Chapter 469: Forced Attack
Before the fighter jet group that came to intercept noticed our plane, they first spotted a large black spot and rushed towards them. Then the radar warning sounded. Only then did these people realize that it was a missile.
The missiles encountered by these intercepting fighter jets were all launched by Plague, because our fighter jets have not yet entered attack range. In order to match the dragons' ultra-long detection range, the missiles they carry are also special ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles, which are very suitable for use by dragons like Lucky and others. This is also the reason why the American rebels discovered the missiles first, because at this time the fleet had not yet entered the combat range, but luckily their missiles flew out first.
Now that you have discovered a missile, of course you have to dodge it. The incoming planes flew around in the sky, dodged the pursuing missiles, and then gathered together again. It turned out that more than half of the planes were missing, and the remaining planes were less than twenty. You know, there were more than sixty of them when they came out.
Before the remaining aircraft could lament such tragic losses, they suddenly discovered that the radar warning was still sounding. When they turned around, they discovered that the missiles that had been dodged had turned around and flown back. Generally speaking, once a missile launched head-on has flown over its head, it will be difficult to pursue the target, because the speed of the missile itself is not much faster than that of the aircraft. The relative distance between the aircraft and the missile has already been greatly increased by the time it takes a turn in the air. If it is too big, by the time the missile turns around and comes back, there is usually no suitable pursuit distance. And because the distance increases, it becomes quite troublesome to re-lock the target. Because of this, missiles launched head-on can only rely on the first round of contact to hit the enemy. However, fortunately, they are not carrying ordinary missiles. Although this thing is not necessarily more powerful than conventional anti-air missiles, it has two characteristics that ordinary air-to-air missiles absolutely do not have. That's its range and second-stage strike capability.
General air-to-air missiles are mainly divided into two types: long-range and short-range. Long-range models are mostly active radar ground-seeking and infrared thermal terminal guidance. Of course, there are also types that use inertial guidance combined with infrared terminal guidance. As for short-range missiles, it is a little more complicated. Generally, infrared guidance is the mainstream, but there are also wire guidance, laser guidance and radar terminal guidance, and some even have multi-stage hybrid guidance types, which can be said to be diverse.
These long-range missiles have a very long strike range. So generally there is more fuel, so the projectile will be larger, so the flexibility will be slightly less, and turning and other things will be slower. On the other hand, short-range missiles do not have much fuel, and infrared guidance is usually smaller than radar guidance. Therefore, short-range missiles generally have very high flexibility and acceleration, but the pursuit time will not be too long. After all, there is only so much fuel, and it will stall if it flies too far.
As for our air-to-air missiles, that is a completely different model.
First, because our missiles are specialized and fortunately they are large. Therefore, there is no need to consider the load issue, and the design of the missile can naturally be arbitrary. Considering their ultra-long detection range, the long-range missiles they are equipped with are a very special two-stage air-to-air missile. Generally speaking, air-to-air missiles are rarely segmented, except for rockets used to launch satellites. Missiles flying in the atmosphere are almost not segmented. But luckily they used this kind of missile. A two-stage missile. This missile has a smaller front section than ordinary close-range combat missiles, and a thick tail section at the back.
When this missile is launched, the tail section accelerates the missile to seven times the speed of sound and then rushes towards the target. If a head-on strike misses. Then it will not throw away the thick tail thruster, but will slow down to three times the speed of sound, and then follow the aircraft slowly and slowly. You must know that the pilot is highly nervous during the pursuit and consumes a lot of physical energy. As long as this high-intensity pursuit and dodge lasts for more than one minute, the pilot may not even be able to walk after getting off the plane. Of course, this usually does not happen, because the flight time of the air-to-air missile itself is not long, and the results are usually divided into results in more than ten seconds. Either the missile is lost or it has been hit, so it generally does not chase for that long. time.
However, because our missiles will slow down in pursuit, the pursuit time will be lengthened, but it will be harder to get rid of. And our missile will not just keep flying slowly behind us. It will keep flying slowly like this until the terminal fuel is exhausted. But once the terminal fuel is exhausted, the missile will immediately transform and enter. Rage mode.
Yes, we call this the second stage transformation. Once this kind of missile uses up its secondary propeller, it will throw away the thick secondary propeller and then instantly transform into an ultra-light short-range combat missile. The weight of the transformed missile will drop to one-third of its original size, and the remaining section will no longer fly slowly at three times the speed of sound. Instead, it will instantly enter violent mode, and its speed will skyrocket from three times the speed of sound to eight times. times the speed of sound.
Due to the reduced weight of this smaller missile, the flexibility will increase significantly. At the same time, due to the sudden increase in speed, the pilot in front will have difficulty adapting for a while and will most likely be killed immediately. Even if he is lucky enough to escape, he has already continued to maneuver. The pilot's physical fitness has almost reached its limit after having been for a long time. After that, it is impossible to use super flexible fighting bombs, and he will usually be shot down in less than five seconds.
These rebel pilots just encountered this kind of missile. They thought they had escaped, but in fact it was just because the missiles missed the head-on strike and actively slowed down. A missile with three times the speed of sound is only slightly faster than an airplane, but the one slowly chasing behind it is full of pressure. After all, no one can be happy with a tracking missile behind them.
Although the rebel pilots who had successfully dodged an attack became nervous again, because they had already dodged once, they calmed down this time. Everyone began to show off their skills. Suddenly, the remaining dozen fighter jets It was like an air show blossoming in all directions in the sky, and various interference bombs were thrown everywhere, looking like a fireworks display.
However, no matter how they circled, those missiles stared at them like stubborn donkeys, flying behind them at a super slow speed. Although they never caught up with them, they kept clinging to them. This feeling of always being targeted forced the pilots to work harder to show off their maneuvers, and various extreme moves were performed one after another, but was it effective...the missiles were still chasing them anyway.
About thirty seconds later. The pilot of one plane was almost out of strength due to continuous maneuvers. His reaction was wrong and he was overtaken by a missile that had not yet turned on the violent mode. The proximity fuse was activated, the missile exploded instantly, and the aircraft in front immediately exploded into a large fireball. However, the pilot ejected in time and was not martyred.
As a plane explodes. The other pilots were even more nervous, and then something worse happened. Those huge missiles actually began to separate out their huge tail thrusters, and then the speed increased sharply. In an instant, more than a dozen fireballs were seen bursting out in the sky. The pilots inside even had time to parachute and were fighting with themselves. The plane flew to heaven together.
The second-stage acceleration of this kind of missile is so sudden that the pilot in front usually cannot get out of the way, so it is absolutely normal to be hit. But even those who escape disaster are not always lucky. Because the missiles in berserk mode are in hot pursuit. Previously, missiles traveling at three times the speed of sound had already caused pilots to panic, but now they suddenly reached eight times the speed of sound. These pilots, no matter how skilled they were, could not withstand it. The remaining few people finally ejected together with a tacit understanding, and then their plane was completely blown up within a second or two after they flew out of the cabin.
The American pilots on the escort fighter jets responsible for intercepting the rebel planes all looked at their radar screens dumbfounded. When they were asked to intercept the enemy planes just now, they thought there was going to be a big war. After all, the opponent is also the US Air Force. The equipment and training intensity of both sides are the same, so the fight will naturally be quite fierce. However, they had not flown very far when they discovered a large number of missiles coming from their own formation. He actually surpassed them and flew to the front. At first, I was still wondering why our side launched missiles so early, but the more surprising thing is yet to come. Those missiles actually wiped out all the aircraft on the opposite side after one strike. The hit rate is as high as 100%, and this efficiency is so eye-catching.
All the enemies were finished, and the fleet that had no enemies and was forced to return found our dragons only when they came back. The American pilots were surprised for a while when they saw these behemoths before, but now they are completely shocked. Because they saw the missile pylons that fell from the sky on those dragons, and the remaining missiles seemed to be exactly the same as the missiles that flew over before, which meant that the ones that had just shot down those planes were these dragons that they considered absolutely useless. .
From a modern pilot's perspective, it's normal to look down on dragons. Of course, everyone knows that a dragon can definitely withstand beatings better than an airplane, but fighter jets are not for hand-to-hand combat. The power of an airplane lies in its speed and strike range rather than its close combat capabilities. Although they all knew that these giant dragons would definitely kill them if they got close, they never thought of getting close at all. In their imagination, if they needed to fight these dragons, they would definitely throw the missiles away from a long distance and run away. No matter how strong the dragon is, it can't withstand the missiles, and if they don't get close to the dragon, they can't defeat them. With such an idea, who is afraid of these big lizards?
However, now they are really afraid, because they have just discovered a mistake, that is, the strike capability of fighter jets comes from missiles, and why can't airplanes carry missile dragons? Although it looks like a living creature, since soldiers can launch shoulder-fired missiles, what's wrong with a dragon as big as a dragon carrying an air-to-air missile?
After thinking about it, these pilots finally understood that whether these big guys were on the ground or in the air, they could completely torture them!
After the flight formation returned, it did not return to the fleet, but flew out first because we had already caught up with the rebels in front. The other party ran for an hour, and it took us more than half an hour to catch up. It can be seen that these guys are very capable of running. You must know that ours is not a civilian airliner. It has already flown quite far in half an hour. Of course, no matter how fast a car runs, it is no match for an airplane. This is for sure.
We were organizing our equipment and preparing to go out to fight, when suddenly we heard Terry's voice. "Attention everyone, I am Terry, the American representative. The rebels are right in front of us. Fighters will go over and bomb in a while. However, we don't have many planes, and we don't bring many anti-ground weapons, so our lethality is limited and we can only make some Chaos, the final battle still needs to be solved by ourselves. In addition, according to the current situation, once we start a war, the opponent will definitely move to the nearest city. So we may face urban street fighting. I know that we are all elites, all kinds of Street fighting will definitely not be difficult for you, but what I want to say is that everyone should pay attention to minimizing civilian casualties, and if enemy personnel take hostages... please try to ensure the safety of the hostages if possible."
There was a slight silence in the parliament hall on the channel, and then the Italian and Indian commandos took the lead in saying that they would pay attention to the hostage issue, and then the Japanese and Korean commandos and our side also expressed their efforts to pay attention.
What Terry just said was actually very condescending. But there is nothing we can do about it. The war zone is in the United States, and they are representatives of the United States. If they don't pay attention, we won't care. At least in my opinion, if Terry hadn't said this, at least our side would have just jumped on someone when they saw it, and wouldn't have cared about who they were. Unless they might pay attention when they see children, other men and women probably won't survive. But now that Terry has said this, of course we can only try to be careful. But after all, Terry himself is a member of the special forces team. He knew that there were times when there was nothing we could do in battle, so he didn't say what we had to do, but just asked us to be careful. It is precisely because he said that he is easy-going that we will stop. Otherwise, with the temper of these elites from various countries here, they will not offend you.
After reuniting with the transport aircraft, the fighter group immediately turned and flew towards the rebel convoy in front. Because the war is about to begin. Shushan is a transport aircraft, not a bomber, and its low-altitude penetration capability is very average, so we completed the preparations in advance and ran directly to Lucky's backs. After giving up, let "Shushan" go back first. Anyway, the transport plane accompanying him would only be a burden.
Standing on Lucky's head activates the zoom system within the pupils. In an instant, the distant scene was brought closer to me. Although it is now past four in the morning local time in the United States and it is still dark, my eyes can accept a variety of light waves and will naturally not be affected by the dark night. I can see the scene in the distance clearly.
It was a quite large convoy running on the intercontinental highway, but what surprised me was that there was a missile site on both sides of the convoy. Although they were all mobile launch vehicles, they were all in deployment mode now, and the most important thing was that The huge vehicle-mounted radar has been deployed and is being activated.
"Holy shit!" I quickly switched to the flight formation channel. "Pull up quickly, there is a missile position below you."
The pilots immediately began to climb when they heard my voice, but just a few seconds later, a flame suddenly burst out from the position below. Missiles soared into the sky with orange tail flames, and then headed towards the fighter jets above. Chased him.
The commanders in the fleet yelled for each aircraft to dodge, but there were too many missiles flying randomly. On average, each aircraft had three to four missiles to take care of them. These people dodged one missile but could not dodge so many. In the end, the sky It was like setting off fireworks and a large fireball exploded, and then I saw umbrella flowers blooming. However, the result calculated by my electronic counter was three less, which means that the pilots of the three planes were missing. Can jump out.
"Lucky, you and Plague go down and clear out the anti-aircraft weapons first. We're going to airborne over the opponent's convoy."
"Understood." Lucky quickly broke away from the formation with Plague and accelerated towards the front. Although we here are riding on the remaining dragons and are not afraid of the anti-aircraft missiles below, commandos from other countries are riding in transport aircraft, which cannot withstand anti-aircraft missiles.
After talking to Lucky, I immediately contacted Terry again. "Terry, do you still have contact with the Pentagon?"
"Of course." Terry said matter-of-factly: "Our actions require the command and authorization of the Pentagon, and of course we need to keep in touch."
"Then explain the situation and cut off contact immediately. There is a leak from the Pentagon. The other party's anti-aircraft missiles were extracted and deployed before we showed up, and the other party knows our action information."
"What?" Terry was surprised for a moment, then reacted, and quickly contacted the Pentagon to inform him of the leak. He then said that they would take the initiative to cut off contact, and then cut off the message regardless of the other party's reply.
Without the contact from the Pentagon, at least the enemy will not know our specific actions. This is definitely good for us. At least we no longer have to worry about stepping on traps like before. If we didn't let the enemy know our action information, those planes just now would never have suffered such heavy losses. After all, the speed of fighter jets is so fast. If the opponent does not deploy radar and missile vehicles in advance, it will definitely be too late to intercept us when we appear on the opponent's radar screen. Therefore, the situation just now was entirely due to losses caused by intelligence leaks.
Knocked out our fighter jet in one go. The people in the anti-aircraft missile vehicle position below cheered. Looking at the big fireball exploding in the sky, these people started shouting excitedly while putting away the launcher, preparing to move with the convoy. However, just when their radar was about to switch to mobile mode, suddenly the radar operator saw a shadow on the screen that flashed and disappeared. At first he thought he had seen it wrong. But after looking carefully for a while, I suddenly found that the shadow appeared again, and also disappeared after a flash.
Now he was sure that this was not an hallucination, so he immediately shouted to people outside not to put away the radar antenna, then adjusted the radar transmitting device to manual mode, and then used the guitar keyboard to control the frequency hopping detection, and the result was that every time he switched Two obvious phantoms can be seen at the moment of frequency, and judging from the routes of these two phantoms. This is obviously what he came for.
"Don't put away the anti-aircraft missiles in a hurry. An unidentified aircraft is approaching." The radar operator picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.
The officer in the team quickly ran over and asked, "What's going on?"
The radar operator directly showed him the screen, and then manually switched the frequency. As a result, the commander immediately saw the flashing outline on the screen.
"Damn, it's a stealth unit." The commander shouted: "All anti-aircraft missiles switched to infrared active seeking. The enemy has stealth fighters, and the radar is invalid."
Just after the commander shouted, the radar operator was heard shouting: "It's too late, that thing is coming down."
"What?" After hearing this, the commander didn't care about the communicator, and directly opened the door and stretched his head to see. As a result, he saw a huge black shadow crashing to the ground with a strong wind. As soon as the thing landed, it brought up a strong wind and blew all the people on the ground away. Then the thing suddenly turned its head and sprayed out a bright blue flame. The range of the flames was actually as high as fifty meters, instantly igniting a large area around them, and all the missile vehicles and radar command vehicles were engulfed in flames.
With the help of the firelight, the commander finally saw clearly what was in front of him, but he still didn't believe his eyes. Because he felt that it looked like a giant dragon, and such a thing should not exist at all. The commander felt that he must be having a nightmare, but no matter how hard he shook his head, he couldn't wake up.
Unlike the Plague, which landed directly, Lucky did not land at all. It slid directly over the position at low altitude. Its huge head sprayed deadly flames, leaving a wall of fire in the enemy's air defense position, instantly turning the entire air defense position into a A sea of fire.
"Damn it, who can tell me what's going on? Are we filming a monster horror movie?" The officer had no idea what to say. His level is not high and he does not know the existence of our dragon clan, so he cannot react at all for a while.
Plague didn't care whether this guy could accept it or not. He ignited the nearby missile positions with a puff of dragon flame and immediately rushed towards the missile vehicles in front that were not ignited. Some soldiers on the ground who reacted began to fight back, but the bullets from the assault rifles hit Plague as if they were hitting a tank. The sparks were all bounced away, and they were not even able to cause Plague to feel pain. In fact, it's not very comfortable to be attacked by so many people, but it's not painful, it's itchy. Yes, it's itchy. Now Plague feels as if someone is tickling him. He feels numb all over his body and always wants to be scratched.
Ignoring the rifle fire on the ground, Plague walked up to a radar command vehicle mounted on a tank chassis, got up and swatted the thing away with a paw. At the moment of the radar antenna, the car rolled over and flew out for more than ten meters before hitting a missile launcher with a bang, causing a big explosion. However, Lucky had already used its tail to blast another launch platform, and now it was targeting it again. A wheeled launch vehicle is folding the launcher while starting to prepare for escape.
Although the transfer speed of this wheeled vehicle is very fast, it is still not as fast as the plague. Plague rushed over and bit the middle part of the car, and then threw it more than twenty meters away with a flick of its head. It rolled and exploded into a big fireball. The surrounding soldiers opened fire at Plague frantically, and even fired several shots from the car. and shoulder-fired missiles joined the attack, but the effect was still zero. The Plague completely ignored these attacks and used the most primitive method to quickly and decisively kill each launch vehicle.
"The suppression of the air defense position is complete, you can pass by." Lucky reported to me in the air.
I directly told the transport group to speed up and rush over, preparing to intercept the opponent before they entered the town in front. After all, if we fought in the wild, there would be no hostage problem, and we could pour out firepower as much as we wanted. But if we enter the city, it will be terrible. We must pay attention to accidental injuries in everything we do, which will have a great impact on our combat effectiveness.
We are accelerating desperately to prevent the other party from entering the city in front, but the other party is not stupid, of course, we are also accelerating desperately. In fact, we are not far from the outskirts of the city now. Even the opponent's vanguard has actually reached the outskirts of the city, but our plan is to just stop the opponent's large force. As for the vanguard, there are not many people anyway, so entering will have little impact.
Under the desperate acceleration of both of us, the city quickly came into view. I even saw the roads illuminated by street lights in the city, and at this time, a faint light appeared in the distant sky. It's past four o'clock now, and the sky is about to get dark, which is not a good thing for us.
If it is night and everyone is at home, our battle will not affect too many people. But during the day when everyone is out, unintentional injuries are inevitable. Moreover, we are all special operations forces here. Terry and the others all have night vision goggles, but we have night vision directly, so the night is like day to us, and although the other party must also have night vision goggles, But they will definitely not be able to take care of everyone like us, and the rebels are not a night fighting force. Although they should be trained in night fighting, they are certainly not as good as us. Therefore, the dark night not only has no effect on us, but has a bonus effect. But as soon as the day breaks, our advantage disappears, and the large number of ordinary citizens who appear is definitely a trouble.
"Can we intercept the opponent in time to enter the city?" I asked the crystal under me.
Crystal turned back and said: "It's probably too late. At most, it can intercept half of the back."
After hearing what Crystal said, I thought about it and contacted Terry again, and then talked about the current situation. Terry also reacted quickly and said quickly: "If it doesn't work out, let's leave some people to block the follow-up troops outside the city, and then let the rest go into the city to fight. Is that okay?"
“It seems like that’s all it can do now.”
It goes without saying who is left outside the city. We just thought about it briefly and decided to let all five dragons stay to intercept the second half of the opponent's troops. After all, my dragons are too big and their destructive power would be too exaggerated if we fight in the city. Accidental injuries would be very scary, so it is better to keep them. Blocking the follow-up troops from entering the city outside can better demonstrate their combat effectiveness. Moreover, there are few residential areas on the outskirts of the city, so there are fewer people, so accidental injuries can be reduced.
Of course, it's definitely not possible to just let the dragons stay. They are too big and can do menial work. What if the other party takes hostages or something? What will you do with the dragons? A mouthful of dragon flame was used to cremate the hostages together. How could this be fun? So after discussing for a long time, we decided to let more than half of the Indian commandos with the largest number stay outside to cooperate with our five dragons, and the remaining people still went into the city with us to operate.
"Okay, that's it for the task assignment. Everyone, get ready for airborne landing. Let's kill all these bastards who have abandoned all mankind." (To be continued ~^~)
