In fact, Chen Xi didn't really wait for an hour, and forty-seven minutes later, the first standard transport plane carrying the pursuers had already landed in the Sahara Desert, and then more transport planes also landed in the desert with other troops and equipment.

Since the location where the transport troops landed was not too far from the Sijing base, only about fifty kilometers, Sijing also discovered the situation in that area after a few minutes, after all, the movement brought by the continuous rise and landing of dozens of transports was not small, even if it was fifty kilometers away, but with the technology of the Sijing people, in a place like the desert, it was not a big problem to detect such a distant place.

Therefore, after discovering this movement, the Sijing people's combat weapons, which were originally guarding the surrounding of the base, immediately swarmed towards the area where the Iron Eagle feint attack troops landed like vicious dogs out of the cage.

And the actions of the Sijing people were naturally clearly seen by the iron eagle who had been staring at it using satellites and drones. Sun Dahai, who was in charge of directing this containment feint, immediately mobilized part of the troops that had completed the landing and launched a frontal attack after discovering that the Sijing troops had begun to move on a large scale.

There is no way, the time for the troops to arrive is too short, and there is not much in number, in the face of the strength of the Sijing people who almost poured out, if they don't want to be blocked in the landing area to fight, then they can only take the initiative to attack and fight for some buffer space for the follow-up troops. As for the problem of insufficient troops, the brethren in the air force will help them solve some of the problems, and the ground forces themselves will be able to deal with the other parts, and it will take more time at most.

As for the Wind Rider Combat Boats flying around in the air, it was indeed a bit of a headache, because there were not so many of the information I got from the captives before, even if it were. When preparing for the operation, they still considered the enemy's huge forces, but this time there were more than they expected, and the number of sorties alone had reached more than 300. However, the air superiority prepared by Iron Eagle for this purpose only has 30 Sky Eagle fighters, and the number of both sides is 10 to 1.

Although the Skyhawk is higher than the Wind Rider in terms of overall performance, it is not much higher, after all, if there is a dog fight between the two sides, the Skyhawk cannot beat the Wind Rider, because it is not as flexible as the other party, and the turning radius is larger than the opponent. But if there is enough ammunition, there is enough time. 30 Skyhawks can still fight a dozen. However, it is a pity that the Iron Eagle does not have such time, and it may be a little late to mobilize fighters from other bases, so the ground troops still have to bear a considerable part of the pressure on air combat.

Fortunately, the distance between the ground forces of the two sides is fifty kilometers, and no matter how hard the ground combat weapons of the Sijing people are rushed, they cannot be faster than the Wind Riders, so Iron Eagle can still fight a time difference and use the air force and ground air defense firepower to clean up the Wind Riders first. Then concentrate on dealing with the ground forces of the Sijing people.

And compared to the strange-looking ground force equipment configuration of the Sijing people, Iron Eagle still seems to have a lot of advantages. Because they have long-range firepower on the ground, such as various long-range artillery and missiles, they can allow Iron Eagle to weaken the ground forces of the Sijing people before they come into contact with them.

But for now, it's better to deal with the more than 300 Wind Rider combat boats first.

In the sky, an attack by a Skyhawk fighter. Blazing flames had already exploded in the air, with the sparks of interceptor beam-destroying missiles fired from the Windrider Battleboat, and the flames of the Windrider when they were hit by missiles, and the battle had officially begun.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" On the ground, Iron Eagle's non-commissioned officers kept urging their subordinates. After the fierce battle in the air began, the Skyhawk fighters initially took advantage of the longer range of missiles than the Wind Riders to gain a temporary advantage, but after all, the Wind Riders were 10 times as numerous as them, and they approached them in the face of the Sky Hawk missile attack in an attempt to engage in dog fights.

They have dealt with the Wind Rider many times, and they also have finished product research, and the Skyhawk pilots are naturally very clear about the plans of the Wind Riders, so when the Wind Rider approaches them, they do not engage them at close range, but accelerate to get rid of the other party's pursuit, because the Skyhawk is faster than the Wind Rider's straight line flight, so they often turn around and make up a few missiles after getting rid of the Wind Rider's pursuit, and kill the pursuers.

However, in this way, the Aquila, which was already inferior in numbers, always spent a lot of time preventing itself from being forced into a dogfight by the enemy, which made the frequency of shooting down the Wind Rider slower and slower.

This also put a lot of pressure on the ground troops, because the Sijing people divided twenty-four wind pilots to carry out ground attacks, and the Skyhawk in the air definitely couldn't take care of them, and the air defense could only rely on the ground forces' own anti-aircraft firepower.

Twenty-four Wind Riders may not be as powerful as gunpowder weapons such as missiles and bombs, but they are faster than laser beam weapons, but at least faster than modern live-fire weapons that are 10 times the speed of sound.

However, when the 24 Wind Riders swept over the Iron Eagle ground troops, seven of the missile-type fighting dog assault vehicles, which were the initial anti-aircraft firepower, caught fire and exploded, and the other four were seriously damaged and could not continue the operation. In an instant, the Iron Eagle ground forces lost nearly one-fifth of their mobile anti-aircraft firepower!

Fortunately, under Lin Hai's request not to remember the cost, all the clone soldiers of Iron Eagle, even the logistics personnel, put on the force field armor suit, so that the clone soldiers who were originally superior to ordinary people in physical fitness, in such a blow, did not lose many personnel, the reaction was fast, jumped out of the car in time, the reaction was slower, relying on the force field armor suit, there was no injury, the clone soldiers who died in battle, only could not leave the car, and all the ammunition on the car was destroyed, this was only after some casualties.

However, the Iron Eagle's mobile ground-to-air air defense weapons are not only such as fighting dog assault vehicles, there are also a lot of them, as well as APC armored personnel carriers equipped with large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, their double-barreled 25mm rapid-fire machine guns, are frantically spraying long tongues of fire, tracer bullets mixed with high-explosive armor-piercing shells, forming a beautiful barrage in the air!

The ammunition fired by these APC large-caliber cannons is not accelerated by electromagnetic tracks, and they kill and injure targets, relying on special warheads that explode after armor piercing, which are still very effective against lightly armored and low-flying targets, even if they are protected by the special flying armor and force field of the Wind Pilot, they can't last much, after all, after having a large number of Wind Riders, Iron Eagle has a lot of targeted research. In the global defense forces of another time and space, the Fighting Dog Assault Vehicle and the APC Transporter belong to the kind of cannon fodder equipment that can be mass-produced and consumed in large quantities, and they will not be equipped with too advanced equipment like the Annihilator Super Heavy Tank. For the coalition government, these things, the loss of a few hundred vehicles, will not make the senior officials frown.

Of course, despite the losses, the anti-aircraft shooting of the ground forces was not without gains. Although they are only ground forces, let's not forget that their fire control system is quite good.

There was a wind rider, flying and flying, suddenly the whole body shook, and then flew slower and slower, the fuselage quickly tilted violently to the side, and finally spun, planted to the ground, and exploded a blue fireball on the ground. This was swept away by the high-explosive armor-piercing shells of the machine gun.

There are also volleys that explode, and half of the body is directly reduced to a part state in the air, which was hit by a missile.

In short, after destroying and damaging eleven Iron Eagle ground vehicles, the Sijing people also paid the price of six Wind Riders being shot down, and the firepower of twenty-four ground attacks suddenly weakened a lot. Speaking of which, who called the plasma beam of the Wind Rider has a strong penetrating power, but the surface lethality is very insufficient, as long as it is not the right target, it is difficult to cause real damage, and the firepower density of the twenty-four Wind Riders is still too weak in a battle of this scale.
