strike targets with extreme precision in dark or low-light conditions.

    The newly modified ac-130u "Ghost" aerial gunship is equipped with an anapq-180 synthetic aperture fire control radar, which is used on F-15e fighter jets and can detect and identify long-range targets.  And can be used in no place? In the case of an observer, adjust fire by looking at its point of impact.  It uses powerful sensors to closely observe ground conditions and uses the missiles it carries to strike any targets that appear to be hostile.

    "The ground target was discovered. It should be an armed team. They are very professional. They are moving towards the hills ahead along the terrain cover." The infrared reconnaissance equipment operator reported immediately.

    "Identify their identities and see who they are? They don't look like extremists." The fire control officer on board said solemnly.

    With the assistance of infrared reconnaissance equipment, the observer frowned and said, "They are wearing camouflage combat uniforms. They look like our people?"

    "Ask the headquarters if there are other friendly forces operating nearby."

    "Understood." The air gunboat lowered its height and could not hover in this area.

    "Oops, they found us!" Lin Rui's face changed slightly, and he turned around and said, "Speed ??up, they need to ask for instructions before they can attack."

    The members of the O2 team moved quickly along the ditch beside the road, which made the scouts on the gunboat a little confused. "They are moving too fast. It is expected that they will hide in the mountain col in five minutes."

    "We only have a few seconds to kill them!" the US gunner on the plane said coldly.

    "Headquarters responded, there are no friendly forces activities around." Another US military officer in charge of communications said loudly.

    "So they are the enemy, prepare to fight!" the captain shouted.

    A 25mm gau-12 cannon on the air gunship began to rotate driven by a 15-horsepower electric motor, and the 25mm caliber five-barrel Gatling cannon began to spit tongues of fire downwards.  The terrifying caliber and rate of fire of 3,600 rounds per minute are a nightmare for all ground targets.
