Chapter 310: The Road to Death
The F14 fighter and the F15 are both the best of the three generations, but the F14 is a carrier-based aircraft.
One of its biggest features is that the wings can be retracted, which can save deck space to the greatest extent.
In terms of the performance of the fighter in all aspects, the F14 is the king of it.
In terms of weapons, a 20mm Gatling cannon may not be very useful against the Panzer Group, but the eight missiles carried on its plane are definitely lethal weapons.
Moreover, the jamming radar on the aircraft is even more capable of interfering with the flight trajectory of the enemy's missiles.
Under normal circumstances, the main combat skills of the F14 are anti-air, which is relatively rare when facing ground forces completely.
Originally, most of the missiles it carried were air-to-air missiles, such as missiles such as the Sidewinder and the Sparrow.
However, this missile can be adjusted, and this time on the mission, they are carrying air-to-surface missiles.
Departing from the sea not far away, in less than two minutes, he has already arrived in the sky above Dicui Island.
This is the Ring Road, and the armored group of Dicui Island is crossing it and galloping straight to the villa area.
The arrival of the F14 battle group did not even attract the attention of the armored forces.
The sky was dark at night, but a large number of flares rose from time to time over the battle area of the villa area ahead.
Flying in this flickering environment makes this group of F14s look like ghosts.
On the first fighter plane, the pilot looked at the light spots that gradually appeared in front of him on the radar screen.
Each point of light represents a car.
The pilot picked up the walkie-talkie and broadcast his current location to the mothership.
"Dong Dong Yu call the command center, Dong Dong Yu call the command center, I am close to the air above the target location, I am expected to contact in sixty seconds, please instruct."
Soon, a reply came from the aircraft carrier.
"All units, please note that your first formation does not carry out the first wave of strike missions, and does a lighthouse-like hovering over the target area, and there is still air force on Dicui Island, you must ensure that the first wave of strikes is carried out smoothly, and after the first wave of strikes, the second formation will exchange tasks with you, and so on."
"Understood, Roger!"
"Thirty seconds later, attack!"
The command of the aircraft carrier gave the order, and the carrier-based aircraft began to disperse.
Five F14s broke away from the large group and began to turn around, and over the combat area, they performed a lighthouse-like circle.
The so-called lighthouse hovering is when the aircraft flies around a fixed target.
This kind of action can be used to attack or to be on alert, and the generally applicable aircraft are some old-fashioned fighter planes, gunboats, and other models.
For example, the F14 is a third-generation aircraft, because the speed is too fast, the circle used to do this kind of hovering is larger, and because of the missiles, this kind of hovering is not much done, and it is basically used for cruising and vigilance.
Now their task is to be vigilant.
The air force on Dicui Island has suffered heavy losses, but it is not completely wiped out, and it is possible that they may still come, so for the sake of battlefield safety, it is necessary to be vigilant.
The five fighter planes circled as a lighthouse, turning this area into a restricted area, and it was impossible for the air force on Dicui Island to intervene.
The thirty fighters behind it, as well as the seven Apache that followed, were all thrown into the strike group.
The reporters of Dicuidao TV were not only following the footage of their large army attacking the villa area, but also a drone was filming the march of the armored troops.
In this situation, they are not worried about leaking secrets, because in their opinion, there are almost no secrets between each other at the moment, and everyone's strength is there.
Therefore, the task of following the armored forces is also being carried out simultaneously, and the TV also uses picture-in-picture technology to separate a small screen to film the march of the armored forces.
The people on Dicui Island are looking at two pictures almost at the same time.
The frontal battle in the villa area has begun, and in the face of the fierce gathering fire of the Light Chasers, their troops are advancing to attack one after another.
This kind of real war scene is very different from watching a TV series.
The kind of picture of machine guns roaring on TV and the mass fall of the enemy to the ground is almost impossible in real combat.
When the opponent has enough firepower, it is a fool's thing to charge, and everyone needs to make a detour, find cover, and save themselves as much as possible, and then attack the enemy.
If it is in a complex environment, the so-called precision shooting is rare.
The people on the other side are not zombies, they are more flexible, they know how to grasp the fighter plane, and it is not easy to go to the battlefield, and it is generally suppressed by firepower.
Raise the gun and shoot in the general direction to suppress it, creating opportunities for snipers, rocket launchers, etc., that is what ordinary soldiers should do.
Often a field battle, street fight or something, it is possible to fight for a few days, or even ten days.
The Light Chaser Army occupied a favorable position and began to defend the battle, while the Dicui Island side was overwhelming and began to attack with the advantage of numbers.
However, when the battle first began, the scene did not look intense.
The soldiers of Dicui Island also advanced in a roundabout way, moving forward slowly, and would not charge easily and recklessly.
Although the Light Chasers were landing, it was too dangerous to charge, and they were still waiting for the armored troops to come, and the infantry and combat vehicles were fighting together.
So the gunshots on the screen kept ringing, but the progress of the battle did not speed up in the slightest, and for a long time, the large army of Dicui Island was spinning around the edge of the villa area.
This delay in making progress made the corners of the mouths of the people of Dicui Island foam.
They all hoped that the armored forces would arrive as soon as possible, launch an attack with the infantry, and wipe out the people of the Light Chasers as soon as possible.
So many people adjust the main screen to the side of the armored forces, even if they don't adjust it, they are always paying attention.
Just as they were looking at the armored troops, something unexpected happened.
What they saw was the perspective of the TV station's drone, looking down from a high altitude and watching the steel dragon advance.
And suddenly, a flash of fire crossed the TV screen!
It was a missile with flames in its tail that fell from the sky at breakneck speed!
The first tank, located in front of the troops, was immediately devastated!
Bang~~~!
A flame burst into the sky with the explosion, and the rising flames seemed to make the people in front of the TV screen feel the temperature as if they were watching a 3D movie.
This sudden change made many people in front of the TV instinctively lean back and look stunned!
But their astonishment will soon turn into shock and collapse!
Whoosh~~!
Missiles fell from the sky and began to bombard the armored clusters on the ground.
Whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle, it is simply powerless to resist in the face of such an air-to-surface missile attack.
A tank was blown up in a big explosion, and on the armored car behind, the shooter of the anti-aircraft machine gun barely got out of the skylight, trying to set up the machine gun and shoot at the enemy in the sky.
But soon he despaired.
Because it was not helicopters that came, but fighters!
And they weren't the old bomb-throwing fighters at all, they were ridiculously fast, and by the time you saw it, it had already flown away.
That kind of speed of about Mach 2.4 per hour is not at all something that an anti-aircraft machine gun can deal with.
They are far away in the sky, and when a missile comes down, it will destroy a combat vehicle immediately, and without the protection of surface-to-air missile vehicles, they are completely targeted.
The soldier pulled the trigger in despair, and the bullet shot into the sky in vain and weakly, not even touching a single hair of the fighter.
A missile fell from the sky and destroyed the armored car.
In the face of the sudden blow, the armored forces were completely stunned.
They were unable to effectively return fire to the enemy, so they could only turn the car around in a panic and try to return the way they came.
Because the front had become a sea of fire, many wrecked cars stopped on the road, blocking the way of the chariots behind.
So they could only turn backwards, trying to re-enter the interior of the island, using the terrain to avoid enemy aircraft.
At this time, something desperate happened again.
Seven Apache helicopter gunships, which appeared in the tail of the armored unit, fired missiles from a distance as soon as they appeared.
Hellfire's missiles are designed to attack armored targets on the ground, one at a time, under precise laser guidance, without exception.
In terms of lethality and efficiency against ground-armored targets alone, the Apache is still above the F14.
The helicopters hovered far at a height, beyond the range of their anti-aircraft machine guns, while their missiles were able to attack the enemy with ease.
The lack of missiles on these tanks and combat vehicles on Dicui Island is their fatal wound, and it is an irreparable gap.
The destruction of the tanks in the rear was not the deadliest, but the deadliest thing was that they blocked the way back.
At this moment, this armored unit could not advance or retreat, and it became a turtle in an urn on the highway around the island, in the area near this beach.
Although they have more than 1,000 combat units, these dozens of fighters are dimensionality reduction strikes that they cannot resist.
Missiles fell from the sky, flames bloomed in the night, and the armored clusters, which had nowhere to escape, even fled to the beach and to the sea.
But no matter where they fled, they couldn't avoid the soul-piercing missile, and this unequal battle completely collapsed the armored group on Dicui Island.
The soldiers began to flee from the tank, running on their own feet, after all, in their opinion, the fighters of the Light Chasers would not waste a precious missile for the sake of a small shrimp like themselves.
And the fact is that the fighters simply ignored the fleeing soldiers, they just caught the tanks and armored vehicles and hit them.
Seeing this, more and more soldiers began to abandon their cars and flee, and even soon formed a torrent of defeated soldiers.
And those armored vehicles and tanks that were regarded as life-saving straws and attacked the vanguard by the villa area were discarded everywhere like garbage, and became the target of the light-chasing army.
However, the Guang Chaser Army did not strike at those unmanned vehicles, so they stared at the manned vehicles and chased after them.
The explosions continued one after another, and the flames of war reflected half the sky.
The smoke of gunpowder shrouded the earth, and a road more than ten kilometers long became a veritable road of death!
