Chapter214 Entering the round table for the first time
After a period of inactivity, the Ghost Squadron received a mission notification again.
Naturally, the pilots did not know that the Orillia Federation had formulated a detailed combat plan in order to counterattack, and they naturally did not know that there was a key link before this plan.
They entered the mission briefing room with doubts.
After the flag and military emblem of the Orillia Federation flashed on the screen in the briefing room, the mission briefing interface was entered.
An officer is responsible for conducting this briefing.
"Good afternoon to the three pilots - and of course the beautiful Miss Weapons Control Officer." He started with a greeting, "I am honored to be the person in charge of the briefing before your Ghost Squadron carries out this mission.
,Next, I will explain the mission situation to you."
The three pilots looked at the screen, waiting for him to explain their mission.
"The airspace code you are seeing now is B7R. It is a flat valley with rich mineral resources, simple terrain, complex electromagnetic environment, and a circle of craters around it. Because the circle surrounded by craters is like a table, so in Asia
That area is also called the Round Table, which is their high-level strategic defense airspace. Currently, the air superiority of this airspace is ensured by the Asia Federation, but our troops are also resisting, so they have not been able to gain all control of the Round Table area.
”
The officer paused slightly, seemingly giving the people present time to think.
After a brief pause, he continued to introduce.
"Please look at the screen. You can see that there are several of our large industrial facilities and open-pit mines in the Round Table area, so gaining control of this area is of great significance to ending the war. For Asia, they will not care about
Control this airspace at all costs." The officer started from the importance of the round table airspace, introduced the reasons for the competition between the two sides, and then began to introduce the specific mission situation.
The Ghost Squadron has developed the habit of not speaking until the mission briefing is finished, so when the officers introduced it, they did not interrupt, but listened carefully.
"Your mission area this time is the B7R round table airspace, which is almost entirely controlled by Asia. Naturally, we have no intention of letting you die. You are not going to attack Asia's air superiority fighters with great fanfare.
But..."
As he spoke, he switched screens.
The four pilots saw the information on the screen, which showed an overhead satellite image of an area. The round table terrain was clearly visible on the map.
Also displayed on the map is their mission plan. According to the planned flight route, they are expected to fly from north to south, fly over the arc-shaped crater and enter the round table.
In the picture, the areas controlled by friendly forces and enemy forces are distinguished by red and blue boundary lines.
It can be seen from the border line that the current control of Asia has basically covered all the airspace of the Round Table, while the control of Orillia is only in the corner of the Round Table, and the troops are also very sparse. It seems that they are just taking advantage of the terrain of the crater.
, ensuring that his team is not completely kicked out of the round table.
Some blue dots are used to mark the position of friendly forces on this side of the blue border line, while in the enemy-controlled area, the enemy's garrison area is circled with red circles.
"A reconnaissance operation." The Aurelia officer finally revealed the specific purpose of the mission.
"It's very clear. We immediately understood your combat thinking." Murong Lan said in vain.
"In short, before the operation plan begins, we still need to explain some things to you... Your reconnaissance is naturally not to enter the Round Table airspace and fly around. After all, we need the enemy's situation at several unknown coordinate points, so we need specific deployment of the enemy's forces.
Make some confirmations that will help our fighting forces."
When Wang Yu heard this, he understood that this might be their mission this time.
For reconnaissance operations, fly over several areas where enemy troops may be present and leave photos as evidence.
"The enemy is deployed in these areas, so you need to fly over several key coordinate points we have marked to verify the content of our intelligence information about enemy troop garrison information. Due to the complex electromagnetic environment in the round table airspace,
Therefore, the enemy's surface-to-air radar cannot perform well, and the effectiveness of the air-to-air radar will also be greatly reduced. So this time you go there, the threat to Asia's ground air defense will be much smaller."
The officer switched the information displayed on the screen and said at the same time, "But this does not mean that you can completely relax your vigilance, because since our last operation, the enemy has increased its alert level, plus the importance of the Round Table airspace to Asia.
Therefore, there are enemy fighter planes cruising and flying around the clock in this airspace. You must defeat them and then conduct reconnaissance missions. If the enemy sends troops to intercept, then defeat them without discrimination until your reconnaissance mission is completed and you are allowed to do so.
Retreat."
"So, the current situation is..." Wang Yu thought for a while and concluded, "We need to fly the plane to these points, and then conduct reconnaissance on the enemy's deployment in the round table airspace, and the enemy already has some troops here.
A certain number of fighter planes are patrolling, so we have to kill them, and when we continue to conduct in-depth reconnaissance, if other enemies come, we will kill them as well?"
"That's right."
"Isn't this a serious round-table reconnaissance battle?"
Wang Yu decisively complained, "In the end, we will encounter the enemy's first ace squadron. The team we encounter will be determined based on the knight line, soldier line and mercenary line..."
Not only this officer, but also the other three members of the Ghost Squadron looked at Wang Yu blankly: "What reconnaissance war?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Oh, it's nothing, I just said it casually." Wang Yu changed the topic.
"In short, this mission will be a new challenge for you." The officer cleared his throat and returned to business, "The enemy has a certain number of fighter jets patrolling here, and if you enter rashly, you will definitely attract more
The enemy, and although it is said to be a reconnaissance mission, it is a front-on flight after all. The enemy will definitely have early warning aircraft to provide support like us. Therefore, in order to successfully complete the reconnaissance, you will face a hard battle. Your flight battle
Technology will also face a major test."
Good guy, entering head-on and then facing the enemy head-on is indeed a good way to play.
"Based on your previous battles, it shows that your skills are much better than all the mercenary pilots we currently recruit and our own air force pilots. We have high hopes for you, so we believe you can successfully complete this mission.
." The officer nodded after seeing the expressions on everyone's faces. "At the same time, you have to know that in addition to this mission, we also plan to conduct operations in other directions, and we need to concentrate all our air force.
, so in this mission, you will not have other friendly fighters to provide support. To put it simply, in this mission, only three of your fighters will enter that airspace to fight the enemy. Do you understand?"
The expressions of the four pilots did not change.
"All I can say is that I'm not surprised."
Wang Yu shrugged.
Orillia knows how to maximize the use of resources... I can only say that their attitude towards Ghost Squadron can be said to be good steel used on the blade.
Don’t spend what you can’t, and spend less what you must.
In fact, to be honest, if the Ghost Squadron were just ordinary mercenaries, you might already feel unhappy at this moment - if you perform well, you will be sent to perform difficult tasks, and the commission will not increase much. Isn't this nonsense...
…
"Very good, the next step is the mission details." The officer continued to switch the content on the screen, "The mission will start at 1100 tomorrow. The mission code is 'Infiltration'. You will take off from this base with a pure anti-aircraft mount and fly to the target area.
.And when arriving near the target area, your most important task is to shoot down the enemy's patrol aircraft outside the round table to ensure short-term airspace security. Then you need to conduct reconnaissance along the waypoints, and by then early warning opportunities will be provided to you.
With detailed operational instructions and intelligence support, after you have flown over the four main reconnaissance points, you can end the mission and return home, but remember, you must remain vigilant at all times before ending the mission."
The members of the Ghost Squadron nodded, understanding the mission well.
"If you understand, go ahead and prepare separately, Ghost Squadron. I hope you will have a successful battle, which is of vital significance to our army and this war." The officer ended the entire briefing process with these words.<
/p>
…………
The three fighter planes of the Ghost Squadron accelerated and took off one after another at the third watch of the day.
Their third official mission begins now.
The fighter jet quickly broke away from the control of Panshi Base, then adjusted its direction and turned to fly south.
Wang Yu adjusted the channel and contacted the early warning aircraft hovering in the sky.
"Eye in the sky, this is the Ghost Squadron. This team has begun to perform the mission of 'infiltration'. The three fighters have now completed their departure and are operating according to the scheduled plan. Currently, they are ascending to an altitude of 50 in formation and advancing to waypoint three."<
/p>
This ascent height of 50 is a simple way of saying it means rising to an altitude of five thousand meters.
"We saw you on the radar, Ghost Squadron." the intelligence officer of the early warning aircraft replied, "I will continue to provide you with intelligence support and battlefield information notifications for this mission, before advancing to waypoint three and turning to waypoint four.
At that time, it rose to a flight altitude of 7,000 meters and reached the combat zone."
"Ghost received, moving forward."
"I will contact you when you arrive near the target airspace and wish you good luck."
"I don't know if anyone has told you this, but..." Wang Yu thought for a while and replied, "There is no need for good luck in air combat."
The real battle between ace pilots really depends on technology, and such ethereal things as luck are actually not liked by Wang Yu and the others.
In this mission, Wang Yu is still the leader of the Ghost Squadron, so he is naturally flying at the forefront at this time, while Luo Yu and Murong Lan are flying behind him as No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.
Wingman position.
The three fighter planes formed a relatively rare triangular flight formation, neatly passing through the airspace of the Orillia Federation.
There were no friendly forces, so they just flew straight towards the war zone.
After the Ghost Squadron reached 7,000 meters, they began to maintain cruising speed. They first crossed the northern mountains of Orillia, then began to fly along the flat area, and then flew towards the crater outside the Round Table airspace. Since the land of Orillia is not too vast, within ten minutes of taking off, Ghost Squadron saw the mountain range on the distant horizon and the flat circular area opposite the mountain range.
There is the round table.
"We are about to enter the war zone. Members of Ghost Squadron, please report the fuel situation."
"No. 2, plenty of fuel."
"No. 3, there is also enough fuel."
After all, the flight distance of this mission is not very long. Thanks to Orillia's small territory, the fighter planes do not need to consume too much aviation fuel from taking off to rushing to the battlefield and then entering the battle. p>
Even some aircraft with relatively short legs can fly to the target area without supplies, fight one or two fierce air battles, and then return.
"Received, the fuel situation is normal." Wang Yu nodded and said, "Very good, we have flown to a place where we can visually see the round table airspace. Well, the front is over the actual control boundary line of both sides, that is to say
, we are about to fly into the enemy's controlled area, so be vigilant."
"Received, according to the intelligence information, the crater is the boundary line controlled by the ground forces of both sides." Murong Lan replied, looking far into the distance, "But the scope of Asia's air force activities is wider, maybe we
Now we have entered their air force patrol area... Oh, by the way, isn't this coming? My radar warning shows the presence of enemy early warning aircraft."
"We also saw it." Wang Yu nodded: "And according to the situation information from our early warning aircraft, there are enemy patrol aircraft in the airspace near us. It seems that we must kill them before we can enter the round table.
tickets."
"Of course." Luo Yu added: "But judging from the situation map, the enemy plane is turning towards us, which means that our whereabouts have been discovered. So we can wait here and wait for the enemy plane to arrive.
Arrival."
"I think you are right."
Wang Yu nodded: "In this battle, the intelligence of both our sides is transparent, so the competition is who's air combat technology is more powerful - in this case, let the enemy come, and we will wait here to meet the enemy.
It’s always more advantageous than if we rush there on our own initiative.”
"And due to the complex electromagnetic environment above the round table, the effectiveness of the radar here has been weakened a lot." Luo Yu said with a smile: "I always feel that this natural terrain is specially designed for us pilots, just to display the most direct
combat capability."
The Ghost Squadron is ready to meet the first wave of enemies before entering the round table.
