Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 97 Aerial Decisive Battle
Zhong Cheng didn't care much about the praise he received. His goal was not only to complete the reconnaissance mission, but there were so many military orders, so what could be done.

Before the war started, their mission had been completed, and the next thing was to watch other people's performances.

Wang Xing was already excitedly directing the drone controllers to get ready, which made Zhong Cheng and the others envious.

9:00 sharp.

With the order of the Red Army commander, "Start the attack!"

In the mountains of more than 100 kilometers long and 30 kilometers deep on the mainland, dozens of artillery positions fired at the same time.

Thousands of howitzers, cannons, rocket launchers, and short- and medium-range cruise missiles overwhelmingly carried out the first round of carpet saturation attacks on the Blue Army's air force airport and air defense positions.

From the huge display screen in the center of the headquarters, Zhong Cheng saw the simulated attack on the Blue Army's position. A large number of fighter planes, anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft missile silo launch vehicles on the airport were destroyed.

The information provided by Jingwei No. [-] is very accurate, and the artillery unit is also very powerful. The data shows that the ground air defense force of the Blue Army has basically been wiped out.

All that remains is for the Air Force to launch a second round of attack to seize air supremacy.

10:00 sharp.

The gunfire that lasted for an hour stopped, and at the same time there was a sonic boom of swarms of supersonic fighter jets passing by from the command headquarters.

The Red Army's "Zhan-10", "Zhan-11" and other main fighter groups attacked, and hundreds of longsword attack drones that had already taken off from the small airport joined the group near the coastline.

With the long sword attacking the drone as the vanguard, five or six hundred fighters formed a huge air echelon and rushed straight to the sky above Hailan Island.

Zhong Cheng, who was watching the battle in the headquarters, couldn't help but clenched his fists. Does the blue army and air force have the power to fight back?

The answer was soon revealed, and a fleet of more than 30 Blue Army aircraft with 20 "Zhan-400" as the main force took off from multiple underground airports on the island (simulated, actually the airport on the east side of the island).

Under the cover of anti-aircraft missile vehicles driven out of the underground base, they collided head-on with the Red Army attack aircraft group over the western part of Hailan Island.

The air decisive battle of this military exercise has begun!

There are also nearly [-] unmanned fighter jets in the blue army fleet as the vanguard. The huge Ares drone and the small locust drone cooperate with each other to form the first line of defense of the blue army air force fleet.

They first came into fire with the Red Army Air Force forward's long sword attacking drones. The rapid-fire cannons intertwined into a fire net, and the air-to-air missiles flew all over the sky. As well as the air defense missiles and anti-aircraft machine gun attacks on the ground, the drones of both sides raised yellow smoke marking the destruction in patches, and withdrew from the air battle.

The battle has been fierce from the very beginning!
Zhong Cheng finally understood that in such a large-scale air battle, a Jingwei unmanned fighter jet would not be of much use at all, and less than a certain number would not constitute a deterrent at all.

The battle is still going on, and the speed advantage of the long sword attacking drones is revealed. They quickly fly through the Ares drones and locust drones. The battle damage rate wiped out the blue army's drone striker group, and it was in close contact with the "Zhan-1".

But before the powerful performance of "Zhan-20", long swords attacking drones are not enough. The mobility is inferior, the stealth ability is not as good as human beings, and the firepower is even worse. After a few encounters, the remaining long swords attack The drones all withdrew from the battlefield.

However, they also provided fighters for the Red Army's main fighter group, which wiped out the Longsword attack drone group, and the Blue Army's main fighter group headed by the "Zhan-20" was exposed to the attack of the Red Army's main fighter group.

At 10:35, the entire Blue Army Air Force was wiped out, and the Red Army seized air supremacy.

There were cheers in the Red Army headquarters, and Wang Xing and other 912 personnel accepted everyone's praise with red faces. The long sword attacking the drone contributed a lot to this decisive battle in the air.

At 10:40, the Red Army's second round of artillery coverage began again.

The targets of this attack were fortifications, artillery positions, exposed underground airports, and air defense forces on the Blue Army's coast defense line.

11:00 positive.

The army's mechanized troops assembled in the mountains were dispatched, and the torrent of steel boarded the navy's landing ship quickly and orderly, and under the cover of the navy fleet, they sailed to the opposite bank of the sea.

12:30 pm.

The suppression of artillery fire continued. The huge landing fleet was only 10 kilometers away from the coastline of Hailan Island. The main force of the Red Army Air Force took off again to cooperate with the artillery to bomb the Blue Army's coastal defense positions and provide air cover.

At 12:40, the large warships in the naval fleet adjusted their posture and began shelling, and the heavy helicopter brigade of the Army Aviation Force rushed to the beach.

At exactly 13:00, the Red Army landing ship arrived at the coast of Hailan Island, and the vanguard of the army's mechanized troops successfully landed and seized the first beachhead.

At 14:30, tens of thousands of mechanized units of the Red Army rushed to Hailan Island from five landing points, defeated the defense forces of the Blue Army, and quickly attacked in depth into the island.

There are still two and a half hours before the end of the military exercise, but the overall situation has been decided!

Zhong Changchang breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jingwei No. [-] did not participate in the official battle, he was still sincerely happy for the victory of the Red Army.

It had been five and a half hours since the battle started, and it had been eight hours since they started their reconnaissance mission. He, Zhou Hu, and Gui Bin walked out of the Red Army headquarters and went to the nearby field cooking truck for lunch.

Then he asked Zhou Hu and Gui Bin to replace Liu Yuzhu for dinner, while he went to the small airport to see the situation of Jingwei No. [-].

Zhao Wei, Li Mei, Yang Xi, and Jiang Yan are still testing the performance of Jingwei No. [-] and charging Jingwei No. [-].

In the morning, Zhong Cheng drove the Jingwei No. 20 for nearly [-] kilometers, but the power of the Kuafu power battery was less than [-]%, and the cruising range was still a little short.

In this field environment, there is no dedicated charging pile, only a diesel generator is used to charge Jingwei No. [-], which gave Zhao Wei and the others a headache for a while, but it is fully charged now.

Zhong Cheng was concerned about whether the four of them had eaten lunch, and then asked about the current situation of Jingwei No. [-].

Yang Xi said happily: "It has been tested. Zhurong's electric push system has completely withstood the overload of 30 times the acceleration of gravity, without any deformation, misalignment, leakage and other problems. Thanks to Chaos Alloy, it is so awesome!"

Zhao Wei and Li Mei also talked about the situation of the electronic control system and the radar fire control system, both of which are relatively ideal.

It's just that Jiang Yan was a little depressed, "Zhong Cheng, you have been flying for more than an hour, and you didn't try the performance of the laser cannon. This time I came for nothing."

"Here, I want to try it too, but the commander requires concealment, so I dare not try it. How about this, the military exercise is over, and we will fly to the sea to fire a few shots."

"Can this be the same?" Jiang Yan was still a little unhappy.

At this moment, Liu Yuzhu's voice came from the walkie-talkie placed on the testing equipment of Jingwei No. [-]: "Is Zhong Cheng there? Hurry up to the headquarters, there is a situation!"

Zhong Cheng looked at the time. It was 3:12, and there was still more than an hour before the end of the military exercise.

He turned around and ran up the mountain, shouting to the four of them: "Get ready, maybe Jingwei No. [-] will still have a chance to fight!"
