In fact, joint combat command is a very difficult task.
From the beginning of the red-blue confrontation to the present, Li Zheng has not been home for several days.
In the past few days, his happiest time was sleeping, especially taking a bath and sleeping.
After staying up all night last night, he originally wanted to take a nap after dealing with Blue's missile attack.
After all, the "Blizzard" plan has been prepared for a long time.
War is like this. In the peaceful years before war, no matter how stable and secure it is, war preparations cannot be relaxed.
What is combat readiness?
This includes various plans.
Various plans to deal with unexpected wars.
Because Li Zheng temporarily asked him to change the plan and achieve new tactical goals, Li Zheng once again gathered the leaders of each branch of the military and his own staff team and opened a video connection.
The purpose of the video connection is to study together how to allocate resources and how to achieve the goals and tasks assigned by the leader.
Discussion time is very limited. After all, time cannot be wasted in meetings. More time should be reserved for the implementation phase.
So the meeting only lasted 20 minutes.
In just fifteen minutes, Li Zheng gave each of the three branches of the Rocket Force, Air Force, and Navy five minutes. The last five minutes were for him to make the final decision and issue the order.
Some people are born to be generals. Although Li Zheng is young, his rich military experience and various complex battlefield tests have long forged him to be able to see the key points at a glance in the most complex situations, and seize the key points with the most powerful force.
The ability to quickly come up with targeted solutions.
The focus of the discussion is that all the resources that should have been used to attack Miyajima now need to be used to take care of Huang Fang's base. How to use them?
The blue team's defense projects on Miyajima are indeed eye-catching and very scary. However, from the actual situation, these large-scale efforts made by the blue team are essentially meaningless.
Because the red side's missile technology is very mature and has reached the advanced level of Blue Star in this field.
Regarding the threat from Miyajima, the red side has already had countermeasures. In the 2017 grassland military parade, the German service-26 medium-range ballistic missile ranked first.
Since then, the Dongfeng-26 has continued to improve in terms of high-energy propellants. The latest Dongfeng-26C has a maximum range of even 5,000 kilometers, giving the Red Army a reliable capability to attack fixed targets on the No. 2 island chain and large ships.
.
Miyajima is about 3,000 kilometers away from the Red Coast. Taking into account factors such as the launch base, the range of missiles that can pose a threat to Miyajima must be at least 3,500 kilometers.
In addition to Miyajima, the blue team's base on Diego Garcia is also an important strategic support point for them. If the missile's range can reach 4,000 kilometers, then Diego Garcia will also be included in the strike range.
In addition to the Defu-26, the red side recently successfully test-fired a Defu-27 hypersonic missile. For the finalized Defu-27 missile, the range of 5,500 kilometers and above can not only effectively compensate for the Defu-27
There is a gap in range between the -26 and the German-31AG intercontinental ballistic missile. The most important thing is that it can also carry a "waverider" warhead.
The Defu-27 is an upgraded version of the Defu-17 hypersonic missile that has been publicly unveiled. Its warhead can also continue to glide and maneuver at the edge of the atmosphere, without following the parabolic trajectory of conventional ballistic missiles. In addition, the maximum speed of Mach 15-20
With such speed, it can almost effectively penetrate various air defense and anti-missile systems currently in service around the world.
Therefore, Miyajima is not safe.
At present, Li Zheng's biggest headache is not whether he has a German express delivery service that can reach Miyajima, but the issue of quantity.
To destroy a large military base or an island and completely paralyze all the airstrips, radars, air defenses, hangars, oil and other facilities on the island, the number required is staggering.
Is it okay to just play on the track?
Li Zheng thinks it’s not possible.
In particular, Blue Fang’s engineering emergency repair capabilities cannot be underestimated.
When Xiao Baga made a sneak attack on the Pearl Base, his mistake was that he only bombed ships, not factories, not oil depots and other places. In the end, the blue team's ability to recover quickly was not fatally hit, which led to its subsequent failure.
Li Zheng believes that either we don't take action, or we have to paralyze bases like Miyajima for at least two months or more.
In order to paralyze Miyajima for a longer period of time, not only must we attack key military facilities on the island, but we must also prevent the blue team's support forces from reaching the island and completing the repair of the military base on the island.
This will require continued attacks on Miyajima.
For example, if Miyajima is paralyzed during the attack on the first day, then the blue team will definitely organize the power to repair it. When organizing the power to repair, the best way is for you to take the lead and I will launch missiles to destroy it, leaving you unable to repair it.
.
However, this is very costly and consumes a lot of money.
The blue side is not stupid. Of course, they will send aircraft carrier formations near the island and even forward to the sea east of the green side's control area while conducting emergency repairs. They will intercept the missiles fired from the direction of the red side in the initial and middle stages, and strive to keep the
Miyajima's Maintenance Power.
Therefore, once the two sides enter this stage, it will be the consumption of ammunition for both sides. To put it bluntly, it will be a battle to see who has stronger industrial capabilities, who has stronger internal strength, and who can produce more ammunition faster to replenish the front line and repair destroyed military facilities.
.
This is why Serious asked Li Zheng to take over Miyajima as soon as possible, because the blue side had already dispatched three aircraft carrier formations from the direction of Pearl Base to the fighting area, intending to intervene in this battle.
Once the three aircraft carrier formation successfully enters the battle zone, the balance of strength between the enemy and ourselves between the No. 1 and No. 2 island chains will change.
It is detrimental to the red side.
The essence of area denial is denial.
This will prevent you from entering the area I control and posing more threats to me.
Li Zheng proposed two plans at the meeting. These two plans.
One is an attack plan adjusted based on the original "Blizzard" attack plan, with the purpose of delivering a fatal blow to the bases in the direction of Miyajima and Huangfang.
The other is a denial plan that prevents the three aircraft carrier formations that are about to arrive from the blue team from approaching the No. 1 island chain and from entering the 500 kilometers of the sea east of the green team’s control area.
There are two ways to do this.
One is that the red side aircraft carrier formation moves forward and engages in a sea confrontation with the blue side aircraft carrier formation.
As long as you win, the opponent can't get in.
But leaving the No. 1 island chain, the red team's aircraft carrier formation has no combat advantage.
Therefore, this plan was not very certain, and when the staff proposed it, it was rejected by Li Zheng.
The second is to send submarines to intercept.
Although the sea area facing the east side of the green side is a deep sea area, which is convenient for submarines to hide, the blue side is coming from the aircraft carrier formation, which has strong anti-submarine capabilities.
Even if the red team desperately kills one blue team ship after another, the entire submarine force will inevitably be exposed, and will eventually be hunted by the blue team, which has strong anti-submarine capabilities.
The third one is to use the German series missiles to attack.
It's just that three aircraft carrier formations came at the same time. Even if the German server series carried out a saturation attack, I'm afraid it would be difficult to sink them all to the bottom of the sea in a short time. In this process, the blue side is not a fool, and it is bound to attack the red side's missiles along the coast.
When the base launches a counterattack, will it be able to sustain this intensity for a period of time?
Not sure either.
The three methods are all lose-lose tactics.
What Li Zheng wants is not a lose-lose situation for both sides.
It is the smallest loss that consumes the blue side’s most valuable war resources.
Therefore, he did not nod to any of the three plans.
"It's almost time."
Li Zheng looked at his watch.
"With the last two minutes left, has anyone come up with a new method? If not, maybe we will be forced to choose one of the three options."
Suddenly, the small conference room fell into silence.
It seems that the blue side has already recognized this situation. So far, the CVN-73 aircraft carrier formation stationed in the yellow side base has been deployed north of Okinori Island and has not come to join the battle, just to wait for other
Three aircraft carriers arrived and started taking action together.
Time waits for no one!
By then there will be a four-carrier formation, and the red side will face tremendous pressure, especially the landing force, which is likely to be cut off from sea supplies.
If the landing results cannot be preserved and the green team's control area cannot be controlled, then the entire confrontation will definitely end with the red team's failure.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief."
A staff officer suddenly looked away from his laptop screen and looked at Li Zheng.
"I have something here that might be useful."
"What?" Li Zheng asked.
"This -" the staff officer turned the screen of his laptop around and projected it onto the big screen: "Deploying this kind of thing can make a big difference with a small amount. It may be very useful, but it will take at least 10 hours."
"10 hours?"
Li Zheng shook his head.
"We don't have that much time."
The staff officer said: "This will not delay the attack on Miyajima and the Huang Fang base. I have checked the trajectory of the blue side's aircraft carrier formation. They have at least 12 hours to reach the vicinity of Miyajima and advance to the 500 kilometers east of the green side's control area."
The sea area still needs more time, so we have enough time."
Li Zheng's eyes fell on the big screen, staring at the item projected on the screen by the staff officer.
That is a strange thing, something that has been tested but has not been used in any exercises.
