While the Polaris and Snowdrop Squadrons had eliminated all the transport aircraft, the battle between the main force of Gensokyo led by Captain Zhang and the enemy aircraft formation on the front line was coming to an end.
The enemy is a large formation of eleven fighter planes, and it is obvious that their strength is not weak.
Especially the ADFX in the lead, the big thing on its back is indeed a new weapon developed by the Asians, just as Captain Zhang thought.
Airborne laser weapons.
After a short period of charging, it can release a high-energy laser beam that lasts for three seconds and has a range of about ten kilometers.
The power of this thing should not be underestimated. Although the organic girl in Gensokyo gave an early warning and made an operation to avoid the missile when the ADFX fighter started to attack, the laser weapon was piggy-back type after all. Compared with the air fortress,
The laser cannon of the same type has great flexibility and can adjust its direction after starting the attack.
Therefore, a fighter plane of the Gensokyo Brigade was directly hit by a laser weapon due to misjudgment.
Although the pilot made an emergency evasion when the enemy pointed the laser at him, the wing was still "rubbed" by the torrent of lasers. Then he was shocked to find that his wing also seemed to be rubbed by an eraser.
Just like that, it was wiped out by Zhijie.
His fighter model is not like the kind of fighter that can still fly after losing its wings, so after losing its wings, it will be difficult for him to continue to control the fighter to keep it in the sky, so he has to cancel the assimilation between the fighter and the fighter.
Then the ejection lever was pulled.
This is the first time in such a long time that a fighter plane of the Gensokyo Brigade has been shot down.
For Gensokyo, this simply left an ugly mark on their glorious record.
This situation must never happen again.
Captain Zhang knew that the enemy's laser weapon, like Wang Yu's electromagnetic gun and Luo Yu's various weapon modules, was obviously a killer weapon that could change the pattern of air combat.
He reminded the team to pay attention in the channel, and then led his squadron to attack the ADFX fighter. The charging of this laser weapon was a stage that could be used to evade. The attack range was only the point where the nose of the aircraft was pointed, so Captain Zhang decided
He led his squadron to entangle the enemy plane first, forcing him to have no time to attack other members of Gensokyo.
The rest of the Gensokyo group took advantage of this opportunity to first deal with the Su-47 formation that looked like flies.
After more than ten minutes of fighting, a total of four Su-47s were shot down, and the Gensokyo side was happy to see that there were zero casualties during this stage of the battle.
At first, the enemy's ADFX fighter jets destroyed one through a surprise attack, which also reminded all Gensokyo team members that
Therefore, the subsequent laser weapon of the enemy's ADFX fighter did not have much effect.
But the pilots on Asia's six remaining Su-47 fighters and the ADFX fighter as the captain did not fear or shrink back because their teammates were shot down, or because they had not achieved any results for such a long time.
These Asia pilots become more and more brave as they fight.
The remaining fighter planes fought against the Gensokyo fighter planes as if they had exploded on the battlefield.
Their technology has indeed been recognized by Captain Zhang and others.
The pilots of Gensokyo also expressed respect to their opponents, that is, fighting with all their strength.
In the end, the pilots of the Gensokyo Brigade were still slightly more skilled.
As another fighter plane of Asia was shot down, Gensokyo began to expand their advantage. They had wasted some time in this battle, and other imperial forces were still waiting for the moment to launch a general attack on the air fortress.
Under the attack launched by Gensokyo with all its strength, Asia's remaining Su-47 fighter jets were shot down.
In the air at this time, only the ADFX-01 fighter plane still maintained its combat effectiveness, but he obviously couldn't hold on anymore.
The flight captain of Asia is indeed very skilled and his aircraft is also advanced.
But he faced the siege of a squadron that was on par with him. Even if Captain Zhang had some scruples about his offensive posture during the battle because of the power of laser weapons, the Asia pilot couldn't hold on anymore.
.
The ADFX-01 fighter aircraft manufactured by Asia obviously has structural problems - because it has not been able to miniaturize the laser weapon, Asia's scientific researchers had no choice but to use the backpack mode to pass several laser weapons.
The fixed rod installs such a large laser emitting device above the fuselage.
Although it can be used, the extra large object not only interferes with the aerodynamic shape of the fighter aircraft itself, but also limits the overload that can be generated when the fighter aircraft maneuvers.
Therefore, when facing Captain Zhang's attack, his mobility was severely restricted.
In the end, due to a high-intensity overload, the fixed rod that fixed the laser weapon launcher to the fighter plane was damaged, causing it to separate from the fighter plane during its turn, spinning and falling into the sea.
If the enemy plane loses its laser weapon, it is like the Schlieffen losing its secondary gun, the Venetian losing its fuel smoke, and the Burgundy losing its reloading. It simply loses the characteristics of this thing. Not only does it lose its deterrence, but it also makes it useless.
It became invisible to everyone.
In short, this ADFX now looks like an extremely ordinary fighter jet.
With the laser weapon that was the biggest threat gone, Captain Zhang and the others, who had been helpless in the fight, could finally let go and fight.
Facing the attack from Captain Zhang's squadron, the Asia pilot finally fell from the sky.
Captain Zhang informed the AWACS of the coordinates here and asked them to note it down so that after the war the empire could come over to salvage this cutting-edge fighter from Asia and conduct reverse engineering.
Maybe we can dig up some new technology.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Polaris and Snowdrop join the battle again, what they see is the Gensokyo team that is finishing up.
"It seems like we don't need our help anymore."
Luo Yu said.
They originally thought that Captain Zhang was involved in a melee that would be difficult to resolve within a short period of time.
So after the two squadrons completed their mission of shooting down the transport plane, they decided to quickly join up with their teammates.
For this reason, they even changed their original plan to escape from the strike range of the air fortress. Instead, they directly pushed to full afterburner and braved the air fortress's projection attack to return to the location of the air battle between Gensokyo's main force and enemy planes in a short period of time.
When they arrived, Captain Zhang and the others had actually won the battle.
"So we seem to be a little pretentious." Wang Yu curled his lips.
"Why do you say we are from the same base? Don't you have confidence in our strength?!" Captain Zhang complained in the channel: "So why do you think we can't solve these respectable opponents?"
"Um, because they used new weapons?" Wang Yu answered uncertainly.
Captain Beier laughed loudly like Director Jin: "It's just a new weapon. Do you actually think it can close the strength gap between us and the enemy?"
"No, we really didn't feel that way at first..." Wang Yu took a deep breath.
Luo Yu decisively continued: "Until someone just panicked and shouted in the channel, 'Hey, it's the enemy's super weapon, please be careful, these guys are not simple and we may not be our opponents.' Well, who is this person?"
"You two bastards who sing together..."
Captain Zhang gritted his teeth.
At the same time, he felt a little sore in his balls. Damn it, how could he imitate what he said at that time so much?
This is just a small episode that happened while the Gensokyo Brigade was regrouping.
It can also be regarded as a small method used by everyone to ease their tense nerves after a tense air battle.
But in fact, the current situation does not seem much easier just because a few people are talking relaxedly - after all the enemy aircraft formations are shot down, it means that the air fortress can once again cover this airspace with firepower, so the most important thing now is
The key is to leave this airspace and keep moving.
Captain Zhang reported to his superiors that they had shot down all enemy planes and were continuing their mission.
At this time, they already knew the information about the "rebellion" of Asia Air Fortress, and at this time, their superiors began to tell them some key information about this super weapon.
The first thing I learned about was the fighter formation that they had just fought with.
What is surprising is that this fighter formation does not come from Asia itself, but from the air fortress.
Yes, contrary to the empire's expectations, along the longitudinal axis of the air fortress, there is an internal circular hangar and a small take-off and landing runway that runs through the front and rear of the air fortress.
Wang Yu remembered that the last time they went to observe, the front end of the air fortress was closed in an arc shape.
That's just because it is usually closed. When the carrier-based aircraft is released, the closed hatch at the front will be opened to allow the carrier-based aircraft to take off quickly. However, unlike the aircraft carrier, the runway length of this air fortress is longer than that of the aircraft carrier.
Quite a few, plus they are airborne carrier aircraft, so the selection of aircraft models is much more relaxed and is not limited to carrier-based aircraft.
The Su-47 and ADFX-01 land-based forward-swept wing fighters were chosen probably because of their short take-off capabilities.
In addition to these "carrier-based aircraft" that have been delisted, the air fortress also has other armaments.
For example, the laser weapon of the Polaris Squadron was almost written off before, the close-defense pulse laser launcher that no one knew about, the empire already has a long-distance air burst bomb projection device as a preventive measure, and of course there are some vertical missiles used for attack
As for the launching device, it can be said that this thing takes into account various distances, and it can be regarded as rich in attack methods.
In addition to these weapons, as speculated by the empire, the air fortress has powerful battlefield information collection capabilities and early warning capabilities, which are much stronger than all early warning aircraft currently on the market. In conjunction with the Asia Satellite Array
The connection can realize the transparency of the entire battlefield - but just now, they focused all their attention on the airspace where the Gensokyo brigade and their own fighter formations were fighting, and also paid attention to the movements of other assembled troops of the empire.
Therefore, other areas were ignored, and as a result, Wang Yu and others stole the transport plane that should have been safe.
So to sum up, this thing is essentially a system that combines a wide-area early warning range, long-distance penetration capabilities of fighter jets, mid-range precise and devastating strike capabilities of laser weapons, laser pulse close-in defense capabilities to avoid various attacks, and cruise missile washing capabilities.
A total war weapon capable of delivering air burst bombs on the ground and at full range to kill the enemy's effectiveness.
The Asians have indeed done something remarkable.
There really aren't any obvious shortcomings except that it flies a little slower.
The empire also pointed out the current weaknesses of the air fortress to all frontline troops, so that they can focus on attacking the air fortress when launching a general attack later.
The weakness is very clear, that is the power system of the air fortress.
According to the intelligence of the Aisians, this air fortress relies on multiple large-scale semi-buried pure electric thrusters at the rear end to provide it with the power to soar in the sky. They are distributed around the central axis, and four of them are located at the rear of the air fortress.
Small liquid metal-cooled nuclear reactors are the source of these powers, just like moving equipment from several nuclear-powered aircraft carriers into the air.
Nuclear power represents ample use time.
The air fortress can cruise in the air for months or even a whole year without the need to land for supplies.
But success or failure is also a failure, and the power of this air fortress has also become its weakness.
Because this thing is too large, and most of it is equipped with various equipment for offense or defense, the "tonnage distribution" left for the power part of the air fortress is very tight. Although the entire air fortress has plenty of power,
However, due to its relatively large size, it requires a lot of power to fly.
Therefore, even with a layout of nuclear power and multiple thrusters, the air fortress cannot achieve a very high speed and can only "move" in the sky at a very slow flight speed compared to fighter planes.
At the same time, the power system redundancy of the Sky Fortress is not sufficient, that is, there is not much backup power designed.
The design of the Sky Fortress can only ensure that it can remain in the air after losing less than a certain number of thrusters, but if the number of lost thrusters is greater than this number, the Sky Fortress will lose the ability to continue flying.
The empire told the frontline troops that the weakness of the air fortress was its power system.
In particular, the Gensokyo brigade that needs to rush into the air fortress to attack at a close point needs to focus on attacking the propeller of the air fortress. Once it is paralyzed, the entire air fortress will lose power and fall downwards.
It sounds easy, but it's hard to do.
According to the information shared by the Aisians, this air fortress seems to have understood the problems of the power system when designing it, so it has provided sufficient close defense weapons near the power system. It is not easy to attack those places.
Especially those laser pulses, the thing that replaced the Phalanx, can even easily shoot down the missiles attacking them. Basically, they can hit wherever they are, and it only takes a few attacks to shoot down a fighter plane.
Therefore, how to carry out the attack still requires the Imperial troops present to adapt accordingly.
