940 Bombardment
The continuous high-intensity air raids carried out by the Tang Air Force on the Eastern Front were only the beginning, and the 48-hour Polish bombing basically completely disintegrated the Polish army, and the Polish army in the wilderness was dropped by the Tang Army without cover, and the large number of coagulated ****** and thermobaric bombs dropped by the Tang Army was extremely heavy.

Since the Polish army was actually stationed in some villages and towns, and even directly requisitioned civilian houses, Datang's attack was a consistent coverage of military and civilian targets. In addition to the deaths of tens of thousands of Polish soldiers, tens of thousands of local residents were also killed, and the fire ignited the dead grass in the winter fields, thus burning the entire land to a fiery red, making it difficult for both humans and animals to escape from the fire.
The blows of the Datang Air Force soon extended to strikes against the military industry and other heavy industries in Poland. The industrial layout of Europe is relatively concentrated, and the distinction between industrial areas and residential areas is still relatively clear, which is actually based on some experience of Datang in industrial development. However, this also makes it very easy for Datang, which is on the strike side, to distinguish which are the industrial areas of the Poles, and the major industrial cities in Poland are all under the attack of the Datang Air Force.
Warsaw bore the brunt of the attack, and the Datang Air Force mobilized about 144 H-6 bombers, each carrying 12 tons of ammunition, to cooperate with two fighter aviation regiments to escort the attack, and struck at Warsaw's industrial zone. The attack was carried out at night, and the Datang Air Force had a certain field capability, which was also a relatively lacking capability of the European Air Force.
During the night raids, most of the bombers did not use relatively expensive weapons such as guided bombs, and the thermobaric bombs that were actually used to destroy factories and industrial equipment were mass-produced and manufactured by Datang in recent years. Not only does this weapon create a cloudburst type oxygen vacuum, but it also creates a huge shock wave that is quite terrifying. Even in order to facilitate tactical bombing and carrying, Datang's weapons designers even specially redesigned the body of this weapon, so that it is not like the appearance of the fat man with an iron bucket like the BLU-82 used by the US military in another plane, but more like a large auxiliary fuel tank or a bold missile.
The pilots of the Datang Air Force bombers knew very well what kind of weapons they were about to drop, and some even described these bombs as bringing hell to earth.
At night, the strength of the Polish air defense was very weak, and the bombers maintained a relatively high flight altitude, which was relatively safe. Although the accuracy of unguided bombs cannot be guaranteed, there is a large industrial plant below, and the explosion power is enough to cover a target within a radius of one mile, so the accuracy requirements are not high.
The Poles did not control the lights at all, and in fact no one expected the Tang Air Force to come and bomb Warsaw. Although it has been half a year since the war began, people still feel that the war is far away. Compared to the Germans, who were already working overtime in factories to produce weapons parts, the Poles were far more preferential. And this also made the number of deaths and injuries of Polish workers on that night not so horrific, because very few people worked at night.
The explosion and combustion caused by a large number of bombs directly destroyed the industrial area of Warsaw, which accounted for a very critical proportion of the weapons and equipment produced in Poland, and its destruction greatly weakened Poland's ability to provide for the war effort.
The Datang Air Force continued to carry out large-scale bombing of military and industrial facilities in Poland, dispatching an average of more than 200 bomber sorties per day and dropping nearly 2,000 tons of ammunition per day. This kind of bombardment is unheard of even in the history of Datang itself, and its direct effect is that it is only in a week and a half. The terrible air raids launched by the Tang Dynasty have killed and wounded more than 70,000 Poles and destroyed three-quarters of Poland's industrial capacity.
The tragedy in Poland shocked Europe, and while not much information and photos were passed on to other countries, the mere half-claw was enough to send the shivers down the spine of Europeans. The Europeans not only thought that if the Tang Dynasty did this to them, would they be as difficult to survive as the Poles.
This is much the case, and the deplorable situation in Poland is only the beginning. Datang's bomber units deployed in the Thracian and Ukrainian directions cover four bomber aviation divisions, two strike aviation divisions and seven fighter aviation divisions, equipped with 220 H-6 bombers, 144 J-5 and J-6 fighter aircraft, and 535 J-6, J-7 and Flying Leopard fighters.
And this is just part of the shocking bombing carried out by Datang.
The Air Force deployed in North Africa is much larger. Datang directly installed eight bombing aviation divisions here, and in addition to the H-6, the H-7 was also deployed; Due to the Mediterranean Sea, there were no attack aircraft units deployed, but as many as 17 fighter aviation divisions were directly arranged. In addition, there are patrol planes, early warning planes, anti-submarine planes, reconnaissance planes and other special aircraft to cooperate with these main combat aircraft.
Since the opening of the supply routes in the North Atlantic, the air bases of the Netherlands and Belgium have also become one of the fulcrums of this attack. The bomber aviation division was strengthened to five, with two more assault aviation divisions and the number of fighter aviation divisions increased to twelve.
In order to launch this large-scale strategic-level air attack, Datang mobilized about eighty percent of the H-6 to fight in Europe, including almost all flying H-7s, and continuously sent H-8s capable of intercontinental flight from the mainland to reinforce, and the total number of bombers used also reached an astonishing thousand.
Such a huge scale is also terrible for the consumption of ammunition, one or two thousand tons of ammunition is thrown every day, if it were not for the fact that Datang has a large number of maritime forces that can continuously deliver the ammunition produced in the country to the hands of the front-line air force, such a large-scale and high-intensity air raid operation is impossible.
Just as Europe was reluctant to report on the bombings that affected morale and national confidence, Datang itself did not report much on these bombings, although the Tang Dynasty was just a blow to the enemy's war potential and industrial capacity, but after all, it still caused a large number of casualties among European civilians. Although, those in the Ministry of National Defense, the Presidential Palace, and the National Council basically don't mind this matter.
From the beginning of the war to the present, in just half a year, millions of Europeans have been killed and wounded under the guns of the Tang Dynasty, and the horror and bloodiness of the world war can be seen. Datang itself also has some casualties, but even if this number is not so small that it is negligible, it makes people wonder if it is the number of casualties generated by a battle.
