The construction of a large airport capable of supporting such a small thug as Yang, is not an easy task for the engineering troops of any army, and it can even be said that in the eyes of many people, it is completely impossible. 【】

It is not high-tech to lay runways with prefabricated parts and build the infrastructure required for field airfields with container equipment. In the Pacific War of World War II, the U.S. military used this method to establish field airfields in the battle for islands, so that combat aircraft with limited range could be deployed as far forward as possible; During the bombing of the Japanese mainland, the US military established a number of field airfields on Saipan and Liuhuang Island, which were not only used to support escort fighters, but also allowed strategic bombers returning home with injuries to land, thus increasing the bombing intensity.

The problem is that no army in history has built the Tasagittarius field airfield in six hours.

If he is not sure, Pei Chengyi will not let the engineers of the Airborne Forces carry out the tasks that cannot be completed. You must know that if the transport aircraft group cannot send more combat units to the front line as soon as possible, the battle for the attack on Siliguri will be affected, and the combat operations will also be implicated. As the commander-in-chief of the front line, Pei Chengyi has no reason to let the combat troops take risks, let alone risk his future.

In fact, as early as after the Beitu in southern Tibet, the army of the republic considered the construction of field airfields.

At that time, in order to seize the front-line airfield and allow transport planes to carry troops to land, the Airborne Thug Brigade had to risk attacking the air base, which was heavily guarded by the Indian army. It can be said that in the entire conflict in southern Tibet, the airborne troops suffered the heaviest losses in the attack on the Indian air base. Casualties are not the main problem, there are certainly casualties in war, and the resulting risks are too much for the Army to bear. In other words, if the Airborne Forces do not successfully seize the Indian Air Base, the combat operation behind it will not be able to be carried out, and the entire combat operation will not be successful.

It was not possible to seize the enemy's air base, only to manage to create a field airfield.

In the year of the sword, the prefabricated project of the army field airfield was publicly expanded. After two rounds of competition, a private enterprise named "Chuanhong Industry" finally won the contract with a total value of 100 million yuan. What makes people feel incredible is that "Hong Industry is not well-known in the field of arms production, and has never even participated in arms production, but is only a medium-sized private enterprise that manufactures construction equipment and building materials." Chuanhong Industry was able to win the bid, not by going through the back door, nor by how many kickbacks it gave to the army, but by the design plan it submitted to best meet the needs of the army.

Because there are also arms giants such as Zhongzhong Group participating in the bidding, after the Ministry of National Defense announced that Chuanhong Industrial had won the bid, three competing enterprises including Zhongzhong Group expressed dissatisfaction and asked for a new bidding. The matter also went to the plenary session, and the Ministry of Defense had to bid again at the end of the year. In the end, the contract was still won by Chuanhong Industry, and the contract amount increased to the old 100 million, and B was used for design and development of the new 600 million, and B was entrusted by Chuanhong Industry to expand the production scale.

The design scheme of Chuanhong Industry is not complicated, and it mainly uses the most popular architectural design technology.

The most important prefabricated runway parts in field airfields are manufactured according to the same interface standards, and the main composition is similar to that of tires made of wear-resistant materials, but the characteristics of military aircraft have been improved, and each section of standard cargo boxes with long blades and wide beating meters is transported by aircraft.

After arriving at the front line, the engineers only need to open the cargo box and lay the runway prefabricated parts on the ground very conveniently. In order to speed up the laying degree, "Hong Industry also opened a special filling material. Before laying the runway, the engineer does not need to strictly level the ground surface, but only needs to be rolled by a large roller after a simple leveling, and then use a filling material that can quickly solidify after encountering air for the initial laying, and then the prefabricated runway with a certain elasticity can be laid on the viscous filling material. According to the tests done by the army after acceptance, Ming engineering personnel were able to lay a section of the old meter-long runway in the old minutes. Because the two processes can be carried out at the same time, when there are enough officers and soldiers of about 2 engineering battalions, the thugs are laid. What's more, the runway prefabricated parts can be recycled and reused. Because there are a large number of openings with a diameter of less than one meter on the runway prefabricated parts, the original intention of the design openings is to reduce the quality of the runway prefabricated parts, and make them not seriously deformed at different temperatures, so when the runway is removed, it is only necessary to pour a special solvent opened by Chuanhong Industry into the opening, and the runway prefabricated parts can be removed from the filling material. Less ideally, the filler material is a single-use material and cannot be recycled.

In addition to the runway, the field airfield also needs a large number of supporting facilities. The solution proposed by Chuanhong Industry is not much different from that of other companies, that is, all airport facilities are designed according to the standard of containers, and are directly spliced and molded when used, or formulated separately. The difference is that Chuanhong Industry does not configure power for each module, but separately configures the hauling module, that is, a trailer with walking ability, thus saving costs.

As far as the army is concerned, buying a field airfield with 100 million yuan is certainly a very good deal.

Chuanhong Industry was able to beat many powerful opponents in the bidding, in addition to its unique design on the runway prefabrication, which has the greatest relationship with cost control. At that time, the price of Zhongzhongji in Youzhen was 100 million. Several other large arms groups have submitted bids of more than 100 million yuan. Even if the additional investment of 600 million yuan is counted, the bidding price of Chuanhong Industrial is only the old 100 million yuan.

Obviously, there is no reason for the Army to spend more money on worse equipment.

At the beginning of the year, after the delivery of the "macro industry, the army immediately made prefabricated components for the field airfield. Conduct imitation combat tests. The results were very satisfying to the Army, and the officers and men of the two engineering battalions completed the task of building the field airfield in only six hours under the condition of imitating sporadic attacks. It is precisely in this way that the army signed a second order worth 100 million yuan with Chuanhong Industrial, and ordered 2 more sets. It's just that the delivery time was set at the end of the phenol year, so when the war broke out, the army only had prefabricated components for glove field airfields.

It was also based on the results of this test that Pei Chengyi determined the interval between air shipments of 6 hours.

According to 6 said, small caress machine group. Under the circumstances, if the "Woo Aircraft Group" had been used, the support aviation would certainly have had an impact on the air strike operations by seizing the limited resources of the front-line airfields with the tactical aviation; If the Cong Shao aircraft group is used, it will have an impact on combat operations in one direction outside the service, and thus on the entire combat operation.

The rational use of combat forces is a profound knowledge that front-line commanders must master.

Of course, the actual recommendation situation is much better than Pei Chengyi's pre-cake.

Because the shelling and bombardment were too intense, the Indian army near Siliguri did not attack the airfield and did not pose a threat to the field airfield being built. In the absence of threats, the 2 engineering battalions were set up in just an hour.

Completing the build-up work in advance means that more combat forces can be sent to the front.

The sortie was not carried out by transport aircraft supporting aviation, but by vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft of army aviation.

Although the Hui can transport combat troops to any open ground with an area of more than 10,000 square meters in the form of vertical landing, the maximum load capacity of more than 2 zhang cannot exceed 10,000 tons when it is vertically landed, and the combat radius of the full load cannot exceed 10,000 kilometers, mainly because it completely relies on the propulsion system during vertical take-off and landing, and the frenzied power of the propulsion system far exceeds the normal flight state. If the normal mode is adopted, that is, the glide mode of take-off and landing, the air transport capacity of the dish can reach that of Wang Stew, and the combat radius when fully loaded can be extended to about 1,000 kilometers. It doesn't make much sense to extend the combat radius a little, because the base where the First Fighter Witch Air Transport Brigade is stationed is less than a kilometer away from Siliguri. The impact of increasing the transportation volume of the point is not obvious, because when laying the prefabricated runway, in order to ensure the safety of the engineering personnel and the safety of the transport aircraft, the dish 2 zhang cannot enter the site and land. The key is that "the runway is strong and long, enough for infantry, or tons of combat materials, or any equivalent combat force."

This transport operation was crucial to the attack on Siliguri.

The same is true for Lee Dong-seok.

Since. 2 Fall can fly again, why not "borrow" a few combat units from the air rush back brigade?

In the evening, Li Dongshi contacted the army commander Shang Xueyun and asked for the secondment of combat troops from the air rush back brigade. Shang Xueyun did not disappoint this most courageous old subordinate, and immediately ordered the airborne return brigade to throw a ground combat battalion and an artillery battalion to the Siliguri airborne field, under the direct command of Li Dongshi.

Shang Xueyun's idea was also very simple, instead of letting the combat units of other armies attack Siliguri, it was better to concentrate the forces of the airborne occupation army to attack. Aren't there a lot of doubts about the offensive power of the Airborne Forces in the plains? Then let the Airborne Forces, which have only airborne combat vehicles, take the lead in the offensive, and let those who doubt it see the offensive capabilities of the Airborne Forces.

Of course, this was by no means good news for Ling Yunxiao, because the second group to arrive in Siliguri was the anti-brigade of the Sword Army. During the Japanese war attack on Ryukyu Island, the airborne troops seized the limelight of the rapid reaction forces, not only going to the island first, but also destroying the Japanese army along the way, causing the rapid reaction forces, which should be the main offensive force, to lose face. If he loses to the Airborne Forces again, Ling Yunxiao will have a hard time in the future.

In order to ensure that the fast anti-taming brigade can take the transport plane to the front line as soon as possible, Ling Yunxiao has been guarding the air base.

Knowing that the field airfield in Siliguri would be completed ahead of schedule, Ling Yunxiao felt that something was not quite right.

After finding the airport commander and asking for the transport group to leave early, Ling Yunxiao was dusty, because the returning little thugs were overhauling according to the prescribed procedures and could not get out before the old point of the blade.

In desperation, Ling Yunxiao could only contact the front-line command to prepare to "complain" to Pei Chengyi

His luck was indeed not good, Pei Chengyi was not in the front-line headquarters, and it was Yuan Chenhao who answered the phone. Although Yuan Chenhao was the deputy commander-in-chief of the front, the battle plan was determined by the commander-in-chief, and he had no power to adjust combat operations, so he had no power to prevent Shang Xueyun from sending reinforcements to the front.

When Ling Yunxiao was in a hurry, Pei Chengdi clumsily stroked the chief of the Pakistani General Staff on a video call. The Republic has sent troops, and India and Pakistan cannot stand by.

According to Wang Yuanqing's war plan, he launched a ground offensive in Kashmir to contain the ground forces in northwest India.

Although Wang Yuanqing did not expect Pakistan to make much contribution to the war, because Pakistan did not want India to be completely defeated, and did not even want to unify Kashmir for this reason, Pei Chengyi, as the commander-in-chief of the front, could not ignore the combat operations of the Pakistani army.

After chatting with the chief of the Pakistani General Staff for a while, Pei Chengyi felt the resistance of the Pakistani army to this war.

Because most of Pakistan's high-ranking generals have studied in the Republic, they are very familiar with the meaning of "Flying Birds, Good Bows and Hidden Bows", and the key reason why Kistan can become the number one ally of the Republic is not how strong Pakistan is, but that Pakistan and the Republic have common enemies. The basis of the national alliance is only two pounds, and there are either common interests or common enemies. Relatively

The latter is more pronounced than the former. Pakistan does not have much in common with the Republic other than its close economic ties. Because Pakistan does not have an irreplaceable position in the economic system with the republic at its core, the economic relationship between Pakistan and the republic can hardly be the basis of the alliance. In this way, the common enemy became the cornerstone of the alliance between the two countries. When the common enemy disappears, that is, when the alliance collapses.

For the republic, it doesn't matter whether Pakistan is an ally or not, as long as India no longer poses a threat. For Pakistan, even if India disappears from the face of the earth, it cannot lose the republic as an ally. The reason is simple, the dependence of the Pakistani economy on the trade of the republic is too gills. It means that among the Pakistanis, there are more than 100 million thugs who have economic ties with the Republic.

Pakistan's concerns are not groundless, and after the conflict in southern Tibet, public opinion in the Republic of China has changed.

As more and more citizens of the Republic believe that the strategic balance in South Asia should be restored, rather than blindly supporting Pakistan and suppressing India, Pakistan has quietly adjusted its national strategy. In the past, Pakistan has often created conflicts in Kashmir and even secretly supported armed groups against India in order to create tensions in South Asia and draw the attention of the Republic to threats in South Asia. After the year of imprisonment, Pakistan has rarely created conflict in Kashmir and has stopped supporting armed groups against India, but India has become more proactive. It can be seen from this that Pakistan knows very well what the next war will be and what the outcome will be, and it is also very aware of what will happen after India's complete defeat.

Although Wang Yuanqing, Gu Weimin and other leaders of the Republic have repeatedly assured Pakistan that the relationship between the Republic and Pakistan is unbreakable regardless of whether India threatens or not, and that the first country that Yan Jingyu visited after becoming Prime Minister is Pakistan, and expressed to the Pakistani Prime Minister in Islamabad that the Republic will continue to attach importance to the traditional friendship between China and Pakistan, but these statements have not changed Pakistan's basic strategy, because neither Wang Yuanqing nor Yan Jingyu can guarantee that in the old year or after the Year of Force, The republic still regards Pakistan as a hardcore ally.

As a country that has been fighting for survival since independence, Pakistan will not believe any sweet words.

At the beginning, Pakistan defected to the Republic precisely because the Western countries, led by the United States, betrayed Pakistan for the sake of their own interests. Although the friendship between the Republic and Pakistan has lasted for more than half a century, for Pakistanis, practical guarantees are the basis for safeguarding national interests.

Of course, Pakistan is not treacherous.

At the end of the day, the republic remains Pakistan's number one ally, and an ally that Pakistan cannot offend. With the entry of the Republic Army into India, the Republic has shown its cards. The question now is not how India will be defeated, but whether Pakistan will be able to help the republic in the war. Even if the republic no longer needs Pakistan to contain India after the war, Pakistan cannot part ways with the republic during the war.

That is, Pakistan has no choice.

In order to safeguard Pakistan's national interests to the greatest extent, the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army made it clear that after the Pakistani army launches an offensive in Kashmir, the Republic should send ground troops into Kashmir as soon as possible to support the Pakistani army. Pei Chengyi did not give guarantees, only promised that in the fighting in Kashmir, the republic could provide air support. Of course, Pei Chengyi did not forget the most important words, that is, to imply to the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army that as long as the Pakistani army occupies the Indian-controlled area of Kashmir, the republic will use the Kashmir region to attack the northwest region of India.

This hint is very important because it shows that the war will not stop on the Kashmir border.

After Pei Chengyi expressed his attitude, the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army had no other choice but to agree to the Pakistani army to launch a ground offensive before 2 o'clock in the morning of the fighting day in August, Beijing time.

After getting the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army, Pei Chengyi left the office and went to the tactical command center.

Although the chief of the general staff of the Pakistani army has promised to act according to the war plan that has been determined long ago, Pei Chengyi has a premonition that the progress will not be too smooth, at least the Pakistani army will not attack desperately.

If the battle in Kashmir does not go well, the whole situation will be affected.
