Chapter 646: Armageddon (18)
When the Flying Leopard fighter appeared in the waters of Diaoyutai and Pengjiayu on Taiwan Island, the maritime battlefield had come to an end, and the Gao Wave and Ariake were sunk in front of the anti-ship missiles of the Flying Leopard fighter plane, and they were sunk without a long struggle, while Kawaguchi's main fleet, the Ise was sunk, and the Myoko was sunk,......,.
Under the cover of the heroic sacrifice of two Haiqing-class hunting submarines, Lin Xiongfei used the last three torpedoes to successfully sink the little devil's Chunchao-class submarine, and the Diaoyutai Island Protection Brigade relied on the assistance of shore-based radar and sonar systems to sink an advanced submarine and an Osumi-class large landing ship through ingenious tactical design, and explored a set of effective methods for the later coastal defense.
In the air battlefield, the PLA Air Force, which intercepted the American and Japanese fighters in Naha, successfully forced the US fighter formation back to the Naha Air Base at a cost of 1.5 to 1 after severely damaging nearly half of the US military's strength.
The little devil F-35 fighters that took off from Yonaguni Island were entangled by the 2nd Air Division, and because they wanted to rescue the little devils to go south to the task force, these dozens of little devil F-35 fighters did not retreat and were very difficult. Taking advantage of the intelligent fire control system, after paying the price of more than 20 fighters, all the dozens of F-35s of the devil were killed.
In this battle, which can be called the largest naval and air decisive battle after World War II, it ended in a complete victory for the People's Liberation Army and the Taiwan Island coalition forces. During the campaign, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and Taiwan dispatched more than 1,000 fighters, including 50 fourth-generation fighters J-20 and J-21, and more than 400 unmanned aerial vehicles. Among them, nearly 300 third-generation fighters were lost, 120 F-16s were lost by the Taiwan Air Force, more than 170 J-10/J-11 and SU-27/SU-30, and more than 20 J-20/J-21, and more than 300 destroyer UAVs were lost.
In terms of the little devils, its 2 squadrons F-15J and 3 squadrons F-2 stationed in the Ryukyus, a total of 120 third-generation fighters and 2 squadrons of 48 F-35 fighters were all wiped out, almost half of the air power was lost, plus the elite warships of the 2nd escort group of the little devils were all wiped out, and the strategic mobile forces at sea were also lost, so that the little devils had to urgently unseal the previously decommissioned and mothballed warships and rebuild the 2nd escort group, but although these mothballed warships have not been in service for too long, In terms of combat strength, it is far from the original 2nd Escort Group.
After this battle, the little devil's naval and air forces have basically lost the ability to take action against foreign countries, especially a large number of experienced pilots and seamen, who do not have more than five to eight years to recuperate, and are basically unlikely to recover.
On the US military stationed in Japan, the three squadrons of F-16C/D fighters dispatched lost 50 planes, the two squadrons of F-22s lost 20 planes, and the two squadrons of F-35s lost 23 planes.
However, due to the total annihilation of the 2nd Escort Group, the US aircraft carriers now do not dare to leave the shore-based air defense missile system protection at the bases stationed in Japan. The Ryukyu base is an important link in the US military's blockade of China's access to the western Pacific, and the aircraft carrier fleet does not dare to approach it, so the US military will transfer the carrier-based aircraft currently on the aircraft carrier in the western Pacific to the Ryukyu base and temporarily use land-based activities, and five squadrons of F-18 Hornets and two squadrons of F-35B will urgently join to temporarily make up for the vacancy in the Ryukyu air defense force.
The U.S. military announced that it would mobilize troops from home and Europe, and eventually deployed 6 F-22 squadrons, 12 F-35 squadrons, more than 400 fourth-generation fighters, and 8 F-15E squadrons and 12 F-16C/D squadrons in the western Pacific to confront the increasingly powerful PLA.
The seven major aircraft carrier groups now gathered in the western Pacific region will maintain five permanent ships stationed in the western Pacific region, including one at the Hawaii Naval Base, one in Guam, and three in Japan.
The People's Liberation Army's fame in World War I frightened the Filipino maids, who had always been somewhat arrogant, and this time they invited the US troops back to Clark Air Force Base and Subic Bay Naval Base without even mentioning the Lend-Lease fee.
In terms of politics, the Japanese government collapsed after the defeat, and Prime Minister Taro Abe, who has always been known for his toughness, was directly angry by the news of the fiasco of the sea and the air self, and entered a vegetative state, but it saved the Japanese people's verbal and written criticism, and the director of the Defense Agency was directly dismissed, as for the chief of staff of the air and the chief of staff of the sea self, it is said that they both "died unexpectedly", and it is rumored that these two senior officers are responsible for the failure, and they used the traditional caesarean section to solve themselves one by one because in history, Never before had the Japanese army been so defeated at the hands of the Chinese.
Lieutenant General Gomez of the U.S. Army was dismissed, and General Ross of the Pacific Command was removed from his post with him.
In the face of the US military's step-by-step pressure and the voice of the people on Taiwan Island, the central authorities have taken advantage of the situation and announced the establishment of the Southeast Military Region, the formation of a new large military region-level defense zone with southern Fujian and Taiwan islands, and the mixing of officers and men of the Taiwan island's land, sea, and air forces with the People's Liberation Army of southern Fujian. All of them have been mixed together with the People's Liberation Army (PLA), making the Southeast Military Region one of the eight military regions with strong troops.
With the 31st Group Army as the main force of the army, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Taiwan Army were combined to form four group armies, namely the 31st Group Army, the 58th Group Army, the 59th Group Army and the 60th Group Army, making the army strength more than 300,000 people.
In terms of the Air Force, the original three main divisions of the 3rd Air Division, the 14th Air Division, and the 29th Air Force Division were transferred to Taiwan Island to make up for the lack of air power after the loss of F-16 fighters on Taiwan Island, plus the original IDF and Mirage fighters, the main force has more than 350 fighters, plus auxiliary support departments such as air defense and base logistics, and the Air Force has a strength of more than 60,000.
The Navy is based on the main destroyers of the Kidd-class and Chenggong-class frigates of the Taiwan Navy, plus the four modern-class destroyers and four 052-class destroyers of the former East China Sea Fleet, as well as the Kilo-class submarine detachment, the 039A submarine detachment and the Chongqing aircraft carrier, to form a powerful Pacific Fleet, plus the two reorganized marine elite brigades, the total strength of the Pacific Fleet is nearly 60,000.
In this way, the newly established Southeast Military Region has more than 420,000 troops under its jurisdiction.
In addition to guarding Taiwan Island and southern Fujian, the Southeast Military Region must also undertake the strategic task of assisting in the defense of the South China Sea and entering the strategic task of breaking through the US-Japan blockade line in the Pacific.
Such a-for-tat move has caused war clouds to gather in East Asia for a while, and there is a situation where it is about to erupt.
