Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 102 The Second Front

In the early morning of the month and the sun, the guns fired from the Syrian military demarcation line east of the Golan Heights were one thing, that is, driven by national interests, the originally bloated and inefficient intelligence agencies may also become the most decisive and rapid operational unit in the world.

Because they thought the signs of planning were too obvious, neither side wanted to dig into who shot the first shot.

Of course, public news media still have to get entangled in this issue.

Until a few years later, many Western news media still believed that Syria was the one who shot the first shot. In the eyes of some Western scholars, the Syrian authorities had at least some reason to provoke a war. First, the Syrian authorities have been working hard to regain control of the Virgin Highlands. Second, Damascus is too close to the front line and there is no security guarantee. Third, Syria suffered a defeat three years ago and was eager to take revenge. Fourth, Syria's national defense construction over the years has initially achieved results and the army has restored confidence. Finally, if Syria wants to become the new core of the Arab world, it needs to make achievements in military operations. According to Western news media, don't take any reasons. Any of these reasons can make Syria take the initiative to provoke a war.

As a news media in Arab countries, Al Jazeera is completely opposite to its Western counterparts and has always insisted that it was Israel, not Syria, which provoked the war. Al Jazeera did not do much analysis and only mentioned one thing. That is, before the conflict broke out, the Israeli troops on the Golan Heights had entered the offensive position, and two US Marine divisions who had just arrived in Israel also arrived in the Golan Heights one after another. Among them, the thugs and the land divisions were ready for combat.

Because the parties directly involved did not come forward to clarify, and the agencies capable of clarifying the truth did not take action, so no one could make a conclusion about who caused Israel to be involved in the largest war in the Middle East in the first half of the century, even if the news media said it in detail.

In fact, it doesn't matter who shot the first shot.

Israel must join the war. If it doesn't take action, it can only sit and wait for death. Syria also wants to take this opportunity to do something, at least to cleanse the shame of three years ago. Naturally, it hopes that Israel will be more active.

Anyway, this is a war that both sides "had been waiting for".

It is not that easy to fall into practical issues.

Compared with the Syrian-Israel war in Libien, because it lost its suddenness, after the conflict broke out, it was the Israeli Army's long-range artillery, and then the Israeli Air Force. The problem is that the Syrian army is not the army of Libien. Before Israel launched an attack, the Syrian army was ready for combat. So when the Israeli Army's long-range artillery shelled the Syrian air defense positions south of Damascus, the Syrian air defense forces had withdrawn, and the Syrian Army's long-range artillery immediately launched a counterattack.

No one expected that this high-tech war would be fought first by long-range artillery soldiers.

Of course, the long-range artillery of both sides is each low.

Because Israel is a "nuclear country." It has excellent technological strength and is the most important ally of the United States, in addition to strategic strike weapons, Israel can obtain almost all the weapons and equipment of the United States. It is precisely this way. Israel became the first country in the Middle East to be equipped with an electromagnetic gun system. Strictly speaking, because the electric-flash gun system includes a mobile power supply system, by the time the war broke out, Israel was the only country in the Middle East to be equipped with an electric-flash gun system. With the Republic Army

Like the electromagnetic gun system, the Israeli army's electromagnetic gun system can be deployed maneuverably. Because the land area is small and there is almost no strategic depth. Building large warships equipped with large caliber electromagnetic guns exceeds Israel's ability to withstand Israel. Therefore, the Israeli military, like developing the "Mekawa" main battle tank that can take infantry, created a "fire support ship" and placed the electromagnetic gun system on large container freighters, and then deployed these freighters near the sea, thus solving the problem of insufficient artillery positions.

Compared with Israel, Syria's long-range artillery is not so complete. The new address of this site has been changed to: 8. Please read the Dharma in the future!

Although the relationship between Syria and the Republic is extraordinary, due to the restrictions of the London Treaty, the Republic cannot sell mobile power supply systems to non-nuclear countries, and cannot provide complete electromagnetic gun systems for allies outside Pakistan. In response to this problem, manufacturers of electromagnetic guns have proposed solutions, namely, setting up fixed artillery positions, obtaining power from large-capacity civil backbone power grids, or simply establishing a separate power supply system. Because mobile power supply systems are expensive in themselves, this method of doing infrastructure will not significantly increase procurement costs. From the long-term equipment, it can also reduce equipment costs after reducing maintenance costs.

Of course, in order to improve the survival rate of artillery, each electromagnetic gun has several, or even dozens of spare positions in addition to one main position. Because the electromagnetic gun that should have been deployed in a centralized manner is deployed in a scattered manner, the survivability of the entire system is not low.

This thrilling artillery battle announced the full arrival of the era of electromagnetic guns.

In fact, this is also the first contest between electromagnetic cannons. In previous battles, electromagnetic cannons used their amazing range and super power to completely suppress traditional artillery and rocket launchers. They are already the well-deserved king of war. No one can explain how powerful electromagnetic cannons are.

Many people don’t know that this is the first time that the electromagnetic guns are fighting against the sea.

When the Israeli army was bombarding the Syrian Air Force's air defense positions, the Syrian Army's long-range artillery had only one task, that is, according to the data provided by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and strategic reconnaissance aircraft, suppressing the Israeli artillery. Because the Israeli electric artillery was deployed in the sea seven, the Syrian army's long-range artillery was insufficient to the sea target.

Because this artillery battle has a great impact on the Republic and the United States, the news released is very

According to the war report released by Israel, when the Blade's multiple air defense positions were destroyed, only one "Sharp Support Ship" was hit by the opponent's counterattack artillery fire, and the damage was not very serious. According to the war report released by the Syrian authorities, at least the "Fire Support Ship" was hit in the artillery battle and the thugs were sunk.

In fact, there were indeed large wolf ships hit at that time, and one of them was indeed sunk.

However, it was not Israel's "fire support ship" that was sunk, but a fast container cargo ship belonging to the US Navy, heading to the port of Tel Aviv. More importantly, the freighter was transporting the ammunition needed by the Israeli authorities at that time. Therefore, after being hit by shells and a violent explosion occurred, it was considered by the Syrian authorities and the Republic's intelligence agencies to be Israel's "fire support ship".

Of course, the greatest significance of this artillery battle is not how many ships were killed.

According to Pei Chengyi's recollection, the one who was most interested in this battle was not the army, but the navy. After the battle, Lin Xiaolei found Hu Jing'an, asked Hu Jing'an to submit a detailed report on the war process. Although Hu Jing'an was the staff officer of the Joint Command and did not obey the command of the General Staff, he was a naval officer. Therefore, he had to obey the orders of the Admiral.

It was after this artillery battle that the Republic's Navy increased its research efforts in related fields.

Similarly, the United States is not behind.

As we all know, after the emergence of the forced electric bowl interference system, the appearance of naval warfare has undergone great changes. Especially after surface ships strengthened the electric collision protection and adopted a large number of electromagnetic shielding systems, the forced electromagnetic interference system has almost become the nemesis of all guided anti-ship weapons. The way to deal with forced electromagnetic interference systems is not lacking, but the cost is too high. For example, if you use a closed-circuit guidance system, not only does the hit rate of the ammunition be low, but the ammunition is also required to have a high penetration speed, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost of ammunition. The amount of ammunition spent per attack has increased several times, thus increasing the total cost of sea attacks by several times.

To put it as a joke from some naval generals, if you cannot find cheap methods of attacking the sea as soon as possible, you may only use fighter jets with mechanical transmission control systems to use free-fall bombs in the future, and dive bombing of sea-surface ships under the visual conditions of the pilot.

To put it bluntly, it is to use jet aircraft to fight a naval battle that led to the century with the tactics of World War II.

In addition to some "concept weapons" that are very imaginative but difficult to realize, the most attractive one is the electromagnetic gun.

Compared with other sea-making weapons, electromagnetic guns have range, rate of fire, and good delivery capabilities. More importantly, electromagnetic guns mainly use non-guided ammunition, or closed-circuit guided ammunition such as inertial guidance, and are almost not affected by forced electromagnetic interference systems. Of course, the reason for this situation is also very simple, that is, electric collision guns generally use high-splitting trajectory, and the shells need to pass through the ionosphere twice before landing, so they need to have strong anti-interference ability. Because shells need to return to the atmosphere, they will generate very high temperatures during the fall stage, and the stationary temperature at the tip of the shell is even above 10,000 degrees Celsius, so it is difficult for electromagnetic guns to use complex guided artillery shells. In fact, the conductive electromagnetic guns developed by the Republic and the United States have adopted very special structures, and the reduction system used at the end of the ballistic is mostly slowed down through the reverse rocket engine curtain, which makes the shells complex structure and the cost remains high, and the usage rate will not be much higher.

Of course, the biggest advantage of electromagnetic guns is that the end speed of the shells is very fast.

The problem lies in this place. Because the ballistics are high and the speed is fast, the shells of the electromagnetic gun are difficult to hit moving targets. To be precise, they are high-speed moving targets on the sea surface. When the maximum speed of the warships is approaching Feng Jie or even Qin Jie, even the shells of the electromagnetic guns will not fly more than rainbow minutes at full range. However, in such a short time, even a large aircraft carrier with a length of about 3 meters can run about the redirection of the craft at the speed of the clever meter, which is the distance equivalent to the length of the old hull. Including factors such as the steering of the warship, if you want to hit the thug and fire the shell, you need to let the shells fall at the same time. Obviously, this is very unrealistic.

That's why the Republic and the U.S. Navy are trying to improve the impact of electromagnetic guns

Due to the lack of first-hand data, the Republic and the US Navy's research in this area is mostly at the theoretical stage and at most it can be tested. It is still a long way from being truly practical.

Of course, theoretical research has been very mature.

As early as the early days of the Blade, a young officer from the Republican Navy who obtained a Ph.D. in ballistics proposed a very promising plan, namely, modify the mid-range ballistics, extend the flight distance outside the atmosphere, and allow the shell to reach the sky above the head of the Sunmark to conduct a dive attack. The advantage of this is that it greatly shortens the flight time of the last ballistics, so that the target has no time to avoid it, thus narrowing the range of the need to cover the strike and improving the efficiency of the strike. The problem is that it is easy to say but not easy to do. To extend the mid-range ballistics, you have to use an orbital rocket engine, that is, when the shell reaches the apex of the ballistic, you can obtain a speed of flying along an incoming orbit. This engine is not as small as possible and cannot use liquid fuel, and can only use solid fuel cannons.

The bomb was overloaded by tens of thousands of overloads, and liquid fuel was easily leaked at this time, limiting the engine's propulsion efficiency. To conduct a dive attack near right angle at the end, you have to use an attitude to control the rocket engine. In this way, a powerful kilogram shell may only have the effective combat quality of the kilograms obtained by Hungary, and such a small amount of power is very limited. Although theoretically, if the velocity of the shell is around LIMACH, even if there is no explosive, the kilogram shell has a huge kinetic energy of about 400000000. It can easily destroy any warship in the world. However, the power of the shell is increased, and the protection of the warship will also increase accordingly. By the time such an electric-touch gun is put into service, it is probably impossible to solve the problem.

Of course, what these theoretical research is most needed is the first-hand data provided by actual combat.

Unfortunately, after the Indian War, the Republic's Navy had no chance to perform. In fact, even the Republic's Army did not meet a real opponent. The address of this site has been changed to: Exorcist the heart, please log in to read it if you delete it!

Syrian long-range artillery abandoned Israel's "fire support ship" is undoubtedly "one-hand

.

The Republic needs such data, and the United States is no exception.

Judging from later developments, this artillery battle at least proved one thing, that is, electromagnetic guns can pose a threat to large ships with displacement of tens of thousands of tons, and the power of electromagnetic gun shells is not necessarily worse than anti-ship missiles.

This conclusion is enough to allow the Republic and the US Navy to invest more funds in electromagnetic guns.

Not to mention, at the end of the year, the Republic's Navy received a special grant of tens of billions of yuan, specifically to promote the research of spiral electromagnetic guns. The reason why the Republic's Navy received this grant is very simple. The US Navy divided the defense budget for the Secret Trooper fiscal year that began in the second half of that year, and invested hundreds of billions of dollars in the project to develop spiral electromagnetic guns.

Both sides have strengthened the development of spiral electromagnetic guns at the same time because if they want to improve the caliber of the electromagnetic gun, to be precise, the projection capability. They can only work hard on spiral electromagnetic guns. The orbital electromagnetic gun is limited by the basic working principle, and if the quality of the shells is continued to be improved, the price they will pay will be unimaginable.

Driven by the arms race, both sides have improved their development base.

According to a document released by the Republic Navy at the beginning of the Zhao year, the caliber of the first spiral electromagnetic gun will be from the original plan of the thug.

Of course, what needs to be improved is not only the quality of the shell, but also the range.

The limit range of orbital electromagnetic gun is about 1,000 meters, while the spiral electromagnetic gun is likely to have no limit range. In other words, the spiral electromagnetic gun has the ability to directly send shells into low-Earth orbit in theory.

In fact, this is also the most attractive part of the spiral electromagnetic gun.

You should know that if the shells can be directly sent into low-Earth orbit, there is no need to install an orbital rocket engine on the shells. Only a small attitude control rocket engine is needed. Theoretically, in this case, the payload of the shells is above the level. That is to say, a shell with a mass of 0 kilograms will be more than 7 kilograms when it falls on the target. If so, even if it is not a shell filled with explosives, it can sink a 10,000-ton cruiser. More importantly, when the payload is small kilograms, the strike efficiency can be improved by using the technology of "sub-combine" to improve the image. To put it more vividly, this is like when dealing with the enemy in front of you. A shotgun is more suitable than a sniper rifle.

Of course, these are all things that happened later.

As Israel joined the war, Pei Chengyi became busy.

Before the artillery battle between the two sides ended, Pei Chengyi issued an order to Luo Shaopeng, asking him to lead the troops south immediately and obey the command of the Southern Front Command. Then, Pei Chengyi contacted Su Jinhui and asked him to fully consider the possibility of continuous combat when using the second combat unit and not to use all his strength at once.

At this time, the first single troops of the Eighth Battle had arrived in Aleppo.

On the Turkish battlefield, the first combat unit and the tenth combat unit had already surrounded the European army's army. Because Israel suddenly joined the war, Yuan Chenhao did not rush to take action, but took the initiative to contact Pei Chengyi, saying that in order to cooperate with Su Jinhui, he could adjust the offensive plan and send the thugs.

Yuan Chenhao's positive attitude made Pei Chengyi feel relieved.

According to his request, do not take any other actions except to strike European legions with long-range artillery fire.
