Chapter 199: The Battle Begins 8

Through the battle in the early morning of the 23rd, the Chinese side seriously weakened the Thai Navy, dealt a heavy blow to the air combat power of Malaysia and Thailand, basically wiped out Malaysia's maritime power, and greatly weakened the arrogance of the three countries! Information in modern society is very developed, and there are a large number of reporters and news gathering and editing personnel in Southeast Asia and China, and the news of the war is quickly spread. In just three days after the start of the war, China "crushed Vietnam," "paralyzed the Philippine airline," and "wiped out the Malaysian" navy; these three major war results spread rapidly, and almost every opponent was severely damaged in three wars. Everyone found that except for the "rule of a thousand islands", the other four countries have been fatally hit, and China's strong military power has shocked the whole world. Dare to ask how many countries in the world have been able to achieve such amazing results against the Southeast Asian five-nation alliance in just three days, and even Russia, a military power, admits that it "can't do it", who is willing to act as an opponent of such a powerful country? China not only caught the Southeast Asian countries off guard, but also made some countries behind it hesitate, since the start of the war only three days, only 43 hours, less than two full days, China's army has not been fully assembled, the opponents have suffered heavy losses, how can such a war be fought, can it continue?

Although the army of the five countries in Southeast Asia is relatively weak, but the air force is quite strong, the world unanimously recognizes that the Southeast Asian air force is the world's first-class air force, experts are no strangers to some figures, before the start of the war, Indonesia has more than 300 advanced fighters, more than 500 ordinary fighters, Malaysia has more than 200 advanced fighters, more than 300 ordinary fighters, Thailand has more than 320 advanced fighters, there are more than 400 ordinary fighters, and the alliance of the three has a total of more than 2,400 fighters. Among them, there are nearly 900 advanced fighters, and if the other two countries are counted, the number of fighters is more than 3,500, including more than 1,300 advanced fighters. But what will be the end, defeat!

So what about the current situation, experts do not know the actual losses of each country, but it is certain that Vietnam has lost its combat power, and its total number of more than 600 fighters, of which more than 200 advanced fighters are negligible; The losses of the Philippines are also very huge, its fighter jets have been directly destroyed nearly 60, and all of them are advanced fighters, if you add the fighters destroyed on the ground, the number will be even larger, plus the destruction of airport facilities, it has also lost its combat capability in the short term, and cannot effectively support its allies; For the remaining three countries, judging from the specific confirmed figures, more than 80 fighters have been reduced today. In other words, since the start of the war, the five-nation coalition has lost at least more than 340 advanced fighters, and the actual loss figure may be even more, while the Chinese side has only shot down 27 fighters, and the comparison of the numbers is shocking!

China concentrated its limited forces and defeated its opponents individually, successfully changing the battlefield situation, turning its relative disadvantage into a local advantage, and gaining the strategic initiative. According to the analysis of world military intelligence, although there are a large number of Chinese fighters, many aviation divisions are equipped with relatively backward fighters, and in fact there are only a few aviation divisions that can be used, and these aviation divisions must not only protect some strategic points, but also deploy defense in coastal areas, such as the capital Beijing area and nearby coastal areas, the Shandong Peninsula, the Liaodong Peninsula, the important economic zones in East China, especially the Yangtze River Delta region, the areas near the Taiwan Strait, and the frontline areas along the southeast coast. Even some important facilities in the interior have to be protected by aviation regiments, and this makes the number of fighters that can be used to fight in the south limited, especially the US aircraft carrier clusters gathered off the coast of the Philippines, and it is impossible to rely solely on carrier-based aircraft to fight at all, so a large number of aviation divisions have to be prepared to assist in defense; therefore, the forces that can be put into the war in Southeast Asia are very limited, and this requires that the opponent's war capability be weakened one step ahead by concentrating superior forces.

Since the area around Li Zhiming City has been captured by the squadron, it is only a matter of time to solve the remnants of the enemy, and some military airports are already under the strict protection of the army units, so the Chinese began to use these airports, a large number of planes have been transferred, and many planes participating in the first major air battle in Southeast Asia have landed nearby. In addition to some of the army aviation brigades that had previously entered the airfields around Li Zhiming City, there were also two aviation divisions stationed in the sea, these two aviation divisions were the Second Air Aviation Division and the First Air Force Division, and just after the execution of the destruction of the Malaysian Navy, Lim* and his teammates were stationed at the military airfields around Li Zhiming City! The headquarters of the 2nd HNA Division was located at Dongpo Airport, and the 3rd Flying Regiment was also stationed at this airfield, while the 1st Air Force Division stationed in Vietnam set up its headquarters at Li Chi Minh Airport, the largest civilian international airport in southern Vietnam. These two divisions are the main units of the Chinese Air Force stationed in Vietnam, China's air hand in the Indochina Peninsula, and will also be the most important force in the air game between China and Southeast Asia! The headquarters of the 2nd HNA Division began to move from the early morning of the 23rd, and by the time they landed at Dongpo Airport, only a small part of the equipment had arrived, and a large amount of equipment was still backlogged in the port, and it was even on its way to southern Vietnam. A large number of airfields built by the Vietnamese were put to good use, some of which were used as bases for new aviation divisions, some as bases for army aviation brigades, and some as back-up airfields...... Due to the shortage of hangars at the airport, new temporary hangars are being urgently erected, and the dormitories of officers and soldiers are also being urgently assembled.

The two aircraft carrier battle groups did not stay long near the Gulf of Thailand, and after recovering all the fighters, at about 8 o'clock in the morning, they began to move to the northeast, and in front of them was the Philippines, the first country to start the war, and in the ocean east of the Philippines, the three US advance aircraft carrier formations finally arrived slowly. At about 4 p.m. the next day, the three main fleets in the South China Sea finally met and anchored in the ocean 300 nautical miles west of the Philippines, while the Chinese detachment in the northeast of the Philippines also ceased its activities. By 9 a.m. on the 23rd, the army had reached 300,000 troops assembled in Liangguang and Yunnan, and 200,000 people had been assembled on the northern front line on the Vietnamese battlefield on the front line, and a large number of army units were being loaded on ships ready for shipment, and their destination would be southern Vietnam. Compared to the fierce fighting over the Gulf of Thailand, the Philippines, which was the first to fight, was unusually calm, with not a single Chinese fighter jet to harass it, even the navy was far from the coastline, and the Philippine side almost ceased all activities...... There were no large-scale battles in Vietnam either, except for the occasional bomber or two bombers conducting bomb dropping "training" on the forward positions on the Northern Front, although from time to time fighters took off on the Southern Front, and from time to time there was a loud noise of bomb explosions!

Lin* landed at the airport in Vietnam smoothly, which was also the first time in his life that he set foot in a foreign land! Previously, he had flown to the Philippines and made a short stop over Malaysia, but he had never been abroad since he was a child. In the past, listening to the eldest brother talk about their experiences in Europe, North America and Southeast Asia once made the young children full of illusions about foreign countries; When he was in high school, listening to his classmates talk about the beautiful scenery of the Caribbean, the romance of Hawaii, and the customs of South Africa, he was full of expectations for a foreign country...... It may seem strange to say, although he was born in that family, he has either studied or trained since he was a child, and was either forced by his mother to learn to dance, or learned martial arts under the leadership of his uncle and brothers, so that until now he has only been to a few scenic spots in China. It wasn't until he was a freshman in high school that he had the opportunity to go to various places to increase his knowledge, but it was only this once, and he had no chance since then, and he originally thought that he would have more time after he arrived at university, but the sudden outbreak of the economic crisis changed everything, and after stepping into the barracks, he had no time to wander! In fact, it can't be said that the training when he was a child had no effect, at least in the entire division, no one dared to say that the dance was better than him, this is what he has been practicing since he was a child, of course, for some reason, he is only proficient in this kind of dance. Of course, his skills are not bad, and he confidently said that he can be ranked in the top three at home, except for the sixteenth brother, the rest are not taken seriously, especially the playboy-like little brother.

Speaking of the little brother, Lin * felt a little uncomfortable, this guy is already married, and he married three women at once, this momentum is said to be even stronger than that of his father, I heard that when his father was 22 years old, he was still alone. Due to the difficult training in the military camp and the fact that they live in a pile of men, they rarely have the opportunity to contact women, and there are some women in the aviation school, such as some administrators, catering waiters, and some female cadets, but there are not many of these people, and most of them cannot socialize; Even now he doesn't know where those female classmates have gone, anyway, there is not a single officer and soldier of the Second Division of the HNA in the same period! He knew that many of his comrades-in-arms had girlfriends, and even some of them were married, and before the war, everyone had worked personal matters, for example, the wife of the colonel and regimental commander lived in the dormitory of the officers and soldiers of the Second Navigation Division, but the colonel had his own separate apartment, in fact, according to his title, the captain could have a separate dormitory, but those young people could not, like him, he lived with his comrade-in-arms Chen Shijun. He knew that Chen Shijun already had a girlfriend, and he heard that he was very beautiful, but he didn't hear of it, everyone had seen the photos!

Since he was stationed at Dongpo Airport, Lin * has been relatively leisurely, although there are busy figures everywhere, but there are really many people like him who are so leisurely, lieutenant pilots, captain pilots, major pilots, lieutenant colonel pilots...... But there are only so many things, for example, the regiment commander, he can't be so idle, Colonel Political Commissar Liu Peng can't be idle, the life of the whole regiment and other affairs have to be managed by him, and other troops can also be managed by the deputy regiment commander, but the air force unit can't, the deputy regiment commander is also a pilot, these things can't be managed, and there is no such thing in the work arrangement!

When there was nothing to do, Lin * walked around the airport in a major uniform, some construction workers were building housing, and the young people couldn't stay idle, so they picked up a "brick", good guy, very light, and hurriedly put it down. He was a little embarrassed, because he found out that these things were actually produced by his father's company, but he didn't know that the family's business had already been done by the army, and they had crossed the ocean and came to Vietnam! I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassed, he became interested in this new house, with his vision, he knew that these construction workers were not engineers, and the engineers didn't seem to be as skilled as them, wandering around the neighborhood for a while, I couldn't help it anymore, I went up and asked, it turned out to be Shenwei Company, which scared him even more, and I was surprised in my heart, to say that this can also be said to be a "relative" in another country. The young man's strange reaction made several construction workers stunned, thinking to themselves how can this soldier now have such a shallow knowledge, isn't it just some synthetic materials, this thing is light, and pollution-free, it can prevent rain and sun, there is no "profound" scientific and technological content, Shenwei Company has more good things than this, can you use it so surprised? These soldiers are really pitiful, the whole of them are outdated, but with their protection, life can be stable, so everyone is also very polite to Major Lin. Lin * didn't know that he had brought people a misunderstanding, although he couldn't help, he stayed for a long time before leaving! If at this time, the Thai, Malaysian or Indonesian, or even the Filipinos come to raid the Dongpo airport, it will definitely be a great gain, a large number of fighters are still parked in the simple hangar, the original hangar is not enough at all, a large number of personnel are still wandering around the airport, some are busy with construction, some are building the control tower (the original control tower was blown up), and some are building the electronic instrument room. After wandering around the housing construction area for a while, he came to the vicinity of the conning tower, which is the core area of the entire division headquarters and the airport, a large amount of equipment has been brought in, the original facilities have been demolished and moved, and there are many expert engineers who are directing or talking on the spot, and occasionally he can see one or two soldiers like him. Generally speaking, military personnel are more disciplined and rarely wander around, except for a few people; Here, Lin met a lot of acquaintances, there was no shortage of several main leaders of the division headquarters, and there were also some staff members of the technical department, and some senior engineers were talking in the crowd. He didn't know what these people were talking about, and according to the rules of the army, he couldn't get close, although he was also popular in the division headquarters. But he really wants to know what these people are doing, don't you use his own group of pilots as some kind of experiment, to test whether everyone sells their lives and how much they sell their lives, this is not good! On the other hand, he is more interested in the military command system, because although his father is "lazy to death", his mother is an electronic expert, and he has heard that many command and control systems are still developed from the company, which seems to him to have a very cordial taste.
