When the fleet of planes were taxiing to the runway one after another, Wang Yu saw a wonderful scene.
A small number of Panshi base staff who knew their combat capabilities actually waved to them by the taxiway, hoping that they could continue to win in this mission and bring hope of victory to the war.
Although Orillia knows that these mercenaries are basically here for money, there is a saying that the deeds do not matter the heart. Even though the Ghost Squadron took their money, it did help them shoot down a large number of Aisiya fighter planes.
It is also really helpful for the war.
What Orillia lacks right now is not money, but constant victories.
Therefore, as long as the mercenaries can win, it does not prevent Orillia from having expectations for them.
In short, the second important mission officially begins.
This mission begins in the evening when the sun is about to set. The overall duration is expected to be several hours. All battles will end when the sky is completely dark. The mission code is "Operation Giant's Foot".
Facing the westward setting sun, the three fighter planes of the Ghost Squadron, fully loaded with ammunition, took off from the Rock Base on time and in sequence at the beginning of the mission, and then quickly climbed to altitude and left the valley.
Since Wang Yu still took off first, he left the control altitude directly after taking off and advanced to the base departure point. Then he circled and maintained a certain altitude and speed, waiting for Luo Yu and Murong Lan to follow.
After the three fighter planes completed the formation, they adjusted the waypoints they had set and flew directly to the mission area.
In this mission, in addition to the aircraft group responsible for the main battle - the Ghost Squadron, six mercenary fighters and four Aurelian fighters, there is also a team of fighters responsible for carrying out the spearhead operations.
This vanguard team consists of four F-16s from Orillia.
At this time, the leading combat troops had already taken off ahead of schedule.
Their job is to target the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and achieve out-of-defense strikes to pave the way for subsequent air forces to enter.
In order to do this, they will launch anti-radiation missiles at high altitudes and at high speeds.
According to Wang Yu's understanding, since Orillia does not know the specific location of the enemy radar, they can only use the ad hoc mode to attack, which means that the anti-radiation missile uses a passive enemy-seeking method to attack.
Therefore, this thing will not display information like "whether the target has entered the appropriate attack distance" like an ordinary lock-on missile to let the pilot know that when the anti-radiation missile captures the radiation source of the enemy radar, it will be completed.
Locked, there will be no prompts about the estimated hit time and distance.
In addition to the basic range provided by its power stage, the range of the anti-radiation missile also depends on the altitude and speed of the fighter when it is launched. Generally speaking, when the fighter is launched, the higher the height and the faster the speed, the range of the anti-radiation missile is
The further away.
So there may be a situation where the target is captured, but the missile cannot hit after being launched...
That's too far.
In short, the vanguard is responsible for destroying the enemy's radar as much as possible before the battle officially begins.
Therefore, due to limited combat objectives, they must complete the mission before the large forces arrive. Due to ammunition limitations, they return directly to the base after finishing the battle, so they cannot enter the combat area with other mission squadrons.
According to the plan, they must first fly to an altitude of about 10,000 meters, then search for enemy air search radar signals, and then drop anti-radiation missiles at high speed.
After confirming the destruction of the four air defense radars in the intelligence information, the subsequent combat troops can enter with great fanfare.
"Ghost Squadron, this is the Eye in the Sky. I will still provide you with intelligence support for this mission."
When the Ghost Squadron took off and headed for the combat airspace, the early warning aircraft's communication was connected in time: "Next is the mission progress report. Our friendly air forces are about to begin an air defense fire suppression mission, and the ground forces for this mission are also ready.
, the ground reconnaissance troops are already in place, and they will provide guidance for your air-to-surface missiles at any time."
"Where are the ground attack helicopters?"
"Helicopters have been prepared at the frontline airport. They will fly to the ground troops at a constant speed to perform close fire support, but whether their mission can be carried out smoothly depends on you. You need to ensure that the enemy is near the combat area before they set off.
There are no air threats in the airspace."
"Received, any new news about the enemy's deployment?"
"No, according to the reconnaissance of our ground forces, the enemy is still deployed along the railway hub and several bridges. They have not noticed our combat intentions, and have no plans to adjust the defense zone. As for the large forces on the Asia side,
It is still blocked by our soldiers on the front line and cannot provide reinforcements near the railway, so your attack mission remains green."
"Very good." Wang Yu replied, "Leave the next task to us."
"Thank you. After arriving at the mission area, contact the ground troops directly. They are on radio frequency No. 6."
The early warning aircraft finally said: "Check the mission details on your kneeboard. It contains the frequencies you need, navigation information, laser codes and some 'code names' for this mission. Remember, Orillia can no longer accept this large-scale
The operation failed, so our future destiny depends on you."
In fact, when the Air Force is performing a mission, various targets involved in the mission will be represented by an unknown code name. For example, the enemy's tank or armored vehicle target will be replaced by "base station", and the railway target will be replaced by "high voltage".
"Power Grid" instead, so that if the enemy eavesdrops on communications, it will not detect key combat targets.
There may even be misunderstandings due to code names.
The reason why I write it out directly instead of writing the code name is really not because I am too lazy to think about it, but to make it easier for readers to read.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I am really a conscientious writer.
After finishing the conversation with the early warning aircraft, Wang Yu assumed the responsibility of the captain.
He cleared his throat and began to speak on the team channel: "No. 2, No. 3, switch to radio No. 2, set to channel six. I will communicate with the ground troops - the first wave should be air-to-ground.
Missile strike, so before starting, we need to determine the laser signal frequency of the air-to-ground missile."
Luo Yu immediately replied: "Received on the 2nd, second radio channel 6."
Wang Yu continued to say in the team channel: "This mission is relatively complex, taking into account both air superiority and ground attack - so to be on the safe side, after the first wave of strikes, we are mainly responsible for air combat, and the alert dares to come.
The Asia fighter planes... Well, I think these mercenaries are not good at air combat, but they should not be too inferior in ground attack."
"Copy that, after all, we are all air-control aircraft." Luo Yu responded with a smile.
"In short, when we start the attack, although we will lose altitude due to the first wave of attacks, we should try not to stay at low altitude after the attack is completed, and rise to about 7,000 meters to maintain speed - we will alert our radar and
In the situation map, the machine girls are responsible for observing whether there is any air defense fire on the ground that has escaped the network to attack us. After the first wave of strikes, disconnect from the ground channel and contact the eye in the sky on channel 1 to obtain the battlefield situation and ensure the safety of the airspace.
”
Luo Yu and Murong Lan both expressed their understanding.
There was naturally no problem with the plan drawn up by Wang Yu. Then Liu Lingxin switched channels and Wang Yu notified all the combat teams of the arrangement - and when these combat teams heard that someone had taken the initiative to take on the task of air control, they were also happy to do so.
I wish the Ghost Squadron will shoot down a large number of enemy planes again and win the title of ace.
Wang Yu and others said - we have been trump cards for a long time, it’s just that you don’t know it...
Subsequently, he entered the communication channel with the ground troops and waited to get in touch with the ground troops.
At this time, the anti-radiation operations of the leading air force had begun. On the monitoring channel, Wang Yu heard them reporting the battle situation - everything seemed to be going well so far.
He heard the pilots shouting "Magnum", indicating that they had launched anti-radiation missiles.
Speaking of which, the troops stationed here in Asia are very interesting. Because they are deep behind enemy lines, their army commanders know that the current strength here is weak and are afraid of attacks from the sky, so in order to defend against attacks from Orillia
The federal air raid always kept the air defense radar in search mode.
The original goal was to be able to detect the opponent first when it launches an attack, but unexpectedly it has become an excellent target for anti-radiation missiles. It can only be said that attack and defense are not very clear.
Therefore, the four fighters of the Orillia Air Force did not even wait long before they saw the code name of the enemy's air defense radar appearing on the search interface of their fighter screen, so they launched the anti-radiation missiles in their hands.
What's even more tragic is that these Asia air defense radars are not radar trucks that can be quickly transferred - of course there are a small number of such things, but the more important thing is that they need to be supported by load-bearing objects after being transported. Have they taken root?
The type that cannot be moved after a few hours of preparation.
Therefore, even if they detect the missile in advance and turn off the radar before the attack, there is no way to avoid being attacked.
Anti-radiation missiles have the function of still attacking the original coordinate point after the target disappears. In other words, even if these air defense radars are shut down, if they do not move immediately, the missiles can still hit the target.
According to the missile's charge, even if it explodes, it will affect the radar, at least making it unable to work during this period of time.
In addition, in order to facilitate the maximum range of radar air detection, Asia has set up these radars in relatively open areas, and there are no buildings or trees to block the attack trajectory of missiles.
"This is Anti-Radiation Squadron No. 1, suppressing two enemy radars."
"Anti-radiation 2 confirmed the destruction of the 'SA-11' missile system search radar."
"Anti-radiation No. 3..."
Successful news spread frequently in the channel, refreshing everyone involved in the action.
After a moment of flight, the pilots of the Ghost Squadron, who were sitting on their fighter jets approaching the combat airspace, vaguely saw thick smoke rising from the mountains. This may be the result of the anti-radiation missile hitting the target.
For radar-guided missiles, without the radar, the missile becomes a fire stick.
So almost at the same time, they received a notification from an early warning aircraft: "Friendly forces have successfully destroyed the main radar target. The threat of anti-aircraft missiles in the mission area has been basically eliminated. You can enter to launch ground attacks."
Before flying to the waypoint where he was expected to enter the target airspace, Wang Yu began to call the ground guidance troops on the channel.
"Ground guidance troops, this is the Ghost Squadron captain responsible for performing ground attack missions. We are about to enter the target airspace. Please inform us of the missile's laser signal code."
He didn't wait long before the voice of the ground force liaison came through the channel: "I'm glad to hear your voice. Let's start the briefing. This time we use three groups of laser signal codes. You can allocate targets freely. The first
The first group, the code is 1145; the second group, the code is 1919; the third group, the code is 1481."
"The decibel code of the laser signal is 1145/1919/1481. After receiving it, we will allocate the laser frequency ourselves." Wang Yu replied, "Waiting for your notification, we are ready to start the attack. You will inform me through this frequency after starting the laser irradiation.
”
"Understood, help us defeat those more difficult enemies."
Wang Yu added: "After the attack hits, you don't have to wait for us, just switch to the corresponding laser to indicate the target and tell us, we will automatically attack the next target - as long as you don't shine the laser on your own people, everything will be fine."
”
"This is really convenient. We have prepared laser irradiation."
After the communication ended, all fighter planes carrying laser-guided air-to-surface missiles were ready. They needed to attack first before the ground troops advanced and destroy some of the enemy's more obvious and important targets under laser guidance.
Liu Lingxin dexterously operated the fighter's control sticks and buttons with both hands, selected the missile on the corresponding mount on the mount screen, adjusted the missile attack mode, entered the laser signal code, and waited until "RDY (ready)" appeared above the character representing the missile.
After the words are displayed, switch to the next rack and perform the same settings.
The Silent Eagle's ground attack weapon does not belong to the fighter's own system. It is a pylon installed later and has not been adapted. Therefore, things such as setting the missile's attack mode and attack frequency must be
You need to manually switch between different racks and complete the settings one by one.
So I have to trouble Liu Lingxin to operate it again and confirm it again.
On the contrary, Luo Yu's Su-37 has the function of ground attack and the rack system is fully adapted. She can select all air-to-ground missiles with one click and then set them uniformly... In short, they quickly completed the missile settings.
The three fighter planes have also approached the combat airspace. The only thing they have to wait for now is a notification from the ground to start guidance.
When the ground begins to guide, it means that the attack is about to officially begin.
