The U.S. pilot who was targeted by Sha Jin was obviously a battlefield veteran, and his escape skills had been maxed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info immediately began to run away when they sensed that something was wrong. It seems that it is a keen intuition cultivated in the long-term battle with the Ming army aviation.

After a series of maneuvers, the US pilot saw that the plane behind him was still following him. Looking at the pursuers sprayed on the cabin full of crash markers, the American pilots were frightened.

The pilots who served in the European battlefield and participated in the war know very well how terrible those ace pilots of the Ming Army are! Hurriedly turned on the afterburner again and began to make a supersonic dive in an attempt to get rid of the deadly pursuers.

The engine began to roar, and the enormous afterburner and dive speed put the American military driver under tremendous stress. Seeing that the prey that was already about to be trapped in the aiming circle suddenly accelerated and swooped away, Sha Jin smashed his fist hatefully. The fat that went to the mouth actually flew off again.

However, Sha Jin was extremely shocked by the scene that the US military jet suddenly turned off its engine while diving at high speed.

Jet engine technology in this era has just appeared and has not been put into practical use for a long time, and its technology is not yet mature. Moreover, in order to improve the performance of the Sabre so that it can fight against the fighters of the Ming army, the US military forcibly increased the power of the engine. This directly leads to the instability of engine performance. Subsequently, it is not surprising that tragedy occurred.

The engine stalled in the air and this kind of thing happened during the Sabre test flight. It's just that the front line is in dire need of new jets, forcing the US military to have no choice.

The US fighter plane that was diving was tragic, because the engine stalled and lost power, and it was impossible to change the dive line anyway. In the end, he could only swoop all the way to the end and slam directly on the ground. The pilot didn't even have the opportunity to skydive.

At this time, only Da Ming developed the most primitive rocket ejection system under Zhang Cheng's pre-prompting, which was used to save the lives of the pilots. And the American pilots don't have such a thing. They can only pray that their plane will not be hit and that there will be no mechanical failure. Because once things are under control, then they have only a dead end.

"This is really ......" Looking at a large bright flame rising from the ground, Sha Jin in the cabin shook his head slightly, and then turned his gaze to other US fighters in the sky. There are many more of them.

"Grandma's, it's so dangerous." Looking at the US fighter plane that fell directly from the sky more than 100 meters away, Wang Cheng, who was hiding in the turret of the Leopard tank, smacked his tongue vigorously. If it had hit their position directly, they would all have to be burned alive. With so much jet fuel, it is impossible for a person to stand the violent combustion.

Wang Cheng heard from a fellow soldier who served in the Army Airlines that people who burned after being contaminated with aviation fuel were not saved at all. Because it's hellfire that burns into the bones. Unless the area is small, then you make up your mind to cut the meat. Otherwise, the whole person will be doomed. If that plane had crashed into their position just now, the dozens of people he had here would have been doomed. And it's the kind that died miserably.

"It's really hilarious." The infantry on the side of the position also held their heads high and looked at the countless fighters in the sky, and they fought happily, which felt like watching a movie.

"Look, the plane from Hainan Airlines is coming!" An infantryman stretched out his hand in the direction of the coastline and shouted, "A lot." ”

The Ming Navy has more than 100 aircraft carriers, although most of the aircraft carriers have been sent south to chase the main fleet of the US Navy. However, in order to protect the landing site, they still left a lot of aircraft carriers to provide protection for the landing force. Although these aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are all old-fashioned piston engine aircraft, they can still deal with those US bombers.

As the fighters on both sides continued to fall, the battle on the ground soon began.

'Whoosh~~~' Listening to this familiar voice, Wang Cheng and the others, who were still watching the excitement, suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly fled into their respective anti-artillery holes. Wang Cheng went straight back into the turret of his tank.

"Boom, boom~~~" A series of dense shelling covered the entire town of Dana Point. Flying debris and clouds of dust and fire lit up the sky. When viewed from the sky, the ground is as lively as a boiling pot.

"Blue Arrow Team Three, Blue Arrow Team Three Please answer when you hear it." Sha Jin in the sky looked at the smoke rising from the rear of the US military positions in the distance, and loudly ordered the small but dozens of bomber units in his aircraft group, "Go and kill those US artillery positions!" ”

The bomber unit, which had been hiding in the high altitude, soon roared and rushed to the US artillery position more than ten kilometers away. This distance is not small on the ground, but it is only a moment for an airplane in the sky.

Chains of bullets mixed with tracer bullets rose on the ground of the American position, and it was the anti-aircraft artillery firing at the Ming bombers in the sky. However, when the fighter unit was pinned down, it was too difficult to rely solely on ground anti-aircraft fire to deal with those elite pilots of the Ming army.

The roaring Ming Army's army air dive bomber units flew wantonly in the rain of bullets, accurately returning one bomb after another to the US artillery positions. Numerous 105 and 155 mm guns were blown up. There were even nearby ammunition trucks and ammunition stockpiles that were detonated by bombs, provoking skyrocketing explosions.

This is not the end, after the fighter units of the Ming Army and the Navy joined the battlefield, a large number of bombers also flew towards their artillery positions under the anti-aircraft fire of the US army. Compared to their colleagues in the Army Airlines, the bomber pilots of the Hainan Airlines were more accurate.

The continuous heavy bombardment and the artillery countermeasures deployed by the Ming army in the rear made the firepower preparations before the massive attack of the US troops become a bit anticlimactic. Looking at the distance in the forward command, Bradley, who was observing the battlefield, shook his head. is obviously stronger in strength, but it can't be displayed in front of the Ming army. This battle is really embarrassing.

"Leave planes and artillery alone." Shaking his head, Bradley left the artillery mirror in front of him, turned to look at the group of generals behind him, and ordered loudly, "Let the lads get on!" ”

After several days of continuous mobilization, Bradley's strength in his hands at this time has increased greatly. He also received a large amount of supplies from San Diego, which gave him plenty of confidence to launch a fierce attack.

'Squeak~~~' The sound of the heavy body of the armored vehicle crushing the earth makes people feel very harsh to listen to. On both sides of the San Diego Highway, a large number of armored vehicles of all kinds and black pressure American infantry appeared. They were surging towards the Ming army's position like a tidal wave.

The battle in the sky became more intense. The first batch of fighters from both sides were either shot down or had already returned home, and it was the follow-up troops that took over the operation. On the ground, the artillery of the Ming army was violently bombarding the attacking American troops. However, the strength of the US artillery was not weak, and the two sides quickly changed from shelling each other's positions to artillery suppression and counter-suppression.

Air support and artillery support, which had a great impact on the battlefield, were now unreliable, and the ground forces on both sides could only rely on themselves.

"Aim, don't rush." Wang Cheng whispered to his gunners inside the turret, "Aim at its frontal armor, his armor can't bear it." ”

At a distance of more than 800 meters directly in front of Wang Cheng's position, rows of US tanks of all kinds rumbled forward while firing. After completely locking on a target, Wang Cheng immediately shouted loudly, "Fire!" ”

"Boom!" The L71 88mm gun, with its extremely high rate of fire, suddenly fired a stable armor-piercing projectile that smashed into the frontal armor of a Sherman's hull in less than a second.

Overall, Sherman's performance is still good. It's just that the relatively average performance is also mediocre in a sense. When attacking, the main artillery could not penetrate the Ming tanks, and the armor could not block the penetration of the Ming army's armor-piercing shells when defending. Even maneuverability can only be considered mediocre. In this case, if you encounter the Leopard tanks of the Ming army, basically if you don't have a numerical advantage, it will be a dead end.

Unsurprisingly, the chariot that was locked by Wang Cheng was immediately pierced. Flames and smoke erupted on the spot. After another distance, the Sherman quickly stopped, and none of the armored men inside came out.

"Reload! Armor-piercing shells! After Wang Cheng saw that he had hit the target, he immediately ordered to reload loudly.

"Armor-piercing bullet one!" The burly and powerful loader quickly reloaded the shells. A few seconds later, the Leopard tank, with its slightly tuned turret, fired another armor-piercing projectile. This time another M26 heavy tank was penetrated.

An exchange of fire has already begun on all fronts. Dense fires and smoke almost enveloped the land. The Ming army used a large number of tanks, anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft guns to launch a heavy bombardment of the American armored ranks. One after another U.S. tanks were pierced and turned into piles of blazing torches.

The threat of a counterattack by the American army was not great, because the Ming positions were now basically bombed into ruins in the previous battles. The ruins are very well defended, especially against armor-piercing shells.

Wang Cheng's Leopard tank, which was hiding in the rubble, was directly facing the US attack queue because of its wide firing angle and the fact that there was nothing in front of it was directly facing the US attack queue. At least dozens of armor-piercing shells hit the Leopard tank around it. But all of them were firmly blocked by the thick ruins.

The frontal turret area of the Leopard tank is not very large, and it is not easy to accurately shoot such a large frontal armor from hundreds of meters away.

And the Leopard frontal turret armor is not ordinarily hard, it is very hard. (To be continued.) )
