In the next two days, the dome base underwent a series of complex military maneuvers.
The pilots who were injured in the last air battle were sent back to China for recuperation, and a batch of brand-new fighter planes and parts were reinforced from China, which were delivered to some pilots who were temporarily unable to fight in the sky due to damage to their fighter planes.
Along with the arrival of this batch of parts, there is also a batch of fighter squadrons that have been redeployed from various domestic bases. Although these squadrons are not as high as the original ones in the dome base, they are still fully trained and have flight and combat experience.
Its existence is much better than that of a pure novice, and it also just supplements the air defense force that the dome base urgently needs.
Above, these squadrons with slightly more average skills and more experienced squadrons are grouped together to form an effect of old bringing in new ones - at least in this way, these average squadrons can quickly become stronger, and when they can gradually become more powerful in one
If you find your place in a large team with sufficient combat experience, you will be able to exert a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
However, the superiors finally understood one thing, which was to put high-end combat power in the position that best suited them.
That is to say, do not use the elites of the elites from the Gensokyo base as flight commanders. Instead, they should be formed into a separate team and used as a "ace card" that can subvert the battlefield situation.
Therefore, under the orders of their superiors, the pilots from the Gensokyo base no longer led the original flying group, but all members were reorganized into a flying group code-named "Gensokyo".
Originally, the superior wanted Wang Yu to be the captain of the group, but Wang Yu said that I am not being modest. Why did I, an ordinary lieutenant colonel, become the captain of the group? You should hire someone else.
The superior immediately said that the General Staff Headquarters had already studied and decided that you would be the captain of this Gensokyo squadron.
Although Wang Yu thought about two lines of poems such as Gou...ah, no, "I dare not forget about my country because of my humble position, I still have to wait for the coffin to be closed" before taking office, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he was not the material.
, so he finally declined the position, saying that he was good at fighting with Polaris and could only do some minor tasks. No matter how much responsibility he had, he couldn't bear it. His superiors still gave this position to those who could afford it.
Responsible pilots are better...
His superiors saw that he was very determined, so they gave up on making him the leader.
As a result, a more experienced pilot named Zhang in the Gensokyo base was promoted to captain.
At the same time as it mobilized its military, the empire also began to take the initiative.
As mentioned before, once Asia launches an attack, things will get better. Although the Empire is limited by the protection of Stonehenge and cannot launch an attack on Asia with great fanfare, it has at least gained some initiative.
The dome base and the empire's naval fleet began to search and actively attack military ships related to Asia.
One day later, an Asiatic naval fleet that had launched an attack before it had time to retreat to the mainland was caught by the patrolling Imperial fleet. The aircraft carrier battle groups of both sides engaged in a large-scale sea and air battle hundreds of kilometers apart, with missiles all fired up.
Fighter jets flew across the sky and the sea turned into a battlefield for both sides. It also became the first naval battle between an aircraft carrier battle group.
This naval and air battle was fought very quickly and lasted for about a day before coming to an end.
Asia has just lost a large number of carrier-based aircraft units from the aircraft carrier. The remaining carrier-based aircraft are no longer able to carry out active attack measures. They can only be used to ensure air superiority around the fleet and prevent imperial fighters from directly penetrating and launching around the fleet.
Airborne anti-ship missiles, the fleet most of the time relies on missiles to attack the empire.
In turn, the Empire was able to achieve coordinated air and sea attacks. Although the Aisians' carrier-based aircraft units fought bravely and indeed interfered with the Empire's air power, the overall naval battle still caused Aisiya to suffer a lot.
Two guided-missile destroyers were sunk, one cruiser was seriously damaged, and even the aircraft carrier was hit by a missile. Although the damage was not serious, it would definitely take several months to be docked for repairs. Therefore, it can be said that before the meteorite arrived, this ship from Asia
The aircraft carrier battle group formation can no longer play its due role.
But the Empire cannot be said to be a complete victory - Asia is a veteran military country after all, and its aircraft carrier battle group has caused certain damage to the Empire even if it is on the defensive.
The empire's side was not sunk, but many ships were damaged. Two ships had to temporarily withdraw from the aircraft carrier battle group, and it would take several days to wait for supplementary ships to arrive from the empire.
.
Not to mention the casualties paid by the empire in this naval and air battle.
But what's more interesting is that the two sides have been engaged in a sea and air battle for such a long time, but they can't even directly see each other's figures. Both sides default to using beyond visual range attacks, even if there are those who keep flying into the distance.
Missiles, fighter planes taking off and landing on the aircraft carrier from time to time, and search and rescue helicopters occasionally setting off to search for pilots who fell into the water, but it is still no different from ordinary exercises.
The only difference from the exercise is that our own ships were actually attacked by cruise missiles.
This aircraft carrier battle group still maintains a certain combat capability, so they continue to wander in the vast sea area east of Stonehenge, searching for the positions of other Aisiya fleets.
After all, the empire had the final say. Like Asia's previous air attack on Stonehenge, so many fighters could not be put together by just one aircraft carrier battle group. Asia must have other aircraft carriers - and as expected
, one day after the attack, the empire mobilized military satellites and discovered another Asia aircraft carrier battle group that was sailing southeast at high speed on the sea.
But what is more regrettable is that the empire's fleet is in another direction, and with the ship's top speed of thirty knots, it cannot rush to support immediately.
Although the anti-ship missile position deployed by the Empire at Stonehenge can launch an attack on Asia's aircraft carrier battle group, because the opponent has been moving away, the distance at this time is close to the ultimate range of the anti-ship missile. At this distance, the missile
It is easy to be intercepted when played out, and the efficiency is not very high.
If the empire wants to attack this aircraft carrier battle group, it can only rely on pure air power to attack at close range.
However, an aircraft carrier battle group can form a powerful air defense firepower network covering a very wide area just by relying on the existence of shield ships. Unless it relies on fighter planes to launch a surprise attack when the fleet's air defense firepower is not ready, otherwise it can only rely on a few fighter planes.
It is impractical to carry anti-ship missiles to attack the fleet's air defense circle.
In addition, the dome base has already paid a certain price in the previous large-scale air battles. At this time, the empire cannot risk the loss of more pilots to forcefully attack Asia's fleet.
However, the fact that it cannot attack the Asia aircraft carrier battle group on a large scale does not mean that the empire cannot harass this fleet.
This task, which had a certain technical content, fell to the newly formed Gensokyo Brigade.
Wang Yu and the others also started to get busy.
Various fighter planes of the newly formed Gensokyo brigade continuously took off from the dome base to harass the high-speed retreating Asia fleet.
Of course, the superiors did not expect them to be able to send all of Asia's fleet to the bottom of the sea with the strength of a dozen fighter planes. The essence of their mission was still two words, that is, harassment.
To put it in writing, they are mainly responsible for tracking and testing the Asia fleet.
They need to update the position of the Asia fleet at all times, after all, the satellite cannot hover above this airspace at all times.
At the same time, they also relied on the long-range anti-ship missiles carried on the fighter planes to test the Asia fleet.
Gensokyo's fighter planes stayed at the edge of the Asia's fleet's anti-aircraft firepower, launching anti-ship missiles at the nearest Asia's ships to make the Asia's retreat less comfortable - and when the Asia's anti-aircraft missiles
When they came straight over, everyone started running away in a swarm.
The main theme is a rogue spirit that I will bore you to death even if I can’t kill you.
Initially, everyone only launched the attack with the idea of making the Aisians nervous, but later they actually achieved certain results.
One day, an anti-ship missile launched by a fighter plane successfully broke through the Asian anti-aircraft fire network and hit a destroyer.
However, this anti-ship missile is an airborne weapon after all, and is not as powerful as a land-based anti-ship missile. The destroyer has only lost a certain speed and weapons reserves, but it can still continue to sail.
But this hit put Asia on high alert - at least before returning to Hong Kong completely, they would be exhausted physically and mentally by the constant harassing attacks of the Empire's Gensokyo squadron.
In short, this is the story of what happened in the three days after the large-scale invasion of Asia.
In addition, the empire's military department also found another thing strange.
That is, in this attack on Stonehenge, Asia did not invest in the drone swarm that they were proud of, nor did they invest in their sky-blocking air carrier.
Logically speaking, Asia's drone swarm has unparalleled advantages in air combat, and the heavy laser weapons and auxiliary weapons carried by the aerospace carrier can also pose a sufficient threat to the empire's fighters.
Therefore, the empire estimates that if the Aisians invested these two pieces of their secret equipment in the first invasion, then the defense line of Stonehenge must have been in danger.
The most dangerous enemy is not the enemy that has appeared on the battlefield, but the powerful enemy that you know exists but never shows up...
The empire stated that a definite conclusion must be drawn as to why Asia did not use those two weapons in the first battle.
Therefore, the empire's intelligence department has been working overtime these days to process all kinds of intelligence to judge the Aisian people's offensive intentions.
However, before the intelligence department got specific clues, Wang Yu and his Gensokyo brigade ended their harassment mission against Asia's fleet.
At this time, there were still six days before the meteorite arrived.
Wang Yu and the others were not able to rest for too long. That night, they received a brand new news and a brand new task to be carried out the next day.
And this mission is related to the Asia aircraft carrier fleet that they were responsible for tracking before.
