Mirage country, main island, mirage capital.
Mirage Dabo saw the credentials of the Tang Empire declaring war on Mirage, and also saw the news that Mirage's main fleet was preparing to leave the northern port.
"The air defense alert has been launched and all radars have been turned on. We predict that the other side will bomb us first. The Zero fighter force has already taken off and is ready to attack the invading enemy at any time." General Mirage reported.
"For us, war is inevitable, so winning is our only choice now. We should let the Tang people know that Mirage is not a weak country that can be manipulated casually." Mirage Dabo said in a cold tone.
"We haven't found the specific location of the enemy fleet, but we speculate that it is approaching the South Island directly from the south." Phantom Vuk explained.
"Speculations are not reliable. I hope you can quickly grasp the enemy's movements." Mirage Dabo shook his head.
"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, we will definitely defeat the enemy!" Mirage Wuk said solemnly.
Mirage Dabo reminded disdainfully: "It's useless for me to rest assured, we need His Majesty Mirage Emperor to believe!"
"Yes!" Mirage Wuk lowered his head and assured.
…
On the afternoon of the day when the Tang Empire declared war on the Mirage Kingdom, the H-6 bombers that took off from the mainland of the Tang Empire entered the sky over the South Island of the Mirage Kingdom.
The appearance of these bombers frightened the personnel on duty at the Mirage Air Defense Radar Station who were on guard duty. They had never seen such a strange signal on their radar screen.
"Are these fighter jets?" A Mirage soldier looked at the signal spots on the radar screen and asked the commander next to him in disbelief.
The officer on duty also had a confused look on his face. He was sure that those flashing spots of light were enemy aircraft, but he had never seen such a large spot of light.
"Damn it, isn't this our dragon-slaying bomber?" After a long while, the officer managed to say this.
But his subordinates immediately denied this statement: "Sir, our Dragon-Slaying Bomber is not that big... Besides, how fast is this Dragon-Slaying Bomber?"
Frankly speaking, this is no longer the speed of the aircraft they are familiar with: in the Mirage Kingdom, even the fastest Zero fighter can only fly about 550 kilometers per hour.
In fact, there is a bit of water in this: Mirage's Zero fighter can actually fly less than 500 kilometers at its fastest, and it achieves its ultimate result by flying at an ideal altitude of 4,200 meters.
But now, the huge monster that appeared on their radar screen flew at a terrifying speed of 900 kilometers per hour at an altitude of about 8,000 meters.
In other words, the speed of this thing is almost twice that of the Zero Fighter, and its flying height is almost twice that of the Zero Fighter...
"The secret weapon of the Tang Empire?" The officers of the Mirage Kingdom were well-informed and immediately realized that they might be in serious trouble.
There was no way around it. The Tang Empire could often come up with some unexpected and terrifying weapons. Now that similar weapons appeared again, he didn't find it strange at all.
It's just that he guessed the "model" of the weapon wrong: he thought it might be a ballistic missile from the Tang Empire. After all, this was the first time that a similar weapon appeared on a country's radar screen.
But the number of these "ballistic missiles" is really too much... According to the radar, there are almost 100! Just kidding, with so many missiles falling, wouldn't their South Island be in disaster?
"No matter what it is, sir... what should we do?" the soldier asked anxiously.
"Notify the Great South Bay Port, as well as other cities and field airports... Sound the combat alarm! Command nearby fighter jets to check out the situation... Otherwise, what else can we do?" The officers on duty could only complete the air defense according to standard procedures. Warning, after all, he had no better way.
Of course, he was really shameless about telling a joke like asking a fighter jet to intercept, so he used a vague command to "go over and have a look."
The shrill air defense siren rang across the sky, and then the Mirage Zero fighter that had already taken off rushed towards the strange target under the guidance of the ground radar station.
"Are the data parameters given by the ground radar station wrong? What the hell is this?" In the sky, after the pilot of the Zero fighter heard the content of the report from the ground radar station, his first reaction was that the officer on duty at the ground radar station was crazy. .
"More than 900 kilometers per hour? Are they talking about monsters?" The pilot of another Zero fighter also heard the same content, and he was about to curse.
Their fighter jets only have a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, so let them intercept a target that is twice as fast as them? Is there any mistake?
"Ground radar station! Ground radar station! Is the data wrong? Is the data wrong? I heard the target is at an altitude of 8,000 meters? It has a speed of 900 kilometers per hour?" The goblin flight captain who led the team checked with some annoyance. Once the data.
"Yes, the data is correct! We don't know what the other party is! You go over and take a look! Go over and take a look immediately!" the ground radar station gave feedback.
"Received..." With deep uneasiness, the Goblin flight captain could only order the 10 Zero fighter jets that took off to intercept and follow him to the interception site.
Because of their absolute disadvantage in speed, they only had one chance for head-on contact, so these Zero fighters began to turn and climb.
There is no way around this. Their fighter jets cannot fly at a speed of 500 kilometers at an altitude of 8,000 meters. At that altitude where the air is thin, their aircraft can fly at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour.
And because of the thin air, at this altitude, the control of their aircraft has actually dropped to the limit. In other words, it is actually very difficult to control the aircraft at this altitude.
A turn that originally took more than ten seconds may now take half a minute. This kind of control performance cannot make basic interception actions at all, so these Zero fighters rushing to the interception area can only really "take a look."
"The altitude is 7,000 meters! Any higher, and our plane can only fly in a straight line." A goblin pilot complained.
"We are close to the target area! Pay attention to the top of your head and directly in front of you!" the flight captain leading the team reminded his men. He controlled his plane and continued to climb meter by meter.
The climbing speed of jet aircraft and the climbing speed of piston fighters are completely different from each other: the Zero fighter takes 7 minutes and 28 seconds to climb to 6,000 meters, while the MiG-19 takes less than a minute.
"Target found! Target found!" Soon, the pilot's horrified voice came from the earphones: "I saw them! At 11 o'clock! At 11 o'clock, altitude 8,500 meters! Height 8,500 meters!"
"I am
The planes he saw were completely different from the ones he was familiar with before. The wings of these huge monsters were actually slightly tilted back! They don't have propellers, or the goblin flight captain couldn't find the propellers of these monsters at the first time!
"What the hell is that speed?" The goblin captain couldn't help complaining as he saw these huge gray-white aircraft passing over their heads, but they, the Zero fighters, couldn't even turn around and catch up.
He watched helplessly as more than 1,500 meters above his head, a dense formation of Tang Empire bombers flew into the distance, but his plane could not even turn its nose and aim its cannon at the opponent.
This altitude is too high. Their aircraft is already at the end of its strength, its controllability is already very poor, and its climbing speed has been reduced to a level that can compete with a turtle.
But their opponents could actually fly so fast at this height, so fast that they watched their target fly away.
"They are too fast..." A goblin pilot couldn't help but complain: "And, what is that sound?"
Even though they were separated by a glass cockpit and wearing headphones, these goblin pilots still heard the deafening roar of the jet engines.
"Is their plane exploding?" Another goblin pilot asked doubtfully. He was so impressed by the heart-stopping noise that it seemed like it could tear his plane apart from this distance.
"We can't catch up with them at all..." The goblin flight captain pressed the call switch angrily: "Ground command! Ground command! We found the target! Their flying altitude is 8,500 meters! They are bombers from the Tang Empire! Confirmed, it’s the Tang Empire’s bombers! We can’t catch them…repeat, we can’t catch them!”
"Roger! Datang Empire bombers!" The voice from the ground command came through the earphones, also carrying a strong sense of shock.
"It's a new bomber from the Tang Empire! There has been no record before!" The Goblin Flight Captain continued to add: "Their flight direction..."
Halfway through, the goblin flight captain discovered that the planes they were tracking were actually faster in the distance. So he forgot the data he wanted to report and cursed: "Damn it! They are still accelerating!"
The H-6's maximum speed is 1,050 kilometers per hour, so a speed of 900 kilometers is not unusual. Since it was carrying only 2 tons of ammunition and had used up less than half of its fuel, it could now easily reach its top speed.
Amidst the roaring noise of jet engines, the Tang Empire's bombers began to lower their altitude, dispersed in formation, and bombed mirage targets throughout the South Island.
The bomb bays of these bombers were slowly opened, and then one cluster bomb after another was thrown out of the bay. These bombs corrected their falling attitude along with the disturbance of the air.
