Chapter 1585: Sand table (four)

There is no doubt that these two more advanced fighter squadrons are equipped with metric "F16A/B" fighters and Gaul "Phantom 2000-5" fighters.
These two arms sales agreements were the products of the early 1990s. At that time, Wan Dao ordered 150 "F16A/B" from the United States and 60 "Phantom 2000-5" from Gaul. The arms purchase case undoubtedly aroused the great anger of China, and a series of countermeasures were taken to this end. The relationship between the United States, Gaul and China once fell to a freezing point due to the two arms purchase cases.
It can also be seen from these two arms purchase cases that whether it is the United States or Gaul, these Western capitalist countries that hold high the banners of "freedom and democracy", "universal values", and "legal system and contractual spirit" are not in their bones. Believe in the set of theories that they preach, profit is their essence, and the "double standard" of treating oneself with lenient and strict discipline is their consistent practice, safeguarding their vested interests, and weaving a way for developing countries. Unbreakable ceiling, ensuring that they can always lie at the top of this Blue Star food chain is their ultimate goal!
For this reason, they do not hesitate to violate the contract they have signed in black and white, trample on the promises they have made, and despise all laws and orders. At the same time, they will still put on themselves a mask of hypocrisy, Disguised as a defender of the highest moral standards of Blue Star!
By the way, due to the two arms purchase contracts, General Electric Company of the United States and Gallo Dasso Airlines have been publicly declared by China Commercial Aircraft Corporation to exclude the sub-systems and important parts suppliers of various types of China Airlines passenger aircraft, so that CFM series engines They were also excluded from the list of suitable engines by C919 and C929, which caused heavy losses, and let Rolls-Royce pick up a huge bargain. He even flew to China with Dr. Hu Ke to express his gratitude to Tan Zhenhua. And privately assured him that he himself would mobilize all relations to exert influence on the British government, lest Britain would also do something like this stupid thing like throwing watermelons and picking sesame seeds.
In terms of the results, Britain, which has always been the most staunch ally of the United States and the European continent, has not been confused on this point.
However, the Wandao money was spent and the contract was signed, but at this time, neither the "F-16" or the "Phantom 2000-5" fighters have arrived. Among them, the first 455th Wing that is scheduled to be replaced with F-16A/B Fighting Falcons has confirmed that it will transfer the originally equipped F-5E/F to the 401st Wing in Taoyuan in June 1995 to replace the F-5E/F. The old-fashioned F105G fighters originally equipped by the wing, and the backbone pilots of the wing will also go to the United States to receive training in flying the "F-16" fighters; and the Hsinchu 499th Wing, which is scheduled to be replaced with the "Phantom 2000-5" fighters first The 11th Flying Group is progressing more slowly. At this point in time, not only has it not received a single plane, but even the list of the first seed flight instructors who went to Gaul to receive fighter pilot training has not been confirmed.
(The above events and time are based on historical facts, the author's note.)
Another digression, among the many articles about the "95/96 Straits Crisis" circulating on the Internet, quite a few articles brazenly claimed that a certain island had 150 F16s and 60 "Phantom 2000-5" at that time, and the mainland side At that time there was only one and a half regiments of the "Su-27", and the rest were the "J-7" and "J-8" that were a generation behind. Therefore, the Wandao Air Force had an overwhelming advantage over the Mainland Air Force at that time...
The authors of these essays were obviously using paste scissors to deceive the readers. They did not ask for a thorough explanation, and they also "invented" history. In fact, in terms of the strength of the Wandao Air Force at that time, it was almost half a catty compared to the mainland. , If you count the unconfirmed 40 "Sky Sword 2" in the "Snatch Run" service, it can barely be counted as a slight lead. After all, the "Su 27" purchased by China at that time only had the "R27" close combat ammunition. It is available, but it is only paper data, and everyone knows that in the real battlefield, equipment is only one aspect. It is people who can really determine the battlefield. This is even the firm "equipment party" Tan Zhenhua. "No one has ever denied it.
However, as the highest commander of the "Blue Army" in this exercise, Tan Zhenhua still believes that the importance of equipment for a cross-sea landing operation is unquestionable. This "sand table exercise" cannot be 100% based on China's existing Arrangements with data confirmed by intelligence must also have a certain amount of advancement-for example, since all parties cannot confirm the specific time point of the final outbreak of the war, it is necessary to enlarge the margin of the "blue army" One point, both Americans and Gauls may do something extraordinary at this sensitive moment. Therefore, the "Blue Army" added a squadron of F-16 and a squadron of "Phantom 2000" in a very short time. -5", it may not be impossible, and it cannot even be ruled out that foreign pilots will fly these fighters into the air under the guise of their own names.
In addition to the "hard cargo" of fighters and air-to-air missiles, Tan Zhenhua is also very concerned about the four E-2T early warning aircraft equipped with the 28th combat squadron, the 427th Air Combat Wing, Qingquangang, Wandao. These four early warning aircraft are It was developed from the original design of E-2B and was delivered to Wandao in 1994. It already has basic combat capabilities. Because the AN/APS-145 radar and AN/ALR-73 passive detection system equipped on the aircraft are quite advanced, In one fell swoop, the detection range of Wandao's medium- and high-altitude targets on the mainland has been advanced by 114 to 200 kilometers; the detection range of low-altitude targets below 100 meters has been advanced by 225-309 kilometers. If calculated based on the target flight speed of Mach 1, the warning time of the former is equivalent to an increase of 5.6 to 9.8 minutes, and the latter is equivalent to an increase of 11 to 15 minutes.
Moreover, because the AN/APS-145 radar equipped on the E-2T early warning aircraft has a maximum detection range of 700 kilometers, this makes it completely possible to perform missions outside the attack range of air defense weapons on the mainland, which greatly strengthens the early warning aircraft. Battlefield survivability.
I am afraid that the only shortcoming is that the system of this early warning aircraft is incompatible with the radar network originally established by Wandao and the so-called "strong army" C3I command system. It cannot automatically exchange information. At present, it can only transmit information through voice.
After sorting out the air force, the next thing to sort out is naturally the air defense force in the Bay Island area.
At present, the air defense forces in the Bay Island area are mainly composed of antiaircraft artillery units and air defense missile units. Among them, the air defense missile force has formed 6 battalions, 661, 662, 663, 664, 666, and 668, each equipped with the metric "Victory II "Type" long-range surface-to-air missile, "Hawker II" medium- and short-range surface-to-air missile, and Wandao "self-developed" "Tiangong-1" medium-low-air short-range air defense missile.
Among them, "Victory II" is guided by radar and radio signals, and has a range of 140 kilometers, which is a bit older. The system was developed in the 1950s. Tan Zhenhua felt that this product should be renamed "Grandma Victory", which might be more appropriate. This system There are also 3 sets in service; "Hawker II" is improved and developed on the "Hawker" system developed in the 1960s. It can be regarded as a "milfie". It uses a semi-active seeker and has a range of It is 40 kilometers and initially equipped with anti-missile capabilities. It is currently the main air defense force in the Wandao area. A total of 18 sets have been deployed; the "Tian Gong Yi" is a "popular little flower" with a range of 60 kilometers. It uses semi-active radar and infrared. Hybrid guidance, strong anti-jamming capability, and capable of all-weather operations. It is quite advanced from the design concept paper data. At present, the number of equipment is small, only two sets have been deployed, and one set is under intense construction. It is expected to be in March next year. Left and right can be put into combat readiness duty.
In addition to these surface-to-air missiles, there are also dual 35mm Oerlikon/Sky Sentinel antiaircraft artillery in the 301, 302, 303, and 304 battalions in the Bay Island area; two 501 and 502 "Jie Ling"/T -82 antiaircraft artillery battalion; 206, 207, 208, 213, 216 five "Bofors" 40mm antiaircraft artillery/M55 antiaircraft machine gun mixed battalion.
Let's put it this way, if only in terms of the number of air defense weapons, the Bay Island area is probably the densest area on the blue star. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "porcupine".
In Tan Zhenhua's deployment, this "porcupine" attribute was brought into full play by him.
