Although he knew in his heart that Director Xiao Yang's words were well-intentioned, Air Force Commander Zhang Tinghua still felt very uncomfortable.

Isn't this to grow the enemy's ambition and destroy his own prestige!

"Director Xiao Yang, isn't it okay to let US pilots participate in the war?" asked Zhang Tinghua with a rather serious face.

"In a sense, the ongoing war between China and Annan is actually the inevitable result of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Yang Weiping also said solemnly: "Whether we want to admit it or not, when we fight with Annan Monkey, in fact, the United States and the Soviet Union are fighting each other behind their backs."

Commander Zhang, our air force has not experienced large-scale brutal air battles, while the air forces of the Soviet Union and the United States have grown up from the Second World War, and they have many real ace pilots, and their flight hours are at least 1,500 hours or more. This is not something that our pilots can compete with.

Putting aside the human factor, from the hardware aspect, our J-7 and J-6 also have a certain gap in comprehensive performance compared with the MiG-23 and MiG-25. The total size of the Jian-7 of our army's active equipment is only three regiments, and we cannot afford to lose them, and there is no need to cause such losses.

The Air Force is not an army, and the army can run if it can't win on the ground. But our pilots did not even have a chance to run in the sky. The Air Force, like the Navy, is first and foremost technical equipment, followed by the overall quality of pilots.

Congenitally, our fighters are a generation behind the USSR and the USA. If we are facing the Annan Air Force, we can think of it as a military training. But if it really comes against the ace pilots of the Soviet Union, our pilots have no chance of winning. Therefore, I suggest that our pilots must not be allowed to take risks and send them to their deaths! Here, I solemnly emphasize once again, pilots. More precious than airplanes!"

Xu Shangyou, who was already addicted to modern air-ground coordination tactics, said with a tiger face on the side at this time: "Commander Zhang, it won't be wrong to listen to Director Yang! No one knows better than him the current state of the aviation industry and the level of equipment of the Air Force in our country. The spiritual atomic bomb really can't go head-to-head with the real atomic bomb!"

Xu Shangyou has fought all his life, but it is the first time in his life that he has fought such a bold and handy modern war like now. He has now become a die-hard supporter of Yang Weiping. As long as he has time, he will take time to pester Yang Da scientist to help him develop more advanced and practical new equipment for the army.

The combat command room they are in now is a primary electronic warfare command center built in accordance with Yang Weiping's suggestion.

Now that we have set up a joint military base with the United States, it is necessary to draw some advanced electronic warfare equipment from the hands of US imperialism. Then Yang Weiping can't despise himself to death!

As early as 20 December 1975, Taizu gave clear instructions to Ye Chien-hsiung, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, on the "Strengthening Electronic Countermeasures Operations" report.

To this end, the Central Military Commission and the State Council have set up a special leading group for electronic countermeasures and radar management. A special agency has been set up to be responsible for the centralized management of electronic countermeasures and radar throughout the armed forces.

In addition, Taizu also personally instructed that it is necessary to strengthen the intelligence work of electronic technology and strengthen and adjust the scientific research and productivity of electronic countermeasures. We should rapidly improve the anti-jamming performance of our army's electronic equipment and actively train professional technical personnel for electronic countermeasures.

Based on Taizu's supreme instructions, the Central Military Commission made a decision to set up an experimental unit for electronic countermeasures, codenamed 83419. The commander-in-chief is Kong Linhua, Taizu's son-in-law.

After the establishment of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Yang Weiping immediately put the 83419 electronic countermeasure experimental unit under its command. To this end, Yang Weiping also specially asked Kong Linhua, the person in charge of Unit 83419, to carefully select a 12-person technical exchange team to go to the Electronics and Information Research Department of Tiangong Laboratory in Switzerland to learn from experience.

Before the war against Annan, Kong Linhua received Yang Weiping's summoning order, returned to China with all the members, and formed the first electronic countermeasures force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Since the beginning of December last year, the DA regiment has been sent by Yang Weiping to the Southern Military Region to provide electronic countermeasures combat support for the Eastern Front Group. The whole regiment also took the first wave of the title and change of clothes, and now Yang Weiping has been transferred to the N05 Sino-American joint base to jointly develop the research and development of the second phase of GPS planning with the US military satellite navigation and positioning research institute.

After the establishment of the DA Regiment, our army's first-generation "Changhong" unmanned reconnaissance plane has been improved in many aspects, and the high-altitude and high-definition cameras obtained from the US military have been replaced, thus ensuring that our army's one-way information on the battlefield of the Annan operation is transparent.

Dr. Wu Gou, who was originally engaged in large-scale computer research at the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, was also transferred to the DA group by Yang Weiping as the chief designer. Wu Hook, who put on the military uniform of the major, burst out with an even more fanatical passion for work.

Under the leadership and guidance of Wu Gou, the DA group gathered a large number of researchers in computer hardware and software to complete the preliminary compatibility of GB1978 Chinese code and ASCII code. And on the basis of the 8086 chip launched by Intel Corporation in 1978, DRAM technology was introduced, and the first microprocessor chip in China was successfully developed.

The Pentium microprocessor has a maximum clock speed of 8MHz and 16-bit data channels, but its memory addressing capability is doubled to 2MB compared to the 8086.

With the correct guidance of Yang Weiping, the DA regiment was positioned as the world's first digital force in the future at the beginning of its establishment.

Yang Weiping has every reason to believe that with the development of the global computer level, the Chinese People's Liberation Army will certainly be ahead of the US military in its digital information construction.

Although there is still a very big gap between the current electronic command center and the electronic command center of later generations, it is obviously much more advanced than the original command system and structure of our army.

This is also the first time that our army has used a large-scale computer in the command system of the troops to collect and process various information.

Through China's first-generation military reconnaissance satellites and communications satellites, and a three-dimensional information receiving and transmission system composed of early warning aircraft and unmanned reconnaissance planes, commanders can be kept abreast of the progress and operational information of the entire battlefield in a timely manner.

Monk Xu Da, who has been a native old hat all his life, can sit in this electronic command center without leaving home to grasp the overall battle situation and battle situation on the eastern and western fronts, and naturally loves the DA regiment that came up with this command system to death.

During this time, Xu Shangyou did not know how many times he begged Yang Weiping, asking for the DA regiment to be included in his Southern Military Region. In this regard, of course, Yang Weiping will not let go. But Yang Weiping said that he could help the Southern Military Region form a similar unit. The premise is that personnel, technical equipment, and military expenses have to be solved by Xu Shangyou himself.

It can be said that Xu Shangyou is now a die-hard fan of Yang Da Scientist.

Air Force Commander Zhang Tinghua was speechless when he saw that Monk Xu Da, who was accustomed to fighting tough and vicious battles and that he had emphasized the spiritual atomic bomb the most, would say that the spiritual atomic bomb would not work.

Zeng Siyu, commander of the Central China Military Region, who was present. Ding Sheng, commander of the East China Military Region, Pi Dingjun, commander of the Southeast Military Region, and Yang Dezhi, commander of the Southwest Military Region. Hearing Xu Shangyou say this, it was also like looking at a strange animal, and the four pairs of old eyes stared at Xu Shangyou without blinking.

"Ahem" Xu Shangyou cleared his throat lightly, turned around disapplaudively on the faces of the four commanders who were still wearing Type 65 military uniforms, and said with a tiger face: "Look at what! The No. 1 leader said that science and technology are the primary productive forces.

This sentence can also be applied to the military, advanced high-tech equipment. It is the first combat strength! I, the great monk Xu before, have never been only about weapons, and now I am not only about weapons. However, I must admit that good weapons and equipment can better ensure the survivability of soldiers on the battlefield. Enhance their combat effectiveness.

I very much agree with Director Yang's viewpoint: The lives of soldiers are always more precious and more important than weapons and equipment! Director Yang said that we can remanufacture equipment when it is gone, but if it is gone, it will never be gone! No matter how good and advanced weapons are, they must eventually be used by people. Therefore, cherishing the lives of our soldiers at all times is the highest duty that we senior commanders who are commanders cannot shirk!"

"I would like to add two words. Yang Weiping took Xu Shangyou's words, and said with a rather solemn face: "Cherishing the lives of soldiers does not mean that we are afraid of sacrifice. Rather, we, the commanders in power, must always be people-oriented and do our best to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

Take, for example, the Air Force. Everyone knows that pilots flying planes into the sky are full of risks. It is not uncommon for a plane to crash during training. However, is it because of the fear of crashing the plane and the fear of taking responsibility in the event of an accident, that flight training is not carried out?

This is clearly not true. It is not terrible to have an accident in training, but the most terrible thing is to have an accident on the battlefield, which will lead to the failure of a certain battle or even the entire battle situation!

What we who are leaders and leaders should do is not to allow the recurrence of the accidents that have occurred in the past, and we must never make the same mistakes again! When we discover problems, we must come up with effective measures and means to solve them.

The most fundamental original intention of the first reason why I just suggested to Commander Zhang that our pilots should not be allowed to engage in air combat with Soviet ace pilots who might appear on the battlefield was because I was too aware of the gap between our Jian-7 and Jian-6 and MiG-25 and MiG-23 in terms of technology and equipment.

Doing something we know we can't do is like knowing it's a mistake and we have to do it again. Although the F14 fighter purchased from the United States is advanced, in my eyes there are still many shortcomings. In particular, the two turbofan engines of the F14A still have many aspects to be improved.

Since I know all these things, of course I can't watch our pilots go to their deaths! If the Soviets want to join in, then we should let the Americans do the same. It's not a cowardice, it's a strategy.

Commander Zhang, when China was resisting US aggression and aiding Vietnam, it suffered great losses and paid a heavy sacrifice in the face of the tactics of the US Air Force. Now we have a rare opportunity to learn from the experience of the US military, so why not?"

Zhang Tinghua nodded seriously and humbly, and said: "Yes, compared with the US Air Force, our Air Force does have a lot of things that we need to learn. ”

"When Soviet Air Force Lieutenant Belenkov defected to Japan in 1976, the U.S. Air Force conducted a comprehensive study of a MiG-25. Yang Weiping said with a smile: "But the U.S. Air Force has never really competed with the MiG-25 in actual combat." The beauty of adults has always been the fine tradition of our Chinese people, and we can't stand out for this beautiful thing!"

"Haha......" The commanders present burst into laughter after hearing this.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity in front of him, Yang Weiping very tactfully cut the arrogance of our country's air force. The purpose is to make it clear to them from top to bottom that there is still a very big gap between our air force, whether it is technical equipment or tactical thinking, and there is still a very big gap between it and the world's first-class air force. Don't think that we have thousands of planes and we are an air force.

While providing information to Mr. Yang, the C.I.A. also proposed an agreement. As many MiG-25 and MiG-23 aircraft as the Soviet Union provided to Annan, the United States provided as many F14 and F15 aircraft as China provided. If the Soviet Union sent pilot volunteers, the United States would also send a group of Air Force volunteers to China.

To have the opportunity to touch the bottom of the real level of the Soviet Air Force on the battlefield of Annam, the Americans certainly did not want to miss it.

In response to this demand of the Americans, Yang Weiping, of course, warmly applauded with his hands in welcome.

Perhaps with the help of the Soviet Union, the Le Duan authorities seemed to be determined to go head-to-head with the Chinese army.

The three divisions of the 2nd Army, the main force of the Annam People's Army in the invasion of Cambodia, are preparing to withdraw back to the division. Moreover, the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th armies were newly formed to strengthen preparations for war.

Obviously, the Le Duan authorities will never allow our army to easily take Hanoi, which was originally empty. There are various indications that Le Duan intends to mobilize nearly 60 percent of the army strength of the Annam People's Army to fight a decisive battle with our army in the Hanoi area.

In line with the operational goal of destroying the vitality of the Annan People's Army, Xu Shangyou is of course right in the heart of such a change in the war situation.

Xu Shangyou has always been envious of the many tank decisive battles fought by the Soviet Red Army and the German Army in the Second World War, and I don't know how many times Lu Dao has commanded the steel torrent of China in his dreams to gallop across the battlefield abroad. Now that he finally has the opportunity to take the mechanized troops of the Annan People's Army as an opponent, Xu Shangyou seems to have nine cats scratching in his heart at this moment.

Seeing the obvious smugness on Xu Shangyou's face, Ding Sheng, the commander of the East China Military Region, who was still wearing a Type 65 military uniform, couldn't help but smile and asked: "I said Monk Xu, should you let our troops of the East China Military Region also kill the troops of the East China Military Region and show their faces abroad!"

Xu Shangyou looked at Ding Sheng "hehe" and said with a smile: "Old Dingtou, are you looking at the 81-style general uniform on my body?" (To be continued.) )
