Alien Arms Empire.

"Finally, we can prevent our pilots from taking the risk of fighting with enemy planes." A general of the Tang Empire Air Force unbuttoned his collar and said to Deputy Commander Xiao Yun: "Thunderbolt has been mass-produced. "

"Didn't this give away both 262 and 183, otherwise we will have to wait for a while if we want to use cheap air-to-air missiles." Xiao Yun took out a cup and personally poured a glass of water for his capable man.

There are not many people with this kind of treatment. The general under him hurriedly got up and took the water glass from the deputy commander: "Thank you, General! That's why it's not easy, otherwise we really need to use active radar guidance Going to shoot a propeller plane."

It's not a good thing when technology develops so fast that others can't catch up.For example, if you directly deploy an assault rifle and the armor strength cannot keep up, then you may not be able to defeat enemies equipped with Mauser rifles or Mosin Nagant rifles in actual combat.

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

In actual combat, everyone still prefers bolt-action rifles that require less logistical supplies, are easier to maintain, have a longer range, and have higher hit accuracy.

Because of comprehensive consideration, the assault rifle is really not a good choice without the need for fire suppression accompanied by armored forces.

For the same reason, under the premise that other countries cannot install jet fighters, relatively cheap air-to-air combat missiles with infrared seekers cannot be popularized.

There is no way, unless a fighting missile with a modern optical imaging comparison seeker is developed in one go, otherwise, if the infrared seeker is launched, it is unlikely to hit an old-fashioned propeller fighter.

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

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

This type of missile can lock on to a low-calorie target 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 frighteningly high.

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

That broken plane is not as expensive as the radar seeker. Using missiles to hit such planes is really not worth the candle.That's why the Tang Empire has not been equipped with air-to-air missiles for a long time.

Well now, the Yangmu Empire far away on the Eastern Continent has 262 jet fighters, and at the same time, the Qin State next door has finally got its wish and equipped with 183 fighter jets.

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

Air-to-air missiles are no longer useless, and they will shine in the sky, keeping the pilots of the Datang Empire away from the danger of fighting with the enemy.

"Now that we have Thunderbolt air-to-air missiles, we will definitely surprise those enemy pilots!" The general under him continued excitedly.

Xiao Yun also laughed. He remembered a joke that everyone made in the previous meeting: The instructor asked, why do you have to fight with the enemy?The student replied, because my plane has a maneuvering advantage.The instructor said, wrong!Because you are stupid!You should deal with each other with air-to-air missiles!
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 started mass production, and it has become real!

If in the past, the pilots of the Datang Empire flying J-[-] fighter jets had a one-in-a-thousand chance of being shot down by an opponent who performed at a super level, then now, this only little chance has disappeared.

In the future, the pilots of the Tang Empire will start to abandon the tactics of close-range machine gun dogfighting, and they will gradually get used to relying on fighting missiles to solve problems at a distance of about ten kilometers.

Another good news is that J-[-] fighter jets are mass-produced together with the Thunderbolt missiles.Previously, because there was no supporting missile, the J-[-] fighter jet equipped with a small nose radar was delayed in mass production.

Well now, the Thunderbolt missile has been put into use, so the J-[-] seems a bit outdated.The "Seven Lords" that the Air Force has been thinking about is finally about to enter active service.

This brand-new fighter jet will allow the Datang Imperial Air Force to gain absolute air supremacy: their opponents don't even have radar, and the J-[-] can already launch thunderbolt missiles for sneak attacks from ten kilometers away.

A thunderbolt and lightning five times in a row, sneak attack!The air force pilots of the Tang Empire are so ignorant of martial arts!
The future air battle has already changed in the technological innovation quietly started by the Tang Empire, but other countries don't know it yet.

When some countries in the world barely entered the field of jet aircraft technology in the World War II era, the navy and air force of the Datang 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's double delta wing shock to the world!
……

Mirage, Dingcheng.

The Mirage 1st Armored Division outside the city had retreated, leaving only the nominal 2nd Armored Division to die with the mirage troops in the encirclement.

It is said that it is the 2nd Armored Division. In fact, this armored division in Mirage did not have any tanks to 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 are also some parts that cannot be repaired without parts, and they are also 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 and thin-skinned.

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

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

The encirclement of Dingcheng meant that a small number of orc troops could cross Dingcheng and move towards the rear of the Mirage Army's 3rd Armored Division.

The 3rd Armored Division of the Mirage Army was attacked by the enemy and could only retreat—in fact, this unit, which was more capable of fighting than Mirage expected, had long been ordered by Mirage Wuke to retreat and run away.

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

Although there are still some gaps, the actual communication is gone.To put it bluntly, it is okay for a small group of troops to break through the siege, and transporting supplies is a luxury.

Under such circumstances, the mirage army had to take the initiative to shrink, abandoning some lines of defense at the foot of the outer mountain of the central line of defense, trying to use the rugged terrain to consolidate their line of defense.

Mirage You retreated with the 1st Armored Division on the last day, and the entire central defense line was handed over to Mirage Ping: This is the best compliment for this lieutenant general, after all, Mirage You defended the city well. , It is a matter of course to transfer back to guard the mirage.

It was unexpected for Mirage Ping to suddenly take on the heavy burden, but he quickly adapted to this new job: In fact, he didn’t need to do anything, just sit in the command post honestly and let everyone know that the admiral did not Just leave.

How should the other troops move or how to move, at most they will ask Mirage Ping for some supplies or reinforcements.

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

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 be defeated on a large scale.

Lacking ammunition, they almost lost the support of any heavy weapons, and the street fighting turned into guerrilla warfare. After the only ammunition left in their hands was exhausted, the mirage army without any supplies basically had no combat capability.

At the end of the battle, it was almost just a 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 orcs, and a large number of troops swept back and forth in the remaining part.The gunfire in the city never stopped, and the battle continued for three days.

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

The orc troops swaggered through the city in armored vehicles and trucks, crossing Dingcheng on the only cleared road across the city to the new battlefield.They passed by in the attitude of victors, which can be regarded as a military parade showing off their might.

A force successfully joined forces with the orc forces in the north, and the central fortified area was finally encircled. The orcs made significant progress, and the mirage's resistance seemed to be doomed.

The interviewed reporters from the Tang Empire, as well as some observers from other countries, all watched the orcs' victory parade in Dingcheng from a safe place.

These reporters recorded video and video, took pictures, and recorded many precious pictures.Soon their reports will fill the major newspapers and be repeated on the radio broadcasts non-stop every day.

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