'The subsidence operation and air strikes were launched almost at the same time.

After experiencing old wars and peninsula wars, the combat capabilities of the Republic's airborne troops have become famous. Many times, foreign news media and even "airborne troops" represent the Republic's army. In the eyes of foreign journalists, those airborne troops that fell from the sky and faced the enemy's armored troops without fear are the real portrayal of the Republic's modern army. However, the armored soldiers of the Republic's army have been forgotten by many people.

Military strategy: Soldiers are the most important.

Compared with other combat troops, airborne troops best reflect the "speed of soldiers".

Based on the usual airborne combat distance of 500 meters, airborne troops can reach the target within 1 hour. It takes 24 hours to deploy the formation to complete the deployment. Other combat troops will take several days or even days to arrive. Because the combat operations of airborne troops are very fast, many countries call airborne troops "flying infantry".

Initially, the surrendered troops of the Republic belonged to the Air Force, were independent armies of the Air Force, and the airborne troops were assigned to the Air Force. It had a lot to do with its combat method. There was no air force transport aircraft. The soldiers were simply infantry and their advantages would be gone. After the military reform, the surrendered troops were transferred to the Army and became independent armies of the Army. Although according to the combat method, the airborne troops were still mainly engaged in surface combat. Unlike other combat forces of the Air Force, the airborne troops were mainly engaged in air strikes. However, after the transfer to the Army, the problem of airborne troops was also exposed. That is, there was no air transport force directly affiliated with the Airborne troops. For this reason, the Army proposed to expand the Army's aviation force in 200 to divide the transport aircraft into the Army's aviation force. In the end, because of the firm opposition of the Air Force, the Army's proposal did not come to approval. The Army's separate establishment of air transport capacity was not both realistic and a serious waste of resources.

During the second military reform, the General Staff made adjustments to the "Ship Army's transport aircraft fleet. After the joint command mechanism gradually formed, the transport aircraft fleet affiliated with the Air Force supported the aviation force adopted a dual-rail organization and was responsible for the Air Force. During combat operations, it followed the dispatch of the airborne troops. For this reason, the Army also drew a large amount of money from the tight military budget. Jointly improved the Y-14y-15 with the Air Force and purchased an additional batch of transport aircraft to strengthen airborne delivery capabilities.

The airlift power is a microcosm of the "Lian-Wao Mechanism".

Driven by the combined efforts of the Air Force and the Army, when the war broke out, the size of the Republic transport aircraft group had exceeded that of the US military. It became the most powerful air transport force in the world. Tactical transport aircraft accounted for 2 of the total of 360 transport aircraft. Large strategic transport aircraft accounted for one-third. If calculated according to the air transport efficiency, the air transport capacity of the Republic Air Force is about 150% of the US Air Force's support air force. Mainly, the Y-14c and Y-15b used a 12-level composite battery with higher energy levels and a larger propulsion motor with significantly improved single-slot transport capacity. The comprehensive adoption of module design and

After the construction process, the maintenance volume of a single unit is 50% lower than the prototype. Take the y-14c as an example. When carrying 35 (the standard weight of 2 airborne shifts), the person who can fly 4,500 meters in one way will send the troops to 00 kilometers away. The mission will take 4 hours. The air transport efficiency is 74% higher than the US Air Force's C-130k, 52% higher than the C-160 jointly developed by Europe. A 24 Y-14 of a brigade can airdrop all the combat forces of an airborne battalion. If the material air transport mission is performed, a brigade 24y-14 can transport 50 tons of combat materials outside 00 meters within the time limit!

After the Peninsula Contest, the Republic launched the second round of military reforms.

Any military reform is based on military theory. In the military reform initiated by Ji Youguo, the military theory promoted is "high-tech war". No one denies the significant impact of science and technology on modern warfare. However, any science and technology influence the war through a specific form. In this case, when Zhao Rundong launched the second round of military reforms, the General Staff proposed the military theory of "airing of military power"

The core idea of ​​this theory is: the degree of airlift determines the actual strike ability of the army.

In the eyes of ordinary people, air-based" emphasizes the position of the pillar of air-based strikes in war. Relatively speaking, air-based strikes are only the primary stage of "air-based". The real "air-based" means that military forces are based on air platforms. The operation capability directly determines the military's investment ability. The "air-based" theory not only affects the air force but also the army and the navy.

In the past three years, the Republic's Air Force has hardly purchased new warplanes, but instead has made great efforts to strengthen air transport capabilities. It has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on purchasing and improving transport aircraft.

There is no doubt that the air's foundation is not fighter jets and bombers. It is a transport aircraft.

Although air freight efficiency is often not as good as sea freight and land freight, the speed of air freight is far greater than sea freight and land freight. In high-intensity modern warfare, it can determine the outcome of the war more than efficiency. What is more important is that with the scale of all electric transport aircraft being put into use, the cost of transportation has been effectively solved. Take y-15b as an example. The unit transportation cost (per ton/km) is only 06 yuan, which is 90% lower than that of transport aircraft using turbine engines. Only five times the land freight (rail) of 2'.

Transported

. Set the foundation for "airlifting".

Because the fully electric transport aircraft was not developed, the US military did not fully implement "airing" and the full implementation of "airing" was established. The position of the "main force" of the surrendered troops was established. As the first participating force of the army (the special forces team was directly affiliated to the General Staff Department and not the army organization). All three airborne troops dispatched combat troops as soon as possible.

5, 15 minutes. The bombing operation has just begun. The first batch of y-15b transport aircraft arrived at Taoyuan Air Force Base.

The platform guarding Taoyuan had received the order from Guo Ming. No resistance was made. He took the initiative to hand over the air base's defense to the coming Republic Airborne Army. The 24y-15b not only sent two reorganized airborne battalions of the 153rd Brigade, but also sent two charge equipment. He prepared for the arrival of subsequent transport aircraft.

In the next few hours, the y-14 and y-15b aircraft continued to cross the Taiwan Strait.

By 2312 o'clock, in addition to the three airborne battalions that were airborne 153, there were also 3 combat battalions, 1 artillery battalion and 1 air defense battalion affiliated to the 771st Brigade of the Express Rebellion arrived in Taoyuan. After the combat supplies arrived one after another, the Express Rebellion 771st Brigade replaced the Taiwan army fighting in the east. In the evening of the 23rd, marched towards Taipei.

Because Taoyuan is under the control of Zhongming Taiwan Army, air transport is not very difficult.

After the airborne troops controlled Tao Air Force Base, in order to reduce the pressure on the transport fleet, the Air Force mobilized civil aviation passenger planes and civil aviation cargo planes to Taoyuan to transport combat personnel and combat supplies. Only heavy combat equipment and large equipment need to be transported by transport aircraft.

The operations of the war forces to Taiwan International Airport were launched at the same time.

Less than 5,0'. The first batch of 12y-15b transport aircraft arrived at North International Airport. The 3rd Airborne Battalion guarding the airport sent dozens of airborne combat vehicles and hundreds of tons of combat supplies. A 77th Army Air Defense Battalion was sent to Taipei International Airport to strengthen the air defense capabilities of the airport.

Before dawn, the second batch of 12y-15b transport planes arrived at North International Airport.

Unlike the first batch of transport aircraft, this time it was delivered with a armored heavy combat equipment installed from the 541st Brigade. It was not until heavy tanks painted with the Republican Army logo appeared at various exits of the airport and blocked the airport. The Japanese spy who were lying at the Taipei International Airport suddenly woke up.

Although there is only one armored battalion and three airborne battalions, the rebels pose no threat to it at all.

After dawn, the rebels entrenched in Taipei dispatched three battalions of troops to attack the airport. When the rebels rushing in the front were destroyed by the armored battalion's counterattack, dozens of tanks were destroyed. The rebels lost the courage to continue attacking. Only defensive formations were deployed outside the airport to prevent the Republic's army from expanding the scope of occupation.

During the first batch of airborne operations, the airborne troops heading to Yilan finally arrived.

Occupy Yilan is counted as "extra mission". If the commander of the Yilan defender was loyal to Guo Ming, he not only did not participate in the military coup, but also openly claimed that Li Xiangzhi was a "traitor". The airborne troops would not rush to march into Yilan. In order to protect the patriotic officers and soldiers on the island to the maximum extent, Xiang Hui adjusted his combat plan at the last moment and ordered the airborne troops to deploy a combat force to Yilan as quickly as possible to stabilize the Yilan defender.

Because the rebels did not focus on attacking Yilan, they only sent two airborne battalions.

The entire air transport work was completed a day ago. The Yilan defenders took the initiative to cooperate with the arrival of the Republic's airborne troops and provided necessary assistance to the airborne troops.

The real airborne combat operation begins after the bombing is over.

It is one goal to prevent the Japanese army from landing in Taiwan on a large scale. It is another goal to quickly defeat the rebels.

When choosing the purpose of airborne, Xiang Huiding first attacked Keelung. The reason is very simple. Keelung is not only outside Taipei, but also the main base of the Taiwan Navy. He captured Keelung at a speed of lightning speed. In addition to allowing the Taiwan Navy, which participated in the military coup, to surrender, he could also open the door to Taipei. After all, air transport cannot solve all problems. A large amount of heavy equipment needs to be transported by ships. Only by occupying Keelung can the transport fleet arrive in Taiwan smoothly.

6. The first batch of airborne troops landed smoothly outside Keelung Airport.

The rebels only carried out limited resistance. Then they actively shrank their defense line. Around dawn, the second batch of airborne troops arrived. After adjusting the deployment, the airborne department began to push towards the airport.

The battle went very smoothly. The rebels suppressed in the air did not pose much threat to the airborne troops.

Because the Air Force dispatched 12dy-14c electronic warplanes to suppress electronic interference across Taiwan. The Taiwanese community in cooperation with the Military Intelligence Bureau cut off the island's communication lines after the war began. So when the airborne troops rushed into Keelung Airport, Li Xiangzhi, who was commanding the rebels' operations, did not know what had happened.

War is ruthless. The disadvantaged side can only be passively beaten.

Within the first three hours after the war began, the Republic's Heavenly War Air Force and the Land demonstrated their strong strike capabilities and comprehensive combat capabilities.
