Above the base of the 1st Army and Air Brigade, the originally open and clear night sky was filled with layers of steel behemoths. They covered the sky and dimmed the bright moon, like an airtight iron curtain spanning the sky.
Under the sky are the nine armed escort spacecraft that just took off.
These behemoths in the sky are the large fleet piloted by the "Dark River 5" and "Dark River 7" starships. In addition to preventing the nine armed escort spacecraft from continuing to take off, their purpose is also to There is the "rebel" personnel who wiped out the 1st Army and Air Brigade on the ground.
Soon, beeps rang out in the command cabins of the nine armed escort spacecraft, and their respective early warning screens showed that all the enemy's weapon systems were aimed at them, with the appearance of killing them in one hit.
The power disparity between the two sides was too great. Under the absolute force, the nine armed escort spacecraft were forced to stop climbing and hover in the low-altitude area.
All the spaceships were silent. They neither responded to the enemy's order to "open the cabin and accept surrender", nor did they fight to the death or fight to the death, showing the last trace of stubbornness.
They are stalling for time.
For every second of delay, the 1st Army and Air Brigade on the ground will be safe for 1 second.
Although there was a temporary stalemate in the sky, it did not affect the final direction of the situation. There was no suspense about whether the nine armed escort spacecraft would surrender or be annihilated. It was just a matter of time.
At the same time, the battle on the ground had entered a fever pitch. The 4th Army and Air Brigade, which had been frustrated in the first battle, and the troops from the Anhe Company headquarters launched a more violent attack on the 1st Army and Air Brigade.
They dispatched 300 bombers, 500 ground attack aircraft and 200 heavily equipped combat mechas, and under the joint escort of 800 fighter jets and 200 space vehicles, they rushed towards the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade. In an attempt to use large-scale air strikes and air battles to destroy its defenses and air power in one fell swoop.
Like the first wave of attacks, Zhou Yun did not order the first line of defense to enter the battle, but allowed it to easily leap over the line of defense. What awaited the enemy would be attacks from the second and third lines of defense, as well as deployments that had been made before the war began. There are 100 heavily equipped combat flying mechas hovering in the air, as well as more than 3,000 multi-functional drones and 200 space vehicles.
They will be a surprise force, combined with anti-aircraft firepower, to give the enemy a fatal blow.
In order to confuse the enemy, while the enemy was dispatching this air force, Zhou Yun ordered 500 fighter jets to take off to meet the enemy and attack them directly.
As soon as the 500 fighter jets took off, they immediately encountered an oncoming enemy group. The former was like a sharp blade piercing the latter's heart, forcibly dividing it into small clusters of different sizes.
In addition, these 500 fighter jets did not follow common sense, that is, they did not pay attention to the enemy's bomber formation, but chose to besiege its escort formation at the first opportunity. This attack was like a blow in the head, not only disrupting its combat objectives, but also destroyed their ability to cooperate.
The enemy escort formation had to temporarily abandon the bomber formation and began to attack the 500 fighter jets with all its strength. The latter knew that they were no match for the former in terms of numbers and firepower, so they flew to both sides.
When the enemy escort formation saw this, they thought it was the opponent starting to flee. Little did they know that these 500 fighter jets were luring them into an ambush circle that had been laid out.
On the left and right sides of the second line of defense, 100 heavily equipped combat flying mechas, more than 3,000 multi-functional drones and 200 space vehicles that have been hovering in the air since before the war began are deployed.
They are the horns of each other with the second line of defense, and they are also a pocket and ambush circle.
Zhou Yun's strategy worked.
After the enemy escort formation was lured into the ambush circle by the 500 fighter jets, more than 3,000 multi-functional drones on both sides took the lead in launching an attack. They flanked the enemy's 800 fighter jets and hunted them.
At a distance of more than 500 meters, the multi-functional drone relied on its flexible maneuverability and small size advantages to launch a crazy attack on the target. In addition, with the numerical advantage of almost three hunting one, the enemy's fighter formation was like a cannon. Swatting flies is generally useless.
At a distance of less than 500 meters, once the multi-functional drone locks on the target, it turns into a loitering missile and rushes towards the target with full power until it perishes with it.
Although the enemy has heavily equipped combat flying mechas and space vehicles to participate in the battle, like fighter jets, they are unable to accurately snipe and kill flexible and small multi-functional drones. What's worse, once the fire coverage is carried out, It is very easy to accidentally injure friendly troops. Read the book
These heavily equipped combat flying mechas and space vehicles can only attack the same type of combat platforms belonging to the 1st Army and Air Brigade on both sides that have not yet been put into combat, that is, 100 heavily equipped combat flying mechas and 200 space vehicles.
In an instant, the two sides fell into a state of melee...
Although both sides have ultra-long-range combat capabilities, they can only engage in close-range air-to-air combat under such circumstances, and a brutal air battle that is almost hand-to-hand begins.
Although Zhou Yun's side did not have a numerical advantage, they successfully lured the enemy into the trap laid by the ground air defense forces, that is, the air defense firepower network of the entire second line of defense.
For a time, extremely brutal hand-to-hand combat, air-to-air combat, and chase battles took place in the sky. Mechas struggled with each other, hugged each other, shot at each other, or tore at each other. The air was filled with broken limbs and limbs flying everywhere.
The enemy and our fighter jets either engage in one-to-one close combat or multiple aircraft hunt one aircraft. The entire sky is filled with exploding fireballs and aerial bombs as dense as a web.
The ground anti-aircraft firepower network was not idle either. They fired dense artillery fire, anti-aircraft missiles and laser beams at the enemy aircraft. They were like a death prelude, officially kicking off the fierce battle...
Two hours later, the sky fell silent. Except for more than 30 enemy fighter jets that fled, almost all the enemy fighters were wiped out.
Zhou Yun also suffered heavy losses, with only 30 scarred space vehicles and more than 50 multi-functional drones surviving.
The destruction of the enemy escort formation caused the 300 bombers and 500 ground attack aircraft on the bombing mission to lose their protective barrier and were directly exposed to the ground air defense firepower network of the 1st Army and Air Brigade.
Although in the previous fierce battle, the enemy's bomber formation caused considerable damage to important targets within the 1st Army and Air Brigade, under the joint attack of some fighter jets, space vehicles and mechas that were urgently launched and returned to rescue , the enemy had little power to fight back, and they were all shot down in just 30 minutes, turning into clouds of smoke and burning debris.
The capture failed, and the sky above and around the entire 1st Army and Air Brigade fell into deathly silence.
Until dawn the next day, the enemy had not launched a new round of attack. They were re-examining and evaluating the defense and combat capabilities of the 1st Army and Air Brigade.
For Zhou Yun, he successfully withstood the enemy's attack on the first day, but only achieved one-third of his goal.
A fierce battle is still to come.
During this interval, Zhou Yun, Liu Hanyang and the resistance team they led did not relax. They strengthened the second and third lines of defense of the 1st Army and Air Brigade, including adding air defense runways and landing platforms. Firepower.
Despite this, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the 1st Army and Air Brigade was captured, but as long as they held on for three days, they would still be the victor.
Just when everyone was preparing for a new battle, a surprising scene happened. Above their heads, they saw the huge enemy force led by the "Dark River 5" and "Dark River 7" starships. The fleet began to fly rapidly to high altitude...
On the surface, they seemed to be retreating, but Zhou Yun and others understood that the enemy was accumulating strength for a new attack...
For this reason, she immediately ordered 100 space vehicles to launch an emergency attack and pursue them along the path they took off...
Three minutes later, when the 100 space vehicles had just flown out of the atmosphere, what appeared in front of all the crew members was a cluster of missiles about 5 kilometers wide and dozens of kilometers long.
All the enemy's ships quickly climbed into geosynchronous orbit and launched more than 3,000 medium-range space missiles towards the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade, attempting to use non-contact tactics to destroy all the defenses of the 1st Army and Air Brigade in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the 4th Army and Air Brigade on the ground and the force from
The troops from the Dark River Company headquarters also launched an attack. They dispatched 500 land armors, 1,000 armed assault vehicles and 1,500 ground troops. Under the cover of 200 fighter jets and ground attack aircraft, they formed a steel band. The torrent rushed towards the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade...
At the geosynchronous orbit, about 200 of the more than 3,000 medium-range space missiles launched by the enemy broke away from the missile cluster and rushed towards the 100 space vehicles sent by Zhou Yun...
The enemy changed the attack targets and parameters of this part of the missile and re-initiated terminal guidance.
Just a few seconds later, undulating fireballs appeared in the geosynchronous orbit. About 80 space vehicles were hit. The remaining space vehicles immediately carried out tactical maneuvers and fire interceptions. However, with the second wave of about 50 spacecraft, The missiles attacked again, and they were hit one after another, and most of them fell into the atmosphere dragging their burning bodies.
Although the sacrifice of 100 space vehicles was tragic, it bought enough warning time for the air defense network of the 1st Army and Air Brigade. As soon as it received the warning, it launched about 5,000 interceptor missiles at the incoming missile cluster.
Ten seconds later, countless huge fireballs exploded in the Earth's high-altitude orbit, and the sky was burned red. Viewed from the ground, it was like a grand fireworks party, with spectacular and magnificent firelights filling the sky. .
Unfortunately, the 5,000 medium-range interceptor missiles did not hit the 3,000 incoming medium-range space missiles, and did not even have a chance to get close.
Before the enemy evacuated, it deployed a giant interceptor light network about 200 kilometers long and 500 kilometers wide on the path of the medium-range space missile attack and close to the earth's low-altitude orbit. It was like an indestructible shield, and anyone who came close to it Any kinetic energy weapon will be smashed into pieces, and even the shock wave will be absorbed.
Optical network technology comes from the Taibo people.
The existence of the optical network caused those 5,000 interceptor missiles to be wiped out in an instant, and the interception rate dropped to an incredible zero.
A few minutes later, as the optical network disappeared, the 3,000 incoming mid-range space missiles roared toward the station of the 1st Army and Air Brigade...
So far, the 1st Army and Air Brigade has never launched a medium-range interceptor missile into the air.
All has been used up.
