Chapter 1078 Battle Damage and Reinforcement
The air battle was short and tragic, and each of them left contact after suffering certain casualties.
The Republic's Air Force suffered the biggest losses since the war began: 31 fighter jets were shot down, including two new J50s with a broken rear cover.
No one survived the 31 pilots, even if they successfully parachuted, it was useless. The mid- and low altitudes were all natural disaster air force, and they would be hit by self-destructive blood bats before they landed.
Fortunately, as a new soldier who has not undergone actual combat inspection, the stability of the new gargoyle is not enough.
The thruster will easily explode after a long burst of force. After dozens of new gargoyles are damaged during pursuit, the natural disaster has to stop chasing.
Tactically, the new gargoyle lost more than 400 heads, more than ten times that of human fighter jets. The self-destructed blood bat also lost more than 20,000. The natural disaster was not actually advantageous when it came to combat damage.
But in terms of strategy, the Scourge is making money. The emergence of the new gargoyles broke the suppression of humans in the high-rise airspace. In terms of combat losses, the important thing is not to capture a few fighter jets, but to kill 31 pilots.
The undead's best skills are to exchange war damage. The undead are not afraid of death or fatigue. If all the soldiers are dead, they can be rebuilt.
If humans don’t do it, the most elite group of combat heroes are non-renewable resources. The remaining people are those who have not become combat heroes at the beginning, and they are just cannon fodder when summoned. It would be great if one out of ten can survive in battle, and their development potential is incomparable.
In the past twenty years, before a new generation grows up, it will be difficult for humans to replenish combat heroes.
The strategic goal of the Scourge Legion is to try to kill humans as much as possible. When the backbone completely destroys the entire human army, it will collapse.
In the war with the Scourge, the principle of the Republic is to try to avoid deaths and use renewable materials and energy to consume the undead, while the combatants accumulate experience and improve their strength, so that they can become stronger and stronger as they fight.
Of course, this is the wishful thinking of both sides. What is the final result? It depends on the game between both sides.
———
The air battle was over, and the focus of the natural disaster air strikes was turned to the ground material reserve center again.
At this time, the gate of the base built with a whole piece of rock had been broken, but the Tianshao Air Force could not drive straight in.
The engineers built another defense line of more than three meters thick inside.
Major General Tian Tingfeng, commander of the Engineering Corps, personally led more than ten high-level engineering heroes to cast spells and strengthen the stone wall.
Behind them, the third, fourth, fifth and six lines of defense were under emergency repair. One meter cubic cube dug out of the mountain and the armored steel plate quickly stuck together under the action of military special adhesives. Three layers of rocks and two layers of steel plates form a line of defense.
The psychic runes engraved in advance on the armored steel plate can be activated as long as energy is injected into it, greatly improving the defense ability.
In fact, such temporary stone walls do not meet the military standards at all. They can easily be destroyed under the impact of heavy units such as hatred. But this time the only one who came to the Scourge Air Force, the only heavy unit, the Frost Dragon, was too big to drill into the cave.
This gives engineers room to operate. As long as they pile up thick enough, they rely on corrosive attacks to pile up with the number of self-destructive blood bats.
"The spiritual pattern can't stand it anymore! Retreat to the latter line of defense!"
Under Tian Tingfeng's order and the break-off, the heroes of the Engineering Department retreated to the back of the third line of defense along the reserved passage.
Bang! The powerful engineering mecha pushed two stones slightly smaller than the standard cubic cube into the evacuation passage. Two engineers stepped forward to fill the gap with gel, then evacuation, and then plugged steel plates into stones. The evacuation passage two meters high and one meter wide was blocked in one minute.
At this time, the stone wall that had lost its maintenance collapsed in front of him. More than a dozen self-destructive blood bats rushed through the ruins of the stone wall, and ran into the third line of defense without any brains.
Under the obstruction of the psychic light, the dirty blood and corrupt poison will be bounced away if it fails to touch the stone wall. Only a round of saturation attack can destroy the psychic shield and damage the stone wall inside, otherwise it will be a gift.
"Replenish energy and repair shields." The base is full of manpower, and Tian Tingfeng does not need to take action personally to maintain the third stone wall. "The fourth line of defense, install a psychic crystal charger! I don't believe that there will be no brainless bats! At that time, we will compete with the Air Force, who will kill more self-destructive blood bats. If you win, I will apply for military medals for you!"
"Okay!" The engineers were full of energy. As non-combat professions, the engineers made a lot of contributions, but they lacked direct military merits.
This time, countless self-exploding blood bats hit the fortifications, and no one competed for military merit with them. The way of building walls has been proven to be effective. It is easier to obtain military merits safely, so naturally everyone is willing to work hard.
At this time, the natural disaster's self-destructive blood bats lost more than 20,000 due to the attack of the human air force, nearly 20,000 under the anti-aircraft firepower, and nearly 30,000 in the strong attack material base. The number of blood bats that raided this time has been lost by half.
Even if the cost of self-exploding blood bats is low, the loss of more than 70,000 yuan is not small.
Prince Taradam, commander-in-chief of the Scattered Air Force, was seriously injured and lost his command ability. None of the remaining Sarein leaders had enough authority. The Scattered Scattered also imitated human communicators and established its own remote command communication network, but in the human territory, there were no large ground base stations, and only internal small-scale communication was allowed.
Some of the commanders of Salein advocated strengthening the offensive and breaking the material base as soon as possible; some advocated asking Prince Varana's commando to assist; some proposed to retreat first to preserve their strength. They were noisy and could not reach an agreement at all.
The light of the stars illuminates from a distance, and according to the trajectory, they are all slower aircraft.
"Ha, humans don't know that their air force has been repelled. Wouldn't the transport fleet come over and die?" Earl Sadoma said with a strange smile, "Main force of Blood Bat, come with me to destroy these people!"
"Idiots, don't you know the communication methods of human beings? They must have received the news, but they still dare to swagger and kill, so they must rely on it! It's more important to attack the material base first." said Marquis Isina.
"Can you beat it down? The layers of stone walls inside are now built. The ice dragon cannot fly in, and the self-destructing blood bats cannot keep up with the speed of human construction just by relying on self-destruction."
"So we have to have ground troops to cooperate."
The final argument was Prince Varana. "You go and intercept the human reinforcements and hand them over to me!"
After unified understanding, the Scourge Air Force immediately gathered to set up a formation, intending to swallow up the human reinforcements in one go.
The new gargoyles equipped with thrusters are cruising at high altitudes to prevent human high-altitude fighter jets from returning. As long as the J50 is not equipped with a medium-range air combat bullet, the new gargoyles can hold up this latest human fighter jet in melee battles.
Seventy or eighty thousand self-destructive blood bats were woven into four assault clusters. The first cluster on the front attracted firepower, and the assault cluster on the left and right wings disrupted the enemy's camp.
According to previous combat experience, the human floating fleet is not very mobile, but has more fierce defensive firepower than fighter jets.
After these three clusters break through the defensive firepower, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses and it is difficult to cause damage to the thick-skinned floating ships.
Their mission is to cover the gargoyles and ice dragons to fight the human fleet at close range.
After dragging into the battle between them, the last self-destructing blood bat cluster will attack and complete the final kill.
Chapter completed!
