Chapter 300: Counterattack (6)

An unfamiliar fighter plane circled back and forth over the war zone, blowing up one after another armed aircraft units into piles of burning steel junk. On the ground, two fast-speed tanks were ruthlessly slaughtering the mechanized infantry of the 288 Armored Division.

The first armored brigade defending position 1 was in better shape. The infantry and light armored vehicles scattered and retreated. There were no chasing soldiers behind their buttocks. Only the rainbow light that crossed the sky from time to time blasted some unlucky armored vehicles into a ball of fire. .

"The 288 division is over, after the 289 division, the 288 division is also finished!" The sweat beads from the two temples of Salmu merged into a line and slipped against the roots of the ears. In just 20 minutes, four long-range firepower points were connected and pulled up, and the four armored brigades of the 288 division were almost completely destroyed.

Knock the mountain and shake the tiger? Melville and the others planned a night's combat arrangement, but within ten minutes, the enemy was devastated and killed by one blow. Before the mountain was knocked, he gave the enemy a move to hungry tigers and set off a personal turn. This is not ironic!

At this time, with the lens on the third row of the display array, the surrounding scene of the institute is displayed. A full 30 vehicles that resembled tanks and long-range artillery were lined up, and among the thunder fire, rainbow beads flew around like festive fireworks in full bloom.

There are 10 large-scale minesweeping vehicles with a body length of 20 meters in 10 places south of the research institute. It's just that it was blown up by people and scattered into a calla lily, and its parts surrounded the black chassis like a moon.

In the 30-kilometer area between the research institute and the government’s combat headquarters, the wreckages of fighter jets, assault aircraft, early warning aircraft, bombers, electronic attack aircraft, and armed helicopters are densely packed. Many racks.

Except for the Rector military district, the armed aircraft that came to Wendenbat to support was due to overhaul and maintenance, and the air base parked in the northern part of the Capital Military District managed to escape.

The manned assault vehicles of the aviation combat regiments under the 287, 288, and 289 armored divisions of the Capital Military Region are almost completely destroyed. We must know the total strength of 2 armies in the entire capital. In just one day, more than half of the army's losses have been lost, and more than 20,000 people have died in battle. How can such a loss be so tragic.

The ground troops of the 287 Armored Division, except for mechanized infantry and fast light armored units, most of the heavy tanks were shot off by the opposing tank-type artillery. Even the "one-horned rhinoceros" equipped with new stealth armors are hard to escape and become discus **** with billowing smoke.

Approximately one battalion of armed locomotives "Demon Hunter" as pioneers rushed within 10 kilometers of the institute. According to the instructions from the headquarters, after the "Goddess" was destroyed, the old-fashioned rocket-driven method of loading explosives was used to take up the front line The task of mine clearance. There is no need to sweep the minefields on a large scale, as long as a safe corridor with a width of 100 meters is opened.

But how did you think that minesweeper met mine. The rocket locomotive ran into the hovercraft. The enemy’s 20 hovercraft relied on their powerful maneuverability and used the tactics of driving and running. A total of 60 "demon hunters" were flying kites against a total of 60 vehicles. It takes only half a minute to kill one-third of the "Devil Hunters".

In order to get rid of the enemy's long-range firepower, some soldiers in a "Saber-toothed Tiger" a2 reconnaissance vehicle rushed in from the poppy plantation on West Road, avoided the bombardment of rebel artillery, and entered the outskirts of the institute.

Most of these soldiers carry anti-tank rocket launchers. Some special soldiers are equipped with TV-guided and even sound-guided p missiles. As long as it can enter the buffer zone of the institute 1 km away. It can cause heavy damage to the tank artillery of the rebels.

However, the picture taken by the optical camera of the "-78" reconnaissance satellite showed that this squad of one hundred people is encountering an unprecedented attack. The Grim Reaper came from the underground and was 20 centimeters thick. A 1-meter-long spike drilled out of the ground to form a team of hundreds of people including the "Saber-toothed Tiger" a2 reconnaissance vehicle into a plate of human flesh salad mixed with blood.

Landmines? Mine, your uncle! Today, Salmu has only one thought in his mind. Governor Roger is about to be unlucky. What suddenly appeared on his territory was not a García rebel army, but a **** of death with a scythe.

This battle cannot be fought, it is almost impossible to fight. Although there is an "archangel", it can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy. But... what about Professor Faraday? Throwing a rat avoidance device, and then hitting it down is purely sending soldiers.

"Inspectors, collect and edit the images to produce important information, and immediately send it to the front-line combat command."

"Liaison officer, pick me up Melville." Salmu frowned, he couldn't go on like this anymore. It was time for this one-sided battle to come to an end.

"Yes." The liaison officer promised, just about to take over the front-line combat command. Suddenly, the satellite operator stood up and said loudly, "Colonel, an enemy plane is coming towards us." At the same time, the monitor array Light and shadow flashed on the huge display screen in the middle, showing a huge satellite bird's-eye view.

"The enemy plane? Is it coming towards us?" Sarmu was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately raised his head and looked at the big screen.

On the light blue halo of Recto’s atmosphere, one, two, three, four, five... a total of 15 small black dots were formed, facing the light, facing the space, like a cloud-piercing sea swallow, piercing Recto’s atmosphere, Enter the dark and cold universe.

"According to satellite calculations, the speed of the enemy plane is ten...16 Mach."

"Air...air-sky fighter? It's actually an air-sky fighter!" Salmu couldn't help but explode. It was originally thought that the existence of these kings who dominate the sky and abuse the government air force into dogs is an armed aircraft designed specifically for combat in an atmospheric environment. But I didn't expect them to be dual-purpose aircraft for aviation and aerospace.

15 planes, only 15 planes would dare to break through the space-based command platform. When the Recto Navy is a group of rookies?

"Order the -501, -503 two'Thunder Wings' fighter squadrons to dispatch, be sure to stop those rebel fighters. In addition, turn on the close defense module of missile attack satellites to provide fire protection for our fighters."

"Yes." The messenger replied.

"Colonel? The connection with Colonel Melville..." the liaison officer beside him groaned.

Salmu squinted his eyes as he watched the enemy plane flying closer and closer to the central screen: "The image data is still being transmitted. As for the contact, I will wait until we get rid of these obnoxious guys."

Indeed, the ground and air forces of the rebels are strong, strong enough to crush Rector's army and air force. but. In the void of the universe, that is the navy's territory. We must know that in this age, the difference in strength between the space navy and the inland and air forces on the planet is not even a star and a half, it can be called a world-wide difference.

There are 200 "Thunder Wings" and various missile launchers. Even a battle platform for laser weapons. It is a pipe dream to want to break through the navy's air defense system with only 15 fighters.

Salmu is very confident, just like Melville and Waters before the war, of course, the end...the same.

The port of a space station under the "Archangel" slowly opened, the landing pads stretched out, two aerospace fighter squadrons of -501 and -503, a total of 48 "Thunder Wings" entered the space within 2 minutes to form a joint attack Formation. Fired towards the 15 Viking warplanes that had entered low-altitude orbit.

"Thunder Wings" is equipped with two small plasma thrusters. When it is flying in space, because it uses mixed fuel mixed with zero source element, the flames ejected from the tail will have blue awns, and It can stay in a vacuum environment for three to five seconds, looking from a distance, it looks like a thunder track. This is the origin of "Thunder Wings". of course. If you pursue stealth special effects, the fighter fuel can be replaced with other energy sources. It's just that the fuel cost per unit mileage will be higher.

The "Thunder Wings" wing is mounted with multi-mode guided attack missiles. Below the fuselage is a 40-speed fire turret that can rotate 180 degrees. This is the standard weapon for fighter wars. If it is to rely on the aircraft carrier combat platform to conduct raids on ships and Starport, in addition to replacing high-power missiles, the rapid-fire turret can also be replaced with a large-caliber electromagnetic railgun.

48s15, there are various air-based defense weapons. No matter how you look at it, this is a battle without suspense. No matter how advanced the opponent's technology is, the fighter will always be a fighter, and he will never be able to reverse a space war with huge disparity like a large battleship.

indeed. 15 Viking fighters may be able to rely on high-performance equipment to defeat the Empire’s main air-to-sky fighter "Wings of Thunder" through close combat, kite flying, and coordinated operations. However, there are still space-based weapons around. Missile clusters, orbital cannons, and large laser weapons are not fuel-efficient lamps.

When the distance between the Viking fighter and the "Thunder Wings" was shortened to 30, before the two sides entered the battle, two attack satellites equipped with laser weapon platforms flashed silver light on the solar panels, facing the planet's main gun Eight 100-caliber laser cannons slowly extend from the surrounding honeycomb-shaped modules.

With a dazzling light passing by, 8 bright red piercings pierced the void and shot straight at the Viking fighter cluster 50 kilometers away.

The formation disintegrated in an instant, and 15 Viking fighters, like peacocks on the screen, fled towards the surroundings, and dodge the satellite's long-range shooting dangerously and dangerously.

8 high-energy lasers pierced the atmosphere of Rector. The thermal halo effect, atmospheric turbulence and diffraction phenomena formed a series of magnificent light effects at high altitude. 8 lasers with a destructive atmosphere hit the fields, hills, and woods, causing Pieces of fire.

With the end of an attack, the width of the 8 laser beams narrowed and then quickly disappeared. At this moment, the second round of the space-based combat platform's attack followed one after another. Hundreds of multi-mode guided fish launched by three missile attack satellites and a large number of kinetic energy bombs were overwhelming, bringing 15 Viking fighters. Snatch it.

At the same time, 48 "Thunder Wings" spread out, trying to ban the enemy planes and fight a beautiful siege.

In the face of the Rector Navy’s net-like offensive, the best way for the 15 Viking fighters is to abandon the assault formation and respond to the combined attacks of the opponents with a safari attitude. However, they did not do this. Instead, they plunged into the web of 48 fighters and laser-guided missiles like moths fighting fire, and made a suicidal charge with one enemy three and 48 with 15 strikes.

"Does the enemy's brains show off? Isn't this just looking for death?" A naval staff officer stared at the monitor array without blinking.

"Michelle, I don't agree with you. The rebels have always been dominant in ground wars. It is not too much to say that they are so powerful." Another staff officer sneered: "However, this is obviously the enemy's commander being excited. I got confused and mistakenly thought that our space navy was just like the Rector Army. It’s ridiculous. Today, let’s be kind and let him see the power of the Imperial Navy."

"Yes, the so-called'Celtic' holy sword refers to our space and navy."

Salmu was silent. He didn't think the enemy's head would lose his position because of a temporary victory. The rebels did this, maybe there are some considerations.

But... what can they think about? The combat effectiveness of the space-based combat platform is unquestionable, just like 3 missile launching systems, 2 laser weapon platforms, 1 super plasma cannon, and 2 space stations containing "Thunder Wings" fighters. Together, these space-based weapons have a comprehensive combat capability sufficient to deal with half of a medium-scale cruiser mixed fleet.

Everyone looked at the big screen with bated breath, and the distance between the two sides got closer and closer. 27, 24, 20...

Finally, the Viking fighter shot, 150 50 Lanzel flying thunder shot out, tooth and claws towards the "wing of thunder" opposite.

With the help of a powerful data link system, the satellite platform instantly adjusts its guidance strategy, and some missiles accelerate instantly. Faced with the Lanzel flying thunder, other missiles cooperated with the "Thunder Wings" to launch a tidal attack on the Viking fighters.

The speed of a Viking fighter was instantly increased from Mach 16 to Mach 20. The tail of the aircraft was full of flames, turned sideways, and threw off the 3 "Thunder Wings" that were pressing every step of the way, and flew to the other side with dozens of missiles. At the same time, another Viking fighter on its flight path also turned sideways, and the two sides flew in an opposing state.

then. The shocked gazes of Salmu and others in the command hall passed by. When there was no room for time, the rear thruster tilted and flew slightly, passing by the missiles.

The two Viking fighters are as flexible as Skyhawks. Those missiles do not have such good driving skills. Nearly 30 missiles crashed into a ball, and the continuous explosion burst out a long-lasting flame in the dark.

how can that be! how can that be! In the command hall, Salmu and others were dumbfounded. The glorious "Celtic" staff who opened his mouth earlier dragged the sleeves of the people around him and stammered: "I...I'm not dreaming. "

He has seen the use of narrow terrain to avoid missile attacks; he has also seen the thrilling scene of using a fast dive, and then pulling up a fighter plane as it approaches the ground to lure a missile into the ground behind him. But... the missile evasion method that tests both tacit understanding, driving skills, and psychological quality, like this, is really the first time I have seen it.

Not only commanders like them, but even the pilots chasing the two Thunder Wings were dumbfounded.

It was this brief stupor that allowed the death **** who was whistling from the opposite side to grasp the flaw. Seven 50 Lanzel flying thunders passed by, and seven dazzling fireworks exploded in the dark space, and the seven "Thunder Wings" became piles of space junk in the blink of an eye.

The two Viking fighters that had escaped the threat of missiles turned quickly, and their speed actually skyrocketed to a terrifying Mach 24, just like a harrier eagle rising into the sky after catching prey from the water, with a blue changhong, breaking through the missile interception net, Rotating all the way up into the sky, it took just a few breaths to get close to the two reconnaissance satellites -78 and -56 at the bottom of the 16 satellites.

Boom boom boom! The fire was blazing, and iron filings were flying everywhere.

Twenty 50 Lanzel flying thunders exploded in a straight line on the surface of the -78 satellite. The external equipment such as microwave receivers, solar panels, and radiation-proof armor shattered into countless iron filings in the violent explosion, and then they were thrown away and surrounded. The orbit, hitting -56 at a distance of tens of kilometers nearby, at an extremely fast speed, wiped out countless sparks.

"Report... It is reported that the external structure of -78 was damaged, and the armor integrity was ‘70’%." The operator shouted in panic.

After reporting, two Viking fighters dropped another 20 50 Lanzel flying mines. The 50-caliber rapid-fire turret on the surface of the satellite is simply difficult to lock their figure, and can only chase the buttocks of two Viking fighters, and UU-reading shoots light and rain in the dark void.

"50%!" The operator hurriedly looked back at the diagnostic program and added.

"Where's the laser cannon? What are you doing, quickly push them back to me." Salmu roared.

"Enter... Colonel, the laser cannon is charging."

"A bunch of trash!"

At this time, another wave of missiles was launched by the attacking satellite. Among them, 120 "Harpoon" medium-sized armor-piercing missiles directly attacked the two Viking fighters that were damaging the outer armor of the -78.

The "Harpoon" has a low range, but it has a strong explosive power and can accelerate to Mach 25 in just a few seconds. During the time when the laser weapons are recharging, they can only rely on them to drive away the two devastating Viking fighters. As for the magnetic track cannon, which has a good rate of fire and power, after the Viking fighters used the -78 as a shield, they collectively chose a misfire.

The 120 Harpoons did put a lot of pressure on the two Viking fighters flying at Mach 20. They finally stopped attacking the satellites and were forced out of the airspace where -78 is located. (To be continued...)
