Volume 10, Battle for Domination Volume 60, Dilemma 4

.

However, what the Americans did not expect was that when they tried their best to win the Singapore Battle, Zhao Gang's deep eyes had already shifted his gaze from Singapore to a more distant place. "If you want to take it first, you must give it first." This philosophy that contains the wisdom of China for five thousand years is something that shallow Americans cannot understand.

With the defeat of the war, China HNA's strategic passivity became more obvious. Another manifestation of this passivity is repeated fuel-added operations, each time, it waited until the aviation power in a certain war zone was weakened before it was slowly resupply, and the goal was only to restore its original scale.

In January of 2019, the US military had just entered the first squadron in Singapore. They were ordered to go to enemy airports from the beginning and used attacks as their main defense method from the beginning.

Now, the Fifth Air Force in Port Moresby and the bombers taken off at Henderson Airport almost every day as long as the weather conditions permit, bombers are dispatched to attack Bougainville and Radetlia. In addition, they are fatigue bombings in the morning, noon and evening. -17 and -24 drop bombs from high altitudes to main attack facilities and runways, -25 and fighter jets fire at low altitudes to kill large numbers of people and aircraft on the ground.

The US military has strengthened its strength in this uninterrupted attack, regardless of the comparison of quantity and quality, and has always insisted on fighting on the outside, as General Kenny of the Fifth Air Force said:

.o The Chinese realized this in the Battle of Britain. But for some reason, they did not implement it; the Americans realized this in New Guinea and continued to improve it in their future use;

The Chinese did not understand the advantages of our tactics. The result was that they were dragged into a tug-of-war again and again in unwilling areas, causing HNA to be completely damaged in the South China Sea air battle, and the mainland aviation was quickly collapsed, and eventually crushed by the huge war resources of the United States!

The same argument as this lieutenant general is also a U.S. military special pilot, Colonel Rudy Fen, wrote in his book

"At the end of 1916, the US Air Force had just entered Singapore +. The sexually-located opponent was full of confidence and comprehensive technology; but in less than half a year, the opponent had been wiped out by uninterrupted bombing and scrambling. The US military began to regain air supremacy in the South Ocean waters, and fighter pilots often had to go over enemy airports to find prey.

When I first arrived in Singapore, I encountered those Chinese pilots with good quality. Even a dive bomber would try to cut my inner circle, not to mention those golden eagles, who were confident in both steering and pitching. But obviously their planes and personnel were not well supplemented, and their quality was significantly reduced.

Those novices simply don't know how to use their fighter jets, and don't know how to drive the golden eagle and how to play its advantages. I'm happy to watch the war continue as it is now. They will definitely lose.

In China, with the failure of Singapore's air combat, the military has greatly accelerated the progress of training reserve pilots. Their approach is to simplify training. It shortens or even cancels formation flights, instrument navigation, simulated fighting and other projects. These new enlisted pilots don't even know how to fold the parachute bag. This overcorrection cannot make up for the sequelae brought by the previous elite military policy, but will further reduce the overall level of Chinese aviation."

"Dragon Cavalry-Forward"

However, these are conclusions drawn simply by looking at the superficial phenomena. In fact, Americans believe in their own strength too much and do not think deeply about it. Why did the quality of Chinese pilots decline so much when the pilots lost by China and the United States since the war started?

Under the intentional or unintentional induction of the Chinese, the Americans believed what they saw, and the advantages of air combat began to shift to their own side. Sometimes, winning is not a good thing, especially if this victory makes the opponent deliberately waterproof, it is even more terrifying. The Americans suddenly realized and began to accelerate toward hell.

During this period, the US military began to use the Vietnam-island combat in the South Pacific. In March 1917, the South Ocean waters were basically under the control of the US military. The Chinese army began to retreat to Cam Ranh Bay Island. Podeganst was still in the hands of the Chinese, but it was only a matter of time to occupy it. The Allies began to jump for the first time, crossing Podeganst and entering the Bismarck Sea.

The goal this time is a major city in the South Pacific, Radetlia, a sea and air fortress closely guarded by the Chinese army. The road along the south ocean north is full of hardships. The Americans used their strong national strength as a backing, and after spending considerable time and sacrifice, they took back the island step by step. The ultimate goal is not to occupy Radetlia itself, but to let the last drop of blood flow into China's HNA and Land Airlines in the tug-of-war.

There is no fixed rules for cross-island combat, but there is a basic principle, that is, every advancement must be within the coverage of shore-based aviation forces. Aircraft carriers are precious to the United States.

, you cannot casually engage in a tug-of-war with the opponent's shore-based aircraft, and the offensive has just been launched, and you cannot draw out the ship-based troops.

In this case, to completely paralyze Radetlia, we can only rely on the South Ocean Air Force in the South and the Fifth Air Force in New Guinea. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to occupy Podetganst. Bombers taking off from Singapore can attack the airports and ports of Radetlia. But there is no need to occupy the entire Podetganst Island, just establish an airport there.

Before landing, it is still necessary to completely clear the nearby Chinese aviation forces. The US military launched continuous strikes on these airports, and the Chinese army also knew the importance of these two strongholds. The runway was always repaired quickly, and the continuous replenishment of aircraft were sent down from Radtella and Truk. At the beginning of the month, more than 170 Chinese carrier-based aircraft transferred from Carolin Atoll to Radtella to strengthen their air power there.

After a series of movements, the Americans successfully forced the Chinese army north of Cam Ranh Bay, which was bombarded by the US Air Force every day, and everything showed that the balance of war began to tilt towards the Americans. The Americans began to build airports on newly obtained islands.

At this time, the Americans began to turn their attention to anti-submarines. China's submarine technology was very backward. This is completely understandable. China also has a vast sea area and a very powerful water fleet. There is no need to develop submarine forces at all. However, after the war started, Chinese submarines caused huge trouble to the United States. Especially a new submarine called "Feedlings", which caused huge trouble to the Americans (off topic: this submarine is exactly the same as the German furry).

These evil "sea dogs" were elusive and sent allied ships to the bottom of the sea. During the attack, torpedoes seemed to have become a deadly weapon, but the fact was not the case. The sharp teeth of the dog "So far, many people have misunderstandings about submarine warfare, believing that submarines would hide underwater and attack ships one by one with torpedo after another. In fact, because torpedoes are very precious (taking China's IXC-type ocean submarines as an example, they can only carry 22 torpedoes at a time, and early submarines were equipped with fewer torpedoes), most captains would leave it to save their lives.

Usually, Chinese submarines will warn the ship and wait for the crew to leave the ship before floating and attacking with deck cannons. If the opponent is armed, the submarine will injure it with torpedoes and then use artillery to clean up the mess. During World War II, China's Type I, Vii, IX and X submarines were equipped with powerful deck cannons. Each submarine was equipped with this weapon in front of the command tower enclosure. A skilled operator can shoot at a speed of 15-18/minute.

Deck guns are usually operated by 35 people led by the second-value submarine, and attack ships with severe damage or smaller tonnage. When using deck guns, the submarine must be in a normal water navigation state without air threats. At the same time, three crew members are also required to line up on the deck to transmit the shells from the main lock cabinet below the control compartment to the artillery. There is a small watertight ammunition lock cabinet on the deck, so that the cannon can react quickly and fire in time after the command is issued.

Among Chinese submarines, only the smaller Type II coastal submarines were not equipped with deck guns. In 1917, the Chinese Navy planned to build a Type 7 cruise submarine. This submarine was planned to be equipped with 412.7mm machine guns independently of each other, but was not built later. The type vii submarine was equipped with 88mm deck guns. This artillery was completely different from the most famous weapon during the war, the Chinese Army's 88mm guns. They even used completely different ammunition from each other. The submarine's 88mm deck gun fired ammunition of 12-14 grams of ammunition (the warhead weighed 9 kg), and the ammunition base was 250 rounds.

The setting sun is like blood, the north wind is like a knife, and the earth is desolate.

.:.In front, straight into the sky...

Behind the horse, two thousand elite cavalry slowly unfolded, and the iron armor was arguing, gathering into a torrent of steel, with a sharp spear and a cold flame of death flashing.

.:|The beautiful royal capital can be seen faintly in the domestic city. These proud Goguryeo people do not know how powerful they dare to fight with cavalry outside the city. It is simply to destroy the city! The city should be destroyed today!

Ma Yue turned around and smiled, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected his eyes, burning into two cold red flames, and the eyes of the two thousand soldiers were instantly focused on his face.

"Break the city and take three days off! Those who are the first to enter the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold medals!"

"Aowu~~"

As soon as Ma Yue finished speaking, the two thousand elite cavalry howled wildly, waving the steel knife and spear in their hands while howling. The wildfire had already ignited in his eyes, like a pack of wolves smelling blood, revealing bloody fangs.
