    Chapter 335 Aerial Reconnaissance

    The South China Sea Fleet Command left two and a half fighter squadrons and four bomber squadrons because they could not allow all aviation forces to attack. In that case, if an unknown special situation was encountered, the aircraft carrier would be greatly threatened, which was not too big for Hawaii.  For large islands, three days is enough for the South China Sea Fleet to slowly carry out bombing rounds.  *

    The focus of the first wave of bombing was on important buildings such as US military ammunition depots, headquarters, and barracks. US anti-aircraft artillery positions were also among the key targets.

    Since the U.S. military has lost its air power, the sky in Hawaii has become a stage for exciting aircraft performances. In addition to the U.S. military's backward anti-aircraft guns that can pose a certain threat to aircraft, aircraft can carry out air strikes on selected targets at will.

    The U.S. Pacific Fleet Command located in the south-central part of Oahu became the first target of this bombing. Two bomber squadrons dived directly over the headquarters and conducted a fierce bombing on them for twenty minutes. The remaining two squadrons  A bomber squadron and a fighter squadron cleared anti-aircraft artillery positions near Oahu and the headquarters.

    The U.S. military headquarters was bombed into a mess amidst the rumble of artillery. The main buildings collapsed into ruins, and thick black smoke rose from everywhere, rising into the sky.  The command center, communications room, barracks, canteen and other facilities of the US military headquarters were severely damaged and were basically unusable, achieving the expected bombing effect.

    However, because the U.S. military had long expected that the South China Sea Fleet would bomb, they had already withdrawn some supplies from the headquarters, took away some communication equipment, and hid in the nearby mountains and forests. They established a temporary headquarters to continue directing U.S. military operations.  US military base personnel have also undergone relatively complete transfers, and soldiers in major bases and military ports have moved to nearby mountains.

    The U.S. military seemed to have become a guerrilla force at this time. From the headquarters to the middle and lower-level officers, they all hid in the mountains of the Hawaiian Islands. Only a few artillery positions were left in the base, and ten of them were destroyed during the bombing.  Several anti-aircraft artillery positions, Zhencheng also lost two H-2 bombers and two pilots.

    Since the U.S. military has chosen to retreat to the mountains, the Zhenjiang attack will not have much effect on U.S. military personnel. In order to eliminate the U.S. ground forces, it is necessary to send Marines to the island to clear it.

    ¡°But after the US military entered the mountains, their supplies became more difficult. They had to transport fresh water, food, ammunition and other supplies from the foot of the mountain to the mountain along the few roads in the mountain forest.

    These materials were bombed by seismic aircraft during the transportation process, and some of them were lost. However, there are some freshwater lakes and other freshwater resources in Hawaii, and there is abundant rainfall. The US military can collect rainwater for use, but the food must still be transported from the mountains.  purchased from residents.

    The Hawaiian area is rich in sugar cane, pineapples and other products, and the livestock industry is developed. These can almost supplement the needs of the island residents and garrison. They can basically have enough food, and they do not need to rely on external supplements when saving in wartime.  Supplies come in.

    Therefore, the U.S. Marine Corps in Hawaii has the ability to fight for a long time. They can rely on the resources on the island for long-term resistance. Of course, the amount of ammunition on the island is also limited. They must use it sparingly to support more.  External reinforcements arrive.

    Several U.S. warships loaded with supplies have passed through the Panama Canal and have begun to sail toward Hawaii with the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. It is estimated that they will arrive in this area in three days, which should be similar to the arrival of the Edel fleet. This is also the commander of the U.S. military.  the result of departmental coordination.

    They want the Atlantic Fleet to arrive in Hawaii at the peak of the battle between the Edel Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet, so that they can board the island more safely and replenish the troops stationed on the island to provide them with ammunition and other materials that can last longer.

    This Atlantic Fleet will also participate in the battle later, cooperating with the Edel Fleet to contain the South China Sea Fleet.

    The first round of bombing ended quickly. After losing two bombers, the planes returned one after another to the South China Sea Fleet, which was gradually approaching the Hawaiian area. At this time, it was only about a hundred kilometers away from the Hawaiian coastline. Since there was no threat from US military aircraft, the South China Sea Fleet  There is no need to take off fighter jets from places far away from Hawaii to conduct air strikes. The fleet approaches Hawaii and takes off fighter jets anchored on the sea within a hundred kilometers. This can save more aviation fuel and at the same time carry out more bombings per day to target the enemy.  The U.S. military facilities and defenses caused greater damage, and within a limited three days, caused greater damage to the U.S. military.

    The second round of bombing began soon. This time, the U.S. air defense artillery and anti-ship artillery located on the five main islands became the focus of the bombing. The air defense sirens on the five U.S. islands were sounded almost at the same time, and then the seismic aircraft attacked these islands.  The islands were cleared, and more than 20 US military air defense positions were immediately launched for intensive bombing.After the bombing ended, more than one-third of the US anti-aircraft artillery was destroyed.

    In the following rounds of strikes, the U.S. military's air defense artillery positions were almost completely destroyed. Except for a few positions hidden in the mountains and forests and difficult to be attacked, the rest of the air defense artillery positions were destroyed. The U.S. military's threat to seismic aircraft was basically  After being lifted, there are seven or eight US military shore defense artillery bases located in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Hawaii. There are one or two shore defense artillery positions on each island. After five or six rounds of bombing, these positions have basically collapsed.

    The important defenses of the US military were also heavily bombed during the second day's bombing. Some exposed fortresses on the mountains were successively destroyed, and obvious targets such as US military barracks were bombed. The US military could only stay in the mountains at this time.  Camping, enduring mosquito bites, and plane bombings are not very effective in killing soldiers.

    After two days of bombing, the US military headquarters, barracks and other buildings have been basically destroyed, and important position facilities have also been removed. There are no obvious targets to continue bombing.

    Due to the continued bombing by planes, farmers in Hawaii have basically stopped working in the fields, which has partially affected their food production and livestock production. This will also indirectly affect the US military's continued combat capabilities. If external assistance is not available for a long time,  , the U.S. military can only sustain itself on the island for up to half a year.

    The bombing on the third day seemed relatively relaxed. At this time, the planes were looking for groups of US soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests, and attacking their transport teams, which caused some damage to the supply lines of US soldiers, but the artillery shells would be lost in the mountains.  Blocked by ground objects, the lethality is far less than that on ordinary flat ground. Therefore, when encountering bombings, American soldiers will hide in the holes they dug or crawl on the ground, using tree trunks, branches, leaves, rocks, etc. as cover, and the shells will hit them.  The effect is not very big.

    After three days of bombing, the intensive bombing of Hawaii gradually subsided, because in the future, the air defense mission of the fleet will be greatly increased. The Edel Fleet has already appeared in the waters southwest of Hawaii, a thousand kilometers away from the South China Sea Fleet.  There are no reconnaissance planes that have been detected kilometers away.

    Aidele also chose to change its course from northeast to suddenly sailing eastward in order to avoid the South China Sea Fleet to the greatest extent, in an attempt to circle to the east of Hawaii and join the U.S. Atlantic Fleet approaching Hawaii in the waters east of Hawaii.  .

    In order to avoid missing the Adel fleet and allowing them to approach Hawaii from the South Pacific or the North Pacific, the South China Sea Fleet conducted a large-scale search of the area within a thousand kilometers around Hawaii with Hawaii as the center.

    However, it is difficult for such a large-scale search to cover all sea areas, and the probability of missing the opponent is also very high. However, as long as the Adel fleet is indeed approaching Hawaii, and our army persists in searching back and forth in this airspace, sooner or later we will  The main force of the opponent's fleet is located, and the closer they are to the Hawaii area, the greater the chance of being captured.

    Due to the heavy reconnaissance mission, the fleet conducted reconnaissance in two batches. Each batch dispatched four bomber squadrons and two fighter squadrons to cooperate with the reconnaissance aircraft in the search. Anti-submarine aircraft and rescue helicopters were also dispatched to perform search missions in nearby waters. Each team  After the reconnaissance mission is completed, the second team of aircraft will take over, and the first team of aircraft will return to rest and resupply.

    The two teams of aircraft rotated for reconnaissance to ensure that no gaps were formed and the enemy fleet was missed, allowing them to get too close to one's side.

    ¡°Then the South China Sea Fleet also gradually moved north, slightly away from the Hawaii area. They did not want to be taken advantage of by the enemy, so they came prepared and launched a sudden attack, allowing the fleet to move on the sea at all times and no longer stay in one sea area.

    Over the eastern waters of Hawaii, about 800 kilometers away from Hawaii, two J-2 reconnaissance aircraft were roaring through the sky. Under the cover of the clouds, the two aircraft flickered and appeared, shuttling through the sky.  A long reconnaissance mission was carried out on the sea. The two of them had been flying on the sea for two hours and were a little tired.

    ¡°No. 13, are there any targets?¡± The reconnaissance plane No. 15 asked another plane a few kilometers away through the intercom.

    "There are no targets on the sea. Let's prepare to return. We are almost there. Our replacement will be here soon. Let's go to the north to scan around and prepare to leave." Pilot No. 13 responded while observing the radar screen.

    "Well, I'll fly north first." No. 15 looked a little helpless. After several hours of flying, he had not gained anything, and he couldn't cheer up.

    "Wait a minute." Just when pilot No. 15 made a turn and wanted to fly north, the voice of his teammates suddenly sounded again on the intercom.

    "Yes, yes?" This short and urgent voice made Pilot No. 15's heart skip a beat, and his eyes flashed.

    "My radar shows up"A bright spot, I want to fly east for a distance to see if there are any surface targets?  "Pilot No. 13 stared closely at the target moving from east to west on the radar screen. It was obvious that the target was moving very slowly and was a target sailing on the sea. He immediately changed his mind and prepared to continue to detect this section.  The emergence of the bright spot also made him feel a little excited, thinking that maybe he would gain something today.

    "I'll go with you and cover each other. Maybe there will be US military planes nearby. Pay attention to safety." Pilot No. 15 stopped the direction he had just changed, made another sharp turn and returned to the position facing the east, and said to No. 13  There was a sound.

    "Keep a distance of five kilometers and fly forward in parallel." Pilot No. 13 said lightly, and then drove the plane into a cloud in front.

    After a few minutes of flight, bright spots appeared on the radar screens of aircraft No. 13 and No. 15, and as time went by, the bright spots increased.

    "Good guy, this must be a ship of the Atlantic Fleet?" Pilot No. 15 sighed, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and there was a look of joy between his eyebrows.

    "Perhaps it's just an ordinary merchant fleet. In order to avoid being harassed by pirates or warring country aircraft, the current fleets are all rushing in groups. You have to fly closer to get a closer look. Don't get too happy yet."  Although pilot No. 3 also felt a little excited, he was more calm.

    "I have a hunch that this must be the American fleet. I haven't seen such a large group of guys appear at the same time for a long time. The distance they keep is very much like the marching formation of a fleet, not like the formation of an ordinary merchant ship." On the 15th  Still insisting on his opinion, he retorted.

    "Well, I hope what you said is true. Pay attention to concealment, don't be caught by the opponent, don't get too close to the target, and return immediately when you can make a judgment to avoid alerting the enemy." No. 13 reminded again.

    After the two planes passed through a large cloud, they gradually appeared more than ten kilometers away from the bright spot on the screen. They did not dare to get too close to the target to avoid being observed by the opponent's telescope. Instead, they flew to the target under the cover of the clouds.  A favorable observation area, start observing with a telescope.

    "There are nearly fifty ships in total. I saw the American flag on the mast. This must be the American fleet, but it seems that there are also some civilian ships mixed in. It seems that they were requisitioned to transport supplies.  Ship." No. 13 had clearly seen part of the target and maintained its flying altitude.

    "I saw the muzzle. It is definitely a fleet. It must be the Atlantic Fleet of the Yankees. Tell them to hurry up." The excitement in No. 15's eyes became more intense and he said into the microphone.

    Due to the limited communication distance between aircraft, the communication distance of J-2 and H-2 combat aircraft is within five kilometers, which is equivalent to that of US military aircraft. However, the voice quality of vibrating walkie-talkies is much better. US military walkie-talkies are susceptible to various  Interference and noise are heavy, so they prefer to use gestures to communicate with each other.

    Moreover, the U.S. military fighter planes are slow, so they can see the expressions and movements of their teammates, which facilitates communication. The vibrating planes are fast, so relying on walkie-talkies to communicate has become the main method. Sometimes, when they are very close, they can directly shout or do something.  Gestures, head bobbing, and shaking of the head to express some basic meanings.

    "However, the communication distance of the Zhen** reconnaissance aircraft is relatively long and can communicate with each other over a hundred kilometers away. Four of the reconnaissance aircraft are equipped with high-power radios and can send messages back to the command ship a thousand kilometers away.

    Therefore, after the general aircraft situation, nearby reconnaissance aircraft will be notified, and then the reconnaissance aircraft will use relays to forward the notification to the four reconnaissance aircraft with high-power radios, and transmit the message back to the aircraft carrier command center. In this way, the South China Sea Fleet has achieved thousands of  Communication and command capabilities over kilometers.

    After the US military aircraft were sent to perform missions, they basically lost contact with their headquarters. Only after completing the mission and returning to the vicinity of the headquarters, could they contact the headquarters again. This was determined by the technical constraints at the time.  , at this time, the world's military was still very far away from information warfare, and there was no so-called instant communication command network at all.

    The so-called integrated air-sea operations of the US military in later generations is actually a concept that integrates the communication systems of all ships, aircraft, and ground command centers of the air and navy to transmit information instantly and quickly to each other. This is the true optimization of information transmission.  All combat units can contact each other instantly and learn about the combat situation in other places and the specific location, number of people, equipment and other information of the enemy. If this kind of air-sea integration is really implemented, it will be a combat mode with very high combat efficiency.  , in the 21st century, only the United States has the possibility of forming this kind of combat mode, because only they have the hardware and software foundation to establish this kind of combat mode, and it is still very difficult for other countries to get involved in this field.

    andZhen** has undoubtedly reached the forefront of information warfare in this century. Although the concept of information warfare has not yet been formed worldwide, Li Tiancheng has obviously already been familiar with it to build a highly information-based force in the future.  It has also become the direction and goal of his efforts. At this time, the Zhen** Air Force has initially realized the prototype of informatization and is gradually moving forward. The so-called air-sea integration will also become the future development goal of Zhen**, but it must  We can't mention it until the various software and hardware equipment have reached a perfect level. It is estimated that this goal will not be achieved within more than ten years.

    "On the 15th, let's return. You fly northwest, and I fly southwest. We will forward the message as soon as possible, so that our teammates can notify the fleet of the specific location of the US military, and integrate air power to intercept the US fleet." Pilot No. 13  After seeing the target clearly, he took a group photo for them, took an image of the US fleet with a high-altitude high-definition reconnaissance camera, and then said to No. 15.

    "Okay, if you meet teammates along the way, call a few brothers to keep an eye on them." No. 15 added.

    The two aircraft began to slowly accelerate and turn, concealed themselves in the clouds, and flew apart in two directions. Soon the nearby J-2 and H-2 aircraft were the first to get this important message, and began to forward it to nearby fighters until they arrived.  On the reconnaissance plane equipped with a high-power radio, the message was quickly transmitted to the subsequent operations center of the South China Sea Fleet in about twenty minutes.
