National Policy Volume 800 Years of Grievances Chapter 58 Airiness-

Landing operations were carried out almost simultaneously with air strikes. [Full text reading]

Through the old war and the peninsular war. The combat capabilities of the Airborne Forces of the Republic are already well known. A lot of the time. Foreign news media even "Airborne Forces" on behalf of the Republic Army. In the eyes of foreign journalists. Those airborne troops who fell from the sky and were fearless in the face of the enemy's armored forces are the true portrayal of the modern army of the republic. And the armored corps of the Republic Army, on the contrary, is forgotten by many people.

The Art of War: Soldiers are noble and fast.

Compared to other combat units. The Airborne Forces can best embody the "noble and fast soldiers".

Calculated at the usual airborne combat distance of 500 meters. The air force can reach the target within 1 hour. It took 24 hours to deploy and complete the deployment of the array. Other combat units take days or even days to arrive. Because the operations of the Airborne Forces are often fast. Therefore, many countries refer to the Airborne Forces as "flying infantry".

Initially. The Republic's - Surrender is subordinate to the Air Force. It is an independent branch of the Air Force. The Airborne Forces were transferred to the Air Force. It has a lot to do with the way it fights. There are no transport aircraft of the Air Force. A soldier is simply an infantryman. The advantage will be lost. After the military reform - the transfer of troops to the army. It became an independent branch of the Army. Although judging by the way of the operation. The Airborne Forces are still mainly engaged in surface operations. Unlike other combat forces of the Air Force, which mainly focus on air strikes. But after the transfer to the Army. The issue of the Airborne Forces was also exposed. That is, there are no airlift forces directly subordinate to the Airborne Forces. For this. In 200, the Army proposed to expand the Army Aviation Corps and propose that transport aircraft be transferred to the Army Aviation Corps. In the end, because of the resolute opposition of the Air Force. The Army's proposal was not approved until it was approved. It is realistic for the Army to form an airlift capacity alone. It is also a serious waste of resources.

At the time of the second military reform. The General Staff Headquarters has made adjustments to the army's transport aircraft fleet. After the gradual formation of the joint command mechanism. The transport fleet of the Air Force Support Aviation is a two-track organization, which is usually managed and is under the responsibility of the Air Force. During combat operations, they are subject to the dispatch of the Airborne Forces. For this. The Army also takes a significant chunk of money out of the tight military budget. The Y-14Y-15 was jointly improved with the Air Force and an additional batch of transport aircraft was purchased. Strong aerial delivery capability.

| It is the epitome of the "linkage-wave mechanism".

Under the joint impetus of the Air Force and the Army. When war broke out. The size of the transport fleet has surpassed that of the US military. Become the world's most powerful airlift force in a total of 360 transport aircraft. Tactical transport aircraft accounted for three-two. Large strategic transport aircraft accounted for a third. If calculated according to the efficiency of air freight. The air transport capacity of the Republic Air Force is about 150 per cent that of the United States Air Force support aviation. The main reason is that the Y-14C and Y-15B use a 12-stage composite battery with a higher energy level and a propulsion motor with higher power, and the single-flight transportation capacity is significantly improved. After fully adopting the modular design and construction process. The maintenance volume of the single machine is reduced by 50% compared with the prototype machine. Take Y-14C, for example. Carrying 35 (the standard weight of 2 airborne squads) can fly 4500 meters in one way to throw troops away from 00 kilometers. The mission is 4 hours. The efficiency of the air transport is 130% higher than that of the C-74K of the US Air Force, and 160% more than the C-52% of the joint European development. A brigade of 24 Y-14s can airdrop the entire combat strength of 1 airborne battalion. If you are carrying out an airlift mission. A brigade of 24Y-14 is capable of transporting 50 tons of combat materials within 00 meters of the hour!

After the peninsula fights. The republic launched the second round of military reforms.

Any military reform is based on military theory. In the military reform initiated by Ji Youguo. The military theory pursued is "high-tech warfare." No one denies the significant impact that science and technology have had on modern warfare. But any science and technology influences warfare in some concrete form. In this case. When Zhao Rundong initiated the second round of military reform, the General Staff put forward the military theory of "air-to-air military force."

The core idea of this theory is that the degree of airborne determines the actual strike capability of the army.

In the eyes of ordinary people, "airborne" is to emphasize the position of the pillar of air strikes in warfare. Relatively. Air strikes are only the initial stage of "airborne". True "airborne" means that military power is based on air platforms - the ability to transport directly determines the ability of the army to invest. The theory of "airborne" has affected not only the Air Force, but also the Army and Navy.

3 years. The Air Force of the Republic has made almost no purchases of new warplanes, but has instead made great efforts to strengthen its airlift capabilities. Spend hundreds of billions to purchase and improve transport aircraft.

There is no doubt that the basis of the air "is not fighters with bombers." Rather, it is a transport aircraft.

Although air freight is often less efficient than sea and land transportation. But air freight is much faster than sea and land transport. In a high-intensity modern war. _, which is more decisive than efficiency in determining the outcome of a war. What's more. With the large-scale operation of all-electric conveyors, the cost problem of transportation has been effectively solved. Take the Y-15B, for example. The unit transportation cost (per ton per kilometer) is only 06 yuan. 90% lower than transport aircraft with turbine engines. Only five times the 2-| of land (rail) by sea.

Transported. The basis for "airborne" was set.

Because no all-electric conveyor has been developed. That's why the U.S. military has not fully implemented "airborne." Full implementation of "airborne". Determined - the position of the "main force" of the surrendered troops. As the first staff unit of the Army (special forces are directly subordinate to the General Staff. does not belong to the army establishment). All three airborne armies sent combat units at the first time.

5,15 points. The bombing campaign has just begun. The first Y-15B transport aircraft arrived at the Taoyuan Air Base.

The station guarding Taoyuan has received Guo Ming's order. No resistance was made. On its own initiative, the airborne forces of the republics were handed over to the defense of the air base. The 24Y-15B not only sent 2 integrated airborne battalions of the 153 Airborne Brigade. 2 charging devices were also delivered. Preparations were made for the arrival of transport planes.

In the next few hours. The Y-14 and Y-15B fleets continue to cross the strait.

to 2312 points. In addition to the 153 airborne battalions of the 3 airborne. There are also 3 combat battalions, 1 artillery battalion and 1 air defense battalion belonging to the 771 Brigade of the fast counter, which arrived in Taoyuan, after the combat materials arrived one after another. The 771 Brigade replaced the Taiwanese army that was fighting in the east. 23 on the evening of the march to Taipei.

Because Taoyuan is under the control of the Zhongmingtai army. So it is not very difficult to transport by air.

After the Airborne Forces took control of the peach air base. In order to reduce the pressure on the transport fleet. The Air Force mobilized civil airliners and commercial cargo planes to transport combat personnel and war materials in Taoyuan. Only heavy combat equipment and large equipment need to be transported by transport aircraft.

The operation of the transport and combat troops to the Taiwan International Airport was launched at the same time.

5,0 - less. The first batch of 12Y-15B transport aircraft arrived at the Northern International Airport. The 3 Airborne Battalion, which guarded the airfield, sent dozens of airborne combat vehicles with hundreds of tons of combat materiel. In addition, an additional 77th Air Defense Battalion of the 77th Army was dispatched to Taipei International Airport. to strengthen the air defense of airfields.

Before dawn. The second batch of 12Y-15B transport aircraft arrived at the North International Airport.

Unlike the first transport aircraft. This time, it was a set of heavy combat equipment equipped with one armored suit of the 541st Brigade. Until heavy tanks painted with the logo of the Republic ** appeared at various exits of the airfield, blocking the airfield. The Japanese spy who was lying in wait at Taipei International Airport suddenly woke up.

Although there is only 1 armored battalion and 3 airborne battalions. But the rebels posed no threat to it at all.

After dawn. The rebels entrenched in Taipei sent three battalions to attack the airfield. When the rebels rushing to the front were counterattacked by armored battalions, dozens of tanks were destroyed. The rebels lost the courage to continue the attack. Only defensive formations are deployed on the periphery of the airport. Prevent the Republican ** team from expanding its occupation.

In the first airborne operation. The airborne troops heading to Yilan arrived last.

Occupy Yilan. It's counted as an "extra task". If it weren't for the fact that the commander of the Yilan garrison was loyal to Guo Ming. Not only did he not participate in the military coup. He also openly declared that Li Xiangzhi was a "traitor". The Airborne Forces will not rush to Yilan either. In order to protect the patriotic officers and soldiers on the island to the greatest extent. Xiang Hui adjusted the battle plan at the last minute. The Airborne Forces were ordered to deploy a combat force to Yilan as quickly as possible. Stabilize the Yilan defenders.

Because the rebels did not focus on attacking Yilan. So only 2 airborne battalions were sent over.

The entire air freight work was completed a few days ago. The defenders of Yilan took the initiative to cooperate with the airborne troops of the Republic that arrived. And the necessary help was provided to the Airborne Forces.

Real airborne combat operations began after the bombing was over.

Preventing the Japanese army from landing on Taiwan in a big way was one goal. The swift defeat of the rebels served another purpose.

When choosing the purpose of the airborne. Xiang Huiding attacked Keelung first. The reason is simple. Keelung is not just outside of Taipei. It is also the main base of the Taiwan Navy. Capture Keelung at lightning speed. In addition to getting the Taiwanese navy, which participated in the military coup, to disarm and surrender. It also opens the gateway to Taipei. After all, air freight can't solve all problems. A large amount of heavy equipment needs to be transported by ship. Only to occupy Keelung. In order to transport the fleet to Taiwan smoothly.

6, too. The first batch of airborne troops successfully landed on the perimeter of Keelung airfield.

The rebels put up only limited resistance. Then actively shrink the line of defense. Around dawn. The second group of airborne troops arrived. After adjusting the deployment. The airborne department began to push towards the airfield.

The battle went very well. The rebels, suppressed from the air, posed little threat to the Airborne Forces.

Because the Air Force dispatched 12DY-14C electronic warfare aircraft. Suppressive electronic jamming was carried out on the entire island of Taiwan. Taiwanese associations working with the Military Intelligence Agency cut off communication lines on the island after the war began. So when the Airborne Forces stormed Keelung airfield. Li Xiangzhi, who commanded the rebels in battle, did not yet know what was going on.

War is unforgiving. The disadvantaged side can only be beaten passively.

In the first 3 hours after the start of the war. The Celestial Soldiers, Air Force and Army of the Republic of China have demonstrated their powerful strike capabilities and comprehensive combat capabilities.

And that's just the beginning!
