Chapter 166: The Decisive Battle
At this point, Yang Feng's carrier-based aircraft program was finally officially launched, and the design of the battleship was also determined, and Messerschmitt assured him that as long as the main rotor was solved, his helicopter could be officially lifted into the air in two years at most.
Since this is the case, then on the Qi Jiguang-class destroyer that he just named, it is better to simply add a hangar.
Two twin 130 mm main guns in the bow of the ship, the second main gun was dismantled and installed with anti-aircraft missiles, one AK630 close-in defense gun on the left and right, two twin Styx anti-ship missile launch boxes in the middle, an elongated helicopter hangar in the rear, two close defense guns in the upper part of the front section, and anti-aircraft missiles were dismantled and installed later. At the rear is the helicopter take-off and landing deck, with towed sonar in the tail, and the anti-submarine is handled by two triple MK44 torpedo tubes in the bow and a twelve-mounted rocket deep bomb launcher.
Anyway, these are easy to dismantle, as long as the Mi people put the brass knight on the ship, he immediately installed the MK13 single cantilever launcher and the standard 1, and directly superscripted the 1MR-Block-VI, 46 km range, semi-active radar guidance, the core of the maritime air defense force of the Mi people around the eighties. Of course, the main thing is that it is easy to find, and the Chenggong-class frigates and the Wa Guohai have this thing on many old destroyers, and the ones that are numbered before are not so easy to find, and sometimes it is not easy to find some backward weapons that can be used.
There is a single cantilever launcher in the front and rear, as for the amount of ammunition to spare, this will be decided depending on the size of the place at that time, and it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to install forty launchers under the standard configuration, after all, he is only a small boat with a full row of 6,000 tons. Eighty medium-range anti-aircraft missiles are also too outrageous. What's more, it's useless to have too much of this stuff. The Aegis system does not have the addition of phased array radar and mainframe computers. It doesn't make sense to install 800 anti-aircraft missiles, because he estimates that at most, it will be equipped with four irradiation radars to form four fire channels.
But in the sixties and seventies, it could already be said that it was a powerful regional air defense ship, and even reached the level of air defense of the destroyer Canton.
As for the problem that was remembered by the people of the United States at that time, this is very simple, if you don't sell it, no one will sell it, I will use it for my own family. The people of the United States are pressuring, do you believe it or not, I am going to find the Soviets or Comrade Li as friends?
At that time, Yang Yuan was already confident enough to say that he couldn't say anything to the people of the United States.
The Navy's weapons development plan is basically determined at this point, and the submarine will be put aside for the time being, after all, his HY80 steel still needs a little time, even if Vera gives him the ability to analyze all the components and proportions on the Voyager, but the production process also needs some time to observe and learn from those rice steel plants.
Next up should be the Air Force.
The Tiger Shark is a light fighter, although it can also be used by the Air Force, but the Air Force still needs a heavy fighter after all, and this can only be found in another way. After all, he has so many technical talents now, and it is impossible for him to start so many projects at once. If you really can't do it, you can buy it from outside, such as ghosts or something.
In fact, the Ghost is a good aircraft, but it is not used in the right way, especially in the Vietnam War, it was defeated by the J-5 and J-6, largely because of the funny all-missile configuration in the early days, coupled with the poor performance of the missile, and the seeker attack sector is too small, if it is replaced with AIM9L, if the J-5 and J-6 dare to provoke again, it will be pure death.
Fortunately, his needs in this regard are not very urgent, at least in the next ten years, he will not run too far, the heavy fighter project can be officially launched after the completion of the Tiger Shark, at that time it will not be just a heavy fighter, bombers, fighter-bombers, ground attack aircraft, armed helicopters are all to be carried out, now lay a good foundation and then talk about it.
But the Army's weapons need to be dealt with.
What kind of tank is the best one?
Yang Führer is entangled again, he has not yet researched a tank that suits him best.
"Führer, the Tianzhu Air Force retaliated by bombing Lahore."
Yang Feng was facing the sky with a wise look, and Hu Hao hurriedly brought him a bombshell news.
"Uh, it's broad daylight!"
Yang Feng looked up at the noon sun in the sky in horror.
Yes, even in broad daylight, Nehru is also crazy this time, he must use practical actions to comfort the souls of New Delhi, but bombing the Eastern Front means that you have to face the jet fighters of the Ming Air Force, and there are hundreds of high-performance fighters such as Mustang and milk bottles, so you can only pick up soft persimmons and pinch to bomb Pakistan, at least Pakistan's air defense is not so good.
He gathered a hundred Il-4s, and as for those Ill-4s, they were not under his control, they were put by the Soviets to deter Yang Feng.
In addition, there are 200 fighters to provide escort, it is said to be bombing, in fact, it is to boost morale, and lead the Pakistan Air Force to fight a decisive battle with him, Jinnah currently has a total of 120 milk bottles in his hands to defend the Western Front, Nehru's intention is to fight him all in a war, first out of this evil breath, and by the way, let the people of Tianzhu see that their army has the ability to avenge them.
The fire in New Delhi frightened many Tianzhu people, and some people in the Tianzhu Congress had already proposed peace talks.
In the skies of Lahore, the Indian and Pakistani pilots who had fought side by side under the same flag had already started a bloody battle of unprecedented scale, those Pakistani pilots flying P47s, and Tianzhu pilots flying Lajiu, while recalling the scene of training together in Britain a few years ago, while shooting at each other with bullets and shells, and those Il-4 bombers roared and pounced on the city below that was like twin brothers with Delhi.
There is a Red Fort in Delhi with its west gate called Lahore Gate, and there is also a Red Fort in Lahore with its east gate called Delhi Gate.
And now, the fire of war and blood have carved a bottomless chasm between these two opposing gates.
At the same time as Tianzhu bombed Lahore, all the fighters and bombers of the coalition forces on the eastern front were dispatched to carry out the same retaliatory bombing of almost all major cities in the eastern part of Tianzhu, and even the Ming fleet headed by the Kaohsiung sailed directly to the west coast of the Bay of Bengal to bombard the port of Tianzhu along the line, causing corpses to be strewn all over the eastern part of Tianzhu and countless cities to burst into flames.
"What did Nehru want to do?"
Yang Feng stood curiously in the combat hall of the General Staff, watching the staff officers on the huge map, constantly marking the battlefields of air battles, while those female soldiers with headphones were guarding the radios to report the results of the battles on the battlefield. This was a truly unprecedented scale of air decisive battle, the two sides invested more than 1,000 combat aircraft, including nearly 800 fighters alone, and the sky on the east and west lines was full of fighter planes chasing and killing each other, and the whole was a chaotic battle purely for the sake of fighting.
But such a battle should not have been provoked by Nehru, because his air power was inferior, and after he transferred a large number of main fighter forces to bomb Lahore, he deployed even less air power on the Eastern Front, and in the face of the huge coalition aircraft group, he could only exhaustively block everywhere, but it could not stop the coalition bombing of the eastern front cities in the slightest.
In other words, he is purely using the heavy losses of the eastern cities in exchange for the bombing of Lahore to breathe a sigh of relief, after all, he is also a qualified politician, and this kind of hot-headed thing is not like what he should be.
Manstein walked silently to the map, pointed to the red marker, and tapped heavily on the glass that pressed against the map, which he had pointed to in Lahore.
"Huh?!"
Yang Feng instantly seemed to understand something, he stood up and said to Chen Hu seriously: "Keep an eye on the battlefield situation, don't bother me if there is no particularly bad news." ”
After finishing speaking, this guy walked away with a serious face, which made Chen Hu inexplicable for a while, and as for Manstein, he stood there with a cup of black tea and smiled deeply.
The air battle in Lahore lasted more than an hour, and in this terrible battle, the Pakistan Air Force lost eighty fighters, while the Tianzhu Air Force lost one hundred and twenty fighters, as well as twenty Il-4 bombers.
Just as the air battle was over, those scarred Pakistan Air Force P47 fighters landed at the airport one after another, and the tired pilots walked to the lounge, the calm of the Pakistan Army's forward positions on the west bank of the Bias River was suddenly shattered by the overwhelming whistling sound across the sky.
Katyusha.
The attack of the Tianzhu people began.
This is the meaning of Manstein's red pen on the spot in Lahore.
This is Nehru's efforts to break the current passivity.
First bombed Lahore to force the Pakistani Air Force to fight a decisive battle with him, and in exchange for the indiscriminate bombardment of the east, in exchange for first killing the main force of the Pakistani Air Force on the Western Front in one fell swoop, and then launching an attack on all fronts of Lahore on the ground.
Because here, he used his killer weapon on the ground.
Standard Soviet-style artillery coverage lasted for a full hour, and then 150,000 Tianzhu troops launched a full-line attack on Kasur and Amritsar, which were under the control of the Pakistani army, while at the same time, the central route was directed by the armored cluster under the command of the Soviet advisers to Lahore.
This steel torrent of two armored brigades collided head-on with the same two armored brigades of the Pakistani army that launched a counterattack fifty kilometers east of Lahore, and then ......
"Stahlin Tank!"
Brigadier General Latif, commander of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Pakistani Army, was lying on the turret of the Sherman tank, looking ahead with a walk-com in his hand, and suddenly let out a desperate scream.
Five hundred meters in front of him, on the endless green empty plain, the same green steel monsters were lining up in a horizontal line, slowly advancing like a steel wall, not too tall on the body, but holding a terrifying giant cannon barrel, just like the exaggerated heavy cavalry spear in the hand of the ancient knight.
Nehru's decisive weapon, the Starling 2 heavy tank, is finally on the battlefield. (To be continued......)
