The Mustang fighter squadron won a hearty victory.

At least 800 or more vulture knights fell under the roar of gunfire.

Each vulture knight is a valuable asset to the army of the Desert Kingdom, and their pass rate is only a very low 20% from screening, training, drills, and then to actual combat.

It is no exaggeration to say that each vulture knight is equivalent to the same weight of gold, and it costs a lot to train every qualified knight.

However, in this battle alone, the air power of the Desert Kingdom was almost declared dead. There are three wings in total, and about 1,500 vulture knights, most of whom have fallen under the hands of the Bright Warriors.

The Twin Vulture Knights come mightily and leave desolately. Despite their natural penchant for fighting, they saw no hope of victory in this battle, and even their wing commander Kumir had died, and the only thing they could do was run with their tails between their legs, as far away as possible.

Best didn't take the squadron to continue the hunt for the remaining vulture knights, they flew high and saw far, and they had more important tasks to do.

The Mustang fighter squadron has destroyed the enemy's air power, but the ground forces of the Desert Kingdom are still driving here.

If you look down at the Taklamakan Desert from above, you can see that the oasis where the Silver Ash is located is the center, and the battlefield within 100 kilometers has been completely chaotic.

The various wings of the Northwest Front that both wanted to support as soon as possible and the guerrillas and regular armies of the Desert Kingdom frequently exchanged fire, and each unit encountered stubborn resistance more or less lightly, except for the Lionheart Legion of the Great Prince Simbak and several other strong forces of the Orc Kingdom could continue to advance to the northwest defense line, and the other troops were all stuck in their footsteps.

Of course, this does not include the other armies of Guangye.

On the map of the Taklamakan Desert, the armies of the desert kingdom converged into black lines, rushing to the northwest like ants that could not be stepped on.

The tripartite alliance did not underestimate the number of the Desert Kingdom's army from the beginning, after all, this was an away battle, the Desert Kingdom could recruit militia at any time, and the coalition army was also psychologically prepared accordingly, but until this moment, they did not know how many invisible potential forces were hidden in this land of wind and sand.

Previously, they estimated that the number of regular troops in the Desert Kingdom should be around 300,000, but now the militia with different equipment that has jumped out is almost 700,000!

In this case, it is not an exaggeration to say that all the people of the Desert Kingdom are soldiers.

These desert militias are equipped with uneven levels of equipment, using some non-sharp wood knives and machetes and worn old leather armor, but they are really familiar with the yellow sand land under their feet, and they can always find an opportunity to surprise and launch an all-round surprise attack on the various wings under the coalition army.

The harsh desert living environment has nurtured the unusually fierce temperament of these militiamen.

They profoundly implemented the combat policy of "not enough equipment, human lives will be made", this kind of combat method at any cost encounters with the same barbaric orc warriors, naturally more losses and fewer wins, but for them no matter what the result is, they can accept it.

Lost, they completed the interception mission and delayed the enemy's support.

If they win, they'll complete the mission of annihilation, and they'll be able to get enemy equipment to make themselves stronger, and they can even move on to intercept the next enemy team.

On the map of the Taklamakan Desert today, several desert militias wearing coalition equipment have approached not far from the Northwest Front.

The Lionheart Legion led by the eldest prince Simbak and the Dawning Legion led by the little prince Simba were not so coincidentally on a marching road, they had marched 30 kilometers in a hurry, and they fought several desert armies that tried to intercept them on the way, and the speed gradually slowed down, and the little prince and the eldest prince were rarely neck to neck.

From their position, the oasis outpost could already be faintly seen.

If it weren't for seeing a few dozen Mustang fighters tear the line of thousands of vulture knights to shreds, the eldest prince Simbak might have comforted himself in his heart like this: it was just a flying steel machine, no big deal.

However, reality slapped the eldest prince's handsome face.

The Bright Wild is nothing more than a poor territory in the northern provinces, how the hell did they create these terrifying monsters with infinite power?

The Grand Prince asked the dwarves of the Iron Hills, who told them that they had never made them, and that if they could mass-produce such a steel machine that could dominate the sky, their king would be able to dominate Middle-earth.

Hearing such arrogant words, the eldest prince rarely did not laugh.

The importance of air supremacy to war is self-evident, but anyone who knows a little about military knowledge knows that as long as they have air supremacy, they can wantonly strike at the enemy from a strategic high ground, and the enemy can hardly find any means of countermeasures except for being forced to defend.

It is precisely because they control the blue sky of the kingdom that they can say that they can say the same, and sometimes they can even influence the decisions made by His Majesty the King and even the temple.

The Swan Clan's air forces and the Vulture Knights have fought skirmishes on a small scale, with a battle loss of around 1.5:1, indicating that the Vulture Knights are superior to the Swan in aerial combat.

But now, those vulture knights with excellent aerial combat ability have been slaughtered under the roaring muzzle flames of those steel monsters!

What do they want to do? They have such a force that is enough to subvert the military power of the kingdom, what do they want to do? Do they want to commit treason!

The eldest prince took a deep breath: "The subordinates you recruited are impressive. ”

Simba, the little prince who was following him, of course, knew what his brother was referring to, and he replied, "When the expedition is over, I will talk to him." ”

"Tell me, my good brother, what can you do?" Simbak's tone was unrelenting: "You don't want to covet these steel machines, so that you can ask that Bright Field Lord for a few planes, so that you can expand your private army, right?"

The eldest prince waved the golden cloak behind him, narrowed his eyes and said, "After the expedition is over, I won't bother you brother." It is a matter of whether the military power of the kingdom is stable or not, I will personally let that Chang Hao come to see me, if he is not promoted, then I don't mind letting him directly face the judgment of his father and the parliament!"

The eldest prince ignored Simba and let the team speed up, watching the Mustang fighter jets whizz through the sky in the distance, and an incomparably hot fire rose in the depths of his eyes.

None of the 24 Mustang fighters were damaged, and the pilots turned their noses and flew in formation due east, gradually reducing their altitude.

Best paid attention to the instrument data on the control panel, and he knew that he and his teammates were running out of flight time.

In order to leave enough weight to carry ammunition, they refueled only half of it, and the theoretical range was only about 500 kilometers. After any aircraft enters a combat state, the rapid climbing, diving, and various tactical actions of the aircraft will increase fuel consumption, and the 500-kilometer flight and then deducting the distance to and from the airport will actually leave them not much combat time.

What's more, when all their pilots engage in aerial combat with vulture knights, they all choose to abandon the auxiliary fuel tank to reduce the load, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the agility and maneuverability of the fighter, and the combat time is further compressed.

What they have to do now is to wipe out as many ground forces as possible from the Desert Kingdom.

To the east of the Oasis outpost, a 3,800-strong regular army of the Desert Kingdom was approaching, and judging by the variety of equipment on their bodies, it was clear that they had defeated a wing of the Orc Kingdom on their way to the Oasis.

"Approach them at a low altitude, the sub-mother cluster bomb is ready to be dropped, try to find a densely populated place, we only have one chance!" Best pushed forward the joystick, and the Mustang fighter flew at an ultra-low altitude in a position of flying close to the ground, and the yellow sand formed two vortices on both sides of the fuselage and drummed endlessly.

The oncoming Desert Kingdom army had also noticed the fleet for a long time, but none of them knew how to deal with these steel monsters, so they had to charge while brazen.

Best pulls the trigger, the 20mm airborne machine gun spits deadly flames, dune after dune shuddered with the roar of the machine guns, and one desert kingdom soldier after another fell like worthless mustard.

The machine gun attack was a straight line, no matter how stupid the soldiers were, they desperately dodged to the sides, Best lost the opportunity to attack, raised his nose slightly, and the Mustang fighter whizzed over the heads of the soldiers of the desert kingdom.

"Delivery. Best exhaled lightly and pressed the button of the child bomb.

The bombs were dropped all over the black, and the rest of the pilots followed, and the soldiers of the Desert Kingdom only saw things like iron cans falling from the top of their heads, and the roar of the falling air exploded in their ears, and the fear of the unknown made them subconsciously want to escape, but it was too late.

"Boom!" Dazzling sparks exploded in the very center of the Desert Kingdom's army, and a series of dense firecrackers like the sound of firecrackers during the New Year drowned out the howling of the wind and sand, becoming the only sound that could be heard clearly on this battlefield.

Best turned his head to look through the canopy, the power of the sub-mother cluster bomb was indeed not to be underestimated, this 3,800-strong army was almost wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the yellow sand within a few hundred meters was full of stumps and broken arms, but they still had about 1,500 living forces.

Best pulled the trigger, and there was only a click, but the machine gun did not respond, indicating that the Mustang fighter had run out of ammunition.

"Holy!" Best struggled to control his emotions.

Now that their Mustang fighter squadron has run out of ammunition and is running out of fuel, their only recourse is to return to the base camp airfield to replenish fuel and ammunition, but this time and again, the brethren in the Oasis outpost are in danger!

The remnants of the Desert Kingdom army on the ground also seemed to notice that the steel monsters hovering above them no longer attacked, but instead rushed towards the Oasis outpost at a faster speed than before.

What made Best even more anxious was that within the visible range of his field of vision, more desert troops appeared, and it was a trend of the Armageddon between the two countries ahead of schedule!

Just as Best gritted his teeth and was about to return to the ship as soon as possible, his wingman suddenly flew in front of him and shook its wings from side to side.

Best suddenly looked up, and then he noticed that there were two extremely long but faint tracks in the clouds above his head, and some of the thicker clouds showed signs of being washed away by something, indicating that in addition to them, there was some unknown but flying behemoth hovering at a very high altitude.

Best suddenly became nervous, is it friend or foe?

"Best, long time no see, can you hear me?"

The best man was stupid, a familiar voice didn't know if it came from the control panel or sounded directly in his brain, the only thing he knew, this was Rigger's voice! Rigge's voice he would never be mistaken!

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot when I saw my old friend, this is the most advanced quantum communication technology, and your Mustang fighter is not equipped with this latest equipment, so I can only talk to you in one direction. A slightly meaningful voice sounded in Best's ears, and he was so angry that his teeth itched, and he remembered that Hatsuyuki had told him before that Rig might come to support the desert expedition, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Are you on the desert battlefield too? Help us! Those desert mongrels broke one of Morton's arms! Our Rangers and Frozen Throne Hussars are trapped in that oasis!" Bester roared into the air around him, regardless of whether Rig could hear him or not.

"What did you say?!" Rigge's voice of disbelief sounded in his head, followed by a brief silence, and then Rig's extremely calm voice rang out: "Roger, the ground attack will begin immediately, and our air gunboats have entered the country." ”

As Rig's words fell, the heavy clouds above Best's head were squeezed away by the huge mass that suddenly appeared, and a vanguard gunboat descended like a god!

Approaching the oasis outpost to about 25 kilometers from the Great Prince and the Little Prince are silly.

In their field of vision, a steel fortress dozens of times larger than the Mustang fighter fell from the sky, as if a whale living in the sea of clouds jumped out of the sea.

The Vanguard gunboat is a veritable fortress in the air, an absolute grim reaper hovering in the sky, and its appearance has brought Guangming Ye into a new era.

Compared to it, the Mustang fighter is like an infant baby, and the vanguard gunboat is a burly, muscular man, which is not at all the same.

With a fuselage the size of a standard football field, the Vanguard gunship is powered by proton collision fuel cells and four electromagnetic turbine fan jets on its wings to provide strong auxiliary power, allowing the Vanguard gunship to achieve vertical lifting.

The technology of proton collision fuel cell originated from a usable project discovered by the technical department of Guangmingye during a proton collision experiment.

This efficient and clean energy technology is applied to large armored units, a set of proton collision fuel cells is equivalent to a reactor, it does not need to be replaced, only regular maintenance can be operated for a long time, Guangmingye's technical department personnel gave this "long time" preliminary definition of about 20 years.

The main weapon of the Vanguard gunboat is a 120 mm proton collider, which fires not a physical shell, but a beam of protons that are accelerated to a certain extent, and these structurally unstable protons will produce a violent blasting reaction after hitting the target at high speed, so as to achieve the ability to kill a large area.

These unstable proton beams are provided by proton collision fuel cells, and as long as they are not shot endlessly, these proton "shells" are theoretically endless.

In addition to being equipped with such a mass killer that even modern technology cannot match, the Vanguard gunboat is also equipped with a conventional 25mm Annihilator chain gun, and the technicians of Guangmino prefer to call this weapon "lawnmower", because this weapon that can fire 3,000 rounds of 25mm armor-piercing rounds per minute can tear apart all lightly armored units, and in front of the "lawnmower", any living thing seems so fragile and powerless.

However, the most advanced thing about this Flying Fortress lies in the cross-era quantum communication technology carried on it.

From this moment on, Guangmingye has instant messaging technology.
