"Watch out for the new stuff that comes out." Lin Hai reminded that as soon as the alarm sounded at the Gorgun base, he was also notified in Shanghai.
"Understood, sir." Zhou Yi replied, "We are analyzing the combat methods of these two newly emerged enemy equipment from the appearance of their operations. What is certain at the moment is that the weapon, which looks like an upside-down pistol, should be a high-heat beam firing weapon that, in addition to being able to deal with lightly armored targets, can also provide close-range anti-aircraft fire, so the use of our double-edged and augur attack aircraft may have an impact. The other, which is more like bugs, is judged to be a vehicle spraying some kind of toxic substance based on their rear device containing an unknown liquid. The exact substance will only be known at the time of the battle, but I have ordered all troops to prepare against biological and chemical weapons, and to seal their combat uniforms and vehicles. ”
"It's not good." Looking at the image from Gorgon, Lin Hai rubbed his chin and said, "You should be more careful, although we are prepared, but we don't want to capsize in the gutter, but we will not get anything good for ourselves." ”
"Rest assured, sir, we have prepared a number of plans, and we have considered the possibility of a more dangerous one than the one that has emerged now." Zhou Yi said, "But we will still be vigilant and not let accidents happen." ”
"That's fine, then you don't have to reply to me all the time, just sync the data. Don't interfere with your command. ”
"Yes, sir."
After stopping communication with Lin Hai, Zhou Yi focused all his energy on command: "Order long-range firepower to start concentrating on attacking enemy ground forces, and fighter units to prepare to intercept enemy aircraft." Those guys must not be allowed to get close to the base! ”
With the order, more than a hundred Vulture-tailed Scorpion self-propelled howitzer trucks were driven out of underground warehouses. In terms of long-range firepower, the Global Defense Force actually only has a long-range support artillery such as the Colossus Artillery Mecha, because most of the long-range fire support of the Global Defense Force is done by the Air Force, even if it is because of the enemy's strong anti-aircraft firepower. It is inconvenient to dispatch the air force, there are also various long-range cruise missiles, and there are air fire support warships to solve the problem, and the Colossus shelling mecha has become a weapon that will only be used in some small-scale engagements. If the battle is really bigger, there will be no shortage of air support of all kinds.
Although Iron Eagle has a Colossus bombardment mecha, the number has not exceeded sixty so far, and it is still distributed among the major bases, and the Gorgun base itself has only twenty units. Plus three guns can only be equivalent to sixty guns. Although the Colossus has strong firepower and a long range, after all, the number is still too small, and the effect is not so satisfactory. Although the Poison-tailed Scorpion self-propelled artillery cannot be compared with the Colossus in terms of range and power, it is indeed a cost-effective weapon, and the power is not enough to make up the number, so even the Iron Eagle itself is equipped with a lot of this artillery, as long as they are equipped with guided rocket range extender shells, the range can also reach nearly 100 kilometers, which is enough for the Iron Eagle to fight in the current era. And it doesn't get too much attention.
Because they did not want to be guarded by others, these self-propelled guns were not deployed to the ground in advance at first, but were dispatched only after the order was given, and then entered the reserved artillery positions according to the arrangement of the plan.
And because these self-propelled guns are controlled by more experienced and efficient clone soldiers, the efficiency is much higher than that of the native soldiers at the Obia base.
The first poison-tailed scorpion was deployed within five minutes from the moment it drove out of the ground. The muzzle of the gun is pointed into the distance. By the time the last vehicle was deployed, only fifteen minutes had passed. Their goal was to drive just over ten kilometers in this time period, the fastest kind of hovering vehicle. It has only run more than 20 kilometers, and it is still far from the base, such a distance is enough for the self-propelled artillery group to slowly adjust the shelling parameters, and then make a good start with a salvo.
In the sky, thirty Skyhawk fighters that had taken off in advance had accelerated towards the eighty bat-shaped aircraft. They will be the first to engage the enemy. Although the number is much less than that of the other party, judging from the several aircraft that have been captured, the other party cannot easily enter supersonic flight because of the appearance design, and the fastest speed is just Mach 1, and no matter how fast it is, it will not work. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the maneuverability of the other side is too high, and in the traditional design of human aircraft, it seems that only the maneuverability of forward-swept wing aircraft can be compared with it, but unfortunately, there is no forward-swept wing fighter among the air force fighters currently in service with various countries.
Therefore, the best way for human conventional fighters to deal with this bat-shaped aircraft is to release missiles from a distance, rather than engaging in a close dog fight with it.
Therefore, the thirty Skyhawk fighters that went to meet them, although they were more advanced than the fighters of this era, still followed this method, and before the two sides approached, they fired their missiles to reduce and weaken the number of each other, and then maneuvered with the other side until their own support arrived. After all, this time they have prepared one hundred and twenty Skyhawks, in addition to the forty that are still on guard over the base, there are still fifty that can be sent to participate in the battle, even if thirty are left as reserves, fifty Skyhawks have a great chance of winning against eighty bat flying machines, after all, sixty old Su-27s have successfully defeated these strange flying machines when they were at the Obiya base before.
The Skyhawk fighter is different from the Dragon Eagle, all the weapons of the Dragon Eagle are built-in, so the performance is several times more than the Skyhawk, and the volume is also larger, but the bomb load is not as much as the Skyhawk.
Taking anti-aircraft missiles as an example, the Dragon Eagle can carry 18 medium and short-range missiles, while the Skyhawk can carry up to 24 missiles.
Today, however, the 30 Skyhawk fighters that were being attacked in advance were all fully loaded with 24 "Dragon's Breath 3" medium-range air-to-air missiles with a range of 100 kilometers and a speed of Mach 10. With such firepower, the Skyhawk fighter, which could have taken off vertically, could only taxi and take off from the runway.
Because it was already known that the range of the energy weapons of those bat vehicles was only 5 km, in order to improve the hit rate, the Skyhawk fighter group carried out the first missile salvo at a distance of 50 km from the opponent.
With the help of data distribution, thirty fighters launched a total of 120 missiles in this wave, locking on to one enemy aircraft for every 4 missiles. Because they also know that the opposing Bat aircraft, like theirs, also has an on-board anti-missile system. If you do not concentrate multiple missiles at one time, then a small number of missile attacks will not be able to achieve results.
With 120 air-to-air missiles and a flight speed of Mach 10, a distance of 50 kilometers can be reached in only 15 or 16 seconds.
In the face of this number of missiles, the speed of the Bat Flying Machine fanned out, and the dazzling interceptor beam began to diffuse in the air, detonating all the first few missiles! Suddenly a large ball of fireball appeared in the sky, reflecting the sky in red as it was gradually dusk!
Nearly half of the 120 air-to-air missiles were destroyed before they could get close to their targets, and when they got closer, they were intercepted in considerable numbers, and even one could not get close to their own targets.
However, it doesn't matter, the Skyhawk has 20 more of the same missiles, and there can be several more waves of such attacks!
The second wave of attacks began when the Batton intercepted the missiles, and this time, they launched 6 air-to-air missiles at the same time, a total of 180 missiles that would push the attack line a little closer to the target!
And when these 180 air-to-air missiles were about to approach the Bat Flying Vehicle, the third wave of missiles was also launched, and this time, a salvo of 240 missiles was launched, and the column of smoke shrouded the sky!
This is how the clone pilots specially use it to deal with the multi-stage missile salvo prepared by the airborne anti-missile defense system, and the increasing number of missiles can not only disrupt the array of the enemy's aircraft group, but also make the enemy's anti-missile defense system work under increasing pressure and eventually collapse. Although the consumption of one missile will be very terrible in this way of combat, the other will also have very high requirements for the fighters on the mission, at least in terms of bomb load.
After these three waves of missiles were fired, only six of the 30 Skyhawk fighters were left, and these missiles were used in the final resort or in close combat. (To be continued.) )
