A confident exercise

The battle was one-sided, and the Empire did not organize any decent resistance, even though it was possible that it had already been destroyed in the first round of attacks.

The absence of decent resistance does not mean that there is no resistance, and the second attack is still very cautious.

The air is constantly searching for possible targets below, and several cities near Ear City have been reconnoitred in the early stage, and Yingcheng knows no less than Ear City.

Although Yingcheng is large, it has not found many fortifications from the air. What I saw was a crowd of people who had evacuated Yingcheng, and the crowd was very chaotic, and the people and soldiers mixed together to flee the city that was about to be destroyed.

The attack was delayed for an hour and a half, a temporary decision made by Zhang. Releasing civilians is humanitarian, and letting fear spread is the real purpose.

And letting go of the retreating soldiers is tantamount to making Yingcheng an empty city in name only. Now it's a live-fire exercise, so there's no need to be too realistic. Just look good from the performance effect, if you really kill dozens of people, he wants to explain to the heads of state.

Let them retreat! The more you withdraw, the better! How can you show your kindness if you don't withdraw?

The results of repeated investigations have already been reported to Zhang Tan.

An hour and a half is enough, at least some of the civilians can run away, and after an hour and a half, cut off the retreat of Yingcheng, no matter how many civilians there are in the city, immediately surround Yingcheng and bomb it. An hour and a half is already an extrajudicial favor.

Yingcheng has light and heavy firepower deployment, but the firepower is mainly used to deal with ground assault weapons, air defense weapons do not pose a huge threat of missiles, and the only anti-aircraft guns and portable light missiles in the imperial defense circle are some anti-aircraft guns and portable light missiles, and the power and lethality can be ignored.

However, Zhang Tan still carefully dispatched medium-sized bombardment in the early stage to carry out a tentative bombing of several key areas, and the bombing formation encountered an attack that could not reach his anti-aircraft artillery and shoulder-fired missiles.

Although the firing point was cleverly hidden, the range was insufficient to hit the bombers flying in the air.

Originally, bombers could carry out-of-theater attack weapons, and even super-heavy bombs carried by bombers, which could be equipped with flying wings to increase the attack range. But Zhang Tan was eager to test his theory, and the time required to increase the number of wings was unacceptable to him.

Since the Grand Alliance has a super-powerful air force, what's the point of attacking at close range.

Several rounds of bombardment and more than 100 sorties of bombardment have blown Yingcheng into ruins, and although it has become ruins, the remaining resistance groups still hold on to Yingcheng and refuse to retreat.

They did not even launch an assault on the encirclement of the outer coalition forces, and it is estimated that the defenders in the city were preparing to fight an urban battle with the coalition forces.

If you don't retreat and stick to Yingcheng, you can make good use of Zhang Tan's theory to attack.

The main event began, the bombing and fighter planes of the follow-up sixteen squadrons had approached the sky over Yingcheng, as if covering the sky to avoid the sun, and when they entered the vicinity of Yingcheng, many white smoke beams rose from the ground.

"Alarm! Alarm! ”

"There is an attack! There is an attack! The bomber crew roared desperately, and they used the voice system to call for help from the ground command center, hoping to get immediate fire cover to avoid being hit by a speeding missile.

The sudden alarm sounded at the same time in the command center behind him, Zhang Tan was doused with cold water, and the red emergency flashes made him wake up from the state where he was still empty.

The Imperial army is not a group of passive stakes, they do not only know how to retreat, they also deploy anti-aircraft fire.

Too light for the enemy, the flight formation is very dense. Dense formations are not conducive to air mobility, and they need to be dispersed immediately to form a battle formation.

Zhang Tan did not want to lose face, and there could be no damage in a tentative drill attack, let alone any loss on the plane.

At this time, he was not the only one watching the attack exercise, and the command system of the Grand Alliance Center and the heads of state organs of the countries participating in the war around the world were watching the joint training exercise at the same time.

If they see their country's planes and pilots losing their lives during the exercise, it will be very disadvantageous for Zhang Tan. The original passive situation will become even more precarious.

The atmosphere in the originally relaxed command center immediately became tense, and all the measures that could be mobilized were put into action. What can be done to solve the threat of bombers is a matter that the operational command cannot do.

All defensive measures are done on the spot. The command center can only provide them with all the deployment work, and the real defense depends on the reaction speed of the current command staff.

Zhang Tan was reminding the on-site commander that he needed to use all means to protect the threatened bomber formation.

From the time he received the alarm to the time he issued the order to rescue the bomber at all costs, it took only two seconds.

Two seconds have already been consumed, and if the air commander is consuming two seconds of reaction time, the missile has basically hit the target.

Too many assumptions are no longer needed to be deduced, and more than half of the planes will be shot down.

The bomber suddenly raised a threat alert, and an anti-aircraft missile was approaching the large bomber. It's not just Zhang Tan's heart, which has been hovering in mid-air.

At this time, some people had already blindfolded their hands and did not dare to look at the sudden threat, they had already bombed the key preset positions in Yingcheng, how could there still be anti-aircraft missiles.

The threat is imminent, and in the next second, everyone will see on the screen that their country's plane turns into a fireball.

Fortunately, the air commander maintained a highly vigilant mind, and although the air formation was dense, he used his own flight formation system. When threatened, immediately disperse and form a battle formation.

The electronic interception system mounted on the aircraft can be activated on its own, and numerous jamming chaff strips are spread at the same time. Interceptor and jamming missiles are fired at incoming missiles.

At the same time, the fighter made an automatic interception, using the fastest possible response to deal with the fighter plane, although some missiles were intercepted, there were still some missiles directly approaching the bomber.

Electronic suppression was already used in bomber formations, and the suppression did not work as well as it should. The missile had already locked onto the air target, and the drone took a suicidal interception and rushed towards the incoming missile.

It is no longer allowed to be stingy with drones, and the collision of drones has not changed much of the situation. Speed is the key to victory, and the speed of drones is not as fast as missiles, and the interception effect is not ideal.

Drones that can intercept missiles are basically drones that fly close to bombers.

After a series of intense operations, there were still bombers hit by missiles.

The bomber that was hit was like a salute bomb that rose into the air, and although the other planes in the formation that were hit were not affected by the shock wave of the explosion, the debris after the explosion was spreading outward rapidly.
