Chapter three hundred and seventy-four - surprise attack
"We have to get out of here quickly," Hoshino Kaede said after putting away his cell phone. "If we delay it any longer, it will really cause trouble to the aircraft on the opposite side."
"I know," Gin put away his sniper rifle. "Direction 130, maintain altitude and prepare to evacuate."
"Copy that." The pilot adjusted the direction of the helicopter. "Get ready to withdraw—"
But at this moment, his words were interrupted.
"Bang!" The sound of the bullet being bounced off after hitting the steel plate suppressed the sound of the helicopter's propeller. Even the crew members who wore sound-isolating headphones heard a very clear collision sound, although it was not strong.
"What's going on?" Gin frowned, and an urging instruction was immediately transmitted through the headset into the driver's sound-isolating headphones. "Increase the height and get out of here quickly."
"Understood." The pilot turned the engine power to the upper limit of the available range, and then further adjusted the flight attitude to ensure that the helicopter could accelerate away from the enemy in the 290 direction at the fastest acceleration while maintaining altitude.
Then, gunfire rang out again. But unlike the previous shooting, this time there were actually six consecutive shots.
"Huh?" Gin frowned slightly. "This is..."
Saying this, Gin came to the porthole of the helicopter and looked at the place where irish died just now.
The sound of gunfire that can penetrate the sound-isolating headphones must be a large-caliber gun, and a semi-automatic sniper rifle cannot achieve such terrifying continuous shooting.
Fortunately, Gin knew that there should be a gun that could do this nearby - before Irish went out to perform the mission, he received a replica of the latest Desert Eagle 12.7mm pistol from the organization's arsenal. Now.
Their helicopter should be only sixty or seventy meters away from Tokyo Tower, well within the range that the Desert Eagle can easily hit.
Wherever he could see, a relatively small figure seemed to be appearing on the stairs - considering that irish had no head, this figure was definitely not him.
Judging from the size of the figure, the opponent should be in a crouching position... He probably snatched the Desert Eagle from Irish and is now reloading it, right?
"There is another person near Irish," Gin said coldly. "Continue to increase the altitude and use the thicker bottom armor to aim in the direction of 290."
This armed helicopter is an imitation of the ah-64 armed helicopter, commonly known as the Apache. Compared with the two-seater version of the original Apache, this modified version is somewhat inferior in maneuverability
, the air combat radar was also completely cut off due to technical reasons, but the firepower was 100% inherited. The ground-clearing ability when used for security tasks such as ground attacks is also better than the original because the cabin can accommodate more crew members.
The Apache is much better. More importantly, the quality of the armor is not inferior to the original - however, the design features are all included, which means that the defensive features are almost identical, although all parts can withstand 12.7mm
The design of armor-piercing bullets, but according to the oral experience of previous veteran pilots, the plastic steel honeycomb structure at the rear of the aircraft may have better bulletproof capabilities. (In fact, it may also be because when only the bottom is aimed at the enemy, it is usually accelerating to escape.
Or slow down and approach. This posture itself will reduce the relative speed of the bullet and the helicopter, and also reduce the armor-piercing ability.)
Theoretically, at this time, it was basically possible to kill the guy directly by using a machine gun to sweep the Tokyo Tower, but they ran out of time.
Regardless of whether the sniper over there is the police or Akai Shuichi who has just entered Japan, being there means that they have known that something will happen here a long time ago and have carried out advance control. Now they are not being targeted by the aircraft on the opposite side.
It's a blessing to be here, but staying here for one more second would be a huge risk.
At this moment, there was another sound of bullets hitting armor that had appeared before.
"Can it still hit?" Gin frowned and took out a piece of lens clamped by a cane-shaped tool from the box next to it, then opened the helicopter's port window and stretched out the lens through this tool - Irish was exploded just now
The position of the head determines that the designer can only shoot on some relatively tall buildings, and the specific shooting position can only be in a very narrow sector.
However, those places may be able to hit the place where irish is. After all, as long as the gun is better, it is not difficult to shoot a headshot from a distance of 700 to 800 meters.
But now the plane is at least 900 meters away from there, right? Especially now that they are still shooting a moving target like the helicopter they are on, this is even more difficult...
Of course, this does not mean that Shuichi Akai cannot hit a helicopter at a distance of 900 meters - Gin believes that he can hit such a big guy even at a distance of more than 2,000 meters, but at such a distance, the kinetic energy of the bullet has already
Serious consumption, even Barrett cannot penetrate the Apache's armor at this distance. (The design indicator of the Apache is that the entire fuselage is resistant to 12.7mm ammunition and a small amount of 23mm ammunition. Even if Barrett is loaded
Armor-piercing bullets are not enough either.)
Moreover, Shuichi Akai should not be stupid enough to use such a rough-style gun mainly used as an anti-material gun for sniping, right? Even with a dedicated sniper bullet, the accuracy is more than 1moa, and he wants to get a headshot at a distance of 800 meters.
It's quite difficult for irish. In fact, according to gin's understanding of Akai Shuichi, he is a complete precisionist, and anti-material guns have never been his cup of tea.
So, he must be using an ordinary sniper rifle, but what is the use of this sniper rifle? After all, even the propeller of the Apache can withstand a small amount of direct bombardment from 23mm high-explosive shells.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
In front of Gin and Hoshino Kaede, who were a little nervous but didn't realize how close the danger was to them, the transparent glass in front of Apache suddenly appeared with countless patterns in an instant, and then shattered.
The bullets like splashing water penetrated the glass that could protect against 12.7mm bullets, and then smashed the driver's body to pieces.
At the same time as Gin and the others reacted, clear scratches appeared on the glass above their heads. (The shooting angle is a problem. The driver's seat glass is shot directly, while the glass on Gin and the others' heads is at an angle to the incident angle of the bullet, so
was bounced off)
Just in front of them, in the clouds, a fire was burning.
…
At that location, a md600n helicopter painted in gray was hovering in the clouds - in such a place where the clouds are quite thick and the altitude is very low, such a painting can be perfectly hidden in the clouds.
Of course, in addition to this, there is another reason for choosing this newly installed md600n helicopter - due to its light weight, good aerodynamic structure and other reasons, the propeller speed required by this aircraft is relatively low, and the friction generated by cutting air
The noise is also smaller. It is for this reason that Gin and others who are in the process of Apache modification cannot hear the sound of md600n at all under the background propeller sound of Apache.
At this time, the portholes of the md600n were wide open, and a Browning heavy machine gun had been hung on the roof of the shooter's position in advance, and the shooter sitting in the back seat was controlling the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, pointing at
