Sireth City, Xicheng District, Angel's Covenant Air Combat Regiment Temporary Headquarters.

The commanders of the twelve air combat regiments gathered together in this two-story building, each holding a summary of the battle situation compiled by the Secret Key Division and issued by the General Staff Division, and sat on their chairs with a frown, and no one would speak first.

Thracian Casitamira finally couldn't bear the dreary atmosphere anymore, patted the arm of the chair, and said, "Hey! You have to find a way to come out, right? ”

"Shhhh It's really lying down and talking without back pain! ”

"That's it! Thrace was right! You can't keep putting it off like this! Kasai, who is the commander-in-chief of the air combat unit and the commander of the 1st Air Combat Regiment, spoke, "Vice Chairman Bell is still waiting!" ”

The name that came out of Kasai's mouth made everyone present shudder, if Raphael's style is gentle and drizzle, to convince people, then the style of the bell is to be vigorous and resolute, and to say the same!

"It's been almost three hours since the battle began, and the average number of sorties has reached 2.2, but the result is less than 300 griffins, at this rate, let alone twelve hours, even twelve more hours is not enough!" Kasai said depressedly.

"Why don't you apply to the vice president and see if you can extend the time a little, twelve hours is really not enough!" Someone spoke.

In an instant, everyone present turned their eyes on him, causing the proposer to subconsciously shrink into his chair.

"Why don't you go and plead with Vice President Bell?"

"Captain Kasai, stop kidding! I'll go, the vice president will definitely bury me alive! "The proposer's head is about to glow with an illusion.

Diana Moonlight sighed, she was the commander of the 3rd Air Combat Regiment, because of Tania's existence, she had always been second only to Kasai in influence among the top echelons of these air combat units: "Why don't you let other regiments that didn't participate in the battle support first?" If three more regiments can join the battle, it may be possible to complete this task within the allotted time! ”

"Chief Diana, do you mean we're lazy?" The commander of the Ninth Regiment, Ming Yedao, immediately stood up and said, "Compared to you, we are going to carry out a bombing mission!" Judging by previous statistics, the death rate in air combat is 3.9, and the death rate in bombing is 3 times that number! If the number of deaths is wasted in air combat, what do you let us use to complete the bombing mission? ”

The mortality rate is the most intuitive number used by the Angel's Covenant to represent the danger of air combat, which is calculated by dividing the number of sorties by the number of deaths, and the death rate of air combat is 3.9, which refers to the process of fighting for air supremacy, players need to be dispatched 3.9 times for each death, and correspondingly, the mortality rate of players who perform bombing missions is as high as 1.3, that is, they have to die almost once.

This is because when fighting for air supremacy, you can control the width and height of the battlefield to eliminate the danger posed by the enemy's ground firepower to air combat players. During bombing operations, because the attack targets are mainly important targets such as teleportation arrays or enemy ground forces, the altitude of the player's flight generally does not exceed 100 meters, which makes them have to brave ground anti-aircraft fire, and the death rate has increased significantly.

So far, almost every player has come to the realization that dying 5 times in 24 hours is already the psychological limit of most players, which is not only because of the oppression and influence of death on the spirit, but also because of the large consumption of soul energy caused by death.

According to statistics, less than 10% of people who die 5 times in 6 hours will lose their soul energy cap, but after this number, the probability of soul energy loss will increase dramatically.

The Angel's Covenant is not a black-hearted coal mine, let alone a criminal institution that kills people and overshoots, this kind of thing that may lead to damage to the player's soul energy limit, Raphael has always been strongly opposed, so there is a clear rule in the air combat group, that is, the maximum number of sorties per player within 6 hours shall not exceed 3, if you need to make additional sorties in addition to this number, you need to voluntarily participate in the player, and the union will pay three times the wartime bonus to the player. If a fifth sortie is required, not only the player's willingness, but also the signature of the commander of the air combat regiment to which the player is located, and the wartime bonus and death compensation paid will also be increased to ten times.

This number cannot exceed 6 times, and after 6 sorties, the player will be forced to quit the battle sequence and will not be able to rejoin the battle until 24 hours later. The fewer sorties, the shorter the corresponding "idle" time.

It is precisely because of this hard and fast rule that the Angel's Covenant can attract a large number of elite air combat players, because they feel respect for themselves and the protection of their lives here, rather than wasting them like a prop and not cherishing it.

Diana opened her mouth, but couldn't refute it. Compared with the struggle for air supremacy, the danger of carrying out bombing missions is significantly higher, especially in places like Aston City, where there are more than 100,000 rebel ground troops, plus thousands of city defense equipment, and dozens of arrow towers and guard towers. Aston City is a death trap for players on bombing missions, and the chances of getting out alive are simply non-existent.

And it is for this reason that Bell threw a whole five regiments into the bombing mission in one go, and for this reason, she was even mentally prepared to lose all these five regiments, which means that in the next bombing, the mortality rate of these five regiments will reach 1, and the total number of deaths will even exceed 600.

"What then? If air supremacy cannot be obtained within 12 hours, the bombing will not be carried out at all, and no one will have to guard against volleys from the air while braving anti-aircraft fire from the ground! The heavy black eagle doesn't have much mobility at all, and it can't even escape when it encounters a griffin! Someone complained.

The fourth-generation heavy air combat equipment "Black Eagle" was developed for the purpose of airport defense and ground bombing, because these two missions do not require high flight altitude, and players will hardly fight at an altitude of more than 100 meters, so Black Eagle abandoned a large number of jet arrays, at the cost of losing speed and mobility, in exchange for additional magazine capacity, as well as protection capabilities. The Black Eagle has a standard ammo configuration of 72 Mana Explosives, or 12 Large Georefined Gold Explosives, and the protective magic array carved on the outside of the equipment allows the Black Eagle to withstand up to three large fireballs.

Even so, players only dare to use the Black Eagle for bombing missions when they have full air supremacy, because the flight speed of this heavy air combat equipment is so poor that the top speed is almost one-third of that of a griffin, and even a gargoyl can easily catch up with the Black Eagle.

Kasai slapped the table, stood up and said, "It's all this time, if you have any means, don't hide it!" One group can also draw five additional groups from the ground crew, plus me, there are still six groups of people! ”

The meaning of this means that the air combat group has been desperate, although the ground crew players will also have some air combat skills, and even because they often maintain air combat equipment, they are more proficient than ordinary air combat players in manipulating these equipment, but they have obvious deficiencies in combat skills, otherwise they will not do ground work.

"I can draw three more groups here." Diana chimed in, "I can only be a living target when I go to heaven." ”

With Kasai taking the lead, the others finally stopped pushing back, you out of two groups, I out of three groups, and in the end they even made up the size of a whole regiment. Of course, it is very doubtful whether its real combat effectiveness can be comparable to that of an air combat regiment.

"In addition to that, I think the most elite teams of the seven regiments that have already been put into battle should be drawn out and organized into a safari force! Instead of wasting time and ammunition on ordinary targets, this unit should focus on eliminating the elite griffons that are more evolved and stronger, and the rangers can move freely in all airspace to target any target that appears on the battlefield and evolves above the Red Flame Griffin! Kasai continued.

"Seconded!" "Seconded!" "Agreed!" "No problem!"

No one wants to face the bell's wrath, so they can only agree with Kasai's decision.

"Diana, I want Tania to be the commander of the safari force, what do you think?" Kasai said to Diana.

Diana shook her head: "I advise you that it's better not to do this!" Although that girl is very skilled, she is not a conductor. It's okay to make her a main attacker. ”

"And who do you think is suitable?"

"Anson Sue of the 605th Air Combat Regiment of the 605th Air Combat Regiment! I think he's the most suitable commander for the Safari Force. As far as I know, his group had the lowest loss rate of any air combat group. ”

"What do you think, Babahia?" Kasai asked Babahia, the commander of the Sixth Regiment.

Babaxia, who is a dwarf player, nodded: "No problem, I also think he is more suitable!" ”

"Then it's decided! A total of ten groups were drawn from each regiment to form a safari unit, with Lieutenant Anson Su of Group 605 as commander and Captain Tania Tiguraychav of Group 327 as the main attacker. Compilation changes must be completed within half an hour. At the same time, the airspace control teams were notified and asked to provide real-time intelligence support to the safari force at all times. Kasai stood up and said, "From now on, the command system is in charge of Captain Diana Moonlight, activate the backup take-off field, and order all ground crews to be in place immediately, and not to leave their posts without reason!" Clerk, the order is synchronously copied to the General Staff Division! ”

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, the document, drafted by Kasai and signed by the commanders of the twelve air combat regiments, appeared on the bell's desk.

"Hmph, if you don't force them, you won't fight hard! The president is just too indulgent of these guys! After reading it, the bell stuffed the document into the folder at hand.

Yue Lingxing asked worriedly, "Vice President, will this affect the follow-up battle?" If air supremacy is still not available after twelve hours, the bombing plan will have to be delayed, so that there will be no way to destroy the teleportation array under the cover of night. If you want to bomb again, you'll have to wait until tomorrow night. ”

The most important reason why the bell and the chief of staff have long taken the time factor into account, and the most important reason why the air combat units are required to complete the struggle for air supremacy within 12 hours is to provide better protection for the bombing troops; according to the plan, when the 12-hour air supremacy struggle is over, it will be exactly 9 o'clock in the evening, and with the help of night, the danger brought about by the rebels' ground anti-aircraft fire will be greatly weakened, which will make the death rate of the bombing troops drop a little and have a greater chance of completing the bombing mission.

Yue Lingxing was worried that if Kasai's order was followed, the air combat troops would still not be able to control the air, which would make the danger of night bombing rise sharply, and for the sake of the player's life, Bell had to postpone the bombing until the next day. And in one night, God knows how much support the rebels will be able to get from the teleportation array, and how many wounded griffons will be healed and able to return to the air battlefield.

Historically, the rebels lacked priests, so in many cases, heavily wounded enemies were considered incapacitated and not included in the relevant statistics and plans. This is especially true in air combat. For example, if a griffon is blown off by a mana missile and escapes, if the rebels have enough priests, the griffon will likely return to the battlefield after an hour or two, in which case the griffon will not be counted towards the fall count. If the rebels do not have enough priests, then this kind of injury will take at least six hours to recover with potions, and six hours is even enough time to end an air battle, so that even after the griffin recovers, it will not be able to affect the ownership of air supremacy, so the griffin will be counted in the number of downs and will be excluded from the statistics of the observation group.

And if the bombing cannot be carried out tonight, then after one night, I don't know how many griffins will regain their combat effectiveness and rejoin the air battlefield, and then they will have to fight for air supremacy again, so that the offensive of the ground forces will be constantly delayed.

"Don't worry, the president has already left me a few gifts before leaving, and one of them is about to be delivered!" Bell said confidently.

"Gifts?"

"Hmmm! In short, air supremacy must be seized within twelve hours! You go to the General Staff Department to urge, have you made a specific plan for the bombing at night? What important targets to bomb! The flight path of each regiment! Escort candidates! The configuration of ammunition! And the order of the bombing! All of this has to come up with a complete plan! ”

Facing the bell, Yue Lingxing didn't dare to relax a little: "Yes, vice president!" I'm going to go to the General Staff Department to urge it! ”

"Remember! This is the first large-scale appearance of our Angelic Covenant! In the past, whether it was attacking the province of Venerberion or attacking the city in the sky, it was at best just a training exercise, and this war is an opportunity to test the results! Don't let the president down, and don't let the audience down! If we want to continue to stand at this top, we must show the corresponding strength! ”
