The next day, Wang Yu and Liu Lingxin appeared in the briefing room on time.
There is already a major officer waiting here in advance. On the large screen full of cards in the briefing room of Shadao Base, he has logged into the tactical mission system. In the center of the large screen is an Imperial Air Force military emblem spinning. "Exactly on time, please take your seat as soon as possible."
The major simply skipped the process of saluting each other. He waved to the two of them, and then switched the screen to himself, allowing a high-definition satellite map of the mainland to appear on the screen.
Then he turned around and saw Wang Yu and Liu Lingxin sitting in the front row, and nodded with satisfaction.
"We'll start the mission briefing now."
On the screen behind him, the scale of the map that originally showed an entire continent changed, and it "focused" on an area in the middle of the continent. The specific conditions of this area were expanded and enlarged, and the more worthy of attention were
Information - special signs such as roads and fixed buildings are displayed. At the same time, there are some red and blue marks distributed in different locations in the area. The blue ones represent your own people and the red ones represent possible threats. At the same time, several pictures, a table and several sets of data appeared next to the map.
Wang Yu looked at it carefully and found that these pictures were some distinctive photos, showing the regional terrain, environment and some information about his own people. The table showed the local real-time weather and some useful information based on air pressure and cloud height.
Parameters and data are the specific coordinates of different landmark points, and thin lines are used to connect different locations on the map.
This is simply a very detailed display of information, coupled with the intelligent identification and annotation function and the acquisition of information from the entire military network, which can allow those who receive the mission briefing to quickly understand the general mission background and mission location.
This tactical mission system is one of the newly developed information systems of the Imperial Air Force. It was specially developed for the Air Force by a large military industrial enterprise called "Polaris United Industries". It is currently only in trial operation in a small number of bases and has not yet had time to be promoted.
To the entire army - in short, the digitalization of this system is fully developed, allowing people to see the dawn of future technology.
When Wang Yu saw this scene, he recalled that the forest farm base was still using a basic system. During that actual combat mission, they were still conducting mission briefings in a way similar to PPT...
Well, I can only say that there is no harm without comparison.
Wang Yu's thoughts wandered slightly for a moment, and then he pulled him back.
He carefully looked at the displayed map area, which showed a relatively desolate area in the central part of the continent.
The center of the area is a town. The area is not large. The total area of the town is even smaller than the sand island where they are currently. The buildings are mainly composed of a small number of buildings and a large number of bungalows and shanties. Wang Yu couldn't help but wonder when he saw it.
I thought of the "war-damaged style of Iraqi refugee camps" that is deep in my memory...
Yes, to put it simply, this is a small town with a typical Middle Eastern style.
The east side of the town is an undulating hilly area, with a road running through it. The blue mark representing friendly forces is on this road. On the west side of the town, there is a flat Gobi, and the satellite image is all yellow.
, showing the dryness and desolation of this area, the road where the friendly forces are located bypasses the outside of the town, and then goes straight into the Gobi.
"What you are seeing now is the execution area of this mission." The major left the two of them for a while to let them read the contents of the briefing system. After about three minutes, he started to explain, "This is the middle of the continent.
Diat Gobi/the edge of the desert, and the road you are seeing now is one of the few roads that can cross the Gobi and subsequent deserts. The town you can see is a very common settlement on the edge of the Gobi.
District."
The Diat Gobi is a large wasteland located in the middle of the continent. It covers a very large area. Only a small part of the empire's actual control area in this area has oil and mineral resources. Most of the area is still in uncontrolled chaos.
Status.
The major briefly talked about the background of this area, and then he began to explain the mission.
"The blue marks you see are friendly units. This is an armed transport convoy. Their mission is to transport supplies along the road through the Diat Gobi to the imperial development facilities in the southwest Gobi. But they want
Entering the Gobi, you must approach the town currently displayed on the map - as you all know, this is not the actual control area of the empire. This town is currently controlled by a group of local warlords. If our convoy approaches, then
It is possible to be threatened by them. After all, although this is an armed transport convoy, in order to travel long distances, the only weapons in the convoy are some Humvees."
"Do they have the guts to rob the empire's transport fleet?" Liu Lingxin asked curiously.
"The area they are in is short of supplies, and a convoy carrying such a large amount of supplies will definitely give them evil thoughts." The major explained simply, "As for these warlords, they don't care whether the convoy belongs to the empire or not.
”
"Well, if they really dare to rob, I respect their courage."
Liu Lingxin complained.
The major didn't pay attention to Liu Lingxin's words: "The problem is that the key now is not what action we will take after they rob the convoy, but that we cannot allow any damage to this convoy. Therefore, the superiors decided that we need to deal with this convoy."
The convoy will be provided with necessary escort when passing near this town."
"Does this require us to patrol the air and perform CAS (close air support) missions when necessary?"
Wang Yu listened for a long time before asking.
"Yes, that's exactly it." The major nodded, "The overwhelming power possessed by the fighter jets is something that the warlords cannot resist. More importantly, this warlord does not have any air power, and our intelligence also shows that they are against
The air defense means are limited to individual air defense missiles, mainly the Stinger, so the power of one fighter plane is enough."
Wang Yu frowned. It was hard for him to imagine the appearance of fighter jets escorting the convoy. Did his superiors make a mistake?
Could it be that when soldiers attacked the convoy, he swooped down and bombed them indiscriminately?
If this is true, it would be completely off the mark.
Judging from the power of aerial bombs, if we really do this, not only will the enemy who attacked the convoy be shattered to pieces, but even the convoy will probably have to fly together on a ground plane.
But the major's next words answered his doubts.
"Of course, you are not responsible for escorting the convoy into the Gobi at close range. There will be two armed helicopters to perform this task, and they will protect the safety of the convoy.
Your mission is to deter the warlords in this town. If the deterrence is ineffective, you will carry out precise strikes on some targets that we have identified, and destroy their command systems and strongholds to make these desperadoes
They have no time to take care of our convoy - last night, we had a paratrooper unit that arrived in the town area by airdrop. They will provide you with the necessary guidance and assistance when you perform your mission."
Just translate it briefly.
Fighter planes must first fly over the town in a show of force. If the warlord's troops still insist on seizing the empire's transport convoy, then the fighter planes will conduct operations like surgery on some of the warlord's important targets with the help of ground guidance.
A precise strike like a knife, and during this process, the safety of the convoy will be protected by armed helicopters.
After listening to the major's brief mission introduction, Wang Yu understood the specific situation.
Now it’s no surprise.
However, in order to protect the convoy, this mission was full of the style of a big country.
Since there is a possibility that you may attack my convoy, in order to prevent this possibility from happening, we will simply make preparations first. However, the requirement of the mission is to put deterrence first, so it would be very polite of us not to attack this warlord directly.
.
Wang Yu briefly recorded it, and then asked: "We hope to get some more specific information."
"You will get it. A more detailed mission information has been sent to your personal terminal, including the specific time of the mission and weapon configuration." The major nodded, "If there are no problems, go ahead and prepare."
