Chapter 1587: Sand Table (6)

Compared to another time and space, China at this time obviously has more powerful air power.
In that time and space, at the same point in time, although China was equipped with more than 3,000 fighters of various types, it was mainly based on the "J-7" and "J-8", and there were also some old "J-6" that have not been retired. Some old-fashioned "H6" and "Qiang 5" undertake ground-to-sea attack missions. The only ones that can truly be called third-generation fighters are the "Su-27" of the two regiments that have been purchased from Raksha but have not yet completed all delivery. "There are 1 and a half regiments that have actually arrived and are ready for combat.
With this kind of air power, even in the best case, it only needs to face the local air force on the Bay Island, but it may not be able to obtain absolute air supremacy over the strait. Except for the Su-27, other air superior fighters generally have voyages. The short problem has caused the effective time for these fighters to stay in the air above the theater to be too short to provide sufficient time for the landing forces to intercept the battlefield.
Moreover, the radar performance of these second-generation fighters is generally very poor, and most of them are even equipped with rudimentary radar rangefinders. To be honest, in terms of equipment performance alone, they may not be able to fight the IDF on the other side, even It’s very difficult to put the F-5E against the F-5E. Although the F-5E is a second-generation aircraft, and its nose space is very small, it is also packed with an AN/APQ-153 fire control with reasonable performance. Radar, the detection range of this radar reaches 33 kilometers, can provide shooting range and calculate the front angle for the two 20 mm caliber M-39 revolver guns on board, and can also be used for the two wingtips mounted on the aircraft. An AIM-9 Sidewinder infrared air-to-air combat missile provides target position data.
But in this time and space, the situation is quite different.
Although the "J6", "J7", and "J8" are still in service in large numbers, since 1988, the navy and air forces have been actively purchasing "Flying Leopard" fighters, and with the production capacity of the Xifei plant Gradually climbing, so far, the naval aviation has been equipped with 3 regiments of 72 Flying Leopards, and the air force has also obtained 1 regiment with 24 aircraft, with a total of 96 in service.
In addition, due to the quick payment and the large order volume, the contract for the purchase of 76 Su-27 fighters in 4 regiments from Rakshasa has been executed relatively smoothly. 48 fighters in 2 regiments have been successfully delivered to the China Air Force and formed initial combat effectiveness.
There is also "Fierce Dragon".
This type of light fighter fighter was originally customized for the Pakistan Railway Air Force. Because it was born more than ten years earlier than the previous time and space, its destiny was also very different-it was successfully "exported to domestic sales"!
The price of a "Fierce Dragon" fighter is three times that of the "J-7", but its range, on-board electronic equipment, and beyond-horizon combat capabilities are far beyond. In the many air exercises organized by the Air Force, it can A big victory over the "J-7" or "J-8" led to the immediate effect of the Air Force's "big trotters" attribute. The plan to replace the "J-6" fleet with the "J-7" was revised and replaced with the "Fierce Dragon". Instead, the "Xiaolong" official equipment model "J-9" was given. So far, 24 fighters in one regiment have been replaced and have initial combat capabilities.
By the way, whether it is "J7" or "J9", it is all produced by Rongcheng 3611, so this change in the model replacement plan will not only cause no loss but also greater benefits for Song Wenhua, he is absolutely Happy to see it happen.
After calculation and summary, it can be seen that in this time and space, the number of third-generation aircraft of the "Red Army" has reached a staggering 168, of which 120 have beyond-horizon combat capabilities, even if these fighters still need to serve as the defense of Gyeonggi and other places. It is impossible to extract all the tasks, but once a battle begins, it is still possible to organize an air force of more than 4 regiments over the battlefield. Using this force to deal with the "Blue Army" can easily obtain the air over the battlefield and even the entire strait. Air superiority.
In addition to the Second Artillery Corps, this is the area where the "Red Army" has the most overwhelming advantage, and of course, it is the most difficult problem facing Tan Zhenhua as the commander of the "Blue Army" at this moment.
Apart from concentrating all air defense forces in strategic locations such as military airports and radar stations to minimize the possibility of attacks in these areas, how does Tan Zhenhua plan to solve this problem? This is the answer that many people want to know.
Of course, the "Red Army" staff has also discussed this, and the consensus reached is that the only way for the "Blue Army" is to find "foreign aid."
The most likely foreign aid can be attributed to one big power, two countries, and three directions.
You don’t need to ask who is the backing force behind Wandao. In addition to this force, of course there is also a country that is tightly bound by it and has to act as a pawn. Therefore, it is necessary to help the "blue army" fight for the strait. The air superiority in the sky requires a firm focus on the US Army’s Kadena Air Base, a US Army carrier battle group that intervened from the direction of Yokosuka Port, and another US Army aircraft carrier battle group that may be reinforced from the direction of the Malacca Strait.
With the strength of the U.S. Navy, each aircraft carrier battle group is deployed with a fixed-wing aircraft aviation wing. Depending on the mission, there may be 20-40 fighters. This increases the number of aircraft carrier formations by 40-80. Fighters, and all of them are third-generation fighters with medium-range missile interception capabilities, accompanied by carrier-based early warning aircraft. Once this force intervenes, whether the "Red Army" can still retain air superiority is really a big question mark. .
And there is one more point. Once the Mi Army aircraft carrier is dispatched, it will inevitably be accompanied by a complete battle group. This battle group has super-strong regional air defense capabilities and perfect shore and ship attack capabilities. These capabilities will completely subvert the strength of the two sides!
So the question is, does this third-party force really dare to risk another war with the "Red Army" and intervene with such powerful means?
Or, in what way can it guard the final bottom line, intervene and swear its strength without finally detonating a hot war, in an effort to extinguish the swordsmen on both sides of the strait and maintain the most favorable political situation for the force?
Finally, and the worst result, if it really intervenes by force, how will it deal with it?
"What strategy does Tan Zhenhua intend to use?" General Liu asked his confidential secretary, who was sorting out a combat plan submitted by the "Blue Army".
Looking at the information in hand, the confidential secretary frowned and replied: "The Blue Army has proposed a very bold combat plan, but the "Red Army" believes that although this tactic has been successful in the "Confrontation 1995" exercise, can it be On such a wide front, launching attacks of the same intensity against so many targets and achieving the same results are doubtful."
"What is the plan of the Blues?"
"Tan Zhenhua is preparing to launch electronic jamming attacks on all radar systems deployed by the "Red Army" throughout the southeast coastal area, completely paralyzing these systems."
"Can he do it?" General Liu's brow wrinkled uncontrollably: "Does the Mi Army already possess such combat capabilities?"
The confidential secretary replied cautiously: "I can't be sure, and we currently have no way to make an accurate judgment on this."
General Liu nodded lightly, and at the same time the knuckles began to gently buckle on the table. The confidential secretary knew that this was an expression of the chief's deep thought.
However, at this moment, a red phone on the table rang without warning. Admiral Liu woke up from his thoughts, and the confidential secretary was even more surprised!
Because this phone will not ring easily, but once it rings, it must mean that an extremely urgent event has happened!
