Around 3:20 in the afternoon, the Ghost Squadron ended their first sortie mission and began to return to the "Rock" base.
"Ghost Squadron, check the landing gear landing lights, the runway has been cleared, landing is allowed, the ground wind is level 4."
The weather at this time was still snowing, and the visibility was not very good. However, the base and the surrounding mountains were covered with snow, which made the black runway look very conspicuous, so the landing could be completed relying on visual conditions.
The three fighter planes of the Ghost Squadron turned on their dazzling landing lights and approached the base along the most standard glide path.
Under the watchful eye of the base staff, the three fighter planes landed briskly on the runway.
This first attack can be considered the end, and Wang Yu can also feel that they have gained a lot from this attack.
Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on the rewards brought by the number of kills, nor the slightly improved combat skills.
The main reason is the change in how they are treated.
Simply put, no one will look down upon them because of their mercenary status.
Orillia itself hired pilots only as an emergency measure. In the beginning, the mercenary pilots did not play a key role. Although it caused some trouble for Asia's attack, the tactics
Victory cannot save the strategic defeat, and the future of Orillia is still not optimistic.
Therefore, Orillia's concept of mercenaries has always been that "it's okay to fight against the wind, but it can only delay the fight against the wind." She doesn't think that mercenaries can play the ultimate role in their war with Asia.
plays an important role.
But now the emergence of Ghost Squadron has slightly changed this idea.
As mentioned before, this was originally a very serious attack, and the base was already prepared to suffer bombing losses, but unexpectedly the Ghost Squadron took to the skies, and the enemy planes were knocked down one after another with almost no resistance.
Come down...
The so-called "when talking and laughing, the boats and oars are turned into ashes" is probably nothing more than that.
Comparing the hard battles of other mercenary pilots, anyone with a discerning eye will know the strength of the Ghost Squadron.
So it can be said that the successful attack of the Ghost Squadron has indeed brought hope to some Aurelia people.
Of course, it is just a victory in the battle now, so for the Orillians, the powerful threat of Asia is still pressing on them, so the so-called hope is currently only a weak candlelight, which can only illuminate a small part of the area. p>
What will happen next? Whether this weak fire can start a prairie fire depends on Orillia's combat arrangements and the subsequent performance of the Ghost Squadron.
Of course, in addition to the change in Orillia's attitude, the attitudes of other mercenaries have also changed slightly.
This group of mercenary pilots from all over the world are very good at fighting against the wind. After the enemy planes began to retreat, they pursued the enemy fiercely, successfully completed the mission and returned to the base.
Of course, this is not the main thing. The main thing is that during the mission report, when the other mercenary pilots looked at the members of the Ghost Squadron, their expressions were different - if it was based on the "everyone makes money" among peers before, so
The sentiment of "we should help each other and achieve win-win results" has now turned into the admiration of "I always feel like a bunch of fish fryers came in from the Fish Pond Bureau" and the admiration of "Are you a mercenary too? Are you really not here to destroy our jobs?!"
This complex emotion mixed with doubt.
To put it simply, mercenary pilots think this is the strength of E&P Security Company?
If the pilots they train are such monsters, then other security companies should simply stop operating.
There is also this kind of security company, which is really good. I only saw it after the battle, and I immediately jumped to this company.
That’s pretty much it.
In short, these mercenary pilots and Orillia's official air force pilots were amazed by the cooperation, decision-making and some tricks of Wang Yu and his group in the first battle.
To exaggerate a bit, they even felt that they could learn something from the cooperation of these four people.
Of course, Wang Yu and the others are very modest. They do not think that they are invincible. In their eyes, their squadron still needs training. The cooperation between the three fighters can actually be more proficient.<
/p>
To put it simply, they have very high demands on themselves, and mere praise from others cannot satisfy them.
They hope to get more actual combat to better improve themselves.
In short, after this emergency take-off battle, the Orillia Federation Air Force defeated Asia's attempt to bomb the "Rock" base to completely defeat their combat plan, causing considerable damage to the enemy's air power that cannot be ignored.
Asia's side is bound to suspend the pace of the attack because of this first bombing and to evaluate Orillia's military strength.
At least for a period of time, they will weigh Orillia's ability to resist and will not easily send bombers to bomb the base. They may return to their previous air superiority plan.
The general meaning is to cut off all the supply lines from the remaining territory of Orillia to the outside world, and then continuously harass the remaining troops of Orillia until the latter run out of supplies and have to give up resistance.
Anyway, Asia's size is there, and if the war continues, it can further mobilize domestic enthusiasm.
Aurelia also got a rare respite.
Therefore, the Federal Air Force Command at Pan Rock Base ordered that while Asia is slowing down its offensive, all troops should get valuable rest time in order to meet further challenges in the future.
At the same time, at the request of the Orillia Federation officials, three pilots and a weapons control officer of the Ghost Squadron gave a paid lesson to the Orillia Air Force pilots who currently lacked fighter planes and were unable to fight.<
/p>
Orillia feels that although these people are mercenaries, their combat skills are real. If they can teach their pilots some experience, then when the purchased fighter planes are shipped in from the border in the future, their pilots will be able to
Immediately form effective combat effectiveness and save some time for additional training.
So Wang Yu and others used the flight data from this battle to explain the combat cooperation between them in the first battle. Of course, the lecture methods were different. The pilots talked about how to use energy advantages to suppress the enemy in order to achieve rapid
shot down, and Liu Lingxin, the weapons control officer, talked about how to quickly get started with the weapon control system of a certain fighter jet.
After all, this girl is familiar with the backseat missions of four different fighter planes, so she is considered an expert in this area.
Wang Yu and the others were paid to attend classes, and the pilots of the Orillia Federation Air Force listened very seriously.
Even a certain Orillia air force commander is quietly saying to his pilots - if you have the opportunity to cooperate with them in the next battle, see clearly how the Ghost Squadron fights, and you may be able to learn from it.
Got something new.
In the next few days, the development of things did become dull.
Asia focused on the troops of the Orillia Federation on the frontline of the remaining territories. They seemed to want to use overwhelming power to eat the last remaining active forces of the Orillia Federation to establish their own victory, and their air force also
They adjusted the focus of their attack here and did not continue to go deep into the vicinity of the Orillia Rock Base because they had sufficient support on the front line.
In the past few days, the Ghost Squadron was allowed to attack again.
But this time it was not as exciting as the first emergency attack. This time they simply performed an airspace escort mission. Several transport planes full of supplies flew into Orillia from the northern neutral country. The mission of the ghost was to provide them with
Protect.
The results of this attack were not that great. They simply shot down two enemy fighter planes.
This round of supplies did come in time, which alleviated Orillia's urgent need.
But the current facts are very clear. Air transportation alone cannot maintain Orillia's supply. If Orillia does not consider opening up a railway line to a neutral country, then air transportation alone cannot solve the key problems facing Orillia.
Question.
After all, you must know that the heavy weapons Orillia ordered from the world arms market are still on the territory of neutral countries, and these heavy weapons cannot be transported by air.
Moreover, the diplomatic departments of neutral countries have warned Orillia several times to transport these arms as soon as possible, because Asia has used these arms to put pressure on them in the international community, warning them that they are breaking their long-standing neutrality policy and they have no intention of doing so.
He tied himself to Orillia's tank and became the enemy of Asia, thus saying that although under the pressure of another superpower, we can allow the arms you ordered to transit, we must not be allowed to serve as your temporary warehouse.<
/p>
In addition, the mercenary pilots in the base are also performing different tasks.
They performed several additional escort missions, escorting important frontline personnel to the Rock Base.
These so-called "important personnel" are Orillia Air Force pilots and some senior technical personnel in the army during the Asia invasion. The former escaped by parachuting during the battle and were not captured by Asia, while the latter should have passed through
Various channels came here to continue serving Aurelia.
Wang Yu is rather curious about the experiences of these pilots.
So he took the time to ask a few people and found out the specific situation.
Because the Orillia Air Force operates locally, many pilots were shot down during the war and parachuted out, and were directly hidden by the Orillia people and temporarily formed guerrilla forces, avoiding the fate of being captured by the enemy. p>
After the storm passed, the masses and the local armed forces formed sent these pilots who were still capable of combat through various channels to the Orillia army garrison in the northern mountains.
Wang Yu couldn't help but smacked his lips.
Perhaps Asia is facing such a people's war.
They probably didn't think about this when they launched the war.
The current slowdown in Asia's offensive may also be attributable to the growing resistance in the occupied areas.
If people survive and lose their land, both people and land will survive.
It is a pity that Orillia currently does not have enough territory to realize the idea of protracted war of exchanging space for time.
But the arrival of these people has created a problem. Although there are more pilots with combat experience, there are no fighters for them in Panshi Base.
In other words, even if there are a few more people, the current power that the Orillia Air Force can put into the sky is not any better than before - except for the mercenaries, it is still the remaining aircraft.
Perhaps Orillia pilots can make up for the lack of rest by taking turns flying fighter planes to fight in the sky, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
The Orillia Air Force needs to have more of its own fighters in the sky to gain an advantage.
Pilots are naturally extremely valuable because of their training, but once pilots no longer have fighter jets that they can fly, they are just ordinary people with slightly better physical abilities.
So this is what the upper echelons of the Orillia Federation are currently struggling with.
Although the members of the Ghost Squadron are also curious about how they will deal with these troubles, considering their status as mercenaries, even if these senior officials have a plan, they will not take the initiative to disclose it to them...
In an employment relationship, mercenaries do not need to know the battle plan at all.
They just need to be like players who entered the game and skipped the opening animation - I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, I don't know what happened, I just know that next I have to go big
Kill.
Therefore, as they currently have no work, they can only recharge their batteries and wait for new tasks.
So...a rather funny scene occurred.
While the atmosphere in the base was still filled with tension, they took the ground team to build a snowman in the open space of the base...
This scene simply shocked the eyes of countless people.
What are you doing? Even if you don’t have a combat plan for the time being, don’t you need simulation training?
Wang Yu said...well, it's really not necessary.
It’s not that they don’t want to make progress, it’s that even if they want to make progress, there’s nothing they can do at the moment.
These three aces and an ace-level weapons control officer have absolutely no knowledge of fighter flight theory, so simulating a battle of wits and courage with an aircraft model is basically meaningless to them. p>
The only thing that can continue to improve them is the experience of flying real aircraft in combat.
Therefore, the only link is actual combat.
The Panshi Base did not keep them waiting. Less than a day later, the Ghost Squadron and several mercenary flying units were invited to the base briefing room to begin receiving briefings for the next actual combat mission.
And as Wang Yu expected, the purpose of this mission is to seize the supply line that is crucial to Orillia.
