Chapter 948 The War Begins
Armed helicopters, at tree height, are the killers of ground tanks. In military terminology, this space is also called the fifth space.
If we only consider combat effectiveness, armed helicopters are indeed the natural enemy of ground forces. However, ground forces will certainly not just take a beating without fighting back. Various ground-based air defense weapons will put armed helicopters in great danger.
For example, for the Soviet ground forces, accompanying the field troops in their advance is the Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, a perverted anti-aircraft artillery system. It has four 23mm anti-aircraft guns. When the four barrels fire together, the scene is extremely spectacular. A large number of 23mm shells fly towards the target. For the target, it is simply a rain of death!
Not to mention low-speed helicopters, even high-speed fighters cannot defend against the attack of this self-propelled anti-aircraft gun! In the later Gulf War, when the pilots of the coalition forces learned that there was such a killer weapon on the ground, they did not dare to fly at ultra-low altitude. The violent metal barrage could tear them apart at any time!

And now, not far from the lecture location, the East German army was on high alert. They were trying to prevent American agents from being in the crowd. However, among the weapons of these East German troops, there were self-propelled anti-aircraft guns!
Almost at the same time as the helicopter was discovered, the turret of the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun turned quickly and the radar locked onto the target. In just two seconds, the four 23mm gun barrels began to emit flames!
The ammunition chain rattled as 23mm shells flew out of the gun barrel and headed towards the target at a speed of 970 meters per second!
Three grenades, separated by an armor-piercing bullet, with a firing rate of 3,400 rounds per minute, have formed a powerful metal barrage!

The Apache helicopter is an excellent military helicopter of the United States. Its protective design is also very powerful. For example, there is bulletproof glass separating the two seats. The front section of the fuselage is made of a multi-beam stainless steel structure reinforced with plastic steel, while the rear section uses a honeycomb structure with plastic steel skin.
When designed, this type of aircraft can withstand attacks from 12.7mm ammunition and a small amount of 23mm ammunition, and the main rotor rod can also withstand direct hits from 12.7mm armor-piercing shells and a small amount of 23mm high-explosive shells.
It was just a small amount! But now, a large amount of 23mm ammunition hit the Apache! Not only high-explosive shells, but also armor-piercing shells! In this terrible metal storm, the flying Apache helicopter didn't even have time to make any evasive moves, and was directly blown up in the sky!
A fireball appeared in the sky, and at the same time, the scene on the ground was also horrific!

Those rockets caused heavy casualties among the people on the ground! Those who were directly hit were even reduced to pieces of flesh, and those who were affected by shrapnel were also reduced to broken limbs!
"We Germans are a nation that will never surrender!" Günter Rall and Andre got up from the ground, with several bodyguards holding them down. They were not injured at all. Günter Rall looked at everything outside. The Americans actually dared to launch such an attack on civilians. Günter Rall was completely furious.
In front of the microphone, Günter Rall roared: "Now, all the Wehrmacht troops in West Germany must accept the orders of the Ministry of Defense to protect our country and our people! We will not fear war!"

"Yes!" A loud answer came from below.
Andre looked down and saw that the commander of the Second Army, Alfred, had one arm blown off. His face was extremely pale, but he still saluted Günter Rall with his good arm!
Germany is a powerful nation. If they are really unified, will it become too powerful to be eliminated in the future? At this time, Andre even began to have a little worry.
But now, Germany is an existence that scares the United States and makes NATO tremble!

"This is all a Soviet conspiracy. Are these Germans stupid? They can't see such a simple thing! This Günter Rall must have been instigated by East Germany. Maybe he is not the real Günter Rall at all, but a substitute with the same appearance!" Old John said: "Now, the situation is completely out of control. Everyone in Germany wants to drive us away!"
"Of course we won't leave." Bernard said, "The White House has issued an order requiring us to attack immediately and wipe out all the rebellious German troops! These Germans are too arrogant now. They have almost forgotten how we fought all the way from Normandy."
The White House's order has come down! Fight this battle at all costs!

"Yes, we should have attacked long ago!" John said, "But some of our people are still captured by them. Otherwise..."
Because they were not prepared at the beginning, a small number of NATO troops were quickly captured by the large number of German troops. If it weren't for those prisoners, our side could have used tactical nuclear bombs to flatten the German military bases at any time!

This is what old John meant. On the European continent, Germany and Britain have always been mortal enemies. For Britain, the best outcome would be for all Germans to be wiped out.
After World War II, the United States revitalized West Germany through the Marshall Plan, but now? West Germany has rebelled! This is something that other NATO countries cannot tolerate!
"So far, we are only facing the Germans, and the Warsaw Pact troops have not been dispatched. If we attack with all our strength, will it give the Warsaw Pact an excuse to start a war?" asked the Dutch.

In order to fight against the Warsaw Pact, after the Cold War began, NATO giants brought in Belgium and the Netherlands, and let these two small countries form an army each, namely the Belgian First Army and the Dutch First Army. They usually stayed in their own country, but would immediately rush to West Germany in the event of any incident.
And now, these two armies have joined the second batch of troops recruited by the United States. They have also sent senior generals to the headquarters to serve as liaison officers.

Although they sent troops, they were also worried. What if the situation got out of control?
"No, the White House has already analyzed it. Moscow, standing on the moral high ground, has been saying that this is the Germans' own problem and they will not send troops," said Bernard.
The Warsaw Pact will not send troops, this is of course a lie! The real purpose of the White House is that even if the Warsaw Pact sends troops and it turns into a world war, they will fight this war!
If it were really said out loud, then these vassal countries might not dare to take action. After all, it is the French who are playing tricks!
