"How are we going to carry out the air raid later?" a pilot whispered.
When the pilots on the high-altitude reconnaissance plane heard this, they all looked at each other in confusion.
Although the synthetic aperture radar, infrared sensors and other equipment of high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft are very advanced.
But that is only for buildings, defensive positions and roads. It is not very effective for defenders who may move at any time.
But on the ground, the protection that the town of Vick has taken against aerial reconnaissance is not as simple as burning tires.
Various infrared and radar shielding equipment are used.
This time, the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft was able to obtain not much specific intelligence.
"Don't think too much about it. Let's leave the problem to the people in the rear!" A pilot shook his head.
"We need to keep flying forward. We need to collect intelligence on the enemy in the entire Dan'an area!" said a pilot who was obviously of a higher status. This should be the captain.
"yes!"
The captain, looking at the sky ahead from the cockpit, said, "We need to be more careful next time."
"The airspace in the Dan'an area is no longer under our control. If we fly in, we might be intercepted by enemy air forces at any time."
"If you find anything wrong, be ready to evacuate at any time!"
"Yes!" The other pilots responded in unison.
…
Li Xin didn’t understand the situation in the sky for the time being.
Soon, the latest intelligence was updated in the communication, and fighter jets were dispatched from the rear. Although they failed to successfully shoot down the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, they did drive it away.
Although they were driven away, no one in Wick Town let down their guard.
Everyone is on guard against a battle that may break out at any time.
…
In the important town of Milda, further behind the town of Vic, there is the headquarters established by the Milda Knights.
The command center was full of busy officers, most of whom were staff officers or technical officers.
The command center is also located deep underground. In terms of defense level, the command center of the 322nd Brigade in Vick Town cannot even catch up with the defense level here.
In the command center, the huge screen and the holographic map below are the topographic maps of Vick Town.
The updated intelligence from high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft has been summarized and appeared in this command center.
Several senior military officers watched the scene with frowns on their faces.
"The Air Force is a bunch of rubbish!"
"The information we captured is completely useless!"
A senior officer said in a deep voice.
Another officer said, "Vick Town is a vital logistical hub and must be taken. Even if the intelligence from the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft isn't enough, we must find other ways!"
"Notify the Air Force and have heavy fighters launch an attack on the high-value targets that have been discovered!"
An old general with white hair and beard frowned and said, "After that...let the infantry begin firepower reconnaissance!"
"Since the Air Force's intelligence isn't working, let's get the infantry started little by little!"
"Don't attack the original ammunition depot and resource depot for now. If we can't take this place, destroy it with missiles!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
In this command center, a word from a senior officer will determine the outcome of many people's lives.
…
Soon, fighter jets began to take off from the air force base behind the Knights of Milda.
Just like the blueprint, fighter jets good at air combat lead the way in the front, while heavy fighter jets used for ground attacks follow in the rear.
Fighter planes roared past, and after Blueprint discovered Milda's high-altitude reconnaissance plane, he prepared to defend against air strikes.
The current air supremacy in the Dan'an area cannot be lost, so the fighter jets of the 23rd Air Force Division are ready for battle at any time.
The early warning aircraft has been hovering in the sky.
After detecting Milda's aerial signal, the fighter planes of the 23rd Air Division also took off.
Fighter jets from both sides engaged in a fierce battle in the air, with various air combat missiles and laser beams flying continuously.
From time to time, a fighter jet would be hit and explode on the spot, or it would circle and fall with black smoke.
In some ways, fighting in the air is no easier than fighting on the ground.
The dogfight fighters were fighting in the air, while Milda's heavy fighters had already begun bombing.
They dived low and began air strikes on some presumed high-value targets.
On the ground, anti-aircraft positions were also continuously firing.
The anti-aircraft missile vehicle quickly locked onto the enemy fighter target, and then flew out with a roar.
The missile draws a beautiful arc, using data to estimate the fighter's trajectory in advance, supplemented by thermal signal detection,
"boom!!"
A diving heavy fighter was hit by an anti-aircraft missile vehicle and exploded into pieces in the air.
"good!!"
“Come again, come again!”
Inside the missile vehicle, the crew members shouted excitedly.
But the next moment, the anti-aircraft missile vehicle that exposed its signal was counterattacked by the Milda Air Force.
"call out!"
A ground-to-ground missile tracking radar signals fell off from under the wing of the heavy fighter plane. The tail ignited instantly and fell from the sky with a white tail flame.
"boom!!!"
The missile locked onto the radar signal and accurately hit the air defense missile vehicle. The huge explosion directly shattered the air defense system.
On the ground, defensive positions and marked high-value targets all began to explode under the air strike, and flames and explosion fragments were everywhere.
Mushroom clouds with explosion flames below and white smoke above rose into the sky over the town of Vick.
This former mining town suffered two air raids in just two days, which is a very high frequency.
Not only air strikes, but also artillery positions set up by the enemy in the distance began to carry out long-range artillery bombardments on some positions.
Various large-caliber howitzers and rockets, taking advantage of their longer range, began to unleash firepower towards the front-line positions.
“Boom!!”
Large-caliber grenades and long-range rockets emitting white smoke poured towards the defensive positions established by the 69th Brigade as if they were free.
There were explosions and flames everywhere.
The artillery fire was fierce, the explosion was strong, and there were many fragments, but the lethality did not cause great casualties.
This kind of long-range firepower is not very effective against infantry hiding in fortifications.
Thanks to the fortifications previously built by Milda's 322nd Motorized Infantry Brigade, the soldiers of the 69th Brigade, who have now taken over the fortifications, still have an advantage in resisting artillery attacks.
Li Xin and the other eleven mechas hiding among the rocks near the artificial lake were silently listening to the fierce explosions around them.
There were only a few sporadic howitzer shells fired at them, and as long as the target was not exposed for the time being, no fighter jets would drop bombs here.
