Chapter 1068 Unsatisfactory Combat Results

The sky was getting brighter, but the command center was still brightly lit.Lei Zhan and Jiang Chen were both red-eyed and smoking while paying attention to the changes on the sand table.Although everyone has been busy all night, and some people have even been busy for several nights, but at this time, everyone is not sleepy at all, because they are waiting for the battle report from the front line.

Soon, a staff officer came to Lei Zhan with a document and said, "Chief, the report is out."

Oh, Lei Zhan looked up at this document and was about to reach out to take it, but when he saw everyone's eyes, he looked back and said, "You read it, let everyone listen."

"Yes!" The staff officer nodded and then unfolded the document and read it to everyone: "Report from the forward combat command: After the heroic fighting of our various departments, as of 70.00:[-] in the morning, our combat troops have taken back the Nanban invaded by this sea area." [-]% of the islands and reefs have basically achieved the combat objectives. The remaining islands and reefs are still under the tenacious defense of the Nanban troops, and we are currently organizing troops to step up the removal of the remaining enemies on these remaining islands."

"Papa papa,,, good!" Everyone in the command center applauded excitedly when they heard the news.It can be seen that they have suppressed it for a long time, and now the battle plan is basically successful, so how can they be unhappy.As for Lei Zhan, after hearing the news, he even took over the chief of staff's document and read it himself, with a joyful expression on his face.As for Jiang Chen, he sat on the chair and relaxed. He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that his plan has also succeeded. In this way, we may not be so passive in this sea area in the future.It will not prevent future generations from being overwhelmed by these small countries, so that they finally make up their minds to build several islands in this sea area to control the situation.

After Lei Zhan finished reading it, he handed the document to Jiang Chen and said, "You have a look too."

After Jiang Chen took the file, he looked at it for a while and then passed the file to others.Lei Zhan looked at Jiang Chen and said, "What do you think?"

Jiang Chen looked at the sand table in the middle and said, "The rest are either too far away, have not been taken care of, or are hard bones that have not been gnawed. Now that the sky has dawned and the news has been leaked, it is not expected that there will be too many." After a long time, reinforcements from the Nanban will arrive. So we need to resolve the battle within this time, and then conduct a comprehensive defense. However, judging from the current situation, we want to clear all the islands and reefs of the Nanban in this sea area in a short time Strongholds are impossible. So we can only choose islands with high value and important strategic locations as priority targets.”

Lei Zhan nodded and said in a loud voice: "Order, the frontline command must seize the time to conquer the remaining important islands and reefs, and must be captured before this evening. The fighter planes at the ** island field airport took off to investigate and guard the sea area. In addition, other fighter planes must be ready to take off at any time, and anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft guns must be prepared accordingly to deal with other incoming enemies."

"Yes!" A staff officer responded and quickly began to issue relevant orders.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen continued: "Even if the defense work of these islands has been recovered, this cannot be relaxed. Not only must the enemy's large-scale landing and shelling be prevented, but small-scale army raids must also be prevented. Nanban is very important in this regard. We have experience, so we can't underestimate it, let alone relax our vigilance. I suggest stationing special operations teams on important islands to deal with emergencies. In addition, the twelve Little Bird helicopters we planned before should be deployed quickly. Because of the interconnection and related support between these islands, there is also the strengthening of patrols in this area of ​​the sea. Defeating is only the first step. How to defend and how to hold it for a long time is the primary task before us.”

"Well, I will do as you said. Regarding the twelve helicopters, what is the current situation." Lei Zhan turned his head and asked other personnel.

A staff officer stood up and replied: "Report, twelve helicopters and related pilots and maintenance personnel arrived at the Qiongdao military port yesterday afternoon. They have been loaded and shipped, and they are expected to reach this combat sea area by tomorrow night. The task can be carried out soon after dawn."

Lei Zhan frowned and said, "It's too slow, I want them to appear over the relevant waters tomorrow morning."

"Chief, this,,," the staff officer was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen said to the staff officer: "You let the transport fleet stop at the pier of our relay material transfer island in our West Key Islands. Unload all the helicopters, and then let the pilots fly the planes and stay in the The aircraft maintenance personnel take off from the relay island and head to the target combat sea area. Then notify the forward command to coordinate the transition work on the passing route islands, and ask them to prepare fuel and corresponding supplies to ensure that the aircraft can reach the combat sea area as soon as possible.”

"Yes!" The staff officer replied and went to make arrangements.Jiang Chen turned to Lei Zhan and said, "These twelve planes are road-based models, and they are not very suitable for flying at sea. Because we need them urgently, the engineers only modified them. It makes them adapt to flying at sea. Even so, the modification at sea will not last long. In the future, in the face of relevant flight missions in this sea area, special aircraft will be needed to perform at sea. And , It is definitely not enough to rely on helicopters alone, and many fixed-wing patrol aircraft and transport aircraft with relatively long ranges are needed."

Lei Zhan nodded and said: "We all understand this, but according to our current situation, these twelve planes can only be used as an emergency. Compared with the whole plan, these twelve planes are a bit insignificant. However, your side should also step up the production of sea-based version of the Little Bird helicopter specially used for sea flight, for future related missions.”

"Don't worry, I've already given the order. The morale of our company's researchers is high, and we will strive to complete the relevant improved design as soon as possible and put it into production." Jiang Chen replied with a smile.Although the sea-based version and the road-based version are both developed from prototypes, there are still differences in many performances.For example, an important issue considered by the sea-based version of the aircraft is the airtightness and corrosion resistance of the aircraft fuselage.You must know that in this humid, high-temperature, high-saline environment, there is a very strict test for the performance of the aircraft.If land-based aircraft perform missions at sea without any modification, then it will not take long for these road-based aircraft to be scrapped.

"Very well, their hard work will not be in vain, we will give them credit. In addition, you should pay more attention to the material guarantee and subsidies, so as not to chill these people." Lei Zhan looked at Jiang Chen and ordered road.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task." Jiang Chen saluted Lei Zhan.

"You, hahahaha,,," Lei Zhan laughed out loud upon hearing this.
