At night, the Tang Empire's fleet began to become busy and noisy. The decks of the aircraft carriers were brightly lit. Invader attack planes began to take off one after another. "Trucks" loaded with bombs formed a huge formation in the sky.
At least 150 aircraft participated in the operation. Because it was a night operation, there were relatively few flying shark fighter jets covering the operation. The early warning aircraft commanded a large number of intruders and launched the first round of air strikes.
The first step of the Tang Empire's landing campaign has begun! The prowlers responsible for electronic interference have already entered the opponent's airspace first. They are like entering an uninhabited land, making the opponent's radar screen full of desperate noise.
All the dwarves' air defense warning radars had lost their function, but they also knew at the same time that Tang's air raid was coming.
The air raid siren was sounded, and the shrill sound echoed over the entire steel barrier. The dwarf anti-aircraft soldiers wearing steel helmets rushed out of their barracks and crowded around the anti-aircraft guns that began to raise their barrels one by one.
They are equipped with a large number of 76 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns. Although they know that these things are not very effective, they still deploy at least 300 similar anti-aircraft guns here.
If you include the larger 100 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, as well as the smaller caliber 40 mm and 37 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, the dwarves have as many as thousands of anti-aircraft guns here.
But looking at the dark sky, all the anti-aircraft gunners didn't know what to do: whether they should fire, where to fire, what height to set the fuse... they didn't know any of this.
At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly burst out on the ridge in the distance. Everyone's attention was attracted by the fire, and after a while, the dull sound of explosions reached the ears of these anti-aircraft gun shooters.
"That's Radar Station No. 8..." A loader holding a shell said to his companions at a loss.
"Damn...it seems to be over there." Another dwarf gunner felt that waiting here was a waste of time.
Amidst the burning fire, the steel structure of the radar station antenna was twisting and collapsing. It was obvious that it was no longer possible to provide combat data such as coordinate parameters for the surrounding anti-aircraft gun positions.
"Dang!" On the battlefield, a pillar of light shot into the sky, illuminating the clouds in the sky. The searchlights on the position were almost self-exploding in search of the slim chance.
There were also brave warriors among the dwarves. They shouted Ula's slogans, turned on searchlights one by one, and beams of light began to sweep the sky above their heads.
It's a pity that they found nothing... The Tang Empire's plane has not arrived yet. The attack just now was a masterpiece of anti-radiation missiles. The Prowler electronic warfare aircraft that launched it is still at least dozens of kilometers away from here.
In the dwarf air base where the alarm bells were ringing, the pilots had already put on their equipment nervously. It's a pity that they didn't wait for the order to take off for combat, because the radar had completely lost its function.
"Without ground instructions, we don't know where the opponent's plane is, and taking off will have no effect." The air force commander spread his hands and said that there was nothing he could do.
If it was daytime, he could take off the plane based on the information provided by the ground observation station and reluctantly respond. Now... think about it, let's forget it...
"Isn't there a small radar on the plane? We can search after we get up there..." The dwarf pilots are very brave. Many of them have fought against the Yangmu Empire's air force and made huge sacrifices, so they are not I don’t think the Tang Empire’s air force was that terrifying.
Those dwarf pilots who kept their mouths shut and did not speak had all been trained in the Tang Empire. They knew to some extent the terror of their opponents, but their position made them keep their mouths shut.
"The No. 1 radar station was destroyed...the antenna was blown up and cannot be repaired in a short time." In the dwarf headquarters in Everwinter Harbor, the adjutant covered the phone's microphone and reported to General Moshui, who was sitting quietly in front of the map. .
Moss did not panic, because according to the original plan, those equipment were all bombed for the Tang Army. Even if they were lost, as long as the coastal defense force's position was still there and not heavily attacked, he would have achieved his goal.
"It doesn't matter, let them explode! The enemy has already made a move. The first move is no surprise. It is within our expectations... If they haven't changed the second move, then... we have hope of winning." Since Everything has been calculated, which means everything is moving in the right direction. Moss was waiting for the paratroopers of the Tang Army to enter around dawn.
As land-based bombers taking off from the Beidao base joined the battlefield, the Tang Army's bombing intensity suddenly doubled.
Many of the Iron Bulwark's visible concrete structures were struck by a new type of precision bomb, and the dwarf forces suffered casualties.
Ordinary bombs carpet-bombed the dwarven roads and nearby barracks, destroying many ground buildings. Cluster bombs covered several important airports in the Dwarf, paralyzing aircraft waiting to take off and land at these airports.
News of being attacked was everywhere for a while, but Moss still didn't show any signs of panic. Everything was still expected, except that the intensity of the Tang Army's bombing was much higher than expected.
According to Moss's estimate, only about one-tenth of the Tang Army's bombs could actually pose a threat to important targets. But in fact, the Tang army used a large number of precision guided bombs, and the attack accuracy was very high.
The dwarf's fortifications have long been positioned by satellite, and the photos have been sent to the pilots. This fixed target is really the easiest target to attack, and there is no technical difficulty at all.
After losing many second- and even third-line defense nodes, and more than half of the radar positions and power plants and other facilities being attacked, Moss became somewhat nervous.
If the Tang Army's strike accuracy has been maintained at this level, then the number of defenses he prepared will appear to be less. If the Tang army keeps bombing, there is a real risk that the steel barrier will not be able to hold up.
"Come quickly..." In his heart, Moss prayed secretly. He hoped that the second blow to the Tang Empire would fall quickly, and everything would continue to play out according to his script.
When the adjutant who had just learned that the No. 5 radar station had been bombed came back to report the damage, he noticed a detail. Moss's fingers on the armrest of the chair were rubbing back and forth regularly. Obviously... Moss was no longer like the last one. I started to feel so calm.
