Chapter 194 Battle 3

Since the first battle between China and the Philippines, especially after the two countries declared war, the navies of the two sides have engaged in a large-scale confrontation on the Philippine side of the Dongsha Islands and the Zhongsha Islands. At the same time of the first battle, the main force of the Philippine fleet was only 5 hours away from the combat area, and the "main force" of the South China Sea Fleet was less than 5 hours away. However, after the battle, the two fleets coincidentally stopped moving forward, and various electronic instruments and satellite navigation facilities were fully operational. Late at night, the Chinese fleet carried out a round of missile attack on the Philippine fleet, and then the two sides broke out of contact. The pressure of the Chinese navy's soldiers made the Philippines extremely nervous. Before the two aircraft carrier battle groups far away in Guam were assembled (one was originally stationed in Japan and the other was originally stationed in Hawaii), they rushed to Southeast Asia at high speed to deter the main force of the Chinese fleet, which was very arrogant in the South China Sea! Because according to intelligence, the Chinese fleet appearing in the Philippines in the west is composed of an aircraft carrier battle group and a "Far East mode" strike formation composed of nine large warships of various types. Among them, the aircraft carrier battle group includes seven large destroyers, six large frigates and several submarines, which is extremely strong. It puts a lot of pressure on the Philippines.

After decades of long development, the Chinese navy has greatly expanded. It has not only become an important sea surface force in the Far East, but also very powerful in the world and has been able to carry out medium- and long-range long-distance operations! The main force of the navy is divided into five major fleets. Not only has the original four seas fleet been strengthened, but also a more powerful fleet has been formed, and now it has been integrated into four fleets. Generally speaking, the main force of the Chinese navy is composed of three aircraft carrier battle groups and six mixed fleets, supplemented by a large number of submarine forces. The Bohai Fleet takes a mixed fleet and a large number of ships as its main force, and is supplemented by many kinds of various warships, mainly guarding the Bohai Bay, and can go forward to support the Yellow Sea. The East China Sea Fleet has gathered the main force of the original Yellow Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet, and now takes the "Huangpu" aircraft carrier battle group and two mixed fleets as the main force. Responsible for the northern part of central Taiwan, guarding East China and blocking Taiwan Province; while the South China Sea Fleet takes two mixed fleets as the main strike and escort force. With the cooperation of a large number of ships and other ships, it is not only responsible for guarding the portals in the south, but also responsible for the task of blocking the southern half of Taiwan Island, as well as part of the southeast. Sub-war mission. The four major fleets are the most powerful in the south China Sea Fleet. The fleet is dominated by the "Zheng He" aircraft carrier battle group and the "Oriental" aircraft carrier battle group, plus a mixed fleet. Its escort and strike capabilities occupy the first place in each fleet. This fleet is actually transferred by the ocean-going fleet and has been far into the Pacific Ocean many times. Since entering the economic crisis, it has been active in the South China Sea region, shocking the "bad ambitions" of various countries!

Since its completion, China's aircraft carrier has become the focus of attention of all countries in the world. It is considered to be an important symbol of the deep into the sea by this eastern land power, and has posed a threat to the Far East strategy of the United States. It has become an anti-American navy in the east, a fleet against Japan in the north, an Indian navy in the west, and a pressure on Southeast Asian countries in the south. The strong armed forces. And the South China Sea Fleet has always been the focus of close attention of Southeast Asian countries, all of which are closely monitored! When the "Zheng He" aircraft carrier battle group and other ships went out to the Philippines to face the West, the shock caused by it can be imagined. This is almost all the forces in the South China Sea. Does China want to take advantage of the hesitation of other countries to take the Philippines first, or paralyze the Philippine's war capabilities without interference in the United States? Did you create a fait accompli before? At this time, not only the Philippine government is very nervous, but also the governments in Southeast Asia are very nervous. Even the U.S. government is very uneasy. While protesting to the government of Country Z, it orders the advance detachment to accelerate its progress and must reach the Philippine Sea before the Philippines collapses. All countries in the world are closely monitoring this impromptu "expanding war"!

The Southeast Asian war has expanded rapidly. When the U.S. advance detachment just left Guam and was far from reaching the designated position, it had expanded. On the afternoon of the 21st, the Southeast Asian War officially broke out. At 6 a.m. on the 22nd, the Sino-Vietnamese War quickly began. The Chinese navy carried out a large-scale attack on Li Zhiming City in the southern part of Vietnam. In the north, the Chinese army launched a "breaking bamboo offensive" and carried out a fierce attack on the Northern Vietnam Military Region. At the same time, a large number of fighters and missile troops gathered to the south, and carried out saturated attacks on Vietnam's front line, depth and various military sites. A large number of bombers took off from front-line airports and inland airports, bombed Vietnam's various strategies and military priorities, and a large number of fighters took off from front-line airports to carry out combat escorts, and cameras The attack aircraft group of Vietnam was shot down... From more than six o'clock in the morning, a large number of medium- and long-range missiles have scattered Vietnam's military airports. From land, sea and air, hundreds of missiles were tilted to Vietnam's land.

The first round of attack began at 6:25 a.m. A large number of missiles launched from long-range missile bases inland China passed through the clouds and entered the stratosphere, and then crossed the clouds to attack Vietnam's missile bases and military airports. The second attack later was launched from the sea, with dozens of cruise missiles. From the ship, they rushed to the land of Vietnam, and almost at the same time, bombers taking off from aircraft carriers carried out missile attacks on some areas; the third batch of attacks were missile attacks carried out by a large number of bombers on the Chinese side far away from Vietnam or the sea far away from the coastline. Three consecutive batches of attacks vented a large number of missiles on Vietnam in less than 20 minutes, causing a large number of Vietnamese missiles to explode on the spot before they were launched. A large number of advanced fighters were destroyed on the tarmac before taking off. Most of the military airports could not be repaired and opened in a short time. Just earlier, Vietnam's national power system was paralyzed, the whole country fell into permanent darkness before dawn, and news dissemination and media transmission in most areas were interrupted...

This is not over. At seven o'clock in the morning, the northern military region of Vietnam was first strongly attacked by Chinese long-range missiles, and then bombarded by Chinese bombers indiscriminately. They were baptized by all kinds of bombs. Many bombs even did not explode at all, which made people false alarm. Fortunately, they recovered their lives. However, it has not recovered from the blessing. China's army troops have quickly broken into the Vietnamese military defense zone. By 10 a.m., the northern border defense line of the Vietnamese army has tended to collapse, and many areas have been broken through more than 40 kilometers. The collapse seems inevitable. The troops competing to retreat are crowded on several strategic highways. There is a rumble of aircraft in the air, and even the figure of China's troops in front has appeared in some places... The whole northern military region is about to collapse! By about 12 o'clock in the morning, in addition to some areas that were still resisting, Vietnam's northern military region had completely collapsed. More than 20,000 people were killed in the battle, a small number of them were killed in the other side's charge, and most of them died in air bombing or missile attacks. A large number of troops had no time to withdraw in time, and nearly 100,000 people were besieged. Trapped, most of these soldiers were captured, and the entire Northern Military Region was almost lost. The vanguard of the Chinese army went straight to the heart of Vietnam!

While the Northern Vietnam Military Region was devastated, the Southern Vietnam Military Region was also hit hard. The Chinese army launched a landing operation to capture Li Zhiming City, with two naval and marine brigades as the vanguards, and captured the central city in the south with the support of naval ships, airborne troops and a large number of army amphibious combat troops! At 7:30 a.m., the advance detachment of the Marine Corps took advantage of the fierce air battle and landed in Fanqi and Nha Trang in the northern part of Li Zhiming City with the cooperation of the airborne troops. The third brigade soon occupied Fanqi. After receiving the support of some army troops, the main force quickly attacked to the south, and then divided the troops were divided into two routes. Some troops attacked the west to disturb the border and stopped the reinforcements in the direction of Li Zhiming City. The main force attacked and advanced in the direction of the port city of Vung Tau, with airborne troops and the marines who forcibly landed from nearby. Together, especially with the cooperation of the nearby naval ships, the waterway attacked in multiple ways, and captured the main wharf of the port at about 13:30 p.m. to welcome the army troops moored in the sea. With a large number of army landing and a large amount of heavy equipment, as of 16:00 p.m., there was already a division. The army troops set foot on Vietnamese territory and then divided into several columns to attack Li Zhiming City. The combat mission of the second brigade is even more important. It captured the elite troops in Nha Trang almost at the same time. The first target was the famous Jinlan Bay and ensure that the port facilities would not be seriously damaged by the Vietnamese side. Therefore, in addition to leaving some troops to protect the stronghold of Nha Trang, the main forces of the brigade marched along the railway. As the airborne troops captured many important strongholds, they quickly approached Jinlan Bay.

The battle to capture Jinlan Bay is extremely fierce. For China, whether it can successfully capture Jinlan Bay is related to the smooth implementation of the follow-up battle plan, and even the success or failure of the entire Vietnam War plan. For the Vietnamese army, as long as the port town does not fall into the hands of China for a day, the other party will be delayed for one day. Zhiming City may even smash the strategic attempt of the Chinese army. However, the situation is obviously beneficial to the Chinese side. China's multi-way cooperation and rapid attack is the north, the strong attack of the main force of the second marine brigade, the south is the surprise attack of the third brigade, and the sky is the indiscriminate bombardment from the Chinese air force. There are also uninterrupted strikes by Chinese warships on the sea, and special The strong attack of the detachment, there is also the destruction and obstruction of the Chinese airborne troops... By about 15:00 p.m., the main ports have been fully controlled by the Chinese army, and the landing ships and merchant ships in the nearby waters have begun to deliver the army troops and various materials and equipment ashore; as of 8 p.m., the landing troops have been More than 20,000 people have been reached, and the troops that landed in advance have attacked in the direction of Bangmei Shu. At this time, it is only a matter of time before the Chinese army captures southern Vietnam. Sure enough, at about 12 p.m., the "sea allied forces" attacking Bongmei Shu have completed the encirclement with the cooperation of the airborne troops of the air force.

Buon Ma Thuot is a transportation hub city in southern Vietnam. A number of strategic roads intersect here. The successful encirclement of the Chinese army, especially the cutting off of nearby strategic roads, is equivalent to completely closing the door to the north withdrawal of the southern Vietnamese army and cutting off the main channel for the southern aid of the northern Vietnamese army. The Vietnamese army south of Buon Ma Shu. It has become isolated.

Contrary to the Vietnamese military's estimate, the Chinese army does not pay enough attention to Li Zhiming City, but shows extraordinary enthusiasm for some nearby airports. The surrounding areas of Li Zhiming City, especially the several airports in the north that have been heavily bombed (most of the air bases in southern Vietnam are located in the north of Li Zhiming City), have all fallen under the control of the Chinese military. When the dream-like Vietnamese want to regain it, even if they pay a painful price, they will get nothing. In addition to the damage caused by the Chinese's own bombing, the multi-airport is basically "in intact", and there are still smoke burning from fighters waiting for the engineers to clean up in some places.

In the battle in the south, the battle to capture Jinlan Bay was the most fierce, far exceeding the loss of the battle of Vung Tau. Although there were no losses in the navy and air force, the ground troops suffered a lot of casualties, and some troops even almost lost their combat effectiveness. For example, the airborne detachments and task forces that seized a port by surprise attack seized a certain port. When the large troops were relieved, only more than 20 people were still fighting, with nearly 60% of the casualties were lost, and the proportion of serious casualties reached It reached about 40%; and a battalion of the Third Brigade, which was a surprise operation, was reduced from more than 600 people before the war to more than 200 people, and the casualty rate almost reached two-thirds, of which nearly one-third died in the direct battle. When the battle was over, the army had to rest on the spot and rest until the war. The end.

When the war in northern Vietnam gradually stopped, the Southern War was entering the critical stage. By 6 a.m. on the 23rd, the total number of Chinese troops landing had reached more than 60,000, more than all the combat strength of the southern Vietnam Military Region. The army forces that took over the main tasks of the battle not only curbed the north. The enemy attacked and blocked all the traffic arteries to Li Zhiming City, besieging the main remnants of the Vietnamese army in the south under Li Zhiming City, eliminating the threat of the Vietnamese army to some Chinese troops. After a whole day of fighting, the Chinese army has completely suppressed the main force of the Vietnamese army. The marines, airborne regiments and army forces have formed a military advantage over the Vietnamese garrison. At about 10 a.m. on the 23rd, the Chinese air force began to use Vietnam's land airport, and a large number of aviation facilities were transported to Vietnam. The damaged airport was quickly rebuilt...

While the Vietnamese army was jointly attacked by China's sea, land and air, the Vietnamese air force was also forced to engage in a fierce confrontation with the Chinese air force. A large number of Vietnamese fighters took off from several military airports that had not been destroyed, under the guidance of ground radar, attacked China's long-range bombers and had to fight with China. The escort fighters and hunting fighters engaged in a fierce exchange of fire; while Vietnam's relatively weak navy, although the tortoise did not move in the harbor, was also subjected to long-range attacks by missiles and ship attack aircraft, which was almost lost in the battle that day. Vietnam's air force is also very tenacious. Although most of the domestic radar positions were destroyed, it still relied on its airborne radar and the remaining radar on land to meet the Chinese fighters, and there was a fierce battle. However, the engagement between the two air forces is completely one-sided. Vietnam lacks early warning aircraft, let alone satellite navigation facilities. It mainly relies on ground radar guidance and airborne radar search. Although its fighter aircraft performance is good and its weapons are of high-grade, the gap is relatively large compared with China. The first round of the attack of China's attack wave was Vietnam's command system, which interfered with all the contacts between Vietnam and space. The early warning aircraft was blown up, the satellite navigation was cut off, the international connection was temporarily blocked, and even its domestic communication connection was damaged. China's fighter aircraft is not only the most advanced fighter type in the world, which is at least half a grade higher than that of Vietnamese aircraft. At the same time, China not only has war zone early warning aircraft, but also has air navigation system support. Its advanced electronic search capabilities are not comparable to that of the Vietnamese army. When China concluded that Vietnam's early warning aircraft could not be used, it decided the outcome of the double battle. Although central Vietnam is a relatively light area of China's attack, and some Vietnamese air forces still have the will to fight, the area is narrow, there are not many air bases, the strength is relatively weak, and the number of fighters that can be launched is very limited, one-on-one. In confrontation, Vietnamese fighters may still have a chance, but after combining various advantages, with the advantage of 2-1 or even 3-1, since the first Vietnamese fighter was shot down in the air battle, it was shot down one after another. Later, it really couldn't stand the loss and had to withdraw from the battle and completely hand over the air power of its airspace. . Compared with the bitter resistance of the air force, the Vietnamese naval forces did not resist decently from the beginning and handed over the sea control and the residence of some ports early. The first ship was sunk by the Chinese maritime force at about 8 a.m. on the 22nd. By about 12 a.m., six ships had been sunk by the Chinese maritime force, and four warships were seriously damaged. They struggled to avoid the tracking and bombing of Chinese aircraft, but were injured and destroyed by multiple attacks by the naval fleet. ... As a result, 12 large ships of the whole navy were sunk, and four large ships were seriously damaged. Most of the naval ships lost their combat capabilities. The whole navy was forced to retreat to its home port. Only two warships "break through the blockade" and fled to Allied ports! The battle against the Vietnamese navy was the most fierce battle between the two ports in the south, which were not only attacked by Chinese long-range missiles, but also jointly by the Chinese navy and air force.

The first person who was attacked was the naval forces of Vung Tau. Except for two large warships who desperately crossed the minefield and fled to the Gulf of Thailand, the other two large warships and more than a dozen small warships and merchant ships were all sunk by China's shore-based aircraft and carrier-based aircraft; and almost in Vung Tau. At the same time as the attack, the naval ships stationed in Jinlan Bay were also devastated. The swarm of Chinese HNA and carrier-based aircraft carried out indiscriminate attacks on all warships in the military port. Few ships escaped the attack. After the attack aircraft in the air hovered away that day, there was no one in Jinlan Bay. Warships can float on the water. In order to avoid the bombardment of Chinese aircraft, some warships even rushed into the minefield. There were columns of water rising to the sky everywhere. The explosions of mines, missiles, and warships came one after another, like hell on earth! Of course, the Chinese are not without paying the price. It is said that no warship or transport ship has been mined in Vung Tau, but in Jinlan Bay, even if the demining efforts are increased, there are still continuous mine incidents of transport ships.
