The new information sent back by Wang Yu and others cast a shadow over the hearts of all imperial soldiers.
It turns out that Asia's air fortress is not in a hurry to enter, but they have long-range attack methods. This large weapon only needs to rush to Stonehenge leisurely, and then use its various weapons to clear out the enemies in the way.
Just fine.
What Wang Yu and the others encountered was obviously a large-scale destructive weapon.
Similar to cloud bombs, but the power and spread range are obviously stronger than cloud bombs.
Wang Yu is actually no stranger to this type of weapon.
A long time ago, when he was still flying the F-15E, he dropped a cloud bomb using napalm as fuel to attack the drilling platform where the pirates were located, but the second sun that seemed to bloom in the sky gave him
It left a deep impression.
I didn't expect that I would take one myself now.
If the fighter planes hadn't been strong enough, plus the warning from the early warning planes and his quick dodge, he and Luo Yu's results probably wouldn't have been any better than those few friendly fighter planes that were either reduced to ashes or swept down from the sky by shock waves.
.
On the way back, Wang Yu asked Irene to check the condition of the fighter plane - the fighter plane did not seem to have any obvious damage, and the engine that might have been damaged before was still running normally, but Irene always felt that the blades of the engine might have been damaged.
There has been some damage that cannot be directly detected, but it has not yet shown its characteristics.
This kind of damage can only be detected through ultrasound.
But under the current emergency situation, Wang Yu estimated that he would not be able to inspect the fighter jets.
After returning to the base, they will immediately replenish fuel and ammunition, and then return to the air with friendly forces to confront the Aisiya Air Fortress, whose threat level has obviously increased several times.
Just as they landed, news came from the front line that friendly forces were attacked by another attack of the same pattern.
Another round of sun exploded in the sky.
Fortunately, this time the early warning aircraft knew the target attack mode, so they gave appropriate warnings in advance. The friendly pilots also responded quickly and dived quickly away from the airspace they were in at the time. In the end, this attack was just a simple attack.
The attack damaged one of the fighter planes, forcing the pilot to return to base shortly after takeoff.
The Aisian attack did not achieve much results, but this did not make the empire much easier.
Because through this attack, it can at least be seen that Asia's weapon has the ability to attack continuously.
Once the fighter planes gather together, the attack will inevitably cause serious damage.
However, the empire was very curious as to why the air fortress did not launch an attack when the imperial fighter planes and drones were fighting just now - the use of such weapons of mass destruction at that time would inevitably cause high amounts of damage.
Could it be that the Aisians are worried about accidentally damaging their drone?
It shouldn't be. Although drones are powerful, they are dead things after all. You can build as many drones as you have with the raw materials. Using them to exchange pilots with the empire is obviously a sure-profit deal.
So the empire estimated for a long time, and finally thought it was because the air fortress had not been within range before.
By the time it entered the range, the empire had already dealt with all the drones and returned to the base for supplies.
Therefore, the Aisians could only hurriedly fire their weapons at the Imperial Air Force that could be hit, and Wang Yu and the others happened to be the unlucky ones who were hit. Of course, the unlucky ones should be those friendly fighters...
But to put it another way, if Wang Yu and the others had left at that time, then Aisia would have given up the attack, and the empire would not know that Aisia had such a powerful weapon in the end, and would inevitably suffer heavy losses from the sudden attack.
.
The early warning aircraft made a guess about the attack frequency of the enemy's air fortress through the interval between the two attacks. Combined with the previously judged attack range, a bad situation was obtained. It was obvious that the empire had completed preparations and took the initiative to attack.
Before the aerial fortress, they still need to withstand several attacks of this scale.
Although it seems that the Empire's fighter planes can handle it smoothly once or twice, as the number of attacks increases, there will always be losses - and as the number of fighter planes flying in the sky increases, this possibility will further increase.
And what's more serious is that not only the fighter planes flying in the sky may be attacked, but also the fleet on the sea that is approaching here - as a projection attack, there is no reason why Asia's thing cannot attack targets on the sea.
The fleet at sea is the main force attacking this air fortress. Once they are killed by Asia's air fortress, there is really no other feasible way for the empire except to dispatch the Ark.
But at present, the empire has no good response plan. It has to let the fighters on the front line pay attention to avoidance, let the early warning aircraft keep observing, and let the fleet not get close to the possible attack range of the air fortress for the time being, and let the dome base receive the supply fighters.
Speed up and get into the air as soon as possible - in any case, only when it has sufficient troops can the empire be able to launch a large-scale attack on the aerial fortress and neutralize its combat effectiveness.
At this time, all the officers and soldiers of the empire missed the powerful Stonehenge very much. If Stonehenge had not already made comprehensive preparations to deal with meteorites, as long as the huge cannon was aimed at Asia's air fortress, everything would have happened.
solved.
"Fill up the fuel, fill up the ammunition, and charge the electromagnetic gun module."
After landing, Wang Yu quickly taxied to the tarmac and said to the ground team: "This battle is not over yet."
"Just leave these things to us. You can go over there and rest for a while."
The ground crew leader took Wang Yu's flight helmet and pointed to the awning set up at the base nearby for the pilots to rest. Then he led the team to start working around the fighter plane, connecting the fuel pipes and wires to different slots of the fighter plane at the same time.
Scenes like this basically exist throughout the base. The tarmac is in chaos. Ground crews wearing various colored vests are running around. Vehicles full of ammunition and fuel are interspersed among the busy fighter planes and personnel. Pilots are also doing their best.
Close your eyes and relax in the rest area, and use this short time to restore your mental state.
At this time, it was the Marines in the base who were preventing the Asia Airborne Forces from occupying the base. They were holding their guns and standing idle at their posts or guarding the edge of the base's air defense system, watching the members of the Air Force busy.
.
These Ma Run guys have never seen such a scene in their eight lives. Normally, they are the busiest ones. Relaxing and doing nothing should be something only the air force and navy men would do. But now the roles have been reversed.
This made the Marines, who were already working hard, feel very uncomfortable. Those who did not have any special tasks even took the initiative to help. For example, hard work such as loading and unloading ammunition was very suitable for them.
Wang Yu was sitting on the camp bed under the awning, holding a piece of chocolate in his left hand and a radio in his right hand, listening to the current situation in the air - the content was not very new. The early warning aircraft kept reminding the fighter planes of the coming attack and to avoid it, which was deafening.
There was an explosion, and the pilots checked each other's status and yelled.
Next to her, Liu Lingxin asked, "Is there any new news?"
"No, but we need to be faster. According to the estimated attack range of Asia Air Fortress, their 'tentacles' will soon be able to touch the dome base."
Wang Yu shook his head: "It's hard to say how many people will be alive in the dome base once the cloud bomb comes down."
"They're going to use that weapon to attack this place?"
"They won't attack Stonehenge, but that doesn't mean they won't attack the dome base." Wang Yu shrugged: "With the dome base's combat effectiveness relieved, they can naturally take over Stonehenge."
"How long do we have?"
"Judging from the distance, it's about an hour." Wang Yu sighed: "Of course, this is an inference based on the fact that the Aisians have no other means of long-distance attacks."
"If they have it, they should use it now." Liu Lingxin said, but then she covered her mouth: "Forget it, I won't say more, just in case the crow talks."
"You are right about this. Compared with the fighter planes in the sky and the dome base, the Aisians will definitely be more willing to take the initiative to destroy the dome base rather than the small number of fighter planes flying in the sky." Luo Yu came over from the side and explained.
: "Since they are still launching attacks on those fighters, it at least proves that they do not have the ability to affect the dome base in a short period of time."
"Yes, we should worry about the safety of the dome base when the friendly fighter planes flying on the front line are no longer threatened by the air fortress." Wang Yu nodded: "In short, the faster we move, the better."
"Don't worry, it won't be long." Luo Yu glanced in the direction of the tarmac. Just now, her ground team had removed the weapon module from the CFA-44 fighter jet and reloaded it with the specially-made small missile - this
This missile for the ADMM system is the only one in the Air Force. In theory, it is completely uneconomical to open a production line. However, a while ago, the military people took a fancy to this missile, which is easy to launch and has strong power and agility after taking off.
It has the characteristics of high performance and good guidance, so the Imperial Military Industry Department opened a special ADMM missile production line to produce a vehicle-mounted mobile short-range air defense system.
Therefore, the cost of this weapon module was reduced, and the cost of the CFA-44 fighter was also reduced. Although it is still difficult for full-scale mass production, it is still not possible to manufacture a few in small batches.
The problem - anyway, Murong Lan had already submitted an application, and the company that designed the CFA-44 at that time would build an identical fighter jet for her.
Her current Su-37 no longer fits in with the Polaris squadron, and the other two fighters can perform better than hers.
That's too far.
While the pilots were resting, it took the ground crew less than half an hour to complete the refueling and loading of the fighter jets.
Originally, the ground crew captain heard about Wang Yu's experience and insisted on conducting a full range of flaw detection on the fighter plane. However, because the matter was urgent and the flight attendant assured that the fighter plane had no problems affecting its flight, they gave up.
The plane girl has said so, so I guess the problem with the fighter plane may be a hidden danger that will gradually be exposed after hundreds of flights, rather than a superficial problem. At least so far, the fighter plane is normal.
The pilots also used this time to take a short rest, and their spirits were restored a lot at this time.
Subsequently, everyone received a notice from their superiors.
All pilots in the dome base took off immediately and joined the troops currently on the front line, preparing to participate in the "general attack."
At present, Asia's only threat to Stonehenge is the air fortress. Therefore, as long as the empire can shoot down the air fortress, Asia will no longer have any basis to rely on, and the empire will also get a ticket to the future.
At least, it is the future of the Imperial people.
The pilot quickly returned to the fighter plane, which began to taxi one after another and formed a long queue in front of the take-off area.
At the same time, the channel began to hear the boring conversations of pilots waiting to take off.
"Why hasn't the tower approved takeoff yet?"
"I've been waiting for this for a long time, please hurry up."
It was at this time that the voice of the old general from the dome base suddenly sounded on the combat channel.
The originally noisy channel suddenly became quiet, and everyone was listening to the speech of this respected officer.
"All pilots, this will be the most difficult battle - you will face the most powerful war weapon of the Aisians, and perhaps one of the most powerful in the world. I don't want to tell you about the possible risks of this battle.
We don't want to hide it, so I will tell you truthfully, we don't know the information about the Aisian air fortress, nor do we know how large an attack the air fortress will cause once it is fully activated, let alone how to effectively destroy that thing.
"So, we can only respond in the only way we can, which is to pour all the conventional firepower we have into the air fortress, including missiles, machine guns, artillery in the fleet, and cruise missiles launched by the few bombers in the base.
, and of course all the weapons that can be mounted on the fighter planes you fly.
"We cannot be sure whether the air fortress will be shot down due to these attacks, so even if we estimate optimistically, many people will die in this battle. However, I hope you know -
"The battle taking place at this time is no longer the Stonehenge War in the conventional sense. The war that is still under our control has gone far, and a real battle with no one knowing the outcome is about to begin. You
They will be the ones involved, so I hope you remember that what you want to protect at this moment is no longer the so-called dome base or Stonehenge.
"Now you only protect one thing, and that is the future!"
