Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 127 Air Counterattack
Shou Wei is mobilizing general Huang... Yuan Chenhao is also paying close attention to the battlefield.
After confirming that the low-altitude strike force of the Assault Division arrived in Malatia, Yuan Chenhao immediately contacted Li Dongshi and asked him to hand over the command of the attack on Diyabaker to Ling Yunxiao to be responsible for the command of low-altitude combat. Of course, Yuan Chenhao did not forget the more important thing, and asked the staff to send backup plans to the three strike battalions of the 10th combat unit support brigade "and let these air forces scattered on the battlefield concentrate on Gong Erding, Silter and Batman. After these things, it was already evening. To be on the safe side, Yuan Chenhao contacted Mei Lechi and asked him to arrange air force or naval fighter jets to focus on bombing the US aviation base in Malatia in the first half of the night.
It must be admitted that in terms of being ruthless, Yuan Chenhao looks very much like Pei Chengyi. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao and 8 Si, please log in to read
Compared with Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao prefers to play with methods.
From this deployment, it can be seen that from the beginning, Yuan Chenhao did not put the attack on Yabakel in the first place, or he did not think it was difficult to attack Diyabakel. Because the Fourth Assault Division arrived in Turkey day and night, Yuan Chenhao locked in the target before adopting Li Dongshi's suggestion.
Although in the eyes of many people, the Duqi event allowed the No. 1 Gang Assault Division to participate in the combat operations of besieging the Eighth Combat Unit, thus quickly eliminating the Republican army on the western battlefield, but those with some common sense know that Duqiwei could not do this. There are two reasons: First, the No. 1 Gang Assault Division is an assault unit that is good at fighting mobile warfare. Instead of armored units that are good at fighting position attacks, letting it attack Bahce's eighth Combat Unit is simply a death; second, after killing the eighth Combat Unit, one must kill the fifth combat unit, so Duqiwei can allow the US army to advance eastward. It is impossible for the US military to eat two combat units before Diyabaker fell, so it should not waste too much troops on the western battlefield.
Because Duchiwei had accepted the fact that he was defeated on the eastern battlefield and just wanted to hold back the pace of the Republic's army and gain enough time to win the western battlefield, he would not put the Fourth Assault Division on the western battlefield, but should make full use of the division's powerful tactical maneuverability to build a new line of defense west of Maiyabakr to block the Republic's army's advance.
Based on these factors, Yuan Chenhao had enough reason to believe that the attacking division of the Gang would come quickly.
If you are not prepared enough, it is the lowest level mistake to let the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit attack Diyabakir under the threat of the Central Assault Division.
After adopting Li Dongshi's combat plan, Yuan Chenhao only did one thing, which was to let the low-altitude combat forces of the support brigade of the 10th combat unit scattered on the battlefield gradually end the combat operation, and to move closer to Mardin, Silter and Bartman in an orderly manner, and prepare for participating in air combat.
Yuan Chenhao did not allow the low-altitude troops to gather quickly, but he just didn't want to alarm the enemy.
Imagine that if Duchewei discovered that the low-altitude strike forces of the Republic Army began to gather, he would definitely have some concerns when mobilizing the old thug assault division, which would make Yuan Chenhao miss the opportunity to annihilate the only assault force of the US military, and would also miss the opportunity to expand the results of the war and lay victory.
In order to do it more realistically, Yuan Daihao even launched several irrelevant attacks in other directions.
For example, in the direction of Mardin, Yuan Chenhao asked the Iraqi army, who performed well, to capture Kiziltaipei, and asked the troops sent by Pei Chengyi to march westward, as if they were preparing to fight in the Syrian-Turkey border area. Using this as bait, he allowed the thugs of the tenth combat unit to rush over and assist the Iraqi army in fighting. For example, in the direction of Fancheng, Yuan Chenhao asked the Iranian army responsible for defense to attack northward, which seemed to be providing cover for the individual artillery brigades of the first battle in the area. In fact, it was meaningless, because the Turkish army in the north of Fancheng had no ability to go south at all, Yuan Chenhao also sent a low-altitude strike battalion. Finally, in the direction of Tatwan, because the Turkish army had been harassing the Iranian team stationed there, Yuan Chenhao used the trick and sent the last low-altitude strike battalion of the tenth combat unit.
Some people may think that Yuan Chenhao's actions are simply a cover-up.
How powerful the low-altitude strike force of the Republic Army is, I'm afraid Duqiwei is better than Yuan Chenhao. Let the three low-altitude strike battalions perform the "smoking" mission unless the commander's mind is in the water, otherwise he will have other plans. The problem is that the air force of the tenth combat unit has not completed the deployment. From the time he participated in the war, the air force of the tenth combat unit has been doing one thing, that is, to help the front-line combat troops transport combat supplies. This is a matter of no choice.
The transportation facilities in southeastern Turkey are too bad and cannot use strategic airlift forces, so tactical airlift forces can only take on the heavy responsibility of logistical support. Because the deployment capacity of the front-line base is very limited, it is difficult to deploy low-altitude attack aircraft after increasing the combat burden of the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft fleet. In fact, the forces of the three low-altitude strike battalions fighting on the front line are not satisfied, and most of the troops are watching the fun in the rear, and only a few troops are active on the battlefield.
Whether Duchewei attaches importance to the strength of the Republic's Army Air Force or not, he will not ignore the objective
exist.
Of course, the actual situation has quietly changed.
With the opening of the railway line to Fancheng, Mardin...the war-driven airport was put into use. The infrastructure of Silter Airport was restored. Be careful to compare with the use of Batman Airport. Not only did the material transportation problem be solved, but there were also enough places to deploy 3 low-altitude strikes.
Yuan Chenhao kept trying not to let the low-altitude attack aircraft come on the field, and all he was waiting for was the opportunity to fight the assaulter.
You should know that the combat effectiveness of the low-altitude strike battalion of the tenth combat unit is definitely not exaggerated. Because there are only three battalions, in terms of scale, the three battalions surpassed the previous reinforcement battalions. According to the Defense Blue Book published by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic in Lili Year, the 10th combat single support brigade has a low-altitude attack aircraft! From this, it can be roughly calculated that the three battalions each have a cluster...Yes! That is, each battalion has 8 companies. Under normal organization, "there are only 4 companies. When strengthening the organization, there are only 6 companies. In other words, the scale of the strike battalion is equivalent to the 6 battalions under normal organization.
When the troops have a certain combat capability, expanding their scale is equivalent to enhancing combat effectiveness.
More importantly, the performance of vcd...2 Shao has greatly improved the exit model. It is also the first low-altitude attack aircraft equipped with active defense systems, so it can fight under the threat of enemy air defense firepower and complete combat tasks. Because the US military's small invasion began to design before... and the US Army proposed at the beginning that it had low-altitude air control capabilities, that is, a certain ultra-low-altitude air combat capability, so the Republic Army also put forward similar requirements for its combat capabilities, that is, when necessary, it can hang air-to-air weapons and compete with the enemy's low-altitude combat aircraft for air supremacy.
It can be seen that no one has considered fighting with fighter jets.
During the Indian War, practical actions proved that within a low altitude range of 2 fields from the ground, the Air Force's tactical fighter jets were difficult to pose a threat to low-altitude attack agencies. To be precise, as long as the pilots of low-altitude attack aircraft can make full use of the terrain and the agility of the attack aircraft, they can avoid the attack of tactical fighters. Because in ultra-low-altitude combat, affected by terrain and combat airspace, any aircraft will find it difficult to exert their speed advantage, so much faster fighter jets are not opponents of more agile attack aircraft. According to the results announced by the Republic Army, … Irrigation shot down at least the Knife-rack fighter jets of the Indian Air Force during the Indian War, and 10,000 of them were shot down with machine guns, and the other was shot down by anti-tank missiles launched during the takeoff.
Because low-altitude attack aircraft have thick armor, they are not afraid of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. They use power-induced firing technology and put two spiral magnetic induction thrusters on the back of the fuselage. This solves the fatal defect of the exposure of the propulsion device, and uses an integral box armor on the abdomen of the fuselage, which greatly improves the protection capability. According to the internal tests conducted by the Republic Army, in front of anti-aircraft guns with a blade below millimeter caliber, there is basically no need to avoid it. Because it is equipped with an active defense system, it does not need to avoid it when encountering portable air defense missiles.
In the words of the Republic Army, it is a flying tank.
More importantly, this is still a very flexible "flying tank".
Although according to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the two strike brigades of the Fourth Assault Division were equipped with nearly 4 low-altitude attack aircraft in total, in order to make up for the gap in strike capabilities, the Military Intelligence Bureau has confirmed that the 3 thugs are definitely not equipped with active defense systems. In fact, as a low-altitude attack aircraft that adopts traditional propulsion systems, it is difficult to equip active defense systems with very high requirements for power supply. Although the US Army shortly after serving, it was required to use the Air Force method to add a set of highs to it.
It can be used to recombinate the battery and is equipped with an active defense system. However, as a relatively cheap low-altitude attack aircraft, not only has limited internal improvement space, but also has very limited available weight, and the price problem is more prominent. More importantly, there was no air combat between low-altitude attack aircraft before, and no one knew the value of the active defense system in ultra-low-altitude air combat with aerial cannons as the main weapon. Therefore, after measuring various factors, the US Army gave up the modification and said that at night, three low-altitude strike battalions were assembled.
At this time, Li Dongshi also knew Yuan Chenhao's real intention. Although Yuan Chenhao used his tactics, Li Dongshi did not have random thoughts. No matter what, defeating the enemy is the top priority. The new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao plus 8 Ao, please log in to read
Because the tenth combat unit was established as a combat unit with assault capabilities, and Xiang Yinghui had already decided to let Li Dongshi command this unit, so as early as the year of injury, Li Dongshi participated in relevant training and specifically learned the tactics of low-altitude combat. After the tenth combat unit was established, it continued to gather in the southwest region, and the main topic of scraping training was how to fully and effectively exert the combat power of low-altitude troops. In fact, the choice to practice in the southwest region was because the rugged terrain in the region best tested the combat capabilities of low-altitude troops.
As a commander of the airborne army, Li Dongshi also knows the importance of low-altitude combat.
After receiving Yuan Chenhao's order, Li Dongshi arranged combat missions for the three strike battalions in an orderly manner.
At this time, the second assault division was low
Relatively speaking, the US military is more eager to need air support. In fact, it is precisely because of the US military that needs air support that Duqiwei will fight the old thugs day and night.
Compared with the US military, the strike battalion of the 10th combat unit has another advantage, that is, it does not have to perform ground strike missions.
According to the combat plan formulated by Yuan Chenhao, ground strike missions are not required before defeating the US low-altitude strike forces. In other words, the three battalions of near-small low-altitude attack aircraft will all play the role of "low-altitude fighter jets" and strive to seize ultra-low-altitude air supremacy.
Thugs: This battle between day and night is destined to be recorded in history.
From the perspective of the US military, it can only be described as "inferiority".
While the fleet was preparing to set off, the US military base in Malatia and the airport requisitioned by the US military were hit by Republic fighters. Although limited by actual conditions, Melechi only sent two brigades of small urging multi-purpose fighters, and all of them used long-range ammunition to launch attacks in Iranian airspace hundreds of kilometers away. However, this timely bombing operation forced the leaping aircraft group of the Assault Division to be divided into several batches and put into battle, thus causing the US military to lose its only advantage. It eventually changed the results of the battle that night.
Imagine that if four aircraft were engaged in battle at the same time and fought with...day by eliminating thugs, the one who would probably end up being the strike battalion of the tenth combat unit. You should know that in low-altitude air combat, missiles are almost useless, and what is really useful is the artillery. In other words, low-altitude air combat occurs within the visual range, and there is no such thing as exceeding the visual range air combat. In this kind of battle, the outcome is definitely not performance, but quantity. It is like an archer who can knock down several enemies a hundred steps away, and in close combat with hand-to-hand combat, unless the strength is too different, one person can't beat two people at all. This is the truth that two fists cannot beat four palms.
Without the numerical advantage, the US military will not have much chance of winning.
In the first round of battle, the US military lost dozens of aircraft. Although the US military also shot down many mountain wounds in the fierce battle, all the attack missions failed to reach the sky above the battlefield. It was even more impossible to complete the ground strike mission.
By the time the US military commander discovered the problem, it was too late to change the situation.
In the thugs' attack, although the Republic's Army Air Force also lost about the attack, it successfully stopped the US military's strike, protected the ground forces that were attacking Diyabakir, and thus gained the initiative in the war.
In the early morning of the day of the entrance, the US military gave up its ground strike and made every effort to seize air supremacy.
The fierce ultra-low altitude air battle continued until dawn, and both sides gradually withdrew from the battlefield.
According to relevant news released by the US Army, on the side of the thugs’ verbal fight.
As the first air battle to be sung by a low-altitude attack aircraft, the battle was written into military textbooks of both sides.
It was also after this air battle that the military strategists on both sides began to discuss and explore the tactics of ultra-low altitude air force.
In fact, at the end of the Middle East War, the Republic's Army Air Force secretly adjusted the performance and technical indicators of the project, no longer blindly pursued the ground strike capabilities of the strongman, and also listed the ultra-low-altitude air combat capabilities, and required the ability to seize ultra-low-altitude air supremacy. The US Army's movements were not slow. After slowing down the development, the thugs secretly started a pound. A special project, namely, a low-altitude combat aircraft with the main task of seizing ultra-low-altitude air supremacy, was developed separately.
Of course, these are all later stories.
Because the 1st Assault Division failed to complete its combat mission, that is, it was unable to severely damage the 10th and 1st combat units that besieged Maiyabaker, on the morning of the mouth day, Duqiwei had to order the 7th Infantry Division and the 1st Strategic Division guarding the area to begin breaking west.
In fact, Duqiwei had long expected that the stern assault division could not change the situation.
In his opinion, "The thugs had only one result in the day and night battle, that is, forcing the Republic Army to slow down the offensive speed. After capturing Diyabakir, they must stop their pace and reorganize the offensive forces. In this way, the US military can organize defenses in Siverek.
Strictly speaking, the operation of the Tikang Assault Division did not have much effect.
Because the ground troops of the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit were not greatly affected, and the vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft group responsible for transporting combat materials did not suffer losses in the day and night battles of the thugs, after occupying Maiyabakr, Yuan Chenhao was able to allow the ground troops to continue to attack westward. Before the US military deployed its defense, occupy Siverek and dismantle Duchiwei's defense.
.
The problem is that in the afternoon of the mouth, shortly after the US military began to break through, Pei Chengyi issued an order to stop the attack.
Now, the first combat unit and the tenth battle had to stop at Diyabakir, waiting for the next instructions.
