Chapter 169: Lore
Five planes slid down from the skull splints, and as you could tell from the crateged shells and crumbling tails, they were barely able to climb out of the abyss of death.
The first to disembark from the fighter plane was a lame female pilot, if it weren't for her insightful eye, she would have escaped the pursuit of the anti-aircraft missile in the first place, otherwise, like other pilots, she would have fallen into the enemy's territory.
"General... I ......"
The female pilot walked up to Hughes tremblingly, with a melancholy expression.
"Captain he ......"
"Needless to say, the five of you did a good job, at least we were able to keep part of the formation back safely, and if the entire formation crashed, then we would really suffer a loss."
Hughes patted her on the shoulder, "Go back and rest first, the medical staff will heal you later." ”
"Yes!"
The five-man team left the splint, leaving Hughes alone in a state of melancholy.
This operation was a complete failure, and he never imagined that a puppet regime supported by the Northern War Alliance would have such a powerful air defense capability, and only five of the thirty planes sent out could come back.
"Major General Hughes, please return to the general control room immediately, there is an emergency meeting to be held." There was a voice over the intercom that he didn't want to hear, and he sighed and turned to leave.
There was a deathly silence in the control room, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt more than a dozen pairs of eagle eyes staring at him, so he had to swallow his saliva and step forward.
"General." Hughes gave a military salute.
The expression on General Gauss's face was extremely cold, "The operation failed? Broadcast the video of the battle, and we will do the war analysis. ”
As the most combat-effective fleet in the world, the Seventh Fleet has always maintained its fine tradition and applied all the experience it gained in modern warfare to its armed forces.
Hughes glanced at the high-ranking military officials in the control room, his heart was a little bitter, he had never seen the war video, if it was found that the accident happened because of the light enemy after the broadcast, then his rank of major general was about to come to an end.
The eyes of the high-ranking officials were not exactly the same, at least in addition to the pain, Xius also saw the gloating expression, he pursed his lips, and turned on the screen where the battle was played.
The first view of the F35 fighter appears on the screen, and the fighter is located behind the left wing of the formation, so that the whole formation can be seen.
The plane was very smooth at first, but as the formation passed through layers of black clouds, it flew over the East China Sea, and under supersonic cruise, it soon approached its destination.
Above the wasteland, a snow-white, snow-covered land suddenly appeared a steel city, it was extremely conspicuous, like a pearl in the dark, and even by relying on the naked eye, you can see its whole picture.
"A... A city made of steel? ”
Everyone present was amazed, but that's all.
"I'm surprised, why do you need to send 30 F35s to get it done in such a city, and what's even more ridiculous is that the remaining 25 ships were all shot down." Oreolo let out a hearty laugh, seemingly unintentional, but it caused a layer of hoarfrost on Theseus's face.
He didn't know how to open his mouth in order to get himself out.
In fact, based on the information received by the surviving pilots, it is speculated that the enemy's fortress was still unharmed after several rounds of air strikes, but the aircraft formation was almost wiped out.
"Uh... This. Hughes bit his lip, "Actually, ......"
There was a deafening roar in the center of the screen, a series of firelights filled the screen, and countless small mushroom clouds swept in the air, but everyone present was stunned on the spot.
An entire formation of fighter planes dropped 180 missiles, but they exploded directly in the air during the fall, and all the missiles' trajectory was bounced off, as if they had encountered an invisible barrier, and not a single missile fell normally to the center of the base.
As if disturbed, they forcibly changed their course so that the formation ran out of ammunition and did not damage the target base in the slightest.
Although the scene was very tragic, Theseus breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, everything was answered on the screen, and he didn't have to say the result himself.
"It's... How can it be? ”
"What the hell is that?"
"An invisible barrier... Still is... An EMP capable of disabling a missile? ”
"This is impossible, even if the EMP can indeed disable the electronic equipment, it will never change the trajectory of the missile that has been locked in the bearing, it is more like an invisible wall of air that forcibly bounces the missile directly."
The generals spoke their analysis, but there was an eerie silence in the control room.
On the screen, dozens of fires shot from the base, and in just a moment, twenty-five planes were blown to pieces......
Wait a minute!
Gauss frowned, and immediately rewind the video for dozens of seconds, and everyone watched the video of the enemy's anti-aircraft missile counterattack again, and couldn't help but sweat coldly.
It wasn't a matter of luck, and God forbid, there was no such thing as God forbid, and the only reason why these five planes were able to return safely was because the enemy did not launch so many missiles!
It's as if the enemy deliberately let them go in order to bring these battle videos back to the fleet.
"This ......"
"General, what now?"
It was useless to say anything, Gauss closed his eyes, it was obvious that the enemy base was a lot higher than the Seventh Fleet in terms of air defense and counterattack capabilities, but he really couldn't understand that such a block-sized base could have such sophisticated military weapons.
What we don't have, the enemy must never have.
A modern war may set society back decades, but a single nuclear bomb can turn a block-sized military base into a nuclear crater several meters deep.
"It is clear that the enemy has completely lost sight of us, and if the Seventh Fleet does not respond, I am afraid that it will lose control of the entire western Pacific."
Gauss knew very well in his heart that the reason why the Seventh Fleet could continue to maintain it was only because the 'paradise island' of the 'Shikoku' continued to supply it with supplies.
If the fleet loses the ability to protect the four countries, then the other side will most likely terminate the contract.
"In the last century, we sent fat men and little boys to conquer Japan, this time, it is better for Medusa to destroy the puppet regime of the Northern War Alliance."
As soon as Gauss's voice fell, there was no opposition, "Okay, I'll sign the presidential decree and start the war as soon as the rainstorm passes." ”
The sky suddenly brightened, and a thunderbolt that spread directly to the surface of the sea suddenly appeared from the black clouds, followed by a deafening thunder, and the black rain poured down.
