Today's South China Sea is indeed treacherous, especially after the short-term conflict in mid March, although China won at a small price, it did not continue to expand its achievements in the face of possible air threats.
After the Vietnam army was slapped and hurt, it was not reconciled and began to encourage the Soviet elder brother stationed in Jinlan bay to support it.
The so-called dog beating also depends on the owner. The Vietnamese army was beaten hard, and the Soviet army also felt that there was no light on the surface, so fighter planes and warships frequently appeared in the conflict area.
The Vietnamese army saw that some people came out for themselves, and began to use armed fishing boats to put pressure on our army, so as to force our army to give up the high-rise houses built on the islands and reefs.
In response to the provocation of external forces, the Navy immediately dispatched several main warships from the north to the South China Sea. At the same time, the air force also began to gather in Panyu province and Qiongdao, in order to cooperate with the naval air force to deal with possible air threats.
With a series of mobilization, a lot of sea and air forces were quickly gathered around Qiongdao.
Due to the continuous action of external forces, the headquarters decided to use the existing sea and air forces in Qiongdao to organize a joint sea and air exercise to warn the restless Soviet and Vietnamese troops in a muscular way.
The eighth sub fleet of the Soviet Pacific Fleet stationed in Jinlan Bay immediately received information about China's organizing large-scale joint air sea exercises.
In response to the opponent's exercise, the Soviets responded very directly by sending reconnaissance ships and planes to the sea area for close reconnaissance.
After all, this sea air joint exercise is a relatively large-scale sea exercise organized by China for so many years. In particular, this exercise highlights sea air joint, which is very rare in China's previous exercises.
Therefore, the Soviets are very interested and hope that through this exercise, we can comprehensively review the achievements of the construction of the sea and air forces of the Chinese army in recent years, evaluate the sea and air strike system of the Chinese army, and explore the existing loopholes.
Of course, if possible, the Soviets would also be happy to see it happen.
However, it depends on the mood of the two Vietnamese officers on the reconnaisance plane refitted from the tu-16 bomber. At least the commander of the reconnaisance plane, Lieutenant Colonel Churkin of the Soviet Navy, thinks so.
After all, it is also the duty of the eldest brother to help the younger brother out.
Because of this, when they got close to the sea area 600 nautical miles southeast of Qiongdao, all kinds of electronic equipment on the reconnaissance plane had been turned on. With the huge roar of the two turbojet engines, the signal of the electronic display device inside the aircraft was a little unstable. However, thanks to the unique system integration ability of the Soviet Union, although all kinds of electronic equipment looked a little cumbersome, their performance was not good But it's not bad.
At least in the first time, they monitored the calls of the Chinese exercise troops.
While turning on the recording equipment, lieutenant commander Churkin looked at major Ruan Yong of the Vietnamese army nearby. He could not help smiling at the beautiful Chinese characters written on the paper with a pen.
In addition to the Treaty of mutual military assistance and exchange between the Soviet army and the Vietnamese army, the most important reason for the arrangement of two Vietnamese officers on the reconnaissance plane is that there are many people in the Vietnamese army who know Chinese.
This major Ruan Yong is one of the best, because he studied and lived in China for five years in his early years. He can not only speak fluent Mandarin, but also master Cantonese and Hakka dialects.
Because of its extraordinary language talent, it was favored by the intelligence agencies of the Soviet Union in Jinlan Bay, and was sent to the monitoring department to specially carry out the monitoring and interpretation of China.
The reconnaissance and surveillance of China's sea air joint exercise is the most important reconnaissance and surveillance task of the Soviet troops in Jinlan Bay in recent years. So when commander Churkin received the task, he immediately asked major Ruan Yong to come over, so that he could grasp the specific situation of China's sea air joint exercise through a human translator.
As a typical nationalist, Ruan Yong didn't reject the possibility of becoming a human translator. Instead, he thought it was very glorious to follow the Soviets to find trouble with the Chinese. He even proposed to Churkin that if he could, he hoped to use the jamming equipment on the tu-16 reconnaissance plane to teach the participating troops a lesson.
Lieutenant commander Churkin agreed very well, and even said that you are the commander's encouragement in this respect, but there is a premise, that is, you can think about these things after finishing the reconnaissance and monitoring task.
Ruan Yong was so flexible and straightforward to lieutenant commander chuerjin. Just because of this, from the moment he boarded the plane, he and his assistants were very seriously familiar with the operation of various equipment. When the equipment was fully opened, a series of obscure Mandarin with different local accents were quickly and quickly transmitted to the reconnaissance plane through the monitoring equipment, Ruan Yong was very happy Busy all the time.
It was not until Churkin asked, that Ruan Yong stopped writing. Then he took the manuscript from his assistant. After a glance, he said in fluent Russian: "according to the monitoring information collected in the past 40 minutes, the Chinese army, which has entered the fourth day of exercise, is finally going to deploy their air power. We are still exploring the specific situation, However, there are preliminary conclusions about the general intention, and the specific ones are all on this paper. "Then Ruan Yong took out one of the manuscripts from his hand and handed it to Qiu Erjin. Qiu Erjin only glanced at it and opened his eyes in surprise. Then he looked at it again and again for two minutes, and then he breathed twice, which calmed some incomprehensible feelings.
Then he frowned and looked at Ruan Yong: "do the Chinese want to engage in a long-range air formation sea raid? Besides, it is also a joint operation of fighters, bombers, electronic warfare aircraft and maritime patrol aircraft. "
Before his words were heard, Churkin's thick brows were deeply wrinkled: "when did the construction of China's aviation power system become so high? Can we do multi aircraft joint operations? "
It's no wonder that lieutenant colonel Churkin has such doubts that the joint action of multiple aircraft types does not mean that the joint formation of different types of aircraft will end in a mighty flight. Instead, different aircraft types need to cooperate and coordinate with each other in different mission areas, so as to form a fist.
Otherwise, it's a mess of loose sand. Let alone carrying out the mission, it may be swallowed up by the other party's air defense forces before it flies to the place.
Because of this, if we want to combine different aircraft types and give full play to their advantages, we must have a strong command system as support. The question is, does the Chinese army have such a command system?
Ruan Yong was aware of commander Qiu Erjin's doubts for the first time and didn't answer. He stretched out his hand to adjust the recording equipment in front of him, and then pressed the fast button. There came a burst of words with Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent. Qiu Erjin was confused and subconsciously looked at Ruan Yong.
Ruan Yong grinned and said with disdain: "this is the commander of their aviation forces. He said that they should form a good formation, fly over and shoot the missiles out, which means that their formation, just like in World War II, only does the established strike, and has no flexible emergency measures."
When chuerjin heard the speech, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Comrade Ruan Yong, what do you mean..."
"Of course, in their weakest link, stab them!" Ruan Yong is still smiling, but the smile is more and more gloomy.
