Chapter 50: It's a war

The assault capability of the composite force relies on the air force's firepower superiority and accurate firepower guidance and delivery.

The imperial generals who were immersed in the era of heavy armored fighting vehicles finally realized the passing of an era of war in the face of the fact that they had completed many military exercises.

Compared to the enemies who recognized the beginning of a new era of war at a bloody cost, the generals of the Empire were undoubtedly lucky.

In Alinata, the Grimstone Legion from Merric experienced despair for the first time!

Even though they had been warned in advance by the Crusader staff that the Imperial Army might launch a counteroffensive, they did not expect it to be so sharp.

The defense of the synthetic force is comparable to that of iron - this has been seen by the Stubborn Stone Legion, the solidity of the defense and the sharpness of the attack often cannot be taken into account, the Stubborn Legion has been thinking like this, but when only the thinly armored armored vehicles began to assault, the Stubborn Stone Legion realized the absurdity of the view!

Compared with the thickness of the front armor of the combat vehicle, which is hundreds of millimeters at every turn, the front armor of the armored vehicle is really thin, even if the new generation of Long-5 armored vehicles dedicated to the Airborne Forces is expensive, the front armor cannot withstand a 60-caliber double gun shot, and an armor-piercing bullet can chisel through the entire armored vehicle.

However, when the composite forces are formed into a formation and launch a surprise attack, the enemy, who has lost air supremacy, can only experience one kind of taste-

Despair!

Before the bazooka entered the firing range, it was easily torn apart by the high-speed infantry chariot, and finally launched an anti-aircraft gun, but before it could be aimed, the missiles falling from the sky made the entire artillery crew come to naught.

The numerical superiority, in the face of the fire network composed of vehicle-mounted machine guns and the rain of steel bullets, can only turn into corpses all over the ground, and blood flows like a river.

Laboriously gathered a few artillery pieces to support, but after the first round of shelling, the rain of rockets was guided by the radar to expand the artillery positions covering several times the number of artillery positions, unless the cluster artillery was used to bombard - but in a hurry, how could the stubborn stone army, which had lost nearly sixty percent of its artillery, easily mobilize so many artillery?

The Air Force, which had lost its natural enemy, was now transformed into the scythe of death, with machine guns raging and missiles flying in the air.

"Quick! Fast! Pull the logo smoke grenade away! ”

When the air force was venting to its heart's content, Ye Xiao roared hurriedly, because he did not carry the military flag and national flag, if he didn't mark himself out at this time, the air force masters would definitely unceremoniously bombard the machine gun to the position.

The name of the king of manslaughter is not blown out - even if his position is mistakenly killed by the masters of the air force, the military can only pinch its nose and press this record on the enemy's head, instead of cleaning up the culprit, at most it will deduct the medal that it deserves......

The blue and red smoke quickly enveloped the position, and it was unusually eye-catching on the battlefield of black smoke, and a murderous rising plane swept overhead, and finally stopped the raging machine cannon shells when they were close to the position, and let Ye Xiao and them go with a wave of his hand.

", did you really survive it?"

Lu Hang was incredible, he thought that he was really going to be martyred this time, and he was still glad that he left a suicide note this time, but he didn't expect to leave it for nothing......

It seems that Lao Tzu is immortal, and he will never write a difficult suicide note in the future......

The group of armored vehicles and infantry chariots galloping in, like a tiger and wolf leaping into a flock of sheep, watching the infantry who followed to kill in all directions, the soldiers on the position finally realized one thing:

There really are reinforcements!

We survived!

The joy of the rest of the life did not last long, and the corpses that had already shed blood occupied all sight.

The elites involved in the rescue could only sigh, sighing that these comrades-in-arms and brothers did not wait for the end, but those soldiers who survived from the position faced the corpses of their brothers, some lost their voices in pain, some screamed hysterically, and some ......

I just want to fall asleep and meet those comrades in my dreams!

Zhou Yu sat in front of Shi Chengqi in a daze, and the whole person had been blindfolded.

The broken leg was bandaged by Zhou Yu, and he knew his lame technique - if it wasn't for this bandaging place, Zhou Yu wouldn't believe that this would be his squad leader.

"Squad leader...... Reinforcements are coming...... The enemy is crushed......"

Zhou Yu carefully turned Shi Chengqi's body over, tore open a roll of bandage, and carefully wiped the blood on Shi Chengqi's face, but no matter how he wiped it, he couldn't wipe the squad leader's respectable face.

A bowl of big hollow occupies most of Shi Chengqi's face, even if Zhou Yu wipes it frantically, it can only wipe out a little bit of flesh color, but next to it is a red and white color hollow.

"Squad leader, we're waiting for reinforcements...... We've got it...... You speak......"

"Listen...... Our people are assaulting, and the enemy is surrendering crying for his father...... Look at it......"

"Squad leader...... Can we go back...... When you go back, someone will give you a broken limb and be reborn......"

The desperate soldier hugged the cold corpse, ignoring the face that could frighten people to death, wailing in despair, expecting someone to answer, but the corpse grew colder and colder, and occasionally half-congealed blood was left behind, covering the wiped face again.

A comrade-in-arms walked by with a corpse on his back, and when the desperate soldier saw the corpse's face, he suddenly roared like crazy, he pounced, snatched the corpse down, and grabbed the corpse's hands and roared heartbreakingly:

"Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao...... Beam...... Xiao ......"

Zhou Yu shouted like crazy, but the corpse didn't react, it was cold, only the broken chest told what happened to him......

Zhang Liang turned his head silently, not daring to look at the desperate wailing warrior.

"There's only one ...... left"

Zhang Liang sighed, the brothers who were rescued from that position, after a series of battles, the two brothers did not carry it down after all, and fell at the time when it was about to dawn.

Of the brothers they saved from the two positions, at this moment, only four are still alive...... Desperate to live!

They had experienced a terrible battle, and when they were almost completely annihilated, they were saved from their positions with incredible excitement, and the elite fanged warriors gave them infinite hope,

But in the end, they fell into the darkness before dawn......

9 people!

When this battle ended, only 9 of the brothers who withdrew from the four positions survived to the end, and the 10 people who participated in the rescue, although 8 people survived fortunately, Du Bin was seriously injured, Wu Hongwei was seriously injured, and Leng Ying was seriously injured......

Ye Xiao lit a cigarette with the fiery barrel, and the nicotine gas was sucked into the stomach full of gunsmoke, and the smoke with the smell of gunpowder sprayed out of his nose, and mixed with the battlefield breath full of gunsmoke.

"It's a war!"

Ye Xiao suddenly fell to the ground like a deflated ball, looking at the sky shrouded in smoke, and his consciousness slowly dissipated......

"Sir!"

Lu Hang saw Ye Xiao falling, and pounced with the last of his strength, and when he realized that Ye Xiao was mixed up, he muttered:

the groove.

Then, too, he slowly fell asleep.

Chapter 51: Enemy Aircraft Attack

A large plane cruised at an altitude of 15,000 meters.

Inside the aircraft.

The radar soldier stared at the magic crystal screen, not daring to be careless.

"Xiao Chen, is there anything unusual?" After the captain's inquiry, the radar soldier quickly replied:

"Sir, everything ......"

Before the last two words could be spoken, radar soldier Xiao Chen saw many dazzling red dots suddenly appear on the magic crystal screen.

The numerous red dots made the voice of the radar soldier Xiao Chen instantly sharpen:

"Enemy planes are coming! Speed 1100! ”

……

"Report," the communications officer quickly reported: "The AWACS aircraft has sent news that more than 400 enemy planes have appeared in the detection range!" Expected to arrive in 13 minutes! ”

Long Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came - the enemy had not appeared, but the atmosphere in the command headquarters was solemn, and now that it was time to appear, he didn't have to tense his nerves.

"Order all air defense units to prepare for air defense! The 103 Brigade continues to get on board! The Air Force will fix this trouble! ”

After the order was given, Long Xiaotian did not relax, but walked to the large observation screen and silently watched the picture on the screen.

The picture that appeared on the screen was the footage of the 103 Brigade boarding the ship.

……

"Brigade seat, enemy planes are approaching."

After receiving the battle report, Cui Le's brows furrowed, the enemy's time card was very accurate, and the 103rd Brigade had completed most of the loading work at this time, and it was really a time when it was impossible to advance or retreat.

Looking up at the imperial fighters leaving in formation, Cui Le could only hope that the imperial army could intercept the enemy planes, instead of allowing the enemy planes to successfully fly to the boarding ground - the 103rd Brigade at this time was a group of fragile bread.

"Get the troops up to speed!"

The arrival of 400 fighters did not exceed the prediction of the cluster command, and the escort fighters attacked in formation as soon as possible, and the Arinata's side also quickly turned around and went to intercept them.

The planes didn't collide together, and the battle broke out!

The vast sky was the battlefield of their fierce battle, and the back and forth of missiles kicked off the air battle.

The days of aerial combat are long over.

On the fighter plane locked by the missile, the pilot will frantically operate the plane, carry out all kinds of dazzling evasion actions, and the detonating bombs will also fly out one after another - the combat of the aircraft does not seem to be as direct and rigid as the infantry from afar, but the danger is countless times higher than that of the infantry, and the psychological endurance is a severe test.

Not everyone can calmly make all kinds of complex reactions when death comes, and not everyone can ignore the threat of death and rationally operate a fighter with high value.

Just when the plane in the sky was greeting you and me, the 103rd Brigade completed the loading.

"Yun 7 formation, please take off!"

The commander of the spacecraft formation sent the request to the air command in the theater of operations.

"Permission to take off! Escort 8 teams, get ready for escort! ”

After agreeing to the request of the spacecraft formation, the air commander also issued an order to the escort team hovering over the embarkation ground, and the 50 escort fighters quickly dispersed in small groups after receiving the order.

The fully loaded spacecraft formation slowly rose into the air, and while the speed became faster and faster, it began to climb, and in less than a while, the height of the spacecraft formation reached 7,000 meters and began to advance at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour.

The escort fighters reduced their speed and protected the entire transport ship formation in the center.

AWACS aircraft are still flying at high altitudes.

Four, a full four AWACS planes are in charge of this battlefield, and although the transportation distance of the spacecraft formation is only less than 500 kilometers, the air command still makes arrangements according to the most conservative plan.

Some staff officers in the empty fingers despise such a fuss and make a big fuss, but they are staff officers without a commander, and such contempt can only be muttered in their hearts.

"Everything works! The support formation is expected to arrive in 23 minutes! "A staff officer had just finished his routine briefing when the shrill sirens rang out.

"What's going on?"

The Chief of Staff of Control asked in amazement.

A staff officer said quickly while operating quickly: "It's an alarm from the No. 308 AWACS aircraft!" ”

AWACS No. 308 was one of four AWACS aircraft on the battlefield of Arinata.

"308 is missing!" The sweaty report of the communications staff officer - this is not a trivial matter!

On the battlefield of Arinata, as long as there is one negligence, the loss is not only dozens of fighters, but also more than 5,000 soldiers!

"Not good! AWACS No. 308 has lost its signal! ”

The staff officer, who was watching the AWACS, suddenly screamed.

There is only one possibility of losing the signal -

Wrecked!

However, it is an early warning aircraft, cruising at an altitude of 15,000 meters, even if there is a sneak attack by fighters, the powerful early warning capability of the early warning aircraft can be detected in advance, and it can completely temporarily evade and enter higher airspace.

"Contact 320, 388, 410!" The chief of staff turned pale.

Four early warning planes can monitor the airspace of more than 4,000 kilometers, but this time they only need to monitor a range of 2,000 kilometers, and they can completely detect each other.

But blessings and disasters are not a single line!

"410 Missing!"

The communication staff officer's face was pale, and he had contacted 410 a few dozen seconds ago, but now 410 has lost contact!

"388 alarm!"

"388 is missing!"

In just a few seconds, the despair of a rapid descent from the top of the mountain was experienced within the empty fingers, and the three AWACS planes all lost contact and crashed in less than ten seconds-

Nightmare!

"320 replies!" After connecting the 320, the communications staff officer was like a roller coaster, and quickly turned on the amplification.

"Our AWACS aircraft disappeared from the radar! It is suspected that it has been attacked by stealth fighters! ”

"Enemy aircraft groups have been spotted in the southeast! The number is one hundred and fifteen or more! Speed 1500! Speed 1500! It is expected that the transport formation will be intercepted in 19 minutes! ”

"Their goal is to transport formations! Get ready for battle! ”

The report of the AWACS No. 320 instantly plunged the empty finger into a terrible despair.

Speed 1500!

Quantity 150 or more!

What's even more terrifying is that the enemy also has an unknown number of stealth fighters!

The Imperial Air Force had stealth fighters, but due to the high production cost and the lack of large-scale equipment, there was only one small squad of experimental models in the huge air force units of the Central Theater of Operations, which were caught in the war.

The staff officers of the air finger are well aware of the capabilities of stealth fighters - only close-detection radars can vaguely detect such aircraft, that is, radar locking in the traditional sense is ineffective against such aircraft!

The transport formation is going to suffer!

"Order the fighter group, be sure to separate a part to escort the transport formation! Order the escort team 8 to be sure to hold off the enemy group! Ensure the safety of the transport formation! ”

"Orders: Aviation 102 Regiment, 293 Regiment, 322 Regiment! Rush to the aid of Arianata now! ”

"Order: 5th Air Division, abandon the offensive mission! Turnback to support Arianta! ”

The chief of staff gave a number of orders in a very short period of time, but everyone in the empty fingers knew that the nearest 322 air regiment arrived on the battlefield in 43 minutes!

Escort 8 team, can it hold on for 24 minutes?

Chapter 52: Air Combat

When the enemy's aircraft group was still 300 kilometers away from the transport formation, the ground radar had already detected a small aircraft group without prompting the AWACS aircraft.

"The number of enemy aircraft is 178, and it is suspected that there are stealth aircraft, the number is unknown!"

"Enemy aircraft speed 1900! Expect to collide with you within 10 minutes! ”

Listening to the news from the radar station, the palms of the commander of the 8th escort team were covered in cold sweat.

The fifty fighters of the 8th Escort Team are the standard version of the unified Imperial Army 6th generation aircraft (don't be confused with the 6th generation aircraft in the real world), the 4th generation of the Warhawk.

Maximum speed 1700!

Before the enemy engaged, the speed reached 1900 - there is no suspense that the maximum speed will break 2,000 in an instant after the engagement!

The top version of the 6th generation aircraft, the 6th generation of the War Dragon, the speed of 2000 can be easily reached, but the escort 8 team is equipped with the standard version of the War Eagle 4th generation!

What's even more terrifying is that the enemy still has an unknown number of stealth aircraft, not to mention anything else, the performance of stealth aircraft cannot be lower than these more than 100 enemy aircraft, right?

An early warning aircraft that can successfully sneak attack and open a close-range radar will inevitably dive down sharply at a higher altitude, and the ceiling height will inevitably be amazing.

He looked at the formation of spaceships that began to descend in altitude, and silently clenched his fists.

In any case, the transport formation must not be damaged!

"Brothers, fight against the water! I'm invincible! ”

In the internal communication, the charter said in a low voice: "No matter what, we must ensure the safety of the transport formation!" ”

"Yes!"

The pilots replied in unison, and the sound made the communication station vibrate.

"I order: the third formation covers, and the rest of the teams follow me to meet the battle!"

Following the order of the charter, forty planes broke away from the escort formation, and two of them formed and headed into the distance.

In any case, enemy aircraft must not be allowed to approach transport formations that cannot fight back!

……

At a distance of two hundred kilometers, a large number of red dots appeared on the airborne radar, but the dense red dots did not make the charter lose its fighting spirit, and the colonel murmured instead:

"This is the airspace controlled by the Imperial Army! No matter which country's new fighter you are, there is only one way to get here! ”

"That's a crash!"

Twenty groups of fighters met the enemy group, and as the distance got closer, the pilots on both sides became nervous.

Distance 100.

Distance 80.

Distance 30!

Almost at the same time, the pilots of both sides locked onto their respective targets, pressed the launch button to launch the air-to-air missile, and then began to climb rapidly.

Only the radar is locking onto the target and providing guidance for the missile.

But on the side of the 8th convoy, not all planes fired missiles!

Qin Han is a captain pilot, a veteran of the Eighth Escort Team, if it weren't for the unexpected outbreak of war, the Eighth Escort Team would have been equipped with a new generation of Warhawk 6 at this time.

Therefore, Qin Han was very angry after learning that the enemy's speed was much higher than his own-if it wasn't for the enemy to make trouble, his car at this time was a war eagle 6 that had completely abused the enemy, so why worry about the speed not being as fast as the enemy?

Drip, drip, drip!

The alarm in the cabin sounded sharply, this is the alarm sound after being locked, Qin Han knew that the enemy had locked onto him, and the missile had been launched.

The speed of the air-to-air missile is calculated at 2600, and the distance of 30 kilometers takes about 42 seconds, and considering its own flight speed, it takes about 39 seconds and an error of 2 seconds!

After Qin Han quickly calculated his time in his mind, he gritted his teeth and let the missile lock on, and did not make evasive moves, but continued to move forward!

30 seconds to go!

20 seconds to go!

15 seconds to go!

After approaching the lowest time he predicted, Qin Han locked onto the target and pressed the launch button, and then slammed the operating lever, and while the plane flew up diagonally, he fired a number of detonating bombs.

5 seconds to go!

Qin Han didn't know if the detonating bomb was working, the piercing alarm was still ringing, he frantically made all kinds of difficult evasive actions, and even the body made a piercing rattling sound because of the violent movement, and it was simply on the verge of disintegration.

On the radar, the red dot that was chasing after him was gone!

Qin Han let out a fierce sigh.

"Hit!"

A rare double happiness is coming - the target locked by the Qin and Han radars is gone, only the thermal energy after the explosion, there is no doubt that the missile is hitting the target!

The closer the air-to-air missile is launched, the more difficult it is to avoid it, but how many pilots dare to launch it at close range like death?

Qin Han won the bet!

Open the door "boom" red!

But the situation of the entire 8th convoy was extremely bad, in the first wave of contact, 4 friendly planes were hit by bullets and exploded, while the initial results were only 2!

The formation is useless at this point, and all the planes are about to enter the chaotic battle, which is an advantage for the enemy with higher speed!

A Warhawk 4 was telling the climb at high speed, almost at an angle of 90, and the pilot was going to dive and launch the missile after a certain altitude.

After seeing that the altitude on the instrument panel had reached 13,000, the pilot was about to end the climb, when the alarm sounded sharply.

It's locked!

The pilot aimed at a radar and found that the enemy was less than 20 kilometers away from him, so he immediately calmly made evasive actions and fired a number of detonating bombs by the way.

But the lock is still there, and the radar shows a missile approaching.

The missile sped through the detoxifying zone.

Detonation failed!

The pilot hurriedly operated the plane to dive and land rapidly.

Didi Didi !!

The sirens became more shrill, and the pilot instantly turned pale and was locked again!

After all, another enemy plane on the radar, and it was approaching at a faster speed, and it was still diving like himself.

The pilot gritted his teeth, stepped on the speed to the maximum, and rushed to the ground desperately, the speed was getting faster and faster under the influence of gravity, and the pilot's amazing physique was completely black under the terrifying load.

"!"

Gritting his teeth and ignoring the black vision that represents almost death, the pilot bets that the enemy will not dare to go as crazy as himself.

The altimeter frantically alarmed because of the rapid drop in altitude, and when the sharp alarm was about to explode, the pilot pulled up the operating stick in the dark.

Get up!

Be sure to get up!

Get up!

The pilot shouted in his heart.

Rumble!

The explosion silenced all the sounds, and the rapidly diving fighter plane finally did not pull up the height, and smashed to the ground, and the huge explosion and impact sound were comparable to the explosions of several large missiles.

Rumble!

The enemy planes that followed the Imperial's fighter planes followed in less than ten seconds - when the speed of the dive is greater than a certain number, the Grim Reaper is right in front of you.

Air battles don't end with the destruction of one or two planes.

Unless one side is completely annihilated.

In order to protect the flight formation, the 8th Convoy had to desperately defend this airspace, and in the face of enemy planes with a speed much higher than them, the price of desperate defense was continuous destruction.

Of the 40 planes, 19 were destroyed in just ten minutes, and how could the remaining 21 planes survive the fatal ten minutes?

(Well, the chapter on air combat is very laborious, and the point is that I really don't understand this thing...... ）

(Continuous, make up 2 chapters, add 1 chapter!) )
