As the mission progresses, the sky is getting brighter now.
Judging from the sparse clouds in the sky, it will be a good weather, which is indeed very convenient for units operating in the air. This allows them to attack without going through clouds that block their vision, and the whole process can be easily judged visually.
Your own flying posture to ensure your own safety during flight.
The two squadrons, Polaris and Fengxing, distanced themselves, circled and descended, and kept observing the ground.
The canyon seems to be dark because there is no direct sunlight, so except for the eye-catching fortress and the surrounding smoke that rose up after the attack, the rest of the things are blurry.<
/p>
When the offensive started, the missiles and rockets fired by the imperial helicopter gunships at the fortress' firepower points immediately lit up the canyon. It was extremely clear from the sky, and bright spots cut through the dim valley, forming a bright trajectory.
These tracks turned into a rising fireball after contacting the fortress.
It is not known how many enemy units were destroyed in this round of attacks, but judging from the real-time statistics of the attacks by the ground command, it seems that the enemy fire points suppressed by the armed helicopters were only a small part of the fortress fire points.
Of course, at this time, the enemy also entered a state of full alert when the first wave of air strikes arrived, and they immediately launched a counterattack. It seemed that there were heavy artillery inside the fortress, and these firepower points began to shoot at the Imperial Army's position -
—And they seem to have had fire tables and markers before, so every attack can accurately hit the vicinity of the imperial army.
If the vanguard of the empire hadn't dispersed first, they would have been severely suppressed.
Of course, the empire was not beaten in vain. The armed helicopters shifted their firepower and began to suppress these firepower points.
The advancing tanks on the ground also began to fire while marching to suppress the enemy's checkpoints and defenses deployed about 500 to 1,000 meters in front of the fortress. These defenses were relatively close, within the reach of tank guns and artillery-launched missiles.<
/p>
However, as the imperial troops advanced, the helicopters did not follow them forward, but remained hovering at a long distance, using sufficient missiles to provide support - although the enemy's air defense had already suffered a lot in the first wave,
There may still be hidden close-range mobile air defense, so these armed helicopters do not dare to take too many risks.
In the sky, the pilots were naturally not idle after lowering their altitude. As the offensive unfolded, the enemy's firepower points were exposed a lot. There were many things that the ground troops could not handle, so they had to be handed over to them.
JTAC personnel on both sides of the mountaintops coordinated air units to attack the targets.
Laser-pointed missiles are very accurate and are particularly suitable for such precise attacks. Not long after JTAC aimed the laser at the exposed artillery on the top of a certain fortress, a missile fell from the sky and destroyed it.
The strength of air support lies in the fact that it is invisible. The high speed of fighter planes makes it impossible to predict the direction of the missile attack - simply put, if the previous missile comes from the front, the fighter plane may have already been launched by the time the next missile is launched.
It flew behind the target, so the missile came from behind. This result of being unable to defend naturally made the enemy uncomfortable.
They don't have a specialized screen guard system, so they can only think about using anti-aircraft guns to fire missiles.
Such a striking scene was naturally seen by the attacking ground troops. Several hidden fire points were destroyed by missiles, and their morale was greatly boosted - because they knew that even if the enemy had fire points that they could not hit,
The pilots in the air also have ways to help them solve it.
"The birds in the sky are fighting pretty well!"
One of the tank commanders shouted excitedly: "Everyone, continue the attack."
"Captain, you call them birds..." the driver couldn't help but complain.
"They are the Birdmen, a group of guys who have the smallest number but occupy the most military expenditures." The commander said disdainfully while observing the situation ahead through the screen in front of him: "If they had allocated some military expenditures to our army, we would have been there long ago.
It’s time to install a brand new intelligent electromagnetic tank..."
The other crew members suddenly shouted in unison: "That thing is just a legendary test object!"
In short, it seems that the imperial army is still very optimistic.
While they were moving forward and venting their inner emotions by shouting, the mission was also progressing smoothly.
The helicopter troops tentatively approached the fortress some distance away and were not attacked by fire for the time being, so they began to provide closer fire support to the ground troops.
The empire's tanks were separated by about a hundred meters and advanced in a straight line. Far away from the fortress, the canyon was still relatively wide, allowing several tanks to advance in this way. However, as they got closer and closer to the fortress,
The width of the canyon began to shrink and the terrain became rugged, making it more difficult for the empire's armored forces.
In other words, the empire's tanks can still attack along the wilderness, but when approaching the fortress, they can only advance through the only road, otherwise they will probably get stuck in the rugged rocks and uneven terrain. However, so far, the joint air-ground operations have caused a lot of casualties to the troops in the enemy fortress. Although there are also casualties on the empire's side, they are minimal. It can be said that the attack went smoothly.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the two fighter planes piloted by Wang Yu and Luo Yu have not fired a single bomb until now. The previous air support was completed by Murong Lan leading the Fengxing Squadron. As the enemy targets were attacked one by one,
Destroyed, their air-to-ground missiles are about to run out - currently only Murong Lan's fighter plane and a Su-33 fighter plane of Fengxing Squadron still have one laser-guided missile each.
After destroying these missiles, the only attack method they have left is the CCIP method of dropping aerial bombs.

Fortunately, their strike operation perfectly achieved the set goal - to suppress the enemy's air defense and main firepower points. In the next two squadrons, the fighters can also use more sophisticated methods to provide ground support.
At the same time, there was also good news. The early warning aircraft informed the Polaris Squadron that the UAV originally scheduled to provide intelligence support in the operation had already arrived over the battlefield.
Originally, the UAV should have arrived as soon as possible, but due to some problems during the take-off process, it was delayed for a while. However, it was not too late at this time. The UAV immediately began to scan the entire area with the help of the remote control personnel. This UAV clearly transferred the movements of enemy troops in the fortress to the ground command headquarters.
"The picture shows that the enemy is gathering troops in the fortress. They seem to be restoring their defense system, including tanks, armored vehicles and a small number of 'Tor' air defense systems. We cannot allow them to deploy smoothly, otherwise our troops will be in vain."
The ground commander quickly connected to the channel of the air force and said: "Please carry out air-to-ground strikes immediately and cause as much damage to the enemies in the fortress as possible before they gather. Please note that there may still be a small-scale air defense force in the fortress.
, so be careful."
"This is Polaris. Receive it and launch an attack." Wang Yu replied, and then he said to Luo Yu: "To deal with a large number of targets, your weapon is the most suitable. I will provide you with cover."
"Yes, I understand." Luo Yu simply replied, and then she took the lead in flipping the fuselage and approaching the ground.
Wang Yu also followed suit, providing cover behind her.
No one makes sense for Wang Yu's arrangement. CFA-44's powerful multi-target killing capability is unquestionable. At this time, if you want to quickly kill enemy units in a short time, Luo Yu is the most suitable.
Luo Yu quickly switched to the radar mode. The machine girl Selina and the onboard computer quickly completed the target recognition and locked the radar. Luo Yu simultaneously launched the attack mode. The cover on the module opened and the weapon module extended slightly. She
The fortress on the helmet's aiming display is already covered with indicator boxes representing locking.
Selina quickly reported the locking situation to her, and Luo Yu determined that the targets were all worthy of attack.
The fighter jet quickly entered the range. Before the enemy's Doyle system, which had just started up, had time to complete the radar warm-up, he saw dozens of flames suddenly rising from the top and bottom of the fighter jet that had penetrated the defense.
Twelve missiles were quickly launched from the vertical launch system, and immediately adjusted their direction and swooped towards the predetermined target.
These enemy's newly assembled armored forces have become excellent targets. A missile attack on the top can accurately and effectively destroy them. Therefore, the enemy's secret forces in these fortresses have not had time to play their role, and they are destroyed by the sky.
Accurate roll call of missiles.
The range of the ADMM system is not long, and the speed of the missile is limited by its size and cannot be increased too fast, but it is enough to hit the target. While twelve explosions continuously sounded in the fortress, Luo Yu
The fighter plane flew briskly over the burning enemy target amidst the deafening roar of its engines.
Luo Yu doesn't have to worry about missiles coming from behind, because she knows Wang Yu will protect her.
Sure enough, when a small number of enemy soldiers in the fortress belatedly wanted to pick up individual air defense missiles to attack Luo Yu, Wang Yu flew the fighter plane straight down, and the forward-swept wings gave the fighter plane good controllability.
, a series of machine guns with a firing rate of more than 3,000 rounds per minute tilted down from the sky, directly covering the soldiers who were preparing to launch missiles.
By the time Wang Yu's fighter plane roared past the fortress, the area covered by cannons had turned into a strange mixture of red and black.
The two fighter planes quickly climbed up one after another, leaving the enemy soldiers who wanted to counterattack with no choice but to look at the wreckage in the base and sigh, while shouting to speed up the assembly. After all, they felt that this round of attack destroyed ten people.
After two targets, the enemy planes should have run out of ammunition, and now is a good time for them to deploy their units.
It's just that they don't know that the total ammunition load of ADMM is 108 rounds...
So, a moment later, Wang Yu and Luo Yu turned back in the same order, and the two fighter planes once again conducted a close-range air strike, and the remaining enemy vehicles were immediately annihilated.
During this attack, Wang Yu found a tank hiding on the edge of a warehouse trying to avoid the attack, so he switched weapons and used an electromagnetic gun to hit it with one shot. The high-speed and high-power electromagnetic gun shells directly hit the tank.
The proud armor was in vain. After a burst of fire, the tank's turret was lifted into the sky by the violent explosion of ammunition inside.
"Beautiful, all the enemy troops gathered have been destroyed!"
The ground commander looked at the UAV picture and said excitedly: "Keep going, we will win!"
The two fighter planes Wang Yu and Luo Yu returned to a certain altitude and leveled off.
"How come the two of them are becoming more and more skilled in cooperating..." Murong Lan muttered in her heart, "I remember that Luo Yu used to cooperate with me. No, after returning to the original army, he has to apply for adjustment of the team...
”
No matter what he thinks, the enemy's attempt to resist has been crushed, and the ground attack can continue.
The tank troops continued to advance under thick armor, but soon stopped the attack.
Because further ahead, they will enter the strike range of the side permanent fortification firepower points on the mountains on both sides of the fortress. This will form cross fire with the enemy forces in the front, which is extremely dangerous for the troops, so they must find a way
Only then can we continue to attack.
Therefore, the Army Aviation helicopter was ordered to move forward to suppress the side fortifications, but as expected, it was attacked by the enemy's individual air defense. The pilot of the armed helicopter suddenly regretted why he had to fly the Apache, which could not even stop the AK, instead of
Go fly a tough aerial vehicle like the KA-50 or KA-52, drop the heat decoy bombs and retreat quickly.
The ground command immediately requested air support.
Faced with this kind of permanent fortification, Luo Yu's ADMM could not help much, so the task fell on others.
They have armor-piercing aerial bombs that can penetrate the reinforced concrete of fortifications from above, but due to inaccurate previous intelligence, they cannot use joint guidance and can only use visual CCIP to throw them, which is a consideration for the pilot's skills.<
/p>
Therefore, this task was handed over to the more skilled Murong Lan and the captain of Fengxing Squadron to complete.
The two Flanker fighters quickly entered the corresponding attack route. After accelerating and diving for a moment, they steadily dropped the armor-piercing bombs on the pylons. There was no wind in the sky today. In theory, the trajectory of the bombs would not be too high.
Big deviation.
Sure enough, I saw two small black dots hitting the top of the fortifications on both sides of the mountain, one on the left and one on the right, bringing up a burst of dust, followed by an explosion from the inside out, destroying the original fortifications.
It exploded and destroyed the defenses inside the fortification.
"The bombing was so accurate!" Liu Lingxin looked at the bombing through the fighter plane's field of view. At this time, she couldn't help but said, "But today they have been out of the limelight. Why do we feel like we have done nothing..."
Wang Yu shrugged helplessly, everyone was very capable in this mission.
"Don't worry, there will always be a time when we can perform our best." He said to Liu Lingxin, "The enemy will always come."
