Macho Wars

Under the command of the commander, the Federal Airship Force quickly changed its formation and formed a vertical formation.The formation of aircraft on the opposite side also approached within the attack range after they were ready for the attack.

The federal commander had to admit that these aircraft of the Imperial Army were indeed very fast. Based on visual observations, they were more than three times faster than their airships, making it seem that they were slow to act like big stupid cows.

But these planes are coming back fast, but they are really small and pitiful, and they are like flies around the airship.

As soon as the opponent entered the range of the antiaircraft artillery and machine gun, the Federal airship opened fire first.

Facing the dense air defense firepower net of the airship formation, the fighter formation quickly dispersed. Some aircraft fired to attract the attention of the opponent, while others took the opportunity to launch rocket attacks from the side of the airship.

The first target hit was a medium-sized combat airship. Two fighter jets fired rockets at him at the same time.The pilots were all war maidens from Dragon Palace Island, and they were bold and talented, and only launched within 200 meters.

A total of twelve rockets, 11 hits!

After a series of explosions, the airship, which was nearly 100 meters long, ignited a raging fire, and its posture quickly became unbalanced. After a few minutes, it fell to the ground in the horrified eyes of the friendly forces.

And this massacre has just begun!

Chapter 314

Just like those heavy cavalry who were full of confidence and thought that the plains could be invincible in the world, the Federation airships, who lacked understanding of new things, also made wrong judgments based on old experience.

As the first airship was hit by a rocket, a unilateral massacre occurred over the Rainbow River.

Several medium-sized combat airships were the first to suffer. They were the knife guards of the heavy airships, and their duty was to fight against the enemy's combat airships.

It's a pity that they didn't run into a comparable opponent this time. The fighters, with almost four times the speed advantage, completely occupied the initiative in the battle. They could easily launch attacks from any direction. All air defense weapons against airships, at this moment They are all in vain.

Three combat airships were shot down one after another, and several heavy airships at the center of the formation were also exposed.Two fighters took advantage of the vacancy and entered, raising their hands to two sets of six companies.

Fortunately, the larger size gave these heavy airships a longer "health bar". After 12 rockets, a large area of ​​fire broke out on the left side, but they were still floating in the air, and there was no sign of tilting and crashing.

However, before the Federal soldiers on the airship began to rejoice, two more planes carrying deadly rockets rushed towards them.

In less than 30 minutes, half of the twelve airships of the Federal Army were shot down, and the rest were scarred and it was impossible to continue their combat missions.

In order to prevent the entire army from being annihilated, the remaining airships had to turn around and run, and the formation of fighters with all rockets chased them for a short period of time and then retreated and released these bereaved dogs.

However, even if it failed to get a "full score", it is a little regretful that the air team also played an impressive record in this aerial duel.

There were a lot of fighters in the battle, only four of them were shot and suffered some minor damage. One pilot was scratched by the broken cockpit glass, and the loss could be said to be minimal.

Seeing that the fuel consumption was low and the machine gun bullets were still left, Yunlong, who led the team, let the damaged and depleted bullets return to the rear base first, and the other fighters followed her to the kingdom gate to help the ground troops.

So under the leadership of Yunlong, eleven fighters left the formation and flew toward the gate of the kingdom.

When they rushed to the scene, the Federation Army was attacking the fortress, and dozens of heavy synthetic beasts in the lead were charging wildly against the fierce firepower of the defenders.

With regard to the fortress, Dragon, who was in command of the battle, also noticed the plane overhead.

At first, when he saw that there were only a dozen planes, Dragon was shocked. He subconsciously thought that the aviation team had suffered a heavy loss because of the airship. Only half of the twenty-odd planes remained.When he thought of his wife who was in battle, his heart almost touched his throat.

Fortunately, Yunlong sent a communication very quickly, stating that the Air Force had easily eliminated the federal airships and had not lost a single fighter.They rushed to help because there was still a surplus of fuel and ammunition.

Knowing that his wife was okay, Dragon was relieved immediately, and then, without being hypocritical, immediately ordered the aviation team to deal with the enemy's artillery.

Due to the destruction of the bridge by the independent regiment and the restriction of the terrain, the Federal Army was temporarily unable to bring their heavy artillery over, and could only deploy some large-caliber heavy mortars, which constituted little threat to the fortress.

But these mortars fired a lot of smoke bombs towards the front of the fortress, covering the attacks of synthetic beasts and infantry.

On the battlefield at this time, more than a dozen heavy synthetic beasts had passed through the open ground, ran under the fortress wall, and then jumped and quickly climbed onto the wall.

The defenders discovered that these heavy synthetic beasts were not the more common "assault type" of the Federal Army. The body shape resembled a lizard, and it had gecko-like soles that could be easily attached to the wall.

The outer wall of the fortress is ten meters high. These monsters can easily climb to the top, but Dragon has been prepared for it. Thirty-two tanks of the tank battalion lined up behind the wall, tilted high. The muzzle was facing the wall.

As soon as these heavy synthetic beasts from the Shimada family appeared, their faces were sturdyly muddled.

In the face of the extremely fierce firepower of the defenders, the offensive troops will have to pay a lot of casualties every step forward.Especially the soldiers of the Principality who were put in front of them as cannon fodder fell in pieces in the rain of bullets.

The tragic sacrifice made the commander of the Principality Army who were watching the battle in the rear couldn't bear to look directly, and he was secretly annoyed.

When they captured the gate of the kingdom, the principal weapon was the super cannon that was bought at a high price. They later deployed the cannon in the fortress, thinking that the combination of the two would make the world invincible, effectively deterring those who refused to obey. Their Tarrans resisters, as a result, the Imperial Army easily took the fortress.

Now that the Principality Army wants to retake the fortress again, without the super-giant artillery, they can only use conventional means and use the lives of soldiers to attack.

At this time, the artillery positions in the rear were suddenly in a hurry, and the Imperial Army's aircraft found their position and launched an attack from the air.The artillerymen were strafed by machine guns, and they were beaten up with heads.

After learning of this situation, the front commander of the Federal Army looked like water. This attack should have had a whole fleet of airships to cooperate with them, attacking the fortress from the air with large-caliber howitzers.

However, at this time, the agreed time had passed, and even the shadow of the airship could not be seen in the air. Instead, the enemy's aircraft ran over them and scattered wildly, and an ominous premonition immediately lingered in his heart.

Seeing that the offensive was very difficult, our artillery was suppressed again.The federal commanders knew in their hearts that their first round of offensive had ended in failure, and if the attack continued, it would only increase the number of casualties.

So the commander hesitated for a moment, then gave the attacking troops an order to stop the attack.

"Let them retreat. This is the first time they are testing. The firepower of the defenders is indeed fierce."

So the frontline troops quickly saw the three green flares representing the stop of the attack. The soldiers who had rushed halfway turned around and ran back, while the follow-up troops who were about to launch the charge were amnesty.

How miserable the friendly army rushed up, they just saw clearly!

And seeing the enemy troops start to retreat, the fortress side was also relieved.

Since several ammunition depots in the fortress were bombed by a strong reconnaissance company during the previous recapture operation, the fire that ignited almost burned almost half of the fortress, so the internal damage was extremely serious. Many facilities have not been repaired so far, with more than half of them. Fortress turrets cannot be used.

Fortunately, the main body of the fortress is still intact. The 18-meter-high city wall is densely covered with a large number of shooting holes, allowing the soldiers of the independent regiment to fully utilize their firepower advantage.

Chapter 315

From landing to the present, Dragon said that this is probably the most comfortable battle the Independence Group has ever fought.They have strong fortifications, occupy favorable terrain, have obvious advantages in firepower, and have sufficient ammunition.

The troops can almost be said to be at ease, waiting for the enemy to hit their guns.

Coupled with the air team led by his wife, they ensured the air superiority, so that the federal airship could not fly over them and shit, and the first battle was thus very easy to win.

However, Dragon also knows that today's battle is only the beginning. This battle is likely to continue in the coming spring until one of the parties achieves their goals or is exhausted.

Up to now, the Empire has sent six divisions and one brigade to the Far East battlefield, a total of 100,000 armies, and the Royal Navy has deployed nearly 40% of the combat fleet to ensure sea dominance and logistics supply lines.

The imperial government’s military expenditure for this was as high as 120 million gold coins, and this figure is expected to at least double by the end of the war.

For this reason, many conservatives in the empire made private speeches, believing that this war in the Far East was completely wrong.Sidney XIV wasted a large sum of military expenditures for a woman who had nothing to do with the interests of the empire.

However, there is also another group of people who hold different opinions. They believe that regardless of the cause of the empire being involved in this war, the empire’s involvement in Far Eastern affairs can play a role in containing the Federation and Eastern Qin, causing fire in their backyards and unable to concentrate military forces. Thus reducing the pressure on the northern frontiers of the empire.

What's interesting is that the colonial military district, once known as "the shame of the five empire military districts", successfully wiped out its stigma of the "five slags of war" with its outstanding performance on the battlefield in the Far East.Especially the newly formed Marine Brigade, which was less than a year old, performed exceptionally eye-catching!

Out of propaganda needs, the military mobilized the official media to report on them, and Dragon, as a representative, once again made the headlines of the newspaper.
