Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 108 Instant Decision

Sending the old Zhang Xiaolong, Pei Chengyi stayed alone for half a hour and recited the call of Guixue Huzhou Nong Chenhao. 【Reading.com】

Wang Xueping was ordered to follow the plan, and in the early morning of July 6, that is, after launching the attack a few hours later, Pei Chengyi arranged relevant combat tasks for Yuan Chenhao. That is, when Wang Xueping's troops marched into Iskenderun, the troops on the northern front were to attack in the direction of Syrt.

After completing the deployment, Pei Chengyi called Dongfang Wen over and asked him to take charge of the logistics support work in person.

After the arrangements were made, Pei Chengyi answered Li Cunxun's phone.

According to his estimates, Zhang Xiaolong must have contacted Li Cunxun to report the situation. When Li Cunxun's bust appeared above the coffee table, Pei Chengyi knew that his guess was not wrong, Li Cunxun had received the news and knew that he was fighting the idea of the US aircraft carrier battle group.

"Zhang Xiaolong has already talked to me." It's different from what it used to be. Li Cunxun went straight to the point and did not delay a little time. "Before I get into the specifics, I want to be clear about one thing, and that is. Do you think that by attacking the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, you can achieve the goal of ending the war quickly? ”

"It's a possibility, but it's not certain."

Li Cunxun seemed to expect Pei Chengyi to say this, so he didn't speak, waiting for Pei Chengyi to continue.

Pei Chengyi also knew that Li Cunxun would mention this catty. Question, since Li Cunxun is so refreshing, he is not wordy. "Either way, it must be admitted that it doesn't do us any good to drag it out. The southern front has already begun. The expansion of the war shows that Dudgway does not want to fight us at all. With his ability, it must be seen that in the end, it will definitely not be the United States that will lose the war. At this time, we made a relatively obvious mistake, that is, we underestimated the projection capability of the US military. According to the information already available, the two ace divisions of the American army will soon arrive on the battlefield, and they will definitely be used in the north. In the next twenty-four hours. The U.S. military will also send an infantry division to Israel by air. To this point. We will lose our advantage on both fronts. Although I have adjusted the offensive plan to the north, I have sent General Wang Xueping's 8th Combat Unit to attack Iskenderun and replace the defense with an attack. Du Qiwei was forced to use the two main divisions for defense, and won the opportunity for General Jiang Wancheng's fifth combat unit to move north. However, according to the current situation, it is very likely that Du Qiwei will continue to use the strategic airlift force of the US military to send more ground troops to the northern front, such as the 2nd Infantry Division, the 1st Congo Assault Division, and the 82nd Strategic Division that are still in the United States. There is no doubt that we can also increase our troops, but this kind of refueling style of play will not only not allow us to regain the advantage, but will also cause greater losses

Li Cunxun smiled slightly and motioned for Pei Chengyi to continue.

"To defeat the enemy, you don't have to be on the ground battlefield." Pei Chengyi knew that he hadn't gotten to the point yet. "The situation of the US military is similar to ours, and they all need strong fire support. Du Qiwei refused to admit defeat because the US military still had strong enough fire support. As the U.S. Air Force accelerates its mobilization and deployment, the battle for air supremacy will become more and more intense. If nothing else, Dooch Sheng will put the U.S. Air Force in charge of air supremacy and the U.S. Navy in charge of ground support. Because the US Army lacks the ability to fight independently. Therefore, as long as the support forces of the US military are defeated, the opponent can be defeated. Although we are able to strike at the combat units of the US Air Force deployed in Turkey and Israel, and Turkey and Israel lack depth and are not very difficult to strike, the main fighters of the US Air Force are deployed in Italy, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Malta, Croatia, and other European countries, and we have no reason or suitable means to strike at these countries. In the event that it is not possible to disable the US Air Force, we can only strike at the US Navy. In any case, because Greece has withdrawn from NATO, the United States cannot use Greek air bases, so the US Air Force cannot deploy too many fighters to the front line. Under the circumstance that air supremacy must be guaranteed, it is very difficult for the US Air Force to undertake the task of ground support, so it can only hand over this heavy task to the US Navy. As long as we can defeat a fleet of the U.S. Navy, we can deprive the U.S. forces in a certain direction of primary fire support, thus forcing Dudgway to declare a truce before the situation deteriorates further. ”

After speaking, Pei Chengyi did not rush to continue. The new address of this site has been changed to: a few goo, please log in to read!

Having said all this, his meaning has been made very clear. Do you want to take such drastic measures. It depends on whether Li Cunhua adopts his suggestion.

"The key question is whether striking the US Navy fleet will cause the war to get out of control.

"I talked to Zhang Xiaolong about it, but the time was limited, so I didn't talk too deeply." Pei Chengyi expressed his thoughts very tactfully. That is, there is no need to talk to Zhang Xiaolong in too much detail. "It is undeniable that we and the United States are belligerents, although we have not declared war on each other with the United States. There was no declaration of war on the other side's allies, but both we and the United States were involved in this war with real actions. And became the main force in this war. Before the war began, we and the United States made clear through military deployments that we would not engage in a head-on confrontation outside the confines of the battlefield. It is clear that by now both of us have done very well and have not expanded the scope of the war. ”

Li Cunxun smiled, knowing that Pei Chengyi hadn't gotten to the point yet.

"It is also undeniable that the United States is already at war with Syria. With the first batch of American GIs following the Israeli army into Syria, the United States has already essentially invaded Syria's international rules of silt, and Syria has the right to speak against Pei Chengyi when it is invaded, and he paused for a moment and said, "In other words, we do not lack reasons to strike the US Navy fleet." Although it is impossible for us to fight back as an ally of Syria instead of Syria, because this would cause the United States to fight back as an ally of Turkey instead of Turkey, and the war would spiral out of control. But we can take advantage of that. In any case, the weapons and equipment that the Syrian Air Force has, we also have. ”

Li Cunxun frowned slightly and said, "You mean, a sneak attack on the American fleet?" ”

"For a fleet with a well-developed defense system, except for sneak attacks. I'm afraid there is no better means of combat. ”

Li Cunxun hesitated a little and motioned for Pei Chengyi to continue.

"There is a reason. Corresponding means are also needed. "This catty. At that time, Pei Chengyi said that it was the key. "Before that. I'm always looking for the right means. As I mentioned to Zhang Xiaolong, the United States' military reconnaissance capability, especially its strategic reconnaissance capability, is no worse than ours, and it will certainly monitor all military bases within the theater around the clock, and will also constantly monitor the air bases in China's northwest region. As well as all strategic strike forces. Whatever our reasons, it is impossible to pin the hopes of taking out the American fleet on the Syrian Air Force. In other words, we have to speak out in person. If our aviation is used, then it is necessary to think about how to deceive the US strategic reconnaissance system. ”

"It's not a small thing."

"I've looked up the relevant information and know that simple camouflage is not effective."

Li Cunxun nodded. "Camouflage solves some of the problems, but it doesn't solve all of them," he said. After a surprise attack on the fleet, the American side will definitely recheck all the intelligence received earlier, including satellite reconnaissance photos. In other words, the United States will definitely be able to find traces of its sister and know that it was not the Syrian Air Force that launched the sneak attack. It's the fighter jets we sent out. ”

"So to speak. This requires a large-scale combat operation as a cover. ”

Li Cunyi frowned slightly, and motioned for Pei Chengyi to continue.

"Anyway. It is impossible for the United States to monitor thousands of fighter jets in the air, and even if it could, it would not be possible to track so many fighters at the same time. ”

"In fact, in addition to AWACS, there are no reconnaissance satellites capable of monitoring fighters rising into the air at the moment. The address of this site has been changed to: Excuse me. 8. Please read the law!

Pei Chengyi smiled. Shen said: "In this way, if we can get all the combat planes into the air to fight, we can draw one or two hundred fighters from them to sneak attack the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group." If all the fighters are to be lifted into the air, it will definitely have to be a battle on a huge scale. In fact, such a campaign is coming. American-Israeli forces are storming our lines to the south. General Wang Xueping's ground forces will be out in a few hours, and the northern front battlefield commanded by Yuan Chenhao will launch a general attack. That is, it will not be long before all our combat units will be put into battle. Dudgway certainly won't sit still. Actions must be taken accordingly. As expected, within forty-eight hours, the first peak of this war would come. If this opportunity can be taken advantage of, the war can be brought to an early end. ”

Wait for Pei Chengyi to finish. Li Cunxun held his chin and thought for a while.

I have to admit it. It is too attractive to end the war early.

Although the ground war has only been going on for a week, the enormous pressure brought by the war is already being felt. As a front-line commander, Pei Chengyi doesn't need to think about the cost, but as the person in charge, Li Cunxun has to think about this problem. After talking to Pei Chengyi on the phone, Li Cunxun met Yan Shanglong on the Internet and listened to the premier's complaints. As in the past, the premier of the State Council did not say anything else, but hoped that the front-line commanders would be able to "show mercy" when deploying combat operations and not take the weapons and ammunition bought with money seriously.

Just a week down. The war of the republic cost more than 100 million yuan!

According to the report submitted by Yan Shanglong, to be precise, it is a statistical report submitted by Defense Minister Shuai Yongkang. During the 7 days of the ground war, the Republic Air Force lost fighters more than it had already served in the Air Force for several years, and also participated in the Indian War. The body has long been damaged, and if it is sold to the allies in the form of second-hand goods, it will be worth at most yuan, not the yuan counted by the Ministry of Defense. Even if the improvement is to say, small. From this it follows that the total value of the losses of the fighters of the Air Force is not! The mouth is fierce, but about 400 million yuan. Among the other 400 million expenses, in addition to the equipment loss conversion method to be discussed, about 400 million yuan of ammunition consumption is an out-and-out consumption.

According to Li Cunxun's estimates, the total cost of 7 days of fighting is between 400 million and 400 million armor.

That is, on average, every day

This cost. Almost twice as powerful as the war in India!

From the previous statistics, it can also be seen that the reason why it will not cost a huge amount of money is that the loss is huge, but according to the intelligence of the military silicon, the war expenses of the United States will not be much smaller than that of the Republic. During the bombing campaign on the night of the day of the month, the total value of nearly 1,000 high-pitched cruise missiles dropped by the US strategic air force was about 100 million US dollars, or about 1 billion yuan. In the past seven days, the United States has invested between US$100 million and 100 million U.S. dollars for the Murderer, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan for the Meritorious Pound. Even if there is some water in it, the total cost of the United States will not be less than 100 million yuan of Tian Gong. But the United States could not stand such a costly battle, and neither could the republic.

Li Cunxun is not a journalist, but he is sure that as the Republic and the United States authorities announce the cost of the war on July, the day when the ground battle has begun, the news media around the world will break out in a cold sweat, and no one will think that this war will last for years, or even for months.

The reason is very simple, the huge war expenditure will inevitably lead the two major powers to a dead end.

The best way to solve the war expenses is to put the country into a state of war and produce equipment and ammunition in a controlled manner, so as to minimize the cost of purchasing equipment and ammunition. In any case, arms are in addition to drugs. Products with the highest profit margins. In the case of small thugs, under normal circumstances, the Air Force of the Republic has to ensure the profit margin of the manufacturer, in addition to paying a large number of expenses that will not be used for a while, such as opening costs, logistics support costs, maintenance costs, and spare parts procurement costs, or expenses that are not related to production. If in wartime, the Air Force only needs to pay for basic manufacturing, and the basic manufacturing cost of the small concave is only one-tenth of its total procurement cost! That is, under the wartime mechanism. According to the statistics of the Ministry of National Defense, the cost of the Red 4B fighter is actually only 400 million. Because ammunition is cheaper to purchase in wartime, the daily cost of war can be reduced to less.

With the strength of the republic, when the normal annual military expenditure exceeds 100 million yuan, it is impossible to fight a war with a daily investment of 100 million yuan, even if it cannot last for a few years. It can also last for months.

Similarly, the situation in the United States is similar.

To put it another way, if the war drags on for several months. The republics and the American authorities had to declare a state of war. As soon as it enters a state of war, the war will get out of control, and eventually it may turn into a war between two major powers, thus leading to a world war.

After receiving Zhang Xiaolong's call, Li Cunxun contacted Pei Chengyi.

For the same reason, Li Cunxun is also trying to avoid the escalation of the war, and Pei Chengyi mentioned to Zhang Xiaolong the attack on the US Navy fleet, mentioning the possibility of ending the war quickly. For Li Cunxun, who needs to consider the overall situation, if he can really make the war end quickly, even if he needs to take a certain risk, he will not hesitate.

After his thoughts turned around in his mind, Li Cunxun let out a long breath and said, "If we fight according to your ideas, what are our chances of winning?" ”

"It's hard to say now, after all, Zhang Xiaolong brought a "sea base." I came up with this idea. ”

Li Cunxun frowned slightly and said, "As you said, it is indeed not good for us for the war to drag on. Until then, Yuan had been cautious, not afraid of going to war with the United States, but that huge war losses were likely to make this war meaningless. In fact, a few years ago, Wang Lao also mentioned this possibility, saying that the Middle East is not India, and we cannot solve the Middle East problem by dealing with India. In any case, ending the war as soon as possible will allow us to reap the benefits and realize our national interests. ”

"I'll take advantage of the combat operation right away."

Li Cunxun nodded slightly, and said, "I asked Zhang Xiaolong to go over to assist you immediately, Liu Xiaobin has already come out, and he is expected to rush to your side in a few hours." Again, you can mobilize all the resources in the war zone. Call me if you need help with anything else.

"What about Yuan?"

"I'll figure it out." Li Cunxun knew what Pei Chengyi meant, "You are only responsible for formulating the battle plan, contact me as soon as you get it done, and I will arrange a catty." Appropriate time for you to report to Meta on related work. In any case, this kind of action must be authorized by Meta. We do not have the right to act on our own

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "I will strive to come up with a detailed battle plan within forty-eight hours." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, pay attention to the details."

The two exchanged a few more words before ending the call. The address of this site has been changed to: Eliminate the heart, delete please log in to read!

Although Li Cunxun's support was within Pei Chengyi's expectations, what surprised him was that Li Cunxun would be so active in letting him start formulating a battle plan. From the few words mentioned by Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi has already felt that this war has had a great impact on the republic, and if it drags on, it is very likely to cause greater trouble. Although Pei Chengyi did not believe that the citizens of the republic would become unwavering anti-fighters like the Americans in the era of the Blade Century, he knew for a long time that not all citizens of the republic should think that they should take the place of the Kurds, or the hundreds of millions of Arabs, to deal with two countries that have no contradictions and hatred with the Republic

This is indeed a war without much nutrition!
