Volume 7 peninsula smoke chapter 100 vigorous and resolute
The Chief of Staff decided to attack Jeju Island. The most happy thing is the Chief of Staff of the Navy
After the South China Sea War, Lin Xiaolei, who was "drawn" in the aircraft carrier battle group, was directly transferred back to the Navy Command and served as the chief of staff. Although Ying Changhui accepted Zhao Rundong's "retention" and continued to serve as the naval commander, like Peng Maobang, in the last few years of his term, Ying Changhui's main job was to "cultivate successors."
Unlike the Air Force, Lin Xiaolei has no "competitor" in the Navy.
Although Hua Jianfeng, Liang Guoxiang and others have long become household names, Hua Jianfeng, who has just been promoted to major general, lacks the "demeanor of a general", and Liang Guoxiang has no intention of striving for a higher position.
Lin Xiaolei's position in the navy is equivalent to Xiang Yinghui's position in the army, and is a generation that connects the past and the future. Before the "young and strong factions" became the pillar of the republic, "middle-aged" generals like Lin Xiaolei and Xiang Yinghui had an irreplaceable role.
Unlike Xiang Yinghui, Lin Xiaolei is an absolute "war general".
After the "Republic" was in service, Lin Xiaolei took the initiative to "relegate" to command the aircraft carrier battle group regardless of his personal future, showing his personality traits at a glance. If Peng Maobang's "army plot" is not considered, as long as Lin Xiaolei seizes the opportunity after the Fourth India-Pakistan War, he will be a powerful candidate for the Chief of General Staff, and may even become the first "non-army" chief of general staff in the history of the Republic.
Character determines success or failure.
Lin Xiaolei never thought of being the Chief of Staff, but just wanted to lead the fleet to "charge into battle".
Fate made a joke with him. After he left the aircraft carrier battle group, the Peninsula War broke out, and the Republic's Navy was about to win the first time in history that the aircraft carriers sang the protagonist's naval battle.
At night, Lin Xiaolei flew from Qingdao to the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier.
When Lin Xiaolei saw Zhang Weichang, commander of the "Special Mixed Fleet", commander of the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group, commander of the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group Dou Haikun, commander of the "Yandi" aircraft carrier battle group Mu Qingyun, Lin Xiaolei felt indescribable.
Three aircraft carrier battle groups, from the South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet respectively.
According to the initial plan, the "Huaxia" class aircraft carriers will be incorporated into the South China Sea Fleet to deter Southeast Asia and safeguard the maritime interests of the Republic. Focus on protecting maritime routes to the Middle East, Europe, Africa and South America. With the service of the Japanese Navy and Earth 2~ aircraft carriers, the Republic's Navy adjusted its deployment. The "Huaxia" and "Yandi" were left in the East China Sea Fleet. Only the "Huaxia" was sent to the South China Sea Fleet.
After Lin Xiaolei became the chief of staff of the Navy, Zhang Weichang was promoted to lieutenant general and commander of the South China Sea Fleet. Hua Jianfeng was promoted to privy general and commander of the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group. Dou Hai and Mu Qingyun both came from the East China Sea Fleet. The two were not very "close" with Lin Xiaolei.
After the outbreak of the Peninsula War, the Navy made major adjustments to its deployment.
In addition to the "Republic" patrolling the eastern part of the Zhongsha Islands, the other three aircraft carrier battle groups were all sent to the East China Sea to form the "Special Mixed Fleet". Logically speaking, a lieutenant general (usually the fleet commander or chief of staff) of the East China Sea Fleet should be the commander of the "Special Mixed Fleet", but under the "influence" of Lin Xiaolei, Zhang Weichang was sent to the "SIS" aircraft carrier battle group, occupying the most important position.
Several generals knew the reason.
Zhang Weichang and Lin Xiaolei have worked with Lin Xiaolei for many years. If Lin Xiaolei succeeds Ying Changhui as commander of the navy, Zhang Weichang will become the chief of staff of the navy. Lin Xiaolei has no chance to command the fleet to fight, which does not mean that he does not want to command the fleet to fight. If the generals of the East China Sea Fleet are allowed to command the "special mixed fleet", Lin Xiaolei will lose his "voice".
"The campaign will start on No. 7, and at the latest, no matter how long as the 8th is." Lin Xiaolei took out a cigarette and dispersed one for several generals. "Our mission is to seize sea and air supremacy, destroy the South Korean army's ground command and air defense system before the Marines get ashore, cover the landing fleet to arrive at the landing ground, support the Marines get ashore, and provide air support and fire support before the Marines' artillery and shore-based air force enter the battle. Although the specific combat plan is organized by the General Staff Department.
Order, but we cannot be idle. The South Korean Navy has a fleet that cannot be underestimated and has more than a dozen extremely threatening submarines. After the battle begins, our first priority is to kill the South Korean fleet and ensure the safety of the route and landing ground. During this period, the shore-based aviation will cooperate with the fleet to provide anti-submarine cover for the fleet. Because most of the shore-based fighters of HNA are sent to the peninsula battlefield, we should not expect to get air defense cover from fighters..."
When Lin Xiaolei introduced the situation, the four "young and strong" generals all listened attentively.
"... Overall, this is a battle to test the navy." Lin Xiaolei took two puffs of cigarettes, "If even the navy in the country cannot deal with the country, how can we deal with the little Japanese and how can we deal with the Americans? We are all naval soldiers. I believe everyone, like me, think that a powerful republic cannot be without a powerful navy. Unlike in the past, I cannot fight with everyone, but I hope to prove the strength of the Republic's navy with a beautiful battle!"
No one raised objections, because all naval soldiers believed,
A direct manifestation of national strength.
"I won't say much nonsense." Lin Xiaolei didn't realize that he had already said a lot of nonsense. "There is still a lot of work to be done before the battle begins. If you have any questions, you can raise them. I will try my best to solve them for you."
Zhang Weichang glanced at everyone and said, "How long will the battle last?"
"Ten days to half a month." Lin Xiaolei's answer was very short.
"Even according to normal circumstances, the aircraft carrier battle group needs to replenish ammunition and fuel at least once between them." Zhang Weichang paused for a moment and said, "The supply work must be arranged in place, preferably before the Marines go ashore. If necessary, the second replenishment must be carried out after the Marines advance to the inland."
"I will be responsible for the logistics work myself, and there will be no problems." After that, Lin Xiaolei looked at Hua Jianfeng.
"The South Korean Air Force has been defeated. South Korea does not have a decent naval aviation force, and the South Korean Navy has no aviation." Hua Jianfeng shook his head with a smile and said, "The main threat comes from below the sea. Now there are only two submarines in each aircraft carrier battle group. Even if it is covered by HNA's long-range anti-submarine patrol aircraft, the anti-submarine power is still very weak. Submarines are the best anti-submarine force, and more submarines must be sent."
Lin Xiaolei nodded and said, "Six submarines will be dispatched within 48 hours, and you will be in direct command."
Hua Jianfeng didn't say anything more. Among the few commanders, he was the only one from the submarine force.
"What should the US military do?" Dou Haikun destroyed the cigarette butts and said to Lin Xiaolei, "The US military has six aircraft carrier combat groups that are active in the Sea of Japan, and we only have three aircraft carrier combat groups. Support the Marines to land on Jeju Island, and we will definitely enter the Yellow Sea. If the US military chooses to leave the Sea of Japan from the Korean Strait, it may contact us or even conflict."
"The activities of the US aircraft carrier battle groups will be sent to each aircraft carrier battle groups in a timely manner.
"Lin Xiaolei had long expected someone to raise this question, "According to the instructions of the General Staff, the possibility of the US military participating in the battle field is very small. Although our combat effectiveness is not as good as the US military, as long as we fight naval battles in the Yellow Sea, even if the US military has the ability to do a great job, they will not escape. Will the Americans do such a loss-making business?"
"The US military is a small problem, and the two Japanese aircraft carrier battle groups cannot be ignored." Mu Qingyun also spoke.
"The possibility of Japan participating in the war is not high. At least from the moment, Japan has no intention of participating in the war." Lin Xiaolei smiled coldly and said, "The two aircraft carriers whose combat effectiveness is not even comparable to the 'Republic' are not a real threat. Japanese aircraft carriers are still active in the Western Pacific and have no intention of crossing the Ryukyu Islands to enter the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. Our submarines and reconnaissance satellites have been monitoring the activities of the Japanese fleet. If the Japanese fleet dares to enter the war zone, let the dog god know who is the first navy in Asia!"
"Really fight?" Mu Qingyun asked deliberately.
"Is it still a fake fight?" Lin Xiaolei laughed, "You don't have to worry about other things. I will chat with Xiang Yinghui after I go back. As far as I know, attacking Jeju Island means the head of state and deputy head of state. Although we are soldiers and not politicians, from the perspective of the battle arrangement, the superiors must take this opportunity to attack Japan's arrogance. If the Marines can defeat Jeju Island, they can fight to the Japanese mainland. No matter how arrogant they are, they have to consider the direct consequences of going to war with us."
Mu Qingyun smiled and shook his head, not saying anything more.
"Strategically, we must underestimate the enemy, and tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy." Lin Xiaolei glanced and said, "After the battle begins, don't just worry about cleaning up the rod fleet. The three aircraft carriers have twelve early warning aircraft. In addition to maintaining a 24-hour air defense alert, four to six early warning aircraft can be freed up. Reconnaissance satellites are not omnipotent, and hunting submarines are not omnipotent. Pay close attention to the situation in the east and do not take it lightly."
"Then you have to send a few more early warning aircraft." Zhang Weichang muttered.
"It is a trivial matter to send additional early warning aircraft." Lin Xiaolei knocked on the table, "The key is tactical arrangements. This is the first time that the Navy has carried out a large-scale combat operation after it owned an aircraft carrier. Although we have been exploring for several years, we still lack practical experience. I do not require any accidents. There will be casualties and losses in war, but we must fight beautifully, fight wonderfully, show the majesty of the Navy, and show the fighting spirit of the Navy!"
The general nodded and said nothing.
"Is there any other problem?" Lin Xiaolei glanced at everyone, stood up and said, "No other problem, I will return to the Navy Command. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time."
"I'll take you on the plane." Zhang Weichang stood up.
"No, you discuss combat operations." Lin Xiaolei suppressed his hand, "I am waiting for the fleet's good news, and I hope everyone will do their duty."
After Lin Xiaolei left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Thunder and decisive moves have always been Lin Xiaolei's style. Zhang Weichang and Hua Jianfeng have long been used to it. Dou Hai and Mu Qingyun have also opened their eyes.
