"Father, do you want to lead the expedition yourself?"
When they saw their biological father arriving in Australia, the eldest son Zhu Xiangtang and his younger brothers who came to pick him up were a little surprised because their father flew from Boluo Fort.
"If I don't come here, if the battle turns into a war of attrition, both the fleet and the aircraft fleet will have to go halfway around the world from Fort Polo to reach the battlefield."
A certain father thought that it didn't matter if he was in trouble. The important thing was not to let the summoned weapons and personnel go on an expedition of thousands of miles before going to war.
The process and results of the Japanese-Russian naval battle were quite shocking. Zhu Cixiang had not yet planned to send his fleet to the battlefield in the Eastern Hemisphere from the same place.
The fleet departed from the airport in Poroburg. The first stop was Orenburg, located in the middle reaches of the Ural River, where it refueled and then flew to Kabul.
From here, go south to Colombo in Ceylon, pass through Jakarta (Batavia) and reach Citizen in northwest Australia, then Aluminum City (Perth), and finally fly to Crab City (Melbourne), Gold Coast, and Sydney. Military airport.
The distance of the air route also exceeds 15,000 kilometers, and even a "Typhoon" fighter jet with a speed of up to Mach 2 will take seven and a half hours to fly.
What's more, we have to refuel at five airports along the way, which actually takes more than twelve hours, almost from early morning to dusk, and this is when all the airports along the way are ready.
Such efforts are not without reward. Six hundred "Typhoon" fighter jets arrived first, followed by three hundred "Tornado" interceptor aircraft and "Jaguar" attack aircraft.
The huge momentum shocked the flying people who saw the aircraft formation along the way. Due to the extremely large scale, it was impossible to hide the news.
Then there are the third brother version of the Su-30MKI heavy fighter, as well as the original Su-25 attack aircraft, Su-30MS2 fighter-bomber, Su-34 fighter-bomber, Su-35 fighter, Su-57 fighter, MiG-35 fighter, Tu-22M3 bombers, Tu-160 bombers, A-50 early warning aircraft, IL-38 anti-submarine patrol aircraft, IL-76 transport aircraft, An-124 transport aircraft, An-225 transport aircraft, and hundreds of A400M transport aircraft.
Sydney Airport is the closest to New Town (Auckland), the capital of Zhengzhou, but it is about 2,000 kilometers away.
It is not that there are no islands between Australia and New Zealand, but the airport on the island cannot possibly accommodate thousands of combat aircraft to land.
There is no tanker in the gift package. The only ones with a maximum combat radius that can reach the battlefield are Su-30, Su-34, Su-35, Su-57, as well as "Typhoon" and "Tornado".
Su-25 and "Jaguar" accompany each other and become "airport defenders".
Tu-22M bombers and Tu-160 bombers will definitely participate in the war, but the cruise missiles they carry can be launched from a distance of a thousand kilometers.
The total number of summoned fighters that can participate in the battle is 2,400, and the number of bombers is 300. Including Australia's local "King Eagle" fighters and bombers, the total number is 4,595.
In the jet age, dispatching more than 4,000 fighter jets and bombers at one time was a typical aircraft fleet that destroyed a country.
The gift package has a mobile summoning function, which means that the summoned weapons and soldiers can appear wherever the person who owns the gift package is.
Before the end of the month, the various types of combat aircraft summoned by Zhu Cixiang will be close to their peak, and the fleet can only be summoned at the beginning of each month.
This means that neither Zhu Cihong nor Shi Ren can summon a new fleet at this time, and a certain emperor can take advantage of the advantage of having more fighter planes to take a preemptive strike...
It seems that the input of this campaign is 4,595 combat aircraft, but in fact there are many more attack points.
Because each British-style "Typhoon" and "Tornado" carries two "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles, the Spanish-style "Typhoon" carries a "Taurus" cruise missile.
Both the Su-30MS2 fighter-bomber and the Su-34 fighter-bomber are equipped with two X-35U anti-ship missiles, and the Su-30MKI is equipped with a "BrahMos" supersonic cruise missile.
The Tu-22M3 bomber can carry ten Kh-101 cruise missiles, and the Tu-160 bomber can carry up to twelve Kh-101 bombs.
The total number of cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles it carries has reached 6,600. Including the anti-ship missiles mounted on the "Wang Jiu" fighter jets and bombers produced by Daming itself, the total number exceeds 10,000.
Although except for "BrahMos", most cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles are subsonic, which is enough to keep the opponent busy for a while.
By then, Zhu Cihong can also mobilize long-range surface-to-surface missiles deployed locally in Australia to attack the North Island battlefield 2,000 kilometers away.
The range of airborne air-launched missiles exceeds 200 kilometers, which is beyond the range of the Standard-2 air defense missile (167 kilometers).
This means that our own fleet can launch missiles from a relatively safe distance, reduce fuel consumption, and return early after launching.
If the other party uses the "Standard" -3 or "Standard" -6 air defense missiles, that is exactly what Zhu Cixiang has been looking forward to.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on January 25, the squadrons converged off the coast of Sydney, with Jiexuan continuing to be the commander-in-chief of the battle.
The distance by sea from Sydney to New Town is 2,300 kilometers.
The fleet set out at a speed of twenty knots and needed about sixty-two hours of sailing, that is, it would arrive at its destination at 21 o'clock on the 28th.
It is not unfortunate to increase the speed of the fleet, but landing ships, supply ships, and conventional submarines will be held back. Jiexuan can only consider the speed of these auxiliary combat ships.
Because the large fleet has strong anti-submarine capabilities, if these ships are divided into a small fleet, even if a certain number of frigates are dispatched, it will be difficult to take care of every ship.
The eight-nation fleet that arrived later has a total of 6 aircraft carriers, 4 amphibious assault ships, 2 cruisers, 24 destroyers, 72 frigates, 28 conventional submarines, and 23 landing ships.
The trilateral fleets of the two countries that arrived first have 23 aircraft carriers, 22 amphibious assault ships, 14 battleships, 12 cruisers, 85 destroyers, 76 frigates, 14 conventional submarines, 2 attack nuclear submarines, and 122 landing ships. .
After the merger, the fleet size reached 29 aircraft carriers, 26 amphibious assault ships, 14 battleships, 14 cruisers, 129 destroyers, 148 frigates, 42 conventional submarines, 2 attack nuclear submarines, and 145 landing ships.
Including supply ships and requisitioned transport ships, the total number of ships in the Grand Fleet is as high as 1,295, and its combat effectiveness is the highest in history.
The carrier-based fixed-wing combat aircraft include 600 "Typhoon" fighter jets, 76 F-35B, 36 MiG-29K, 24 "Rafale" M, and 28 AV-8B.
Before flying to Australia, Zhu Cixi asked the aircraft factory to slightly modify these "Typhoon" fighter jets so that they could use the catapults on the Type 5 aircraft carrier.
The two Type 5 aircraft carriers are equipped with 48 aircraft each, and the six Type 4 aircraft carriers are equipped with 34 aircraft each.
The "Typhoon" combined with the F-35 and "Rafale" can at least compete with the opposite F-35B and F-35A. Others such as the AV-8B are basically for nothing.
The remaining positions are filled with F-35B. The Type 5 aircraft carrier is a replica of the "Kitty Hawk". After the F-35B is on board, it does not need to take off and land vertically and can catapult and take off.
The purpose of the "Typhoon" on board the ship is to serve as the outer air defense circle of the fleet. This thing cannot defeat the F-35 on the opposite side.
However, with its advantage of high speed, it can easily catch up with the subsonic anti-ship missile launched by the opponent and destroy it.
After being supplemented by the "Typhoon", the aircraft carrier carries a total of 764 carrier-based aircraft.
Zhu Cixiang wanted the "Sukhoi Family" to also board the ship, but later found that the catapult could not support its fully loaded take-off.
This greatly weakens its combat effectiveness. Only half fuel or half ammunition can meet the take-off conditions.
Zhu Cixiang did not have to consider letting them come up to join in the fun, or carry out anti-ship missions from the land airport.
When the ammunition is gone and the fuel is almost consumed, you can land on an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship.
All fighter planes are equipped with tail hooks. Even if the arresting cable cannot be hooked and the fighter plane crashes into the sea, it does not matter, as long as the pilot is fished out.
Originally, these fighter planes were disposable. To Zhu Cixiang, it didn't matter if they were lost, as long as the ultimate goal was achieved.
The country-destroying fleet plus the country-destroying aircraft fleet are supported by space-based weapons and land missiles.
If we still can't win this battle, then we can shake hands with Shiren and make peace...
If the North and South Islands of New Zealand are combined into a boot, then the location of New City (Auckland) is the end of the foot.
There are two ways to attack the city. One is to go around the tip of the boot and then go south.
The other is to attack from the back of the new city, log in and attack the city north.
Since more than half of the warships of the Japanese fleet were anchored in the bay north of Xincheng, Jiexuan decided to launch an attack from the south.
The opponent has air cover, and it is basically impossible to block its fleet in the bay.
Rather than that, it would be better to hit it directly from the eastern part of the Tasman Sea.
Judging from satellite images, after the Japanese army occupied the northern part of North Island, they deployed more than 200 fighter jets at airports around the island.
There are also a large number of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns occupying favorable positions that can destroy incoming anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles.
Even so, the army must destroy them, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
At 4:22 in the evening on January 28, the cruise missiles carried by the first batch of fighter jets and bombers taking off from the land airport in eastern Australia flew towards many targets in the new city, with a total of 1092 cruise missiles. pieces.
Shiren was shocked when he heard the news. You must know that the entire fleet only has less than 7,000 anti-aircraft missiles. Counting self-propelled anti-aircraft guns on land and ship-based close-in defense guns, it is probably impossible to destroy so many incoming missiles.
It is still impossible to judge the other party's true intention, but the incoming missile must be destroyed, otherwise the fleet will be seriously threatened.
Each ship first launched the "Standard"-2 air defense missile with a range of less than 200 kilometers, followed by the "Extended Range Sea Sparrow" with a range of less than 50 kilometers, and "RAM" and "Phalanx" as the last air defense network.
The "Standard"-3 missiles are still reserved to attack missiles from outside the atmosphere. This is the cost of saving lives. Shiren does not want to shoot them out easily.
However, things did not develop as he wished. Another two hundred incoming missiles were discovered one hundred and seventy kilometers away!
The number of enemy aircraft reached more than 200, and the opponent was just outside the "Standard"-2 anti-aircraft missile. It was really annoying.
Shiren ordered all F-15J, F-2A, F-35A, and F-35B fighter jets on the airport to take off. The opponent's target was most likely the airport.
C-1 transport aircraft, C-2 transport aircraft, P-1 anti-submarine patrol aircraft, OH-1 armed reconnaissance helicopter, BK-117 light multi-purpose helicopter, UH-60JA medium multi-purpose helicopter, SH-60K medium anti-submarine helicopter, MCH-101 Heavy mine clearance transport helicopters will also take off.
Helicopters can take off on the spot, and fighter jets are small in size and don't occupy much of the runway. They can all take off within half an hour.
Only the nearly one hundred transport planes and anti-submarine patrol planes had no time to taxi. If they could not intercept the incoming missiles, they might all turn into wreckage.
The radar of the P-1 anti-submarine patrol aircraft that was patrolling in the air discovered the enemy fleet, but was shot down by a missile shortly after. Then Shiren received an early warning of incoming missile information.
This shows that Zhu Cixiang is really attacking him, so he can't just sit back and wait for death. He must fight to the death no matter what.
Shiren ordered Air Force fighter planes to fire immediately if they find an enemy aircraft, and to launch anti-ship missiles if they find an enemy ship. All weapons and soldiers must be on standby to prepare to destroy the invading enemy.
In the coalition carrier-based aircraft force, the F-35B that launches the NSM anti-ship missile, the Western-style "Typhoon" that launches the "Taurus" cruise missile, and the British-style "Typhoon" and "Rafale" that launch the "Storm Shadow" cruise missile are being completed. After the mission, we retreated.
The fleet commanded by Jiexuan has arrived at a position about 250 nautical miles (1 nautical mile = 1.852 kilometers) west of Xincheng. These are Type 88 anti-ship missiles, Type 90 anti-ship missiles, and Type 12 anti-ship missiles with a range of 200 kilometers. A distance that missiles cannot reach.
It would be great if the Japanese fleet dared to come out, but they should be overwhelmed now.
More than a thousand cruise missiles modified from old fighter planes also flew to the battlefield, and the satellites overhead launched more than two thousand small missiles with tungsten alloy shells.
Jiexuan knew the emperor's intention very well. The purpose of this was to form a saturation strike so that the number of missiles would far exceed the interception limit of the Japanese army's anti-aircraft firepower.
Only in this way can we ensure that the Japanese fleet will be severely damaged and many targets on the shore will be destroyed at the same time without massive losses to our own fleet.
"Report! Satellite shows that Japanese fighter planes at the airport are taking off quickly!"
"That's perfect! As long as the other party dares to intercept our cruise missile, shoot it down!"
Our carrier-based fighter jets have only one mission, which is to shoot down enemy aircraft as much as possible and prevent them from destroying the cruise missiles launched by our own side.
The F-35s on both sides are in a peak showdown, and the only opponents for the MiG-29K, Rafale M, and AV-8B are the F-15J and F-2 fighters.
However, the advantage of the coalition fleet is that it has a superior number of carrier-based aircraft and proper coordination in all aspects.
When the fleet is about to reach a predetermined position, the cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles launched by the aircraft will fly to the target.
Coupled with space-based weapons and drone-type cruise missiles, it formed an unprecedented saturation strike against the enemy.
The "Bazin" class Aegis destroyers and the "Hobart" class Aegis destroyers can detect the F-35 at a longer distance.
But the distance from reaction to launching the Standard-2 anti-aircraft missile to intercept will also be shortened to less than one hundred kilometers.
The four "Bazan" ships carry a total of 120 "Standard"-2Block4 long-range air defense missiles, and the four "Hobart" ships are equipped with 128 "Standard"-2BlockIIIB long-range air defense missiles.
The total number of missiles was 248, which was enough to make the Japanese army's 90 F-35A and 168 F-35B feel uncomfortable.
Through the data link, the Type 45 destroyer is preparing to launch one hundred and twenty "Aster"-30 long-range air defense missiles.
In contrast, warships such as "Glory" can only fight F-15J and F-2...
