District 9

Jiujiang, inside the Xu Clan headquarters.

After Xu Hancheng heard the resounding sound of artillery outside the city, he immediately raised his head and shouted: "Immediately ask the front line to report back and report the enemy's attack position."

"Yes!" came the response from the communications department.

In the coalition airspace southwest of Jiujiang, Fu Zhen used the airborne communication equipment to order: "Go to an altitude of 7500, maintain it, and the flight direction remains unchanged."

"receive!"

"receive!"

"...!"

Responses came quickly from all crews.

The center of the battlefield.

Lincheng's two artillery regiments also began to suppress the air defense units of the Jiujiang defenders with firepower. The artillery shells were poured into the enemy's defense area as if they were free.

Soon, the Xu Department's combat headquarters received a detailed report.

"Commander, the opponent's artillery combat unit dispatched a total of more than 10,000 people, using two artillery brigades and three artillery regiments to attack all the air defense units of our army. After contacting the enemy, our army suffered heavy losses. Their firepower was too high. Violent." The communications officer reported standing next to the combat table.

After Xu Hancheng heard this, he immediately bent down and looked at the combat sandbox on the table: "They mobilized so many artillery combat units to attack our air defense department...Is their intention to rely on the air force for a sneak attack? Check, check immediately, let Jiujiang outside All aerial reconnaissance units, please give me feedback."

In the air, Fu Zhen, who had already flown over the heads of the coalition forces, took the walkie-talkie and shouted again: "Keep the altitude at 6,000, turn on autopilot, position and cruise, all pilots are ready."

"receive!"

"receive!"

"...!"

The crews responded again.

About three or four minutes later, all Xu's aerial reconnaissance units outside Jiujiang gave information feedback, which was then summarized to the information receiving unit of the staff headquarters, and someone reported to Xu Hancheng.

"Commander, our air reconnaissance unit has not detected any special enemy conditions at present. In the combat zone, only some enemy helicopter reconnaissance aircraft and arms transport aircraft are currently active." The reporting officer frowned and said: "Jiujiang radiates about three hundred kilometers outward. , there is absolutely no enemy bomber group or enemy destroyer group active."

At the same time, the Chief of General Staff also interjected: "Our military intelligence department has been keeping a close eye on the eighth district, and the air force in the ninth district has not found any abnormalities. And based on my personal judgment, as for Qin Yu, A guy who likes to create characters, he probably won’t launch a bombing-style air raid on Jiujiang. After all, there are still a large number of people in the city... If we really engage in indiscriminate bombing, there will definitely be a lot of casualties among the people... And this is not in line with the orthodox slogans The purpose of the coalition’s operations.”

After hearing this report, Xu Hancheng was really confused: "There are no enemy bomber groups active, so what is their purpose of attacking our air defense units?"

Not being able to predict your opponent's moves is the most uncomfortable thing for a commander!

…

Near Jiujiang, all air defense units of the Xu Department are currently covered by artillery fire from the coalition forces. A large number of soldiers dare not leave their bunkers and air raid shelters, and can only observe from the inside to the outside.

The heavy artillery with heavy firepower was all retracted and lay flat in the defense zone, waiting for the enemy's attack firepower to weaken.

Even so, it is impossible for air defense units to completely avoid the opponent's firepower. Because although this kind of combat unit is extremely destructive, its mobility is too poor, and its position cannot be moved away. Therefore, when the coalition opened fire, the losses here were also great. Many fortresses, as well as anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers and other armaments were damaged to varying degrees.

In an observation fortress, a general of the Xu Department was lying at the lookout, looking at the pictures fed back on the computer, wiping the sweat from his forehead and saying, "Damn it, Qin Yu has indeed become a spirit now, the frontier corps is here." The people he worked for were veteran generals like Lin Cheng and Huo Zhenghua. As soon as Jiujiang's attack failed, he immediately sent a 10,000-person artillery regiment to clear the way for the army. That's awesome, he's so arrogant!"

"There are so many rich people in the Eighth District. If we follow this bombing method, I guess all the rats in Jiujiang underground will be killed."

"It's useful. We have to rely on the army to attack the city. After the artillery bombardment, once we show our heads, they still can't get in."

"...!"

The officers were talking a lot and analyzing the war situation.

"Dip Lingling!"

Just as everyone was talking, a group of phones from the Communications Department rang. The communications officer answered the call immediately: "Hello?"

About thirty seconds later, after listening to the report, the communications officer immediately ran to the defense area commander and shouted: "There are some abnormalities in the enemy's airspace."

"What's abnormal?"

"The flight altitude of several transport planes is very different from the average flight altitude." The communications officer replied in a low voice: "And their flight direction is exactly Jiujiang."

The commander was stunned for a moment: "How big is the difference?"

"It has dropped to 5,000, and may drop further."

"Is it a transport plane?" the commander asked again.

"What the hell, what can a transport plane do?" The commander couldn't understand the situation, but he felt that the flying altitude of the other party was indeed a bit strange and it kept falling, so for the sake of safety, he immediately contacted the Jiujiang Operations Department.

…

in the air.

Fu Zhen's forehead was beaded with beads of sweat, and he immediately shouted to the co-pilot's flight observer: "Hurry up, get ready to leave first."

"The cruise has started. According to the budget, as long as the plane is not shot down, it will definitely reach the target location. Let's go together..."

"Manual operation is more delicate. You go first. I'm fine."

"Let's go together!"

"...Okay, let's lower the height a little bit." Fu Zhen replied immediately.

While the two were communicating, the news had been sent back to Xu Hancheng's headquarters.

"...How many are there?" Xu Hancheng asked very quickly.

"There are currently 11 detected," the other party immediately replied, "but we don't know yet whether there will be more in the future."

"What do they mean?" an officer from the staff said in confusion: "What can we do by lowering the altitude? Could it be that we are overthinking it?"

Xu Hancheng stared at the sand table, seeming to realize something.

at the same time.

Li Zhan and Lin Cheng issued orders to their subordinate artillery combat units at almost the same time, ordering them to continue to increase their firepower, suppress the enemy's air defense units, and fire out all the one-time interception missiles in advance.

In the artillery position, countless groups of missiles intercepting anti-aircraft firepower swarmed into the sky like flying sparks.

Within the headquarters.

Xu Hancheng shouted in a stern voice: "Order the air defense units to take down these transport planes in the sky at all costs. Quick...!"

The order has been given, but is it actually still too late?

The firepower of the air defense units was completely suppressed. The coalition's artillery unit of more than 10,000 people had advanced ten kilometers and gained the initiative to intercept the enemy's air defense firepower.

In Jiujiang City, two groups of rocket-type anti-aircraft guns that had not been attacked quickly opened fire.

"Swish swish!"

One after another artillery shells were launched into the sky, and two transport planes flying over from the coalition airspace were blown up on the spot.

in the air.

The co-pilot yelled at Fu Zhen: "They opened fire, let's go!"

"Uh-huh!"

Fu Zhen immediately started the jump box, closed the windproof cover, curled up and pressed the start button.

"Bang bang!"

Two figures flew out from above the transport plane.
