Chapter 219 Fierce Battle 2
Sure enough, three days later, China launched the fifth offensive air battle, which was also the sixth Southeast Asian air battle, also known as the second Indonesian Qianhai air battle. In this air battle, China sent all the flight regiments stationed in Vietnam, a total of 184 fighter planes, of which 52 fighters from the Second Air Division were used as advance flights. The regiment destroyed the remaining airfields in southern Malaysia. The rest of the fighters attacked the Indonesian military base on the island of Sumatra and attacked the Indonesian navy with cameras. In addition to the mixed squadron, there were nearly 80 long-range bombers taking off from domestic airports. Because this air battle mainly takes place in the sea in front of Sumatra Island, it is also known as the Sumatra Defense War, which is different from the previous "Battle of Kalimantan". China has 12 flight regiments that have served as escort and air combat missions, and the rest of the flight regiments have carried out attack and cover missions against the ship. Correspondingly, the allied forces have also launched the main force to fight. Malaysia has sent all advanced fighters and more than 60 ordinary fighters to fight. Indonesia has also launched advanced fighters and some ordinary fighters to fight against each other, but the joint In fact, the army is far worse than before. Because of the heavy losses in the last air battle, the Thais were unable to participate in this air battle. A total of 277 fighters were sent by the coalition to intercept, including 116 advanced fighters and more than 40 remaining unmanned attack aircraft. In addition, Indonesia also used a squadron. American pilot.
First of all, China launched an attack on Malaysia. Under the cover of 52 fighters from 5 flight regiments of the Second Air Division, 29 bombers attacked some military targets in southern Malaysia (on the Central South Peninsula). The reason why they attacked Malaysia first is to completely annihilate the remaining Malaysian fighters, relieve worries, and concentrate their forces to attack Indonesia. On the other hand, it forces the Indonesian fighters to move forward and change their defensive posture, because Indonesia will certainly not sit back and watch Malaysia's combat strength be destroyed. This responsibility is theirs. I can't afford it either. And this time difference is also a problem that the allied forces have to deal with. It is impossible for Malaysia to deal with China's heavy strikes alone. 52 fighters have already exceeded all their combat strength. In fact, Indonesia is indeed unable to support its allies, with only more than 20 fighters to support it, and it has not approached quickly. They all retreated when they first came into contact. Several flight regiments of the Second Air Division solved the Malaysian fighters with very low losses. Over the eastern waters of Malaysia, 64 ordinary fighters and unmanned attack aircraft rushed forward desperately, just like the ancient knight charge, but before reaching the close attack, all of them were solved, only half of the battles. The aircraft had the opportunity to launch the second round of missiles, and the remaining one-third had the opportunity to carry out the third round of attacks. Most of the remaining fighters did not even have a chance to escape. Instead, there were 16 advanced fighters. Except for two that were shot down, all the rest retreated south to the front line of Indonesian fighters.
55 bombers escorted by 132 fighter planes, Shanshan came to the north of Sumatra. After meeting with Malaysia's advance flight regiment, they rushed to the enemy's aircraft group at full speed. The two sides arrived at a certain area in the Qianhai Sea of Indonesia almost at the same time and attacked each other from several directions. The purpose of China's side is to force the opponent's front to move back, and make up safe areas for the subsequent bomber formation, while the Indonesian Air Force, on the one hand, intercepts the other side's advance, and on the other hand, to break through the interception and attack the formation of bombers with weak defensive capabilities. Due to the advanced reconnaissance and command capabilities of early warning aircraft and the positioning capabilities of satellites, there is little chance of strange soldiers on the battlefield. They can only attack head-on, but the number of some areas is different! In this regard, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. The Indonesian Air Force occupies the advantage of troop allocation. In fact, it is in an active position. It can concentrate its superior forces to make breakthroughs and use the time difference to catch the opponent off guard. What's more, she has almost the same number of ordinary fighters that can confuse the judgment of the other party, so although China The early warning aircraft's capabilities are extraordinary, and the battlefield command and dispatch are also very reasonable. They are still penetrated into the defense circle by some fighters, so that the relatively weak escort fighters in the rear have to resist desperately, which will win time for the withdrawal of bombers and the return of their comrades in front. The whole battlefield was in chaos. More and more Indonesian fighters poured in along the gap, forcing the bombers away from the predetermined airspace and facing the danger of being attacked. One of the main goals of the campaign can no longer be achieved, so they can only return!
Although the Indonesians relied on the cover of ordinary fighters to smash a Chinese campaign attempt, they also paid a huge price. After entering the melee state, the Indonesian fighters who completed the main battle tasks could no longer escape, especially those advanced fighters that broke through. Already surrounded by several aspects, many advanced fighters and a large number of ordinary fighters have been shot down or injured. On the other hand, because the relevant parties do not require to intercept the other side's breakthrough, China's losses are not very large, and gradually occupy a quantitative advantage, and several fighters have besieged. The scene of an enemy plane! In one-on-one battles, most of the Chinese fighters have a great advantage. At the same time, because the Indonesian navy did not come forward to support air combat, the officers and soldiers who could not achieve another battle attempt were to carry out air combat as fighters, which made the Indonesian air force pay a greater price for their victory! When there were only Chinese fighters left in the air, the allied forces paid the price of a total of 162 fighters, including 72 advanced fighters, including 7 from Malaysia. Compared with the 142 of the coalition forces, China lost a total of 30 fighters, of which 20 were shot down. If Malaysia's previous losses are added, the loss ratio of the two sides will reach 32 to 238, and the shot down ratio is 20 to 214, which has become a very different battle. Even in terms of the loss of advanced fighters, China's losses are relatively small. But no matter how brilliant the record is, it can't hide the "lack of ability" of the two aviation engineers. With the advantage in quantity and quality, they have suffered such a huge loss, which can't help but arouse the vigilance of some people, especially some fighters, which were shot down or injured as soon as they came into contact. If they hadn't been prepared and occupied the quantity and With the quality advantage and the timely use of siege tactics, the loss may be more!
In this battle, China captured nearly 200 coalition pilots, and according to preliminary interrogation, there were a total of 8 non-active foreign pilots. This group of people were immediately sent to the Hainan base and were not locked up with other pilots. For these eight foreign pilots, the relevant parties attach great importance to this, which shows that foreign pilots have participated in the war. Civilians have always had a tradition of participating in the war for various purposes, including religious reasons, political reasons, and simple economic reasons... This has appeared in previous wars, and China is naturally I'm ready to deal with these seven Americans and one British! Since these people are not soldiers, the ZG government treats them as criminals. Soldiers have the protection of global conventions for soldiers. The abuse of prisoners of war will lead to protests from human rights organizations. At the same time, there are also soldiers captured in China. Naturally, they have to take care of the prisoners of war of the coalition forces, but the criminals are different. You are criminals and violate Chinese laws. Most of the human rights have been lost. I heard that China has not abolished the death penalty. When the war is over, soldiers will soon return to China, but criminals, just wait! But the ZG government is not very harsh. As long as it can provide military identity certificates, it will not be deliberately embarrassed!
"Are you an active-duty Indonesian soldier?" ......
"No, are you from Thailand or Malaysia?" ......
"Neither, are you an American soldier?" ......
"Oh, in this case, the Geneva Convention doesn't work for you. You've been arrested..."......
As a result, four out of eight people were sent to prison, becoming a new group of Chinese criminals on the Internet, because they violated the law in China's jurisdiction, and the ZG government punished them in accordance with the law! This has become a heavy blow to the Chinese military against "free people". Do you want to go through this muddy water? Then be prepared to go to prison for the rest of your life!
The sixth Southeast Asian air battle ended in the complete failure of the allied forces. After several wars, Indonesia has only 28 advanced fighters left. Of course, she still has 15 fighters that can theoretically be repaired. Thailand also has only 16 advanced fighters and 14 wounded fighters left. The whole allied forces of the three countries are complete. There are 48 undamaged fighters and 78 fighters. They have almost completely lost their combat ability. Coupled with the loss of a large number of pilots, they have actually lost their ability to continue to fight! Just before the sixth air war, some countries launched plans to maintain the combat capabilities of the allied forces. The results of the air war accelerated the implementation of these plans. At the same time, the allied forces also had to make a choice. The successive defeats of the air battle cost them many years of savings, but they were not willing to fail, and they were frustrated and disappointed. Some expectations are that if they can exchange more benefits at a smaller price, they are really willing to continue to fight with China. Because according to intelligence analysis, China's military production has reached its limit, the huge consumption since the beginning of the war has exhausted all its inventory, and there has been a shortage of equipment. For example, fighter planes have reached the limit. In order to meet front-line demand, some troops can no longer maintain full equipment or even stationed. Some aircraft divisions near the Yangtze River Delta cannot guarantee the establishment, and the consumption of missiles, especially long-range missiles, is more serious, at least in the short term without large-scale strike capability.
However, the problem in front of the coalition is more serious. Not only is there a serious shortage of fighters, but also an extreme shortage of pilots. It is too late to train by yourself. It is simply suicide and a waste of the country's reserve funds to compete with those novices in the battlefield with China's long-term war. The problem of spending money on planes. But nowadays, there are few countries that can help. Except for the United States and its staunch ally Australia, even its accomplice Britain is unwilling to intervene, and India is only willing to sell arms and cannot provide manpower. Therefore, in order to continue the war, the White House bypassed Congress to introduce the Lend-Rent Act, which allows the military to support allies in a certain capacity and allows American soldiers to support allies in a certain capacity. Then, the whole flight squadron retired, formed a volunteer army to go to Southeast Asia, and then simply became these international friends, which not only supported the Southeast Asian coalition, but also freed the United States from external involvement, and made these people not "special treatment" when captured. Southeast Asian allies readily accepted this bill, because there was no better solution for them. They not only got a large number of "cheap fighters", a large number of more advanced fighter planes than they used before, but also got a large number of "cannon fodder" and a large number of more combat effectiveness cannon fodder.
However, what makes the coalition feel a little depressing is that their pilots are not allowed to fly these advanced fighters. On the one hand, the Americans are not worried about the coalition forces, because according to intelligence, the Chinese have captured an advanced American fighter from the coalition forces. It happens again; on the other hand, even if the coalition has not had such incidents, it will not be easily allowed to fly these fighters. After all, this is the most advanced fighter in the United States, and to a large extent, it is the capital that the United States relies on to save its life! Therefore, there are two series of American fighters exported to Southeast Asia, one is used by volunteers and the other is used for export, that is, used by the coalition. "These fighters are not familiar with each other!" India is not willing to show weakness. Although it takes time for Thais to adapt to their fighters, it is much more convenient for Malaysians. The military industry of China and India is deeply influenced by Russia, and the design ideas of fighters are basically the same. Since Malaysians can use Chinese and Russian aircraft, they can use India with a little training. The fighter planes, and India also promised to provide fighters that are not inferior to other countries, which finally moved the negotiating opponent, but the difference is that although these fighters are real, they are also absolutely valuable. In order to maintain the common progress and retreat of allies, the other two countries have to send money to India together. Although Europe prohibits the export of war materials to the belligerent countries, it does not impose restrictions on the root cause. A large number of Southeast Asian deposits have been withdrawn. The Indian government alone has received 10 billion euros, a total of 72 billion yuan, which has caused her to vacate all her stocks and continue production to make up nearly 30. 0 fighters and their spare parts and weapons and equipment, the first batch of orders alone, are as high as 200, which is a very annoying thing for the ZG government. Diplomatic intervention does not work at all. Only the 300 fighters supported by the United States, of which 200 of the most advanced fighters in the U.S. military have a headache. Wait, what about India!
After March 14, that is, after the sixth Southeast Asian Air War, the war has entered another brand-new stage. Some countries have further participated in it, and the war has also evolved into a direct confrontation between China and the United States. The main force of the coalition is no longer the Southeast Asian coalition, but the active soldiers of the U.S. military. And retired pilots! The Chinese military does not dare to take the U.S. military lightly at all. Perhaps the combat experience of American pilots is not very good, but their training is absolutely first-class in the world, and their active fighters can definitely rank in the top three of the world's active fighters. Can China's J-15 and J-16 be in the confrontation? No one is sure about gaining an advantage! How much loss China can withstand and how much loss the United States can bear is undoubtedly another ** problem, because it is directly related to the victory or defeat of this war! The active advanced fighters of the U.S. military are mainly driven by their active pilots. Some volunteers who entered Southeast Asia earlier can also fly these fighters. The "noble bloodline" of the Americans makes them unable to fly the same fighters as Southeast Asians, especially when there are more advanced fighters in Southeast Asia. Of course, South Asians dare not offend these "American masters", and the U.S. military can't stop these free people, otherwise they will not be able to pass the pass of the domestic people! For the Chinese, war is a thing, and if you can get it when the Americans release the password box this time, it will be a world-class good thing! This can be achieved in three ways. One is to counter the coalition forces. Of course, the senior officials of the coalition are not monolithic, because this war with huge losses does not meet the interests of all Southeast Asians. Taking advantage of the possible relaxation of the battlefield to steal the fighters, but the possibility of success is not high, because the Americans are not stupid at all. Some corresponding precautions will definitely be made. The second is to make a forced landing like last time. Of course, the best way is to directly instigate the pilots, especially those retired pilots, but this is not a simple thing. The Americans will certainly take corresponding precautions, and not all non-governmental volunteers can fly these fighters. When the first allied fighter landed on the simple runway in Vietnam, some people were planning another fighter to set foot on Vietnam and even China!
The combat effectiveness of the Indonesian Air Force has recovered quickly. After several transitions, 60 advanced fighters and even 120 support fighters exported by the United States have been stationed in many military airports in the country, and the remaining 120 fighters have also been transferred to Thailand. These fighters have greatly The combat capability of the coalition has been improved; at the same time, Malaysia has also received 80 of the first 200 fighters, and its combat effectiveness has been initially formed. In just a few days, the coalition rose from 60 advanced fighters to 440 in one fell swoop, which soon formed a military advantage for China's "Southern War Group". For the Chinese Air Force stationed in Vietnam, 200 U.S. military's world's most advanced fighters were the biggest enemy, which once again put the Vietnam Air Force at a disadvantage. If you can't defeat or fight against your opponent... At this time, less than a week before the other two aviation divisions entered the state of rest, the situation changed dramatically again, making the officers and soldiers who were resting also feel a little nervous. However, China did not show weakness. On March 18, the latest improved J-16E fighters began to equip troops. First of all, they were replaced by the four flight regiments of the 3rd Division of HNA. By the 20th, the J-16A fighters of the 3rd Division of HNA had all been recycled and improved, and the whole division was equipped with the latest improved J-1. 6E fighter, by the end of the month, the second division of HNA also changed its equipment. J-16E and J-16 are exactly the same in many places, but their individual performance has been strengthened. Because of the inheritance of fighters, it is easy for pilots to adapt and avoid the phenomenon of being new. While HNA's equipment is being replaced, the two main participating aircraft divisions of Landline have also been equipped with new fighters at the same time, which is also an improved version of J-15. It is internationally known as J-15F, and its action is also very fast. This period is also known as the intermittent period of the Southeast Asian War. Both sides are adapting to the new environment and new fighters, and no one has any provocative activities.
A brief calm often indicates greater action. Sure enough, a new round of battle was first launched in Vietnam, and Vietnam, which has been calm for a long time, has once again become the center of global attention.
On April 1, it was April Fool's Day in the West. China's navy, land and air force launched a large-scale attack on Vietnam from four directions. With the cooperation of the navy and air force, it surrounded and annihilated the main force of Vietnam's new northern military region. On the southern line, nearly 80,000 army and marines advanced. There was a containment attack; on the Lao side of the Western Front, nearly 100,000 elite troops also carried out a containment attack on the defense area of the Western Front. Coupled with the naval attack on the eastern sea, the Vietnamese who spent more than a month in trembling were instantly attacked on all sides. With the cooperation of the air force bomber force, many land aviation brigades and even helicopter brigades continue to attack from the air! The battle to encircle and annihilate the remnants of Vietnam began at 6 a.m., and the three fronts launched attacks almost at the same time, which caused the collapse of Vietnam's already unstable defense line in an instant. The precise attacks from land and air made the equipment purchased by Vietnam useless at all. By about 8 a.m., most of the attacks The troops have made a breakthrough. The 200,000 army on the northern front launched a siege against the Vietnamese army in front of the front. Nearly 150,000 Vietnamese troops were compressed in a narrow area. They could not move or break through, but they could not get support. The vanguard of the Chinese army had even been "military" under the city, and the whole of Vietnam was about to be destroyed! Even for the Vietnamese army on the southern front, the situation is precarious. Although the central corridor is narrow and can be resisted, it has no effect on the Chinese army, because the Chinese army can completely carry out side attacks from the territory of Laos, which makes the Vietnamese regime, which has been lingering for more than a month, once again in the wind and rain! On the 3rd, the 140,000 Vietnamese troops besieged on the northern front surrendered. In the afternoon of that day, the northern part of Hanoi was blocked by the Chinese army. At the same time, the situation on the western defense line deteriorated sharply, and a Chinese army had cut off their contact with Hanoi. According to intelligence analysis, by about 10 a.m. on the 4th, they moved to the middle of the western part of Hanoi. The national army has exceeded 50,000, and the combination of the two sides has formed. At 6 p.m., nearly 80,000 Vietnamese troops surrendered. So far, there are less than 100,000 remaining 330,000 troops left in Vietnam, including more than 60,000 in Hanoi and the coastal defense zone, more than 30,000 in the southern line, and 80% of the country's troops have ceased to exist!
