Chapter 299 The Epic-level Strengthened Hummer Team Seeks the Moon
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The operational personnel of the Rangers, Delta, and DG have basically prepared their respective supplies and are chatting in the reserve hall while doing final inspections.
In the large open space outside the main door of the reserve hall, helicopters from the 160th Special Aviation Regiment began to arrive one after another.
There are four AH-6 Bird helicopters.
This is a bubble-type two-cockpit small attack helicopter that can fly over all terrains. For this mission, it is equipped with two 19-round rocket nests and automated multi-barreled machine guns.
It has become synonymous with small and fierce.
Seats were installed on both sides of the cabin to carry the vanguard of the assault.
Delta Force C Squadron.
Each Bird helicopter carries a commando team of 4 people, totaling 16 people.
During operations, the Little Bird helicopter not only serves as the precise delivery of personnel, but also needs to participate in direct combat and provide the only aerial firepower strike.
When landing at the target building, the first two aircraft need to be responsible for sweeping the attack.
That is to say, if there is a counterattack on the roof of the target building, the first two Little Birds need to use their ferocious firepower to clear away all threats at the landing site, so that the Delta members can airborne smoothly.
The latter two were responsible for guarding and assisting in cover during the entire cleaning process.
It's equivalent to preparation.
When Delta's 16-man team is successfully launched, four Little Birds will hover over the entire combat zone, waiting for orders to reinforce the Rangers in the battle.
There are nine Black Hawk helicopters in total, and they are all modified and enhanced types.
Four of them are responsible for delivering Ranger units, four elite blocking teams from Company B, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Fort Benning, Georgia.
Helicopter numbers range from Super 64 to Super 67.
The Ranger team is composed of 13 people, plus two additional Ranger soldiers, who are responsible for controlling the two mini Gatlings on the helicopter to provide air support after the personnel release is completed.
It needs to carry 15 members at one time, which has exceeded the rated carrying capacity.
Therefore, these four aircraft are all special extended models, and all the seats inside have been removed to expand the carrying capacity.
It is foreseeable that the riding experience of the Rangers who are wearing armor and fully armed and whose bodies are much larger than usual will definitely not be very good.
They need to be close to each other, with their backs and tops tightly squeezed together in the early stage.
Super 61 and Super 62 and these two aircraft, the situation is the opposite extreme.
There were only two people on board each plane, and they were all the outer cover team of Delta Force. Super 62 was a sniper, and Super 61 was a machine gunner and medical officer.
This team allocation model for assault and cover is completely different from the DG of Dragon War and others.
but.
There are also similarities and differences.
There are team members in charge of assaults who conduct raids, and other cover and support teams provide cover and support on the outside, and provide various external information to internal assault personnel.
Super 63 became a command helicopter, and its codename was replaced by the more advanced C2, with a total of only 4 members.
Lieutenant Colonel Tom Matthews and his deputy were responsible for coordinating cooperation between the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, which conducted the mission, and various units.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Lieutenant Colonel Gary Harrell of Delta Force and his deputies are responsible for command and coordination of all ground forces.
Super 69 belongs to the Combat Search and Rescue Team, which is also a Ranger army team with 15 members.
Needless to say, the remaining Super 68 is exclusive to the Special Incident Emergency Response Team.
The stage for DG personnel!
In addition to the 13 helicopters parked outside the door and dedicated to serving combat troops, there are also six helicopters dedicated to serving the command system.
They are three surveillance helicopters and three high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, providing all high-altitude views during the battle, as well as battlefield monitoring of the entire area.
Continuing outside the helicopter parking area, a huge ground fleet is already ready at the gate of the camp.
A total of nine wide-body Humvees and three trucks were responsible for transporting ground troops there, then escorting prisoners and withdrawing airborne assault troops.
Long Zhan could clearly see from a distance that although the Hummer was still a Hummer, the model had completely changed.
The Humvees in the Black Hawk's Fall in Dragon War Memory are just ordinary "ECV types" that have been moderately modified using the entry-level models M998A1 and M1025.
That is, the overall enlarged and improved type.
Also called wide body.
Without the additional armor protection kit, it does not have very good bulletproof capabilities.
There is only a hard-top shell constructed of steel sheets, Kevlar fiber and polycarbonate double window materials. The technical term is called "basic armor" armor package.
This thing can block pistol and rifle bullets just fine, as well as heavy machine guns and rocket launchers.
It's like paper.
Even the most dangerous gun tower on the roof of the vehicle is not equipped with surrounding bulletproof shields, making the machine gunner a living target.
This also resulted in the heavy machine gunners who fired being killed one after another during the "Mogadishu Long Run".
In the end, no one could go up and shoot anymore, and they were all turned into wounded and corpses.
Not to mention three 5-ton trucks. They are just ordinary transport trucks. The carriages are covered with tarpaulins, and ordinary bullets can easily penetrate them.
The driver of one of the trucks was hit by a rocket and missing everything from the abdomen down.
The person flew more than ten meters, and his intestines flowed all over the ground.
It's a terrible word.
Today, 20 years later, times have changed and cars have all changed.
Even if Washington thinks it is too ostentatious, it is not allowed to send tanks, MRAP, JLTV and other armed armored vehicles into the city.
The protective capabilities of these Humvees have also changed over time.
All nine Humvees have been replaced by M1151, an overall enlarged armed ECV type.
And the protection capabilities have been greatly upgraded. Some are equipped with IAP armor protection kits customized by the manufacturer, which have a level of secondary armor protection.
Some are equipped with the AKS armor survivability kit purchased by the Army Headquarters, reaching the protection level of three-level mountain armor.
The addition of nearly a thousand kilograms of protective kit to the car is a qualitative change.
The Humvee's protective capabilities have been greatly improved, and it is basically difficult for heavy machine guns to penetrate it easily.
Even the RPG, the most powerful weapon against militants, can provide very good defense.
Especially the gun turrets on the roof are all equipped with 360-degree bulletproof shields and equipped with 360-degree turning rails, which are enough to allow the equipped M2HB 12.7mm heavy machine gun to exert more ferocious combat effectiveness.
In the ensuing Mosadiga long-distance race, the heavy machine gunners on the Humvee will no longer become a living target.
If Aidid's militiamen want to shoot down the heavy machine guns, they will have to pay a huge price, and it will never be as easy as in the original movie plot.
