Girls und War

Hearing this, Xia Shu turned to her and smiled, then replied, "It's okay. Don't take it to heart."

Anna seemed to see stars in Xia Shu's eyes. She had a thousand words to say, but her reserved personality made her unsure what to say.

After a moment's silence, Anna finally managed to organize a carefully thought-out speech.

But Xia Shu suddenly raised his head, pointed to the south of the sky and said, "Look over there!"

Anna turned her head and found a huge green light band floating at the end of the vast sky like a fairy raincoat, winding endlessly, extending from the pole to the horizon, covering a corner of the sky.

The band of light was like rain falling from the sky, or like a light green Milky Way, extending and dispersing continuously.

It is a scene that is both magnificent and absolutely beautiful, seemingly out of this world.

There is only one kind of light in this world, and that is green light.

That's the Aurora.

This is an extremely beautiful astronomical phenomenon that can only be seen at night near the South Pole or the North Pole.

Anna looked at the northern lights in the sky and gradually became dazed.

No girl can close her heart in front of such a stunning view.

No matter how hard-hearted a person is, upon seeing such a sky, the ice in his heart will melt into a pool of soft water.

Because, that's the Northern Lights.

905. The reason why special forces must play alone

Under the brilliant and colorful northern lights, the girls on the polar regions fell into a kind of ethereal state.

Xia Shu murmured, opened his mouth, and asked in the channel, "Haruka...Haruka, did you see it?"

After a while, Chunxiang's distorted voice came out from the headphones.

"Ah, I see it. I see it very clearly."

Chunxiang put down the telescope with a fascinated smile on her face.

He turned his head to look at Juncus, only to find that her face was covered with tears at some point.

A certain tender emotion touched Chunxiang's heart. She couldn't help but reach out and wipe the tears from Jungle's face. Then she stroked her cheek and said, "Look, that is the beauty of this world. It is the light of the world."

Rush hummed and wiped the tears from his face with the back of his hand.

The low temperature caused frost to form in the corners of her eyes, but she still couldn't bear to close her eyes.

It seems that if you close your eyes, the light in the corner of the sky will disappear.

Just as the girls were gazing at the aurora in a trance, the lark suddenly said, "I figured it out."

Xia Shu was cheered up when he heard this. He quickly slid down the ice slope and came to the side of the lark.

"Can you receive communications from the Eagle District?" she asked the lark.

Lark nodded and replied, "I'm collecting useful information. I'll soon be able to figure out the structure of the entire communication network."

Xia Shu didn't urge him, but squatted there and waited for a while.

After a while, Lark said happily, "Got it! It's a routine communication. Each communication has a number, so I can figure out how many base stations they have!"

As she spoke, she quickly took out the communication map she had drawn from the box and wrote and drew on it for a while.

By the time this routine communication was over, the map was already densely covered with numbers that Xia Shu couldn't understand.

Then Lark used these numbers to plan on the map, and she roughly calculated the wired communication network established by the entire Eagle District in the polar region.

Now, even Xia Shu can understand the general situation of the line.

But Lark thought about it for a moment, then suddenly showed a bad expression and said to Xia Shu, "I have figured out the route, but there is some bad news."

"What?" Xia Shu motioned for her to speak out directly.

Upon hearing this, Lark pointed to three places on the map and said, "There might be three radio shielding towers."

Xia Shu frowned when he heard that, but nodded.

The three answers are slightly different from the initial guess.

In her original plan, she would divide two teams to directly destroy the shielding tower, and three teams to cover and destroy the communication lines.

Now there are three teams destroying the shield tower, so the manpower may be a little tight.

However, this change in the situation was still within Xia Shu's acceptable range.

But if the number of shielding towers exceeds five, she really has no choice.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Shu decided to continue with the plan.

So she contacted Nya Nya and instructed her, "Notify the base and all teams to begin executing Operation Penguin."

After receiving the instructions, nya nya immediately contacted the communication team in the Snow District Air Force Base and passed on the order.

So under Fafna's command, each team member quickly boarded the transport plane and flew out of the military base from the cleared runway as soon as possible.

At this time, only a small number of communication personnel and coordination and liaison personnel headed by Fafna remained in the base.

Their mission is to convey Xia Shu's frontline combat needs directly to the Snow District and the Flower District.

At the same time, ensure the stability of the special forces' rear and be ready to coordinate various service support needs such as logistical supplies, medical assistance and smooth communications.

-

I would like to mention here that these tasks could originally be completed at the special forces’ headquarters military base.

But now their military bases are short of food and clothing, and have nothing but an airport. Moreover, the distance between them is too far to function normally.

So Xia Shu had to settle for the second best and set the service support location at a military base in the polar snow area.

In addition, in Xia Shu's final vision, the special forces' mission deployment should be an integrated operation that integrates support from the sea, land and air forces.

In other words, they should have the ability to clean up the ground with the air force, the ability to propel the army, and the ability to support the navy.

However, the current special forces have not demonstrated their value, so all of the above ideas can only appear in concept books and cannot be reflected in actual combat.

Unless they can directly prove through this operation that the special forces are worth spending such a huge amount of money.

Otherwise, the Navy Department and Air Force Department of Hana District would not allow Xia Shu to make military demands without restrictions.

The only support Xia Shu can call for now is the North Ocean Army allocated by the young commander and the Phoenix King aircraft carrier formation parked near the fifth island chain.

Even due to the constraints of the snow area, the support from these two parties is actually very limited.

Before the special forces completely completed the preliminary operations of "Operation Penguin", the help they could get from the ground was almost negligible.

In other words, out of distrust of other friendly departments and in order to ensure the secrecy of the mission, the special forces can only complete the mission alone this time.

Only with the successful completion of this mission, other military departments in Hua District can see that they are capable of completing extremely difficult tasks that no other unit can accomplish - this will give the young commander enough say and further allocate more abundant strategic and technical support to the special forces.

At the same time, it can make Xia Shu say "you have to pay more" more confidently.

-

Due to the reasons mentioned above, the Phoenix King is unable to provide direct airstrike support to Xia Shu at this time.

Because the Flower District needs to cover the entire North Ocean island chain front and ensure that the Eagle District does not know where their offensive and defensive focus is.

The only support the Navy could provide was a high-altitude early warning aircraft.

But just one plane is enough.

Because Xia Shu really lacked a fulcrum for communication and command at this time.

It is obvious that Nya Nya and the few communications personnel left at the base cannot maintain a stable communication structure.

At this time, if the front-line command point is attacked or the laser communication equipment is interrupted or blocked, Xia Shu will face a combat situation where he will completely lose his commander.

Although the original battle plan also included emergency response plans for this situation.

But such a plan cannot last long.

If you want to complete the mission, you still need a stable command fulcrum.

906. Silent Throat Cutting Operation

Generally speaking, an effective communication and command hub needs to have the following characteristics:

Safe, stable, efficient, and not easily discovered by enemy reconnaissance forces.

In a typical old-style battlefield, the communications command department often operates closely with the main force.

However, the more we move towards an informationized battlefield, the more such communications departments reveal their limitations.

For example, now that technical means are limited, radio communication, which used to be very useful and the most commonly used means of command, has been directly rendered useless by a few signal towers.

The more high-tech laser communications have extremely strict requirements on terrain and location.

If the communication point is in a low-altitude area, the laser communication signal will be easily blocked.

If the communication point is at a high place - haha, then the distance will be directly covered by enemy artillery fire, and it will not be far away.

Therefore, in the informationized battlefield, the most commonly used means of communication and command is high-altitude early warning aircraft.

This "early warning aircraft" is more than just a long-range early warning system for air forces.

The greater role of radar early warning aircraft at high altitudes is to cooperate with laser communication equipment to carry out a series of battlefield early warning activities such as reconnaissance, command, guidance, and vigilance.

With this aerial fulcrum, the command department can directly remotely control all front-line combat troops that can be contacted on the battlefield.

It can be said that as long as she wanted, Xia Shu could sit in the special operations headquarters thousands of miles away and remotely command the operation.

But the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and Xia Shu needed to be fully aware of the situation on the scene. Therefore, she had to personally command the battle on the front lines.

At this time, Nya Nya laser communication was directly aimed at the sky.

After the laser communication interfaces on both sides were docked, the transmitter on the ground locked onto the high-altitude early warning aircraft 40km above sea level like a sunflower.

Although they cannot see the early warning aircraft above 10,000 meters now, laser communication can easily penetrate a communication distance of hundreds of kilometers.

This is something that radio communication cannot achieve in any way.

Perhaps apart from the fact that the communication equipment is relatively expensive and has high requirements for weather conditions, laser communication has no other disadvantages.

At the same time, this is also why Xia Shu had previously asked the crew members in the snow area whether their transport aircraft had laser communication capabilities.

It is precisely because of this function that she can directly command the team members in the four transport planes on the ground at this time.

And let Lark share the Eagle Area's wired communication lines with every communication team member on the transport plane as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that Xia Shu attaches great importance to the communication operations of the special forces.

Not only is a communications department specifically listed in the service support department, but every member of the special forces also undergoes long-term communications courses.

As a special forces soldier who came out of the information battlefield, Xia Shu is very clear about the development direction of information technology in modern warfare.

It can be said that everyone in the special forces can, to a certain extent, be integrated into the information-based local operations.

This also means that in this polar operation, the communications corps of the special forces will surely shine on this battlefield.

-

Among the four transport planes allocated to Xia Shu by the snow zone this time, in addition to the five members of the nameless team, Xia Shu also organized five medical teams and a dozen two-person communication combat teams.

The medical team naturally followed the five main combat teams. They were responsible for assisting combatants with damage control, wound healing, and other support operations, allowing combat personnel to focus on combat, thereby maximizing the special forces' combat effectiveness.

The communications team's mission, in addition to ensuring that Xia Shu's communications can reach the battlefield in real time, also has another important task this time - to be responsible for cutting off the enemy's battlefield communications.

-

After Xia Shu informed each group of the latest action plan, the transport planes in the snow area dispersed towards the designated landing sites under the command of the team leaders.

Then, they jumped out of the cabin like flowers scattered by fairies from heaven and landed sporadically on the ice field.

Everything took place in darkness and silence, without a sound or movement.

After landing, each team member quickly gathered at the designated combat location.

Soon, the members of the three teams, Wuming 3, 4 and 5, found the important target of their mission - three signal shielding towers on the ice field.

The members of several other communication teams, under the protection of teams one and two, each found the wired communication lines buried in the snow.
