Volume 12 Cold War Iron Curtain Volume 49 Chapter 2

.

At the beginning of World War II, France used its creative helicopters to severely damage Germany's tank clusters. The Battle of the Somme was a representative war in which armed helicopters played a prominent role. In this war, whether it was raiding in covertly before the air strike, or destroying German ground radar stations to open up security corridors for air strike forces; or during the ground war, the group attacked and launched a devastating blow to German armored forces, armed helicopters played an important role.

During the Somme War, a French armed helicopter even created an impressive record of dispatching a single aircraft to destroy 23 German tanks! Through this war, the armed helicopter's ground attack firepower, extremely low combat damage rate and excellent combat performance left a deep impression on the world. Since then, countries have accelerated the research and development, modification and assembly of armed helicopters to form combat effectiveness.

Compared with the Somme War, the performance of armed helicopters in the late World War II was surprising. Among them, the most typical defeat also occurred in Germany.

At the end of World War II, due to Russia's defeat and withdrawal, France's situation became increasingly difficult. In order to open up the situation, General Betan, commander-in-chief of the ground forces of the French Central Command, ordered 32 armed helicopters of the 11th Aviation Regiment of the French Army, using the night cover, to launch an in-depth attack on a German armored brigade in Munich.

The armored cluster stationed here is the elite of the German army's ground combat forces, equipped with relatively advanced Russian-made T-72 battle tanks, a considerable number of armored vehicles and large-caliber artillery. The French army has always regarded it as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. It is eager to get rid of it quickly. However, the French army was unexpected that the fleet was closely ambushed by the German side on the way, lacking heavy weapons, and the simple-equipped German side adopted the tactic of dispersed deployment and gathering fire shooting, and only various light weapons with low technical content gave the French army a heavy blow. Among all the 32 helicopters of the French army, one was shot down on the spot, and the rest were all hung up. Most of the helicopters that fled back to the base in a panic had to be grounded for several weeks due to serious damage.

During the war that followed and during the days after the war was announced, various French armed helicopters were shot down to the ground. Even the "Seedang" armed helicopters, which are known as the most advanced in the world today, have the strongest combat effectiveness and survival ability, cannot avoid the fate of being shot down many times.

In addition to the significant increase in the war loss rate compared with the Somme War, in terms of the achievements made by armed helicopters, the German Lark War is far from comparable to the Somme War. The crosser, Zhao Gang naturally knew the power of the helicopters and was also very familiar with weapons to restrain helicopters. He produced Chinese-specific weapons soon after.

At present, the main infantry air defense weapons in countries around the world include shoulder-fired air defense missiles, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Although shoulder-fired air defense missiles are relatively expensive, they are expensive, with insufficient fire density and limited equipment. Small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are too heavy, often more than one ton. They are only suitable for equipping mechanized troops. Traditional 12. General Helicopters and light armored targets are not capable of.

The 19mm anti-aircraft machine gun just fills the gap between them. Since the old anti-aircraft machine guns are very large in weight, they are no less eye-catching in the air defense weapon family. Therefore, the military scientific research department recently developed the Q02 19mm anti-aircraft machine gun. It successfully solved the problem of contradictory power and maneuverability, making the Chinese military's technology to fight against helicopters at the forefront of the world.

In terms of combat and use of armed helicopters, the Chinese have always been ahead. They have the most powerful and largest armed helicopter troops in the world. They have formulated a systematic armed helicopter combat theory, which gives the world the feeling that the Chinese have always led the trend of the development of armed helicopter combat theory in the world today.

However, it can be foreseen that in the future, more and more targeted anti-armed helicopter tactics will continue to appear, which is a troublesome for the Chinese. They have to summarize and study it in a timely manner to find a response method and formulate new tactics, but this will take time; however, this does not mean that China has not studied the anti-helicopter tactics. On the contrary, China's investment in anti-helicopters is the largest in the world.

At present, armed helicopters in countries around the world are generally equipped with protective armor plates to enhance their resistance to ground fire strikes. In response to this situation, the newly installed Type 02 19mm high-speed 19mm uses the newly developed 19-meter high-fired machine gun type to tear the enemy apart

The protective armor plate of the picket, destroying the combat destination of enemy armed helicopters

The new types of bombs include the 19mm Type 02 armor-piercing blasting inflame bomb and core-de-shelled armor-piercing tracer. The Type 02 explosion-piercing blast has three functions: armor-piercing, blasting and combustion. After blasting, it can produce more than 20 effective fragments, and the fragments can penetrate 1.mm thick soft steel plates, which are ideal types of bombs to deal with helicopters and light armor targets. The Type 02 tungsten core armor-piercing burning tracer uses leading shelling technology and high-density tungsten alloys, with an initial velocity of up to 1450 meters. It can penetrate 20mm thick homogeneous alloy steel plates at a 50-degree angle at 1000 meters. It is the same level as the Western 20mm tungsten core armor-piercing bombs or cemented carbide bombs, and has the ability to break through infantry fighting vehicles and armed helicopters to protect armor.

Although the caliber of the Type 02 19mm anti-aircraft machine gun is only nearly three times more powerful than the injury, it is an ideal infantry air defense weapon. The Q02 anti-aircraft machine gun not only greatly improves the power of the 19mm machine gun and reaches the 20mm level abroad, but also has good maneuverability. It is a very effective and practical infantry air defense weapon. It uses a large number of aluminum alloys and alloy materials, with a total weight of only 173 kilograms, which is 67 kilograms lighter than the Type 7 anti-aircraft machine gun of the same caliber and 12.kgs higher than Russia.

The entire gun can be broken down into seven parts, with a maximum single piece of no more than 2 kilograms, so as to facilitate manual handling, and a machine gun platoon can easily carry and maneuver, which is very suitable for combat under special terrain conditions such as mountains and jungles. In terms of structure, Type 02 adopts the air-guided automatic method on the 19mm machine gun for the first time, greatly simplifying the structure, and the reliability of the weapon working in various environments can be ensured by adjusting the size of the air-guided hole. The gun uses power characteristics matching technology to make each round fly away from the muzzle basically in the same state where the muzzle vibrates, thus having a good continuous shooting accuracy. Due to the use of cold precision forged barrels and new laser enhancement technology, the barrel life reaches 3,000 rounds, creating a new level in China. With a high-level and one scope, the conversion of the high-fire flat-fire state is very convenient. The gun has a firing rate of 600 rounds. What is more interesting is that the general configuration arranged on the helicopter in China is 19 millimeters.

In the absence of effective suppression, the firepower of the "Flying Tiger" armed helicopter was maximized, and the bullets hit Ma Zhankui's proud camp like raindrops, while Ma Zhankui's subordinates were beaten to death and were defeated step by step. In less than half an hour, Ma Zhankui's camp became a dead camp, with dead corpses everywhere. Although Ma Zhankui was full of confidence, in the end, he did not resist the shooting of the 19mm cannon and was beaten into a honeycomb.

Armed helicopters, this high-efficiency weapon system for the army's anti-armor combat, are also an indispensable part of the army's close-range air firepower support. They have strong battlefield adaptability and can not rely on fixed airports. They can not only attack and perform tactical or combat-type tasks alone, but also cooperate with ground troops to fight and provide them with real-time, accurate and powerful air firepower support. In assault aircraft landing operations, it is also the main implementer of vigilant cover, firepower suppression and battlefield support. Compared with transport vehicle helicopters with vulnerable attacks and poor self-defense capabilities, armed helicopters, especially dedicated armed helicopters, play a role similar to tanks in ground mechanized units.

As soon as Ma Zhankui died, the other horses in Shaanxi and Gansu immediately felt the pressure and began to restrain themselves. They began to suffocate the rebellion wisely. In fact, they hoped that Zhao Gang could open the door and let them go. But this time they miscalculated. Zhao Gang just calculated and learned about the number of deaths in the Hui rebellion in Shaanxi and Gansu (3.5 million Han people and 730 million Hui people), and said softly: "It's time to kill!"

This sentence determined the life and death of these people. In less than three months, the rebel army quelled the unrest in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, but it brought endless killings. When the army unveiled the veil that had been hidden in the dark and revealed its true face, the people who had always regarded the army as just soldiers suffered a huge impact. Those chaebols who had originally relied on their strength to advance were all pale and considered how to win Zhao Gang's favor and avoid being wiped out by the iron army under Zhao Gang.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Gang instructed relevant media to start a magnificent campaign to crack down on collusion between officials and businessmen
