Chapter 57 of the National Policy Volume 800 Years of Grievances really begins

The end of the war begins. Other combat units have just been dispatched one after another.

As early as 1:30 a.m. #039; Around. The Air Force of the Republic was brought to the highest state of combat readiness. Hundreds of combat planes of more than 10 air wings have been put into the air one after another.

For the Air Force. For example, the use of limited forces to become the first round of strike missions. become a key factor in determining the course of the operation.

When deploying combat missions. The biggest problem with Zhang Zhongxian is not the shortage of troops. Rather, the Air Force needs to redistribute combat forces before the start of operations.

Although it has long been known that the Führer will go to war against India. The target of the Air Force is not India. It's Taiwan and Japan. But in order to complete the strategic scam work. The Air Force must assume a posture of striking India before the war begins. Convince the whole world that the Republic is about to send troops to reclaim the regions of South Asia.

When making a battle plan|. Zhang Zhongxian's troubles can be imagined.

Until the night of the 22nd. #039; #039; The main forces of the army are deployed in the southwestern and northwestern districts of the Republic. According to the CIA's report to the Pentagon and the White House. In order to launch an operation to regain the region of southern Tibet. In the south-west and north-western districts, the Republic has assembled about two-thirds of its technical aviation, two-thirds of its support aviation, and about half of its combat aviation. In total, more than 10 tactical combat aircraft, more than 7 support aircraft, and more than 10 bombing aircraft were deployed. Based on this information. The United States has made a prediction that the Republic Air Force will be able to defeat the Indian Air Force and destroy the Indian military system within 24 hours.

Indeed it is. Now the question is. Efforts must be transferred.

Deployed in Southwest District #039; It's okay to say that the Zhongzuo troops. From Sichuan and Yunnan to Fujian and Zhejiang. The transition flight distance is only 15,000 meters. All tactical combat aircraft are capable of transitioning without fuel. Or strike at Taiwan's military targets in the case of a refueling, and return to the air bases in Fujian and Zhejiang after completing the combat mission. The key question is: The main forces of the Air Force are not in the Southwest. It's in the northwest district.

For the purpose of Darlo's deception, the Air Force can only fake it. If the republic goes to war with India. The first thing to decide is not how to recover the region in southern Tibet. It's about how to stabilize Pakistan. Let Pakistan's offensive operations in Kashmir go smoothly. Only Pakistan held its ground. Only by containing the main force of the Indian army in Kashmir can the Republican Army launch an offensive against the southern Tibetan region. In the absence of a surface combat unit sent to the Kmir. Only the Air Force can take on the heavy responsibility of supporting Pakistan in the war. As it comes. The Air Force must deploy its main combat forces in the northwestern sector.

Don't say anything else. The tactical aviation near Yecheng alone has 4 more wings.

Before the start of the war. About half of the Air Force's combat aviation and half of its support aviation are deployed in the northwestern sector. The transfer of these aviation units to the southern sector is equivalent to spanning the entire republic. The nearest transition flight distance is more than 350 kilometers, and the average transition flight distance is about 0 meters. Even when the J14 bucket machine is carrying 4 fuel tanks. It can only fly 40 kilometers long, while the J15 fighter can only fly 300 kilometers. What's more. The transfer of aviation is not just about transferring combat aircraft. To transfer supporting facilities.

If in the usual days. The Air Force's facilities can be transported by transport aircraft.

Back in 015, the Air Force of the Republic achieved "airborne". All necessary logistical support is deployed on motor vehicles. Can be transported by air by tactical transport aircraft. Even for large devices. It can also be transported by air by large transport. Other words. The Air Force's aircraft deployment can be carried out entirely by relying on transport aircraft.

Now the question is. Transport planes have been drawn to support the Airborne Forces.

In accordance with the General Staff's operational plan. Except for Y14C and 12Y15B. All transport aircraft were sent to transport the Airborne Forces.

When making a battle plan. Zhang Zhongxian did not solve this problem first.

The solution is not nothing. It's just that it's very difficult, that is, through "staggered support". Combat forces are supported by logistical support units deployed in the southeastern districts.

It looks like it's just a change of issue. Actually, it's not that simple!

The Air Force's support work adopts the "special person responsibility system." That is, each logistical support personnel is permanently responsible for the combat aircraft they support. Anything went wrong. It's all up to them. Taking J14 bucket machine as an example, 1J14 bucket machine has 2 mechanics and 4 mechanics responsible for protecting the engine and fuselage, and 1 electronics engineer is responsible for the electronic equipment of the fighter. 1 electrician is responsible for the electrical equipment of the fighter; 1 fighter squadron has 1 armorer, 24 ordnance divisions, armorers are responsible for the squadron's ammunition management, 2 armorers are responsible for the ammunition supply of 1 fighter; During routine maintenance. All kinds of support personnel after completing the maintenance work. Keep a maintenance log. Save the maintenance window of the fighter. It is then handed over to the security staff of the airport; If the next day you find that the storage has been moved. Security personnel are responsible for doing so. The security officer does not assume any responsibility; And so it goes. All security work is individualized.

In this case. If the whole support force. There will be a lot of trouble.

Don't say anything else. Guarantor

Ken provides maintenance services for combat aircraft of other units. As long as getting out of the plane is a trifle. There were pilot casualties. No one can afford to take this responsibility.

In order to coordinate this work. Chung-heon personally deployed the mission to the front-line troops.

Ultimately. Support personnel are still using the men and horses of the various units. Just borrow support equipment from other troops. For this. The Air Force does not fail to activate the "war plan." Dozens of civil airliners were requisitioned from major domestic airlines. And each airliner is equipped with 1 navigator of the Air Force.

With the power of air transport. The question is not fully solved.

In accordance with the operational plan drawn up by the General Staff. Combat aircraft participating in the first round of bombing operations will be on 2 at 1:30 a.m. #039; Take off afterwards. After completing the mission, return to the southeast of the district of the Air Base. The attendants will work to 1,30 #039;. Air freight work can only start after 1:30 a.m. Because the first round of bombing will end before dawn. The first combat pilots will return to the Air Force base at about 6 a.m. Therefore the crew had to arrive before the air base of the southeast district. Complete the quasi-work of maintenance and support.

The whole air freight time is only 4 hours. And the civil airliner flies |00 meters. It takes at least 4 hours!

Not a minute is wasted.

Thankfully. The major airlines of the Republic are cooperating with each other. Not only did it send the fastest civil airliner. A large number of pilots who had served in the Air Force were also deployed to carry out transport missions. Zhang Zhongxian also made active preparations. Not only was #039 assigned to each aircraft; The army navigator also ordered the commander of the support aviation unit to take full responsibility for the support mission.

For the fighters who carry out the strike mission. None of these problems exist.

1:30 a.m. #039;. Hundreds of fighter jets deployed in the north-west and south-west sectors took off one after another. Except for a few patrol missions near the Sino-Indian border. The vast majority of the fighters flew to the south-eastern zone with bombs on board. When you reach the sky over the district in the central part of the mainland of the Republic. The fighters carried out the first in-flight refueling in batches.

In order to ensure that the fighter can be successfully converted into combat duty, the Air Force dispatched all tankers. The first round of in-flight refueling. The 10JY15B refueling frame fighter provides thousands of tons of aviation fuel, which is enough to ensure that the fighter completes its combat duties. Subsequently. These tankers also went to the air base of the central district of the Republic. Refuel the tank. Fly to the south-eastern district of the Republic. Provide a second in-flight refueling for returning fighters and support for fighters on a second round of combat missions.

The work schedule of the tanker is very tight. There is hardly any idleness.

This is where the advantages of all-electric transport come into play. If it is a transport aircraft with an ordinary engine. After completing the first refueling mission. Maintenance must be carried out for up to several hours. Electric motors require much less maintenance than turbine engines. And the charging speed is also much faster than the refueling speed. After the tanker landed. It only takes 30 minutes to get ready for takeoff. It saves 1 and a half hours compared to ordinary transport aircraft. During the Peninsular War. The Y14Y15 conveyor uses a high-intensity attendance frequency to understand the superiority of the all-electric conveyor.

Relatively. In addition to transport aircraft and tankers. The intensity of the tasks of supporting aviation is not great.

In order to cooperate with the strike operations of tactical aviation and strategic aviation. Support aviation sorties were dispatched KJ22C12KZ1B split into two batches with 12DY14C. Cooperate with the troops in turn to carry out combat missions. The KJ22C is capable of flying 7 km. patrol over the theater of operations for up to hours; The KZ1B is capable of patrolling for up to 4 hours in the same conditions. The DY14C, on the other hand, requires one over-the-air charge. in order to patrol the sky over the war zone for 4 hours. Because the Air Force procured 12 "air chargers" (improved on the basis of the Y15) before the outbreak of the war. It can provide power from 2 all-electric aircraft in the air at the same time, and the fast charging time is 15 minutes, so it has enough capacity to provide protection for all-electric aircraft such as DY14C.

Undoubtedly. The Air Force faces an unprecedentedly difficult test.

In Zhang Zhong's words, the Air Force must prove its powerful strike capability with actions. Proof that the huge investment of the state has not been in vain.

Just after 5 o'clock. Hundreds of combat aircraft over the south-eastern part of the Republic turned into battle. Because the main target of the attack is the air force base of the northern region of Taiwan. The main purpose is to destroy the flight runway. Aircraft carry stand-off munitions with a range of more than 150 meters. So there is no need to cross the median line of the strait. The strike mission can be completed in the airspace over the western side of the strait and even the southeastern part of the mainland.

Only some fighters that perform important strike missions launch attacks in the form of ultra-low-altitude penetration.

5,15 points. The first missile landed on the runway of the Keelung Air Base.

In the next 10 minutes. More than 0 air force airfields, including field airfields, in the northern part of Taiwan were bombed with high intensity.

A lot of people think. The "war in the Taiwan Strait" began in earnest at this time.
