Volume 5 Central South Storm Chapter 12 Ground Combat
Reports came one after another, Major General Xiang Yinghui, the commander-in-chief of the battle, gradually calmed down
After the end of the East China Sea War, Xiang Yinghui went to the National Defense University to study further, mainly studying strategy. Before the outbreak of the US-Iran War, Xiang Yinghui returned to the General Staff and was promoted to major general and served as director of the Operations Department of the General Staff. At this point, no one suspected that he would be the number one candidate for the next Chief of Staff, because Peng Maobang was also the Director of the Operations Department before becoming the Chief of Staff.
Under Peng Maobang's entrustment, Xiang Yinghui once again took on the heavy responsibility.
Compared with the East China Sea War, the "Counterattack Against Vietnam" is not only larger in scale, but also much more difficult to coordinate the combat between various arms. In addition to the air force and naval aviation that participated in the first phase of the strike operation, fleets, submarines, naval lands, army airborne troops, army armored forces, and special forces will all participate in the combat operation.
When planning the combat mission, Xiang Yinghui felt very stressed.
The three armies, navy and air forces are both; they act as the main force, and all military forces want to become "sharp knives". If Peng Maobang had not given all command power, just coordinating various military forces would have caused Xiang Yinghui to suffer. In addition to "man-made" reasons, how to reasonably and effectively utilize various combat forces is the biggest test.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the largest multi-army synthesis battle since the founding of the country.
If there is enough time, Xiang Yinghui will not be under such great pressure.
Peng Maobang only gave him 12 hours, and he had to complete the mobilization and deployment within 12 hours, determine the target of the attack, and assign the strike tasks.
12 hours, just a sleep time!
Although the main part of the war plan is ready-made, the war preparations must be completed within such a period of time. This is not only testing Xiang Yinghui's command ability, but also testing the achievements of the Republican reform.
During the day of the 22nd, Xiang Yinghui wished he could grow three arms and handle several things at the same time.
Fortunately, Xiang Yinghui has a very capable assistant: Pei Chengyi.
After obtaining his master's degree, Pei Chengyi obtained the rank of major and served as the chief of the combat planning section of the Operations Department. He became one of Xiang Yinghui's most important assistants.
When Xiang Yinghui coordinated various troops to farm, Pei Chengyi was responsible for assigning strike tasks to the participating troops.
This is a very cumbersome and very important task. Because the military reform has not been completely completed, the forces that can reach the battlefield within 12 are very limited. To allow the limited combat forces to maximize the strike effectiveness, allocating strike tasks is crucial.
Pei Chengyi did not disappoint Xiang Yinghui. At 17:30, he came up with a detailed list of strikes.
It was very detailed, so detailed that Xiang Yinghui was a little surprised. Pei Chengyi not only clarified the combat missions of land, sea and air, but also arranged clear targets for each participating force, and even arranged targets for each combat aircraft participating in the first round of bombing mission.
At less than 18 o'clock, the strike mission was distributed to various combat troops.
At this time, Xiang Yinghui took the time to have his first meal on the 22nd day.
Before receiving the first battle report, Xiang Yinghui was a little nervous. Although the Air Force proposed the arrangement of H-6k to use cruise missiles to perform the first round of assault missions, Pei Chengyi was finally confirmed.
Xiang Yinghui is a little worried about the performance of the h-6k and is even more worried about the strike capability of the cruise missile.
The first thing to strike is the long-range air defense alert radar provided by the United States to Vietnam with a maximum detection distance of 150c kilometers. The Vietnamese Air Force deployed 6 fixed air defense radars in the northern region, 8 fixed long-range air defense missile launch positions, 2 tactical air defense command centers located on the ground, and 3 ground communication transit stations also located on the ground.
These are 22 "special" targets that must be destroyed immediately after the war breaks out.
In the military terms of the Republic, the first round of assault is a "kicking door operation". Whether it can "kick open" the enemy's "gate" depends on whether the air strikes in the future can proceed smoothly. As long as the first round of assault is successful, the air defense alert system, long-range air defense system and communication system in northern Vietnam will be paralyzed for 2 to 2 hours. During this period, the next several rounds of aerial strikes will completely destroy the defense capabilities of northern Vietnam.
The result made Xiang Yinghui very satisfied. The first round of assault harvest was successful, and all 22 targets were destroyed.
At 19:55, the "Vulture" unaware aircraft, which was responsible for target identification and damage judgment, sent back photos of synthetic aperture radars after 22 targets were bombed.
After reading by the General Staff and the Technical Analysts of the Military Intelligence Bureau, it was confirmed that all 22 targets had lost their "function".
Since then, Xiang Yinghui no longer worried about anything.
Like the Fourth India-Pakistan War and the National Air Force assaulted India, after destroying Vietnam's air defense and command system, the airspace in northern Vietnam has been "opened" to the Republic's Air Force and Naval Air Force. In the next few hours, the Air Force and Naval Air Force will complete at least 80% of the combat strike mission. Before dawn, bombing will be transformed into a "tactical strike", focusing on eliminating the armored forces of the Vietnamese Army and laying the foundation for ground forces to participate in the war.
Xiang Yingdian was not excited when he received the battle report from the Navy.
The Air Force's J-14 can kill the Vietnamese Air Force's Su-27V heavy fighter jets without any effort, and the carrier-based aviation J-15b can easily kill the Vietnamese F-166 fighter jets.
During the East China Sea War, the F-22 posed a huge threat to the Republic's war institutions.
Now it's the Republic's turn~
Fighters have "torn" the enemy's third-generation fighter jets.
Before the end of the first round of strikes, the Navy's shore-based aviation and the carrier-based aviation team took action one after another, demonstrating the powerful strike strength of the Navy's aviation team.
Xiang Yinghui is most concerned about j-15b's performance.
With only dispatching 8j-15b, the 1st Battalion not only killed the Vietnamese Air Force's e-2c early warning aircraft in one fell swoop, but also destroyed the border and air bases and bombed nearly 20f-166 fighter jets.
Because Cam Ranh Bay and the border are located in the southern end of Vietnam, the damage is judged by the reconnaissance satellite.
It was not until 20:55 that the radar photos taken by the first reconnaissance satellite were sent to Xiang Yinghui's hands.
Although the result was not the most ideal, the Navy Air Force completed the established mission. The Vietnamese frigate stationed in Cam Ranh Bay, all 8 missile speedboats and 16 gunboats were destroyed by missiles. When the satellite passed over Cam Ranh Bay, nearly half of the Vietnamese warships had sank. The border and air force bases completely lost their ability to use. Not only were the fighter jets and transport planes parked on the ground destroyed, but the runway was also bombed into several pieces, which could not be used for aircraft takeoff and landing.
At this point, all the first rounds of strikes ended.
The war was not over. When Xiang Ying and Pei Chengyi confirmed the results, the first ground force had already arrived over Vietnam.
This is the 1533rd Battalion of the 153rd Airborne Brigade where Li Dongshi is located.
The transport group passed by northwest of Vietnam and was not attacked. The airborne troops on the transport plane did not know that in order to cover the aircraft group to go to the airborne location, the Air Force dispatched 24 fighter jets to open an "air corridor". Vietnamese air defense forces and ground troops within 20 kilometers on both sides of the transport plane group route were bombed.
As the red lights in the supercharged personnel cockpit turned into yellow lights, the soldiers of the three squads checked their equipment for the last time.
The plane tilted slightly forward, indicating that it was rapidly lowering its flight altitude.
The roar from the door leading to the cargo hold has increased significantly. The rear door of the transport aircraft has been opened, and the crew members are airdropping paratroopers fighting vehicles.
Li Dongshi glanced at the soldiers sitting in a row, and then gave a thumbs up.
The air pressure in the cabin has increased significantly, and the flight altitude must be below 30 meters above sea level.
The noise was a little smaller, indicating that the 3 paratroopers had left the transport plane.
Can Yuting land safely?
Li Dongshi just thought of this problem, and the plane quickly tilted to the left. After leveling, a green light lit up in the cabin.
"stand up--"
The squad leader got up first, and the soldiers of the squads walked to the left door one after another and lined up. At the end of the squad of Li Dongshi's squad, he also became the ground airborne at the end of the squad.
The cabin door opened, and a cold air flowed into the cabin. The airborne soldiers standing at the cabin door shivered slightly, then flew out of the cabin. The airborne soldiers left the aircraft one by one. When it was Li Dongshi's turn, he hesitated for a moment and then jumped into the night sky.
The dark earth was just below, and a huge force grabbed Li Dongshi.
Under the action of the air pressure gauge, the parachute automatically opened. Dozens of gray umbrella flowers appeared in the bright starry night sky, and not far ahead, there were another group of airborne soldiers floating in the air.
Li Dongshi grabbed the parachute rope on both sides and looked up at Xia Xinyue hanging in the air.
Too bright, too dazzling!
Hope all the enemies on the ground fall asleep!
After looking at the dark earth, Li Dongshi smiled bitterly. The noise of the transport plane was so loud that no matter how dead she slept, she would be awakened.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a few flashes appeared on the ground, and then several tracer bombs rose into the night sky.
"Damn it!" Li Dongshi cursed in a low voice and grabbed the parachute rope.
The parachute used by the airborne troops is not the paragliders of special forces. Its controllability is very poor and cannot be maneuvered at will. Before landing, the airborne troops had almost no resistance.
Fortunately, the skydiving height is only 200 meters, and the parachute opening height is less than 150 meters, and it only takes 20 meters to land.
As more and more tracer bombs rose into the night sky, the surroundings suddenly became brighter. Li Dongshi could even see other airborne soldiers nearby. Needless to say, all the airborne soldiers were in a nervous mood at this time, and no one wanted to get shot in the air.
Stepping on the solid ground, Li Dongshi rolled forward 2 meters and quickly untied the parachute.
When he put away his parachute, the six soldiers in the class rushed over one after another.
"Where is Xiao Zhang?"
"Here you." The last soldier ran over, "Squad leader, what should I do now?"
"Contact Luan Yuting and let him drive the chariot over." Li Dongshi took out the tactical map and positioning device, "Raincoat!"
The soldier next to him immediately took out his raincoat and put it on Li Dong's stone.
With the help of the faint light emitted by the locator screen, Li Dongshi confirmed the landing on the map. It was only less than 200 meters away from the scheduled location, which was a very good result.
When he put away the positioning instrument and tactical map, the paratrooper chariot driven by Luan Yuting came over.
When Li Dongshi led the officers and soldiers to Nonghei, the 3rd Battalion and the 1st Platoon, which landed near the Vietnamese position, had already exchanged fire with the Vietnamese army.
The ground battle has begun. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in to idianm. There are more chapters, support the author and support the genuine version!)
