Marshal Halsey thought that the airtight anti-aircraft gun positions had not achieved any great results, because as the performance of laser-guided bombs became better and better, attack aircraft no longer had to enter dangerous low-altitude bombings. At an altitude of eight thousand meters,
Rows of guided bombs were thrown down from the air. The destroyers of the Axis fleet knew that their opponents were all guided bombs. They immediately opened their tinfoil dispensers and sprayed tinfoil strips desperately in an attempt to prevent the bomb attack.
Laser-guided bombs are different from infrared guidance and radar guidance. They are not interfered by tin foil strips at all. Countless bombs passed through the defense of tin foil strips and accurately hit the Axis warships. The biggest target of aircraft carriers is naturally
The preferred target for laser-guided bombs is that aircraft carriers without carrier-based aircraft are useless. At this time, everyone is busy with air defense, and no one cares about these aircraft carriers without carrier-based aircraft, and the anti-aircraft guns on the aircraft carrier are the least.
, so these aircraft carriers were destroyed one after another under the attack of bombs. In a short time, more than 20 aircraft carriers were sunk.
After all, air defense is a passive defense. How can even the most intensive air defense artillery fire prevent every bomb attack? Under the intensive bomb attack, each ship caught fire and sank one after another, and the port facilities were also partially damaged.
Perhaps they still felt that the Axis fleet was not miserable enough, and soon bombers from the Chinese Air Force came to join in the fun. A large number of Kunpeng 3 bombers, Albatross dive bombers, and Vulture 1 and Vulture 2 attack aircraft came out one after another. They all launched with the maximum bomb load.
The force took off and rushed towards the ports of the Axis powers.
The Chinese Air Force bullied the Axis Air Force into annihilation. They pounced on them without even escorting fighter jets. Army aviation aircraft are not comparable to carrier-based aircraft. They have no runway length restrictions, and the aircraft they designed have a much higher bomb load.
, especially the Kunpeng 3 bomber, as the main strategic bomber of the Chinese Empire, its bomb load can only be described as terrifying.
The air force's dense bombs fell like pouring water. They didn't even use guided bombs and directly carried out carpet bombing. The air force's participation in the war accelerated the demise of Halsey's fleet. The battle only lasted for an hour. The Axis powers anchored in various ports
The fleet suffered a total annihilation, and all the troops sank at their berths.
After destroying the navy of the Axis Powers, the Chinese Empire did not stop. Cruise missiles and large-caliber naval guns of battleships began to exert their power, bombarding various Axis facilities along the coast and in depth. Without the protection of the naval fleet, the Axis forces
Having to set up defenses everywhere further weakened the Axis group's forces, especially the Iron Blood troops that landed in the Kingdom of Cerro. Although they were small in number, Howell felt like a thorn in his back.
The troops on the front line were quietly withdrawn to consolidate the increasingly unstable rear and the crisis-ridden coastline. The troops in Howell's hands were soon reduced to more than six million. What he didn't know was that on the opposite side, the Chinese Empire
On the battlefield, the number of troops continued to increase.
At this time, within the front line of the Chinese Imperial Army in the Kharkov area, the Iron-Blooded Army of the four group armies are in full swing. They will start a full-scale counterattack tonight. And behind the army, fifteen wings of the Iron-Blooded Army Air Force
The 51st Wing of the Imperial Air Force is also making intense preparations, and all aircraft are undergoing maintenance to prevent malfunctions during the battle.
At three o'clock in the night, all the airports of the Chinese Air Force were brightly lit, and planes began to slide onto the runway. Now, the planes equipped by various armies of the Chinese Empire, whether they are Golden Eagle 4C or Golden Eagle 5 of the National Defense Forces and Guards,
, Kunpeng 3, or the Iron-Blooded Army's Golden Eagle 6, Vulture 3 and Kunpeng 4, all have complete radar systems. For night flights, as long as you pay attention to the instrument data, you can fly easily, not to mention the latest helmet sights equipped for pilots
It comes with infrared night vision function, allowing them to see clearly in the dark.
The Imperial Chinese Air Force took off more than 5,000 aircraft without any hindrance in the dark night. They formed more than 100 formations and rushed to their respective goals. This was a unique day in the history of the Chinese Imperial Air Force. It not only dispatched the most combat aircraft
This was also the first joint operation between the Iron Blood Air Force and the Imperial Air Force.
At this moment, their opponents stayed on the ground honestly, because although the Axis powers also had many aircraft in this area, they were unable to take off for combat because they did not have the ability to fight at night. Moreover, the radar and communications on the battlefield had long been electronically controlled.
The war planes interfered and became blind. The Axis military did not realize that the danger was approaching.
"Attention everyone, we have arrived at the target and are ready to start the attack." Gao Yi, who has been promoted to captain, issued an order to his team members while operating a Golden Eagle 6 fighter jet.
"Understood." Squad leader Zhou Pingfeng agreed loudly. He had already skillfully locked the airport tower with radar.
"Start the attack." Gao Yi said, and he was the first to press the button. A laser-guided bomb detached from the pylon and flew towards the aircraft nest at the end of the runway. There was a loud bang and the solid aircraft nest was directly penetrated.
, the two F104 aircraft parked inside were blown into a pile of scrap metal.
Golden Eagle 6 fighter jets dived one after another, dropping various bombs on the Axis military airport. Although the Axis anti-aircraft artillery units tried their best to stop it, the advanced Golden Eagle 6 fighter jets still completed the mission brilliantly.
Mission. Soon a bomb was thrown into the oil depot, and the entire airport suddenly burst into flames. The fire illuminated the fleeing Axis soldiers. The soldiers of the Iron Blood Air Force immediately lowered the nose of the aircraft and faced the enemies running around.
Scan like crazy.
More than thirty airports close to the front line were attacked almost simultaneously. These airports were destroyed by intensive bombs, but they were not the ones who were really unlucky. A dozen Kunpeng 4 bombers were flying high in the sky, and their target tonight was the Five-Star
General Howell's headquarters and the barracks of an army group nearby.
The Kunpeng 4 strategic bomber is the best strategic bomber of the Iron Blood Army. This giant aircraft is 49 meters long and has a wingspan of 56 meters. It has eight turbofan engines, each with a power of 7,000 horsepower and a continuous flight time of 10 years.
Nine hours, a maximum speed of 909 kilometers per hour, and a flight radius of 7,400 kilometers.
The most important indicator of a bomber is naturally its bomb load. The eight-engine Kunpeng 4 bomber is naturally very outstanding in this regard. Not only is it equipped with various radar systems, it can also carry twenty-seven tons of bombs. It can be said to have a large capacity.
With such a large bomb load, the bombing effect is naturally quite good.
