Chapter 315: The Battle Begins

Wu Jianming piloted the X20 when flying in the sky, only the computer-aided mode was enabled in order to get more familiar with how to fly with the assistance of the on-board computer system, after all, to fly a cutting-edge fighter that has not been touched at all, but the fighter's avionics system, radar system and flight control system do not understand, basically it is to joke with the plane and their own lives, not to mention that the X20 is also equipped with an intelligent assistance system.

So on the way to Hainan Island, Wu Jianming controlled the X20 to fly up and down, moving left and right, which was very tossing. It is precisely because of this that Wu Jianming, who has rich flying experience, was at least able to exert the combat effectiveness of the X20 with more than eight floors after landing on the runway of a certain naval aviation base on Hainan Island when he was flying the X20.

After parking the plane, the first thing Wu Jianming did after leaving the X20 was to go directly to the commander of the base, preparing to contact the air commander of the Red Flag Force in this area, and the Red Flag Force, that is, the special force that Wu Jianming invited Xia Yu to join had no actual station.

In this battle, the state does not aim to occupy YN territory, so the officers and men of the army only need to guard the border line and prevent the YN government from desperately raiding our territory, and the only ones who are really responsible for the strike mission are the navy and air force, as well as a small group of ground special operations forces responsible for intelligence gathering and destruction of ground facilities. It is precisely because of this that the special operations units with the red flag as the code name instead of the number also have the right to join this combat mission, without considering the problem of command confusion caused by the differences in various branches of the military, because the red flag is directly under the orders of the General Staff Headquarters, and does not need the permission of the subordinate command department, so for Xia Yu and other people in the special operations unit, this is a great convenience.

"First of all. It is to destroy the YN's coastal air defense weapons, we have already collected the information, and now we can wait for the order, and we can start attacking immediately. In a white office, Dong Dawei, the flight commander of the Red Flag Special Force in charge of air missions in the South China Sea, pointed to the map on the table, looked at Wu Jianming and said, "Strategically." The first step is to defeat YN's coastal air defense, including YN's naval ships and shore-based air defense firepower, to seize air superiority, this because the intelligence has followed, so there should be no problem, YN's narrow land area If they launch an offensive from east to west, they have almost no strategic depth, and we can easily cut off YN. ”

Speaking of this, Dong Dawei moved his finger to Beihai and Fangchenggang and continued: "The 2nd Air Division will depart from here. Crossing the strait to destroy YN's anti-aircraft fire in the northeast direction is their task, while the Jiangsu and Guangdong aircraft carrier battle groups are responsible for the southwest direction, as long as we can seize air supremacy, the task is almost equivalent to more than half of the completion. ”

"As long as we can take air supremacy?" Wu Jianming muttered: "That's all I told you about strategic things, right?" ”

"Well, that's right." Dong Dawei nodded and said: "I already know the strategic intent, and now it's a matter of tactics." YN's military strength is not bad either, if we can't do it overnight. It is likely to affect the ultimate strategic purpose. So there was a death order from above, absolutely no business trips. ”

"Because it needs to be done overnight. So you have to blow the withering and decaying......" Wu Jianming looked at the map and muttered: "In this way, if the tactical choice is incorrect or not in place, it is not easy to achieve the effect of blowing withering and decaying, after all, YN is not paper-meel." ”

Dong Dawei nodded in agreement, and then said: "The specific battle plan, the staff department has already given several plans, and we will sum them up together later." See if there's anything left to be filled. ”

Wu Jianming said that he knew, and then continued to discuss with Dong Dawei. Dong Dawei was the flight captain of the 4th Regiment of the 8th Aviation Division, and because he was a member of the Red Banner Special Operations Unit and the leader of the flight group of the same division, he had the right to learn about the operational plan designed by the General Staff of the 8th Aviation Division. Moreover, Dong Dawei can also break away from the command of the 8th Aviation Division to carry out other tasks when needed. However, because this mission involved the combat mission of his own garrison troops, and he could not take into account the command of the Red Flag side at the same time, there was a reason why Captain Wu, as the commander of the air force, ran to the side of the naval aviation unit and temporarily took over the command when needed.

The reason why Wu Jianming and Dong Dawei desperately find fault with the task plan is because this mission is too important, because the first shot was fired by them, and then the overall attack was followed. The General Staff demanded that the surface forces of the YN be completely destroyed within 24 hours.

It was night, under the dark sky, a thin crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the sound of the water on the rippling sea was sparkling.

On the sea, the sea area that should be bustling and lively is empty, and it is the season when fishing boats enter and exit and the colorful lights keep flashing, but there is not even a single fishing boat to be seen, and there is a dead silence as far as the eye can see. On the farther sea, surrounded by more than a dozen warships of various types, the battle formation, dominated by a huge ship with a displacement of 100,000 tons, directly encircled a sea area with a radius of more than 400 kilometers.

The earlier search and rescue ship was still carrying out search and rescue missions in the waters of the Beibu Gulf, but because of the impending battle, it moved away from the coastline of YN and turned into a humanitarian ship that even YN did not dare to attack them lightly.

At the same time, hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are taking off one after another at various military airports on Hainan Island and are beginning to assemble in the predetermined airspace to prepare for the first wave of missions.

Among them, there are not only the WJ600 model, which can fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, but also the multi-functional ANS206, as well as various UAVs with different purposes such as the Blue Arrow 270. Almost not long after the launch of these UAVs, they will be detected by YN's radar, because Hainan Island is too close to YN, the distance between the two nearest points is about 200 kilometers, with the detection range of modern radar, if it is not for the curved surface of the earth, I am afraid that the plane will be discovered on the runway.

However, it is inevitable to be discovered, because this is exactly the effect that the Celestial Empire Staff needs, and the UAV, as a low-priced, cost-effective combat weapon, is really suitable for use as a spy on the enemy. But the target of this batch of UAVs is not the YN ships loitering on the sea, but the YN shore-based radar site, as for the YN warships on the sea, or that sentence, this distance is too close, so close that our early warning aircraft only need to wander around Hainan Island, and can directly detect the YN local side, not to mention the ships in between.

Even YN's army knew that this distance was really not enough, so they only symbolically arranged a few old patrol boats and missile boats to cruise at the docking, and did not even put a light frigate here, and its focus was still on the Jiangsu aircraft carrier battle group.

So, when the drones took off and assembled and began to fly in the middle of the YN, the missile units that had been on standby for a long time were opened first. Twenty or thirty shore-based anti-ship missiles were launched from highways, positions, and other places, and soon after they were lifted into the air, they descended to the altitude of sea-skimming flights, and then, under the guidance of early warning aircraft, flew directly to those YN warships.

YN's response was not slow, at the moment when the missile was detected, the YN naval ships and shore-based air defense systems, which had been prepared for a long time, were immediately ready for battle, and the YN army, which had never been waiting to be killed, did not hesitate to launch a counteroffensive against the ZG naval ships and shore-based positions, and the same various missiles flew in the direction of Hainan Island with a trail that could not be seen in the dark night. For a time, on the radar of the early warning aircraft, dozens of bright spots that were tracked constantly flashed and crossed together, and then rushed towards their respective targets.

At this time, the level of information warfare technology is revealed. With the full power operation of various electronic warfare units, many missiles on the YN side suddenly seemed to lose their targets in the air, changing the direction of flight indiscriminately, and then loaded into the sea, some simply exploded directly in the air, and some relatively advanced missiles that could fly over were also terminated under various countermeasures, this first wave of attacks, only one frigate on the ZG side was attacked, but it did not lose its combat capability, and on the shore-based side, the vehicle that launched the missile had long since disappeared, I didn't suffer any damage at all.

Compared with ZG, YN is not so good, it was originally a few old-fashioned ships, and the missiles carried are also old-fashioned, in today's rapid replacement of weapons and equipment, these old-fashioned equipment is really not enough. Under the round of missile attacks, almost all the patrol boats and missile boats were directly destroyed, and even some missiles that arrived later simply self-destructed because they could not find their targets.

Next, there is the first contact of air power, because the first drones have already flown to the coast...... (To be continued......)
