Why A-10.

Because the A-10 is the last professional attack aircraft in active service in the US military, it is the only attack aircraft specifically responsible for providing fire support to ground troops.

Why not an armed helicopter.

Because the armed helicopter is not as fast as the A-10, its bomb load is not as large as the A-10, and its survivability is not as strong as the A-10.

Most importantly, armed helicopters do not have as long a range as the A-10.

With only one rocket nest mounted and 1,150 rounds of ammunition for the 30mm cannon, the A-10's combat radius can reach 900 kilometers and its range can reach more than 3,000 kilometers.

In other words, these two A-10s can carry basic ammunition and maximum fuel capacity, and can accompany an E-6B electronic warfare aircraft from a remote airport to Malakal to conduct a precise air-to-ground mission.

blow.

So why did only two A-10s and one E6B come to Malakal?

The reason is very simple, because these three planes have enough fuel to fly to Malakal, but they cannot fly back from Malakal. Malakal has an airport and a runway, which can guarantee that these three planes can land.

But Malakal is occupied by zombies. It is easy for these three planes to land, but if they want to take off again, they must have fuel.

A very simple and easy-to-understand truth is that these three planes are performing a mission that is likely to have no return, just like buying a one-way ticket.

If Malakal Airport is captured and the refinery is saved, then more planes will land at Malakal Airport, but if Malakal Airport is saved but the refinery is destroyed, then the cleaners will

Unless enough fuel is air-dropped, these planes will just be scrap metal parked on the runway.

The Rams used a conspiracy, which was to destroy Malakal City's role as a logistics center to force the cleaners to launch a storm first. He succeeded. The cleaners were indeed forced to use their last trump card and used a weapon they did not want to use.

A secret weapon revealed in advance.

But what Ramyang didn't expect was that what prevented him from destroying Malakal's industrial capabilities was not the defenders stationed in Kodok and Malut, but two attack aircraft flying from more than a thousand kilometers away.

Both the solar system company and the cleaners gave each other a surprise.

"This afternoon I discovered that Solar System Company began to sabotage the airport and destroyed one of our ammunition depots. I judged that they would definitely destroy the oil refinery. Based on the characteristics of the zombies and the type of factory we have in Malakal, I thought the enemy would definitely destroy us.

of refineries.”

Thompson had an incomprehensible smile on his face. He was sitting in a chair. The headset was not on his head, but he took it back in his hand and kept shaking it.

"In my opinion, our military presence in Malakal depends on the existence of the city of Malakal, and whether the city of Malakal can continue to exist depends on the continuous supply of oil. I convinced the elders to agree.

Send our air force to stop the enemy's destruction."

Stretching out his left hand and pointing at the image returned by the drone, Thompson said confidently: "Look at him, the Fire Stealer. He has speed and strength that are not human. He can freely roam in a city full of zombies.

However, he is the only one in and out, so it is very simple for us to stop Solar System Company's conspiracy, just take out the fire thief with a surgical strike."

Thompson made a pistol-like shape with his left hand and fired a shot at the screen. Then he put his index finger to his mouth and blew, chuckling: "It's very simple, isn't it."

Thompson was explaining, but at the same time he was showing off, responding to Murphy's explanation and showing off.

But Thompson is right. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is indeed very simple.

The attack aircraft's sighting pod has locked onto the fire thief, and in the real-time transmission of the picture, the crosshair representing the aiming point is aligned with the fire thief.

Continuous flashes of light made Murphy temporarily hold his breath. He also expected the fire thief to be killed, because from the moment he saw the fire thief, he knew that this person was definitely the key to changing the battlefield situation.

One person cannot play a key role in a battle, but if that person can unscrupulously destroy the logistics supply infrastructure, then he plays a key role.

But the fire thief suddenly accelerated his speed. On the basis that it was impossible for ordinary people to do so, he suddenly accelerated and successfully dodged the rocket attack.

"This is impossible!"

Larry blurted out an exclamation, but Thompson just frowned and then said: "It doesn't matter, our pilots are experienced..."

The cannon opened fire, and he watched the shells fall to the ground and explode. However, the figure of the fire thief accelerated again, and when he turned again to avoid the attack, Larry opened his mouth wide, but he could not make a sound at the moment.

The two attacks failed, and the fire thief had escaped beyond the attack range of the A-10. From the perspective of adjusting the attack direction, the A-10 was indeed unable to compare with the armed helicopter.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We still have an attack plane. In fact, the lead aircraft has not fired yet. The pilot of the lead aircraft is..."

While Thompson was speaking, the lead plane opened fire, and the strategy of the pilot of the lead plane greatly impressed both Larry and Thompson. Even Murphy, whose hands were handcuffed, was filled with relief at this moment.

Yes, it is necessary to launch all the ammunition in the shortest possible time, use a wide range of attack range to offset the advantage of the fire thief being too fast, and cover the fire thief with firepower in an instant.

The fire and smoke from the explosion filled the entire screen for a while, and the figure of the fire thief was submerged in the fire.

Thompson took a deep breath, stood up, picked up the headset, put it to his mouth, and whispered: "Great job."

Thompson turned around, looked at Larry and Murphy, and smiled: "Now, I think I can ask Mr. Murphy to go temporarily..."

Larry and Murphy looked like they had seen a ghost, which made Thompson stunned for a moment, and then he immediately turned around.

In the picture transmitted back by the drone, a figure appeared again. He ran a little awkwardly, but he was still running, and his speed was still very fast.

The headset fell from Thompson's hand and fell to the ground silently.

The fire thief was still alive, and he ran under an oil tank.

At that moment, Thompson's brain was blank. He looked at the screen and opened his mouth, but his brain didn't know what to say.

"Let the artillery fire immediately! Just lose a few oil tanks now! We can still produce oil, but if we ignore it, the refinery will be finished!"

Murphy yelled again, then he paused and yelled again: "Or let the warthog attack, attack directly, forget about the oil tank, kill him! The fire thief must be killed!"

Thompson was stunned for a moment, and his stalled brain finally started to work again, so he immediately yelled: "No! The fire thief is injured, he is going to die, he can't get to the refinery area, precise attack, absolutely
