Chapter 300 Counterattack (6)

Unfamiliar fighter planes circled back and forth over the war zone, blowing up the armed aircraft units that came to support one after another into piles of burning steel garbage. On the ground, two fast chariots were mercilessly slaughtering the mechanized infantry of the 288th Armored Division.

The situation of the 1st Armored Brigade defending the No. 1 position is a bit better. The infantry and light armored vehicles scattered and retreated all over the mountains and plains. There were no pursuers behind them, only the rainbow light across the sky from time to time blasting some unlucky armored vehicles into fireballs. .

"The 288th Division is over, after the 289th Division, the 288th Division is also over!" The sweat beads from Salmu's two temples merged into a line and slid down against the base of his ears. In just 20 minutes, four long-range firepower points were connected and pulled out, and the four armored brigades of the 288th Division were almost completely wiped out.

Knock the mountain to shake the tiger? Melville and the others had planned the battle all night, and within ten minutes, they were destroyed by the enemy, killing them with one blow. Before the mountain was knocked, he gave the enemy a trick and turned his back on his back. This is not ironic!

At this time, the third row of display arrays showed the surrounding scene of the institute as the lens zoomed in. A total of 30 vehicles that looked like tanks and long-range artillery were lined up, and among the thunder and fire, rainbow beads flew towards the surroundings like blooming festival fireworks.

At 10 places south of the research institute, the 20-meter-long "Tiannv" class large-scale mine-sweeping vehicle really played Tiannv Sanhua. It's just that it was blown up and scattered into a calla lily, with the black chassis surrounded by the parts like stars.

In the 30-kilometer area from the research institute to the government army combat headquarters, fighter jets, attack planes, early warning planes, bombers, electronic attack planes, and armed helicopters are densely packed with wreckage. There are so many frames.

The armed aircraft that came to Wendenbat for support from other military regions except Rector had to be overhauled and maintained, so they were parked at the air force base in the north of the capital military region and narrowly escaped disaster.

The manned attack aircraft of the aviation combat regiments under the three armored divisions 287, 288, and 289 of the Capital Military Region were almost completely wiped out. It is necessary to know the total strength of the two armies in the entire Capital Military Region. In just one day, more than half of the army was lost, and more than 20,000 people died in battle. Such a large-scale loss, how can it be a miserable word.

The ground troops of the 287th Armored Division, except for mechanized infantry and fast light armored units, most of the heavy tanks were shot down by the opponent's tank artillery. Even those "one-horned rhinoceros reforms" equipped with new stealth armor were doomed, becoming discus billowing with smoke.

About a battalion of "Demon Hunter" armed locomotives was used as a pioneer to rush into the research institute within 10 kilometers. According to the instructions from the headquarters, after the "Tiannv" was damaged, the old-fashioned rocket-driven method of loading explosives was used to take charge of the front line. The task of minesweeping. There is no need to clear the minefields on a large scale, as long as a safe corridor with a width of 100 meters is opened.

But never thought,

Minesweeper meets minelayer. The rocket locomotive ran into the hovercraft, and 20 of the enemy's hovercraft relied on their powerful maneuverability and used the tactics of hit and run. They flew kites against a total of 60 "demon hunters" battalion. In just half a minute, a full third of the "demon hunters" were killed.

In order to kill the enemy's long-range firepower, some soldiers in the "Sabertooth Tiger" A2 reconnaissance vehicle rushed in from the poppy plantation on the West Road, avoided the bombardment of the rebel artillery, and entered the periphery of the research institute.

The vast majority of these soldiers carried anti-tank rocket launchers. Some special soldiers are even equipped with TV-guided and even sound-guided p-missiles. As long as it is possible to enter the buffer zone of the Institute 1 km away. It can cause heavy damage to the tank artillery of the rebels.

However, the footage captured by the optical camera of the "-78" reconnaissance satellite shows that this one-hundred-man team is encountering an unprecedented attack. The Grim Reaper came from the ground, 20 centimeters thick, and 1 meter long spikes drilled out of the ground, binding the 100-member team including the "Sabertooth Tiger" A2 reconnaissance vehicle into a plate of human flesh salad stirred with blood.

mines? Mine you uncle! There is only one thought in Salmu's mind today. Governor Roger is going to be unlucky, it's not the Garcia rebels who suddenly appear on his site, but the god of death dragging a long-handled sickle.

There is no way to fight this battle, simply no way to fight. Although there is an "archangel", it can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy. But... what about Professor Faraday? Throwing the mouse is not a weapon, and if the fight is continued, it is purely sending troops.

"Intelligents, gather and edit the images to get important information, and send it to the frontline combat headquarters immediately."

"Liaison officer, pick up Melville for me." Salmu frowned tightly, he couldn't go on like this anymore, it was time for this one-sided battle to come to an end.

"Yes." The liaison officer agreed, and just as he was about to pick up the frontline combat command, suddenly, the satellite operator stood up and reported loudly: "Colonel, there is an enemy plane coming towards us." At the same time, the monitor array Light and shadow flickered on the huge display screen in the middle, showing a huge satellite bird's-eye view.

"Enemy plane? Coming towards us?" Salmu was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately looked up at the big screen.

On the Rector's atmosphere reflecting the light blue halo, one, two, three, four, five... a total of 15 small black dots formed in a row, facing the light against the light, facing the space, piercing the Rector's atmosphere like a cloud-piercing swallow, Enter the dark, cold cosmic void.

"According to satellite calculations, the speed of the enemy plane is ten...sixteen Mach."

"Air... space fighter? It's actually a space fighter!" Salmu couldn't help but burst into a rude sentence. It was originally thought that the existence of these kings who dominate the sky and abuse the government air force into dogs is an armed aircraft specially designed for combat in atmospheric environments. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be dual-purpose aviation and aerospace fighters.

15 planes, just 15 planes dare to break into the space-based command platform. Is the Rector Navy a bunch of rookies?

"Order -501 and -503 to dispatch the two 'Thunder Wings' fighter squadrons. Be sure to stop those rebel fighters. In addition, turn on the close-in defense module of the missile attack satellite to provide fire cover for our fighters."

"Yes," replied the herald.

"Colonel? The connection with Colonel Melville..." the liaison officer next to him pondered.

Salmu squinted his eyes as he watched the enemy planes flying closer and closer on the central screen: "The video data is still being transmitted. As for the communication, let's not be busy. We will talk about it after we get rid of these unsightly planes."

Indeed, the rebel forces on the ground and in the air were strong enough to overwhelm Rector's army and air force. but. In the void of the universe, that is the territory of the navy. You must know that in this day and age, the gap in strength between the space navy and the planetary inland and air forces is not just a star and a half, it can be called a world of difference.

There are 200 "Thunder Wings", as well as various missile launchers. Even a combat platform for laser weapons. It is a daydream to break through the navy's air defense system with just 15 fighter jets.

Salmu is very confident, just like Melville and Waters before the war. Of course, the end...is exactly the same.

The port of a space station below the "Archangel" is slowly opened, the landing pad is stretched out, two aerospace fighter squadrons -501 and -503, a total of 48 "Thunder Wings" entered the space within 2 minutes, forming a joint attack formation. Electric fire towards the 15 Viking fighters that have entered low-altitude orbit.

"Wings of Thunder" is equipped with two small plasma thrusters. When it is flying in space, because it uses a mixed fuel mixed with No. It can stay for three to five seconds in a vacuum environment, and it looks like a thunder track from a distance. This is the origin of "Thunder Wings". certainly. If the pursuit of stealth effects, fighter fuel can be replaced by other energy sources. It's just that the fuel cost per unit mileage will be higher.

The wings of the "Thunder Wings" are equipped with multi-mode guided attack missiles, and under the fuselage is a 40-degree rapid-fire turret that can rotate 180 degrees. This is a standard weapon for fighter jets. If it is to rely on the aircraft carrier combat platform to conduct raids on ships and star ports, in addition to replacing powerful missiles, the rapid-fire turret can also be replaced with a large-caliber electromagnetic rail gun.

48s15, and various air-based defensive weapons. No matter how you look at it, this is a battle without suspense. No matter how advanced the opponent's technology is, a fighter plane is still a fighter plane, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have the ability to reverse a space war with disparity in strength like a large battleship.

indeed. The 15 Viking fighters may rely on high-performance equipment to defeat the Empire's main aerospace fighter "Thunder Wings" through close combat, kite flying, and coordinated operations. However, there are still space-based weapons around. Missile clusters, orbital cannons, large laser weapons, these are not fuel-efficient lamps.

When the distance between the Viking fighter and the "Thunder Wings" was shortened to 30, before the two sides could engage in battle, silver lights flashed on the solar panels of the two attack satellites equipped with laser weapon platforms, facing the main guns of the planet. Eight 100-caliber laser cannons slowly protrude from the surrounding honeycomb-shaped modules.

As a burst of dazzling light flashed across, 8 bright red streaks pierced the void and shot straight at the Viking fighter cluster 50 kilometers away.

The formation disintegrated in an instant, and 15 Viking fighters were like peacocks spreading their wings, dodging towards the surroundings, narrowly avoiding the long-range shooting of the satellite.

8 high-energy lasers pierced Rector's atmosphere, thermal halo effect, atmospheric turbulence and diffraction phenomenon formed a series of colorful light effects at high altitude, and the 8 lasers with a destructive atmosphere hit fields, hills, and woodlands, causing Pieces of fire.

With the end of an attack, the width of the 8 laser beams narrows, and then disappears quickly. At this moment, the second round of attacks by the space-based combat platform followed. Hundreds of multi-mode guided fish launched by three missile attack satellites and a large number of kinetic energy bombs were overwhelming, and 15 Viking fighters were attacked. snare them.

At the same time, 48 "Thunder Wings" spread out, trying to trap the enemy planes and fight a beautiful battle of encirclement and annihilation.

Facing the offensive of Rector's navy, the best way for the 15 Viking fighters is to abandon the assault formation and respond to the opponent's joint attack with a safari attitude. However, they did not do this. Instead, like moths to a flame, they plunged into the spider web formed by 48 fighter planes and laser-guided missiles.

"Is the enemy's brain out of the way? Isn't this asking for death?" A naval staff officer looked at the monitor array without blinking.

"Michelle, I don't agree with you. The rebels have always had an advantage in ground warfare. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are invincible." Another staff officer sneered: "However, this is obviously because the enemy commander was excited. He got dizzy and mistakenly thought that our space navy is just like the Rector army. It's ridiculous. Today, let's be merciful and let him see the power of the imperial navy."

"Yes, the so-called 'Celtic' holy sword refers to our space navy."

Salmu kept silent, he didn't think that the enemy's leader would lose his position because of the temporary victory. Maybe the rebels had any considerations in doing so.

But... what can they think about? The combat effectiveness of space-based combat platforms is unquestionable, just like the current 3 equipped with missile launch systems, 2 laser weapon platforms, 1 super plasma cannon, and 2 space stations containing "Thunder Wings" fighters. The combined combat power of these air-based weapons is enough to deal with half a medium-sized cruiser mixed fleet.

Everyone stared at the big screen with bated breath, and the distance between the two sides got closer and closer. 27, 24, 20...

Finally, the Viking fighter jets made a move, and 150 50 Lanzels flew out with thunder, and headed towards the opposite "Thunder Wings" with all their teeth and claws.

With the help of a powerful data link system, the satellite platform adjusts the guidance strategy in real time, and some missiles accelerate instantly. Meet the Lanzel Flying Thunder, and other missiles cooperate with the "Thunder Wings" to launch a tidal attack on the Viking fighter.

The speed of a Viking fighter jet instantly increases from Mach 16 to Mach 20. The flames at the tail of the plane swelled, and one side-spinned, throwing off three "Thunder Wings" that were approaching every step of the way, and flew to the other side with a dozen missiles. At the same time, another Viking fighter on its flight path also turned sideways, and the two sides were flying in a hedging state.

Then. Passing past the shocked gazes of Salmu and others in the command hall, when there was no time to go, the rear thrusters tilted, the flying direction changed slightly, and passed by those missiles.

The two Viking fighters are as flexible as Skyhawks. Those missiles did not have such good driving skills. Nearly 30 missiles collided into a ball, and the continuous explosions burst into a long-lasting flame in the darkness.

how can that be! how can that be! In the command hall, Salmu and others were dumbfounded. The "Celtic" glorious staff officer earlier tugged at the sleeves of the person beside him and stammered: "I...I am not dreaming. "

He has seen the scene of using narrow terrain to avoid missile attacks; he has also seen the thrilling scene of using a fast dive, and then pulling up the fighter plane at the moment it is close to the ground, luring the missile behind to hit the ground. But... It's the first time I've seen a missile evasion method like this one that tests tacit understanding, driving skills, and psychological quality.

Not only the commanders like them, even the pilots chasing the two "Thunder Wings" were dumbfounded.

It was this brief moment of stupefaction that made the god of death, who was roaring from the opposite side, grasp the opening. 7 rounds of 50 Lanzel flew across the sky, and 7 dazzling fireworks exploded in the dark space, and 7 "Thunder Wings" became scattered space junk in the blink of an eye.

The two Viking fighter jets that got rid of the threat of missiles quickly turned around, and the speed increased sharply, reaching the terrifying Mach 24. Like a hawk soaring into the sky after catching its prey in the water, it broke through the missile interception net with a blue rainbow. Spinning all the way up to the sky, it approached the two reconnaissance satellites -78 and -56 at the bottom of the 16 satellites in just a few breaths.

Boom boom boom! Flames blazed and iron filings splattered.

Twenty 50 Lanzel flying mines exploded in a straight line on the surface of the -78 satellite, and external equipment such as microwave receivers, solar panels, and anti-radiation armor were shattered into countless iron filings in the violent explosion, and then were thrown far away, surrounding the Running orbit, it hit the -56, which is tens of kilometers away, at an extremely fast speed, and wiped out countless Mars.

"Report...report that the external structure of -78 was damaged, and the armor integrity is '70'%." The operator shouted in panic.

During the report, two Viking fighter jets dropped another round of 20 50 Lanzel thunderbolts. The 50-caliber rapid-fire turret on the surface of the satellite had difficulty locking on to their figures at all, and could only chase after the buttocks of the two Viking fighters, shooting a rain of light in the dark void.

"50%!" added the operator, glancing back at the diagnostic program hastily.

"Where's the laser cannon? What are you doing? Hurry up and force them back." Salmu roared angrily.

"Come on... Colonel, the laser cannon is charging."

"A bunch of trash!"

At this time, another wave of missiles was launched from the attacking satellite, among which 120 "Harpoon" medium-sized armor-piercing missiles went straight to the two Viking fighters that were wreaking havoc on the -78's outer armor.

The "Harpoon" has a low range, but it is very explosive, and can accelerate to Mach 25 in just a few seconds. During the time when the laser weapons are recharging, they can only be relied on to drive away the 2 Viking fighters that wreak havoc. As for the rail cannon, which has a good rate of fire and power, after the Viking fighters used the -78 as a shield, they collectively chose to misfire.

The 120 "Harpoons" did put a lot of pressure on the two Viking fighters flying at Mach 20. They finally stopped attacking satellites and were forced to leave the airspace where -78 was located. (To be continued..)
