Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 102 The Second Front

Early in the morning of the month. The guns fired at the military demarcation line in the eastern part of the Golan Heights have made it possible for an intelligence agency, driven by national interests, to become the most decisive and swift unit in the world, driven by national interests.

Because they thought that the traces of the plot were too obvious, neither side wanted to delve into who actually fired the first shot.

Of course, the public news media still has to dwell on this issue.

Until a few years later, there were still quite a few Western news outlets that believed that it was Syria that fired the first shot. In the eyes of some Western scholars, the Syrian authorities have at least some reason to provoke war. First, the Syrian authorities have been working to regain control of the Hulan Heights. The second is that Damascus is too close to the front line and does not have any security guarantees. Third, Syria suffered a defeat three years ago and is eager for revenge. Fourth, Syria's national defense construction over the past few years has achieved initial results, and the armed forces have regained confidence. Finally, if Syria wants to become the new core of the Arab world, it needs to make a difference in military operations. According to the Western news media, there is no reason, any of which can make Syria take the initiative to provoke a war.

As the news outlet of the Arab nation, Al Jazeera is the polar opposite of its Western counterparts and has always insisted that it is Israel, not Syria, that is the one who instigates the war. Al Jazeera didn't do much analysis, only mentioning one point. That is, before the conflict broke out, the Israeli army on the Golan Heights had already entered an offensive position, and the two US Marine Divisions that had just arrived in Israel had also arrived on the Golan Heights.

Because the people directly involved have not come forward to clarify the situation, and the institutions with the ability to find out the truth have not taken action, no one can say who exactly brought Israel into the largest war in the Middle East in the first half of the century, no matter how detailed the news media are.

In fact, it doesn't matter who fired the first shot.

Israel must enter the war, and if it does not act, it will have to sit and wait for death. Syria also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to do something, at least to wash away the shame of three years ago, and naturally hopes that Israel will be more active.

In any case, this is a "long-awaited" war for both sides.

When it comes to practical problems, it's not so easy.

Compared with the Syrian-Israeli war in Libinian, because it lost its suddenness, after the conflict broke out, it was the long-range artillery of the Israeli Army, and then the Israeli Air Force. The question is. The Syrian army is not the same army that it was in Libi years anymore. The Syrian army was ready to fight before Israel attacked. So when the Israeli Army's long-range artillery shelled the Syrian air defense positions in the area south of Damascus, the Syrian air defense units had withdrawn, and the Syrian Army's long-range artillery immediately counterattacked.

No one thought that this high-tech war would be fought by long-range artillery first.

Of course, the long-range artillery of both sides was humble for a thousand balls.

Because Israel is a "nuclear state." "Moreover, it has good scientific and technological strength, and it is the most important ally of the United States, so except for strategic strike weapons, Israel can obtain almost all the weapons and equipment of the United States. Exactly. Israel became the first country in the Middle East to be equipped with an electromagnetic gun system. Strictly speaking. Because the slapstick system includes a mobile power supply system, by the time the war broke out, Israel was the only country in the Middle East to be equipped with an slapstick system. Like the republican army's electromagnetic cannon system, the Israeli army's electromagnetic cannon system can be deployed on a mobile basis. Because the land area is small. There is little strategic depth. The construction of large warships equipped with large-caliber electromagnetic guns exceeded Israel's capacity, so the Israeli military was like a "Merkava" main battle tank that could carry infantry, and ingeniously made a "fire support ship" to put the electromagnetic cannon system on large container ships, and then deployed these cargo ships in the offshore sea, thus solving the problem of not having enough artillery positions.

Compared to Israel, Syria's long-range artillery is not so complete. The new address of this site has been changed to: Regret Heart. 8, so please read the law!

Despite Syria's extraordinary relationship with the Republic, the Treaty of London prevented the Republic from selling mobile power supply systems to non-nuclear countries and providing complete electromagnetic gun systems to allies other than Pakistan. In response to this problem, manufacturers of electromagnetic guns have proposed solutions by setting up fixed artillery positions and drawing electricity from the high-capacity civilian backbone grid, or simply creating a separate power supply system. Because mobile power supply systems are inherently expensive, this approach to infrastructure construction will not significantly increase procurement costs. In the long run, equipment can reduce equipment costs after reducing maintenance costs.

Of course, in order to increase the survival rate of artillery, each electromagnetic gun had several, if not dozens, reserve positions, in addition to one main position. Because the electromagnetic guns, which were supposed to be deployed centrally, were dispersed, the survivability of the entire system was not low.

This thrilling artillery battle. It announced the full arrival of the era of electromagnetic guns.

In fact, it was also the first battle between the electromagnetic guns. In the past battles, the electromagnetic cannon used its amazing range and strong power to suppress the traditional artillery and rocket artillery, and it has been a well-deserved king of war. No one can say exactly how powerful the electromagnetic cannon is

Many people don't know that this is the first time that the electromagnetic cannon has fought against the sea.

When the Israeli army shelled the air defense positions of the Syrian Air Force, the Syrian Army's long-range artillery had only one task, that is, to suppress the Israeli army's artillery according to the data provided by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and the strategic reconnaissance plane.

Because this artillery battle had a great impact on both the Republic and the United States, the news announced was very

According to the battle report published by the Israeli side, in the case of destroying many anti-aircraft positions in the blade, only one "sharp support ship" was hit by the counterattack artillery fire of the other side, and the damage was not very serious. According to the war report released by the Syrian authorities, at least in the artillery battle, the "fire support ship" was hit and one of the thugs was sunk.

In fact, there were indeed large Wolf ships that were hit at that time, and one of them was indeed sunk.

However, it was not an Israeli "fire support ship" that was sunk, but a fast container ship belonging to the US Navy that was heading to the port of Tel Aviv. What's more, the freighter was carrying exactly the ammunition needed by the Israeli authorities. So after being hit by a shell, and there was a violent explosion. The explosion occurred on what the Syrian authorities and the Republican intelligence services believed to be an Israeli "fire support ship".

Of course, the biggest point of this artillery battle is not how many ships are killed.

According to Pei Chengyi's recollections, it was not the army that was most interested in this battle at that time, but the navy. After the battle, Lin Xiaolei found Hu Jing'an, asked for all the information related to the artillery battle, and asked Hu Jing'an to submit a detailed report on the process of the battle. Although Hu Jingan was a staff officer of the Joint Command and did not obey the command of the General Staff, he was a naval officer. So you have to obey the orders of the admiral.

That is, after this artillery battle. The Navy of the Republic has intensified its research efforts in related fields.

Similarly, the United States is not lagging behind.

As we all know, after the advent of the forced electric bowl jamming system, the face of naval warfare has changed greatly. In particular, after surface ships strengthened their protection against electric collisions and adopted a large number of electromagnetic shielding systems, the forced electromagnetic interference system has become the nemesis of almost all guided anti-ship weapons. The solution to the forced electromagnetic interference system is not impossible, but the cost is too great. For example, if a closed-circuit guidance system is used, not only the hit rate of the ammunition is low, but also the ammunition needs to have a high penetration degree, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost of the ammunition. The amount of ammunition spent per attack has increased several times, thus increasing the total cost of sea attacks by several times.

To paraphrase some admiral jokes. If it is not possible to find a cheap way to strike at the sea as soon as possible, I am afraid that in the future it will be possible to use free-fall bombs only with fighters with mechanical transmission control systems, under the visual sight of the pilot. Dive bombing of surface ships.

To put it bluntly, it's jets. Fight against the tactics of World War II and fight a naval battle that will lead to the century.

In addition to some very imaginative but difficult to realize "concept weapons", the most attractive of the so-called "cheap weapons" is the electromagnetic gun.

Compared with other sea-dominating weapons, the electromagnetic cannon has a range, a shot, and a good delivery ability. What's more, electromagnetic guns mainly use unguided munitions, or closed-circuit guided munitions such as inertial guidance, which are almost unaffected by forced electromagnetic interference systems. Of course, the reason for this situation is also very simple, that is, the electric bumper gun generally uses a high-throw trajectory, and the shell needs to pass through the ionosphere twice before landing, so it needs to have a strong anti-jamming ability. Because the shells have to re-enter the atmosphere, they will generate very high temperatures during the fall phase, and the temperature of the stationing point at the tip of the shell is even above 10,000 degrees Celsius, so it is difficult for the electromagnetic gun to use complex guided projectiles. In fact, the guided electromagnetic guns opened by the Republic and the United States all adopt very special structures, and most of the reduction systems used at the end of the trajectory are reduced by the reverse rocket motive curtain, which makes the structure of the shells complicated, the cost remains high, and the utilization rate will not be high.

Of course, the biggest advantage of the electromagnetic cannon is that the end of the shell is very fast.

The problem is also in this place, because the ballistics are high and the degree is fast, and it is difficult for the shells of the electromagnetic cannon to hit moving targets. To be precise, it is a high-moving target on the sea surface. At a time when the greatest extent of the warships was approaching Feng Jie and even Qin Jie. Even if the electromagnetic cannon does not fly for a shell at full range, it will not be a minute, but in such a short period of time, even a large aircraft carrier with a length of about 3 meters can run about a relay meter, which is a distance equivalent to the length of the old hull. Taking into account factors such as the steering of the battleship, in order to hit the hitter shell, it is necessary to make the shell fall at the same time. Obviously, this is a very unrealistic thing.

It is precisely for this reason that both the Republic and the U.S. Navy are trying to improve the effectiveness of the electromagnetic cannon

Suffering from the lack of first-hand data, most of the research in this area between the Republic and the US Navy remains at the theoretical stage, and at most they conduct some tests. There is still a long way to go before it is truly practical.

Of course, the theoretical side of the study is very mature.

As early as the beginning of the Blade Era, a young officer of the Republic Navy who had obtained a doctorate in ballistics proposed a very promising plan, that is, to correct the middle trajectory, extend the flight range outside the atmosphere, and allow the shells to reach the sky above the Japanese standard and then carry out a dive attack. The advantage of this is obvious, that is, it greatly shortens the flight time of the terminal trajectory, so that the target has no time to evade, thereby narrowing the range that needs to cover the strike and improving the strike efficiency. The problem is that it's easier said than done. In order to extend the mid-trajectory, it is necessary to use the orbital rocket motive, that is, when the projectile reaches the apex of the trajectory, it obtains a degree of flight along an enterable trajectory. This motive is not so small that it cannot use liquid fuel, and can only use solid fuel, and it bears tens of thousands of overloads when it is fired, and the liquid fuel is easy to leak at this time, limiting the propulsion efficiency of the motive. In order to perform a dive attack close to a right angle in the final stage, it is necessary to use attitude control rocket motive. In this way, a strong kilogram of artillery shell may only have the effective combat mass of the kilogram of the Hungarian kilogram, and with such a mass, its power is very limited. Although theoretically calculated, if the degree of impact of the shell is around the Remach. Even without explosives, a kilogram of shells has a huge kinetic energy of about four millicoules. It can easily smash any warship in the world. But the power of the shells will increase, and the protection of the battleship will also increase, and by the time such an electric cannon is put into service, the fear of kilograms of shells will no longer solve the problem.

Of course, these theoretical studies. What is most needed is the first-hand data provided by the actual combat.

It is a great pity that after the war in India, the Navy of the Republic did not have the opportunity to perform. In fact, even the Army of the Republic did not meet a real opponent. The address of this site has been changed to: Eliminate the heart, delete please log in to read!

The abandonment of Israeli "fire support ships" by Syrian long-range artillery is undoubtedly "a handful of numbers."

Such data is needed on the part of the republics, and the American side is no exception.

Judging from later exhibitions, this artillery battle proved at least one point, that is, electromagnetic guns can pose a threat to large ships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, and the power of electromagnetic cannon shells is not necessarily worse than that of anti-ship missiles.

This conclusion is enough for the Republic and the US Navy to invest more money in electromagnetic guns.

Not to mention anything else, at the end of the year, the Navy of the Republic of China received a special grant of tens of billions of yuan to promote the research of spiral electromagnetic guns. And the reason for the Republic Navy to receive this appropriation is simple: the US Navy received a large share of the defense budget of the secret thug fiscal year, which began in the second half of that year, and invested hundreds of billions of dollars in the project to open the spiral electromagnetic cannon.

At the same time, the two sides strengthened the firing of the spiral electromagnetic cannon because they wanted to improve the caliber of the electromagnetic gun, to be precise, the delivery capacity. Only work on the spiral electromagnetic gun. Rail-mounted electromagnetic guns are limited by the basic principle of operation, and if they continue to improve the quality of their shells, the cost will be unimaginable.

Fueled by the arms race. Both sides have raised their opening points.

According to a document published by the Navy of the Republic at the beginning of Zhao, the caliber of the first spiral electromagnetic cannon will be pounded from the originally planned beater.

Of course, it is not only the quality of the shells that needs to be improved, but also the firing range.

The ultimate range of the orbital electromagnetic cannon is around the kilometer, while the spiral electromagnetic cannon is likely to have no ultimate range. That is, the spiral electromagnetic cannon theoretically has the ability to send shells directly into low-earth orbit.

In fact, this is also what makes the spiral electromagnetic cannon the most attractive to the navy.

You know, if you can directly send the shell into low earth orbit, you don't need to install an orbital rocket motor on the shell, you only need to install a small attitude control rocket engine. Theoretically, in this case. The payload of the shells is above. That is, a shell with a mass of Feng o kilograms, when it falls on the target, will have a mass of more than a small kilogram. If this were the case, even if it was not a shell loaded with explosives, but an iron rod, it would have smashed and sunk a 10,000-ton cruiser. More importantly, in the case of a small kilogram payload, the strike efficiency can be improved by adopting the technology of "submunitions". To put it figuratively, it's like dealing with the enemy in front of you. Shotguns are more suitable than sniper rifles.

Of course, that's all later.

As Israel entered the war, Pei Chengyi also got busy.

Before the artillery battle between the two sides ended, Pei Chengyi gave Luo Shaopeng an order to immediately lead his troops south and obey the command of the Southern Front Command. Subsequently, Pei Chengyi contacted Su Jinhui and asked him to fully consider the possibility of continuous combat when using the second combat unit, and not to use all his strength at once.

By this time, the first units of the 8th Battle Individual had already reached Aleppo.

On the Turkish battlefield, the 1st and 10th combat units had already surrounded the American European Corps. Because Israel suddenly entered the war, Yuan Chenhao did not rush to do it, but took the initiative to contact Pei Chengyi, saying that in order to cooperate with Su Jinhui, he could adjust the offensive planner.

Yuan Chenhao's positive attitude made Pei Chengyi breathe a sigh of relief.

At his request, do nothing other than strike at the Eurocorps with long-range artillery fire

Move.

By this time, the war in the Middle East had entered a very critical turning point. What will determine the final outcome is not whether the 9th Combat Unit can hold back the sharp edge of the US-Israeli coalition forces, nor whether the European Corps can withstand the pressure of the Republican Army. It is the first battle to see if the individual can rush into the territory of Turkey before the US army makes adjustments, and use a powerful attack to tell the opponent that Ankara is within its strike range!
