Chapter 656: Storm in the South China Sea (1)
In the face of the strong attack of the Chinese, the little devil regretted not accepting the beautiful proposal of shelving the dispute and jointly developing. The little devils have only repeatedly issued strong protests and the strongest protests, but after the 2nd Escort Group was completely annihilated, the fleet of the little devils did not dare to approach the baseline of China's territorial waters 300 nautical miles at all, so as not to be "mistakenly injured" by the PLA.
At first, the diplomatic department responded that "this is the economic development activities of our own territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, and outsiders have no right to interfere", but later said too much, and simply did not react.
Now Diaoyutai is firmly controlled by the PLA, the establishment of a complete sea and air defense system, later also prepared to add a 10,000-ton dock and air base here, the Lotus base according to the S-1 and S-2 small power reactor transformation of the successful seawater desalination and power generation integrated multi-functional system, so that Diaoyutai in one fell swoop to solve the problem of fresh water supply and power supply, for the construction and improvement of the base to provide important infrastructure.
In terms of military preparations, the Diaoyutai Islands Island Protection Brigade was expanded to a powerful escort detachment in advance, with 2 powerful 052D-class nuclear-powered destroyers as the core, plus 6 054C frigates, 4 039 improved nuclear-powered submarines and a number of 022-class missile boats, this force can be regarded as a powerful detachment even in the Pacific Fleet.
Lin Xiongfei was promoted to the captain of a 052D destroyer as he wished, although the position of captain of the Diaoyutai Island Protection Brigade is gone, but now it has been upgraded to the Diaoyutai Naval Base, which is really a deputy military institution, under the jurisdiction of the Diaoyutai Driving Detachment, a full division of the combat unit, can act as the captain of the two major destroyers inside, has been a big step forward, and now he is the captain of the capital ship, Lin Xiongfei, who performed well in the Diaoyutai Island Protection War, now has a bright future.
In the future, the air force airfield to be established on the small islands north and south of Diaoyutai will be stationed with two main air force regiments and more than 60 main fighters on standby to ensure the safety of the East China Sea oil fields together with the Diaoyutai Escort Brigade; this force is sufficient to protect the 200-nautical-mile radius of Diaoyutai without a large-scale invasion by the United States and Japan, and with the complete radar detection, sonar detection, and command and guidance system on the island.
With this strength as a guarantee, the construction of offshore oil fields in the East China Sea was in full swing from the beginning, and it was fully launched amid the continuous protests of the little devils.
In the South China Sea, however, the PLA does not have such an advantage, and the air force is beyond its reach, and observers around the world are speculating about why China dares to invest such a huge amount of money in development, and what it relies on to ensure the safety of this proposed huge offshore oil field under strong military pressure from the South China Sea countries and the two US aircraft carrier squadrons.
Trillions of dollars of project investment are rare in the history of the world, and if there is not enough strength to back it up, once this investment is lost, even an economic behemoth like China will be broken.
Without the support of air power, will the PLA's South China Sea Fleet and Pacific Fleet be able to take on this heavy responsibility?
In the face of this question, as the drilling team of the Nanhai Petroleum Company Limited went to the South China Sea to carry out development tasks, the diplomatic spokesman reiterated that the Nansha Islands have been China's undoubted territory since ancient times, and any occupation of the Nansha Islands is illegal and invalid, and hopes that the relevant parties will take immediate action to stop the encroachment on China's territory, otherwise they will face extremely serious consequences. As for China's economic development activities in its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, no other party has the right to comment.
The national defense spokesman echoed that the PLA has the ability to cope with any challenge, the endurance of the Chinese people is limited, and the PLA will defend the territorial integrity of the motherland to the death. The exploration and exploitation work of domestic oil companies in the Nansha Islands will be protected by the PLA in accordance with the law, and any country that provokes and interferes with the normal opening of the exclusive economic zone of the baseline of the territorial sea will be violently retaliated against and retaliated by the PLA.
However, the South China Sea monkeys and Filipino maids, who are accustomed to turning a deaf ear to China's diplomatic rhetoric, have turned a blind eye to China's remarks, and have sent warships to brazenly interfere in the drilling work of expelling China's South China Sea oil company, believing that two aircraft carrier formations from Laos and the United States are cruising in the South China Sea.
"If you don't kill, it's not enough to stand up!" After the news came back, the No. 1 chief slapped the table and said angrily, "Since you can't listen to the reason, then let the fist go to the root of their reasoning." ”
The general secretary slapped the table, and the long-planned large-scale maritime military exercise "Determination-2019" by the Military Commission surfaced.
"Vice Chairman Liu, this exercise is based on the Pacific Fleet's Chongqing and South China Sea Fleet's Tianjin aircraft carrier formations, with 12 large destroyers, 8 frigates, and 8 submarines as the main force, forming a powerful maritime attack group. It will serve as a deterrent to the countries of the South China Sea and the US aircraft carrier fleet. ”
"At present, it is not difficult for the Philippines to occupy Thitu Island, Feixin Island and other islands, they only have dozens of soldiers, their military strength is weak, and the support force of the navy and air force is also very effective, and the navy can easily occupy it;
However, the Vietnamese occupy Spratly Island, which currently has about two battalions, which are estimated to be about 600 according to Shadow Aerial Reconnaissance Intelligence, with well-equipped fortifications and light and heavy weapons, and they have also built radio transmission towers, radar systems, air stations, and dock facilities that can dock 5,000 tons on the island. In addition, the expansion of an 800-meter-long concrete runway is fully capable of taking off and landing various types of Soviet-style fighters existing in the Vietnamese army.
Although there are no Vietnamese fighters stationed on Spratly Island, since Spratly Island is only more than 400 kilometers away from the Cam Ranh Bay base in Vietnam, their Soviet-style fighters can arrive in half an hour. According to the intelligence collected by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Vietnamese army now has more than 100 relatively new Soviet-style third-generation fighters, including more than 60 Su-35 fighters, about 40 Su-30MKV/Su-30MKV2, and about 12 Su-27SK.
In addition, the Vietnamese Navy has purchased 6 Kilo-class submarines, which also have a certain attack power on our fleet. Therefore, it will not only be more troublesome to recover Spratly Island, but it will also be more difficult to defend after the exercise in the future. ”
Of course, Vice Chairman Liu knows that when the two major aircraft carrier fleets of our army are cruising Nansha, neither the Filipino maids nor the Yue Monkey dare to move lightly, even if the Yue Monkey has more than 100 third-generation fighters, Vice Chairman Liu knows that they will not all be pressed in the Nansha generation, and most of the main forces should be placed on the northern front to guard against the PLA, and it would be good to have about 20 planes on the Nansha side.
This strength is completely insufficient in front of more than 100 J-10 Flying Sharks in the two aircraft carrier formations. Therefore, the air threat of seizing the island is not too great, but the danger on the seabed and the island cannot be underestimated, and if the 600 Vietnamese troops are prepared, it is really very difficult to recover Spratly Island relatively completely.
If we can recover it relatively completely, it can immediately be converted into our forward base, where the main fighter squadron of Shanghai Airlines will be placed, and a solid naval and air defense line in Nansha will be formed with Taiping Island, Thitu Island, Xiyue Island, Feixin Island, and so on, so that we can maintain peace and stability for a long time.
