The successful conclusion of the operation also represents the successful realization of the Orillia Federation's idea of retaking the supply line.
After confirming that the railway line was normal, the Federation couldn't wait to transport a large number of various military equipment and supplies from neutral countries to the controlled area, such as ordered armored vehicles, replacement parts, more mercenaries, and
Various supplies and medicines that are enough to help the current situation.
It can be said that once this supply line is connected, overseas support to Orillia will be able to bypass Asia's blockade and continuously provide blood transfusions to Orillia, and Orillia will officially have the power to fight against Asia.
capital.
These are impacts in an intuitive sense, not to mention potential impacts.
In this operation, Asia was once again frustrated. An organized unit surrendered after being defeated, resulting in a large loss of air power.
A thoughtful person put it all together and found that Asia's arrogance had been severely hit by the failure of this and the previous raid. They failed to solve Orillia within a few days as they boasted, but now they were defeated.
Two great victories, for a superpower...well, it is indeed not easy to accept.
Asia lost dozens of aircraft of various types in the two battles. This is not the early era when airplanes could be made from wood. The loss of modern fighter jets and their pilots, even Asia, who has a strong family background, cannot bear the loss.
I don’t feel any pain for this.
On the contrary, the Orillia Federation performed very well in both operations.
It is enough to make the world paying attention to this war look at this small country with admiration.
Although everyone knows that Orillia can withstand the current situation because of the blood transfusion of another superpower and some powerful countries, but without the firm will of its citizens to resist, there is really no way to withstand Asia's tiger and wolf army. At the same time, Orillia's operation to retake the supply line also made the world speak highly of the strength of the Orillia Air Force - the world does not know about mercenary squadrons. After all, these mercenaries have Orillia on the surface.
The number of the Air Force of Orillia, so everyone agreed that the Air Force, which played a huge role in the mission, is Orillia’s trump card.
In addition to the air force, the heroic performance of the ground forces has also been recognized by the military community - whether it is the main force blocking the Asia army on the front line or the elite troops responsible for retaking the railway lines, they have indeed performed well and are impressive.
.
In a sense, the Orillia Federation's joint air-ground operation is an unquestionable victory both tactically and strategically, and can be used as a military case in textbooks.
On the contrary, Asia's response in this operation can also be used as a textbook...
It's just that the former is a positive teaching material and the latter is a negative teaching material...
Asia made a serious mistake of underestimating the enemy. They believed that the troops of the Orillia Federation were no longer a threat. Therefore, during the war, apart from going deep into war zones they did not control alone, they did not provide decent support to the troops that cut off the enemy's supply lines.
With the support, the Aisian garrison on this key railway was easily defeated by Aurelia.
Coupled with the inability to efficiently ensure air superiority, when the Orillia ground force's dump truck rushed over, it easily crushed Asia's weak defense line that had been ravaged by air strikes.
Then there is the issue of Asia's response in emergencies.
In fact, their air power deployment speed is still a bit slow, and they still look down upon Orillia's air power. The number of fighters they sent did not achieve an overwhelming advantage, so they were unable to gain air supremacy immediately and solve the problems faced by the ground forces.
Problem, when the troops suffered heavy losses and wanted to further mobilize troops, they discovered that Orillia had achieved their combat objectives and their powerful air power had no use.
There is also an episode here. Asia wanted to send more fighter planes, but during the emergency dispatch, it was discovered that the pilots who were supposed to perform the mission were actually approved to take leave, and the pilots who were not on duty had to
Taking off temporarily, there was no unified combat order after takeoff, so they came to this airspace to fight...
A direct battle that had the opportunity to kill most of Orillia's air power turned into a chaotic battle and was eventually sent away one by one by the technically superior Ghost Squadron...
In addition to the excellent technology of the Ghost Squadron itself, of course Asia also has to shoulder a great responsibility.
The enemy's stupidity is their own luck, so after the mission was completed, the military command of the Orillia Federation even wanted to toast and celebrate their opponents' various stupid actions in this operation.
Speaking of which, in fact, the outstanding performance of the Ghost Squadron this time was not as good as that of the emergency interception.
The last action of shooting down enemy planes one after another can be said to be amazing.
This time it’s a bit more satisfactory.
But the senior officials of the Orillia Federation knew the importance of this mission, so after the Ghost Squadron successfully helped them accomplish their goals, they recognized the strength of these hired pilots even more.
More people began to think that they could indeed help them win the war.
It’s just that the Ghost Squadron doesn’t care what they value.
To put it bluntly, this is not their war.
After this operation, the Ghost Squadron entered the standby period again.
What the Orillia Federal Military means is to put them into key operations, such that some ordinary operations do not require their participation.
This also made Wang Yu couldn't help but think about what Liu Lingxin said. Could these people just want to save some money...
Speaking of which, even if their commissions are very high, the employer is a national power, so they shouldn't feel sorry for the money. What they need to pay to themselves is only a drop in the bucket for their national treasury.
Perhaps they want to save as much as possible and use the savings later on in post-war reconstruction.
With fewer missions, Ghost Squadron has nothing to complain about.
They then returned to the state they were in when they had no tasks.
However, the relationship between the members of the Ghost Squadron seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes - in the previous operations, Wang Yu and Luo Yu had become more and more closely coordinated and had a clear understanding of each other, but the two did not think much about it before.
I just think this is a normal teammate relationship, but in fact it is indeed a normal tacit cooperation between the leader and the wingman.
But as Murong Lan took the initiative to tell the matter, they couldn't help but stop thinking about it.
Wang Yu felt that it was not good for him, so he began to try to distance himself from Luo Yu. In addition to similar feelings, Luo Yu also had a complicated feeling mixed with guilt and envy when facing Liu Lingxin.
Emotion.
Liu Lingxin's mood was also very complicated. She had a good relationship with Luo Yu, but every time she saw Luo Yu these days, there was a strange sense of estrangement between them when they talked, which made her heart feel like it was blocked.
.
Therefore, the only ones in the Ghost Squadron who are still enjoying themselves are a few machine girls and Murong Lan, whose sexual orientation is somewhat problematic.
But this is their problem, and they can only hope for some special changes, or changes slowly over time.
When the Ghost Squadron was in a mission window and its members had nothing to do, the Orillia Federation did not stop.
A large amount of materials shipped in from abroad were quickly distributed to various departments, and they quickly put these materials into use.
The fighter planes in Panshi Base replaced all the replacement parts that had been severely worn, restoring the fighter planes to 100% combat capability, and the pilots were finally able to fly fighter planes in full condition into the air for combat.
Naturally, there are also brand-new fighters that allow Orillia pilots who previously had no fighter planes to fly back to the sky.
After a little integration of the troops, the Orillia Federation tentatively launched an attack on an Aisian force stationed near a certain town, and successfully repelled them and gained control of some roads.
.
And they successfully blocked a counterattack by Asia.
Although Aisiya's army was overwhelmingly strong in the early stage, at this time it seemed a bit difficult to penetrate Lu Zhen's powerful crossbow.
The Orillia Federation noticed this and decided to plan some big plans.
In this situation of war, every big plan must have a strategic effect - they do not need tactical actions, but need big plans that can influence the progress of the war.
If you want to further gain the initiative, this plan must be carried out immediately.
After about a week of planning and preparation, the Orillia Federation’s battle plan was finalized.
The Orillia Federation will launch a large-scale joint offensive from the air and the ground against several selected Asia army garrison areas. This offensive will be the first for the Orillia Federation since the war began.
This large-scale active attack can be regarded as a big gamble - the combat operation requires almost all of the remaining air and ground forces of the Orillia Federation.
To put it simply, if it wins, the Orillia Federation can get out of the predicament of being gradually surrounded and devoured, and start to push Asia back step by step with the help of overseas blood transfusions. But once it loses, it will basically
I sent it.
However, the top leaders of the Orillia Federation decided that rather than letting the advantages they finally gained slip away with the passage of time due to their hesitation, they should give it a try. They did not want to end the war with a sense of failure in their hearts.
The regret of saving the country.
Based on several previous battles, the Orillia Federation military was also aware of the problems that Asia began to gradually expose after swinging three axes in the early stages of the war, so in fact, this operation was not an egg against a stone.
They still have hope of winning.
The purpose of the operation is simple. To capture several major cities currently controlled by Asia to further encourage the people's enthusiasm for resistance, at the same time to recover the supplies and equipment in these cities, and to control the transportation routes with the cities as hubs, to prevent Asia from
Use Orillia's domestic transportation routes to mobilize troops and generals.
As a joint operation, the military staff of the Orillia Federation worked hard and considered the handling of various emergencies and emergencies before coming up with the final phased combat plan.
But after the plan was formulated, Orillia found that the enemy's air threat was still a very troublesome matter.
Although the enemy suffered heavy losses in the first two air battles, they still have sufficient air force. Even if the Orillia Federation mobilizes all the air units it can mobilize, it may not be a match for the enemy.
What is the most important thing in modern warfare?
Air supremacy (instant answer)
That's right, air superiority, sit down.
Mastering air superiority will not only prevent you from going to the sky, but also prevent you from leaving the sea. It will also pose a great threat to your ground forces. Since fighter jets and corresponding weapon configurations entered the third generation, facing the remaining conventional arms
Basically, they are dimensionality reduction attacks.
PS: The Rocket Force and Missile Force are not considered conventional arms.
In short, air strikes will pose a sufficient threat to any force. If you do not respond well, failure may be the only way to go.
After some calculations by the Orillia Federation Combat Command, they found that if the enemy sent all their fighter planes here, it would be almost impossible to control the air superiority in this area.
Therefore, there must be a way to attract the enemy's air power away from the main combat area.
This method is not difficult to find, and they quickly came to a conclusion, which is to lure the tiger away from the mountain in the traditional art of war.
As long as you attract the enemy's attention outside the main combat area and make the enemy think that this is the main combat area and send the main air combat power there, you can provide cover for the main combat target for a period of time.
To explain this in the simplest terms - the Federation has formulated a counterattack plan targeting several cities, but the main problem with this plan is that the enemy cannot focus a large amount of air power here, so the Federation
It is necessary to launch a feint attack elsewhere to divert the enemy's attention.
Well, that's it.
In short, after the main battle plan was determined, they began to formulate a feint attack plan.
So, they set their sights on an area located in the southwest of their original land.
This is a valley in Orillia, surrounded by a circle of craters, like craters formed by large-scale meteorite strikes in the early days of the planet. The valleys within the craters are rich in mineral resources and several industrial cities, but at the same time due to
Due to some special geographical features and Aurelia's resistance, Asia has not been able to gain complete control here until now.
This valley is code-named B7R on the Orillia battle situation map.
Asia also knows the importance of this airspace, so they set the airspace above this valley as the highest defense strategic airspace and gave this airspace a code name, "Round Table".
So, if troops are dispatched here to conduct high-density reconnaissance, it will definitely allow Asia to focus all its attention.
