When the second-line M4 tanks started their engines, a row of majestic-looking new Airland Hill helicopters passed over the human positions at low altitude.
These armed helicopters are fully loaded with rockets, and the A/A49E-7 rotating turret equipped on the nose is installed with an M197 3-barreled 20mm Gatling cannon produced by Tubao Company. This M197
The Gatling is basically a three-barreled version of the Vulcan cannon, and eventually became the standard turret weapon for this new gunship.
In order to control the recoil and achieve the design goal of rotating fire, the cannon installed on the ah-1 armed helicopter has a lower rate of fire. The theoretical rate of fire is 750 rounds/min, but it can only fire 16 rounds in a row.
750 rounds of ammunition.
When performing battlefield suppression missions, this aircraft can carry four 19-unit 70mm-caliber rocket launch nests installed on the short wings of the fuselage, which can provide very powerful fire suppression.
The ah-1 armed helicopter was born in the 1960s. Ireland's current industrial level can fully process and produce it, and it is equipped with a T400-CP-400 "double engine package" engine produced by Beijun Engine Factory, which is very powerful.
.
The t400-cp-400 engine system basically consists of two Pratt & Whitney PT6 turboshaft engines and a shared gearbox, also known as PT6t-4. The total output power of the "double engine package" is 1140 kilowatts, which is 1530 shaft horsepower. Single
When the engine fails, the "dual engine package" system can also provide enough power to maintain normal flight.
In fact, the "double engine package" can provide a maximum output power of 1340 kilowatts (1800 shaft horsepower), but it was abandoned because the transmission system could not withstand such a large power. As a result, both engines of the t400-cp-400 were limiting power during normal operation.
When running in this mode, when one engine fails, the other engine will automatically output maximum power.
The ah-1 armed helicopter can carry more than 1023 liters of fuel, which can ensure that it can hover over the battlefield for a long time.
Because Airan Hill has strong industrial capabilities, this armed helicopter that has just entered service is also equipped with some electronic equipment. It can be said to be the most advanced and powerful weaponry in the hands of the army.
These armed helicopters passed over the battlefield, and then began to pour out the ammunition they carried. Rockets densely covered the entire battlefield. The slight advantage the devil had just gained was suppressed in an instant.
Armed helicopters hovered in the sky, constantly using their rotating cannons to shoot at the dense enemies. The demonic troops arranged in a square formation braved a hail of bullets and advanced, with bullets hitting the magic defense barrier above their heads.
, leaving vertical and horizontal ripples like raindrops falling into water.
Suddenly, a fireball flew out of the devil's phalanx and directly hit an armed helicopter. The huge flames engulfed the helicopter, causing the helicopter to crash in flames.
Other armed helicopters evaded one after another, no longer simply hovering in mid-air, but began to avoid these deadly threats.
In the chaotic battlefield, an M4 tank ran over the black flames on the ground and poked out its turret from the reverse slope.
"Aim at the target! Find a big one and fire!" Taking his eyes away from the periscope, the salesman pressed the throat intercom and shouted to his gunner.
The gunner didn't even turn around, he pressed the fire button and fired a shell. With a "boom", the whole tank trembled slightly. The recoil of the long-barreled 90 mm caliber gun was very fierce. Of course,
The power is also more powerful.
An armor-piercing projectile was ejected from the muzzle, and then moved forward rapidly in the air. It only took a moment to hit the powerful magic defense barrier in front of the demon army's phalanx.
Because of its extremely fast speed and strong impact, the cannonball penetrated the magic defense barrier, and then hit the heavy shield held by the 3-meter-tall strong demon.
The huge force allowed the cannonball to easily penetrate the shield made of steel, which was more than 2 centimeters thick, leaving behind a sputter-shaped black burn mark and a hole about the size of a fist.
In an instant, the tall demon holding the shield was directly hit in the chest by an armor-piercing bullet, and his whole body was broken into two pieces due to the terrifying tearing force. Black blood spattered everywhere, and pieces of broken flesh flew across the crowd.
Before the surrounding demons had time to see clearly what happened, behind the demon that was beaten into two pieces, the second poor demon had his body shattered by the same armor-piercing bullet before he could even let out a scream.
Followed by the third and fourth soldiers, the thick armor and powerful magic defense did not help them withstand the powerful attack, so they had to pay the price with their lives.
The shells penetrated five people in one go before they were able to stop, and everything they passed along the way was completely destroyed. The remaining demons continued to move forward, not caring about the violent deaths of their comrades in front of them.
They stepped over the corpses of their comrades, holding high their heavy and terrifying weapons, as if they were going to compete with the tanks of Elanthir.
"Armor-piercing bullets! Keep loading!" He shouted to the loader, and the salesman depressedly put his eyes on the periscope again. He wanted to observe the surrounding situation. After all, the field of vision was not very good in this small place.
.
"Fire!" With the command, the M4 tank fired another shell. The shell of this shell was pulled out of the gun and fell to the floor inside the tank with a clanking sound, still steaming.
No one bothered to take a look. The loader stuffed the third armor-piercing bullet into the barrel of the gun in front of him, and then closed the breech. The next second, he completed his action and shouted loudly: "
Loading complete!”
Amid his snoring, the barrel of this powerful 90 mm caliber long-barreled artillery suddenly sat back, and then another steaming shell shell was pulled out and rolled to the floor, along with the steel.
They hit together and made a crisp sound.
The smoking system of the m4 tank is not very easy to use, so at this time, the inside of the tank has begun to smell of sulfur. The life of tank soldiers is not as easy and comfortable as the legend says. After all, their working environment is not as easy as that of submarine troops.
Not much more.
In any case, this is just a tank from the World War II era, and many aspects of the design are indeed unsatisfactory. There is no way, the development of weapons and equipment of the Army is not as good as that of the Air Force, and most of the weapons and equipment are actually made to make do.
Good stage.
With Ireland's current industrial base, it is not difficult to produce a tank such as the Centurion. However, the problem is that the overall performance of this tank is not a significant improvement compared to the M4 tank.
None of these tanks can be equipped with a stable automatic loading machine, nor can they fire while moving. The infrared equipment is also very primitive, and their basic combat indicators have not surpassed the M4 tank on a large scale.
Therefore, although several M60 tanks have been produced and tested at the weapons test base in Ireland, due to time constraints, the M60 tanks are still not equipped with any army units.
The previous top management of Eiland Hill believed that the M4 tank could support the troops in combat until more powerful tanks were put into service. But now it seems that this choice seems a bit too radical.
Fortunately, the crew of the M4 tank can choose whether to die of suffocation or other reasons, so the salesman, the commander of the tank, opened the hatch cover above his head, revealing the blue
Sky.
A stream of cold air with the smell of sea water rushed in, making several people in the tank feel refreshed. This is a real battlefield, a real tank battle: sometimes, everyone would rather enjoy it and die.
, and don’t want to suffer the consequences of being stuck in a can and facing danger.
Because there is no way to fire while moving, all M4s are basically similar to fixed turrets. They expose a turret behind the reverse slope, aim at the demon troops in the distance and fire calmly, covering the retreating soldiers into the second line of defense.
"The enemy is very close! Back up!" He poked his head out and saw a flaming Cobra helicopter crashing in the distance. The salesman and the commander retracted into the turret and ordered his members: "Back up!
Back up!”
The tank's thick tracks crushed into the sand, and the tank's thick body began to retreat. The gunner could no longer see those distant targets due to the obstruction of the reverse slope.
He removed his eyes from his sight, looked at the commander who had just retracted his head, and asked loudly: "Tony! Did you see all the infantry withdrawing?"
"I didn't see it!" Tony, the salesman and driver, replied loudly: "Why don't you go out and take a look?"
Obviously, the gunner had no intention of going out to take a look. He had just seen those demon soldiers of the fierce god Esa. What he wanted to do most now was to retreat to a safe place.
The M4 tank reversed slowly, and Tony no longer knew where he was. He sighed helplessly and shouted to the loader beside him: "If I had known better, I would have asked you to be the tank commander!"
"
He once again leaned out from the opened overhead hatch. This time he looked back in the direction. After seeing that there was no one behind him and that he would not be crushed by the tank, he retracted into the turret: "Continue to reverse.
!No one is behind!"
At this time, a magic cannon shell penetrated the commanding heights of the reverse slope, leaving a long black mark on it, and then bombarded not far from the left side of Tony's tank.
The huge vibration shocked Tony and others. Fortunately, the M4 tank was relatively reliable and was still reversing despite the vibration. On the other side of the huge crater, another M4 tank was also reversing, and there was another M4 tank next to it.
There were Elanshir soldiers running past carrying weapons.
