Chapter 128 The Fleet Sets Off
"Captain, did you really bring the division-level heavy artillery onto the ship? Can the ship keep swaying on the sea and still be able to shoot accurately?" Another soldier asked in disbelief.
As the most active tactical thinking department in the military, for the army combat elites such as the Special Forces Brigade, fighting the strait to liberate the entire Taiwan is not a slogan issue, but a real task or goal.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Republic's plan to cross the sea to attack Taiwan has experienced countless versions with the changes in global military thinking and the improvement of the Republic's own military strength.
In the eyes of the Republic's military for 80 years, moving the heavy artillery of the Army and the division to the deck of the ship as a direct support for firepower when landing on the beach is the most feasible choice in the weak situation of the Republic's sea and air force.
In order to solve the problem of firepower accuracy, the Republican military even modified the army's multiple rocket launcher to warships, intending to use large-scale suppressive firepower to solve the problem of low firepower support. All of this will turn a small angle with Liang Yuan's appearance.
"You and Lao Hei are both fighting and killing on the front line. I don't know how to use your brain. Look at the deck of 928. The thing is not placed on the deck in the cabin now. After the ship goes to sea, it will be impossible to get it on the deck." Xiong Weixin said, pointing to the deck of the Wufengshan amphibious landing ship in the distance.
The Wufengshan amphibious landing ship in the distance is still equipped with four dual-equipped 57mm naval guns and four dual-equipped 25mm naval guns. The legendary army heavy artillery has no trace at all.
"Captain, what kind of plan is there to provide firepower support? I haven't heard of the Navy's replacement with a large caliber naval gun? The captain should give some insight to the comrades." The first question asked by Xiong Weixin, the soldier called Lao Hei, came over with a smile and asked.
"Lao Hei has also been in Vietnam. I am not referring to the fact that he has dealt with Vietnam's white-eyed wolves in the two mountains in the past few years." Xiong Weixin waved his hand and asked.
"I've been there. Although the US Army has little fighting will, firepower support is very good. In terms of firepower support, we are not as good as the US Army in the past."
"What is the most common firepower support of the US Army besides direct heavy artillery?" Xiong Weixin asked with a smile.
"Air support!" Seven or eight people spoke in unison in the crowd.
"When did our Air Force be so promising?? I have been a soldier for more than 20 years, and I have never seen those winged guys in the mission." Lao Hei looked at Xiong Weixin's smile and guessed everything in a blink of an eye.
"Strong Five? This is impossible. J-7 or J-8? The range is not enough. Captain. Could it be H-6?" Lao Hei scratched his head and asked nonsense.
"The new model is still being kept confidential for the time being, and everyone will see it then." Xiong Weixin looked at the 63 amphibious tanks, and had all sailed into the Wufengshan amphibious landing ship, and waved his hand vigorously, interrupting the team members' questions.
"All of them gather. Get ready to board the ship." Xiong Weixin shouted loudly.
Chen Guanghan was holding a telescope and stood in the combat command room on the first floor of Wufeng Mountain, watching the "Yingtan" missile frigate with offshore departure and hull number 531.
As the commander of the surface ship team of the fulcrum plan, Chen Guanghan set his flagship on the Wufengshan amphibious landing ship, which has the slowest speed and the weakest military equipment. It looks very much like the practice of the international navy, but for the Republic's amphibious landing ship, which has no comprehensive command system at all, Chen Guanghan's move is more important than to think of it as the meaning of sharing the same breath with the army.
The Type 072 amphibious landing ship is the Republic's first attempt in amphibious landing combat equipment. The NATO large amphibious landing ship, code-named Yuting class, has a displacement of more than 3,000 tons, and the Type 051 missile destroyer currently equipped by the Republic's Navy.
Limited to the limited military expenditure of the Republic Navy, the Navy of Type 072 amphibious landing ships have only built three, all of which are assigned to the East China Sea Fleet in the jurisdiction including the Taiwan Strait. The Wufengshan amphibious landing ship deployed in this fulcrum plan was lent to the South China Sea Fleet for use by the East China Sea Fleet.
The implementation of this fulcrum plan has even greater significance for the Republic's military than the unprecedentedly large-scale joint air-ground combat exercises held in the North China Plain in 1981.
The Republic Army revised its strategic ideas for the first time in the North China National Congress exercise. When facing the invasion of strong neighbors in the north, it changed the focus of luring the enemy into depth and the people's war to buy time for the central government to retreat under the cover of the frontline aviation force. The background of the exercise at that time was directly defined as the battlefield after the nuclear explosion.
The tone of the North China National Congress exercise is defense, which can be said to be an anti-aggression war on our own territory, while the tone of the fulcrum plan is a complete offensive, projecting the sharp blade of the Republic thousands of kilometers away, which is a completely new field for the Republic's armed forces, which have been in army for more than half a century.
Faced with this hard-won opportunity and a brand new challenge, the military reform faction led by Geng Qinghua, Lin Xiaoshan and others drew the essence of the Republic's sea, land and air force. It can be said that in addition to the Second Artillery, the Republic's accumulated wealth was used as long as the fulcrum plan could be used, and all of them were stuffed to the Hainan base by Geng Qinghua to be dispatched by Ning Lei.
The latest type of water and land tank, large amphibious landing ship, two absolute main 051 large missile destroyers, three 053 missile frigates, the Army's special operations brigade, 2 F14 fighter jets, 12 A7 attack aircraft, the only Navy of the Republic equipped with Haihongqi air defense missiles, No. 531 missile frigate with point-to-point air defense capabilities, and the conventional weapons that the Republic can take advantage of were all included in the fulcrum plan.
"Captain, the landing ship Wufengshan has been prepared and can set sail at any time." Chen Guanghan's adjutant Gao Ming came to the bridge and said salutingly.
"Where are the commanders of the Army Special Forces Brigade? Where are the five ships that have set sail in front of us?" Chen Guanghan put down his telescope and turned his head to ask.
"Captain Bear is in the landing cabin below. The Nanning, which left the port first, has arrived in the waters east of the Nansan Islands, and is now waiting to join the flagship to form a formation." Gao Ming replied.
