Volume 8 Hundred Years of Resentment Chapter 55 Outer Space Operations
Recognizing that the nuclear threat has been lifted, Wang Yuanqing ordered the Military Intelligence Bureau to send nuclear Taipei as soon as possible to transport the nuclear warhead back to the mainland military base... The combat operation does not require Wang Yuanqing to worry about, and Xiang Yinghui is issuing combat orders to the participating troops at all levels in accordance with the combat plan that had been formulated.
There are about 2 hours left before dawn.
In just two hours, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from three major military branches and hundreds of participating troops from three independent military branches will carry out operations in accordance with the combat orders issued by the General Staff. The difficulty of the battle and the complex command can be considered unprecedented even if it is not considered a last resort.
The first thing that is involved in the battle is not the front-line combat troops.
The "Strategic Defense Command Center" located in Changbai Mountain Mountain District received a combat order from the General Staff Department, and thousands of heavenly soldiers deployed in dozens of cave bases immediately began to operate according to the combat plan.
No one could have thought that a force that was thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield and was not even equipped with guns would be so important.
50. Dozens of strange-shaped instruments were dragged out of the cave library and came to the open-air launch platform, pointing the huge parabolic antenna to the cloudless night sky. Within 2 minutes, a three-way stable platform driven by a stepper motor completed the positioning. The parabolic antenna aimed at outer space targets hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers away under the drive of a high-precision electric motor. As command agencies at all levels issued attack orders, dozens of extremely bright blue-green light pierced the dark night sky, rushed out of the atmosphere at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, and rushed towards the aiming military satellite. After more than 1 second, the dazzling light disappeared, and the heavenly soldiers on the launch platform dragged weapons and equipment into the cave library as fast as possible.
After the combat operation, the Heavenly Soldier, who had been established for only three years, completed the combat mission.
Over the past three years, in order to build a heavenly soldier in the world (the US aerospace combat force belongs to the Air Force and becomes an independent branch), the Republic has invested nearly one trillion military spending in total. Raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while. In Wang Yuanqing's words, whether the country's huge investment is worth it depends not on whether the technology is advanced, but whether it can defeat the enemy in battle and provide help in winning the war.
Although the battle between soldiers is only a few minutes long enough to determine the direction of the war!
I'm afraid it would have been unexpected. The Republic's Heavenly Soldiers had just completed the first large-scale combat operation in human history against outer space targets.
The first thing to do is to attack the military guards in Japan_the commanding heights of the Republic's new-style war thought.
Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens.
Occupying the commanding heights is always the theme of war landlords. After the birth of the Air Force, whoever controls the sky will take the initiative in the war land. With the first artificial satellite entering the sky, space has become the commanding heights of the new land. Although two superpowers signed a treaty not to deploy military facilities in outer space and not to attack the other side's outer space facilities as early as the Cold War of the United States and the Soviet Union. However, the international situation in the old land was broken and the world pattern was formed. The Republic and the United States did not sign any similar agreements, nor did they sign similar agreements with other countries.
In order to minimize the scope of influence, the attack site is just a Japanese military satellite.
When formulating a combat plan, Xiang Yinghui clearly stated that all Japanese military satellites must be destroyed at the beginning of the war, Japan will lose its ability to use outer space facilities, thereby destroying the Japanese military communication system and paralyzing the Japanese military command system.
The Chief of Staff attaches close ties to the military satellite system of Japan in outer space combat.
As the fourth country in the world to successfully launch artificial satellites, Japan's space capabilities cannot be underestimated.
Unlike other countries, Japan's aerospace technology not only does not pay attention to cost factors, but also secretly develops military aerospace capabilities in the name of "civil space". For example, since the H-2, Japan gave up more economically beneficial oxygen liquid fuel rockets and switched to solid fuel launch vehicles with less economic benefits and more military value. Not to mention, the x-11 ballistic missile was developed based on the H-77 solid fuel launch vehicle. Without strong aerospace capabilities, Japan would definitely not dare to cross the nuclear threshold in 20211 and become a nuclear country.
Aerospace capabilities provide a solid foundation for Japan to develop its outer space military force.
After the Dokdo War, Japan launched the "Five-Year Plan for Military Construction of Outer Space". According to the plan, Japan will have independent satellite communications, satellite reconnaissance and satellite positioning systems in five years, launching more than one military satellite of various purposes, and creating a military satellite network system second only to the United States and the Republic! Although by the time the war broke out, Japan's five-year plan was not completed. Due to various factors, many military satellites were not able to be launched on time, but Japan's military satellite system has begun to take shape and its strength cannot be underestimated.
In terms of military communications, Japan has launched 3 generations of 12 communication satellites in five years. The uplink bandwidth of its most advanced jc-3b communication satellite has a maximum bandwidth of 24gbps, a 240 communication line, and initially has real-time tactical communication capabilities. The military command platform based on this satellite can ensure that the rear commander maintains real-time contact with the front-line combat troops, from
Tactical network command function.
In terms of military reconnaissance, Japan has launched 2 Type 6 Type 6 reconnaissance satellites in five years. Their most advanced radar-phase satellites and optical phase satellites have a resolution of c5 and 5 meters (both north-south) respectively, which can accurately identify military facilities. The "constellation" formed by 24 reconnaissance satellites can reconnaissance important military targets in East Asia and the Western Pacific every 2 hours.
In terms of military positioning, Japan's "Sun God" satellite positioning system is similar to the United States' GPS-3 system. It is deployed in the "constellation" method, and deploys working satellites and 1 backup satellite in each orbit, which can provide satellite positioning signals to all regions around the world except the north and south poles. The "dual-orbit system" working method it adopts not only provides positioning signals with an accuracy of 3 meters for civilian customers, but also provides positioning signals with an accuracy of 1 meter for military customers.
No matter from which perspective, these three sets of military satellite systems are the "force multiplier" of the Japanese army.
As a republic with the most complete military space system in the world, it is very clear about the significant impact of military satellite systems on war. No wonder Xiang Yinghui regards Japan's military satellite system as the primary target of attack. As long as Japan's military satellite system is destroyed, the Japanese army will become blind, deaf, mute and blind, thus losing the initiative in war and making wrong judgments at the critical moment of the war!
The Republic spared no effort to build a heavenly soldier without hesitation, with the goal of occupying the commanding heights of war.
Of course, anti-satellite warfare is not as simple as having several weapon systems.
Before the battle began, the soldiers used the "space surveillance radar" deployed in all directions of the Republic to accurately measure the orbit and operation cycle of Japanese military satellites, and basically mastered the activities of Japanese military satellites. Subsequently, they had to use high-precision out-of-atmosphere detection radar to determine the accurate position of Japanese military satellites, and provide the target's accurate flight parameters for the foundation interception system.
It was only after the battle began that it was the "Ground Laser Intercept System" turn to perform on stage.
As the first practical foundation-oriented energy weapon system in the world, the main task of the "low-level laser interception system" is to deal with outer space targets dominated by military satellites.
Initially, the target of the "ground-based laser interception system" was a ballistic missile.
During the design and testing phase, engineers have found that directional energy weapons have many problems when dealing with ballistic missiles, the most serious of which is the interference and attenuation effect of the atmosphere on the laser beam. For the "air-based laser interception system" flying at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, the atmospheric interference and attenuation effect is not very obvious. If necessary, the "air-based laser interception system" can also be deployed on high-altitude balloons, increasing the height of the deployment platform to 20 to 2 meters, minimizing the impact of the atmosphere on the laser beam. The "ground-based laser interception system" does not have such superior conditions, even the highest altitude Mount Everest is only more than 8,000 meters. Generally speaking, the "ground-based laser interception system" is deployed in areas with an altitude of less than 2,000 meters, and the interference and attenuation effect of the atmosphere must be considered.
In order to reduce atmospheric interference, blue-green lasers with longer wavelengths must be used. The longer the wavelength of the laser, the harder it is to increase the power density. In order to reduce atmospheric attenuation, beams with larger diameters must be used, such as emitting a laser beam by reflective means, which will have a negative impact on the power density of the beam.
Many factors ultimately made the "ground-based laser interception system" a weapon system specially designed for satellites.
Relatively speaking, it is much easier to deal with satellites than ballistic missiles. Ballistic missiles need to re-enter the atmosphere, and the warheads have heat-proof and thermal insulation shields. Even if the thermal insulation shield of old ballistic missiles is not firm, as directional energy weapons gradually have practical combat capabilities, countries will definitely strengthen the warhead's own protection capabilities, so that ballistic missiles have the ability to fight against directional energy weapons. Most satellites do not have thermal insulation shields, so they cannot resist directional energy weapons. Their own protection capabilities are much worse than ballistic missiles, and they will be easier to deal with.
Before formally finalizing, the "ground laser interception system" conducted multiple tests.
Although the Republic has never disclosed relevant data and has not even admitted to secretly developing ground-based directional energy weapon systems, judging from the Republic's large-scale deployment of "ground-based laser interception systems" after 2025, the results of the finalization test will not be much worse. Even if the laser cannot completely destroy the satellite, it can cause the satellite to lose its ability to use. Because satellites are not like cars, they can be repaired if they are broken, so as long as the satellites are lost, the purpose of destruction will be achieved.
Before dawn, the heavenly soldiers in Changbai Mountain area intercepted several times.
In order to enhance the interception effect, the heavenly soldiers deployed in the Wuyi Mountain area in the southeast also entered the battle before dawn and carried out additional attacks on the "Skip Fish".
