Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 56, From Sea to Land

In many people's eyes, "Hab Base" is a modular component idea that looks like a Mud Dijiji. However, this sentence is not Jiang Qi. To be precise, modular design idea is the basis of "sea base".

Theoretically, there will be no offshore base without modular design ideas. Take a sea base that can be used as a quartz for tactical transport aircraft to take off and land. Or at the same time, if the modular design method is not adopted, the structural strength problem of the hull alone will be difficult to solve. The only feasible way is to use high-strength alloy to make the ship frame, and all the secondary parts are made of composite materials to reduce the structural weight. Not to mention the cost issue, even if such a long hull can be built, and floating connections can be used.

Connection technology, attitude control system, segmented propulsion technology and other methods enable the hull to sail normally. It cannot ensure its survivability on the battlefield. To put it simply, it is definitely much easier to attack a sea base with an old meter-long length than an aircraft carrier with an urge to attack a sea base. It can be said that if it cannot be quickly dispersed into several to dozens of fast ships when threatened, and evacuate from dangerous sea areas. The actual combat survivability of the sea base is almost zero. In fact, even if the modular design method is adopted, the survivability of the sea base is questioned.

Since it is a "module ship" sea-based system, there are multiple assembly methods.

It can be said that the Republic's Navy gave up the second-generation maritime base and directly built the third generation. In addition to the inappropriate design ideas of the second generation, a very important reason is that the assembly method of the second generation is very limited and the combat use is greatly restricted.

When it is composed of modules, the third-generation maritime base has hundreds of assembly methods.

At that time, there were only a few commonly used ones.

According to the combat usage code formulated by the Republic's Navy, according to different combat usage purposes. The third-generation maritime base is mainly assembled in three ways: one is the sea-making mode, the second is the platform mode, and the third is the support mode. There are several different tactical assembly modes under these three methods, and which assembly mode should be adopted is not only operated in accordance with the regulations of the combat code. It can also be determined by the commander with relevant qualifications based on the battlefield situation.

In the sea-control mode, according to the battlefield threat level and combat intensity, there are a total of the maritime platforms assembled. For example, when the threat level is low and the combat intensity is not large, two sets of "large sea-control platform" with each with length, persuasion and wide-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-water-

The partners take turns to ensure that when the platform is damaged, they still have the ability to control the sea; when the threat level is low and the combat intensity is very high, the "strategic sea-control platform" composed of the "strategic sea-control platform" with a running track with a length of licking, persuading, and wide squid running track increases the platform's own sea-control and air-control combat capabilities to the maximum; when the threat level is high and the combat intensity is very high, the "mobile sea-control platform" with a runway with a length of meter and a width of 10,000 meters only provides support for tactical fighters, and thus obtains the best tactical maneuverability.

The so-called "platform mode" is to provide support to combat troops outside the battlefield, such as accepting wounded personnel, hoarding combat materials, etc. To put it directly, in the platform mode, the maritime base does not directly participate in combat operations, nor will it provide tactical support to combat troops. It is just a mobile maritime base, which is the rear of the combat troops and the support point for combat troops to perform strategic tasks. In this case, after ensuring basic air transport capabilities, the maritime base will focus on strengthening its functionality, and half of the modules will be used to improve the operating efficiency of the platform.

As mentioned earlier, maritime bases are not suitable for sea-making operations. Although they are strategic support points. The role of maritime bases in the "platform mode" is very prominent, especially in the vast Pacific Ocean. A floating maritime base is often more effective than a powerful fleet. However, in most cases, especially in the Western Pacific and the Southwest Pacific, the Republic Marine Corps is more willing to seize a non-sinking island as a support point for strategic offensive attacks, and will not deploy tens of thousands of ground troops in steel ships floating on the sea.

It can be seen from this that the "support mode" is the main appearance of the maritime base.

To put it bluntly, the support mode is the mode of supporting Marines on the battlefield. From the perspective of tactical performance, the support mode is between the sea-making mode and the platform mode, that is, on the basis of trying to improve the support function of the base itself, the base's survival ability is as much as possible. It is precisely this way, the main assembly method of the support mode is composed of stall modules, with the "large-scale support platform" of strip length, concave and widenami, which is composed of six modules to improve the platform's work efficiency, especially in the field of shipping and delivery.

"Changxing Island" is the third-generation marine platform system of poison.

Because Russia's air force deployed in the Far East is not strong, and before that, the Sky Army and Naval Air Force had already carried out key bombings on the Russian Air Force and Naval Bases. Therefore, when "Changxing Island" was heading to the battlefield, only the escort warships of the Western Pacific Amphibious Assault Fleet and several attack submarines deployed in advance. In any case, we should be wary of the different body of the Yuliao Russian Army... The fighter jets and bombers of the Russian Pacific Fleet were like attack submarines in the Russian Pacific Fleet, especially the attack submarines that left the port within a month before the outbreak of the war.

In fact, for "Changxing Island", the best security measures are still its mysterious identity.

Although many years ago, the US intelligence agency obtained news that it firmly believed that the Republic's Navy designed and built a larger maritime base, and may have scrapped the command of the maritime base to the Marine Corps, as the US Navy did, each module that constituted the maritime base was built with the standards of rapid transport ships. This type of transport ship is not only military, but also the main ship type in the civil shipping market. Therefore, it is impossible to judge the scale of the maritime base from how many rapid transport ships the Republic has built to determine the scale of the maritime base from how many rapid transport ships the Republic has built to determine the size of the maritime base.

and nature. Conversely, the Republican intelligence agencies, including the Military Intelligence Agency, only know that the US Navy has built many maritime bases, but cannot know its specific scale. Because maritime bases can be flexibly and freely assembled. For example, if necessary, "Changxing Island" can be assembled into four maritime bases, so it is difficult to clearly define the number of maritime bases. According to the intelligence community's identification method, the main indicator of maritime bases is its displacement. Of course, this is not a very accurate indicator.

Although the identity of "Changxing Island" is mysterious to the US intelligence agencies, the rapid transport ships that formed "Changxing Island" and the multiple landing ships in the port of the Western Pacific amphibious assault fleet heading north with them. Several warships serving escort missions are located to Japan's Hakodate and Muro O, north of Muro O, located to Japan's Honshu Road and north of Muro O. It is one of the naval bases that the Republic forcibly leased after the Japanese war. Muro O. is a large number of transport ships gathered by the Republic's Navy in the largest fleet in Northeast Asia. There is no secret.

That night, Si issued an alarm and sent the relevant information to the Russian National Security Agency as agreed.

Faced with the fierce Republic fleet, even if they knew that the Republic Marines would land on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Russian authorities could only sigh.

As mentioned earlier, only a few submarines could threaten the Republic's amphibious assault fleet.

On this night, the Republic's Navy and the Russian Navy had the first head-on battle, but the main force of the battle was the attack submarines of both sides, so the outside world was not clear about the battle process. According to the battle report released by the Republic's Navy several months later, during the submarine battle between the Blade Day and the early morning of the Sun, the three attack submarines that participated in the battle sank at least 4 Russian submarines, and the deportation order also moved the Russian submarines. At least one of them fled to the United States.

After entering the Seward Naval Base in Alaska, the Republic's attack submarine was not damaged. Although Russia subsequently released relevant battle reports, it was determined that at least the Republic's submarine and three surface warships had been sunk during the battle. However, the credibility was not high, because even the US news organizations believed that before dawn, the Republic fleet heading north from the east and north of the Kuril Islands did not suffer any losses, and even none of the warships were injured, let alone sunk.

In fact, this is one of the few battles between the Republic's Navy and the Russian Navy.

As we all know, as early as the end of the era, the Russian authorities made comprehensive adjustments to the naval deployment. All the main forces, including strategic submarines, were transferred to the northern fleet, and only retained a small number of surface warships in the Pacific Fleet, mainly using attack submarines to weaken the navy's control of the Republic's navy. To put it more honestly, before that, the Russian authorities wanted to compete with the Republic's navy for sea control, at least to compete with the Sea of ​​Japan, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and the North Pacific with the Navy of the Republic. After that, the Russian authorities completely gave up the idea of ​​fighting for sea control with the Republic's navy, and the main value of the existence of the Pacific Fleet was to destroy the sea control of the Republic's navy. Obviously, the submarines were destroyed from the day they were born, rather than seizing sea control and control of sea control.

On the day of the war, to be precise, it was during the Sun Bushi after the war, under the comprehensive attack of the Republic's Naval Air Force and the strategic bomber of the Sky Army, almost all the surface warships of the Russian Pacific Fleet were wiped out. Only a few warships operating in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk took advantage of the chaos to advance eastward, entered the North Pacific Ocean on the last day of the year, and fled to the protection range of the US Navy and Naval Air Force. These warships later all went to the US naval bases and were forcibly requisitioned by the US Navy.

As mentioned earlier, those submarines are truly threatening.

If the Russian Navy was still a little confident in its submarines before this naval battle, then after this naval battle, the Russian Navy was completely desperate. Actual combat proved that Russia is no longer a major submarine power. Not only is the number of submarines far inferior to the Republic and the United States, but it is also far behind in submarine performance. Regardless of whether the results announced by the Republic's Navy are moisture, at least after that, the threat of Russian submarines can be ignored, and the amphibious assault fleet and maritime base fleets that were heading to the battlefield did not suffer any losses.

The moon is coming to the sun, and the sky is just bright, and the combat operation to attack the Kamchatka Peninsula begins

It's right.

The first one to appear was not the "Changxing Island" maritime base, but two amphibious assault ships of the Western Pacific amphibious assault fleet, and nearly 100 low-altitude attack aircraft carried by them. If calculated based on the arrival time of firepower delivery, the first one to be put into battle was the state... The group of multiple Tudou attack aircraft in the current team was in danger of flying; the shells fired by the destroyer landed on the Russian shore defense position south of Petropavlovsk. The two shore defense missile battalions' strength, multiple missile launchers and the two shore defense artillery battalions' electromagnetic gun systems became victims of this battle before they could participate in the battle.

There is no doubt that the artillery fire of moving multi-purpose destroyers is indeed a little thin.

In fact, even if the low-altitude attack aircraft of two brigades are included, the firepower investment is not considered strong.

Fortunately, Petropavlovsk was originally a small town, and even one of the main bases of the Russian Pacific Fleet, its defense facilities were not complete.

More importantly, Petropavlovsk is just a naval base that simply supports submarines, except for a long-range air defense system. The nearest air defense force is deployed on the naval aviation base on the west coast of the Serikhov Bay north of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. This base usually only deploys four fighter jets and does not have the ability to support large aircraft fleet activities.

According to the standards of the Republic Marine Corps, after the fire strike of the amphibious assault fleet is over, the landing operation can begin. According to normal tactical arrangements, the Marine Corps officers and soldiers will take ashore on a vertical take-off and landing transport plane, and heavy equipment will be sent ashore by landing craft and hovercraft. After establishing a beachhead position, they will advance inland. It only takes 2 hours for the Marine Corps to complete the first round of assault missions. A landing field with a width of more than kilometers and a depth of several thousand meters, and then wait for the subsequent troops to arrive. Then they will capture Petropavlovsk.

Because of the support of the maritime base, the landing tactics have also undergone great changes. Considering that the threat from the Russian army is not very large. Moreover, the traffic conditions on the Kamchatka Peninsula are very bad. Not only are the highways poor, but there are also roads in many places. Therefore, when the landing combat plan was small, the Marine Corps completely gave up the traditional tactics and decided to rely entirely on air transport to get ashore. In this way, the air transport support capacity of the amphibious assault fleet is far from meeting the needs. Even if most of the combat materials are sent ashore with landing crafts and hovercraft, only personnel and main combat equipment are delivered by air transport, hundreds of vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft are required. While ensuring that there are enough low-altitude attack aircraft, the amphibious assault fleet can only carry at most no blade vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, and more than half of them must be deployed on the integrated landing ships, thus greatly affecting the combat efficiency of the aircraft fleet.

More importantly, the Kamchaka Peninsula has a long mouth of kilometers from north to south, and the widest place in the east and west is close to kilometers, with an area of ​​about 1,000 square kilometers. There are two longitudinal mountains, which are many active volcanoes, and the area is equivalent to that of France. In other words, the difficulty of troop delivery exceeds that of firepower delivery. How to ensure that landing troops can obtain combat supplies in time is much more difficult than sending combat troops ashore. Because the nearest military base is far away and a few kilometers away, even within the delivery range of tactical transport aircraft, considering the delivery efficiency, a forward base must be established before the delivery of the troops, and it is a frontier base that can provide sufficient support for the landing troops.

This is the value of the existence of "Changxing Island".

In order to ensure that the landing operation can be completed smoothly, and the Russian army is not threatened, "Changxing Ji is assembled according to the standard support model, and all the rapid transport ships are put into use, including the flag forming a platform, and the six are used to improve the operating efficiency of the platform. In fact, this arrangement was decided before the war broke out, otherwise the Republic's Navy would not assemble a large number of transport ships to Lu'a Bay. In addition to transporting the ammunition required by the combat troops, these ships also transported a lot of engineering materials. According to the navy's combat deployment, landing on the Kamchatka Peninsula is just a means, not an end. The real purpose is to use the Kamchatka Peninsula to force the United States to maintain a large fleet in the North Pacific, thereby dispersing the US Navy and creating favorable conditions for combat operations in other directions.

That's why the firepower before landing lasts from dawn to noon.

The battlefield time was divided into points, and the first batch of landing troops took a vertical take-off and landing transport plane from the "Changxing Island" maritime base.

It has to be admitted that setting up a maritime base is a relatively troublesome thing, especially in Beitaiping

.

You should know that the North Pacific is one of the largest sea areas in the world with the largest waves, or one of the most harsh natural conditions, with its average annual wave height and wind speed comparable to the North Atlantic. That's why, after the Japanese landed in the Aleutian Islands more than four years ago, the US military did not worry too much because the US military believed that the Japanese army could not overcome the harsh natural environment and landed in Alaska.

It is also true that when "Changxing Island" was put into actual combat, the US authorities were also shocked.

Establishing a maritime base in a sea where warships are difficult to navigate normally is definitely not a joke. You should know that in most of the time, the bad weather of the number one enemy in the maritime base is not anti-ship missiles and heavy torpedoes. In fact, the Republic's Navy did not invest in the fourth-generation maritime base, but used the much smaller third-generation maritime base, which was related to the extremely harsh weather in the North Pacific.

Regardless of whether the login operation is sudden or not, the appearance of "Changxing Island" will definitely make the opponent feel very sudden.
