Modern warfare is a contest of comprehensive strength between countries.

This is true to a certain extent, that under certain geographical and geographical conditions, a war of attrition may be formed between the enemy and the enemy.

The Chinese and Western coalition forces are gradually moving in this direction along the Tibetan South River-Tista River. Fierce air battles are staged here every day, and the wreckage of aircraft on the ground is piled up on the mountain, and the Chinese positions near the front line have almost become a graveyard for aircraft.

Since Li Bufan stopped attacking India for some reason, the two river fronts were a bit like the Battle of the Somme with the arrival of reinforcements from the coalition forces, of course, the difference was that the Chinese side had an absolute advantage, concentrating thousands of artillery pieces to suppress the other side, and the air force also had an advantage.

The terrible sound of shelling sounded from time to time, like a call to hell.

The sky was full of chasing planes.

A two-plane formation on the Chinese side was pursued by six enemy aircraft.

These two Chinese fighters were the fighters of Gao Zhihang and his wingman Ma Fei.

"Yes, six to two, this shows that there are more people bullying us and fewer people."

Gao Zhihang heard the sound of the radio walkie-talkie, and said with a smile: "Then play with them, you go up and down." ”

"Still playing, be careful to play with your little life."

"An-la! These deflated calves want Lao Tzu's life, it's still early. Gao Zhihang laughed in response, and then rolled over on its side, and the plane quickly swooped down. And Ma Fei had no choice but to scold, quickly pulled up, and rose to the sky.

The six enemy planes quickly divided into two formations, one formation and three planes in full pursuit.

Gao Zhihang looked back and saw that the enemy's three planes were also diving down at high speed. smirked: "Come on, come and chase Lao Tzu." The plane continued to dive down unhurriedly and reached a low altitude of 300 meters. Two of the enemy planes pulled up in panic, and one of them was still in hot pursuit.

Gao Zhihang knew that it was nearly a hundred meters above the ground before he pulled it up, and the huge downward momentum made the plane almost pull up against the ground. However, the pursuing enemy plane was not so lucky, it could not control the plane, and it fell to the ground headlong and crashed into pieces.

Gao Zhihang pulled up a few rolls. Instead, they chased after the two enemy planes that were pulled up first. A point fire, in which one of the enemy aircraft was carried down in smoke and smoke. The enemy pilot parachuted in panic, but the parachute bag did not open and fell from a height of several hundred meters. Directly smashed into a pulp.

Another enemy plane hurriedly rolled over. I want to go to Gao Zhihang's rear. But after a month or two of air battles, Gao Zhihang's technology has changed from what it used to be, and the opponent has not been able to get rid of it several times. was finally shot by Gao Zhihang and exploded in the air.

"Haha, sample." Gao Zhihang was very proud. But Ma Fei's hurried call came from his ears: "Gao Zhihang, come and help Lao Tzu solve one." As soon as he looked up, he saw that two fighters were still chasing Ma Fei, and immediately shouted, "Why is there one missing?" ”

Ma Fei said angrily: "Nonsense, of course it was killed by Lao Tzu." ”

Gao Zhihang teased: "Not bad, there is progress." But the action was not slow, the plane quickly pulled up, biting the two enemy planes chasing Ma Fei, watching the two enemy planes keep firing at Ma Fei, and Ma Fei's plane continued to evade, which was extremely dangerous. At that moment, he did not dare to slack off, and bit one of them to the death, fired two points in a row, and finally shot down, and the other enemy plane swooped down and fled in a hurry.

Ma Fei obviously noticed, and quickly rolled and dived to chase down, adjusting his position, and the on-board machine gun sprayed angry tongues of fire, turning the plane into a ball of fire.

Gao Zhihang heard Ma Fei scolding indignantly: "What's the matter, let you chase Lao Tzu and chase him to Lord Yama." I couldn't help but laugh and exclaimed, "Okay, don't complain." We solved the opponent and now the hunt begins. ”

"Let's go!"

Two warplanes rushed into the smoke of gunpowder.

It has to be said that after a series of air battles, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Air Force has increased dramatically after being tempered by the flames of war.

From the lookout of the Lambull command, Dannat, Olive, and Marshall all had very ugly faces.

"The combat effectiveness of the Chinese Air Force has increased too quickly. More than two months ago, we only needed two or three of the same fighters, and they could only rely on the superior performance of the aircraft to escape, but now they can effectively use their advantages and hunt for them. Olife looked solemn.

Marshall said bitterly: "This is simply a disaster. ”

Dannatt's face was even more ugly, and it was also a disaster for logistics to maintain a large fleet of aircraft on the front line against the Chinese Air Force. Tens of thousands of planes take off every day, which is equivalent to the consumption of tens of thousands of tons of fuel, and it is necessary to prepare spare parts for the planes and other materials needed, as well as the supply of millions of troops, which is simply astronomical. The most important thing is that the sea route in the eastern Indian Ocean is not safe, and the supplies of the coalition forces can only be disembarked from ports such as Mumbai, and it is good to say that the railway is unblocked, but after the destruction of the Indian anti-colonial forces, the railway has been completely paralyzed, and the railway transportation is not safe, so the Chinese side sent bombers to completely destroy the train.

The supplies of the coalition forces had to be transported by road and inland water for two to three thousand kilometers to reach the front line, and the consumption of them was simply impossible to calculate, let alone be destroyed by anti-colonial forces. The mere maintenance of this supply line has held back hundreds of thousands of their troops, and the most heinous thing is that some of these anti-colonial forces are very strong and have solid control areas, and they are building airfields in the control areas, and China not only provides assistance to these forces through the airfields, but also uses the airfields to bomb the supply lines of the coalition forces.

He suddenly understood that the reason why the Chinese did not attack India may be largely due to the consumption of their vital forces through Indian anti-colonial forces. India is a British colony, but the indigenous people of India have not been used by the British, but have become a knife that consumes British power, which has to be said to be a great irony.

Dannatt said in a deep voice: "I was thinking that the Chinese would not launch a ground attack in the short term, and we should first draw as much strength as possible to eliminate the Indian resistance forces first." Only when India is stabilized can we concentrate our greatest strength to confront the Chinese. ”

Marshall was surprised: "What about the Chinese's air force strike?" ”

Dannatt said in a deep voice: "The necessary defense is still needed. But many of our pilots are not well trained, and I don't think it's necessary for these pilots to come here and die, they can deal with the indigenous forces that resist first. ”

Marshall frowned and said, "But in this way, the pressure on our front line will be very high." ”

Dannatt said gloomily: "If we don't deal with those resistance forces, our logistics will not be effectively guaranteed, and the pressure will be even greater." ”

“”——

The Nanjing Ministry of National Defense has been much more leisurely, and there has been no large-scale ground operations, which has reduced the pressure on the staff officers and civilian staff of the Ministry of National Defense.

Li Bufan sat next to the sand table making tea and listened to Li Huashan's report.

"We have arranged for the new and old air force to be put into operation, and we hope that this number will be about 6,000 pilots, so that we can maintain one plane and two people, take turns to take the air to fight, and ensure the physical strength of the pilots to the greatest extent."

Li Bufan nodded and said, "This suggestion is good. ”

Li Huashan said: "At present, we have about 7,000 pilots on the battlefield, and 6,000 pilots have more than three months of flight training. At present, we have 4,000 J-1 trainer aircraft, and we expect to train 10,000 pilots a year. Our J-1 performance is very reliable, but the high-intensity flight training, the normal engine wear and tear is serious, basically a plane must replace the engine in three months, for which the number of growth is slow. ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "It is said that several anti-colonial forces in India that we support have asked us to send planes to help in the war?" ”

Li Huashan responded: "Yes." They said that now the coalition forces sent a large number of planes to attack them, and although the coalition planes were not very good, they also caused them heavy losses. ”

Li Bufan smiled: "It's very good." Then we will send planes to help in the war, in short, we must explain that the air battle must take place in the area controlled by our side or the anti-colonial forces, so that even if the plane is shot down, the safety of our pilots can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. ”

"Yes!" Li Huashan said with a smile, "Our pilots have very few losses, because the J-2 has special armor to protect the pilots, so our aircraft weighs nearly two tons." ”

Li Hengshan suddenly ran over at this time, approached Li Bufan's ear and said, "Commander-in-chief, the Americans may have noticed our 'plan to come to the city'. ”

Li Bufan was taken aback and said, "What's the matter?" Could it be that someone leaked the secret? ”

Li Hengshan said: "I'm not sure about this. However, according to the news from there, the U.S. military added three divisions to the Alaskan side. As a result, the U.S. military presence in Alaska has reached more than 60,000 troops, which is likely to have a huge impact on our plans. ”

Li Bufan frowned and said, "That's not right. If the American side really knows about our plans, then there will definitely be more than that. As far as the current prestige of our army is concerned, I am afraid that if we send 300,000 people, the Americans will not be able to sleep well. ”

"What the Commander-in-Chief said is extremely true." Li Hengshan paused and said, "However, what we are worried about is that if this is only the vanguard of the United States to reinforce Alaska, it will be troublesome." And because of Alaska's oil fields, the U.S. side has built a road to Alaska, which greatly facilitates their supply. ”

Li Bufan's face sank, and he pondered for a while: "It seems that the plan must be accelerated, so as not to have too many dreams at night." By the way, how are Alaska's oil fields being developed? ”

Li Hengshan said: "In order to cooperate with us in time, a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested there, and the oil pipeline has been basically completed, and it is expected that the refinery will be able to refine oil in a month." The annual output of the oilfield is expected to be one million tons, which is enough to support combat use. ”

Li Bufan said in a deep voice: "Very good. What about the rest? ”

Li Hengshan said: "All preparations are in place. Secretly prepared enough food for our million-strong army to consume for a year. ”

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!" (To be continued......)
