China's air strikes on South Africa have achieved remarkable results, and have also directly promoted the PLA to accelerate its landing operations against South Africa. More than 80 percent of South Africa's military and civilian airports have completely lost their ability to use, and even if South Africa and the US military have dispatched engineering troops to rescue and repair, the Chinese will strike at these airports again within six hours of the start of the repair work, resulting in the airport being destroyed again before the repair is completed.

"The scary thing is not that the Chinese can knock down our airports and runways, the scary thing is that the Chinese always know our every move, which makes us exceptionally passive in the war, if we can't clamp down on China's intelligence capabilities, then I can conclude that we are finished!" A U.S. major general of the South African Command said that the solution in South Africa is already predictably bleak, and that as long as the U.S. military and other European allies are unable to replenish South Africa's ground forces on a large scale, South Africa will be doomed.

The reason why the Chinese PLA is able to grasp the movements of the US military and South Africa in almost real time is because South Africa and China have discharged a large number of drones for missions. From the relatively cheap and tactical Pterodactyl, to the Xianglong for all-weather strategic reconnaissance, and a large number of swords from aircraft carriers, together make up the UAV configuration for missions in South Africa. Pterodactyls are more detailed reconnaissance missions, they are huge, the Chinese PLA has invested nearly 200 pterosaurs in South Africa at least, they fly at medium and low altitudes, and it is difficult to be detected, for South Africa's airports and other facilities to carry out close monitoring, once found that South Africa has signs of repairing them, send the intelligence back. They will also attack relatively thin enemy targets, such as military vehicles, lone armored vehicles, and so on.

There are only a few Xianglong, and most of them fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, using synthetic aperture radar and high-resolution military cameras to detect the ground, even if they can carry weapons, but the PLA is not inclined to do so, because they have more reliable strike drones, that is, sharp swords.

The swords that take off from aircraft carriers are the hammers in the drone sequence, they basically do not perform reconnaissance tasks, the Xianglong and Pterodactyl grab the target for them, and then all these drones need to do is basically drop bombs according to the target. This process almost does not require human participation, the cloud combat system will directly reconnoiter the target found by the UAV with attack value, send it to the sword or other manned combat aircraft cruising in the rear, if it is a sword, it will automatically attack these targets according to the system guidance, and the whole process will be smooth.

The South African campaign is China's first large-scale use of drones after the start of the war, and the effect is very good, because the size itself is small, and most of them have stealth design, which makes these drones difficult to detect, and the clear division of labor also improves their strike efficiency. More indispensably, the previous large-scale air strikes have almost exhausted much of South Africa's defense capacity. Including radar stations, air defense systems, airfields, and some barracks, South Africa's defense against drones is now at its lowest point. Even after several successive air battles, although the US military did not lose a large number of fighters in air battles, the airfields for fighters to take off did suffer heavy losses, and even many fighters were not shot down after taking off, but there was no place to stay on the return trip.

Therefore, even if the US military can now find that several Chinese drones are on a mission, there is not much they can do about it, they use anti-aircraft artillery to shoot down several Chinese drones, but it is only second, the number of Chinese drones is increasing, and the PLA does not pay attention to this loss.

It was precisely in this situation that the more difficult it was for the US military and the South African side to resist China's large-scale invasion, and finally when the PLA front command determined that it was difficult for the US military and other allied forces to pose any greater threat to the landing operation, a huge landing operation officially began.

The only remaining fleet of the US army has already withdrawn to the Pacific region under the passive resistance strategy of fleet commander Cornell, and there are other allied navies following the action, that is to say, in South Africa, only South Africa's own navy is still faithfully guarding its maritime borders, and this fleet is absolutely not enough to stuff the Indian Ocean Fleet under the leadership of Zhang Juzuo.

The last few ships of the South African Navy were sunk by anti-ship missiles launched by several J-7 carrier-based attack aircraft, and then there were no other ways to prevent the Chinese PLA from landing on the sea. However, South Africa has also deployed some shore-to-ship missiles, but with a huge Chinese drone reconnaissance force, most of the shore-to-ship missiles were destroyed before the battle, and only a few launchers were well hidden to launch missiles, and the Chinese Navy's Aegis system was no joke, shooting down all South Africa's anti-ship missiles.

China sent two carrier-based aircraft aviation regiments to clear the beachhead defensive weapons at the landing site, and the US military and South Africa deployed certain pillboxes, shore artillery, and the like, but under China's absolute air supremacy, these things were not enough to maintain the beachhead, and after two hours of strike, the beachhead was in shambles, and the US and South African forces suffered heavy losses, and the Chinese landing fleet also drove up the beachhead.

A large number of riptide ACVs can send heavy enough troops to the beachhead, and raid destroyers are excellent cover firepower, not to mention that the landing operations of modern warfare are completely different from those of World War II, and the first strike can destroy almost a qiē anti-landing weapon. The only thing that can create some obstacles for the PLA is the so-called "poor man's atomic bomb" mine. But this is just a little more troublesome, first of all, things like the riptide ACV cannot touch mines, they sail on the water, and only very complex and advanced mines can threaten them. Moreover, for this landing battle, the Indian Ocean Fleet brought a number of Type 081 minesweepers, as well as a large number of minesweepers, and even the Red Alert Dolphin is also an excellent anti-mine weapon, these intelligent creatures can use sonic cannons to directly destroy mines after discovering them, but when doing so, try to stay away from these explosives.

South Africa also wants to deploy some surface strike weapons such as multiple rocket launchers to curb the landing of Chinese troops, but in the case of total loss of air supremacy, these huge target surface strike weapons are very easy to be found by Chinese fighters and then targeted to kill, even though the US military and South Africa have thought of a lot of ways to camouflage it, and also made some additional targets, but before the strike, the UAV with advanced detection capabilities reconnoitred its electromagnetic and thermal signatures, and can determine those are real guys, and those are inflatable guys.

In order to expand the chances of success, the Chinese PLA launched an offensive on a wide area of three beachheads, each of which was no more than 80 kilometers apart.

In addition, a large number of warplanes of the Chinese naval aviation are still in the air, waiting for every call from their ground partners, and then bombarding anything that hinders the advance of the Chinese army. They created a 50-kilometer radius of clearance over the landing site, in which no South African and US ground troops could survive; after being fatally attacked, the US ground forces could not continue to garrison near the landing site, but could only retreat. The distance of the clearance circle is calculated based on the range of the US military's long-range weapons, and of course, most of what exceeds the range of 50 kilometers has been destroyed by the Chinese Air Force and the Chinese Air Force.

At the same time, the navy launched eighteen surprise destroyers as the main fire support for this landing, and these strange ships equipped with six-barreled 100mm guns were monsters born for shelling, and when they tilted their artillery fire towards their opponents, there was nothing to resist them.

The PLA has four divisions and six combat brigades with a total of 130,000 people participating in the landing operation, and in the vast majority of the beachheads, they basically did not encounter any decent resistance, and anything that opened fire would be viciously returned within more than ten seconds, this is the combat mode of the information age, accuracy and rapidity have improved the efficiency of the battle, and there is absolutely no target that needs to be cleared in front of the PLA that can last more than ten minutes, and the diversity of strikes makes any resistance extremely fragile.

Qi Yiming was also overjoyed when he learned that the PLA landing operation was successful, although this result was expected, but as long as the PLA landed, it meant that South Africa would no longer have any chance, and the continuous Chinese army and even the troops of the SCO Allied Forces would land in South Africa until the US army and its allies were completely defeated and occupied an important stronghold in southern Africa.

After the successful landing of the PLA, after a short rest, they were put into the extermination operation of the US military and other NATO troops in South Africa, at this time the state of the US military was not good, the air raids that lasted for many days not only caused them to lose a lot of weapons and personnel, but also morale was quite low, South Africa has been completely isolated here by the Chinese Indian Ocean fleet, they can not go home, there is no support, just like a group of abandoned people. Orders from the White House and the U.S. Department of Defense are still telling them to hold on to help, but anyone knows how difficult it is to go on an expedition here from the other side of the Atlantic, the Chinese have a geographical advantage, and the U.S. military lacks an effective foothold in the South Atlantic, which is even more difficult than breaking through the Mozambique Channel from South Africa.
