Chapter 899: The Verge!
Ever since the Central Committee decided to send troops to Vietnam and completely occupy the northern part of Vietnam, the whole army has been discussing the final direction of this war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And in the end, the imperial capital only needs half of Vietnam, and the remaining half is gone.
However, after Huang Qinghua looked at the final operational map of the Military Commission, he found that Cam Ranh Bay, the most important deep-water port in Vietnam, was not within the scope of occupation. The reason was that the Military Commission was worried that the Soviet Navy would overreact and trigger a military conflict between China and the Soviet Union, and after thinking twice, it decided to abandon the bay.
As commander of the navy, he will one day be able to effectively control the entire South China Sea, which is his ultimate goal in building a navy. As for the task of leaving the Pacific Ocean and building an ocean-going navy for the country, it can only be entrusted to the successor.
Now that Cam Ranh Bay is at his fingertips, Huang Qinghua thought about it day and night and decided to use his connections to ask the army to help occupy this Cam Ranh Bay.
Huang Qinghua first went to the commander of the 69th Army Group Army, Chen Minghui, but Chen Zhuo thought that now was not the time to provoke the Soviet army, so he politely rejected his request. Fortunately, Commander Liu Ying of the Banzai Army happened to be not very satisfied with the CMC's strategy of occupying only half of Vietnam, and if he could eat Cam Ranh Bay, it would mean that he would be able to occupy at least two-thirds of Vietnam's territory, which would be much beyond the CMC's advance battle plan.
However, it is normal for the front-line troops to do some unplanned things, so Commander Liu Ying decided to risk being removed from the rank, hit it off with Huang Qinghua, and decided to try to touch Cam Ranh Bay after the war to see if he could do it!
If the Banzai Army can take Cam Ranh Bay, this military port will become the heart and soul of the navy, just like Pearl Harbor is to the U.S. military, Cape Town Naval Base is to the United Kingdom, Cam Ranh Bay Military Port will become the core of the Navy's control of the South China Sea, and can even directly threaten the U.S. Naval Base in Singapore and the Subic Naval Base in the Philippines, these two military bases are stubbornly guarding the Strait of Malacca. It is a big problem for the flower planter.
During the Cold War, the Soviets controlled Cam Ranh Bay and the U.S. military controlled Subic Bay, and the two world hegemons used these two military bases as bridgeheads, constantly clashing and confronting each other in the South China Sea, treating it as their own backyard.
Because there are no big ships and huge ships, and the real masters of this sea area can only look at the ocean and sigh, and make trouble with them!
When the war began, our army easily captured Hanoi all the way, and then the Banzai Army divided a tank division and an infantry division to move south to expand the results as much as possible.
On the one hand, the gas turbine of the M1 tank is not adapted to the tropical rainforest climate, and there are frequent problems that need to be repaired, and on the other hand, the Soviet army has already reacted violently, and there is a great sense that the tank division will not die if it goes further.
The tank division did not dare to advance, and called to ask the top brass about the meaning, and Commander Liu Ying and Commander Huang Qinghua, the two main planners of the attack on Cam Ranh Bay, were in a state of hesitation.
And the imperial capital must have received the rumors, but it has remained silent, obviously not ready to intervene. If the two commanders succeeded in occupying Cam Ranh Bay, it would of course be a great joy for the country, and the imperial capital would be happy to see it. But if the occupation fails, the two commanders will have to bear the consequences of sending troops without authorization, and their resignation is certain.
Where there are people, there is competition, and this matter is the result of the two commanders making decisions without authorization, and the emperor cannot be blamed for not saving him.
Dad just saw the risk of this matter, so he refused to cooperate with the Navy, Dad has his own backing, and the position of Minister of Defense is already vacant, so he can't take this risk.
However, for the sake of national interests, if Cam Ranh Bay can be turned into a military port for flower growers, it is bound to play a very key role in controlling the South China Sea in the future. That's why he gave them an idea when the Banzai Army was in a dilemma, and let the tank division continue to move forward to put more pressure on the Soviet Navy and let them retreat in the face of difficulties.
After receiving the call, Commander Liu Ying of the Long Live Army also discussed and considered with the staff officers in the war room of the group army for half an hour, and finally felt that Chen Xu's opinion was good, and now the Soviet Union was at a disadvantage, and there was no need to worry about the consequences of the Soviet army!
After receiving the order, Division Commander Peng Gang immediately ordered the corrected tank division to continue to advance and march towards Cam Ranh Bay under the cover of the infantry division!
The South Vietnamese government in Saigon had symbolically sent an army of more than 10,000 men to the city closest to Tuy Hoa to confront the Chinese army.
However, after learning that the tanks of the Chinese army had been launched again, and the target seemed to be the Soviets, the commander of this army was so frightened that the souls of the dead were all scared, and the great gods fought and the little ghosts suffered, the commander hurriedly gave the order to retreat, and then got on the helicopter and ran away first.
Division Commander Peng Gang received an order to march towards Cam Ranh Bay at the slowest speed to put pressure on the Soviet troops in the military port! If the Soviets do not retreat to this extent, then they will surround this base, but they must not have any contact with the Soviets.
As the world hegemon, the Red Empire has a profound impact not only on the United States, but also on the flower growers.
Peng Gang also didn't expect that he would become the first commander of the whole army to command the troops to fight the Soviet army head-on, this is not a war of words, but a real powerless confrontation!
Although the navy in Cam Ranh Bay does not have heavy weapons such as tanks, it has road-based missile positions, and there are missiles on the warships, not to mention that there are bombers and fighters in the base, and more than 20,000 soldiers are stationed at the same time.
Fortunately, its own air force is not inferior, and it is always hovering in the air, driving away Soviet planes and protecting the safety of ground troops.
Compared with the ground troops' slow and leisurely advance, the air force units have already been on the bar with the air force in Cam Ranh Bay, and they are constantly using fire control radars to irradiate each other, but fortunately, both sides know the consequences of launching missiles, so no one has ever pressed the launch button, maintaining the last bit of restraint.
The Air Force's F14 fighter formation is now very nervous, because the Soviet planes stationed at the naval base are the third-generation aircraft of the MiG series, and they have a fight with the F14, and they don't know who is stronger when they really fight!
