Chapter 239: The Air Force Prepares as the Three-Nation Alliance Assemblages
Guangzhou, the capital of Lingnan Province, is also an important economic center in China after Shanghai.
The newly appointed Governor of Liangling vigorously developed the economy and laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Guangzhou.
However, the Governor of Liangling is still living overseas and dares not return to his country.
With the establishment of the new SAARC government, Guangzhou now seems to have become more lively and prosperous, but also more chaotic.
After more than a month, the troops drawn from John, Gaul and Fuso began to gather in Guangzhou one after another.
The coalition headquarters was established in Guangzhou.
This coalition command is under the jurisdiction of the armies of the four countries of Southern Alliance, John, Gaul and Fuso.
Among them, an army general transferred by John from the White Elephant was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and the other three countries each appointed a general as deputy commander.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Three Kingdoms gathered in Yangcheng, bringing chaos to the city.
The army of the Fuso Empire was slightly more restrained and its discipline was obviously better than that of the colonial armies of John and Gaul.
After the armies of these two countries arrived in Guangzhou, incidents such as eating and drinking without paying, smashing shops, and looting women on the streets became frequent.
They did not regard the ancient people as human beings at all, but as playthings in their hands.
Wu Zhichang was actually very angry, but he could only endure it.
After all, he still needs to rely on John and Gaul to stand between the two ridges.
Therefore, we could only turn a blind eye to these colonial troops who were wreaking havoc on Guangzhou.
This is actually related to the suggestion of the Allied Commander, Army General Charles.
John also suffered several losses at the hands of the Restoration Army.
However, the Renaissance Army is very powerful and they have no way to deal with it.
So when he arrived in Guangzhou, Army General Charles ordered his colonial troops to wreak havoc in Guangzhou, which was also a way to vent his anger.
"Your Excellency General Charles, our last division will land in the early morning hours and will be able to head north tomorrow."
In the joint command center in Yangcheng, General Miyamoto of the Fuso Empire Army spoke to General Charles of the Army who was studying the battle plan.
Miyamoto Kyoaki once served as the chief guard of the previous emperor and participated in many wars, so he has rich combat experience.
Therefore, he was appointed by Emperor Tamehito as the commander-in-chief of the Ancient Country Expeditionary Army.
The Fuso Empire dispatched the largest number of troops among the three kingdoms this time, and because they needed to avoid the Fuxing Army's fleet, they arrived in Guangzhou the latest.
General Charles put down the plan in his hand, nodded and said, "That's great, then let's set off at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The ancient people are unreliable. Their army's combat effectiveness is too poor. They are no match for the Renaissance Army at all, and the troops we can dispatch are too few.
Therefore, the important task of stopping the Fuxing Army from advancing south can only be entrusted to you."
The Southern Alliance Army is no match for the Restoration Army.
In General Charles's view, it was an unreliable force.
The only advantage may be the large number of people.
Although the Fuso army's equipment is not good, even worse than the current equipment of the Southern Alliance, its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Southern Alliance army.
This is also the main reason why they brought the Fuso people here.
As for the troops they drew from the colonies, most of the time they were just for show.
Don't expect it to be of much use.
Admiral Charles is very self-aware of this.
Take the troops they mobilized this time for example.
Although there are three infantry divisions and two infantry brigades with more than 50,000 people.
But except for some officers, all the soldiers in three of the infantry divisions were White Elephant people.
Their fighting ability can be described as horrific, but for some reason they have a mysterious confidence.
He had been at White Elephant for three years, but still couldn't figure out what was going on with their thought processes.
In his opinion, their elite Royal Infantry Brigade could defeat the troops of these three divisions.
Therefore, the only real combat-capable troops on their side were two royal infantry brigades of more than 10,000 people.
The same is true in Gaul. In addition to the infantry brigade and artillery regiment, another division was also formed by the Annan puppet army.
The combat effectiveness is slightly better than that of the White Elephant Division, but it is about the same.
Therefore, among the coalition forces composed of the four countries, the only ones who could really fight were the Fuso army of more than 200,000.
After hearing what General Charles said, Miyamoto Qiaoliang raised his lips slightly and nodded, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency. The entire Imperial Army is determined to seek revenge. We will definitely make the Restoration Army suffer a bloody defeat under our guns and cannons."
The two ridges are mountainous, making it difficult for the Fuxing Army's armored forces to deploy, but the terrain is a huge advantage for the defenders.
This is also the confidence of Army General Miyamoto Yoshiaki.
As for the Renaissance Army's air superiority? They are not afraid either.
Because all of their divisions have added a regiment, which is the field air defense regiment, equipped with hundreds of large and small anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.
When facing the Fuxing Army Air Force, they were not without the ability to fight back.
Shangjing, Taiye Lake, Yinian Hall!
Air Force Commander General Situ Fei walked in with Eva, holding a file bag.
"Commander Situ, who never comes to visit for no reason, is here. Please take a seat!"
After hearing the footsteps, Jiang Hua, who was buried in his desk and writing furiously, raised his head and teased Situ Fei.
Situ Fei raised the file bag in his hand and said with a smile: "The chairman really understands me. I came to you this time because I really have something important to report."
After saying that, he placed the file bag directly on Jiang Hua's desk.
This file bag contains intelligence, battle plans, and photos.
These intelligence and photos are naturally related to the Triple Alliance.
Situ Fei nodded and said, "According to our aerial photos, the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Three Kingdoms should have almost arrived."
After reviewing the intelligence and photos, Jiang Hua looked at Situ Fei and asked, "Is your air force ready?"
"Everyone's been waiting for this day."
The day they were waiting for was the day when the allied forces of the three countries gathered together.
Otherwise, the Air Force would have launched bombing on Guangzhou long ago. How could there be no movement at all?
"Then blow it up!"
Jiang Hua directly signed his name on the Air Index Plan No. 104.
After seeing Jiang Hua sign his name, Situ Fei smiled and said, "Chairman, just wait for good news from our Air Force.
This time, I will definitely teach them a profound lesson."
The content of Air Command Operation Plan No. 104 can be summed up in one word: bomb!
此次将出动B-45、B-66战术轰炸机航空旅12个，图-16中型轰炸机航空旅8个、B-52战略轰炸机航空旅4个。
The bomber aviation brigade still maintains the standard establishment of 93 aircraft.
Among them, the B-66 tactical bomber is a new bomber in service with the Air Force.
This bomber was chosen by the Air Force after the EB-66 electronic warfare aircraft entered service, and was used to replace the B-45 tactical bomber.
But the B-45 tactical bomber also had good performance and had been in service for only a short time.
So just mix them together.
The B-66 tactical bomber has a maximum take-off weight of 37 tons and is equipped with two J4.4 turbojet engines with a power of 71 tons.
The maximum flight speed is 950 kilometers per hour, the maximum range is 2400 kilometers, and the maximum bomb load is 6.8 tons.
In terms of performance alone, it is certainly not as good as the B-45, but it was released later and has more advanced avionics equipment.
Equipped with APS-27 and K-5 bombing/navigation radars, its bombing accuracy is much higher than that of the B-45.
For these two types of bombers alone, the Air Force dispatched 12 aviation brigades, totaling 1116 aircraft.
The entire Air Force is currently equipped with a total of 20 tactical bomber aviation brigades.
This time, a total of 12 were dispatched.
Not to mention the Tu-16 medium bomber, which has a total of 8 aircraft in 744 aviation brigades.
The entire Air Force is equipped with a total of 12 medium bomber aviation brigades, and 8 of them came this time.
The heavyweight B-52 strategic bomber is equipped with a total of four due to current demand and maintenance costs.
This time, all four strategic bomber aviation brigades came, totaling 372 aircraft.
The total number of bombers in these 24 bomber aviation brigades is 2232.
It accounts for two-thirds of the Air Force's bombers.
From this scale, we can see how big the bombing was.
It was much larger than the previous largest bombing of Xijing.
No wonder Situ Fei said that he would teach the Three Kingdoms Alliance a profound lesson.
In terms of scale, it is enough to raze a metropolis of one million people to the ground.
However, the Air Force will certainly not be so crazy as to raze Guangzhou to the ground. After all, this is their own territory.
This bombing was only aimed at the Triple Alliance.
Bombing is actually only one of the purposes of the Air Force.
Another deeper purpose is deterrence.
Show the power directly and clearly in front of them, and tell them that if they get involved in the civil war of the ancient country, they will have to pay an unbearable price.
This time the bombing is targeting their troops, but the next bombing target may not be certain.
Just when the Renaissance Army was preparing to deal the final blow to the Southern Alliance.
A certain force also began to stir.
This force is not Tsarist Russia.
For some unknown reason, Tsarist Russia did not launch an offensive after the spring snow melted, as if it was waiting for something.
The attitude of the Far East Military Region is to deal with them as soon as the south has time.
This force is none other than the Northwest Sima Army in the country.
