"What are the General Staff's considerations and arrangements for this situation?" Vice Chairman Liu asked. After emphasizing the difficulties, he needed to see if the General Staff's answer was the same as he thought.

"The General Staff's combat plan is to strengthen the air force on Yongxing Island and Taiping Island, which have been relatively complete in our construction and implementation, and each dispatches a main J-11C fighter jet regiment. Yongxing Island is close to various bases on the coast of the Vietnamese army. The J-11C heavy fighter jets improved by our army are not inferior to the SU-35, and can maintain strong air pressure on Vietnam.

A J-11C main force stationed on Taiping Island can cover the entire Nansha Islands to the south, deter the Philippine army from the east, and echo the Yongxing Island to the west and maintain the deterrence against the Vietnamese Air Force. Once the Nansha Islands are recovered, our army will immediately organize larger islands such as Nanwei Island, Zhongye Island, Xiyue Island, and Feixin Island, and strive to place another J-11C main force on these four islands, forming two J-11C main force teams in Nansha, cooperating with about 3 battalions of marines, plus air defense missile systems and the newly formed Nansha Destroyer Detachment, without the interference of foreign forces, our island protection forces will be fully capable of persisting until the arrival of the naval main fleet."

With nearly 100 advanced J-11C fighter jets that can fight against each other, their power is enough to stand out in the South China Sea countries. Although the power of a driving and protection detachment is weaker than that of the navies of some countries, with the support of air superiority, it is not something that the South China Sea countries can defeat after fighting every once in a while.

The General Staff’s plan carefully considered the strength of the naval and air force of the South China Sea countries. Without the intervention of external forces, it is obviously not a force that they dare to shake easily for the South China Sea countries. It should be more certain to defend the Nansha Islands.

After hearing this, Vice Chairman Liu nodded frequently. In this arrangement, we invested more than 2,000 people in the Nansha Islands. The pressure on logistics support is not too great, but the combat power is very considerable. It can be said that in most cases, we can deal with the challenges of all parties in the South China Sea alone. For the large-scale development of offshore oil and gas fields in the South China Sea, with such a force as a backing, we will never encounter unreasonable driving away by outsiders again.

"Did the Marine Corps select a unit?" Vice Chairman Liu suddenly asked.

"After the exercise begins, we temporarily consider using the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the South China Sea Fleet to capture and defend the western islands of Nanwei Island, such as Nanwei Island, and the 1st Battalion of the 66th Battalion of the Pacific Fleet to capture Zhongye Island, Xiyue Island, and Feixin Island. After completing the combat mission, we will hand it over to the 2nd Battalion of the Land Fleet to defend. In this battle, except for Nanwei Island, which is a tough battle, the capture of other islands will not be much difficult, and the main problems will be concentrated on later garrison. Our army will follow up with the rotational combat method to realize the practical exercises of the three continental combat brigades of the Navy."

The General Staff thinks that Vice Chairman Liu is also very satisfied. As for the army, how can he improve his combat power without pulling out and practicing more? The countries in the South China Sea are generally not strong except for the Yue Monkey, so it is just right for the people below to practice. In Vice Chairman Liu's eyes, they are just small fish and shrimps. The real opponent is the behemoth of the US aircraft carrier formation that is swaying in the South China Sea.

The end of the Diaoyutai war does not mean that the competition with the US military will end. On the contrary, Vice Chairman Liu expected that this time had just begun in the process of China's rise, and strong collisions with the US military will inevitably be inevitable in the future. The strong will always win the future in bloody battles. Without the main victorious country in World War I and World War II, the Americans would not be able to become a world hegemony. If the Chinese nation wants to break this hegemony, it will inevitably require one victory after another.

"How to consider in dealing with the threat of the US military?" Vice Chairman Liu asked. The deployment of this force against the South China Sea countries is considered to be a killer. The key to solving the South China Sea problem is to focus on how to deal with the threat and interference of the US military.

"According to our intelligence, the US military stationed two F-35 squadrons at the Ficclark Air Force Base. If our army improves the radar warning system of the Nansha Islands and reefs, the US military will only dispatch two F-35 squadrons, and relying on the two J-11C main groups of HNA's Nansha Defense Line, it is enough to deal with the situation in the Nansha.

However, if the US military dispatches aircraft carrier-based aircraft fleets again, our army can only rely on the island's air defense system to deal with the enemy, waiting for the assistance of bases such as Hainan, Yongxing Island, etc., Yongxing Island Air Force fighters can arrive at the battlefield in half an hour and directly participate in the battle. The fighter jets taken off at the Hainan base can also reach the battlefield for up to one and a half hours after receiving air refueling."

"It will take at least half an hour for US fighter jets to arrive at the Nansha Islands after taking off from Clark Air Force Base. In other words, our Yongxing Island reinforcements will arrive almost simultaneously with the US fighter jets. With the support of HNA's three J-11C main groups, with the support of the island's air defense system, they should be able to persist in reaching the main fighter jets of the Hainan base air force."

"In the maritime battlefield, we will keep 6 to 8 submarines patrolling and fighting in the South China Sea for many years. If the US aircraft carrier formation is confirmed to be ready to participate in the war, our submarine forces will carry out decisive strikes. According to the experience of tracking the Ford aircraft carrier last time, if the 039A or 041 class submarines are deployed, our submarines will have at least three-quarters of the chance to approach the effective combat range of 20 nautical miles of the US aircraft carrier. In addition to the three Destroyer UAV special battalions and shore-based anti-ship missile systems, our army has a high probability of severely damaging the US aircraft carrier formation."

"From the sea and air battle between Diaoyutai and Taiwan, even the Aegis system defense is difficult for the Destroyer UAV to cooperate with shore-based anti-ship missiles. The main air defense force of the US aircraft carrier formation is 2 to 3 air defense cruisers or destroyers. The fleet's air defense power is not much different from the Japanese escort group. If the Air Force can entangle their carrier-based aircraft and have no air opponents, the high-altitude dive attack of the Destroyer UAV is very effective for a behemoth like an aircraft carrier."

With the South China Sea islands, just like several aircraft carriers that never sink, the General Staff’s combat plan is not only in extreme situations, such as the situation where the South China Sea countries and the US military attack together on a full-line attack, but it has taken into account all kinds of wars under local conflicts, which is a well-prepared reference plan.

After hearing this battle, Vice Chairman Liu nodded. He felt that although there were still some shortcomings, it was enough from a strategic perspective. The remaining specific tactical details were left to the "Determination-2019" exercise headquarters and the Nansha base after the successful island capture. After all, Nansha is far away from us, and the Navy cannot place its main force in this place. As long as it can cope with small-scale conflicts and resolve the harassment of certain hostile forces.

To truly fight the South China Sea with a giant like the US aircraft carrier formation, we must dispatch the main forces of the South China Sea Fleet and the Pacific Fleet. The power of the Nansha Base can support for 48 hours and wait for reinforcements from the main navy force.
