Chapter 629: Revenge 4

"Captain, the enemy is too strong, we have suffered a lot of losses, you can quickly think of a way!"

"Try to dodge inland, the combat radius of the enemy's carrier-based aircraft is almost to the limit, they will have to return soon, everyone hold on, it will only take five or six minutes!"

York didn't know the combat radius and cruising time of the F6 ship battle, he just cheered up his subordinates, because the two sides had been fighting for three minutes, and the American army had lost more than fifty aircraft, while the Chinese Empire had not suffered any losses, which made York have to comfort his subordinates and expect a miracle.

It has to be said that York's luck was a little better, and seven minutes later, the F6 carrier-based fighters of the Chinese Empire successively reached the limit of the combat radius, and they could no longer cover the bomber group and were forced to turn back.

With a large number of F6 fighters returning one after another, the Third Air Wing finally gained numerical superiority after paying the huge price of more than 200 fighters being shot down.

At 8:32 a.m., four P51 fighters of the US military shot down a Jian-11 fighter of the Chinese Empire in a ten-sided ambush formation, creating a record for the first time since the start of the Sino-US war that the US military shot down a Jian-11 jet fighter, but these four P51 fighters were quickly shot down by the opposing wingman, two of them were injured, and the other was forced to flee in the desert until other colleagues came to the rescue.

Due to the return of the naval aviation of the Chinese Empire, the Bermuda Air Wing was escorted by less than 300 Jian-11 fighters, while the US army still had more than 700 fighters, attacking with a huge numerical advantage. And the escort fighters of the Bermuda Air Wing if they escaped. The US planes will not be able to catch up under any circumstances, but the problem is that they must escort the 550 B2 bombers to the skies over Washington safely, and they cannot leave until then, so they are destined to fight to the end with the US interceptor group.

Soon, reinforcements arrived from the 15th Air Wing of the US Army, and the number of US interceptors soared to more than 1,600 aircraft, while the losses of the J-11 Group of the Bermuda Air Wing also began to increase. β•”β•—

In the face of the interception of a large number of US fighters. The Bermuda Air Wing soon received the latest instructions from the Atlantic Command, which once again clarified its combat mission, that is, to attract US interceptor groups as the main task and bombing Washington as a secondary mission.

As a result, the Bermuda Air Wing abandoned a direct flight to Washington and headed north along the Chesapeake Bay.

The U.S. Air Defense Command thought it had succeeded in repelling this wave of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, considering that two more large waves of aircraft were approaching from the south and northeast. In order to ensure the safety of Washington's air defense, the tunnel ordered the US fighter group not to pursue.

However. When the US military fleet suddenly stopped pursuing. The Bermuda Air Wing made another U-turn and made a detour to the west. The U.S. fighter group had to turn around again and come back to intercept it, at which point the Bermuda Air Wing turned around again and did not entangle the other side.

Since the fighters of the Bermuda Air Wing are all jet-type, relying on their speed advantage to lead the nose of the US fighter group, the US fighter group cannot stop.

The entire 3rd and 15th Air Wings were pinned down by the Imperial Chinese Air Force in the airspace more than 150 kilometers northeast of Washington. In order to ensure that the US military fleet continues to stay in the air, and in order to achieve the purpose of consuming fuel for US fighters, the Bermuda Air Wing is not blindly going around in circles. From time to time, bomber groups were sent out to attract some fighters who could not help but break away from the large forces of the US military to attack. Then use the escorted J-11 Brigade to annihilate it.

This tactic, known as the most nonsensical harassment and provocation tactic of air combat, was taken to the extreme by the Bermuda Air Wing. In the following 20 minutes, the Bermuda Air Wing only paid the price of six Jian-11 fighters and four B2 bombers, but successfully lured more than 220 US fighters to attack and shot down 53 of them.

Just after 9 o'clock in the morning, 2,200 B2 bombers and 2,400 Jian-11 fighters that took off from the direction of Mexico in the south broke through the interception of several waves of US fighters over the southern part of the United States, losing 48 J-11 fighters and 151 fighters of the US Air Force interceptors. β•”β•—

Although the U.S. Air Force on the Mexican front failed to intercept this group of Imperial Chinese Air Force, they succeeded in delaying the time and greatly relieving the pressure on Washington's air defense around the perimeter. However, this only caused the Caribbean Air Wing of the Chinese Imperial Air Force to arrive in the target airspace one hour later than originally planned, and did not affect the overall combat operations of the Chinese Imperial Air Force.

The US Air Defense Command urgently ordered the US Air Force's Seventh Air Wing to take to the air to intercept it, but soon discovered that the Caribbean Air Wing had more than 2,000 Jian-11 fighters and the Seventh Air Wing's more than 1,000 propeller fighters were no match at all. The York Air Wing was located northeast of Washington at this time, and it was too late to rush to the south for reinforcements, so the US Air Defense Command was forced to order all the fighters of the 11th Air Wing to take off and take off into the air.

As a result, all the more than 4,000 fighters deployed by the US Air Defense Command around Washington have taken to the skies for combat, and they are facing two small and medium-sized bomber groups, the Caribbean Air Wing and the Bermuda Air Wing of the Chinese Empire, and the larger Hawaiian Air Wing will soon arrive on the battlefield, and its huge bomber group formation of more than 10,000 planes will become Washington's nightmare.

At 9:11 a.m., the Caribbean Air Wing arrived in airspace 120 kilometers south of Washington, D.C., where it was intercepted by more than 2,000 fighters of the US Air Force.

A fierce air battle broke out between the two sides.

Unlike the previous situation of the Bermuda Air Wing, the escort fighters of the Caribbean Air Wing are all the most advanced jet J-11 fighters, and there are nearly 2,400 of them, not to mention the small combat radius of the F6 Wildcat carrier-based fighters of the naval aviation, and the J-11 can completely escort to the skies over Washington. The 7th and 11th Air Wings of the US Air Force on the opposite side have less than about 2,300 planes, and the number of both sides is equal, but it is obvious that the combat performance of the US Air Force's P38, P47, P51, and P61 propeller fighters is not at all as good as that of the J-11. β•”β•—

The huge fighter groups of the Chinese and American militaries are divided into dozens of battle echelons. Fierce fighting was fought in the airspace of nearly 6 million cubic kilometers, and the entire sky was suddenly occupied by aircraft groups from both sides. As if they had seen an enemy, the air forces of the two countries were extremely red at each other, and as soon as the battle began, they fell into a white-hot state of chaos.

Thousands of fighter planes circled and dived in the air, and the humming and whistling of the fighters was incessant, especially the roar caused by the engine fire of the Jian-11 jet fighter of the Chinese Empire was even more deafening.

The fighters on both sides, you bite me, I bite you, fiercely chasing and exchanging fire. Many brave Americans on the ground picked up cameras or video cameras to film rare large-scale air battles, and fighter jets were hit and caught fire in the sky every moment. Or a volley that explodes into a giant spark, or a long smoke and smoke that falls to the ground.

Bullet casings soon rained in the sky, and the sound of smashing on the roofs of residential houses and concrete pavements was the best testimony of the fierce battle between the Chinese and American air forces.

The large-scale scuffle of thousands of fighter planes has subverted the concept of air combat in which the air forces of various countries have refused to engage in large-scale melee since World War I. Fierce melee caused the number of fighter losses on both sides to skyrocket. In less than 20 minutes, the US Air Force lost more than 780 fighters. The Caribbean Air Wing of the Chinese Empire also lost more than 200 J-11 fighters.

Originally, the US Air Force was inferior to the Chinese Imperial Air Force in terms of fighter quality. Now, with the number of lost fighters surging, the 7th and 11th Air Wings of the US Air Force are also in a position of weakness in terms of numbers. In the face of the attack of the high-speed jet fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, the losses of the US Air Force began to increase rapidly, and defeat was a matter of time.

However, the order given to them by the US Air Defense Command was to hit the last plane. This order would have been unimaginable in the previous US administration and the US military, because Americans would always put their own lives first, and the government would not have given a so-called death order. β•”β•—

But now it's different. After the National Socialist (Nazi) Party led by Roosevelt came to power, the entire US military has been completely brainwashed by Roosevelt. Roosevelt even imitated Hitler and set up organizations such as the SS and the Gestapo to strengthen the spirit of the US military not afraid of death and dedicating their lives to the country. Of course. This is also related to the environment in which the United States finds itself, after being defeated by the Chinese Empire, the United States ceded land and paid reparations, lost its sovereignty, and the people's lives were miserable.

It is precisely in this general environment that the US Air Defense Command will issue an order to fight to the death to the last soldier, and most of the pilots of the US Air Force have no choice but to fight to the death with the mentality that killing one is enough to kill two and earn one, and a small number of US pilots who want to slip away are also powerless to return to the sky, because they find that they have been bitten by the planes of the Chinese Empire, and the laws of the battlefield tell them that those who flee will die faster, so they can only fight hard.

Propeller fighters engage jet fighters in aerial combat, and in the age of long-range combat missiles, this kind of combat is a matter of death.

Half an hour after the two sides fought, the US Air Force had already lost more than 600 fighters, and the proportion of losses was constantly rising, indicating that the number of US fighters was drastically decreasing and that it was in the process of accelerating its defeat in the face of the fierce offensive of the Imperial Chinese Air Force.

The most terrible thing is that all the fighters of the 7th and 11th Air Wings of the US Air Force were intercepted by the fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, and there was no way to intercept the bomber groups of the Imperial Chinese Empire. The US Air Force had to watch as more than 2,000 B2 tactical jet bombers flew over their heads without fear and flew straight toward Washington.

The US Air Defense Command on the ground had a clear view of the entire air battlefield, so it ordered the 3rd Air Wing and the 7th Air Wing in the northeast to send two-thirds of their fighters back to intercept them.

Knowing that the situation had deteriorated, York had to send two-thirds of its fighters back for reinforcements, leaving only about 500 fighters to continue to block the more than 200 J-11 fighters of the Bermuda Air Wing. β•”β•—

York thought that his movements would not be detected by the other side, but to his embarrassment, the Chinese Imperial fighter planes were equipped with radar systems, and he soon detected that the American fighters on the opposite side had withdrawn two-thirds of them. With less than 500 fighters left on alert, the air forces of other countries would not dare to risk twice as many enemy planes as their own. However, as far as the Imperial Chinese Air Force is concerned, they dare to take two out of two with advanced jet fighters, and even many ace pilots have rushed to boast of going to Haikou to be one of ten.

No sooner had York drawn a thousand warplanes to the south for reinforcements than the Bermuda Air Wing returned, forcing York and his 500 men to rush into battle.

The number of warplanes on both sides was greatly reduced, and York lost its numerical advantage, and the average of two warplanes to intercept one plane of the Chinese Empire was barely enough. But there were no extra forces left to intercept the more than 500 bombers of the Bermuda Air Wing. I had to watch the other party pounce on Washington.

In the US Ground Air Defense Command, Roosevelt couldn't wait to come and supervise the battle. But what he heard from the loudspeakers in the command room was hardly a report of shooting down an enemy plane, except for the shouts of "I was hit," "I can't see the enemy," "I asked for reinforcements," and "I am falling."

"I'm finally getting into a fight!"

Hearing this voice once in a while was a luxury for Roosevelt and all of the U.S. military.

"Is there such a big gap with jet fighters?"

Roosevelt asked Abby next to him with an expression of disbelief on his face, and Abby sighed and said, "According to the results of our series of jet aircraft development tests, this is indeed the case. The speed of the propeller fighter has reached its limit, and there is very little room for further improvement. And the jet fighter just fills this gap, and this is a qualitative leap. It's no longer a problem that quantity can reverse. ”

Roosevelt frowned and said, "Do you mean that we can only compete with the Imperial Chinese Air Force by developing jet fighters?" ”

"I'm afraid so!" Abby was a little reluctant to admit it. But he had to answer realistically, and this is about the future of the US Air Force.

Roosevelt let out a long sigh and asked, "So our air force is no longer able to stop the bomber group of the Chinese Empire?" So how long can they hold out? We still have a lot of organs, documents and equipment to move to bomb shelters and underground bunkers, which will take seven or eight hours, and I ask you to hold on for a few more hours! ”

"How many hours?" Abby suddenly smiled bitterly, and said with a face that was more ugly than crying: "At most, it can last for half an hour?" ”

"What? Just half an hour? You can't last half an hour, can you? ”

Roosevelt glared at him, his eyebrows furrowed in anger.

Abby just calmly took off her military hat. Wiped the dust off it and asked, "Mr. President." If you want to quarrel with me, I think it's too costly. If you have the skills, you should quickly order the relocation of important documents and equipment to a safe place underground! ”

"Youβ€”" Roosevelt pointed at Abby, very angry, but had to agree with Abby's words, so he stopped arguing with him and summoned his subordinates to urgently deploy rescue operations.

The Roosevelt administration did not realize how much impact the retaliatory action of the Chinese Empire could have on Washington, and they deployed more than 4,000 fighter planes and more than a dozen anti-aircraft artillery regiments around Washington in detail, and they saw that this powerful air defense force was enough to repel the air raids of the Chinese Empire.

But it wasn't until this moment that Roosevelt and the others understood that this time they had really stabbed a hornet's nest, and the strength of the Chinese Empire was far stronger than they estimated. There are more than 2,500 bombers in the south and east, and in the northwest, it has received reports that more than 10,000 planes are approaching Washington at high speed.

What shocked Roosevelt even more was that this was only the air power that the Chinese Empire temporarily withdrew from various bases in the island chain to defend the United States, and looking at the air force deployed by the Chinese Empire on its own territory, as well as in Africa and Europe, it was conservatively estimated that it was more than 10 times the strength of the American Air Force.

"It's horrible!"

Roosevelt blurted out unconsciously, and immediately realized that he had lost his words, and he could not say such things in front of others.

Before the people around him could react, Roosevelt hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The Chinese Empire will not carry out a nuclear strike on us, right?" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Roosevelt mentioned the word nuclear strike, everyone forgot what he had just said, and all of them showed a look of horror.

Marshall then said, "I don't think so!" After all, an air raid on a country's capital is already contrary to international public opinion, and the Chinese Empire will definitely not easily use the atomic bomb against humanity. Judging from the current situation, the Chinese Empire dispatched at least 15,000 planes to attack Washington, and if it is a nuclear bomb, a fortress in the air is enough, and it is not superfluous to make such a big battle? ”

Roosevelt nodded and said, "You have a point!" ”

MacArthur sighed and said, "The Chinese Empire's inability to use nuclear weapons only shows that we are still under their control, and the situation is still in the hands of the Chinese Empire." If the Chinese Empire is unable to grasp the situation, then there is no need to ask, they will definitely use nuclear weapons. In other words, the conventional military power of the Chinese Empire would be enough to defeat us or even bring down the entire Allied bloc. ”

Abby had already closed her eyes and said, "What's the use of talking about that now?" War has already been declared, so let's take care of the present! Don't you hear the feather-like whistling outside? ”

Abby's words immediately alarmed Roosevelt and the others, and everyone was immediately silenced, and one of them suddenly asked, "This voice isβ€”"

"Aerial bombs!"

"Prepare for shock!"

At the same time that everyone realized that the bomber group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force began to drop bombs, one after another high-explosive aerial bombs had already landed and exploded.
