Chapter 51 Actively prepare for war
On July 14, at 8:30 ET, Huang Guowei walked into the United Nations Building.
When China proposed to impose military and economic sanctions on both sides of the India-Pakistan war, the whole world was shocked again.
Not to mention the critics hired by the TV station, even experts from American think tanks cannot figure out what China is going to do.
The sanctions initiated by the United Nations are by no means a joke. If the sanctions resolution is passed by the Security Council and the General Assembly, all member states of the United Nations must abide by it. China has proposed not only military sanctions, but also economic sanctions. According to the view of most people, as long as the resolution comes into effect, Pakistan, which has a weak national strength, will suffer a huge blow.
Some people have seen China's determination to promote a ceasefire in India and Pakistan and the positive role played by China.
Some people see the opposite side, believing that China wants to use the United Nations to attack India.
In any case, most news media acknowledge that China's proposal at the United Nations will have a positive effect on promoting a ceasefire in India and Pakistan.
However, the soldiers in the war did not feel this way.

Since receiving the combat readiness order from the General Staff, Lin Xiaolei has been closely monitoring the mobilization of the Indian army. For this combat operation, the General Staff mobilized three optical photo reconnaissance satellites, two radar photo reconnaissance satellites, and two military communication satellites. Two electronic reconnaissance satellites were also drawn from the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Foreign Intelligence Bureau to monitor military targets throughout India 24 hours a day. Through the satellite data link, Lin Xiaolei not only can grasp the latest situation in real time, but also maintain uninterrupted contact with other participating troops.
Five years ago, Lin Xiaolei couldn't believe that he could get the support of nine military satellites in the battle.
Lin Xiaolei firmly believes that the military satellite network costing hundreds of billions of dollars is not to build a land for a special mixed fleet with only destroyers and frigates, but is tailor-made for aircraft carrier combat groups. As a naval general, Lin Xiaolei is more aware of the importance of military systems. Several advanced weapons can enhance the combat effectiveness of the military. An advanced military system is the basis for invincible land.
As a Republican, Lin Xiaolei is proud of his powerful motherland.
As the commander of the Special Mixed Fleet, Lin Xiaolei is worried about the upcoming battle.
Before Huang Guowei arrived in New York, the Indian army made big moves.
Twelve army divisions deployed in the six eastern states were the first to enter combat readiness state and scattered into defensive positions. Preparations were made to fight the surprise attacks. Six army divisions deployed in the eastern part of Bihar began to move eastward. They entered Siliguri and Jerbaiguri and acted as battle reserves.
Within twelve hours, 200,000 Indian troops deployed in the eastern region completed the war preparations.
The Indian Army was moving very quickly, and the Indian Air Force responded even more quickly.
At 19 o'clock in New Delhi time, the first eight fighter squadrons left the air base near Chandigarh, Bethiana, Bethinda and Deladen; half an hour later, the second three fighter squadrons took off from the air base near Silsa and Gernaar. At less than 20 o'clock, two A-50i early warning aircraft left the Ariger Air Base one after another.
In just one hour, the Indian Air Force mobilized nearly 200 combat aircraft and two early warning aircraft.
The large-scale mobilization of the Indian Air Force immediately aroused Pakistan's vigilance, causing all the combat aircraft of the Pakistani Air Force to take off to avoid sudden blows.
At 21:00 New Delhi time, the alarm was lifted.
The first batch of eight squadrons of fighter jets landed at four air bases in eastern India, while the second batch of three squadrons of fighter jets landed at two military bases near Mumbai, and the two early warning aircraft also flew to the eastern and Mumbai respectively.
Lin Xiaolei only needs to pay attention to the three fighter squadrons flying to Mumbai.
Through infrared photos taken by optical reconnaissance satellites, it can be preliminarily determined that two squadrons are equipped with single-engine fighters and the other squadron is equipped with twin-engine fighters. Combined with the remote sensing photos taken by radar reconnaissance satellites, it can be further determined that single-engine fighters are MiG-27 or MiG-23 and twin-engine fighters are Su-30mki.
This situation immediately attracted Lin Xiaolei's attention.
Although the MiG-27's sea attack ability is not strong, and the MiG-23 basically has no sea attack ability, the Su-30mki, which can carry heavy anti-ship missiles and can carry up to seven anti-ship missiles, posing a huge threat to the Special Mixed Fleet. Twelve Su-30mkis of a squadron can project nearly 100 anti-ship missiles at a time, which is enough to engulf the entire Special Mixed Fleet.
After the Military Intelligence Bureau sent the exact information, Lin Xiaolei immediately asked about the details.
Among the seven squadrons deployed in Mumbai, only one of them is equipped with Su-30mki and only twelve. The other two squadrons are equipped with MiG-27, a total of thirty-two. There are four squadrons equipped with Indian domestic "Glory" fighter jets, a total of 48.
Now, Lin Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Glory" is a single-engine light fighter. Although it can carry anti-ship missiles, its missile load capacity is limited and it cannot use heavy anti-ship missiles. The combat radius of the sea missions is very limited.
The Indian Air Force has sent three "attack squadrons" to the Mumbai area, which is definitely to make up for the shortcomings of "glory".
Thinking of the embarrassing situation of the Indian Air Force, Lin Xiaolei disagreed.
After twelve days of the war, the Indian Air Force lost 70% of its troops. One hundred and ninety Su-30mki lost 107, and more than 170 "Phantom 2000" have less than 80 left. In addition, there are about 240 "Miscellaneous G-29, "Miscellaneous G-27, "Miscellaneous G-23" and other fighters. India's self-made "Glorious" fighter jets are mainly deployed in the east and south, and the losses are not very large, and there are about 110. Apart from the low combat power, the "Glorious" fighter jets that do not even trust in the Indian Air Force, there are only less than 200 air-controlling fighters left.
It can be described as "stretching" to describe the Indian Air Force at this time.
In order to ensure the safety of major cities and strategic locations such as New Delhi, at least 100 air-battery fighters must be deployed on the northwest battlefield. In order to put pressure on China, at least 80 air-battery fighters must be invested in the eastern region.
Being able to send twelve su-30mkis to Mumbai area is simply "conspicuous".
At 21:30 New Delhi time, an optical reconnaissance satellite passed over the southern part of the Indian Peninsula.
As the reconnaissance satellite sent the digital infrared photos to the ground control center and then forwarded them to the battlefield information processing center of the General Staff, the battle alarm was immediately sounded.
Five minutes later, the Special Mixed Fleet received the battlefield message from the General Staff.
Lin Xiaolei just took the time to have supper.
"Chief, I just received the news that the Indian fleet left the Port of Cochin."
It really doesn't stop people! Lin Xiaolei frowned slightly and glanced at the huge tactical screen. The staff officer immediately understood and displayed the tactical information on the screen.
When Lin Xiaolei walked to the screen, a staff officer brought him coffee.
The Indian fleet had just left the port, and it was still impossible to determine whether to go south to return to the Bay of Bengal or north to enter the Arabian Sea.
Lin Xiaolei had no luck at all. A total of nine warships left the port, and the western Indian fleet almost came out in full swing.
Lin Xiaolei was not worried at all.
Before nightfall, a J-10 squadron patrolled near the fleet. At around half past ten, a "KA 2000" belonging to HNA will come to support. The three J-10 squadrons deployed near Karachi can take off within five minutes and arrive over the fleet within one hour.
The formation has been set up. Will the Western Indian fleet come to fight to the decisive battle?
Lin Xiaolei took a sip of coffee. Because he was too focused, he didn't even feel the blisters on his lips.
The situation is very unfavorable to India. If the special mixed fleet cannot be annihilated as soon as possible, not only will seven fighter squadrons be confined to Mumbai, but also the Indian Navy and Air Force will lose the initiative as the arrival of four other fighter squadrons of HNA arrive.
The western Indian fleet will definitely go north to challenge the special mixed fleet.
Lin Xiaolei was planning the tactics his opponent might adopt.
The "Glorious" fighter jets seize air supremacy, and the Su-30mki aircraft group used long-range anti-ship missiles to attack the special-mix fleet, and the MiG-27 finally arrived. The Western Indian fleet would launch an attack with the "Bramos" anti-ship missile of the "Bangaluru" class destroyer from 200 kilometers away. It would also dispatch submarines to deal with missile attacks and sneak attack the special-mix fleet's air defense destroyers.
Very standard and also very old-fashioned tactics.
Lin Xiaolei smiled faintly. He had practiced such tactics more than a hundred times in training and exercises.
Just as he thought of this, the staff came over. "Chief, the analysis results are out."
Lin Xiaolei immediately turned around, because the movement was too big, the coffee in the cup spilled out.
"Three 'Bangaluru', three 'Delhi' and three 'Talvas'. In addition, there may be two to three 'Squid' class submarines."
"The submarine leaves the port with the fleet?"
"No. The electronic reconnaissance satellite found abnormal electromagnetic activity about 150 nautical miles south. It was initially judged to be a conventional submarine in India."
Lin Xiaolei nodded slightly and said, "Call the main staff officers and the captains of each ship, and hold a combat meeting in fifteen minutes."
"yes!"
After the staff officer left, Lin Xiaolei's eyes returned to the screen again.
One hundred and fifty nautical miles, conventional submarines will take at least twenty-four hours to arrive. The Indian fleet has just left the Port of Cochin and will take about twenty-four hours to reach the northern waters of the Amindivi Islands.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaolei looked at his watch again. Five o'clock was past ten o'clock.
At this time tomorrow night, we will fight to the death with the Indian fleet.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xiaolei walked into the tactical conference room. Through the tactical communication channel, other captains were able to participate in combat meetings on their respective battleships.
"Everyone, the Western Indian fleet has just left the Port of Cochin. I expect the battle to start in twenty-four hours."
No one was surprised, everyone was waiting for the moment to fight the Western Indian fleet.
"The details have been sent to you, so I won't explain it." Lin Xiaolei sat down in the position of the chief officer, "Now, we need to determine how to fight this hard-won battle."
The discussion soon fell on two important issues.
One is air defense, the other is anti-submarine, especially the latter. The special mixed fleet has received cover from the aviation force, but has not been covered by shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft. The twelve anti-submarine helicopters in the fleet can only ensure anti-submarine patrol in key directions and cannot take care of every direction.
After the meeting, Lin Xiaolei asked the staff to send a report to the General Staff.
What makes the Rear Admiral the most headache is not that the whereabouts of the Indian submarines, but that the whereabouts of the four attacking nuclear submarines accompanied by the special mixed fleet operation!
