Chapter 808: It's just the beginning
On September 26, 2031, a war that attracted the attention of the whole world finally broke out, and the United Nations forces that entered Luzon, after many days of preparation, launched an all-out attack on Huaxing in the area of San Juan Town and Denkel Town in Luzon at the same time.
In the area of San Juan Town and Denkel Town, the army units of the Free Corps under Lin Daxin have already built a large number of fortifications, and a total of more than 40,000 biological and chemical troops have been deployed.
At the beginning of the war, the United Nations forces first dispatched a large number of warplanes to seize air supremacy in the area of San Juan Town and Denkel Town, and directly used aerial bombs and missiles to clear the fortifications of the Free Corps Army.
At 9 o'clock in the morning on September 26, the first wave of air strikes launched by the United Nations forces sent a total of more than 480 warplanes to the San Juan Town area and the Denkel Town area, and most of the troops were fighter jets, but the Free Corps Air Force, after Lin Daxin's fierce theft, the strength of the Free Corps Air Force was even a few points stronger than the air power gathered by the United Nations forces, how could it be possible for the United Nations forces to easily seize air supremacy in two areas!
According to the order of Meng Wei, commander-in-chief of the Free Corps Air Force, the Free Corps Air Force immediately had more than 518 warplanes take off from three airfields inside and outside the city of Laoag, of which 502 are fighters, and the remaining 16 fighters are electronic attack planes and early warning aircraft.
The air battle has entered a white-hot situation from the very beginning, and there are quite a few planes that can be used for interference on both sides, so that the hit rate of the air-to-air missiles launched by the fighters of both sides has been reduced a lot, and many fighters of both sides have even used machine guns to carry out tragic hand-to-hand combat, and one after another the fighters of both sides have fallen to the ground in the fierce battle.
On the ground, the Army of the Free Corps was not willing to be lonely, using numerous anti-aircraft weapons and its own air force fighters to fire fiercely at the fighters of the United Nations forces.
At this time, the fighters of both sides in the sky were very dense, and it was not easy to distinguish between friend and foe on the ground, and if they didn't get it right, they had to shoot down their own fighters, but after the air defense weapons of the ground forces of the Free Corps Army opened fire, there were basically very few cases of accidental injuries.
Many fighters of the United Nations forces were not shot down by the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force, but they were killed by the anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and the cooperation between the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force and the anti-aircraft fire on the ground caused the fighters of the first wave of air attacks of the United Nations forces to suffer greatly.
"Oh God! I'm being targeted by 2 Huaxing fighters, and I can't get rid of it! Who's going to help me! A U.S. Navy pilot flying an F-16 fighter jet shouted to his comrades on the airborne intercom, hoping that someone could help him, and two F-16 fighters of the same model in the Free Corps Air Force stared at the fighter he was piloting.
"John! Climb fast! I'm on your top left, I'll ...... right away" An American pilot on the airborne intercom just responded, but the words were interrupted before he could finish speaking, the pilot named John glanced at the upper left of the cockpit, and was horrified to find that one of his F-15 fighters quickly fell to the ground with thick smoke.
John just wanted to continue calling other comrades, when he suddenly felt a white light in front of him, and then John didn't feel anything anymore, the F-16 fighter he was piloting was hit by an air-to-air missile, turned into a big fireball in the sky, and fell directly to the ground.
The cyborg pilots of the Free Corps Air Force are very skilled in aerial combat, and in the first wave of the battle between the two sides, the number of Free Corps Air Force fighters still has an advantage, and the free legion army's anti-aircraft firepower is still helping below, so that the fighters of the first wave of air strikes of the United Nations forces quickly fell into passivity, and the number of losses rose sharply.
Fortunately, the United Nations forces know that the strength of the Huaxing Air Force is very strong now, after all, the Huaxing will steal a large number of fighters from several countries, and it did not take long for the second wave of more than 200 fighters to rush to the San Juan Town area and the Denkel Town area respectively, join the fierce battle in the air, and regain some disadvantages.
Soon after, a second wave of Freikorb Air Force support planes also arrived over the San Juan and Denkel areas, and the air superiority was reversed in favor of the Freikorps Air Force......
The warships of the United Nations ground forces and the United Nations Navy were not idle after the attacks by the warplanes of the United Nations Air Force and the carrier-based aircraft of the Navy.
Hundreds of large-caliber artillery pieces of the United Nations ground forces immediately launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the fortifications built by the Free Corps in the area of San Juan Town and Denkel Town, but then the large-caliber artillery of the Free Corps Army, without taking into account the threat of the United Nations fighters in the sky, immediately launched a counterattack, and then the large-caliber artillery of the ground forces of the two sides began a fierce artillery battle.
The fighters of the United Nations forces, after discovering the large-caliber artillery group of the Free Corps Army and launching a counterattack, wanted to destroy the enemy's large-caliber artillery group on the ground, but the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force in the sky were not ornaments, and the United Nations Air Force fighters who wanted to attack the large-caliber artillery group on the ground were forcibly blocked, that is, one or two fish that broke through the blockade and slipped through the net will also face extremely fierce anti-aircraft fire, and countless surface-to-air missiles will swarm at the fish that have slipped through the net.
The U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier battle group in the waters near the port of Subic Naval Base even launched cruise missiles at the San Juan and Denkel areas, but most of them were intercepted by the Free Corps Army anti-aircraft missiles, and did not cause too much damage to the Free Corps Army units in the two areas.
After the air force of the United Nations forces launched an attack, some missile destroyers and missile frigates of the two aircraft carrier formations of the British Navy immediately launched a number of cruise missiles at the three airfields inside and outside the city of Laoag, whose coordinates had already been determined, with the intention of directly destroying the nest of the Huaxinghui Air Force.
Fortunately, the air force of the Free Corps deployed a large number of anti-aircraft missiles at three airfields inside and outside the city of Laoag, and after discovering the dense missiles flying from the sea on the radar, the air defense regiments of the three airfields immediately launched a large number of anti-aircraft missiles to intercept them, and the cruise missiles launched by the British Navy were mostly intercepted, and the air defense regiments of the three airfields also launched a number of cruise missiles at the two aircraft carrier formations of the British Navy on the sea surface, and counterattacked, but unfortunately the results achieved were very limited. Most of the cruise missiles were intercepted by anti-aircraft missiles launched by British warships, and only one British Navy missile frigate was hit by one cruise missile and was slightly damaged.
Lin Daxin discovered that there was an enemy fleet on the sea near the port of Laoag, and immediately made a decision, let some fighters from the three airfields inside and outside the city of Laoag take off, and flew directly to the position of the enemy fleet, preparing to carry out air strikes, and the fighters dispatched also included more than a dozen strategic bombers.
When the two aircraft carrier formations of the British Navy discovered from their radars that enemy planes were flying towards them, they immediately dispatched carrier-based planes to intercept them and prevent the enemy's fighters from flying over the aircraft carrier formations, and the fighters of both sides opened up another battlefield of air combat more than 30 nautical miles away from the two aircraft carrier formations of the British Navy.
The air battle in the area of San Juan and Denkel lasted until about 9 o'clock in the evening of 26 September, when it had to be temporarily stopped because the United Nations forces had lost too many fighters, and the artillery battle between the ground forces of the two sides ended as early as 3 p.m. because the United Nations forces had lost too much large-caliber artillery.
On September 26, the ground forces of the United Nations forces also took advantage of the fierce fighting of warplanes and large-caliber artillery on both sides to launch several tentative attacks, but they did not even hit the forward positions of the Free Corps Army, and they were repulsed one after another, leaving only a corpse in the forward positions of the Free Corps Army.
At 1 o'clock in the morning of 27 September, a conference room at the US naval base in Subic was still brightly lit, and the commanders of the 10 countries that sent troops to join the attack today were all counting the losses on the 26th, but it can be seen from the faces of these commanders that the battle situation of the United Nations forces today is not so good.
The face of George Abiza, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, was the most ugly, and he said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Our US Navy and Air Force suffered heavy losses in 12 hours of air combat, 6 F-22 Raptor fighters, 55 F-35C Lightning fighters, 7 F-35A fighters, 31 A-10B Intruder fighters, 87 FA-18 Super Hornet fighters, 10 F-15 fighters, 12 F-16 fighters and 24 AV-8B Harrier attack aircraft were all destroyed in air combat, adding up to a total of 99 fifth-generation fighters and 133 fourth-generation fighters, 5 electronic attack aircraft and 4 AWACS aircraft also fell in air combat, in addition, in the artillery battle, our US Army lost 61 large-caliber artillery, 37 self-propelled howitzers, artillery casualties of more than 1,200, plus the large-caliber artillery that disappeared a few days ago, Our US Army's large-caliber artillery is already less than two-thirds of what it used to be. ”
In fact, George Abiza could still accept the loss of large-caliber artillery calmly, but the loss of American fighters has made George Abiza a little unbearable.
This time, in order to completely wipe out the Huaxing Society, the United States not only dispatched seven aircraft carrier squadrons, but also stationed a large number of fighter planes at the Fuga Island airfield in northern Luzon Island, all of which added up to 690 fighter planes alone, including 322 fifth-generation fighters and 368 fourth-generation fighters.
Moreover, less than half of the US pilots of the 232 fighters lost today were able to parachute to escape, and even the US pilots who fell to the ground alive basically became prisoners of the Huaxing Society, after all, the air battle was conducted in the sky above the Huaxing Society's position.
For the US military, the loss of so many experienced pilots is not even less serious than the loss of hundreds of fighters.
What makes George Abizza uncomfortable is that after losing so many fighters and pilots, he still has not seized air supremacy in the San Juan Town area and Denkel Town area, and judging from the situation of today's air battle, it will be very difficult for the United Nations forces to seize air supremacy, and even George Abiza is pessimistic in his heart that it will be far away.
William Fadel, commander of the British Expeditionary Force, said with a sad face: "Our British navy, land and air forces have suffered great losses, not only the Navy's Prince of Wales aircraft carrier was sunk by Huaxinghui's strategic bombers, but also 1 missile destroyer and 2 missile frigates were also sunk, and the Navy's carrier-based aircraft lost 49 F-35B fighters, 5 MASC early warning planes and 6 EH-101 anti-submarine helicopters. ”
After a pause, William Faddell continued: "The British Air Force has lost 10 Typhoon fighters, the British Army has lost 38 large-caliber guns, and the artillery has suffered nearly 600 casualties.
Commander-in-Chief George Abiza said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that after the war, our UN forces would suffer such great losses, the war has just begun!" ”
Several other commanders then reported losses in their own countries, with the French Air Force losing 11 Mirage 2000 fighters, the Luftwaffe losing nine Typhoon fighters, and the Israeli Air Force losing five F-35A fighters, 12 F-15 fighters and 10 F-16 fighters.
The Australian Army lost 14 large-caliber guns with 212 artillery casualties, and the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force lost 17 large-caliber guns with 305 casualties.
The army units of the three countries of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia were ordered to launch a tentative attack, and as a result, just counting the number of casualties, the Philippine Army exceeded 1,500, the Malaysian Army exceeded 700, and the Indonesian Army exceeded 800, and the bodies of more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of these three countries are still in front of the positions of the Free Corps.
With such a huge loss on the first day, the commanders of the countries in the conference room were already a little shaken in their confidence in the next battle. (To be continued.) )
