Men's Kapishi

The flight control problem cannot be solved for the time being. The aviation department, Ranger and the engineers transferred from Dr. Lawrence's team have thought of another way - that is, not to use the flight control, but only equipped with a simple flight assistance stabilization system.

The pirated NATO helicopters currently used by the cross-travelers are too delicate for Terra’s environment, and the maintenance costs are quite high. If it is used as a foreign trade product, not many buyers can afford it.

Therefore, in addition to the UH-60 "Black Hawk" and AH-64 "Apache", the Ranger and general-purpose helicopter R&D teams also pirated the Soviet helicopter Mi-8 "Hippo" transport helicopter and the Mi-24 "Hind". Armed helicopters are used for export.

Completely abandoning the fly-by-wire flight control and advanced on-board electronic equipment, in front of the pilot is a very Soviet-style "clock shop" - densely packed circular semi-mechanical instruments.

As a foreign trade version of the helicopter, the flight control is gone, and naturally there are no advanced weapons. The most advanced weapon is probably a wire-controlled anti-tank missile with a flight distance of 5 kilometers. The basic version of the fire control system allows the shooter to You can't see a target five kilometers away, either because you are a talented shooter, or you spend money to buy upgrade kits and maintenance services.

These two helicopters are very strong and durable, and easy to maintain. They are completely flying tractors, and even a large number of parts can be produced by themselves with Terra's technical level.

The current version is still using a pure electric power system based on Karak technology, but it also reserves a position for a turboshaft engine. Future foreign trade versions may use a turboshaft power pack powered by liquid source stone fuel.

It’s just that the pilot’s burden is relatively heavy. As an alternative solution to the flight control problem, some army aviation pilots have experienced a pirated Soviet helicopter. If they are pilots who have never flown the Black Hawk and Apache, the reaction is normal. , but as long as they fly the first two helicopters, they are not sensitive to foreign trade goods.

In addition to the advantages of reliability and durability of the Soviet helicopters being learned by Karak Heavy Industries, the poor ergonomics has also been overcome. When the mechanical rotation and passive stabilization are turned on, good guy, what a fight with the flight controller, it is a pirated version. The Soviet helicopter is to exercise and move bricks in the sky.

Even for the selected army aviation pilots, it is not difficult, but who doesn't like to sit in the intelligent cockpit and blow on the air conditioner?

Considering combat effectiveness and facing the hidden dangers of flight control, Karak Heavy Industries still chose to put the "Apache" armed helicopter, the work result of the aviation department, into the Sami front line to alleviate the urgent need.

Chapter 207 Chapter 28 Into the Shape of a Soviet.JPG

Even if there are some safety hazards in the general-purpose helicopters currently in use, Karak Heavy Industries is unwilling to give up this convenient and cheap general-purpose aircraft. Counting pre-flight maintenance and supplies, isn’t it good for a ranger that can maneuver [-] kilometers during the day?Fragrant crazy all right.

It is estimated that Karak Heavy Industries can use helicopters as tractors in all Terra. After all, for Karak technology that uses CU and RU that are close to the basic substrate as industrial raw materials, the factor that determines the main industrial cost is quality.

Compared with those land-ships and chariots that run on the ground, the light helicopters are so cheap that they explode, and even the RU material consumption necessary for aircraft in the Karak technology tree is pitifully small.

As a result, maintenance is extremely simple. Where a fault code is reported or the hours of overhaul are approaching, replace it with a new one. The replaced parts or even the whole machine will not be wasted at all. Samuta’s resource collection and recycling technology can almost achieve 100% recycling.

In view of the strategic deterrence capabilities of Karak Heavy Industries, Ursus maintained great restraint before figuring out what weapon destroyed the Nicholas the Great's mobile fortress in one blow. An unimaginable thing.

In particular, everyone knows that Karak Heavy Industries is supporting the resistance activities of the Sami guerrillas, including weapons and personnel training, and even direct armed intervention.However, Karak Heavy Industries did not cross the bottom line of Ursus - the expedition fleet honestly wandered outside the battlefield, without any superfluous actions on the surface.

However, the intelligence support and supplies for the Sami guerrillas have never been cut off. After the general-purpose helicopters of Karak Heavy Industries were deployed on the front line, the Sami guerrillas bloomed everywhere in Sami. , The astonishingly powerful roadside bombs made the Ursus second-line troops in charge of security warfare miserable.

These mobility and logistical transportation mainly rely on the auxiliary forces of camels, and are often played around by Sami guerrillas who have drones to provide intelligence support and command support.The Ursas auxiliary troops with outdated equipment, less than [-]% power armor, and scarcity of warlocks and other technical arms cannot compare with the fleet infantry armed to the teeth. Facing the Sami guerrillas who have entered the era of hot weapons, they can only Get spanked.

Not to mention that the cannon fodder used to fill the battlefield did not understand what security warfare is, and it was not like the Fifth Army, which understood the combat power of hot weapons after repeated bloody seesaws in the Till Corridor, was caught off guard when it first fought with the Sami Travels Under the amazing exchange ratio.

Even in some ambush battles, because of the division of troops, the Sami guerrillas with far fewer people than them fought exaggerated annihilation battles.

If it weren't for the lack of anti-ship weapons for the Sami guerrillas, the Ursas would probably have no way to maintain their occupation in Sami.Even so, roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices took a toll on Ursus ships and gunboats that were difficult to maneuver in support of auxiliary forces in difficult terrain.

Although capital ships have not yet been destroyed or damaged, auxiliary and functional land ships have suffered losses.

In order to avoid greater losses, the fleet and the Ursas auxiliary force could only huddle near the stronghold or the mobile city, sending troops intermittently to drive away the surrounding Sami guerrillas.

It was only then that the situation in Sami was barely controlled and the nominal military occupation was maintained. In fact, Ursus had lost control of the large swathes of countryside and land outside the Sami mobile city.

This caused the main fleet, which was planning to retreat as planned after occupying the entire territory of Sami, to be dragged in Sami and unable to move.If the fleet retreats, Ursas' auxiliary forces and the forced Sami security forces may collapse at a touch, and the Sami situation will be out of control.

This is completely unacceptable to the Ursus Empire.

In order to reverse this situation, Ursas turned to Raytheon Industries, hoping that this top military enterprise in Terra would contain the Sami guerrillas.Cutting-edge technology from Raytheon Industries is expensive, but it works.

Some Sami guerrillas who were only equipped with individual light weapons began to be unable to cope with the war machines of Raytheon Industries, and suffered serious casualties.If it is just the Sami guerrillas, with the investment of Ursus and the entry of more Raytheon equipment and mercenaries, the life of the Sami guerrillas may not be too easy.

But the problem is that behind the Sami guerrillas is Karak Heavy Industries.

In addition to using the foreign exchange and precious metals accumulated before the war to purchase weapons and military services from Karak Heavy Industries, the Sami guerrillas would also send some workers and even soldiers to Karak Heavy Industries.

And the people who travel through are also very clear that as a rootless duckweed, it is very difficult to make a legal claim in Terra and find a base area with superior geographical conditions to seek development.

Instead of building a beautiful new Terra one brick at a time, it is better to directly occupy Nestlé, use the name of industrial and commercial entities to operate in various countries, provide support and theoretical guidance for local progressive revolutionary forces in the increasingly prominent class conflicts, and launch a revolution , to overthrow Old Terra.

At that time, technology will be used to open the door to the country, and then the countries of Thailand will crazily export revolutions. Once a single spark is ignited, it will inevitably become a prairie fire.As the godfather of the revolution, Karak Heavy Industries will inevitably gain a transcendent international status. Waiting for the opportunity to raise their arms, the oppressed of all Terra will unite, and a red behemoth will surely cover the entire Terra.

Of course, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.Without a strong and stable base and the military strength to blow up Terra, Red Terra is completely fantasy.

But this does not prevent the cross-travelers from conducting experiments in Sami - supporting a pro-Karak revolutionary force, and gradually transforming Sami into their own shape, even if Sami will not be at the mercy of Karak Heavy Industries in the future as an independent sovereign country, But being able to be a revolutionary mentor of a sovereign country is quite enough for a company or an international organization.

If he can become the revolutionary mentor of all Terra, the crazy personality cult will probably make the natives of Terra worship the crossing people as gods.

Therefore, the cross-travelers will not regard the Sami guerrillas as a military failure. Although they will not directly attack the Ursas army, they will not be soft on Raytheon Industries, a powerful competitor in the arms market, who has repeatedly attacked the black hand.

And the Sami guerrillas have also learned to shake people if they can't beat them. As long as the opponent is Raytheon Industries, the ranger troops directly under Karak Heavy Industries are almost there at any time-Sami is not a big one at all, and they are carried by tactical transport helicopters. Ranger squads and experienced Marines deployed in three hours.

Today, a Raytheon Industrial heavy equipment convoy that drove into Sami was targeted by the Sami guerrillas. In order to ensure a one-hit kill, Karak Heavy Industries sent an entire squadron of "Apache" gunships that had just been deployed to the front line. Join this raid.

Chapter 208 Chapter 29 Landing Field

In December, Sami is in the midst of severe winter. The successive heavy snowfalls and sudden drop in temperature have turned Sami into a snow country covered in ice for thousands of miles.Crossing the mountain pass and entering the bottom of the valley, the low-flying helicopter skimmed over the treetops, and the strong airflow shook the large coniferous forest under the fuselage, shaking off the large canopy of silvery snow.

The scattered and granular floating snow was rolled up into the air, rolling and forming two vortices, making the air flow visible to the naked eye.Not long after the leader's lead plane turned into the valley, a huge group of planes lined up in double rows and staggered columns roared in one after another.

In order to avoid the air reconnaissance and early warning methods that Raytheon Industries may have, after approaching the mission area, the entire fleet descended to the height of the treetops and began to pass through the mountains. A pretty big challenge.

Biting cold wind poured in from the open hatch and the shooting port with the machine gun hanging on it, but the forest guard sat firmly on the edge of the hatch, flipping through the mission information in the personal terminal.

Instead of sticking to his own dressing style, the ranger and other team members put on the distributed winter camouflage and a full set of cold-proof equipment, which not only has excellent thermal performance, but also has a very lightweight personal environmental control system to provide extra temperature.

In terms of camouflage performance, in addition to being close to the combat environment and destroying the visual outline of the human body, the winter combat uniform also has a very good infrared shielding ability, which minimizes the possibility of soldiers being discovered by thermal imaging and other optical detection equipment at a long distance.

With such excellent equipment and already accustomed to the severe winter, the Sami fighters belonging to the forest ranger team in the cabin are not affected by the cold at all, but for many marines who came from the Sargon Desert and came to accumulate combat experience , Even with such excellent cold-proof equipment, it is inevitable to shrink a little.

After flying at an ultra-low altitude for more than ten minutes, the aircraft group approached the landing site prepared by the local guerrillas for the Karak Heavy Industry Rangers.The joint command system distributed the countdown to the landing to the rangers carried by the helicopter, and the ranger immediately issued an order, and everyone began the final equipment inspection.

Colejon tightened his worn-out overcoat, lowered his head to confirm the fuming cans in his arms, and walked hard in the snow that nearly reached his knees. As a member of the Sami guerrillas, his task The smoke signal was used to indicate the landing field for the incoming fleet of tactical transport helicopters.

It is not very easy to find a landing field in the mountains that can accommodate more than a dozen helicopters. Fortunately, Old Xiao En was a local hunter, and he finally found an open place—a place that was almost completely frozen. lakes.

The lake is frozen solid enough, and it is difficult to have too thick snow on the smooth ice.

Koljon finally got close to a position with a wide view on the edge of the lake. If you pull out the smoke pot here, the green smoke can be easily spotted from the sky.

Rubbing his frozen and somewhat stiff palms, Colejon stuck the sks semi-automatic rifle he was carrying on the ground, looking forward to the direction where the group of helicopters would appear.It's always nice to have the support of Karak Heavy Industries in this damn weather.

In addition to focusing on missions, these helicopters from afar often carry some unplanned supplies to support the local Sami guerrillas who assist in operations.

The guerrilla activity area where Coljon is located is close to the Ursas and Sami borders, and he has dealt with the "Rangers" more than once. Thinking of the self-heating cans brought by the helicopter last time, Coljon said again Saliva gushes out unconsciously.

The guerrillas who were fighting on the inside did not face any embarrassing situation of running out of ammunition and food, but the supplies that could be collected were by no means sufficient.

The big cities and only a few industrial facilities are under the firm control of the Ursas fleet, and the level of supplies that the Sami guerrillas can get is naturally plummeting compared with peacetime.

Korjon is not a local, but a small businessman who could live in the mobile city before the war and earn a middle-class life. His family has run a small workshop for generations to produce some rough stone tools.

Originally, Ursus's attack was far away from Korjon. The disparity in military strength made it easy for most Sami people to accept the result of defeat. The argument that Mi Bibai and those who know current affairs are heroes.

Colejon also agrees with these views. The construction of the mobile city is not easy, and a slight misfire will be a big loss. If it affects his own workshop, it will really be a disaster.Even Korjon took the initiative to participate in the entry ceremony of the Ursus army, and donated a lot of money to serve the army.

Until one morning, Baron Maxim, who had been at loggerheads with him, knocked on the door of his home with a group of Ursus soldiers.

Every time he thinks of this, Colejon will clench his fists. There is no need to describe the tragedy that happened afterwards. Only Colejon is left alive in the whole family and was sent to a concentration camp outside the city, and was sent back to Usa as a slave laborer. s.

Maybe he deserved his life, but when he was about to enter the territory of Ursus, the Ursas army escorting Coljon was ambushed by the guerrillas, and Kerjon, who had recovered his life, simply joined the guerrillas directly.

Colejon thought that it would be difficult for him to fight the Ursus head-on on the battlefield without any powerful Originium skills or military training, but he did not expect that a slightly worn rifle was issued to him. A chance for revenge on the Ursus.

The life of the guerrillas was still too difficult compared to the life that was still relatively ample before. Colejon could only grit his teeth and condense all his resentment on the bullets. Every time he shot at the Ursus, he would yell.

Until in a joint combat operation, Korjon, who was tired and hungry sitting in the ice and snow, was assigned a can of self-heating cans with the logo of Karak Heavy Industries.It's so delicious!

Gently press the heating button, and the contents of the can will be heated to boiling hot within 1 minute. The fat meat called braised pork melts in the mouth. It is fat but not greasy, sweet and delicious. There is nothing more blissful than swallowing fat that can replenish calories.

In addition to the regular supplies, Karak Heavy Industries will also stuff some red booklets inside the packing box, explaining some great truths.

At first, Colejon sneered at these pamphlets, thinking they were for those bumpkins who didn’t go to school to gain knowledge. It wasn’t until he was so bored that he opened the booklets to relieve boredom, and he realized that the pamphlets in his hand were as hot as a furnace. .

Looking at the unheard-of and shocking words and phrases in it, Colejon felt as if he was struck by lightning—this is not at all the Karak Heavy Industries brochure for the enlightenment of those bumpkins or what he thought.

Hearing the familiar noise of rotors whipping the air in the distance, Colejon touched the booklet hidden in his chest, and when he saw the helicopter, he yanked the ring of the cigarette can, and then looked towards the lake not far away. Throw away.

The metal smoke pot bounced a few times on the ground, then rolled out for a certain distance, and finally stopped. A few seconds later, a green column of smoke rose into the air.

Chapter 209 Chapter 30 Encounter

"Spring 1-1 called the front joint command center, found the smoke indication, visually inspected the landing field, prepared to land, over"

"Command center received, Spring 1-1, pay attention to safety."

The voice of the liaison officer with two plus signs in the sugar content came from the headset. The first batch of fast-track army aviation pilots from Karak Heavy Industries circled the landing field several times to confirm safety, and then began to enter the landing process.

Slow down, lower the altitude, and then hold the stick backwards, while reducing the main rotor collective pitch, so that the helicopter can control the altitude change as much as possible when increasing the elevation angle and decelerating. The compiled flight manual requires the pilot to disconnect the autopilot when landing, so as to Prevent unexpected man-machine confrontation from causing accidents.

Helicopter landing is not an easy task, especially during vertical landing, if the vertical descent speed is slightly faster, there is a risk of entering the vortex ring, and the main rotor will lose most of its lift in a short time.Once the helicopter enters the vortex ring during vertical landing, it is basically impossible to save the gods, and it will hit the ground in all likelihood.

Therefore, the standard landing process of the Karak Heavy Industries Army Aviation fleet is to get off the altitude first, and then find a way to slow down.However, Karak Heavy Industries has always insisted on the principle that the plane falls at will and people are fine in the pilot training, and the training intensity is very high.

During the intensive training period, the pilots fly for more than 8 hours every day. According to the NATO training standard, 120 flight hours per year can enable the pilots to master their fighters better, but in Karak Heavy Industries, half a month can exceed the quota. Complete training missions.

It is not the accumulated flight hours of the pilots that cause headaches, but the learning of cultural lessons. They don’t talk about ground effect, lateral flow effect, and effective transition lift. They just want the recruited pilots to read the 980-page flight manual. It's enough for the aviation department to drink a pot of land.

In the end, there was really no choice but to keep everything simple. The manual was simplified to less than 100 pages. After passing the test, I went to the simulator, and after I was familiar with the flight, I went to the real machine. In short, first solve the problem, and then solve the safety problem.

Of course, this kind of extensive teaching has hidden dangers. The first batch of pilot students with less than 50 students dropped nearly ten planes. If it is not for their outstanding crash resistance, many of them may not be able to survive to graduate.

The crash course does not mean that the ability of the pilot is poor. The pilots selected by the traveler adhere to strict entry and strict exit, and the graduation assessment standard is very strict. Only after 240 hours of safe flight and completing a variety of test subjects can they be released from the crash course to fly.

Of course, the treatment of pilots is needless to say, and it is enough to be envied by others, but the aviation department, as the son of the fleet, has attracted much attention, especially the mental state and ideological awareness of pilots have been repeatedly mentioned by the rotating board of directors. If the pilot defected, the loss But it's big.

Therefore, in addition to strict political review, the pilot team of Karak Heavy Industries is also the first team equipped with official political cadres. They always remind the pilots that a good life is hard-won, and they must fight to the end with the evil forces all over Terra.

The huge aircraft group began to slow down, and then landed steadily on the crystal clear lake. The snow on the ice was blown by the violent airflow from the main rotor, forming a small blizzard.

The fuselage paused, and the ranger sitting on the edge of the hatch released the safety rope buckle hanging on his waist with a click, jumped off the plane and walked towards Korjon not far away. Before landing, the ranger saw clearly To the guerrillas jumping and jumping on the ground, waving their arms.

Pushing the windshield on his face to the helmet, the young face of the Forester surprised Korjon who was standing opposite him.

"Nice to meet you, comrade of the guerrillas." The forest guard saluted, lowered his arms and continued, "I am the commander of Karak Heavy Industry's forest guard squad, and you can call me the forest guard."

"Hi, hello! Nice to meet you. I am a formal member of the Suomi Special Operations Team. My name is Colejon."

Coljon was a little excited when he heard the Ranger self-reported his identity. He thought that the Ranger was quite famous among the guerrillas. It also completely shattered the offensive plan of the entire east road of the Ursas Empire.

In addition, in the subsequent support operations against the Sami guerrillas, the forest guard team is also known for its strong combat effectiveness, strict discipline, quick action, and rich combat experience. It is much stronger than ordinary Karak soldiers, and it is almost an idol-like existence. .

It's not that Colejon doesn't like those marines sent to the front to gain combat experience, whether it's equipment, training, or even combat will, the Karak marines are much better than the guerrillas they belong to.

It’s just that you can’t compare things with others, and you can’t compare people with people. The Karak marines who left the powerful armored vehicles and the rangers who are proficient in special operations in cold areas can only bow down. This is why the marines were thrown to the front line. One of the reasons why the ranger brings experience.

Not all conflicts are suitable for tanks and heavy artillery, and the Marine Corps must enhance its ability to conduct diverse military operations.

"Don't be nervous, Comrade Colejon, where is your companion?" The forest guard looked back at the landing field. Some soldiers had already established a security zone, and the rest were carrying the safe deposit box for general supplies brought by the team. It mainly contains food, ammunition and medical supplies to support the guerrillas.

The helicopters will not stay here for too long, and will leave after loading and unloading. Only the gunship squadron will stay, and cooperate with the rangers to launch an attack on Raytheon Industries' mercenaries.

"Because someone was injured, everyone is in a nearby camp, and I'm the only one who comes to pick you up."

"Could you elaborate on what happened during the morning's battle?" asked the forest guard.

"Yes." Colejon nodded vigorously, the encounter in the morning was still fresh in his memory.

"Oni was the first to discover the enemy. We originally wanted to plant landmines near the Ursas stronghold and roads near the border. Unexpectedly, several large vehicles that we had never seen before suddenly appeared. They did not look like the Ursas army." Cole Jon paused, collecting his thoughts.

"Is that so?" The forest guard opened the photo provided by the drone in the personal tactical terminal and showed it to Colejon.

"That's right! That's right! There are three pairs of big wheels!" Colejon nodded fiercely, "They spotted us very early, and they shot without hesitation! And they shot very accurately!"

"The weapons on the car are not crossbows, but the cannons that are only found on battleships! Even though they are much smaller, they caught us off guard. There were explosions and flames everywhere." Colejon lives in the mobile city, I have had the opportunity to see land-ships up close, and I know that powerful weapons such as artillery are generally not mounted on vehicles.

"Did you fight back?" the forest guard continued to ask.

"Of course!"

"But ordinary bullets are useless. Fortunately, we have a few RPGs in our hands, so we just hit them!"

"A total of three shots were hit, and one shot by Oni was bounced off. I saw the rocket hit the face of that strange car, and then bounced off into the sky. Old Pete was also hit, but was shot by the car body. Something like an iron fence around it got stuck, so it didn’t blow up.”

"Landsky successfully hit the first car. After the explosion, I could see a hole in the car. There was a lot of smoke coming out. It should be on fire."

"Confirm the destruction?"

"No, we took advantage of the chaos and retreated as soon as possible. A total of 7 people in the team were killed and more than a dozen were injured." Colejon said that he was a little depressed here, "but I looked back before I left, and the fire is very likely. was extinguished."

"My condolences, sacrifice is always inevitable." The forest guard comforted Colejon a little, and began to frown as he looked at the mission information, and things began to become a little tricky.

After listening to Colejon's description, the forest guard realized that the target this time may have a high degree of overlap with the "infantry fighting vehicle" provided for reference in the mission. It is equipped with small-caliber artillery, flexible, armored, and even The grid armor set for RPG was also plugged in, and things became a little troublesome.

Fortunately, the main force of this mission is not the airborne infantry, but the six stocky Apaches that are being repaired on the lake.After a three-hour flight, the plane was in good condition, but the pilot needed to rest.
