Chapter 66: Veterans Don't Die

Sokovia airspace

"Freedom, freedom, this is the tower, the airspace has been cleared, you can go down 11300!"

"Roger, Tower! Here is freedom, we are falling! ”

Colonel Ma Huali sat in the driver's seat and took a satisfied sip of the coffee in his hand, which was probably the most comfortable flight of his life, without wearing an oxygen mask, nor wearing an anti-load suit, only a tight flight jacket, tactical headphones, and most importantly, even if he poured the coffee at the level of the rim of the cup, he did not have to worry about spilling.

"Call Freedom, this is Hammer One, we see you, this thing is so beautiful!" There was a sour voice over the radio, a reconnaissance and guidance team on the ground.

"Thanks for the compliment, Hammer One!" Ma Huali smiled and cut off the channel, and in the other channel, their big boss was waiting for their feedback.

"How's it going? Colonel Ma Huali? That's a lot better than your F14! ”

"With all due respect, sir, I don't feel the joy of flying in here, but it's much more comfortable than my F14!"

"And you're still complaining about the big toy?"

"I apologize to you, sir, and I'll give you two more dollars!" Although Ma Huali said this, the smug look between his eyebrows could not be hidden.

After a whole year and three shifts of all-out efforts, the first Giant Bird of Armor of the Giant God officially walked off the production line.

The steel structure, with a wingspan of 1,100 meters, is slowly propelled into the sky by eight propellers, and its all-electric propulsion makes its noise almost inaudible.

The two fusion engines inside allow the thing to fly for years, and of course, the original microwave transmission function Fisher is not left behind, and after the two fusion engines fail, two high-altitude satellites of the Titan will provide it with energy for landing at the airport or on the water.

As for weapons, Liberty is only equipped with 80 MQ101 unmanned fighters, 12 anti-aircraft missile launchers and six point defense systems, of course, the most proud of the Ordnance Giant is naturally the spherical shield covering a large area, which is a deflection barrier that instantly emits the electricity obtained by the rectifier antenna, although Dr. Muir Hayden is still researching, but this does not prevent him from copying this thing one by one.

Although it can be unmanned driving, but because of the first sortie, Fisher still arranged two groups of 8 pilots for alternative, the commander is the former Navy Colonel Ma Huali, who participated in the Gulf War, and basically flew all the US planes, he was still blaming Fisher for having a hole in his brain when he first saw the ordnance giant bird, and it was better to build a jackal that he had seen the drawings than to build this kind of flashy thing and waste money.

But when the Liberty was completed, Colonel Ma Huali changed his tone, appearance is combat effectiveness, and big is strong has become his mantra.

When the huge figure of the Liberty appeared from the clouds, the whole world was quiet, and the fleeing Sokovia refugees knelt down as they watched the giant birds swirling quietly in the sky, while the government troops and officials of Sokovia were extremely excited in their hearts, and the military, who were originally indifferent to the giant god, wanted to kneel down and hug Fisher's thigh and shout Dad, and even a group of high-level officials hurriedly let the wife and daughter who fled abroad dress up beautifully and come back to invite Fisher to the party.

As for the five permanent members of the United Nations, Britain and France are busy getting Greece out of the debt crisis, and Russia is a lot nervous, but after they pull a high-yield hydrogen bomb to the front-line airfield, they are not nervous.

As for the United States, at this moment the politicians in the United States have quarreled, the Republican Party wants to let the giant god hand over this thing, and the Democratic Party is also divided into several factions, the Morgan consortium wants to dismember the giant god, while the Boston consortium and other sub-consortiums are desperately opposed, as for the military, the commander of the Air Force and the commander of the Navy in the Ministry of Defense has been fed by the giant, and the army has not expressed an opinion, because the mud legs are not worthy, but the secretary of defense expressed his worries, but it is only worry, Because everyone is still waiting to see how powerful this thing is.

After the inspection was completely completed, the Ordnance Giant Bird moved, because it was propeller propulsion, the speed of the Ordnance Giant Bird was not too fast, only five hundred and fifty kilometers per hour, but this speed was enough for it to reach the front line in half an hour.

"Attention all, arrive in the war zone and prepare to release the drone team!" Colonel Ma Huali put down his coffee and turned his attention back to the large screen in front of him, which showed three views of the Ordnance Giant Bird, and on its right flank there were countless small cursors, which were the MQ101 unmanned attack aircraft mounted by the Ordnance Giant Bird.

"The drone team is ready, start releasing it!" As Ma Huali tapped twice on the LCD screen, dense triangular metal blocks suddenly fell below the right wing of freedom, which suddenly flipped after falling off for less than a second, and then two swept wings popped out from both sides, and after the tail jet spewed out dazzling blue flames, the MQ101 drone converted to combat form was ready to launch.

"Call HQ, Liberty is ready for battle!"

"Roger, Liberty, this is Fisher, good luck with the flag!"

The rebels on the ground who were desperately digging trenches saw the huge flying machine slowly approaching early, and the indescribable panic spread among the soldiers, and even the officers gathered together to whisper, for them, this war was too unfamiliar, first they could not rest at night due to accurate sniping from thousands of meters away, and then laser-guided artillery bombardment from more than 100 kilometers away, and they drove the temporary defense line that the migrant workers spent more than a month to build was like being trampled by giants, and the cement bunkers were blown up by the empowerment attack, The turret of the tank ambushed in the semi-sheltered fortifications flew dozens of meters away, thinking that the giant god would launch an infantry attack after dawn, and the soldiers who were terrified could only keep digging into the frozen hard ground under their feet to give themselves a little remaining security.

"What are we going to do?" An officer resisted the urge to fight his teeth and looked at the officer in front of him, and then he noticed that it seemed as if his officer's facial muscles were twitching.

"I've reported to the command and asked them to send an air force!" The front-line commander wanted to comfort and comfort his men, but after looking at his trembling hands, he gave up on this plan.

Former government airbase "Beowulf"

Stauberg picked up the pilot's helmet in front of him, the red five-pointed star on it had dimmed, as a former pilot of East Germany, he once felt that he would never have the opportunity to fly into the blue sky again in his life, but not long ago, he and a group of old friends were hired to come to this land, as a pilot, here, he saw the MiG-29 he had flown before, and he had burst out the vitality of a young man after the age of confusion, as long as he could still let himself fly, it didn't matter who he fought with!

After receiving the order from the gloomy officer, Stauberg walked out of the lounge wearing an anti-load suit and carrying a helmet, he didn't like the atmosphere here, the atmosphere of the base, the eyes of those officers, he liked the feeling of being in the sky, that kind of unrestrained.

"Your enemy is a drone carrier that may be hundreds of meters in size, and it doesn't look like it's ............armed," a bespectacled rebel officer muttered as he read his intelligence.

"No need, things in the sky are changing rapidly, and it is very likely that their escort plane is on the way, so we had better hurry up!"

With that, Stauberg stepped on the ladder to board his fighter.

Relying on prisoners of war and hired technicians, the rebels reluctantly used the MiG-29 left by the government army, plus the two Kasta2E2 early warning radars left by the previous government army, at least the take-off link was done well, and soon the MiGs of the two companies took off.

"Old man, I have a hunch that today, it could be our big day!" After climbing to an altitude of 5,000 and turning to level flight, Stauberg calmly said to his wingman.

"That should be our big day, too! Now, let's see what mess those young people have done all these years have come up with! The wingman, codenamed Heather, said with a smile.

"Yes, let's go!"

Because of the previous highest military rank, and the fact that East Germany had the most pilots, the two MiG wings of the rebels were headed by Stauberg, and the latter naturally took over the command.

"Greyhound squadron, you're in charge of getting out! Husky Squadron and Persian Cat Squadron you go northeast and turn southwest in airspace where you arrive at Airspace 2 so that if we're lucky, you can be behind the enemy and you have clouds for cover! The remaining squadrons of woodsaw and hyenas follow this team, and we face each other head-on! ”

"Roger, Blue Danube, good luck!" The huge fleet was instantly divided into three parts, and the four MiG-29s climbed to an altitude of 10,000 at great speed, and then disappeared into the clouds, leaving only four faint cloud trails.

"Sir, the satellite has spotted an enemy aircraft and confirmed that the model is MiG-29, should we open fire?" In the cockpit of the Giant Bird of Ordnance, the fire controller looked up at Ma Huali in front of him.

"MiG-29? Old friend! Ma Huali showed a nostalgic expression, and then said: "Don't fire, let the drones continue to attack the ground, we will wait for them to come!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The fire controller, who guessed what his superiors were going to do, could only say sorry in his heart to the pilots of the approaching MiG-29 who did not know what was going to happen, and then threw himself into controlling the drones attacking the ground.

On Stauberg's side, he also saw his goal in the clouds.

"That's a big beauty!"
