Chapter 0020: Spark (5)
The Yellow Sea, which is regarded as a forbidden place in the inner lake, is always full of pressure on the Yu State because of the opposite shore facing Nanxian, as well as several large-scale military exercises between Lixiong and Nanxian, as well as the continuous military friction between the North and South Xian. At least that's what Zhu Gang, commander of Yu's North Sea Fleet, thinks.
At a meeting of the Central Military Commission (CMC) before Yu's war mobilization, there was a sharp conflict of views between the "hard-liner" side and the "moderate" side represented by Liu Ping, deputy director of the Yuguo General Armament Department, in view of the trend of the military exercise in the Yellow Sea in which the Lixiong aircraft carrier "Walton" flaunted its military might and the tense military confrontation between the north and south of the "Tianan" warship.
Yang Shao and Zhu Gang believe: First, from the perspective of safety concept, "by the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore", which means that I am not allowed to snore next to the bed. Snoring is not allowed, you come to my door to play with guns and swords, can I allow it?
Many foreign invasions have used the Yellow Sea as a gateway to the interior and directly into the heart of Beijing, Tianjin and Tang. For example, the Sino-Japanese War in 1894 took place in the Yellow Sea region, when the general headquarters of the Beiyang Naval Division was located in Weihai, which was on the verge of the Yellow Sea. Thinking about it from another perspective, if we and our neighbors conduct military exercises on the east and west coasts of the country, will the country allow it?
Second, the bottom line of strategic thinking is to prevent problems before they happen and to have a sense of worry; The highest level of strategic thinking is to defuse crises, eliminate them, and prevent them. To prevent a crisis, it is necessary to know the stakes and tell the other party which red lines are untouchable, and once touched, the price will be paid. We are now taking a very tough stance, which is itself an integral part of preventive diplomacy. Li Xiongguo should know that it is a big taboo to be close to Yu State like this.
Third, from a geostrategic point of view, the Yellow Sea region is our gateway to Gyeonggi and the choke point to the heart of Beijing, Tianjin and Tangzhou. Their exercise area is only 500 kilometers away from Beijing, and at such a close distance, any country conducting exercises in this area will feel the pressure on our security. The USS Walton aircraft carrier has been dispatched to the Yellow Sea region, and its combat radius has reached 600 km, and if its carrier-based aircraft can reach more than 1,000 km, it can cover most of North China and the Liaodong Peninsula, and directly threaten the security of our heartland and the Bohai Rim Economic Circle. Aircraft carriers have a strong reconnaissance and early warning capability and a strong combat capability. Judging by the combat capabilities of the USS Walton, the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier are F/A-18E / F Super Hornet fighters with a combat radius of 1065 km. In addition, it has the EA-6B "Prowler" electronic warfare aircraft with electronic pods, which are designed to jam and destroy the opponent's land-based, carrier-based, and airborne command and control communication systems, as well as early warning, surveillance, and fire control radars, which are very powerful.
In addition, the USS Walton carries the E-2C "Hawkeye" early warning aircraft, which can simultaneously track 2,000 targets and intercept 40 of them. The carrier's radar can detect aircraft up to 270 km* and up to 556 km. The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier also have the S-3B "Corsair" anti-submarine aircraft, which carries anti-submarine deep-water * and cluster *, and also carries 60 sonar floating, which has strong anti-submarine capabilities. Judging from the armament of aircraft carriers, it has a strong reconnaissance and early warning capability and a very strong strike capability. Based on the current situation, we cannot ignore this so-called "military exercise" of the country. We want to see this exercise as part of a series of linkages between them. It is a point of association to cooperate with the military actions of the ball country. Therefore, we must draw a red line for the country of Lixiong, and then sink it when we enter the Yellow Sea!
However, the "moderates" led by Liu Ping, deputy director of the General Armament Department, have always opposed the spearhead pointing at Lixiongguo. They have their own views on such a tense situation: The attitude that Yu should adopt towards the joint military exercises of Lixiong and Nanxian in the Yellow Sea is to calmly observe, take it seriously, strengthen communication, clarify demands, and avoid being drawn into the "whirlpool" of the Yellow Sea.
The joint military exercises of Iwoongguo and Namxian are commonplace, but they have previously been conducted in the eastern waters of the Korean Peninsula, far from the Yellow Sea. And this time, because the "Cheonan" incident occurred on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, Lee Woong Guo had an excuse to enter the west coast. The direct cause of the military exercise between Lixiongguo and Nanxian was the "Tianan" incident in Nanbeixian, which was the most powerful military sanction measure taken by the axis of Lixiongguo, Nanxian, and Qiuguo against Beixian after the "Tianan" incident.
At a time when the situation on the Korean Peninsula has entered the stage of diplomatic games, if the aircraft carrier of Iwoong enters the Yellow Sea, it will indicate that Iwoong and Nam Xian will further escalate the tension on the Korean Peninsula. The Hexagonal Authority of Lixiong sent a clear message to Beixian, that is, Lixiongguo would assist in the defense of Nanxian if necessary. Therefore, the Lixiong military's plan to send nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to the Yellow Sea between Yu and the Korean Peninsula is mainly to show strength and intend to deter Beixian. Therefore, we do not need to see this exercise as directly aimed at the Yu State. After all, the main spearhead is Beixian, why should the main spearhead of Lixiong and Beixian be taken to the Yuguo people themselves?
Due to the choice of the location of the exercise, it is necessary for us to communicate with Lixiong in a timely manner, put forward Yu's worries and concerns about this exercise, and let Lixiong and Nanxian people understand the feelings of Yu people. However, it is too high to estimate that the Lixiong State may be inappropriate to take advantage of this joint exercise between Nanxian and Lixiong to carry out military intimidation against the Yu State. If Li Xiongguo really wanted to have a plot against Yu State, wouldn't it be easier to use his air force in Northeast Asia?
With regard to such a military presence as Lixiong as an important military presence in the East Asian region, we should be cautious, consider the overall situation, look at this matter cautiously and rationally, and avoid being dragged into the "whirlpool" of the Yellow Sea by other countries.
As for the views of the "moderates", the core team of the military does not agree. The strategists of Yu have clearly realized that Yu is already in the "whirlpool". Moreover, it was initiated by the Lixiong State, and the Qiu Kingdom and Nanxian, Barbarian and Mona jointly encircled and suppressed the military strategy of the Yu State.
At a time when the situation in the East China Sea is on the verge of breaking out. At six o'clock in the morning, Yanping Island, which is close to the side of Beixian on the west coast of Nanxian, was attacked by shore-based artillery fire from Beixian. This is another firepower blow since Nanxian was attacked by Beixian artillery fire last year. At the moment when the country of the ball and the country of Yu are about to meet each other, any shot at this node will trigger a fierce conflict that cannot be restrained.
Sure enough, Nanxian had almost no waiting, and the "5029 War Plan" was immediately launched, and more than 200 K9 self-propelled guns carried out a fierce and intensive counterattack. Suddenly, the military targets within 40 kilometers of Beixian were devastated. Don't underestimate Nanxian's K9 self-propelled gun, which can fire all NATO standard 155mm ammunition, including anti-personnel explosive shells, rocket extended-range bombs, submunitions, smoke bombs, flare shells and chemical bombs. Nanxian is the second country in the world and the first in Asia to be equipped with a 52-caliber 155-mm self-propelled gun. The maximum firing range of the gun can reach 40 kilometers, ranking first in Asia among the same types of artillery, so it is named "the first artillery in Asia". In addition, the vehicle is equipped with an automatic loading system and a calculation and aiming system of on-board fire control equipment, which has a strong instantaneous fire coverage ability and precision strike ability, and is regarded as an important weapon that overwhelms the Beixian artillery.
Is Beixian a lamb to the slaughter? The 5,200 240-mm rocket launchers can fire 22 rockets with a range of 60 kilometers* at a time, and within 15 minutes after the bombardment of Nanxian, 2,000 of which covered all the military bases in Nanxian with a rapid-fire time of 10 seconds.
According to Yuguo's satellite observations, almost all the Nanxian military bases, including the Lixiong military base in Nanxian, have been paralyzed. In addition to hangars and * and command posts hidden deep in caves. Nanxian's fighters, tanks, and warships all lost more than 70 percent. And Seoul, the capital of Namxian, is also on fire.
That's not all, the 16 "Daepodong-1"* of Beixian were simultaneously roaring towards the surface of the "Walton" aircraft carrier battle group of the Lixiong Kingdom, which was about to slowly sail into the Yellow Sea. Eight "Taepodong-2" strategic* missiles were also fired at the fleet of the ball nation at sea.
Both military strategists and tactical commanders make war and battle plans. However, the shape of war is unpredictable and uncontrollable, and the intensity and direction of battle are also unpredictable and uncontrollable. The first high-intensity war between the north and the south was not expected by the Lixiong Kingdom. Before the layout was completed, he was first hit by an opponent he had not expected, and suddenly the Lixiong aircraft carrier fleet was in a hurry.
And Yu Guo was not in a hurry. Because this war is precisely the first step in the military liberation strategy planned by Yu State, codenamed "Wukong".
Is the Yellow Sea accessible to anyone who wants to get in?!
