This Game is Too Real

   Survivor colonies in Oasis are mostly ring layouts.

   The main reason for this phenomenon is the miracle given by the spirit of the sand sea - most of the "river banks" are circular.

  In this case, the closer the area to the center, the more humid the climate.

   Therefore, most of the princes and nobles live in the central area, and most important administrative institutions are also set up here.

   However, it is precisely because of this that the Alliance does not have to choose carefully when setting the bombing area. As long as the distance and height are estimated, it is enough to throw the bomb as far as possible at the bullseye position.

   As soon as the Alliance air-dropped the flyers, Falcon City's city defense chief, Bofu, ordered the evacuation of the people in the central area of ​​the city.

   However, their majesty was reluctant to transfer, saying he would sit on his throne until the war was won.

   Anyone with discernment can see that they have lost this war. But the old man didn't think so.

   Until Myrdal's last interview, his esteemed Majesty still stubbornly believed that as long as Triumph City declared war on Ideal City, everything would be fine.

   "His Majesty is unwilling to leave the palace, he will wait there for Prince William to triumph... There is no way, we have to do everything possible to keep the palace, and never let a cannonball fall there."

   Hearing the words of the captain of the guards, the city defense chief Bofu frowned, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

   "The target of the castle is too large. We cannot possibly negotiate with our enemies to move His Majesty's court away from the bombing zone."

   What's more, he didn't think that the enemy would honestly drop bombs according to the areas drawn on the flyer. Maybe it was a trick to gather them together to kill.

   Therefore, he specially sent people to evacuate the civilians hiding in the "safe zone", and let them go to the designated area to avoid air strikes, or go home honestly.

  At least stay out of the way on the street.

  Myrdal also knew that his request was very embarrassing, but he had no better way, so he could only sigh.

   "Deploy more anti-aircraft guns near the castle." The firepower of anti-aircraft guns can at least avoid the dive bombing of tactical bombers. As for the high-altitude and horizontal bombing of strategic bombers, it depends on luck.

   No one can say where the bomb will land. Bofu nodded solemnly. "we can only do this.

  ”

The    Alliance built an airfield near the town of Bicester, and it is said that a large number of propeller planes were deployed. Not surprisingly, the bombers of the Alliance were probably going to take off from there.

   In order to intercept the Union aircraft, their ace pilot, Baron Arcante, has led the 1st Air Squadron to the front. Optimistically, the Alliance bomber formation should be able to intercept it shortly after takeoff.

   However, no one is optimistic.

   After all, even the Willant's "Knife" jet fighter was shot down by the Alliance, and it was a dream to try to regain air supremacy from the Alliance with only a few dozen "Eagle" fighter jets.

   Just as Myrdal and Beaufort were discussing which defense area to deploy anti-aircraft guns from to deploy to His Majesty's Castle, a guard with a rifle trotted over.

   "Report! Telegram from the Front!"

  Myrdal stepped forward, took the telegram from the guard's hand, opened his eyes and frowned.

   Noticing the change in his expression, Bofu stepped forward and asked. "What's wrong?"

   Myrdal handed him the telegraph paper in his hand and said at the same time. "The news from the headquarters, Griffin believes that the Alliance may send airborne troops to raid Falcon City, so we must be vigilant. He has already coordinated the return of the 20,000-strong team, if you hurry, you can come to us tomorrow. .” “Which 20,000 team is the 20,000th team?” “Ours, the team that was torn down from Oasis No. 9 before.”

  Bofu's facial muscles twitched slightly and he couldn't help saying.

   "What's the use of sending those guys over to show us how badly the Alliance beat them up?"

   Those people are the remnants of the plentiful capital. It is said that only 2,000 people have been reduced from more than 10,000 people. The ten thousand-person teams have been pieced together for a long time, but they can't make up the two full-sized thousand people.

   As for supplementary staff

   There is no manpower to fill up.

   Seeing that Myrdal did not speak, Bofort continued. "In my opinion, it's better to expand Lu Qiemei to let those guys come."

  Myrdal shook his head.

   "There is no extra manpower to use, even if the women in the city have children immediately. I can't come now"

   Those who could fight were sent to the front lines or to labor camps, and social production was almost completely stagnant.

   In fact, even if the war is stopped immediately, their economy is already finished, but because they are still fighting, they can barely hold their breath.

  Thinking of the kingdom's current situation, both fell silent.

   Looking at the silent Beaufort, Myrdal patted him on the shoulder and reluctantly encouraged him.

   "Don't worry too much, even if the alliance has ideas for our king, it is impossible to cross the tens of thousands of leftists on the border." "At least we have to get through tonight."

  Although Griffin thought the Alliance might use paratroopers to raid Falcon City, neither of them dismissed the telegram's threatening airborne operations and airstrikes as two completely different things.

   Even if the Alliance has gained air supremacy, the heavily guarded Falcon City has five or six thousand soldiers and more than 200,000 to 300,000 residents.

   Even if we really want to send airborne troops, it is unlikely to be tonight. No matter what, we have to bomb the tenants for a few days.

   At this moment, the air defense siren suddenly sounded in the direction of the east of the city. The piercing alarm bell interrupted Myrdal's thoughts. He looked at the dark night sky in the east, and frowned slightly.

   "Already the Alliance planes have arrived?"

   Bofu did not speak, but his mood sank to the bottom. The Alliance aircraft appeared in the capital, and it seemed that the 1st Air Squadron led by Baron Arcante lost in the end.

   Just.

   Could this be too fast?

   He didn't even receive news of the exchange of fire between the two air forces.

  If the Alliance plane really took off from near the town of Bicester, would the troops stationed on the front at least remind him?

   At this moment, a messenger came running in panic. Before he could open his mouth to report, Beaufort immediately caught him and asked.

   "What's going on in the east?"

  The messenger swallowed and said in a trembling voice.

   "Steel, Heart of Steel! That airship! Appeared due east of us!"

   Bofu was stunned.

   The same goes for Myrdal, who is standing next to him.

   Looking at the panic-stricken messenger, he hurriedly asked.

   "Heart of Steel?! Are you sure it's the Heart of Steel?" "I'm sure!" The messenger nodded vigorously, his voice trembling, "More than one post found it.

  ”

   Multiple outposts witnessed at the same time, it seems that there is no mistake. The Heart of Steel might have crossed the border of Oasis No. 2, and it was only 200 kilometers away from the capital.

   And it might actually be closer!

   Bofu frowned, and a dignified expression floated between his brows.

   "Looks like they're going to send airships to bomb the Janes" He had heard of the Heart of Steel.

   It is said that ordinary anti-aircraft guns have no way to take it.

   However, such an aerial monster is not invulnerable. As long as you find a way to limit its mobility, even if you can't do anything about it for a while, you can make it useless.

   For example, a phalanx of balloons and steel cables is placed on the only path of the airship.

   A long time ago, Griffin ordered the establishment of two special "balloon troops" just to deal with that guy.

   It’s a pity that the alliance has always been very cautious, never letting the airship go deep alone, but steadily and steadily following behind the attacking troops.

  Why is it suddenly uncharacteristic this time?

   "Is it crazy to send the airship alone into them?" Myrdal muttered, his eyes filled with disbelief. than command errors.

   He prefers that this is an intentional adventure by the other party. One thing, Myrdal did guess.

   Unusually pushing the Heart of Steel into Oasis No. 2 is indeed a strategic adventure deliberately made by the top leaders of the alliance.

However, to Chu Guang's surprise, Griffin's reaction was a little faster than he expected. He had just penetrated into Oasis No. 2 less than 100 kilometers when he collided with Griffin's "balloon array". .

   Balloons dragging steel wires rose from the ground at night, bathed in the tracer light falling from the sky and slowly passing through the clouds.

  The interior of these balloons is partitioned, and a thin layer of metal partitions is added on the outside. Even if they are hit by machine guns and high-explosive bombs, they will only be partially damaged, and the total lift can still be basically maintained.

   Several balloons connected by steel cables were launched side by side, and the blocking cables were interlaced with thinner steel wires to form a skirt-shaped cable curtain.

  Although the crew on the Heart of Steel discovered the situation on the ground at the first time, it was too late to slow down, so they could only turn off the propeller to prevent the wire rope from entangling the propeller.

   Hundreds of balloons are like huge soap bubbles, clustered next to the larger soap of the Iron Heart.

  The Heart of Steel, which was powered off, was still moving forward slowly under inertia, but the speed was much slower. The propeller, which was fixed by the steel cable, creaked lightly in the cold wind.

   Looking at the balloons floating outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, an unexpected expression appeared on Chu Guang's face, but it soon turned into a smile of approval. "

   Yes, this trick lets you learn. "

   In fact, at the time of the Battle of Ruigu City, capturing the Heart of Steel with a dense balloon formation was originally one of the options for the Alliance Command.

   The low-speed balloons are strong enough to break through the deflector shields of the Heart of Steel, and the wires suspended between the balloons can entangle the propellers.

   As long as the number of balloons is large enough, with the maneuverability of the Heart of Steel, it is difficult to turn around in time or avoid speed changes.

   It’s just that for a series of reasons, this envisaged solution was ultimately not adopted.

   One of the main reasons was the lack of time to prepare enough air defense balloons before the Iron Heart evacuated.

   And another reason is that all the balloon can do is make the Heart of Steel incapacitated, neither destroying it nor paralyzing its firepower.

   Compared with the price paid, the benefits obtained are too limited!

   Waiting for the airship to stabilize, Chu Guang retracted his gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the young man who was standing beside him as the acting captain. "Report Injury"

After    inquired about the crew, the acting captain arrived immediately. "The propellers on both sides are entangled with steel cables. But they are not broken!"

   "How long will it take to fix." "Within twelve hours!"

  Twelve hours?

  Chu Guang glanced at the map on the holographic screen, confirmed the distance from the current location to the capital, nodded slowly, and continued to order.

   "Drop the anchor chain!"

   "Also, let the carrier aircraft take off and cooperate with the artillery group to cover the deployment of the Storm Corps to the ground!"

  The acting captain stood at attention and took command. "Yes!"

   Following Chu Guang's order, twenty W-2 attack aircraft took off from the deck, bypassed the balloons wrapped around the airship, and threw flares into the airspace around the ship where enemy troops might be infested.

   At the same time, the heavy anchor chain fell heavily and hit the plain below the airship. After dragging for a while, the airship slowly stopped.

  Under the guidance of the flare, the artillery in the airship's gun bay quickly opened fire on the ground, releasing fierce fire on the enemy troops who released the balloon.

  A dozen trucks were instantly turned into scrap metal under the coverage of 155 guns.

   At the same time, the Stormtroopers deployed to the ground in an orderly manner through the airship's lift, infiltrated into the hinterland of the Falcon Kingdom in units of companies, and began a combat operation code-named "Retribution".

  Although it was an hour earlier than expected,

   But this small variable did not have any effect on the execution of the plan.

   When formulating the plan, the Army Command had already considered the situation of the airship losing maneuverability, and even made plans to completely lose the combat capability of the airship.

   Compared with the worst case, the delay of twelve hours and the deviation of more than ten kilometers are not worth mentioning at all.

  Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

   At the moment, the Falcon Kingdom and the Legion are still ignorant of the alliance's strategic intentions, and they only stay at the level of air raids or raids on the capital.

   Both hands clenched the handrails by the wall, and McClen finally stabilized his body.

  Although he was a little embarrassed because of the temporary bump, seeing the enemy in front of him deflated, still made his heart as sweet as honey.

   In addition to gloating, he couldn't help but say a strange yin and yang sentence. "Haha, even if you learn the tools of a civilized man, barbarians are barbarians after all. It's really hard for you to figure it out if you go alone without the ground troops."

"Oh?"

  Chu Guang cast an unexpected glance at him. good guy.

  So you know?

   However, Mackron obviously misunderstood something, and thought that Chu Guang was surprised by the means of the Legion, and the corners of his mouth turned even more proud.

  Diangrihui is not a pig. He'll be wary of you

  The airship in your hand, I thought you would put down the ground troops immediately after entering Oasis No. 2, but I didn’t expect you to be like that. "

   "I admit that I did have some surprises. We agreed that even if Griffin was prepared, it would be difficult to stop us before we approached the capital 50 kilometers. As a result, his reaction speed was more than ten years ahead of our expectations.

   didn't care about McLen's sarcasm, Chu Guang paused for a moment, a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.

   "But I'm still a little disappointed. I thought you guys had more surprising countermeasures. I didn't expect your cards to be just a bunch of balloons."

   Anyway, the war is about to end, so there is nothing wrong with testing the trump cards in the Legion’s hand. If there is a conflict in the future, you should be prepared.

   He originally wanted to see what kind of cards Griffin had left for his Heart of Steel, but it turned out to be a bunch of balloons.

   White Blind, he played so cautiously before.

   McClen blushed, obviously trying to argue something, but realized that the guy might be lying to himself, so he held back. "Oh, do you need a powerful weapon to deal with you? Once it loses its mobility, this thing is a living target." Chu Guang looked at him in mock surprise. "So you know." McClane was stunned for a moment. He didn't react at first, but he quickly recalled the taste. His face was visibly reddened to the color of pig's liver, his lips were trembling, and he was too embarrassed to speak. In a word. Admiring the wonderful change in expression, Chu Guang laughed and teased him.

   "I thought you all forgot about Ruigu City, but it turned out that you just didn't remember it for a while.

  Finold couldn't bear to look directly away. humiliated by the enemy

   Is this guy really his General McClane?

   Ignoring McLen who was so angry that he lost his mind, Chu Guang turned his attention to the vast sea of ​​balloons and clouds outside the bridge.

  The Stormtroopers have completed their deployment.

   They will destroy the main road network and industrial facilities in the Falcon Kingdom based on the intelligence gathered from the town of Bicester by the Skeleton Corps.

  The Goblin Corps stationed in Bicester Town will cooperate with their actions, where he has deployed a sufficient number of W-2 ground attack aircraft and 100 kilograms of bombs.

   They are confident that they can completely destroy the industrial achievements and infrastructure of the Falcon Kingdom, so that they will not be able to turn over for ten years, and use their bodies to remember this lesson.

   As for the "air raid" on Falcon City.

   He has already handed over the strongest trump card in the alliance - the Burning Corps.

   Those Awakeners who are fully equipped with exoskeletons will give a heavy blow to the soldiers of the entourage who are lacking in supplies and cannot even make up a few automatic weapons, completing the final repair of the war.

  Chu Guang's mouth curled into a faint smile. "It's up to you next."

at the same time.

On the deck of the   Steel Heart, the cold air whistled.

Looking at the gust of wind sitting in the cockpit of the cockpit, and looking at this plane with only a windshield and the canopy can't even close, Old Bai, who was wearing a light cavalry exoskeleton, was stunned for a while before he asked carefully. sentence.

   "Can you do it?

   The gust of wind, who was holding the joystick, was stunned. "What's going on?" Lao Bai couldn't help laughing and crying.

   "No. Brother, it's not that I don't believe you, I just want to ask when did you learn to fly a plane?"

   Mosquitoes can fly a plane.

   That guy died so many times and fell so much after all

   But you are an intelligence player who has never even touched a plane before, so when will you be able to drive this thing?!

  Gu Feng looked at Lao Bai who had been reluctant to come up with a puzzled look on his face, and after a while, he asked a question.

   "When did I say that I would drive." Old Bai: "???" Ye Shi, who was sitting in the machine gun seat, interjected with a hippy smile. "Don't listen to the gust of wind, we will

   Actually practiced and flew a few times! This thing is really not as difficult as you think. "

   Lao Bai finally couldn't help asking. "several times?"

   Gu Feng thought about it and replied. "Three times should have." Lao Bai: "..."

   "Trust me, brother," Kuang Feng gave a thumbs up and made a reliable expression, "Sturdy group!"

When    met those serious eyes, Old Bai was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and stepped into the open cabin.

"Fine."

   The big deal is a life.

   Before he came up, he had already saved the file, and he would die if he died, so it was a pity that this exoskeleton with a unit price of 10,000 silver coins was on him. Looking at the simple layout in the cabin, Lao Bai always felt something was wrong and asked cautiously.

   "Is this made by mosquitoes again?" Gu Feng said succinctly.

  "w-1A, which is an improved version of W-1. Now a plane can take three, and the actual overload is not a big problem. You may not know it in the rear. In fact, we are also exposed to this thing in the past two days.

   was originally a W-1 modification.

   No wonder there are so many racks.

  Old Bai turned his head and glanced at the dark patch on the deck where he was parked. For some reason, he was not surprised at all.

   It's just that the shape of the planes always gave him an ominous premonition.

  Although he arrived at the front a few days ago, he only boarded the Heart of Steel today. During this period of time, Kuang Feng has been serving as the acting corps commander, and naturally Kuang Feng was in charge of this operation. However, before the action started, Lao Bai still carefully read the mission briefing.

   He will take a glider to break through the anti-aircraft firepower of Falcon City under the cover of the Goblin Corps, land in the city with the air bombs, and capture the palace of Falcon City with the support of air units.

   However, he originally thought that at least the pilots of the Goblin Corps would drive the transport plane to their destination, but he did not expect that the transport plane would have to be driven by themselves.

  Although I believed that Gu Feng would definitely not deceive me, and my brothers would definitely not make jokes about such a crucial task, Lao Bai still asked cautiously.

   "This W-1A, what has been changed?" Gu Feng replied casually.

"The fuselage and wingspan were extended, and the engine was canceled." "Oh," Lao Bai, who didn't know much about planes, nodded forcefully, but a shock quickly responded, "Wait, why did you cancel it? !" Gu Feng didn't answer, but looked out of the cabin, and several power animals who were mixed with the airship made an OK gesture.

   "Good wind, ready to go!"

   That Mengxin smiled and also made an OK gesture, then took out a lighter and ignited the two forearm-thick rockets hanging behind the **** of the plane.

  The hot tail flame spurted out, and the huge thrust pushed the light glider to accelerate forward. The trembling of the wings made Old Bai's heart almost reach his throat.

   "Fuck?! Really?!"

   He would rather skydive than sit on this thing!

  However, unlike him, Gu Feng's eyes were filled with excitement at the moment, and his expressionless face flashed with a different kind of madness.

   He had never done something so exciting.

   And still with the good brothers - "Trust me, I have calculated. It can be reached."

   pulled down the goggles on his helmet, his hands tightly gripping the joystick.

   "Sit tight!
