Chapter233 Drilling the radar net is the tradition of Ace Combat

At the request of the Orillia Federation, the Ghost Squadron's last mission as mercenaries began.

Considering their own strength and the thoroughness of their plan, they finally agreed to accept this last job.

That is to say, the counterattack method that made Asia decide to make the final move was completely aborted.

In the early morning, three fighter planes of the Ghost Squadron were on standby.

Also on standby are the two stealth bombers supported by the Empire.

The operation requires breaking through the Aisiya radar network and then attacking the medium-range ballistic missile base in Aisiya.

Operation codename, Operation Magic Spear.

The code name comes from the myths and legends of this continent, a magic spear that can hit the target regardless of any obstacles.

The three fighter planes of the Ghost Squadron are equipped with corresponding weapons.

The two fighters of Luo Yu and Murong Lan were equipped with air-to-air missiles and a small number of ground-attack bombs, which were considered conventional configurations.

In addition to the missiles, Wang Yu also carries on the heavy pylon in the belly position the composite pod needed to guide the bombs dropped by the bomber. This pod will be operated by the weapons control officer.

They are already waiting at the end of the runway. As soon as the takeoff clearance is issued, they will immediately accelerate and taxi and take off.

"The fighter plane has been aligned with the runway, the checklist has been completed, and everything is normal."

Irene reported the situation of the fighter plane like this.

Wang Yu sat in the cockpit, looking ahead at the take-off runway illuminated by lights under the slightly dim sky.

"Tower, ready to take off at any time."

"Ghost Squadron, it seems that this is your last flight mission." The tower immediately replied, "Thank you for accepting this difficult mission. You shoulder the hope of the coalition... We also hope you understand that you are liberating our country.

We have never forgotten the contributions we have made to our career, we will never forget them in the past, we will never forget them now, and we will never forget them in the future."

"It is our honor to cooperate with you before." Wang Yu also replied politely, "We will make our last contribution to you. After that, I wish you to sign a peace agreement as soon as possible and achieve real victory."

"We understand." The tower responded. "After the war is over, the doors of the Orillia Federation will be open to you. No matter when you come back, you will be warmly welcomed by us."

"Thank you, we are about to take off."

"Ghost Squadron, takeoff permission approved, I wish you a successful mission."

Wang Yu told his team members about the takeoff in the team channel. Then he stepped on the brakes and pushed the accelerator. After confirming that the fighter's speed increased normally, he released the brakes and pushed the accelerator to the afterburner position to make the fighter fly faster.

Accelerate and slide.

Amid the strong push on his back, Wang Yu looked up at the sky that was not yet fully lit.

Deep blue.

The fighter jet quickly reached a speed that could fly into the sky. Wang Yu gently pulled the lever to let the fighter jet leave the runway and take off into the sky.

Behind him, two Su-37 fighter jets belonging to Luo Yu and Murong Lan also left the ground at almost the same time.

The three fighter planes retracted their landing gear, adjusted their flaps to automatic gear, and began to climb away in formation.

As their takeoff was completed, the ghostly figures of the two stealth bombers also accelerated from the runway.

Noticing that these planes were taking off and flying south one after another with their afterburner tail flames, people near the base stopped what they were doing, stood there and raised their heads, watching their retreating figures.

The mission of the Ghost Squadron this time is different from the past. This time they will enter the enemy's hinterland without any support or help. The airspace is like a duel ground from which there is no turning back. Once they enter, the only choice is victory.

Only then can one leave.

The officers of the Aurelia Federation who came specially to say goodbye to several members of the Ghost Squadron maintained their saluting posture until the fighter plane disappeared in the sky that was not yet fully lit in the early morning, and until the roar of the engine had faded away.

As a mercenary flying force, the Ghost Squadron has won the respect of the Orillians with their strength and style.

This is perhaps one of the highest honors a pilot can receive.

…………

"Ghost Squadron, I am the AWACS of the Orillia Air Force, Eye in the Sky. For this operation - to be precise, before you enter the enemy's controlled area, I will provide you with the most comprehensive guidance possible."

Shortly after leaving the base and flying south, the voice of the AWACS intelligence officer sounded in the cockpit of the attacking squadron fighters: "Continue to fly along the current route. We already have tankers waiting at the edge of the control areas of both sides. You need to execute

Only in-flight refueling can ensure the successful completion of this operation."

"You probably still need to guide us to the 'entry point'."

Wang Yu answered casually.

"Yes, we will do that. We will navigate you to the entrance to the enemy's detection network loophole." The early warning aircraft replied seriously, "But after that, I think you should have understood that before entering enemy control

After entering the zone, you will need to enter radio control, so by then we will not be able to continue to help you, and you will have to rely on yourself."

"Of course, we are the trump card no matter what." Wang Yu said: "We can't rely on the early warning aircraft to make a living."

"Ghost Squadron, maintain the route." The early warning aircraft immediately started its work: "Near your No. 4 waypoint, our tankers are ready. After approaching the No. 4 waypoint within five nautical miles, according to your mission

Information, switch radio channels to contact the early warning aircraft."

Wang Yu looked at the communication frequency of the corresponding tanker on his lap board - it was already set on a communication channel. When needed, he could simply flip the switch to complete the channel switching, indicating to the early warning machine that he understood.

.

The aerial refueling location is not located near the border controlled by both Asia and Orillia. It is on the sea outside the west coast and takes about an hour's flight from the Rock Base.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I will contact you again after you finish refueling, Eye in the Sky ends the call."

The three fighter planes of the Ghost Squadron quickly passed through the sky and flew according to the route.

They passed through the territory of Orillia, flew over another northern country, arrived at the west side of the continent, then turned south and flew along the coastline.

It took less than an hour for them to arrive near the territorial waters of Asia, which is the location of route point four.

Subsequently, Wang Yu led the Ghost Squadron to adjust the flight altitude to the value known before the mission, keeping himself and the tanker near waypoint four at the same altitude.

Later, Wang Yu saw that the distance to the waypoint was less than five nautical miles, and he contacted the tanker.

The tanker received it, started to circle and ended at way point four, and flew straight from way point four to way point five maintaining a speed of 300 knots.

This flight process is the process of performing aerial refueling. The Ghost Squadron determined the specific location of the tanker, and then began to control the flight speed and approach rate of the fighter aircraft to approach the tanker's position.

As the lead aircraft, Wang Yu contacted the tanker and reported their mutual positions while gradually entering the tanker formation.

Soon, a huge compound tanker appeared in front of them.

The smooth flight of the tanker makes the refueling work a lot easier - this kind of thing is considered the most difficult subject at the beginning of training, but there is a saying that practice makes perfect, and now they have no problem with aerial refueling.

When it was about to fly from way point four to way point five, the refueling work of the three fighter planes of the Ghost Squadron was officially completed.

The Phantom Squadron broke away from the rear of the tanker and moved to the side. Then the tanker's liaison officer said goodbye to the Phantom Squadron, then tilted the fuselage to the other side and turned away.

"Huh, now it's time to officially enter the enemy-controlled airspace." Wang Yu let out a long breath, "Everyone adjusts their status and prepares. After passing the path point five, I will contact the early warning aircraft and ask him to provide us with guidance."

"Actually, this is quite good." Liu Lingxin said, "We have carried out this mission, which can be considered as a contribution to the cause of peace on this continent."

Luo Yu asked: "How do you say this?"

"Think about it, this is a medium-range ballistic missile. If it always exists, Asia will always have the ability to deter. Now that these deterrents are destroyed, doesn't it mean that Asia has lost the right to lift the table?"

"But in addition to this base, there are many bases in Asia, including medium-range ballistic missiles, intercontinental missiles, and so on. Our operation at most can only solve the urgent needs faced by the Orillians. How to deal with the deterrence of Asia in the future?

, they still have to rely on their own development.”

In the blink of an eye, the three fighter planes quickly flew past waypoint five.

Wang Yu began to contact the early warning aircraft: "Eye in the sky, we are close to the 'entry point', requesting final guidance."

"Received, continue to fly forward for about five nautical miles and reach way point six, adjust direction and leave near the coastline, heading towards way point seven, while staying outside the territorial waters of Asia. If possible, lower the altitude as much as possible. The altitude is higher

Low, the blind zone of Asia's coastal radar detection is getting bigger. After flying for a certain distance along the territorial waters, it turns to path point eight, begins to enter Asia's territorial waters and flies towards the coastline - the entry point is here."

The intelligence officer simply explained the information that was not much different from the pre-takeoff briefing: "On your situation map, the detection range of the enemy radar is marked, and there is a 'gap' in the middle. The lower your flight altitude, the wider the gap. It must be

Make sure to fly within the gap and never touch Asia's radar detection circle."

"Will the bombers also follow us?"

"Yes, but they have excellent stealth performance, so they don't need to fly at low altitude. Under your leadership, as long as they avoid the detection range of Asia's anti-stealth radar, there is no risk of being discovered."

"Where are the enemy air patrols?"

"Currently the enemy's attention is entirely focused on our upcoming battle in the Round Table airspace, so no one will notice your infiltration - well, some coalition fighter planes happened to be operating within the areas controlled by both parties in the northwest during this time, so

It will also attract the attention of military units in the western region of Asia."

"Understood. Is there any change to our retreat plan?"

"Not yet. We still follow the original retreat plan. After successfully completing the mission, the bombers will immediately rise to the extreme altitude and evacuate north as quickly as possible. This can avoid Asia's radar detection and anti-aircraft missiles to the greatest extent.

, and you are a little more troublesome, because after the attack, Asia's air defense system will be awakened, so after leaving the central mountainous area of ​​Asia, you need to use ultra-low altitude and high speed to fly towards the sea at any cost, in the shortest possible time.

Arrive outside Asia's airspace within a certain period of time, and we will have a certain number of troops there to meet you."

"It seems that evacuation is more difficult than entering..." Wang Yu complained: "Is there anything else we need to know?"

"No more for the time being." Eye of the Sky said, "The only thing I can tell you is not to rely solely on the path points set in advance, but also to pay attention to the distance between yourself and the enemy's radar detection circle. If possible, at low altitude

During the flight, try to avoid the military facilities on the ground in Asia as much as possible - of course, this is just in case."

"I understand, let's leave the rest to us, right?"

"Yes, after this call is over, we will not contact you again. In order to prevent the enemy from intercepting radio signals, any sending and receiving will be prohibited. What you can rely on, apart from the detailed mission information we provided before, is

We only have each other." Eye in the Sky also started a "affectionate" conversation, "To be honest, this will be a difficult task."

"We have completed many difficult missions." Wang Yu paid attention to the position of the squadron and said to the intelligence officer.

"This mission will be more difficult." The intelligence officer said seriously, "I hope you can use the excellent technology given to you to successfully complete this mission. I have been able to fight with you - and all of our early warning aircraft.

It’s my honor to be a member. I believe in you. If everything goes well for you, when you return to the Orillia Federation in the future, you must come to me for a drink.”

"Although I don't want to interrupt your affection..." Wang Yu complained, "but we don't drink."

"Hahaha, you don't look like mercenaries at all. How can there be mercenaries who don't drink." The intelligence officer laughed, "Sometimes, the discipline you show makes me suspect that you are not mercenaries at all.

It is a regular national army, and only a big country with a rich foundation can train such powerful pilots."

"We are a serious security company, and we will compensate you if anything is fake."

"No matter what your role is, you all helped us win this war, and this country will remember you."

The intelligence officer of the early warning aircraft said: "Looking at your position, you are about to enter the enemy's controlled area. We will break off contact soon. In short - I wish you a successful trip and complete this final mission."
