"The three-day exercise of the Sky Eagle military exercise, the combat objective of our Red Army is to attack the headquarters of the Blue Army, that is, the Quzhou base tower. In order to accomplish this goal, it is necessary to break through the multi-level defense line system of the Blue Army, in view of the lack of effective intelligence and information, can only be predicted in advance, according to the analysis of the allocation of forces on both sides, I think the Blue Army will be passive defense, the most arranged three lines of defense, the first is the outer defense line, about 500 kilometers or so, composed of ground air detection radar and a small number of patrol and alert J-10. ”

The left side of the operational staff officer stared at the crowd and took the lead in expressing his views and thoughts:

"The second line of defense is about 300 kilometers, composed of the ground Hongqi 9 long-range air defense missile system + J-10 main aircraft group + air police 2000 early warning aircraft + ground-to-air radar, and the third line of defense is the core area defense line of Quzhou base, mainly composed of Hongqi-16, part of J-10, and base self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery, among them, the second line of defense is the most powerful."

There were a lot of words from the left side of the staff officer, and everyone present nodded one after another.

Zhou Hai sat at the back of the long oval table, silent, and listened quietly.

This was the first time he had participated in such a high-level military conference, and as a cadet, he adhered to the principle of talking less and listening more.

It's just that this operational idea of predicting the passive defense of the Blue Army is a bit conservative?

"Don't overlook the addition of the Blues, two H-6K bombers. I believe everyone knows that this latest bomber is a long-range cruise missile air-based launch platform, I think, the Blue Army will use these two H-6K as the core of the attack, the first wave of out-of-zone strikes, attack our Red Army's key military targets, Shiyuan Airport, Haiyuan Airport, the second wave led by the Air Police 2000 J-10 aircraft group"

Zhang Yu, the second combat staff officer, immediately said and expressed a different opinion: "Attack is the best defense!" The enemy will never do exactly what we want it to. ”

"What Staff Officer Zhang said is reasonable."

Captain Xu Jian nodded affirmatively, and said: "The complexity of the Sky Eagle military exercise has been further improved, and it is closer to actual combat. ”

The idea of passive defense put forward by the left side of the staff was the mainstream strategic thinking of the air force in the last century, with defense as the main thing and offense as a supplement.

Taking the initiative to attack is a strategic idea after the air force has gradually become stronger in the new century, emphasizing both offense and defense, with offense as the main focus and defense as a supplement.

The two strategic ideas have had a wide impact on the troops, and the main manifestation of the former lies in the fact that former pilots and flight cadets mainly took flight safety as their primary responsibility, and the annual amount of flight training was relatively low, far from reaching the level of the world's mainstream air forces.

The main performance of the latter is obvious, which greatly improves the training level of pilots, emphasizes actual combat training with 'offense' as the core, and lowers flight safety to second place.

As for the main reason for the two ideas, it is simple - money.

"The Blues will never give up their advantages, Staff Officer Zhang, I agree with your view that the other side will attack, I still reserve my opinion, the Blues will inevitably set up a defensive line." When the staff officer heard this, he was stunned for a moment, groaned, shook his head slightly, and did not refute.

There is nothing wrong with this saying that offense is the best defense, but basic defense is also essential.

However, the Blues, who were originally the defenders, instead launched an active attack on the attacking Red Army, which was really a bit unexpected.

"Thank you, Staff Officer Zuo, now, after analysis, we have obtained two points, the other party will focus on offense, supplemented by defense. In view of the fact that our side lacks perfect anti-aircraft firepower weapons, and only one Air Police 500 provides information support, we should formulate an operational plan of defending first and then counterattacking. ”

Staff Officer Zhang Yu's face was calm, he glanced at everyone, and said: "After the official start of the military exercise, take off all the participating aircraft as soon as possible, avoid the possible strikes of the blue army, preserve the vital forces, set up temporary supply points, and launch a follow-up attack on the blue base with the support of the air police 500, Xu Brigade, what do you think of this combat idea?" ”

"I think the idea works."

After careful consideration, Xu Jian nodded and affirmed: "Regarding the details of the battle plan for the follow-up attack, Zuo Shen and Zhang Shen, you can study it, of course, everyone can also actively express their opinions, as long as it is a good idea and method, you can adopt it." ”

Defend first, then counterattack.

Preserving the living forces, slowly and slowly, this is the best choice for the Red Army in the current predicament, there is no one.

There is no way, the Red Army played by the Shiyuan and the Haiyuan is like a small and medium-sized country that lacks a perfect combat system, with low strength and a complete 'weak air force'.

The imaginary enemy blue army played by the Quzhou base is the 'powerful air force' of Qingyishui -- strategic early warning aircraft, ground-to-air radar, third-generation fighter group, strategic bombers, long-range anti-aircraft missiles and medium-close city air defense missiles, self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery, with a perfect multi-level attack and defense system and in-depth strike advantages, with powerful electromagnetic advantages.

The luxurious configuration of the imaginary enemy Blue Army is beyond imagination, as Xiao Nan once said, the Blue Army is almost equipped with EMP, and the difficulty of its military exercise can be called hell.

"I heard that the director team has also added a secret weapon to the Blues?" Yang Xiaolong's face was serious, giving his inner doubts.

Secret weapon, this is the gossip that Yang Xiaolong learned, well, the news from the mouth of the leader of the academy.

Hearing what Yang Xiaolong gave, Zhou Hai was slightly puzzled, and turned his head to look at Wang Zhuyu and Bai Tangfei, the two of them were confused.

Xu Jian did not hide it, and nodded: "Yes, what is the specific secret weapon, we don't know for the time being, the weapons and equipment of the Blue Army are now clear, Thunderbolt-12, Thunderbolt-10 and other precision-guided weapons." ”

"As for the details of the follow-up offensive, there are no special changes from previous years, and we can only do our best to complete the operational objectives."

Zhang Yu took over the words, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head, according to the available information and information he had: "However, in view of the fact that Zhou Hai and the other eight crash course students have mastered the low-altitude penetration flight technology, they can choose a difficult mountain attack route, from the Taihang Mountains - Dabie Mountains - Huangshan Mountain, and finally enter the southeast hilly and mountainous areas. ”

The operational objective of the Red Army's attacking side has always been to attack the command center of the Blue Army, however, this is basically an impossible task.

It is difficult to defeat the J-10 fleet equipped by the Blue Army with a high-level education aircraft, let alone a complete anti-aircraft firepower network that makes people numb.

The low-altitude penetration tactics in mountainous areas are indeed effective, but in the face of the Air Police 2000 strategic early warning aircraft, they do not have much effect, and before entering the Dabie Mountains, they will be discovered and intercepted and attacked by the blue side aircraft group.
