Chapter 220: Fierce Battle 3

At night, except in the direction of the sea, Hanoi was already surrounded on three sides, and the army pressed the border, and the ZG government moved again, and the Vietnamese government had "no choice" but to surrender! Former Prime Minister Wu Zuoyi resigned as prime minister, and Defense Minister Wu Xiangshan succeeded him as prime minister, and then signed the defeat and surrender agreement...... The 500,000 Vietnamese soldiers, except for a few who died in battle, most of them became prisoners, and even some high-ranking government officials became "war criminals" and were about to be tried by China's military courts! In just five days, Vietnam announced its surrender, the entire territory was occupied by the squadron, and all the heads of the government and military were captured, which caused a great shock in the world! Although everyone knows that Vietnam can't fight China, but now it has really been destroyed, defeated and surrendered, and it is really a little unacceptable; The other four countries in Southeast Asia are also difficult to accept, although Vietnam has not done anything recently, but an important ally does not exist, it is inevitable that there is a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and a sweat for its own fate.

At the same time as China carried out its final attack on Vietnam, a large number of Thai fighters launched an attack on the squadron through the airspace of Laos, and a large number of bombers gathered near the border line, but they were intercepted by Chinese fighters with all their might, and the fighters of both sides carried out an air battle, but none of the pilots were captured, because neither side penetrated into the other side's airspace. The next day, a large number of Indian-Malaysian forces launched an active attack on China's air force stationed in Vietnam, and as a result, nearly 400 fighters from both sides engaged in the seventh major air battle of the Southeast Asian War in the southwest of the Nansha Islands, which caused the Indonesian bombers to return in vain, and the interception and counter-interception sides damaged each other, and nearly 150 fighters were shot down or damaged, of which 121 fighters were shot down. The two air divisions that China took off to meet the attack lost a total of 61 planes, of which 44 were shot down, 40 Malaysian fighters participating in the battle, 20 were shot down and another 5 were damaged, and Indonesia's 160 fighters, 57 were shot down and 6 were wounded, and the loss ratio of the two sides was 61 to 88 and the ratio of shot down was 44 to 77, which can be said to be heavy damage. China returned 148 fighters, 17 of which were injured, and some fighters have almost lost their repair value, Indonesia returned 97, of which 6 were injured, but they all insisted on returning to their bases (one of them was forced to land at the Malaysian airport), the result of this battle, which also shocked the world, in the case of one-on-one fighting, the losses of both sides were almost two to three, which is a result that both sides are unwilling to accept! Half of the planes Indonesian participated in the war were the most advanced fighters in active service with the US military and were piloted by active pilots, and 24 of these fighters were shot down and three were injured, which made the Americans very unhappy. And the Chinese were even more surprised, this was the most seriously damaged since the beginning of the war, a total of 61 fighters, which exceeded the total number of previous losses, and this is still in the case of a balance of forces, and even more so when the other side has three series of aircraft! And if all the US fighters are on active duty, wouldn't the losses be even greater!

Therefore, the two sides have to be careful to carry out a new round of probing. However, the Chinese side is even more worried that the division, which has been tested in many wars and has rich experience in battles, has only fought a draw with the US military, and if the Americans are allowed to adapt to the battlefield again, what will be the outcome? Fortunately, the sea supremacy is firmly in the hands of the Chinese Navy, and the United States has a huge navy that is limited to concerns and does not penetrate deeply, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for the two air divisions to be fully staffed in a short period of time; Even so, the huge losses also made the military grin in distress, dozens of fighters are gone, and now military production is very tight, in less than a month, the loss of fighters has reached 128!

The first confrontation between the two sides was the beginning of a series of air battles, and small-scale air battles continued to occur, and the reason for the air battles was some Chinese ship targets, because the Chinese side had bombed almost all that Thailand and Malaysia could bomb, and there were no big battle targets, and for China, large-scale air battles were no longer worth it. As long as the Chinese side does not take the initiative, the coalition forces have to weigh and do, and a direct attack on the Chinese air force base in Vietnam has proved impossible, and the coalition forces are not without long-range missiles, but the Chinese are particularly taboo about this, and they have long been eliminated in the early stage of the war, and now even if there are some, they can no longer play a role, and they do not dare to easily incur China's "retaliation" until the last resort, and even the Americans strictly restrict the flow of long-range attack missiles to Southeast Asia. As long as the Chinese Air Force does not take the initiative to attack, then the coalition forces have nothing to do, because they are very reluctant to meet near the Chinese base, which even the two air divisions can't see, if the Thai Navy has not been killed before, or the Malaysian Navy is left, the two sides still have a lottery to borrow, but now...... In fact, there is no shortage of targets in the South China Sea, where Chinese fighters searched and attacked coalition ships, but now coalition fighters are searching for and attacking Chinese ships. The navy of the coalition forces is gone, so China's will also disappear, let this sea become a complete vacuum, so the Chinese are unwilling, this sea is theirs, not to mention that this is still an important dependence on them to continue fighting!

After April 2, there has been no large-scale air battle in Southeast Asia for many days, but small-scale air battles are going on one after another, at least dozens of battles, more than 400 aircraft participating in the war, sometimes it is a small contact between several pairs of fighters, sometimes it is a group fight between two squadrons, and during this period, at least 5 Chinese ships were damaged, one of which basically lost its combat capability, and it was only after being escorted by more than 20 fighters in turn to get out of the danger area, and it is said that the pilots brought back by her exceeded a flight regiment, You can see the intensity of the battle. Due to the heavy casualties of various units, there was often a phenomenon of dissatisfaction with the soldiers, the first group of pilots were still on the ships, and the latter group of pilots were rescued by other ships, and this situation also made the coalition forces throw into the trap, and even the strange phenomenon of only injuring Chinese ships, because their own pilots were also on these ships! In order to prevent her comrades from dying in the belly of the fish and damaging the battleship, it can only make her incapacitated, and it is also a good choice, there is a cartoon like this, a wounded Chinese warship loaded with a large number of coalition and American pilots slowly sailed out of the military port, and the destination is the South China Sea, where the war is being felt. There are also some armed merchant ships of the coalition forces cruising in the South China Sea regardless of life and death, but the Chinese fighters are all sunk or damaged regardless of their identity and origin, and they do not give the other side any chance at all. After many successive operations, the two air divisions were already scarred and fatigued, the troops were greatly reduced, and many pilots were injured and lost their combat capability in a short period of time. As a last resort, the Air Force once again changed its guards, and the 3rd Division of the Navy's Air Force left with the achievement of shooting down 185 fighters and 49 sorties shot down itself, while the 2nd Air Division returned to southeastern Fujian with 260 fighters and 74 sorties shot down. The coalition forces were not easy, 50 fighters were shot down and 22 were damaged in the later period, and only 14 of the US fighters were shot down and several were damaged, and the pilots were already exhausted!

Just before the main force of the 2nd HNA Division was re-stationed at the base in Vietnam, the strength of the Southeast Asian coalition had increased again, and Malaysia accepted another batch of 50 fighters provided by India, and initially formed combat effectiveness. According to intelligence, the United States has also provided Indonesia and Thailand with "special-purpose" fighters, which has greatly enhanced the combat capability of the coalition forces, and a large number of active and retired pilots of the US military have participated in the war, posing a great threat to the air force stationed in Vietnam. At the same time, new export-oriented advanced fighters will soon be equipped with the coalition forces, and many coalition pilots will go to the United States for training in the hope of quickly adapting to these fighters and reducing the pressure on the battlefield on the Americans...... Back in Vietnam again, everyone is a little excited, the base has expanded a lot compared to before, the weather is much hotter, the rainy season has come, the bad weather has undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the battle, and the new opponent is even more exciting for this ace pilot, just the upcoming competition with the world's most powerful air force, they are excited, and they can't help but be ambitious! The flight regiments of the Second Division of the HNA did not come to Vietnam all at once, in fact, as early as mid-to-late April, individual pilots had already arrived at Dongpo Airport, of course, this was a very secret thing!

Lin * and several comrades-in-arms greeted everyone together, and they were going to fight side by side again, and the young man couldn't help but think of some of the past! The comrades-in-arms found that Lin * seemed a little unhappy, a pair of eyes seemed to be searching for something, everyone soon understood what he was looking for, "heroic beauty" and "heavy color forgetfulness" are very common things, but no one can do anything, although Colonel Lin is doomed to disappointment! Lin * also knew that his girlfriend had returned to Beijing, and the day after he left the Hainan base and secretly rushed back to Vietnam, Liu Yingchen left Hainan according to the predetermined plan, but like all men and women in love, he always wanted to see an unexpected situation, perhaps, she is back again! But the helpless expression on Old Man Mei completely shattered the illusions of the young man, and the situation did not allow him to be so unpleasant any longer, and his comrades-in-arms had surrounded them and expressed their joy and respect in the most enthusiastic way they could. No way, everyone is too proud of them, because in the recent air battle, they shot down 13 fighters with zero losses, and it is said that 8 of the world's most advanced fighters have been shot down, and everyone has shot down the active fighters of the US military. And their best pilot, Lin *, single-handedly shot down two US fighters in active service and shot down one advanced fighter imported by the coalition forces. And the 3rd Flying Regiment is the proudest, because the other two pilots who participated in the battle, Fang Wei shot down two US fighters, and Chen Shijun shot down a US fighter and an Indonesian fighter, which is a very face-saving thing!

The re-entry of the two air divisions into the war made the allied forces and the American pilots gasp, the allied forces have been disabled by the second naval aviation division, this aviation division is a nightmare that they can never erase, because she is too strong, and every country has learned a painful lesson; Although the Americans did not take the Chinese Air Force seriously, they were really unsure of this opponent, which was said to be stronger than their previous opponents. According to intelligence analysis, it is very likely that some people in the Second HNA Division have suffered several major setbacks recently; the Chinese have always liked to engage in the trick of stealing the false and the real and stealing the beams and changing the pillars; not to mention, it is said that 14 pilots of this aviation division shot down more than 10 allied fighters; this is not a joke; there is no luck on the battlefield, there is no real talent, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces is not vulnerable! But each pilot thinks that he is the best, and if he shoots down a pilot who is said to be a good pilot, he proves that he is even better, so everyone knows each other and is determined to fight again! In fact, at this time, there were not many US pilots participating in the war, and at least half of the total 200 advanced fighters were piloted by retired pilots, and it was not a real Sino-US confrontation. And the loss of just a few fighters a day will not achieve the purpose of the battle, and this is also not in line with the strategic purpose of the US military to contain China; if the war continues so painlessly, the Southeast Asian coalition forces will not agree, this is not openly fighting a war of attrition, is this not openly treating them as a playground, other countries are developing their economies, but they cannot do anything, the war will not end in a hundred years, the common people will not agree, and at the same time, even the domestic people of the United States will not agree! As a result, the Americans, who thought they had enough knowledge of the Chinese Air Force, and the coalition forces, who thought that their combat strength had risen rapidly, started to think about it again, and a new campaign attempt was soon brewed!

The coalition forces are in a dilemma as to what targets to attack. On the one hand, the domestic anti-war momentum has been very large, on the other hand, the economic situation is gradually tightening, and a large number of unemployed and hungry people are gradually uncontrollable. Moreover, the damage to China from this kind of war is not great, the national economy is still rising, and the replenishment of war materials, especially fighter planes, has gradually intensified, and it seems that a balance has been reached. This situation is unbearable for the coalition forces, but the Chinese side obviously will not take the initiative to attack, even the Americans realize that the coalition forces have no "targets worth attacking", the Malaysian and Thai navies have been completely destroyed, the airport has been bombed into a mess, the Indonesian Navy seems to have been abandoned by the Chinese, not to mention that the strategic attempt can be achieved by closely relying on the submarine blockade, Kalimantan Island, which is worth bombing on land, has become a ruin, and Sumatra is still worth hitting, but in the current situation, the Chinese obviously will not have such plans! The Chinese have already taken the initiative to attack many times, and it stands to reason that the coalition forces should also attack, but to lure the snake out of the hole, you have to find an excuse. The Chinese air base in Vietnam, the coalition forces have no bottom in their hearts, they have already had two failures, the bombers simply cannot reach the predetermined airspace, and again, none of the operational staff officers dare to bring it up! So, let's strike at naval targets, both to force China to cede sea supremacy and to prompt its air force to support, so which target to strike? "Aircraft carrier"? The Americans will not agree, although they are willing, and they know that there will be no good results, and even if the aircraft carrier battle group in the sea off the coast of the Philippines is dispatched, it will not necessarily succeed, and other air forces on China's southeast border will certainly not sit idly by, so will it not evolve into a direct Sino-US war? If in the past, the Americans could still consider a Sino-US war in Southeast Asia, now, this possibility is getting smaller and smaller!

The heart of the coalition army suddenly lit up, yes, it was him, leading the snake out of the hole, reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, that's all!
