Chapter Forty-Nine: Midnight Air Raids

Capital Hotel ******

At the same time, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the presidential suite where the special agent team was sleeping, and everyone had already dressed and raised their guns to the door of the room, ready to pull the trigger at any time and shoot the guy who dared to trespass.

There was a heavy knock on the door, and it was the voice of the female lobby manager of the hotel: "Hurry up and get out of here, follow me into the bomb shelter!" ”

Seeing this, the members of the agent team put away their weapons, and Louis walked behind the door, disarmed the tripmine, and opened the door after eliminating the danger.

I saw the lobby manager standing at the door, looking at everyone with eager and expectant eyes: "Hurry up and follow me, it's too late to slow down!" ”

"Okay. You lead the way. Hugh led the group forward, followed in her footsteps, bypassed the elevator room, walked briskly down the safety staircase, and came to the open space of the hotel square, where dozens of tenants had gathered, anxiously waiting for someone to lead them out of danger.

"Come with me!" The lobby manager raised the microphone in his hand and announced to everyone. Then he turned and walked in the direction of the hotel's main entrance, and after two blocks of walking, they came to the door of a supermarket convenience store, and the roller shutter of a shop next to it had been lifted, revealing a long, brightly lit tunnel.

Seeing this, everyone rushed in one after another.

The special team came to the inside of the air-raid shelter, which is an empty hall of more than 1,000 square meters, with bamboo mats scattered on the ground, bottled water and bread and other relief materials stacked in the four corners.

"It's a bit of a World War II feel." Louis broke the silence. "My grandfather, a native of Berlin, often told me about the Allied air raids on Berlin in the last years of the Third Reich. Bomber battle formations, air raid sirens, fighting in the night sky, buildings collapsing in the smoke of gunpowder, panicked crowds, and bomb shelters where everyone lives are all the same as they are now. ”

Katyusha estimated the depth of the release from the ground: "It's more than twenty meters above the ground, which is enough to withstand a normal bomb attack. ”

"This was just dug and expanded on the site of the original bomb shelter, the previous one was only more than 5 meters deep, and as a result, in an air raid, all the citizens hiding here were killed." The old man who was drinking vodka on the side echoed.

"......" A feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe permeated everyone's hearts.

"It seems that the ** armed forces don't want to injure the people by mistake, and it is difficult to do it, and people are not as good as heaven." Olivia sighed.

"No matter who wins or loses a war, the majority of the dead and wounded are always the common people." The manager of the hotel Datang came over from behind and handed each person a bottle of water.

There was silence again.

Air Combat Zone ******

At this time, in the night sky of the capital...

"Firefox No. 1, No. 2, pull out the two anti-aircraft positions in front of me." The captain of the flying formation, who was on the Tu-95 bomber, gave the combat order to the two fighters.

At the same moment, two flashing red dots appeared on the fire control radars in the cockpits of the two fighters, and the two fighters immediately flipped on one side in the air, broke away from the flight formation, and swooped towards the enemy targets in front.

The anti-aircraft positions below suddenly burst into flames, and dozens of anti-aircraft guns poured dense firepower into the air, weaving into a dazzling network of fire in the night sky.

The pilots of the two MiG-35 fighters controlled the fighters to evade the black artillery fire in the air, and constantly shortened the effective range.

Suddenly, two Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missiles ignited from the missile launchers of the air defense positions and quickly rose into the air, and pounced on the two fighters with murderous vigour.

"Firefox No. 3 and No. 4, prepare to launch R77 air-to-air tracking missiles, cover our fighters, intercept Patriot missiles, and kill them for me." The commander of the flight formation gave the second combat order.

"Yes." The pilot of the Firefox No. 3 fighter locked onto the incoming Patriot missile, opened the protective buckle of the missile launch button on the control stick, and the spear-like R77 medium-range air-to-air missile mounted under the fighter plane broke away from the fighter with a long tongue of fire sprayed at the tail, tracking the Patriot 3 air defense missile that was approaching step by step in front and flew away.

The thrusters of the two missiles on both sides of the enemy drew a long straight line in the night sky, and seeing that the two straight lines were about to focus together, with a "boom", the R77 hit the target, and the Patriot 3 missile bloomed a bright fireball in the air, and it died together.

Immediately afterwards, the missiles launched by Firefox 4 came first, and also destroyed the enemy's incoming targets in a burst of fire.

At this time, Firefox 1 and 2 were close to the effective range of the AS14 air-to-surface missile, and the two pilots did not hesitate to launch the missiles under the wings of the fighters, and the four missiles rushed towards two different air defense positions, and the enemy positions turned into a sea of fire in a small mushroom cloud and a violent explosion.

"Return to the flight formation and continue to advance towards the presidential palace." The command of the flight formation ordered.

The four unsheathed fighters slowly rose into the air and returned to the left and right flanks of the Tu-95 bombers, carrying out escort missions.

At the same time, in a military camp in the capital, four US Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighters scrambled into the air and intercepted them in the direction of the ** armed fighter group.

The commander of the Firefox flight formation quickly discovered the enemy planes coming up from the fire control radar and issued a new combat order: "Give up the bombing mission, repeat, give up the bombing mission, carry out the return order, the Firefox 1 to 4 fighters, form an air combat formation, protect the bombers, do not fall in love with the war, and get out of the enemy's airspace." ”

The Firefox group reversed course in the air and headed towards the edge of the city. The four enemy planes quickly entered the operational airspace, staring at the fleeing group of fighters ahead.

A Harrier fighter plane could not wait to rush out of the flight formation on its side, rushing towards the sluggish Tu-95 bomber in front, and soon the bomber's cabin flashed red light and sirens, constantly warning the enemy plane that it had locked on and needed to get out of danger as soon as possible.

"Firefox 1, face enemy aircraft. Protect our bombers and don't give the enemy a chance. The commander commanded calmly.

"Kill it for us. Let it chase me again. The Firefox 2 pilot chimed in.

"Roger, as you wish." The Firefox No. 1 formation flew off the left flank and drew a perfect semi-circular arc in the air, relying on the maneuverability of the enemy aircraft ahead of it. Appears behind the hapless Harrier on the left.
