My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1171 - 1078: Heavy Losses! Situation Critical!
Barling Base.
The comprehensive command hall of the warzone’s command center is located deep underground.
Protected by extremely thick reinforced concrete and protective steel plates, it can withstand the attack of heavy-duty bunker-busting missiles.
However...
Inside this extremely secure command hall, Leader Padding Shayol suddenly felt it was too unsafe.
Because on the ultra-large operational situation screen in front of him, many screens suddenly went black.
Previously, this large screen displayed many real-time dynamic situations from the front line.
This operation deployed numerous reconnaissance satellites and communication satellites responsible for overall situational awareness, communication relay, and precision weapon guidance.
Multiple large early warning aircraft and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were also dispatched, responsible for battlefield intelligence gathering and coordination between air and ground operations.
At the same time, participating combat units would relay the front-line situations in real-time, similar to live broadcast.
Looking at the whole world, only the Star Federation could suddenly initiate a large-scale regional war and achieve such a high concentration of information, real-time sharing of battle situations, and efficient communication and command.
The forward base established at Baldet Airport even allowed the command center to see the situation within the airport and the surrounding segmented enclosures, just like a live broadcast.
Before the blackout, Padding Shayol already felt that the urban combat situation was very bad.
Because of incessant guerilla artillery strikes, there were many casualties inside the airport, multiple transport planes and helicopters were damaged, rendering the airport incapable of flight operations, thus unable to provide the forward troops with medical support, ammunition supply, or reinforcements.
The ground forces assigned to control key points around the airport to ensure flight safety were surrounded by a large number of armed personnel, finding themselves in an extremely passive state.
Add to that the adversary YL Country in this war, instigating trouble, malicious meddling, various types of anti-air missiles firing, causing substantial losses to the Star Federation’s aerial support and bombing.
Therefore, things were already quite frustrating around the Baldet urban area.
The airport could not launch aircraft, reinforcements couldn’t be sent, nor could supplies be delivered; ground forces were separated and surrounded, engaged in a desperate struggle.
The only consolation was...
The battle at the treasury in Abulaxi was progressing smoothly.
Thanks to the costly bombardment, various precision-guided bunker-busting missiles and rockets were used vigorously, and Abulaxi’s treasury was on the brink of being breached.
Unfortunately...
The screens went black!
The situation at Baldet Airport was no longer visible.
The status of the siege at Abulaxi’s treasury was also unknown.
The most bizarre part was...
The Eisenhower Aircraft Carrier Battle Group seemed to have lost contact as well.
Previously, it was possible to watch live as planes took off and landed frequently throughout the night from the carrier’s deck, providing support for the battle in Baldet’s urban area and the suburban treasury.
Now, suddenly, there was nothing.
A video signal loss could be attributed to equipment or line failure in one location, but what explains a widespread communication downtime across multiple units participating in the war?
And why had the large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft patrolling the skies around the battlefield stopped transmitting data?
This sudden and strange occurrence left everyone in the hall stunned.
What’s happening?
What happened?
Were the large unmanned aircraft and communication satellites, tasked with communication relay, all taken down by the enemy?
Not only is this possibility slim, but it’s also very difficult to achieve, so it seems unlikely!
Or was their highly automated C4IRS system, which combined communication, command, control, intelligence, reconnaissance, and early warning functions into one, hacked by someone?
Both possibilities were ruled out.
Because the aviation troops at Seleck’s Port Airport were not disconnected!
It was possible to see their planes being refueled and armed in the airport, and their air combat command system display interface.
So...
Why did the Baldet area and the Eisenhower Aircraft Carrier Battle Group suddenly lose contact?
What’s most worrying is...
At Seleck’s Port Airport, there was an anti-air missile system always at the ready, constantly monitoring the surrounding airspace to avoid enemy sneak attacks or friendly fire accidents.
Multiple drones, early warning aircraft, and aircraft from the Star Federation participating in the battle, equipped with IFF systems, were all previously visible on the remote surveillance radar.
All of a sudden, these signals disappeared from the radar in a bizarre manner, dropping off rapidly as if they were falling out of the sky.
There’s something fishy about an abnormal situation!
Without orders from Padding Shayol, staff officers responsible for various functions immediately gave commands.
To dispatch planes from Seleck’s Port Airport as quickly as possible.
To urgently check what happened to the Baldet warzone and the Eisenhower Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.
If necessary, air-drop some backup communication equipment to them.
At the same time.
Thanks to the satellites gathered for the battle, reconnaissance satellites did not go offline.
Those low-orbit high-resolution reconnaissance satellites, continuously orbiting the Earth in outer space.
To photograph a region, it is necessary to wait for the reconnaissance satellite to pass directly over the area.
The revisit cycle of a single satellite over a fixed point is very long; no matter how fast it travels, it still takes time to orbit the Earth.
But the Star Federation, wealthy and powerful, arranged multiple satellites in staggered orbits, which greatly shortened the revisit cycle.
Not only that.
They also had geostationary reconnaissance satellites, stationed directly above the equator at an altitude of over 30,000 kilometers.
Pointing sensors at the target region, a vigorous burst of photography followed, and the data was transmitted back.
Although the resolution of such long-distance photography is not very high, it at least allows for a rough analysis of any new changes in the combat zone. With higher clarity satellite images, more detailed analysis becomes easier.
