"It's all bad news." Alexey shook his head and said, "The collapse of the ground forces is a foregone conclusion, the 3rd Separate Artillery Brigade and the 13th Anti-Tank Brigade have been hit hard, and many heavy weapons may not be saved." The enemy's air superiority is simply too great. Not only that, but there were also many front-line generals who defected or were decapitated by ballistic missiles. If it weren't for winter, I'm afraid many of the troops would have collapsed, and the optimistic thing is that the 42nd Panzer Division did not have many losses because it was well hidden. ”

"yes, it's a complete mess." At this time, the staff officer next to him couldn't help but sigh.

"And that's not the worst." Wei Dun suddenly frowned.

"What's worse?" Xu Weiyang was puzzled.

"Last night we intercepted a message that the top of the fortress group tried to apply to the Star Alliance to launch a nuclear weapon, although this information was refuted, but the possibility of the commander of the fortress group forcibly launching a nuclear bomb cannot be ruled out."

"Forced launch?" Xu Weiyang narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

"Although the backup silos of each fortress are usually mothballed, once they are authorized or lose contact with the Star Alliance General Headquarters in an emergency, the fortress commander has the authority to launch emergencies."

"It seems that our plan is imperative." Xu Weiyang pondered.

"That's right, this plan is precisely to prevent the enemy from using nuclear weapons, and your plan is relatively tight, and it is likely to pass."

"No wonder it's a propositional essay, it's aimed at this place from the beginning." Xu Weiyang couldn't help but sigh.

"Almost, now our time can only be calculated in days, and time is not good for us." Wei Dun scratched his head, "The headquarters should also have results in the afternoon, I'll go first." ”

Xu Weiyang watched Wei Dun leave, and then looked around and found that everyone's interest was not high.

Even in the relatively comfortable capital, rumors of an imminent end to war are hard to dispel.

Rumor has it that the border government is secretly discussing surrender with the Star Alliance, but the command is still making a last-ditch effort.

More and more people have lost the will to fight, and they feel that it would be wise to surrender in the face of the serious Covenant forces.

Obviously, the strength of the resistance cannot compete with the powerful Star Alliance.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, which is a bit of a disappointment.

From time to time, the whistling of fighter jets can be heard in the sky, and once the sound is a little louder, everyone will vigilantly probe around and watch the sky, preferring to believe that this is another attack by cruise missiles. At least after the attack, I will feel more comfortable.

After the meal, Xu Weiyang thought for a while and said to Alexei, "It's best not to approve this plan." ”

Alexei was puzzled for a moment, but looking at Xu Weiyang's sly smile that flashed, he understood a little.

Instead of waiting for approval from above, it is better to hide it from the sky and let them go straight into battle.

"Then let's do it tonight." Alexey nodded.

……

In the evening.

Eight Mosquito planes and eight Nightmare stealth strategic bombers, one high and one low, were rushing from the south to a base of the rebels in the northeast.

The timing of the air attack was chosen partly because it could use the sunset on its side to create air superiority, and partly because the Air Force had received the news that one of the rebels' special plans seemed to have been cancelled, and that a short and quick assault in the east would follow.

The Covenant forces believe that this is an excellent counter-assault operation, using the first enemy strike to inflict a deterrent effect.

Coupled with the fact that the rebels are accustomed to operating at night, and the Covenant forces are accustomed to bombing during the day, the Allies decided to take this opportunity by surprise.

It's certainly not that simple.

Squadron Leader Captain Gardell saw a large white spot on the ground on the radar from a long distance, and he knew that it was a large army unit.

The squadron slowly approached and finally locked on to the target 10 kilometers away, and the signal point remained in place. It seems that none of the rebel forces on the ground are ready for emergency evacuation.

What they have to do now is the same as in the old wars, after determining the bombing area, find a good angle, and then follow a straight line and drop bombs at high altitudes.

As for whether the ground forces are accompanied by anti-aircraft guns, they don't care at all by virtue of their altitude advantage.

"Boys, keep the altitude and get ready to bomb."

He finished and began to check the status of the weapon.

Unlike expensive ballistic missiles, the "Nightmare" stealth strategic bomber carries a 40-ton high-explosive bomb, and its flat aerodynamic shape and stealth coating are more able to evade air defense radar irradiation, and can maintain 2 times the speed of sound cruise at an altitude of 8,000, which can be said to be like a no-man's land in high-altitude areas.

Moreover, it can carry flexible types of bombs, which can carry out an unguided horizontal bombing and launch 20 "Lightning-3" surface-to-air missiles. This high tolerance for error and good flexibility of bombing quickly made it the main bomber with the highest attendance rate on Earth for the Covenant.

However, at this moment, Captain Gardel noticed several black spots suddenly appear at a low altitude not far away.

"Captain, it's 6 'Owls' and 4 'Pelicans'." The wingman said.

"Leave them alone, let the escort fleet meet them."

Not long after, the interception team led by Sheikh began to pounce on the eight "mosquito fighters" at an altitude of 3,000 meters.

The Mosquito fighter group also met it without fear, and interceptor missiles and combat missiles were fired from both sides at the same time, and a large white mist rose in the air for a while.

At this time, when Captain Gardel looked at the glowing dragon, he found that the ground was empty!

Then when he saw the scrapped containers on the snow, Captain Gardel exclaimed!

Apparently their sortie was intercepted by the enemy, even in the enemy's plan!

But now it's too late to retreat.

At this time, the cries for help of the fighter squad were heard.

"They've got an owl rushing in! Distance! ”

Captain Gardel was stunned for a moment, with a gap of two generations, an owl could actually break through into the mosquito fleet?

At the same time, after several days of intense special training, Xin Mei can now be said to be more and more fond of flying planes.

It seems that it is her innate nature to love shrimp catchers, and even if it is 15G overload, she can easily make various maneuvers.

Next, although she still has a large stack of papers to pass, the situation is urgent, and this is her first time as Sheikh's wingman, and it can be said that this is the moment that Xin Mei has been waiting for for a long time.

Xin Mei flipped through the manual, and said seriously, "Let's start with subject one first!" ”

Apparently in high spirits, she pushed the throttle valve down on the afterburner and the owl's M-8 engine spewed out a turquoise tail flame.

In the case of two missiles, Xin Mei pulled the joystick sharply, and there was a ninety-degree roll.

An S-shaped wake cloud was left in the sky, and both missiles were flashed by Xin Mei just right!

Xin Mei was a little excited while rejoicing, to be honest, she didn't know how she did it.

And the pilots of the Star Alliance were immediately dumbfounded: they had heard of bullet strokes, but they had not heard of missile strokes!

The sheikh in the back was also speechless, so he had to urge, "Everyone keep up." ”
