Chapter 834: The Broken United Nations Force
Lin Daxin heard that Wu Qida, commander-in-chief of the Free Corps Army, sneered at the combat effectiveness of the Philippine government army, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and he couldn't complain that Wu Qida looked down on the Philippine government army so much, in the process of pursuing the United Nations forces in the San Fernando area, in fact, the main thing was to pursue the Philippine government army, but the performance of the Philippine government army was too speechless, basically the troops of the Free Corps army were busy catching prisoners all the way, and there was no battle at all, as long as the Philippine government army was caught up, Both officers and soldiers consciously raised their hands.
Lin Daxin smiled and said to Wu Qida, commander-in-chief of the army: "Most of the troops of the Philippine government army have just been expanded, and basically 90% of them are recruits. ”
Wu Qida nodded and said: "As long as the United Nations forces at Subic Naval Base choose to evacuate Luzon, then even if the Philippine government forces still want to hold on to the Luzon area north of Manila, they can't do it, our army only needs to send 1 integrated division of troops, which is enough to sweep north of Manila, and even 1 infantry brigade can almost do it, but I don't think the UN troops at Subic Naval Base should be easily evacuated, if we can hit the land forces of various countries at Subic Naval Base again, Perhaps the so-called UN forces will be disbanded. ”
At this time, Dong Zheng, commander-in-chief of the Free Corps Navy, said to Lin Daxin: "Commander, our navy is ready to attack, 2 helicopter carriers, 6 missile destroyers, 4 missile cruisers, 5 missile frigates, 3 conventionally powered submarines and 1 nuclear-powered attack submarine, all gathered in the port of Laoag, ready to sail to the waters near the Subic naval base to attack the aircraft carrier formations of the United States and Britain, of course, with the current strength of our navy, It is impossible to compete with the nine aircraft carrier formations of the United States and Britain, but our Free Corps currently has air supremacy, and if the Air Force sends a large number of fighters to cooperate with our navy, we will not have no chance of winning at all. ”
Lin Daxin listened to Dong Zheng and nodded, but he was actually not ready to send the Navy of the Free Corps to attack the 9 aircraft carrier formations of the United States and Britain at this time, after all, the strength of the Freedom Corps Navy is still too far behind others, and the 9 aircraft carrier formations of the United States and Britain are currently losing nothing except for some carrier-based aircraft.
Of course, Lin Daxin didn't want the United Nations troops at Subic Naval Base to leave Luzon so easily, so he turned to Meng Wei, commander-in-chief of the Free Corps Air Force, and asked, "How are the Air Force's losses now?" ”
Meng Wei said with a few treasures: "Commander, after this series of air battles, our air force has lost a total of 70 fifth-generation fighters, 154 fourth-generation fighters and 408 third-generation fighters, and the number of fighters that can be used is still more than 2,000, and the United Nations Air Force has lost at least twice as many fighters in air battles. I believe that our Air Force can directly dispatch fighter planes to cooperate with the army and navy to attack the land forces of various countries at the Subic Naval Base, as well as the aircraft carrier formations of the United States and Britain on the sea. ”
Lin Daxin touched his chin and said: "Now the air supremacy is in our hands, this opportunity is indeed not easy, so let's do it, the army immediately mobilizes troops and attacks in the direction of the Subic naval base, and the air force immediately launches air strikes on the Subic naval base and the United Nations naval fleet on the sea near the base, striving to leave more United Nations troops on Luzon Island, and the navy immediately dispatches from the port of Laoag to approach the sea near the Subic naval base, but don't get too close for the time being, The United States and Britain have nine aircraft carrier groups in the waters near the Subic Naval Base, and unless the Air Force can severely damage all nine aircraft carrier groups, the Navy is likely to steal chickens and lose money. ”
In addition to the commanders of the armies of the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Belgium, Spain, Turkey and the Philippines, the commanders of the armies of the remaining 13 countries gathered at the temporary headquarters of the United Nations forces at the Subic Naval Base, but everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
U.S. Army five-star General Lewis? Black, who was also the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, turned pale at this time, and his ambitions before the start of the war quickly collapsed directly under the powerful offensive of the Freikorps. Blake coughed and said to the commanders of other countries: "I didn't expect Huaxing to have so many fighters, even more than the more than 2,000 fighters gathered by our entire United Nations forces, so that at the beginning of this battle, our United Nations forces fell behind, and now hundreds of thousands of troops from our countries have been driven to our Subic naval base in the United States, and because our navy carrier-based aircraft and air force fighters have lost too much, The hundreds of thousands of troops of our United Nations troops who have retreated to Subic Naval Base at this time will face the danger of being bombed by the Huaxinghui Air Force and attacked by the Huaxinghui ground forces at any time, and the only way for us to retreat at present is to leave Subic Naval Base and leave Luzon Island as soon as possible! ”
The army commanders of the other 12 countries all know that after this fiasco of the United Nations forces, Luzon Island is not trying to hold on, and now it is definitely the most correct choice to evacuate Luzon. Blake prepared a plan for the troops of various countries to withdraw from the Subic naval base, and the army commanders of the other 12 countries did not object, and nodded in agreement.
The commander of the German Dispatch Army, Ngoroman, asked: "Lewis? General Black, where are we retreating? In addition, we have hundreds of thousands of army units from all countries here, can we mobilize so many ships to transport our hundreds of thousands of troops? ”
Lewis? Blake said: "Now that we have mobilized a large number of passenger ships and transport ships from nearby countries to rush to our ports here, plus the warships of our two countries, the United States and the United Kingdom, can also transport some officers and soldiers, there should be no problem in transporting our hundreds of thousands of troops!" I am ready to withdraw our UN troops to Mindoro, and when our UN Air Force is replenished with warplanes, we will wait for an opportunity to counterattack Luzon! ”
Mindoro Island is the fifth largest island in the Philippines, with an area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers, located in the south of Luzon Island, which is not far from Luzon, and it takes about 1 hour by boat.
Hear Lewis? Blake said waiting for an opportunity to counterattack Luzon, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, Ryan? Wilson couldn't help but say gloomily: "I really didn't expect that our UN forces would be defeated again, and they would be defeated so badly." ”
When the commanders of the armed forces of other countries heard this, they could not help but look gloomy, and the general data on the losses just now had already been calculated, first of all, the most miserable were the fighters of the United Nations Air Force and the carrier-based planes of the Navy, while the fighters of the US Air Force and the carrier-based planes of the US Navy suffered the greatest losses.
The Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers USS Washington, USS Reagan, USS Truman and USS Stennis in the waters near Subic Naval Base have a total of 40 F-35 Lightning, 80 A-10B Intruder fighters and 160 FA-18 Super Hornet fighters, as well as 24 electronic attack aircraft and 20 AWACS aircraft. 33 FA-18 Super Hornet fighters, 9 electronic attack aircraft and 10 AWACS aircraft.
In addition, in the waters near Subic Naval Base, there are also US Navy Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers USS Lexington, USS Shangri-La and USS Oriscani, which originally had a total of 210 F-35C lightning fighters, 18 EA-6B electronic attack aircraft and 18 early warning aircraft, but now these three aircraft carriers add up to only 62 F-35C lightning fighters, 11 EA-6B electronic attack aircraft and 10 early warning aircraft.
In this way, the 490 carrier-based aircraft that can be counted as fighters on the 7 aircraft carriers of the US Navy are now only 129.
Of the 800 fighters gathered by the U.S. Air Force on Fuga Island and Galayan Island, there are now only 32 F-35A fighters, 34 F-22 Raptor fighters, 58 F-15 fighters, 65 F-16 fighters and 54 F-14 fighters, while the 360 fighters of the three Marine Corps aircraft wings of the U.S. Navy are now only 20 F-35C Lightning, 22 A-10B Intruder fighters, 39 FA-18 Super Hornet fighters, 17 F-16 fighters, 16 AV-8B Harrier attack aircraft, 18 electronic attack aircraft and 6 AWACS aircraft.
In the airfields of the two islands north of Luzon Island, Fuga Island and Galayan Island, the original 1,160 fighter planes of the United States now add up to only 357 planes, and counting the remaining 129 carrier-based aircraft that can be used as fighters, the two add up to only 486 planes, you must know that before the Americans started the war, all the fighters of the Air Force and Navy combined, but they gathered 1,650 planes, and now they have lost more than two-thirds, no wonder the five-star Admiral Lewis? Blake looked like a mournful woman.
The losses of fighters in other countries are not small, the British Navy has only 2 F-35B fighters left on the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, the British Air Force has 10 Lightning fighters and 24 Typhoon fighters, the French Air Force has 6 Lightning fighters and 8 Mirage 2000 fighters, the Luftwaffe has 5 Lightning fighters and 9 Typhoon fighters, and the Israeli Air Force has 4 F-35A fighters, 6 F-15 fighters and 7 F-16 fighters, There are 4 Lightning fighters left in the Dutch Air Force, 3 Typhoon fighters left in the Spanish Air Force, and the rest of the countries except the United States, so the total number of fighters is only 110.
The air forces of Great Britain, Germany, France, and Israel, after a failed attack on the Huaxinghui airfield in the Laoag area, were dispatched to support the air battles in the San Fernando and Luzon City areas, resulting in a combined loss of 30 fighters.
Relatively speaking, the U.S. Army did not lose as badly, but it was only relative, after all, one of the ace units of the U.S. Army, the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, was heavily damaged, and several main brigades basically existed in name only, and the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the U.S. Marine Corps also suffered considerable losses.
Compared with the U.S. Army, the British Army's losses were much larger, with the 2nd Infantry Division, the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 6th Air Assault Brigade and the 7th Air Assault Brigade all suffering heavy losses, and the number of dead and missing had already exceeded 20,000.
The 2nd Infantry Division of the British Army was heavily damaged by the 2nd Armored Tank Brigade, the 3rd Integrated Division and the 4th Integrated Division of the Free Corps when it was in the final post-mortem mission, but thanks to the 2nd Infantry Division of the British Army, otherwise it would not be easy for other UN troops in the Luzon City area to withdraw to the Subic Naval Base, and the 2nd Infantry Division of the British Army was left with only an empty shelf and completely lost its combat effectiveness.
One armored brigade and one mechanized infantry brigade of the French Army, one mechanized infantry division of the German Army, one mechanized infantry division and two infantry divisions of the South Korean Army, one mechanized infantry brigade of the Israeli Army, one infantry brigade of Canada, one infantry brigade of New Zealand, two infantry divisions of the Indonesian Army, and one mechanized infantry regiment and three infantry brigades of the Malaysian Army also suffered relatively large losses.
However, the combined losses of the army forces of all the above-mentioned countries are not as large as the losses of the Philippine government forces, and the Philippine government has reported to the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, Lewis ? Black reported that of their more than 200,000 army troops, only 60,000 have been evacuated to Manila.
Lewis? Blake looked at the gloomy commanders of the armies of various countries, and said: "I have ordered the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, the 5th Division of the U.S. Marine Corps, and the 7th Infantry Division of the British Army to deploy in Subic City, which leads to Subic Naval Base, to prepare for the Huaxinghui ground attack force, and continue to attack Subic Naval Base. ”
Lewis? Blake's words made the army commanders of many countries breathe a sigh of relief, and the expressions on their faces improved slightly.
Lewis? Blake continued: "Although our UN forces have failed this time and suffered great losses, compared to the overall military strength of our entire UN forces and various countries, the losses have not yet reached the point of breaking the bones, as long as we can withdraw to Mindoro Island to rest for a period of time, and then replenish more fighters, we will finally be able to completely wipe out the terrorist organization Huaxinghui!" ”
Lewis? As soon as Blake's words fell, a U.S. colonel suddenly broke into the temporary headquarters. After Blake, he immediately shouted urgently: "General, according to satellite reconnaissance, a large number of fighters of the Huaxing Society are flying towards the Subic Naval Base, and the ground forces of the Huaxing Society have also been dispatched, and the direction is also our Subic Naval Base!"
