At 4:05 am the next day, Li Jiulong received news from Pontiac City. A large number of troops had left the city overnight from the military base. The scale was very large, and even dozens of tanks were found.
It should be known that the total number of tanks in the entire Thousand Island Country's army did not exceed 300. However, their tank unit had actually appeared here. It was obvious that they were serious.
The tank that the Thousand Islands Country's army was equipped with was the AMX13 light tank. It was a light tank that served in Gaul in the 1950s. It weighed 15 tons and was equipped with a 90mm caliber tank cannon. It was still a threat to the Bulldogs.
This made Li Jiulong depressed. The tank factory had only unlocked such a light tank. Not to mention the main battle tank, even the self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers had not been unlocked.
There was only half a month left before the upgrade of the intermediate technology. By then, after unlocking a lot of equipment, the strength of the Red Alert Corps would definitely be able to reach a new level.
The various types of helicopters had been unlocked first, but he did not have enough manpower at the moment. He did not have much equipment at all. At the moment, he only had two double-edged assault helicopters.
The double-edged armed helicopter came from the Red Alert 3 Su Xiu camp. It was a heavy-duty armed helicopter equipped with two 1800-horsepower turbine shaft engines. The maximum take-off weight was 10.5 tons, the maximum flight speed was 370 kilometers per hour, and the maximum flight distance was 2000 kilometers.
With four external points, there were many weapons to choose from, such as seven 70mm rocket launchers or four anti-tank missile launchers. There was also a 30mm cannon below the nose.
Moreover, it was equipped with a helmet display and a helmet tracking system. It was very convenient to point at any weapon that the eyes could see. Moreover, it could also be used to track enemies.
This assault helicopter was very much to Li Jiulong's liking. In many aspects, it was no worse than the Apaches of the Bald Eagle Army. In the current war, helicopters could be said to be a very important part.
This time, Li Jiulong planned to send out the only two double-edged assault helicopters he had equipped to see how powerful their combat performance was. After all, they were facing the army of the Qiandao Country, so it shouldn't be too dangerous.
Currently, the Bald Eagle Army's Stinger missiles were not equipped with the Bald Eagle Army. The Stinger was only mass-produced in 1983. However, they were equipped with the Red-Eye portable air defense missile. This was the first generation of individual air defense missiles, mainly based on infrared guidance.
However, it was not easy to hit the helicopter. It was not easy to hit the helicopter with a missile.
Facing the incoming Thousand Island Country's army, Han Fei had already ordered his troops to get ready. At the same time, the 1st Armored Brigade had already set up an ambush nearby, ready to attack at any time.
What he was most concerned about were the fighter jets of the Qiandao Country's air force. No matter how bad the fighter jets were, they could still pose a great threat to them.
Now that they had already begun their attack on Xin Bang Town, how could the Air Force, which had suffered such a huge loss, not move out?
So this time, they sent a small team of four F-5 fighter jets, 12 F-86 fighter jets, and eight A-4 Skyhawk attack planes. This was the number of fighter jets they could send out at the moment.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sun began to shine on the ground. Fighters began to take off from the military airport. They had mobilized such a large force today, and their target was the hateful rebel army.
Not long after they were deployed, the Red Alert Corps 'air defense radar had already detected their presence. Because their fighter jets had limited range, they were deployed at the airport closer to the battlefield.
The detection range of this vehicle air defense radar reached 600 kilometers, so they were detected not long after they took off.
The air defense company was guiding the Red Alert Air Force fighter jets and acting as a ground early warning aircraft. There was nothing they could do about it. The early warning aircraft was in the Air Force Command, but it was not unlocked.
However, the Intruder fighter jet was equipped with a pulsed radar tank that was not too close. It could detect up to 180 kilometers and also carried active radar long-range air-to-air missiles. Even without radar guidance, it could still take on air defense missions.
Moreover, although the Thousand Island Country's Air Force had sent four F-5 fighter jets, they were not carrying air-to-air missiles. They were carrying ground-attack ammunition because they did not know that Li Jiulong also had air force fighters.
When the Thousand Island Country's Air Force took off, the Red Alert Air Force also began to move. The intruder fighter jets had already been filled with fuel and missiles. This time, they carried a total of four ATAM-21 long-range air-to-air missiles and two ATAM-1 short-range air-to-air missiles.
This type of missile was known as the after-action air-to-air missile in later generations. Currently, only a few countries were equipped with after-action missiles.
