Chapter 422: High-Tech War
The Black Dragon Army has the advantage in weapons and equipment, but too few troops is a hard flaw, even after the thousands of mercenaries of the Galaxy Security Company participated in the battle, there was not much improvement.
Especially after occupying a large area such as Neidu, the territory that needs to be defended is too large, which gives the coalition forces the room to give full play to their advantages.
On the third day of the battle, the Black Dragon Army abandoned most of its front-line positions and began to shrink its forces, and even the political capital of Neidu was ready to withdraw.
However, in this round of confrontation, the coalition forces did not get much benefit, and the attacking troops were attacked by the Black Dragon Army with precise and fierce blows, and the casualties were very heavy.
In the air, the Black Dragon Army has a large number of advanced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to carry out battlefield reconnaissance, bombing and other tasks, and carry out precision strikes on living forces and various military targets.
On the ground, there are various multi-functional intelligent machines, as well as those who perform mine detection, mine clearance and mine laying; There are autonomous aircraft that are used for unmanned vigilance or target search to carry out attacks on targets; There are self-detonating planes that specialize in dealing with hidden targets, such as qìdogs, and strive to reduce battlefield casualties.
There are also various smart missiles with super high hit rates and as if they have eyes!
The Black Dragon Army's current intelligent missiles are mainly divided into two types, one is the intelligent homing missile that is ignored after launch, such as air-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft missiles; It is also an intelligent cruise missile that attacks important targets on the ground, and can also be called a one-way or suicide unmanned bomber.
This intelligent cruise missile flew through man-operated flights, and within a week, it attacked more than 1,000 important targets of the coalition forces, such as information control centers, airfields, oil depots, and air defense positions.
The operators who operate these cruise missiles are also very peculiar, some of them are pilots on shift or in training; More are masters in flying games, and there are even young people who are not yet twenty years old.
Compared to the Black Dragon Army, which uses a lot of unmanned equipment and "Dragon Warrior" bulletproof suits. The ratio of casualties on both sides reached a terrifying 38:1.
Such heavy casualties. Let the attacking coalition soldiers fall into hell!
At the time of the offensive. Often before you see the position of the Black Dragon Army, there are accurate shells falling on your head, as well as all kinds of elusive drones, with fierce firepower and flexible response, which is simply the "Grim Reaper" on the battlefield.
It is not easy to get closer, the caseless bullet guns used by the Black Dragon Army have strong firepower, and the magazines are easily more than three times that of ordinary guns. There is also an intelligent individual grenade that can sense the enemy's infrared signature and automatically fly and track in the air, as long as it is thrown, it will definitely hit the target, and you can't dodge it even if you want to.
Some of the participating countries originally wanted to follow the Lijian country in the fight for soy sauce, which was not uncommon in previous wars.
The soldiers of these countries generally did not have a resolute will to fight, and after suffering one or two heavy blows, their morale was so low that they even defied the orders of their superiors and refused to go to the battlefield again.
Even the soldiers of the Lijian Kingdom, who had experienced a hundred battles, were scared this time, and many soldiers scattered in a hurry as soon as they saw the figure of the drone overhead, and they didn't know how to fight back.
on the ground battlefield. The Black Dragon Army used advanced equipment to regain the disadvantage in troops.
The air supremacy over the theater was also firmly controlled by the Black Dragon Army. This is mainly of interest to the Black Dragon Army's advanced intelligent anti-aircraft missile and laser defense systems.
The Tianlong fighter was born out of thin air, and with its super stealth performance and attack capability, coupled with ultra-long-range intelligent missiles, it laid down two early warning planes and a large electronic warfare plane of the coalition forces at the beginning of the war, and for a time, these planes did not dare to approach the theater of operations.
Since the start of the war, the Black Dragon Army has only lost three Celestial Dragon fighters, one of which has flown back and can be used again after repairs.
The results were astonishing, a total of 142 coalition planes were shot down, and the Air Force now has only 31 pilots, more than half of whom have shot down more than 5 enemy planes, and have become ace pilots.
This also made coalition fighter pilots see the sky as a daunting path, because as long as they entered the sky above the positions of the Black Dragon Army, there was more than half a chance that they would not return, and many pilots needed the counseling of a psychiatrist to overcome their fear and take to the air again.
However, with the expansion and escalation of the scale of air combat, it also made the Black Dragon Air Force feel difficult.
The problem of equipment is easy to solve, and the fully automatic assembly line of the Galaxy Aviation Manufacturing Company can be started all day, and a fighter plane will roll off the assembly line almost every two days, and a production line can be added if necessary.
But the shortage of fighter pilots is huge, and although there are advanced virtual flight training cabins, which can reduce flight training time by several times, it is really not an easy task to train a qualified fighter pilot.
Fighter flight training is very expensive, the cost of fuel alone, more than hundreds of thousands per hour, plus the wear and tear of the aircraft and other costs, it can be said that every pilot is piled up with money.
An important part of measuring a pilot's strength is to see how many hours he flies.
At present, fighter pilots in all countries of the world generally use a combination of actual aircraft and simulators for flight training.
In the West, a pilot's 250 flight hours per year includes 50 hours of simulator flight time, which shows the importance of a good flight simulation system.
For the Black Dragon Air Force, the cost issue can not be considered, but the time is too tight, the existing pilots are recruited from retired pilots from various countries, and their own training has not yet reached the stage of actual combat.
On this issue, the Black Dragon Army secretly reached an agreement with the National Defense Force, and the Black Dragon Army helped the National Defense Army develop a number of virtual scientific and technological equipment for military training, tactical exercises, flight simulation and strategic deduction, including military virtual games, flight simulation training cabins, etc.
A group of outstanding fighter and helicopter pilots of the Wehrmacht will be "retired" and join the Black Dragon Army as volunteers.
This is a matter of mutual benefit, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.
The Black Dragons received much-needed pilots and instructors.
The Wehrmacht, on the other hand, learned about the various performance characteristics of the Tianlong stealth fighter and the YZ series of electric helicopters, especially the Tianlong fighter, which is currently the most advanced fighter in the world, and all countries have great interest in it.
At the same time, he also got the actual combat training.
In fact, this method was not the first of its kind in the Black Dragon Army, as early as World War II and the Northern Korean War, pilots from the Rakshasa Kingdom volunteered to join in favor of the allies in their camp.
In order to maximize the ultra-high maneuverability of the Tianlong fighter, Dongfang Safety Protection Products Company has also developed a high-tech liquid-filled flight anti-load suit, which uses some scientific research results of genetic engineering, which is light and tight, so that the pilot can withstand an overload of 12G.
The flight anti-load clothing of various countries is generally 9G, and the most advanced ones only reach 10G.
The hacker masters of the Black Dragon Army and the Intelligence Center also shined in this war.
Since the 21st, the domestic network of the country has been in chaos, first the banking system has been in huge chaos, hacked, hundreds of billions of dollars have been stolen, and it has to be closed for rectification.
Electronic utilities and telephone networks were all blocked, even some alarm calls were interrupted, and then oil pipelines were shut down, there were problems with the dispatching system of freight trains, collisions occurred, power systems, transportation network systems, etc. failed, and the Wall Street stock exchange was forced to shut down.
For a while, rumors spread everywhere, making people almost suspect that the end of the world was coming, and Lijian finally tasted the bitter fruit.
The military command system of the coalition forces is also the focus of this hacker attack, and information warfare is an important link in modern warfare, and the coalition forces have from time to time experienced network blockages, system collapses, and wrong orders.
Some units often receive supplies that they don't need, and what they urgently need is delayed.
From time to time, they also received erroneous or contradictory orders from their superiors, which overwhelmed the troops.
On the strictest occasion, the command system of the coalition army was invaded, and the troops of a division of the government army were attacked by the artillery fire of the coalition army on the battlefield, suffering heavy casualties and almost annihilating the entire army.
This incident directly caused the government army's trust in the coalition forces to drop sharply. (To be continued......)
