Chapter 1164 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount
White finds himself in a dilemma.
I thought I could take advantage of the navigation to bite off a piece of meat on the red side's territory, but before I started biting, I discovered that my teeth were actually dentures.
Most of the red team's navigation satellites were destroyed, but the blue team's GPS satellites also suffered a violent counterattack.
White's Joint Staff originally estimated that it would take at least a week for the red team to start replacing some of the lost Beidou satellites. The ones that were replaced in the past few days may be destroyed by the blue team as soon as they entered orbit.
One week means that he has an absolute advantage against the red side, which is enough for him to eat a lot of meat on the border.
They even prepared for the worst. The blue team could still use the Galileo system if their GPS was gone. Unexpectedly, the purple team destroyed the Galileo satellites.
As a result, White is currently in a situation where it is difficult to get off the tiger.
But when war is declared, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, so we can only bite the bullet and shoot it.
White's original plan to attack mainly was in the Kara area. It is not difficult to understand why it was chosen here, because according to the intelligence before Blue's satellite monitoring network was attacked, Red had signs of a large force gathering in the northwest section. It was obviously not easy to attack this area.
.
The terrain in the Tonglang area in the middle section is steep, and it is difficult to open a gap from here. Moreover, even if the Red Side's first line of defense is broken and the Red Side attacks inland, the logistics will be easily cut off, and the advancing troops will easily become isolated.
After much deliberation, the Kara area in the northeastern section of the entire front is the most suitable for launching an attack. In history, this is not the first time that White has launched an attack here, and there have been precedents of successfully breaking through frontline defenses.
According to previous detections by the Blue satellite, there is currently only one Mountain Brigade 52 on the Red side in the northeast section. Compared with the White side's own troops deployed on the border between the two sides, the strength of one brigade is not worth mentioning.
At present, the seven northeastern states have deployed six mountain divisions, two tank regiments, plus border police special forces, artillery brigades, etc., giving them an absolute advantage in terms of strength.
Therefore, it is a wise choice to choose the Kara area in the northeast section for breakthrough.
The average altitude of the Kara area is more than 4,000 meters. The terrain is complex and many large-scale equipment cannot operate normally. Only some of the equipment developed on the plateau can finally participate in combat.
Over the years, in order to deal with the Red side, the White side has established the world's largest mountain division unit dedicated to plateau operations. In addition to special training for plateaus, it has also spent huge sums of money to introduce plateau special operations equipment.
For example, the 155mm M777 light howitzer is made of all-titanium alloy. This kind of howitzer is made of titanium alloy, a precious material of fourth-generation fighters, which greatly reduces the structural weight. Although it is still towed, it can be transported by Chinook helicopters.
Deployment enhances the flexibility of deployment in alpine mountainous areas and greatly enhances the firepower intensity of the Baifang Mountain Division.
However, the M777 was bought after all. The purchase price was as high as 5 million dollars per door, which was so insanely expensive that White only equipped 145 of them in the end.
In order to serve these 145 expensive treasures, the mountain troops deployed on the border also installed 15 Chinook transport aircraft to transport these howitzers.
At the same time, the White side also owns the Su-30MKI heavy-duty fighter jets that were famous 10 years ago. In response to the Red side's dramatic leap in aviation technology in recent years, the White side also spent nearly $250 million to introduce Rafale fighter jets from Gaul.
Use graphics to create air superiority.
In fact, in order to deal with the red side, the white side spent a lot of money. In addition to the Rafale, it also had deep pockets and imported 28 Apache armed helicopters with the best comprehensive performance in the world at a price of nearly 150 million US dollars each.
Support tank operations.
Judging from the paper data, White's offensive capabilities and equipment level are terrifying. They can buy advanced equipment on Blue Star. If we insist on having any shortcomings, then the only disadvantage is that it is difficult to reach the plateau area.
T-72 and T-90 tanks in action.
Due to problems with the design itself, at such high altitudes, these two types of heavy tanks can only breathe, and it is difficult to carry out mobile operations. If they maneuver a few times, they will probably collapse. This is why White does not want to fight in Tonglang.
One of the reasons to take action.
Although the Red Army does not have its own mountain division, it divides battle zones by region and provides special equipment based on regional characteristics. For example, Blue Star's first true plateau tank, the Type 15 light tank, can be deployed flexibly in high and cold mountains.
Type 09 122mm vehicle-mounted howitzer and PCL-181 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzer.
These two types of wheeled truck guns are more flexible and maneuverable than the M777 howitzers deployed by White's helicopters. They can run away after a hit and have a higher probability of survival.
In terms of tank support, the red side has self-developed medium-sized armed helicopters. Although the comprehensive performance of the Wuzhi-10 is not as good as that of the white side's Apache, it is the first armed helicopter of Blue Star equipped with helicopter-specific air-to-air missiles TY-90.
Although White's Longbow Apache has strong performance, its main task is to perform ground combat. It uses pointed horizontal Stinger missiles for air combat, which is obviously at a disadvantage in helicopter battles.
In terms of air force, the red side has self-developed medium-sized third-generation semi-fighters, J-10C and heavy-duty fighters and J-16. The plateau combat capabilities of both sides are equally matched, but the white side relies on its own strength advantage, and the red side is currently on the Eastern Front.
The battle with the blue and yellow sides was fierce, and they lost the support of the Beidou system and were unable to exert the power of their rocket army. Therefore, the white side believed that it was currently superior to the red side and decided to strike preemptively.
After decades of long-term preparation, the White side has painstakingly operated more than 50 military airports in the border area that stretches for hundreds of miles, including numerous forward airports only a few kilometers away from the border and two airports less than 200 kilometers away from the border.
Large airports, equipped with auxiliary facilities for various types of fighter aircraft, are the launch locations for major air battles.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The red side is obviously insufficient in strength. The number of troops and fighters is far less than that of the white side. Its two airports closest to the front line are only a short distance from the breakthrough point.
It is hundreds of kilometers long and is a dual-purpose airport, which suffers from emergency dispatch and flight range.
At 4 a.m. the day after Belarus declared war, the Belarusian Air Force took off 2 Rafale fighter jets and 4 Su-30MKIs from the frontline airport. According to the combat plan, the mission of these aircraft was to choose an area not covered by anti-aircraft missiles on the Red side and cross the border.
line, attacking several military radar stations at the front of the Kara area in the red square.
Because the current reconnaissance and navigation capabilities of the red side have been severely hit, the thing that worries the white side the most is the red side's radar.
As long as the red side's forward radar position is destroyed with a sudden attack tactic, and then a ground attack is launched before the red side is completely repaired, supplemented by air strikes, the red side without radar support at that time will be blinded.
, let it be slaughtered.
According to the plan, it is estimated that at least 200 square kilometers of area can be captured in three days. No matter what happens next, at least a bite of meat can be obtained.
White has always been strategically ambitious, but tactically cautious. They know that Red is not easy to mess with, but they can't help but want to take advantage.
Based on this ambivalent mentality, White's tactical arrangements often appear visionary and short-term.
When they organized and prepared to launch an attack in the northeastern section, what the White side's command did not know was that the Red side's troops in the northwest section had already entered the Tiefang and had joined forces with the Tiefang to assemble on the border between Tiefang and Bai.
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.
Bai Fang had no idea that when he was preparing to move in the northeast section, a gleaming sharp knife from behind was slowly approaching his neck.
