Chapter 939: Insist on Helping
The electric shuttle was moving at a moderate speed and was very stable. As it moved, the windows reflected the flickering lights from all over the base.
In the second row of the shuttle bus, the theater air force commander Zhou Tianyi sat quietly, the star on the lieutenant general's shoulder strap flickered coldly under the occasional strong light.
His temples were slightly frosted, his face was as calm as water, and his eyes slowly scanned everything in front of him through the car window:
The J-16 glides to the attack position, and after landing, the front wheels are dragged back to the position by a tractor, and a large number of ground crews shuttle between them, busy like ants but in an orderly manner...
However, what attracted his attention most were the hangar doors in the southwest that were open like the mouth of a giant beast. The interior was illuminated palely by the dense lighting array. The H-200 strategic bomber with a maximum take-off weight of over 20 tons was squatting quietly inside like a small hill.
A large number of ground crew members surrounded it like worker ants, looking particularly small under the light.
.....
"Commander, this is the 20st Flight Squadron of the H- Aviation Brigade. Today they are carrying out an aerial fire strike mission against Chongqing."
On the side, as soon as he noticed Zhou Tianyi's eyes, Senior Colonel Yue Tianxiang, commander of the J-16 Aviation Brigade, immediately began to introduce him.
At present, the overall ground advancement on the Yucheng battlefield is going smoothly. The Air Force does not need to be used at all, let alone air support at the level of the H-20 strategic bomber, but the Air Force insists on support.
You have to know that in the eyes of the Air Force, these are rare actual combat opportunities in the past. Anyway, the Air Force has to train every day. Instead of flying in vain and wasting fuel, it is better to adjust the training route and fly to Yucheng.
Between dropping aerial bombs on the ground and dropping them on zombies' heads, pilots naturally prefer dropping them on zombies' heads...
After all, who doesn’t like realistic hit feedback?
However, considering the cost of aerial bombs and their excessive destructiveness, the Air Force only carries a small amount of bombs during the actual combat exercises over the city of Chongqing, which can only be considered as a gratification.
...
"Hmm" Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianyi, commander of the theater's air force, nodded slightly.
The actions of the aviation brigade must have been reported to him in advance, but his understanding of these training plans was limited to the aviation brigade level.
After all, as the commander of the theater air force, it is impossible for him to know which brigade or squadron is flying every day.
And now he appeared here, naturally not to see the plane coming, but mainly to understand the preliminary preparations of the Air Force's "Operation Tianluo".
Just this morning, the "Tianluo Plan" revised and formulated by the Theater Air Force Command overnight finally obtained the signature and approval of the chief!
This means that the "Tianluo Project" promoted by him and implemented by him has officially begun!
According to the arrangement of the "Tianluo Project", as early as tomorrow morning, the first batch of about 6 waves of J-16 fighter reconnaissance formations will take off from Longbao Air Force Base and launch a large-scale mopping-up reconnaissance of the provinces in the Western Theater.
Since this is the first batch of reconnaissance missions, this mission only targets important areas under the jurisdiction of the Western Theater, such as the capital cities of five provinces, namely Shu, Qing, Gansu, Xinjiang and Tibet, as well as the locations of some military agencies.
In order to carry out this mission well, each wave of reconnaissance aircraft formation will have a J-16 multi-purpose heavy fighter equipped with a professional optoelectronic targeting pod to enhance ground reconnaissance capabilities.
The electro-optical targeting pod mounted on this mission is the WMD-9, which has high-resolution imaging, infrared thermal imaging, laser ranging, wide-area search and tracking, and zoom capabilities...
...
"Commander, these are the task forces for tomorrow morning!"
As the shuttle bus arrived at the special parking area temporarily designated at the airport, Senior Colonel Yue Tianxiang, commander of the J-16 Aviation Brigade, could not help but point to the 18 J-16 multi-purpose heavy fighter jets parked neatly in front of him and began to introduce them.
"The mission team consists of three aircraft, one of which is equipped with an electro-optical targeting pod, and the other two are equipped with air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground missiles!"
Listening to the introduction of the J-16 Brigade Commander Yue Tianxiang, the theater air force commander Zhou Tianyi nodded with satisfaction:
"Well, I won't go beyond your authority in terms of specific command. I must ensure that the mission is carried out smoothly!"
"Yes!"
Dick dick~
At this moment, the deputy director of the airport suddenly heard the communication device on his waist:
"Reporting to the Director, the airport tower reports that the Southern Theater Air Force has arrived at the night market and is approaching. It will land at the airport in about 20 minutes. Requesting coordination of air access!"
...
Facing the leaders' sudden attention, the deputy director of the airport, who was a survivor, quickly explained to Zhou Tianyi, the commander of the theater's air force:
"Report to the commander, this should be the military observation group from the southern theater of war!"
"Military observation group?"
Hearing this, Zhou Tianyi, the commander of the theater air force, quickly had an impression in his mind...it seemed to be the case...
"Then let's just inspect the preparations for the Tianluo Project here first. You will be in charge of the details. Please feel free to communicate if there is any situation!"
"Yes!" Facing his commander's instructions, Yue Tianxiang, the colonel commander of the J-16 Aviation Brigade, nodded again to assure him.
"Let's go, I'm here to greet our distinguished guests from the southern war zone!"
"Yes!"
..
hum~
Soon, with a slight hum of the motor, the shuttle bus carrying the theater air force commander Zhou Tianyi and other leaders turned around on the spot and quickly drove towards the original airport's T2 terminal.
......
And at this moment, in Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, far to the northwest of Zhou State - this giant cemetery that was strangled by the turbid waves of the Yellow River and the heavy shadows of the mountains after the end of the world, is staging a tragic battle to recover!
Buzz -- Buzz -- Buzz!!!
The deafening sound of helicopter rotors tore through the night sky. Dozens of armed attack helicopters flew low like steel beasts, their engines spewing out scorching air waves, drawing hideous tracks in the inky black night sky of Lanzhou.
Beams of searchlights shot out from the belly of the plane, as thick as giant spears, brutally tearing through the night sky and sweeping across the city in a crisscross pattern: the gray skyscrapers were covered with thick dust, and rusty steel bars protruded hideously between the broken walls; the wreckage of the viaduct twisted into a pretzel was suspended in the air, and the broken glass flashed an eerie cold light under the beams of light; and further away, a tide of corpses was surging and rolling like a black tide, making teeth-grinding roars.
Every time the pale light beam suddenly freezes, it is a vivid picture of hell:
Densely packed corpses were stepping on the rotting bodies of their companions to form a wriggling "flesh ladder". The broken limbs kept falling while climbing, but they still rushed forward one after another to the temporary defense lines in various parts of the city - those fragile barriers composed of sandbags, overturned abandoned buses and barricades covered with spikes were being hit and were crumbling.
Da da da da da! !
bang bang bang! ! !
The dense gunfire and dull explosions echoed wildly in the narrow river valley city, as if the whole of Lanzhou was shaking. Countless dark red tracer bullets drew twisted trajectories in the night sky, like boiling bloodstains, cutting the darkness into pieces.
The roar of the heavy machine gun was like the roar of an enraged beast! The soldier tightly grasped the hot gun, his finger firmly on the trigger, and the metal storm spewed out from the muzzle swept through the street like a gust of wind, blood and flesh flew everywhere, plowing a road of death paved with broken bones, rotten flesh and black and red blood on the road.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh — whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Just when the whole city was caught in a bitter battle and the defense line advanced during the day was difficult to consolidate and was about to be pushed back by the violent zombie swarms in the night, suddenly there was a sharp and piercing buzzing sound from the sky, like the flapping wings of thousands of poisonous bees!
