Chapter 769: Prologue

Seeing that the CIA and the U.S. military are bent on disrupting China's African strategy in Africa, setting off one war after another, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) stationed in Tanzania has also seen a move. As the importance of African strategy becomes more and more prominent, the General Staff Department has also continuously strengthened its military deployment in Africa, and has sent a escort fleet in the Gulf of Aden consisting of two 052C nuclear-powered destroyers, two 081-class large landing ships, and four 041-class nuclear-powered submarines to quietly set off, and they will use the ports leased by the Seychelles Liberation Army as their home port to carry out tasks in the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, and other sea areas.

However, if the ground war on the Tanzanian side is tight, more than 30 helicopter gunships on two large 081-class landing ships will be able to enter the battle.

Not only that, in view of the strange situation in Africa, the diplomatic department reached an agreement with the Yemeni side after arduous negotiation work and persuaded the Yemeni side to agree to the request of the PLA Air Force to refuel through Sokosala Island and transit, so that the Air Force dispatched a J-10C main regiment and Air Police-200 early warning planes to Pakistan first, and then refueled via Sokosala Island before moving to Tanzania.

The stationing of the J-10 Flying Regiment of the Air Force has changed the dilemma of the lack of air support for the 86 th Mechanized Infantry Brigade in Tanzania; after all, even if the 86 Mechanized Infantry Brigade strengthens two destroyer special aviation battalions, it will only strengthen its ability to attack on the ground and make up for the shortcomings of weak armored forces, but it does not have a reliable force to seize air supremacy in the air.

Judging from the information obtained by the General Staff Headquarters, the US military is not ready for a large-scale war in the short term, and there is only one infantry brigade close to Tanzania at present, and the air force has not yet moved; according to the US military's strategy of always fighting with the air force first, the US military will certainly not dispatch ground troops on a large scale without the intervention of the air force.

And the two aircraft carrier groups in the Persian Gulf, under the current situation of such tense war in Persia, are unlikely to be drawn out and thrown into Africa for a big fight.

Therefore, the General Staff believes that as long as the Air Force is in place and forms an air-ground coordination with the 86 th Infantry Brigade, it is unlikely that the US Infantry Brigade in Kenya will carry out large-scale military operations, and in this way, the PLA will still have a slight advantage in the military balance of the entire East Africa.

Sure enough, when the PLA Air Force entered Tanzania ahead of schedule, in the face of this sudden change, it immediately interrupted General Reilly's new military deployment, and in the face of the superior PLA and the US military, the US military had no choice but to postpone the operational plan of the Rwandan and Ugandan troops, because even if the US air force was not deployed in place, even if the opportunity was seized, the US ground forces would not dare to risk not having air supremacy to fight the PLA.

This is too risky, but in this way, the US military is also forced to speed up the pace of troop deployment, they again dispatched an F-35 squadron from Europe to the Saudi air base in the Persian Gulf day and night, and after the F-35 squadron is in place, and then a squadron of F-15E/F fighters from the Saudi base to Kenya, so that two weeks have passed.

In the increasingly tense atmosphere, after a fierce game in China, China Mobile, which has obtained the right to build the African S-WiNet network, has taken advantage of this opportunity to take the lead in quietly building a 5G network covering the whole territory in Tanzania, because the original communication foundation in Tanzania is too poor, China's large-scale construction of Tanzania and the development of resources for communication needs can not be met at all, and more importantly, due to the lack of a national reliable network, the newly built Tanzania land-based radar early warning network can not be connected. This made the military very dissatisfied.

Because since Duke was born into the military industry, a series of weapons developed have basically relied heavily on the cyber environment.

It can be said that without network support, the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the newly reorganized First Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the Second Mechanized Infantry Brigade of Tanzania will be greatly discounted, and it will not be possible to give full play to the mode of concentrated firepower for intelligent coordinated operations.

Therefore, when S-WiNet passed the national standard in China, the unexpected first phase of the project was placed on the Tanzania national wireless network project, which was initially designed with a user capacity of 5 million users of the 5G network, which was quickly built with the cooperation of China Mobile and SAL. SAL has used special planes and helicopters to transport various equipment throughout the whole process at any cost, so the construction period is particularly short, and the construction of this large network has been completed in more than a month, which is a god-fast construction speed. Of course, in addition to the base stations in the densely populated eastern region of Tanzania are linked by optical fibers and have the design capacity of 100 trillion data transmission services for individual users, in the western remote areas are mainly interconnected between base stations, and the data transmission services for individual users are temporarily limited to less than 1 trillion to save bandwidth to give priority to supporting voice communication services and demand support for the military.

In order to better support the card in the DRC. For the needs of armed operations and communications in Kurtu, the Chinese side has also deliberately adopted several high-power base stations for coverage in the construction of the western border area of Tanzania. Six provinces of the Congo, the Katanga region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Kivu region under Kurtu's control and influence are covered.

In this way, both the Tanzanian side and the eastern part of the DRC will be able to use this network, allowing the card. The connection between Kurtu and Tanzania and the PLA can be more convenient and secure, due to the consideration of the dual-use characteristics, SAL has specially adopted different encrypted communication methods for the communication of military users and ordinary users on this network to ensure security. The 3G network and wireless telegraph communications originally used by the Kurtu troops are ten times more secure and anti-jamming and reliable.

In this way, the network of mobile construction can be safely connected to the military's terminals, and after completion, the Tanzanian military's first mechanized infantry brigade and the second mechanized infantry brigade and the 86 mechanized infantry brigade of the People's Liberation Army will be completely integrated into a whole, and the three mechanized infantry brigades will have the same main heavy firepower system, and they can give full play to the power of joint operations under the theater joint combat tactical system. Let the combat power of the Tanzanian military grow by leaps and bounds, and quietly complete a qualitative change.

But for this quiet change in the ground forces of Tanzania and the PLA, Nick . Zieland and James. Lieutenant General Reilly didn't notice at all that their attention was now focused on the PLA's new J-10C main flight regiment, and the current battle plan also revolved around how to solve the PLA's J-10C flight regiment first.

According to the internal assessment of the US military, the F-15E / F fighters cannot occupy an advantage in the face of the J-10C one-on-one, and the gap will be even greater after the formation of a cluster, the PLA does not know what kind of technology is adopted, and it is sharper than the existing fire control radar of the US military in terms of over-the-horizon strikes, and their group fighting tactics are simply unguardable, and after entering the state of engagement, the PLA fighters of a flying regiment can launch dozens or hundreds of medium-range bombs in an instant.

Now the U.S. military has almost no solution to this tactic, and can only use the advantages of stealth fighters to approach China's third-generation aircraft with the advantage of a small radar launch surface as much as possible in order to get the opportunity to strike first, so General Reilly in the new combat plan, no longer simply count on the F-15E/F squadron, a squadron of F-15E/F in the face of the PLA a flying regiment of J-10C is obviously a little weak, so in General Reilly's new combat plan, in addition to preparing to dispatch this F-15E// In addition to the F squadron, an F-35 squadron was also required to be dispatched directly from the Saudi air base to coordinate the operation, and the F-35 fighters could be deployed with the F-15E/F from the Kenyan air base after flying over Ethiopia and entering the skies over Kenya for refueling.

An F-35 squadron and an F-15E/F squadron against a PLA J-10C flying regiment would be sufficient to form an overwhelming advantage, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Although the PLA's cluster over-the-horizon strike force is strong, the F-35 stealth fighter is not a vegetarian, and with its excellent stealth characteristics and super mobility, the PLA's over-the-horizon strike hit rate can be greatly reduced.

After a series of redeployments, the U.S. military was ready again. When the reorganization of Kurtu was successful and he was preparing to counterattack South Kivu Province, the long-awaited Rwandan and Ugandan troops suddenly appeared in South Kivu Province in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and directly carried the Ka Ka that had just broken through to South Kivu Province. The 1st Brigade of Kurtu, a major battle began.
