air combat command
Chu Xiao took out his ID card and swiped it into the headquarters hall.
The hall, which always looks a little empty on weekdays, is full of soldiers in a hurry today, some of them are obviously in a hurry, and they are still wearing civilian clothes.
Chu Xiao came to the conference hall according to the instructions of the terminal.
The hall was already densely packed with officers wearing shoulder badges of various colors, and they were collectively watching the large three-dimensional screen hanging in the center of the hall.Chu Xiao quietly walked in, looking for an empty seat in the back row and sitting down.
A battle video is playing on the big screen.It was recorded by a collection team when they were fighting near-ground mechs.Then the large screen displayed the intelligence brain's analysis of the force of this near-earth mecha, as well as the distribution of the mecha detected through satellite signals.I saw that there were already more than a dozen red dots representing near-earth mechs on the map of City B.Then there is a map of Asia, and then a map of the global distribution.
There are so many red dots on the map that can drive dense phobias crazy, and almost all densely populated human settlements have suffered attacks to varying degrees.There was no sound in the conference hall, only the intelligent brain voice mechanically broadcasting the global losses and casualties on the big screen.
At this moment, the door of the meeting hall was opened again, and then a man with the appearance of an orderly came in, walked up to a gray-haired old general in front of the hall, whispered something in his ear, Chu Xiao saw the old general with sharp eyes His expression became more serious.
This is General Zhao, the commander-in-chief of their Air Force.He is 68 years old, and he is the oldest five-star general in office. The space fortress currently deployed on the outer periphery of the earth was proposed and promoted by the old general.
The old general stood up tremblingly.His hair is gray, his forehead and the corners of his eyes are full of lines carved by time.He slowly turned around, slowly glanced around the conference hall, looked at the resolute faces opposite, and spoke in a painful tone.
"Everyone, I just received the latest news from the front line. Ten to six minutes ago, my Space Fortress was attacked by pirates from outside the territory, and the loss is unknown. After we received the information, we tried to establish a connection with the Space Fortress again, but failed. Ten 6 minutes, with today's technology, I believe everyone here understands how much can happen in 6 minutes."
Although the old general's back was no longer straight, his eyes were like hooks, and with the chill tempered from blood and fire, he swept over everyone sitting. "This is a premeditated attack. The enemy first attacked the main cities on the ground of our planet, causing widespread panic and dispersion of troops. Then they sent troops to attack our space fortress, trying to catch us off guard."
"I believe this is just the beginning!"
"The earth has now entered a state of first-level war preparation. The chief executive has issued an emergency wartime notice. All regions and all arms are strictly subject to the unified deployment of the military. If there is any objection, they will be killed on the spot."
"The earth has entered a moment of life and death. We are the last line of defense to guard the earth. I hope you all remember the oath you once swore under the flag of the army."
"I will use myself as a shield to defend every inch of the earth until the last drop of blood is shed."
With the old general's order, the entire air force headquarters immediately sped up, and each department performed its duties and was ready for battle.
Chu Xiao was walking out with the flow of people, when suddenly the communication with the built-in earphone was connected, he paused, then turned around and walked to the general command room.
To Chu Xiao's surprise, there was not only their commander-in-chief, General Lin, but also the commander-in-chief, General Zhao, and several colleagues from the military department in the command room.
"General." Chu Xiao gave a standard military salute.
"Yes." The old marshal nodded.Then he gestured to General Lin.
General Lin is a middle-aged man with a stern face. He is rigid and serious in his daily life.Someone secretly called him King Lin Yan.
Lin Yan Wang glanced at his young subordinates, but did not speak.These are all the soldiers brought out by him, some have outrageous personalities, some have arrogant personalities, and some seem to be taciturn, but they are actually as careful as a hair.It's just that I don't know how many will be left after this battle.
Chu Xiao and the others stood beside him straight, without any impatience on their faces, quietly waiting for King Lin Yan to speak.
It seemed that Lin Yanwang had finally seen enough, and he calmed down and opened his mouth. "Three hours ago, a certain government official of my star was assassinated at his home. At the same time, several government officials present were also attacked. An hour ago, many places in my star were attacked by unknown armed forces, resulting in A large number of casualties, and so far, our star has not fully controlled the situation. And just half an hour ago, my space fortress was hit by heavy fire, and then lost contact with the ground command center."
Lin Yanwang clicked on a light screen, "This is the last image transmitted before the connection was interrupted."
This is the scene captured by the camera satellite when Battlestar happened to be cruising near a camera satellite.
In the image, the huge silver space fortress stands quietly in the darkness.This is a super space-time battleship built with the financial and material resources of several generations.It is a super space weapon that can monitor and defend the armed forces on the periphery of the earth, and can respond to emergencies on the earth in the air.Known as the first barrier to protect the earth.
The picture on the screen is no different from what I usually see.However, Chu Xiao found that there was a black dot in the upper left corner of the screen at some point, and the black dot became larger at a very slow speed.
Chu Xiao's heart suddenly tightened.Photographic reconnaissance satellite technology is also an important means of space reconnaissance in space today, known as space eyes.It can be used for strategic intelligence collection, tactical reconnaissance, etc.Although this camera satellite is not for military use, except for the lower accuracy, the shooting range will not be much different.
The camera satellite finally detected this anomaly and released a small drone to investigate.Then the screen was switched to the screen shot by the drone.As the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, the black dot became larger at a speed that was already visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a black shadow covering the sky and the sun.
It's an enemy attack!
A black battleship appeared on the screen. The first battleship had a black skull logo printed on it, and a blood-stained crossed sword underneath.It's an interstellar pirate!
The small drone camera had just captured this information, and before it could react, it was blown away by the violent cannon fodder on the opposite side.
Then the screen cuts back to the satellite.
Like crows, the menacing pirate fleet is gradually approaching the unaware Battlestar with ominous black clouds.As soon as it came into range, it launched an attack.The soaring artillery fire instantly surrounded the silver space fortress.Even the picture of the satellite was disturbed by the aftermath of the artillery fire, and the stability was disturbed, and it shook a few times.
Then the small camera satellite was affected because it was too close, and the screen flickered, leaving a full screen of snowflakes.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for radar not to detect the enemy's fleet.Pirates have been active outside the region for these years, but they have not been very successful. They always rob houses on the edge of the waterway and harass the passing merchant ships and civilian fleets. It is the alliance that has tolerated them for so many years.Could it be that they have really developed new technologies that are enough to catch up with the alliance too much?
Chu Xiao didn't believe it.
That wave of pirates valued profits and was short-sighted, and they did not have enough funds and industries to support the huge costs required for long-term scientific research.There is not enough financial resources to form such a large super fleet.
So who is behind these pirates?And who disclosed the defense map of the fortress to them in advance, so that they can bypass the defense around the fortress?
The near-earth mechs that were originally strictly prohibited from being owned by the alliance are now appearing on the earth in large numbers.Chu Xiao thought of Dilang No. [-] that Lou Xiaoqi and the others encountered in City C, and suddenly felt his scalp go numb.
The opponent's layout and actions with such a big fanfare will definitely not be as simple as just targeting a fortress.
The alliance has been quiet for too long, so long that too many people have forgotten that although peace is the ultimate goal pursued by mankind, war is inevitable after all.
The old marshal said in a deep voice, "Space Fortress has been out of contact for nearly 10 minutes, and we have prepared for the worst. The second combat department will set off to support in 5 minutes. Other regional armies will also conduct ground clearance at the same time. And assist the Air Force to rearm its defenses. From now on, all relevant personnel in this operation will obey the unified deployment of the military department, use temporary encrypted communication, and cut off all contact with the outside world."
When the old marshal said this, a frightening light burst out of his cloudy eyes, "The former Radical Party candidate, John Dawrens, has been secretly arrested on suspicion of colluding with pirates and leaking national information. At this time of crisis, no matter who If you dare to betray the country and the people, you will be executed on the spot!"
Needle dropping could be heard in the command room. The old marshal was old and did not speak fast, but every word was resounding, bloody and murderous in his tone, and the atmosphere in the command room suddenly became tense.
"Chu Xiao, the first special operations team, you lead the second and third teams to perform special missions. The mission order will be sent to your personal terminal in 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, all external communications will be cut off." Lin Yanwang's voice was the same as before, without any unnecessary fluctuations, as if Talking about irrelevant topics.
He looked down at the time on the terminal, "Soldiers, from now on, you have 5 minutes of free time, and you can start thinking about your last words."
The command room was quiet, even at this time, there was no sound of panic or questioning.The well-trained soldiers seemed to have anticipated the arrival of this time, and accepted Lin Yanwang's words calmly.
Chu Xiao bowed his head and left a message on the terminal to his family. This was already thought up when he joined the army, so there is no need to think about it again.
only one person……
He looked at Su Yao's name on the terminal, and the content of the message was deleted and changed.It wasn't until the time was about to come that he finally made up his mind and typed a few words solemnly, setting it to be sent after 12 hours.
Just after the setting is completed, the signal position of the terminal turns gray immediately.
"Young man." The old marshal walked up to them slowly, his eyes were like cold blades scraping across the soldier's young face, as if he was looking at it, and as if he wanted to find cowardice or something else, he whispered He asked, "Don't you ask why you were sent there?"
Chu Xiao calmly looked back at the old man who was over seventy years old, and raised his hand to salute a standard military salute, "Report sir, I am a soldier."
And soldiers, never ask why.
The old man's eyes flickered, he raised his hand to straighten his crooked epaulettes, then patted his shoulder, "Let's go."
The young officer leaned his right foot to his left, and gave a final military salute to the aged marshal.
Air Force Base in City B
The entire base is brightly lit.Chu Xiao sat in the waiting hall and waited for the ground crew to equip the aircraft with weapons.The tarmac is full of aircraft ready to go.The sound of thousands of aircraft engines starting up made people's eardrums buzz.Even in the hall, it is difficult to hear what the other party is saying.
A notification came from the ground service in the headset that their team's aircraft had been assembled.Chu Xiao stood up and led the team members towards the aircraft.
The aircraft of the special mission team is equipped with the most advanced adapters, the purpose is to reduce the driver's fatigue caused by long-term operation, improve the comfort and the fit between the driver and the airframe, and the weapons are also equipped with the highest adapter on the earth today. Sophisticated high-tech weapons.The cost of each aircraft is enough to make the finance minister weep.
Chu Xiao was strangely devoid of any extra emotions, as calm as if he was going to conduct an ordinary daily exercise instead of carrying out a dangerous special mission.He checked the aircraft's facilities, and then made an ok gesture to the ground crew below.
The ground crew made a gesture to indicate receipt, and then stepped back a few steps to the side to play a semaphore.
The aircraft started slowly, blue flames spewed out from its tail, and it soared into the sky after a short taxi.Followed by dozens of heavily armed military aircraft.The blue tail flames from the tail of the aircraft pierced the night sky, circled over the base for a week, and disappeared into the vast night at random.
This night the earth is doomed not to sleep.Many people lost their homes and relatives in the flames of war. Young soldiers went to the battlefield in full dress. Countless people were anxious in the dark, hoping for the arrival of dawn.
