Gensokyo, a flying brigade composed of super aces.
It can be said to be the most powerful air force in the entire empire and even the world.
Their powerful flying skills, top-level fighter planes, and those aircraft girls who are considered to be bug-level upgrades to elite pilots, plus a dedicated logistics team for constant support, have created this unit with explosive combat effectiveness.
We can confidently say that every squadron in this brigade has the ability to turn the tide on its own.
If someone with high enough authority were to check out the secret or a small number of non-secret missions carried out by the empire over the years, they would be able to see that this brigade was active in them and played a pivotal role.
Ordinary pilots from the dome base have flown missions with the guys from Gensokyo.
They also clearly know the role this force can play.
Not to mention the outstanding performance of Polaris Squadron in the previous large-scale melee, even those Gensokyo pilots who accidentally got caught in the melee still achieved good results in the melee without any damage to themselves.
Therefore, based on these visible reasons, although the pilots in the base did not know the specific details of the Gensokyo pilots, they still admired their indestructible fighting ability.
Therefore, when the dome base gathers such a flying team that everyone knows is very powerful and prepares them to carry out a key mission without any other teammates during the mission, everyone knows that the big one is coming.
.
The top commander of the base was conducting a serious mission briefing in the briefing room.
This time, pilots from Gensokyo dispatched en masse.
By the way, as an elite, Gensokyo is not that big in scale. There are only eighteen combat aircraft in the entire base and there are no reserves. The entire base's flying force is divided into five squadrons, including two three-aircraft squadrons and four-aircraft squadrons.
There are two squadrons and two twin squadrons. In total, it can be considered a normal-sized flying group.
After Wang Yu and his team members came to the briefing room, they found that all the team members in Gensokyo were waiting in the briefing room.
A mission that requires so many elite pilots to perform must not be an easy mission.
Speaking of which, for the imperial military, the most important thing these days is probably the Aisian drone swarm and air fortress, so this time everyone was suddenly called here to wait for orders, Wang Yu immediately guessed
Could this mission be related to the two super weapons of the Aisians?
For example, you need to launch a surprise attack and then destroy it or face a large number of drone attacks.
But when Wang Yu heard the mission briefing, he realized that he was overthinking it.
"We have no further information about the enemy's air fortress and drone swarm for the time being, so you should stop making wild guesses."
It seems that there are many people with similar ideas to Wang Yu, so the officer in charge of the briefing specifically told you not to overthink: "However, this mission is not simpler than you imagined, so the command will let you do this.
Detachment of troops will take over."
This mission is a raid and sea attack mission.
"Remember the Aisiya fleet that you have been harassing before? Yes, the target this time is them, but of course they are not the only ones."
The officer clicked twice on the computer in front of him and projected a topographic map of the sea area onto the big screen.
"We have just confirmed that just two hours ago, the Asia aircraft carrier fleet that you harassed finally ended their escape for several days. The entire fleet sailed into their Crown Bay anchorage on the King's Peninsula on the west coast of the Southern Continent. Currently, you can see
What arrived was the satellite image just obtained... Well, here is the Kestrel aircraft carrier of the Asiatics. They have just passed the cross-sea bridge at the entrance of Crown Bay and are following the guidance ship to sail towards the port.
.”
The officer pointed to the picture on the big screen and introduced the topography of Crown Bay to everyone present.
This picture is a relatively clear satellite picture. From the picture, you can see the bay. The shape of the bay is a bit like a crown in the traditional sense. On the seaside side is an opening about three kilometers wide.
The side close to the land is an uneven and twisted coastline. This coastline has a zigzag trend, like the "point" at the top of the crown.
And this is where the name Crown Bay comes from.
There are three such sharp angles in total, but only the sharp angle bay in the middle has been built into a military port - a large amount of infrastructure can be seen from the satellite image, and Asia's warships can also be seen anchored in the port.
However, since the satellite images have not been enlarged, the identities of these warships are not yet known.
At the seaside entrance of Crown Bay, there is a cross-sea bridge connecting the two sides. It seems that in response to the name of Crown Bay, this bridge is called the King's Bridge.
In short, the satellite just captured the scene of the Asia fleet passing under the bridge and entering Crown Bay.
According to the empire's intelligence, Crown Bay is an overseas military port in Asia, responsible for providing necessary supplies and anchorage to the West Coast fleet of the Asiatics, and it is also a distribution center for materials and ammunition.
To summarize - the very important Asia base.
The officer finished his introduction to Crown Bay and then began to explain the purpose of the mission.
"Esia's fleet was harassed by you all the way and finally returned to their home port. Crown Bay was surrounded by Asia's anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles like an iron barrel. Therefore, when the fleet returns to its home port, the Asia people can escape from
After several days of fear and mental tension, we are relieved - and what we want to catch is the Asian people's short-term laxity."
The officer clicked on the harbor position on the screen with his baton: "Our Stonehenge is located in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by sea. Whoever controls the sea has the initiative, so as long as Asia's fleet still exists, even if
They are still anchored in Crown Bay, which will also pose a serious threat to us - so, here is the time for you to appear, launch a surprise raid, smash their harbor, sink their warships, and completely eliminate Asia
The Fleet’s Threat to Stonehenge.”
The superiors' thoughts are easy to understand. Asia has a total of two aircraft carrier battle groups in this ocean. Now one of them has been severely damaged due to a naval battle with the empire's fleet, and it cannot exert its combat effectiveness in a short period of time. And the other one has been severely damaged due to a naval battle with the empire's fleet.
One force did not suffer much loss of combat power. As long as they were resupplied a little, they could still become a hidden danger that could threaten Stonehenge.
Therefore, once the combat capability of this aircraft carrier battle group is lifted, it means that the empire has complete control of the sea in this area - Asia is not without other aircraft carrier fleets, but other fleets are on the other side of the coastline.
If you want to move around, you have to go around to the southern side of the continent in the southern hemisphere. This trip will take less than a month and a half.
After the introduction of the officer's mission background, there is free time for questions.
After the pilots present thought for a moment, they understood that this mission would never be as simple as what the officer introduced.
Once you think about it, you can understand that it is impossible for the Aisians to be defenseless. Even if the officers and soldiers in the fleet are relaxed because of their arrival in the port, the defensive strength of Crown Bay still exists. According to the defense strength of the empire's overseas military ports, it is estimated that
If you want to use fighter planes to attack the port, you must break through the four air barriers of "air superiority aircraft interception - long-range anti-aircraft missiles - medium-range anti-aircraft missiles and short-range anti-aircraft guns". To put it simply, it is lethal-level anti-aircraft firepower.
"I don't think raids are that simple."
The captain of Gensokyo was the first to speak: "When we are very far away, we will be discovered by the Asia people's radar, and they will have enough time to prepare for the battle, so when we rush into the vicinity of Crown Bay, we will face the enemy.
The opposite will be a large amount of 'unfriendly' anti-aircraft firepower. With that kind of intensity of defense, it will be difficult for us to even protect ourselves, let alone complete the attack."
Not to mention that the Gensokyo base does not have all stealth fighters. Even if the stealth fighters come here, they cannot guarantee that the entire situation will not be discovered in the face of Asia's numerous radar nets.
"Of course it's impossible for you to go to Crown Bay alone. It's no different from dying. In fact, this is what I'm going to say next. This mission is a joint attack mission, and your mission is just a part of the whole mission.
"
The officer cleared his throat and prepared to start a long speech: "First of all, you must know that I am talking about joint missions, not coordinated missions, so look around for a few people from other troops. You can turn back and listen to me continue - joint missions are not
You need to work together to execute it, but different troops will complete a series of task processes according to a strict plan. During the whole process, different troops do not need to communicate, which is why only you are here to conduct the briefing."
"Then it seems that there are other troops clearing the way for us to attack?"
"Yes, because of the critical situation, China has authorized us to use all means except intercontinental missiles or nuclear weapons, so this mission will include strategic bomber groups and electronic warfare units departing from China."
The officer clicked on the screen and switched to a screen. There were two pictures on the screen, one was a B-2 bomber, and the other was an electronic warfare aircraft that Wang Yu had never heard of.
There is no doubt about the former. Even if a stealthy high-altitude and high-speed bomber cannot fly over Crown Bay to drop bombs, it can still attack the defense positions of Crown Bay without anyone noticing.
"Bombers, they are carrying out an intercontinental mission. They will take off from China and then return directly to the mainland after carrying out the mission. At this time, they, um, let me look at the time... they should have just set off from China at this time and are already on the way.
It will carry a large amount of ammunition across the ocean and launch a saturation attack on the defensive positions and radar information network in Crown Bay that have been determined by our intelligence. At the same time, graphite bombs will be used to paralyze the enemy's information as much as possible.
chain system.”
"Since stealth bombers, a strategic weapon no less important than intercontinental missiles, have been dispatched, why can't we just let the bombers blow up Asia's fleet?"
"Our mission is not only to destroy Asia's fleet, but also to destroy important targets in this harbor." The officer narrowed his eyes: "This is undoubtedly a complex mission, so it is impossible for the bombers to abandon the more important target - the fact
On the island, this harbor is the material distribution center of Asia. According to the speculation of superiors, in addition to the supply warehouse, this may be the anchorage of the mothership of Asia's drone group. Compared with the fleet, these targets and the destruction of Crown Bay itself are
Defense is more important."
The person who asked the question nodded. Compared with the bomb load and aggressiveness, these multi-purpose fighter jets are indeed not as suitable as their full-time strategic bombers.
"As for the other unit, you have also seen it, the electronic warfare unit."
The officer continued: "The electromagnetic interference created by several electronic warfare aircraft can suppress enemy data transmission throughout Crown Bay, greatly weakening the enemy's air defense capabilities, and creating a combat advantage for you. During the mission, these electronic warfare aircraft will have the opportunity to
They will remain around you at all times and hover high in the sky, but they will not descend to dangerous heights or directly participate in the battle, and will only exist as a support force."
Wang Yu nodded subconsciously.
As a pilot, he first hates air defense positions, and secondly, he hates non-friendly electronic warfare aircraft.
Once these guys who play e-sports (I'm sure) get started, they can destroy half of the fighter plane's advanced radar, and bring the battle that could have been resolved dozens of kilometers away to a few kilometers away.
Not to mention the role they can play in suppressing enemy electronic defense positions.
It's just a pity that electronic warfare aircraft is only a part of electronic warfare after all. It is difficult to achieve full-channel blocking and interference against an existence like Asia by relying on this alone.
However, for the Gensokyo brigade that wants to attack Crown Bay, as long as the electronic warfare aircraft can briefly suppress their information exchange and make their remaining radar positions and the enemy aircraft taking off to attack are dizzy for ten minutes, they will be able to break in.
The troops at Crown Bay offer ample advantages.
Several more people raised some questions about the joint nature of the operation, and the officers also gave answers one by one.
Afterwards, everyone stopped having questions about the general direction and began to ask questions about some details of the mission, such as the order of the attack, the primary and secondary targets, etc. But no matter what, the attack mission was determined.
The task time is scheduled to start at 5:00 in the morning.
Mission code name, "Song of the Siren".
"Phew, raiding a harbor in the early morning." Wang Yu complained: "Attack the facilities of the harbor and destroy the fleet parked in the harbor. This style of painting always feels like a very subtle sense of déjà vu. I don't think the mission code is necessary.
What is it called Siren's Song? Wouldn't it be better to just call it 'Climbing the New Peak'? It would be better if Captain Zhang yells 'Tiger Tiger Tiger' when the raid is successful..."
