Early the next morning, the three groups submitted their finalized combat plans. They left the war room and went back to rest. The combat plans were submitted to Li Zhan's desk.
Just when Li Hai and others were about to catch up on their sleep, Li Zhan's office informed them to watch TV news. After turning on the TV, everyone was shocked.
E Army launched a special military operation against W Army, and war clouds gathered in Eastern Europe.
During the hour from 19:00 to 20:00 every day, unless you are performing a task, you cannot watch a set of news broadcasts.
Therefore, Li Hai and others had a relatively good understanding of the situation in hotspot areas. However, no one expected a war.
Within half an hour, the deputy director of Li Zhan's office, the smiling senior colonel, came over personally to inform them to gather in the war room at 10 o'clock.
With doubts, everyone took the time to catch up on their sleep. Before 9:50, everyone arrived in the war room, including pilots from three service groups.
At 10 o'clock sharp, Li Zhan came over on time, and a strange middle-aged man came in with him, wearing casual clothes and carrying a briefcase.
"I have invited Professor Tang, an expert on the international situation, to come over and tell you about the sudden conflict a few hours ago. You can think about it carefully and predict the direction of this conflict based on your respective combat plans." Li Zhan introduced.
.
Li Hai could tell at a glance that Professor Tang was clearly from the intelligence department. Everyone could smell the smell of the special department on the middle-aged man.
Moreover, non-military personnel are not allowed to enter the war room. This is one of the basic command posts of Southern Air Defense.
Professor Tang said hello to everyone, took out a compact laptop from his briefcase, and connected it to the internal network. Soon, the information sent by Professor Tang could be seen on the military computer in front of Li Hai and others, with text.
The data includes image data.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Tang typed into his laptop, and an extremely clear satellite image appeared on the large screen on the wall in front of everyone.
Damn, live broadcast of the war!
This Professor Tang is definitely from the awesome department.
The scene was very quiet, and everyone's attention was shocked by the content of the real-time video on the display. It could be seen that there were many perspectives, from both sides. Li Hai was shocked and didn't know where Professor Tang got it.
First, there was an airport of E Army, with dozens of helicopters on standby. Then, about 300 special forces boarded the plane carrying light and heavy weapons. From the service logos they wore, we knew that they were from the airborne troops.
Immediately, the armed helicopters took off first, covering the transport helicopters as they took off and flew southward. What impressed everyone was that such a large helicopter formation began to fly at ultra-low altitudes close to the river shortly after taking off.
This is the best way to penetrate from the air.
Seeing this, Li Hai found at least three problems with the E Army. First, the W Army's air defense network was not destroyed before the breakthrough. Second, there was no sign that the E Army had implemented electromagnetic interference. Third,
Most of the air assault formations carry light weapons, the most powerful of which are individual rocket launchers, and the number of such weapons is limited.
He quickly wrote it down in his notebook and continued reading.
The performance of Army W was equally unexpected. The air assault group of Army E ran for a hundred kilometers, but their air defense network did not respond.
Until the E Army air assault group completed its last turn and pointed directly at an airport of the W Army, some scattered shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles were fired from the hills beside the river and shot down an E Army armed helicopter. That was all.
The E Army air assault group landed at an airport of the W Army. Those elite E Army airborne troops moved very quickly. In less than an hour, they captured the office building and established a defensive position. The armed helicopters responsible for escorting defended the airport.
The position carried out fire strikes, with the Ka-52 as the main force, sweeping back and forth. Up to now, E Army's air assault operations have been perfect.
At this time, W Army reacted. Two brigades stationed nearby quickly sent reinforcements to the airport and at the same time used artillery to attack the airport runway.
"E Army's operation failed." Li Hai sighed with regret.
He has already seen that after the air assault group seizes the airport, the follow-up will definitely be a large number of large transport aircraft to transport the armored troops over, using the airport as a stronghold to launch an attack on the core area of W Army, a typical center-blooming tactic.
However, the runway was destroyed, and the follow-up actions of E Army were also destroyed. In other words, the more than 300 elite airborne troops who seized the airport have become a lone force.
The subsequent development was as everyone expected. Two brigades of W Army surrounded the airport. Outside, a division of E Army rushed to support and encircled W Army on two sides. For E Army, the original battle plan was basically
It was meaningless. The armored division, which was supposed to attack the core area of Army W in a pincer with the main force of airborne troops, was now tasked with rescuing the more than 300 elite airborne troops who had become alone.
However, the resistance of Army W was very tenacious. After the armored division of Army E penetrated the airport defense line and completely captured the airport again, more than 300 elite airborne troops were almost wiped out.
In the next few days, apart from eating and sleeping, Li Hai and others spent the rest of their time in the war room. During this period, people from various departments kept coming and leaving. As the war progressed, everyone's
His expression became more and more solemn.
??????55.??????
A month later, the battlefield situation returned to the traditional offensive and defensive situation. E Army fought town by town, while W Army deployed troops to defend one by one and actively prepared for counterattack.
Li Hai and others followed the order and submitted their analysis and judgment every three days.
As the understanding deepened, everyone understood that this was a limited military operation carried out by the E Army against the W Army. It could even be said to be a large-scale beheading operation. However, the E Army did not expect that the follow-up situation would completely derail and evolve into
a local battlefield.
By this time, both sides had invested hundreds of thousands of troops.
E Army did not use precision weapons to attack W Army's air defense network before launching the air assault, did not attack W Army's important military targets, and did not use long-range firepower for cover, which directly led to the failure of the air assault operation.
The reason is also very simple. Army E wanted to control the scale and intensity of military operations. However, they overestimated their intelligence capabilities.
Compared with the ground battlefield, pilots like Li Hai paid more attention to the air battlefield. Their colleagues in the Air Force were particularly concerned because the E Army invested Su-35 fighter jets to fight for air supremacy.
The People's Air Force is equipped with a regiment of Su-35 fighter jets, which are very representative fourth-and-a-half-generation fighter jets and the ultimate version of the Su-27 series.
However, the performance of the Su-35 fighter jet on the battlefield is surprising. In everyone's eyes, there is a big gap between the actual performance of this fighter jet and the combat effectiveness claimed by the E Army.
Li Hai and others were organized to carefully study the battlefield performance of the Su-35 and found out a lot of problems. One of the most prominent is that the electronic warfare capability of the Su-35 is an important issue that affects its combat effectiveness. Because the Su-35
Almost all of the losses were caused by W Army's surface-to-air missiles.
Even if there are professional electronic warfare aircraft for cover, the actual situation on the battlefield tells everyone that modern fighter aircraft must have certain electronic warfare capabilities, especially the ability to interfere and suppress surface-to-air missile systems.
Secondly, the Su-35’s battlefield situational awareness capability is not as powerful as the manufacturer advertised. According to colleagues in the Air Force, the aircraft’s battlefield situational awareness capability is not as good as that of the J-10C. This conclusion makes the Air Force 2nd Division’s
Our colleagues in the Su-35 regiment were greatly disappointed.
In fact, the Su-35 regiment has realized the shortcomings of the Su-35 in past confrontations. Over time, the Su-35 almost no longer appears in public. Of course, the Su-35's maneuverability and long range are still the biggest problems.
Highlights, very suitable for the regiment to perform daily security patrols in the South China Sea.
Finally, everyone agreed that there were also big problems with Army E's tactics. Overall, Army E had the ability to establish a field air defense network but failed to do so. It also had the ability to carry out precise strikes against important military targets of Army Army W, but failed to do so due to other reasons.
The implementation showed that the coordinated operations of various services and arms were far from ideal.
The air force of E Corps should play a greater role, but as a result, it suffered frequent losses, especially in supporting ground operations. It was effective, but the losses were also huge.
The performance of Army E was astonishing.
This reminds the new generation of pilots such as Li Hai to march and fight. If they do not advance, they will retreat. Never be immersed in the past and present. Only by continuing to climb to the top can you ensure invincibility.
This local war was undoubtedly a bloody demonstration, giving other armies the opportunity to learn from the battlefield, and also demonstrating the mode of warfare under modern technological conditions.
For the People's Air Force, which is conducting a grand strategic air force, this local war is a very good case...
It has been a month since I returned to the test base. The Gobi desert is already covered with heavy snowfall. Looking around, it is covered with white snow.
The structure of the experimental training team remained unchanged, but Zhu Wei began to consciously hand over the training authority to Li Hai and carried out Li Zhan's instructions without compromise.
Li Hai reworked the training plan. The biggest change was the addition of training subjects under low weather conditions. His purpose was not just as simple as takeoff and landing.
Under the new training plan, the team responsible for ensuring the takeoff and landing of fighter aircraft went all out to clear the snow, and the meteorological department closely monitored weather changes to provide guarantee for training.
In November, snowfall became the norm, and the experimental training team switched to training under severe weather conditions. Taking off and landing in heavy snow is a very difficult subject. In order to gain first-hand experience, Li Hai decided to do it himself.
Give it a try, and once you feel confident, then the whole group can do it together.
He believes that land-based airports under snowy conditions are like the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in the vast sea. It is not easy to find the airport.
After everything was ready, on a snowy day, Li Hai controlled the No. 583 J-15S fighter jet to enter the ejection take-off position...()
