Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 1366 Pros and cons and odds of winning

"The 3rd Expeditionary Force..."

Serious research has been done on this 3rd Expeditionary Force.

This is the blue team's most elite Marine Expeditionary Force Group.

According to the current deployment of red forces in the green zone and flow, it is indeed very difficult to cope with the joint attack of three aircraft carrier strike groups plus an expeditionary force group and all the blue air forces deployed on Miyajima.

The most terrible thing is that there is no way to resupply at this time.

The blue side still has some satellites that have been transferred to the commercial army, and they still have certain reconnaissance capabilities.

Once the red side attempts to resupply the Ryukyu and Green Zones, aircraft will take off from Miyajima and the aircraft carrier strike group. Among them, the ones taking off from Miyajima must be the Lancer bomber formation, carrying LRSAM anti-ship missiles for off-zone strikes. The aircraft carrier strike group The ones taking off must be various fighter jets, used to suppress the red side's air power and ensure the safety of one's own bomber fighter formation.

Since it was an out-of-defense strike, the launch time of the Lancer B-1B formation was very short, and they ran away after the attack. It was difficult for the fighter jets taking off from the red side to escape from the entanglement of the carrier-based aircraft taking off from the blue side's aircraft carrier strike group in such a short period of time. Go after the Lancer bombers.

If they ignore the losses and engage in a deadly fight with the blue carrier-based aircraft group, as long as the opponent turns around and runs away, the red air force will still not be able to conduct a long-range pursuit. Even if it recruits tankers and long-range bombers to attack the Miyajima base, it will be A large amount of air power was lost. As a result, it would no longer be able to cope with the carrier-based aircraft formations on the blue side's three aircraft carrier strike groups. If the blue side added another Hangu strike group, the red side's air power would not be able to cope with the heavy losses. With such a huge carrier-based aircraft formation, Liuqiu and the Green Zone will still be unable to be defended when the time comes.

"Li Zheng, if it is imperative for the 3rd Expeditionary Force to seize the island, what method should we take to defend Liuqiu and the Green Zone and survive this fatal week?"

Tactical arrangements are so confusing.

There is never a perfect tactic.

Li Zheng looked up at the situation map and troop distribution information on the screen. As he looked at it, he suddenly murmured: "The possibility of holding on is too small... too small..."

He seriously raised a question to his deputy commander.

As a military saying goes - no matter how perfect a battle plan is, half of it will be immediately scrapped once the battle begins.

Zhen Zhen was stunned for a moment. He rarely saw Li Zheng admit defeat on his own initiative.

In the past, Li Zheng could come up with corresponding tactical arrangements for any situation he encountered.

this time……

To admit defeat from the beginning? Think you can’t hold on?

"You mean we have to give up these two places to preserve our vitality?"

"No, you can't retreat either."

Li Zheng turned to look at Zheng Zheng, his expression extremely firm.

"We cannot let the failure of that year repeat itself."

He said seriously: "Then tell me what you want to do?"

Li Zheng pointed at Liuqiu and Green Zone and said: "There are two deployment methods of the 3rd Expeditionary Force. If they want to attack Liuqiu and Green Zone, they will inevitably be unable to do without these two modes: One is to carry an amphibious assault group The other way to implement amphibious landing is to use tactical transport aircraft such as C-2 for airlift. Considering that they probably will not take the risk of sending an amphibious assault group to the theater before gaining control of the sea, and also consider the factor of rapid response, therefore, Airlift will be the primary way Blue Forces deploy the 130rd Expeditionary Force in the early stages of the campaign."

"Currently, the Blue Army Marine Corps is deploying all its troops to Huangfang Island and Miyajima bases through airlift to implement rapid mobile deployment tactics. Their C-130 transport aircraft can not only airlift combat personnel and vehicles and other light equipment To any island, long-range firepower such as Seamus rocket launchers can be airlifted, which greatly increases the combat capabilities of the Marine Corps. Therefore, once the Blue Army determines to launch an island seizing operation, it is very likely to use a large number of tactical transport aircraft units Under strong air cover, the 3rd Expeditionary Force was airlifted to the island in batches."

"However, currently our shore-based air defense missiles can cover the Green Zone, but they cannot cover the Liuqiu Islands. However, they have three aircraft carrier battle groups nearby, and the carrier-based aircraft group can provide them with air cover. Currently, we are in the Liuqiu and Green Zones. The air defense facilities in the area have been seriously damaged by the blue team's attack, and ammunition is insufficient. Therefore, I judge that they will use two modes together. The amphibious assault ship carrying armored vehicle team sent by Miyajima will conduct an amphibious landing in the green zone, and the yellow team will carry out an amphibious landing. The amphibious assault ship sent by Fang Motojima will transport the Blue Marines to implement an amphibious landing on the Ryukyu Islands. Then the aircraft carrier strike group will take off carrier-based aircraft to fight with our air force. At the same time, the Lancer formation at Miyajima Base will hang on as before. The LRSAM anti-ship missile took off and struck our aircraft carrier formation and water reinforcement targets from behind the fighter group, using a multi-pronged approach to complete the goal of seizing the island."

He said seriously: "We have formulated relevant response plans before we started the confrontation, and you also reported them to me. The contents are very targeted. For example, you mentioned in the combat plan that we should prevent the blue team's third The key to the expeditionary force's landing on the island lies in the battle between our navy and air force. The navy wants to ensure that it cannot carry out amphibious landings from the sea and should establish a submarine interception line in the sea east of the Green Zone. This kind of submarine interception does not require absolute air superiority and We have sea control, so we can deploy it as soon as the battle starts. We have a large number of conventional submarines and can establish several interception lines to form a strong deterrent to the blue fleet. Another key point is to prevent it from carrying out large-scale airlifts. We must first ensure air supremacy in the theater. to capture and defeat the enemy's fighter units, making airlift impossible; if absolute air supremacy cannot be ensured, then a large number of ground-based long-range air defense systems must be considered. S-3s and Hongqi-400s in coastal areas can already cover the entire green zone. , however, in order to strengthen the air defense capabilities in the eastern part of the island, long-range air defense missiles must be transported to the island as soon as possible and extend our air defense range eastward. Only by establishing a strict air defense system can the 9rd Expeditionary Force be unable to airlift to the island. "

"That's the problem." Li Zheng said: "Seniors have said that no matter how perfect the combat plan is, half of it will be ruined as soon as it is launched. You are so honest! Our problem now is that the strait transportation lines cannot be guaranteed at all. Even if the LRSAM missile We are trying our best to intercept, because we cannot achieve 100% success. If a few pieces are missed, we will suffer heavy losses. Such desperate supply will be costly and unsustainable. We will be dragged to death. Let alone a week, it will be difficult to survive for three days. Live. What's more, even if all of our aircraft carrier formations move forward to establish a maritime defense line east of the Green Zone, without the support of satellite reconnaissance, it will be difficult to find the opponent's three major aircraft carrier strike groups to attack. Although we rely on early warning aircraft and drones, It is possible to detect the opponent, but the West Taipei is too big after all, and it takes too much time. Without the convenience of satellites, the time of the fight can affect the outcome. Without the support of satellites, our aircraft carrier formation can go out to the east of the green zone. It is also a It’s a risky move, after all, their Miyajima base can take off Lancer bombers, so the threat is too great.”

Seriousness seemed to understand.

His hand tapped on Miyajima's position.

"You mean, it has to be taken away?"

Li Zheng nodded: "This is the safest way, otherwise, our chances of winning are too low."

Seriously said: "But our Beidou system has not been fully restored, and the guidance accuracy is not good enough. Relying on quantity to make up for it will cause us to consume too much and affect the next combat operations."

Li Zheng's eyes fell on Miyajima and he hesitated to speak.

Finally he murmured: "Maybe there are other ways..."
