Chapter 1405 Safety Rope

The helicopter tactics of the Eighth Route Army gradually took shape. After all, the scouts led by monks participated in the training. They usually did rock climbing or used ropes to climb up and down.

If there is anything to learn, it is to cooperate with the helicopter, such as using the rocket launcher or machine gun on the helicopter to destroy a certain firepower point or provide cover for the ground troops, or the ground troops to destroy the enemy's possible air defense forces to provide the helicopter with Tactics such as cover.

During this time, Wang Xuexin made further improvements to the armed helicopter: canceling the cabin door.

In fact, not only the cabin door was canceled, Wang Xuexin also opened another cabin door on the other side of the helicopter.

This surprised everyone including Major Alberta.

When Wang Xuexin proposed this improvement plan to Major Alberta, Major Alberta objected: "Comrade commander, it is not difficult to make such a change. All we have to do is remove the hatch on one side and open the same hatch on the other side." The hatch. But is there any point in doing that?"

When Alberta asked this, Wang Xuexin was silent for a while.

This is because Wang Xuexin knows that Ying Jiang will become the world's number one power in the near future and will also become China's enemy, so no matter what advanced equipment or advanced tactical ideas he has, he is reluctant to let Ying Jiang know.

But Wang Xuexin immediately thought: The benefits of opening the hatch of the helicopter only need to be known once or twice in actual combat, and it is easy for Ying Jiang to obtain relevant information.

So Wang Xuexin explained: "Of course it makes sense, Major! Canceling the hatch can make it easier for the helicopter to increase its firepower. It can be faster and more convenient! You know, the most important thing in helicopter combat is speed!"

Alberta nodded slightly. He felt that what Wang Xuexin said made sense, but he still replied worriedly: "But Comrade Commander, change it to this... When the helicopter makes a sharp turn or tilts, you don't have to worry about the soldiers. Unable to maintain balance and thrown out?"

"Safety rope, Major!" Wang Xuexin replied: "We can use a safety rope to tie the soldiers to the roof of the helicopter cabin and buckle the other end to the soldier's belt. It can ensure that the soldiers will not fall out of the cabin when the helicopter is flying with great maneuverability. In addition, This safety rope can also help soldiers evacuate quickly!"

"Quick evacuation?" Alberta didn't understand what this had to do with quick evacuation.

"It's like this!" Wang Xuexin said: "Our soldiers can slide from the helicopter to the ground during the cable drop. At this time, the helicopter can hover in mid-air without landing on the ground. But we can't do it when evacuating. We need to stop the helicopter. On the ground, you can only evacuate after the soldiers board the plane, and this is very dangerous for both soldiers and helicopters!"

Hearing this, Alberta understood. He widened his eyes and said, "If there is a safety rope on the helicopter, there is no need for this. We can set the safety rope to be retractable, and then we only need to throw the safety rope down." Buckle it on the soldier's waist, and the soldier can be evacuated quickly in an emergency!"

Wang Xuexin nodded: "That's what I want to say!"

"Good idea, Comrade Commander!" Alberta praised from the bottom of his heart: "You have invented a new tactic, and it still looks very practical!"

Of course, this is not Wang Xuexin's idea. Modern helicopter special operations are done in this way, but it must be used with caution, because if the safety rope is too long, it will often twist together and cause unpredictable dangers.

However, if the helicopter does not have the conditions to land at all under extreme circumstances, this method is not a bad idea.

This improvement is indeed not difficult. Two days later, all ten armed helicopters opened their mouths at both ends. Alberta even carefully installed a spare machine gun mount next to the hatch... This machine gun mount can be used when it is not needed. Folding to the top of the landing gear does not affect the helicopter operation at all. When needed, it can be pulled out and unfolded and fixed with a combination of pillars, so that the machine gun can be mounted and fired.

Although Wang Xuexin was unable to see the training of the reconnaissance brigade in Liyuan most of the time, he was paying attention to the summary report submitted by Shi Sha every day.

In this regard, Wang Xuexin did not dare to neglect at all, because it was related to whether he could capture the Taiyuan Arsenal, and this was the key to Wang Xuexin changing his strategic direction and planning to recover Taiyuan first.

That evening, when Wang Xuexin was looking at the training report of the reconnaissance brigade, Zhang Zongping hurriedly walked up to Wang Xuexin with a telegram and said, "Regimental Commander, the devils are moving in the direction of Datong, and someone found a large number of devils walking out of the Taihang Mountains! "

"Out of Taihang Mountain?" Wang Xuexin looked at Zhang Zongping in surprise, and asked, "How many people are there?"

"It's not very clear now!" Zhang Zongping replied: "It is estimated that there is at least one brigade!"

Wang Xuexin couldn't help frowning.

The Eighth Route Army didn't know that such a large-scale troop of the devils crossed the Taihang Mountains until now... This shows that the devils were very careful all the way, and it also told Wang Xuexin that the devils must have plans.

Zhang Zongping asked: "Commander, is the devil's goal Datong?"

Wang Xuexin pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "The ultimate goal may be Datong, but at present, their goal should be the Yangyuan Passage!"

Given the previous strength of the Eighth Route Army, it is indeed possible for the devils to intersperse into a brigade and directly attack Datong.

But the current Eighth Route Army is not what it used to be. It is wishful thinking for a brigade or more devils to attack Datong. After all, the Eighth Route Army has the air power at this time. The air force is almost blown up.

Therefore, the devil's painstaking interludes have only one purpose: to cut off the supplies of the Datong and Yangyuan passages while attacking both inside and outside, so that when the main force of the devils attacks along the Yangyuan passage, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will be unable to launch a counterattack against it.

If it was in the past, the devil's surprise move could indeed pinch Datong's vitals.

The Yangyuan Passage is the main barrier of Datong. Wang Xuexin deployed six main regiments on both sides of the passage, the Yinshan Remnant and Hengshan Mountain.

If the supply lines of these six main regiments are cut off before the battle, they will be unable to go out of the mountains and fight against the main force of the devils on the plains... Even if they try to fight, they will be weak in follow-up due to insufficient supplies, and self-protection will become a problem at that time, let alone the passage. cut off.

Once the passage is lost, the army of devils will flood into the hinterland to attack Datong and even split up to attack Yanmen Pass. At that time, it will be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to take care of both ends.

But now...

Wang Xuexin said a word: "Our secrecy work is done well, the devils don't even know that our army has helicopters!"
