As the war entered 1816, the ringing of the New Year's bell seemed more like a death knell for the European Union. On the day of the Gregorian New Year www.biquge.info Datang bombed Paris, the capital and largest city of France, a major country in the European Union.

The scale of this bombing was even greater than the previous Polish bombing campaign, and the Datang Air Force mobilized all eight bomber aviation divisions at the North African Air Force base, and in this day, a total of three waves of strikes were carried out with high intensity, which also set a new record for the Datang Air Force.

After a group of crew members returned from their missions, they immediately maintained and re-mounted bombers to ensure that each wave had six bomber divisions, that is, 324 bombers, on mission. Three waves of furious strikes mean that nearly 1,000 sorties of bombers can attack within 24 hours, and the destructive and deterrent effects that can be achieved are self-evident.

In order to escort a large number of bombers, the Datang Air Force dispatched a large number of heavy fighters to carry out tasks, and each wave of bombing must ensure that the strength of a fighter aviation division is guarded, and each wave is rotated. Even so, for the Flying Leopard, whose combat radius is just over 1,000 kilometers, the voyage from North Africa to Paris is a bit far. Datang also dispatched a large number of tankers to refuel the escort fighters in the process, ensuring that they could ensure that they could fly back and forth.

This complex operation alone has already tested the ability of the Datang Air Force. Even the Datang Air Force, which has a very high level of training, also thinks that the difficulty of the "New Year's bombing operation" is hellish. He tested the coordination ability of each unit of the Datang Air Force, tested the resilience of the air force soldiers, and undoubtedly tested the air force's own operational ability and ability to deal with problems and eliminate problems.

In a large-scale military operation like this, it is normal for unavoidable problems such as mechanical failures and personnel errors to occur, but it is also a very difficult problem to be able to solve problems quickly and make the overall bombing mission run smoothly.

It is clear that the Datang Air Force did not disappoint anyone. Although it is the youngest of the three services, the professional attitude and ability displayed by the Air Force are commendable.

And the Datang Air Force has done its job well, which means that someone has suffered.

The bombing was still concentrated on the industrial facilities in Paris and the surrounding area, with the aim of destroying France's industrial capacity and war potential. A lot of guided weapons have been added to the weapons this time, and compared to Poland's air defense, which is not much better than no defense, France's air defense still has a little bit of a small threat. Although the French have not shot down a single Datang fighter so far, the only plane that crashed before was caused by a mechanical failure.

The bombing campaign first targeted any threatened air defense installations, such as radar stations, air defense positions, and military command posts around Paris. Datang had already mastered this information through strategic reconnaissance, so it was relatively calm when the bombing was launched. The H-6, which carries cruise missiles, first launches these cruise missiles at a distance of several hundred kilometers from the target, and the maximum range of the Changjian series cruise missiles exceeds 2,000 kilometers, but in actual operation, the military believes that this range of 2,000 kilometers is actually very unnecessary. Europe is so big in total, and Datang also has strongholds around and inside Europe, such as attacking France from North Africa, it is only more than 1,000 kilometers, plus the H-6 itself has a combat radius of more than 3,000 kilometers, so it is not actually necessary to have such a large range. Even the longsword cruise missile developed later has reduced the range and increased the weight of the warhead, which can be regarded as a weapon specially created for Europe.

The precision-guided air-launched cruise missile first hit three radar stations around Paris, and the strike was quite successful, two of which were completely blown up, while one was still barely maintained, but it was already lacking in real combat effectiveness. After the destruction of the radar air defense alert system, cruise missiles visited a series of military command-related targets, including the building of the French Ministry of Defense and the location of the air defense headquarters. Basically, hitting these targets, a missile can work, the huge power of the missile can directly blow up a high-rise building into ruins, and the missile attack is more unforewarning and sudden than a large-scale aircraft group, so Datang's attack caught the French off guard, and even the French defense minister himself was killed in the bombing.

The head of the military command was bombed, the command system was chaotic, and the next thing that suffered was a large number of air defense positions around Paris, and cruise missiles attacked a batch of them, and the effect was slightly worse, after all, when the French army was attacked, it would immediately withdraw from its positions or rearrange it.

But it doesn't matter, because a large number of H-6 and H-7 have entered the attack range of guided weapons, these guided weapons can be released more than ten kilometers away, outside the strike range of anti-aircraft guns, and the bombs that floated down accurately fell on the positions of the French army, immediately setting off a huge explosion, sweeping the anti-aircraft guns and French soldiers into the sky.

It didn't take long for the Datang Air Force to completely paralyze the only air defense force in France, and the bombing began to shift to the real target, that is, the industrial area.

Explosions and fires engulfed the industrial area of Paris in large quantities of solidified ****** and thermobaric bombs, and it was still daytime, and more workers were trapped in the industrial area, burned alive or suffocated.

Even in bright daylight, Parisians can see the other side of the city blazing, seemingly dyeing the entire sky orange-red. At the beginning of the war, many Parisians did not understand the true form of the war, and had some inexplicable self-confidence and superiority, but it was only when Paris was really attacked today that they remembered what kind of ruthless character they had provoked.

Although some air defense facilities had been built in Paris before the war, most of the people who could really hide in it at the critical moment were high-ranking officials, and it was impossible for ordinary Parisians to enter the bomb shelter, and it could not accommodate so many people. Fortunately, Datang did not directly bomb the residential areas of France, and the rest of the city was relatively safe, and only the industrial areas were destroyed. But the damage was already quite serious for France, more than 30,000 people died directly in the New Year's bombing campaign, and countless casualties were lost.

In the following days, important industrial cities such as Germany, Italy, and Spain were also hit by this horror, with a large number of factories destroyed and more than 100,000 civilians killed and injured. (To be continued.) )
