My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1170 - 1077: Inhumane! Devastating Strike!_2
It employed rapid-joined automatic initial guidance and intermittent-radiation semi-active homing for its terminal guidance.
A single radar could simultaneously command and guide four missiles to strike one target, with astonishingly lethal efficiency.
Especially since the person controlling this missile system was also well-versed in guerrilla tactics.
Deliberately waiting for Baldet’s urban area to be bombed, deliberately waiting for the combat aircraft to penetrate deep, then suddenly powering up, locking on quickly, and retreating immediately after the strike.
Relying on such guerrilla tactics, they actually managed to take down two Star Federation combat aircraft.
Giving much relief to the defensive operations on Gold Coin’s side.
It’s just a pity...
In order to retake those three nuclear warheads, they truly spared no expense.
Even if the combat aircraft were shot down, even if Baldet’s urban area was thrown into chaos, they still pressed on with the assault relentlessly.
They still kept sending combat aircraft, bombing Gold Coin indiscriminately.
If bombing from the air with bunker-buster missiles wasn’t an option, they would resort to conventional guided missiles, cruise missiles, etc.
No cost was too high, it seemed they were determined to blast open Gold Coin at any expense.
...
Around 8 o’clock local time.
Many people unaware of the reasons for the start of the war or what it was about, the Battle of Baldet was intensifying.
Inside the city, tens of thousands of armed locals were besieging the Marine Corps.
Outside the city near Gold Coin, the Marine Corps, coordinating with aerial attacks, bombarded relentlessly, without pause.
No one could have expected...
Suddenly.
A whooshing sound.
The noise was profoundly dull, unlike thunder, but the night sky was completely lit up.
The darkness turned into daylight, incredibly bright, as if countless flares were set off simultaneously, lighting up the skies of Baldet.
Even more incredibly, it was accompanied by something resembling lightning.
Amidst the blinding white light, it seemed as if numerous streaks of lightning were striking down from the sky.
In an instant.
Everyone could clearly feel a wave of oppressive heat sweep over them.
This sensation was like stepping from an air-conditioned room into the scorching heat of the sun, a blast of hot air hitting you in the face.
What kind of weapon was this?
Capable of illuminating the night sky? Releasing countless currents? Making the air itself turn scorching hot?
The black militants wielding AK assault rifles and carrying RPG launchers suddenly found the cell phones in their pockets unbelievably hot, searing as if they were heated red.
Regardless of how much they loved to play with them, they now threw them away in haste because they were just too darn hot and even started to emit smoke.
Although Baldet was poor and chaotic, with few household appliances in people’s homes.
While there were no LCD TVs or computers, there were still many small electronic devices like radios, MP3/4 players, and flashlights that could be bought cheaply and in abundance.
All of a sudden, they were like hit by a high-voltage electric shock, all smoking and rendered useless.
Their plight was still not as bad as the highly digitalized and information-based Marine Corps and the Air Force.
In the heat of the battle, the radios suddenly short-circuited and began to smoke, while individual tactical communication devices were instantly out of service.
All electronic instruments and equipment for radar, communication, and command were done for.
The combat aircraft engaged in ground bombardment, and drones on aerial reconnaissance missions faced damaged electronics and smoking avionics systems, rendering them unusable.
Accompanied by the wailing siren, unmanned drones, helicopters, and combat aircraft, each worth millions or even tens of millions of Gold Coins, fell like kites with their strings cut, crashing thunderously to the ground.
Flames shot up into the sky with repeated explosions.
The battle near Gold Coin ceased abruptly.
The Marine Corps’ ground armored forces simply couldn’t penetrate the well-defended, heavily armed vault at Gold Coin.
They had been relying entirely on guided aerial bombardments and forcibly smashing with missiles.
This sudden ’flash of daylight’ not only destroyed all the instruments and equipment of the tanks and armored vehicles but also rendered devices like laser designators and navigation locators useless.
What’s even more tragic is that with the fighter jets crashing uncontrollably and the missiles malfunctioning and flying erratically, the conquest of the gold vault, which was almost within reach after a relentless bombardment, is now utterly hopeless.
The more precise and automated the equipment is, the more bizarre and heartrending the tragedy becomes.
However, the guards hidden inside the vault took this chance to open fire repeatedly with their guns and cannons.
The purely mechanical guns and cannons were unaffected and could still thrash the marine corps mercilessly.
A barrage of shells rained down relentlessly.
Forcing the bewildered soldiers to retreat involuntarily.
With armored vehicles out of order and unable to move, and turrets inoperative, how could the battle continue?
Hide inside the vehicles?
That would be simply courting death; the enemy’s counterfire was specifically targeting armored vehicles.
An assault battle, thus, suddenly changed dramatically.
Because all communication devices were destroyed, the various units involved in the battle were practically thrown back into a primitive society.
Communications were by shouting, and mobility relied on walking.
What to do next, whether to attack or retreat, where aerial support is, and whether this war is still worth fighting...
No one knows.
Radios, satellite locators, satellite communication devices, etc., all were broken. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Unable to communicate with superiors, they could only switch to defensive positions while trying to repair communication devices to restore communications.
Therefore, they did not know that over three hundred kilometers away, outside the seaport of Seleck.
Believing that Nabiya posed no threat and was utterly incapable of harming the naval carrier battle group.
And to deploy carrier-based combat aircraft more rapidly, to shorten the distance for fire support.
This military strike operation saw a nuclear-powered carrier battle group unusually enter the near sea.
A mere forty kilometers in a straight line from the Seleck port.
The advantage of doing so meant that the carrier-based aircraft could be catapulted off more quickly to fly to Baldet for ground support and bomb the vault, as the flight distance was sufficiently short.
But then...
When the night sky lit up, when the air turned scorching hot, when the sea surface steamed from the intense heat...
Disaster struck!
The just-launched carrier-based combat attack aircraft, carrying precision-guided munitions, were supposed to provide support.
But suddenly a short circuit ignited a fire in the cockpit, belching acrid smoke.
The pilot had no time to eject, and the combat attack aircraft, having lost stability, quickly smashed into the ocean, sending up splashes more than ten meters high.
And for those awaiting to land, the tragedy was the same, with no chance of survival.
The carrier-based aircraft pilots, who took so much time and money to train, along with combat attack aircraft worth tens of millions, both plunged into the sea.
In comparison, the aircraft parked on the flight deck and in the hangars only suffered equipment failures and damage, without causing pilot casualties.
But within the battle group, the nuclear-powered carriers, missile destroyers, and fast supply ships.
These sea-faring Giant Beasts, which each cost several hundred million or even billions of Gold Coin, and which were equipped with formidable armaments and respectable electronic countermeasures and self-shielding capabilities.
At that instant, whether it was the phased array radar, the communication command system, electronic warfare, active and passive sonar... even the microwaves and rice cookers used for cooking on the ships.
No discrimination!
Total coverage!
Any equipment related to electronics was struck a devastating blow.
The white light faded, and night returned.
The Star Federation’s troops participating in the Baldet operation and the naval carrier battle group at sea suffered incalculable and severe damages.
No one knew who the perpetrator was.
The high-ranking officials and generals of the Star Federation were collectively dumbfounded.
Could it be that the aliens who once plagued the Carson Naval Carrier Battle Group had returned?
