    "Indonesia needs to deploy more of our fighters and more troops. If the air force deployed in Indonesia can be stabilized, we can carry out a two-sided attack on the Chinese in New Guinea," said Fargo, commander of NATO's Asia-Pacific Theater Command.  The failure in Indonesia was reasonable and did not mean that the U.S. military had no hope of achieving final victory. The SCO coalition dispatched aviation forces several times the number of U.S. fighter planes. On the contrary, the resistance of U.S. military pilots was also very resolute and effective.  As a result, Fargo proposed more radical methods, sending more troops to Australia, Indonesia and other places, especially fighter jets. The SCO obviously has a large number of fighter jets, and hopes that NATO, which is numerically inferior to them, will win with better technology.  , is really unrealistic.

    Just like when the war came, China unblocked a large number of retired fighter jets in the aircraft cemetery in the west and distributed them to its allies for use. The United States also unblocked almost all available fighter jets from its aircraft cemetery in Arizona and carried out  After refitting, they went into the war.

    The US military dispatched nearly 30 fighter planes, together with fighter planes sent by several allied countries, across the Pacific and arrived in Australia, ready to enter Indonesia and participate in the air battle with the Shanghai Cooperation Alliance.  It's just that because the SCO coalition forces have attacked Indonesia's main airport facilities, it may take some time to restore the situation to its original state.  However, because the strike fighters of the SCO coalition are mainly multi-purpose fighters such as J-6 and J-6, the bomb load is limited after all, so the last air strike did not destroy all Indonesian facilities.

    Fargo also planned a more ambitious plan for the NATO allied offensive on the southern flank. He planned to establish a bomber base in Australia, deploy B6, BlBB2 and other US bombers, and launch air strikes directly across thousands of kilometers to the Southeast Asia.  This decision is quite similar to Nimitz's plan to bomb Tokyo when he first took office during World War II. The tactical value is not great, but it can provide enough psychological deterrence to the enemy, causing the opponent to make some unwise actions.  Decision-making, in disguise, helps the war situation develop in the direction you want.

    However, the U.S. military has also discovered a very serious problem. Compared with China's efforts to consolidate the strength of its bombing aviation and continuously expand its bomber fleet, the number of U.S. bombers is less than one-fifth of China's bombers. The old B6 can now only  Fighting against the wind, the survivability in frontal battlefields is worrying, and the number of BlB Lancers and B2 Phantoms is limited. Even if the US military intends to increase manufacturing output, the two combined can only amount to more than a hundred.

    Now the US military has to invest a huge amount of equipment procurement and research and development budgets to manufacture a large number of weapons to deal with the powerful Chinese army.  Americans are also very puzzled as to how China, which only began to expand its military strength aggressively in the mid-to-late 1980s, managed to catch up with or even surpass the US military in both quantity and quality of weapons.  That is to say, Gregory Kirk knew a little bit of the inside story, but he did not have the leisure to tell the Americans. The Americans used a lot of intelligence power to find out, but it was always difficult to obtain too much valuable information.

    The Chinese PLAl will not completely let the US military take action. After confirming that the SCO coalition forces can protect their rear, the Chinese Navy and Marine Corps launched the Battle of the Solomon Islands. The Pacific Fleet Southwest Task Force cooperated with the Air Force and Second Artillery.  Next, they began to attack the Solomon Islands under the control of the US military.

    The aircraft carrier Jilin and the Shangri-La aircraft carrier battle group left Rabaul, entered the Solomon Sea, and began to launch air strikes on the islands in the Solomon Islands where US and NATO allied forces are stationed.  The main combat forces of the US military are deployed on Guadalcanal, where the famous Battle of Guadalcanal took place during World War II.  Except for several other islands except Guadalcanal, the US military has only stationed a small number of troops to prevent the Chinese army from landing operations. However, if it wants to fully control these islands, the US military will not do so.  Many islands are underdeveloped and have few residents. Even if they do exist, they are barbaric indigenous people. This makes large-scale troops lack effective support here.

    Assisting the U.S. military in guarding these islands is the Japanese Self-Defense Force. I recall that more than 30,000 U.S. and Japanese soldiers were killed here decades ago, and now the two countries are actually fighting together. It is really a changing world.  The Japanese Self-Defense Forces' defense of these islands not only makes up for the shortage of US military forces, but also because the Japanese Self-Defense Forces are equipped with shore-to-ship missiles that are not available in the United States. The performance of the Type-6 shore-to-ship missiles is quite outstanding, and they are deployed on these islands.  It can pose a threat to the relatively close Chinese fleet.

    However, the Chinese will naturally not turn a blind eye to this. After the battle officially started, China's HNA carrier-based aircraft took off to carry out targeted clearance of the Japanese Self-Defense Force shore-to-ship missiles that had been detected on several islands. Multiple powerful fighter jets carried out this task.  Mission, these stealth attack aircraft are very useful strike weapons for HNA. Using new guided bombs such as Thunder-, the success rate of striking the enemy is quite high.

    The US military has also tried to install Patriot and other air defense systems in the Solomon Islands, but it is more difficult. The Solomon Islands also lack some necessary infrastructure such as roads and electricity, which also adds to the difficulty of US military deployment.

      Chinese stealth attack aircraft unexpectedly attacked the shore-to-ship missile unit of the Japanese Self-Defense Force. A total of 6 shore-to-ship missile launch vehicles and related radar vehicles were destroyed by them. The U.S. military's early warning aircraft discovered the enemy's situation only later, but the U.S. military  I'm used to this kind of scene.  But this also makes the US military have a more urgent demand for anti-stealth radar early warning aircraft. Lockheed Martin is developing an updated super early warning aircraft based on BB, which can meet the needs of the US military and offset some of the combat power of stealth aircraft. However, it has invested a lot  Troop use is also at least the end of 2 years.

    After the shore-to-ship missiles were knocked out, the Chinese landing fleet immediately launched a landing offensive under the cover of the aircraft carrier fleet.  First of all, the NATO allies do not have many troops stationed on several islands except Guadalcanal. Choiseul Island and New Georgia Island, which have the largest number of defenders, only have about 3,000 defenders. The other islands are basically companies.  Large-scale ground troops guard it.

    Another problem is that the US military and NATO allies do not have much time to build anti-landing fronts on these islands. In fact, they also think that this is not necessary. They have few troops and the islands are too big, and the Chinese will always find their omissions.  Landing is carried out at beachheads, even though landing at those places may be more difficult.

    The Chinese landing fleet chose to work step by step and win one island after another. Even if they are equipped with a large number of Riptide A landing ships, these fast landing ships also need effective escort, otherwise they will become the target of the enemy.  The first target was the long Choiseul Island. This island is covered with dense tropical trees and has basically not been developed. The US military has stationed an infantry brigade here, which is already a headache.  .

    Before the landing, they routinely bombed the US military indiscriminately. Naturally, the US military would not sit back and watch its ground troops be beaten like this. Two US aircraft carriers and the land-based airport on Guadalcanal took off fighter jets to counter the Chinese army's air raids.  In order to cope with China's increasingly severe air challenges, the US military's carrier aviation deployed in Honiara is mainly equipped with B fifth-generation fighters.

    It has been confirmed on previous battlefields that the combat capabilities of the US military's B2 Raptor and B24 Snowcat, two heavy-duty stealth aircraft, are not inferior to China's J-L J-20 (the US military itself believes), and there is even a certain level of vulnerability against the medium-sized J-L Falcon.  Advantages, considering that the main carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese naval aviation is the J-14CN, so in order to gain the advantage on the battlefield, the US military mobilized a small number of B fighters and placed them on the Southwest Pacific battlefield, hoping to play a role  The final word.

    But although it is true that the B Snow Cat is slightly stronger than the J-L Falcon, the gap is not irreparable, especially when a large number of Chinese air defense warships are involved in the battle.  Under information warfare, the early warning aircraft taking off from the Chinese aircraft carrier have already grasped the movements of US military aircraft in advance. The United States does not have anti-stealth early warning aircraft, but China does. The intelligence is fed back to the Aegis ships on the sea and fighter jets in the air, forming a systematic response to B  The blowing effect.

    Although B also has the US military's early warning aircraft to coordinate operations, and it does play a certain role, the main threat is those Tomcats rather than the stealthy Falcon.

    The Chinese pilots flying the Falcon flew over the sea, preparing to fight the enemy. They lowered their heads and glanced at several behemoths floating on the sea. Some people cheered: "Let the American devils have a taste of our power."

    The following is a temporary anti-aircraft surface ship formation, consisting of two Type 0ll arsenal ships, two Type 056 cruisers and four Type 052 destroyers, all Aegis ships.  These two 0lKs are the second version of the dreadnought battleships. Their displacement has exceeded 50,000 tons and they are equipped with more than 700 missiles. Even Chinese pilots feel their scalp numb when they see these things.

    The terrifying warship that dealt with thousands of targets at the same time and attacked hundreds of targets immediately launched a violent and ferocious offensive after obtaining the attack coordinates. The vertical launch unit was like setting off fireworks, and dozens of anti-aircraft missiles rushed in.  High in the sky.

    A large number of anti-aircraft missiles attacked US military aircraft. Although such an attack would not achieve a particularly high hit rate, 9 US military aircraft were still directly shot down by these Thorns anti-aircraft missiles, while the remaining US military aircraft scattered like frightened birds.

    "The long-range air defense missile is the Chinese long-range air defense missile. Please give up the mission. The Chinese air defense firepower is too strong. This is at least the firepower of more than a dozen air defense ships." The US military pilot roared, not knowing what was going on.  In fact, only one ship was attacked.
