When the Ghost Squadron rushed back to the combat airspace, the battle was still in full swing.
With the cooperation of the air force and helicopter force, Orillia's ground forces have successfully captured two railway bridges and firmly controlled them. According to the information from below, the pilots in the sky
We know that the railway bridge has not been damaged and is in an intact state. As long as the hub town is controlled by Orillia, the entire railway will be unimpeded.
This can be regarded as the victory of the first phase of the mission - at least in the air force channel, the Orillia pilots were heard cheering quietly.
Although Wang Yu is not interested in popping champagne at halftime, he knows that the Orillia pilots have been looking forward to victory, so it is not a bad idea to cheer, so he does not intend to pour cold water on them.
According to the arrangement of the early warning aircraft Eye in the Sky, after shooting down the first wave of enemy aircraft, the Ghost Squadron returned to hovering over the battlefield and waited for the progress of the mission.
Because there are more planes in the sky at this time, the airspace is more congested, and the planes are basically concentrated above the hub town waiting for support, there is no need for the Ghost Squadron to perform ground missions for the time being.
However, Wang Yu still asked Liu Lingxin to set the parameters of the wind direction correction spreader mounted on the fighter jet and prepare it for deployment at any time.
Wang Yu feels that there will always be a chance that the bomb will be dropped.
Sure enough, after circling for a while, the early warning aircraft suddenly sent a notification, saying that a small-scale Aisian ground force that was not shown in the intelligence was gathering outside the railway hub town, and seemed to be heading into the town to stop Orillia.
Ground troops, as it happens, these Aisian troops do not have armored vehicles and are soft targets, so it is most appropriate to attack with a spreader that can cover a large area of targets.
Therefore, after checking the mounts of each fighter plane, Eye in the Sky handed over the attack mission to the Ghost Squadron.
The intelligence officer on the early warning aircraft was a native of Orillia. He was the kind of person who had a deep hatred for the Asia Federation, so when issuing orders, he even mixed some of his personal emotions.
"Use your cluster bombs to give the dirty Asia troops a thorough bath!" He ordered: "Don't let any of them escape."
The early warning aircraft informed the direction of the target, and Irene then reported the confirmed target's location. So Wang Yu adjusted the flight angle so that the pod's field of view could point to the target. According to the description of the environment, Liu Lingxin quickly controlled the pod to point to the target.
Region.
This is an open space surrounded by houses. At this time, a group of soldiers wearing Asia military uniforms and holding light weapons are gathering. There are less than a hundred people in total. Apparently they have lived in nearby buildings before. Suddenly,
Under attack, they began to gather and prepare to reinforce friendly forces in the town.
They naturally underestimated the enemy, and seemed to think that Orillia's army was nothing to worry about, so they actually did the outrageous act of gathering in an open space without air superiority.
"Set the dispersion height to three hundred meters, and the bomb drop angle to vertical bomb fall... This should be able to cover the open space where Asia's army gathers." Liu Lingxin quickly completed the final settings of the weapon: "The coordinate points have been marked.
For the CCRP bomb to be dropped in the center of the open space, one bomb is theoretically enough, but for the sake of safety, I set it to be dropped with two bombs."
The wind direction correction dispenser is a bomb that can be navigated according to preset coordinates. Due to its special design, it can be dropped in bad weather with a certain wind strength and accurately complete the distribution of cluster bombs. Wang Yu is carrying the type specially designed to kill soft targets. If these two bombs are thrown, the scene in that area can be imagined.
The fighter planes completed their final turn and began to enter the attack route, while the Aisiya army was still gathering. It seemed that some sergeants were lecturing them, and they seemed completely unaware of the impending disaster.
"The target is confirmed and the attack can begin..." Liu Lingxin confirmed the information for the last time, and then turned away from the pod's view. She knew the power of the cluster bomb after it was dropped, and naturally also knew the consequences faced by the Aisiya troops...<
/p>
"Even if it is a hostile army, if this attack continues, it will cost the lives of hundreds of people..." Seeing that the distance from the release point is getting closer and closer, Wang Yu sighed faintly: "This is a cruel war... War has never changed.
."
Perhaps Wang Yu's sudden words were a bit abrupt. For a moment, no one in the Ghost Squadron made a sound, only the noise of the engines of each aircraft.
After a moment of silence, Luo Yu, who was flying escort in the surrounding airspace, said: "This is what war is like... We are indeed very good at killing our own kind."
"Maybe we are already in hell." Wang Yu sighed.
"It would be great if what we are doing is to make the world a better place." Liu Lingxin said seriously.
"I also want to convince myself so. But to be honest, for the Orillians, this is a just war to resist aggression, but for us... now we may really be just a group of dirty mercenaries for money.
Well..."
Wang Yu would never place the so-called "justice" on himself, because he knew that since Polaris was sent here to participate in a war that had nothing to do with the empire, just to practice his combat skills, he was no longer a
The righteous side.
Subsequently, the fighter plane arrived at the bomb drop point, so he pressed the drop button.
The bombs on the racks on both sides fell downward at the same time.
"Bombs dropped."
His tone was very calm, but he announced the death penalty of those Aisian soldiers.
When the cluster bomb falls freely, it is still an arc at first, but soon under the action of the wings outside the bomb, the bomb head falls vertically downward.
At a height of about 300 meters above the open space, the shells of the two bombs shattered according to the preset procedure, and a large number of "small bombs" fell outwards.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
These small bombs densely covered the entire sky, and fell down the last three hundred meters in a short period of time. Soldiers from the Asia army noticed this strange scene, and they pointed at the sky and shouted in horror.
But, it's too late.
The bombs exploded one after another, and the entire square was enveloped in a shock wave of smoke and light at this moment. Countless cluster bombs set off huge clouds of smoke and dust in the light spots that shone like stars. The indistinguishable continuous explosions sounded like dozens of bombs.
Firecrackers went off at the same time, but at this time the "firecracker sound" symbolized not the joy of the New Year, but the gloomy sob of "Welcome to Hell".
"It is confirmed that the target area is completely covered..." Eileen reported the observation results as a machine girl: "No one will survive an explosion of this magnitude."
Facing ground troops, the air power attack can only be described in one word - massacre.
Wang Yu likes the exhilaration of defeating an opponent in an open air battle, and also likes the tension of fighting wits and courage with ground air defenses, but he just doesn't like this unfulfilling feeling of simply pressing a button to eliminate a large number of defenseless enemy forces on the ground.
Attack.
Although he can understand that this can indeed maximize combat efficiency, and he can press the bomb button without hesitation when dropping bombs to sentence the enemy to an inevitable death sentence, he does not like this kind of "battle".
It may be contradictory, but when it comes to war, many things are contradictory.
Wang Yu contacted the early warning aircraft: "Eye in the Sky, the attack has been completed, and the Aisiya army can no longer pose a threat."
"Thank you for your help! Well done, well done!"
The other party's excited tone was in sharp contrast to the fubo mood of the Ghost Squadron members.
Perhaps it is precisely because Asia is their mortal enemy and the existence that invaded their land, that they transformed themselves into Shura who is even more cruel than their enemies.
"Ghost Squadron returns to the airspace security mission and ends the call."
As the Ghost Squadron returned to the airspace, alerting other Aisian fighters that might arrive, the Orillia ground force's attack was also proceeding smoothly.
To be honest, the Aisian troops here are not a powerful force in themselves. On the contrary, Orillia has invested a lot of resources in retaking the railway line.
Coupled with the above-mentioned air support, it is basically impossible that the ground troops' attack will not go smoothly.
However, just as the Ghost Squadron was worried before the mission began, the key point of this mission was not the ground forces, but the assurance of air superiority. At this time, Asia had fully realized Aurelia's plan.
A large number of their fighter planes have already approached the airspace.
Just the first batch to appear on the "Eye in the Sky" radar included more than a dozen fighters of various models.
Therefore, Orillia's fighter planes have temporarily stopped ground support under the instructions of the early warning aircraft. They have returned to high altitudes to prepare for this severe challenge.
Orillia's ground forces were also aware of the situation at this time, but they had received too much help from the air force, so the ground forces commander waved the gun in his hand to express that he could not let everyone think that the Orillia army
They are all soft-footed shrimps who cannot fight without air support. They will solve the final battle in one go when the air force ensures air superiority.
As a result, air combat and ground combat started almost simultaneously.
The direction in which the enemy planes arrived was further away from the cruising area of the Ghost Squadron, so the first wave to attack the Aisiya fighters was a mercenary team. Their four fighters took the initiative to meet four F-16s from Aisiya.
fighter planes, and after them, the remaining mercenary pilots and Aurelia Air Force pilots also began to fight with the enemy. On the contrary, the most powerful Ghost Squadron on the battlefield at this time became a lonely existence-without Asia's fighter planes
They came to them to take the initiative to fight, but they did not approach any Asia Air Force squadron...
Missiles began to fly randomly in the sky, and both sides were approaching the enemy amid electronic interference. It was about to turn into a melee in small groups.
In order to avoid being killed by missiles that missed the target, Wang Yu led the Ghost Squadron to continue climbing to higher altitudes. Their fighters are all powerful twin-engine heavy combat aircraft, so they can still maintain a stable speed when climbing to higher airspace.
and mobility.
"Destroy this wave of enemies as soon as possible." Wang Yu made a slight judgment based on the ground combat situation relayed by the early warning aircraft and the complex battlefield situation map on the situational awareness interface: "Shoot down this wave of enemy aircraft quickly and complete the mission smoothly, so that the railway line will
In the hands of Orillia, it will be useless for Asia to send more fighter planes in the future."
"Understood, how do we fight specifically?" Murong Lan asked.
Wang Yu switched to the battle channel, and various radios rushed into his mind, so he quickly switched away, and then sighed and chanted from the Bible: "Teammates have already engaged in battle, and when there are more numbers, a melee begins.
Now, well... everyone is playing in such a mess now, it makes me very messed up too. No one listens to what I say in the channel, and no other pilots give me feedback, so my hands keep shaking..."
"Are you okay?" Luo Yu asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Drink some water. If you fly for a long time, you may consume too much." Liu Lingxin said thoughtfully, and handed over a water bag.
Wang Yu took it, took the straw used by Liu Lingxin and drank a few sips of water, and then said: "Since Asia has not taken the initiative to cause trouble for us, then we can just use our subjective initiative and defeat Asia one by one according to the battlefield situation.
The power of."
"Good idea, how to implement it specifically?" Luo Yu asked.
"In order to avoid things like good intentions but wrong execution, we must always fight in a three-plane formation, keep it at high altitude, and then seize the opportunity for enemy planes and friendly forces to exchange energy when attacking, and use the speed advantage to quickly
Raid, fight quickly, leave once you miss, and look for opportunities again." Wang Yu thought briefly for a moment and then ordered: "We pay attention to target selection, and when attacking, we can also try to attack from the RWR blind spot of the enemy aircraft.
Increase the probability of a hit... That's about it. Anyway, we have been cooperating for a long time, so a battle of this level should not be a problem."
"You two have been cooperating for a long time..." Murong Lan complained: "In the previous large-scale battles, I was sent out to bring various friendly troops, and you two cooperated to kill everyone...
”
"Let's not talk about these topics during the battle." Luo Yu interrupted Murong Lan, and she took a tough attitude: "We keep up with the No. 1 attack rhythm. At this time, we don't need everyone to focus on different enemies.
According to the situation at the scene, the loss of a fighter plane by either side will tip the balance of victory, so our goal is to shoot down the enemy planes as much as possible."
"I understand, you and I should try to attack the same target." Wang Yu added: "If my attack fails, the enemy plane will probably lose a lot of energy due to evasion, so you have plenty of opportunities - but remember, don't enter
