July is a rainy season.
Although the valley province is located inland and the cumulonimbus clouds have been consumed here with the monsoon, in previous years, there have been a few heavy rains.
Just like now, the sun was still scorching the previous second, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds...
...The enemy's traces were found in the southeast, with a scale of more than a thousand-person team!Their equipment is mainly light weapons and is equipped with multiple modified exoskeletons of different models. No armor or transportation vehicles were found!
In the tent.
A scout knelt on one knee and reported the reconnaissance information.
Raycheer, who was sitting in the camp, quietly listened to his subordinates' reports, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his calm mouth.
Finold, who stood beside him with his hands behind his back, whispered thoughtfully.
I didn't expect that I was really native to me after being entangled with us for more than half a month...
No matter how many reinforcements the company sends, it is impossible to fill in endlessly like this.
Especially those simple armed forces made him even more convinced that these people were natives living in the local area, and most likely they came from a slightly larger settlement of survivors nearby.
And the city lord or mayor there happened to be a ignorant guy who knows how to live or die.
What do you think they are looking for?Finold still doesn't understand it very much.
Is it for CR?
They did find corporate weapons on the bodies of those soldiers, such as the G9 assault rifle.
But just for this little money, it is really not very smart to go against the Legion.
They would crush the indigenous people into a pile of dregs like crushing ants.
Only the wise men who surrendered at the beginning can receive their forgiveness and become slaves to the great legion.
And for those who resist stubbornly.
All that awaits them is death.
Maybe it was bought by people from the company, maybe it was a brain problem... no matter what, they came just right.
Raichel stood up from the chair.
A cruel smile broke into the corner of his mouth, and a murderous aura emanated from his body, and the sultry air in the camp cooled down a few degrees.
General McClass had issued an order for transfer and deployment before, and suddenly said he would move to Oasis No. 9. He was worried that he would not have the chance to avenge his dead brothers.
Now, this opportunity has come to you.
He would let these natives know.
What does it mean to seek death!
Vito, Valite...
As he recited those names lightly, he picked up the painted black helmet from the table and slowly put it on his head.
...I will avenge you.
……
Mountains in the west district of Ruigu City.
Here is a new alliance's artillery position that has been prepared for a month.
More than twenty storm rocket launchers and thirty imitation 100mm cannons were distributed on the continuous hills, at least five hundred meters apart.
Each rocket launcher and artillery was excavated next to it to ensure that the safety of personnel and equipment can be maximized when the firepower countermeasures are encountered.
Of course, even with such sufficient preparations, Yang Shu knew very well.
I only have one chance.
...The opponent's counterattack firepower will reach our heads within half a minute!
We are the first shot, and the brothers on other hills are waiting for our signal!No matter what, we can’t lose the chain. I need you not to panic at any time. No matter what happens, you must obey my command!
Do you understand everything?
Walk in front of the queue.
Yang Shu watched his artillerymen and made the final mobilization before the war began.
The artillery soldiers in a row were full of morale, raised their heads and chests, and answered vigorously.
clear!
Looking at the slightly tender but extremely determined faces, Yang Shu nodded with satisfaction.
He seemed to see his past in their faces.
Half a year ago, he ended his wanderings because of a bowl of hot green porridge, decided to follow the footsteps of the manager and join the alliance's army to resist the invasion of the Chewing Bone Tribe.
In the next six months, he followed the Northern Expedition Army all the way north, participated in several battles to liberate Xizhou City, and finally successfully drove the plunderers who were eating people and didn't spit bones out of the river.
Although he had been enlisted for less than a year and even learned from other veterans on the battlefield, after several battles, his practical experience was no less than that of those veterans, and now he has become the captain of the 11th Artillery Squadron of the First Corps.
As the action order was issued, everyone started to move.
The entire artillery position is like an ignition engine, and every part is operating in an orderly manner.
Yang Shu walked to the observation post alone, took the telescope and looked at the direction of the command post, waiting for the signal.
The 100mm guns in the first group will send smoke barrages toward the steel fortress according to their signals, interfering with the visual observation of the airship.
And when their second sound cannon sounded, a group of artillery soldiers would then fire the second round of barrage, projecting the shells equipped with foil strips near the Heart of Steel to detonate, forming a cloud of interference.
Large-area reflection of echoes on the foil strip can deceive the radar and form a cloud of clouds on the radar, thereby covering the aviation force to break through the enemy's air defense firepower network.
These two shells are very important.
It directly determines whether their airborne troops can successfully reach the other party's head.
After completing these tasks, he needed to immediately lead his brothers to quickly evacuate into the anti-aircraft shed next to him and wait for the enemy's projection to end the firepower.
Recalling the content of the combat plan, Yang Shu felt sweating when she felt her palms were pinched.
If the opponent's counter-fire power is 100mm artillery, there is a high probability that they will survive.
However, if it is a 400mm rocket shooting...
With the power of Naya's nuclear weapons level, their chances of surviving are less than 20%.
However, even though he knew this, he still had no fear in his heart.
Compared with the warriors who charge on the front line, the combat position they assume is already quite safe.
What's more, just a life.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
If those people hadn't extended a helping hand to him, his life would have come to an end half a year ago.
The dark clouds in the sky are getting denser.
The poplar tree looked up at the sky, and then a drop of raindrops happened to fall on his stubble and drilled into his collar along his neck.
Feeling the coldness of his neck, he frowned and muttered in a low voice.
...It's going to rain.
……
It's raining... It seems that God is not always standing by our side.
Command post not far from the artillery position.
Kakarot, who was standing behind a rock, held the assault rifle in his hand, looked in the direction of the airship and grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said teasingly.
Rainy days will affect the accuracy of the radar.
But it will also weaken the duration of smoke bombs and jamming bombs.
Especially the impact of rainy days on aircraft maneuverability is a severe test for the alliance that mainly uses propeller aircraft to fight.
Although heavy rain has an impact on both sides, the impact on the offensive side will be more obvious.
However, they no longer have time to delay the combat plan.
The rain will stop at some point, but the airship opposite will undoubtedly withdraw within two days.
Holding the telescope in his hand, the expression on Commander Quanshui's face did not change at all, and he said meticulously in a calm tone.
It is naturally the best situation when there are sunny days and low wind speeds.
However, there are also ways to play on rainy days.
Of course he knew that July was rainy, so he naturally would not have considered the current situation.
Put down the telescope in his hand.
He stretched out his index finger and tapped the side of the helmet twice, closed the mask of the exoskeleton helmet, and ordered cleanly.
Start Plan B!
Action code
The whale fell!
Standing by the side, I straightened my waist excitedly and stood up straight with a sense of substitution.
yes!
……
It's going to rain heavily Ah...
Dawn City Airport.
Looking at the raindrops sliding off the nacelle, Luo Yu glanced at the VM tied to his thighs, and while muttering, he reached out to clear the power supply of the avionics equipment.
rain.
Then the corresponding one should be Plan B in the combat plan.
The ground artillery will still fire cover barrage, but the order of advancement will be slightly adjusted.
If it is sunny, the alliance's aircraft revolves around the interfering clouds, while the ground forces will take the lead in attacking as bait to attract opponents' firepower.
If it is rainy, the effect of interfering with the cloud will be weakened, and the jet under him with the ultimate speed of Mach three is required to be used as the main bait.
In fact, there has been no change in the tactical thinking, it has become just the order.
At this time, a line of light blue pop-up windows appeared in the VM screen.
ECM connected
The moment he saw this line of words, Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his index finger and clicked on the headset twice and said.
The electronic interference pod has been started!Confirm that it is running normally!
There are two ideas for interfering radars. One is to use foil strips to reflect echo interference, and the other is to actively irradiate.
Specifically, after capturing the radar signal, it actively responds to the opponent's radar with disordered or ordered radar signals.
The former is equivalent to a smoke bomb, which can hide the specific location of the target. The defect is that it has a short working time and is easy to burn through.
The latter is equivalent to lighting a headlight on the opposite side to find you, and you turn on the flashlight to shine his eyes, making it impossible for him to see clearly, or misjudgment the size and size of the target.
For example, the electronic interference pod hanging on his wings is the latter, which can simulate the radar signals of 600 mosquito fighters.
This is the latest equipment designed by the Alliance Scientific Expedition Corps for the Alliance Air Force, specifically targeting the radar system of the Iron Heart.
Unfortunately, the preparations for this decisive battle are too hasty.
Otherwise, they could have applied anti-radar stealth coating to each aircraft and arranged a few more electronic warfare aircraft to interfere with the opponent's firepower.
However, reality doesn't have that many ifs.
They have used all the means they can use, even if these means may not be effective, even if they can help them get an extra second.
This action will also have more chances of winning...
The voice of the command center came from the communication channel.
The command received... ready to enter the combat position.
learn!
While answering, Luo Yu had already driven the plane onto the runway and pushed the valve that controlled the fuel to the maximum.
The roar of the engine gradually came from behind.
Although he couldn't see it, he could imagine that the jet fire arc was evaporating the rain on the runway and pushing him forward.
The fuselage left the runway and rushed towards the dark clouds.
I withdrew my gaze from the gradually distant surface, and took a deep breath against Luo Yu, who was close to the seat, moved his fingers holding the joystick, and a boiling fighting spirit gradually ignited in my pupils.
bring it on!
It's time to show off your true technology!
At this moment, next to the runway of Shuguang City North Airport.
Looking at the arc of fire that penetrated into the rain, the unprofessional anti-mann sitting in the dragonfly transport plane smacked his lips enviously.
Damn, I want to open that too!
This kind of slow propeller aircraft that is like a target is not as good as a jet plane to drive.
Since the meter was not closed, the mosquito teased me soon came from the communication channel.
Haha, that thing is a prototype, I will get one for the time being, and you can wait.
Then I can wait.
He glanced at the cabin behind him and saw that the airborne soldiers had boarded the plane. He pulled down the valve next to him and closed the cabin door.
The signal light flashes.
He took off the walkie-talkie hanging beside him and started the car while saying in the communication channel.
Lingyun One has taken off!
It's time for us to set out, too.
……
At the same time, the West District of Ruigu City.
Detecting that the enemy's ground target was approaching, Raicher led three thousand-man teams of the Air Marine Corps and two thousand entourage soldiers, and led by the airship observation compartment, headed towards the target area search.
The Pangolin Hundreds, who were originally elite entourages of the entourage army, also had to attack together, but due to the heavy casualties in the last mission, they could only be lucky enough to stay.
Leaf camp.
Colway called the pangolin into the camp and said to him.
We received an order from our superiors and would leave the fallen leaf camp the day after tomorrow to return to the desert.
Although I had already heard of this news, the battlefield atmosphere group still pretended to be the first time I heard it. After being stunned for a moment, he made a look of reluctance and embarrassment on his face.
Are you leaving?
It's really hard for him.
Failure to go to the front line with Rachel just now means there is no chance to make trouble.
Although such variables were expected, he always felt like he was wasting his efforts after working so long.
We will be back at the end of August at the latest.
Looking at the powerful general in front of him, Colway continued, General McClass has been watching your loyalty, and your courage and loyalty are also obvious to all. From now on, you will be the chief general of the army in the fallen leaves camp, and the official appointment letter will be delivered here tomorrow.
Tomorrow Ah...
It's exactly one day late.
The Battlefield Atmosphere Group sighed in her heart, saying that she might not be able to get the appointment letter, but she still made a respectful expression and lowered her head and said hypocritically.
Thank you for your promotion, sir.
Looking at the honest and flirting dog in front of him, Coleway nodded with satisfaction.
Work hard.
The Legion never stings with rewards to loyal people, and hopes that when we come back next time I will see a well-trained army.
Don't let me down.
The warrior was thinking about how to say something loyal to him, but at this moment, a thunderous explosion suddenly came from a distance.
Since the sound came from the air, Colway thought it was thunder at first, but soon came to his senses. It was the sound of an explosion.
and
More than one sound.
Colway's face changed slightly, and he suddenly stood up from the chair, grabbed the intercom placed on the table and shouted loudly.
Enemy attack!
Get ready for the battle!
……
Almost at the same time as the shelling was attacked, the Iron Heart had sounded the second-level alarm, and it was busy from the observation cabin to the gun position.
Although that round of artillery fire did not cause any damage to the Heart of Steel, the smoke from the explosion had a significant impact on the observation cabin that monitored the ground.
Ten minutes ago.
They just observed traces of enemy units' activities in the southeast.
However, just as they were about to search carefully, a dense round of barrage suddenly exploded 500 meters east of the airship.
The burst of smoke blocked the view of the observation cabin, but fortunately, they had already recorded the general direction of the artillery fire.
...Are these natives crazy?How dare they open fire on us?He said in surprise while stuffing the shell into the barrel chamber.
Those people should know that this level of shelling is useless to the Heart of Steel.
Rather than panic, they were confused.
The deputy gunner standing next to the observation hole locked the smoke and said with a frown.
It's a smoke bomb!
...a ridiculous trick.
The officer standing behind the cannon position smiled coldly, glanced at the note handed over by the messenger, grabbed the communicator that was placed aside, and ordered loudly.
Firepower preparations for the gun positions in the first three zones!At the azimuth 112 degrees, dive angle 27 degrees... Five rounds of volleys!
Open fire!
Twelve thunderous cannon sounds came, and then twelve tracer pierced through the smoke and roared towards the Alliance's artillery positions.
The explosion of fire flashed on the hill and soon another round of artillery bombardment covered the target area like raindrops!
I saw flashing flames spreading on the mountains more than 20 kilometers away, and rolling smoke floated up from the rain, instantly filling the enemy's artillery positions into a sea of smoke.
At this moment, in the observation cabin.
The observer squatting in front of the viewing system shouted excitedly.
Confirm hit!
Everyone in the observation cabin showed joy, but before they could slap high enough to celebrate, the news from the radar cabin reported made everyone's faces change instantly.
600 fighters are detouring from the north toward their rear at a speed of Mach 2!
He did not hesitate at all, and the observer immediately adjusted the optical sight and locked the position of the 600 fighter jets according to the information provided by the radar operator.
However, no matter how he zooms or presses his pupils and lenses, he cannot see the shadows of the 600 fighter jets through the rain curtain.
Can you see it?
Damn…I can’t see it!
Generally speaking, in good weather, the maximum visual distance can reach 9 to 20 kilometers.However, if it is a rainy day, the distance may be more than doubled.
But that being said, no matter how fast the 600 fighter jets fly, no matter how severe the weather affects visual observation, they will not even be unable to see the tail flame, right?
The observing hand standing in front of the observation system couldn't help but begin to doubt life.
It was the radar that was wrong.
It was still something wrong with his eyes...
……
Inside the bridge.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, General McClan's face instantly showed an incredible expression.
600 fighter jets...how is it possible?!
Not only him, almost all the officers standing in the bridge had the same unbelievable expression on their faces.
The adviser thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Could it be their trick?
600 aircraft...
And they are all at a speed of two Mach.
No matter what, this number is too exaggerated!
Staring at the flashing signal source on the radar, General McClass's face was gloomy, but his thoughts were turning rapidly.
Of course, he also thought that this might be a trick of the natives.
But what is the meaning of doing so?
Even if they successfully divert the firepower direction of the Iron Heart, it is impossible to break through the absolute defense of the partial guide shield.
In the past half a month, the indigenous people have tried all kinds of methods.
Whether it is a naval cannon, artillery or rocket... all attack methods have proved to be meaningless in front of their Heart of Steel.
The officer standing in front of the radar terminal shouted.
They circled to our southwest direction, and the signal source was amplifying... They were approaching us!
General McClass made a quick decision and ordered.
Regardless of whether it is bait or not, the air defense firepower is prepared, kill the flies for me!
yes!
The gun barrel had already locked the trajectory of the 600 aircraft. With the order to open fire, orange-yellow flames shot from the barrel and galloped towards the target aircraft group on the radar.
However, surprisingly, the six hundred aircraft continued to fly in the formation, neither dispersing nor avoiding maneuvers, and just collided with their barrage.
Looking at the floor-to-ceiling window outside the bridge, the explosion smoke as dense as a city wall, General McCross narrowed his eyes slightly.
Has it hit?
The signal on the radar disappeared.
But this was a bit smoother.
At this moment, wave signals suddenly appeared on the radar.
The artillery positions on the ground did not seem to have been completely wiped out, and they were still firing around the airship, except that they did not fire smoke bombs.
It's a jamming bomb.
A look of surprise appeared in McClane's eyes.
Knowing to use platinum strips to interfere with radar, it seems that these natives still have two brushes.However, they still underestimated the radar of the Iron Heart.
They can burn through this level of interference in minutes.
and……
The cooperation of these indigenous people is still weaker.
The six hundred aircraft have been destroyed. Even if the jamming bomb is fired, it will be too late. It will only continue to expose the position of the ground artillery positions.
Just as McClan was thinking this way, twenty-two weak signal sources suddenly appeared in the south of the airship.
They are very close, less than ten kilometers away from the airship, and they almost suddenly appear and fly above the clouds.
The moment he saw this series of signals, General McClass was slightly stunned and suddenly reacted.
Starboard artillery firepower preparation!
The six hundred planes just now were bait!Go to the target in the south!
……
Just as the Heart of Steel turned its gun, it was above the thick dark clouds.
The unprofessional anti-mann holding the joystick in his hand stared at the VM tied to his thighs while counting down silently in his heart.
It takes about 17 seconds for the cannon to turn 110 degrees...
The artillery on the ground had already begun firing foil bait bombs to cover them, but he knew very well that this level of interference would not last long before it would be burned through the opposite radar.
It doesn't even have to burn through it.
The dense firepower was enough to tear them apart with the interference clouds.
A tracer in the distance had already moved through the clouds, and clouds of black smoke burst out in the air.
The deadly shrapnel scraped through the propeller and the wings, and the sound of metal collisions continued to come, and the fuselage began to shake violently.
As time was almost up, I calmly grabbed the communicator hanging next to me and cut it to the radio in the cabin.
The flight has reached its destination and we will crash in 10 seconds...
The remaining kilometer is up to you!
As the words fell, the cabin door at the rear end of the cabin slowly opened, and the high-speed airflow also caught in the cabin.
The sound in the communication channel was blew up by the airflow, but from the two intermittent sentences, he could still hear the heroic spirit of moving forward.
receive!
Leave it to us!
The airborne troops of the Burning Corps stepped out of the cabin one after another.
Looking at the tracer passing through the clouds and the flames illuminating the cockpit glass, a smile appeared on the corner of his unprofessional and anti-man's lips.
The task is completed.
However, probably I can't go back.
Thinking of this, he simply switched the communication channel and shouted to the command center.
This is the Group B flight formation... Our mission has been completed, but the enemy's artillery fire has locked us and we can no longer return.
Before being shot down, let us send the paratrooper brothers for the last journey!
There was no response in the communication channel.
I was unprofessional and knew it in my heart that it was probably because of the gunfire that several electromagnetic interference bombs were intercepted, blocking their communication.
but……
It doesn't matter.
Throwing the communicator aside, he reached out and pressed the button next to the joystick, and thick black smoke began to radiate from the rear of the transport.
Meanwhile, he held the joystick tightly in his hands and shouted loudly towards the already trampled cockpit.
Group B flight formation!
Pull the smoke for me!
Even if I can't hear the shout.
The moment he saw him pull the smoke screen open, the 21 dragonfly transport planes flying with him immediately understood what he meant and pulled the smoke and started a dive at the same time.
The orange-yellow bullet rain flew in the air, illuminating the entire sky almost, losing the protection of the clouds, and transport planes were quickly engulfed by the flames.
But their sacrifice is not meaningless.
The rolling black smoke also fell from the air with the suicide dive, like a flying waterfall, pulling out a collapsed smoke wall in the sky.
The observation hand standing next to the viewing system, staring at the sky lit up by the artillery fire.
He could be sure that those planes that were like live targets could not escape.
But what he couldn't believe was that the guys had no intention of running away at all, and rushed towards them straight.
At this time, he saw parachutes passing through the thick smoke.
Like a dandelion floating in the fire.
Their lives are burning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, even so, the flying artillery fire and bullets could not change the direction of their burning.
Looking at the parachutes floating down from the air, the gunner standing behind the 100mm anti-aircraft gun was filled with disbelief and muttering in his mouth.
...Are these people crazy?!
parachute……
It turned out to be a parachute!
These natives actually planned to climb their steel fortress through this ridiculous thing.
Even if there are so many people who have passed through their firepower network and boarded their airship by chance?
Even though they deployed five thousand-man teams on the ground, there were still three thousand-man teams on the airship on standby.
Dozens or hundreds of ants...
They will be torn to pieces by their firepower in minutes.
Inside the bridge.
Looking at the airborne soldiers who forced their landing, General McClan's face was also filled with a stunned expression.
Although he didn't know what kind of confidence these people were in and dared to forcefully land on his airship with this little person, he could not take it lightly at this moment.
Those natives paid such a great price and tried their best to send these people to his face, not just to watch the fireworks with him.
Suddenly he came to his senses, General McClan shouted and ordered.
Adjust the engine orientation!Point me to the sky!
The adjutant also quickly came to his senses and took the order.
yes!
As the order was issued, the engines deployed on both sides of the airship slowly rotated, and the propeller was aimed directly above.
The engine starts and the propeller starts to rotate.
The huge airflow blew from bottom to top, pushing the airship gently downwards, and also blew the parachutes in the air into the direction.
Seeing the brothers of the Burning Corps in crisis, Ling Yun, who had already left the battlefield, suddenly returned to the battlefield.
At this moment, it had thrown away the electronic interference compartment.
It no longer sends any signal, like a dagger hidden in the dark night, approaching the target quietly and quickly.
...The speed of raindrops falling is 30 to 60 yards.
Holding the joystick with both hands, Luo Yu's eyes locked on the row of engines on the right side of the airship, muttering softly.
The trigger limit of the partial guide shield should be around 60 yards.
Just slow down the speed at the moment you approach the edge of the shield...
It should be able to go in!
Although it was his first time trying this kind of messy operation.
But the forward sweep wing aircraft...
It should be able to do it!
As time approaching the shield was counting down in his heart, Luo Yu gritted his teeth tightly, and quickly pulled up the joystick while pushing the throttle!
The nose suddenly raised upwards.
The tail of the machine ran to the front in an instant.
And at this moment, Luo Yu, who had almost fainted, pushed down the afterburner valve next to his right leg.
The arc of fire swaying in the engine was originally like a beam of flame, and at this moment, the scorching light lit up in the engine.
The speed of the plane suddenly dropped, and the violently shaking forward swept wings were torn into pieces by the high-speed airflow.
Before he could even make a sound, Luo Yu felt his eyes turn black and he disconnected from the game.
The unbalanced fuselage rolled like fallen leaves and continued to move forward, but it was not pushed aside by the partial shield, but was swept into the propeller of the starboard wing of the airship along with the broken wing.
The bursting flames broke the wings on the right side of the airship, and the lost balance tilted in an instant.
Ye Shi, who had finally stabilized his parachute, stared at the explosion of fire and widened his eyes in surprise.
Damn it?!
Cobra maneuver?!
He was not the only one who was surprised.
There are also soldiers and officers on the Iron Heart.
They didn't even see how the plane approached.
It slowed down at the last moment and hit their starboard wings as a bullet.
The right side lost power, and in order to avoid overturning, the Iron Heart had to turn off the engine on the left, and the pressure of the landing airborne troops was reduced sharply.
However, the threat of death did not leave.
Even though they had entered the firing blind spot of the 100mm anti-aircraft gun, even if the opponent's propeller had been forced to close, there were still dozens of 10mm machine guns aimed at them from all directions.
Exoskeletons have certain bulletproof capabilities, but it does not mean that they are immune to bullets.
The boundary of the partial guide shield has crossed, and surging firepower is coming.
More than half of the more than 500 airborne troops have suffered casualties so far.
Many people were shot into sieves in the sky, floating to the ground, or hanging on the cannon barrels that stood like hedgehogs outside the airship.
Looking straight at the flashing fire and the last thirty meters away, Lao Bai pulled out the dagger hanging on the chest of the heavy cavalry exoskeleton and roared at the almost paralyzed communication equipment.
Even if our flesh and blood burned before it landed
We must also sprinkle all the burning into their eyes!
Cut the parapet rope!
As he finished speaking, he waved the blade in his hand, cut off the parachute wrapped around the exoskeleton, and passed through the surging rain of bullets.
Thirty meters distance is fleeting.
His feet were heavily on the top of the airship, smashing two dents of the insurmountable steel armor.
Obviously.
It's not as invincible as it seems.
Target 400mm main gun!
Pulling out the rifle on his back, he shouted toward the communication channel.
All the people who can move
keep going!
Although the valley province is located inland and the cumulonimbus clouds have been consumed here with the monsoon, in previous years, there have been a few heavy rains.
Just like now, the sun was still scorching the previous second, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds...
...The enemy's traces were found in the southeast, with a scale of more than a thousand-person team!Their equipment is mainly light weapons and is equipped with multiple modified exoskeletons of different models. No armor or transportation vehicles were found!
In the tent.
A scout knelt on one knee and reported the reconnaissance information.
Raycheer, who was sitting in the camp, quietly listened to his subordinates' reports, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his calm mouth.
Finold, who stood beside him with his hands behind his back, whispered thoughtfully.
I didn't expect that I was really native to me after being entangled with us for more than half a month...
No matter how many reinforcements the company sends, it is impossible to fill in endlessly like this.
Especially those simple armed forces made him even more convinced that these people were natives living in the local area, and most likely they came from a slightly larger settlement of survivors nearby.
And the city lord or mayor there happened to be a ignorant guy who knows how to live or die.
What do you think they are looking for?Finold still doesn't understand it very much.
Is it for CR?
They did find corporate weapons on the bodies of those soldiers, such as the G9 assault rifle.
But just for this little money, it is really not very smart to go against the Legion.
They would crush the indigenous people into a pile of dregs like crushing ants.
Only the wise men who surrendered at the beginning can receive their forgiveness and become slaves to the great legion.
And for those who resist stubbornly.
All that awaits them is death.
Maybe it was bought by people from the company, maybe it was a brain problem... no matter what, they came just right.
Raichel stood up from the chair.
A cruel smile broke into the corner of his mouth, and a murderous aura emanated from his body, and the sultry air in the camp cooled down a few degrees.
General McClass had issued an order for transfer and deployment before, and suddenly said he would move to Oasis No. 9. He was worried that he would not have the chance to avenge his dead brothers.
Now, this opportunity has come to you.
He would let these natives know.
What does it mean to seek death!
Vito, Valite...
As he recited those names lightly, he picked up the painted black helmet from the table and slowly put it on his head.
...I will avenge you.
……
Mountains in the west district of Ruigu City.
Here is a new alliance's artillery position that has been prepared for a month.
More than twenty storm rocket launchers and thirty imitation 100mm cannons were distributed on the continuous hills, at least five hundred meters apart.
Each rocket launcher and artillery was excavated next to it to ensure that the safety of personnel and equipment can be maximized when the firepower countermeasures are encountered.
Of course, even with such sufficient preparations, Yang Shu knew very well.
I only have one chance.
...The opponent's counterattack firepower will reach our heads within half a minute!
We are the first shot, and the brothers on other hills are waiting for our signal!No matter what, we can’t lose the chain. I need you not to panic at any time. No matter what happens, you must obey my command!
Do you understand everything?
Walk in front of the queue.
Yang Shu watched his artillerymen and made the final mobilization before the war began.
The artillery soldiers in a row were full of morale, raised their heads and chests, and answered vigorously.
clear!
Looking at the slightly tender but extremely determined faces, Yang Shu nodded with satisfaction.
He seemed to see his past in their faces.
Half a year ago, he ended his wanderings because of a bowl of hot green porridge, decided to follow the footsteps of the manager and join the alliance's army to resist the invasion of the Chewing Bone Tribe.
In the next six months, he followed the Northern Expedition Army all the way north, participated in several battles to liberate Xizhou City, and finally successfully drove the plunderers who were eating people and didn't spit bones out of the river.
Although he had been enlisted for less than a year and even learned from other veterans on the battlefield, after several battles, his practical experience was no less than that of those veterans, and now he has become the captain of the 11th Artillery Squadron of the First Corps.
As the action order was issued, everyone started to move.
The entire artillery position is like an ignition engine, and every part is operating in an orderly manner.
Yang Shu walked to the observation post alone, took the telescope and looked at the direction of the command post, waiting for the signal.
The 100mm guns in the first group will send smoke barrages toward the steel fortress according to their signals, interfering with the visual observation of the airship.
And when their second sound cannon sounded, a group of artillery soldiers would then fire the second round of barrage, projecting the shells equipped with foil strips near the Heart of Steel to detonate, forming a cloud of interference.
Large-area reflection of echoes on the foil strip can deceive the radar and form a cloud of clouds on the radar, thereby covering the aviation force to break through the enemy's air defense firepower network.
These two shells are very important.
It directly determines whether their airborne troops can successfully reach the other party's head.
After completing these tasks, he needed to immediately lead his brothers to quickly evacuate into the anti-aircraft shed next to him and wait for the enemy's projection to end the firepower.
Recalling the content of the combat plan, Yang Shu felt sweating when she felt her palms were pinched.
If the opponent's counter-fire power is 100mm artillery, there is a high probability that they will survive.
However, if it is a 400mm rocket shooting...
With the power of Naya's nuclear weapons level, their chances of surviving are less than 20%.
However, even though he knew this, he still had no fear in his heart.
Compared with the warriors who charge on the front line, the combat position they assume is already quite safe.
What's more, just a life.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
If those people hadn't extended a helping hand to him, his life would have come to an end half a year ago.
The dark clouds in the sky are getting denser.
The poplar tree looked up at the sky, and then a drop of raindrops happened to fall on his stubble and drilled into his collar along his neck.
Feeling the coldness of his neck, he frowned and muttered in a low voice.
...It's going to rain.
……
It's raining... It seems that God is not always standing by our side.
Command post not far from the artillery position.
Kakarot, who was standing behind a rock, held the assault rifle in his hand, looked in the direction of the airship and grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said teasingly.
Rainy days will affect the accuracy of the radar.
But it will also weaken the duration of smoke bombs and jamming bombs.
Especially the impact of rainy days on aircraft maneuverability is a severe test for the alliance that mainly uses propeller aircraft to fight.
Although heavy rain has an impact on both sides, the impact on the offensive side will be more obvious.
However, they no longer have time to delay the combat plan.
The rain will stop at some point, but the airship opposite will undoubtedly withdraw within two days.
Holding the telescope in his hand, the expression on Commander Quanshui's face did not change at all, and he said meticulously in a calm tone.
It is naturally the best situation when there are sunny days and low wind speeds.
However, there are also ways to play on rainy days.
Of course he knew that July was rainy, so he naturally would not have considered the current situation.
Put down the telescope in his hand.
He stretched out his index finger and tapped the side of the helmet twice, closed the mask of the exoskeleton helmet, and ordered cleanly.
Start Plan B!
Action code
The whale fell!
Standing by the side, I straightened my waist excitedly and stood up straight with a sense of substitution.
yes!
……
It's going to rain heavily Ah...
Dawn City Airport.
Looking at the raindrops sliding off the nacelle, Luo Yu glanced at the VM tied to his thighs, and while muttering, he reached out to clear the power supply of the avionics equipment.
rain.
Then the corresponding one should be Plan B in the combat plan.
The ground artillery will still fire cover barrage, but the order of advancement will be slightly adjusted.
If it is sunny, the alliance's aircraft revolves around the interfering clouds, while the ground forces will take the lead in attacking as bait to attract opponents' firepower.
If it is rainy, the effect of interfering with the cloud will be weakened, and the jet under him with the ultimate speed of Mach three is required to be used as the main bait.
In fact, there has been no change in the tactical thinking, it has become just the order.
At this time, a line of light blue pop-up windows appeared in the VM screen.
ECM connected
The moment he saw this line of words, Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his index finger and clicked on the headset twice and said.
The electronic interference pod has been started!Confirm that it is running normally!
There are two ideas for interfering radars. One is to use foil strips to reflect echo interference, and the other is to actively irradiate.
Specifically, after capturing the radar signal, it actively responds to the opponent's radar with disordered or ordered radar signals.
The former is equivalent to a smoke bomb, which can hide the specific location of the target. The defect is that it has a short working time and is easy to burn through.
The latter is equivalent to lighting a headlight on the opposite side to find you, and you turn on the flashlight to shine his eyes, making it impossible for him to see clearly, or misjudgment the size and size of the target.
For example, the electronic interference pod hanging on his wings is the latter, which can simulate the radar signals of 600 mosquito fighters.
This is the latest equipment designed by the Alliance Scientific Expedition Corps for the Alliance Air Force, specifically targeting the radar system of the Iron Heart.
Unfortunately, the preparations for this decisive battle are too hasty.
Otherwise, they could have applied anti-radar stealth coating to each aircraft and arranged a few more electronic warfare aircraft to interfere with the opponent's firepower.
However, reality doesn't have that many ifs.
They have used all the means they can use, even if these means may not be effective, even if they can help them get an extra second.
This action will also have more chances of winning...
The voice of the command center came from the communication channel.
The command received... ready to enter the combat position.
learn!
While answering, Luo Yu had already driven the plane onto the runway and pushed the valve that controlled the fuel to the maximum.
The roar of the engine gradually came from behind.
Although he couldn't see it, he could imagine that the jet fire arc was evaporating the rain on the runway and pushing him forward.
The fuselage left the runway and rushed towards the dark clouds.
I withdrew my gaze from the gradually distant surface, and took a deep breath against Luo Yu, who was close to the seat, moved his fingers holding the joystick, and a boiling fighting spirit gradually ignited in my pupils.
bring it on!
It's time to show off your true technology!
At this moment, next to the runway of Shuguang City North Airport.
Looking at the arc of fire that penetrated into the rain, the unprofessional anti-mann sitting in the dragonfly transport plane smacked his lips enviously.
Damn, I want to open that too!
This kind of slow propeller aircraft that is like a target is not as good as a jet plane to drive.
Since the meter was not closed, the mosquito teased me soon came from the communication channel.
Haha, that thing is a prototype, I will get one for the time being, and you can wait.
Then I can wait.
He glanced at the cabin behind him and saw that the airborne soldiers had boarded the plane. He pulled down the valve next to him and closed the cabin door.
The signal light flashes.
He took off the walkie-talkie hanging beside him and started the car while saying in the communication channel.
Lingyun One has taken off!
It's time for us to set out, too.
……
At the same time, the West District of Ruigu City.
Detecting that the enemy's ground target was approaching, Raicher led three thousand-man teams of the Air Marine Corps and two thousand entourage soldiers, and led by the airship observation compartment, headed towards the target area search.
The Pangolin Hundreds, who were originally elite entourages of the entourage army, also had to attack together, but due to the heavy casualties in the last mission, they could only be lucky enough to stay.
Leaf camp.
Colway called the pangolin into the camp and said to him.
We received an order from our superiors and would leave the fallen leaf camp the day after tomorrow to return to the desert.
Although I had already heard of this news, the battlefield atmosphere group still pretended to be the first time I heard it. After being stunned for a moment, he made a look of reluctance and embarrassment on his face.
Are you leaving?
It's really hard for him.
Failure to go to the front line with Rachel just now means there is no chance to make trouble.
Although such variables were expected, he always felt like he was wasting his efforts after working so long.
We will be back at the end of August at the latest.
Looking at the powerful general in front of him, Colway continued, General McClass has been watching your loyalty, and your courage and loyalty are also obvious to all. From now on, you will be the chief general of the army in the fallen leaves camp, and the official appointment letter will be delivered here tomorrow.
Tomorrow Ah...
It's exactly one day late.
The Battlefield Atmosphere Group sighed in her heart, saying that she might not be able to get the appointment letter, but she still made a respectful expression and lowered her head and said hypocritically.
Thank you for your promotion, sir.
Looking at the honest and flirting dog in front of him, Coleway nodded with satisfaction.
Work hard.
The Legion never stings with rewards to loyal people, and hopes that when we come back next time I will see a well-trained army.
Don't let me down.
The warrior was thinking about how to say something loyal to him, but at this moment, a thunderous explosion suddenly came from a distance.
Since the sound came from the air, Colway thought it was thunder at first, but soon came to his senses. It was the sound of an explosion.
and
More than one sound.
Colway's face changed slightly, and he suddenly stood up from the chair, grabbed the intercom placed on the table and shouted loudly.
Enemy attack!
Get ready for the battle!
……
Almost at the same time as the shelling was attacked, the Iron Heart had sounded the second-level alarm, and it was busy from the observation cabin to the gun position.
Although that round of artillery fire did not cause any damage to the Heart of Steel, the smoke from the explosion had a significant impact on the observation cabin that monitored the ground.
Ten minutes ago.
They just observed traces of enemy units' activities in the southeast.
However, just as they were about to search carefully, a dense round of barrage suddenly exploded 500 meters east of the airship.
The burst of smoke blocked the view of the observation cabin, but fortunately, they had already recorded the general direction of the artillery fire.
...Are these natives crazy?How dare they open fire on us?He said in surprise while stuffing the shell into the barrel chamber.
Those people should know that this level of shelling is useless to the Heart of Steel.
Rather than panic, they were confused.
The deputy gunner standing next to the observation hole locked the smoke and said with a frown.
It's a smoke bomb!
...a ridiculous trick.
The officer standing behind the cannon position smiled coldly, glanced at the note handed over by the messenger, grabbed the communicator that was placed aside, and ordered loudly.
Firepower preparations for the gun positions in the first three zones!At the azimuth 112 degrees, dive angle 27 degrees... Five rounds of volleys!
Open fire!
Twelve thunderous cannon sounds came, and then twelve tracer pierced through the smoke and roared towards the Alliance's artillery positions.
The explosion of fire flashed on the hill and soon another round of artillery bombardment covered the target area like raindrops!
I saw flashing flames spreading on the mountains more than 20 kilometers away, and rolling smoke floated up from the rain, instantly filling the enemy's artillery positions into a sea of smoke.
At this moment, in the observation cabin.
The observer squatting in front of the viewing system shouted excitedly.
Confirm hit!
Everyone in the observation cabin showed joy, but before they could slap high enough to celebrate, the news from the radar cabin reported made everyone's faces change instantly.
600 fighters are detouring from the north toward their rear at a speed of Mach 2!
He did not hesitate at all, and the observer immediately adjusted the optical sight and locked the position of the 600 fighter jets according to the information provided by the radar operator.
However, no matter how he zooms or presses his pupils and lenses, he cannot see the shadows of the 600 fighter jets through the rain curtain.
Can you see it?
Damn…I can’t see it!
Generally speaking, in good weather, the maximum visual distance can reach 9 to 20 kilometers.However, if it is a rainy day, the distance may be more than doubled.
But that being said, no matter how fast the 600 fighter jets fly, no matter how severe the weather affects visual observation, they will not even be unable to see the tail flame, right?
The observing hand standing in front of the observation system couldn't help but begin to doubt life.
It was the radar that was wrong.
It was still something wrong with his eyes...
……
Inside the bridge.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, General McClan's face instantly showed an incredible expression.
600 fighter jets...how is it possible?!
Not only him, almost all the officers standing in the bridge had the same unbelievable expression on their faces.
The adviser thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Could it be their trick?
600 aircraft...
And they are all at a speed of two Mach.
No matter what, this number is too exaggerated!
Staring at the flashing signal source on the radar, General McClass's face was gloomy, but his thoughts were turning rapidly.
Of course, he also thought that this might be a trick of the natives.
But what is the meaning of doing so?
Even if they successfully divert the firepower direction of the Iron Heart, it is impossible to break through the absolute defense of the partial guide shield.
In the past half a month, the indigenous people have tried all kinds of methods.
Whether it is a naval cannon, artillery or rocket... all attack methods have proved to be meaningless in front of their Heart of Steel.
The officer standing in front of the radar terminal shouted.
They circled to our southwest direction, and the signal source was amplifying... They were approaching us!
General McClass made a quick decision and ordered.
Regardless of whether it is bait or not, the air defense firepower is prepared, kill the flies for me!
yes!
The gun barrel had already locked the trajectory of the 600 aircraft. With the order to open fire, orange-yellow flames shot from the barrel and galloped towards the target aircraft group on the radar.
However, surprisingly, the six hundred aircraft continued to fly in the formation, neither dispersing nor avoiding maneuvers, and just collided with their barrage.
Looking at the floor-to-ceiling window outside the bridge, the explosion smoke as dense as a city wall, General McCross narrowed his eyes slightly.
Has it hit?
The signal on the radar disappeared.
But this was a bit smoother.
At this moment, wave signals suddenly appeared on the radar.
The artillery positions on the ground did not seem to have been completely wiped out, and they were still firing around the airship, except that they did not fire smoke bombs.
It's a jamming bomb.
A look of surprise appeared in McClane's eyes.
Knowing to use platinum strips to interfere with radar, it seems that these natives still have two brushes.However, they still underestimated the radar of the Iron Heart.
They can burn through this level of interference in minutes.
and……
The cooperation of these indigenous people is still weaker.
The six hundred aircraft have been destroyed. Even if the jamming bomb is fired, it will be too late. It will only continue to expose the position of the ground artillery positions.
Just as McClan was thinking this way, twenty-two weak signal sources suddenly appeared in the south of the airship.
They are very close, less than ten kilometers away from the airship, and they almost suddenly appear and fly above the clouds.
The moment he saw this series of signals, General McClass was slightly stunned and suddenly reacted.
Starboard artillery firepower preparation!
The six hundred planes just now were bait!Go to the target in the south!
……
Just as the Heart of Steel turned its gun, it was above the thick dark clouds.
The unprofessional anti-mann holding the joystick in his hand stared at the VM tied to his thighs while counting down silently in his heart.
It takes about 17 seconds for the cannon to turn 110 degrees...
The artillery on the ground had already begun firing foil bait bombs to cover them, but he knew very well that this level of interference would not last long before it would be burned through the opposite radar.
It doesn't even have to burn through it.
The dense firepower was enough to tear them apart with the interference clouds.
A tracer in the distance had already moved through the clouds, and clouds of black smoke burst out in the air.
The deadly shrapnel scraped through the propeller and the wings, and the sound of metal collisions continued to come, and the fuselage began to shake violently.
As time was almost up, I calmly grabbed the communicator hanging next to me and cut it to the radio in the cabin.
The flight has reached its destination and we will crash in 10 seconds...
The remaining kilometer is up to you!
As the words fell, the cabin door at the rear end of the cabin slowly opened, and the high-speed airflow also caught in the cabin.
The sound in the communication channel was blew up by the airflow, but from the two intermittent sentences, he could still hear the heroic spirit of moving forward.
receive!
Leave it to us!
The airborne troops of the Burning Corps stepped out of the cabin one after another.
Looking at the tracer passing through the clouds and the flames illuminating the cockpit glass, a smile appeared on the corner of his unprofessional and anti-man's lips.
The task is completed.
However, probably I can't go back.
Thinking of this, he simply switched the communication channel and shouted to the command center.
This is the Group B flight formation... Our mission has been completed, but the enemy's artillery fire has locked us and we can no longer return.
Before being shot down, let us send the paratrooper brothers for the last journey!
There was no response in the communication channel.
I was unprofessional and knew it in my heart that it was probably because of the gunfire that several electromagnetic interference bombs were intercepted, blocking their communication.
but……
It doesn't matter.
Throwing the communicator aside, he reached out and pressed the button next to the joystick, and thick black smoke began to radiate from the rear of the transport.
Meanwhile, he held the joystick tightly in his hands and shouted loudly towards the already trampled cockpit.
Group B flight formation!
Pull the smoke for me!
Even if I can't hear the shout.
The moment he saw him pull the smoke screen open, the 21 dragonfly transport planes flying with him immediately understood what he meant and pulled the smoke and started a dive at the same time.
The orange-yellow bullet rain flew in the air, illuminating the entire sky almost, losing the protection of the clouds, and transport planes were quickly engulfed by the flames.
But their sacrifice is not meaningless.
The rolling black smoke also fell from the air with the suicide dive, like a flying waterfall, pulling out a collapsed smoke wall in the sky.
The observation hand standing next to the viewing system, staring at the sky lit up by the artillery fire.
He could be sure that those planes that were like live targets could not escape.
But what he couldn't believe was that the guys had no intention of running away at all, and rushed towards them straight.
At this time, he saw parachutes passing through the thick smoke.
Like a dandelion floating in the fire.
Their lives are burning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, even so, the flying artillery fire and bullets could not change the direction of their burning.
Looking at the parachutes floating down from the air, the gunner standing behind the 100mm anti-aircraft gun was filled with disbelief and muttering in his mouth.
...Are these people crazy?!
parachute……
It turned out to be a parachute!
These natives actually planned to climb their steel fortress through this ridiculous thing.
Even if there are so many people who have passed through their firepower network and boarded their airship by chance?
Even though they deployed five thousand-man teams on the ground, there were still three thousand-man teams on the airship on standby.
Dozens or hundreds of ants...
They will be torn to pieces by their firepower in minutes.
Inside the bridge.
Looking at the airborne soldiers who forced their landing, General McClan's face was also filled with a stunned expression.
Although he didn't know what kind of confidence these people were in and dared to forcefully land on his airship with this little person, he could not take it lightly at this moment.
Those natives paid such a great price and tried their best to send these people to his face, not just to watch the fireworks with him.
Suddenly he came to his senses, General McClan shouted and ordered.
Adjust the engine orientation!Point me to the sky!
The adjutant also quickly came to his senses and took the order.
yes!
As the order was issued, the engines deployed on both sides of the airship slowly rotated, and the propeller was aimed directly above.
The engine starts and the propeller starts to rotate.
The huge airflow blew from bottom to top, pushing the airship gently downwards, and also blew the parachutes in the air into the direction.
Seeing the brothers of the Burning Corps in crisis, Ling Yun, who had already left the battlefield, suddenly returned to the battlefield.
At this moment, it had thrown away the electronic interference compartment.
It no longer sends any signal, like a dagger hidden in the dark night, approaching the target quietly and quickly.
...The speed of raindrops falling is 30 to 60 yards.
Holding the joystick with both hands, Luo Yu's eyes locked on the row of engines on the right side of the airship, muttering softly.
The trigger limit of the partial guide shield should be around 60 yards.
Just slow down the speed at the moment you approach the edge of the shield...
It should be able to go in!
Although it was his first time trying this kind of messy operation.
But the forward sweep wing aircraft...
It should be able to do it!
As time approaching the shield was counting down in his heart, Luo Yu gritted his teeth tightly, and quickly pulled up the joystick while pushing the throttle!
The nose suddenly raised upwards.
The tail of the machine ran to the front in an instant.
And at this moment, Luo Yu, who had almost fainted, pushed down the afterburner valve next to his right leg.
The arc of fire swaying in the engine was originally like a beam of flame, and at this moment, the scorching light lit up in the engine.
The speed of the plane suddenly dropped, and the violently shaking forward swept wings were torn into pieces by the high-speed airflow.
Before he could even make a sound, Luo Yu felt his eyes turn black and he disconnected from the game.
The unbalanced fuselage rolled like fallen leaves and continued to move forward, but it was not pushed aside by the partial shield, but was swept into the propeller of the starboard wing of the airship along with the broken wing.
The bursting flames broke the wings on the right side of the airship, and the lost balance tilted in an instant.
Ye Shi, who had finally stabilized his parachute, stared at the explosion of fire and widened his eyes in surprise.
Damn it?!
Cobra maneuver?!
He was not the only one who was surprised.
There are also soldiers and officers on the Iron Heart.
They didn't even see how the plane approached.
It slowed down at the last moment and hit their starboard wings as a bullet.
The right side lost power, and in order to avoid overturning, the Iron Heart had to turn off the engine on the left, and the pressure of the landing airborne troops was reduced sharply.
However, the threat of death did not leave.
Even though they had entered the firing blind spot of the 100mm anti-aircraft gun, even if the opponent's propeller had been forced to close, there were still dozens of 10mm machine guns aimed at them from all directions.
Exoskeletons have certain bulletproof capabilities, but it does not mean that they are immune to bullets.
The boundary of the partial guide shield has crossed, and surging firepower is coming.
More than half of the more than 500 airborne troops have suffered casualties so far.
Many people were shot into sieves in the sky, floating to the ground, or hanging on the cannon barrels that stood like hedgehogs outside the airship.
Looking straight at the flashing fire and the last thirty meters away, Lao Bai pulled out the dagger hanging on the chest of the heavy cavalry exoskeleton and roared at the almost paralyzed communication equipment.
Even if our flesh and blood burned before it landed
We must also sprinkle all the burning into their eyes!
Cut the parapet rope!
As he finished speaking, he waved the blade in his hand, cut off the parachute wrapped around the exoskeleton, and passed through the surging rain of bullets.
Thirty meters distance is fleeting.
His feet were heavily on the top of the airship, smashing two dents of the insurmountable steel armor.
Obviously.
It's not as invincible as it seems.
Target 400mm main gun!
Pulling out the rifle on his back, he shouted toward the communication channel.
All the people who can move
keep going!
