Chapter 289: The Air Force's Hidden Worries

Chen Xu drove his father home, went into the house to make a cup of tea and accompanied his mother to watch TV. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Xu didn't dare to stay at home longer, and after staying for a long time, his mother would ask to stay at home for the night, and then the nagging was endless. Because Chen Xu is too late to get married at this age, his son is more anxious than anyone else, and when he meets, he asks if there is a girl who catches his eye, and if there is no old lady, he will think about introducing him.

Chen Xu is a cold maniac in the affairs of men and women, and he really doesn't have any ideas about women, he would rather spend time playing with the three big wolf dogs on the mountain than go out on a date with girls. But he didn't dare to tell his mother that he wanted to be single for the rest of his life, his mother's chatter lingered in his ears like a spell, Chen Xu avoided it every time, he used to go home two or three times a week to accompany his family to eat, but now he basically doesn't go home, and he hides with his mother all day long and refuses to see her.

The small building in the mid-levels palace was as warm as spring, and as soon as Chen Xu entered the room, he shouted: "Help me bring the map of South Asia, the city population map and the natural topographic map!" ”

Chen Dasan received the order and turned around and went downstairs, and only after half a ring did he enter the house with a roll of maps, and said: "There is a topographic map, but there is no urban population map of South Asia. ”

Chen Xu nodded, spread out the topographic map of South Asia on the desk and studied it carefully, how to send troops and how to lay out after the Sino-Soviet war was a matter for the Military Commission, but Chen Xu still couldn't help but want to deduce it himself.

After the start of the war, our army has one of the biggest advantages, that is, it can enter India before the Soviet army, and the Soviet army needs to penetrate Pakistan first, and this time is enough for our army to seize most of India's strategic points and establish defensive positions.

Our army has a great geographical advantage in sending troops to South Asia, and the blockage of the three armies of the Argentine army can be ignored by swooping down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it can basically guarantee that it will occupy all major cities and strategic points in India within a week, and then concentrate its forces to defend it.

The Military Commission may choose one or two plains to fight two field battles with the Soviet army, but most of the battlefields will still choose complex mountain and urban street battles, using terrain to offset the Soviet army's equipment advantage.

At the beginning of the war, the Soviet army had absolute superiority in equipment, and although it had to travel thousands of miles from the Soviet Union, the Soviet army had a huge fleet of strategic transport aircraft, and as long as it was willing to spend money, this was not a big problem.

And the flower growers have to climb the Tibetan Plateau, cross the Himalayas, and then they can march out of India.

The complex terrain is a severe examination of logistics, you must know that the first highway of the flower family was only opened to traffic in 1988, and the road conditions in the country are very poor at this stage, and most areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are in a state of primitive roadlessness, and dirt roads are considered good. And the Qinghai-Tibet Railway only leads to Golmud, which is far from the Sino-Indian border!

It is even more difficult for our army to transport heavy equipment from the country through the plateau to India than the Soviet army, and such logistical pressure is absolutely unbearable for the current flower planters.

Therefore, the logistics affairs still have to be handled by the US military, and let the US military's strategic transport fleet undertake the transportation task and directly transport the troops and equipment of the flower planters to India by air.

Moreover, the U.S. military will completely mechanize the troops of the planters in the next two years, although the Soviet army has a firepower advantage in the early stage of the war, but after two years, our army's equipment will catch up and be superior to the Soviet army!

It is foreseeable that on the Indian battlefield, the Air Force will become the main combat weapon! The Chinese and Soviet air forces would fight to the death in order to gain air supremacy and provide cover for the army.

Although the pilots have trained a lot, most of them can only fly backward second-generation aircraft, and more than 50 percent of the pilots are still in the stage of learning to fly propeller training planes, and it will take time to skillfully fly third-generation fighters.

In the skies over India, however, it was necessary to fight with the Soviet Union in over-the-horizon combat, and the danger it faced was air-to-ground air defense missiles and air-to-air missiles, and life and death had already been decided from a distance of several tens of kilometers, and close combat was secondary.

The main force sent to India by the Soviet Air Force is definitely the MiG-23 and the famous stainless steel interceptor MiG-25, as well as various strategic bombers, and there may be some MiG-29s participating in the war, but the number of third-generation Soviet light fighters that have just been put into production will not be very large.

China, on the other hand, has the support of US imperialism, and its air force is mainly F14, F15, and F16, three advanced third-generation fighters, which have absolute technological superiority in the face of the Soviet Air Force, and can basically guarantee to suppress the Soviet Air Force.

The only drawback is that the Chinese Air Force does not have enough pilots, and the Air Force may not be very willing to smash into the battlefield the family foundation that it has worked so hard to cultivate for decades!

Although our air force is a third-generation fighter, it cannot withstand a small number of fighters, and half of the third-generation fighters that the US imperialists have given to the flower planters in recent years have not yet been delivered. There is no comparison with the Soviet Air Force, which had 13,000 combat aircraft, although it was impossible for the Soviet Union to use all its aircraft on the Indian battlefield, after all, the Soviet Air Force was needed in Europe and the Far East.

However, if the war in India is in a hurry, it will be no problem to send over thousands of fighters, and the Chinese Air Force will have a shortage of planes and pilots, and it may be reimbursed in full within a month after the start of the war.

You must know that a third-generation pilot, selected from school at the age of 18, to school training, base training, and finally unit training, this process will take five years, and this can only guarantee that he can fly into the sky in a third-generation aircraft. It takes three or five years of training to coordinate all kinds of tactical actions and aircraft operations, and in the end, they are already in their thirties when they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Backed by the support of the US imperialists, the most important thing for the Chinese Air Force is to have airplanes, and when it comes to a war, the US imperialists will directly transfer the best fighters in the Air Force in service to China for practical use.

For the Chinese Air Force, on the contrary, there is an innumerable shortage of pilots, and if the first batch of veteran pilots who go to the battlefield are finished, they can only be rookies......

Two years ago, the Air Force selected more than 3,000 good seedlings from high schools and universities across the country and sent them to the United States for flight training of third-generation aircraft and carrier-based aircraft.

In the early days of the war, the two armies would only face each other, and once the Soviets digested the occupied areas of India and Pakistan, they would immediately attack, and then the air force would come into play.

Therefore, these pilots must speed up their training, quickly pass 100 hours of sortie training aircraft, and then learn advanced training aircraft operations, which is about 200 hours of flying to master the flight under simple meteorological conditions before they can really graduate and fly a fighter.

If one tenth of these 3,000 flight cadets can graduate early and join the battlefield after two years, then the Air Force will not have to worry about the problem of lack of talent.

Although these rookies who have only flown training planes for about 300 hours have no combat experience, compared with the old pilots of the Soviet Union who have thousands of hours of flying experience, they feel a bit like delivering food.

However, the rookie has the advantage of equipment, and the American-made third-generation aircraft is absolutely crushing the Soviet-based second-generation aircraft in terms of technology, and can run away after the over-the-horizon attack is finished.

What's more, the battlefield is the most tempering. As long as the rookies fight a few times and let go of their courage, their combat effectiveness will come up!

Veteran pilots know a lot about airplanes and tend to be cautious when flying. And the rookie is not familiar with the performance of the aircraft, flying into the sky and fighting a few battles, his self-confidence will burst, and he dares to fly all kinds of complex flight actions, and no matter how ruthless the old pilots of the Soviet army are, they are afraid of these rookies in our army.

As for the issue of allowing US pilots to join our Air Force on a temporary basis to supplement the shortage of pilots in our country, it is absolutely not feasible. In an air battle, the fighter was damaged, the pilot was sure to parachute, and the probability of the pilot being captured by the Soviets after landing was extremely high.

Because the Chinese side will definitely capture the pilots of the Soviet army, as long as Lao Maozi is not stupid, he will not kill our pilots without permission, so our army does not have to worry about the safety of the lives of the captured pilots, and the pilots can be brought back by changing prisoners at that time.

But if the pilot is an American, no! In particular, the Yankees' ejection seat technology is good, and the pilot can basically survive as long as he ejects, and the American soldiers are afraid of death, so they may eject themselves as soon as they are shot.

When the Soviets saw that the pilot was an American, it would definitely be a big trouble, and maybe Lao Maozi would see it as evidence of the US military's direct participation in the war!

It's good that this pilot will lose a few words of Chinese, at least he can dye his hair black in advance and pretend to be our Xinjiang people, anyway, Lao Maozi doesn't know Chinese, and when the time comes, he will say his name and identity in Chinese and shut his mouth and never speak again, and Lao Maozi interrogators have no rut.

But if this pilot can only speak English, and his willpower is not strong, he will be completely recruited as soon as he is sentenced. That will definitely be tortured by Lao Maozi to death first, dig up all the information that can be asked, and finally wash it up and use it to blackmail and threaten the US government.

Chen Xu knew too well the virtues of the Americans, and the US imperialist government's large-scale assistance to China in the war, and the money and weapons it contributed were out of strategic considerations to contain the expansion of the Soviet Union. On the surface, it is to support China free of charge, but in fact, it is to keep its hegemony in the world from being robbed by the Soviet Union!

But ordinary people don't have the ability to think at all, they don't care if you are strategic or not. In the eyes of the US imperialist people, this is using their tax money to subsidize the Chinese, and it is not pleasant to look at, if the photo of the Soviet Union pointing a gun at the US pilot's prisoner is in the newspaper, it will be strange that the media in the West who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic will not be bombed.

When the time comes, all the large-scale anti-war demonstrations will come, and the US imperialist government will be unable to ride the tiger, and it may have to cut off aid to pacify the people who are rioting at home.

Therefore, for various considerations, China and the United States will not agree to the US military directly going to the battlefield, at most, it is to send professional mechanics to help our army maintain machinery in logistics. (To be continued.) )
