Volume 10 Dragon Nine Heavens Chapter 22 The Chance of the Ace Captain
, Yueri, Pei Chengyi came to the intelligence processing center of the front line command early in the morning
Although the infrastructure is built with prefabricated parts, the equipment inside is not inferior to the regular command center of the General Staff, and is even more advanced. In order to maintain these equipment, Pei Chengyi tried every means to transfer several technical officers and non-commissioned officers from the troops stationed in Pakistan. In order to ensure the safety of the front-line command center, the troops stationed in Pakistan also sent a guard battalion to arrange a guard squad for Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao. In order to ensure the enthusiasm of the staff officers, Pei Chengyi transferred a kitchen squad and several sets of field cooking equipment from the General Staff. In order to allow the staff officers to relax in their spare time, Pei Chengyi also created a set of cinema equipment and built a "mobile library". Basically, everyone thought of it. As long as you don't cross the barbed wire that surrounded the command center, you can't feel that this place is a foreign country.
High investment will naturally bring high returns.
After many days of busyness, the frontline command not only came up with a complete war plan, but also formulated specific combat plans for each unit. Because the war plan needs to be approved by the head of state in person, Pei Chengyi had nothing else to do for the time being, so he went to the intelligence center early in the morning to see if there was any new one.
condition.
"The news I received on the Internet last night." Yuan Chenhao was more active than Pei Chengyi because this combat operation was more important to him.
"What news?" Pei Chengyi put down his coffee cup.
"The Indian fleet has left Visakhapatnam and Kochi. The last photo taken by the reconnaissance satellite shows that the eastern fleet of the Indian Navy is heading southeast, which is the direction of the Andaman-Nicobar Islands, while the western fleet is heading south at full speed, probably preparing to bypass Sri Lanka and enter the Bay of Bengal."
"Click out the photos and show me
Yuan Chenhao pulled out satellite reconnaissance photos from his computer.
The photo was not enlarged, there were only a few small black dots with white tails, and the north direction was marked in the upper right corner.
After watching for a while, Mu Chengyi took out his Fengyan.
It is not difficult to judge the direction and speed of the fleet. As long as you know the wind direction and wind speed, ocean current direction and speed of the fleet's sea area, you can judge the sailing speed and direction of the warship through the tail of the warship, that is, the width, length and reflection intensity of the white tail in the photo, and you can even roughly judge the displacement of the warship, determine whether the warship is sailing with full load or light load, so as to determine what tasks the warship is carrying out. These are the most basic intelligence technologies. Pei Chengyi only needs to understand the basic situation roughly and does not need to master accurate judgment and analysis methods.
After hesitating for a while, Pei Chengyi stuffed the cigarette into his mouth. Yuan Chenhao handed over the lighter and he came to his senses.
"Have you notified the Navy?"
"I have notified it and contacted the Port of Tengmali." Yuan Chenhao glanced at his watch and said. "Although Sri Lanka did not open a military base to us, the Navy sent two long-range patrol aircraft in the name of transporting returning personnel. If there is no accident, there will be the latest reconnaissance report soon."
"It seems that the Indian Navy is ready to intercept our aircraft carrier battle group."
Yuan Chenhao smiled and said, "Is this a matter of time? In terms of time, the two Indian fleets will probably arrive at the southern waters of Greater Nicoba on the night of 31. If the Indian Navy is more conservative, it is very likely that the two fleets will be placed here. In this way, whether our flight thugs and the female combat group enters the Indian Ocean from the Strait of Malacca or from the Sunda Strait, they will enter the surveillance range of Indian carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft and carrier-based early warning aircraft, and will be attacked first by the Indian fleet. If the Indian Navy is a little more courageous, it will send a fleet to the waters south of Sumatra and focus on blocking the Sunda Strait. In this way, even if our aircraft carrier combat group goes to the Strait of Malacca, it will be discovered when passing through the Strait of Singapore. The Indian fleet has enough time to return to defense.
"The key is whether the Indian Navy can accurately grasp the accurate trends of our aircraft carrier battle group.
Yuan Chenhao nodded and said, "If we cannot make an accurate judgment, the Indian Navy is likely to be a turtle and place both fleets in the Bay of Bengal west of the Andaman-Nicobar Islands. Use shore-based patrol aircraft deployed in the archipelago and speedboats from Port Blair to search for our aircraft carrier battle group, and even use shore-based combat aircraft to carry out the first round of strikes. Even if our aircraft carrier battle group goes through the Sunda Strait, the Indian Navy can use long-range maritime patrol aircraft and anti-submarine patrol aircraft deployed in the Andaman-Nicobar Islands and their local areas to monitor the main waterways, expanding the defense circle to 1,500 kilometers or even more than 2,000 kilometers. The Indian Navy's aircraft carrier battle group stays in the Bay of Bengal, waiting for the best opportunity."
Pei Chengyi glanced at Yuan Chenhao and said, "It seems that you can serve in the Navy."
"I? General Pei, you,"
"I'm just kidding. Is it Mu Qingyun or Hua Jianfeng who is commanding the aircraft carrier battle group?"
"Mu Qingyun is the highest commander of the fleet. He directly commands the South China Sea Fleet, while Hua Jianfeng is the commander of the East China Sea Fleet."
"They are together, so there is no big problem." Pei Chengyi wiped out the cigarette butts and said, "Contact the Navy Command and let them report the situation every four hours."
"Do you need this to be frequent?"
"Only by grasping the situation accurately, we know what to do next."
Yuan Chenhao didn't ask any more questions, found the communications officer and contacted the Navy Command.
Thousands of kilometers away, Mu Qingyun and Hua Jianfeng were discussing combat operations through video calls.
In the Japanese War, Mu Qingyun was promoted to the navy for his performance in the "Four Kingdoms Sea Anger Battle". He continued to serve as commander of the South China Sea Fleet and also commander of the South China Sea Fleet aircraft carrier battle group. Hua Jianfeng was also promoted for his outstanding performance in commanding submarine operations. He also served as commander of the East China Sea Fleet aircraft carrier battle group.
As three "Beijing" class aircraft carriers have been put into service one after another, the navy's command system has also undergone major changes.
The fleet command, which was important in the navy in the past, was weakened and became a civilian management department, which was only responsible for the promotion, welfare and mobilization of officers and soldiers. The aircraft carrier battle group that was not valued in the past was strengthened and became the basic surface combat unit of the navy. In addition to being responsible for daily training in China and abroad, it is also responsible for the main combat operations. The reform of the navy's command system is nominally giving full play to the combat effectiveness of the navy, but actually opening up the way for the reform of the military's command system. It can even be said that the reform of the navy is very large and the theater commander actively promoted by Xiang Yinghui.
The relationship between the naval commands responsible for all directions and regions according to Xiang Yinghui's vision, the naval combat forces will be organized into the various theater commands according to wartime needs. It will be possible to replace the traditional fleet with a more flexible aircraft carrier combat group and strengthen the naval's global deployment capabilities. The naval takes the lead. As long as the new organizational system can adapt to the needs of the war, Xiang Yinghui has enough reason to convince the head of state to agree to establish the theater command. It is precisely because Xiang Yinghui and Lin Xiaolei can get together under the contradictions.
It is precisely this reform that made Hua Jianfeng a big celebrity in the Navy.
Mu Qingyun and Mo Hailing were both naval generals of Lin Xiaolei's generation, and Hua Jianfeng was one generation late. Even if Lin Xiaolei left the position of the naval commander, it was not Mu Qingyun, who were over the years, who would choose a new naval commander from Hua Jianfeng's group of lieutenant generals under the age of age. Hua Jianfeng was able to become the commander of the East China Sea Fleet aircraft carrier battle group at this time, which is enough to prove his status in the navy.
After the two communicated, they decided not to adjust the action plan thug for the time being.
After video conference networking, Hua Jianfeng returned to the commander bridge of the "Beijing".
As early as two years ago, when the "Beijing" was completed and put into service, Lin Xiaolei incorporated the Republic's latest aircraft carrier into the East China Sea Fleet, and did not replace the aircraft carrier serving in the South China Sea Fleet with the "Beijing". In addition to consolidating his position in the East China Sea Fleet, his biggest intention was to support Hua Fafeng.
According to tradition, all the latest aircraft carriers in the Republic will be incorporated into the South China Sea Fleet.
This has little to do with the choice of strategic direction. It is mainly that the sea area where the South China Sea Fleet is located is more suitable for aircraft carriers for adaptive training and can form combat effectiveness faster. Starting from the "Huaxia" class, this tradition has been preserved. Although after the Japanese War, by controlling the Ryukyu Islands and turning the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea into the Republic's "Inner Sea" fleet could complete all training work in the East China Sea, the status of the South China Sea Fleet is still higher than that of the East China Sea Fleet. Even after Naha Port officially became the military port of the Republic, this situation has not changed.
For this matter, Lin Xiaolei also reported to the Chief of General Staff and the Head of State many times the development of the navy.
In the eyes of many people, it is not reasonable to weaken the East China Sea Fleet and strengthen the South China Sea Fleet. According to external estimates, even after the Japanese War, the Republic should not put its main force on the South China Sea, but should face the broader Pacific Ocean. The status of the East China Sea Fleet should definitely be above the South China Sea Fleet. From a longer-term perspective, the Republic's Navy should build an ocean-going fleet based on the East China Sea Fleet that can conduct combat missions in the Pacific. As long as the Western Pacific Ocean is defended, the South China Sea Fleet will not be much pressure.
Lin Xiaolei must have his plans for doing this.
As the naval general who Lin Xiaolei focused on Pei, Hua Jianfeng knew the naval commander's idea very well.
He focuses on the south and ignores the east, and is not very laughing with Lin Xiaolei from the South China Sea Fleet, but has a laughing series with the second batch of "Beijing"-class aircraft carriers that have been slowly built.
According to the initial Jingfa, the second batch of "Beijing"-class aircraft carriers will be served before Tiannian, that is, before Lin Xiaolei retired, thereby increasing the Republic's aircraft carrier battle group to the branch and allowing the Republic's Navy to gain the basic strength to confront the US Navy. It can be said that building a powerful fleet that can challenge the US Navy on a global scale was Lin Xiaolei's lifelong goal. Seeing that this goal was about to be achieved, it turned out to be a bubble because of the strategic decision of the head of state.
According to the latest construction plan, the second batch of aircraft carriers in Beijing class will be in service in Lili year, not to mention that they can be in service before 2 years. In this way, when the third batch of aircraft carriers in Beijing class is completed and put into service, the three "Huaxia" class carriers are about to retire. The Republic's Navy has an Oriental Armature aircraft carrier battle group, and the time for obtaining real global deployment and global action capabilities will be postponed until after the past years.
Time is unforgiving, Lin Xiaolei can't wait. The Republic's Navy can't wait either.
In order to put pressure on the senior management, Lin Xiaolei chose the "circumcision" route.
Strengthening the South China Sea Fleet was exactly the method Lin Xiaolei took.
Everyone knows that the East China Sea Fleet is the main force of the Republic's Navy's Navy's advancement to the Pacific Ocean. If the East China Sea Fleet fails to achieve a day, the Republic's Navy has to play in the "bathtub" close to the mainland. If it cannot go to the ocean far away from the mainland, it will not be able to gain the strength to compete directly with the United States.
However, no matter how shrewd Lin Xiaolei is, he is not the opponent of the head of state.
After the Japanese War, Lin Xiaolei applied for Hua Jianfeng not the commander of the East China Sea Fleet aircraft carrier battle group. Instead, the head of the South China Sea Fleet aircraft carrier battle group pointed out that when approving the application, he tampered with Hua Jianfeng's "strike" fleet. At the same time, he was promoted to Jianfeng as a lieutenant general.
This change made Lin Xiaolei very passive and difficult to refute.
In desperation, after the three "Beijing" class aircraft carriers were put into service one after another, Lin Xiaolei left all the three latest aircraft carriers in the East China Sea Fleet in one go. According to Hua Jianfeng's guess, Lin Xiaolei was doing this. Mostly he was demonstrating to the head of state. This is exactly Lin Xiaolei's temper. Since the head of state hopes to strengthen the East China Sea Fleet, then strengthen the East China Sea Fleet.
However, Lin Xiaolei was defeated by the head of state again.
The head of state not only did not oppose the navy's organizational adjustment, but instead supported Lin Xiaolei's decision, allowing all the new aircraft carriers to stay in the East China Sea Fleet, and also gave the Kaohsiung Port, which originally belonged to the South China Sea Fleet, to the East China Sea Fleet, so that the East China Sea Fleet could obtain a military port facing the South China Sea.
This change made Lin Xiaolei's wishful thinking fail.
Since the East China Sea Fleet has a military port facing the South China Sea, it is naturally capable of fighting in the South China Sea and even further away from the Indian Ocean, without looking at the face of the South China Sea Fleet.
After two rounds of battle, Lin Xiaolei was defeated, which also made him lose his temper.
What benefits from this is naturally Hua Jianfeng.
Although Hua Jianfeng is only an officer of the East China Sea Fleet aircraft carrier battle group, his actual power is above Yin Haig, the commander of the East China Sea Fleet. More importantly, Hua Jianfeng has the three most powerful aircraft carrier battle groups in the Republic. He also has the most powerful fleet in the Republic.
After deciding to send troops to the Indian Ocean, Lin Xiaolei once again found out that he was not the head of state's opponent.
If Dou Haig leads the team, not only will the command of the South China Sea Fleet be handed over to the East China Sea Fleet, Hua Jianfeng will not be able to play. For Lin Xiaolei's focus and cultivation of the lieutenant general, whether he can make the most of the achievements in this war will be of decisive significance to whether he can become the commander of the navy in the future. If Mu Qingyun is allowed to lead the team, Hua Jianfeng will be the first to win the battle. Mu Qingyun is much more rational than Lin Xiaolei and never fights against the head of state in the construction of the navy. If Mu Qingyun really climbs up, Lin Xiaolei's grand development plan for the Republican navy will all be a bubble.
No matter how you choose, Lin Xiaolei is a loser.
The two evils are the least, and Lin Xiaolei had to let Mu Qingyun lead the team and let Hua Jianfeng be Mu Qingyun's deputy.
When the fleet left Zhoushan Military Port, Lin Xiaolei came to see him off in person.
Of course, the main purpose is not to see off the fleet. Because according to the navy tradition, it is very unlucky to see off the fleet to the battlefield. Lin Xiaolei only has one purpose, that is, to be especially so, Ding Guihua Jianfeng, so that he could try his best to seize the opportunity to make contributions.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaolei also went to Yulin Port and talked to Mu Qingyun alone.
Hua Jianfeng knew very well about the arrangements of the naval commander.
Mu Qingyun is old, no matter how ambitious he has, he can't stand his body. He will retire after working for a few years. Instead of taking credit, it is better to give it to his later generations. At this point, Mu Qingyun's attention is also very open-minded. Facts have proved that he is not an ambitious general. Among his generation of naval generals, Mu Qingyun is already very satisfied to be the commander of the South China Sea Fleet. You must know that many generals who are similar to him have retired long ago, and those who have not retired are mostly "unemployed." They don't even have a formal position. More importantly, as a naval soldier, Mu Qingyun knows that the development of the navy requires the efforts of several generations, and no navy can grow and grow on the basis of a generation.
It can be said that Hua Jianfeng is very lucky.
Among the naval generals of his age, Du Xinghua was satisfied with being the principal of the Navy Submarine Academy and Liu Haifeng became the commander of the submarine force, many other officers, especially those from the submarine force, did not even have the chance to become generals, let alone the treasure who won the naval commander.
.
Hua Jianfeng, who was born in the submarine force, can be regarded as an inevitable law of naval development.
Before the surface fleet of the Republic Navy played the lead role, the submarine force was the most powerful combat force of the Republic Navy and the most easiest combat position to make contributions. Although the second military reform reduced the proportion of military merit in promotion, many potential leaders had opportunities for promotion before this. More importantly, among the generation of naval generals of Hua Jianfeng, there were not many talents from the surface fleet and aviation, and their abilities were relatively single. There was almost no lieutenant general in the surface fleet who could be as famous as Hua Jianfeng. In the aviation army, Liang Guoxiang went to the Navy Logistics Equipment Office to be responsible for the development of the navy's equipment. Zhu Ronghui became the commander of the navy's aviation and was almost impossible to become the commander of the navy.
Ultimately, this has a lot to do with the development route of the Republic's Navy.
Reused, Hua Jianfeng felt tremendous pressure.
In combat operations, Mu Qingyun gave Hua Jianfeng great autonomy, saying that the South China Sea Fleet was only assisting forces, and all actions were considered to be the main one.
Hua Jianfeng means Jiang Chumu Qingyun.
If you fight well, the credit is Hua Jianfeng's. If you break it, the responsibility is Hua Jianfeng's.
Hua Jianfeng doesn't want to fall into the hands of the mortal enemy who made him famous in one battle.
