39: Ushering in a new era
"Put down your guns, those really seem to be enemy planes!"
Taleb stared at the exploding fireball in the sky, his heart already clear.
The soldiers also put down their weapons one after another, after all, the scene in the sky did not look like a natural phenomenon no matter how you looked at it.
What's more, where are there meteors with a flight speed of two Mach?
"Enemy planes are really attacking, quick! Immediately notify the Command Center!" Taleb shouted anxiously, this was a major event concerning the safety of the country.
Also shocked was Lieutenant Colonel Majid, who was on his way.
He also witnessed the fierce battle in the sky just now.
"Ah... this..."
He was so astonished that he couldn't speak, only covering his mouth and making indistinct sounds. In extreme fear, he was even a little incoherent.
Recalling yesterday's experience, he felt a sense of escaping death.
His Soviet-made weapons, which he was so proud of, seemed so vulnerable in the face of today's advanced equipment.
If it weren't for the Rabbit Country's air defense radar detecting the enemy planes in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Damn it!" Lieutenant Colonel Majid regained his composure, hammered his legs which were still a little weak, and hurried towards the Command and Control Vehicle.
The air raid had already begun, and it was too late to return to the Command Center now.
He had to get to the Command Vehicle as soon as possible and issue orders through the communication system on the vehicle to ensure the safety of the Air Defense Command Center.
This was the strategic rear of Irako, and if even here was attacked by enemy planes, then the situation in the Capital, Baghdad, was simply unimaginable.
But now he had no time to care about anything else, everything would be discussed after he reached the Command Vehicle.
"Not good, new enemy planes have been detected, there are a total of five!"
The soldier Taleb stared at the five new targets that suddenly appeared on the screen and reported to the Command Center in a panic.
However, Lieutenant Colonel Majid was not present, and without his military password, the soldiers dared not issue interception orders without authorization.
The other radar screens were still blank and unresponsive.
The soldiers sitting in the Command Center began to feel panicked and confused, they even began to wonder if they were also going crazy with The Rabbits.
And the airplane icons on the radar screen were rapidly approaching.
"There is no time to lose, we must intercept immediately, otherwise it will be too late!" Xu Ning was burning with anxiety and had no time to think about anything else. Although the BH90 Medium-Range Air Defense Blast System is powerful for long-range strikes, it is not its strong point for dealing with close-range targets.
He resolutely issued the order for the blast system to launch again, and this time no one stopped him. The soldiers felt that Xu Ning had lost control, after all, that was a whole fighter group!
Without the full support of the Air Defense Command Center, how could it be possible to wipe them out with just the armament of this blast system vehicle? This was simply a crazy act.
Shooting down one might rely on luck, but facing five stealth fighters, despair spread in everyone's hearts.
Some soldiers were already fumbling for cigarettes from their pockets with trembling hands, disregarding military discipline and smoking in the Command Vehicle, as if this would be their last cigarette in this life.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The deafening roar sounded again outside, that was the sound of the blast system breaking through the sky. Fine beads of sweat also seeped out of Xu Ning's forehead.
He was not as afraid of the fighter group as the soldiers were. With the precise guidance of the radar, he was confident in shooting down any invading enemy. But the number of blast systems carried this time was limited, and he had sent out all of them. If the enemy planes increased again, he would have difficulty coping.
On the radar screen, the five stealth fighters had obviously sensed the threat of the blast system and began to scatter and escape, and quickly released jamming flares to confuse the blast system.
However, Xu Ning firmly locked onto them with the phased array radar, and the blast system, guided precisely, fearlessly pursued them without being affected by the jamming.
Everyone couldn't help but look up, and through the observation window, they saw that above the sky, the trajectories of the starlight and the blast system were intertwined into a breathtaking picture.
Inside the Command and Control Vehicle, there was dead silence, as if time had stopped at this moment. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the result of the decisive battle.
"Creak," the door of the Command and Control Vehicle was suddenly pushed open, and Lieutenant Colonel Majid stood at the door, gasping for breath.
"Just... just now..." Before he finished speaking, several brilliant fire trees and silver flowers suddenly bloomed in the sky, like a grand fireworks display.
A more dazzling light streaked across the sky, reflecting on everyone's faces. Xu Ning quickly glanced at the radar screen, only to see that the signals representing the four stealth fighters gradually disappeared, with only one escaping by chance.
"Damn Eagle Country! We won!" The soldiers witnessed this scene and couldn't help but cheer and hug each other in celebration. And Lieutenant Colonel Majid was still standing at the door, panting heavily, staring dumbfounded at the magnificent scene in the sky.
The Rabbit Country's air defense blast system actually wiped out the Eagle Country's stealth fighter group.
If not witnessed, who could believe this moment that rewrote history? This was simply the dawn of a new era!
However, while everyone was cheering, several new signal points suddenly emerged from the positions of the shot-down bombers, and they rushed towards the Air Defense Command Center at an alarming speed.
Those were the precision-guided blast systems launched by the hit stealth fighters in their death throes, as if carrying the flames of revenge.
"Oh my god! Blast systems are coming!" Xu Ning could no longer remain calm. You know, he had just used all the air defense blast systems to intercept the fighters.
At this moment, the [BH90 Medium-Range Air Defense Blast System] was already powerless to turn the tide.
"Damn it, those bastards actually launched precision-guided blast systems." The soldiers' moods fluctuated wildly, they thought they had escaped death, but they didn't expect death to still catch up.
Just then, Lieutenant Colonel Majid had walked to the console at some point, grabbed the communicator, and his appearance and the subsequent outburst shocked everyone present.
"Air Defense Command Center, Lieutenant Colonel Majid is here! I order you to immediately transfer all control of the anti-aircraft artillery and air defense blast systems to this Command Vehicle of The Rabbits!"
"Execute immediately, don't delay!"
"Don't talk to me about military passwords, transfer it immediately, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"I'll give you ten seconds, otherwise you know the consequences!"
At the other end of the Air Defense Command Center, they were so startled by this sudden order that they didn't even have time to respond and immediately began operating.
Five seconds later, Xu Ning was surprised to find that he could already control the surrounding air defense weapons, whether it was close-in artillery or medium-range blast systems, they all obeyed his command.
He did not hesitate and immediately began to operate.
At this time, those few blast systems had flown over the Afair city like death reapers, heading straight for the Air Defense Command Center.
"Bang!" Xu Ning quickly entered all the commands and then heavily pressed the execute button.
All the close-in defense guns instantly activated, emitting a deafening roar.
The artillery fire was like a dragon, and the dense barrage wove a watertight net in the air, firmly trapping the few howling blast systems.
