The clouds are stacked high in the sky, and a huge plane peeks out of the clouds and fog to show its belly, which looks like a Boeing 707 from the outside, but the huge plate on its back has already told everyone that this is a large E3 watchtower early warning aircraft. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Its fuselage paint is a typical turtle paint, and a large red five-pointed star is sandwiched between a red rectangle at the tail of the aircraft, which has yellow numbers written on it, letting people know that this is the early warning aircraft of the Chinese Air Force.

This E3 early warning aircraft has been in China for a long time, and those research institutes under the military have also thoroughly understood its performance, at least there is no obstacle to its use.

Actual combat is the best environment for testing the performance of equipment, and after the Sino-Vietnamese border became tense again, this air sentry frequently took off in the air to reconnoiter military intelligence in Vietnam.

Because the Vietnamese army had fighter jets and anti-aircraft missiles aided by the Soviet Union, AWACS aircraft did not dare to enter the territory of Vietnam.

At the beginning, after the Air Force tasted the benefits of early warning aircraft, it again imported several planes from the United States to increase its reconnaissance force, and now the Air Force's early warning technology has reached eight, and there were originally 10 planes, but two of them were dismantled for research.

These eight AWACS aircraft were basically deployed on the side of the Far Eastern Line of Defense and were used to detect the movements of Soviet troops. After the Sino-Vietnamese border was in an emergency, the air force sent one over to reconnoiter Vietnam's military intelligence.

Escorted by four land-based F14 Tomcat fighter jets, the sentry flew through the Gulf of Tonkin and drew a map along the land border of the monkeys as it crossed the Vietnamese waterfront. Vietnam does not have air defense in the coastal zone, so there is little need to worry about being shot down.

As for the Vietnamese Air Force, every time the Chinese early warning aircraft is discovered, the countries with a big nose in Vietnam will be detected by the early warning aircraft as soon as their fighters fly together, and when the MiG fighters fly over, the early warning planes have already returned to the side of the territorial waters of the planters, and the MiG fighters can only linger on the center line of the territorial waters of China and Vietnam, and do not dare to cross the line!

Every time they encounter this game of cat and mouse, the pilots of the four Tomcat fighters will be ready to wait for the Vietnamese MiGs to cross the border and turn into medals on their chests.

However, the Vietnamese pilots knew that the performance of their aircraft was not comparable to that of the Tomcat fighters of the flower family, and they were playing with their lives when they crossed the national border. So each time it was just a demonstrative flight with AWACS aircraft over the territory of Vietnam, and then dared to go back before running out of fuel.

After the Vietnamese fighters withdrew, the early warning planes would once again invade Vietnamese territory to conduct aerial reconnaissance.

Chen Xu leaned over and looked at the MiG fighter farther and farther away outside the porthole, and his heart was extremely happy.

Just now, when he saw the Vietnamese plane roaring in, his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, and if he returned to China's airspace a little slowly, people would really open fire.

It is not that the Vietnamese army does not dare to use missiles, but after they lock on to the early warning plane with fire control radar, the Tomcat fighters escorting the aircraft next to it will decide that this is the active attack of the Vietnamese army, and they will immediately launch over-the-horizon missiles to shoot down the opponent.

Under the command of the AWACS aircraft, the Tomcat fighter has almost the top air combat capability in this era, and the MiG fighter of the Vietnamese army only has the share of food delivery!

After the MiG fighters were shot down several times, the Vietnamese army did not dare to turn on the fire control radar again, but dared to approach and attack with machine guns.

As for the fighter plane being shot down, the Vietnamese army will only admit defeat and admit defeat, and it will have to go through constant friction between the two sides on the land border, kill the other side's soldiers, send agents to the other side's territory to scratch their tongues, or blow up your front-line radar base, in fact, it is already in a state of war, but both sides are not ready.

After Chen Xu became the deputy director of the war room of the 69th Army, he immediately changed from the head of a state-owned enterprise to an active-duty soldier.

However, the rank of major promised by my father is a joke, there are no epaulettes on his military uniform at all, it is just an ordinary military uniform, and no one will believe that he is a group army chief staff officer wherever he goes.

Fortunately, Chen Dasan is a captain, and several other guards are also lieutenants, and the personal guards are all middle-level officers, so Chen Xu is majestic even if he has no military rank, but it is more deterrent than hanging up his rank.

This war will be commanded by Daddy Chen Zhuo, Chen Xu has great influence on Daddy, so it can also be said that Chen Xu is indirectly commanding this war.

Only the group of veteran generals of the Central Military Commission have no experience in this kind of informationized warfare, and they cannot analyze the reason for this only by relying on the theoretical documents that the US imperialists have taken from the Pentagon's Institute for Strategic Studies.

Don't look at Chen Xu is just a recruit now, but he was a soldier for 36 years in his previous life, and he received special forces training and military strategy training, 03 US military operations against Iraq, the entire intelligence bureau was staring at the changes in the war situation throughout the whole process, from NATO first used Tomahawks and strategic bombers to wash the ground, and surgically accurate strikes on important military targets and command structures of the Iraqi army, this is the "Decapitation Plan" that caused a sensation around the world, and then launched the desert saber operation, so that the Iraqi army was attracted to the coastal landing zone, Then the U.S. military went around the back with a left hook, outflanked the main force of the Iraqi army in a roundabout way, and directly knocked out Iraq.

Chen Xu may not have commanded the war, but the 69th Army and the Long Live Army are fully mechanized, plus with sufficient air power, he can completely follow the 03 U.S. Army's beheading plan and the Desert Saber Operation to deliver a clean military strike on the Vietnamese army, completely eliminating the military presence of the Vietnamese army in the northern region.

The key is that the territory of Vietnam is a dumbbell with two large ends and a small middle, Chen Xu looked at the thirty heavy divisions of the Vietnamese army arranged on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and suddenly felt that why did the 69th Army attack from the front?

The army directly crossed the Beibu Gulf from Hainan to conduct a landing operation, which was actually even faster!

As long as the decapitation tactics first destroy the command center of the Vietnamese army throughout the country, and then use bombers to break the will of the Vietnamese army to resist, and then use helicopters and airdrop troops as the main force to directly airdrop Hanoi from the direction of Hainan, and insert a knife into the heart of Vietnam from the side!

After the capital was breached, the road was copied, and the Vietnamese army on the front line would collapse in an instant, and when the time came, the follow-up troops would be dispatched to cut off the connection between North and South Vietnam, and then slowly clean up the leaderless Vietnamese army.

As soon as Chen Xu's idea came out, he couldn't help but want to turn the plan into reality and tell the plan to his father and the commander of the Long Live Army, the bosses of the two group armies were dumbfounded, they probably didn't expect that Chen Xu was still dissatisfied with the original frontal breakthrough and long-distance military plan, and actually wanted to use a more risky and faster attack plan.

The two military bigwigs did not agree with Chen Xu's plan, and both thought that there was no need to take such risks, but the senior military adviser of the Pentagon who was listening was full of praise for Chen Xu's plan, and he believed that in this way he could give full play to the maximum power of American-made equipment!

Chen Xu's idea was that if an airborne division could be sent to break through Hanoi, then the Vietnamese troops on the border would completely lose confidence in resisting.

Because when the capital is still there, the Soviet-armed Vietnamese army on the border will still resist stubbornly, even if the 69th Group Army and the Long Live Army can quickly open two gaps in the Vietnamese defense line, but during this period there will still be a lot of casualties, as few as a few hundred, as many as a thousand.

For Chen Xu, who pursues zero casualties, it is not enough to die one more soldier of our army in this war!

Because of the support of the US military advisers, Daddy's will is not so firm, after all, the Americans must know better the performance of American-made equipment, and if airborne operations are feasible, then this kind of surprise attack tactics can not be tried.

He asked Chen Xu to go to Hainan first to explore the terrain and study the feasibility of using helicopter units and airborne troops for joint operations.

Therefore, Chen Xu came to Guangxi with several staff officers from the war room, and then took the early warning plane of reconnaissance and intelligence to overlook the Beibu Gulf from a high altitude.

Chen Xu looked at Bailongwei Island, which was only the size of a mung bean, and said in English to the senior military adviser of the Pentagon next to him: "The weather conditions in Beibu Gulf are good, but this bay is a little too big, almost 500 kilometers from Haikou to Hanoi, which is still quite stressful for the helicopter full of soldiers and equipment." ”

"Chen! In fact, we can also choose to carry out a surprise attack from the land direction, and the Sino-Vietnamese border friendship pass is only 135 kilometers away from Hanoi, which is only ten minutes for a helicopter. "General Howard also has a telescope in his hand, as long as he is a discerning person, he knows that the sea conditions in the Gulf of Tonkin are very suitable for flying, and if he really wants to raid Vietnam, he can indeed be caught off guard.

Howard is a general, and he wears a sapphire West Point graduation ring on his finger, symbolizing that he is a graduate of a prestigious school and belongs to the military system of the United States.

Howard is just one of the 150-member military advisers sent by the Pentagon to China, and these advisers do not have any command authority, and their task is to report to the Pentagon in a timely manner the arrangements and movements of the Chinese military, so that the US aircraft carrier fleet in Asia can actively cooperate in the operation.

In other words, if Chen Xu wants to attack a military target of the Vietnamese army, he can give an attack order to the US warship in the Beibu Gulf through Howard, and in a few minutes, the Tomahawk missile will fly into the sky and kill the target.

Chinese officers don't have the authority to order U.S. missiles to be fired, but General Howard can, and that's the role of these military advisers, who will fully cooperate with the Chinese military in the operation, try to end the fighting in Vietnam as soon as possible, and free up China's hands to march into India.

Chen Xu looked at the ring on Howard's middle finger with some envy, shook his head and said: "The risk of air raids from land is still a bit big, there must be Vietnamese air defense positions along the way, and when the time comes, hundreds of helicopters of our army will fly over, not to mention anti-aircraft missiles, even Vietnamese soldiers with RPGs on their backs can easily shoot down a few." Our plane was full of soldiers, like the Chinook, which was loaded with 45 heavily armed soldiers, and the loss of being beaten down would make my heart ache! ”

"That's a nuisance!" General Howard also shrugged helplessly. (To be continued.) )
