Chapter 1145: Air Blockade
"They're here again!" A shout immediately startled all the cars to stop immediately, and the drivers and passengers on board fled the convoy and fled in all directions.
"Boom, boom!" Sure enough, the explosion followed, and the bombs rained down over the convoy, and the people who had fled a little more kept screaming in the flames.
"Cake sellers, let these demons leave quickly!" All of them were prostrate on the ground in the distance, peeking at the huge floating figures in the sky and praying to their gods.
No sooner had the Americans planned a mass evacuation of their property than Chinese bombers appeared in the skies near cities such as Pittsburgh and Detroit.
Because the Americans lost too quickly, a large number of intact airfields in the northern part of the United States became trophies of China. This undoubtedly alleviated the problem of the lack of airfields for Chinese fighters before.
Not only are there more and more Huaxia fighters blocking and intercepting US fighters, but there are also more and more attack planes and bombers galloping in the sky.
There is no need to depart from mainland China, or even from Hawaii, and even if you don't need to refuel, those bombers can continue to soar in the air for a long time. Even the escort fighters no longer think too much about the range, and can accompany them all the way to the hinterland of the continental United States.
This gave the Huaxia bombers who had previously risked carrying out various missions with interception fighters and antiaircraft artillery fire in the United States.
Although the large-caliber antiaircraft artillery firepower network produced by the Americans in large quantities is becoming more and more dense, as long as the interceptor fighters are solved, they can only carry out a surprise attack before the backward radar network of the United States reacts, and the United States will be able to bomb the United States to a great extent.
As Huaxia obtained a large amount of equipment and materials in the city of Dafali in Europe, Huaxia's urgent need for American equipment declined, and the frequency of Huaxia bomber formation sorties became higher and higher. The scope of the attack is not limited to the military industry, steel plants, power plants, electronic equipment factories, chemical plants and even water plants are gradually included in the bombing list. Piercing air defense sirens are also often sounded in cities such as Washington and New York.
If these hinterland cities are still in the more harassing stage, then in the cities ahead, the screams of Huaxia bombs have long been habitual.
The daily bomb production of the base will basically be exhausted by that day.
Tank production and artillery production lines around Detroit had to be halted again and again under frequent bombardment. Americans are not Maozi. Not many people are willing to risk their lives to give birth.
Those near the military-industrial complex and important targets. The daily roar of anti-aircraft artillery was deafening, as if it had also been caught in the fiercest front-line battles.
"We couldn't be the best!" After realizing that it was impossible to receive American property without damage, Meng Xiang had already stepped up his sabotage orders against the United States.
The railway network on the front line was quickly dismembered and shattered by the bombs of the Chinese people. Even the roads are congested with craters and the wreckage of military vehicles.
More Chinese warplanes swooped down on the lines of communication around areas such as Detroit and Pittsburgh, so that the large-scale evacuation plan of the Americans was constantly blocked by China from the beginning.
Civilians can still evacuate by small roads and carry packages on their backs, but how can the machinery and equipment of those factories be transported out of the roads and railways?
Water transport in the Great Lakes is no longer counted on. After the Huaxia fighters tightened their grip on the transportation lines, almost every American ship on the Great Lakes was attacked by the Huaxia fighters or the Huaxia torpedo boats. And almost every passage that can lead to the outside world has the figure of Chinese fighters passing by.
Air supremacy in the US skies is slipping into the hands of China.
The Americans and the British joined forces to develop the Super Saber at any cost, but they were still beaten to the north under the repeated attacks of MiG fighters, Ghosts, Crusaders and other fighters that kept popping up in China.
But this is already the best fighter that the Americans can build on a large scale, and the new fighter they developed is blocked by the threshold of supersonic speed. I can't break through. Even if some special fighters can be manufactured at any cost and cross this hurdle, they do not have the ability to manufacture them on a large scale because of problems such as cost, raw materials, and processing technology.
These few specially made fighters can't make too big a splash in the overwhelming fighter fleet in China, and they only need to dispatch a few killers such as the MiG-25 to solve the problem with those air-to-air missiles.
Even the production of the Americans' Super Sabre could not compare to the production of air-to-air missiles at the base, and in the end the Americans found that there were more and more Chinese fighters above their heads.
The number of fighters built at the base is much greater than the number lost. Continuous accumulation. In the United States, the number of Chinese fighters has swelled dramatically. The cessation of hostilities in Europe and other places caused the Chinese pilots to concentrate on the American side. Coupled with the continuous delivery of the base training center, the embarrassment of insufficient number of pilots has been gradually alleviated.
There are people, there are planes, and there are airfields taken from the Americans, and the strength of the Chinese air force in the United States has risen sharply.
When Meng Xiang gave the order to block the traffic channel, the hidden strength of the Huaxia Air Force also burst out, and immediately defeated the US Air Force, which still wanted to maintain the airspace over Chicago, and the key was the loss of fighters in the tank battle outside Chicago, and the loss of more than 4,000 fighters by the Americans in succession greatly damaged the vitality of the US Air Force.
Although more than half of them were old piston fighters, the loss of pilots, especially those who could skillfully fly jet fighters, was distressing to the Americans.
The advent of jet fighters has made the numerical superiority of the Americans' hundreds of thousands of pilots on a level higher than that of China, which has invested heavily in training. Not every pilot can adapt to a jet fighter very quickly, and even if you have a flying foundation, you can adapt quickly, but it also takes time and commitment. Prepared in advance and extravagantly trained, Huaxia has even more jet pilots than the Americans.
With the help of fighters and missiles with better performance, one increase and one decrease, Huaxia's advantage was more obvious, and it had already thrown off a few streets from the Americans.
The Americans' sky is constantly being lost, and it is no longer possible to stop the wreaking havoc of the Chinese bombers, and even the Chinese bombers can penetrate those anti-aircraft fire networks and blow up their airfields one by one with impunity.
The situation of the US Air Force is even more dire.
Unable to ensure the safety of the skies, the Americans had to wait for the evacuation to be carried out at night, using the night to escape the increasingly heavy bombardment of China.
This method was very effective, and after adopting a series of night-time regulations, including lights and noise, the bombers in the air could not recognize the specific situation below, and could only continue to fly by, even if there were flares and searchlights, and the results of the battle could not be sustained.
The Americans are already relatively satisfied with the losses in this case. But their rejoicing did not last for a few days, and they found that on those traffic arteries, the Chinese bombers and attack planes flying overhead were replaced by behemoths that hung in the air.
"Airship!" The legend of the Hindenburg airship has only recently passed, and many Americans recognize it at a glance.
These behemoths are bathed in the setting sun like works of art made of gold, but when they start dropping bombs, the Americans realize what a horrific murder weapon they are.
The bombs on the top seemed to never be finished, and they kept falling on the heads of the Americans. Even at night, the flares and high-powered searchlights on the airship illuminate the main traffic routes as bright as day. As long as these behemoths, which seem to be able to float and hover forever, get stuck in those traffic nodes, the American convoys will not be able to sneak around.
Americans are even more terrified of the airships that float around.
Especially in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, those flying silent airships can rely on the slightly cumbersome infrared night vision devices loaded to accurately lock on the constantly moving targets below in the night, and then the bombs that are continuously dropped are like volcanic eruptions, completely submerging the surrounding targets.
The Americans didn't really care much about these airships at first. In the eyes of all the world, airships were outdated on the battlefield during the First World War, and even civilian passenger transportation was unsafe.
They first used the anti-aircraft artillery of the guards. But the airships floating at high altitude have long been out of the range of those small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and those large-caliber anti-aircraft guns will soon find that their attacks cannot cause fatal damage to those airships at all, but they have to face the carpet retaliatory bombardment that ensues with the airships.
The Americans did not know about this Kirov airship, which had become their nightmare in other time and space, relying on the large tonnage of bomb loads, and was never afraid to waste ammunition. Their nightmare began with the hellish bombing of the Kirov airship.
Hellfire burns everything, destroys everything, and there is no escape.
The Americans also sent warplanes based on the experience of the First World War, using white phosphorus and high-explosive shells, and even carrying the latest missiles. However, the airship, which once served as the command center of the Chinese battlefield, detected the movements of these fighters early on. Huaxia's airships were never alone, and the escort fighters quickly stifled those aerial threats out of the threat. Even if they occasionally slip through the net, their attacks will at most cause a small injury to the Kirov airship with a chrono-temporal protection design, which can be repaired and restored by the airship itself.
The Americans used high-powered surface-to-air missiles as traps, but these slightly primitive missiles were still detonated by electronic jamming and metal foil strips on the airship, and even the last means of defense such as the "quail" on the airship and the close-in defense artillery were useless.
After tossing all kinds of tricks, the Americans had to find out with dismay that they couldn't help those behemoths.
The U.S. property transfer plan is about to fall apart. (To be continued......)
