Chapter 143 Preparations for Annihilation War
After a period of full-speed march, the second and fourth airdrop teams arrived at their respective rendezvous points.
The transport team waiting at the rendezvous point had no idea what was happening, and they couldn't help but be puzzled when they saw the fully staffed second airdrop team.
Despite their doubts, they drove the truck, preparing to deliver the second airdrop team to the second blocking position.
Then, led by the lead Warrior launcher, they arrived at the assembly point of the airdrop team 5 together with Transport Team 4.
In order not to attract the attention of the enemy, the unmanned combat aircraft swarm did not request support from Cleveland, which was located in the rear, through the air command node.
Multiple command nodes within the five airdrop combat groups began updating and adjusting subsequent operational plans through self-organizing networking.
After extensive comparison, simulation, and testing, the airdrop team selected a location that could encircle small and medium-sized enemy combat groups without being attacked by large enemy units.
This location is situated diagonally behind the original airdrop group's prepared blocking position, in a relatively wide valley.
The valley runs east-west and has several paths leading south. The slopes of the mountains on both sides are relatively gentle, and there is no terrain on the mountains that can be used as natural shelters, nor are there any sufficiently hard rocks.
The mountainside near the north is slightly higher than the mountainside near the south, and its shady side is somewhat rugged, but there are only some scattered shrubs and not much place to hide.
The top of the mountain is extremely flat, but there isn't much terrain to hide in either.
The north slope of the mountain is relatively gentle and covered with a large number of tall trees. When large enemy units climb from the north, the fallen trees serve as a final warning signal.
The southern side of the mountain is covered with trees on both sides, and the soil is relatively soft, making it easy to dig and build positions. It can also be used to construct communication trenches that facilitate concealment and relocation.
When the enemy's large units climbed up the northern hillside, preparing to strike the position, the unmanned combat swarm had already used the constructed trenches to complete its relocation.
After the battle location was decided, the command node began to allocate positions to each group.
The three largest groups served as the main force, responsible for striking the enemy on the front lines; the second and fourth groups used the paths on the southern mountainside to harass the enemy continuously and draw their attention; the fifth group remained as a reserve force, building positions on the necessary route for the combat groups to withdraw, ready to support the second, third, and fourth groups at any time.
After the positions were allocated, the command node selected all the indirect fire groups of Groups 2 and 4, as well as some of the indirect fire groups of Group 3, to form a separate indirect fire strike formation.
Subsequently, the command node divided this single fire strike group into two groups, which were dispersed and deployed on the east and west sides.
This setup is designed to ensure that the strike range covers the entire battlefield, and also to prevent the strike group from being completely wiped out by a single wave of enemy fire.
After the operational group was reorganized, the command node sent the updated operational information to the transport team's communication terminal via a short-range data link.
Looking at the updated combat information, the transport team began to regroup and familiarize themselves with their routes using the map.
Five minutes later, the transport team boarded the trucks and waited for the unmanned combat swarm to complete boarding.
They will soon set off towards the valley behind them, led by the launch vehicle, according to the updated groupings.
Once the unmanned combat group had completed boarding, the command node transmitted the updated combat plan back to the command center in the rear via an airborne command aircraft.
After receiving the information from the unmanned combat group, Lorraine fired three more Shadow II loitering munitions. He then looked at the map for a moment, considered the situation, and activated four heavy bunker-buster missiles, two Changkong-125 anti-ship missiles, and one Changkong-26 anti-ship missile.
Type of anti-ship missile.
Subsequently, Lorraine sent a message to the airborne command aircraft via a communications relay drone.
Half an hour later, the communication relay drone carrying information entered the data link communication range of the airborne command aircraft.
Record the infrared signature of large enemy targets and prepare to use radio guidance to guide missiles for strikes.
】
After receiving the message, the airborne command aircraft sent a message to the unmanned combat group below, and then began to climb. After reaching its maximum altitude, it flew towards the mine.
Once the large enemy unit enters the operational range of the electro-optical pod, the pod begins operation, collecting detailed infrared signature signals of the large enemy unit.
The command aircraft then turned to the initial position of the second airdrop team, preparing to search for enemy units hiding in the shadows of the trees.
[Synthetic Aperture Radar powered on, ready to receive echoes.]
After the command aircraft circled the initial position of the second airdrop group, it successfully located the enemy unit hiding in the shadows of the trees, thanks to the synthetic aperture radar's ability to effectively identify camouflage and penetrate cover. It obtained several high-resolution radar images similar to optical photography.
The AI onboard the command aircraft began analyzing the enemy's intentions based on these images.
The enemy units are preparing to go into a defensive posture, and their forces are dispersed. We need to take the initiative to attack and lure them into our pre-set positions.
After the analysis was completed, the command aircraft returned to the pre-designated position and relayed the assessment to the unmanned combat group below that was constructing shelters.
Upon receiving the information, the command node utilizes the computing power of the ad hoc network to calculate how to efficiently lure the enemy to our pre-set positions and reinforce their combat intentions.
Calculations showed that to achieve this goal, the unmanned combat swarm needed to demonstrate firepower capable of sustaining a threat to large individuals.
After obtaining the results, the unmanned combat group sent the conclusion to the command aircraft, which then relayed the information back to the command center.
Upon receiving this information, Lorraine instructed Cleveland to calculate the required firepower intensity to achieve this objective based on the available information.
While waiting for Cleveland to complete the calculations, Lorraine input the infrared signature information of the large enemy targets transmitted back from the command aircraft into the three already activated anti-ship missiles.
[Conclusion: Without triggering high alert among large enemy units, our forces will need to employ at least three waves of air strikes, each wave requiring at least three Shadow II large loitering munitions and 60 anti-tank loitering munitions.]
[There are currently two drones in the airspace carrying a total of 72 anti-tank loitering munitions, as well as five Shadow II large loitering munitions in cruise mode.]
"Start setting up the strike plan, with the requirement that: large enemy units be forced to take the initiative to attack while the enemy combat group is being surrounded and annihilated, so as to provide fire support for the enemy combat group."
