The Sijing people also discovered this, but the problem is that in order to deal with the 30 human fighters who refused to fight the Wind Rider head-on, the Sijing people used almost all the Wind Rider combat boats on the battlefield, preparing to encircle them from several directions, further reducing the activity space of the human fighters, and it is unlikely that more combat boats will be divided to deal with the human ground forces for the time being.

Their battle rhythm was a little disjointed, perhaps because the commander of the Sijing people in charge of commanding this base had overestimated the combat effectiveness of his own Wind Rider Combat Boat, believing that only twenty-four of them could suppress the ground troops, so they were now in such a difficult situation to ride a tiger.

In any case, the shooting of the ion cannon should still bring a lot of damage to the Sijing people, which can be roughly guessed from the fact that after the Sijing people sent out more than 300 wind riders, they did not send even one new reinforcement, even if the Sijing people still have some wind riders who have not been sent, it will definitely not be too much, and they need to retain a certain number of wind riders to deal with other possible emergencies.

However, despite this, a few minutes later, the Sijing people still mobilized a small number of wind riders to join the ground attack, and with the occurrence of more than a dozen wind riders being shot down by surface-to-air missiles, they have already discovered that if they do not increase the intensity of ground suppression, then those missiles on the ground that are constantly launched into the air will replace those small numbers of human fighters and become the main output firepower to destroy the wind riders.

After reconfirming that the 30 human fighters had been chased by their own superior number of combat boats, the Sijing people retained 150 to continue to interfere with the other party, and the rest of the combat boats all joined the ground suppression team. This brings the total number of Wind Rider combat boats responsible for ground attacks to 67.

The pressure on the Iron Eagle ground forces suddenly became much greater. Massive plasma beams rained down from the sky, easily piercing through the tops of vehicles that were already weakly defended. Detonate a large amount of ammunition and human body stored inside the vehicle! For a while, dozens of orange "mushrooms" sprung up on the ground as if after a rain. After the second ground attack, the Iron Eagle lost more anti-aircraft firepower.

However, as a clone force that has been fighting against the rebellious machine alliance for a long time, because it often has to face the unreasonable number of armed drone swarms of robots, anti-aircraft fire has always been very important. This is also one of the reasons why individual missiles, which are obviously used for anti-tank purposes, also have anti-aircraft combat capabilities. What's more, the highly mobile air defense vehicle called the "Slingshot", a professional mobile air defense weapon, was ordered to be manufactured in large quantities after Lin Hai had seen many times the air force of the Sijing people that could scare the 5 constants to death, and now it was time for them to put it into play.

As a result, the fireballs that had been raised by the explosion had not yet fallen and dispersed, and were denser than before. An even larger barrage of anti-aircraft fire appeared, enveloping the sky, blasting more Wind Riders with ground attacks in the air or causing them to spin and plant on the ground to explode magnificent blue sparks. In short, after paying considerable losses on their own, the slingshot high-mobility anti-aircraft vehicle, which was originally mixed with other vehicles because of its relatively small block. Achieved good results, they shot down much more than other previous air defense forces. Just because their weapons are all alloy armor-piercing bullets that have been accelerated by electromagnetic orbits, and the shields and armor of the Wind Riders will be penetrated without much effect at all.

After this wave of attacks, the Wind Rider destroyed more than forty Iron Eagle light vehicles, and lost more than half of their own numbers. This frustrated the Sijing people's plan to suppress the human ground forces once again. They did not expect at all that the troops sent by mankind to meet them would actually be mainly composed of air defense forces. This is also the reason why the Iron Eagle plans to fight a time difference, first concentrate ground anti-aircraft firepower and fighters, as much as possible. Before the ground forces of the two sides exchanged fire head-on, weaken the air force of the Sijing people, so as not to be attacked by the opponent's air-ground integration in the subsequent battle, after all, the Sijing people still have an advantage in the strength of this field.

There are also 186 Wind Rider combat boats of the Sijing people, of which 143 are responsible for suppressing human fighters and the other 43 are responsible for suppressing human ground forces.

But now, the Sijing people in charge of the command find that they seem to be unable to achieve their goals on both sides.

The person responsible for suppressing the human fighters, on the premise of having so many numbers, only shot down one human fighter, and let people save the pilot, but he suffered heavy losses, because the wind riders could not catch up with the human fighters, and from time to time they would be pulled away by the human fighters, and they would shoot down a few wind riders with missiles back and forth, constantly reducing the number of wind riders.

The negative suppression of human ground forces, because of the insufficient number and the lack of large-area lethal weapons, so the killing effect on human ground forces is always not good enough, not that it is ineffective, after all, as long as their plasma beam hits, it can bring serious damage to human equipment, but it can only cause damage to a single target, not to the target in an area, and because the human anti-aircraft fire is quite dense and fierce, the power is not weak, so that after every ground attack of the wind rider, There will always be some combat boats that will be shot down by human ground anti-aircraft fire.

After such a piecemeal fight, even if it is a wealthy person, it is a little unacceptable.

After thinking about it, as a last resort, the Sijing people left more than 20 wind riders behind, and the rest all retreated. But instead of fully returning to their bases, they stayed over their advancing ground forces, hovering as if they were providing air cover.

In this way, the commanders of Iron Eagle laughed. For them, Sijing people are making a stupid move. Since the Sijing people have given up continuing to use air force to suppress the ground forces of the Iron Eagle, then they have also given up the action of suppressing the Iron Eagle long-range firepower troops, and their ground forces will have to suffer.

Although the Colossus bombardment mecha was not included in this operation because it would be very troublesome to transport it in the air, after all, the feint containment mission was only a backup plan, and it was used when the ion cannon bombarded the top cover of the Sijing base, and Chen Xi's team still couldn't easily infiltrate it. After all, before the start of the operation, in their calculations many times, that cannon could not only blast open the roof of the base, but also eliminate a considerable number of base guards, but the plan could not catch up with the change, and the guard strength in the base still exceeded Iron Eagle's expectations, so they had to send ground troops to feint to attract the attention of the Sijing people.

It is also for this reason that super-heavy equipment such as the Colossus and the Annihilator were not sent to the Sahara Desert, only those that weighed less than 100 tons. For example, the Stalker main battle tank, for example, the Poison-tailed Scorpion self-propelled howitzer developed by Iron Eagle, and various rocket launchers.

Although because the effect of rocket artillery on robot troops is far lower than that on people, the global defense force in another time and space is not equipped with much rocket artillery equipment, but in this world, Iron Eagle does not say that it has developed it by itself, at least the three giants have the most advanced rocket artillery equipment in their hands, especially the rocket artillery equipped by a rabbit is even more frustrating.

I didn't plan to get some rocket artillery with a range of hundreds of kilometers, what the Iron Eagle needed was only the density of firepower, and all it needed was the quantitative output in a short period of time, so the kind of launch track with the most was what they needed.

At this time, there are currently two types of rocket artillery favored by Iron Eagle, one is the 122 mm Prima self-propelled rocket artillery of country E, with a number of 50 barrels; The other is the 90B 122 mm multiple rocket launcher of country Z, with 40 tubes.

Thanks to the improvement of the rocket body, these rockets, which originally had a range of 20 or 40 km, now have a range of more than 50 km, which is enough to meet the needs of this operation. At a distance of 50 kilometers, not only can you hit the ground forces of the Sijing people, but also their bases are also within the range of rocket artillery.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the main force of the Sijing people's air power, Iron Eagle first concentrated its firepower to eliminate all the wind riders they left behind, so as not to be discovered by them on the human side, and then, a full sixty 50-tube 122-mm rocket launchers were deployed in the landing area. They will give the people of Sijing a taste of what a metal storm is! (To be continued.) )
