Volume 5 Zhongnan Storm Chapter 28 Tactical Adjustment
At dawn, after several hours of rest and adjustment, the battle to siege Laos officially began.
At 8:30 am Beijing time, Pan Yunsheng came to the capital with the newly processed satellite reconnaissance photos.
"The latest information." Pan Yunsheng placed the photo in front of Zhao Rundong. "One hundred and fifty fighter jets and six early warning aircraft are divided into three batches and have left the Changi Air Force Base one after another. The first batch of fighter jets will arrive at the Jin Ou, Longchuan, and the United States in southern Vietnam in about half an hour. The last batch will arrive in Vietnam before 11:00 this morning."
Zhao Rundong quickly looked through the photos.
"The Singapore government has not issued any statement, nor has it said."
"This is a natural thing." Zhao Rundong put down the photo and said, "Let the US military use Changi Air Force Base to transfer fighter jets to Vietnam, even if it is not a war, it will destroy Singapore's neutral status. Perhaps the Singapore government is not aware of it."
"Is it possible?" Pan Yunsheng smiled coldly and said, "The Singapore government is sure to be aware of the large-scale arms transfer.
”
Zhao Rundong smiled and shook his head. "No matter what, we can only turn a blind eye to this matter."
"It's better to let Huang Guowei say hello, at least say hello to the Singapore ambassador." Pan Yunsheng took out a cigarette, "Show our attitude, the Singapore government will have some concerns. The same thing must not happen again, otherwise the situation will lose control."
"You mean Lao Peng?"
Pan Yunsheng nodded and said, "Before dawn, I went to the General Staff. Lao Peng is adjusting his deployment. He is probably going to teach Vietnam a good lesson today."
"Old Peng is a person with this kind of personality." Zhao Rundong sighed. "Let him do it. What is the situation with Ruan Liangyu?"
"There is no progress yet." Pan Yunsheng sighed and said. "I sent someone to contact the spy who provided us with intelligence. The other party was very cautious and seemed to have some concerns."
"concern?"
Pan Yunsheng nodded and said, "The specific reason is not clear. But I think we have an insider."
Zhao Rundong immediately frowned and signaled Pan Yunsheng to continue speaking.
"It's not strange that there is an insider. No one can guarantee that everyone is loyal." Pan Yunsheng picked up the cigarette on the table. "Of course, this is just my guess. Over the past two years, 'Nanyang No. 1' has provided us with a lot of important and even unique intelligence, but has never been willing to meet us. Obviously, 'Nanyang No. 1' is not an ordinary spy. He is very likely to have contacted the local information of the Vietnamese intelligence department and know many things about the top leaders of Vietnam. He is so careful that he does not trust us very much."
"You have to check it out quickly."
Pan Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief. "We must check it, but there must be clues."
"The war has been fought for several days, and the United States has not yet expressed its attitude. I am also pregnant with whether something bigger happened." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead. "In a few hours, Pang Xinglong will go to the United Nations again to use the evidence you provide to propose a comprehensive sanction on Vietnam. Huang Guowei will go to Bangkok again to engage in bilateral contact with the Malaysian Foreign Minister. At present, the situation seems to be more beneficial to us. The biggest problem is that we still don't understand the intentions of the United States."
"It's useless to guess so much. When we destroy the Vietnamese army in Laos, we will naturally know."
Zhao Rundong nodded and no longer expressed his opinion.
At 9:20 Beijing time, Huang Guowei set out for Bangkok.
With the help of the Thai Prime Minister, Malaysia agreed to conduct bilateral consultations with the Republic to resolve the dispute between the Nansha and the South China Sea.
Although Zhao Rundong does not have much hope for this, for the complex South China Sea military, Malaysia and Kenya negotiated with the Republic alone, indicating that the hope of resolving the dispute between the South China Sea and the Nansha is not shattered.
The premise of negotiation is that the Republic must perform on the battlefield, making Malaysia afraid.
On the same day, Peng Maobang adjusted his combat deployment according to Zhao Rundong's instructions.
The Air Force fully supports the ground forces in the old mainland, and all the tasks of attacking Vietnam and seizing air supremacy were handed over to the Navy Air Force.
At 11:00 Hanoi time, the first batch of U.S. aid ground fighters took off from the southern Vietnam air force base to participate in the battle.
Like the F-166 that the United States assisted to Vietnam in 2018, the U.S. provided the U.S. military second-hand equipment, basically the block 42 to block 52 batches of F-16c/d fighters. Before delivery to Vietnam, the U.S. military removed some "unnecessary" equipment on the fighter jets, such as the U.S. military's enemy-to-we-killer identification device, ground attack equipment, aerial refueling equipment, high-speed tactical data links and satellite navigation preparations.
Although the air combat performance of the f-166 has not been affected, the actual combat power has been greatly reduced.
Basically, Vietnam only got the f-166 for air combat.
After Liang Guoxiang's 1st battalion bombed Vietnamese naval ships and military facilities in Cam Ran Bay on the night of the 22nd, he dispatched 2 on the 23rd, focusing on bombing the port facilities and several small ships in Haipong; on the 24th, he rushed to the border water of the capital of Nie'an Province, blew up the only highway and railway bridge on the river, and cut off the only ground passage for southern Vietnamese troops to head north; in the early morning of the 25th, he raided Qishan and blew up the highway bridge from Nie'an Province to Nonghei, Laos.
The war lasted for 3 days, and the 1st Battalion carried out key bombing missions.
This is also the "speciality" of the C111th Brigade. As the first brigade of HNA equipped with J-13b heavy fighter jets, when determining the nature of the troops, the C111th Brigade was regarded as HNA's main long-range strike force. When carrying ammunition, the maximum strike radius of not refueling in the air is close to 1
It is nearly twice that of the j-10b fighter carrying the same ammunition, nearly 600 kilometers than the j-15b. Because it can carry more airborne equipment and can add ground attack pods without affecting the carrying capacity and combat radius of weapons, the j-13b focuses more on ground/sea strikes rather than fighting for air supremacy.
Of course, j-13b's air combat capabilities are unquestionable.
As a long-range attack aircraft developed based on heavy air combat aircraft, the j-13b is different from the FBC-11, which is specially developed as a long-range attack aircraft. It is born with powerful air combat capabilities. As long as the ammunition it carries, the j-13b can perform air combat missions.
On the morning of the 25th, Liang Guoxiang received the air combat mission.
Beijing time 125, 24j-13b each carried 6 interceptor missiles and fighting missiles, and took off from the Naval Aviation Base located on Hainan Island.
At this time, the Vietnam Air Force's F-16c/dd fighter jet headed straight to the Beibu Gulf under the cover of 2e-2c.
"The target distance is 350, the height is 4500, the speed is 11c0, and the information is clear." Di Boqing said while transmitting the received battlefield information to the three wingmen in the team. "Brother Liang, the enemy has come to the door on his own initiative!"
"I understand, I see." Liang Guoxiang quickly glanced at the screen on the left, "All aircrafts should pay attention, the first squadron intercepted head-on, and the second squadron detoured eastward, preparing for battle."
2 fighter jets quickly dispersed, 12 continued to fly towards the Vietnamese fleet, and 12 deviated eastward.
"Brother Liang, the Vietnamese aircraft group is scattered, and there must be early warning aircraft behind it."
Seeing the information displayed on the screen, Liang Guoxiang frowned slightly. "Don't worry about so many, kill the frontal enemy first. 2 minutes later, start the fire control radar and prepare for long-range interception!"
The order was quickly passed to other pilots in the formation.
Compared with three years ago, Liang Guoxiang has an even more powerful weapon: the "SD-12 interceptor missile. Compared with the "PL-14 interceptor missiles used in the past, the "SD-12 has a maximum flight speed of Mach 6; after adopting a new pulse ramming engine, it can not only maintain a flight speed of Mach 6 throughout the entire range, but also a maximum range of 180 kilometers; the composite guidance seeker provides it with two guidance methods: active radar and passive infrared, which increases the single-engine missile attack hit rate from "PL-1480% to more than 90%. The "SDD-12 therefore has jointly developed the "Meteor||" with the US's ambition-120e, and the Russian P-77d, which is being developed, has combat performance far exceeding the second-generation medium-range interceptor missile.
According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Vietnam's F-166 fighter aircraft is equipped with the Aim-120b with a maximum head-on attack distance of only 80 kilometers.
For visual outer air combat, besides missiles hit far, it is more important for who can see far.
The head-on detection distance and tracking distance of small targets such as f-166 (the radar reflection cross-section is about 2 square meters), exceed 330 kilometers, and the locking distance reaches 240 kilometers. The APG-67 fire control radar equipped with f-166 will not exceed 150 kilometers, and the locking distance will be within 1 kilometers.
Although the e-2c can guide the target for the f-166, it cannot replace the f-166 guided missile.
The battle has not started yet, f-166 lost the battle.
At 0:50, when 12j-13b launched the first batch of missiles to the f-166 aircraft group 150 kilometers away, the Vietnamese pilot had just detected the opponent with radar.
A distance of 150 kilometers and a flight speed of Mach 7, the SD-12 only needs 70 to complete.
The 1970s generation, the distance between the two groups is 11c kilometers!
In other words, the Vietnamese fighter jets were shot down by the SD-12 missile before they even locked in the J-13b fleet.
12j-113b launched a missile, each missile attacked 1 f--16, and the probability of destruction was nearly 100%!
The battle was without suspense. In less than 152, the first batch of 12f-166 fighter jets were all shot down by the SD-12 bombs.
At this time, the second round of battle also began. It was still 12j-13b to deal with 12f-166.
In the end, only one f-166 escaped by chance.
By the end of the battle, the 24th fighter jets of the 1st Battalion were not attacked by the opponent.
For Liang Guoxiang, this was a battle without any leaks. When he arrived at the airspace where the Vietnamese fighter jet was shot down by missiles, he could no longer find an enemy except for the Vietnamese pilot who parachuted on the sea.
"Contact the patrol plane and salvage the pilots in the water as soon as possible." After scanning the yellow marks on the sea, Liang Guoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "The fleet is ready to return, the battle is over!"
About an hour later, the first water patrol plane arrived and took away eight Vietnamese pilots.
This air battle was not eye-catching, and the International Radio and Television Station did not report any related reports.
On the morning of the same day, what attracted more attention was that the Republic Air Force (actually the Naval Air Force) stopped bombing military targets in Vietnam and focused on attacking the Vietnamese army in Laos. On the surface, Vietnam regained some air supremacy, but the actual situation was very different.
