675 Battle of the Solomon Islands (1)

"Indonesia needs to deploy more of our fighters and more troops. If the air force deployed in Indonesia can be stabilized, we can carry out a two-sided attack on the Chinese in New Guinea," said Fargo, commander of NATO's Asia-Pacific Theater Command.

The failure in Indonesia is reasonable and does not mean that the US military has no hope of achieving final victory. The SCO coalition forces dispatched

The aviation power of the US military was several times that of US fighter jets, but the resistance of US military pilots was also very resolute and effective. As a result, Fargo proposed more radical methods to send more troops to Australia, Indonesia and other places, especially fighter jets.

With a large number of fighter jets, it is unrealistic to expect NATO, which is numerically inferior to them, to win by relying on better technology.

Just like when the war came, China unblocked a large number of retired fighter jets in the aircraft cemetery in the west and distributed them to its allies for use. The United States also unblocked almost all available fighter jets from its aircraft cemetery in Arizona and carried out

After refitting, they went into battle.

The US military dispatched nearly 30 fighter planes, together with fighter planes sent by several allied countries, across the Pacific and arrived in Australia, ready to enter Indonesia at any time and participate in the air battle with the SCO coalition forces. However, because the SCO coalition forces attacked Indonesia's main airport facilities

conduct

After the attack, it may take some time to return to the original state. However, because the strike fighters of the SCO coalition are mainly multi-purpose fighters such as J-6 and J-6, the bomb load capacity is limited after all, so in the last air strike,

Not all Indonesian facilities were destroyed.

Fargo also planned a more ambitious plan for the NATO allied offensive on the southern flank. He planned to establish a bomber base in Australia, deploy B6, BlBB2 and other US bombers, and launch air strikes directly across thousands of kilometers to the Southeast Asia. This decision was quite significant.

Just like Nimitz, who had just taken office during World War II, formulated a plan to bomb Tokyo. The tactical value is not great, but it can provide enough psychological deterrence to the enemy, causing the opponent to make some unwise decisions, which is disguised as useful.

It will help the war situation develop in the direction you want.

However, the U.S. military has also discovered a very serious problem. Compared with China's efforts to consolidate the strength of its bombing aviation and continuously expand its bomber fleet, the number of U.S. bombers is less than one-fifth of China's bombers. The old B6 can now only

Fighting against the wind, the survivability in frontal battlefields is worrying, and the number of BlB Lancers and B2 Phantoms is limited. Even if the US military intends to increase manufacturing output, the two combined can only amount to more than a hundred.

Now the U.S. military has to invest huge amounts of equipment procurement and research and development budgets to manufacture a large number of weapons to deal with the powerful Chinese army. Americans are also very puzzled. It is clear that China only started to expand its military strength in the mid-to-late 1980s.

How to catch up with or even surpass the US military in terms of quantity and quality of weapons? That is to say, Gregory Kirk knew a little bit of the inside story, but he did not have the leisure to tell the Americans. The Americans used a lot of intelligence power to

It is always difficult to get too much valuable information by looking into it.

The Chinese PLAl will not completely let the US military take action. After confirming that the SCO coalition forces can protect their rear, the Chinese Navy and Marine Corps launched the Battle of the Solomon Islands. The Pacific Fleet Southwest Task Force cooperated with the Air Force and Second Artillery.

Next, began to attack the Solomon Islands under the control of the US military.

The Jilin aircraft carrier and the Shangri-La aircraft carrier battle group left Rabaul, entered the Solomon Sea, and began to launch air attacks on the islands in the Solomon Islands where US military and NATO allied forces are stationed. The main combat forces of the US military are deployed in Guadalcana

Guadalcanal, where the famous Battle of Guadalcanal took place during World War II. In addition to Guadalcanal

On several other islands outside of China, the US military has only stationed a small number of troops to prevent the Chinese army from landing operations. However, if it wants to fully control these islands, the US military will not do so. Many islands are underdeveloped and even have few residents.

There are also barbaric indigenous people, which makes large-scale troops lack effective support here.

Assisting the U.S. military in guarding these islands is the Japanese Self-Defense Force. Recalling that more than 30,000 U.S. and Japanese soldiers died here decades ago, and now the two countries are actually fighting together, it is really a changing world. Things are changing. The Japanese Self-Defense Force is doing these things.

In addition to making up for the shortage of US military forces, the defense of the islands is also because the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are equipped with shore-to-ship missiles that are not available in the United States. The performance of the Type-6 shore-to-ship missiles is quite outstanding. When deployed on these islands, they can target relatively close distances.

The Chinese fleet poses a threat.

However, the Chinese will naturally not turn a blind eye to this. After the battle officially started, China's HNA carrier-based aircraft took off to carry out targeted clearance of the Japanese Self-Defense Force shore-to-ship missiles that had been detected on several islands. Multiple powerful fighter jets carried out this task.

Mission, these stealth attack aircraft are very useful strike weapons for HNA. Using new guided bombs such as Thunder-, the success rate of striking the enemy is quite high.

The US military has also tried to install Patriot and other air defense systems in the Solomon Islands, but it is more difficult. The Solomon Islands also lack some necessary infrastructure such as roads and electricity, which also adds to the difficulty of US military deployment.

Chinese stealth attack aircraft unexpectedly attacked the shore-to-ship missile unit of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. A total of 6 shore-to-ship missile launch vehicles and related radar vehicles were destroyed by them. The US military's early warning aircraft discovered the enemy's situation only later, but the US military was

This kind of scene has become commonplace. But because

This also makes the US military have a more urgent need for anti-stealth radar early warning aircraft. Lockheed Martin is developing an updated super early warning aircraft based on BB, which can meet the needs of the US military and offset some of the combat power of stealth aircraft. However, it is heavily invested in military use.

At least the end of 2 years.

After the shore-to-ship missiles were knocked out, the Chinese landing fleet immediately launched a landing offensive under the cover of the aircraft carrier fleet. First of all, the NATO allies did not station many troops on the islands except Guadalcanal.

There are only about 3,000 defenders on Choiseul Island and New Georgia Island, and the other islands are basically guarded by company- and battalion-sized ground troops.

Another problem is that the US military and NATO allies do not have much time to build anti-landing fronts on these islands. In fact, they also think that this is not necessary. They have few troops and the islands are too big, and the Chinese will always find their omissions.

Landing is carried out at beachheads, even though landing at those places may be more difficult.

The Chinese landing fleet chose to proceed step by step, capturing one island after another. Even though they were equipped with a large number of Riptide A landing ships, these fast landing ships also needed effective escort, otherwise they would become targets for the enemy. First, they were

The target is the long strip of Choiseul Island. This island is covered with dense tropical trees and has basically not been developed. The US military has stationed an infantry brigade here, which is already a headache.

Before the landing, they routinely bombed the US military indiscriminately. Naturally, the US military would not sit back and watch its ground troops be beaten like this. Two US aircraft carriers and the land-based airport on Guadalcanal took off fighter jets to counter the Chinese army's air raids.

In order to cope with China's increasingly severe air challenges, the US military's carrier aviation deployed in Honiara is mainly equipped with B fifth-generation fighters.

It has been confirmed on previous battlefields that the combat capabilities of the US military's B2 Raptor and B24 Snowcat, two heavy-duty stealth aircraft, are not inferior to China's J-L J-20 (the US military itself believes), and there is even a certain level of vulnerability against the medium-sized J-L Falcon.

advantages, consider

The main carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese naval aviation is the J-14CN. Therefore, in order to gain an advantage on the battlefield, the US military mobilized a small number of B fighters and placed them on the Southwest Pacific battlefield, hoping to play a decisive role.

However, although it is true that the B Snow Cat is slightly stronger than the J-L Falcon, the gap is not irreparable, especially when a large number of Chinese air defense warships are involved in the battle. Under information warfare, the Chinese aircraft carrier

The taking-off early warning aircraft has already grasped the movements of US military fighters in advance. The United States does not have anti-stealth early warning aircraft, but China does. The intelligence is fed back to the Aegis ships on the sea and fighter jets in the air, forming a systematic strike effect on B.

Although B also has the US military's early warning aircraft to coordinate operations, which indeed plays a certain role, the main threat is those Tomcats rather than the stealthy Falcon.

The Chinese pilots flying the Falcon flew over the sea, preparing to fight the enemy. They lowered their heads and glanced at several behemoths floating on the sea. Some people cheered: "Let the American devils have a taste of our power."

Below is a temporary formation of air defense surface ships, consisting of two Type 0ll arsenal ships, two Type 056 cruisers and four Type 052 destroyers, all Aegis ships. The two 0lKs are the second version of the dreadnought battleships, with a displacement of

It exceeded 50,000 tons and was equipped with more than 700 missiles. Even Chinese pilots felt their scalps go numb when they saw this thing.

The terrifying warship that dealt with thousands of targets at the same time and attacked hundreds of targets immediately launched a violent and ferocious offensive after obtaining the attack coordinates. The vertical launch unit was like setting off fireworks, and dozens of anti-aircraft missiles rushed in.

High in the sky.

A large number of anti-aircraft missiles attacked US military aircraft. Although such an attack would not achieve a particularly high hit rate, 9 US military B aircraft were still directly shot down by these Thorns anti-aircraft missiles, while the remaining US military aircraft scattered like frightened birds.

"The long-range air defense missile is the Chinese long-range air defense missile. Please give up the mission. The Chinese air defense firepower is too strong. This is at least the firepower of more than a dozen air defense ships." The US military pilot roared, not knowing what was going on.
