Volume 6 The Storm of War Chapter 53 Undeclared War

On January 3, 2022, 35 (Tokyo time, Beijing time, 9 Japan warplanes bombed the Korean military station, heliport, ship dock and lighthouse facilities on Dokdo, and then the Japanese commandos landed on Dokdo by helicopter. At 11:1 in the first release, Japanese Prime Minister Murakami Sadamasa officially announced that Japan would recover the "Takeshima" occupied by South Korea, and implement "administrative jurisdiction" and "territorial defense" on the "Takeshima" from now on.

The "Japan-South Korea Dokdo (Seokudo) War" broke out.

After a surprise attack, South Korea reacted quickly.

At 0:55, the ROK Air Force made a full sortie to kill the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group that was operating in the waters between the hidden islands and Dokdo. Japanese fighter on standby at E-767||Under the guidance of the AWACS aircraft (not the E-767 early warning aircraft in the East China Sea War, but a large early warning aircraft with a protected phased array radar provided by the United States and produced by Japan on the fuselage of the B767 civil airliner, the performance is equivalent to that of the E-111 of the US Air Force), it went to intercept the South Korean fighter.

At 11:20, as soon as Murakami Sadamasa made a statement, an air battle broke out.

The ROK Air Force dispatched the 24F-35AK (the Korean version of the F-35A, which simplified the electronics and tactical data link system and enhanced air combat capabilities, which at the time were the only fighters of this type in South Korea) and the 8F-16C/DD fighter jet, which was guided by the "Hawkeye 2000 (an improved version of the E-2C, not as good as the E2D) AWACS aircraft, to compete with Japanese fighters for air supremacy. The 2F-15K (nicknamed "Goryeo Eagle", the South Korean version of the F-15E, has enhanced ground attack capabilities and air combat capabilities compared to the F-15E, and mainly acts as a long-range attack aircraft) and 24F-16C/D followed up and was responsible for bombing the Japanese commandos landing on Dokdo and attacking the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group.

The Japanese Air Force dispatched 24F-22 (an improved version of the F-22, replacing the fire control radar provided by the United States with an active phased array radar developed by Japan, adding a tactical data link system) and the 24F-35J (F-35 produced by Japan itself, using a large number of electronic equipment developed by Japan, emphasizing attack capabilities, and the air combat performance is not ideal) fighters, consisting of 2E-767||AWACS aircraft provide air guidance and compete with South Korean fighters for air supremacy. Two Japanese aircraft carriers dispatched 12 and 1F-35CJ fighters respectively (the Japanese version of the F-35C, because Japan does not have carrier-based air defense fighters similar to the F/A-18E/F, so the F-35CJ pays more attention to air combat capabilities), and under the guidance of the 2E-2D (the ultimate modification of the E-2 series of AWACS aircraft, equipped with active phased array radar and high-capacity tactical data link, the performance is much better than that of the E-2C and "Hawkeye 2000"), the two South Korean attack aircraft groups were intercepted separately.

The battle began, and the ROK Air Force immediately fell to the upper hand.

It is not that South Korea's fighter has poor performance, after all, in air combat dominated by over-the-horizon, the "air combat performance" of the fighter is more reflected in information collection and processing, rather than the performance of the fighter itself. In other words, the performance of AWACS aircraft determines the outcome of air combat.

The South Korean Air Force is worse than AWACS!

"Hawkeye 2000 is a small AWACS aircraft. There are only communication channels. Guide up to 12 fighters in air combat. The U.S. Navy's E-2 series AWACS aircraft generally perform target search and tracking missions. Information is transmitted back to the fleet air defense combat command center via a high-capacity tactical data link. Fighters are guided by the fleet in air combat.

The ROK Navy's ground fleet does not have the ability to guide air combat to the ground. And the land command center is far from the battlefield. It doesn't work.

At this time. The ability of large AWACS aircraft to ground is fully reflected.

e-767||The AWACS aircraft has a 12 ~ command system. It is possible to command at least 24 fighters at the same time.

The ground tactics of the Japanese Air Force are also very clear. In can only ensure 2e-767||The situation of AWACS aircraft in the front-line area of operation. Only 48 fighters were dispatched to carry out air combat missions at one time. The rest of the fighters acted as reserves. The ground tactics of the South Korean Air Force are a bit confusing. In the case that at most it is possible to provide guidance for fighters. Rush one's fences. 72 fighters were put into service at once. Severely affected tactical command.

Of course. Fight-to-ground performance also had an impact on air combat.

When the research and development of the F-35 series of fighters was established, air combat capability was not put in the first place, and air combat capability was not even particularly required. Even the US military's F-series fighters are not much better in air combat than third-generation heavy fighters. To put it simply, the F-35 is an air supremacy fighter used to seize air supremacy.

If South Korea's F-35K faces the "same door", or a third-generation fighter such as the F-15, the odds are still relatively large.

The problem is that the F-35K of the South Korean Air Force is facing the F-22B, which is designed to seize air supremacy.

There was no suspense in the first round of air battles, and within 25 minutes, the ROK Air Force lost 13 F-35AKs and 27 F-16C/DDs, and only 2F-22B and 7 F-35Js were shot down. The 24F-15K, which bombed Dokdo, fired the GBU-38 "Joint Direct Attack Munition" at the maximum throwing distance, and then retreated at full speed, avoiding a "catastrophe." The 24F-16C/D, which attacked the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group, did not have such good luck, and before launching the AGM-8 "Harpoon" anti-ship missile, it was intercepted head-on by the F-35CJ, and 17 F-16C/DD were immediately shot down, and only 5 successfully escaped after firing missiles.

South Korea is losing more than just fighters.

Because the air battle site was very close to the Japanese fleet and far from the Korean mainland, after losing air supremacy, the pilots who successfully parachuted were either fed sharks in the sea or captured by the Japanese.

For any air force, pilots are more important than fighters.

South Korean Air Force

The harvest, or the only thing worth "showing off", is that the strike ammunition dropped by the F-15K "killed dozens of Japanese commandos who landed on Dokdo, resulting in 3 times the number of Japanese casualties of the South Korean army!"

This "bombing" also led to a rapid expansion of the scale of the conflict.

At 11:05, 5 minutes after the end of the air battle, Japanese Foreign Minister Na Ke Zhumo announced that South Korea bombed the Japanese territory "Takeshima", resulting in serious casualties among Japanese officers and soldiers, and Japan would take a swift and powerful counterattack!

Very fast and very powerful indeed.

At 12:01, before the second group of South Korean Air Force fighters arrived, a group of Japanese attack aircraft approached the South Korean fleet that was operating near Ulleungdo.

Judging from the time of arrival of the Japanese attack aircraft group, the attack was planned long ago, and it was not a "temporary decision."

Twenty-four F-2 and 24F-35AJ fighters were tasked with attacking missions, and 12 F-22 fighters were escorted.

The Japanese Air Force's strike actions were very methodical and routine.

Although the F-2 fighter should have been "phased out" a long time ago, it is still very good as an anti-ship missile delivery platform. The F-35J, which is on attack duty, is equipped with external anti-ship missiles, mainly because the internal bomb bay of the F35AJ cannot accommodate large-sized anti-ship missiles!

The South Korean Navy and Air Force, where the surprise attack occurred, simply did not have time to react.

Attack aircraft, a total of 96 A**-2C anti-ship missiles (A**-2 ultimate improved model, with a range of 240 km, a maximum speed of Mach 095, equipped with a semi-armor-piercing warhead weighing 185 kg, using active/passive radar and infrared phase composite guidance, with a hit rate of up to 95%) and an A** anti-ship missile (a heavy supersonic anti-ship missile finalized in 20199 with a mass of 1745 kg, a maximum range of 270 km, and a maximum speed of Mach 24, Equipped with a kilogram-to-ground warhead with active / ~ passive radar guidance). Two KDX-33-class air defense destroyers, KDX-2-class destroyers and frigates were hit.

I have to admit that Japan is indeed "ruthless".

4 anti-ship missiles are enough to tear apart the air defense network of the aircraft carrier battle group, and it is simply a knife to deal with the South Korean fleet without aircraft carriers.

Japan learned the lessons of the East China Sea War and learned how to fight the air force of the Republic.

The South Korean fleet suffered a catastrophe.

Before the air defense fighters arrived, all the 1C South Korean warships were hit by missiles, the 2KDX-33 destroyers that were hit by the key attack sank one after another within 15 hours, the 3~KDX-2 ships sank within 2 hours, the frigates were all blown to pieces, and only one KDX-22 days later barely returned to the port of Ulsan.

The Japanese Air Force paid for this with only one anti-ship missile and hundreds of tons of aviation fuel.

One attack and one defense, the gap between the military strength of South Korea and Japan is manifested.

Although the sudden attack had a tremendous impact on the combat operations of the ROK ** team, the performance of the ROK ** team, especially the ROK Air Force, after the start of the war was very disappointing. Instead of being the first to attack, the ROK Air Force should focus on protecting the naval fleet and avoiding the loss of its main combat force to retake Dokdo.

The tactics of the Japanese air force and navy were very orderly, and after attacking with defense instead of attacking, they quickly changed and killed the ROK fleet before the ROK Air Force sent the second batch of fighters, and successfully seized sea supremacy. Based on this, even if the war does not end immediately, South Korea loses the ability to retake Dokdo.

Of course, it was the "undeclared war" surprise attack that played a key role.

Just after 13 o'clock, the second landing force arrived at Dokdo by helicopter.

The amphibious combat fleet departing from Fukuoka arrives in the area of engagement, and as the assault team completes the repair work on the pier, the amphibious combat unit will smoothly land on Dokdo and consolidate the ground defenses.

At 13:25, the South Korean Air Force made a second sortie.

This time, the South Korean Air Force found the focus, and in addition to fighting for air supremacy with fighter jets, it also dispatched 36 F-16C/D aircraft to attack the Japanese amphibious combat fleet on its way to Dokdo, rather than the Japanese aircraft carrier battle group.

The problem was that the South Korean Air Force did not have the ability to wrest air supremacy from the Japanese.

Japan also anticipated the actions of the ROK Air Force, and at the same time used the 24F-22B to gain air supremacy, it dispatched the 12F-22 and 12F-35CJ to intercept the South Korean attack aircraft group.

There was not much suspense in the air battle, and the South Korean Air Force, lacking information support, was once again defeated.

By this time in the battle, South Korea had lost more than half of its F-35K, as well as a number of other fighters, and its combat capability had been reduced by nearly half!

Whether South Korea wants to admit it or not, the defeat is decided!

Compared to the East China Sea War 6 years ago, the Japanese army finally found a "feeling" on the battlefield.

At 4:30, the third group of landing troops took a helicopter, set off from an amphibious landing ship, and landed on Dokdo.

With the carrier battle group converging with the amphibious combat fleet in the waters near Dokdo, South Korea missed the opportunity to crush Japan's complete control of Dokdo.

Japan did not expand the scope of its strikes, and its combat operations were limited to Dokdo and the surrounding waters.

At 4 o'clock, Japanese Prime Minister Samada Murakami announced to the Prime Minister's Office that Japan had smashed the invasion of South Korea and successfully defended Xiudao!

Japan was suddenly boiling, and Murakami's prestige reached new heights in an instant.

By this time, the republic had not made any statements with the United States.

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
