Chapter 183: The Predator Falls
With the last five minutes left before the battle started, Major William and the others were ready to prepare for ground propulsion, considering the amazing air combat record created by the chaos in the Battle of Las Vegas, although dozens of Apache armed helicopters were ready to focus on ground propulsion in this battle.
After the two predators took off, Major William immediately came to the data receiving vehicle to watch the data transmitted back by the drone.
"No. p3oo9, wind level 3, wind direction southwest, flight altitude 2415 meters..."
"No. p2916x, wind level 3, wind direction southwest, flight altitude 2931 meters..."
"Click out the ground image..."
Inside the data receiving car, Major William approached the screen and asked the console.
"Yes, sir."
The console quickly linked the ground images captured by the two Predator drones to the car as he requested.
"There are no signs of buildings on the ground. If the satellite is not wrong, the only place where those Decepticons might hide is here..."
He clicked his finger on the video transmitted back from a drone. Major William's face looked a little ugly. He pointed to an intercontinental missile silo that the US military had abandoned for many years.
The United States built too many of this thing during the Cold War. Since the 1980s, it has been abandoned on a large scale as the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union has slowed down.
Because they are unwilling to continue maintenance or pay another sum of money to demolish, almost all abandoned intercontinental missile silos have not been able to obtain any effective use.
As a result, no one expected that in decades, such an abandoned silo would become a base for alien mechanical life.
"I have reported to the Pentagon that the military will restart the comprehensive inspection of abandoned silos in the country in the near future..." Major William said, looking at the screen with his eyes intently: "Sergeant, I need your plane to fly lower, it is best to be close to the silos!"
"No problem, sir!"
After receiving the order, the sergeant who was in charge of controlling the drone immediately controlled a predator to immediately lower the flight altitude from more than 2,000 meters to four or five hundred meters, preparing to approach the silo to shoot.
In the data reception vehicle, everyone came to the screen and prepared to see the situation of the silo nearby.
Suddenly, a red alarm sounded suddenly.
"Drip...drip...drip..."
“What’s the situation?”
Major William's face changed and he quickly asked the podium.
"Sir, the Predator is locked by a missile..." The young sergeant in front of the podium who controlled a Predator drone to reduce the flight altitude was pale and just replied, suddenly two missiles had appeared in the predator's surveillance field.
"No……"
Captain Robert covered his face in pain. He was from the special forces and knew that the flight altitude of the predator was too low and there was no time to react.
As expected, almost the next moment when he closed his eyes in pain, accompanied by a violent explosion, the screen of a data receiver in the control center suddenly turned into snowflakes, and the squeaks were all filled with radio wave noises.
"We were revealed... Damn..."
Major William stomped his feet with a gloomy face.
The sirens of "Didi" were not dispelled as the drone was destroyed, but were still thinking.
Almost the moment he stamped his feet, another panic sound rang out, "It's the Hellfire Missile...how could it be?"
"Hellfire?"
Everyone in the data receiving vehicle looked at the same time. Hellfire is one of the US military-style missiles. It is an air-to-ground missile designed by Lockheed Martin for Apache helicopters to target ground tank units.
Although now, Hellfire is not only used by Apache, and the United States has also exported a lot of Hellfire missiles overseas, it is certain that the export of almost every Hellfire missile is under control.
"Hellfire? How did our missiles appear here?"
Major William looked disbelief and quickly pushed away an officer in front of him to another data receiver to check the situation.
But unexpectedly, almost the moment his eyes fell on the screen, an explosion suddenly came, and then the screen flower turned into a snowflake.
"Preat... is over..."
The young non-commissioned officer in front of the data receiver turned pale and tears flashed in his eyes.
He has already tried very hard to control the drone, and after the radar has locked the missile, he tried to increase the predator's degree as fast as possible, and at the same time increased the flight altitude to more than 6,000 meters.
But this is useless!
Four Hellfire missiles hit him. Although he also fired two poisonous air-to-air missiles loaded on the drone to try to get rid of them, he was still hit by a Hellfire and exploded.
Bang!
The bones of the hand crackled, and Major William took a breath.
He looked down at the last minute on his watch at night. He finally held back and put it on his head, "Notify and prepare for the battle."
I wanted to notify the Autobots and let them take the lead first!
After all, although Major William, as the commander of the Sound Nest, had fought side by side with the Autobots several times, he also knew how their strength was compared to the US military.
But as a soldier, a proud American soldier, his pride does not allow the army under his command to attack the Autobots.
After hesitating for a while, the pride of the American soldiers finally overwhelmed everything. Major William still decided that the battle would still be dominated by the US military, and the Autobots only played the role of auxiliary.
At present, with the arrival of the agreed battle time, dozens of Apache armed helicopters were about to take off amid the roar, and the 1a2 main battle tanks in active service in the US military drove out from their hiding locations and began to gather.
The fully armed Major William also stepped into an infantry fighting vehicle, opened the full communication channel, and whispered: "Everyone has it. What we are going to launch today is a secret operation. This is the second operation since the establishment of our voice nest troops. Although we achieved perfect success in the last battle in Tucson, this does not mean that it is the same today. In fact, just now, the two drones we took off have completely lost traces!"
"...Obviously, our goal today is a more brutal and cunning Decepticon... We don't know much about him, and we can't even determine whether there is only one goal today..."
"But we are all elite soldiers from all departments of the United States, the bravest and most warlike soldiers in the United States... We are not afraid of difficulties, we are fearless, this victory will definitely belong to us..."
"Now, I order. The action begins..."
