Chapter 404: Seizing Air Supremacy in Southeast Asia (Part I)

Chen Shao comforted Xie Yuxin for a long time, and after her mood had recovered a lot, he asked the guards to send her back to the palace.

After returning to the command center, Chen Shao also discarded those strange thoughts in his heart. He knew very well that he had no choice but to embark on the path of war.

As for lies and deeds, Chen Shao can only say one thing: lies are not war, but wars are full of lies. The means don't tell the story, the result is the main thing.

Perhaps seeing that Chen Shao's face was different from before, Chen Fuqin walked to Chen Shao's side and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is something wrong?" ”

Chen Shao shook his head, he didn't want to say this now, as long as he had a clear conscience, everything else would be left to future generations to judge.

"Nothing, is Du Yuming ready?"

Since Chen Shao didn't say anything, Chen Fuqin didn't say anything, and replied directly: "All aspects are ready, and they can launch an attack at any time." ”

"Then let's get him started!" Chen Shao waved his hand and said, "I'll go to the lounge to lie down first, and if there is any change, come and inform me immediately." ”

After speaking, Chen Shao walked straight out under Chen Fuqin's puzzled eyes.

In the lounge next to the command center, Chen Shao lay quietly on the bed with his hands pinned to the back of his head. Thoughts flew all over the world, and with his current state of mind, he was also disturbed by Xie Yuxin's words before.

He never regretted his decision to join the war, which was an inevitable process of China's rise. This was not what he was thinking about, his mind was on the soldier.

The war in World War II was fierce, much more intense than later generations. It's been four or three years now. In later generations, World War II was already halfway over. But in this time and space, the real World War II has just begun.

And now this World War II has completely separated from the afterlife. Chen Shao did not know what kind of changes would take place in the international situation in the future, he did not know how long the war would last, and he could not estimate how many soldiers China would lose.

He had prepared enough for World War II, and all the starting points revolved around winning the war and preserving the lives of the soldiers as much as possible.

Speaking of which, Chen Shao has never been a qualified hero, because he cares too much about the lives of soldiers. But sometimes. War will always go unplanned. Death is inevitable.

"Let's hope this war goes well! Fewer casualties, don't leave me with too much guilt. This is what Chen Shao said to himself after thinking about it a few times.

―――――――――

At the headquarters of the Chinese Sixth Army in Yangon, Du Yuming received a notice from the Ministry of National Defense. The order for the attack was immediately given.

"According to the first offensive plan. Launched an attack on the Allied forces in western Burma. ”

He is also a graduate of the first phase of the Chinese Military Academy. Du Yuming's commanding talent is not at all weaker than others. As early as when China declared war on Britain, it had already ordered its troops to be ready to attack at any time.

At this time, less than an hour had passed since the declaration of war, and it was in the middle of the day. The troops had finished their lunch, and the order to attack was given.

Since the beginning of the history of thermal weapons warfare, the mode of warfare has been repeatedly improved. When the trench warfare of World War I began to be difficult in World War II, many new tactics were derived. In particular, in large-scale modern weapons warfare, the seizure of air supremacy has become a major link in this global war.

This is also the case in China, where airplanes began to be popularized in World War I, but they were truly carried forward in the hands of China.

The Chinese military attaches more importance to the strength and understanding of the air force than any other country. Gaining air supremacy is tantamount to gaining the initiative in war. Even the German blitzkrieg, without air supremacy, was nothing more than delusion.

In the planning of the offensive against the Allied forces in western Burma, it was not the roar of artillery or the offensive of infantry, and the seizure of air supremacy became the first step in the attack.

As Du Yuming's order was issued, several large airports in Yangon, which had already prepared fighter planes, began to take to the air. Over the years, China has gradually phased out the Warhawk-2 and sold it to the Allies and the Axis powers. Even now Japan is equipped with a lot of Warhawk-2s, otherwise there is no way to confront the American Mustang fighters.

At this time, the Chinese Air Force has all been equipped with Warhawk-2 improved fighters, as the basic composition of the air force, and of course, there are also a lot of third-generation fighters, that is, jet fighters.

As a supplementary point between the second-generation fighter and the third-generation fighter, since it is still a propeller aircraft, the speed has reached the limit. The main improvement direction of this improved aircraft is the ability to accelerate at short distances and the flexibility of air combat. Many of these features were improved on the basis of the American Mustang fighter in order to outperform the Mustang fighter in air combat.

As for the American P-47, in terms of speed, it has also always been the strong point of the Chinese Warhawk fighter, and it is naturally worthy of it.

In the major military airports in Yangon, fighter planes similar in shape to the Warhawk-2 were lifted into the air in an orderly manner under the deployment of the airport command console.

In the waters off Yangon, two First Emperor-class aircraft carriers also began to take off fighters in an orderly manner. Unlike land airfields, these two aircraft carriers are equipped with carrier-based aircraft specifically designed for aircraft carriers. Although China now also has jet carrier-based aircraft, these two aircraft carriers have not been modified, and there is no way to equip jet carrier-based aircraft.

However, since it was built from the beginning, the First Emperor-class aircraft carrier has had a lot of capabilities capable of taking off and landing jet carrier-based aircraft.

Just change the blocking cable at the stern and the interception net in the middle, and install the landing aid, plus the signal and command system and the corresponding operators.

These are fully equipped, and it is not a problem to take off jet carrier-based aircraft on the First Emperor class.

China did not modify the First Emperor-class aircraft carriers in this regard, and the jet carrier-based aircraft were only equipped on the Imperial-class aircraft carriers. Mainly because today's propeller carrier-based aircraft also have strong combat effectiveness, and there is no need to make them all expensive jet carrier-based aircraft.

Of course, China's carrier-based aircraft are still very advanced, and after years of improvement, they are compared with the original carrier-based aircraft. It's a lot stronger.

A total of 70 carrier-based aircraft took off from the two aircraft carriers, plus a fighter group from Yangon airport. A total of 500 warplanes swooped down on the Allied airfields in western Burma.

China did not hide its actions, because, according to intelligence, the British also set up radar stations in Burma. For a huge fleet of aircraft, it is impossible to hide. and all that is true will come in the open.

Although history has changed beyond recognition, history still has an earth-shattering inertia. Just as Rommel and Montgomery met in North Africa, Mountbatten and Du Yuming met. Although in later life, the two are not related much. But both men are also walking through the jungle in Southeast Asia.

One is the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Southeast Asia, and the other is the deputy commander of the first route of the expeditionary force.

In this plane. Mountbatten was still the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Southeast Asia. And Du Yuming's side is very different. Today, he is the commander of a force of nearly 400,000 people.

Mountbatten didn't know what the afterlife would be, and he only knew what kind of enemy he was facing.

In the Hereafter. He is a member of the British royal family. A Mountbatten plan divides India into two opposing countries. He is also the maternal great-grandson of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. It can be said that it is famous.

However, now this Marshal Mountbatten is frowning in the Allied Command in Southeast Asia. an hour ago. China officially declared war on Britain. And Churchill just sent a telegram asking him to strengthen his defense. He did not declare war on China, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He knew what Churchill was worried about, and he also understood that Churchill was definitely stepping up his efforts to contact the member states of the Allied Powers to achieve a unified intention and declare war on China together.

But these things have nothing to do with him at present, and since China has declared war, it will not just talk about it. The previous large-scale military mobilization in China had touched his nerves.

Now that he was at war with England, he had to feel the pain of waiting. Now the initiative is all in the hands of China, and it is not clear when China will fight. That's the hardest part.

Fortunately, Du Yuming didn't let him wait too hard.

The soldiers at the radar station soon brought Mountbatten the news he had been waiting for, spotting a large number of warplanes coming towards Burma. The target was several Allied airfields in Burma.

When he got the news, he was immediately relieved. At least now that China has moved, it won't make him feel too passive.

"Immediately order all the warplanes to take off from all airfields, and we must not let the Chinese planes break through." Mountbatten did not hesitate to give this order, he knew very well that only airplanes could effectively intercept the opponent's planes.

Back when the news of the declaration of war was known. He had already ordered all the troops to be kept on high combat readiness, and the planes at the airfield were already refueled and waiting for an order to take off. The radar department is always on high alert.

After giving the order to take off the fighters, Mountbatten still felt unsafe, although there were many high-performance fighters assisted by the United States in these planes, but for China, which has always maintained the title of the world's No. 1 air force, the chances of complete interception are not great.

On the European battlefield, the Mustang fighter and the Warhawk-2 won and lost each other, which Mountbatten was not unclear. But the Warhawk-2 was only an aircraft of China more than ten years ago, and God knows how advanced the aircraft used by China itself is now.

"The air defense forces of the airfields were ordered to be on high alert, and all fuel and ammunition were transferred to underground warehouses. The anti-aircraft fire of all defense zones should also be prepared at all times, and in the event of an attack by Chinese planes, they should immediately return fire. All forward troops were to maintain a state of 12 points of alert to prevent a surprise attack from China on the ground. ”

Under the pressure of the war, the Allied forces in Southeast Asia also moved quickly, and a large number of fighter jets also took off at major airports in western Burma.

PS: Many people know the relationship between this book and the super-tech power. Today, Hua Hua received great encouragement from Yu Tear Manjiang, and I feel much more relaxed and confident.

At the same time, I also received a notice from the editor in charge of the blue light today, and the mobile reading base has begun to recommend red alerts, and it will be classified and strongly promoted next week.

The depressed mood for several days in a row was swept away by the two of them, and they felt much more comfortable.

Thank you for the fish in tears, thank you Blu-ray editors, and thank you to those book friends who have been supporting Red Alert.

Gorgeous heartfelt to everyone: "Thank you!" (To be continued.) )
