Chapter 87 The Navy's Performance
.Moon and day at night. The whole world is paying attention to the Republic Army's pride on the battlefield on the Western Front, comparing. The Republic's Navy fleet entering the Bay of Bengal bombed the Visakhapatnam military port.
Unlike previous naval battles, three teams of military journalists who were carrying the USS Beijing aircraft carrier battle group in Singapore reported the entire operation. According to the instructions of the General Staff and the State Council, Yang Jinjie even asked two journalists with HNA service experience to board a carrier-based early warning aircraft and followed the attack aircraft group that performed strike missions to go to the front line, and personally experienced the fighting atmosphere. The two military journalists did not waste such a rare opportunity. In the cabin of the early warning aircraft, they made a live report to audiences all over the world through military communication channels.
Because the straight-line distance between Visakhapatnam and Shannan area of the Republic was less than the thug. On the 3rd, two large-scale bombings were carried out on it, destroying the air defense positions of Gongwei Army Port and the nearby naval aviation base. Although the Indian army sent an air defense brigade equipped with a two-deformed maneuverable air defense missile system to Visakhapatnam, according to the information provided by the Air Force, the maximum firing height of the Indian army's mobility field air defense system shall not exceed meters and the maximum firing range shall not exceed kilometers. Yang Jinjie only arranged for Xu to perform air defense suppression missions.
It seemed that the mission was easy enough, and Yang Jinjie dispatched troops completely according to the standard aviation combat mode.
According to normal attendance rates, the six carrier-based aviation gangs sent thugs to support strike forces composed of carrier-based fighter jets. In order to avoid gossip among the officers and soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet. When Yang Jinjie arranged combat missions, the East China Sea Fleet focused more on seizing air supremacy, and the South China Sea Fleet undertakes the main strike mission.
This arrangement made the officers and soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet dissatisfied.
After completing the combat mission of annihilation of the Indian fleet, because the fleet no longer needed to sail in covertly, Haina sent three small thugs to the South China Sea Fleet, making the aviation strength of the South China Sea Fleet reach the standard level. According to the officers and soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet, when Hua Jianfeng and Yang Jinjie were in a position to fight, they should not favor the South China Sea Fleet. The real main force is the East China Sea Fleet.
Regardless of whether the officers and soldiers complained or not, Yang Jinjie did not adjust the combat plan. The thugs took on the air defense suppression task and specifically attacked the Indian army's mobile air defense system. In addition, they went out to bomb the ground targets of the Visakhapatnam Port and destroyed the infrastructure of the military port. The three aviation corps of the South China Sea Fleet dispatched 4 aircraft each and said that Xiao Aluminum needed to undertake some air control tasks, all fighter jets carried ammunition in the way of attacking sea targets. The main task was to eliminate Indian warships hidden in the Visakhapatnam Port. Because anti-ship missiles can also strike fixed targets on the ground after inputting different guidance instructions, and can even deal with slow targets on the ground. Therefore, after completing the task of attacking the Indian fleet, if there is any remaining ammunition, the task of attacking the port's ground targets will be carried out.
It is indeed a bit too much to use thugs to bomb the military port with fighter jets.
However, the Indian army did not surrender because the opponent was too strong.
As early as the morning of the day, the Indian army received a warning from the United States that the Chinese fleet entering the Bay of Bengal did not divide the troops into two groups, but turned northwards collectively and approached Visakhapatnam. Needless to say, the Chinese Navy is not very much about letting go of the Indian warships that escaped in the previous naval battles and trying to kill the Indian Navy.
Starting from day and night, the Indian Navy has strengthened the air defense patrol force of Visakhapatnam.
Although the Indian Navy's aircraft carriers were wiped out, the Indian Navy's aviation was not wiped out. Before the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the boundaries between the Indian Navy's aviation and the Air Force were very clear. Only aircraft deployed on aircraft carriers and warships belonged to the Navy's aviation. All aircraft deployed onshore, including anti-submarine patrol aircraft belonged to the Air Force. If the Navy's aviation fighter jets need to go ashore and rest, they can only rent a base from the Air Force. After the Fourth India-Pakistan War, India adjusted the mission scope of the Navy's aviation and the Air Force, classified all aviation forces used for naval operations into the Navy, and allowed the Navy to
The aviation corps had a shore base. Taking this opportunity, the Indian Navy Air Force formed a shore-based aviation corps in the form of the Republic's Navy. It also established an aviation base near all large naval bases. When the war broke out, the Indian Navy Air Force not only had 6 carrier-based aviation corps, but also had a shore-based aviation corps. In addition to 3 support corpses and anti-submarine patrol aircraft corps, the rest were tactical fighter corps equipped with Ma Si. In order to improve the universality rate and provide additional forces for the carrier-based aviation corps in the war, the first four of the Indian Navy's coast-based aviation tactical fighter corps are ship-based models.
It has to be admitted that the Indian Navy has indeed spent money.
Because the Indian Navy Air Force was not completely wiped out, the Republic Air Force did not go south after two unsuccessful bombings of Visakhapatnam, which had never gone south again and left the difficult bones to chew to the navy. At that time, it was not that the Air Force did not want to seize military achievements, but that the tasks in other aspects were too heavy. Visakha was afraid that Tnan was not the primary bombing target of the Air Force, so naturally there was no reason to help the navy take the mercenary from the navy.
It is precisely because Yang Jinjie had to go out to fight the little thug.
Because the fleet is less than a thousand meters away from Visakhapatnam, after the early warning aircraft reached the thug's 40 meters combat patrol altitude, they found the Ma 4 aircraft group that appeared above the Bay of Bengal to the east of Visakhapatnam.
The little thug Zhaoji group did not delay the time and immediately sprinted at full speed after taking off.
With some clever points, the first round of air battle begins.
The young thug sent by the aircraft carrier "Beijing" Zhao faced the old thug of the Indian Navy's aviation army
Although it is still more than a thousand meters away from the combat airspace, the battlefield information collected by two journalists who had served at HNA for several years through early warning aircraft made the battle very scattered. Of course, the audience behind did not buy it. No matter how exciting the reporter's commentary was, the audience could not feel the intensity of the battle without seeing the battle.
In fact, the battle is not fierce.
Previous battles have proved that in terms of air control performance, Shi Miao is not a small thug-type early warning aircraft and cannot provide accurate battlefield information for the 4 guillotines.
After successfully killing the first batch of Shitian, Xiaojiu from another aircraft carrier arrived at the battlefield one after another.
In order to maximize the scope of activities of the Indian Navy aviation, the small thugs took the initiative to talk, and the Guji Front talked about the sky above Visakhapatnam.
The mutual points occupy the points and perform the air defense and suppression mission, the Xiaoxu aircraft group actually lowered the flight altitude to Dankanmi and actively entered the strike range of the Indian air defense system. This is also what fighter aircraft performing the air defense suppression mission must do. Only by inducing the enemy's air defense system to start the search and tracking radar can the enemy's air defense system be locked. Then use faster anti-radiation missiles to strike the enemy's air defense system.
It can be said that among all kinds of ground strike tasks, the air defense and suppression tasks have the greatest risk factor.
According to statistics from the Republic Air Force and Navy Air Force in previous wars, the combat loss rate of air defense and suppression tasks is twice that of other ground strike tasks. If you encounter opponents with relatively strong air defense strength, such as the US military in the Peninsula War and the Japanese army in the Japanese war, the combat loss rate will be greatly increased. Even in small-scale wars, such as in the southern Tibet conflict, the number of fighter jets shot down during the air defense and suppression tasks accounted for more than half of the total combat loss of the Republic Air Force. Even the best pilots will not actively ask for air defense and suppression tasks.
This is indeed the case.
When attacking the Indian air defense position in the northwest of Visakhapat, Xu was attacked by a mobile air defense missile ambushed on his route. After making the best efforts, the pilot successfully shot down three air defense missiles with the interception system on the fighter and avoided two air defense missiles, he was caught up by the sixth air defense missile and lost the half-wing on the left side of the fighter. After trying to change the course and maintain the flight altitude, the severely damaged small-mouth fighter finally fell into the sea about a thousand meters east of Visakhapatnam. The pilot successfully parachutes.
The bombing operation was not terminated due to setbacks. The search and rescue troops, which were already on standby, immediately reached a vertical take-off and landing plane to the pilot's parachuting waters.
The knife points the old part, and the air defense compressor group that came out completed the task. In the end, only the only thing that Xiao Zhao even used the ground attack ammunition he carried to bomb the nearby Indian army airport, fully grasping the battlefield air supremacy.
At 20 o'clock, the small entrance sent by the South China Sea Fleet began to bomb Indian warships in the port.
What makes people feel a bit incredible is that except for the little thug who used long-range anti-ship missiles, the rest of the fighters all carried gliding guided bombs.
Although there is no intelligence confirmation that the Indian Navy's escort warships are equipped with forced electromagnetic interference devices. However, Yang Jinjie still left a hand when arranging the strike mission, and intends to pass this battle inspection that is simpler than the exercise to bomb the warships with guided bombs. Although the throwing distance of the bomb is far less than that of the anti-ship missile, the hit accuracy and power are not worse than the anti-ship missiles. Moreover, the cost is much lower than that of the anti-ship missiles. More importantly, after the guided bomb is added with a special shielding system, the impact of the forced electric collision interference device is much lower than that of the anti-ship missile. If the hit accuracy is appropriately sacrificed and the inertial guidance method is adopted at the end of the ballistic, the influence of the forced electromagnetic interference device can be completely eliminated.
The bombing comes and goes quickly.
The large warships of the Blade docked in the Visakhapatnam military port, and many small ships of the Blade were fatally bombed.
According to the bombing results submitted by the strike force, the hit rate of anti-ship missiles is silenced, and the hit rate of guided bombs is more than silenced. Although this data cannot be true, Indian warships have lost their ability to cope and have no maneuvering evasion. However, this bombing can still prove that under certain conditions, guided bombs are ideal sea strike weapons. If some technologies on guided bombs can be used on anti-ship missiles, the combat efficiency of anti-ship missiles can be improved.
When the Visakhapatnam military port turned into a sea of fire, the formation of the East China Sea Fleet, Xu, arrived at the battlefield.
The bombing operation against military port infrastructure is the easiest and there is no challenge. All small mouths throw gliding guided bombs at a distance of 1,000 meters from the target, and
, The Indian army deployed several sets of last-stage defense systems specifically for accumulated bombs and bombs in Visakhapat, but in the face of high-density bombing, the last-stage defense system could not protect the entire military port at all.
With a clever relationship between each other, Yang Jinjie issued an order to end the bombing.
The person responsible for seizing air supremacy said that when Xiaozhao fighter passed over Visakhapatnam, he took the initiative to enter the ultra-low altitude and used a blade millimeter artillery to strafuse the Indian soldiers who were extinguishing fires and repairing damaged facilities. This action caused the Indian army in the port to avoid them. Indian anti-aircraft guns that were not useful in front also roared at the sky.
As the air-controlling fighter leaves the battlefield, the last round of strikes begins.
According to Hua Jianfeng's arrangement, the East China Sea Fleet's cruiser and six destroyers formed the first strike formation, and the South China Sea Fleet's cruiser and six destroyers formed the second strike formation. Arrangements were set up on the sea about 1,000 meters away from the port of Visakhapatnam, and used electromagnetic guns to carry out a cover-type attack on the entire military port.
This is a very rare performance opportunity for the escort warships that have not been launched since the war started.
Because two journalists followed the escort warship operations, the reporter reported the scene of the warship formation performing electromagnetic gun volleys at night through live broadcast.
All viewers think that this is the most shocking scene.
Compared with traditional artillery, the muzzle flashes when the electromagnetic gun fires, but there is no sharper sound when the gunfires, and there is no low sound when the flame gas rushes out of the muzzle.
More importantly, this is night bombardment, which is more visually stimulating.
Only at the moment when the electromagnetic gun fired, the huge body of the warship was exposed to the flash of the muzzle: then it disappeared in the dark night. The neatly arranged warships were like steel fortresses on the sea, and when they were moving forward without being fast or slow, they shot deadly shells at the enemy hundreds of kilometers away.
This scene reminds people of the battleship gun battles in the two world wars.
The difference is that those modern warships equipped with electromagnetic guns do not strike targets on the sea surface, and they cannot see enemy warships within the range that they can reach. Of course, electromagnetic guns have higher firing rates and smaller numbers. The warships will not vibrate violently as the electromagnetic guns open.
The shelling continued until the flying point, and the warships wiped out all the shells in the bullet bay under the turret while thug.
As Hua Jianfeng issued a "finishing work" order, the old warship turned eastward and returned to the aircraft carrier battle group. Because only one-third of the ammunition of the warship was reserved in the ammunition compartment under the turret, the supply fleet would come to meet in the old days, so Hua Jianfeng was not worried about the ammunition issue.
By the end of the attack, Visakhapatnam had become a military port in the sea of fire.
Although Hua Jianfeng did not aim his muzzle at the residential area, after the battle lasted for more than two hours, Visakhapatnam had completely lost its value as a military port.
This two-hour strike once again proves the value of the fleet in war.
To use the comments of Western news media, as long as ammunition is guaranteed, according to the combat efficiency of destroying Visakhapatnam, the Republic's fleet can destroy all large and medium-sized cities and ports in the coastal areas of India within three months. If the Republic's fleet approaches the coastline to strike inland targets, all areas at the southern end of the Indian Peninsula are within the range of the fleet's artillery fire, and no Indian city or industrial base will be spared. According to this, some Western media believe that the Republic's navy does not need to implement a strategic blockade on India at all. As long as the Indian ports and large and medium-sized cities in the coastal areas are destroyed step by step, India cannot obtain overseas support. Some Western media even believe that the Republic does not need to use ground forces on a large scale, and that the fleet can make India surrender if it allows half a year to move in the Indian Ocean.
Regardless of the comments on the battle, the most concerned issue for the Western media is what exactly the Republic wants to do.
If before that, the Republic had added troops to the Western Front battlefield and built a field airport at the Bernighal Pass. It made Western media think that the Republic would concentrate its efforts to attack New Delhi, then after this battle, almost all Western media believed that the Republic was the drunkard's intention, and the attack on New Delhi would not begin immediately, and the focus would still be on the Eastern Front battlefield. Even Al Jazeera, which has always been objective and fair, believes that as the fleet entered the Bay of Bengal and destroyed the remaining forces of the Indian Navy, the Republic's Army was about to launch a large-scale attack on the Eastern Front battlefield.
The news media can see the clues, and the Indian Prime Minister, Chief of General Staff and Chief of Army Staff can also see the problem.
However, it was too late to adjust the combat plan at this time.
According to the deployment of the Indian Army Command, the offensive operation on the Eastern Front battlefield will start at 2 a.m. on the 7th. When Visakhapatnam was hit, the combat mission had reached the battalion-level combat unit. Because the Indian army's communications had been interfered and suppressed by the Republic's electronic warfare units, even if the Indian Army Command immediately canceled the order, it would not be possible to make the grassroots combat troops give up the offensive operation before the 2 o'clock thug.
More importantly, the Indian army had no room for circling.
The Indian army accelerated its offensive preparations on the Eastern Front battlefield. The Republic Army also made corresponding adjustments. The problem now is that even if the Indian Army does not take the initiative to attack, the Republic Army will also launch an attack.
In other words, the Indian army was already in a difficult situation at this time.
The right to choose whether to fight or not is not in the hands of the Indian army.
