Text 667 Landing in South Africa

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    China's air strikes on South Africa were remarkably effective, which also directly promoted the pL's acceleration of its landing operations in South Africa.  Various military facilities and even civilian facilities in South Africa have been completely destroyed. More than 80% of South Africa's military and civilian airports have completely lost their ability to use. Even South Africa and the US military have dispatched engineering troops to carry out rescue and repairs, but the Chinese  These airports will be attacked again within six hours of the start of the repair work, causing the airport to be destroyed again before the repair is completed.

    "The scary thing is not that the Chinese can destroy our airports and runways. The scary thing is that the Chinese always know our every move, which makes us particularly passive in the war. If we cannot suppress China's intelligence capabilities, then  I can conclude that we are doomed," said a U.S. major general from the South Africa Command. The solution in South Africa has been predictably bleak. When the U.S. military and other European allies are unable to replenish South Africa's ground forces on a large scale,  As long as all the U.S. troops are exhausted, South Africa will be finished.

    The reason why China¡¯s military knows the movements of the US military and South Africa in almost real time is because South Africa and China have dispatched a large number of drones to carry out missions.  From the relatively cheap and tactical Pterosaur to the Xianglong for all-weather strategic reconnaissance, there are also a large number of swords from aircraft carriers, which together form the UAV configuration for missions in South Africa.  Pterosaurs perform more detailed reconnaissance missions. They are huge in number. China's PLA has invested at least nearly 20 Pterosaurs in South Africa. They fly at medium and low altitudes and are difficult to detect. They carry out strict surveillance on airports and other facilities in South Africa.  Keep an eye on them, and send the intelligence back once you find signs that South Africa is repairing them.  They will also attack some relatively weak enemy targets, such as military vehicles and lone armored vehicles.

    There are only a few Xianglongs in number. Most of them fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, using synthetic aperture radar and high-resolution military cameras to detect the ground. Even though they can carry weapons, the PLA is not inclined to do so.  Do, because they have a more reliable strike drone, that is, the sword

    The sharp sword that takes off from the aircraft carrier is the heavy hammer in the drone sequence. They basically do not perform reconnaissance tasks. The Xianglong and Pterosaur capture targets for them, and then all these drones need to do is basically follow the target.  Drop bombs.  This process requires almost no human intervention. The cloud combat system will directly send the targets with attack value discovered by the reconnaissance drone to the Sword or other manned combat aircraft cruising behind. If it is a Sword, it will automatically  According to the system guidance, attack these targets, and the whole process is smooth and smooth.

    The South African campaign was China's first large-scale use of drones in combat after the start of the war, and the effect was very good. Because they are small in size and most of them have stealth designs, these drones are difficult to detect and the division of labor is clearer.  improve its strike efficiency.  What's even more indispensable is that the previous large-scale air strikes have almost exhausted South Africa's massive defense capabilities.  Including radar stations, air defense systems, airports and some barracks, South Africa's defense capabilities against drones have now been reduced to the lowest point.  Even after several consecutive air battles, although the US military did not lose a large number of fighter planes in the air battle, the airport where the fighter planes took off did suffer heavy losses. Many fighter planes were not shot down after taking off, but they had no place to stay on their return trip.  Before it could replenish fuel and weapons and take off again for combat, the Chinese strike fighter was suddenly intercepted on the ground.

    Therefore, even if the US military can now discover that several Chinese drones are performing missions, there is not much they can do about them. They have used anti-aircraft artillery to shoot down several Chinese drones, but they are only second to the number of Chinese drone equipment.  More and more, pL does not pay attention to this loss.

    The more this situation went on, the harder it became for the US military and South Africa to resist China's massive invasion. Finally, when the PLA frontline headquarters determined that the US military and other allied forces could no longer pose any huge threat to the landing operations, a massive  The landing operation officially kicked off.

    The remaining fleet of the US military has already withdrawn to the Pacific area under fleet commander Cornell's passive resistance strategy, followed by the navies of other allies. In other words, in South Africa, only South Africa's own navy is still guarding it loyally.  Its sea territory, and this fleet is definitely not enough to fill a gap in the Indian Ocean fleet led by Zhang Juzuo.

    The few remaining ships of the South African Navy were sunk by anti-ship missiles launched by several powerful carrier-based attack aircraft when they left the port for operations. Afterwards, there was no presence on the sea to hinder the landing of the Chinese PLAi.  On the contrary, South Africa has also deployed some shore-to-ship missiles, but with a huge Chinese drone reconnaissance force, most of the shore-to-ship missiles were destroyed before the battle began. Only a few launchers were well hidden and launched missiles, while China  The Navy's Aegis system is no joke, shooting down all South Africa's anti-ship missiles.

    China dispatched two carrier-based aviation regiments to clear the beach defense weapons at the landing site. The US military and South Africa deployed certain bunkers, shore artillery, etc. However, under China's absolute air supremacy, these things are not enough to maintain  Existence, two hours?After the attack, the beachhead was in a mess, the US military and South Africa suffered heavy losses, and the Chinese landing fleet also successfully sailed onto the beachhead.

    A large number of Riptide A can send heavy enough troops to the beach, and the assault destroyer is an excellent provider of covering firepower. Not to mention that the landing operations in modern warfare are completely different from those in World War II. An advance strike can destroy almost all counterattacks.  Landing weapons.  The only thing that can pose any obstacle to pLAO is the so-called "poor man's atomic bomb" mine.  But this only adds a little more trouble. First of all, things like Riptide A will not hit mines. They sail above the water, and only very complex and advanced mines can threaten them.  Moreover, the Indian Ocean Fleet brought many 6L minesweepers for this landing battle, as well as a large number of minesweeper robots. Even the red alert dolphins are excellent anti-mine weapons.  , you can use sonic cannons to directly destroy mines, but when doing so, you must stay as far away from these explosives as possible.

    South Africa also wants to deploy some surface strike weapons such as multiple rocket launchers to curb the landing of Chinese troops. However, when air superiority is completely lost, these surface strike weapons with huge targets are very easy to be found and targeted by Chinese fighter jets. Even if the US military  and South Africa have thought of many ways to camouflage them, and also made some additional targets. However, before the strike, UAVs with advanced detection capabilities detected its electromagnetic and thermal signals and were able to determine which ones were real and which ones were not.  It's the inflatable guy.

    The landing battle was not carried out on a beachhead. In order to expand the chance of success, the Chinese PLA launched an attack on a total of three beachheads, each of which was no more than 8 kilometers apart. If it succeeded in any direction, its mechanized troops would be able to attack in a relatively short distance.  within a certain period of time to support friendly forces encountering difficulties at the landing point and form an effective coordinated operation.

    In addition, a large number of Chinese naval aviation fighters are still in the air, waiting for every call from their ground partners, and then blast anything that hinders the advancement of the Chinese army into powder.  They created a clearance circle with a radius of 6 kilometers above the landing point. No South African or US military ground troops could remain within the circle. After being fatally attacked, the US ground forces could not continue to garrison near the landing point and could only  Retreating, when they withdraw from the clearance circle, the Chinese landing troops will have the largest space for movement and can complete the landing.  The distance of the clearance circle is calculated based on the range of the US military's long-range weapons. Of course, most of the things with a range of more than 6 kilometers have been destroyed by the Chinese Air Force and HNA.

    At the same time, the navy launched eighteen raiding destroyers as the main fire support during this landing. These strange ships equipped with six-barreled 10Um guns were monsters born for bombardment. When they tilted their artillery fire towards their opponents,  Nothing can withstand them.

    The PLA had four divisions and six combat brigades with a total of 130,000 people participating in the landing operations. On most beaches, they basically encountered no decent resistance. Anything that fired would be viciously attacked within ten seconds.  Counterattack, this is the combat mode of the information age. Accuracy and speed improve the efficiency of combat. There is absolutely no target that needs to be eliminated in front of the PLA. It can last more than ten minutes. The diversity of strikes makes any resistance difficult.  extremely fragile

    When Qi Yiming learned that the pLAR spoon landing operation was successful, he was also very happy. Although this result was expected, as long as the pLA spoon landed, it meant that South Africa would no longer have any chance. The continuous Chinese army and even the Shanghai Cooperation Organization  Allied troops will land in South Africa until they completely defeat the US military and its allies and occupy this important stronghold in southern Africa.

    After the pLA successfully landed, they took a short rest and then engaged in the extermination operation against the US military and other NATO troops in South Africa. At this time, the US military was not in good condition. The continuous air strikes for many days not only caused them to lose a lot of weapons.  and personnel, and their morale is quite low. South Africa has been completely isolated here by the Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet. They cannot go home and have no support, just like a group of abandoned people.  The orders from the White House and the U.S. Department of Defense are still to let them stand and wait for reinforcements, but everyone knows how difficult it is to expedition here from the other side of the Atlantic. The Chinese have a geographical advantage, but the U.S. military lacks an effective stronghold in the South Atlantic.  , this is even more difficult than breaking through the Mozambique Channel from South Africa.
