In other words, the ground radar network provided them with missile attack signals until the AIM-120 reached five kilometers away from the Red Army's cover aircraft group.

When the AIM-120 suddenly appeared on the onboard radar screen, this caused another panic among the Red Army fighter fleet. Many fighters were judged to be shot down before they could do some action, while more aircraft hurriedly threw out jamming foil strips, activated the electronic jamming system, and made small-scale maneuvers, trying to avoid the other party's air-to-air missiles.

However, the exercise command determined that the Blues' medium-range out-of-sight attack was successful. It was determined that even if the Red Army took maneuvering evasion, the success rate of the opponent was still as high as 50%. About one-fifth of the fighter jets had their weapon systems turned off and demanded to withdraw from the airspace.

At this time, the Red Army's air commander made a bold decision: go up the whole army and break through the Blue Army's beyond-visual combat defense line. Adopt close-range combat methods, give full play to the advantages of our machine guns, drag down the Blue Army's attack aircraft group, and cover the bomber's escape.

His idea was good, and his decision was bold. On the other hand, the Blues probably believed that they were sure to win, leaving one-third of the fighter jets to fight, and the other two-thirds, under the guidance of early warning aircraft, bypassed the airspace, attempting to wipe out the Red Army's air force in one battle.

The Red Army's J-7 is the same as the F-16 simulated by the Blue Army. The speed of both sides is the same, one is Mach 2.1 and the other is Mach 2. Once facing the battle head-on, it will soon reach the close-range combat distance.

During this period, the Blue Army launched another medium-range air-to-air missile. During high maneuvers, the exercise command determined that the success rate of the attack was only 30%. So far, the Red Army's fighter jets had dropped by nearly one-fourth!

Before the exercise began, according to the fighter aircraft configuration of the Red and Blue Armies, the exercise command center configured 38 fighter aircraft for the Blue Army. The Red Army had a total of 76 fighter aircraft because of the low cost and mature technology.

After experiencing ground air defense missile ambush, medium-range air-air missile tail-chasing raid, and enemy planes launched medium-range air-air missiles again during frontal combat, the Red Army still retained 53 fighter jets.

The Blue Army fighter jets that remained to fight were only one-third of the main aircraft group, so there were twelve in total.

Twelve to fifty-three!

Under the condition that the onboard electronic equipment far exceeds that of the Red Army aircraft and the maneuverability is slightly similar, the Blue Army paid a heavy price for underestimating the enemy this time!

With the spirit of fighting for bayonets, the Red Army rushed forward like a pack of wolves as soon as they entered the combat distance.

On the battlefield situation chart, countless blue and red lines representing short-range combat missiles fill this airspace.

The air battle was extremely fast. In a few minutes, the Blue Army launched two fighter planes to escape from the battlefield and broke through to the side. The rest were judged to be wiped out!

The Red Army won it was not easy, and they themselves lost nineteen fighter planes!

When the fighter group of Blues attacking bombers rushed over, the air battle had ended. The ammunition carried by both sides had basically been used up. Only the Blues launched an over-visual range salvo and shot down six Red Army fighters. This roundabout and ambush battle officially came to an end.

Ten to twenty-five!

One to two to five shot down exchange ratio! One-four million US dollars, for 37 million RMB, is not considered the winner in terms of aircraft cost.

However, relying on this air combat, the Blue Army successfully reduced the huge cluster of the Red Army to a level roughly the same as that of the original side, achieving its strategic goals. Forced the Red Army's air force to change the idea of ​​seizing air supremacy, and retreated to the range of the ground radar network, becoming a simple defensive air force, allowing the Blue Army aircraft to rage in the air.

The entire air battle lasted from the Red Army's retreat to the two sides' withdrawal from the combat airspace, which was only a quarter of an hour, and this quarter of an hour completely changed the next combat plan of the Red and Blue Armed Forces.

That is, less than half an hour after obtaining the air battle results at the Blue Army Command, the Blue Army's ground artillery roared.

With the coordinates provided by the early warning aircraft, the previously exposed Red Army artillery positions will either be destroyed or transferred in a hurry. However, as long as they want to stay and rebuild the positions, they will be attacked by the opponent's overwhelming artillery fire and suffer heavy losses.

The Red Army also launched two ground-to-ground missile attacks, destroying some of the Blue Army's long-range artillery fire, but this is a drop in the bucket! Missiles and artillery water are more expensive, which is unknown. The Red Army can only use limited missiles and vague coordinates to slightly reduce the biggest threat to the Blue Army. They can only achieve this level when the battlefield reconnaissance is blocked.

Under such circumstances, the Red Army was forced to stop attacking and try its best to maintain the front line. Artillery, tanks and other technical troops were on standby and dared not be exposed to open areas anymore.

The front between the two sides showed a wonderful calm and formed a fragile balance.

The Red Army wanted to retreat but did not dare to retreat. There were examples of the Korean War. If they retreated, they would be pursued by the other party and attacked by air forces. Even if the evacuation was successful, the battle would not be necessary.

They can only maintain contact with the Blue Army front to ensure that the other party has some concerns about firepower and preserve their vitality.

Therefore, a scene that was once very common in the Korean War reappeared in this exercise field. Starting from 3:00 p.m. that day, all the Red Army, without distinction in front and rear, began to engage in civil engineering operations, digging deeper into the trenches and setting up hidden soldiers. The command post was transferred underground, the logistics warehouse and artillery also moved into semi-buried positions.

Countless anti-aircraft guns are lined with guns pointing closely to the sky.

In the evening, the Blue Army's attack aircraft group took off again after replenishing ammunition and maintaining the battlefield.

The tactics they adopted, just like the Red Army, also bypassed the opponent's ground radar network and raided the enemy's rear airports and material transfer centers.

But this time, they went very smoothly.

The maximum range of 3,800 kilometers allows them to circle a larger circle and avoid all possible ground radar detection. The Red Army has no early warning aircraft and cannot apply for satellite support during the exercise. Just like a myopic eye with blurred vision, they can only have a rough judgment on the changes in the battlefield, and they seem to be slow everywhere!

After a long journey of 1,000 kilometers, the Blue Army attacked the fleet and staged a thousand-mile raid.

Twenty air-launched cruise missiles, lowered the rear airport, navigation tower, aircraft staying in the air defense hangar, and material transfer center, turned into a sea of ​​fire!

When the Red Army's ground air defense alarm sounded shrillly and when the raindrop-like anti-aircraft artillery fire vented ammunition into the sky, the Blue Army's planes had already sent a signal of successful combat to the command center and set off on their way home.

The battle was brilliant, so brilliant that Wang Dayuan, the commander of the Red Army and the commander of the 6th Red Division, wanted to cry.

The airport was completely destroyed and the tower command tower was completely destroyed. The airport could no longer be put into use within at least two days; the bomber losses were large and could not be dragged into the air defense hangar due to its large body, and most of them were judged to be eliminated; there were only twenty-three remaining fighter aircraft groups, and they could no longer undertake the task of protecting the airspace. The next time the aircraft was replenished, it would take five days to do so!

Five days, Zheng Yiting didn't even want to leave it to him for a day!

The Blue Army Command had just received the news that the air strike was successful, and a special force took advantage of the night to embark on the journey.

This is a force that has never appeared in the history of the army.

Xiao Qiang named this unit the Digital Test Unit, and this name was also defaulted and has since become a formal organization within the army.

The troops were special teams of the reconnaissance battalion mobilized from the Southwest Military Region, and the leader of the team was Xiao Jianjun.

At that time, there was only one special force in the entire army, that was the special force brigade of the Southern Military Region. The reconnaissance battalion led by Xiao Jianjun actually formed an army earlier than them, but it was not called a special force. As a mountain special force, they were more suitable for this exercise in terms of adaptability. Therefore, after soliciting the exercise command, the Northern Military Region, and the Southwest Military Region, Xiao Jianjun brought his subordinates to the North and joined a war that was not a war.

Night has always been the best protection for our army and is our secret weapon to defeat the enemy.

However, with the advancement of technology, this magic weapon is no longer unique to our army. Its advantages gradually turn into disadvantages when one side stops moving forward.

The video surveillance system, under the control of night and the other party's lights, cannot take pictures, only a piece of darkness.

When the radar has no video to help identify, the effect is no longer obvious. It is impossible to distinguish where the natural landform is, where it is artificially built, where the Red Army stationed troops are stationed, and where the defense line is thin.

But when the infrared signal recognition system is turned on, everything changes.

Radar and infrared rays, two recognition systems, complement each other, and the image on the ground begins to become recognizable again. Although it is still a bit blurry and far less clear than the daytime, it can at least judge the enemy's front line.

Far infrared thermal sensing has clearly identified the main areas where the enemies gather.

Sure enough, the Red Army took advantage of the cover of the night and hoped to launch a night attack, which would make the display more conducive to their defense. Pieces of red light spots gathered towards the frontline!

Zheng Yiting just indicated a few points on the screen. Ten minutes later, the cannons that had been silent for a long time roared again, and the artillery fire filled the Red Army's assembly ground.

Such a war is like a game. This feeling is what Xiao Qiang said many times that he was mentally prepared, but Zheng Yiting still feels deeply moved.

In the future, commanders no longer have to find ways to find valuable information from all the things. Now it is not a problem of too little information, but a lot of information that you can't finish reading!

The battle chief has truly become the main decision-maker of the battle and can devote all his energy to the deployment of troops without being distracted by trivial matters!

The mode of war has completely changed!

Through the information transmission of intermediary satellites, the chief officers of the special infiltration forces carried an LCD information receiver. Through the information receiver, they could clearly see where there were large red spots and where there were few red spots, which were suitable for penetration.

Taking advantage of the gap where the Red Army gathered its troops, the Blue Army's special infiltration forces successfully crossed the front line and entered the opponent's area.

The early warning aircraft in the sky sent messages, and some places with strong air signals were marked by the command center, and it was speculated that it was the other party's ground radar station or command center, asking them to go to these locations.

After a night of running and reconnaissance, they confirmed six real positions, four fake positions, and two swimming air-to-air search radar vehicles.

The command center sent an order asking them to provide accurate coordinate illumination instructions.

Special forces soldiers distributed near various radar stations received this order.

They took out an instrument like a gun, aimed at the specific position of the radar, and turned on the switch.

A red light shook through the darkness and shone on the radar station.

This is a laser indicator, an effective way to provide the most accurate coordinates for cruise missiles. It can guide cruise missiles and accurately attack targets with an error of no more than ten meters!

However, the red light also reminded the opponent that an enemy special forces infiltrated the radar station!

Suddenly, the Red Army soldiers who were furious in the first half of the night and were filled with anger rushed towards the direction of the red light. The empty bag blast emitted red flames, all directions.

One special forces soldier after another suddenly snatched his body as he fought, and then a stream of red smoke came out from the steel helmets above his head, and the guns in his hands were also locked up by the system - they were "dead".

But no one retreated. Even people holding infrared laser illuminator need to be exposed to a more open place and the possibility of being shot is greater. However, whenever a person falls, more special soldiers will pounce on them and pick up the laser illuminator that falls on the ground to provide attack coordinates for the missile!

The special forces, including Xiao Jianjun, who led the team, were killed!

There is only one place for the radar station. As it approaches the Red Army Station, a large number of Red Army soldiers rushed up and wiped out all infiltration special forces, causing the missile to deviate from the attack target and land on the open space a hundred meters away, and it was preserved. The rest were completely destroyed by cruise missiles!

At this point, the Red Army's air defense network was paralyzed and could only rely on ancient visual operations to control anti-aircraft artillery fire and provide limited protection.

At this time, at the Blue Army's front-line airport, a large number of planes took off, with more than 100 aircraft!

These are not fighters, nor bombers, but drone reconnaissance aircraft!

There was no one on the plane, and all of them were electronic listening and reconnaissance equipment!

This is another piece of high-tech equipment that Xiao Qiang prepared.

But this kind of drones were made urgently and were very rough. They have a short range and can only do two hours of cruise reconnaissance; the reconnaissance equipment is not advanced enough and is easily interfered by enemy electronics; the alloy skeleton is equipped with wooden skin, which has a low battlefield survival rate...

Wait, wait, many problems.

However, it is still a drone, the first type of drone in China!

When the Red Army ground radar station still existed, Zheng Yiting did not dare to release these treasures with fragile vitality, but when the early warning aircraft sent a signal and the missiles accurately hit the marked radar signal source, he immediately ordered that all unmanned reconnaissance planes take off!

After all, the monitoring of satellites is long and the functions of optical instruments are limited. They can only distinguish things of one square meter in size, but the drone's airside makes up for this gap!

They entered the hard-working bees, and under the remote control of the command center, they flew at every location they were interested in, inspected each other's specific defense measures, and then formulated a combat plan based on more accurate battlefield analysis...

The Red Army's air defense network was paralyzed and there was no one in the air force. The Blue Army's planes began to appear above the Red Army's head in a swagger.

By the next day, at 11:00 a.m., the Blue Army used a designated cleaning method to blow up the Red Army's frontier command, armory, and front-line material storage center one by one, and destroyed all the floating bridges built by the Red Army on the river!

The Red Army exercise officers and soldiers, all of whom were blocked from this side of the river, were surrounded by the Blue Army.

It's just a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out!
To be continued...
