Chapter 692: Strike (1)

More than 150 fighters of various types took to the skies one after another and assembled and grouped over the fleet.

Rear Admiral Xi Muyun observed the situation of the aircraft group with a telescope on the bridge and said: "Commander Wise is still quite capable, and the marshalling of so many types of aircraft was completed in only 20 minutes......

At this time, the air combat commander Akichi Hidetsuna was in an early warning plane, and the air combat command did not have to go to the sky, but the wise Hidetsuna, who was born in the air force, was not accustomed to commanding from the bridge. So the AWACS aircraft on the Xianghe specially reserved a place for him.

One of the most troublesome things about the multinational coalition is that the types of weapons are inconsistent, and command and coordination are cumbersome. The ground forces are considered the best, because almost all of the light weapons and most of the heavy weapons of the People's Revolutionary Union have been uniformly standardized, and the weapons of various countries are of similar models. But the air force is much more troublesome, even if most of these planes are Chinese goods or Chinese parts, but there are too many aircraft models.

Just like now, China has the J-14 "Bobtail" fighter attack aircraft and the Qiang-10 "Sea Harrier" fighter, Japan has the Blazing Wind fighter, the Thunder attack plane, and the J-5 "Primordial Owl" attack plane, and the Siamese and Persian FC-18 "Osprey" fighters and the J-9 "Angry Eagle" attack plane. And then there are their electronic warfare models, three more, a total of 10 models of combat aircraft. It's not easy to command such a bunch of different things.

Siam's "Bangkok" and Persia's "Darius" are both "Type 107 Guangming-class" export aircraft carriers ordered from China, the former was completed in 1926, and the latter was completed in 1929, both treaty ships during the Washington Naval Treaty. claimed to be 35,000 standard rows, but because it was his own little brother, he was playing with scales at the time, and it was actually 39,000 tons of standard rows. After the Navy holiday, they and other sister ships of the same class were sent back to the shipyard in China to modernize and upgrade various systems. The standard row rose to 40,000 tons, and the full row was 50,000 tons.

By this year, all of these "standard aircraft carriers of the People's Revolutionary Union" have been upgraded to jet aircraft, and all carrier-based combat aircraft have been jet-typed. That is, the FC-18 "Osprey" fighter and the J-9 "Angry Eagle" attack aircraft, the prototype of the "Osprey" is the magic modification and enhanced version of the F-8 "Crusader" of the original time and space, and the prototype of the "Angry Eagle" A-7 "Corsair II". However, the development process of these two aircraft is the opposite of the original plane, which first developed the "Crusader" and then used it to develop the "Pirate II" for Rambo. However, the "Angry Eagle" attack aircraft was developed on this plane first, and then the "Osprey" fighter was developed based on it.

Both aircraft use the same engine, 70% of the components are interchangeable, and they are also cheap. For these small countries, these points are very important. The combination of the "Osprey" fighter and the "Angry Eagle" attack plane has also become the mainstream of the carrier-based aircraft of the People's Revolutionary Union Navy, with the exception of China and Japan, of course. However, in terms of performance, the "Osprey" fighter and the "Angry Eagle" attack plane can be said to have their own merits compared with Japan's blazing wind and thunder, and their comprehensive performance is almost the same. Because they are all the same heart, they are all turbojet-3C engines. Of course, China's own "Angry Eagle" is a turbofan engine.

Whether it is the Siamese and Persian "Osprey" and "Furious Eagle", or the Japanese "Blazing" and "Thunder", if according to Chinese standards, all belong to the category of single-engine light # aircraft, and China's "Bobtail Eagle" is a medium-sized aircraft, so their aircraft carrier capacity is more than that of China's Han Dynasty.

The aircraft configuration of the "Bangkok" and "Darius" is: 20 "Osprey" fighters and 20 "Angry Eagle" attack aircraft, as well as 4 "Screaming Eagle" (electronic warfare version of the Angry Eagle). The aircraft configuration of the Xianghe is: 24 "Blazing" and 28 "Thunder" attack aircraft, as well as 4 "Thunder" electronic warfare aircraft (the electronic warfare version of the Thunder). Others, such as AWACS and helicopters, are of similar configuration. Although China has only 34 combat aircraft, because it is a medium-sized aircraft, its equipment and missiles are better, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior in the slightest.

The No. 3 AWACS aircraft of the Xianghe flew at the highest position of the group, and it was the commander-in-chief aircraft of this operation. Rear Admiral Akechi Hidetsuna sat on the command seat in the nose of the plane and watched the formation below, and the nose of the Air Police-1 "Eagle Eye" early warning aircraft was a fully glass cockpit, and the field of vision was very good. Although the performance of the export version is not as good as the self-use version, it is also an unprecedented advanced equipment.

At least Akechi Hidetsuna was very satisfied with this kind of aircraft, and he especially appreciated the complete and powerful communication and command system on the plane, as well as the early warning radar on the back of the fuselage. This pot-shaped radar can achieve 360-degree scanning without dead angles, and adopts fixed target cancellation technology, which can suppress the interference of maritime clutter, and has an effective detection range of 300 kilometers (400 kilometers for the self-use version).

"Comrade Commander, the fleet has been assembled and ......," the captain reported to him.

Akechi Shuzuna nodded and said, "Let's go according to the plan......"

In this operation, there were four AWACS aircraft, which were organized into separate command groups to serve as early warning and command at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The naval airlines of the four countries each sent two fighter jets to escort them.

..................................................................

Ahmedabad, Judeo-Gujarat Autonomous State.

Ahmedabad, translated as Apabadan, during the Zheng He era, was the largest city in the Indian state of Gujarat and a major commercial city in the Indian subcontinent. The city sits on the Gujarat plain, 96 kilometers north of the Gulf of Cambay in the northeast of the Arabian Sea, across the east and west banks of the Sabamati River.

The area is known for its beautiful green buildings, Hindu temples and mausoleums. The inhabitants belong to multiple religions, and the contradictions have always been greater, and since the arrival of the Jews, the contradictions have been even greater.

Last March, a large-scale religious and ethnic conflict erupted in the city, killing at least 5,000 people and injuring tens of thousands. Most of them were Gujarat Greens who had been killed by Jews.

The conflict was also the trigger for the civil war in Gujarat. After that, the Jews and the local Green Cultists were slaughtered, and soon the regular armies of both sides joined the fire, and the situation was out of control. The Green Cultists are poorly equipped, but they are nowhere to be found, but the main reason is that they lack training and understanding of modern warfare. The Jewish armed forces are completely different, and many of the officers are active and retired officers of the European and American powers, and they are no strangers to modern warfare.

So in the beginning, the Gujarati, who had a much larger population, were completely hung and beaten by the Jews. The Gujarati, who were almost unable to hold on, immediately appealed to the surrounding Green Church brothers for help, and Pakistan generously agreed, so Pakistan joined.

In fact, it was certainly not Pakistan that came out of religious sentiment to help. The lower class of civilians may have this kind of feeling, but the big guys can't trap themselves for this kind of religious feeling. Pakistan has thoughts about Gujarat, and they see that there is fire all around them, and they also want to fish in troubled waters.

After more than a decade of serious management by the Jews, Gujarat has become the most industrialized region in India and has a variety of industries. The main industries are the textile industry, edible vegetable oil processing, chemical industry, alkali industry and cement industry. Emerging industries include electrical, mechanical, fertilizer production, and petrochemical products. Moreover, the Jews also built a system of irrigation canals, which was very attractive to the Pakistani bigwigs. Even if you can't completely annex Gujarat after the war, it's absolutely fine to expand your territory.

Pakistan was the hardcore of Britain, whether it was World War I, or the suppression of independence movements in the Indian subcontinent and Africa, they were the most active, and they were active everywhere in Britain's colonies where independence movements took place. After fighting like this for decades, the combat effectiveness of their army is naturally not comparable to Gujarat. Moreover, in order to help them see the subcontinent, the British gave them a considerable amount of advanced weapons.

After Pakistan joined, the situation was different. In the case of similar military equipment and the quality of officers and men, that is to see who has more people. The Jews have a huge disadvantage in this regard, they only have 7 million people, and their current opponents are 12 million Gujarati and 35 million Pakistanis, which is far too far behind.

Moreover, Pakistan has also stepped in with the Gujarati to call on the Green Cultists in the subcontinent to wage jihad and drive the Jews out together. Pakistan has a big face, and at once it gathered a lot of Green Christians from all over the subcontinent, most of them are Marathas next door, they are also quite hard, and they can't even care about the contradictions between themselves and Marat, so they come to the aid of the "Green Brothers" first.

The Jews could not hold on, and they soon abandoned Ahmedabad and retreated to the Katiawa Peninsula to establish a defensive line, which they were struggling to support by virtue of their geographical advantages. So now Ahmedabad has become the territory of the Bagu coalition army.

"Damn the Chinese! What does this have to do with them?" said Lieutenant General Bhutto, commander of the Pakistan Expeditionary Force, furious.

Because today the UBR has officially intervened in their war with the Jews, and has just launched a massive air raid on their troops that are attacking Rajkot and Kambe. Under the unprecedented fierce firepower, the 200,000-strong army on the front line suffered heavy losses and was already on the verge of collapse.

......At this time, the city suddenly sounded a terrible siren of air raids.

"What's going on?" Lieutenant General Bhutto had a faint bad feeling.

A staff officer stumbled in and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's not good, the front-line observation post reported that a large number of People's Revolutionary Union fighters were flying towards us, and the target may be our ......."

"Where is our Air Force?" Lieutenant General Bhutto was furious, knowing that the commander of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Aziz, had always been at odds with him. Could it be that the other party is preparing to pit himself??
