Chapter 1855: Air Raid

In addition to accepting Zheng Shuming and others, they are also making preparations for today's operations; today, the aircraft carrier's bomber and fighter formations will be dispatched in a large way, and on this day, they will take off 1,000 sorties to carry out devastating bombing of 12 stations and 20 small towns in the hinterland of the United States, so that they will not be able to influence the actions of saboteurs and special forces as much as possible.

As China's most powerful maritime attack weapon, the aircraft carrier did not realize this, he was on the sea, facing the sea breeze to start quickly, ready to make the final preparations before release, one after another planes were dragged out of the hangar, began logistics supply, the personnel on the aircraft carrier completed the most basic preparations one by one, and provided all the supplies that could be provided to the air force.

Yesterday, the personnel on the plane, in the course of carrying out their mission, received the last preparations for the operation of the aircraft carrier at about three o'clock in the morning, and when all the planes were filled up with fuel and ready, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning, and the incisive logistics personnel, after a little rest, were ready to make the final preparations for the attack, and all the planes were ready to go.

The sunrise in the summer is relatively early, almost 6 o'clock will dawn, the departure time is set at 6 o'clock in the morning, after two to three hours of flight, they will fly to the destination, every map is sent to each crew, and then throughout the daytime, 500 planes will carry out two rounds of attacks, respectively, attack 12 targets, on average each target will be more than 40 aircraft, including 10 medium bombers and 40 light bombers, a total of about 80 tons of aerial bombs.

In the United States in this era, every small town is not big, it is a small town formed by relying on the Pacific Railroad, their largest is only more than 1,000 households, more than 4,000 people, the smallest is only more than 1,000 people, two or three hundred rooms, and it is not a reinforced concrete building, these small towns in the central United States, the houses among them are basically wooden, because in the central mountains, the most are all kinds of trees, cutting down trees, making things is the best choice, Not to mention a 500-kilogram large bomb, even a 50-kilogram small bomb would have a devastating effect on these houses. At an altitude of about 7,000 meters, a 50-kilogram bomb fell, and the kinetic energy it carried was enough to destroy a wooden house that was not too big, not to mention the power of the bomb itself.

Complete destruction is no longer a problem, the remaining US troops, will not be able to gather together, there are some survivors, this is the saboteur of three vehicles set off together, the two main tasks in front are protection and escort, will carry 50 special forces, for the formation of a team, sporadic resistance, this part of the special forces, is definitely enough.

When the sun has not risen and the sea fog has not yet dispersed, 4 aircraft carriers began to launch various aircraft at the same time, and the pilots on these aircraft carriers have at least more than 2 years of carrier-based aircraft flight experience, and the flight hours are more than 1200 hours, everyone is elite, one by one, after taking off, forming a formation of 100 aircraft, they leave immediately, even if the United States does not have an air force, even if Chinese light bombers, they also have enough self-protection capabilities, However, China still strictly follows the records above the drill code, 50 bombers of all sizes, equipped with 50 fighters, this is only to attack targets in the central mountain range, the farthest one, is only 1,300 kilometers, for fighters with a flight radius of more than 2,500 kilometers, carrying auxiliary fuel tanks and even 4,500 kilometers, it is not a problem at all.

Huge fleets, bypassing densely populated places, at high altitude gradually marching towards the central mountain range, because they are not large transport planes, they do not carry radiolocation devices, but they have detailed maps, plus some landmark buildings, it is not difficult to find the target, the simplest, is to fly along the railway, these villages and towns, are next to the railway, the farthest is not more than 3 kilometers.

The city itself is based on the existence of the railway, many of their functions are born from the railway, to a certain extent, they are convenient because of the railway, and development, but in the face of China's indiscriminate gap, they become the railway, defeat the railway, they rely on the existence of the railway, from the railway to draw nourishment, but the attack of the railway, if it is replaced by a scale of attack, even if Japan uses armored forces, it is difficult to threaten them, but on the contrary, China uses the air force, The Pacific Railroad is the best target, even if there is no reference, it is enough to find a reference, let alone if all kinds of maps of China are available.

One by one, the planes crossed the vast airspace and headed for the middle of the United States, and at this moment, those stations in the middle of the United States did not realize that danger was coming. It cannot be said that the Americans are not prepared, last night, at ten o'clock in the morning, they had just received an order from Washington, and then, at least 10 divisions of American troops were concentrated on them from all over the world, where Sacramento was attacked, and Japan was gradually approaching the Rocky Mountains, but the small stations located in these mountains did not have the slightest fear, and they still believed in the American troops.

Lovelock, located in the west of Nevada, this town with only two or three thousand people in the 21st century, if it weren't for the Pacific Railroad, I'm afraid he would be just a small village in Nevada, but because of the advent of the railroad, even his permanent population is only about 500 people, but plus the station, plus the station's garrison and some other staff, all together, there are about 3,000 people, after Washington's order, the garrison and armed forces of this small station are almost 300 people, They were now concentrated in the strongest rooms of the station, and had barricades and other fortifications in front of them to defend against possible attacks.

They arranged, it can be said that it is not rigorous, but they did not realize that the attack came from the air, this is a matter of tactical considerations, the United States has taken into account all of it, has taken into account all possible attacks, but he has no way to take into account the limits of thinking, in terms of tactics, they have not taken into account the attack from the air at all, they have taken the attack from the ground into account the limit, but this is useless, China has developed the air force, the attack from the air, will be the focus of the attack. 100 planes were already in the air, first of all, the huge, bomb-carrying medium bomber with a load of 8.5 tons first opened the cabin, in the cabin, large and small aerial bombs, began to make the final preparations before dropping, the final preparations for the air raid have been made.

For the airdrop, this group of pilots does not have much experience, but for air strikes, they have at least gone through hundreds of exercises, for aircraft carriers, all the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers, all come from aircraft, the performance of aircraft on aircraft carriers, the professionalism of pilots on aircraft carriers, coupled with the efficiency of air strikes, together constitute the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers, pilots on aircraft carriers, not selected casually, on the basis of land-based pilots, the best of the best, must reach a certain level, And after meeting some of the conditions, they can be selected into the aircraft carrier battle group, and then at least after 1 or even 2 years of professional training, they can be pulled out.

Of course, this state is not suitable for war, even the United States in World War II, they also have trade-offs in the later period, for example, pilots who have only received general training, most of them fly transport planes, or bombers, and their combat effectiveness is low.

Transport aircraft, strategic bombers, this kind of aircraft that originally only performed second-line and third-line missions, but because of the emergence of B25 and B29, it has become a bright spot, a huge group of aircraft is concentrated, forming a dense network, he basically reached the parameters of B29, but higher than him, 13 heavy machine gun points, formed 13 attack positions, when this strategic aircraft group is formed on the premise of scale, more than 200 aircraft, the entire firepower is quite intensive, not to mention that various countries have not yet developed air forces, It does not yet have a strong enough fighter, and even if it is developed, what can it be, not to mention China's strict implementation of escort.

China, from the very beginning attaches importance to the Air Force, in this important role of oil, has not been fully reflected, this period, the price of oil is very cheap, China almost imports more than 85% of the oil produced in the world, the huge import volume, so that China has enough cheap oil, and therefore, the flight school opened to all parts of China, more than 900 million people, The total number of flight schools is 28,000, and each school has an average of more than 100 students, although the vast majority of them are junior students, but the whole of China, 2.8 million flight students, also makes China's air force have a very large base, and the vast majority of pilots, before entering the professional team, have 150-200 hours of flight time, which greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of pilots, to a certain extent, and reduces the training of basic projects, so to speak, the best of both worlds.

There is no need to eliminate in the junior aviation school, most of the ones that are not suitable for flying have been eliminated in the flight school, after all, in China, there are at least 15 million pilots with certain flight experience, and most of them have been eliminated in the flight school.

This is the essence of China, the Air Force, not only in terms of technical equipment, but also in the basis of pilots, in the jet aircraft, over-the-horizon strikes and missiles do not appear normally in the Air Force sequence, the Air Force is also like the Army, people are the biggest foundation, only a sufficient personnel base, is the terrible root of the Chinese Air Force.
