Section 965 - Assault
Deserts, salt flats, fissures and salt lakes, the tallest sand dunes are only 150 meters, and there are few hiding places to hide from above.
The cockpit of the X-8 "Demon" Shape-Wing fighter has a larger field of view than all the fighters in the world, and even the cockpit needs to be lowered to see the situation outside the cockpit with much smaller visual blind spots.
This cockpit structure is the envy of various domestic aviation design institutes, which is not only a test of material science and structure, but also a challenge to processing technology.
Even the most wealthy design institutes do not have enough funds to build a second "demonic" deformed wing fighter with exactly the same performance, and only the F119-PW-100 engine and the Sayre engine cannot be obtained with money.
After turning off some special functions and self-descending combat performance, the "Demon" deformed wing fighter can still be competent for this kind of reconnaissance mission at three times the speed of sound.
Although the "Libes" transport plane's radar stealth performance is excellent, the radar stealth capability is a complete failure on the ground, and it is precisely because of its stealth performance that a blank area will conspicuously appear on the radar.
I thought that the missing target would be found quickly in the desert of India, but as the matrix blocks on the electronic map turned green after reconnaissance.
Squadron Leader "Left Hand" of "Ares" became a little anxious.
"'Dragon Knight', there are still three areas left to search, what if you still don't find the target?"
Italy no longer wants to be seen as a logistics brigade by other countries, so it would be a disappointment to see nothing in this opportunity to take the initiative.
"If you can't find the target within an hour, then you can only close the team!"
Not only the "Ares" squadron, but even Lin Mo himself still didn't gain anything, and the target seemed to disappear from the sky.
It is highly likely that the person changed direction immediately after disarming the light lens.
The previous luck can't come again and again, but the dragon knight won't give up easily.
Wrap up?
This is really bad news, and the "left hand" was about to speak, when a pilot's voice interjected.
"'Javelin' reports, Team B found something in Block 15, oh no"
Communication was abruptly interrupted, and the long plane signal in the two cursors of Team B, which represented the fighter identification signal on the electronic map, which was showing that it was on a search mission, suddenly disappeared, leaving only a lone wingman signal.
Immediately after that, another signal from Team B came in.
"Squad B is attacked, the target is confirmed, the counterattack begins to attack is completed, the battle result, the armed personnel are killed and the two are entered, the large combat weapons are gone, and the video recording of the battle is transmitted, please receive! Go to the Focused Search Program"
The wingman pilot of Team B, with a cold and emotionless voice, decisively completed a counterattack.
From the time of being attacked to the end of the counterattack, the time did not even exceed 15 seconds, and the battle began and ended quickly, making it seem like he was in a dream.
“”
Squadron Leader "Left Hand" of "Ares" was stunned for two seconds before he came back to his senses and said, "0855, what happened to the competition?" ”
He still didn't seem to believe what had just happened, it was so sudden that it didn't give him any warning.
In the blink of an eye, there were only five fighters left in the "Ares" squadron.
"Location: Mission block 15, 15:30:23 on ×, ×, ×, located at the coordinates of east longitude ×××, ××× north latitude, height 1129 meters, the leader of the B team 'Javelin' was attacked by the ground lurking armed personnel, the fighter was shot down, the attack weapon was suspected to be a directed energy type weapon, the attack process was only 5 seconds, 15:30:35 on ×, ×, ×, the wingman of the B team, 0855 completed the counterattack annihilation, killed 2 armed recruits, and the attack time took 7 seconds"
Team B's wingman pilot "0855" is completely like an old-fashioned guy, although he reports the whole process of the incident very clearly, the choice of words and sentences is cumbersome and straightforward, full of linear narrative style.
"Bastard! After Team C completed the search for Block 11, it immediately moved closer to Team B 0855 and carefully searched for Block 15, 0856! And I continue on the mission, damn it! ”
The "left hand" of the squadron leader of "Ares" smashed his fist on the cockpit cover, and his teeth itched with hatred, and he died before he could leave the division, and "Javelin", such an excellent young man, died without even a last word.
It's not that our army is incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too cunning, presumably
Those French must be gloating and laughing, it's so damning.
The "Ares" squadron had nowhere to vent its anger.
"Warning, multi-instruction recognition missed, 0856 can't recognize the last instruction! Judged to be emotionally disturbed! Exclude statement, the previous command is valid, and the search task continues. ”
The long-term pilot's "left hand" was uncontrollable and angry, but he was confusedly evaluated by the wingman pilot 0856, who was as rigid as 0855, but he did not misunderstand the command of the "left hand".
Almost simultaneously, both the "Left Hand" and the Dragon Knight received a video of the battle from Team B, showing the fighters' coordinates, altitude, and speed data in the upper right corner of the screen.
Team B was at an altitude of 1,000 meters at the time, and at 10 o'clock on the top of the sand dune, two figures suddenly turned over and revealed two figures, one holding a telescope in his hand, and the other raising a very thick weapon in his hand and aiming it at the sky.
A flash of blue-white light shot at a rapid pace, and the left side of 0855's fighter flashed red, and thick smoke and countless fragments appeared in the frame and fell downward.
Immediately after that, the picture moved at high speed, and the suddenly floating crosshair locked on the position of the two attackers on the ground, and a series of small light points next to the picture shot straight through, and I saw that the sand dune immediately fell into a dense column of sand and dust.
The "Typhoon" piloted by 0855 circled the impact point, and the debris of the recognizable species and the wreckage of the weapon that shot out a blue-white beam were scattered nearby, which should have been killed on the spot by a saturation cannon attack.
In addition to the slower response to emergencies, the counterattack process is still quite crisp and neat.
With such precision and speed, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to the average ace ace of air combat, the "Left Hand" originally thought that he had overestimated enough of the two new members of the "Ares" squadron, 0855 and 0856, but he did not expect to underestimate "them", or should they be called them.
Even Lin Mo was surprised, there was such a master in the "Ares" squadron, no wonder he could take the initiative to ask Ying to support him to complete this mission, this is not a contest between countries on the earth, but a collision of civilizations involving the fate of the current world.
"'Dragon Knight' reported that block 04, block 05, block 06, and block 07 have been searched, and 'left hand', I plan to go to block 15 to have a look."
Lin Mo immediately recognized the blue-white beam that shot down the "Javelin" on the video, and there was no doubt that this was the weapon possessed by the target he was pursuing.
Once there is a clue, he naturally refuses to let it go.
For the fight against the invaders of the Third Age and their vassals, the attitude of all countries in the world is to spare no effort to exterminate them, which has no mercy at all.
"Okay!"
The "left hand" glanced at the search area on the electronic map, and there were only three blocks left, two of which had already been searched for the most part, and he and his wingman would soon be able to complete the search for the remaining area and a half.
Before the arrival of Squadron C of the "Ares" squadron, Limmer and his fighters arrived at Block 15 ahead of schedule, and by light mirroring and) and optoelectronic distributed aperture systems, he quickly saw clearly the wreckage of the two attackers, completely fragmented and dead that could no longer die.
Even the best tactical armor is unlikely to withstand the bombardment of 20 mm or more of the guns that fighters generally have.
Judging from the video transmitted earlier, the two attackers should have been hiding under the sand, and after Team B approached, they jumped out of the sand and attacked.
One aim, one launch, such a tacit division of labor and cooperation, no wonder it can be caught off guard by a fighter in just a few seconds.
Even if the pilot can react, the fighter cannot suddenly make a very small radius evasion in the cruising state.
This kind of operation is not only difficult for the fighter to react quickly, but also easy to cause structural damage to the airframe, and even disintegrate in the air, and the huge overload force will tear the fighter structure and even the pilot's body while penetrating the airframe.
During the flight, the threat of overload force is almost always on the lookout, which also makes the two tactical skills of anticipation and slotting particularly important in the air knight battle.
The wingman of the B squad hovering over the battle site, after seeing the arrival of the "Demon" shape-wing fighter, automatically followed the left flank of the "Demon" without any instructions, a full position behind, and continued to play the role of wingman.
"'Dragon Knight', any clues?"
The "left hand", who still found nothing, asked out loud after seeing the "Dragon Knight's" cursor turn around the area 15 a few times.
"Nothing was found, I'll try fire reconnaissance! See if there's anything unusual under the sand. ”
The Dragon Knight operates the electromagnetic railgun's ammunition feeding system and begins to switch ammo types.
