Chapter 78 078 The mutiny ends
Commander of U.S. Forces in Korea, William? Liversey looked at the four JH-7 Flying Leopard fighters flying in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really can't imagine that China and the United States, which fought inseparably on this land 30 years ago, are actually going to fight side by side today." ”
Wallace, a staff officer next to him, said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with this, at least this congressman has saved a sum of military spending, and the facts also show that the Chinese can also be good allies for us." ”
Liversey nodded and said, "This fighter is very similar to the Tempest-to-ground type developed by the Europeans, but the Chinese Flying Leopard seems to prefer to drop laser-guided bombs at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters to accurately hit the enemy." ”
Wallace also said quite seriously: "That's right, the combat effectiveness of this fighter is very high, I have heard that the Chinese used a new type of fighter-bomber in the Vietnam battlefield before, but I did not expect it to be so extraordinary." These Chinese fighters do not stop at all in South Korea or on their aircraft carriers, relying on the long range of thousands of kilometers to fight directly across the sea, and then go back after the fight. They are capable of dropping at least tens of tons of bombs at a time, and their precision-guided weapons are very effective. ”
Liversey smiled, "At least they have paralyzed all the airports in South Korea, and it may be a little more troublesome for us to renovate them after this incident." ”
He turned around and glanced at the tower not far away, where there was a group of liaison personnel sent by the Chinese PLA, through whom Lifusi requested air support from the Chinese army, and then the J-8V Skua taking off from the Hainan and the flying leopard taking off from the land-based airport would complete the various air supremacy or air raid tasks assigned by Lifusi. In just over a day of fighting, Leversey has called in air support from the Chinese Navy and Air Force 25 times, repelled the rebellious South Korean forces besieging the Yongsan base, and basically paralyzed the most rampant and dangerous rebellious South Korean Air Force. US planes stationed in Japan have also come over several times, but their combat efficiency is completely incomparable with that of a full-time fight-bomber plane like the Flying Leopard.
Now that Liversey has led the conservative South Korean army and the U.S. troops in South Korea to control the main road in and out of Seoul, although the rebellious First Field Army of the South Korean army still controls the capital, if the U.S. forces do not open the road, there will be no supplies here, and the self-proclaimed interim president Kim Hyun-shin is also in trouble. The U.S. ambassador to South Korea has sent a note to Kim Hyun-shin demanding that all rebels in South Korea lay down their arms and surrender, and Kim Hyun-shin will step down automatically. The desperate Kim Hyun-shin and Yoon Chung-hoon and others are basically doomed to prison, but this group of "righteous men" still wants to demand that the United States agree to the roadmap they have specified, that is, to hold a direct election to the national Congress next month, and to hold a direct presidential election after the constitutional change.
With a smile on his face behind his back, Liversey said: "To be honest, I quite like this kind of letting the Chinese play the role of our air support, it is obvious that they do a better job than the British, and the strength is enough." The biggest takeaway from this incident is that we have a better relationship with China, and I bet that the new general secretary of the Soviet Union must be going crazy. ”
Wallace was well versed in the political situation in the Soviet Union, shook his head and said: "I don't think so, the new general secretary doesn't seem to be keen on continuing to confront us, it seems that they are playing up some kind of political reform and the like these days, while constantly sending friendly signals to the outside world, including to us, including to China." ”
Liversey smiled and said, "Really? Are the Soviets going to make peace with us? Do you mean that there will be peace in the world? Hey, how boring that would be. ”
He paused, and then asked his secretary, "When will the Seventh Fleet send the Kitty Hawk to Korea?" Although the Chinese are very useful, this is faceless after all. ”
The secretary replied hesitantly: "General, the Seventh Fleet said that their Kitty Hawk is being repaired and cannot be dispatched for a while, and the situation is basically under control, and His Excellency the Commander of the Seventh Fleet does not seem to be eagerly coming here. ”
Wallace laughed and said, "It must be the Chinese Hainan that scared them, it must be." ”
Liversy didn't know what to do, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"China's amphibious assault ship Hainan, formerly known as the Melbourne of the Australians, once cut a destroyer of the Navy in half, and had previously cut off an Australia's own destroyer. Now the Chinese have put this ship on the Yellow Sea, and the Seventh Fleet will not dare to send it unless the Chinese get their ship away. ”
Liversey didn't think there was such a story, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu couldn't stop laughing.
After the laughter stopped, Liversey said again: "If you don't come, forget it, anyway, the battle is almost over, and Kim Hyun-shin and the others can't hold out for too long." ”

In fact, the role of the PLA in the US Air Force is not mainly to curry favor with the US military, but more to vent its own anger. The mission, which represents the dignity of the country, was not only bombed, but also received all kinds of cold reception, which was unacceptable to the Chinese people, and in this incident, the navy with Commander Liu Huaqing at the core was bent on verifying its newly acquired combat effectiveness, including the fleet and air force units, which made a series of sorties, showing prestige and self-confidence.
In the major mainstream and non-mainstream media in the world, the movements of the Chinese military on the Korean Peninsula have been described throughout the article, and some media have even used the title "The Korean Peninsula: Let the Oriental Dragon Make Famous Again" to write about China's military presence and combat effectiveness here.
At the same time, the Gunsan base of the US military stationed in South Korea was disarmed by the South Korean soldiers without bloodshed, and it became a laughing stock in the world; although the US Air Force stationed in the ROK did not lose a single plane or injure a single person during the entire incident, it did not fire a single shot, especially after the Flying Leopard fighter plane unit appeared, it washed all the airfields in South Korea, and even the US planes became impossible to take off.
Based on Flying Leopard's powerful air support and battlefield interdiction capabilities, the U.S. military and conservative South Korean forces finally controlled the rebellious South Korean forces. Of course, the J-8V, which established absolute air supremacy before this, also contributed greatly, and a total of 55 South Korean fighters were shot down by the PLA since the H-5 defection incident in the conflict, and most of them were the results of the J-8V. The J-8V flew more than 70 sorties and fired more than 80 missiles without damaging a single one.
Slightly unlucky, during a battlefield interruption mission, a flying leopard unfortunately crashed due to improper operation, but fortunately, the two pilots ejected directly and escaped, which was also the only loss of PLA in the conflict.
The fact that the Navy was able to participate in this conflict so resolutely was inseparable from the large amount of materials provided by Qi Yiming in advance. Although the PLA only fought for a few days, it consumed hundreds of tons of ammunition and countless fuels, not to mention the maintenance and loss of fighters and warships. However, both Ping Taizong and Liu Huaqing thought that this battle was worth fighting, because the things consumed were provided by Qi Yiming for free anyway.
The main ones dispatched by HNA were Qi Yiming's Red Alert pilots, and they were also the most guaranteed combat power, and Liu Huaqing gave them full trust and achieved impressive results.
Qi Yiming returned to Qingdao on the same day after being rescued and met with Liu Huaqing.
Liu Huaqing pulled him to look at it repeatedly, and then said: "It's good if nothing happens, it's good if nothing happens." ”
Qi Yiming was quite moved, and swore a curse: "I will never run around in the future." ”
Liu Huaqing said with a smile: "This time it scared you." ”
Qi Yiming was very frank: "Well, I'm really scared to death." ”
"Chairman Ping, they're all worried about you, too."
Qi Yiming could only nod, he didn't know how to respond, and he also knew how much impact Lu Dao's trip had this time. However, the people who originally appointed him were also high-level bigwigs, and they must be the ones who regret it the most. But in any case, it is impossible for me to go abroad more in the future, so let's stay in China honestly.
Liu Huaqing quipped again: "It seems that if you want to travel in the future, you will have to use the fleet to open the way for you." ”
Qi Yiming smirked, then changed the topic and said: "The navy is really majestic this time, I can't imagine that you will be sent to the battlefield before the fleet is formed, but it is really beautiful, and the air battle since World War II has not been fought so beautifully." ”
Liu Huaqing shook his head and said, "I can trust all the people in your base, if I am not sure, I will not send them out." To tell you the truth, I was not prepared for war at first, but only wanted to use the amphibious ship as a hospital to help the wounded, while Pyonglao mainly wanted to deter South Korea. However, they did not want to lead to a rebellion in their own country, so in the end they had to fight hard, and luckily we won. Well, Xiao Qi's amphibious assault ship is good, we adjusted the mission package in a few hours, and turned it into an aircraft carrier for air supremacy, and the US Command in South Korea called us and praised us. ”
Qi Yiming pouted and said, "Let's spend our own money to help them solve the problem of close air support, and they naturally have to say something good." ”
"Hahaha, Xiao Qi, you can see through, but some of our old guys are still complacent. However, the Americans also see our value, and US Secretary of State Shultz will visit China next week, saying that he wants to strengthen relations between the two countries and confront the Soviet Union. Elder Ping made a special public speech at the meeting today, saying that China has no intention of confronting the Soviet Union and hopes to restore and normalize relations with the Soviet Union. ”
"Of course we have to be positive, the strength we showed this time must have scared the Soviet Union a lot, and the Soviet Union will definitely stabilize us before it is clear. Well, and Gorbachev, the head of the map, really has no intention of causing trouble with us. Qi Yiming said casually.
Liu Huaqing nodded, and suddenly said something else: "The Americans saw that we had converted the old aircraft carrier into an amphibious assault ship, and it was used quite well, so they wanted to invite our Hainan battle group to participate in next year's Rim of the Pacific military exercise, uh, and we also wanted us to participate in the Red Flag military exercise." They said that if we all participated, they would be willing to sell us an Essex-class aircraft carrier that had been decommissioned. ”
The old general stretched out eight fingers, "It's only sold for $8 million, should we think about it?" ”
Qi Yiming said helplessly: "You always want to tell me, can I still give you money?" ”
