Although the Americans are already equipped with new jets, they are much more powerful than the Daming HNA that still uses piston-engine fighters. Pen: Fun %www.biquge.info But one thing these jets have in common is short legs.

Because the massive increase in engine power has led to a sharp increase in fuel consumption. The fuel utilization rate of this era was actually not very high, and these factors combined to shorten the combat radius of the new jet aircraft.

Moreover, compared to the old piston engine aircraft, the new jet aircraft has greatly increased the requirements for airport conditions. Jets simply cannot be used without a formal enough formal airport. Field airfields of the kind that are very common on the battlefield are not capable of taking off and landing jets.

In other words, even if it is now a domestic war, even if the Americans have hundreds of thousands of huge air power in their hands, they will not be able to enter the battlefield in a short time. I could only watch as the Ming naval aviation dominated the skies of the battlefield with piston engines that were regarded as old-fashioned and obsolete.

The strength of the Ming army really didn't blow out. This landing operation on the west coast of the mainland has an advantageous position in terms of both strategic deception and tactical application. The interlocking deployment made the Ming army, which was originally at a disadvantage, occupy the initiative on the battlefield. However, the defenders with strong strength are in an embarrassing situation due to various reasons such as time, space, and location.

Moreover, the Ming army had already made sufficient preparations for the struggle for air supremacy on the battlefield. In the midst of the unprecedentedly large fleet, there were many large transport ships loaded with new aircraft in specially made containers.

These new jets, packed in specially made containers, can be transported quickly to the airport by road. It takes less than five hours from the time the container is dismantled to the time it is assembled and put into operation. A large number of intensively trained ground crews and the most elite pilots will follow the containers to the airfields seized by the ground forces.

As long as the Ming army captures enough airfields, the Ming air power will support a strong protective force for the ground forces. In order to counter the huge air fleet of hundreds of thousands of US troops, the first two waves of transport ships of the Ming landing force were all loaded with jet fighters and not a single bomber.

The naval and air power were followed by the ground forces. The U.S. forces deployed in the Los Angeles area look difficult to withstand the onslaught of the Ming army. The 40th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 108th Infantry Division were now completely caught up in street battles with the Ming army.

The only armored force, the 49th Armored Division, was stationed in the San Fernando Valley, and the biggest threat to the landing operation had been baptized by the bomber units of the Ming Navy.

Although the bomber pilots of the Hainan Airlines are not so professional compared to their counterparts in the Army Airlines, they can fight tanks. However, they still used accurate bombs to blow up many American tanks. By the time the 49th Panzer Division received the order to rush to the beach to counter the Ming landing force, they were still able to use less than half of the number of tanks.

Moreover, as a key monitoring target, the 49th Armored Division will be attacked by Ming fighters almost every moment along the way, and it is simply difficult to move an inch. Many US officers and soldiers were very shocked and said that they had no idea where the Ming army came from, so many planes!

Where did the planes of the Ming army come from, of course, they took off from the aircraft carrier.

Zhang Cheng, who traveled from modern time and space, has an incomparably thorough understanding of the importance of sea and air supremacy in war. Aircraft carriers that have replaced battleships as supremacy at sea are even more important.

Daming has sufficient financial and material resources and industrial production capacity. There is no shortage of policy support and no shortage of science and technology. In addition, there is the strong support of Zhang Cheng, who is the supreme commander of the country. Aircraft carriers, which began to be built on a large scale from before the start of the war, several years after the general mobilization of the country's industrial production. What will be the number of aircraft carriers in its navy?

At the beginning of 1943, it was an explosive period for the service of the Ming Navy's warships, and the aircraft carrier produced by the modular assembly line and the five-shift working mode around the clock has been shortened to 14 months from laying the first keel to launching and outfitting the official service.

The coastline of Daming is home to more than half of the world's large shipbuilding docks from south to north. The number of docks, whether dry or stationary, is a staggering number. After the outbreak of the war, the government invested heavily in the number of new and expanded large dockyards.

In April 1943 alone, the Ming Navy received as many as eleven aircraft carriers in official service!

To know. These are all regular aircraft carriers, not those converted from merchant ships. In this landing operation on the continental United States, the number of aircraft carriers invested by the Ming army in many directions exceeded 100! This is the real reason why the entire sky over California is full of Ming fighters.

The closest ground reinforcements to California were still in San Diego, where there were garrisons of about two infantry divisions to send reinforcements. However, with the Ming Navy's domination of the skies, these US troops should not expect to arrive for at least twenty-four hours. The same is true for reinforcements drawn from other cities.

Gather troops. Mobilize transports, prepare all kinds of supplies, and go on the road under the bombardment of the Ming army. By the time all this was done, by the time they ran hundreds of kilometers to Los Angeles for reinforcements, the daylilies were already cold.

As early as when formulating the operational plan for landing in Los Angeles, the General Staff of the Ming Army had clearly emphasized the importance of time. For the Ming army, time is of the essence, and if it is not able to achieve major results in a short period of time under the condition of careful preparation and a lot of effort, then this landing operation will be a huge failure.

The total strength of the first attack exceeded half a million people! If these 500,000 officers and men are not able to gain a foothold after the landing, then they will have no place to retreat even if they want to. Across the vast Pacific Ocean, no swimming ring can swim back to my hometown on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The battle plan of the Ming army was very clear. Completely occupy the entire Los Angeles area within twenty-four hours. And be sure to capture eleven airports in the Los Angeles area that are capable of taking off and landing jets. Only by occupying these airfields will it be possible for the aircraft coming by sea to exert their combat capability. With the protection of air power, there will be a large-scale landing later.

In order to achieve this combat goal, the Ming intelligence department used almost all of its forces in the United States, even if the spies who had been lurking for many years were exposed.

When the time came to half past one in the afternoon, the entire island of Teminar fell into the hands of the Ming army. The defenders detonated explosives as the naval arsenal on Terminal Island was about to fall, the last of their resistance, turning half of the island into a world of smoke and flame.

In order to achieve the combat goal, the Ming Navy can be regarded as open this time. Under the guidance of the spies, more than 20 Ming destroyers successfully passed through the minefield laid by the Americans and rushed into the Los Angeles River. They made their way up the Los Angeles River, even driving the fleet to the Compton area before finally running aground.

After the grounding, thousands of elite Marines aboard the destroyer rushed to shore. And the more than 20 Ming destroyers also used themselves as fixed batteries. With all the weapons from the battleship's 20-mm guns to 155-mm guns, they opened heavy fire on the nearby defenders' positions.

After the Ming army occupied Terminal Island, the American defenders in the Long Beach area were cut off from retreat and reinforcements. After the complete fall of the port area, the defenders of Long Beach could no longer bear it. At half past two in the afternoon, nearly 5,000 US officers and men stationed in the Long Beach area finally failed to resist. The entire Long Beach area and the port area were lost.

Subsequently, the impatient Ming army transport fleet, which had been waiting for a long time, slowly sailed into the huge Los Angeles port area one after another in the order that had been set up for a long time. Because it is a civilian port, we have not received any information about the danger before. Therefore, the Americans did not plant explosives in the port area.

When the Ming army suddenly appeared and attacked, it was too late to blow up the port and not give it to the Ming army. Such a huge port area is not a trestle for fishing on the seaside, where is it so easy to blow up? It takes a long time for the sappers to just place explosives in key areas, and it is impossible for the Ming army to be blind?

The planning of the General Staff of the Ming Army was very meticulous. With the strong cooperation of the intelligence services. The General Staff of the Ming Army even calculated how long each ship would stay in port to the minute. There are very clear regulations on which route to enter, which dock berth to dock at, how many hours and minutes it takes to unload, and which route to take when unloading and leaving.

All must follow the schedule that has been made. If anyone dares to scramble and cause chaos, it will definitely be court-martialed.

Los Angeles' port area is huge, with numerous docks and a large number of state-of-the-art unloading equipment. The Ming army was the first to go ashore with the men recruited from the local harbor, and they quickly took over the entire port area after entering the port area. The unloading work began in an orderly manner.

Under piers 1 to 7 are infantry, these are the fastest and urgently needed at the front now. The heavily armed soldiers finally arrived at their destination after a long journey at sea. Soon after disembarking, they were sent to the front line not far away as battalions and companies to fight, and continued to expand the landing site.

Piers nine to sixteen were unloaded with armored units. These docks have the best heavy lifting equipment, and after the tanks are hoisted onto the docks, the armored soldiers waiting on the side will immediately rush to refuel and drive the tanks directly to the battlefield.

The rest of the docks were all unloading war materiel in various regulations. The main ones are those specially made containers that house the new jets. (To be continued.) )
