Volume 10, Fight for Domination Volume 58: Dilemma II
.
With the increase in the range of Chinese attack aircraft and the power of ground attacks, the slope of the slope can no longer defend against Chinese aircraft's attacks by their own fixed positions. Passive defense is no longer suitable for the increasingly powerful air force, and only active attack can save the decay.
There are 3 major airport groups in Singapore. The most important Anderson Airport is mainly for bombers. Two slightly lowercase airports are distributed around Anderson Airport, guarding these precious big guys. These two airports are mainly for fighter aircraft. These airports will become the starting point for the entire Nanyang Campaign.
Therefore, the Americans need to come up with a new type of heavy attack aircraft. First, they must be able to defeat China's Dapeng aircraft, and have a long range, can intercept enemy aircraft hundreds of kilometers away, give their own bases and leave enough time to prepare, and can also attack the Chinese naval base in Cam Ran Bay within their own radius of activity.
In this case, the not-so-mature "pirate" heavy attack aircraft hastily started to fight, because if they don't go into battle, the Americans will lose the air battle and then implicate their own fleet, resulting in the final failure of the South China Sea War and the entire World War II.
What is surprising is that the "pirates" are almost the same as a heavy aircraft in China, which aroused the interest of many people and has always become a hot topic of research for military enthusiasts. Who imitated who? However, what makes Americans happy is that the "pirates" aircraft is really very powerful and has gained a certain advantage in the competition with Dapeng. Moreover, with the proficiency of the pilot, the exchange ratio is constantly increasing. It has approached a 1:1.5 battle loss ratio.
Every pilot must know the entire sea area well and be familiar with the situation of each island. In case of a forced landing, he must swim to a friendly island as much as possible. The new squadron set off from Xinjiazhi and followed the -24 navigation aircraft to fly 500 miles northwest. The first thing he saw was the coastal defense. Continue to go north and fly over the Iron Deep Bay, and you can see the port, which is the anchorage of Chinese naval submarines, but it does not have the value of bombing. The submarines are not here at all. They are often intercepted by the first batch of aircraft, mostly harassing, but sometimes they will turn into large-scale attacks. If you pass these tests, you can reach your real destination, Cam Ran Bay!
Cam Ranh Bay is China's largest military port in South Asia, surrounded by land and peninsularity, and has excellent concealment. Cam Ranh Bay was once the largest military base in China's overseas provinces. However, in the year, considering the British protests, China had expressed its intention to withdraw most of its navy from here.
However, the next withdrawal was more like a defense change. Although the tonnage decreased every year, the combat effectiveness of the combat power area did not decline at all. Until the outbreak of World War II, Cam Ran Bay's combat effectiveness ranked among the top in the Chinese naval sequence. After the outbreak of World War II, although Cam Ran Bay suffered heavy losses under the British and American raids. However, with the support of China's strong national strength, Cam Ran Bay not only did not shrink, but continued to grow in artillery fire. The port size in 1917 was already >:. The army was a port, second only to Lushun Port.
The war was fierce, and China claimed to maintain this base to make up for China's influence on the South China Sea. The Chinese military deployed a complete ground radar defense monitoring system and a large number of unknown ships, as well as a large number of airports, with a large number of bombers and fighter jets stationed here.
When the British and American Air Force flew over Cam Ranh Bay, the real battle would only begin. The previous battles were just appetizing side dishes. In this airspace, hundreds of planes would generally fight in the sky. The bombers would throw bombs hard and try to reduce their weight as soon as possible to avoid the pursuit. Those fighters needed to attack their opponents, who were very tenacious and skilled, and would die if they were not careful.
This is the battle route of the British and American air force attack. Of course, 800 miles north, you can reach Guangzhou, an important trading port in southern China, and 1700 miles north, you can hit Quanzhou, but the consequence of doing so is - one way, no round trip. That bad Beijing raid has proved this. The angry Chinese carried the Unlimited Submarine Show in response. "Since civilians who did not participate in the war are considered combatants, then anything floating on the sea should be regarded as enemy fleets!"
Therefore, in the Pacific, Chinese submarine forces blocked most of the waterways, and the US military's transportation channels were greatly hit. In this case, the Americans were like giants strangled their throats and began to breathe poorly. In order to avoid the Americans having to draw some large fast ships to escort.
From 1916 to 1917, Oceania should be the busiest waterway in the world. At night, American destroyers often headed south along the large islands and reefs to deliver supplies and ammunition to the US military. This is the famous large islands and reef express. The Chinese Navy's submarine group set off almost every night and intercepted the express with its number advantage. The large surface warships of the US and the Chinese Navy also appeared at night from time to time. Once they met, a fierce and bloody encounter broke out. However, both sides did not dare to fight too much and always left this dangerous water before the daylight came to avoid being attacked by the other side's land-based aircraft.
Countless warships sank here, and the Iron Desert Bay was named after it. There are observation posts from both the United States and China everywhere on all small islands from Singapore to Bougainville. The United States has deployed many intelligence officers and natives from Australia here. They risked being caught and monitored the sky every day. The only ones they carried were a bag of rice and a radio station. According to the intelligence they sent back, US fighter jets would immediately go to the scheduled airspace to intercept the incoming Chinese aircraft. The large islands and reefs also provided major air combat sites.
Hundreds of American and Chinese fighter jets fell into the sea, and pilots had to leave their lives on a life raft or swim to a deserted island to wait for rescue.
These islands are all south of the equator, and the 10-degree south latitude just passes through Singapore. The terrain varies greatly from the islands. Many small coral islands will be submerged at high tides and are not suitable for settlement. The larger islands are all formed by volcanic eruptions, with uneven heights and uneven heights, including flat grasslands and mountains with an altitude of 8,000 feet.
