In the crowded cockpit, the Tang Army pilot, who was fully equipped and wearing a helmet, was checking the equipment in front of him.
This is a new set of equipment, and this operation is also the first time in the history of this planet that satellite positioning and navigation technology is used to guide an aircraft to perform a mission.
As a navigator, he was very nervous. After all, this mission was the first time that the Tang bomber force flew over Wuyang, the capital of Qin, to drop bombs.
No one knows whether Wuyang has a large number of anti-aircraft guns, or whether the Qin people will go crazy and take off enough fighter jets to intercept them.
So, the navigator looked at the coordinates and said to the pilot: "I said, you should have seen that city."
"Yes, I can see it very clearly." The pilot's vision is obviously better than that of the navigator. After all, this is an A-6 attack aircraft, a light frontline bomber of the Tang Air Force, using the same model of Intruder as the navy.
This is to take care of the production line, and it is also a final compromise from the perspective of unifying parts and simplifying logistics. The air force of the lighthouse country uses F-111 bombers to perform tactical bombing missions, but Tang Mo did not come up with the drawings for mass production of this bomber.
of.
The Tang Army has always used the TU-16 with relatively backward performance, that is, the H-6 bomber as its "strategic bomber." The tactical bomber Air Force and Navy share the same A-6 aircraft.
As for frontline tactical support aircraft, the Tang Army uses A-10 attack aircraft, and is also equipped with a large number of armed helicopters to supplement them.
Of course, armed helicopters are attached to the Army, and their command is not managed by the Air Force. Therefore, the Tang Air Force actually has very few tactical bombers for bombing missions, and there is only one type, the A-6 Intruder.
As for why the larger and more deterrent H-6 was not used in this bombing, it was because the H-6 was too expensive and most of Qin's airports did not meet the take-off and landing standards of the H-6.
Rectification and repairs took time, and the Qin army retreated so quickly that many airports were waiting to improve facilities for large aircraft to take off and land, unable to take off much more delicate large bombers.
The A6 is actually quite squeamish. After all, this thing is produced for the Navy, and its diagonally lower air intake itself is not prepared for field airports.
But it was smaller after all, so the engineers of the Tang Army rushed to repair an airport with relatively good conditions in Guangmian, which was previously a high-standard airport prepared by the Qin Army for its own jets.
After a lot of efforts, the Tang Army finally made the airport meet the conditions for the takeoff and landing of the invaders, and then assembled a formation of invader attack aircraft and asked them to carry out a deterrent bombing on Wuyang as soon as possible.
Escorting these invaders were the J-7 troops taking off from the front. Because they were worried that the Qin Air Force might come out in force to intercept the Tang bomber formation, the Tang Army also arranged a large number of fighter jets to be ready.
As a result, above these intruder attack aircraft carrying large amounts of bombs, there were at least 40 J-7 fighter jets waiting for their prey to come to them.
However, they still overestimated their opponents. Due to the chaos and the electronic suppression of the Tang army, the Qin State actually did not prepare any countermeasures at all.
The airports around Wuyang were in chaos, and at least half of the radar stations near Wuyang did not have the guts to turn on their engines: because the Qin State had confirmed that the Tang State had a missile that could track radar signals and accurately hit the radar.
Many of Qin's radar stations are basically shut down, and will only be turned on to expose themselves unless ordered to do so. There is nothing that can be done about this, because most of them are fixed facilities, and their survival rate is indeed very low, and shutting down to protect themselves is not possible.
It's not a matter of greed for life and fear of death.
You know, equipment purchased or produced with hundreds of thousands of gold coins can be easily lost, which is a waste in itself, right?
Not to mention the Qin Air Force. They had no idea that the Tang Army was attacking, so naturally they couldn't make any response.
What's more, they didn't have the ability to take off planes at all: some of the pilots were packed up and given to the Tang army in Guangmian and became prisoners of the Tang Dynasty. Others were still training newbies in the rear and had no time to join the battle near Wuyang.
The aircraft in the hands of the pilots deployed in Wuyang are even more embarrassing: the jet fighters are either lost on the front line or hidden in the rear. Almost all of the jet fighters parked in Wuyang Airport are P-40 fighter jets.
This thing is used to intercept intruders... it's a bit funny. They are not a product of the same era. It is really too cruel to force propeller fighters to take off for combat.
"Come on! You can give them a surprise." The bombardier driving the invader "bomber" opened the weapon safety.
In his field of vision, a huge city was gradually approaching, with dark buildings spread out along the roads, which looked very spectacular.
"I hope Qin State is already prepared." The pilot driving the plane maintained the altitude of his plane and maintained the formation.
"Start bombing!" The bombardier pressed the button to release bombs, and the bombs hung under the wings of the A6 attack aircraft fell one by one.
The wind sorted out these bombs, dispersed them, and gradually fell head-first. The subsequent planes began to drop bombs, and a rain of bombs bloomed in the sky above Wuyang.
The sound of jet engines resounded across the sky, followed by a series of explosions in Wuyang City. Black smoke pillars rose into the sky, and then the air defense sirens sounded heartbreakingly.
The building collapsed in the explosion of the bomb, and the sight of dozens of Tang Air Force bomber formations flying over Wuyang City was clearly seen by Qin Air Force Commander Zhang Tuo, who had just left the palace and was about to return to his air force headquarters.
He looked up and saw the Tang bombers flying over Wuyang, and also saw the bombs that fell in the city.
The raindrop-like bombs gave him the most immediate shock, followed by the shaking of the earth and the dust raised by the collapse and collapse of the buildings, which gradually spread throughout the city.
At this moment, Zhang Tuo didn't even have any trouble in his heart, because he had already known that such a day would come. But he really didn't expect that everything would happen so quickly.
"Let your majesty take refuge in the bunker..." Prime Minister Ying Ke, who still had one foot in the hall, turned around and ordered the helpless Forbidden Army soldiers: "Keep your majesty safe!"
"Yes!" The officer on duty in the main hall responded gratefully, and then hurried to the back hall with a few guards to find Ying Duo.
However, it was obvious that the Tang army did not prepare to bomb the palace in Wuyang, and the bombs basically fell in the south of the city, where most of Wuyang's factories were concentrated.
