"Has the plan been confirmed?" Holding two children with pink makeup in his arms, Zhang Cheng sat on the sofa and teased the children while asking Wang Yan and Xiao Hongbao who were sitting opposite him.

"There are no problems with intelligence anymore." Xiao Hongbao glanced at Wang Yan and said loudly, "But we don't know what Lu Hang's specific preparations are. ”

"Oh." Zhang Cheng nodded, and said with a smile, "Lu Hang is ready, and now wait for your exact information to launch an air attack at any time." Where is the Americans' plan now? ”

"According to the intelligence sent by the moles lurking in the top echelons of the United States, the Americans' super bomb development program has reached the last moment." Xiao Hongbao said loudly: "If nothing else, the Americans will complete all the pre-production theoretical research and various experiments within a week at the latest." Then they can start production. ”

"If you produce it, it will become very fast?" Zhang Cheng frowned slightly, stroked the sleeping child with both hands, and whispered, "According to our experience, it won't be long before they will have a superweapon." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Wang Yan also lowered his voice and said, "According to our experience, after all the arguments and experiments, the production will be very fast. ”

"Then there's nothing to wait for." Zhang Cheng raised his voice slightly: "The ground troops are blocked on the front line of the Tennessee River. Front commanders told me that it would take at least a week for them to break through the heavily armed U.S. line. There's still a long way to go, and I can't pin my hopes on them. ”

"You guys go and prepare, I've already told Lu Hang, and I'll cooperate with you to carry out a fierce air attack on Oak Ridge." Zhang Cheng stood up, hugged the child, nodded to the two of them, and said, "Pay attention to the contact with the inside line, and keep abreast of the effects of the bombing." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Dallas City, Texas.

There are several large airports outside of Dallas, the largest of which is Fort Worth Airport near Fort Worth in the west of the city. The 114th Wing of the Daming Army Aviation Strategic Bomber Force is stationed here.

The 114th Wing is an old-time unit, and it is one of the earliest strategic bomber units formed by Zhang Cheng. They participated in almost all the large-scale strategic bombing operations throughout the war. It is a meritorious unit, an ace unit. The bombing of Oak Ridge drew the wing into it.

Zhang Cheng actually did not expect to be able to destroy the Americans' super-bomb program by relying on this bombing. After all, the real core facilities are built in underground fortifications, and it is almost impossible to effectively strike targets buried deep underground through aerial bombardment with the technological power of this era.

However, underground facilities have limited capacity after all, and the Super Bomb project requires a large industrial production facility, and it is impossible to fully accommodate it in the underground base. And there are so many people involved, and many of the various targets are built on the ground. Zhang Cheng's goal is to have these massive ground facilities. The destruction of these ground facilities would certainly have significantly slowed down the Americans' plans for the production of superbombs.

As long as it is possible to drag the time down, the subsequent things can be solved by relying on the ground forces. Within a month at most, the ground forces of the Ming army will inevitably be able to completely conquer Oak Ridge, thus strangling the last hope of the Americans in the cradle.

"How's the preparation of the crews?" Colonel Wang Lan, the captain of the 114th Wing, inquired about the readiness of the various units in the wing headquarters.

"All 183 fighters are ready, and 11 spare aircraft have been overhauled and are ready for use." The chief of staff's answer made Wang Lan nod with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, this mission is personally signed by the Supreme Commander, and we must successfully complete the mission. ”

"Yes!" Many officers shouted in unison.

"Go to the pilot's prep room." Wang Lan picked up the military hat on the table, put it on, and led a group of officers to the pilot's preparation room. The pilots who were ready to attack were already there and ready to go.

"Ladies and gentlemen." After arriving at the pilot's preparation room, Wang Lan looked at the large group of pilots in the huge room and shouted, "This is a large-scale joint operation." Not only our flying wing, but seven other wings worked together to carry out this order. I won't say anything else, everyone knows that this is an order from the Supreme Commander. So no matter what, we're going to get the job done! ”

"Order!" After talking about the pre-war mobilization, Wang Lan instructed the chief of staff of the wing to issue combat missions, and he himself began to change his flight suit. Wang Lan will personally lead the 183 strategic bombers of his wing to Oak Ridge to carry out combat missions. Not only Wang Lan, but also the captains of the other seven wings will also personally lead the team.

The operational tradition of the Ming Dynasty is that the commander personally directs the battle on the front line. The commander of the flight formation must be at the front of the flying team, and the commander of all levels must be at the front of the tank group. When the infantry charged, it was also necessary for the commander to command the front.

Although this will cause huge casualties among front-line commanders, it will have an immeasurably powerful impact on the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops. The commanders are so fierce that they are not afraid to die, and the ordinary soldiers must also fight to the death!

In the Ming army, there was no such thing as a commander hiding behind and pointing fingers at the map and the sand table. It is impossible for such a commander to ascend to a high position, and even if he rises to the position by virtue of various connections, it will not be long before he will be eliminated from the battlefield by the battlefield.

This kind of thing can't even be done by the royal family, let alone others. On the battlefield, officers and soldiers will trust only those officers who are truly capable and truly fearless. Officers who are greedy for life and afraid of death and want to show themselves have no value in existence.

The combat mission is very clear. The Ming spy department is so powerful that they even get a topographic map of Oak Ridge, which is an absolute secret area of the United States. And there are also a lot of field photos. You must know that as a center for the development of superweapons, Oak Ridge does not even exist in the map with the Americans in order to keep it secret.

However, these preparations of the Americans were meaningless, and the Ming army easily got the information they needed. As for the reason, it is very simple, Daming has a high-status mole among the top leaders in the United States, and there is more than one. In any era, a traitor can do far more damage to a group than any enemy.

With all-round intelligence support, Daming soon did a very good job of all the details of the bombing of Oak Ridge. Even where each plane dropped the bomb was clearly marked. Although it was a night bombing, it was not too difficult compared to the Ming Dynasty, which had made great progress in science and technology.

At this time, for these extremely strong bomber units of the Ming army, their biggest threat was the twin-engine night fighters newly equipped by the US military. This fighter equipped with radar is very similar to the night fighter of the Ming army, although there is a gap in performance, but it is indeed a fighter capable of intercepting operations at night.

In fact, since the beginning of the war, the allies have been plagued by the strategic bomber force established by Zhang Cheng. The superfortress, which was extremely sturdy, had a long range and bomb load, and was also capable of bombing at night, was a nightmare for the Allies.

Countless important buildings and factory areas were blown into ruins by these giant bombers, and a large amount of production capacity and countless important strategic locations of the Allies were destroyed, and the losses to the Allies were no less than those of the frontal battlefield.

In order to counter this perverted combat weapon of the Ming army, the allies can be said to have tried their best.

From the emergence of fighters with more advanced performance, climbing, maximum ceiling and firepower, and the successful use of large formations and rockets in a fearless combat mode, the Ming army was successfully forced to occupy the bomber unit and reduced its activities during the day. Although it has not played much role in time.

Although the Ming army reduced its sorties during the day due to the introduction of powerful daytime combat aircraft by the Allies, they intensified their combat operations at night. Suffering from the lack of night combat aircraft, the allies could only rely on various anti-aircraft weapons on the ground to resist.

The Allies even mass-produced and built a 150-millimeter caliber super anti-aircraft gun invented by the Japanese, who were tormented by the strategic bombing of the Ming Army and Air Forces. This kind of anti-aircraft artillery is extremely powerful, and can even kill an extremely strong Ming strategic bomber with a single shell. Ever since the Allies mass-produced and deployed this weapon, the losses of the Ming army's strategic bombers have been skyrocketing.

However, compared with their own losses in battle, the Ming army's strategic bomber units achieved more fruitful results. Moreover, Daming is the most powerful industrial producer in the world, and no country can compete with Daming in terms of production capacity.

The Ming Dynasty built strategic bombers at a rate far faster than they could lose in battle. After the Ming army invaded the central region of the United States, the Ming could easily deploy thousands of strategic bombers all over the United States!

The Americans eventually discovered that they could not resist the heavy bombardment of the Ming army's strategic bomber forces by relying on fixed defensive artillery. Even if their air defense forces were able to continuously shoot down many Ming strategic bombers, the speed at which the Ming army could replenish far exceeded the rate of its losses.

Eventually, the Americans, who were forced to be in a hurry, began to frantically develop night combat aircraft. But by the time they finally came out with the plane, the war had developed to the point where it didn't matter whether they were there or not. (To be continued.) )
