Chapter 1484 The first surgical strike (second update, please subscribe)
The "decapitation operation" is just the beginning of the action. Next comes the main event - the air raid. After all, that's what SEAF does best.
Tonight, in the Three-Service Headquarters building in Chang'an, in the sewers on the second floor of the Three-Service Headquarters, in various rooms, shacks, tents, and cabins in Borneo, people stared at their watches and looked at each other, At this moment, they had nothing to say in their hearts.
Behind the steel door of the vault on the second underground floor of the tri-service headquarters building, there suddenly became no suspense. So much work had been done and so many plans had been made. At this moment, everything was stagnant. Within two hours it was all over.
Now, it's time for those young people to appear. They have received the mission. They will pass over the heads of the generals and enter the dark night sky.
At 3:15 in the morning, Zhao Mingqin walked into the war room. Everyone stood up. Zhao Mingqin read a message to the troops in the tone of a priest praying. Then the chief of staff said:
" So, let’s take action!”
On the other side of the sea, in Surabaya, people have already started to take action. , the first batch to cross the border were not combat aircraft, but eight "Havoc" armed helicopters affiliated with the Army's 3rd Air Cavalry Brigade. As the world's first armed helicopter, it has demonstrated powerful capabilities since its service. Because of its combat effectiveness, it was called "Air Havoc", and this became its nickname, which has always been loved by the military.
Although their tasks in this battle are limited, they are related to the overall situation.
In the south of Java Island, there are two large radar bases, whose antennas cover the entire sky over the Java Sea. They are the biggest obstacle to this military operation.
There are two reasons why armed helicopters were chosen. Although they are slower than supersonic jet fighters, they can fly close to the sea, thus avoiding radar detection and approaching the two bases unnoticed; the staff requested that the human eye be used to confirm that the bases were indeed closed. It was blown up, and it had to be confirmed from close range.
Only armed helicopters can perform this mission. If those radars were left to operate, many lives would be lost.
These havocs carried out their orders exactly. When they opened fire, they were undetected. All crew members wore low-light night vision helmets that looked as if they had a pair of stubby binoculars protruding from the front of their faces.
This advanced night vision equipment was put into use only two years ago. It can give pilots sufficient night vision capabilities, allowing them to see all objects clearly in the dark, as if they are in bright light. under the moonlight.
First they destroyed the generator that powered the radar, then they hit the communications facility that reported information to the air base, and finally, they blew away the radar antenna.
In less than two minutes, they fired 32 Dragon missiles, 100 70mm rockets and 4,000 heavy aircraft cannon rounds. The two radar bases suddenly became a sea of fire.
This surprise attack opened a huge gap in Jakarta's air defense system, through which other air strikes that night were carried out.
Those who had seen this air combat plan later praised it and said that it was probably the best plan. It involves the step-by-step accuracy of a surgical operation, striking the enemy's vital parts with pinpoint precision while leaving enough mobility to deal with any emergency situations that require adjustment.
The objectives of the first phase are very clear and lead to the other three phases. The mission of the first phase is to destroy Jakarta's air defense system and convert the SEAF's beginning air superiority into air superiority. In order to succeed in the other three phases of the air strike within the time limit set by itself, SEAF aircraft must obtain absolute air superiority in Jakarta's airspace without hindrance.
In the modern air defense system that the Soviet Union helped Jakarta build, the most critical thing is not the "Sam 2" missile, but the radar. Radar is a very important and very useful tool, although there are There are many other weapons with superior performance.
Radar can detect incoming aircraft; radar can guide its own fighter jets to intercept; radar can guide anti-aircraft missiles; radar can also enable various artillery to aim at the opponent's target.
Destroy the radar and make the enemy blind!
A blind man has no power to fight back!
Now that there is a huge gap in the radar coverage area in front of Jakarta, the attack has begun!
But it was not the SEAF that fired the first shot, but the Navy.
Java Sea,
The night falls, and the waves caress the steel body of the warship.
In the bridge of the warship, the naval officers and soldiers were busy nervously and orderly, their expressions were resolute and decisive. The pattern of war has changed in their hands.
It is no longer the kind of bombardment by warships arriving at the shore, but a strike hundreds of kilometers away, where the enemy cannot see.
This is a strike operation against terrorist airports. The goal is to destroy the fighter jets and ammunition depots at the airport.
"The missiles are ready!"
A soldier reported loudly.
The captain stood in the command room, staring at the sea with burning eyes.
He took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Launch!"
As the captain gave the order, a roar suddenly sounded on the warship. The Tomahawk missile launched from the cantilevered launcher is like an arrow off the string, rushing into the night sky with devastating power. Their tail flames cut through the darkness like dazzling meteors.
Ten minutes later, Tomahawk cruise missiles accurately hit multiple air bases of the Java Air Force. Amidst the huge explosion, the air force base burst into flames and lit up the entire sky.
The MIG19 and MIG21 fighter jets at the airport were turned into scrap metal in the explosion, burning with billowing black smoke, and the ammunition depot also experienced violent serial explosions. The firelight and gunpowder smoke intertwined to form a thrilling picture.
At the same time, the H-1 strategic bomber in the air also launched an air-based Tomahawk cruise missile. The missile accurately hit the target. Compared with the trial in Iraq, this time it benefited from the GDS satellite The use of navigation systems is more accurate and naturally more destructive.
The missile accurately hit multiple key targets including the command center and communication center.
March 23rd!
On this day, the world was shocked again - after the navy and air force launched 132 Tomahawk cruise missiles. An air raid of unprecedented scale began.
After the air defense warning network was destroyed, more than 180 F-2 fighter jets flew into the gap, flew to radar stations deep inland, and flew to missile launch bases guided by these radars, aiming at the Jakarta General They were in the military command center where they were commanding, blowing up the communication centers that the generals used to communicate with frontline troops.
At the same time as the huge air raid group set off, under the interference of electronic jammers, the radar was full of snowflakes. Those under the attack of Tomahawk missiles,
Although the airport was attacked Although the radar signal was lost during the attack, the fire at the airport was brought under control under the command of Soviet military advisers and with the joint efforts of military personnel from both countries.
"How is it? Is the radar restored?"
Kuznetsov, captain of the Second Brigade of the 32nd Guards Regiment, shouted into the phone:
"No, but in many places They are all under air attack. It is a Tomahawk. It must be a Tomahawk launched by the North. SEAF will definitely launch an air attack. You should be careful."
Be careful?
How to be careful?
After hanging up the phone, Kuznetsov looked at Pudovkin beside him and asked:
"The SEAF plane should be on the road, what do you think?"
"Fight on !"
Pudovkin said directly:
"Captain, we must defend the dignity of the Soviet Air Force and must not sit back and let them attack our friends."
< br>
In the past nearly two years, they have been training the Jakarta Air Force here, not only teaching them to fly MiG-21 fighter jets, but also personally flying the aircraft many times to bomb rebel strongholds and cities.
"Yes, Captain, we can't let them bomb here over our heads. If they do, we will become a joke, just like in Iraq."
Iraq!
In Iraq, they almost watched the enemy destroy airports and aircraft. What did the Soviet Air Force as consultants do?
It was just a matter of hurriedly boarding a plane and escaping back to the country. From that day on, the Soviet Air Force became a joke, and the air force officers and soldiers who fled back to the Soviet Union were punished to varying degrees.
Now, no matter what, they can't stay out of it.
Whether it is to safeguard the interests of the country or for personal honor, they must attack and fight the enemy to the end!
After all, they are all soldiers, and soldiers have their own honor!
"Okay,"
Kuznetsov nodded vigorously and said:
"Comrade Isayev, check the plane immediately, we are going to fight SEAF."
Kuznetsov's courage not only inspired his comrades, but even the Czech pilots at the airport decided to join in. , they also came to support Jakarta, and also applauded the Jakarta pilots and ground crews stationed at Molifen Airport. They have reloaded fuel and ammunition for MiG-17s and MiG-19s to protect the skies of the motherland.
However, it was obvious to them that 16 MiG-21s took off ten minutes later, all flown by Soviet and Czech pilots, and the Jakarta pilots wanted to fly MiG-17 and MiG-19 fighter jets.
I have to say that sometimes courage needs encouragement. With the demonstrations of Soviet and Czech pilots, despite the lack of radar instructions, these pilots still took to the sky and flew towards the enemy at dawn.
These dozens of fighter jets have become a symbol of courage on this day.
They seem to want to use their courage to prove that there is still a guardian in the sky here!
These guardians of the blue sky will never cower because of the strength of their enemies. They will fight without hesitation!
