Chapter 39 The decisive battle in hours

The time to attack the Mangburg leads to the point of the blade... Pei Chengyi officially issued a battle action to start two, two divine points

Although the Indian army will respond quickly after the war breaks out, and if the Indian Air Force cannot be defeated and air supremacy is seized, the subsequent battle will become very difficult, Pei Chengyi is not in a hurry to achieve success. In the order assigned to the combat troops, it is clearly mentioned that the attack can only be launched after the navy defeats the Indian fleet.

To be precise, this is not Pei Chengyi's meaning, but Wang Yuanqing's meaning.

As a soldier, Pei Chengyi would never give the enemy any chance; but as a politician, Wang Yuanqing had to leave room for the Republic to circle.

Everyone knows that whether the Indian Ocean can seize the sea control power is related to the final result of the war against India.

Even Xiang Yinghui, Lin Xiaolei and Pei Chengyi are convinced that the navy can win, annihilate the Indian fleet, and become the master of the Indian Ocean, and the head of state cannot believe the one-sided words of soldiers. In other words, if there is a situation, even if it is only one in a billionth of possible, the navy will be frustrated in the battle and be blocked by the Indian fleet outside the gate of the Indian Ocean. Will the Republic continue the war?

Wang Yuanqing had to consider this possibility, so he had to reserve it.

In the case of the defeat of the navy, even if the army and the air force have absolute strength to defeat India, the Republic will pay an extremely high price for the war. The reason is very simple. When India has the power to control the Indian Ocean, Western countries led by the United States will definitely spare no effort to provide strategic support to India. The weapons, equipment, ammunition and medicine produced by American factories, food produced by American farms, and all war-related materials will continue to arrive at India's ports, becoming the main driving force for the Indian army to continue fighting.

A war of high attrition can only bring endless losses and casualties to the Republic.

Wang Yuanqing would not fight such a war, and would not take such risks.

From this we can see that Wang Yuanqing's idea is very simple. If the navy is defeated, at most troops will be sent to Sikkim to expel the Indian army stationed in Sikkim and help Sikkim establish a country. If the navy wins, he will take advantage of the victory to pursue, expand the scale of the war, and completely defeat India.

The key is whether the navy can enter the Indian Ocean and annihilate the Indian fleet.

This requirement makes the first round of strikes extremely troublesome.

According to common sense, after the war breaks out, the Republic's Air Force will be dispatched in full swing, and the Army will also participate in the battle, seize air supremacy as soon as possible, blow up strategic goals in India, and add to India's military power. However, the navy cannot defeat the enemy in an instant and seize sea supremacy, so it will have to give the navy several hours of operation.

No matter how careful the combat plan is, these few hours must be set aside.

Of course, after the war breaks out, the attack cannot be delayed for a long time.

How much time did the navy give? When Pei Chengyi formulated a war plan and thugs, it was later reduced to the mouth. After several bargaining, the navy reduced this requirement to 8 hours. In the end, Pei Chengyi only gave the navy 6 hours. The war broke out at 0:4, which means that the navy must annihilate the Indian fleet before 6:00.

What tests the Republic's Navy is not the powerful Indian fleet, but the short decisive battle time.

As the fleet commander, Hua Jianfeng was very proud of what he could do for 6 hours.

With the attack radius of about 1,000 meters, even if the attack aircraft group is sent in advance, the Indian fleet will be attacked after the war breaks out, saving half the time required for attack waves. Only two rounds of attacks can be carried out. Is the navy confident of annihilation of the Indian fleet in two rounds of attacks?

Until the war broke out, Hua Jianfeng was not sure.

The reason is very simple. The submarine only discovered the Western Indian Fleet that reached the western waters of Sumatra, and did not find the Eastern Indian Fleet for the time being. Although the reconnaissance satellites gained some results on the afternoon of Blade Day, it was roughly concluded that the Eastern Indian Fleet was active in the Bay of Bengal in the western part of Andaman-Nicobar Islands, but many hours had passed. The Eastern Indian Fleet was enough to maneuver hundreds of kilometers during this period and could not launch an attack on it.

Hua Jianfeng was not unprepared, otherwise he would not have taken the lead in launching an attack.

After the attack aircraft group set off, the three carrier-based aviation corps of the East China Sea Fleet each sent a dart to carry large secondary fuel tanks and reconnaissance pods. Xiaozhao's main task is to control air and naval ship-based models, especially this. However, after adopting modular avionics equipment, Xiaopeng can complete the task transformation within 2 hours and perform various tactical tasks, including reconnaissance. What needs to be done is to install new radar control software for fighters, and carry pods for performing reconnaissance tasks in the bomb bay. If necessary, you can also carry missiles from defense. If the mission distance is long, you can carry large external auxiliary fuel tanks.

Under the mission mode of the observation distance, Xiaopeng's combat radius is as high as a stone force of kilometer, and the prerequisite is to cruise at subsonic speed. Only when approaching the target is approached, it can fly at supersonic speed. Including the search and detection distance of the target on the sea surface of the fire control radar, and the locking and tracking distance of the photoelectric detection equipment in the reconnaissance pod is as high as a kilometer. The old scattered operation, its fire control radar can cover the entire Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Even if it is limited by the mission and combat radius, "Zheng Xiaopeng still has a great enough chance to discover the distance between Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and sea ships within a kilometer range.

Hua Jianfeng has enough reason to believe that the eastern Indian fleet is within this range.

Of course, it was not the navy that was fighting alone.

Before the bombing operation began, an ultra-high-altitude long-distance unmanned reconnaissance aircraft detoured thousands of kilometers along the eastern border of Myanmar. These unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are equipped with millimeter-wave synthetic aperture radars specially used to search sea surface targets. When the flight altitude is 100 meters, it can detect sea surface ships within a radius of 1,000 meters. Because they are equipped with solar panels laid on the upper surface of the wing of the composite power supply, they rely on the electrical energy provided by the solar panels to drive the propulsion motor during the day and charge the composite battery during the night, and rely on the composite battery to drive the propulsion motor. Therefore, the battery life of these unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is all

More than a week is not determined by propulsion energy, but by the aircraft's failure cycle. That is to say, if you can wander around the war zone without logistical support, when you are in the absence of logistical support, you may be attacked by India's air defense systems and fighter jets. When you arrive at the dangerous area, you need to activate the active electromagnetic interference system and the active laser photoelectric interference system. These devices will consume a lot of electricity, thereby shortening the battery life. In some extreme cases, the maximum battery life will not exceed that of the time of the battery life. Even so, it is enough for the Republic Navy, which is about to enter the Indian Ocean.

In addition to reconnaissance aircraft, the Republic also mobilized more than half of military reconnaissance satellites.

As early as after the Japanese War, all military reconnaissance satellites were handed over to the Military Intelligence Bureau for management. In order to support the navy, the Military Intelligence Bureau adjusted the flight path of the reconnaissance satellite on the afternoon of the Blade Day to ensure that every time the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal were searched, it was time to search for the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal. In order not to miss any clues, the Military Intelligence Bureau also mobilized all intelligence analysts to concentrate all its forces to handle tactical reconnaissance photos. Although the probability of military reconnaissance satellites discovering the eastern Indian fleet is only about kelp, relying on the intelligence provided by the reconnaissance satellites, the reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft sent by the fleet can focus on searching for the sea areas ignored by the satellite, thereby increasing the probability of discovering the eastern Indian fleet.

If it is a naval submarine operating in the Bay of Bengal, there are a total of four forces looking for the eastern Indian fleet.

In the words of Hua Jianfeng, all the warships of the eastern Indian fleet can hide under the sea like submarines. As long as they have to float to the water and breathe, they will not be able to escape the sprinkled net of heaven and earth.

Molowan, commander of the Eastern Indian fleet, was not clear about this.

When he received the news that a military base on the Nicobar Islands in Andaman was bombed, General Molowan was busy dealing with the latest news from the Navy Command.

As Fernandez's main subordinate, Molovan did not think about the tactical intentions of the Navy Command.

Before the case, Molovan was able to squeeze out Widet and become the commander of the Eastern Fleet, which was closely related to Fernandez's promotion. At that time, the Eastern Fleet was the number one fleet of the Indian Navy. Not only did it have aircraft carriers, the only medium-sized aircraft carriers that the Indian Navy would deploy in the Eastern Fleet, but also had large surface warships and submarines irrigated by the Indian Navy. This deployment was completely in line with India's strategic needs, because Pakistan to the west had a little background in addition to several fully electric submarines, and its surface fleet

Not worth mentioning, it is impossible to pose a threat to the Indian Navy, so what the Indian Navy needs to be wary of is the enemy from the east, that is, the Chinese Navy that has long wanted to enter the Indian Ocean. Only by placing its main force in the east can we defend several important maritime roads entering the Indian Ocean. With India purchasing a third medium-sized aircraft carrier from the UK and later receiving the US super aircraft carrier, the Indian Navy deployed an aircraft carrier battle group in the Western fleet, striving to completely suppress the Pakistani Navy and gain control of the Arabian Sea.

At that time, Molowan proposed to establish a second large naval base in Kakinada or Chennai south of Visakhapatnam, deploying all aircraft carrier fleets in the eastern fleet, concentrating efforts to blockade the Malacca Strait and the Sunda Strait. However, this proposal did not even support Fernandez. The reasons are very complicated, such as the construction of a second naval base costs billions, and the risk of putting all eggs in one basket is too high, etc. The most important thing is that no one wants to let a fleet commander control all the possessions of the Indian Navy.

Although there are some setbacks, Molowan has been doing well in recent years.

According to speculations within the Indian Navy, after Fernandez leaves office, he will be the Indian Navy staff.

If this is true, Molowan only lacks one condition, that is, to prove his ability on the battlefield.

There is no doubt that Molowan is very eager to reap several major results.

Upon hearing the outbreak of the war, Molowan immediately became excited, but was soon sprinkled with cold water.

The war broke out, but no one could tell how it broke out.

The message sent to the Eastern Fleet was very vague, only mentioning that dozens of military targets, including air and naval bases, were bombed on the Andaman-Nicobar Islands, but not mentioning what kind of fighter aircraft was bombing, or even where the enemy planes entered.

This cannot be blamed on the Indian soldiers behind, because they really don’t understand it.

When the bombing began, the first ones were bombed were the air defense alert radar on North Andaman Island, the air defense command center outside the Blair Port, and several long-range air defense missile positions. The missiles were launched outside the radar detection range. In order to extend the flight time, the missiles attacking the air defense alert radar first flew south for hundreds of kilometers and then turned to launch an attack. The missiles attacking the air defense command center flew southwest and then turned. In this case, the Shuangdawei was blown up! The missiles that were stolen before were found, and they could not determine the six directions.

The "eyes" were knocked out, making it even more impossible for the Indian army to know which bomber was launching the attack from which direction.

Even if you don’t know who the enemy is, how can you fight this battle?

Molowan did not hesitate and immediately contacted the garrison headquarters of Andaman-Nicobar Islands and Port Blair, asking for the specific situation to be found out as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the Andaman-Nicobar Islands are under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Fleet Command of India. Port Blair is a local port of the Eastern Fleet of India. Molowan can directly issue orders to the two agencies.

Time passed minute by minute, and Molowan was still waiting for the latest news.

During this period, he had planned to contact the Western Fleet, but thought that Widet might not respond, so he gave up on this plan.

New Delhi time was ugly, and in the old minutes after the war broke out, Molowan received a very important news.

The defenders of Port Blair found a bomb that did not explode and concluded it was a gliding bomb, and it was most likely a bomb used by Chinese naval carrier-based fighters.

Now Molowan was excited again

Although gliding bombs are weapons outside the defense zone, with a drop distance of several kilometers and a distance of hundreds of kilometers, the bombs are not missiles and their range is far inferior to cruise missiles. From this, it can be concluded that the one who dropped the bomb is likely to be fighter jets, because bombers will only use bombs to attack ground targets after they seize absolute air supremacy. It can also be concluded that the ones that bomb Port Blair are likely to be carrier-based fighters, because the shore-based fighters of the Chinese Air Force and the Navy cannot attack Port Blair.

Most importantly, the number on the bomb indicates that it was a Chinese Navy bomb.

Here, the Indian soldiers in Port Blair made a mistake, that is, they ignored the joint logistics support mechanism of the Chinese army.

After establishing the joint combat mechanism, the Republic's army spent a lot of effort to unify logistics management, including unified management of ammunition from various services. In other words, the ammunition used by the Republic's Air Force and Navy aviation forces is basically the same, but there are differences in specific numbers. For example, the difference between the naval aviation bomb number "the air force is "the tripod". The difference is impossible to determine the type of bomb dropped. In fact, the air force bombs dropped by the air bomb transferred from the navy.

Indian soldiers also made a mistake, which was to ignore the throwing distance of gliding bombs.

Before attacking the target, the gliding bomb will throw away the wings on the back of the trajectory to increase the flight speed of the last section of the ballistic, and rely only on the aerodynamic wing surface at the tail to control the bomb's flight trajectory. In this way, the Indian army "selected" only a bomb without explosion, not a whole bomb. After the gliding bomb wings are separated from the bomb, they will quickly disintegrate in the air, leaving some fragments of centimeters. Even if they are not completely disintegrated, they will fall to pieces when they land. If the Indian soldiers are a little careful, they should find that the wings used by these gliding bombs are much larger than ordinary ones and much more complicated. The only purpose of improving the wings is to increase the bomb throwing distance. As long as this is clear, the defenders of Port Blair should clearly mention in the report that the throwing distance of the gliding bomb is likely to be more than kilometers or even farther.

If Molowan knew this, he would not have arbitrarily believed that the ones bombing Port Blair were tactical fighters, not strategic bombers. Because at 2 kilometers away, except for the few fighters that were performing air defense patrol missions at the time, India's ground air defense system could not threaten the bombers at all. At that time, the fighter performing patrol missions did not start the radar and was guided by ground air defense radar. In this way, before being bombed, the fighter could not find bombers a thousand meters away, and it would not be possible to pose a threat to the bombing agency.

A few small mistakes eventually led to big mistakes.

According to Molowan's inference, the Chinese naval fleet must have entered the Strait of Malacca and is likely to leave the Strait of Malacca.

After calculating the bombing scale, Molowan concluded that the six aircraft carrier battle groups of the Chinese Navy sent all fighter jets.

As for how the Chinese fleet entered the Strait of Malacca without any warning, Molowan didn't think much about it. Since the Chinese fleet could avoid the US military reconnaissance satellite after leaving the port, it would have the ability to avoid the US Seventh Fleet guarding Singapore.

The purpose of the Chinese fleet bombing of the Andaman-Nicomao Islands was also clear.

Only by destroying the island's military facilities can the Chinese fleet enter the Andaman Sea without being threatened and find the Indian fleet to fight to the decisive battle.

Although this judgment is different from the previous combat plan, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and no combat strategy can accurately predict the enemy's actions. It is normal for changes to occur. After all, the Indian Navy focuses on monitoring the Sunda Strait. It is reasonable for the Chinese fleet to choose to enter the Indian Ocean from the Malacca Strait without knowing that it is impossible to pass through the Sunda Strait safely.

After seeing the situation clearly, all we have to do is to kill the Chinese fleet entering the Indian Ocean.

Before Molowan could adjust his deployment, a message made him completely desperate.

The ugly time in New Delhi is Feng's point, that is, when Beijing time attracts Japanese thugs, the western Indian fleet was attacked by a joint sea and air force.

After reading the messages received by the website several times, Molowan suddenly became cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

Wydert's Western fleet was hit. Where is the Chinese fleet?
