Chapter 131 World War II Nansha (Part 2)
"Xiong, are we a little exaggerated?" Dong Kaichuan said hesitantly as he soared into the sky on the beach, at least 30 meters high.
The assault boat that just exploded was completely missing except for the large-scale persuasion weapons and some ammunition that created explosive effects.
In order to shape the justice of the king's army's expedition, Ning Lei consumed a lot of brain cells. In the end, Xiong Weixin suggested using a large unmanned assault boat carrying large-scale persuasive weapons as the primary means of communication.
Of course, it is best for Vietnamese to take action first. Once Vietnamese hold it back, the ammunition loaded on the assault boat will have a high probability of spontaneous combustion. As the saying goes, people are not sages, so who can do nothing? Even the elites of the army will occasionally make mistakes in their busy schedules.
Therefore, this assault boat that just exploded was actually a large model aircraft, and the wireless remote control system was on the amphibious tank that suddenly emitted black smoke.
"A discerning person can calculate that the ship should have a whole ship of explosives when he sees the intensity of the explosion. Where is the place to pretend to be a fisherman?" Dong Kaichuan, who had just played the role of a fisherman, obviously remembers the fact that he wrote the inspection.
"No problem, how many people can pay attention to this, uh, Xiao Wu, Yan Xiao is taking some photos later." Xiong Weixin turned his head and said to a soldier behind him who was holding a camera to take evidence.
"Besides, you care what is on my boat? My boat was blown up by Vietnamese on my own. We are full of reason for this lawsuit. Didn't Lao Dong always think about the new model? We will see it at sea later." Xiong Weixin said domineeringly.
"Everyone has it, board the ship in sequence, and the landing troops set off." Xiong Weixin waved his arm and said loudly.
Accompanied by Xiong Weixin's orders, the landing troops who had already been ready to go entered the landing craft one after another, and the remaining four water and land tanks also drove away from the landing cabin.
Chen Guanghan looked at the wreckage of the assault boat with rolling black smoke on the beach in the distance, slowly put down the telescope in his hand, signaled to the high-tech record beside him and said word by word: "The clear code of the Eagle's Nest, the Vietnamese destroyed one of my large-scale policy propaganda ships, and none of the crew survived."
"I will notify me after all the amphibious tanks and landing craft carried by the Wufengshan left the ship." Chen Guanghan added.
About five minutes later, Gao Ming returned to the bridge and raised his hand to salute. He said, "Report to the captain, the landing troops and their equipment have all left the ship."
"Okay, Wufengshan temporarily shut down the front water gate engine and prepare to set sail, informing the entire special mixed formation to resume movement from the immediate start of the fleet, gradually speeding up to 15 knots, and enter air defense combat preparations." Chen Guanghan said solemnly.
For Chen Guanghan, who knows the entire guided combat plan well, the next time is the critical moment for the success of the fulcrum plan, and it is also the critical moment for determining the fate of this special mixed formation.
As early as the beginning of the deduction of the fulcrum plan, the General Staff first split into two views. One is to go to the door with a dignified attack, warning you to take action first, and rely on your own sea and air strength to regain Nanzi Island with the power of a king.
The other kind of people is willing to be fooled, and plans to use the F14 fighter and A7 attack aircraft to take the initiative at dawn before dawn, carry laser-guided bombs to directly remove the Vietnamese residences and artificial buildings on Nanzi Island, and then notify the landing fleet hidden in the sea to clean up the battlefield.
None of the two factions could convince each other and they had a war of words.
To be honest, if you only focus on Nanzi Island, from a tactical point of view, it is the best choice to never get tired of deceit in the war, but if you focus on the entire South China Sea battle, and even consider the international public opinion after the war, it is the best choice to go to the door with a dignified and honest one.
The root cause of the Republic and Vietnam's struggle in the South China Sea is not so much a sea or land battle, but more appropriate. The victory of the entire South China Sea region is fundamentally a matter of air supremacy. If the air supremacy is absolutely in hand, even if the fishing boat brigade is running below, it is still capable of sweeping the entire Nansha Sea.
Ning Lei thought about whether he would lose his troops for a long time and never get tired of deceitful suggestions, and decided to go to the door with integrity. For pure soldiers like Ning Lei, the so-called international public opinion is not even as good as farts. In Ning Lei's view, the greatest significance of the existence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to wipe the butts of the military.
The adoption of upright tactics is related to the national policy of the Republic. Ning Lei, who has smooth high-level information, knows that the center of economic development has long reached great consensus at the core level of the Republic. At least his old man and father-in-law are firm supporters in this regard.
It is precisely this that Ning Lei felt extremely stressed on his shoulders. The battle to recover Nansha this time must not only be won, but also be clean and neat. Geng Qinghua's earnest words are not encouragement but real requirements. If he adopts tactics of never-ending deception, he may be extremely smooth in the capture of Nanzi Island, but it is the turn of the Republic to maintain the construction period after the island capture.
Even if the field airport on Nanzi Island can be repaired in time, the natural conditions of Nanzi Island determine that the scale of the field airport that has been expanded has been limited, and no one can judge what kind of follow-up actions Vietnam, which has not lost its main force in the air force, will take.
If the Vietnamese adopted the tactics of the Argentine Air Force after the island seized, they attacked air guerrillas and harassed supply ships twice in three days, and even dragged the war in the Nansha to a long-term level.
Therefore, Ning Lei decided to set up heavy bait, and the Republic's sea and the elite of the road army came out to the door with dignitaries, giving the Vietnamese Air Force the hope of a complete defeated fleet. If the Vietnamese Air Force could not retreat in the face of temptation and let the Republic knock out the defenders of Nanzi Island bit by bit, it would be able to judge its fierce nature.
If the Vietnamese Air Force cannot resist the temptation, then the Vietnamese Air Force needs to use at least one flight regiment’s elite power to deal with the Republic’s elite fleet and the long-range aviation force led by Ning Lei.
Among the Vietnamese Air Force, there are only two types of MiG-23 fighter and Su-22 attack aircraft that can go to the Nansha Sea to fight. The Su-22 attack aircraft only considers ground attacks when designing. Not only does it have long-range radar, it has poor flight performance, and can only carry aa2 infrared missiles for tail-chasing attacks within the sight range when fighting. Therefore, the only MiG-23 fighter that the Vietnamese Air Force can expect to seize air supremacy in the Nansha Sea is the MiG-23 fighter.
In 8.09, the Vietnamese Air Force was killed by Ning Lei in the battle, four MiG23 fighters. The 3rd Regiment of the 372nd Aviation Division, which is the only one equipped with MiG23 fighters, has been eliminated. After removing the fighter jets that cannot be served due to failure, the MiG23 fighters that can be deployed are between 28 and 32.
As some pilots on the Soviet side were quietly released by the Republic, and Gorbachev, who was about to hold the full rights of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, was determined to ease the Cold War relations with the Republic. Although the Soviet Union announced a high-profile assistance to the MiG-23 fighter jets and Su22 fighter jets of each regiment of Vietnam, its domestic relevant departments responded extremely slowly to the plans to supplement fighter jets proposed by the Vietnam Air Force.
From mid-August to the present, the arms aid documents to Vietnam are still tossing back and forth between the offices of relevant Moscow departments. There is no way to see the process being completed.
After Ning Lei completed all the information at hand, he decided to come up with a big plate and release the fleet bait while trying to achieve success in one battle. He planned to destroy the air power that the Vietnamese could use in the Nansha Sea in one battle, and he would not dare to look east for at least a few years.
"Where is the chicken coop?" Ning Lei asked the new radar officer in the back seat.
"Dongyao. The chicken coop is still 50 kilometers away from us. The direction is 190, the height is 1500 meters, and the speed is 300 kilometers." Although he had f14 several times, the excitement could not be concealed in Roque's voice.
After more than two months of high-intensity training, Rock finally mastered the functions of the AWG9 radar and successfully launched the Aim54 air-to-air missile in the scheduled exercise, destroying the predetermined targets far away 106 kilometers. So far, Rock was qualified to be a partner of Tongning and similar aircraft.
After returning to China, Qiao Pengfei, who had been performing his radar officer duties, was finally liberated and formed an F14 unit with another pilot who passed the AWG9 radar operation assessment. Ning Lei's wingman was finally equipped.
The chicken coop in Ning Lei's mouth is the local equipment aerial tanker that the Republic urgently created after the March 14 naval battle in Nansha.
As early as the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Republic had conducted research on aerial refueling technology, but because the tanker project was defined as an aggressive weapon with imperialist attributes in the Grand Movement, the peace that the Republic spoke of was inconsistent with its national defensive strategy was therefore forced to be interrupted.
After the reform, the Republic's military broadened its horizons. In order to fight against the Soviet military pressure, it restarted the development plan for air refueling engines in the mid-1980s. However, due to the limited foreign exchange in the Republic at that time, the overall refueling engine could not be afforded. Therefore, the military sets of refueling equipment were planned to buy two sets of refueling equipment first and place them on our own aircraft for modification.
For the Republic in the 1980s, only the H-6 medium-sized bomber of West Flight was barely usable. After the British aerial refueling equipment was transported back to China, West Flight began to modify the H-6.
Since the tanker is a process of losing weight continuously during the refueling process, it can be said that after the refueling operation begins, the center of gravity of the entire aircraft begins to change continuously, and the low-altitude and low-speed performance of the aircraft is very high. Therefore, the most suitable large transport aircraft that can be converted into a tanker should be a large transport aircraft that can airdrop items. However, the Republic has no suitable transport aircraft model at all, so it has to make do with the HVAC of West Flight.
After the March 14 naval battle in Nansha started, Xi'an Aircraft did not even complete the paper work of the H-6 modification. It was limited to the short legs of the Republic's sea, so the Air Force could only stare at Nansha.
Things changed interestingly after Liang Yuan got in. As the possibility of F14 fighter entering the country gradually increased, Geng Qinghua keenly discovered when calculating the situation in Nansha that even if the F14 fighter can be put into service, its combat radius of 1,000 kilometers was only enough, and tankers were still an indispensable equipment for the Republic's military.
However, if the F14 can be used in the Republican army, the difficulty of developing a tanker can be reduced by at least five levels. Geng Qinghua worked in the navy for his whole life and was obsessed with offensive forces such as aircraft carriers in the navy. It can be said that the various data of the F14 fighter and tanker are well aware of.
The f14 fighter itself has a mature aerial fuel-receiving system, and at least the difficulty of aerial refueling technology is less than half. The f14 fighter has extremely excellent low-speed performance. At a speed of 260 kilometers per hour, the f14 fighter's flight status is still stable and sensitive, making the tanker able to use low-altitude and low-speed. The Republic's self-produced Yun-8 transport aircraft is used as the carrier of the modified tanker. As for whether the J-8 fighter, which is known as "man-operated rocket", can adapt in the future, Geng Qinghua can only temporarily leave it aside.
On the day Liang Yuan signed the introduction of the F14 fighter jet, an emergency order from the General Staff made the entire West Flight flight run. A month later, a 8-Yuan oil modification that could only pull out a refueling hose at the tail and flew directly to the Hainan Haihang Lingshui Base.
For Ning Lei, it is really not difficult to be able to fly an unpowered rocket like the J-8 to make a forced landing and refueling in the air, especially to drive a carrier-based aircraft such as the F14 that deliberately strengthens its performance at too low speed.
Britain and the United States were originally relatives wearing pairs of pants. The probability of conflict between the weapons and equipment between the two countries was extremely small. After more than ten attempts, Ning Lei steadily connected the oil pipe of the F14 fighter and the refueling hose extended from the Yunba. The first air refueling in the history of the Republic made a breakthrough. Liang Yuan played with history without knowing it.
Of course, the only ones in the Republic who can enjoy air refueling treatment are Ning Lei and Qiao Pengfei. In the future, the A7 attack aircraft with the F14 fighter from the same deck will be used after the pilot training in the Republic. Whether the extremely slow-slow Master-style refueling aircraft such as the Y-8 is between the two.
Ning Lei dared to make such a big bet in Nansha, intending to kill the main force of the Vietnam Air Force in one battle. This Yun-8 tanker is definitely the biggest trump card. With the tanker Ning Lei left Lingshui Airport, the F14 fighter took off with full load, with six Aim54 Immortal Air-to-air missiles and two rattlesnakes. Qiao Pengfei was responsible for the guard patrol mission outside Nanzi Island, and only four Aim54 Immortal Air-to-air missiles, plus two rattlesnake infrared fighting missiles used within sight range.
Ning Lei slowly pulled the joystick to slowly reduce the speed of the F14 fighter. Through the green fighter cockpit windshield, a four-engine Y-8 tanker was clearly visible. The long refueling hose had extended out and was swaying slightly in the distance.
"Chicken nest, I am Hai Dongqing, right behind you." Ning Lei said to the headset.
"Haidongqing, heading 195, height 2000, speed 300, repeat once, heading 195, height 2000, speed 300..."
"Haidongqing received it, its course is 195, its height is 2000, and its speed is 300." Ning Lei said, opening the speed plate of the f14 fighter.
When Ning Lei was trained in the United States, the first landing course of the flight instructor emphasized that the F14 fighter has a very prominent feature. When the speed reduction plate of the F14 fighter is opened and the wings are turned into a straight state, the F14 fighter prepared for landing can change the altitude without changing its flight posture. To put it bluntly, the aircraft can be translated up and down.
It can be said that the reason why Ning Lei broke through the problem of air refueling is inseparable from the small feature of F14 combat. Ordinary fighters at low speeds are extremely difficult to control, while the feature of F14 fighters directly reduces the difficulty of refueling by two levels.
