Alien Arms Empire

"Finally we can stop our pilots from taking risks and fighting enemy aircraft." A general of the Tang Empire Air Force opened the buttons on his collar and said to deputy commander Xiao Yun: "Perak has been mass-produced. "

"Isn't this giving away 262 and 183 to others? Otherwise, if we want to use cheap air-to-air missiles, we will have to wait for a while." Xiao Yun took out a cup and poured a glass of water for his capable man.

Not many people get this kind of treatment. The general under his command quickly stood up and took the water glass from the deputy commander's hand: "Thank you, general! So it's not easy, otherwise we really have to use active radar guidance." Head to the propeller plane."

 Technology develops too fast, and sometimes it is not a good thing for others to catch up. For example, if assault rifles are deployed directly and the armor strength cannot keep up, then in actual combat it may not be possible to defeat enemies equipped with Mauser rifles or Mosin-Nagant rifles.

This is why, except for the Tang Empire, which had enough armor and a strong air force, few other countries installed assault rifles on a large scale.

 In actual combat, everyone still prefers bolt-action rifles that require less team logistics, are easier to maintain, have longer ranges, and have higher hit accuracy.

 Because of comprehensive considerations, assault rifles are really not a good choice when there is no need to accompany armored forces for fire suppression.

By the same token, if other countries cannot field jet fighters, relatively inexpensive air-to-air combat missiles with infrared seekers cannot be popularized.

There is no way. Unless a combat missile with a modern optical imaging comparison seeker is developed in one go, it is unlikely that an infrared seeker will hit an old propeller fighter if it is launched.

The heat energy of the opponent's engine is really not obvious enough, so the missile is likely to turn back and lock on the Tang Empire's jet, or directly rush towards the largest heat source in the sky - the sun.

 The solution to this problem is the active radar-guided air-to-air missiles that the Tang Empire is developing and working hard to reduce costs, or the cheaper semi-active radar-guided air-to-air missiles.

 This type of missile can lock on low-heat targets for attack, but the problem is that this type of missile is really too expensive. Especially when the early technology was relatively immature, the price of a radar-guided air-to-air missile was prohibitively high.

Using this kind of missile to attack the opponent's propeller fighter jets, in addition to earning a pilot, the rest will really go to grandma's house.

That broken aircraft is not as expensive as the radar seeker. Using missiles to attack such aircraft is really not worth the gain. That's why the Tang Empire has not been equipped with air-to-air missiles.

Now, the Yangmu Empire far away in the Eastern Continent has 262 jet fighters. At the same time, the Qin State next door has finally got its wish and is equipped with 183 fighter jets.

 With these two types of aircraft, coupled with the gradual popularity of civil aviation jetliners in the future, there will be more heat sources in the sky.

The air-to-air missile is no longer useless. It will shine in the sky, keeping the pilots of the Tang Empire away from the danger of fighting with the enemy.

“Now that we have Thunderbolt air-to-air missiles, we will definitely surprise the enemy pilots!” The general under his command continued excitedly.

Xiao Yun also laughed. He remembered a joke everyone made in a previous meeting: the instructor asked, why do we have a dog fight with the enemy? The student replied, because my aircraft has maneuverability advantages. The instructor said, wrong! Because you are stupid! You should use air-to-air missiles to deal with the opponent!

At that time, air-to-air missiles were just a hypothesis and imagination of the Air Force's technical department for future air combat. Now, this thing has begun mass production and has become real!

If in the past, the Datang Empire pilots flying J-6 fighter jets had a one-thousandth chance of being shot down by an opponent who performed beyond their capabilities, then now, this only slight chance has disappeared.

 In the future, the pilots of the Tang Empire will begin to abandon the tactics of close-range gunfights. They will gradually become accustomed to relying on dogfighting missiles to solve problems at a distance of about ten kilometers.

 Another good news is that the J-7 fighter jet will be mass-produced together with the Pili missile. In the past, the J-7 fighter jet equipped with a small radar on the nose was delayed in mass production because there were no supporting missiles.

Now that the Pili missiles have begun to be put into use, the J-6 seems a bit outdated. The "Seventh Master" that the Air Force has longed for is finally entering active service.

This brand-new fighter will give the Tang Imperial Air Force absolute air superiority: Their opponents don't even have radar, and the J-7 can already launch thunderbolt missiles for sneak attacks from ten kilometers away.

 A thunderbolt and five lightning whips, a sneak attack! The air force pilots of the Tang Empire were so ignorant of martial ethics!

 The future air combat has already changed in the technological innovation that the Tang Empire quietly started, but other countries don't know it yet.

At a time when some countries around the world were barely entering the field of jet technology during World War II, the navy and air force of the Tang Empire had already stepped into the second-generation aircraft.

For the Tang Empire, the next war will be Tang Mo’s version of the Gulf War! He's going to bring a little Down syndrome shock to the world!

 …

 Mirage country, Dingcheng. The 1st Armored Division of the Mirage outside the city has withdrawn, leaving only the nominal 2nd Armored Division to accompany the Mirage troops in the encirclement to their death.

 It is said to be the 2nd Armored Division. In fact, this armored division in the Mirage Kingdom no longer had any tanks available for use half a month ago.

Most of the tanks were destroyed, and a small number of tanks were transferred to the 1st Armored Division and taken away. There were also some that could not be repaired without parts, so they were dismantled into parts and given to the 1st Armored Division.

There are a few Cyric 2 tanks left that no one wants. They are old, thin-skinned and stuffed. There is no difference between having them or not.

This so-called armored division now only has some stabbing mines left as anti-tank means, and it has some anti-tank capabilities.

It was impossible to expect such a so-called armored force to hold its position, so when the troops on both wings outside the Mirage City began to abandon their positions and retreat, Dingcheng was surrounded by the orcs.

 Dingcheng is surrounded, which means that the Orc troops can cross Dingcheng in small numbers and move toward the side and rear of the Mirage Army's 3rd Armored Division.

The 3rd Armored Division of the Mirage Army was attacked from both sides and had no choice but to retreat. In fact, this unit, which was more capable than Mirage Emperor expected, had already been ordered to retreat by Mirage Wuk, waiting for an opportunity to retreat and run away.

 After the 1st and 3rd armored units all retreated, the central fortification area was completely surrounded.

 Although there are still some gaps, the actual communication is no longer there. To put it bluntly, it is okay for a small group of troops to break through, but transporting supplies is a luxury.

Under such circumstances, the Mirage Army had to take the initiative to shrink and abandon some defense lines at the foot of the mountains outside the central defense line, trying to use the rugged terrain to consolidate its defense lines.

Mirage Wuyou retreated with the 1st Armored Division on the last day, and the entire central defense line was handed over to the command of Mirage Haiping: This is the best compliment for this Army Lieutenant General. After all, Mirage Wuyou defended the city well. , it is a matter of course to transfer back to guard the mirage.

He did not expect that Mirage Haiping suddenly shouldered the heavy responsibility, but he quickly adapted to this new job: In fact, he did not have to do anything, as long as he sat in the command post and let everyone know that the admiral did not Just leave.

How other troops should move about? At most, they can only ask for instructions from Mirage Haiping and ask for some supplies or reinforcements.

 The central defense line was divided into two parts, one was the city encirclement and the other was the mountain fortification area. The fortification area was not easy to mess with, so the orcs didn't pay much attention to it. Shanru put all his attention on the direction of Dingcheng, which was easier to attack.

Sure enough, just as he thought, on the third day after the Mirage Army field troops began to retreat, the Mirage Army troops in the direction of Dingcheng began to suffer a large-scale rout.

Lack of ammunition, they almost lost the support of any heavy weapons, and street fighting turned into guerrilla warfare. After using up the only ammunition left in their hands, the mirage army without any supplies basically lost its combat capability.

At the end of the battle, it was almost just a large-scale massacre: because it was impossible to distinguish who was a civilian and who was a soldier, the orc troops killed everyone they saw. They set fire to houses and threw grenades wherever they suspected.

Soon most of Dingcheng was captured by the orcs, and a large number of troops swept back and forth in the remaining parts. The gunfire in the city never stopped, and the fighting continued for three days.

Three days later, there were almost no decent houses in Dingcheng, and the gunfire finally stopped.

Orc troops drove armored vehicles and trucks through the city in a swaggering manner, crossing Dingcheng to the new battlefield on the only cleared road across the city. They passed by like victors, and it could be regarded as a military parade showing off their strength.

One army successfully joined forces with the orc troops in the north. The central fortification area was finally surrounded. The orcs made significant progress, and the mirage's resistance seemed to be defeated.

　　The reporters from the Tang Dynasty who were interviewed, as well as some observers from other countries, all saw the victory parade of the orcs in Dingcheng from a safe place.

These reporters recorded videos and took photos, recording many precious scenes. Soon their reports will be all over the major newspapers and repeated on the radio every day.

It is a pity that none of the people holding cameras and video recorders in Dingcheng are willing to go to the deep mountains and old forests north of Dingcheng to interview Mirage Haiping who is trapped in the basement and ask this Mirage country's naval admiral, now What is it like to feel...
