At the end of the battle meeting, Zhu Ronghui returned to the aviation operations center and called the captain of a brigade over. [Full text reading]

"The combat operation is ahead of schedule, and we have two main tasks, one is to annihilate the South Korean fleet, and the other is to seize air supremacy." Zhu Ronghui personally explained the combat operations. "According to the information that has been obtained, the South Korean fleet has three air defense destroyers, six multipurpose destroyers and four frigates. Since Jeju has a regional patrol fleet, we also have to consider taking out a few more small frigates and patrol boats. The airborne operation will begin after dawn, and the air defense destroyers in the South Korean fleet are equipped with long-range anti-aircraft missiles with a range of more than 200 kilometers, and we must annihilate the South Korean fleet before the transport fleet arrives to ensure the successful completion of the airborne operation. Air supremacy is equally important, and the South Korean Air Force has already sent dozens of fighter jets to Gwangju, posing a huge threat to the air corridor, and we must keep South Korean fighter jets north of the Jeju Strait. ”

"We're the only wing?" Colonel Xiong Qingping of the first team asked.

"It's just us." Zhu Ronghui replied very simply, "The first brigade mainly has two tasks, one is to escort the attack aircraft group, and the other is to seize air supremacy. The support mission was carried out by a HJ2000B, which I commanded in the operations center. Because of the heavy task, it is possible to consider carrying external ammunition. ”

"In-flight refueling is a must." Xiong Qingping added.

Zhu Ronghui nodded and said, "The three squadrons of the first brigade were put into battle in three batches, and the rendezvous point with the tanker aircraft was still in the airspace. Whether to carry out in-flight refueling and whether it is necessary to perform other tasks is determined by the actual combat situation. Only one thing is certain, pilots are prepared to fly for hours on end. ”

Xiong Qingping smiled, indicating that he understood what the co-captain meant.

"The second and third brigades are responsible for sea control operations." Yang Jinjie replaced Zhu Ronghui to deploy combat missions, "Because the aircraft carrier can only dispatch 36 fighters at a time, 12 fighters from the second group are dispatched to carry out round strike operations with the three groups, each fighter carries four anti-ship missiles and two anti-radiation missiles, and adopts the tactics of the autumn exercise of '23, first using anti-radiation missiles and then using anti-ship missiles." The other 12 fighters of the 2nd Squadron were on standby on the aircraft carrier, and the results of the round attack were used to determine whether a second round of attack was necessary. Because the 1st Squadron is likely to encounter a full-scale challenge from the ROK Air Force, the standby fighters of the 2nd Squadron are likely to perform air supremacy missions. ”

"That is, ammunition cannot be mounted in advance?" Colonel Yinkang, the commander of the second brigade, asked.

"There is no need to mount ammunition in advance." Zhu Ronghui replied, "The service personnel will make preparations, and they will be able to complete the preparations for take-off within 15 minutes after receiving the order." ”

Shuai Yinkang nodded. Didn't ask anything more.

"The target of the attack is limited to the South Korean fleet?" The three teams of Diyue Tongsheng spoke.

"For the time being, it is limited to the South Korean fleet. If the task is successfully completed. Ground support missions will also be carried out during the day. ”

Yue Tongsheng smiled. said, "I mean." Against the South Korean fleet. Three teams are enough. The second team can be allowed to carry out other missions. ”

Zhu Ronghui smiled and shook his head. knew that Yue Tongsheng wanted to swallow the results of the battle alone.

Team 1. The two attack aircraft groups had their own focus. The second brigade is better at performing ground attack missions. The three major teams are more adept at sea attack missions. The South Korean fleet has only 3 destroyers in the strength of not a strong air defense. In accordance with the tactics of the autumn 23 exercises. 24 fighters are enough for strike missions. Zhu Ronghui arranged 12 more fighters. It's not that I'm worried that the three major teams won't be able to complete the mission. Rather, they did not want to strike a second blow.

After the start of airborne combat operations, the tasks of the aircraft carrier battle group will be extremely onerous.

If you draw forces to replenish your attack, it means that the forces used for ground support will be similarly weakened.

At the fleet operations meeting, Zhang Weichang particularly emphasized the importance of 12 hours before airborne operations. Whether or not the airborne forces can successfully accomplish their tasks depends to a great extent on the performance of the fleet.

"There are naturally reasons for strengthening the striking force." Yang Jinjie was much harsher with his subordinates, "It has already been said earlier that the South Korean fleet has long-range anti-aircraft missiles, and transport aircraft carrying airborne troops will pass within its interception range.

If a transport plane were shot down by a South Korean battleship ground-launched missile, hundreds of airborne troops would have been killed. We must not take combat operations as a child's play, let alone be arrogant! ”

Yue Tongsheng glanced at the deputy captain and didn't say anything more.

"Lao Zhu," Xiong Qingping said after a pause, "Should we consider bombing the South Korean military airfield?" ”

"You mean the South Korean Air Force base in Gwangju?"

Xiong Qingping nodded and said, "Even if you add the twelve fighters of the second group, there are only thirty-six fighters in total who perform air supremacy missions. In order to ensure air supremacy, it was necessary to make sorties in three batches, and no more than twelve fighters would be put into service at a time. In this case, it is difficult to be sure. Offense is the best defense, and destroying the South Korean air base can greatly relieve the pressure on air supremacy! ”

"This is the task of the Air Force and the Navy's shore-based aviation." Yang Jinjie glanced at Xiong Qingping and said, "The airborne operation is in charge of the air force, so the air force will bomb the air base south of the 38th parallel before dawn." We only have to think about our own tasks, ensuring the safety of the air corridor. ”

"Any other questions?" Zhu Ronghui threw at the 3 captains

gaze.

"There are no other problems, and this is the end of the combat meeting. It is still the old rule to get a good night's sleep, and a pre-war meeting of the whole people is held forty-five minutes before the start of the operation. ”

After the 3rd captain left, Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie chatted for a while, and went back to sleep.

Thousands of miles away, the officers and men of the 152 Airborne Ground are making preliminary preparations.

For Brigadier General Shang Xueyun, commander of the 152nd Airborne Brigade, the slowest days of his life could be regarded as the slowest days of his life after the outbreak of the Korean Peninsula War.

Among the three airborne brigades of the Republic Army, the position of the 152nd Airborne Brigade is the most awkward.

During the Lao War, the 152 Airborne Brigade was supposed to be on the field, and when the combat mission was arranged, the army commander sent the 153 Airborne Brigade to the front and let the 152 Airborne Brigade serve as a reserve. As a result, this "reserve" was a reserve for several years, and until the war on the peninsula, the airborne 152 was still a reserve.

For professional soldiers, there is nothing more painful than watching other soldiers make contributions on the front line, while they can only watch the excitement and shout dryly from the rear.

At some point, Shang Xueyun even hoped that other airborne brigades would mess up the mission and create opportunities for the 152nd Airborne Brigade to play.

Shang Xueyun is not afraid of sacrifice, he just feels that living a life is more painful than dying on the battlefield.

It was not until the night of the 5th that the combat order was issued from above, allowing the airborne 152 to enter a combat state and prepare for the flight at any time.

At the beginning, Shang Xueyun didn't have much "interest" and thought that it was another "preparative" mission.

It wasn't until the staff officer sent by the General Staff Headquarters arrived at the brigade headquarters that Shang Xueyun knew that this time it was not a "formality", but a "real gun".

Without a minute of delay, Shang Xueyun personally issued a battle order to the battalion commanders.

More than 152 officers and men parachuted into the ground to complete their combat preparations as quickly as possible, and all of them were put on combat standby and ready to board at any time.

On the night of the 6th, the General Staff issued a second combat order, requiring the 152 Airborne Brigade to enter a "state of readiness for battle".

The so-called "state of readiness" means that the troops have completed all combat preparations and board the aircraft within 15 minutes after receiving the order. Because the physical fitness of officers and men is limited, it is impossible to be in a state of combat readiness all the time, so within six hours, they will either be released from the "state of readiness for battle" or board the plane.

Without asking, the General Staff does not joke about the war.

It's time to go to war!

In the early morning of the 7th, the last operational order was delivered to the brigade headquarters, and the 152nd Airborne Brigade, as the first batch of "landing troops", took the lead in parachuting into Jeju Island to occupy important military targets, including Jeju airport, port, and the rear positions of the Hanlin Korean army's defense line, opening the door for the marines to land on Jeju Island.

Shang Xueyun was a little excited and a little nervous.

After asking the staff officers of the brigade headquarters to give combat orders to the battalions, Shang Xueyun first inspected the three airborne battalions stationed at the airfield where the brigade headquarters was located, and then took a helicopter to the other two air bases to inspect other airborne troops.

Because the support artillery battalion was "seconded" to the 153 Airborne Brigade in the first campaign, the scale of the Airborne 152 Brigade was slightly smaller than that of the Airborne 153 Brigade in the first campaign, with only 6 infantry battalions, 1 logistics battalion, 1 light artillery battalion, 1 independent reconnaissance company, 1 communications company and 2 air defense companies, with a total strength of about 1 man.

Shang Xueyun did not feel the pressure, because the enemy faced by the Airborne 152 was much weaker than the American Marines faced by the Airborne 153 Brigade in Wulao. The South Korean army stationed on Jeju Island had only 3 infantry divisions with a total strength of less than 50,000 troops, not much heavy armor, not even much artillery. The 152 Airborne Brigade's infantry battalion has more than 200 airborne combat vehicles, and the light artillery battalion has many self-propelled mortars and more than 20 light anti-tank guns, which is enough to crush any infantry unit without heavy armor in ground combat.

When arranging combat missions for each battalion, Shang Xueyun emphasized the importance of attacking.

Although the Airborne Forces are naturally good at defensive, in the face of a weak enemy, the Airborne Forces are definitely ground troops who are good at attacking.

At 3:30 a.m. on the 7th, the first batch of officers and men from the battalion boarded the plane one after another.

Before the airborne transport planes took off, more than 300 fighters of the Air Force and the Naval Air Force took off from the 8th Air Base to bomb the South Korean Air Force base south of the 38th parallel.

Because the army was preparing for the third campaign, no one realized that the Republic was going to send airborne troops to attack Jeju Island.

At this time, the waters of the Yellow Sea.

In addition to the 1C2 team, which is responsible for striking the ROK fleet and seizing air supremacy, the other two wings will each send more than 30 fighters to carry out the final round of high-intensity bombardment of the ROK troops near the airborne landing site before the airborne troops land.

The battle begins, and the first Republican is about to set foot on the ground of Jeju Island!
