After discussing Xiang Yinghui's order, Pei Chengyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What Pei Chengyi was worried about was not that the preparations were not in place, but that the head of state did not issue an order to launch a ground war in a timely manner.

According to the war plan, after the Indian army sent reinforcements to Sikkim, the Republic will send ground troops to occupy the transportation hub center in the western region of Siliguri Asahi in the name of preventing India from invading Sikkim again. It is the only ground channel between the eastern region of India and the mainland, completely dividing the eastern region of India. Before receiving Xiang Yinghui's order, Pei Chengyi did not adjust the combat plan. Instead, he made the participating troops ready to set off. In other words, if the head of state failed to reject the combat plan before the old point, the offensive operation would begin without the authorization of the head of state.

Even if Pei Chengyi can find ten thousand reasons for explanation, he does not want to violate the will of the head of state on this issue. The reason is very simple. Launching a ground war is completely different from an air strike.

.

According to the international "unwritten rules" of "using big to bully the small" air strikes do not constitute aggression.

As early as the Kosovo War in the last year of the Blade Century, the NATO group led by the United States carried out dozens of days of bombing the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, almost destroying all important facilities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In the century, the United States bombed Iraq under Saddam's rule several times, and bombed other countries many times in the name of counter-terrorism, but was not condemned by the international community. The key is that in these military operations, neither NATO nor the United States sent troops to occupy the territory of other countries.

Several wars that the Republic participated in were similar. In the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the Republic's Air Force destroyed most of the military facilities and important strategic goals in the northwest region of India. Because no ground troops were sent into India, it did not constitute substantial invasion of India. In the southern Tibet conflict, although the Republic's ground troops once entered India to fight deeply, before the ceasefire, all ground troops retreated to the Line of Actual Control, that is, after the traditional Sino-Indian border line determined by the Republic, they did not remain in India, and they did not constitute substantial invasion.

This battle was different. The Republic sent troops to occupy Siliguri, which was a substantial invasion.

Although the reason for the invasion is sufficient, after taking this step, the scale of the war will expand rapidly, and a full-scale war between the Republic and India will be inevitable.

As the front-line commander-in-chief, Pei Chengyi has no right to make such a major strategic decision.

Fortunately, the head of state made a timely decision and asked the Chief of Staff to issue an operational order.

After being authorized, the rest is how to complete combat missions.

In fact, before Pei Chengyi received the order, the combat operation to attack Xiliguli had begun.

After completing the first round of bombing missions, the Air Force quickly adjusted its combat deployment and extended the southern boundary of the "Air Forbidden Zone" to the old north latitude. In other words, fighters carrying out air combat missions will independently attack any Indian fighter jets crossing this line. Because the Indian Air Force has basically lost its combat capability, fighters who escaped to southern India by chance are not allowed to be ribbed. Fighters who remain in the no-fly zone may also be suffocated to fight, among which Ma Si and Bar, who can perform air combat missions

The Northern Fighter will not exceed the straits, so the Air Force has greatly reduced the number of air-control fighters, only over the three "standby zones", namely over Hydebara in southern Pakistan, and over Jaipur in central India and Kolkata in eastern India. The point-and-fall starts, and some of them are involved in ground strikes as soon as they are old. Although, large ammunition that Xiaoyang cannot carry attacks important targets, such as air-launched missiles used to bomb Indian Air Force Bases.

Because the first round of bombing achieved results exceeded expectations, the Air Force's combat mission before the second round of large-scale bombing began. In order to ensure the completion of the second round of bombing mission and support the airborne troops to attack Siliguri, the Air Force also prepared some tactical aviation troops as reserves to attack.

The operation starts according to the count.

There is only one target for the bombing this time, that is, the Indian army facilities and defensive positions in the surrounding areas of Xiliguli.

In order to defeat the Indian army's will to the greatest extent, the Air Force mobilized 3 kilograms, saying that the number of fighter jets in the small crash brigade was only Lengjia. The Air Force also mobilized four brigades of graceful bombers and strategic aviation. After three years of adaptation, the brigade size was reduced by half. It was prepared to carry out large-scale bombing of Siliguri after tactical fighters. The main reason for the Air Force to invest in strategic aviation at this time is that the aircraft group can be deployed in the domestic strategic air base. There is no need to snatch the front-line airport with tactical aviation. In other words, when the support capacity of the front-line air base is limited, dispatching strategic aviation is the only way to improve the strike force of the air force.

More than 74 fighter jets were invested in a battle. It was considered a battle in modern warfare.

In addition to the "Blade by 1 o'clock deployed in the rear strategic air base, tactical fighters all take off before the point. The first batch of tactical fighters will arrive at the battlefield on time at the old point, and use ammunition outside the defense zone to attack several important targets near Xiliguri. Then the large aircraft group arrives, using various

Price "ammunition is volley-bombed. Although the Air Force's fighter jets are not missiles, there will be no problem that they cannot be recalled after taking off. However, Pei Chengyi can only issue an order to cancel the combat operation before the old point, otherwise there will be no time to recall the fighter jets. More importantly, the Army's combat troops operate with the Air Force!

As early as the first group of Gansu thugs carrying airborne troops left the air force base in the southwest region.

Because the flight speed of the transport aircraft is slower, the transport aircraft fleet will arrive in Siliguri in about 2 hours. According to the combat plan, the early strike operation has ended at this time, and the transport aircraft fleet will send the airborne troops to the airborne field opened by the Air Force. As long as the airborne troops land, ground combat will begin.

In other words, Pei Chengyi can stop before the old point blade segment at the latest.

Of course, after the head of state issued the order, this problem no longer exists.

By the point, Pei Chengyi issued an offensive order.

It can be said that it is very timely.

Because the first batch of fighter jets had not yet arrived in the war zone, the long-range artillery deployed in the Shannan area participated in the war first.

During the concentrated artillery attack that lasted for the old minutes, a total of artillery brigades belonging to individual troops and four artillery brigades directly commanded by the Eastern Army participated in the battle. Listen to the artillery brigade, there were a total of artillery battalions, that is, a thug, Qumen, participated in the artillery operation. Because it was a short-term artillery attack, the artillery participating in the war opened fire at the speed of the old firing per minute, and threw nearly 10,000 kilograms of heavy artillery shells into the Xiliguli area within minutes. The amount of ammunition thrown in the minutes exceeded that of Huikoutun. The powerful strike ability of the artillery is shocking. You must know that if the Air Force carried out the same amount of strike operation, it is necessary to dispatch 4 Four Haos and One Xu, or Jinjia. Obviously, even if all the fighter jets of the Republic Air Force were on the battlefield, they could not throw so much ammunition in one strike.

This shelling has also been recorded in history.

Although the electromagnetic guns were on the war stage as early as the Peninsula War and shined in the strategic strike operations in the late Japanese war, before that, the electromagnetic gun had not participated in such a large-scale tactical shelling operation. At the same time, the thug, Ayuto electromagnetic gun, was used in the same time, in terms of scale and strike effect, it can be regarded as the pinnacle of artillery history. If calculated based on the amount of ammunition throw per unit time, the average ammunition thrown per minute is more than the supplication of sacrificial fireworks, which is absolutely unprecedented in the history of war. From the strike effect, the power of this round of shelling is no less than the atomic bomb dropped by the US military on Hiroshima in World War II. Red tons, the total explosion power is equivalent to.ton.

It has to be said that the artillery once again robbed the Air Force's job.

The old spot, that is, about minutes after the shelling ended, the first batch of small thugs transformed into fighter jets to reach the attack airspace.

After waiting for a full 3 minutes, the pilot did not receive the attack order.

It is not that there is a problem with the command system, but that early warning aircraft that serves as command and coordination tasks. The new generation of early warning aircraft of the Republic integrates most of the functions of previous air command aircraft. The Air Force did not purchase air command aircraft separately and was unable to find the planned attack target.

There is nothing strange about this, because several important targets near Siliguri, namely, air defense facilities that threaten tactical fighter jets are important targets for artillery attacks. For example, when attacking air defense positions located in the northeast of Siliguri, the Jinduo electric-bumping gun of the No. brigade assigned to the mission threw a total of thousands of shells, and used hundreds of tons of ammunition to completely destroy the air defense positions covering an area of ​​less than 20,000 square meters.

In order to avoid returning with bullets, the little thugs' concave machine group was converted to perform other tasks.

When the fleet flew over Xiliguli, the pilot saw it as if it were the surface of the moon.

There were craters of all sizes everywhere on the ground, as dense as hornets' nests. You can imagine how violent the previous shelling was.

The other two squadrons who arrived later said that Xiaopin and Xiaochuang Cluster were not so lucky because these fighters carried short-range ammunition for volleyball bombing.

The bombing target in the scramble cannot be found, and the pilot can only perform "battlefield support mission."

In other words, all fighter jets hovered over the battlefield, looking for any target worth dropping bombs and returning after using up ammunition. Because the shelling was too dense, all exposed vehicle-type targets were not spared. Therefore, many pilots had to drop bombs worth hundreds of thousands of yuan on Indian infantry that were evading everywhere.

Later, even Pei Chengyi had to sigh that the Republic's Air Force could fight like the US military.

You should know that during the Afghan War, the US military often used millions of dollars in Tomahawk cruise missiles to attack tents worth dozens of dollars.

From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as an improvement in the Republic's military strength.

It was even more unfortunate that the aircraft group was late. After the tactical fighter dropped ammunition to the scattered Indian infantry, the bomber could only drop dozens of tons of unguided bombs onto the already empty Indian positions. It was not a matter of scrapping that the bomber brought bombs back, because the aircraft group needed to carry out the next round of bombs as soon as possible after returning to the base. If the bomber brought bombs back, the ground crew would have to spend a lot of time unloading the bombs in the bomb bay. This delayed the next attack time and strengthened the workload of the ground crew.

Anyway, non-guided bombs are not expensive. No matter how many they are used, the Air Force will not feel distressed. It is better to throw them into the Indian position.

The war has reached this point, and the Air Force feels more or less helpless

After the war, as the Army began to develop electric-bump coil electromagnetic guns with better performance and longer ranges, the Air Force had to ask the General Staff to strictly distinguish the strike range between aviation and artillery, and avoid repeatedly consuming strike power and wasting expensive ammunition in the same battle.

No matter what the process is, when the little thugs arrived, there were no more Indian troops still active on the battlefield.

The airborne operation went very smoothly, and even Colonel Li Dongshi, who had just been promoted to airborne thugs and the commander of the Trade and Tourism Brigade, could not believe it.

All 4 ground combat battalions completed the airborne within minutes. The thugs of 2 engineering battalions were waiting for their arrival and landing smoothly on the airborne field.

After deploying the camp department, Li Dongshi began to deploy the defense line.

The mission of the Airborne Thugs is not to attack Xiliguli, guarded by the Printing Army, nor to occupy other Indian camps and military bases, but to defend the airborne field, so that the engineering troops can have enough time to establish front-line field airports.

For the airborne thugs and traders, such tasks are easier than vacation travel.

Of course, Li Dongshi did not forget to let the transport plane send the brigade artillery battalion and logistics battalion as soon as possible. Although the brigade artillery battalion was equipped with large-caliber mortars, not powerful electromagnetic guns. However, in position defense wars, the power of the large-caliber mortars is not necessarily worse than that of the electromagnetic guns. More importantly, Li Dongshi participated in all combat operations of the airborne thugs and trade brigades, and he would never forget the previous tragic battles, nor would he forget the artillery troops directly commanded.

The transport fleet can transport most of the troops of the old 3 brigade in one batch, not that the number of Ganjiu is large enough, nor that they are wearing thugs and platoons. When designing Ganjiu, the airborne combat operations were fully considered. The cabin was more spacious and the capacity exceeded that of the chaotic concave. While transporting particle airborne vehicles and two airborne shifts, it can also air transport 2 old ton cargo pallets, or airborne tasks that can be completed by Shao, which greatly improves the air transport efficiency.

The key to improving air freight efficiency is not airborne, nor is airborne landing.

To this end, the engineering troops that arrived first must pave the runway before the transport fleet arrives again.

Two engineering battalions, without any equipment, could not be completed so arduously

There is no problem that cannot be solved, and the good show is still to come.

After controlling the airborne field and deploying the defense line, Li Dongshi sent a signal.

At this time, the "bushe fleet is flying to the airborne ground. These low-flying transport aircraft affiliated to the Dizhanmian Air Transport Brigade carry not combat troops, but equipment used to build field airports.

When the improvement was not concave, the Land Airlines clearly stated that the new vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft must be able to carry thugs. The airborne tank with the side armor and the top remote control turret was still substantially improved than that of the 2 marshes, which is particularly suitable for transporting equipment of huge sizes. There is no problem with using the sauna to transport engineering equipment used to build field airports and prefabricated parts for laying temporary runways. The combat weight of the airborne tank exceeds the clump tons is Daotun, because many large equipment that can fill the cabin has less than the mass of the concave tons. The Suotian 2 meter can transport approximately concave stew materials to the front line in a batch. Establishing a place containing a trade brigade provides some additional assistance.

The two aircraft group arrived at the airborne field.

What Li Dongshi wanted was not ammunition, because the transport plane airdropped a lot of ammunition.

What he wants are several sets of logistics support equipment that cannot be airdropped, such as a set of field cooking equipment that can provide delicious agricultural meals to three thugs within the sky, a field bathroom that can bathe famous officers and soldiers at the same time, a field cinema that can accommodate famous officers and soldiers, and a field medical system that can rescue Ming's seriously injured and contain Jingming's lightly injured officers and soldiers at the same time.

.

Only by keeping officers and soldiers strong in their energy can they fight a good battle.

Li Dongshi, who climbed up from the grassroots, knew very well the significance of logistics support to combat effectiveness. More importantly, Li Dongshi knew very well that the airborne thugs at this time were no longer the airborne brigades during the Five Elders' brigades. The officers and soldiers had changed several groups. Now the cultural quality of soldiers has been greatly improved, and their hard-working spirit is not as good as before. Although in extreme environments, the excellent tradition of airborne trade brigades can become the spiritual pillar of soldiers, under conditions, not many officers and soldiers were willing to hide in the tunnel and fight against the enemy from Wulai to the teeth like Li Dongshi did back then.

Is this going to make progress or regress?

Li Dongshi couldn't figure it out. He just didn't want the emotions of the officers and soldiers to be affected, because no one could tell when the airborne thug could complete the combat mission.

According to the plan, the transport fleet will arrive again at the point of the point blade.

In other words, in the next hour, the officers and soldiers of the 2 engineering battalions must create a new war record!
Chapter completed!
