0537 Rising Tide (10)
0537
The combat-ready F-16, which has run out of bombs, is still equipped with two short-range combat missiles and two medium-range air-to-air missiles, so they still have the strength to fight in the face of eight Wind Riders, and through the previous video of the Egyptian Air Force and the Wind Riders, as well as the combat data of the Wind Riders they already have, these F-16 pilots will not be completely helpless when they really face the Wind Riders.
The pilots of the M army know that even with the maneuverability of the F-16, they will suffer a big loss when facing the wind pilots, and the Egyptians have proved this with the lives of a group of pilots, and the pilots of the M army do not plan to try it again, so they launched medium-range air-to-air missiles when they were sixty kilometers away from the other side.
Anyway, as long as you drag these Sijing people's flying machines, the base is still sending new planes to support it, and the matter of completely eliminating the wind riders will be handed over to the F-22 or something, as for the ground forces of the Sijing people, aren't there still four B-1Bs in the base.
There are also four F-16s in the battle reserve, so all of them have only 8 medium-range missiles, although 8 missiles correspond to 8 wind riders, but they know that the wind riders can use ion beams to intercept missiles, so the pilots attack in the way of locking on one wind rider with two missiles, although this will miss four wind riders, but they also have combat bombs, and the range is still much farther than the plasma weapons of the Sijing people.
Only one of the eight medium-range air-to-air missiles was successful, and two missiles successfully hit one Wind Rider. A brilliant fireball bloomed in the night sky, and the remaining 6 missiles were all intercepted!
The distance between the two aircraft approached 30 kilometers, and the F-16 fired the last combat missile. If reinforcements don't arrive, they'll have to use their guns to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Wind Riders, and if they're not as mobile or outnumbered as the other side, they'll not end much better.
Unbeknownst to the pilots, by the time the Wind Rider swarm appeared on the radar screen, the base command center was already in chaos. Although for the appearance of the Sijing people's aircraft, the M army had already been mentally prepared. But the Wind Rider, who had not appeared in the previous battle for so long, was so close to the base as soon as it appeared, a distance of 100 kilometers for an Air Force aircraft. It's only three or four minutes away, and at such a close distance, if it weren't for the fact that there were already planes taking off for combat before, I'm afraid that the M Army wouldn't have had time to send out even a single fighter plane at this time. Not to mention the need to cover AWACS.
And the Wind Rider sent out the number of thirty at a time. Although there is no overwhelming formation of hundreds of planes in the past, the M army is also facing the problem of insufficient troops, especially the behavior of the Sijing people who will chase and kill the pilots after parachuting, which is even more unacceptable to the people of the M country. It is not easy for everyone to train a skilled pilot, and you Sijing people want to exchange it one-to-one with unmanned aerial vehicles, who can stand this exchange method.
In addition to this, there are other things that confuse the commanders of the M Army.
After the Wind Rider suddenly appeared in the air. The situation on the ground has also changed, first on the southwestern defensive line, where the ground forces are located. The tank squadron that was responsible for breaking off the rear and covering the ground forces to retreat and regroup suddenly lost all contact with the higher command structure at the same time, and in the northeast direction, the same happened to the four A-10 attack planes of the third group that took off to attack the ground forces of the Sijing people, and they did not even drop a single bomb, and all of them were lost.
As for the command center of the base, they didn't know what was going on at all, whether it was a satellite in space orbit or an unmanned reconnaissance plane in the sky, nothing was found, as if those tanks and planes were sucked into a black hole and disappeared in an instant!
It's not that the commanders didn't want to send drones deep into the rear of the Sijing people to investigate, but the unmanned reconnaissance planes sent out were all shot down, and they didn't even send back anything useful. After losing seven drones in a row, even the wealthy M Army was quite heartbroken, but in order to collect intelligence, it could only continue to dispatch it, and in addition, it also continued to mobilize various reconnaissance satellites to conduct various scans and reconnaissance of the places where the Sijing people appeared.
If you don't figure out what is going on, then if you continue to send troops, you will just disappear into the night inexplicably, just like the previous ones.
Finally, when the first F-16 was volleyed into a fireball by the plasma beam, the eighth unmanned reconnaissance plane finally discovered a clue before it was shot down, it was destroyed by a beam of light from the ground into the sky, although it was only a moment of shock, but the light happened to be photographed by the camera of the reconnaissance aircraft.
And for the M Army, although it was already known what might have destroyed the broken tank and the attack aircraft that were suppressed, the time at that moment was too short, and it was impossible to see what was firing that kind of light weapon, and what frightened the officers was that not to mention that the A-10 attack plane was shot down when it entered the attack line, and the altitude at that time was only about 4,000 meters, while the unmanned reconnaissance plane was shot down at an altitude of 8,000 meters, that is, the range of that light weapon, The worst range can reach 8,000 meters, and if you want to attack an aircraft that launches this light weapon, you must fly more than 8,000 meters to be safe.
In this case, the only way to strike is to use long-range air-to-surface missiles and strike outside the safe range. And if the range of that weapon is not only 8,000 meters, this is not good news for the M army.
In such a situation, on the contrary, the ground forces are safer, and if they can effectively use the complex terrain to cover themselves, the ground forces will be hit more lightly. It's just that now they are in the desert and the Gobi region, and most of the terrain is an endless area, otherwise the dozen or so tanks that were cut off before would not have been wiped out in an instant. This also proves from another aspect that the number of weapons capable of firing that kind of light is not too small, at least not less than the number of troops that are completely destroyed by them.
Of course, the people of country M are not completely without gains, they used the position of the previous drones that were shot down, and the position images of the attackers sent back by the last drone, all of them were compared and calculated, and the approximate location coordinates of the Sijing people weapon that fired light weapons were estimated, and finally, the coordinates were sent to the M109 self-propelled howitzer company and the Ping'er self-propelled artillery company, and they covered the coordinate area with firepower.
In this way, even if the M Army's aerial firepower cannot be dispatched for the time being -- after all, with a range of 8,000 meters, the current position of the Sijing troops, and the base runway are all within their range, and as soon as the aircraft rises into the air, they will be hit by the light, so they must wait until the artillery destroys or suppresses the Sijing Light Weapons before they can continue to send fighters into the air -- not to mention the range of up to 100 kilometers after the pacifiers use rocket range extender bombs, even with the M109, which is not very important to the M Army's ground support artillery fire, With a range of only 30 kilometers, the Sijing people's troops are all within their firepower, and the hit rate can increase with the decrease in distance, so that as long as there are no accidents, then the strange light weapons of the Sijing people will naturally be reduced to pieces under the fierce artillery fire.
And when he sent ground troops to set up a defensive line in the southwest to defend against the Sijing people, Major General Edward did not send all the ground troops, although there were continuous increases in troops along the way, but the elites still remained in the base, such as those more advanced Guardian main battle tanks, such as the Gordon type combat robot troops, which were still in the base and were not dispatched, no matter how the commanders of the Marine Corps requested, Major General Edward did not send those elites.
He just wanted to save these elite troops for the last, either when the enemy had already invaded the base and used it for the final defensive battle, or when the artillery or aircraft group had successfully suppressed or routed the ground forces of the Sijing people, he would conduct a pursuit battle. That's what he was going to do, and now, it seems, it's just the time.
Time waited for no one, the coordinate data of the shelling target was immediately transmitted to the artillerymen, and a minute later, the artillerymen who quickly adjusted the angle began to fire first with the Pacifier suspended self-propelled guns, and the defensive battle of the Mutter base really entered the climax.
