Chapter 261 261 Preparations for landing on the island

Chen Feng was piloting his F-14CN fighter jet, and was surrounded by excitement at this moment. Two hours earlier, his Ninth Air Force Division had been redeployed to fly northeast along the coastline from Hainan, not an ordinary transfer mission, but an escort mission — escorting the Air Force's bomber units.

Of course, the Air Force itself has escort fighters, but considering that the battle that may break out is at sea, it is the duty of the Navy to take action. Moreover, this operation is not trivial and of great significance, and the mobilization of the elite of the whole army by the HNA must naturally include the Tomcat fleet of the 9th Division of the HNA that has participated in actual combat.

"Father, son is about to complete your unfinished mission!" Chen Feng held the joystick tightly, feeling that he was full of strength, as if his father, who had already sacrificed, was watching him at this moment, and passed on his strength to him.

The subjugation of Taiwan is a great cause that every PLA soldier dreams of.

"This is the Thunderbolt Brigade, and I have seen the escort target, the King Hammer Bombing Brigade." Chen Feng saw the object of protection this time in his sight, and said in the communicator.

"Thundercats, pay attention, keep a close watch over the air situation, and do not allow any enemy fighter to threaten our bombers."

"Thundercat understands."

In fact, Chen Feng doubted that the 4V on the other side would be able to detect their large-scale fleet. The Air Force has already dispatched a fleet of electronic warfare planes that can be called luxurious, and has begun to carry out electronic suppression operations against the Taiwan military, and the current radar and various communications facilities of the Taiwan military should have been affected to varying degrees; under such circumstances, the Taiwan Air Force will not be able to determine where the PLA fleet is, and even if it discovers that the communications have all collapsed, and that things are not going well, and that the fighters are taking off to meet the fight, it is estimated that it will not be able to find out where the other side is.

"The gap is too big, it's not enough to see." Chen Feng thought to himself. In recent years, the equipment level of the whole army has risen too quickly, while the fruit army has basically not changed, and the original qualitative advantage has also been offset at this time. Oh no, it can't be offset, the combat power of the fruit army is estimated to be less than a fraction of the PLA, and it is a real war scum.

In Chen Feng's view, fighting the fruit army is a little more troublesome than fighting the Malaysian government army, considering that the scale of this dispatch may be unprecedented, on the whole, it may be easier than the last time to attack Malaysia.

The bomber Chen Feng who appeared in his sight was no stranger, it was the Air Force's H-6 medium bomber, but it looked different from what he had seen before. The earliest ones he saw were all early models, and after Qi Yiming intervened in the equipment, they were all modified into the H-6K God of War model. What he sees now is actually not the K-type God of War bomber, but the advanced version of the H-8S Thor bomber.

S stands for Strategic, which means that since the H-8S, this medium bomber has been promoted to a strategic bomber. Some people also consider the H-6K, which can launch cruise missiles, as a strategic type, but it is generally believed that since the range is only 8000-9000 km, it is a bit far-fetched to call it a strategic bomber. The Thor bomber is a new version given by the base after the upgrade of Qi Yiming's base, and the original H-6K is only 70% of its size.

Captain 49. 7 meters, wingspan 47. 1 meter, machine height 14. 8 meters, empty weight 76 tons, maximum take-off weight 198 tons. The power is replaced with four turbofan engines of 92 kN, the maximum speed is 580 knots, the maximum range is 14,000 kilometers, the combat radius is 6,000 kilometers, the maximum bomb load is 24 tons, and the maximum magazine plus the external can carry 8 air-launched Long Sword missiles.

In terms of appearance, the difference from the original Ares bomber is not particularly big, the most obvious difference is that there are two more engines, and the entire body is enlarged, but the aerodynamic shape has not changed much.

This type of bomber is actually quite chicken in Qi Yiming's own opinion, and it is roughly the same as the H-9th century bomber in terms of volume, but it is far inferior to the century bomber in terms of bomb load and range, and the century bomber is a standard stealth bomber after being painted with stealth paint, which is a deadly generation difference compared to the Thor bomber, so after having the century bomber, it is really not very useful to the Thor bomber.

Thinking about it on the other hand, the H-6K has a range of about 8,000 kilometers and a bomb load of only 12 tons, which is just right to do activities around the Japanese archipelago, and if the long-range deterrence is launched, the H-9 is a little sad because the stealth may not even be detected by the other party, and the maintenance is much more expensive than the traditional bomber, which is not cost-effective. Coupled with the number limit of 18 eggs, this weapon is bound to be put in the hand, and it will be used as the kind of heavy weapon that will not be used until the critical moment.

The H-8 Thor bomber has a long enough range to be more suitable for long-range deterrence than the H-6K, and it is not a problem to fly in the Indian Ocean and East Africa, and it is not a problem to cross the Pacific Ocean to the West Coast of the United States as long as there are tankers, and in addition to the precision of the engine, the other technologies are not very complicated, so the cost is not high and can be mass-produced.

After upgrading from the base to Lv2, Qi Yiming produced 40 Thor bombers, mainly for strategic cruises and large-scale firepower projection. Just like this campaign to attack Taiwan, naturally he can dispatch dozens or hundreds of flying leopards and flying cloud leopards to drop bombs, and he can even dispatch a second artillery to attack short- and medium-range surface-to-surface missiles and cruise missiles, but in terms of economic cost and deterrent effect, bombers are the most reliable.

The first wave of the offensive paralyzed the communications and electronic observation capabilities of the Taiwan military, and the second wave was a large number of joint guided bombs used by the bomber units. It is naturally cooler to use weapons such as KD-88 and CJ-10, but Qi Yiming is not willing to waste that money, a CJ-10 cruise missile can be worth nearly 100 FT-3 guided bombs, and the width of the battlefield is so narrow, the strait is only 200 kilometers, and the range of FT-3 is about 90 kilometers.

Based on these considerations, the weapons carried by the bombers are basically FT-3 and LS-6 weapons, and a small number of them are combined with KD-88 land-attack missiles or YJ-91 anti-radiation missiles with higher accuracy.

Qi Yiming, who was far away in Beijing, also closely followed the progress of the entire battle, and he personally called Li Zhisheng, the commander at the front, and said: "We must make a surprise effect, the Taiwan army is very well prepared for our army's counter-landing, and the island of Taiwan is long and narrow, with almost no depth, and landing on the main island basically means that they are gone." In order to counter the landing, the Taiwan military has done everything it can to prepare a large number of 'blocking belts,' the purpose of which is to delay the offensive time of our landing force and facilitate their counter-landing force to launch a counterattack.

Of course, under the strong air superiority of our army, even if these anti-landing forces are deployed, they will have no effect, and they will be pulled out by our fighters and bombers one by one. But the key to the whole operation is to race against time, and we must land on the main island as quickly as possible, and attack the nuclear research institute in Taoyuan County to take down the nuclear warhead. Therefore, the Taiwan military must not be given any time or opportunity to transfer this dangerous nuclear warhead.

I demand that all combat units maintain a high degree of mental concentration, maintain a complete clearance of the landing site, and not allow a single Taiwan soldier to drop mines, iron hooks, or anything like that into the sea, and absolutely not see mines or roadside bombs on the road. ”

Qi Yiming dealt with this battle with great care, although he looked down on the Duwan military, but he expected the enemy to be lenient, strategically attached importance to the enemy, tactically despised the enemy, and could end the battle as quickly as possible and reduce damage, so it must be done. In addition to mines, mines, and other things, the Taiwan army also prepared such obstacles as rail bars, triangular cones, barbed wire, iron deer barricades, steel hedgehogs, iron fences, iron nail piles, and anti-airborne triangular forks. They have even combined this non-explosive obstruction with explosiveness, such as steel gratings with mines and nutcrackers with mines in troughs. Specific containment facilities include blocking trenches, barrier walls, man-made steep walls, "glass knife mountains", agar hemp, fire barriers and water network barriers.

Normal people shudder when they look at these words, but fortunately, many facilities can not be set up in ordinary times, through the Beidou system, Qi Yiming quickly selected several landing sites, all of which are beachheads that are not usually laid with obstacles. After all, the island also needs to have normal navigation and marine economic activities, and it is impossible to **** to the coast of Mandao is full of mine nets and other things.

The main targets of the air force are also clear, that is, those garrison posts and anti-landing facilities along the coast. As for air defense, there is not much to worry about, and the first is that the air force basically chooses to strike outside the defense zone, and the Taiwan military's air defense artillery or air defense missiles cannot hit the PLA air attack units that are at least 40 kilometers apart. In addition, Taiwan has not purchased Patriot missiles at present, so it lacks effective means of containment in the face of a large PLA fleet.

The air raids were carried out simultaneously on the island of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, and Penghu was undoubtedly an important pass to stop the landing on Taiwan from the mainland, but with the serious tilt of the force, it itself became of little significance. If Taiwan has the superiority of the sea and air, it will naturally make our army like a fish in the throat, but now as long as the PLA Navy and Air Force are dispatched, Penghu will basically be isolated from the theater of operations, and all that can be done is self-preservation.

Several H-6K Ares bombers immediately launched an attack on Penghu Magong after receiving the coordinate assignment of the early warning aircraft. This small island, the most valuable thing to hit is the airport and the port, when destroying the airport facilities, the use of submunitions, the flying warheads will hit the entire surface of the airport into potholes, and under the watchful eye of the air force, even if you want to repair the runway, you will face another blow to the top.

The port was even more miserable, followed by the bombers, there were also HNA Flying Leopard bombers, and the Guo warships in Magong Port were immediately wiped out by them. After the bombers smashed all the anti-aircraft weapons that could be seen, the flying leopards rushed at a low altitude and fired anti-ship missiles horizontally, hitting the warships flying the white sun flag one by one.

The airstrikes lasted only half an hour, and Magong's military facilities were in ruins. Even after being severely hit, the surviving Fruit troops were unable to send the information back because their communications were severely disrupted.
