Chapter forty-eighth

Pei Chengyi issued a combat order, but he started immediately against the Indian thugs. There are two issues involved: one is the shortest time required for troops at all levels to complete their war preparations, and the other is the fundamental purpose of air strikes.

After bombing the Andaman-Nicobar Islands, Pei Chengyi issued a preparation order to the participating troops at all levels.

There is an essential difference between combat orders and preparation orders. Some troops with higher alert levels, such as the strategic aviation force of the Yan Army, the strategic response force of the Army, etc., are in preparation for war at any time. For most troops, combat preparations will only begin after receiving the preparation order.

The main issue involved here is confidentiality.

Camouflage several aircraft carrier battle groups is nothing. The naval powers are all exploring fleet camouflage technology, especially for strategic reconnaissance methods. However, it is not so easy to disguise several hundred military bases. First, the military bases cannot be moved, and their coordinates on the earth are fixed, and important military bases are always under the surveillance of the enemy's strategic reconnaissance system. Secondly, the military bases are too large, and existing camouflage technology is difficult to achieve the purpose of deception. Even if they can deceive the enemy's strategic reconnaissance system by placing fake targets, it is impossible to achieve the effect of complete hiding. Finally, the camouflage military bases themselves are war signals. Only when they are determined to start a war can it be necessary to camouflage the military bases in adjacent war zones.

It can be seen from this that disguising a military base cannot be done, and it will expose the Republic's intention to war.

Pei Chengyi did not issue a preparation order before the war broke out, but did not want to expose the intention of the war too early, so that the navy fleet could launch an attack unexpectedly. In this way, the biggest problem brought about is that it is difficult for the participating troops at all levels to complete the preparations for combat within 6 hours.

As the best general of the Republic, Pei Chengyi could only solve the problem through other methods.

When thugs, Pei Chengyi asked early warning aircraft, strategic reconnaissance aircraft, electronic fighter aircraft and other support combat aircraft deployed in the southwest and northwest regions of the Republic to take off and go above Shannan City and the Pamir Plateau to monitor the Indian army's mobilization in eastern and northwest regions of India.

These support combat aircraft are all fully electric aircraft, which can patrol several kilograms and hours on the front line, and have the lowest dependence on logistics support. In order not to squeeze the front line air bases with tactical aviation, all support combat aircraft are deployed on second and third line bases. In order to extend the patrol time of these aircraft, the Air Force mobilized 8 power supply aircraft and set up charging airspaces over the southwest and northwest regions respectively. In this way, the patrol time of all support combat aircraft has been extended to more than hours, which is enough to provide full support and cover for the first round of air strikes.

Even in peacetime, it is very common to use early warning aircraft, strategic reconnaissance aircraft, and electronic fighter aircraft to monitor the military mobilization and deployment in hostile countries. What's more, when the war has already broken out, Pei Chengyi sent supporting combat aircraft to monitor the mobilization of Indian troops at this time, which is neither a military invasion operation nor will the Indian army be overly nervous. According to Pei Chengyi's speculation, after bombing the Andaman-Nicobar Islands, the Indian Air Force will definitely increase its security level and believe that the Republic's Air Force will immediately strike military targets in India.

This is the case in reality. The Indian Air Force entered a state of combat readiness before the thugs in the early morning of Beijing time.

According to the report sent back by the early warning aircraft, the fighters appearing over the eastern and northwest regions of India exceeded the milk racks, and they were all fighters performing air combat missions.

The opponent chose strategic defense rather than strategic offense. Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The actions of the Indian Air Force also illustrate one problem, that is, India does not believe that war will break out in Japan. In other words, India believes that war will be fought in August. Only in this way can the Indian Air Force choose strategic defense.

At this time, all Pei Chengyi could do was wait.

The participating troops at all levels began to prepare for combat at around 0 force points, and even the fastest-responsive troops would take several hours to enter the combat state. What's more, the navy's battle has not yet been achieved. Whether it is necessary to launch a comprehensive air strike against India as planned or not? What's the question?

Pei Chengyi was waiting, but Yuan Chenhao was busy calculating the upcoming air battle.

On the afternoon of the Blade, military reconnaissance satellites discovered a refueling group that arrived in Ganjibrum in southern India, about a kilometer away from Chennai, and concluded that the Indian Air Force would send the refueling planes to Andaman-Nicobar Islands to support the carrier-based aviation forces operating in the East Indian Ocean. Because the main fighter of the Indian Air Force is also the 4th fighter, and the US Navy fighter aircraft uses hose refueling devices mainly the Navy's partner refueling pods and the hose refueling system, the slewing refueling aircraft purchased by India from Europe is equipped with a hose refueling device, which can refuel the Indian Navy's first four. Although the delivery efficiency of the hose refueling system is not as good as that of the hard pipe refueling system, the gas refueling machine is enough to provide fuel for all carrier-based fighters in a fleet.

This intelligence proves the navy's inference that the Indian Navy is preparing to blockade the Straits of Malacca and Sunda Straits.

Because it is basically consistent with the navy's combat plan, Pei Chengyi did not interfere with the navy's combat operations on the afternoon of the Blade Day.

When Yuan Chenhao calculated the upcoming air battle, he had to consider this factor.

The Indian Air Force has only released tanker aircraft. If these tanker aircraft arrive at the northern battlefield, it is certain! The Air Force's combat operations provide a great helping hand. "Can the tanker aircraft at the Gangan Jibl Air Force Base return to the northern battlefield at night?

The answer is no, because the transfer of tankers is more troublesome than that of fighter jets.

If the Indian Air Force intends to send the refueling aircraft to the northern battlefield, it must first send the ground fuel supply system to an air base in the northern region. The ground fuel supply system of the refueling aircraft is much more complex and larger than that of tactical fighters, and the transportation work is very troublesome. If transport aircraft are used for air transport, the ground maintenance equipment of 8 refueling aircrafts of a refueling aircraft squadron requires thugs to receive tactical transport aircraft or 6 strategic transport aircraft. The Indian Air Force's transportation capacity is very limited. It is impossible to mobilize the refueling aircraft in such a short time. More importantly, under the threat of war, the Indian Air Force is unlikely to send the refueling aircraft to the air base in the northern region.

The tanker cannot be deployed northward, and the only way is to let the tanker go north.

Based on this situation, Yuan Chenhao quickly came up with the answer. Even if all the squad refueling aircraft headed north and fighter jets that support air defense combat missions could only support Gullfighters at most. The reason is very simple. Ganjibrum Air Force Base is too far from the front line, and the round-trip flight of the tanker will consume a lot of fuel, and the fuel that can be provided to the fighter jets is very limited. The tanker can support dart fighters at most.

With this data, the subsequent calculation is much simpler.

The Indian Air Force's air combat aircraft will not exceed the number of brewers. When the Republic's Air Force's little thug is, the first four who take off before the old point must return before 3:00. Including the time required to return, ground maintenance, and patrol the airspace again, the batch of first four can only return to the battlefield at about 6:00 a.m. The actual situation is definitely worse, because the Indian Air Force dispatched too many air combat aircraft after the outbreak of the war, and the time required for ground maintenance must be more. In addition to the quality of the Indian Air Force ground crew, it would be great that the first four who took off could return to the battlefield between 7:00 and 7:00 a.m. If something goes wrong, can it take up the points at 8:00 a.m.

It was a problem to return to the battlefield before. In this way, if the Indian Air Force dispatched the remaining air-controlling fighters at 2 o'clock, that is, let these fighters arrive over the battlefield at around 3 o'clock, then after 6 o'clock, there will be at least an old minute of air defense gap. The solution is only 2 kilograms: First, divide the remaining fighters into two batches, and take off at 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock, respectively, so as to extend the patrol time of the air defense fighter to 7 o'clock; second, let some air defense fighters that took off before return at around 2 o'clock, take off before 6 o'clock, and replace the second batch of air defense fighters at around 6 o'clock, and extend the air defense patrol time to 8 o'clock.

What tactics will the Indian Air Force adopt? You will know before 2 minutes.

At around 2 o'clock, early warning aircraft patrolling the Pamir Plateau returned the report, and some fighter jets patrolling the Indian Control Zone of Kashmir and the northwest India were returning. A few minutes later, early warning aircraft patrolling the Himalayas over Shannan City and north of Sikkim also sent back the report, and some Indian fighter jets returned.

There is no doubt that the Indian Air Force adopted the second tactic.

This discovery provided a basis for Pei Chengyi's subsequent tactical adjustments.

The Indian Air Force's reaction is enough to illustrate one problem, that is, India's war vigilance is not high, and it even believes that large-scale wars will not break out, otherwise the intensity of air defense patrols will not be reduced within the first two hours after the outbreak of the war, and the air defense fighter jets should not be withdrawn when they are likely to be hit by air at any time.

For Pei Chengyi, this is definitely a great and good disinfectant.

However, Pei Chengyi did not make a blind decision. Because the surveillance range of early warning aircraft is relatively limited, early warning aircraft patrolling over the Pamir Plateau can monitor the airspace north of New Delhi at most, while early warning aircraft patrolling over Shannan City and Sikkim can only monitor the eastern part of India and the lower reaches of the Ganges River at most. Therefore, the Indian fighter jets returning to the air base and retreating southwards, the situation detected by the early warning aircraft cannot explain the problem.

At 3 o'clock, the Military Intelligence Bureau sent the latest satellite reconnaissance report.

In order to cooperate with the front line command, the Military Intelligence Bureau used all intelligence resources, including mobilizing all reconnaissance satellites under its jurisdiction. In addition to the Military Intelligence Bureau, other intelligence departments in the Republic also had reconnaissance satellites, which closely monitored all military bases in India, especially air force bases. In order to complete the analysis work in the shortest time, thousands of intelligence analysts of the Military Intelligence Bureau voluntarily gave up their leave.

The reconnaissance satellite passed over India at about 3 o'clock. The military secret bureau completed the analysis operation with only a thug. Fen Zhong and sent the latest reconnaissance report to the front line command. This catty is efficient, and it is impossible to say it is not very effective.

After receiving the reconnaissance report provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Pei Chengyi made up his mind.

The Indian Air Force is indeed not very vigilant, which can be seen from the fact that the returning fighter jets did not prepare for takeoff in time.

After the fighter returns to the air force base, if it needs to take off again, it should replenish fuel as quickly as possible and perform necessary maintenance. The maintenance and supply system equipped for the pilot is also very advanced. In an emergency, maintenance and supply operations can be carried out in the open air; it does not need to be like the previous generation of fighters, that is, tens of thousands. The Indian combat training open air operations that must go to the constant temperature and humidity aircraft aircraft, but were dragged into a sealed hangar specially built for it. It can be concluded that these fighters will not take off immediately, or even perform the second combat readiness patrol mission before dawn.

The specific analysis is under the responsibility of Yuan Chenhao and Pei Chengyi does not need to worry about it.

At 3 o'clock, Yuan Chenhao handed over the analysis results to Pei Chengyi.

The Indian Air Force will not send more air combat aircraft than young aircraft, and the air combat aircraft will not send more than 4 aircraft before 4. In this way, after 7 o'clock, the number of fighters performing air defense patrol missions on the front line will definitely not exceed four aircraft, including about field aircraft deployed in the northwest direction and about some aircraft deployed in the east direction.

After obtaining Yuan Chenhao's analysis report, Pei Chengyi did not immediately adjust the combat operations.

It is almost the same as expected, and there is no need to adjust the combat strategy thug.

At that time, Pei Chengyi considered two situations: one was to annihilate the eastern Indian fleet before 6 o'clock, which attracted the attention of the Indian Air Force, which forced the Indian Air Force to strengthen its air defense force; the other was to fail to annihilate the eastern Indian fleet before 6 o'clock, and the Indian Air Force was still careless.

Relatively speaking, Pei Chengyi only needs to consider the former situation.

With the destruction of the eastern Indian fleet, the Republic's war intentions were fully exposed. Even if the Indian Air Force was not good, it would not be careless. However, it was too late to react at this time. Even if the Indian Air Force responded very quickly, and immediately dispatched air combat aircraft after taking up 6 o'clock, it would take at least a thug to be between 7 o'clock. The air combat aircraft sent by the Indian Air Force could reach the northwest and eastern regions.

The previous situation shows that the Indian Air Force's reaction speed cannot reach such a fast speed.

Those first four fighters who have returned to the hangar will definitely release the remaining oil in the fuel tank and conduct a comprehensive maintenance and inspection of the fighter. Even if the Indian Air Force receives an alarm at 6 o'clock and issues an attack order immediately, each combat force will need to break minutes until the thug is at the time to complete the take-off preparation. Fighters rush to the front line from different airports, about minutes to stumble. In other words, the Indian Air Force's reinforcement fighter can only arrive at 7 o'clock at the fastest, and the slowest must wait until 8 o'clock. Because the distance between the air bases and the front line is not consistent, the air-controlling fighters that arrive in batches cannot form a joint force, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the Republic Air Force in the battle for air supremacy.

For modern wars where victory or defeat is calculated in seconds and minutes, any mistake will cause irreparable losses, let alone such a serious mistake.

According to the combat strategy formulated by Pei Chengyi, after the navy annihilates two Indian fleets, the air strike will begin before 8 o'clock.

The gap of half an hour is enough to determine the final success or failure.

It can be seen from this that as the craftsman of the war, Pei Chengyi knew Mao very well

In other words, his two years in Pakistan were not in vain.

As a senior general of the Republic in Pakistan, Pei Chengyi did the most in addition to communicating with the Pakistani army when he was working in Islamabad, in addition to communicating with the Pakistani army, the most important thing he did was to help the Pakistani army improve its combat command system. In order to prove that the new command system can more effectively exert the combat capabilities of the Pakistani army, Pei Chengyi participated in several small-scale military operations in two years, including provocative actions against the Indian Air Force. Taking the "Friendship Autumn in the Autumn of the Ao China-Pakistan Joint Military Exercise" in the old month of the year as an example, Pei Chengyi, as the commander-in-chief of the Republic's exercise, formulated a "sudden strike action plan" and thugs.

React. Although this reaction speed is much faster than many years ago, it is still far from keeping up with the pace of modern warfare. You should know that in the same situation, the Republic Air Force only needs to take a blade minute to react, allowing all fighters at the front line base to take off, and at the same time sending air-control fighters deployed in the second line base, which can increase the air-control fighters on the front line several times within a minute. In a few minutes, the first batch of reinforced fighters arrived at the front line until the first batch of reinforced fighters arrived at the front line. After the persuasion, it was only after the persuasion minutes that the air-control fighters deployed in the second line base were dispatched, and after the minor minutes, the air-control fighters deployed in the second line base were increased several times.

If the Indian Air Force still faces this speed, the bombing will be over before its air defense fighter jets take off.

Failure to adjust the combat plan does not mean that Pei Chengyi has no worries.

Behind India is the United States, and the number one imaginary enemy of the United States is the Republic. As long as the United States is willing, it will provide greater assistance to India and help the Indian Air Force establish a more complete command system. Although various signs indicate that the Indian Air Force has not only not made progress but has deteriorated, there is no assumption of the war. Only when sufficient preparations are made can we take timely response measures when the mutation occurs.

At 4 o'clock, Pei Chengyi personally contacted the Strategic Defense Command.

Because according to Wang Yuanqing's arrangement, the strategic force was not controlled by the front line command, Pei Chengyi did not include the strategic force in the combat sequence of the front line command and could only issue combat orders to it alone.
