Dragoon fighter

The air defense positions that the armed men in the desert had just established began to counterattack, and more and more air defense firepower began to join the air attack queue.

The three "Vyrons" of the "Clouded Leopard" team did not need Lin Mo's instructions, and immediately began to collectively climb at a high angle of attack to avoid the anti-aircraft firepower coming from the ground.

When the Dragoons were preparing to launch their second ultra-low-altitude "Skyquake" bombing maneuver, a report came from the radio channel that the Italian "Ares" squadron and the British "Viper" squadron were about to arrive over the battlefield.

"Pay attention to the air defense positions. Areas a6549, d5461, a6221, and d4367 are map marked. 'Clouded Leopard' team, maintain an altitude of 8,000 meters and remain alert!"

Lin Mo quickly marked the air defense fire points on the electronic map and shared them with all combat units.

On the one hand, it reminds comrades to avoid, on the other hand, it also provides attack coordinates.

"The Clouded Leopard team received it!"

Major Fan Kaizhe, the leader of the team's "Clouded Leopard 1" pilot, understood Lin Mo's order very well. When they eat meat, they also have to leave a mouthful of soup for the brothers behind them.

Everyone is the ace, and we finally have the opportunity to join in a round. What if some brothers are allowed to play soy sauce?

The "Monster" deformed wing fighter jets did not participate in the attack sequence, but continued to carry out large-radius patrols to suppress the formation. Two "Typhoon" squadrons were enough to fight.

He and the "Clouded Leopard" team only need to be responsible for air superiority, and the ground suppression task can be handed over to the "Typhoon" fighter group.

"'Viper' received, everyone is ready to launch a ground attack. We clean up the positions above the a6201 and d4317 areas. 'Ares'! The air defense firepower points in the lower half will be handed over to you. May God bless everyone. Go ahead! Young man. They!"

"The 'Ares' squadron has received it. It's settled. We all activate the cluster bombs. I will now start assigning targets so that we can have a beautiful air strike!"

After three strikes and five strikes, the two squadrons completed their combat mission assignments on their own.

Unlike Lin Mo and "Left Hand" who previously carried out reconnaissance and combat missions, and the main ammunition they carried were air-to-air weapons, the ammunition carried by the second batch of reinforcements was mainly ground attack weapons.

Although throwing weapons have errors and require more time to calibrate, they are much more powerful than missiles with propulsion engines.

Ten "Typhoon" fighter jets from the Royal Air Force and the Italian Air Force lowered their altitude to more than 3,000 meters above the ground. The 12.7mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns are no longer effective, and even individual anti-aircraft missiles can only be ignored. Only anti-aircraft guns still pose a certain threat.

Therefore, those anti-aircraft gun positions were the first to be targeted.

The killing radius of a cluster bomb can cover an area the size of a football field. The roaring and spreading bullet explosion is no less powerful than a grenade. Every anti-aircraft gun position is completely defenseless and covered in pieces of smoke.

The dense shrapnel and shock waves left the artillerymen with no way to go to the sky and no way to the ground. They fell to the ground in a blur amid various screams and wails of flesh and blood.

Often after indiscriminate bombardment, although most of the anti-aircraft guns were still intact, the artillerymen suffered heavy casualties.

Anti-aircraft artillery is a technical branch. It is completely impossible for untrained people to operate it forcefully, and it is completely impossible to exert the power of anti-aircraft guns. Therefore, the casualties also directly caused the paralysis of the anti-aircraft gun positions.

What's more, the intensive bombing also frightened the courage of those armed personnel, and the anti-aircraft machine gun positions were followed in the same manner. Caught in a sea of ​​fire.

The effective shooting height of those 12.7 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns is only 2,000 meters at most. They have no resistance to the arrogant fighter groups at an altitude of 3,000 meters. The opponent does not need to lower their altitude at all to carry out carpet bombing on the ground.

"The anti-aircraft brigade is being massacred! ~ Captain Froze has been killed. We are about to lose them."

The signal soldier in the command room in Caldera base almost cried.

After losing the "Kamru" interceptor group, the air defense forces that took the opportunity to stand out did not play their due role at all. Instead, they were massacred in pieces.

"An unknown number of armed forces were found near the base, and large mobile armor and large carrier aircraft appeared! We are surrounded! All 'Kamru' have been shot down."

The only two remaining "Kamru" interceptor aircraft still performed their final duties during the escape. They scanned at high altitudes for anomalies near the Caldera base, and transmitted the reconnaissance data back to the base before being shot down.

"how so?"

Hearing the bad news one after another, the leader Aqil's face turned pale. Has the great god abandoned them?

These bad news seem to be warning everyone in the Caldera base that the end is coming, and this base with hundreds of years of history is about to end and cease to exist.

Aqil's order from the beginning was actually very correct, but he far underestimated his opponent, especially since there was a huge variable that even the gods could not predict.

What they faced was a group of crazy aerial combat aces and extremely capable fighter jets.

The joint command's action plan and troop deployment all show the tactical thinking of absolute superiority and suppression, and will not give any chance to the base under the desert.

In today's world, there is no doubt about the determination of mankind to resist the invasion of the Third Age. If necessary, they are even willing to use tactical nuclear weapons, not to mention sending out a luxurious ace formation, even to attack any small country in Africa.

This kind of battle is much more important than the previous battles between countries. If any country dares to turn its elbow outward, it will definitely be attacked by countries around the world.

Compared with the future destiny of mankind, even some sacrifices are not hesitant.

Such examples are not uncommon, such as in World War II

The leaders looked sad. They still had two marine regiments, a mecha battalion, a chariot battalion and a 'Sauron' war beast squad. However, their combat effectiveness was greater than that of at least two "Dragon Rider Fighters" in the air. In front of dozens of fighter jets, it was completely a meal.

This is the natural suppression advantage of the Air Force over the Army. Both guns and cannons have range limits, but fighter jets are completely different. They don't need to worry about the range, they only need to drop the bombs.

"Chief! What should we do? If this continues, we will be doomed."

The knuckles of Os, the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, were clenched and turned white as he tried his best to suppress his anxiety, tension and anger.

The army was pressing down on them, and they were besieged on all sides. Just a dozen fighter jets had forced them into this situation. If the enemy's main force on the ground came to kill them, it would be terrifying.

The opponent was obviously prepared, but Caldera was completely kept in the dark.

"Shut up, Os."

Hassan, the leader of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, quietly winked at Captain Os. He could see that Leader Aqil was also angry. At this moment, he had the temerity to urge the boss to make an idea, which might attract the leader's anger. .

That's not the worst part. If the leader suddenly makes a stupid move, thousands of people from all over the base will be involved.

"Os, Hassan, help me make up my mind!"

Aqil's expression changed several times, and finally he put his hand on his forehead and let out a long breath. He had an unprecedented headache. He made repeated decisions in his mind, but he never had the best idea.

In fact, leaving aside logistics, the entire Caldera base can only produce two marine regiments, one mecha battalion, one tank battalion, one flying brigade and one air defense brigade. These two brigades have been completely wiped out.

There is also a team of "Sauron" war beasts, but these ferocious beasts are sent to the battlefield rashly without being able to form a large number, and they cannot play their role at all.

Without the cover of the air force and anti-aircraft forces, the Marine regiment and mecha battalion would only die if they were sent to the ground.

Os, the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, said in a deep voice: "Chief, we have only three options now: fight to the end, give up Caldera, and surrender. The enemy has not given us much time, so make a decision quickly."

His thoughts were not surprising at all, either one represented Caldera's defeat.

Everyone understands that they have no fourth way to choose.

Although the "Holy Presence" has been laid out for hundreds of years, people are born, old, sick and die, and warriors rotate from generation to generation. Some people's ancestors even live in this base under the desert. This base has been continuously expanded for hundreds of years. The base is their entire world

This inheritance that keeps pace with the times also limits the strength and population of the Caldera base. After all, it and the "Holy Presence" are absolutely shady existences.

"No, no, it shouldn't be like this!"

Aqil kept shaking his head as if unwilling to accept this choice.

Fighting to the end means that all the efforts of the ancestors have been in vain. He, Aqil, is Caldera's biggest sinner. escape? Where can one escape? This base is everything to them all. Without this shelter, they will become trees without roots, just duckweeds drifting in the wind, and they will die sooner or later.

"Chief Aqil, please calm down!"

Seeing that the leader was in a more entangled mood, Captain Hassan was equally anxious, and then said: "We must have other ways."

"What way? Wait, it's not that we don't have any way, we have it, we have it, we have to have it!"

Aqil seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly waved his arms in an extremely exaggerated way. His originally pale face turned red again, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and said loudly: "I haven't lost yet, I still have the trump card, clear code." A warning to the enemies outside that if they dare to take one step closer, we will launch nuclear warheads into New Delhi and Islamabad, completely razing their cities and destroying everyone."

As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the command room.
