Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 75 The Outbreak of War
The Air Defense Command Center of the Southeast National Sergeant of the Air Force of the Ten Ear is in agreement with the theater. [] Seeing that the news of the bombing reached Dudgway.
As in previous wars. The first thing that arrives is just the message, not the details.
Whether Dudgway wants it or not. He had to be patient, and he could only be patient.
Although the Turkish military made it clear in the initial news that only these two targets were bombed and that no serious collateral damage was caused, the report did not mention the timing of the bombing or the damage to the two strategic facilities. The former was the negligence of the liaison officer of the Turkish army and forgot to add it. In the latter case, the Turkish army itself did not know the extent of the damage caused by the bombing.
Only one thing is certain, and that is that the air defense command system in the southeastern direction of the Turkish mainland has been paralyzed.
Although the paralysis of the air defense command system does not mean that the air defense system is paralyzed, most of the theater air defense systems equipped by the Turkish Air Force and all the tactical air defense systems equipped by the Turkish Army have independent combat capabilities, and the Turkish army has been prepared, and the units have long received combat readiness orders, and they will definitely attack the incoming air targets, but under the influence of factors such as the lack of unified command and the lack of battlefield information, the Turkish army's air defense system has almost become an ornament.
Duchway knows it all too well. The war has begun, and it has begun in the way that the Republican ** team does best.
After destroying the Turkish army's communications command center, the Republic Air Force will first use tactical aviation to comprehensively suppress the Turkish army's air defense positions at a certain location, especially on a certain weak link. Because the Turkish army's air defense system in Shernak province, that is, facing Iraq, is the weakest, the Republic Air Force only needs to suppress the Turkish air defense positions near Juyang to open a breakthrough and allow a large group of aircraft to drive straight in.
To be precise, it is to let a large number of out-of-zone ammunition drive straight in. In addition to focusing on strategic military facilities such as command, communications, air defense positions, and air bases, the air force of the Republic will also strike at Turkish barracks, roads, bridges, and other facilities in southeastern Turkey. According to Dudgway's estimates, a massive bombardment would come around the reef. The address of this site has been changed to: Eliminate the heart, delete please log in to read!
Although it was too late to save Turkey, Duchway did not forget to do his duty.
After receiving the news, the first thing Duchway did was to contact the Turkish Air Force Command and ask the Turkish Air Force to immediately issue an emergency take-off order. The Air Force of the Republic will certainly make heavy use of standoff munitions in round bombing. Bombers and fighters on strike missions will not be allowed to enter the strike range of the Turkish air defense system. So the fighters of the Turkish Air Force urgently rose into the air, not to intercept enemy aircraft, but to avoid being blown up on the ground.
It seems that there is no belief that the Turkish Air Force will be able to react quickly. Du Qiwei also asked the staff officer to contact the dispatch to a few catties. Liaison officers at the main air bases, let them find the base commander and immediately give an emergency take-off order. In any case, it is necessary to get the Turkish Air Force fighters into the air before the bombing arrives to minimize the losses.
Until this time. Duchway never thought about how the Air Force of the Republic used to blow up the two strategic targets that were closely protected. You must know that the air defense command center and the theater communication center are the most important military facilities and must be closely protected.
As far as Dudgway knows. The Turkish army has long deployed a battalion of anti-aircraft missiles in the Combat Zone near Hakari. Other words. The air defense forces that protect Hakkari have a number of theater anti-aircraft missiles, as well as a set of tactical interception systems. Capable of intercepting hundreds of targets at the same time.
To break through such a well-frequented air defense system, at least dozens of fighters need to be put into service. What's more, both military installations are in Dazhi. Deep, above which are more than four meters thick of earth and rock, heavy ground-penetrating bombs must be dropped by fighter jets, and multiple bombs must land on the same hit point to destroy them. That is, the fighter must go into the interception range of the air defense system to drop bombs.
Combine these factors. Suffice it to say that the Air Force of the Republic used some kind of advanced fighter that was not known to the outside world.
After asking the staff officers to contact the US officers at the bases, Du Qiwei found the officers stationed in the four and asked them to provide all the relevant information about the new equipment of the Republic Air Force as soon as possible.
Although it is useless to figure out the reason at this time, as the supreme commander of the coalition forces, Du Qiwei must figure out how many trump cards his opponent still has in his hands. In other words, if even the strength of the opponent is not clear, how can Dugway achieve the ultimate victory?
It was at this time. Massive bombardment of Turkish military systems has begun.
It can be said that Dugway basically guessed correctly. The combat planes of the Republican Air Force did not enter the theater of operations, not even close to the Turkish border, and most of the bombers fired cruise missiles over southeastern Iran or the eastern deserts, while most of the fighters dropped standoff munitions over the lower reaches of the two rivers in Iraq or over the plateaus of northwestern Iran. In the course of the round strikes, because the high-pitched cruise missiles carried by the bombers are much faster and more powerful than the ammunition outside the defense zone, and are more suitable for striking high-risk and important targets, they have focused on bombing the air defense positions of the Turkish army, especially the regional air defense missile positions and the long-range warning radar system array. The stand-off weapons carried by fighters can be more flexibly equipped with warheads, and some advanced ammunition can also choose an appropriate strike mode according to the situation during the mission.
What Duchway did not guess was that the Republican Air Force did not focus on bombing command and communications targets.
In fact. There were not many large command centers of the Turkish army in the southeast. And it's all underground, and it is necessary to deliver a volley strike with heavy ground-penetrating ammunition, which is not suitable for the first round of bombing. What's more. The number of combat aircraft dispatched by the Republican Air Force was far less than Duchway had estimated, so it had to strike at the most important targets.
It was in this way that Dudgway had just sent off the intelligence officer when he received a second war report.
The bombardment began in full swing, and most of the military facilities in the southeastern region of Turkey were bombed.
Although the battle report from the Turkish army is still chaotic, it is much richer than the last time. Du Qiwei did not ask the liaison officers sent by the ten years, as can be seen from the battle reports from the Turkish army. Most of the command facilities of the Turkish army were not bombed, otherwise it would not have been possible to report on the battle so quickly.
Because it is not clear how much force the Republic Air Force has invested, this judgment is somewhat incredulous.
What does Pei Chengyi want to do?
According to Duchway's understanding, after opening the air defense breach. The first thing Pei Chengyi had to do was to get out of the fighter jets and blow up several important command centers of the Turkish army. Although the command center of the Turkish army is located under it. And there are several false targets, but with the strength of the MIA, it is impossible not to know the exact location of these facilities. In other words, Pei Chengyi has no reason to let go of so many high-value targets.
When he thought about this question, Dudgway's first thought was: Pei Chengyi fought ground battles like this.
Judging from the overall bombing campaign, the air force of the Republic did not focus on bombing a certain area, or in other words, it bombed all the air defense positions, air bases, and army camps in the southeastern part of Turkey. If Pei Chengyi does not intend to start a ground war. Instead, it is hoped that Turkey will be defeated by large-scale bombing, so there is no need to do so, but it is necessary to use the open air defense breakthrough to first paralyze the command system of the Turkish army, and then gradually disintegrate the combat effectiveness of the Turkish army. Only when it is necessary to launch a large-scale ground war in a timely manner, that is, when it is necessary to dispatch a large amount of air power to provide support and cover for the ground forces, should we strike an all-out attack on the opponent's air defense system, air power, and ground forces at the beginning of the war, disintegrate the enemy's territorial defense capability, and allow the ground forces to enter the war in the most relaxed environment.
It's just that. Dudgway did not insist on this rigid assertion.
Although Du Qiwei does not deny that Pei Chengyi is actively preparing for the face war, in his opinion. Pei Chengyi has no reason to "give up" on air strikes. According to Duchway's judgment, just before dawn, a few hours before the start of the air strike, the first combat unit deployed in Pakistan's Balochistan province was out and was expected to reach West Azerbaijan province in northwestern Iran in the early hours of the day. Although Du Qiwei was very sure of the strength of the 1st Combat Unit, in his opinion, this ace force needed to be prepared for the attack in a timely manner. That is, the first combat unit will cross the border line on the first day of July and storm into Turkish territory.
As a result, the Republic Air Force still has about an hour to prepare for preliminary firepower, which is enough to carry out large-scale bombing, and Pei Chengyi has no reason to let go of so many high-value targets.
Thinking of this, Du Qiwei made the final judgment that Pei Chengyi did not invest all his air power.
Making a judgment does not mean that the problem has been solved.
The news of the bombing of the Turkish army was still coming frequently. Duchway contacted the Fourth Fleet, which was operating in the eastern Mediterranean, and demanded that carrier-based fighters be immediately sent into Turkish airspace to assist the Turkish Air Force in its homeland air defense operations. Although the fleet commander offered presidential authorization to allow fighter jets to enter the theater of operations, he did not refuse to allow fighter jets to take to the air. Requirements for patrolling near Turkey.
Without delay, Dudgway immediately contacted Mrs. Loeblin.
There's nothing to say to Landes, as long as Mrs. Loebling is dealt with, the president will have no objections.
Of course. Duchway did not forget to explicitly mention the importance of strengthening the air defense of the Turkish homeland during the call. He even bluntly told Mrs. Loblin that if a decision could not be made within a minute, the fighters of the Fourth Fleet would enter Turkish airspace. Not even God can save Turkey. It can be said that Dugway's meaning could not be more obvious, if it is because the White House has not approved his request for a long time. It is up to the procrastinating politicians to take all the blame.
This is not just a warning, but also a threat and a threat.
At 7 o'clock, Landers officially authorized the U.S. military to enter the war.
It can be said that Mrs. Loeblin did it very thoroughly. She helped Duchway secure authorization not only to help Turkey with its own air defenses, but also to send fighter jets into the skies over other allies.
Under this authorization, Duchway could order the Sixth Fleet, which entered the Red Sea, to send fighter jets to Israel.
Considering that Pei Chengyi may be in the right place. Deliberately left part of the forces at the time when the US-Turkish coalition strengthened its air defense. The focus was on Israel, so Duchway didn't waste the power that Madame Loebling had won for him. At the same time as ordering the fighters of the Fourth Fleet to enter Turkish airspace, the fighters of the Sixth Fleet were also ordered to urgently take off and enter the skies over Israel from the Gulf of Aruba to assist the Israeli Air Force in strengthening its air defense patrols on the mainland.
It was only after this deployment that Dudgway breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there was a staff officer who suggested that good fighters deployed in Malta as an Italian air base should be rushed over as soon as possible. Should be trained ten heavy air supremacy fighters. However, Dudgway did not rush to adopt the proposal, but ordered all heavy air supremacy fighter units in the European theater to enter combat readiness and prepare for emergency lift-off.
The staff officers only took into account the balance of strength, but did not take into account the timeliness.
as the commander of the coalition forces. Dudgway had to take every situation into account.
In other words, Du Qiwei had to figure out why Pei Chengyi didn't send all his air power.
Although there are many reasons for Pei Chengyi's reservations, such as the one mentioned earlier. He is ready to strike Israel with what is left of his air power. However, before the strength of the Republican Air Force was counted for the time being, Du Qiwei was even more convinced that Pei Chengyi had encountered some problems that could not be solved, such as the inability to deploy tactical aviation to the front line in time.
Three hours before the bombing began, around the end of the day, the fighter jets that were supposed to be deployed arrived at the air bases in southern Pakistan and southeastern Iran, and began to make preparations. According to the calculation of the sortie efficiency of the Air Force of the Republic, without interference, these fighters will definitely be able to take off before the point of attack and bomb Turkish targets between 8 and 8 o'clock. That is, the second round of bombardment will come between 8 and 8 o'clock.
It was already 7 o'clock when Duchway ordered the carrier-based fighters to enter the battle, and even if he immediately ordered the 42 fighters deployed in Malta and Italy to take off urgently, it would not have been possible to rush to Turkey before 8 o'clock. There is no way to intercept the opponent's fighters. Thus losing the actual price.
What's more. The fighters who carried out the first round of bombing will certainly not return to the mainland of the republic. Air bases in Iran, Iraq and Syria will be landed, and some heavy air supremacy fighters will be scrambled into the air to provide cover for fighters flying out of the second round of bombing missions. Responsible for seizing air supremacy. These fighters will surely take to the air before 8 o'clock. In other words, when the US Air Force's cantonment fighters arrive, they will encounter a small group of old aircraft that are waiting for battle. Because the US Air Force has not yet fully stationed at the Turkish air base and lacks support forces, it is unlikely that a good fleet will take away air supremacy from the old fleet and will only lose valuable combat forces.
For Dudgway. Any loss at this point is unbearable. The address of this site has been changed to: Excuse me. 8. Please read the law!
You must know that if you resist Pei Chengyi's onslaught when you are a key fighter, you must at least retain part of your air supremacy and lay the foundation for the next counterattack. If you lose all your capital in one go. Even if reinforcements arrive on a large scale after July, Dudgway will be out of luck.
The battle has just begun. Dudgway had to be on the move.
In fact, Pei Chengyi also has to be careful with his calculations.
Although he can find ways to paralyze and fool his opponents, he must not ignore the difficulties that exist in reality. As Du Qiwei judged, Pei Chengyi did not devote all his strength to the first round of bombing because there was no way to deploy tactical aviation to the front line in advance. It's not that there is no deployment, it's that there is no way to complete it in absolute secrecy. For this question, Pei Chengyi specially organized several Air Force staff officers to discuss with the personnel of the Military Intelligence Bureau for a month, and finally came up with the answer that it could only be deployed after the start of the battle.
Exactly. The jamming work began at 4 a.m., and the first round of bombardment did not start until 7 a.m.
When Du Qiwei dispatched troops, Pei Chengyi was busy dealing with the second round of bombing. Because he had to arrange two rounds of bombing to hit key targets, when formulating a tactical strike plan, Pei Chengyi did not focus on dealing with the enemy's air defense system and air base first.
Compared to the first strike, the second strike was much smaller, and the concubine power was small.
4 to 4 points of cutting edge. J said, Xiao Cave, and 2 brigades equipped with Yan frame small, than. Except for the Xiaoye fighters, which will carry out forward escort missions after liftoff, all Xiaokou fighters will carry out ground attack missions in an emergency lift-off.
According to Pei Chengyi's requirements, these fighters must be ready for liftoff within two hours.
If at the air base of the republic, this is a very simple matter. In case of emergency, Xiao Lao and a dozen? can be ready for re-liftoff in the old minutes. At the Pakistani airbase there are also no big problems. After all, the Pakistan Air Force has adopted the ground support system exactly the same as that of the Republic Air Force, and the quality of the army's ground personnel is also good. The problem is that at Iranian air bases it is not so simple.
Generally. In order to ensure the smooth conduct of the second round of bombing operations. The Air Force of the Republic needs to make a lot of effort.
Thankfully. The Iranian military has been actively cooperating and unconditionally supporting the republic's military operations.
By the time 7 o'clock, when Duchway had fully strengthened Turkey's air defenses, an old group of aircraft carrying out the forward escort mission had already reached the skies over the northwestern region of Iran. Coming soon into Turkish airspace.
Other words. Before the start of the second round of bombing, the two sides will explode the first air battle for air supremacy.
