Chapter Forty-Eight: Shot Down Once Again

  A gust of wind blew by, and the glasses snake flashed in the sky for a moment. In that instant, the bullet that had been aimed at it just now went empty.

  Wanting to hit the lower part of the rotor, that place is the weakest, but at the same time, the target's projection area is also the smallest. A slight disturbance made the cobra shake, and as a result, three bullets missed the mark.

  The steel-cored bullet whizzed past the edge of the decelerator, and the two trailing incendiary armor-piercing shells didn't even touch the sidewinder.

  What's going on? Although the helicopter's roar was huge, the two pilots also felt a crisis.

  The glasses snake's machine head slightly turned, in the afterglow of the setting sun, discovered those three standing soldiers, they held rifles and were aiming at themselves.

  Was the glasses snake just killed like that? The two people inside the glasses snake felt a bit incredulous, they were the eagles in the sky, the masters of the infantry sky, and they could be killed by just a few rifles?

  Iraqi infantry, really out of their minds.

  Now that the target has been found, it must be absolutely not let go. The pilot stepped on the rudder pedal and pressed the control stick. The Cobra turned a circle in the air and flew towards the target on this side.

  Pilots are neither stupid nor arrogant, the fact that the previous "Specter" was shot down proves that the enemy in front of us cannot be underestimated. However, no matter what, discovery means destruction!

  The cobra is making S-shaped movements in mid-air and flying towards this side.

  "Aim at the air intake of the engine, I'll take care of the glass." Zhang Feng quickly assigned tasks.

  No one's luck can last forever. The sneak attack was disrupted by a gust of wind from the heavens, and to make matters worse, they were discovered by the Glasses Snake.

  Want to run? That's impossible! The only chance is to take them down before they fly over!

  Zhang Feng's magazine was loaded with steel-core bullets, while the other two magazines were loaded with armor-piercing incendiary rounds. He immediately assigned targets according to their previous plan, and the incendiary rounds would be most effective in attacking the opponent's engine air intake. As long as one round hit, the engine would be scrapped.

  His own steel core bullet is most effective against the opponent's bulletproof glass, because compared to the air intake, the area of the bulletproof glass is slightly larger.

  In the crosshairs, that helicopter was already wavering in mid-air, changing its flight direction from time to time, increasing the difficulty of aiming at itself.

  On the battlefield, never repeat the same action more than twice! said Zhang Feng's instructor, who had participated in several battles during his training.

  For example, when advancing, you can't walk in a straight line, but must take a curved route. However, you also can't move left and right in a regular pattern, otherwise the enemy sniper will calculate the time it takes for the bullet to fly over and predict your trajectory, so that when the time is right, the bullet and person meet at the same place, resulting in death.

  Now, the helicopter in the sky is constantly changing its flight posture, but the pilot on it has not realized that his S-shaped route is too regular!

  The sniper next to him fired two shots, but neither of them hit their mark.

  It seems that training for snipers must also be carried out, and there is a lot of knowledge that snipers need to learn.

  Zhang Feng did not rush to fire the gun. He was observing the opponent's flight in the scope, and the barrel of the gun also moved with it, calculating in his heart.

  It looks like slow motion, but Zhang Feng is actually very fast. About two seconds later, Zhang Feng suddenly turned the barrel of his gun, and the helicopter was out of the sight of the aiming mirror. He fired a shot at the empty sky because he knew that in the next moment, the cobra would fly here.

  "Gun camera ready, take them out." said the pilot and weapons operator.

  Those three somewhat foolish snipers on the ground, as if they had taken the wrong medicine, fired at the sky. What's the use of holding a sniper rifle? Hitting a helicopter flying in the air is like using a dart to hit a mosquito. If the mosquito loses a single hair, it would be considered extremely unlucky.

  Get closer and blow them all to smithereens with the machine gun!

  He pushed the control stick to the right again, and the helicopter turned right once more. This is called a snake-shaped maneuver, got it? Iraqi soldier.

  Suddenly, his pupils dilated, and the glass in front of him suddenly cracked into countless fine cracks, followed by a blood-red color.

  His chest suddenly hurt violently, he lowered his head and saw that a big hole had appeared, with fresh blood gushing out.

  How is this possible? I'm a genius, a pilot, and yet I was shot by a mere soldier with a gun?

  He made his last effort, his feet left the rudder pedals, his body leaned back, and he fell onto the seat.

  Avenge me!

  The Cobra has tandem cockpits, the front one being lower and with a wider field of view, housing the gunner/observer, while the rear one is higher and houses the pilot.

  Although the front seat is a weapon operator, there are still full driving equipment, control sticks and rudder pedals in his cockpit, which are linked with the rear. In emergency situations, the front cabin's weapon operator can also pilot the helicopter.

  Of course, this requires a prerequisite, that is, there is no interference in the operation behind, if he suddenly lies on the operating lever and presses down the operating lever, then the people in the front cabin can't push the operating lever at all, only crash.

  The pilot handed over the plane to his comrade in the front cabin as he was dying.

  Hearing the movement behind, the gunner in the front cabin turned his head and saw that the rear cabin was full of blood. His old partner, who had been with him for many years, was killed by a sniper rifle. He became enraged.

  He took over the control of the helicopter, pressed down the operating lever heavily, and then fired!

  Just hit the opponent's pilot smoothly, Zhang Feng saw the appearance of the helicopter in the sight, and then the cockpit turned red, knowing that he had completed his mission.

  The next moment, a helicopter will be seen rolling down and crashing to the ground, turning into a fireball.

  But little did they know, the helicopter was still flying steadily, while the six-barreled machine gun below had already taken aim and was about to open fire.

  Damn it, miscalculation, and that guy is also a pilot!

  At this moment, Zhang Feng was suddenly pulled down by two soldiers and hid behind a burning tank.

  "What's going on? Malvern? Warick?" Zhang Feng was furious.

  The two men did not explain, they pressed Zhang Feng to the ground, and then all the remaining team members stood up, all the "Tabuk" 7.62mm assault rifles fired at the cobra together!

  Zhang Feng knew that his soldiers had given up their own chances of survival to allow him to escape, and yet they had chosen to sacrifice themselves. This method of shooting could hit the enemy's helicopter, but the probability was even smaller. The next moment, the enemy's machine gun would wildly pour out 20mm cannonballs, and as long as one hit, it would smash a person to pieces.

  The gunner pressed the fire button, but the machine gun did not respond.

  He lowered his head and saw that a red light had lit up on the dashboard, only then did he remember that in the previous outburst, all the shells had been fired.

  He stared at the sudden increase in firepower on the ground and abruptly pulled up the aircraft's nose.

  The helicopter has thick armor on its belly, which is not afraid of the shooting of this ordinary rifle. He just needs to turn around and come back, while preparing to launch an anti-tank missile, turning them all into ashes!

  I thought the other side was going to fire artillery, but unexpectedly the machine gun below did not respond and pulled away. The soldiers stopped firing. A magazine only has thirty rounds of ammunition, and just now they fired continuously, using up all the bullets.

  Zhang Feng has completed preparations for reloading again.

  Anyway, this is an opportunity, Zhang Feng jumped up again.

  This time, the Cobra just finished turning around, its tail facing directly at us. Moreover, the gunner was doing the work of two people alone and didn't have the energy to maneuver.

  Zhang Feng aimed at the opponent's tail and fired another bullet.

  This time, it's a flare bomb.

  The sky had already turned somewhat dark, only a bright light was seen passing by, and then the opponent's tail wing came into view, with thick smoke rising up.

  Zhang Feng's shot hit the hydraulic operating mechanism at the tail of the cobra, piercing the hydraulic oil pipe and instantly igniting a fire.

  The plane was like a headless fly, its tail wing damaged, and it suddenly spun out of control, crashing to the ground with a loud boom, turning into a sea of flames.

  The second Glasses Snake was finally shot down!
