Like the "Sentinel", "Flying Fortress" are strategic weapons of the National Defense Forces. Strategic weapons should play a strategic role, and in the "Sky Fire" operation, the "Flying Fortress" does play a strategic role, directly affecting the battle situation!

The ultra-long range and huge bomb load of the "Flying Fortress" long-range heavy bomber has provided the possibility for Kang Fan's future war concept to "let the fire burn on enemy territory." The "Sky Fire" combat plan is to use this bomber

Proactively carry out strategic goals of the multi-national coalition forces in the Suez Canal area of ​​Egypt and North Africa, actively attack long-range air, undermine their strategic deployment, reduce the defensive pressure of Egypt, and further frustrate the fighting will of the coalition forces.

After the baptism of World War I, the current coalition air force has become very large in scale and has made great progress in technology. However, various types of combat aircraft are still primitive compared to those of the National Wehrmacht. Anti-aircraft guns for air defense have also been used for air defense.

In practice, but poor performance, it does not pose much threat to the combat aircraft of the National Defense Forces. Moreover, the most fatal point is that they do not know how to manufacture radars that can detect aircraft at long distances all-weather, and the means of discovering aircraft are limited to viewing with human eyes.

, human ears go and listen.

Therefore, it is still safe and easy for the pilots of the National Defense Forces to dispatch advanced "flying fortresses" to conduct air strikes on them.

On March 2, 1923, the coalition forces in the Suez Canal District of Egypt first tasted the trouble of the new strike method of the National Defense Forces - long-range aerial bombing! Each of the 36 "flying fortresses" stationed at the Masawa base was loaded.

16 high-explosive bombs of 250 kilograms and 20 incendiary bombs of 120 kilograms, lined up in intensive combat formations and blew up the Suez Canal area coalition ground to the sky at a bombing height of 3 kilometers!

This sudden air strike was launched at sunny noon. After nearly 6 hours of long flight, the "Flying Fortress" brigade reached the target at around 13 noon that day. At this time, the Suez Canal area was clear and clear.

, in the scorching sun, all pre-calibrated bombing targets on the ground are completely exposed in the arid desert terrain. Therefore, the bombing effect is of course quite ideal.

According to the subsequent reconnaissance photos, the losses of the coalition forces can only be described as "hard". The originally tents, piles of military supplies, and groups of tanks, artillery, etc. were almost gone. Because the attack came too suddenly

The combat aircraft deployed by the coalition forces in the canal area disappeared into the thick smoke and fire without any reaction. When the ground high-fire firepower launched a counterattack, the "Flying Fortress" brigade had already dropped all the bombs and returned lightly.

Since then, the "Sky Fire" operation has been launched on a large scale, and the coalition's various military targets in North Africa have been devastating air bombings that are unable to effectively counterattack, which has enabled them to achieve phased results after long-term and arduous efforts.

The preparations for war have returned to the starting point and there is no possibility of recovery, which has led to its delay in organizing an offensive against Egypt. During this period, the Defence Force's Xindidao Naval Base was fully put into use and began to prepare for combat duty.

It is gratifying that the Chinese people seem to have forgotten that the war is going on, because they cannot feel the atmosphere and influence of the war. The distant war that took place on the distant battlefield becomes more and more distant as time goes by, and

They also know that if you want to contribute to this war, you have to start with me, work hard and live a good life.

As the number of attacks increased, the "flying fortress" began to appear, but the powerful Chinese aviation industry quickly produced more "flying fortresses", which increased the number of aircraft in the "flying fortress" brigade.

, and finally maintained around 90 aircraft. In this way, Massawa Airlines Airport could not accommodate all so many big guys. While the airport was being expanded urgently, nearly half of the "flying fortresses" could only squeeze out the distance.

HNA Airport is not far away.

As time goes by, the coalition forces are not as helpless as they were in the beginning when facing the new attack method of the National Defense Forces. Military technology has made rapid progress under the strong stimulation of the war, making the coalition forces more and more counterattack methods, fighter jets and anti-aircraft guns

, anti-aircraft machine guns, searchlights and other air defense weapons and equipment are getting better and better. But overall, the "Flying Fortress" brigade still has a huge technological advantage. Most of the coalition combat aircraft were wiped out in the initial air strikes of the National Defense Forces.

On the ground, a few fighter jets that can take off the air to intercept the "flying fortress" at an altitude of 10,000 meters is simply a dream!

Because the coalition fighter jets are far from the "Flying Fortress" in terms of speed, altitude, maneuverability and firepower, the pure gap between sparrows and eagles. The coalition fighter jets can only be when the "Flying Fortress" drops to a bomb drop height of 3 kilometers.

Only then can there be a short-term attack opportunity. At this height, if you want to attack the solid and huge "flying fortress", the 7.62mm machine gun on the coalition fighter jet is simply scratching the surface, and the coalition fighter jets are facing the "flying fortress" formation.

When a fierce fire defense net is like a moth to a fire, it is no different from suicide. In this case, it must be achieved by correctly choosing the advance quantity and cutting angle.

"The chance, otherwise, the "flying fortress" with a speed of 3 times their will not be waiting for them.

Despite this, the "flying fortress" still occurred one after another. Among them, mechanical failures and operational errors accounted for most, and the rest were destroyed by the coalition's ground air defense firepower, which was really shot down by the coalition fighter jets in the air.

There is no frame either.

Although the overall attack loss rate of the "Flying Fortress" is less than one percent and is still within the affordable range, it will still lose pilots, which is what makes Kang Fan the most worried.

If the crew members on the "Flying Fortress" shot down in the coalition airspace were not killed randomly, they would not be able to escape the end of being captured even if they successfully landed on the ground by parachutes. Each crew member of the "Flying Fortress" was the National Defense Forces

Their value is not equivalent to ordinary officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces. To train a qualified pilot is a time-consuming, labor-intensive and cost-effective project, and if he has practical experience, he will be more

For the sake of preciousness, therefore, all branches of the National Defense Forces are trying their best to rescue them.

Under such circumstances, Lieutenant Gao Xiang stood up like a hero, which made Kang Fan deeply grateful for his actions of pleading for him!

In order to prevent military technology from leaking, the crew members on the hit "Flying Fortress" will start the self-destruction procedure of the aircraft when the aircraft cannot be saved, and blow up the entire aircraft to prevent the coalition military from experiencing the

"Flying Fortresses" perform technical plagiarism to improve their aerospace industry level.

But there was a slightest bit of information. On May 3, a "flying fortress" numbered lh-10026 was hit by the engine by the coalition anti-aircraft artillery during the mission. After trying his best to save the crew members, they flew over the Red Sea.

Finally it was uncontrollable, the captain immediately activated the self-destruction program, and all crew members left the plane to jump off the plane. Unfortunately, the self-destruction program of the lh-10026 failed to start, and did not detonate within the specified time, landed on the Red Sea.

The crew members watched helplessly as only one engine was still running, flying tenaciously under the control of the onboard autopilot, disappearing crookedly over the boundless desert of the Arabian Peninsula on the east coast of the Red Sea.

A "Sea Eagle-B" patrol aircraft numbered by HH-30123 from the National Defense Forces Navy Force, which is performing a search and rescue mission over the Red Sea, received a radio distress signal from the crew members on board LH-10026, and then flew at high speed.

The sea area was rescued and successfully rescued all other crew members of the lh-10026 aircraft except the captain.

The "Flying Fortress" is equipped with a single-person automatic inflatable rubber life raft for each crew member. The crew members who fall in the sea can sit safely and comfortably in the life raft and drift waiting for rescue. The individual radio launch used for helping

The machine is only equipped with 2 units, one is used and one is used as a backup. After seeing that the lh-10026 machine did not detonate normally, the captain ordered other crew members to wait for rescue on the spot, paddled a life raft and carried a backup radio

The transmitter went ashore to find his own landline, intending to complete the self-destruction procedure again, and disappeared from now on.

The other crew members rescued asked the HH-30123 to find the missing captain, but the HH-30123 had already performed more than 8 hours of flight missions over the Red Sea before, and the fuel was about to run out. There was nothing we could do, and there was only regret.

The crew members returned to the crying.

During the return journey, the hh-30123 plane asked for help from all the National Defense Forces aircraft that were performing flight missions through radio, and Lieutenant Gao Xiang was lucky enough to patrol nearby sea and airplanes. So an opportunity to make him a hero appeared.

Since almost all the air force fighters in the Suez Canal area were wiped out on the ground by the devastating air strikes of the "flying fortress", it would take a long time to transport the fighter jets from the country through sea transportation. Furthermore, even if these active fighters were in service, they would take a long time to transport the fighter jets here.

It can be transported in time, and with their poor performance, it can only be a living target when fighting against the unimaginable advanced fighter jets of the National Defense Forces. It will take some time for the new fighter jets to develop combat effectiveness and equipment scale. Therefore, the coalition forces are currently

It just blindly strengthened the ground air defense firepower and frantically transported a large number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to Egypt to fight against the air strikes of the National Defense Forces. This led to the fact that the coalition forces in the Suez Canal area did not have ready-made fighter jets available! They could only helplessly put

The sky in North Africa was handed over to the National Defense Forces and was beaten passively.

After becoming the ace pilot, Lieutenant Gao's desire to fight became stronger. During this period, although he was very diligent in flying planes every day, he never encountered a coalition fighter jet again. He was so depressed!

On May 3, he had already attacked once. After returning to the "Xinjiang" aircraft carrier empty-handed, he planned to rest, but suddenly changed his mind and decided to fly another trip and try his luck. He drove again after lunch.
Chapter completed!
