Twenty minutes later.
"Reporting to Commander, the Air Force has arrived at the border area." News came from the combat command room.
Li Yunpeng immediately ordered: "Start destroying the cross-river bridge!"
"yes!"
The V3 rockets hidden deep in the mountains on the border opened fire together, with an average of more than 30 rockets flying towards each bridge.
The Blue Dragon Empire's air defense is not a vegetarian. Almost as soon as the rocket took off, the radar had already scanned it, and the air defense firepower was launched instantly. At the same time, the counterattack rocket launcher also attacked the guard position.
The Patriot air defense system also captured incoming rockets and short-range missiles from the enemy immediately.
Before the two sides met, a long-range firepower contest began.
In an instant, missiles were flying wildly, and countless people were blown up by the volley.
The sound of the explosion resounded across the sky and could still be clearly heard hundreds of kilometers away.
The Guard Rocket Force basically fires one round at a time to avoid enemy fire. The bridge across the river is a dead object and cannot be moved. The rockets that passed through the anti-aircraft fire hit the river bridge one by one. .
The outpost commander of the Blue Dragon Empire was a lieutenant general division commander named Wei Zhong, who commanded seven divisions to fight for Sequoia City.
At this time, Wei Zhong's face was ashen. The purpose of the guards was very straightforward. They wanted to blow up the Jiangqiao. No matter how powerful the anti-aircraft firepower was, they could not stop all the rockets.
What's more, the rockets of the Guards seemed to be free of charge. They didn't care how many they were shot down and just flew towards the cross-river bridge.
Looking at the dilapidated cross-river bridge through the telescope, Wei Zhong gritted his teeth and ordered: "Abandon the cross-river bridge, and the air force will move around to attack the enemy's heavy firepower positions!"
"yes!"
Losing Jiangqiao and the air force will not interrupt the supply of troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and the long-distance firepower on the north bank of the Lanlong River can also support the south of the Yangtze River.
So although the cross-river bridge is important, it is not necessary.
The main force of Wei Zhong¡¯s divisional air force is the Air-10 fighter, a self-developed third-generation and a half fighter. It¡¯s not that there are no more advanced ones, but they are not on the Jiangnan battlefield.
After the Blue Dragon Empire gave up its defense of the cross-river bridge, the three bridges were instantly covered by rockets. Several sections of the several-kilometer-long concrete bridge were blown apart and collapsed.
"Reporting to your commander, all the bridges across the river have been destroyed, and the enemy troops are found flying around and attacking from the flanks."
"The rocket force changes its target, bombs enemy positions and anti-aircraft firepower points at the same time, releases enemy planes into the country, and with the cooperation of the air force and anti-aircraft firepower, kill them for me!"
"yes!"
What the Blue Dragon Empire doesn¡¯t know is that, except for the northeastern border area, Guard Patriot air defense missile systems are deployed in all other directions.
Even if Wei Zhong was killed, he would never have imagined that the precious air defense system was as common as cabbage in the Guard Army.
After receiving the order, the Guards Air Force immediately turned and flew in the direction of the enemy Blue-10 fighter group.
When the two armies were dozens of kilometers apart, they discovered each other on radar almost simultaneously. Air-to-air missiles were launched immediately, and a beyond-visual-range air battle began.
"Avoid! Avoid!"
After the Guard Air Force commander issued the order to launch the missile, he immediately led the fleet to lower its altitude to avoid the enemy's anti-aircraft missiles.
In less than a minute, the enemy missiles were already visible to the naked eye. Guard fighter planes were firing jamming bombs while maneuvering among the mountains, making various tricky flying movements.
Nearly a hundred missiles were fired, but only seven hit the Guards fighter planes. The rest were evaded or decoyed by jamming bombs to explode.
Even if the aircraft was hit, the pilots who were at least Level 2 Evolutionaries would parachute as soon as possible. As long as they were not blown up in the air, the pilot's survival probability was extremely high.
This is also Li Yunpeng¡¯s order. A pilot is much more precious than a fighter plane, especially a pilot who has experienced the baptism of war, which is even more important.
On the other hand, the Blue Dragon Empire Air Force, after entering Xihai Province from the flank, was immediately intercepted by the Guard Air Force. After both sides fired missiles at each other, they also entered a defensive state.
What they didn¡¯t expect was that although the enemy missiles were not more numerous than theirs, hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles suddenly flew up from the mountains below, frightening the commander of the Blue Dragon Empire Air Force into a panic.
"Damn it! Avoid it! Reduce altitude quickly! Retreat! This is a trap!"
While giving the order, he plunged headlong towards the ground at an almost vertical angle, and only pulled up the nose of the aircraft at the extreme distance to avoid missile pursuit in the valley.
Many other inexperienced fighter pilots were only tens of seconds late and were bitten by at least three missiles. This almost meant a certain death situation. All the jamming bombs were thrown out at once. In the panic, they usually learned The theoretical knowledge is not used at all.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Many of the dozens of fighter planes that invaded Xihai Province were immediately destroyed. A feeling of despair spread among the Blue Dragon Empire Air Force. The Guard Air Force and anti-aircraft missiles launched a total of hundreds of missiles, except for some who were lured to death by interference bombs. It exploded, and two-thirds of it was still flying and locked on the target.
Under high pressure, many pilots of the Blue Dragon Empire Air Force even abandoned their planes and parachuted.
These planes that lost control had no chance to crash and were blown to pieces by missiles.
The fate of the parachuting pilots was not much better. Under the ground anti-aircraft firepower of the Guards, anti-aircraft machine guns ruthlessly tore their bodies into pieces.
After a desperate struggle, the Blue Dragon Empire Air Force fighter planes finally got rid of the first round of attacks after suffering one-third of the battle damage. They did not dare to increase their altitude for fear of being locked by the air defense radar, so they prepared to fly close to the ground and withdraw to Jiangbei.
The idea was good, but the Guards Air Force, which quickly recovered from the first wave of strikes, was already approaching them.
"Damn it! The guards are coming, run!"
The commander of the Blue Dragon Empire Air Force has no intention of fighting at this time. This is a trap filled with enemy air defense missiles. Anyone who dares to take off and be locked by the air defense radar will definitely die.
¡°But to be chased and beaten by the guards like this, the situation is equally desperate.
After discovering the traces of the Blue Dragon Empire Air Force, the guards immediately turned downwards and fired air-to-air missiles and airborne rapid-fire cannons at the same time.
The Blue Dragon Empire Air Force was flying at an extremely low altitude at this time, leaving little room to maneuver. The fighter planes that fell behind suddenly turned into a ball of fire.
The damaged aircraft had no chance to save itself and crashed into the mountains almost instantly.
This was an unequal air massacre. The Blue Dragon Empire Air Force only launched one round of missiles before starting its escape.
The guards pursued them all the way to the other side of the Lanlong River. After encountering anti-aircraft weapons rising from the ground, they turned back and flew towards the Moyang City Air Force Base.
Looking at the air force fleet of the Blue Dragon Empire that invaded Xihai Province this time, less than one-third have returned. All the pilots were in shock and were frightened to the point of confusion.
During the air battle, no one even had time to report the situation. It was not until he was out of danger that Wei Zhong received news from the Air Force and immediately drove to the Air Force base.
