NIP #366 - The Third Battle
#366 - The Third Battle
Under the immense pressure of the war, Taiyuan Aviation Industry Group, Yanjing Aviation Industry Group, and Fengjing Aviation Industry Group, the three major aircraft manufacturing plants, went all out and began a comprehensive modification of more than one hundred early versions of the J-5. The brilliant results achieved by the First Air Regiment had already proven the significant technological advantage of the J-5A over older aircraft. Now, the air force's overriding task was to implement J-5A modification and full-scale production!
Soon, the entire First Air Division was re-equipped with the newly modified J-5A. The Second and Third Air Divisions also each received a J-5A fighter regiment. The air force's three main forces began a full-scale transition from propeller-driven aircraft to jet fighters.
The Mustang fighter production line, which had been operating at full capacity, was now completely shut down and began to be converted to produce the J-5A.
Jet fighters, in conjunction with fire control radar and air-to-air missiles, had achieved a true crushing advantage over propeller-driven fighters. Even the ten strongest propeller-driven fighters, the P-51D Mustang, were immediately outdated. In the Dragon Country Air Force, the original Mustang fighters had now become second-line fighters, now used for support and air strike coordination.
The second generation of jet fighters, based on technologies and dimensions from both the A-4 and F-4 aircraft, began to be continuously imported from the main world by the 'measuring tape brigade.' The research team began a full-scale shift. In 1951, two top-secret projects, 5101 and 5102, emerged. Under these two projects, dozens of research teams focusing on aero-engine power, new materials, new avionics, and airframes were fully deployed, frantically digesting and absorbing the technology that Ren Zhong had brought from the main world.
Although they didn't know where Director Ren had obtained these era-defining technologies, Director Ren's side had always seemed like a bottomless source of technology. Everyone was used to the Director being able to do what others couldn't.
Everyone felt that technological breakthroughs were the key to the Dragon Country's rejuvenation, and one by one, they devoted their limited lives to the infinite process of technological breakthroughs.
On the battlefield, the brigade commander excitedly mobilized a bomber group, imagining providing huge assistance to the army. However, after the first two small-scale bombing successes, they immediately encountered the rogue eagle's enhanced air defense battalion and suffered losses of a dozen bombers. The brigade commander was so distressed that he had to stop the bombing.
The Type 98 light bomber and Type 99 light bomber left behind by the little devils were too poor in performance. Bombing basically relied on human eye experience and judgment, and a certain degree of accuracy could only be achieved by approaching at low altitude. Generally, the effect of ground attacks was better after approaching at a low altitude of nearly 1,000 meters. In the positions of the Eighth Route Army and the GMD at the time, where there was no anti-aircraft fire, the little devils could unscrupulously lower their altitude to a few hundred meters to bomb, so it left a lot of shadows and wild hopes in the brigade commander's heart.
He hadn't had a chance to use the bombers after getting them. This time, he finally got air supremacy, and the brigade commander was ready to show the rogue eagle a thing or two with aerial bombing.
Who knew that for the rogue eagles, who were experienced in air defense, they were all too familiar with these two bombers of the little devils. After losing air supremacy, the rogue eagles strengthened the air defense battalion teams for the ground forces. At an altitude of 1,000 meters, it was now difficult for the captured Type 98 and Type 99 bombers of the little devils to avoid the interception firepower of the air defense battalion no matter how they were adjusted. They were not very useful and the losses were not small, so the brigade commander quickly gave up the bombing operation against the rogue eagle's position and turned to bombing the puppet army positions of the Southern Army or propaganda-style high-altitude bombing operations.
In the defense of key nodes on the logistics transportation line, such as Guicheng, Anzhou, and Pingcheng, the Dragon Country Volunteer Army is still stationed, but the Volunteer Army headquarters did not have so much manpower to control the remaining small cities and vast rural areas, and handed them all over to the Northern People's Army to redevelop.
The aim was to allow the Northern People's Army to re-establish a solid base in the north, which had been defeated by the rogue eagle's coalition forces.
Although the Volunteer Army in this timeline even brought their own food, the logistics route security manpower still required the North to provide migrant workers to assist in ensuring that bridge repairs and loading and unloading at each transportation node were done.
The myriad of things exhausted Brigade Commander Ren, the internal and external housekeeper.
However, with the current situation opened up, both the Volunteer Army headquarters leaders and the brigade commander were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The current situation was completely different from when they sent troops.
In the beginning, many people had fear in their hearts when facing the world's superpower, but now they had won several hearty victories in a row.
Not only the high-level officials, but the morale of the entire nation had been boosted.
Nearly a century of bad luck had been swept away by half after defeating the little devils, and now defeating the rogue eagle, this super rogue, had wiped out the other half of the haze!
The Volunteer Army headquarters believed that the rogue eagle, who was still unwilling to negotiate, had not been hurt enough, and was prepared to increase the intensity against the rogue eagle.
After planning, the Volunteer Army headquarters prepared to launch the Third Campaign to continue to promote peace through fighting.
The goal of the new round of campaign was to capture key locations such as Hancheng and Suwon, and push the defense line to the vicinity of Pyeongtaek, Eumseong, and Chungju, and continue to compress the survival space of the Southern Army.
According to the requirements of the Volunteer Army headquarters, this time they concentrated the three armies of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie, and broke through from Paju, Yeoncheon, and Cheorwon respectively!
This time, Li Yunlong chose to advance in the direction of Paju in the west.
The western line has the so-called natural barrier of the Han River. Facing a river surface of more than one kilometer, heavy weapons can only pass through the Han River Bridge.
In contrast, the other two routes can cross the Han River on a narrow river surface or simply bypass it.
However, because the rogue eagle coalition forces on the other side were a little unethical, they placed explosives under the bridge piers of the bridge. Once Li Yunlong and the others launched an attack, they would blow up the bridge. This made Li Yunlong a little tied up. If he attacked, he was afraid that the enemy would really blow up the bridge and he would be dumbfounded. Heavy weapons could only set up pontoon bridges in narrow places on the river surface upstream.
In fact, if the Han River Bridge could be taken down, Li Yunlong would have rushed over to take Hancheng long ago.
The latest novel is first published on Liu9ShuBa!
He put the forward command post directly on the front line of the Han River and had been planning how to break through the rogue eagle coalition forces' situation, but even if Li Yunlong had many tricks, he couldn't think of a good way.
If the enemy blocked the bridge surface with firepower, people could not pass through on a large scale. A few heavy machine guns forming a crossfire on the narrow bridge surface would basically be impassable.
The solid concrete bunkers on the opposite side could not be destroyed by mountain guns, and heavy artillery was not easy to use. The only cloud explosive bomb that could be used, the effective range of the rocket launcher was not enough.
If the defending soldiers on the opposite side could not be killed in an instant, and they broke the net and found a chance to detonate the explosives, the bridge would be gone.
But now there are coalition soldiers defending and patrolling up and down the bridge for more than ten kilometers, and there is no possibility of swimming across the river. On such a wide river surface, once swimming is discovered, it will be a target in the hands of the rogue eagle!
Difficult, it was really too difficult.
But in the central and eastern lines, Ding Wei and Kong Jie began a large-scale maneuver after receiving orders, each found a breakthrough, and had already crossed the river with the army upstream of the Han River.
The first update, the last day, urgently ask for monthly ticket support, still a little bit short of 1000, urgently ask brothers for frontline support!
