The Dao Rises One Foot, the Devil Rises Ten!
The war continues! The artillery fire never ceases.
Dawn had passed, and the sunlight began to pierce through the clouds.
Before they knew it, the formal battle between the Dragon Country and the Bear Country had been going on for an hour.
Meanwhile, the Bear Country PAK-DA bombers finally broke through the defense perimeter and successfully reached the Strategic Point at the very center of the Dragon Country army's formation.
The 1,000 bombers split into three groups and all reached a position 5,000 meters above the three major legions of the Dragon Country.
They were just waiting for Guderian's final orders before unleashing their most intense barrage of artillery fire.
"What are you waiting for! Do you think the Dragon Country is stupid?"
"The opportunity is fleeting, drop the bomb now!"
Guderian waved his mechanical arm, looking quite agitated.
Upon receiving the order, the PAK-DA bomber instantly opened its missile launch ports, and countless state-of-the-art guided bombs were released from the tail of the aircraft!
Once these missiles are launched, the Dragon Country Legion will suffer heavy losses.
Guderian stared intently at the Light Screen on his fighter jet.
He wanted to see with his own eyes the scene of the Dragon Country's central command troops being blown to bits.
Boom!
The explosion had already occurred.
But unfortunately...
The explosion did not originate from the Dragon Country army's ranks, but rather from the Bear Country bombers.
In that instant, all the PAK-DA bombers suddenly and mysteriously exploded out of thin air!
The feeling was like a gun accidentally detonating...
All the Russian Bear guided missiles to be launched were detonated directly in the bomb bay of the PAK-DA bomber.
Instead, it blew the bomber's fuselage to smithereens.
High above, the sky was already ablaze with flames.
The sudden chaos startled Guderian, who stumbled and quickly used the remaining detection system of the PAK-DA bomber to view the images of the Dragon Country army overhead.
It was discovered that a group of Dragon Country fighter jets had appeared where the PAK-DA bomber had been hovering.
The fighter jet was pure black and looked very small, less than half the size of the J-20.
They were like a pack of wolves in the wilderness, or a school of piranhas in the deep sea, searching for something around the wreckage of the PAK-DA bomber.
It is clear that the explosion was caused by these small fighter jets.
How is that possible?
"There was nothing there just now, how did so many fighter jets suddenly appear?"
This sudden defeat left Guderian completely bewildered.
At that moment, a notification from the Firmament reached Guderian's ears.
[Firmament Notification: Challengers, your attack on the Dragon Country's central command has been detected and thwarted by the Dragon Country's WZ-8 aircraft! In light of your dirty military actions, the Dragon Country Expeditionary Force will launch its fiercest attack on the Bear Country!]
"WZ-8? What kind of weapon is that?"
Guderian had never heard of this machine type before, and this combat unit had never appeared in the previous the Great Wall Watch Instance.
The sudden appearance of something new made him even more confused.
"Could it be that the Dragon Country... still has a trump card?!"
The Firmament offered no explanation, Guderian naturally couldn't figure out what this so-called "WZ-8" was.
He felt an excruciating headache!
Now that we've reached this critical juncture, it's astonishing that such a new weapon, completely unknown to the Challengers, has appeared.
This is quite deadly.
The WZ-8 is the most powerful unmanned strategic reconnaissance aircraft in Dragon Country, and also the most powerful unmanned reconnaissance equipment on Earth Online.
The sharply swept delta wing and blended wing-body design makes it look like a ghost in the sky.
Compared to the Eagle Sauce Country's reconnaissance drones at Midway Atoll, the WZ-8 is far, far superior.
Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft actually appeared on Earth during the Cold War, but because their routes were relatively fixed, they were easily targeted by ground missile forces, so they were banned worldwide after only a few appearances.
After entering modern society, Dragon Country revived this concept that had been abandoned during the Cold War and gave new life to unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
As a top-tier Reconnaissance Aircraft, the WZ-8 has two significant advantages.
First, it possesses stealth capabilities comparable to the PAK-DA bomber.
Just as Dragon Country's radar system failed to detect the 1,000 PAK-DA bombers of Russian Bear, Bear Country also failed to detect the existence of the WZ-8 aircraft.
In fact, the WZ-8 had always existed in the previous two Instances, but the Challengers just hadn't discovered it.
Like the Type 815A Electronic Reconnaissance Ship, the WZ-8 is also a powerful tool for Dragon Country to monitor the world.
In fact, before Dragon Country officially opened fire on Russian Bear's defense perimeter, a large number of WZ-8 had already infiltrated Russian Bear's defense perimeter.
Unless absolutely necessary, WZ-8 will not take action. The bombing plan by the Bear Country was too dangerous for Dragon Country, which forced WZ-8 to reveal itself.
Another advantage of the WZ-8 is its almost insane flight speed.
The WZ-8's maximum flight speed will exceed Mach 5!!
It's worth noting that the fastest anti-aircraft missile on Earth Online only reaches Mach 2.5, WZ-8's flight speed far exceeds that of anti-aircraft missiles.
This means that even if it is locked onto by an air defense system, as long as it accelerates to its maximum speed, it can still outrun the missile.
Just now, the WZ-8, relying on its supersonic speed, directly collided with the PAK-DA bomber group.
The explosive power of a supersonic aircraft is no less than that of a missile.
That's why these PAK-DA bombers from the Bear Country were inexplicably destroyed!
With this blunder, Guderian was out of options.
Although he was a Nirmaner tactical mastermind, he was also the inventor of Blitzkrieg.
However, in the realm of modern Aerial Warfare, his tactics are completely outdated.
Next, the Bear Country Air Force began to collapse like a house of cards, being routed layer by layer by the Dragon Country fighter jets.
The smoke from the explosion slowly seeped into the interior from the edge of the defensive perimeter.
Just as Guderian was preparing for a tactical retreat, a Thunderbolt Missile struck its fuselage precisely.
His body and the fuselage tragically disintegrated in mid-air.
[Firmament Notification: You have been killed by a Dragon Country missile! Your Instance mission has ended. You will now remain in the Instance as a spectator, awaiting Instance final settlement!]
Guderian became the first of the Three Great Generals to be killed in action.
The Aerospace Forces gradually collapsed, causing Bear Country to lose Air Superiority.
In Modern Warfare, losing Air Superiority would mean certain annihilation for Land Warfare troops!
The defense perimeter of the Three Main Cities was quickly breached by the bombing of the Dragon Country's Air Force!
At this point, the number of Challengers from the Bear Country had unknowingly plummeted to 1.4 million!
