Chapter 1650 Air Force Advantage

No weapon can be used alone. No matter how powerful a weapon is, it is easy to find how to form a single weapon when it is powerful. Uniformity is the easiest to be guarded against. Although a strategic bomber is powerful, it can be avoided in various ways. If the opponent hides in the city, he cannot directly bomb the city.

In the future, after the war between China and the United States begins, the United States is likely to use this method to prevent China. China has no desire to possess the land of the United States, which will not be able to extend the war to the coast of the United States. Then there will be no strategic bomber, but other aircraft must be included to form a comprehensive force and this will play a role.

Zhou Shuzheng's anti-submarine aircraft is part of this comprehensive role. Some long-range dive bombers and torpedo aircraft have become the most important attack weapons. These are all targeting ships. In order to explore ships and better defend Hawaii, Hawaii has also established a huge radar station.

China's radar is still working hard to conduct research on aircraft. Currently, only heavy strategic aircraft can be installed. There will be 20 aircraft arranged in Hawaii in the future. However, these aircraft have not been finalized yet. Currently, they are only produced laboratory products. In this case, only formations have been organized, and there are no real dispatched aircraft. If the medium-sized aircraft are finalized in a short time, another 120 aircraft will come over to ensure the safety of Hawaii.

Before the radar aircraft arrived, Hawaii could only rely on radar. Fortunately, Hawaii is not a very small island. There is no problem in building a large-scale radar station on 500 square kilometers of land.

China's latest sea radar has a very large detection range. The entire radar is large in size and the antenna is quite long. It is not flat in Guam and Hawaii, and it has a certain height of mountains. At present, the radar has loaded the highest peaks in Guam and Hawaii, with a 250-meter-long radar antenna. Atop hundreds of meters of peaks, plus other functions, the cover area of ​​this radar is quite powerful. It can basically reach 650 kilometers in air and more than 500 kilometers in sea. Even in bad weather, it can guarantee an early warning range of more than 200 kilometers.

What does this mean? It represents 500 kilometers around the island, which is basically an extremely safe area. This security is for Hawaii. For hostile forces, this is a forbidden area. Any hostile force entering this area will be discovered, and the next is a concentrated strike.

This is also the area where aircraft carriers operate during World War II. After all, most of the aircraft carriers are light fighters and bombers, and the combat radius can exceed 300 kilometers, which is very rare, and 500 kilometers is the limit. With the range measurement and contact means of this era, more than 300 kilometers is just a problem of trekking, which is enough to restrict most, not to mention other things. When launch vehicles and satellite technologies reach a certain level, it is almost impossible to have reliable contact methods, let alone orderly attacks.

At present, China can guide attacks over 500 kilometers, which is a large-scale aircraft group. It is guided by radio. It must also have sea and land guidance targets, otherwise it will not be able to attack at a long distance. That is, a large-scale command base has been built in Hawaii to help within 500 kilometers, no matter how far it is, it must rely on other means.

With these, it is enough to make Hawaii defended as impregnable. As for the mistakes made by the US military during World War II, it is impossible in China. It uses large-scale integrated circuit technology to judge objects quite accurately. The aircraft and aircraft fleets have unique displays on the radar. It is impossible for the US military in Pearl Harbor to appear. Although the radar discovered a problem, it was mistakenly thought it was a false alarm.

As for your own aircraft group, there is a unique identification method. This can be easily solved by using some small software in the radar, which will further enhance the accuracy of the radar.

In addition to land-based radar, there are also a series of radar systems, such as radar ships navigating in the area, and antennas on some uninhabited islands. These are huge numbers. Multiple or even systematic radars are used to form a grid-like form to build a whole system. The surrounding areas of Hawaii are not too obvious. Wake Island, Midway Island, and other small islands. As long as air bases can be set up, radars will be equipped. These radars are combined to form a huge network, turning the entire southwest Pacific into a region controlled by China. Within a range of 500 kilometers of islands, they will become a Jedi. This is something that Americans do not know about, and they will only have a memory after suffering huge losses.

No matter what, a large number of runways and infrastructure have been established. In order to ensure command, the Hawaiian theater was established separately. Cai E was appointed as the commander of the theater, and three generals of the Navy and Air Force and the Army were formed to form a joint command. In 1916, another major event related to China's military development was born, and the Chinese Air Force was officially established.

In previous history, China attached the most importance to the army. When China was still weak, only when the army was strong could it maintain its own security. The reason why China chose to attack the special time of World War I was because of the unique environment of World War I, foreign forces could not interfere with China.

In the process of development, the strength of the army ensured the security of the country well. While maintaining the unification of Mongolia, it resisted Russia's attack. This is also the fundamental reason why China later took back its power and unified China without much interference. China has enough strength to resist external interference. Before the other side interferes, it is necessary to consider whether it can beat China.

When the army was strong and had its own security and could expand outward, it was natural that the navy was chosen. On the one hand, it was to maintain China's ever-longer coastline and on the other hand, it was also to wait for an opportunity to attack. After the army and navy had developed to a certain extent, and even after the navy had developed aircraft carriers, the independence of the air force was imperative.

After the continuous progress in the field of engines, when strategic bombers emerged, and even large-scale clusters could threaten an armored army, the air force had an independent foundation, but the Chinese army was too strong, and the navy had no choice. It belonged to the ocean and the army could not interfere. However, the air force was originally affiliated with the army and had a huge support for the army's actions. During the exercise, a strategic air force posed a great threat to the armored forces, when the armor was marching, it must carry prevention and control, and under the circumstances as much as possible, fighter jets must also be escorted to ensure safety.

If the Air Force goes out alone, it will be inconvenient. For this reason, the entire lawsuit has come to Yang Yuanzhao. Of course, Yang Yuanzhao knows that the Air Force plays an important role in the Army, but the independence of the Air Force is inevitable. Only an independent air force can cope with challenges in all aspects and develop better. China's air force is already very large. At present, there are more than 60,000 strategic bombers, and various fighter jets, transport aircraft, and even seaplanes. Together, it has exceeded 200,000. Even if an average of about 10 people is used, it has 2 million combat personnel, and its affiliated personnel has even exceeded 3 million. It has grown into an independent and very powerful force. If it is still affiliated to the Army, it is not conducive to its development.

The lawsuit has been fought for several rounds, and the two sides are almost in fierce confrontation, especially the Army, which put forward many conditions. For example, when the Army armored forces march, it is necessary to provide air force cover, and there are many other detailed rules, which has promoted the independence of the Air Force.

However, it takes time to confirm independence to formal listing. After waiting for a year, I waited for a year. From the Army sequence, I came out separately. Those who belonged to the Army returned to the Army and formally entered the Air Force. Now, there are more personnel in the Navy. At present, the various fighter jets that joined the Air Force have almost reached 300,000. According to the average number of each fighter jet with 7-12 personnel, the number of Chinese Air Force is almost 3 million, and only pilots must have 900,000, and it is even expanding.

Take strategic bombers. The current number of them is 60,000. There are at least 2 pilots flying one aircraft. Generally speaking, one aircraft requires two or three crews, which requires 6 pilots. This means that the Strategic Air Force alone has 300,000 pilots, accounting for about one-third of the total number of pilots in the entire Air Force.

This is a huge number. The Strategic Air Force has so many, fighter jets and transport aircraft also have so many. Among them, there is one exception. Naval aviation, because of the unique role of aircraft carriers, forcibly assigning naval aviation to the Air Force under the premise that aircraft carriers have almost become the strongest part of China's maritime power. This is inappropriate and means that the most powerful force of the Navy is in the hands of the Air Force. It is not conducive to management and is prone to friction and disputes.

After the Navy Air Force was separated and affiliated with the Navy Department, the Air Force needed to support and guide him, which was considered to be a solution to this problem. In the future, the navy with more systematic and perfect system will have the strongest combat power.

Following this, the Army saw this situation and also proposed that it was to form an army to support the air force, be responsible for the close-range battlefield cover and some protection, and even aircraft with special attack lines. Such aircraft do not require too strong airports or very high combat effectiveness. As long as the army attacks positions, it is enough to attack the ground.

This is the attack aircraft of later generations. It does not provide combat capabilities and is not even very maneuverable. It has strong protection power and can dive bombard a solid fortress and fixed positions with anti-aircraft machine guns. The fortress may have excellent protection against level, but the top of the head has always been a weak link. Even with the premise of having an anti-aircraft machine gun, it is impossible to completely protect the top of the head. Such an aircraft came into being.

The Army is taking advantage of the situation, but what they said makes sense. Without relying on the airport, they can follow the army to carry out activities. After entering the battlefield and laying a simple runway, they can attack, and it really does not require the support of the Air Force.

Considering the unique performance of these aircraft, it has no other effect except ground support. Even if it encounters fighter jets, it is very likely to be shot down. In the end, after coordination, the Army Air Force was established. Now it is just a powerful attack aircraft that supports army attacks. However, in the future, with the development of helicopters, it has become an exposed force specifically for armored forces.

The establishment of the Air Force is a major event for China's military system reform, but for the whole world, not many people noticed this. In the winter of 1916, the focus of the Allies and Allied Powers was still in Europe. Even if the United States was preparing to launch a counterattack in the Pacific, they still gritted their teeth and waited because China had cleared Hawaii's power in place, and they rarely got information about Hawaii.

There are a large number of supplementary aircraft in Hawaii and the island area. On December 1, 1916, Hawaii had 1,900 aircraft and 94,000 Air Force personnel. Because heavy bombers require the most personnel, two crews are needed, and more than 30 crew members, and a large number of ground crew members. This number accounts for almost a quarter of the defenders in the entire Hawaii and becomes an important force in Hawaii.

The entire Hawaiian Army's heavy armor is currently stored in the combat readiness warehouse. Only a part of the personnel are in place. They come to familiarize themselves with the situation and make battlefield previews. The rest are still in Southeast Asia for training, because if it cannot be proved that the US military will land on a large scale, they came up with it. As an island, Hawaii has an area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers, which is already quite large in the entire Pacific Ocean. However, compared with the army, especially the army's armor strength, it is really a bit narrow. At most, it can only be trained in the military camp and small-scale training grounds. These training grounds are OK for ordinary infantry firearm training, so just let the armor be done, and it is not possible to move on for a little.

The chariots are slightly activated and driving at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour exceeds the maximum length of Hawaii. If you really have hundreds of chariots, you won’t have to do anything else in Hawaii. Although the number of troops stationed on the island in the long run may be relatively large, there will not be too many people who actually arrive in Hawaii. Their main purpose is to be on duty in the fixed fortresses of the island’s land-based fortresses. The navy and the air force are the most important forces, especially the air force and island combat. The air force is the most decisive force. If the air force is built, even if the US military spends thousands of troops to come, they will not be able to cross the line. (To be continued.)
