Chapter 132 I want to march into South Africa 3
At 2 a.m. on May 5, a large land-based long-range alert aircraft of the National Defense Forces discovered a large fleet in the northwest waters of the British South African Federation. Immediately afterwards, other patrol aircraft also discovered several fleets one after another.
Later, through the summary and analysis of intelligence, it was determined that the above fleets belonged to the European Union and had a very terrifying force. There were as many as 19 battleships and battle cruisers alone, including more than 200 heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, submarines, etc.
Ship!
There is no doubt that the coalition forces' maritime attack on the National Defense Forces began!
The National Defense Forces acted quickly and arranged three lines of defense in the 50 to 500 nautical miles of waters outside Madagascar and Nanping Island.
The first line of defense is composed of the "Jiaolong-Ding" class submarine, which carries out the first wave of hidden assaults against the coalition fleet; the second line of defense is composed of the "Daqing-C" class cruiser and the "Zhenhai" class patrol ship, which carries out the coalition fleet.
The second wave of strikes; the third line of defense is carried out by the "Flying Fish-A" class high-speed patrol boats together with all "lightning", "Sky Eagle-B", "Sea Eagle-B" and other types of fighter jets, as well as coastal artillery, etc.
Defensive operations.
The first forces to be invested will be long-range "Sea Flying Fortress" and "Sea Eagle-B" patrol aircraft, and the "Sea Eagle-B" general service aircraft and the unarmed "Giant Bird-A" amphibious aircraft will conduct searches.
Rescue mission. The USS Xinjiang aircraft carrier battle group was once again incorporated into the "Beining" special mixed fleet, and as a maneuverable strike force, patrolling the South Indian Ocean on the front line of Madagascar, Nanping Island, and Nan'an Island. The USS Shandong aircraft carrier battle group was from the Pacific Ocean
He was urgently transferred to the Indian Ocean and entered the Xihua Island base to replace the former North Indian Ocean defense of the "Beining" special mixed fleet, and as another mobile strike force, he reinforced the South Indian Ocean at any time.
As the "Sentinel", "Sea Flying Fortress" and "Sea Eagle-B" aircraft have been strictly monitoring the enemy, and the National Defense Forces are clear about the movements of the coalition fleets. The small reconnaissance forces sent by the coalition fleets are sent out.
They were basically eliminated and blocked by the Defense Force's maritime patrol aircraft and submarines, so they knew very little about the deployment of the Defense Force. Therefore, this was a veritable maritime ambush battle.
Under the cover of dark night, the National Defense Forces fighter jets and warships can use their own equipment to accurately locate and attack coalition targets, but the coalition can only be passively beaten and electronic equipment
Huge technological advantages will become a key factor in the victory of the Chinese Defense Forces in this maritime ambush.
After the British South African Federation Cape Town and Simmonstown Ports were destroyed, the coalition expeditionary fleet lost two important bases of advance and sailed from Europe to the South Atlantic Ocean, and could only be exhausted without rest.
He was involved in combat. As soon as he entered the 30-degree line of south latitude, he began to be constantly attacked by the National Defense Forces submarines, and he was not allowed to rest. The fleets were always in a state of tension, and their morale would definitely be severely damaged.
Although the large number of coalition destroyers put into operation this time are equipped with newly developed new anti-submarine weapons such as sonar and deep-water bombs, based on their performance analysis, it will definitely pose a threat to the early "Jiaolong" series of submarines equipped by the National Defense Forces.
However, the "Jiaolong-Ding" class submarine is the best-performance model in the "Jiaolong" series. It is currently the main ocean-going combat submarine of the National Defense Force Naval Submarine Force. Under the control of the well-trained officers and soldiers of the National Defense Force Naval Submarine Force,
It can still carry out effective strikes on coalition ships, although it will definitely cause certain losses.
When hundreds of coalition destroyers who were on escort missions "successfully" escorted their main combat ships into the strike range of the Defense Force's maritime defense line, the fierce sea and air battle in Cape Town kicked off!
At midnight on May 11, the National Defense Forces' "Sea Flying Fortress" and "Sea Eagle-B" patrol aircraft used "Iron Fist" guided bombs to carry out the first air strike on the coalition fleet, achieving good results: one heavy blow to the coalition's displacement
More than 30,000 tons of battleships sunk several ships with smaller displacement. Since then, this kind of aerial strike has continued, causing the coalition fleet to lose a lot of troops before entering the Indian Ocean, especially the sunk.
Three large supply ships were sent, causing a large amount of precious fuel, fresh water, supplies, ammunition, spare parts, etc. to sink to the bottom of the sea, which further frustrated the morale and the fighting will must have been shaken.
The air attack operations of the "Sea Flying Fortress" and "Sea Eagle-B" patrol aircraft were both chosen to be carried out at night. Under the guidance of airborne radar, they flew over the enemy ships and calmly dropped 800 kilograms at an altitude of more than 1 kilometer.
The bomber on the plane then relies on infrared night vision devices to implement radio command guidance on the gliding "Iron Fist" and operates the "Iron Fist" to maneuver the dexterous maneuver until it hits the enemy ship accurately.
In this case, since the enemy ships do not have radar, infrared night vision devices and other electronic equipment, they can only rely on visual search, operate anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot in the air, but at night with extremely poor visibility, this counterattack has no effect at all.
, in fact, it's just being beaten.
However, this is just the prelude, and the more fierce counterattack of the National Defense Forces has not yet begun!
On the morning of May 12, several coalition fleets bypassed the Cape of Good Hope and broke into the South Indian Ocean. In this way, the preset maritime defense line of the National Defense Force was disrupted, and all the warships and fighter planes of the National Defense Force had to be put into operation, while the coalition forces were all
The fleet also fought back desperately.
Both sides understand that this naval battle will be a key battle to seize the Indian Ocean's sea control power, and the victorious side will become the master of the Indian Ocean from then on. Therefore, neither side has tried its best.
Six large land-based long-range alert aircraft of the National Defense Forces that have moved to the Tuliala base have played a crucial role in this huge naval and air battle. From beginning to end, they have been facing the forces and trends of the enemy and us.
, position and other positions have been clearly distinguished, commanding their own submarines, surface ships and air fighters to intercept enemy fleets running around. Although the battle seems chaotic on the surface, in fact, the National Defense Forces have their own purpose.
, organized and targeted interception operations.
In Cape Town's naval and air combat, various types of fighter jets from the Defense Army and HNA have become the main combat forces of the interceptor operation. On the one hand, because the number of fighter jets is large, it can form multiple air strike clusters separately, and rely on the support of each base to launch repeated attacks;
Another aspect is its fast speed and rapid action. Among them, the "Sky Eagle-B" multi-purpose fighter has become the most effective weapon for attacking ships by the National Defense Forces.
The "Sky Eagle-B" multi-purpose fighter can fight day and night, with fast speed, long range, and large ammunition load. It can appear at any time and at any position, and then drop a powerful "Iron Fist" guided bomb to accurately hit the coalition warship.
Then, with the airborne 12.7mm machine gun and 90mm rocket, swept the deck of the coalition warships that were shot, they looked at the high-fire firepower of the coalition warships that had been hit by the red sky, and roared without fear and roared away until the ammunition was exhausted.
He returned and became the most terrifying "flying death god" to the coalition forces!
The ground crew members waiting at the airport also took turns to operate. Whenever the fighter plane landed, gas refueling vehicles, ammunition vehicles, ambulance vehicles, maintenance vehicles, kitchen vehicles, etc. rushed forward to rescue the injured crew members, refuel the fighter planes, replenish ammunition, and emergency repairs
The fighter jets that were shot were allowed to eat hot rice, drink hot soup, etc., and it didn't take long for a fighter jets that had just returned to take off again.
The crew members who were not injured were all holding food and rice bowls in their hands, and boarding the ready-made fighter plane while running and eating. The injured crew members kept urging the female medical soldiers who bandaged their wounds, often
Before the rescue procedure was over, he left the entanglement of the female medical and nurses, and joined the ranks of attacking again, causing several female medical and nurses who were fragile to kneel on the ground and cry! And a few "internal anxious" ones
The crew members didn't have time to run to the bathroom next to the airport. As soon as they jumped off the plane, they pulled their pants and solved the problem on the spot. They didn't even bother to worry about the female soldiers who were stunned and blushed...
Fighter planes are landing and taking off continuously. The ground crew members at the airport are watching the fighter planes go away with tears in their eyes. They can't count the times when they are standing on the airport anxiously and sadly, and they are waiting in the sky again.
The fighter jets that returned were put into heavy work again.
However, fewer fighter jets returned to the airplane, while more injured fighter jets and crew members were once more! As the main force of attacking the ship, the 144 "Sky Eagle-B" fighter jets that were killed against the ship did not return after the battle, except for the 63 lost ones, they did not return after the battle.
In addition, the fighter planes that came back were covered in scars!
Fierce battles were going on day and night, and the fighting between the National Defense Forces Navy surface ships and the coalition warships had many tragic close-range gun duels.
The National Defense Forces' naval guns have fast firing speed and accurate firing, but the maximum caliber naval gun is only 130 mm, and the shells are insufficient. The coalition's naval guns have slow firing speed and low firing accuracy, but the caliber is large and the shells are also powerful.
Especially those battleships, battlecruisers and light and heavy cruisers have the caliber of the main guns above 150 mm, and the largest caliber is 381 mm! As long as one hits such a large-caliber shell, the National Defense Forces warships cannot bear it.
The losses to both sides are huge.
In the process of blocking the coalition fleet with naval gun advantages, the 24 cruisers, 30 patrol ships and 36 patrol boats of the Defense Forces surface ships all took the initiative to carry out long-range torpedo attacks outside the range of the guns of the coalition warships.
If the coalition fleet is not destroyed or repelled after the torpedo is exhausted, it is forced to use naval guns to fight the surviving coalition warships. The only purpose is to prevent the coalition warships from advancing.
Fortunately, all the Navy ships and troops participating in the war have been replaced with the "Harpoon-D"-type guided torpedo system, which has unprecedentedly powerful attacks on ships. After the coalition fleet was attacked by the torpedoes caused by the National Defense Fleet, the warships that survived were also
Not many, and the National Defense Forces have given priority to the large main battleships in the coalition fleet as key targets, resulting in the surviving coalition warships being mostly inferior warships in the fleet.
However, even such inferior warships, such as light cruisers and destroyers, are strong opponents of the surface ships of the National Defense Forces in the subsequent close-range naval gun attack, resulting in all surface ships of the National Defense Forces participating in the war being or being injured.
Or sunk, no one is spared.
24 "Jiaolong-Ding" class submarines and hundreds of various types of fighter jets were also sunk, shot down or injured in continuous attacks. If it weren't for the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the "Beining" special mixed fleet
300 "Benlei" carrier-based aircraft, 18 "Qing-Ding" class cruisers and 6 "Jiaolong-Ding" class submarines were constantly divided into troops to intercept and attack, rushing back and forth, and "fighting fires" everywhere, the defense army in the Indian Ocean
The navy will be in a dilemma of no soldiers available!
However, the National Wehrmacht, which relies on the base to support the operation in all aspects, compared with the coalition forces that have gone through hardships, exhausted and seriously damaged voyages but cannot get a good rest and rest. After all, in terms of physical strength, morale, fighting will, etc.
Having a huge advantage makes the National Defense Force's continuous combat capability far exceed that of the Alliance. The Alliance can only rely on the fleet's own reserves to fight the National Defense Force. In a high-intensity battle that lasts for a week, its ammunition, fuel, supplies, equipment, personnel, etc.
They all suffered a lot of losses, but they could not be replenished in time like the National Defense Forces. The more they fought, the weaker they became, until they could not continue to fight.
On the night of May 19, only one of the five fleets of the coalition forces in the West Road cluster that attacked Madagascar, approached the sea 40 nautical miles south of Madagascar, and was still outside the range of its naval guns.
The battle group of the "Shanxi" aircraft carrier that arrived in time gave a head-on blow! A total of 3 battleships were sunk 1, 2 severely damaged, and the remaining ships turned around and fled.
The three fleets of the Allied Forces East Road cluster wanted to bypass Madagascar to attack Xindi Island, but were blocked by submarines, surface ships and fighter planes along the way, and suffered continuous losses. Finally, they were 300 nautical miles east of Mauritius.
The sea area was repelled by the battle group of the USS Xinjiang aircraft carrier.
After entering the Indian Ocean, the most cunning coalition fleet operated alone, advancing eastward towards Nan'an Island, and successfully bombarded the Nan'an Island base with ship guns. Although it was attacked by the National Defense Force's base in Nan'an Island "Sky Eagle-B"
"The air strikes of the fighter jets, but of the 9 warships in total, six were finally able to flee to Australia.
In addition, the coalition surface ship forces made no progress.
However, an unknown number of coalition submarines successfully broke into the waters south of Xindi Island, and successively sank several Chinese merchant ships and even a "Giant Fish-C" class general landing ship of the National Defense Force, resulting in the loading of the ship.
All the materials that were about to be sent to Tuliala Base were lost, and serious casualties occurred! The National Defense Force garrison at the Xindi Island Base immediately dispatched 12 "Sea Eagle-B" patrol aircraft and 12 "Sea Wolf" ship-borne
The patrol/anti-submarine helicopters and six "Zhenhai"-class patrol ships launched a dragnet search and destroyed three coalition submarines. The remaining unknown number of coalition submarines were unknown where they fled.
That night, the coalition forces, which suffered heavy losses and had no hope of victory, finally collapsed, and all fleets began to retreat. The surface ships and submarine forces of the National Defense Forces, which also suffered heavy losses, were no longer able to launch a pursuit battle, and only the National Defense Forces' Army and HNA fighter jets remained unsustainable.
Endless pursuit of coalition warships. On the 21st, all remaining coalition warships fled from the strike range of the National Defense Forces fighter jets.
The retreat of the coalition expeditionary fleet means that the multinational alliance gave up the British South African Federation. The National Defense Forces then landed on the eastern coast of the British South African Federation. The landing forces composed of Marines and Army armored mechanized units quickly headed into the interior of the British South African Federation.
Attack. The coalition defenders who had suffered heavy losses under the air strikes of the National Defense Forces, and the unstoppable defenders retreated north in a hurry. When the National Defense Forces occupied the entire British South African Federation and moved into defense on the spot, the coalition defenders had already "quickly"
Chapter completed!
