Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke Chapter 117 Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger
At 19:00 on the 6th, the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier, the Aviation Operations Center.,
"The targets are divided into three categories, from high to low, represented by three colors: red, yellow and green." Yang Jinjie knocked on the large screen showing the tactical map. "The red targets are the air defense command center, communication center, long-range warning radar, air defense positions and island-wide power distribution center. The bombing mission is undertaken by the Second Brigade. The fighter aircraft carries built-in ammunition, and the 11th Squadron and the 1st Squadron conducts the first round of bombing. If the target is confirmed to be not destroyed, the 1st Squadron will carry out the additional bombing."
Yang Jinjie paused for a moment, and the consultant adjusted the icon on the screen.
"The yellow targets are concentrated in Jeju Airport, mainly the airport aviation control center, the peripheral defense positions, the three highways leading to the airport, and the nearby military camps." Yang Jinjie looked in the direction where the pilots of the third brigade were sitting. "The bombing mission is the third brigade, which will destroy the enemy's air defense system and command system and enter. The fighter takes off with the maximum load capacity, mainly using ammunition outside the defense zone to avoid the attack range of the ground air defense system. The first round of attacks is led by the 1c2311 Squadron and 1c232 Squadron, and the 0233 Squadron conducts additional bombing."
The staff officer adjusts the icon on the screen again.
"The blue target is the military facilities such as the Korean military coastal defense position near Hanlin." Yang Jinjie took a sip of water and continued, "This is a basic tactical target, and the strike mission is the first brigade. In addition, the first brigade also has to undertake escort tasks, so the fighter only carries one bomb, at least four interceptor missiles and two fighting missiles. After the bombing begins, each squadron must report the situation in real time. If you encounter trouble, you can call for support at any time. When returning, if you need to refuel in the air, report the situation at least fifteen minutes in advance. Finally, it is also the most critical point. If you are unfortunately shot down by the enemy's air defense missile or enemy fighter jets, and then parachuted and escaped and landed in the enemy's combat zone, please bring the call radio and self-defense weapons, and the special forces will come to rescue at the fastest speed!"
"There is another thing." Zhu Ronghui walked to Yang Jinjie and said, "If you are unfortunately captured by the enemy, don't make unnecessary resistance, show your identity, declare your position, demand reasonable treatment, and wait for the end of the war. Do you understand?"
The pilots laughed, and the captain of the corps did not joke with them.
"Finally, if you have any questions, please raise them."
"Will you encounter an air threat?" A squadron leader of the first brigade asked first, because the first brigade was an air defense brigade equipped with j-15bb fighter jets.
"The actual situation is very bad. I'm afraid it will disappoint the pilots in the land who want to obtain air combat results." Zhu Ronghui smiled and said. "The US Air Force has withdrawn from the war. Japan has not participated in the war. The South Korean Air Force has been defeated by our local air force and the Navigation and Coast-based Air Force. In the first round of battle, the chances of encountering air threats will not exceed 10%. Of course, we cannot underestimate the "ambition" of the bait. Maybe there will be several bait pilots who are not afraid of death to take the F/A-50 fighter jets to fight. Our principle is, we don't think about it and don't let go of the land. Do you understand?"
The pilots in the group laughed.
The f/a-50 developed on the basis of the T-50 Golden Eagle trainer. It is said to be a fighter. Its performance is very poor. It is not even as good as that it has been eliminated by the Republic Air Force and Navy Air Force, and it is resold to friendly countries in large quantities or given to friendly countries for free. Because the South Korean Air Force lost a large number of pilots in the Dokdo War, it has been vigorously cultivating pilots in recent years. Therefore, many f/a-50s have been retained as medium and advanced trainers.
“Who is responsible for air refueling?”
"Air Force and HNA." Yang Jinjie answered the question raised by a squadron leader of the third brigade. "The meeting point with the refueling plane is in the airspace of C507. Because the combat radius will not exceed 500 meters, there are not many opportunities to carry out air refueling planes. If necessary, we will make arrangements."
"If there is no need for additional bombing, do I need to bring the bomb back?"
"There is no need for this at all." Zhu Ronghui glanced at his partner and said, "I want to add that this is a practical task, not an exercise. You have combat tasks in your hands. For the two squadrons responsible for supplementary attack tasks, if there is no need to perform supplementary attacks, the bomb should be dropped at the secondary target, rather than returning to the aircraft carrier with the bomb."
"Is there any other problem?" Yang Jinjie glanced at everyone.
The pilots shook their heads and said there was no problem.
"This combat mission is very compact. After we complete the bombing mission, the fleet will use cruise missiles to attack important targets on the island; after dawn, the warships in the fleet will also shell the targets on the island. If not unexpected, there will be more important tasks waiting for us tomorrow, so I hope everyone can complete the mission smoothly, return to the aircraft carrier as soon as possible, sleep for a few hours, and prepare for tomorrow's battle.
"Zhu Ronghui glanced at his watch and said, "Since everyone has no problem, the combat meeting will end here. Fifteen minutes later, the first brigade took off first and went to the scheduled airspace to perform air patrol missions. If you need to prepare for takeoff, hurry up!"
The pilot dispersed with a bang, and Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie both shook their heads with a smile
After following Hua Jianfeng to the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group, Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie ended their pilot careers and fully managed the 1st Air Wing.
Like the other three carrier-based aviation corps, the 1c2 team is all "rookies" except for the backbone.
The problem of the ship-based aviation forces has exposed the internal contradictions of HNA.
Although most shore-based aviation pilots want to become carrier-based aircraft pilots, shore-based aviation does not want to lose elite pilots, so they are very willing to let them go. For example, Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing, the "super ace combination", were "forcibly" left in the shore-based aviation, and they have never had the opportunity to board the ship. In 2023, HNA proposed a "reform plan" and decided to implement the "rotation system" so that all pilots can master the skills of taking off and landing on aircraft carriers. The opposite shore-based tactical aviation and the carrier-based tactical aviation are uniformly organized to eliminate internal conflicts. Because the workload is too high and the training is too difficult, the reform will last for several years and cannot be achieved overnight.
At 20:00 c5, the Fleet Command received a combat order codenamed "Knocking the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger".
Immediately, the first troop of 24j-15bb fighter jets flew out one after another.
The 24j-15bbbs carry SD-16 interceptor missiles, 2 pl-17-bucket missiles, and 1 kilogram-level "outside zone gliding guided bomb" in the fuselage bomb bay, and mount a large secondary fuel tank under the wings. According to the combat arrangement, the first brigade will first perform air defense patrol missions, arrive over the Jeju Strait before the Second brigade bombing to block the route of South Korean fighters to the western part of Jeju Island. The bombing mission will be required to provide cover for other fighters when returning, and finally land on the flight deck. In this way, the 24 fighters of the first brigade will have the longest time to stagnate air, and can only carry the secondary fuel tank without refueling as much as possible.
When the second brigade ground fighter was preparing for takeoff, the 2hj-2000b carrier-based early warning aircraft left the flight deck and went to replace the 2 early warning aircraft that had been patrolling for 5 hours.
The hj-2c00b model is exactly the same as the basic model, but the internal configuration is different. After replacing the 8-level composite battery with a 12-level composite battery, the endurance of the B model is increased by nearly 30%; it is equipped with two more powerful motors, which increases the maximum ceiling by 18% and the maximum flight speed by 21%; it is adjusted to adjust the internal layout and uses more advanced information equipment to increase the number of air guides to people, plus a faster central processor and a higher degree of automation command equipment, which can guide 24 fighters to perform air combat at the same time, which is 1 times stronger than the basic model; it uses low side lobe active phased array radar to enhance the detection capability in complex environments, increase the detection distance of low-altitude targets by 30%, and increase the discovery rate by 1 times; it adds tactical data links, and has the combat capability to provide target guidance for long-range anti-ship missiles and coordinate with the fleet air defense system.
These improvements have significantly improved the combat effectiveness of the hj-2000b model.
If the Republic had not had very strict restrictions on arms exports, the hj-2000b would have become the most sought-after small early warning aircraft in the international arms market.
At this time, the other two aircraft carriers in the fleet also turned to sail against the wind and began to eject fighter jets.
At 20 o'clock, the second brigade's j-15ba fighter jet began to take off.
The second brigade's takeoff time was about a minute later than the first brigade, so there was nothing we could do about it.
When the aviation launches fighter jets, all fighter jets must be concentrated on the flight deck and placed behind the catapult in order to maximize the take-off efficiency. Because the aircraft carrier's flight deck is not open, the second batch of take-off fighter jets can only complete the preparation work in the hangar. Not to mention anything else, placing the 24 fighter jets in order is a very troublesome thing and takes a lot of time.
Unlike the j-15bb of the first brigade, the j-15ba of the second brigade only carries weapons in the bullet bay.
As the main attack force of the 1st Team, the 2nd Team has the strongest ground strike ability and undertakes the most important and dangerous bombing mission. Only after the 2nd Team destroys the air defense system on Jeju Island can the subsequent bombing operations be carried out smoothly.
At 211:15, the fighter jets of the third brigade took off one after another.
From then on, Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie were a little nervous.
Although all intelligence proves that Jeju Island's air defense system is very weak and the South Korean Air Force has been completely defeated, the two HNA ace pilots are still worried that those "rookies" who have never been on the battlefield will mess up the mission. The 02nd team undertakes the first round of bombing missions, which is not only a trust in Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie, but also a test for the two.
At 211 o'clock, a group of battle reports translated as "The Tiger Goes to the Mountain" were sent back to the Fleet Command.
The first round of bombing was successful, and the most elite strike force of the Republic's Navy Aviation Army successfully completed its combat mission.
Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The bombing operation continued and the fleet became lively. (To be continued,)
