Therefore, even though it seemed that the human air force was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, Zhou You still ordered not to retreat.
Zhou You believes that humans are only numerically inferior for a short period of time, but in terms of combat effectiveness and comprehensive combat power, the human air force is still far stronger than mice.
As for himself, he temporarily left the combat altitude and flew to a high altitude, taking advantage of the aerial view to look around.
His judgment was correct.
This group of approximately thousands of fighter planes was dispatched in coordination with the Rat Army.
Behind the mountains there was nothing, no more air troops.
The mouse commander obviously threw out all its air forces at the first contact. This was not only a bluff, trying to scare off the human air force, but also an attempt to use numerical superiority combined with self-destruction tactics to catch the humans off guard.
Perhaps this strategy has been clearly proven effective by rats in previous wars with humans in other countries and regions.
But this army of rats has clearly fallen into the error of dogmatism.
The same human beings, in the same country, obviously have different fighting capabilities.
Tactics that work for others may not work for people in Lelai County and Kangyue County.
Faced with the self-destruction attack by the Rat Air Force and the approaching dog fight, the Lelai Air Force was only slightly panicked at the beginning due to lack of actual combat experience, and then quickly came up with a response plan.
Through comparative observation, air commanders quickly discovered the differences between Mouse's self-destructing aircraft and other ordinary aircraft.
Most of the self-destructing aircraft are driven by electric power with stronger instantaneous acceleration capabilities. The body is one size smaller than other aircraft driven by internal combustion engines. Moreover, the combat strategy of rats is very straightforward and monotonous. Basically all self-destructing aircraft are very straightforwardly aimed at humans.
The large flying vehicle flew away.
With the commanders' orders, human's small combat units and medium and long-range weapons basically locked onto this self-destructing aircraft that poses a great threat to large vehicles.
Two full months have passed, and mankind will not stand still. Not only has it completed the miniaturization of heat-seeking guided weapons, but it has also used the information advantages brought by 4G wireless networks to re-develop miniature visual guided weapons.
After all, the information throughput of the 4G network is not as good as that of the 5G network, so programmers have further improved the encoding of video information based on the past.
Today's human micro-missiles can output video images with a resolution of 720P while occupying less than 300K per second of network bandwidth.
Relying on this image, human micro-missiles have two control modes.
One of them is to use artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically capture enemies. The advantage of the automatic algorithm is that it is fast in recognition and can coordinate and control multiple missiles at the same time. The disadvantage is that this artificial intelligence algorithm has a certain error recognition rate.
Another natural option is for the remote controller in the vehicle to use video guidance to perform manual control and guidance. The advantage of manual control is that the target can be selected more autonomously, and there is basically no chance of accidental locking.
However, the disadvantage is that human reaction speed is slower than artificial intelligence, and controlling missiles requires a high reaction speed from operators. Only a small number of elite flight control personnel, including Shen Ling, can meet the standards.
Therefore, the Lelai Air Force is using a guidance method that combines AI algorithms and manual control.
All visual missiles are allocated and guided by AI algorithms in the early stages of launch.
This is to prevent too many visual missiles from repeatedly locking on the same target.
Through the AI algorithm, the command center can take over all missiles at the same time and make reasonable allocations in a very short time.
When the visual missile is about to contact the enemy in the mid-to-late range, the remote control personnel will take over the missile and conduct a quick final stage lock.
Simple heat-seeking missiles are much simpler and can be ignored after being launched.
However, it is regrettable that the heat-seeking missile is designed to be a jet fighter with high-speed maneuverability and a huge thermal radiation source.
When faced with old-fashioned propeller aircraft that don't generate much heat, heat-seeking missiles don't perform very well.
Fortunately, the strategic planners had thought of this possibility from the beginning, so they did not produce many heat-seeking missiles, but devoted most of their productivity to visible missiles.
As for the electromagnetic radar enemy-hunting missiles that may feel more useful, not many have been produced. This is due to the characteristics of high-power radars. At present, humans still cannot reduce the radar to today's micro-missiles.
The main weapons in air combat are human-controlled barrage cannons and sniper rifles using explosive warheads.
All in all, the human air force did not suffer much losses. It achieved a very high enemy-to-enemy battle loss ratio and quickly wiped out the rat air force.
Next, the human air force, which had gained air supremacy, began to sweep away the rat troops on the ground from top to bottom.
Although the mouse commander reacted very quickly, when he realized that his wave of air force entering the battle failed to defeat the human air force and instead served as a food delivery, he had already issued new orders to the ground troops.
Different from the swarm tactics of the rats in the past, the rats' army now has a decent look. It has assembled mobile anti-aircraft gun positions on the spot and aims them at the sky above.
At the same time, the mouse's army did not stop advancing, but accelerated its advance and began to seize the commanding heights on the nearby terrain.
During the air combat, the human air force did not suffer too much losses, so it immediately began to drop bombs in an attempt to prevent the mouse army from controlling the high point.
I saw groups of explosive flames spreading and blooming on the ground.
Cluster incendiary bombs also fell from the sky one after another, turning into meteors and fire showers covering the earth.
At this time, you can see the sharpness of the mouse's increasingly sophisticated combat skills.
Rats took advantage of their body structure to dig out ravines one after another on the ground in a very short period of time, forming trenches.
There are also some rats that have controlled the equipment and have taken advantage of nearby vegetation, relying on trees and vegetation as cover to cover vehicles and mobile cannons.
Although the human air force's bombing seemed ferocious and indeed caused huge damage to the rats, compared with the rats' tens of millions of troops, the efficiency of killing the enemy was still far insufficient.
Over time, the Air Force's ammunition reserves began to continue to decline.
Many rats slowly rushed up to nearby hills, trees and other high ground.
As the throwing weapons were gradually exhausted, some of the human air force soldiers who had killed the enemy began to control their vehicles to slowly descend in altitude, trying to use less powerful weapons to cause single-point damage to the rats on the ground.
The plan of these soldiers is to quickly dump ammunition and then return to resupply.
But at this moment, the Rat anti-aircraft gun position, which was waiting in full swing, opened fire.
For a moment, I saw dots of firelights lighting up the ground again.
In Zhou You's eyes, traces of bullets pierced the sky one after another.
Zhou You had personally experienced the shooting accuracy of the Rat's sniper cannon before, and it was very terrifying.
He himself could rely on danger intuition and stronger small-scale maneuverability to avoid it, but other human single-rotor aircraft, some low-performance drones, and the one-man airships that arrived later did not have this ability.
This round of counterattack by the rats caused huge damage to the human air force. At least thousands of human air force soldiers were shot down in a very short period of time.
Zhou You immediately issued an overall order, instructing all air forces who had exhausted their high-altitude throwing weapons not to drop altitude easily. Even if they sacrificed some hit rate and chose to shoot at high altitude, they must not easily take risks.
Vehicles with strong maneuverability and long-range endurance immediately evacuate in the direction where the army convoy is coming to resupply bombing ammunition, and then come back.
As for slower-moving vehicles such as single-man airships, they arrived at the scene relatively late and still have some ammunition, which can just take over the firepower left vacant after the evacuated troops left.
Small vehicles that leave the aircraft carrier, such as single-rotor aircraft, cannot return to the carrier in the air. They must also evacuate in the direction of the army troops and prepare for landing.
At this time, Zhou You received an important piece of information from the command system.
People on the real armed helicopter, which used high-power optical telescopes to perform high-altitude observation and mothership functions, discovered that one of the rats climbed up to the high ground dragging dozens of large boxes.
The mice have opened the big box.
The things in the box look a bit like the large fireworks that humans used during festivals in the past.
If fireworks are successfully fired at these mice, it will inevitably cause heavy damage to the human air force.
Therefore, combatants on high-altitude helicopters applying for the use of real air-to-ground missiles can now be regarded as using one less real air-to-ground missile.
Zhou You agreed immediately.
The next second, the soldiers on the helicopter who had already searched for the enemy in advance pressed the launch button.
The air-to-ground missile that was powered on in advance immediately ignited, detached from the launcher, then fell from the sky with a long tail flame, hit the mountain top hard, and then exploded with a bang.
The large fireworks that the mouse had worked so hard to carry were all detonated by this real weapon that belonged to the old era but was now considered a major killer.
Only a deafening loud noise was heard, and thunder seemed to resound in the valley.
A small mushroom cloud actually rose from the top of the mountain.
At about this time, a formation of Langya 7 airships equipped with solar-charged airbags, a load capacity of more than 60 kilograms, a large number of bombs, and a floating height of more than 400 meters also arrived on the battlefield.
These Langya 7 airships did not bomb aimlessly. Instead, they followed the commander's orders, each selected some important commanding heights, and began to carpet bomb the commanding heights from top to bottom.
Just after seizing the commanding heights and preparing to build fortifications on the spot, the rat advance troops facing the human army immediately encountered a head-on attack.
It's a pity that there is no advanced enough artificial intelligence to use high-altitude observation to update battlefield intelligence at any time. Otherwise, with this round of bombing, at least the total number of rats' troops can be seen jumping down.
Seeing that the situation on the scene was slightly stable, Zhou You, who had once again emptied his ammunition, took the time to raise the altitude and returned to Wuzhi to replenish ammunition and take a short rest. At the same time, he also met Luo Xun, Yin Yan and other elite air force soldiers who used high-performance fixed-wing aircraft.
Got in touch.
During the battle between the two sides, Luo Xun and other elite soldiers undertook a variety of tasks. They not only focused on attacking high-value targets that could be distinguished by the naked eye, but also turned on the bioelectromagnetic radar throughout the entire process to find the location of the rat king in the army of rats.
.
It is a pity that in the previous battle of Fengquan Mountain, human bioelectromagnetic radar has already seen the light.
Although the nascent bio-electromagnetic radar worked wonders and influenced the situation of the war, as rats can share knowledge globally, as soon as this deadly weapon appears, it will soon be known to all the rat kings around the world, and they will figure out the solution.
Response plan.
The Supreme Rat King, who was in charge of commanding the whole scene, had no clues and no clues were revealed throughout the whole process and was firmly hidden.
Those captured by the bioelectromagnetic radar are just some middle- and lower-level rat kings that act as communication relay nodes, and the areas covered by each middle- and lower-level rat kings overlap significantly.
Even though Zhou You, Luo Xun and other elite air forces identified some of the Rat Kings and decapitated them, they were still unable to destroy the Rat's command system.
However, this is all within Zhouyou’s expectations.
He first recorded several areas reported by Luo Xun and others where the Rat King was clearly present, but the surrounding prevention and control firepower was too strong, and he personally dispatched them again.
Zhou You himself did not carry a bioelectromagnetic radar. On the one hand, it was to reduce his load and maintain high maneuverability.
On the other hand, he himself can adjust the structure of his brain to imitate the birds of the past or even the rat king of today, simulating an organ on the cerebral cortex that can receive and send biological electromagnetic waves.
At present, due to the limitation of its own bioelectricity supply capacity, the sensing range of the traveling organ is not as large as that of bioelectromagnetic radar, but once it gets close, the sensing accuracy is much higher.
Therefore, once he got close enough, he would be able to identify the Rat King.
I saw the wandering figures flickering in the dense woods, changing direction continuously at extremely fast speeds, passing over the vegetation at low altitude, and occasionally using jet devices to perform small-scale maneuvers to avoid sniper cannons and crossbow shots from below.
Then, Zhou You suddenly flashed past a big tree.
Under him, a group of rats gathered together.
There was even a mouse wearing bright red clothes that was obviously different from other mice of its kind.
Zhouyou continued to fly at high speed, passing above the heads of the group of rats.
At the same time, he fired a shot.
This time, he used a miniature anti-equipment sniper that was as huge as a machine gun compared to his current size.
The cone-shaped long bullet flew out of his gun muzzle with huge kinetic energy, but it did not hit even a mouse on the ground, but smashed into the ground.
Half a second later, there was a muffled explosion below the ground, the mound of soil was blown away, and minced meat and blood splashed out along with the mud. His big sniper used a delayed-detonation ground-burrowing weapon.
Explosive warhead.
This rat king, who was targeted by Zhou You, turned out to be not above the ground at all, but hiding underground.
The mouse in red is just a cover.
This little trick of the mouse may be able to hide it from other people, but it is meaningless to Zhou You who has the ability to see.
Then Zhouyou took off again and looked down at the bottom.
He could clearly observe that the movements of nearby rats within a radius of more than 200 meters suddenly became chaotic.
Obviously, this time, he hit a key node.
Regrettably, the confusion of these mice only lasted less than five seconds, and then resumed immediately.
Another Rat King's remote control overcame it again.
Zhou You immediately changed direction again.
The lower rat king who took over the group of rats was also in the archive he just obtained.
Once again, an easy kill.
Time passed little by little, and more than half an hour later, after the mice gained the commanding heights time and time again, but were driven away from the commanding heights by human bombings and plows time and time again, the human army convoy finally arrived at a distance only a few meters away.
Next to the three-kilometer national highway.
The army's combat units began to file down from heavy trucks and small vehicles one after another.
