In the Air Force headquarters, Xiao Yun listened to his subordinates reporting on various strike results with his hands behind his back. During the three days of strikes, his troops could be said to have achieved brilliant results.
"The communication nodes of the Qin Army have been almost completely silent. Electronic warfare aircraft suppressed a large number of communication channels. The opponent's equipment is too low-end and there is no means of counterattack." The commander of the electronic warfare aircraft is responsible for suppressing communications and interfering with radar beams.
He said confidently: "Anti-radiation missiles are really easy to use."
"Perhaps due to the range, the 183 fighter jets did not appear on the battlefield. Our patrolling J-7 fighter jets failed to find a suitable interception target." Another air force general followed up and said.
During this period, there were almost no decent air battles between the two sides. The Tang Empire's jet fighters had a very short range, and the opponent's jet fighters had a shorter range. The main forces of both sides had no contact at all, and the dozens of propeller-driven fighters that were shot down were just
Just appetizers.
"The J-6 has shot down those guys who came to die, but the large-scale air battle between the two sides has not yet begun, and our main force is also recuperating..." The general in charge of commanding the fighter jets said with his chin high.
Xiao Yun nodded, and then ordered: "Continue according to the previous plan, there is no need to modify anything... Everything on the other side is within our estimate, so there are no surprises."
"They have given us a lot of surprises. From the beginning of the war to now, the situation is exactly the same as the expected situation sent by the staff department... This is the biggest surprise, isn't it?" the adjutant joked relaxedly.
Everyone laughed. They had rehearsed this war countless times, but after the real war began, everyone discovered that they had thought too much of their opponents.
All the opponent's reactions were exactly the same as the most idiotic response method in the exercise. Even after the opponent's command system was paralyzed, the reactions of the grassroots officers and soldiers were the same.
Under such a situation with no surprises or accidents, the commanders of the Tang Empire Air Force even felt that they were just conducting an exercise, the most boring exercise with a script.
"Okay, gentlemen! We don't have many advanced aircraft, so let's leave the rest to the H-6 and J-6 districts." After Xiao Yun stopped laughing, he issued the order for a full-scale attack.
: "Deploy the main force and tell the Qin troops who are standing there stupidly to stop watching the fun and quickly surrender their guns!"
For the Tang Empire, the number of advanced A6-E electronic warfare aircraft, professional A6 attack aircraft, and A10 attack aircraft was actually not that large.
More than a year of preparation time was actually too hasty. If the Tang Empire was given more time, they might have turned this war into a different world version of the Gulf War.
But the war still came as scheduled. The number of advanced aircraft in the Air Force of the Datang Empire only met the basic requirements. They still retained a large number of J-6, H-6 and other aircraft, and even the main force was still such aircraft.
So after using A6 and A10 to paralyze the frontline troops of the Qin Army, the Air Force of the Tang Empire was ready to take advantage of the situation.
…
The Qin army wasted another day in Qili Village, still digging trenches out of boredom. The order they received yesterday told them to build fortifications and stay in place to wait for new orders.
Everyone started to take action. They used engineering shovels to dig out the prototypes of trenches, then dug deeper bit by bit, and then compacted the soil on both sides.
The weather is actually very cold, and it is very common for it to snow at this time, but the weather has been very good recently, with only a few clouds dotting the sky.
The soldiers of the Qin Army who had been busy all morning once again used the reserve cans they carried with them. The recruits ate happily and did not think this was a sign of danger at all.
The veterans were actually a little uneasy. They knew that if they used the food they carried, it would mean that their logistical supplies had indeed been cut off. But they were still reluctant to believe that they had been surrounded by the Tang army.
It is impossible for the war to be fought like this. This is not consistent with common sense at all: How could we be surrounded by the enemy so quickly? Most of the time, they can't even hear the sound of artillery. How could the battle be lost like this?
But this time, when they were about to open the heated cans, they heard the sound of gunfire very close to them in the open space next door.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!" The 40mm-caliber anti-aircraft gun was installed on a truck chassis. This was an anti-aircraft vehicle developed by the Qin Empire itself.
They used the Bofors 40mm caliber single-barreled anti-aircraft gun sold to them by the Tang Empire, which was welded onto a truck and was euphemistically called a "self-propelled anti-aircraft gun".
This kind of anti-aircraft vehicle needs to open the jack structure supporting the vehicle body before firing to prevent the vehicle from shaking due to the recoil of the artillery, so it does not have the ability to fire while moving.
However, there was an order before that all ground air defense forces were put into combat mode, and the air defense battalion next door deployed all the weapons they had.
The Qin army's combat effectiveness is still very high. They used air defense camouflage nets and built professional air defense positions, which are much better than the troops of other countries.
It's just that this time, it seems that the enemy they face is not something they can defeat with their experience and rigor...
In the sky, the J-6 is not a professional attack aircraft, but it has to play a guest role as an attack aircraft. Even if it is set to the slowest speed, it is still as fast as lightning.
In just a moment, it swooped down from high altitude, and then used the rocket nest hanging under the wing to fire a volley at the Qin army's position that was vaguely visible.
No way, this tactic is really not suitable for the J-6, because it is not designed to be an aircraft that can be used for ground attack.
But there was no way, the A10 of the Tang Dynasty was really not enough, and I felt that it was too backward to use the Stuka, so I used the J-6 to make up the number.
Anyway, it’s not that it can’t be used, it’s just not suitable. The attack accuracy is a bit impressive. At worst, wouldn’t it be enough to fly a few more times and use rockets to wash the ground a few more times?
Didn’t you see, the beautiful man in the air is so fast and is still shooting with rockets attached to him in the exercise? Why can’t the J-6 lick the ground?
Soon enough, the Tang Army's pilots did not even see the basic situation on the ground clearly, and had already passed the Qin Army's unestablished position.
The Qin army on that position also saw such a rapid ground attack for the first time... Their anti-aircraft guns fired a series of shells, and the tracer bullets and the plane even flew in different directions...
