Chapter 637: Armageddon (9)

At the same time, Kawaguchi looked at the dynamic information of the main ships of the Taiwan Navy transmitted back from the combat system, and now he did not know that the commander who commanded the main operations of the Taiwan Navy was his old classmate, but he felt very familiar with the opponent's decent defensive combat formation, just like the instructor who gave him many years ago when he was studying naval tactics.

If the strength of the two sides is equal, the formation of the Taiwan Navy is flawless, and Kawaguchi will definitely wait until there is air firepower support before launching an attack, but now, in addition to having stronger surface ships, Kawaguchi also has an underwater force composed of 6 advanced submarines under his command, and the anti-ship capability of the underwater plus surface ships itself is much higher than that of the opponent, and he also holds a secret trump card in his hand, so for the current opponent of the Taiwan Navy, Kawaguchi does not feel much pressure.

It stands to reason that it is difficult to lose to an opponent in this situation, and Kawaguchi should be very relaxed, but Kawaguchi does not feel this way at all, but has an extremely ominous worry in his heart.

The information from the air force just now added to Kawaguchi's sense of ominousness, as if there was an unfathomable trap waiting for him in front of him. The first round of fighting between the two squadrons of F-35 fighters that took off from Yonaguni Island and the Taiwan Air Force was over, and the F-35 fighters came home victorious, but surprisingly the results were not one-sided as planned, although the 5::1 battle loss ratio was already very high.

This result made the little devil plan in advance, the first round of air battles to destroy the main force of the Taiwan Air Force in one fell swoop, the plan to fail, and now the Taiwan Air Force still has a multi-wing F-16 main fighter, and it seems that it has not lost the courage and combat power to fight with the F-35 fighter.

The occurrence of this unexpected situation directly led to Kawaguchi's basic need to count on these two F-35 squadrons to provide him with air support during the naval battle, if there was only no air support Kawaguchi was not afraid, the strength in his hands was enough to destroy the main force of the Taiwan Navy. However, the occurrence of this unexpected situation shows that the strength of the Taiwan military is not as vulnerable as everyone predicted in advance.

The sudden increase in the capability of the Taiwan Air Force is undoubtedly supported by the People's Liberation Army from the mainland, and judging from the bulletin on the air situation reported by the air force, Kawaguchi can see that at least in terms of radar, the Taiwan Air Force has received the help of the PLA, otherwise with Taiwan's own radar strength, it would not have been possible to detect the F-35 fighters flying over the sea so early.

The question now is how much secret support the Taiwan side has received from the PLA.

As a professional soldier, Kawaguchi did not scoff at the equipment of the People's Liberation Army like ordinary Japanese people, but took it very seriously. This is because, according to the intelligence intercepted by its intelligence headquarters in recent years, the mainland PLA has made rapid progress in military equipment in recent years, and the intelligence shared by the CIA has also confirmed that breakthroughs have been made in various key military technologies equipped with the main stations of the PLA's navy, army, and air force.

Not long ago, an extremely unexpected war between India and Pakistan showed that in the air and on land, the main battle equipment of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) can already suppress the main equipment from Russia. This astonishing change is not felt by the average Japanese people, it is just the pain of other people's families, and the Pakistani army may have won this war by luck, anyway, in the mainstream media of the Japanese invaders, most people are indifferent to the truth of the facts.

However, for a professional soldier like Kawaguchi, he has obtained more real information to judge that behind this war is actually a concentrated test of the PLA's main ground and air combat equipment, which proves that the PLA has taken an extremely crucial step in catching up with the world's advanced level, surpassing the first-class level of Russian-made weapons and European weapons.

Once this astonishing fact is concluded, Kawaguchi's strategic understanding of the Self-Defense Forces headquarters as a first strike is deepened, and choosing to severely weaken the strength of the PLA at this time can buy Japan more time to develop its own military strength, continue to gain military superiority in East Asia with the US military, and in particular, it can also disrupt the opponent's strategic deployment when Taiwan returns to the island.

Otherwise, the joint efforts of the two sides of the strait will increase their strength by at least 3 percent, and the People's Liberation Army, which lacks the greatest containment, will be even more free to go all out to manage the East China Sea and the South China Sea, so that the safety of Japan's maritime lifeline will not be guaranteed at all.

Kawaguchi was able to be entrusted with the important task of becoming one of the few high-ranking generals in the sea, obviously not only because of his military skills, but also because he was very strategically discerning. Therefore, I thought that at this moment, it would not be strange if the Taiwan military received radar and missile support from the mainland PLA, and the existence of these mysterious weapons of the PLA would probably cause great variables in the combat plan jointly formulated by the Defense Agency's headquarters and the US military.

The whole battle may no longer develop as planned, and the first battle over Taiwan Island is a signal, right? Kawaguchi stared at the intelligence data on the balance of forces in the four sides of the combat system, and thought worriedly. However, the war has reached the current situation, and this kind of morale-damaging discouragement Kawaguchi would certainly rather rot in his stomach.

He can only do his best to complete the set combat mission he has undertaken as soon as possible, and he can think about the entire campaign, but he can't make any decisions for the Defense Agency's Director's Department and the US Joint Command Center, and even the feeling that he didn't feel at all just now can't be spoken.

Because from the current situation, the Japanese army still occupies the strategic advantage of the entire battlefield, most of the advance arrangements have basically been put in place, and the southbound task force has already been put in place, so that the mainland navy and the Taiwan navy will not be able to join forces for at least five hours, giving Kawaguchi an excellent opportunity to break through.

The Air Force from Naha intercepted the main force of the PLA Air Force, and the F-35 fighters from Yonaguni Island also left the Taiwan Air Force to take care of itself, so that Kawaguchi's southbound task force is now completely free from the powerful threat from the air.

Thinking of this, Kawaguchi tried his best to eliminate the negative emotions in his heart, and focused his mind on how to defeat the current main fleet of the Taiwan Navy, with this mixed fleet of destroyers that can be regarded as one of the best in the whole of Asia, Kawaguchi felt that victory alone was not enough, he needed to defeat his opponent at the least cost, in order to be worthy of Haizi's attention and trust in him.

Therefore, Kawaguchi quickly immersed himself in deliberating and formulating a tactical plan for the Taiwan Navy in advance, and although the strength was far superior to that of the opponent, the four Kidd ships with strong firepower formed a complete defensive formation, relying on the shore-based Hsiungfeng anti-ship missile system and the shore-based anti-submarine force, and it was also a very arduous task to destroy the opponent without paying much price.

The opponent's textbook classic defense method, the person who studied it is not a day or two, the advantages and disadvantages are studied very thoroughly, the opponent is obviously very clear about these advantages and disadvantages, and there must be some deployment to make up for it, Kawaguchi has studied it for a long time, and he still feels that he is not very sure of defeating the opponent on the basis of the existing tactical plan, unless he ......

Kawaguchi suddenly thought of that trump card, once the Taiwan Navy was shot, it would obviously be difficult to parry, but once it was used, and then against the modern ships of the People's Liberation Army and the 052C/D, which was equipped with the Chinese Aegis, it would be difficult to achieve unexpected results.
