Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 141 Feint
Ten fighter pilots on the front line. When he turned to Chi Hang, he fought and ridiculed.
For soldiers on other battlefields, the collapse of the US military's "Ore.com" aircraft carrier battle group was only a sign of the beginning of the battle.
According to Pei Chengyi's arrangement, the battle against the "Orenet" aircraft carrier battle group began in the last minute, and the air forces of the Republic and Syria all dispatched to attack the "Maine" and force the US-Israeli-Turkish coalition to dispatch all their air forces to compete for sea supremacy in the eastern Mediterranean.
Because the operation against the USS Orenet aircraft carrier battle group lasted only about 10,000 minutes, the attack on the USS Maine aircraft carrier battle group began after it ended. In this way, the main purpose of this campaign, that is, to attack the US Navy fleet, has changed from a "conspiracy" to a "conspiracy."
This was Li Cunxun's idea, not Bae Chengyi's idea.
According to the combat operations of Pei Chengyi's initial Tsego thugs, the "Maine" should be attacked first, so that the US authorities believe that the main purpose of the Republican ** team is to win on the northern front by seizing air supremacy and striking at the "Ore.com." The aircraft carrier battle group is just one of a series of strikes by the combined forces of Syria, Iraq and Iran, and has little to do with the Republic.
The purpose of this arrangement is obvious, that is, not to directly conflict with the regeneration of beauty.
And that's exactly what happened. When arranging combat forces, in order to use powerful anti-ship missiles. Pei Chengyi not only dispatched strategic bombers and long-range patrol planes, but even arranged four large chargers to assist the long-range patrol aircraft group to complete a long-distance raid of tens of thousands of kilometers, and before that, he asked Syria, Iraq, and Iran to request the Republic to provide a batch of long-range anti-ship missiles by applying for assistance. Although the Republic has not provided these two large anti-ship missiles with advanced performance and can be used to attack strategic targets to the three countries for the time being, due to the impact of the war, as long as the Republican ** team attacks the US fleet with these two missiles during the war, the government of the Republic will definitely approve the export application before the end of the war.
More importantly, in the arrangement of tactical aviation, Pei Chengyi also has ulterior motives.
Because Syria, Iraq, and Iran did not say that the Xiaoqin, which was improved from the miniaturization, was more like a light bomber based on a heavy air superiority fighter.
The Air Force of the Republic has sealed a lot of small old series fighters after the Indian War, and the intensity of sorties of small old series fighters in the Indian War is far less than that of Xiao Lao, so the remaining service life is much longer than that of an old one, with the old series of fighters of small thugs. Although when dealing with mothballed fighter jets, the Republic will take into account the current international situation, especially the situation in which important allies in hot spots are located. Speaking of some fighters in relatively good condition, it is said that there are more than four fighters, and more than half of them have been disposed of as scrap after reaching the storage period.

There is no doubt that this is a very wasteful thing.
Back in the force years ago. That is, when the small and old series of fighters were put into service one after another, the Republic Air Force set up an agency dedicated to dealing with mothballed fighters. Because the export restrictions of heavy fighters are much stricter than those of light fighters, heavy fighters are the main fighters among the mothballed fighters. Before the year of the blade, that is, when the Air Force began to destroy the small and small series of heavy fighters in large quantities, and was preparing to mothball some of the small and old series fighters of the early models, the agency put forward a very bold idea, that is, to convert some heavy fighters in relatively good condition into light bombers, and make full use of the role of heavy fighters as large air platforms.
If it weren't for the war in India, I'm afraid this suggestion would have turned into action much earlier.
After the war in India, the level of strain in the old was more than expected, and the impact of the third military reform slowed down the storage of the old series of fighters, especially some of the later models in good condition. Take this opportunity. The Air Force officially approved the development of light bombers on the basis of the small old series of fighters...... At this time, the Irachi authorities asked the Republic for assistance and promised to pay for the improvement of some of the equipment, so the Republic Air Force took advantage of this opportunity. That is, with the money provided by Iraq to promote the "small! Booth bomber project. "Arguably. It is very unkind for the Republic Air Force to do this, after all, whether it is for practical needs or in the long run, Iraq does not need a stew-class heavy fighter, let alone a stew-class light bomber. Of course, for the Iraqi Air Force, which is in a fast development, it is also a good choice to familiarize themselves with and master modern fighters through small fighters. What's more. This is an option with minimal investment.
Of course, sooner or later, this kind of aid project will go wrong.
Because it is an aid project and the scale is not very large, the Air Force has completed the Zhaojia theory in the form of advance support, and it is not a kind of heavy fighter that is improved on the basis of mothballed fighters and can only perform ground strike missions, not to carry out homeland air defense missions. And so it goes. The fighter was detained by the Air Force of the Republic and maintained by a unit of strategic reconnaissance aircraft deployed in the northwestern region of the Republic. In any case, according to the standard of light bombers, Xiao Hao was assigned to reconnaissance aircraft units and imaginary enemy units.
It was also at this time that the war in the Middle East broke out.
Interestingly, because the little thug hairpin was assigned to the reconnaissance aircraft unit, not many people even thought of these combat planes when the air force was seriously lacking combat strength many days before the war. It wasn't until Pei Chengyi began the combat operation of Zego to strike at the American fleet that Long Hongen learned about it from the Air Force Command. The Air Force had a batch of heavy fighters that had been rebuilt according to the standards of the Iraqi Air Force, and it was only then that these fighters were dispatched.
Because the crackdown requires strict secrecy, it is good to say that if the sticker is shot down in battle, the United States can only point the finger at Iraq. Because Iraq is also an Arab country, it can strike at the US fleet in the name of aiding Syria, and if the US authorities turn to Iraq on this issue, it will be tantamount to making enemies of the entire Arab world. In this way, when the US government handles this matter, it will definitely be a rat and dare not be too direct.
What's more, the Little Fighter has the farthest range of any heavy fighter.
Because it was clearly a light bomber at the time of improvement, the maximum range of a dozen people could only carry tons of ammunition without refueling and carrying auxiliary fuel tanks, and the maximum internal fuel load and maximum take-off weight could only carry tons of ammunition when taking off, and if they carried a protective auxiliary fuel tank in the bomb bay on one side, the bomb load would be reduced to tons, and they would fly at the optimal altitude at the best degree, and the maximum range would even exceed 4,000 meters, and the combat radius would reach a kilometer, which completely met the standard of a light bomber.
Other words. The stunned little thug Hao has been completely renovated when it was improved, and it is in very good condition, so after landing on the offshore platform, there is no need for additional maintenance and overhaul.
Proven in battle. Mingjia said, said, Xiao Gong is a light fighter, not a heavy fighter.
As soon as all the fighters had taken off, the offshore platform was evacuated and eight large fast transport ships headed for the Iraqi port of Basra in accordance with the sentence. Although the fleet arrived at the port of Basra about an hour later than scheduled, its course of several thousand nautical miles was affected by various winds, among other factors. It was not surprising that the fleet arrived an hour late. If we take into account that the fleet has already made several trips between the port of Gwadar and Basra, and has never stopped, then it is too late. Hours to reach the port of Basra is nothing more.
It can be said that this is the most critical part of the whole operation.
Although the operation of offshore platforms in the Persian Gulf is not a secret, as long as American spy satellites pass over the Persian Gulf. There will be this offshore platform composed of 8 large ships, but the US authorities do not know that the Republic Navy already has an offshore platform that can be deployed in real combat, and they do not know that the offshore platform is the new address of this site has been changed to: Sishanwa plus 8 four, please log in to read
The fast strategic projection fleet that leaps on the battlefield is unlikely to be a dense transport fleet. What's more, the offshore platform is assembled at night and serves fighter jets, so only radar imaging and infrared imaging satellites can be used on the offshore platform. Affected by the resolution of the reconnaissance satellites and the characteristics of the ship's radar and infrared radiation, there is no conclusive evidence that the US intelligence agencies can judge the six large transport ships connected together as offshore platforms.
The main significance of the offshore platform is to be able to refuel the attack aircraft group. Although tankers can also perform this task, and the efficiency is much higher than that of offshore platforms, the Republic Air Force has more than four large tankers, which is enough to support hundreds of tactical fighters at the same time, but large tankers are "strategic-level" combat aircraft, and whether they are deployed or used in combat, they will be closely monitored by US intelligence agencies. Not to mention the deployment of multiple tankers to support hundreds of fighters, even the use of a few tankers will expose the whereabouts of the attack aircraft group.
Of course, tankers also have a very important significance in later combat operations.
By postponing the attack on the "Maine" aircraft carrier battle group and turning the conspiracy into a conspiracy, Li Cunxun wanted to take this opportunity to pass on a pound to the US authorities. A very clear signal: the war should end.
To put it another way, the "Ore.com" hiding in the Red Sea. The USS Maine aircraft carrier battle group exposed to the eastern Mediterranean is certainly not much better. In other words, if the American authorities are willing to accept defeat only after they have tasted a crushing defeat in military operations, then it is quite possible that the authorities of the Republic will make the army take more bold action. As a result, even if the U.S. Navy's third carrier battle group were to reach the eastern Mediterranean around July and engage in combat operations, it would be unlikely to change the tide of the war. If the US Navy loses a second aircraft carrier battle group, it will not only be Turkey that will be defeated.
For the American authorities, there is only one option: to negotiate an armistice with Israel and the Republic through Turkey as soon as possible.
It is precisely in this way that Li Cunxun adjusted Pei Chengyi's tactical deployment.
In fact, in the "Ore.com. When the aircraft carrier strike was struck, the U.S. authorities knew that it was not the air power of Syria, Iraq, and Iran that would be attacked. You must know that after World War II, apart from Russia and the Republic, no country's military strength can pose a threat to the US fleet, let alone relocate a fleet with broken aircraft carriers and large escort warships, even if it is very difficult to deal with thug aircraft carriers. There is no doubt that Russia has no reason to come against the United States at this time, and it is not capable of dealing with the American fleet operating in the Red Sea. Only the ability and courage of the Republic to hum, and only the need of the Republic to hum. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishanwa plus 8 four, please log in to read
The problem is that the US authorities do not come up with any evidence that would point to the republic.
In order to protect the "Maine" aircraft carrier battle group, the US Navy and Air Force had no way to intercept the attack group composed of Xiaobi and Xiaothug Yang, who were returning home. Instead of flying to Sudan, the aircraft carrier strike group headed north, along the Suez Canal into the Middle Sea to the east, and finally returned to the skies west of Lebanon with the other fighters who had completed the attack on the USS Maine, and after reaching the skies over Syria, they carried out an in-flight refueling. Xiaobi flew all of them to Iraq and was officially delivered to the Iraqi Air Force in accordance with the secret agreement reached between the Air Force and the Iraqi authorities. The group flew directly to Iran, and in accordance with the commitment made by the authorities of the republic, all these fighters were supplied to the Iranian Air Force free of charge. In other words, even if the US intelligence agencies knew that these two groups of fighters had attacked the USS Orenet aircraft carrier battle group at the last moment, they could only point the finger at Iran, and at most they believed that it was the two Iraqs who helped Syria attack the US fleet.
Of course, the attack on the USS Maine aircraft carrier battle group is simply a non-existent matter. Judging by the actions of the attack on the USS Orenet aircraft carrier battle group, it was not the tactical aviation that carried out the fourth round of strikes that really played a key role, but the first three rounds of strikes, especially the third round of missile strikes. That is, the real heroes are the strategic aviation of the Air Force of the Republic and the long-range patrol aircraft units of the Navy. Although Pei Chengyi is not an air force general, he has a lot of air force staff officers around him. As a rising star among the young officers of the Air Force, it is impossible for Long Hongen not to know that the position of tactical aviation is being weakened in modern naval warfare, which is becoming more and more intense. Unless the new tactics are verified, tactical aviation will soon be withdrawn from the arena of naval warfare.
Because it is impossible for the air force and navy to dispatch again, and it is impossible for the authorities of the republic to let Pei Chengyi blatantly take out the US fleet, no one has any hope for the combat operation of attacking the "Maine" aircraft carrier battle group, and this is originally a cover for the strategic feint of the northern front.
For Pei Chengyi, how to maximize the value of the attack on the "Ore.com" aircraft carrier battle group, make good use of the precious time before the end of the war, and strive for the greatest victory, is the key issue he must consider, and he must consider carefully!
