A few days after the Asia Federation began a large-scale attack on Orillia, Wang Yu and the others finally moved to the "Pan Rock" military base in the northeast corner of Orillia along with a batch of military supplies.
This is the air force base farthest from the front line, and it is currently the only base in Orillia that can guarantee safety.
After the large-scale attack by the Asia Federation, Orillia tried its best to resist, but because its domestic defense system was not fully built, it lost a large amount of territory in the first place.
The Aisian army worked hard and drove the retreating Aurelian army towards the interior of the Orillia Federation.
On the third day after the war, Orillia even lost its capital.
They had to move the Homeland Defense Command to a mountainous city in a corner of the country, and required all Orillia troops to retreat across the board, carry as much supplies as possible, and enter the mountains in the northern part of the country to rely on the terrain to resist the Asia Federation.
But you must know that the mountains in the northern part of Orillia only account for about 10% of the entire territory, so this is equivalent to giving up 90% of the territory. Under normal circumstances, this can already raise a white flag.
, but Aurelia seems to be more courageous. Even so, it still maintains a resolute attitude of resisting Asia. If Asia wants to end the war with Orillia, it must completely eliminate Orillia.
The last resistance is enough.
The Rock Military Base is one of the only remaining air force bases in Orillia.
This is also where the Orillia Air Force headquarters is currently located.
When the squadron led by Wang Yu landed on this base, the first impression they had was "nervous".
In addition to the tensions that were almost as imagined, Wang Yu and the others found that the staff at the base were nervous, which caused the entire base to be shrouded in a pessimistic and tense atmosphere. A large number of people were not sure about winning this game.
There is no hope for the war, and I feel that Orillia has entered a slow death stage in this war, and people seem to be panicking.
There is no way. When the enemy's army is pressing down on the territory and only a small part of the country is still under our control, it is no wonder that they would think so.
In the base, Wang Yu and the others saw some pilots and fighter planes. It seemed that they still had enough air power, but it was obvious that these fighters with various paintings and their pilots were mercenaries, and the Orillia Federation
Wang Yu only saw four or five of the air force-painted fighters...
He asked the reception staff at Orillia and understood the reason for this phenomenon.
In the previous battles, Orillia lost most of its already not very good air force. Although Orillia retained many pilots, the fighter planes used for them could not be replenished, and from the international arms market
However, due to the outbreak of the war, it is difficult to transport the fighter planes into Orillia - most of the supply lines have been occupied by Asia, and Asia's fighter planes are also raging in the air, so Orillia is currently in a situation where it has pilots but no fighters.
Available conditions.
Orillia currently mostly relies on mercenaries to help them stabilize the sky, and they have paid a lot of money for this, but these mercenaries are also reliable and can help Orillia stabilize the sky in a short period of time.
To maintain the air superiority over the last territory - but obviously, this is not a long-term solution. The amount of ammunition for mercenaries is limited. After such a long battle, there is not much ammunition left. Now some hire pilots
It is no longer possible to set up a machine and fly it into the sky.
Although the air transport plane that came with Wang Yu and others provided a batch of supplies to Orillia, it was only a drop in the bucket. Unless the railway lines with neighboring countries were opened, the supply problem would not get any better.
The imperial military observer responsible for Wang Yu's mission said that Orillia is formulating an operation to recapture the supply railway to connect the supply lines between Orillia's last territory and neighboring countries, so that a large number of supplies can be accumulated in the
Supplies on the border have been added to Orillia's currently precarious army.
After arriving at the base, Wang Yu and the others obtained their hangar and pilot quarters.
The conditions are incomparable to those of the Warrior Troops. The hangar is not tightly closed, and the living conditions in the pilot dormitory can only be said to be barely adequate, and the sound insulation is extremely poor. When a fighter plane takes off at the airport, you can still hear it in the dormitory.
to the din.
In short, Orillia gave them a short day to prepare.
So, Polaris, wearing the vest of the "Ghost" squadron, spent the first day at the "Pan Rock" base like this.
Within this day, Wang Yu saw several mercenary fighter planes taking off to meet the enemy, but he found that these fighters were not even loaded with ammunition, and could only maintain air superiority with limited ammunition. This was obviously not a good thing, and the result was also
It couldn't be too good - as expected, when they returned, Wang Yu saw that two of the fighter planes were missing.
All we can say is that if this continues, Orillia will run out of fighter planes sooner or later.
…………
Time comes to the next day.
All the fighters in Wang Yu's squadron have been prepared by the ground crew.
According to the contract signed with Orillia, they will join the battle order of the Orillia Air Force starting today, accept the mission and obey the command.
According to what was known before, the "Ghost" squadron they formed also temporarily became the 28th Fighter Squadron of the 8th Air Division of the Orillia Federal Air Force.
Orillia was in an embarrassing situation with no one available, so when the new blood joined, it alleviated the urgent needs of the Orillia Air Force, so they were assigned tasks the next day after arriving.
Early in the morning, Wang Yu and four others, plus several mercenary pilots who also belonged to the Orillia Air Force's combat order, gathered in the briefing room, waiting for Orillia personnel to assign them today's flight missions. p>
"Your mission today is very simple, air combat patrol."
An Orillia Federation officer said on the stage: "As we all know, our base's supplies are running low, so a small number of transport planes are expected to be dispatched from this airport today to a city under our control on the border.
Transport some supplies that we urgently need. However, the sky is currently controlled by the Asia Federation, so your task is to maintain the security of the airspace from the border to the base, provide close escort, and do your best to protect the airspace once enemy planes come.
It is possible to attract their attention while protecting yourself until the transport aircraft successfully completes the transport mission."
This is exactly the problem currently faced by the Orillia Federation. Its supplies can only be carried out through unreliable air transportation, which is indeed the least efficient means of supply.
However, due to the fact that Asia controls the traffic lines, Orillia has to do this.
Wang Yu and the others immediately understood and readily accepted the current situation.
Although it is said to be an air combat patrol, this must be an actual combat mission, because there is a threat from Asia fighter planes in the sky, so it is very likely that they will directly face the challenge of Asia Air Force in this first mission.
It's really exciting. The air force of another big country must be extraordinary in strength.
For Wang Yu and others, this kind of challenge will not make them timid, but will make them more morale.
In sharp contrast to them are several other mercenaries. Although they can receive a large commission every time they attack, and they can even receive additional bonuses for every one they shoot down, you must know that money must also lead to life.
Look, these people have seen the scene of friendly forces being killed by Asia before, so at this time they all feel that the future is not optimistic.
But none of them have any intention of quitting - mainly because they have signed the contract, and if they break the contract, they will no longer be able to do business.
Seeing that everyone was silent and had no objections, the Aurelia officer nodded.
"Then, I will talk about some more specific mission details..."
But just as he was about to continue the briefing, the red alarm light on the side of the briefing room suddenly flashed at a high frequency, and a harsh alarm sounded in the base at the same time.
"Air raid alert?!"
The Orillia Federation's alarm was slightly different from that of the Imperial Army, but looking at the officer's sudden behavior, Wang Yu and others knew that something was wrong.
The officer's expression suddenly changed.
After a short delay, an orderly stumbled into the briefing room. He handed the officer a walkie-talkie: "A large number of B-52 bombers are approaching from the south!"
"What did you say?!" The officer was shocked: "What other news?!"
"According to the flight path of the enemy aircraft group, they are coming towards our base." The serviceman stuttered slightly but still clearly reported the information he was asked to relay: "So the fighter planes are required to take off immediately and intercept these enemies under the guidance of the ground.
, we cannot let them get close to our base."
The officer immediately took the walkie-talkie, turned around and spoke quickly to the other end of the walkie-talkie.
Then, he turned around with a solemn expression and said quickly: "Our ground radar found that there are currently a large number of enemy B-52 bombers and escort fighters approaching us in the south about seventy nautical miles away from the base. They have been destroyed.
Our frontline observation post, considering that there are basically no targets in Orillia that are worth sending bombers to attack - their attack target must be our base, we cannot let bombs fall on this base, all
Pilots, the original mission plan is cancelled, immediately prepare to take off urgently to meet the enemy and shoot down all bombers flying towards our base!"
He took a slight breath: "Mercenaries, I have to rely on you this time. It's still the same as before. An additional reward of 500,000 for shooting down an escort fighter. An additional reward of 700,000 for shooting down a bomber. How much can you earn?
It depends on how many you can shoot down."
Everyone immediately stood up and prepared to attack.
The enemy aircraft group is currently only 70 nautical miles away from the base. This distance is nothing compared to the flight speed of the aircraft. It can fly over the base in half an hour at most, so it is estimated that all the fighters in the base will take off after the preparations are completed.
At that time, the enemy bombers were probably close to the base.
There is not much time left for the base pilots.
The ground crew team that hired the pilots understood the moment they heard the alarm sound and immediately began to cold start the fighter jets.
But the fastest mover was Wang Yu and his ground crew. By the time Wang Yu and the other four had finished dressing and rushed to the tarmac, the preparation work had been almost completed. The fighter jet had completed a cold start, and the only thing left was for the pilot to get on it and take off. At this time, the tarmac was a chaotic and busy scene.
Various different types of fighter aircraft are undergoing preparation work.
There are people running everywhere, including ground crews, dispatchers, pilots and soldiers.
This base looked like it was facing a formidable enemy. A large number of self-defense air defense equipment was pushed out of the bunker. A large number of unrelated personnel entered the air defense bunker. The sirens of the base, the roar of fighter jets and the noise of various personnel became the scene of this base.
The main theme of the time.
"Get all those fighters off the tarmac!"
"Where are our anti-aircraft missiles? Turn on the radar! We no longer care about the threat of anti-radiation missiles at this time!"
After getting on the fighter plane, closing the canopy, and setting the fighter's communication frequency based on the information provided by the Orillia military, Wang Yu heard the call from the tower.
"All fighter planes took off immediately after preparations were completed. The enemy was already close to a range of fifty nautical miles!"
The controller on the tower hurriedly said on the combat frequency: "We can't let the bomb hit our base, otherwise we will have to be beaten passively!"
At this time, the fighter planes of Wang Yu and the others were ready. Their fighters were loaded with air-to-air missiles. Compared with the other mercenaries who could only take off with only half full loads, Wang Yu and the others seemed
Very proud.
So Wang Yu, as the squadron leader, immediately asked the tower for permission to take off.
"Ghost Squadron, you are the first to take off!"
Sure enough, the tower responded immediately, "After you take off, contact the Eye in the Sky, our early warning aircraft that just took off, and he will give you intelligence support."
"Ghost Squadron has received it and is taxiing to the runway."
After Wang Yu replied, he said in the team channel: "The runway width of this base is not enough, so we can't take off at the same time. In this way, I will take off first, and then you two will take off in formation. After takeoff, you will meet me at an altitude of three."
Kilometers, speed 350 knots, we don’t want to spread out, fight as a squadron, according to the information, there are a lot of enemy planes, at least more than the pilots we sent this time, so be prepared to use less to fight more!" "This is No. 2, got it."
"No. 3, received."
After Luo Yu and Murong Lan both answered, Wang Yu controlled the fighter plane to leave the taxiway and enter the runway.
Liu Lingxin is responsible for preparing the fighter's countermeasures module and communication system, and Irene is responsible for monitoring the various parameters of the fighter.
"Take off as soon as you're ready, we don't have time to waste."
