2023 Bombing Singapore
The intellects praised it, and Steindy immediately ordered the British troops stationed throughout Malaya to withdraw to Singapore, and soon 50,000 British troops were concentrated in Singapore.
At 1 a.m. on 25 November, Lin Yuan ordered the Amphibious 1st, 2nd and 3rd Amphibious Divisions of the Amphibious Combat Army to enter the Kingdom of Johor, and at 3 a.m. on 25 November, the three divisions entered Johor and occupied the entire territory of Johor at 6 a.m., encountering no resistance in the process.
Zhang Chuang reported to Lin Yuan: "Our army has fully occupied Johor and has now surrounded Singapore, and has not encountered resistance in the process of occupying Johor. ”
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are the British troops in Johor?" ”
Zhang Chuang replied: "I don't know, I heard from the locals, they all withdrew." ”
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "You first surround Singapore, don't attack." Lin Yuan put down the phone, called an attendant, and said, "Invite Han Bing to my office." ”
Han Bing has made great contributions in Indonesia, and at this time he has been transferred to the General Intelligence Bureau to hold an important position, and it was not long before Han Bing came to Lin Yuan's office, Lin Yuan invited him to sit down, and asked: "Comrade Han Bing, you should have seen the British troops stationed in Singapore and Johor, right?" ”
Han Bing nodded and said, "Yes, I'm familiar with them. ”
Lin Yuan asked, "Then what do you think of this British army?" ”
Han Bing said: "It's a strong team! ”
Lin Yuan had seen the fragility of the British troops stationed in Sarawak and Sabah, and naturally thought that the British troops stationed in Singapore and Johor were the same, and he was taken aback when he heard Han Bing say that they were a strong army, and hurriedly asked, "What's so special about them?" Dare to be a strong force. ”
Han Bing said: "The military discipline is strict, the morale is high, and the training is meticulous, which is the same as our army!" If we don't use advanced weapons, but only light weapons, we will not know the outcome of the battle. ”
Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "What about Singapore's defense capability?" ”
Han Bing said: "Singapore's defense capability is not to be said, it is very strong!" I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to fight without expending a large number of troops. ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I'm done asking my question, if you don't have anything to do, you can go back first." ”
Han Bing said goodbye to Lin Yuan and turned to go out, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If the British army stationed in Singapore is really as strong as Han Bing said, we will definitely suffer heavy losses if we force an attack, I think it is better to surround but not fight, so as to exhaust the enemy army." Moreover, Singapore has a small area and underdeveloped agriculture, and the gathering of a large number of British troops will inevitably cause a shortage of food, although the British army has hoarded a large amount of food, but their food will be exhausted sooner or later! ”
Lin Yuan made up his mind, and immediately ordered the amphibious operation to control the passage into Singapore from the road, and ordered the Sanya fleet to control the port of Singapore, and the sails were not allowed to enter the sea! Ordered the engineering regiment directly under the Air Force to build a field airfield in the town closest to Singapore in Johor, so that both H-1 and Air You-1 could take off and land.
Lin Yuan also ordered the 1st Air Division and the 4th Air Division to coordinate their operations and bombard the British warships in Singapore Harbor.
The British fleet in Singapore Harbor had two dreadnoughts, two cruisers and eight destroyers, and their combat capability was extremely formidable, but in the face of China's missile destroyers, they were just a group of targets.
Li Yiguang, commander of the 1st Air Division, and Zhao Lei, commander of the 4th Air Division, began to plan a bombing operation after receiving Lin Yuan's order, and the two decided to dispatch 30 bombs on 30 November, each carrying 20 500-kilogram aerial bombs, to bomb the British Royal Navy fleet, dispatch 30 air superiority 1 escorts, and dispatch 2 Jian-25s to clear the British radar.
At 7 o'clock in the morning of November 30, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the sky was cloudless, at Wan'an Tan Airport, two J-25 took off first, carrying anti-radiation missiles to Singapore, and at 7:25, Zhao Lei detected the British radar signal, and immediately launched anti-radiation missiles, destroying the British radar.
At 7:45, Li Yiguang, commander of the 1st Air Division, piloted the 001 Boom 1 to take off, followed by Luo Wen, the captain of the 36th Flight Group, who piloted an Air Superiority 1 to roar into the air, followed by another Bomb 1 and an Air Superiority 1 to take off, two Bomb 1 flew at an altitude of 7,000 meters, two Air Superiority 1 maintained an altitude of 5,000 meters, one in front of the Bomb 1 double plane formation, and one in the rear of the Bang 1 Twin Plane formation, formed a bombing escort formation, and flew towards Singapore Harbor.
Wan'an Tan Airport has only two runways, but only one can be used at a time, because if the fighter in the air has a sudden mechanical failure, it can make an emergency landing on the other runway. In the case of limited runways, it is impossible for fighters to act together in groups, and if they are formed into groups, the planes in front of them need to hover in the air and wait, which will consume a lot of fuel, but it is more efficient to form groups one by one.
Li Yiguang and Luo Wen led the fighter plane to fly to Singapore Harbor, Zhao Lei piloted the fighter plane to monitor the battlefield in the sky, at 8:25 the four-plane formation approached Singapore Harbor, Rowan drove the fighter plane from the front side of the H-1 two-plane formation to the rear, to make way for the H-1, the bombardier on the H-1 aimed at the warship in the port, used the radar to measure the distance, the fire control system calculated the bomb drop point according to the ballistic performance of the aerial bomb, the bombardier pressed the bomb dropping button, and a string of aerial bombs fell from the sky and hit the battleship in the port.
A bomb fell into the water and exploded, and the huge shock wave pushed the battleship violently; A battleship hit the stern mast directly, and the huge kinetic energy of the fall actually caused the bomb to penetrate the mast and explode near the main deck level, and the entire mast was blown in half......
Li Yiguang returned after dropping the bomb, and the bombing group behind continued to bomb, and the air superiority hovered around the J-25. When the fourth group was bombing, Zhao Lei suddenly found that there were four more unfamiliar targets on the radar screen, and used the friend or foe identification system to ask, none of the four unfamiliar targets sent friendly identification codes, and Zhao Lei immediately made a judgment that these four targets were enemy targets!
Zhao Lei immediately issued an order to Luo Wen: "If you find an enemy target in the east, immediately go forward to conduct an interception operation!" ”
Rowan received the order and immediately led an air superior to form a two-plane formation to fly towards the enemy target, Rowan soon found four black spots in the sky over the white clouds due east, that is the enemy plane, Rowan laughed secretly in his heart: "I can find these four enemy planes all because the British pilots are inexperienced!" They dared to fly above the clouds, with white clouds as a background, and the plane was very conspicuous! ”
Rowan piloted the plane to approach the enemy plane, and suddenly found that a bright yellow light flashed on the opposite plane, which was very different from the fire of the cannon.
