Chapter 15 Hunting(1/2)
()
In fact, the atmosphere in the "upper level" command of Gwangju's combat operations is far less relaxed than the grassroots guards usually imagined.
Moreover, it is not just the heavy atmosphere, but it is almost the same as when they face each other's swords.
Why?
The reason is very simple. What everyone is facing this time is a "retreatment battle".
For example, when the United Nations forces withdrew to other bases in East Asia, some departments of the Mid-American army directly withdrew to their homeland, sent troops to withdraw to Yamato Island, and unified China Front to withdraw to Taiwan Island.
However, the army has nowhere to "retreat".
The Korean Peninsula is the hometown of people. If this battle is successfully completed, there will be no North Korea in the future, only countless refugees - of course, if everyone is pushed by beta together, there will be nothing in the future.
Therefore, the Korean army is unwilling to withdraw from the bottom of their hearts. Even if the army is willing to withdraw, the people who have lived on this peninsula for generations are unwilling to withdraw... Who will solve this problem? How to solve it?
The last, the most critical and difficult issue, even if the "supervisors" of several parties are unwilling to be involved, they will eventually be discussed on the table:
Who will cut off the rear?
The troops left behind are basically at the level of ten deaths and no life, but even if the selected soldiers have this enlightenment, it is still a different story to say whether they have the corresponding abilities.
For example, the South Korean army that collapsed first in the Tieyuan blockade must not be expected. China, which has strong cooperation with the South Korean army for a long time, does have certain conditions, but what does the whole thing have to do with them? Carrying a few more ships to Taiwan Island is just a matter of countless mouths to eat.
Relatively speaking, the Mi army is much more active. After all, they were originally going to withdraw themselves and they were not relieved if they could not guarantee safety. But as mentioned earlier, the Mi army will face a long journey across the entire Pacific Ocean. If the demolition of pots and pots will die halfway, it will not be good, so everyone knows that they are just pretending to be active.
So we have to discuss, study, discuss, discuss, weigh the trade-offs, compare and consider, observe and observe, look again, think again, wait... It's a pity that people can wait, beta cannot wait.
Since the completion of the Tetrawon Hive, the East Asian Joint Forces on the Korean Peninsula have to further implement a much more frequent gradual combat than before.
The so-called gradual combat is simply to prevent the accumulation of too many betas produced in Hive, and humans take active attacks and other tactical measures to carry out fragmented tactical behaviors.
This kind of combat is relatively suitable for newcomers. After all, if the recruits are involved in the hive strategy battle or beta crew blocking battle, they are undoubtedly committing a blatant murder.
The battle scale is small, the number of enemy betas is relatively small, the combat environment is relatively familiar and free... The War Owo Squadron took the initiative to apply for relevant tasks the day after landing on the Korean Peninsula, and of course it was quickly approved.
So a few hours after the gradual reduction of combat order was issued, the squadron's 12 units hit the shock and flew over the Gwangju defense line in a vertical formation and headed straight to the predetermined position of the combat.
The first battle opponents suitable for three veterans and nine new recruits are usually betas of the wing level. As a tactical aircraft unit, the actual combat goal of Yiyu Squadron is just dozens of light levels hidden in the beta cluster - the number of betas of the wing scale multiplied by two percent, and the upper limit of the number of light types is about sixty. If the battlefield is added to be selected near the human defense line, the difficulty of this mission is at best medium.
This is for Yi Yuman.
For the two reincarnations, although they cannot use their bare hands to eliminate thousands of betas for analogy, the wing level is still a piece of cake for them. Even if the DG transformed body abilities are not included, isn’t it the same as playing between the two of them working together to kill dozens of light species?
But for the nine newcomers, including Susue Mizuki Suzumiya Harumiya, it is difficult to say very well. Those who have excellent grades in training may not be able to fully play out in actual combat. At least the most critical first game is the easiest to make people nervous.
"Fortunately, the screen is just pre-stored event images. Who knows if those young ladies will lose their composure like in the first history class when they see the actual battlefield flying with their own eyes..." Roger flew in front of the team while whispering.
"Retina, projection." At this unnecessary moment, I don't know why DG emerged again.
"...You jumped out to correct such a small detail?" If Roger had a way to attack DG directly, I believe he would have used the Type 87 assault gun.
"No, by the way." As if he realized that his speech was effective, dg returned to a state of silence in a flash.
So after Roger himself circled around his mind for a while, Lieutenant Yi Yu's voice finally came from the communication channel:
"War Otome 01 calls all the aircraft, and is close to the beta battle group, and the formation turns into a wedge-3 type, and 02 suddenly moves forward."
"02 Understand." The one who spoke in the channel was Susue Mizutsuki, who also served as the captain of the Avant-garde team.
Following right behind Susse Mizuki, of course Roger was Roger, and on both sides of him were the other two aircraft of Team A. After those two aircraft, two units of Team B were hit and followed sideways. "Does wedge three-type? I deliberately advanced the position of the defender Team C in the formation. Captain Yiyu's strategy is quite cautious."
Of course, this sentence was not said directly, and although Chen Yi, who is also a veteran, could not hear it, he obviously had a similar feeling. The formation chosen by Yi Yu was not suitable for purely breaking into the battle itself, but if it was based on protecting the newcomer, it would become a safe option.
"I am about to enter the heavy metal cloud diffusion zone, pay attention to the jumping flight altitude, and all aircraft cheer me up!"
Yi Yuman's tone increased a little, and the orders issued were nothing special. The 12 shocks of the squadron were all maintained at a flight altitude of less than 30 meters at this moment. Of course, the top of the tactical plane shall prevail. If the foot is thirty meters above the ground, then it is a self-inflicted light? It penetrates into the metal dust in an almost crawling posture.
"Report 02, an assault level appeared in 10 points ahead, with a number of about 200." Susse Mizuki, who was at the front of the queue, sent back the first report to encounter the enemy.
"01 Call each machine, turn to the direction of one o'clock, and go around in a circle."
It's really boring.
While faithfully following the squadron leader's instructions, Roger, who was doing nothing, continued to mutter. Even if he didn't want to alert the enemy, he wouldn't have to use a vertical circle of ninety degrees, right?
But there is no way to do this. Tactical aircraft is never used for frontal attacks. For example, the temporary encounter in Tieyuan's first battle, it is also said that even if it is the subsequent refugee rescue mission, theoretically, the tactical aircraft should adopt standard backward shooting tactics as soon as they encounter the enemy. For example, Roger and Chen Yi, who can directly drive the plane without success, is purely a foul.
In this gradual reduction operation, if the War Owo Squadron directly launches an attack on the assault level, it is certainly OK to destroy the more than 200 in front of him, but the remaining ammunition volume of each aircraft may not be able to support the light species in the hinterland of the beta cluster. If the details of fuel and other aspects are included... shouldn't it be necessary to drive such a bulky aircraft to fight?
While Roger, who used an inhuman perspective, made the above conclusion, the Wolf Women's Squadron had already bypassed two more rounds of attack levels and was now continuing to sneak towards a dense crowd of chariot levels.
It should be not far from the light type.
"There are a few people who want to hit the level and fighter level at the seven o'clock direction." Susai Mizuki's report came again.
Huh? Have you gone around your head?
Light species are a relatively fragile category in beta populations, and there are basically no other means of combat except for long-range attack capabilities. Therefore, there are often a large number of small species and several large species of beta around them to protect. If this habit is used to reverse the situation, the human tactical aircraft troops can relatively easily determine the location of the hunting target when heavy metal dust causes a sharp reduction in radar function.
The best example is now.
After receiving the report from Suse, Captain Isumi issued an attack order almost without stopping.
Team a has fully opened its four-machine engine and rushed straight to the level.
During the charge, these four shocks did not fire easily. The light type mark appeared on the radar, which also means that the tactical aircraft would be locked by the light type at any time. At this time, it is necessary to make full use of beta and never injure the same habits, so as to protect large types such as strike level as a cover to avoid linear exposure of the light level.
Similarly, the BC team cannot launch a support shelling immediately at this time, otherwise unless the light level is completely destroyed, it will only clear the other party's radiation obstacles.
"02 Call 01, light level confirmation, about 30." Almost at the same time as the Type 87 assault gun was fired in his hand, Susai Mizuki reported it to Isumima again.
The number is wrong, this is Roger's first reaction after hearing Sose's voice on the channel.
Of course, the 36mm machine cannon in his hand did not stop firing, but the number of light types in front of him was obviously small, and it was not even enough for the Avant-garde team to attack. This was not normal. He even solicited DG's opinions and confirmed that there was indeed no other light types within a certain distance around him. Then - "01 called all aircraft, the information was wrong, and today's enemy was not only at the wing level." Yi Yuman's judgment was not much slower than Roger. "So now I solicited opinions from all aircraft, should I continue to carry out the mission?"
"Continue!" "Continue."
As usual, the fastest answer was Susse and Roger. At this moment, all the small species near the light level were wiped out.
Then there was Chen Yi's lazily continuing option, and Zong Simi Sae was about half a second slower than him.
Further ahead are Haruka Suzumiya, Shiko Kazuma, and other squadron members.
All pass, the task continues.
During the democratic voting process, all the lights have gone to heaven.
"Each aircraft reports on the condition of ammunition and fuel."
"02 reply, ammunition is about 85%, fuel is 80%..." This is Susai Mizuki. According to the standards of a newcomer, this consumption is quite excellent.
"03 reply, ammunition is 96%, fuel is 89%. This is Chen Yi, needless to say, he basically didn't fire a few shots.
"04 reply, ammunition is 92%, fuel is 91%. This is Roger. He doesn't fire too much, and it is obvious that he is lazy and tricky when moving tactical aircraft. Oh no, it should be said that as a veteran, he pays great attention to saving.
"06 reply, ammunition is 98%, fuel is 87%. "This is Haruka Suzumiya, so Lieutenant Isumi's orders come one after another: "The whole team turns to the direction of five o'clock and continues to move at low altitude. Next time, the enemy will be bombarded from 03. 02, 04 to ensure the coordinates are lowered."
"03 Understand." Chen Yi is the captain of the C team in the middle of the squadron formation at this moment. Yi Yu's order just now obviously not only made him only one strike and fire, but also let the entire C team, which focuses on artillery fire, use long-range attacks to attract beta.
Due to previous intelligence errors, the current War Owo Squadron cannot accurately count the number of betas on the opposite side. Of course, the only way to take the initiative to test. Ordering the artillery squadron to open fire alone is a common feint tactic. Lieutenant Yisu's judgment is still calm and objective, which is a good thing.
"Of course it's a good thing. If the situation worsens so much that Chen Yi and I got off the plane and fought again, are you sure to block the senses of the ten people who fell behind?" Although the situation has been very good so far, Roger has to make the worst plans first. After all, the number of betas is still "unknown". It would be fine if there is only one corps, but if there is one more brigade, it would be too late to regret it.
But DG obviously ignored it, "In each tactical aircraft, theoretical reserves, sedatives, quantity three, anesthetics, quantity zero."
"I'm asking you to prepare to save people, not asking you to use medicine to kill them."
"Tsk..."
"Hey, your intentions are too obvious!"
“…”
DG fell into silence again, and at the same time, beta groups appeared in front of the Otome Squadron.
Assault level, 300.
Sure enough, the information was wrong. It seemed that the two batches of beta formations were mixed together due to unknown reasons.
However, the number is still within the allowable range, and the C team led by Chen Yi easily handled the assault level. Immediately afterwards, the whole team was in charge of Yi Yu and was attracted to nearly a thousand betas nearby. Based on this number, the beta group in front of him did not reach the brigade level scale.
"02 call 01, the source direction of the second batch of beta has been determined."
"War the Owo Girls Squadron, straight attack!"
The subsequent combat process was much smoother. After nearly a hundred lights were completely extinguished under the artillery fire of the entire squadron, Lieutenant Yiyu immediately provided the artillery strike coordinates to the rear.
The next gradual combat has entered the final stage. Although there are many remaining betas, ordinary heavy artillery bombardment after losing the light species is enough to deal with them. Therefore, the mission of the War Owo Squadron has come to an end.
All twelve aircraft returned.
"Sedatives, three quantities..."
"Are you still unwilling to give up?"
After the operation report of this operation was uploaded to the coalition command, the already depressed atmosphere between the top leaders fluctuated again.
The reason is very simple. The number of beta infringes exceeds expectations is not a simple intelligence error!
The increase in the number of "scattered" betas in front of Gwangju's defense line, in addition to meaning that the production of Tetrahara Hive may exceed expectations, is likely to indicate that the beta side is ready to launch a large-scale attack on Gwangju.
The current UN military retreat plan has not even been discussed... "Everyone, you don't really want to bury everyone in Gwangju here now, right?" I don't know how many times it has issued a similar warning.
To be continued...
