Regarding the sudden temporary change of hexagram of the US imperialists, Yang Weiping was helpless about it.

If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow. We can only pray that our air force officers and men can withstand this test of blood and fire.

Although the pilots of our army have not been in contact with the F14 for a long time, they have trained extremely hard, and they have all been veteran pilots before, and the shortest flight time has exceeded 500 flight hours.

Flying a jet fighter, the principle should be the same. Although the J-6 and J-7 cannot be compared with the F14A, they are still second-generation jet fighters!

Besides, they can be regarded as having been tested in actual combat. The contest with the Annam Air Force fully demonstrated the flying talent and potential of our pilots.

Although equipment plays a large role in flying fighter jets in aerial combat, the pilot's personal qualities and piloting skills are also very important.

Previously, the U.S. imperialists half-sold and half-sent 80 F14A Tomcats, considering that the flight mode of the modern air force is generally a group of four aircraft, Yang Weiping gritted his teeth and bought 20 more from the United States, making up 100 planes.

Today, these 100 F14s are divided into four flight regiments of 24 aircraft, forming four independent aviation F14 brigades that are different from those of China's air force divisions.

The 1st F14 Group 24 aircraft were deployed on the northern border, closely monitoring the two Tu-22 Backfire bomber divisions deployed by the Soviet Union in the Far East.

The 2nd F14 Brigade is deployed in Ninh Nam, Gui Province, the 3rd F14 Brigade is based in Lang Son, and the 4th F14 Brigade is located on Vinh Kwang Island.

Two of the other four were left for use, and the other two were removed as parts for reverse mapping.

At the same time that the General Staff found out that the Soviet Air Force had plans to provide a large amount of assistance to the Annan Air Force, Yang Weiping also received a piece of information secretly from Karenia.

This intelligence shows that the volunteers of the Soviet Air Force who came to Annam are all active main pilots, and their flying hours are no less than 1,000. The main thing is that this time the aid to Annan is among the models. There are 25 third-generation fighters of the latest Soviet production, the MiG-29!

In addition to 25 of the most advanced MiG-29 of the USSR, there were 50 MiG-25, 25 Su-24. 50 Su-25. Moreover, a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, including SA6 mobile surface-to-air missiles, were supplied.

This batch of aircraft is definitely the best type of aircraft in service in the Soviet Air Force.

Obviously, the Soviet Union did not want to see Annan's army completely defeated by our army.

At the same time, there was a strong interest in the actual combat performance of the American F14A heavy fighter.

After thinking about it, Yang Weiping finally thought of the feature that the MiG-29's R37 air-to-air missile can attack at 60 degrees. Because this angle can have a limited back-firing ability.

If this is when our army's flight army and the MiG-29 face each other, they don't know the secret, and blindly drive the F14 to bite the MiG-29 in the back. Definitely going to suffer a big loss.

In addition, although the Soviet R27 air-to-air missile had an infrared homing head, the medium-range air combat of Soviet aircraft was very generally restricted by radar.

And the F14A Tomcat piloted by our military pilots not only has medium-range capabilities, but also a batch of immortal birds with a range of hundreds of kilometers!

After thinking of this, Yang Weiping immediately handed this over to the Air Force Combat Command Center as intelligence, and repeatedly told Wang Hai, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force during the war. It was necessary to convey this situation to all the pilots of our army, and only then did I feel a little more at ease.

The pilot took to the air to fight, and Yang Weiping couldn't help anything. The only thing he could do was to do his best to ensure the logistical supply of the First Air Independent Brigade.

To this end, Yang Weiping purchased a large number of F14 parts and accessories from the United States and supporting air-to-air missiles such as the Immortal Bird, Sparrow, and Sidewinder.

Modern warfare is fought with logistical support. This is what Yang Weiping often talks about.

In order to ensure that our army's combat units in Annam can win this war, all kinds of logistical materials must be prepared sufficiently.

The 1 million former militia mobilized in Gui and Dian provinces during the war are still active in our army's logistics supply lines, and 80 C130H and 20 C5 military transport planes are also constantly transporting all kinds of military supplies from the rear to the Lang Son and Hanoi fronts in the air.

Aviation fuel alone, Yang Weiping has prepared 30,000 tons!

The Hua'an War has been going on to the current extent, and Yang Weiping has already made up his mind. At all costs, it is necessary to fight the Annam monkeys to beg for mercy and surrender, and at that time, all military expenditures plus war claims will be counted on the Annam monkeys.

The U.S. imperialists put him together so obviously, and with Yang Weiping's grudge-holding character, of course he had to think about how to dig a pit and let the U.S. imperialists jump down by themselves.

In modern air force operations, flexible, smooth, and timely electronic information transmission, reception, and exchange are also the core factors that determine the victory of an air war.

In this regard, Yang Weiping certainly has a deeper and more thorough understanding than the air forces of all countries in this era.

After finishing his work on logistical supplies, Yang Weiping spent most of his time in the electronic warfare command center of the DA Division.

Today, this electronic warfare command center, which is rather simple and backward in Yang Weiping's eyes, has become the communications, intelligence, and control hub for all units participating in the war, and at the same time, it has also served as the "eye" of the forefront for the whole army. In order to ensure that our army is one-way transparent in terms of battlefield information.

……

As the afternoon sun shines through the dense rainforest, the serpentine convoy rumbles along the pothole-ridden GL6 bush road leading to Hehao Lake.

This is a small reconnaissance convoy with four BJ2020 fire assault vehicles (BJ212 military jeep modification) as the lead, followed by three Type 63 armored vehicles, three liberation heavy trucks, and two BJ2020 fire assault vehicles.

In the sky 30 kilometers ahead, four Changhong II unmanned reconnaissance planes, clinging to the top of the mountain at low altitude, like four flying ghosts, converted various scenes recorded by Shiming into several signals through the radio and video equipment similar to television signal transmission installed on board, and transmitted them back to the armored command vehicle in the convoy.

Ever since Xu Shangyou and Yang Dezhi decided to implement the operational plan of the decisive battle in Nanding, the DA Division, in cooperation with the special reconnaissance unit directly under the 41st Group Army, launched a reconnaissance work on the Ho Chi Minh Trail under the guidance of two veteran engineers of our army who had participated in the road construction project of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

In order to ensure the intelligence and information work of our army's southward penetration, Kong Linhua assigned all 200 Changhong II unmanned reconnaissance planes of the DA Division to the 41 st Group Army led by Xu Shangyou, and arranged for an electronic reconnaissance battalion to accompany the troops.

Five days. The convoy went back and forth twice along the 20-kilometre main road from Route 6 to the southern end of Hehao Binhu Lake and various feeder roads.

If there is no guide to guide this terrain, it is like a jungle maze, and you can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest when you walk into it.

Many sections of the road are built along mountain ranges above 400 meters above sea level.

Zhou Yuanchao was expressionlessly holding a Type 203 assault rifle equipped with an M81 grenade launcher. Sit in the passenger seat of the fire assault vehicle at the front. Although his back ached from the bumps in the potholes, his eyes remained highly vigilant, and he was preoccupied in sweeping the high ground on both sides of the road.

This 16-kilometre-long road is lined with steep cliffs on both sides. On the left, Highway 15 below is 400 meters high, and on the right is the mountain range, which is almost 90 degrees above sea level, 600 meters above sea level.

Five kilometers further on, you will find the corner of Route 15A. The 1.2-kilometre curved road connects Route 15 and Route 6 in a U-shape.

Highway 15 below, built along the Hongtong Gorge, is simply too flat compared to the No. 6 winding road.

Hongtong Canyon is located 800 meters south of Hehao Binhu, with 950 highlands on the left and 1030 highlands on the right. At its widest point, it is less than 200 meters wide, and it is the only place where Highway 15 turns into Highway 6. The turning point of both roads is halfway through the valley to the winding road.

Whether you're heading north to Hanoi or south to Saigon, Highway 15 and Highway 6 are the way to go.

On both sides of the road are shady rainforests, if not at ultra-low altitudes. From the air, it is impossible to find that there is a road in this dense forest.

When he walked this legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail for the first time, Zhou Yuanchao secretly sighed that there were really masters among the monkeys in Annam, so he paid attention.

Our army can use this jungle secret passage to penetrate the south, and then the enemy army can also use the secret path they call the "Central Corridor" to rush north.

Compared with our army, the Annam army is certainly more familiar with the Ho Chi Minh Trail than our army.

If he had been the commander of the Annam People's Army, he would have made full use of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Based on this mentality, Zhou Yuanchao asked the electronic information troops of the DA Division accompanying him to mark all strategically important heights and dangerous peaks along the road with detailed electronic coordinates.

This kind of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft provided by the DA division is really too suitable for reconnaissance troops, and it is simply the best spearhead flying in the air.

I heard from the people of the DA Division that without General Yang Weiping, there would be no DA Division. Moreover, this Changhong II UAV was also successfully developed under the care of General Yang Weiping. Thinking of the rank of second lieutenant on his armband, and then thinking of the general star hanging on Wei Ping's epaulettes, Zhou Yuanchao couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Among the troops fighting in Annam today, they do not recognize it as the Air Force or the Army, and the most muttered by the soldiers is General Yang Weiping, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

This is because the field cooking vehicles, field shower vehicles, field washing machines, and all kinds of logistical equipment, including safe, hygienic, and comfortable field medical vehicles, are all developed and produced by the engineering vehicle research department under the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense under the care of General Yang Weiping.

In addition, all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment existing in our army are also under the supervision of General Yang Weiping by weapons research units under the jurisdiction of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. It was developed under the guidance and achieved mass production.

It can be said that all kinds of equipment existing in our army, from weapons to military uniforms, are branded with the shadow of Wei Ping. His future prospects are truly limitless! Zhou Yuanchao was ashamed, but also sincerely felt relieved and proud of his little brother. (To be continued.) )
