Chapter 39 Rescue Operations
.The first battle of the Chinese Air Force entering North Korea was not considered a success or a failure.
Although four J-m was shot down in the air battle, and the eight FBC-1cs that arrived were intercepted by two F-22a, six were shot down on the spot, and the remaining two immediately dropped their bullets and withdrew from the battle at a speed of two Mach. The bombing operation was completely failed, but one F-22a of the US military was shot down by J-sd-10, setting a precedent for this war and breaking the myth of F-22a.
Judging from the comparison between air combat, the US military's bragging has been pierced.
In the early days of F-22a service, the US military made bold statements, F-3rd generation fighter jets were in confrontation, and the air combat ratio was more than one hundred.
The reality is that even if the People's Army lost mig-29 and mig-21 and six FBC-1cs, the jiāo exchange ratio of f-22a in the air battle is less than 1 to 20. If this air battle is used as the basis, the jiāo exchange ratio of f-22a and j- is one to four.
If you exchange one f-22ajiāo for four j-, the US Air Force will definitely suffer the loss.
In terms of value, the unit price of f-22a exceeds 200 million US dollars, and the unit price of j- is only 15 million US dollars, which is about one f-22a. Including the pilot training costs, the ratio of f-22a and j- is more than one to seven, so the US military can gain a advantage.
War cannot be measured entirely by money.
This air battle caused problems with the Chinese Air Force and fully proved the advantages of the US military.
The US military had more than 170 F-22a, and more than 40 participated in the war. Even if the 1-to-4 comparison was made, Huang Zhibo could not get back the air supremacy by fighting all his capital.
When the air battle occurred, Huang Zhibo was holding a mobilization meeting for the entry of North Korea.
There are much more difficulties in reality than expected.
Although commanders at all levels had a consistent attitude on the issue of entering North Korea and no general opposed to joining the war, there were serious differences on how to fight.
The biggest question is: Are you sure to defend Pyongyang?
If the US and South Korean coalition forces head north from Kaesong, the problem is not very prominent. The Fourth Legion collectively retreated to the Licheng River, and the First Legion has deployed defense lines in Zaining River and Huangzhouchuan, and the three defense lines can be held for at least a week. When the US and South Korean coalition forces attack outside Pyongyang City, the ground forces of the volunteer army have crossed the Yalu River.
The fall of Haizhou changed the situation.
The US-South Korea Allied Forces, who came ashore from Haizhou, directly behind the Fourth Corps, cut off the supply line of the Fourth Corps. Regardless of whether the Fourth Corps can be encircled or annihilated, the main forces of the US-South Korea Allied Forces, namely the Second Infantry Division and the Ninth Armored Division of the South Korean Army, will head north quickly. Under the attack of the landing troops, the Zainingjiang defense line is already full of holes, and the US-South Korea Allied Forces will soon march towards Huangzhouchuan and open the Nanda Mén in Pyongyang.
The First Legion is about to collapse, what should I use to defend Pyongyang?
Rely on the Pyongyang Security Army?
This is definitely a joke, because the Pyongyang Guard Army is Kim Il-jeong's "Imperial Guard", similar to the inspection force in the Chinese team and the military police in the US military.
Do you have any hope of winning by using a military police?
If you can't defend Pyongyang, the problem will be complicated.
Even if the ground forces of the volunteer army can cross the Yalu River in time, they may not be able to stand in northern North Korea, and may become the key target of the US-South Korea coalition forces.
But, this question cannot be vague at all.
The Yalu River must pass, and the faster the better.
Before the ground troops cross the river, they must stabilize the situation of the war and at least maintain the main main roads and military bases in the area north of the 39th North latitude.
This arduous task fell on the Air Force.
The ground troops of the US-South Korea Allied Forces have not yet arrived, and they mainly use accurate bombing to attack the people's army and infrastructure in the area north of the 39th North latitude.
We must withstand the air strikes of the US-South Korea coalition forces and take back air control.
This was the first decision made by Huang Zhibo at the mobilization meeting and the first order issued immediately: the Air Force and the Navy Air Force that assists the Air Force in combat must withstand the pressure, regain air supremacy in the area north of the 39th North latitude, and create favorable conditions for ground troops to enter North Korea to fight.
After the meeting, Major General Liao Wengang found Huang Zhibo alone and reported what had just happened.
At the Battle Command of Aid Korea, Huang Zhibo was the commander-in-chief and was fully responsible for ground operations. Liao Wengang was the chief of staff and the commander-in-chief of air operations. Xu Fantao, who had not yet come to report, was the deputy chief of staff and the commander-in-chief of maritime operations.
These three people were directly appointed by Fu Xiubo, and they are also the leader among the young generals of the three armed forces of the army, navy and air force.
"Can you be sure?"
"It's true that before Captain Yan Yingbo was shot down, he reported the battle situation. At least one F-22a was shot down by the SD-10 missile."
"Report it immediately, remember to hold a press conference to focus on promoting our fighter jets to shoot down the f-22a."
"Is this necessary?"
Huang Zhibo smiled and said, "Of course it is necessary. The battle is not only about strength, but also about psychology. The myth of f-22a has been broken by us and it definitely needs to be widely publicized."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
"You hold a press conference in person to enhance your persuasion."
Liao Wengang nodded, indicating that he understood Huang Zhibo's meaning.
"By the way, where are our pilots?"
"It has been confirmed that one pilot was killed, and only one of the other three pilots fell in North Korea. The rescue team of the Army's special forces has set out."
Huang Zhibo's brows jumped a few times, waiting for Liao Wengang to continue speaking.
"There are two more landing in South Korea, one of them is Captain Yan Yingbo, who shot down the f-22a."
"We must save him."
"It's very difficult. After all, we have not declared war on South Korea. If we send it..."
"I don't care what you use, I must save him." Huang Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It may be luck to be able to shoot down f-22a in air combat, or it may be that f-22a has some flaws. Rescuing the pilot, he knows better than us how to deal with this kind of fighter."
"I understand, I'll make arrangements."
"Don't get into trouble. If you can't handle it, call Li Guoqiang and ask him to help."
Liao Wengang nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, on the Ocean Island, Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong were introducing the situation of North Korea to the brigade's comrades.
Due to the restrictions on confidentiality rules, the two did not mention going to North Korea to perform secret missions, and the others did not ask. Telling out what they saw and experienced in North Korea would allow comrades to have more knowledge about this mysterious country and would be of great help to the future war in North Korea.
The question is, what's there to say?
The two of them have not had much experience in North Korea. At most, they only know that the Korean people are very simple and have very good environmental protection. The water in the stream can be directly drunk, and the mountainous areas are rarely visited.
These things are all available in the xiǎo booklet provided by the General Staff.
In order not to delay the normal training of comrades, Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong arranged their time after breakfast.
Anyway, the canteen is big enough to accommodate more than 100 special forces soldiers in the brigade.
For special forces who have never been to North Korea, it is much better to listen to the two squadron leaders brag after breakfast than to watch morning news on the TV.
While the two were playing very well, Cao Anguo was called out by a guard.
"Commander Wu, why are you here?" Cao Anguo was a little surprised when he saw Wu Jianjun.
"Come here to take a look. I heard that the conditions here are very difficult, I'm afraid you can't stand it." Wu Jianjun rushed over as soon as he got off the plane.
"Fortunately, there is food and accommodation, and the venue is not tremendous. But everyone is very anxious and is waiting for the orders above sooner or later."
"What are you doing now?" Wu Jianjun looked over at Quan and acted as a big tent in the canteen.
"Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong are introducing their experience in North Korea to everyone. I think this will be helpful for the war in North Korea, so I arrange for them to report after breakfast."
"They are in good shape, aren't they?"
"Like everyone, I want to call it earlier."
Wu Jianjun smiled and said, "I just received the order that Major General Liao Wengang issued from the Operations Command of the Aid Korea."
“Is there a mission for us?”
Wu Jianjun nodded, took out a cigarette in a hurry, and gave Cao Anguo one. "Just half a time ago, the Air Force fired the first shot into the North Korea."
Cao Anguo's brows jumped a few times and guessed the order issued by Liao Wengang.
"The results of the battle are pretty good. I heard that a US military f-22a shot down."
"Who is so powerful?"
"A captain special pilot named Yan Yingbo."
"Good luck, good thing."
Wu Jianjun smiled and said, "It's not a victory. Our four j-s were shot down, one pilot was killed, one pilot fell in North Korea, and the army special forces have been dispatched. Two pilots have landed in South Korea, and Liao Wengang wants us to rescue them."
Cao Anguo smiled bitterly. "We always choose what others have left, if..."
"General Liao respects us so he gave us this arduous task. The army rushed to ask for it, but he still won't give it."
Cao Anguo sighed and said, "How many people are needed?"
"A team of eight people rescue teams, the second department will cooperate fully, so it would be even more ideal if you have been to North Korea."
"Old Wu, isn't you going to call the two men?"
"Does the first brigade have Koreans?"
"No. Two of them came last year, but they were all eliminated in the assessment."
"If I had known, I should have kept them." Wu Jianjun sighed and said, "It's okay. When I get there, the second ministry will send someone to help me. I will call Li Guoqiang and ask him to arrange a guide and translator."
"How to get over?"
"General Liao is making arrangements and will be sent to you after making a reservation."
Cao Anguo nodded and said, "Since it's time to save people, you can't delay, the faster the better."
"You go and talk to them, determine the other six people, and then select the right weapons and equipment." Wu Jianjun threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it for a few times. "General Liao said that this time was a secret operation, and Commander Huang did not want to get into trouble, so it was better to disguise himself as the Korean People's Army."
"Okay, I know how to arrange it."
"I'll go to your barracks and bring them over later."
