Sun Rui flew the pirate fighter jet across the battlefield filled with thick smoke. From his point of view, he could hardly find any targets.
Although the thick smoke near the beach has dissipated, there are already friendly forces there, and it seems to be a lively place with huge crowds of people and busy traffic.
Not far away, in a place with black smoke, the Mirage Army's ground troops were crumbling, but the crumbling troops of dozens and dozens of people were simply not worth the waste of ammunition fired by pirate fighter jets.
In fact, fighter pilots will not perform ground strafing missions. Unless they specifically want to join the battle and apply for it, or they are ordered by someone above.
Because the battlefield mission of fighter pilots is to "patrol", their primary goal is to ensure that enemy aircraft do not enter the battlefield airspace to cause trouble, instead of wasting precious ammunition to deal with low-value targets on the ground.
What should you do if you run out of ammunition and then an enemy plane happens to appear? Or after you return from a similar mission, the ground crew will waste time helping you correct the trajectory of the aircraft cannon and repair and inspect the aircraft, which will seriously affect your recovery.
Flying time.
Sun Rui drove the pirate fighter jet around the battlefield, and when he looked down at the earth again, he saw an interesting picture.
The armored vehicles of the Tang Army were covered with huge national flag dragon emblems, following some Type 59 tanks that had no place to cover the national flag, and were driving forward desperately.
In order to prevent accidental damage, some of the Tang Army's Type 59 tanks also temporarily sprayed bright yellow on the engine hoods. This color was the Tang Army's favorite identification color to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
However...these identification marks were almost blackened by the tank exhaust...but even though they looked funny, they still pointed the way for the Tang Army aircraft in the sky.
Soon, more than 30 Stuka dive bombers, under the cover of ten pirates, passed through the entire battlefield. They were going to support Leping and the imperial paratroopers in the direction of Dongshan. Sun Rui watched them go away and then circled around.
One circle returned to the vicinity of the landing site.
It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the Tang Air Force once again appeared on the battlefield: at first they were several modified flying fortresses used for navigation. They shook their huge and slow figures and turned around after approaching the coastline.
Returned.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Rui saw a spectacular sight: at least 80 H-6 jet bombers appeared with roaring engines, flying over his head in the blink of an eye. He could hear the sound of the roaring mountains and tsunami clearly even with headphones on.
Chu.
"Wow! So handsome!" Of course Sun Rui's wingmen also saw this scene. They didn't bother to look at the black smoke and the battlefield below their feet. They looked up at those silver-white huge swept-wing aircraft.
Arranged neatly and flew into the distance.
"This speed is simply terrifying. Now that we are climbing, they have disappeared when we fly to their height." Sun Rui also sighed. In order to see more of these bombers, they changed their route and went in the same direction with them, but even if
That's right, they were easily thrown away by each other.
"It's not like you haven't practiced with the J-6 before. You still don't know how fast they are?" the wingman pilot said with a smile on the channel.
Thinking of the terrifying fighter jets that could break the speed of sound, Sun Rui showed an envious expression on his face: "Our navy is about to have one, and I heard they are all being tested."
Tang Mo is indeed preparing new weapons for his navy: not only navy-specific jet fighters, but also catapult-type aircraft carriers that can take off jet fighters.
Both of these things are comprehensive manifestations of national strength, and are products of a new era that can completely differentiate themselves from the technology of this world.
If the current propeller-driven fighter jets, tanks, and battleships can still be copied and learned from, then the new technologies that will be developed in the future cannot be caught up by simple imitation.
Just putting two jet engines side by side and making them work stably would be impossible without ten years of effort.
As for how difficult it is to produce a ring of blades for a new jet engine, just ask Rabbit how much sweat he has put in and how much hardship he has experienced in decades of hard work.
After Mirage Wu Zhong hung up the phone, he looked silently at the staff officer beside him. After a while, he spoke and said sadly: "The coast defense line is over. Mirage Wu Bian has failed to live up to my hopes for him..."
The staff officer was somewhat dismissive of this statement: the tank unit originally planned to support Mirage Wubian did not arrive on time. Mirage Wubian could only face the attack of the entire Tang Army's landing force alone. It would be strange if his troops did not collapse.
But he couldn't say that, because if he did, he would probably be dragged out and killed by the angry Mirage Wu Zhong.
So he could only say: "General! If the 2nd Armored Division still cannot break through Leping's defense line, we have to consider... the defense line."
At this moment, except for the defense line on the seaside, the Mirage troops have not built a large number of defensive fortifications on the South Island.
In other words, if the Tang Army breaks through the beach defense line, then all Mirage troops performing counterattack missions in the wild must face the risk of being surrounded and annihilated.
Then, allowing these troops to switch from offense to defense and build a new line of defense is something that the commanders of the Mirage Kingdom have to consider.
When the Tang army troops arrived, they were still in an offensive posture in the field... It was a scene that was really unimaginable.
Are you kidding me, fighting against the Tang Army in the wild? The grass on the last grave that did this was three feet high... If the Mirage Army has this fighting capacity, then how about they go directly to fight against the Ice Empire to expand their territory...
"It's too late... Fight from the southern beach, and their armored units will be able to advance to Leping in an hour or two at most... Let the troops stay in place now, and the most they can do is build a trench." Mirage Zhongyao
He shook his head and said.
It was not possible to let the troops stay in place. The tanks of the Tang Army rushed up. Together with the paratroopers of the Tang Army behind the defense line, his defense line was as brittle as a piece of paper. Wasn't it smashed to pieces in an instant?
He now has only two options: the first is to have his troops rush through Leping as soon as possible, collide with the Tang Army's armored forces, and have a tank battle; the other is to order the troops to retreat immediately and find good terrain
Rely on building fortifications.
Unfortunately, neither of these methods worked: by continuing the attack, he had no way to ensure that his armored units could break through the enemy's paratrooper defenses.
The commanders of the 2nd Armored Division and the 3rd Armored Division both sent him messages saying that they had been interfered by the enemy's air force and were unable to complete the breakthrough mission on time.
This is a typical blame-shifting behavior, because in the previous few hours, they had not been able to break through the defense line of the Tang Army's paratroopers.
Of course, now is not the time to investigate the responsibility, and Mirage Wuzhong is not in the mood to care about why the two main armored divisions are so bad at fighting.
If we can't break through, is it possible to retreat? Retreating is actually possible, just ask the Tang Empire's planes not to interfere.
The question is, is it possible? The Mirage troops that have lost battlefield air superiority will be interfered by Tang Army bombers during their retreat. As for how much heavy equipment they will lose during their retreat, only God knows.
However, it is obviously no longer the time to dwell on this issue. Before Mirage Wuzhong could figure out how to let his troops continue to fight in such an unfavorable situation, the Tang Air Force's third bombing began.
At least eighty jet bombers dropped bombs again, blowing up a railway bridge in the middle of the South Island and wiping out a night's efforts by the Mirage engineering troops at two field airfields.
The two half-repaired field airports were once again covered by countless cluster bombs. The runways were full of unexploded submunitions and craters. It was impossible to continue using them in a short period of time.
The same goes for railways. Cluster bombs paralyzed the north-south railway line that the Mirage Army relied on. The paralysis of this line seriously affected the speed of the Mirage Army's 3rd Corps moving southward, which landed in the northern part of the South Island.
Less than an hour after the bombing ended, the supplies that the Tang Army paratroopers had been waiting for arrived! More than 100 Type 130 transport aircraft once again flew across the sea and arrived on the battlefield.
In order to ensure the absolute safety of these aircraft, the Navy deployed at least 30 pirate fighter jets to escort these big guys.
There were less than 20 Mirage Zero fighter jets that took off like crazy to intercept, and all of them were shot down. Before the shooting down, the crazy Mirage pilot crashed a 130 transport plane, and another pirate had to make an emergency landing because of a malfunction.
into the area controlled by Tang paratroopers.
Fortunately, several pilots on the crashed 130 transport plane successfully parachuted and landed safely in the Tang Army's control area near the beach...
The Tang paratroopers who had regained supplies were once again "strengthened". They had enough RPG rocket launchers, a sufficient number of rifle grenades, more machine gun belts, and more mortar shells.
The pressure once again came to the side of the Mirage Armored Forces. When they tried to launch another attack and were beaten back by more than a dozen RPG rockets flying towards them, they knew that they would never be able to regain their happiness in this life.
It’s a mountain village.
However, unwilling to fail, they launched another attack more than an hour later. This time they dispatched almost all heavy tanks.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the Tang Army's planes to return temporarily, the Mirage Army assembled more than 1,000 infantrymen, covering a dozen tanks, and stormed toward the Tang Army's defensive positions.
Frankly speaking, this is almost their last chance. If they fail again this time, then they will have to think about whether to run away after dark.
