Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke Chapter 126 King of Infantry

The strike came quickly and violently.

The ballistics of electromagnetic cannon shells are completely different from those of traditional artillery. When attacking distant targets, the firing elevation angle of electromagnetic cannons is between 60 degrees and 85 degrees. The larger the elevation angle, the longer the range.

The shell with a diameter of 155 mm (completely independent of the caliber of traditional artillery), weighing 185 kg flew out of the "muzzle" at a speed of 2,200 meters per second (about 6 Hz). After reaching the "ballistic apex" of 125 kilometers, it enters the "middle gliding ballistic". The "ballistic correction system" composed of a satellite navigation system and a laser gyroscope starts to work, controlling 72 "micro heading correction rocket engines" located around the aerodynamic center of the projectile body (coinciding with the center of gravity) and adjusting the flight trajectory of the shells by itself according to the preset ballistic data.

Because the "middle-level ballistics" that accounts for more than 75% of the total range is in the outer space with very thin air, the range of the shell can reach an astonishing 185 kilometers. Including the electrothermal chemical cannons on the "Zumwalter" class destroyers, all ultra-long-range cannons try to increase the mid-level ballistic altitude and reduce the flight distance of the shells at the bottom of the atmosphere.

When the target reaches a kilometers, the shell begins to dive and enters the "last ballistic". If it is an ordinary shell (actually it is still a guided shell, but there is no end guidance system), the "ballistic correction system" will still control the last ballistic; if it is a guided shell, the flight ballistic will be corrected by the guidance system and the control system.

The probability deviation of the circle of dp-11a using ordinary shells is one-fifty-thousandth of the range. When the range is 185 kilometers, the shell has a 50% chance of falling within a circle centered on the target and a radius of 37 meters. When using guided shells, the accuracy is 5 to 1 c meters depending on the difference in the guidance system.

The loading volume of an ordinary shell weighing 185 kilograms is 35 kilograms, and the destruction radius of semi-hard targets such as bunkers is 25 meters. From this, it can be calculated that destroying one ground target requires 5 shells. The ground construction cost of one ordinary shell is only 15,000 yuan, and the launch cost is less than 1 c yuan. The cheapest air-to-ground missile is worth more than one million yuan. There is no doubt that the "effectiveness" of naval guns is much better than that of missiles.

Compared with cannons of the same "caliber", electromagnetic cannon shells are much heavier.

For example, the weight of a 155mm howitzer shell is generally between kilograms and 75 kilograms, and the charge will not exceed 15 kilograms, and some grounds may even be only a few kilograms.

During the last attack, the naval artillery shells dived from a height of hundreds of kilometers, with a velocity of about Mach 0.

More loading and huge earth kinetic energy give the naval artillery shells greater power. When dealing with underground targets, the detonation time can be set longer to delay the detonation time, so that the shells can penetrate several meters of thick soil and destroy underground fortifications.

It reflects the power of naval guns and has a higher rate of fire.

One dp-11a can throw 8880 kilograms of ammunition within 5 minutes. A 12 155mm howitzers in an army long-range artillery company can only throw 8100 kilograms of ammunition within 5 minutes. Including the power of naval artillery shells is several times that of army howitzers. One dp-11a~|The strike capability of a solid ground target is about the same as that of two artillery companies.

3~There are a total of dp-1a on the warship, which is equivalent to 8 long-range artillery companies!

Within 5 minutes, the warships threw nearly 45 ammunition at the Korean military positions in Jeju Airport!

Such a huge amount of ammunition throwing. If it is completed by airfield ground fighters, a brigade of 24 ground fighters each carrying gram-class aviation bomb ground fighters.

Another advantage of naval gun fire is its strong sustainability.

After completing the 5-minute rapid artillery bombardment, 8 shells fell down every minute, destroying bunkers or firepower points on three Korean military positions.

If the air force performs the same strike mission, it will need to be put into the fighter at a speed of 2 minutes.

Even without considering the fuel consumed by fighter jets and the risk of performing battlefield support missions, the aviation force's continuous strike capability is still not as good as that of "artillery".

When the support fleet was fully bombarding the Korean military positions, the officers and soldiers of the 15211th Battalion, who were the first to airborne, were busy cleaning up the airborne ground.

According to the combat plan formulated by the General Staff, the Airborne 152 did not participate in the war completely by "airborne".

The 15211th Battalion, which was the first to airborne, had two tasks. One was to clear the landing ground near Jeju Airport and provide a site for the second batch of airborne 1522nd Battalion. The other was to capture Jeju Airport, eliminate the airport garrison, clean up the airport runway, and welcome transport planes carrying combat troops and combat materials.

In other words, the main force airborne 152 will "land" Jeju Island by "airplane landing".

The efficiency and safety of aircraft drop are far greater than that of airdrops, and many heavy equipment can only aircraft drop, not airdrops.

Capturing Jeju Airport became the top priority for airborne 152.

In order to restrain the nearby Korean troops, when the 15211th Battalion landed near Jeju Airport, the 1526th Battalion, which was responsible for the cover mission, landed near Hanlin, cut off the ground passage between the main Korean troops deployed in Mussop and Xinchangri to Jeju, and completed the battle division mission.

The operations of the 1526th Battalion are very critical.

The Korean army has always believed that the first one to "land" was the Republic Marine Corps. In addition to Seongsanpu to the east, the most suitable place to land on Jeju Island is Mussup to the southwest.

Marines can first occupy Gaba Island south of Mussup, deploy artillery on the island, and then land on Jeju Island. For this reason, South Korea

We are deployed in Mussop and the Republic Marine Corps, which are located about 1 meter away from Mussop.

Who would have thought that the first thing that arrived was the airborne troops.

Before the main force airborne 152 arrives, the main force of the South Korean army must be blocked south of Hanlin to ensure the safety of Jeju Airport.

The actions of the 15211th Battalion are more important. The faster the airport is occupied, the faster the main force will arrive.

At 9:15, the shelling of the support fleet was still underway, and the vanguard of the 15211th battalion began to advance towards the airport.

Although there was only one company of troops, Guan Shangxun drew the airborne chariots of another company and formed the "Armored Sharp Knife".

There are more than 3c airborne tanks in total, so they should not be underestimated!

For the Korean troops without armored forces, they are equipped with 30mm machine guns and anti-tank missiles (when attacking defensive positions, anti-tank missiles are often used to deal with fortifications, and the effect is very ideal). The airborne tank that can block 1277mm machine gun bullets fired from 200 meters is a veritable "armored sharp knife".

Zang Jiayu also led the entire class of soldiers to participate in the offensive operation, but they did not directly attack the Korean military positions.

Guan Shangxun has received the news that the transport plane carrying the reconnaissance platoon made a mistake in the airborne location and sent the reconnaissance platoon of the 15211th Battalion to Hanlin! Although Guan Shangxun has ordered the reconnaissance platoon to come as soon as possible, in the short while, Zang Jiayu's infantry squad could only allow Zang Jiayu's infantry squad to carry out firepower guidance.

No matter what, Zang Jiayu and others did a good job.

Attacking the airport, you must fight quickly.

If the South Korean army reacted and destroyed the airport's infrastructure, even if the airborne troops occupied the airport, they would not be able to effectively utilize the airport.

At 9:30, after clearing the airborne field, Guan Shangxun joined the second company.

At this time, the transport fleet carrying the 1522nd Battalion had arrived above the airborne ground.

In order not to let the 1522nd Battalion divide the fruits of victory, after the first batch of troops of the 1522nd Battalion landed, Guan Shangxun handed over the defense of the airborne site to the 1522nd Battalion and personally led the other troops of the 15211th Battalion to the offensive battle.

The battle at the airport was fierce, but not tragic.

At 9:55, the 15211th Battalion occupied the airport tower and captured a Korean colonel.

At this point, Guan Shangxun realized that there were only two infantry battalions guarding the airport, and they were distributed on several defense lines around the airport, and they could not stop the airborne troops at all.

At about 0 o'clock, Guan Shangxun sent a signal to occupy the airport.

The transport aircraft of the 15211th Battalion and the 1526th Battalion airdropped had returned to the air force base in the Northeast region. After receiving the message from the 15211th Battalion, all transport aircraft took off at maximum load.

In addition to the 1523rd Battalion, the first one was transported, there was also a "mobile fusion power supply system".

This system is not provided to airborne troops, because the airborne troops are not equipped with electric combat vehicles, but to transport aircraft that arrive one after another. With the maximum load of y-14, the range is less than 2,500 kilometers, while Jeju Airport is 65 meters away from the nearest air base in the Republic and 1,200 kilometers away from the Northeast Air Force Base. The transport aircraft must be replenished at Jeju Airport.

At 0:15, after the airborne troops controlled the defensive positions around the airport, the support fleet stopped shelling.

About 20 minutes later, the support fleet began to provide artillery support to the 1526th Battalion. To be precise, it was to provide in-depth fire support to the airborne troops. The targets of the artillery were not the Korean troops near Hanlin, but the main force of the Korean army gathering in Xinchangli and Mussup.

At 0:50, the carrier-based aviation force began to carry out the "deep-off" mission, focusing on bombing the main force of the South Korean army.

It can be said that this is a battle without much suspense.

It is difficult for Korean infantry to defeat air cover, without armored power, and lack artillery support in frontal combat to obtain air support, artillery support, and airborne airborne troops with airborne tanks. Even if the conditions of both sides are equal, it is difficult for ordinary infantry to defeat airborne troops known as the "king of infantry" in frontal combat.

At 11:55, the first y-15 transmission aircraft carrying power supply equipment landed at Jeju Airport.

For officers and soldiers who were airborne 152, how to improve the efficiency of the airport is more important than how to defeat the Korean army.

Jeju Airport's throughput capacity is not strong, and it used to be mainly used by civil aviation aircraft transporting passengers. Even if the General Staff sends "professional" aviation coordinator, it is limited by various factors such as site area, infrastructure, and personnel work efficiency, it can only ensure that one transport aircraft takes off and lands every hour.

Even so, the strength of the airborne troops is still growing at an extremely fast rate.

When the South Korean army had little threat to counterattack, in order to improve air transport efficiency, at noon, Xiang Yinghui made adjustments to the air transport platoon and sent the equipment and materials needed for the engineering battalion and the construction of field airports to Jeju in advance, delaying the delivery time of the airborne troops.

Starting from the afternoon of the 7th, the Engineers built a field airport in the south of Jeju.

The South Korean army, which was subjected to fierce bombardment and shelling, accelerated its counterattack speed and enhanced its counterattack power.

The South Korean army began to race against time, because as long as the Republic's airborne troops gained a foothold on the position, let alone the Korean infantry, even the US armored soldiers were helpless! (To be continued,)
