Chapter187 If the situation is poor, then tactics are interspersed; if it is great, then...
After half a month of publicity, the time came to mid-October, and the large-scale operation was launched as scheduled.
The first phase of the operation started immediately after the order to start the operation was issued. The guided missile destroyers parked offshore launched a large number of cruise missiles with set coordinate points. After these missiles rose to high altitude, they flew towards the target at subsonic speed.
The command centers, base stations, radar stations, airport towers, hangars and other important facilities exposed behind the enemy's rear have become the main targets of the imperial missiles. Although they have close defense systems supported by forces outside the mainland, these systems are only a few after all.
The ability to maintain important buildings such as command centers and arsenals was not lost. As for those that were not important enough, they could only be temporarily abandoned. After the missile completed its attack, the facilities behind it could only be described as horrific. Many fighters that could have taken off were
It was blown up directly on the airport, and a large amount of infrastructure was burned to the ground, making it impossible for them to launch a decent counterattack in the first place.
The effectiveness of the missiles is indeed obvious. Except for areas heavily defended by the enemy, most of the targets detected by the empire have been determined to be destroyed. As for those targets that are better hidden and not exposed...
Anyway, there are still follow-up stages, and they can't get over it.
At the same time as the missile attack, Air Force fighter planes also took off from several military bases, divided into several attack waves. Accompanied by escort aircraft and assisted by electronic jamming fighters, they carried out anti-radiation operations and bombing missions in an orderly and simultaneous manner.
.
Dense anti-radiation missiles landed on top of the enemy's hastily powered-up anti-aircraft missiles, easily paralyzing the enemy's air defense radar. The air defense positions that were not attacked had to turn off their radars and move around, forming an air defense vacuum in a short period of time.
area, and with the missile attacks on airport facilities behind enemy lines, air supremacy has basically been ensured by the empire. Even a small number of interceptor fighters taking off from the enemy's hidden bases are no match for the escort aircraft due to their poor intelligence.<
/p>
The graphite bombs dropped by the fighter-bombers that followed made the enemy's situation even worse. After some base stations and signal facilities were destroyed by the missiles, the graphite bombs directly targeted the enemy's power plants, substations, etc. These specialized
The bombs used to attack the power grid were indeed of high quality and low price. After completing the attack, they directly paralyzed more than 80% of the enemy's power supply system. Several city-states and surrounding satellite cities were completely cut off, and most of the equipment that relied on electricity was completely lost.
played a role.
It can be said that the Empire's joint missile-fighter attack directly destroyed the enemy's communication and enemy tracking capabilities. Now the enemy's rear areas are unable to contact the frontline troops due to various reasons such as electronic interference, power outages, and base station destruction.
Even if there are orders, they cannot be sent out; and the troops on the front line cannot communicate with the rear, intelligence cannot be sent back, and information cannot be obtained accurately. All the enemy's troops have entered a state of fighting independently.
The main force of this city-state has become like this, and the so-called separatist organizations are even more miserable.
Several separatist organizations are relatively large in scale and have their own bases and training grounds. However, they do not have the defense systems and anti-aircraft missiles of city-states. As a result, they were caught off guard by the first wave of missile attacks, and a large number of military personnel were killed on the spot.
At the training ground and station, and the rest finally gathered together, the second wave of long-range dispersers from fighter planes flew overhead, releasing a large number of bomblets, turning the entire area into a sea of fire. Some small-scale separatist organizations that were not included in the first wave of attacks also did not notice the situation in time due to interference, so they missed the precious opportunity to escape, but that was all in the subsequent attack stage.
Attacking the enemy's logistics can maximize the enemy's chaos without fighting, and the empire is naturally happy to do so.
Of course, in addition to these methods of attacking the enemy's logistics, the army artillery at the border of the imperial-controlled area also began to simultaneously dump firepower at possible enemy garrison locations, ordnance warehouses, and military facilities close to the border, using large amounts of 155mm artillery shells and rockets.
The bombs landed on several enemy military installations, and the rumble of artillery and the roar of explosions could be heard from far away.
Within half an hour after the operation began, the enemy's military facilities suffered a devastating blow.
During this period of imperial preparations, the checkpoints, roadblocks, positions, etc. temporarily built on the border by the enemy were covered with indiscriminate firepower. The troops that had been assembled and waiting to welcome the imperial attack were shrouded in artillery fire from the sky before they could move out.
——Although the enemy speculated that the empire would be covered by firepower when it started to take action, so all the troops were dispersed, but they did not expect that the empire's firepower density was too strong, so a large number of active troops were lost during this firepower preparation stage.
Although there are still some organic units on the enemy's front line that were not hit in the first round of fire coverage, it is not easy for them to form a threatening combat effectiveness under the condition of poor communication.
In short, in this fire preparation process, except for not using mass destruction methods such as carpet bombing to avoid accidentally injuring civilians, the empire can be said to have used all the gadgets in the arsenal...
p>
During the fire preparation stage, Polaris did not receive any attack orders. They were assigned the task of escorting electronic jamming fighters. Together with several other fighters, they provided escort for several electronic jamming fighters.
So while the fight on the front line was busy, anti-radiation, air supremacy, and bombing, Polaris, as the strongest air force squadron in the southern theater, was chatting with the crew members of the electronic jammer...
…
Other fighter pilots who were also escorting the electronic jammers expressed their delight.
But if you think about it carefully, the Polaris Squadron is not required for anti-radiation, bombing and other tasks. The Southern Theater Command's arrangement for the Polaris Squadron in this combat operation seems to be like a special forces force, doing some weird things.
Weird life...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After the mission of escorting the electronic jamming fighters was completed, three Polaris fighters were dispatched to a route to conduct an air combat patrol mission. Originally, Wang Yu thought that this patrol might encounter enemy planes, which would make their
The results of the battle were further improved, but unexpectedly, the enemy planes were not seen, but the friendly forces who returned to the base after completing their missions from the front were seen a lot...
While bragging about their today's results on the public channel, such as what radar station they destroyed, what plane they shot down, what positions they blew up, etc., they looked curiously at the Polaris trio flying straight at high altitude.
Group.
Until a pilot couldn't help but ask about Polaris on the channel.
"You are so strong, you must have shot down a lot of enemy planes today!"
Looking at these friendly forces returning with the smell of gunpowder smoke, Wang Yu finally gave up the dangerous idea of shooting down friendly forces to continue the feeling.
After the short combat air patrol mission, the Polaris Squadron was allowed to return to the base.
Therefore, in this first stage of the attack, Polaris didn't see any enemies...
However, their ground handling team is very satisfied with the result.
Although the fully loaded ammunition on the fighter plane has to be dismantled by them, which is indeed a troublesome thing, the ground staff think that as long as the fighter plane has not been pulling high G for a long time, or the fighter plane is missing some parts, or the fighter plane has been turned on for a long time.
They are all very happy because it means they can get off work on time again today.
In short, the first phase of the operation has been carried out smoothly. However, according to the empire's plan, although the large-scale fire attack will stop, precise bombing will still continue for one day, mainly to remove some enemy positions that were not covered before.
, or just to attack some targets in the city - after all, the empire only wants to clear out hostile forces, not to kill civilians on a large scale, so the enemy builds radar stations in the city. You can't just find a Tu-95 over there, right?
……
You can only use small-yield JDAM or GBU bombs to carry out precise point-to-point strikes, trying to blow up only the target.
To put it simply, the official attack will begin on the third day.
