Chapter 198 Battle 7

The outbreak of the war in Southeast Asia is too rapid and the expansion is too fast. All countries in the world have no time to respond at all. The negotiation and dialogue between the major countries can't catch up with the development of the situation at all. The European Union and Russia are powerful but have nowhere to do. The United States, which has always responded quickly, has no time to dispatch, and the troops have been gathering and dispatching... frequently The diplomatic warnings issued by the public are even more useless and can't keep up with the development and changes of the situation... People around the world are stunned and are about to quarrel, and the coordinators of the United Nations have not been sent out at all... The war began with lightning speed, first Vietnam, then the Philippines, then Thailand, and the three countries of India, Malaysia and Thailand jointly announced. War, China's thinking jumps a little too fast! When the war broke out, the advance detachment of the U.S. Navy was still 800 nautical miles from the nearest Philippine coast. For some reason, after 16:00 p.m., the speed would come down again, only 20 nautical miles per hour, which would be longer than the day Eku expected, but the war did not Stop for the hesitation of the Americans. At 18:30, dozens of long-range missiles launched from China's inland rushed to Thailand. 20 minutes later, more than 60 rapid strike missiles were launched to Thailand from the main force of the South China Sea Fleet on the west side of the Nansha Islands. Less than 50 minutes away from the war, hundreds of missiles kissed Thailand's important military equipment. Shi. Although the early warning information was soon received, the Thais still suffered heavy losses in this round of strikes, and then everything calmed down at the same time as the sunset. Except for the sporadic gunfights and shelling in Vietnam, there was no war in Southeast Asia!

A short period of calmness is brewing a large-scale campaign. The Chinese people who are used to prosperation once again control the pulse of the war! At about 6 a.m. on the 23rd, the Chinese once again ignited the flame of the battle. The missile forces, navy and air force of China, India, Malaysia and Thailand fought an unprecedented battle in this tropical region. It is known as the Gulf of Thailand air battle, also known as the first air battle in Southeast Asia, or the first air battle in the Gulf of Thailand. Thailand and Malaysia have been subjected to multi-layer attacks from land, air and sea. A large number of missiles roared at important military targets and national civilian facilities, airports, transportation hubs, and power and communication facilities... all of which have been seriously damaged. Fighters from China's land and sea flocked to the north, and the two countries were finally warmly treated by their allies! Since the Second Artillery Force has launched an air attack on Thailand, the focus of this attack is on Malaysia, especially in the Central South Peninsula. Of course, the Thais are still the focus of this operation, which is mainly done by bombers taking off from China. These air fortresses that took off in the middle of the night or early morning, after refueling, bypassed Myanmar, launched fierce attacks from the junction of Thailand and Laos and from the sea. After projecting bombs or missiles from high altitude, they turned around and ran away. They were not entangled with Thai anti-aircraft missiles and fighters at all, making the enemy helpless, because of the previous guidance The bomb attack has seriously damaged many air defense positions, and it is impossible to fight back effectively!

For China, the combat mission of the Air Force is relatively heavy. A large number of fighters cruise over the Gulf of Thailand in groups, waiting for the opportunity to destroy enemy aircraft that dare to take off and attack from time to time, especially Thai naval ships. Because the Chinese have sent unprecedented fighter planes, the Thais can't get strong support from their allies at all and can only rely on their own strength to fight alone. It is the land-based air force that carries out the blockade against the Thais, and it is the carrier-based aircraft that specifically participates in the air attack on Thailand. The target is the core of the Thai navy - the aircraft carrier "Rangoon", a small opponent of the Chinese fleet, which makes the "Rangoon" not only deal with the attack on the ship's missile, but also to deal with it. From the air! The Thais were angry. Hundreds of advanced fighters took off urgently to meet the enemy and interfered with the enemy's "encirclement and annihilation" of the ships. The "Rangoon" was also angry. A large number of carrier-based aircraft took off urgently. The advanced fighters imported from Europe fought against the advanced fighters from China in an all-round way. The air war was extremely fierce, and aircraft continued to withdraw from the battle. To the air explosion... In the end, the Chinese were superior in technology and firmly controlled the air control. Under the command of satellite navigation facilities and early warning aircraft, the Thais were removed from the Gulf of Thailand!

There were more than 160 Chinese fighters from land and air carriers and more than 60 aircraft carriers, with a total of nearly 230. However, the Thais took off and attacked more than 90 land and sea-air fighters, plus carrier-based aircraft, a total of more than 110. . The disadvantage of quantitative comparison makes the result very natural, and the sudden change in air command makes the ending more inclined. Coupled with the amount of experience, the balance of war is obviously tilted towards China! As a result of the battle, more than 40 Thai fighters were shot down, while 8 Chinese fighters fell into the sea, and several others withdrew from the battle ahead of schedule. Most of the Chinese fighters who participated in this air battle have participated in the Vietnam air war and the Philippine escort war, and most of them are the "old oil" of the air war. Of course, they are better than the first battlefield of their Thai counterparts. Another important reason for China's great victory is that it shot down the other side's early warning aircraft. The two Chinese fighters, which won many ultra-low-altitude martial arts awards, risked being shot down directly, and rushed in at an ultra-low air all the way. Both missiles caused chaos under the command of the Thais. When the other early warning aircraft was activated Wait, the air battle has come to an end. Of course, these two Chinese fighters were also uncomfortable. Although they were not shot down on the spot, one of them disintegrated in the air after flying for nearly half an hour, and the pilot had to parachute and escape awkwardly, while the other plane was forced to land in Cambodia, and it was dozens of kilometers away from China's allied Laos! The air battle in the Gulf of Thailand fully achieved China's intended purpose. The "Rangoon" aircraft carrier could not stand the saturated attack of more than 60 Chinese carrier aircraft. After weighing 16 missiles, it began to tilt seriously at 7 a.m. and was forced to give up an hour later. It gradually sank into the Gulf of Thailand and became the first victims of the Thai navy in the war. !

The Chinese fighters operating over the Gulf of Thailand were not only attacked by Thai fighters, but also by Malaysian fighters. More than 60 Malaysian fighters participated in the counterattack against the Chinese Air Force. If it is only to deal with the Thais, there is no need for China to send a group of fighters of this size, because there will never be more than 150 fighters that Thais can use over the Gulf of Thailand. However, due to the alliance between the three countries, the flank threats of the remaining two countries must be taken into account while attacking every opponent. . Sure enough, more than 60 Malaysian fighters almost occurred at the same time when the Sino-Thailand air war broke out. Many Malaysian fighters were bought from Europe, and more were imported from China, but for whatever reason, they are not the opponents of China's active fighters at all. Chinese pilots are naturally well aware of the various performance of export fighters. Many pilots have even piloted these aircraft in person. In addition, they have been prepared for a long time, which makes the result of the battle even more suspenseless. After leaving more than 30 fighters, the Malaysians withdrew awkwardly, while only 6 Chinese fighters were injured. One fell into the sea.

In the air battle in the Gulf of Thailand, the two sides invested more than 400 advanced fighters, which is the largest joint sea and air combat since the beginning of the war. If the two sides invest in other places, the scale is even larger. With its excellent record, China's land-based aviation force has shown its tough demeanor to all its military colleagues and its excellent skills to the world's aviation power. Since then, the Chinese Air Force has become more eye-catching!

Obviously, China's campaign attempt will not stop here. Although more than 200 attack aircraft have been put into, although it has successfully sunk the Thai aircraft carrier and removed the biggest threat of the South China Fleet, it does not meet the requirements of the Chinese campaign! Although a large number of fighters have been invested in fighting for air power, it is obvious that the Chinese have other intentions. Only part of the land-based air force has been put into the Gulf of Thailand, and a large number of HNA troops are unknown. At this moment, how can the Chinese idle these two main aviation divisions, and the simple attack on the Thai navy is not in line with China's strategic intentions. In fact, the focus of this air battle is on Malaysia, and the real target of the Chinese Air Force is the Malaysian navy.

Malaysia's navy was originally relatively weak. It is a relatively weak navy among the powerful countries in Southeast Asia. It is neither Thailand nor Indonesia. However, for more than a decade, its strength has grown rapidly and the number of large warships has been increasing. The advanced ships introduced from all over the world, Europe, Japan and Russia are their customers. Hu has introduced many warships from China at a low price, which has become a first-class naval force in Southeast Asia and has gradually received the attention of the Chinese people. Originally, the government of Country Z was to cultivate a pro-China naval power in the South China Sea. Unexpectedly, it became a relatively strong opponent instead of raising tigers! Due to Malaysia's special geographical location in the Three Kingdoms Alliance, if China wants to break down the connection between the three countries, it has to cut off its water surface connection first. If it can be based on eating his naval forces, the Three Kingdoms Alliance will have a de facto break, especially if the two countries in the north and the south cannot be easily connected, and the other two can be isolated. The country's navy made it impossible to become a whole, and even detered the three navies in one fell swoop and forced it to give up the right to control the sea. If the Three Kingdoms Alliance is a dumbbell, then Malaysia is the handle in the middle of the dumbbell, and the goal of China's battle is to completely destroy the handle.

The second and third aviation divisions of HNA are responsible for the attack and escort. The idea of the battle is that the land-based air force will press heavily over the Gulf of Thailand, attracting the attention of the Malaysian Air Force, and being forced to support the north, and then another air force will carry out a concentrated attack. The Chinese Air Force's attack on Thailand was very obvious and successfully achieved the purpose of the battle. A total of more than 60 fighters in Malaysia were attracted. Just as there was a fierce battle over the Gulf of Thailand, two huge aviation formations also reached the predetermined position under the cover of interference signals, Southeast Asia's The first large-scale air battle broke out!

The attack is carried out by HNA's Second Aviation Division, which are all J-16 multi-purpose attack aircraft. The J-16 equipped by HNA troops should actually be called J-16A multi-purpose attack aircraft. This is China's latest multi-functional fighter, with strong stealth performance, can implement air and even against ships. To the ground attack, the close combat performance is also very superior. Bringing an air-to-air missile is a fighter, which can not only fight against the air, but also escort a bomber. If you bring a ship attack missile, you will become a ship-to-attack aircraft, and even take off on an aircraft carrier and act as a one-way carrier-based aircraft; and if you bring one or two ground-to-ground missiles, you will become a light bomber! Lin Yongkang's landline is one of them. Nearly 100 fighters from the eight flight regiments of the entire Second Division were divided into four groups to attack the Malaysian navy. In the southern airspace of the division, there are nearly a hundred fighters of the brother aviation division. Their task is to intercept the Malaysian reinforcements from Kalimantan Island, especially the Indonesian reinforcements, to ensure that the friendly forces successfully complete the battle.

J-16 can carry 8 air-to-air missiles or 4 ship-to-ship attack missiles. In order to destroy the maximum extent of the Malaysian navy, all combat aircraft carry ship-to-to-ship attack missiles and take off from the base at about 5 a.m. After nearly 70 minutes of flight, After the waiting air tanker refueled, after another 30 minutes of long-distance low-altitude flight, it was divided into four groups and rushed to Malaysia's long coastline at an ultra-low altitude. At 7 o'clock, the group had attacked the enemy target. The whole east coast of Malaysia is full of gunfire rumbles. The harsh screams of J-16 and the roar of the ground and anti-aircraft gunfire make the Malaysians who have been frightened for a long time nervous. I don't know what the Chinese will do!

The whole sneak attack was very successful! At about 6:30, China's second artillery force has carried out high-intensity air strikes on some military airports, radar stations, military ports and air defense facilities. Although it did not destroy the air force, it also greatly reduced its combat capability, especially its ability to enter combat in a short period of time. Many fighters were either destroyed or unable to take off. Almost all the radar stations on the east coast were destroyed, especially the military port was seriously damaged! If the Chinese Air Force launches an air strike at about 6:40, then Malaysians can still be prepared, because this is the weakest time for air defense. Experts also have reason to believe that the previous air strike was to prepare for the air force attack, but more than ten minutes later, there is no sign of Chinese fighters, but Thailand. It is that the navy is under fierce attack, and the position of "closing the door to death" has greatly alleviated the suspicion that the mainland will be attacked. A large number of fighters have been sent to support the allies in difficult situation, because the situation does not allow them to stand by. Once the Thais are defeated, they will never be spared! And the navy did not expect that there would be a sneak attack by Chinese fighters after 7 o'clock, and it was not until the two sides contacted that the Chinese Air Force had arrived at home! The whole second division of HNA is divided into four large fleets, and each fleet is divided into several attack groups. The excellent work of the intelligence department reduces the difficulty of the search. Few warships can escape the attack, and often several fighters surround a warship group!

Each battle group is basically composed of 4 to 5 fighters. It was not until the target was hit by several bullets that it roared away, and then searched and attacked the next target. Even small patrol boats did not let go. Transport ships and supply ships, as long as they often enter and exit the military port, are given special care. HNA pilots are different from land-based aviation. A common key training subject is to attack ships. Everyone knows what kind of warships are most effective in which parts of the attack, and under what circumstances several missiles can sink a warship. The whole battle was carried out very quickly, and the military ports were attacked from the beginning until the fighters roared and withdrew. However, in a few minutes, the left-behind Malaysian fighters even had no time to take off and intercept. When they took off, the whole military port was already in a mess, and the opponents had already slipped away! Each battle group will automatically form a formation after withdrawing from the military port. If the missile is consumed, it will quickly leave the battlefield and gather in the predetermined airspace. If the missile has not yet been launched, it will rearrange and search for the leaking fish along the coastline. Each aircraft group is responsible for a certain airspace. At the same time, the satellite will constantly guide the position of their enemies. The early warning aircraft hundreds of kilometers away are also closely watching the direction and direction of the Malaysian lift-off fighters, so except for a few ships that have not been attacked, most of the ships have not escaped the claws of Chinese fighters. In addition to air strikes, the Malaysian navy has also been attacked by Chinese submarines. Even in ordinary times, China's submarine forces are an important force in the South China Sea. Although major countries in Southeast Asia have established a good anti-submarine system, and the modern navy's defense against submarines has become more and more in place, but it has not been Living in the air, Chinese submarines can sneak into the offshore, and the entry is like entering the no man's land. Many warships have just escaped the air attack, but have been sent to the bottom of the sea by the submarine! The whole air raid can be said to be clean and neat. Except for a few groups chased and shouted by Malaysian fighters, the rest were relatively easy and the losses were very slight. Only three fighters were slightly injured and withdrew from the battle in advance, and all the fighters returned to the airport! One group was particularly unfortunate. The scheduled target was invisible and was searching, but the early warning aircraft warned that Malaysians should have close contact with them. If they were carrying anti-aircraft missiles, they didn't care at all, but the problem was that there was not even a fighting bomb on the plane except for missile or ship-to-ship missiles. Yes, I had no choice but to escape and search along the coastline, but I couldn't find any of them. Instead, I crashed into another group of Malaysian fighters. Fortunately, the early warning aircraft would work. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have a chance to discard the missiles! In terms of the ability to escape, the ability of Chinese pilots or China's J-16 fighters is definitely better than that of Malaysian fighters, with strong power and performance, so that they can quickly get rid of their opponents, but they can no longer participate in the battle! Except for some warships that escaped the disaster by chance, most of the Malaysian ships were taken care of. According to the information back home, only two warships in the Malaysian East Coast Fleet were intact. A total of 24 warships were sank cleanly and neatly sunk, and 14 warships were forced to be released after rescue. Abandoned and gradually sunk, the remaining eight were seriously damaged, basically losing the function of the warship, and it is impossible to repair it in the short term! It can be said that except for some naval ships stationed on Kalimantan Island, there is no trace of the Malaysian navy in the whole sea area connected to the South China Sea! The price paid by the Chinese Air Force is the slight damage of nearly 370 air-to-ship missiles and three fighters. So far, China's battle goals have all been achieved, so that the opponents and the world have once again recognized China and the Chinese Air Force!

Indonesians are quite shrewd. When they knew that the Malaysian navy was being subjected to the Chinese Air Force**, they already understood the end of this ally. They are very clear about the air battle in the Gulf of Thailand, but the distance is too far, and they can't help if they rush there, so they urge their ally Malaysia to support quickly, and the support of the Malaysians has indeed played a role. Otherwise, the losses of the Thais will be more serious. However, when a large number of Chinese fighters and the Malaysian coast were attacked by the Chinese Air Force at the junction of India and Malaysia, the Indonesian military knew that even if they rushed there, it would be no effect. Even if the Chinese threw this interceptor group to Malaysia, the effect would be better. Maybe even the Malaysian Air Force It was killed! Therefore, the Indonesians had a full posture, but they did not do their best at all. After the over-horizon attack, they turned around and ran away. Even the Malaysians with the same aircraft group did not dare to rush over. If they didn't want to defend the junction of India and Malaysia, the three divisions of HNA would really catch up! This is good. It only hit the other side's two fighters and lags behind their competitors again, which has become a hidden pain in their hearts! But they did not dare to stay for a long time. After the sneak attack troops retreated, they also immediately withdrew from the war zone. Although they were eager to fight, they were allowed to face the coalition forces of the two countries alone. "That's impossible". In addition to the oil does not allow, the military confrontation is also seriously insufficient. I heard that the Indonesian air force has not suffered any losses at all. Now It is said that there are at least 300 fighter jets and many other aircraft. Although Malaysia has suffered losses and has been restrained, there are at least 100 other advanced fighters. Even there are dozens of them on Kalimantan Island, and these air forces have not suffered any losses! If it really annoys the opponent and a total of more than 400 advanced fighters come up, it's not a joke, or bring the Second Division of HNA. Whether it can beat the opponent or not, it's not certain!
