Chapter 12 Land War Begins to Ask for Support)
Chapter 12: Land War begins (additional updates, please support)
"Shun Abe, do you still remember what happened a dozen years ago?"
"What a dozen years ago, I was still in school at that time."
A Japanese soldier named Toshi Abe answered his companion's question. He was controlling the only large air defense radar of the Japanese army on the Daheishan Islands. He started to rotate at six o'clock and was checking various records left by night shift personnel. Under good sea conditions, a radar that can provide a 50-nautical miles of early warning is a treasure.
, but in bad sea conditions, it is just the opposite. Of course, regardless of whether the sea conditions are good or bad, this machine always has problems. As if the radar has at least one or three failures in a day, that is, there are thirteen false alarms in ten days. It appeared once last night, and today there must be only 0:00 three times during the day. It seems that I will not be scared to sweat today. Abe Shun comforted himself.
"I mean November 12, 1929, remember? That day China officially declared war on the Great Japanese Empire and they wanted to take back Taiwan."
"I know this, what's wrong?"
After checking the radar, Abe Shun sat down after confirming that there was no problem and looked at Haru Nishida beside him. It was difficult to have fun on the isolated island, and occasionally chatting between his comrades is an inexplicable happiness.
"Do you know that not long after China declared war, China's bombing came. At that time, our imperial army officers and soldiers were having breakfast, and bombs fell from the sky..." Nishida Chun seemed to have returned to fourteen years ago, feeling the overwhelming bombs that bombed the brave imperial army warriors. After a long period of reverie, he came back to his senses and said, "The officials always say that the imperial army will defeat China one day, but why do I feel that the Chinese people have always been ahead of us?"
"Is China powerful or our great Japanese Empire powerful? I don't know this, but what I know is that in that war, the Sendai Division, Nagoya Division, and Hiroshima Division were almost all broken. If His Majesty hadn't been merciful, these three divisions would have never been rebuilt."
"Shh" Haru Nishida stared at Abe Shun fiercely, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense in the future. The captain's father was broken for His Majesty the Emperor in that war. Don't mention the whole thing. That is the shame of the imperial army, a great shame."
Why is the captain of Abe Tsubasa sensitive? Because he always regarded his father as the captain of the Warriors, he later learned that his Warrior father had already blown up in the first round of bombing of the Chinese Air Force, and only the crotch and a ellipse left. The reputation of the No. 1 Warrior in the Empire was obviously not as powerful as a bombshell. "The flesh and blood body is indeed difficult to withstand the torrent of steel." This is the haze in Captain Abe Tsubasasa's heart and an unforgettable lesson summarized by the Japanese Army.
"Isn't it just that there is a father in the team leader who was blown to death? What's so proud of?" Asbe Jun despised the captain fiercely in his heart, and then he pulled his eyes back to the radar display. A very slight shaking was discovered by him, but he naturally regarded this fluctuation as a radar mistake or other clutter, but then there was another tremor. Asbe Jun was a little angry, and slapped the monitor hard, cursing: "Why is this guy wrong again?"
"No, something went wrong again so soon?" Huo Nishida put down the kettle and was about to take a sip of hot tea, but was disappointed by Abe Shun's scolding. After hunching over and checking the side repeatedly, he shook his head and said, "I guess something was wrong. This guy said it was the latest product, why was it like a pile of scrap iron slag?"
Naturally, Toshi Abe and Haru Nishida didn't know that as early as five in the morning, a heavy fighter brigade that took off from an air force base in Jiangsu, China had already taken off with full load. This squadron is the only unit equipped with heavy air combat aircraft. The fighter they used was called the F-11 "Falcon", which is an all-weather two-seat twin-engine heavy fighter (can also undertake attack aircraft tasks).
The Falcon heavy fighter is equipped with two high-power engines, which allows the fighter to fly at a maximum speed of Mach 2.5 without external loading, which is 2.5 times the speed of sound. The traditional two-person cockpit, that is, the front seat is a pilot and the rear seat is a weapon system officer. Both of them have a complete flight control system, and the pilot can concentrate on flying fighters. The weapon system can accurately drop bombs and operate defense and countermeasures, such as releasing jamming bombs.
What is most commendable is that this fighter is equipped with a target-obtaining cabin. Excellent photoelectric technology makes the operation no longer have a daytime difference. At the same time, there is a laser calibrator in the cabin, which can be used to guide bombs or lock mobile targets and automatically track them. The equipped radar can not only use low-pulse frequency for terrain mapping, but also has medium pulse frequency for close-range detection and high-pulse frequency for long-range detection, and extremely powerful detection ability for targets. Of course, up to eleven weapon plug-ins and a maximum load of more than eleven tons can allow it to carry more weapons in addition to its own navigator, such as air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, cluster bombs and various guided bombs.
Like the Falcon Hunting Brigade, the brigade had all been dispatched without leaving any one, but they did not carry gliding guidance, precision-guided bombs, and heavy ground-drilling bombs like the Falcon Hunting Brigade. In the Falcon Hunting Brigade, four fighters did not carry these things, but carried an electronic defense pod, four high-speed heavy anti-radiation missiles, four medium-range air-to-air missiles, including two fighting missiles on their wing tips. These two fighters were obviously responsible for the task of hitting Japanese radar and air defense suppression. Moreover, other fighters also carried different advanced ammunition for their respective strike tasks.
After departure, the brigade's forty-eight fighters flew at the best cruise speed until it was 150 kilometers away from the Daheishan Islands, and then it fell to an extremely low altitude, and all of them were autonomous flying at a low altitude of 50 meters. This is also the maximum extent that the Republic Air Force exaggerated the performance of Japan's air defense radar. If these pilots knew that the Japanese air defense radar's maximum detection distance was no more than 80 kilometers, they would definitely not want to fly at a high speed only 50 meters away from the sea. If they were not careful, they rushed into the sea for sharks. No one was willing to do it.
Whether they want to or not, the four fighter jets carrying anti-radiation missiles were divided into two teams, one against the Japanese radar on the Daheishan Islands, and the other team was responsible for a radar in the entire Japanese state. The second radar was discovered after special forces penetrated into North Korea on a large scale. This is also the most hidden one of the three air defense radar stations arranged by the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula, and one is located in Nanpu.
Two fighter jets responsible for attacking the Japanese radars in the Daheishan Islands were the first to change their autonomous driving and resume manual driving. After climbing to a height of one thousand meters one after another, they were indeed "discovered" by the Japanese radar. On the two fighter jets illuminated by the Japanese radar, two weapon system officers successively obtained corresponding data from the Japanese radar, but they did not know that the two Japanese radar soldiers actually regarded the radiation signals of the fighter jets as clutter.
"Lightning 1 target data has been entered"
"Lightning 2 target data has been entered"
The two fighter jets were not in a hurry to launch valuable heavy anti-radiation missiles as soon as possible. This missile dedicated to attacking enemy radars is extremely expensive. If a war eagle is worth nearly 10 million yuan per unit, then the heavy anti-radiation radar, which is an important attack weapon for fighter jets, will definitely have a higher cost-effectiveness, and the price of 500,000 yuan per unit can indeed illustrate this point.
Such an expensive thing must be cautious, so the two fighter jets exchanged target information through tactical data links, and only entered the missile after obtaining the best data. The missile also took some time to warm up.
This missile preheating link is a major criticism of the Republic's intelligent weapons. It is worth forgiven for the invention of such an advanced anti-radiation missile in 1943. The missile series will be more advanced and only intelligent in the future. Therefore, the weapon system officers of the two fighter jets did not feel any impatient. After concentrating on preparing, they pressed the launch button.
When Abe and Shun were complaining that the radar had another problem, the two "Falcons" had already dropped four huge anti-radiation missiles, and the fighter jets that suddenly lost their heavy load suddenly rose by dozens of meters. After the four missiles launched successfully ignited the rocket booster engine, they reached twice the speed of sound, and soon started the ramjet engine. Under the guidance of their respective mother planes, the missiles maintained such a speed towards the Japanese radar 80 kilometers away.
For the heavy anti-radiation missile with a speed of more than 2,400 kilometers per hour and accelerating further when it is twenty kilometers away from the target, the distance of only 80 kilometers was completed in less than two minutes. This time was not even enough for Abe Shun and the others to curse and shut down the plane and restart the radar.
When the two of them had this plan, they entered the terminal self-guided anti-radiation radar, and quickly used their warhead of 300 kilograms to free Abe and Shun and others. As well as all the soldiers of the entire radar base station, especially the captain who was hated by Shun, quickly became eternal in the violent explosion. Shun's captain may be the most tragic. His father was killed by the Chinese Air Force's heavy aviation bomb more than ten years ago. More than ten years later, his son was blown away by the heavy anti-radiation missile of the Chinese Air Force.
It is impossible to say that it is an improvement to be sent by expensive missiles to meet Amaterasu. Moreover, the Japanese special radar squadron where Shun Abe is also the first batch of Japanese army soldiers who died in the Sino-Japanese Korean War. Of course, more than 100 Japanese navy submarines on the Iranian submarine were already ahead of them, and both groups of people were treated well, including line-guided torpedoes, anti-radiation missiles, and advanced weapons from the Republic. The time when the Daheishan radar station was eliminated was confined to 6:57, which was still three minutes away from the official outbreak of the war.
The war broke out at 7:05 and entered the Korean Peninsula with a large number of advanced fighter jets. The Chinese Air Force quickly understood what precise strikes meant. The first thing they were taken care of were seven large Japanese airports, and the Japanese army in Shinyiju, Pyongyang, Seoul, Daejeon, Jeonju, Daegu, Busan, and field airports in Pyongyang, Seoul and other regions, were quickly attacked violently. Satellite-guided bombs that fell from the sky and sprayed with flames followed one by one, and the airport quickly turned into a sea of fire. The Japanese army claimed to be the best Zero fighter, and it became parts in the sea of fire without having the opportunity to show its skills.
The next one was the Japanese warehouse on the Korean Peninsula. In order to maintain North Korea's military rule and confront China with force, the Japanese army had ten large arms warehouses and more than 20 small military warehouses on the peninsula. Without exception, all of them were built with reinforced concrete structures, and even several hidden underground warehouses discovered by synthetic aperture radars in space. They were all subject to precision strikes. The underground warehouses were treated slightly better because they were more expensive heavy-duty ground-boring bombs. They seemed a little more useful in consuming precise guided ammunition from the Chinese Air Force.
Nearly one million tons of materials will soon be gone, and the misfortune of the Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula will begin.
As Toshi Abe's comrade Haru Nishida said, the Sino-Japanese Taiwan conflict fourteen years ago did teach the Japanese army a good lesson. The Japanese army exchanged the jade fragments of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to get a little maturity. At least they understood the power of air strikes, especially for large-scale gatherings. On the front battlefield, soldiers who often cannot kill hundreds of bullets, and at this time they are often bombed by bombs.
The Japanese army, who deeply understood that "died on the road of charge, died in the bombing, were cowardly under the bombing", among the eight major divisions stationed on the Korean Peninsula, ten independent brigades, and nearly 250,000 Japanese Korean troops, the fourth, sixth and tenth, were the strongest troops, and these three divisions were in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, but were not concentrated on the front line but the second line of defense of the Japanese army. For example, the Fourth Division was in Tokugawa, the Sixth Division was in Hamhung, the 10th Division was in Dingzhou, and the third line of defense, that is, Pyongyang, the 11th and 12th Divisions in Wonsan, etc., they almost did not concentrate rashly, and they were usually dispersed with infantry brigades as the system.
But the protagonist of the war is human, but it is not just the troops that determine the combat effectiveness of the troops. They need equipment, ammunition, life and medical supplies. However, once a large-scale warfare occurs, they will lose all the things needed. The Japanese warehousing system, as the key target, was severely destroyed. When they have not yet recovered from powerful radio interference, the second wave of aircraft that took off from bases such as the Air Force in Liaoning, Jilin and other bases seemed to have no key targets. The bombs were thrown on the heads of the Japanese army as if they were not money. Since the Japanese army could be dispersed in the system of brigades or independent brigades, the Chinese Air Force could also allow participating aircraft to treat the Japanese army separately in squadrons.
Like the last Sino-Japanese and Taiwan conflict, in the face of strong strength, the Chinese team did not need to hide their strategic intentions. The Japanese army had a full six-hour series of bombings, which means that the war officially started at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the Chinese Air Force's more than 1,000 aircraft continued to drop bombs from the rear onto the combat targets.
As the treasure of the Chinese Air Force, it is also the pioneer of the Air Force to open up the Japanese air defense and completely obtain air supremacy on the peninsula. The Air Force's troops that completed the information construction and redesigned the equipment, which had participated in the war, was a Falcon Fighter Team, a Falcon Heavy Fighter Team, and two early warning aircraft. After obtaining air supremacy, these troops returned to confidentiality again. The Air Force also had a strategic transport aircraft brigade, an air tanker team, an attack aircraft brigade, etc., but it has not yet been used. By 1:00 pm, the traditional piston propeller planes in the eyes of the Korean Japanese army were still the most frequent in the eyes of the Korean and Japanese army. The Chinese Air Force strategic bombers that appeared in carpet bombing also participated in the massacre.
In other countries, wars may be determined by endless bombing. For the Japanese army, they have lost air superiority, lost material reserves, and lost some personnel and equipment. What is this? If more than 200,000 Japanese troops cannot be driven out of the sea, China will not be able to liberate the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, it is obviously not possible to rely on the air force to squander it. The most important thing is to rely on the big brother of the army to deal with these 200,000 Japanese bastards and the two Japanese soldiers recruited by the Japanese.
To enter the Korean Peninsula, you must cross the Yalu River. This natural dividing line between China and North Korea over the years has played a role not only in dividing national boundaries, but also in raising people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
But at the end of March, the Yalu River in early April will not give face to the Chinese Army. The biggest feature of this temperate monsoon climate is the cold winter and the warm summer. The climate of the entire Yalu River varies greatly. From early December to mid-April of the following year, the entire middle and upper reaches were in a period of ice, and the water surface was wider and the water volume was larger, and the ice period was relatively shorter. Therefore, currently, the Chinese Army is a full ice-water river, and ice cubes of large and small can be seen on the river surface at any time.
The cold Yalu River paralyzed the Japanese army, making them think that the Chinese team would come in May at the earliest, but the war broke out earlier. However, the Chinese team, which took the initiative to advance the war, faced difficulties. The Yalu River, which mixed with ice and water, was extremely cold, and with the wide surface of the river, it was impossible to force it to cross.
There are four bridges on the Yalu River, Changhui Bridge, Linjiang Bridge, Ji'an Bridge and Dandong Bridge.
As a highly mechanized Chinese Army, it would not consider going through the Changhui Bridge and the Linjiang Bridge. The two bridges connected by the North Korean region are underdeveloped mountainous areas, and the Japanese army has also built powerful fortifications. In addition, the Changbai Mountain area belongs to the forest reserve of the Republic, and the transportation is not developed. If a large army of tens of thousands of people wants to break through and enter the Korean Peninsula, they will inevitably suffer serious losses.
Ji'an Bridge is located in Ji'an City, Jilin Province, the Republic. It has long been the only bridge that can restrict exchanges with the Korean Peninsula under the control of the Japanese government. However, this railway bridge was built a few years ago. Although the traffic capacity was good, after the deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations, the Japanese army completely destroyed the Japanese-controlled section, and the 300-meter railway bridge controlled by China was left on the entire river. The entire river was left with the 300-meter railway bridge controlled by China to endure the wind and sun.
The main bridge with frequent exchanges in China and North Korea in the past was actually the Dandong Bridge. The Dandong Bridge, which was built in 1909, was a railway bridge supervised by the Governor of the North Korean Governor's Office, which was more than 900 meters long. Then it was planned to build a new highway bridge not far away. However, the Republic under Zhang Yu's leadership rose strongly, and Japan gradually withdrew from the Northeast region and lost its sphere of influence and a large amount of interests, so there was no need to spend huge amounts of money to build the highway bridge. Later, the Japanese even took the initiative to cut off the Japanese control section on the Dandong Bridge. Since then, only the Ji'an Bridge has remained, and no one expected that the Ji'an Bridge would be cut off soon.
Therefore, the only thing left for the Chinese Army is two almost abandoned bridges in the upper reaches, while the two bridges in the lower reaches are only half left. The Yalu River, hundreds of meters wide, seems to have become a huge natural barrier in front of the Chinese Army. What caused the biggest obstacle to the Chinese Army is not the Japanese coastal defense that has been almost bombed back to the Stone Age, but the Yalu River that has nurtured the Chinese and North Korean people for many years.
Although each army group has its own engineering regiment and has professional bridge building equipment, what is now blocking the army is not a small river or ravine that is about twenty meters wide, but a Yalu River that is more than two hundred meters wide.
There was no other way, the Army had to play the role of the Marine Corps. They needed to launch a powerful landing operation. From the integrated strengthening artillery group of the Sixth Army in the morning, they began to use rocket launchers, large-caliber howitzers, howitzers, and even self-propelled artillery to clean up the Japanese shore defense firepower preparations, including several inland transport ships specially converted into fire support ships.
During the three-hour violent artillery attack, three shells were shot in total. The shells poured on the Japanese positions and fortifications like heavy rain completely plowed the Shinyizhou landing ground selected by the army twice. Just after noon, the Fifth Army's fleet dispatched collectively. Under the cover of armed helicopters, the transport helicopter carried the assault vanguards toward the landing ground. The task they undertake was not to maximize the killing and injury of the Japanese army, but to timely discover the undestroyed Japanese coastal defense fortifications, and guide the artillery to block the reinforcements that blocked the Japanese army. If possible, they would naturally attack and seize important strongholds quickly.
The large-scale landing operation began at 1:30 pm, and it was at a high temperature in the day. With the help of artillery soldiers who were ready to provide strong fire cover at any time, hundreds of collected ships set out from Dandong Port, the 14th Division of the Fifth Army set out first, and the Air Force also sent a fighter squadron and a dive bomber brigade to provide cover for the landing troops.
The landing battle was not fierce. There was only one Japanese independent brigade defending in Shinyizhou. No matter how tough the style was, it could not withstand the steel torrent under the coordination of the Chinese army and air force. When the 14th Division successfully landed and expanded the landing field and obtained important heavy equipment, the rumbling tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, etc. had already pushed the momentum of the steel torrent to a higher level, and there was no suspense in the landing battle.
The Japanese army also knew very well that in the anti-logistics battle, the Japanese army was not the opponent of the Chinese team, so the successful landing of the Chinese team in Shinyizhou seemed to be something that they had expected for a long time. For them, their real killer weapon was also an important force to break the myth of the Chinese team's undefeated, and it was still on the second defense line.
Chapter completed!
