In the Anglo-South War of that year, the Diego Garcia base was used by the British army to interfere with the independence of the South Seas, and at that time it was already exposed that this naval base located in the center of the Indian Ocean, with a very small area, although its strategic location was important, its war potential was still very insufficient. After the Anglo-South War, the base was mainly used by the U.S. military, where the U.S. military deployed a number of combat ships of small tonnage, as well as dozens of B-52 bombers and KC-135 tankers. U.S. B-2 stealth bombers were also briefly deployed at this base.

In order to accomplish Bush Jr.'s strike on the Chinese armed forces and thus show the prestige of the US military, the US military had no choice but to use US bombers at the Diego Garcia base; these bombers have just been equipped with the latest models of Tomahawk cruise missiles of the US military, thus enhancing their ability to defend against attacks outside the zone; although there is a huge risk in this air raid mission, the Americans believe that it is still very difficult for the Chinese military to grasp the movements of US planes in the Indian Ocean, and as long as the US military runs away after the fight, there should be no major problem.

The U.S. military intends to use India's airspace to bomb Chinese troops, so that it can evade Chinese interception as much as possible. However, even through India is not completely safe. The Chinese port of Hambantota in Sri Lanka is also a Chinese military base, where the Chinese military does not have a permanent military presence, but there are military facilities where the navy can resupply and moor, and there is a Chinese-built X-band radar to monitor the area. It is impossible for the US military plane to make a detour too far, and there is still a good chance that it will be detected by Chinese radar, and if that happens, China may send fighter planes to intercept the US bomber in advance, and the US military may suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, the Diego Garcia base is quite far away from northeast India, thousands of kilometers, and even if the B-52 can fly over, the fighters escorted by the United States will definitely not be able to fly there, and the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower, which is stationed in the Persian Gulf by the US Fifth Fleet, will face the encirclement and interception of China's Indian Ocean Fleet, and if the Eisenhower comes out of the Strait of Hormuz, it will inevitably be followed or even attacked by the Sichuan aircraft carrier stationed in Gwadar.

In fact, the US military has ballistic missiles that can directly hit the Chinese "invading army" in northeastern India, but once China detects that the United States has launched a ballistic missile, no matter why the ballistic missile is launched, whether it uses a nuclear warhead or not, China will immediately launch a second nuclear strike against the United States, thus triggering an even more terrible nuclear war.

It is not that the Bush administration has not considered a nuclear war with China, but it is definitely not a situation where nuclear bombs are thrown at each other as soon as they come up, and both sides retain a tacit understanding that they will not use nuclear weapons against each other.

In this case, the US military carried out the so-called Thor's hammer plan, and the US bombers of Diego Garcia could only launch land-based Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of more than 2,500 kilometers at the Chinese troops, risking being intercepted and attacked by Chinese fighters. The new Tomahawk cruise missile has better accuracy, and at the same time the stealth penetration performance has also been improved, the B-52 Stratofortress can drop this missile from 2,000 kilometers away, and then immediately turn around, and GPS guidance will do the final work for the Americans.

However, in order to avoid the threat of Chinese radar and warplanes, the US military finally chose to fly from the left side of the South Asian subcontinent to avoid the Chinese radar in Hambantota.

In order to make the air raids so powerful and safe, the US military dispatched 12 B-52 bombers, which are still old and strong after decades of service, and are deeply loved by the US Air Force. However, as the enemy of the United States has transformed into China, which has advanced military technology, it will be difficult for the B-52 to adapt to the new battlefield environment.

In fact, even if it is China's H-8 Thor bomber, which is close in size to the B-52, it is actually not regarded by the military as the main bombing force, and its role and status are even inferior to the Tu-22M Backfire, a large number of supersonic bombers inherited from the former Soviet Union. Only when air supremacy in the theater is completely mastered, bombers such as the H-8 and B-52 can have a certain usefulness.

The U.S. military's implementation of the Thor's hammer plan is not without considering the use of stealth B-2 bombers, but in view of the previous one-day war in Kosovo, China obviously has the technology of how to detect stealth aircraft, so there is no essential difference between B-2 and B-52, and the cost of B-2 is high, and the Americans are reluctant to send it to such a dangerous occasion, so it is better to let the less precious B-52 play the leading role in this mission.

In the plan, the US military believed that it should first attack the Chinese radar station in Hambantota, Sri Lanka, with anti-radiation missiles, so as to reduce the danger of US bombers being discovered, but Bush Jr. made another evil decision, saying that if he attacked Hambantota, Sri Lanka would be involved, and this was inappropriate. Although Sri Lanka is not a member of the SCO, it is also a country close to China, and it is really quite strange logic that Bush can make up his mind to attack China without wanting to hurt Sri Lanka.

The reason why the US military did not strongly oppose Bush's indecisive decision was also because it relied on bombers to launch anti-radiation missiles, and in fact the threat to the Hambantota base was limited. China has deployed Hongqi-9 anti-aircraft missiles here, and its range is greater than that of the radiation missiles launched by the U.S. military, which exposes bombers to the killing range of Chinese anti-aircraft missiles. Even if this opportunity is implemented, the possibility of success is actually limited, and it is more likely to be a surprise.

There are also people who hope to use electromagnetic interference and other means to affect the operation of the Hambantota radar station, but the United States does not have the same mastery of such technology as China, and the electromagnetic interference that affects the large early warning radar of the Hambantota will not be emitted by any large electronic warfare aircraft platform, so the US military cannot completely interfere with this radar.

In the end, the only option for the U.S. military was to sneak attack from the left and run away after the fight. Naturally, there is a considerable risk associated with such an attack, but the US military also admits that if the attack is successful, it will have a tremendous effect, boost the prestige of the US military, and deal a blow to the arrogance of the Chinese military.

After communicating with the Indian side, the US military took off 12 B-52 bombers from the Diego Garcia base, drew a left arc, and entered the South Asian continent from the Arabian Sea, where the US bombers were relatively safe, and the Indian Air Force would provide the necessary protection for the US bombers, although the two sides did not establish a combat system that could be connected.

China's X-band radar in Hambantota has long detected the movements of US bombers, not to mention that China's spy satellites have been facing several important points in the Indian Ocean, including Diego Garcia, so the US military's actions are under the control of the Chinese.

However, the route chosen by the US military is also relatively good, and if the Chinese naval air force from Gwadar in the west takes off to intercept it, it is unlikely to catch up, and it will also be counterattacked by the Indian Air Force, and if the two Chinese aircraft carriers in the Bay of Bengal also want to send carrier-based aircraft to intercept them, they will also be intercepted by the Indian Air Force.

After receiving the news that the US military had sent bombers, Zhang Juzuo immediately dispatched J-31 Eagle stealth fighters on several ships to fly over the Bay of Bengal into India's airspace to prepare to intercept the US bombers. The Indian army's reaction was also unsurprisingly half a beat slower, probably because the J-31 itself is a stealth fighter, and it is difficult for the Indian army to quickly detect it and lock on to it.

By the time the J-31 flew to the Telangandhi area of northern Andhra Pradesh, India, the U.S. bombers had already entered the BVR strike range of the J-31, but at this time, a number of F-15IN of the Indian army had caught up and began to entangle with the J-31, and the Tomahawk missiles of the U.S. bombers also entered their own strike range.

A J-31 preemptively launched a new generation of medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles PL-14, which can attack enemy targets at a high speed of Mach 5, and has an astonishingly large overload and anti-jamming capabilities. The bombers of the US military themselves are relatively bulky, and there is no way to encounter such a flexible and intelligent missile, and they are directly hit. However, because the B-52 is relatively large, although this missile hit the fuselage of the bomber, the B-52 was still flying in the air and was not directly shot down.

Seeing the Chinese fighters attack, the Indian fighters were also very urgent, no matter how many seven twenty-one places they launched missiles at the Chinese planes, but they did not seize a favorable position, so the launch of missiles did not threaten the Chinese fighters, and the Chinese fighters quickly counterattacked back with the advantage of generation difference, and shot down four F-15s of the Indian army in just a few minutes of ground and air combat.

However, when the Chinese fighters shot down all the Indian escort fighters, several B-52s that the US military rushed to the front also launched their Tomahawk missiles from the built-in magazine. The J-31 pilot knew that it was a step too late, and he took his anger out on the head of the B-52, and in the absence of any threat, the J-31 fired at the B-52 repeatedly, and finally destroyed 5 B-52s, only two B-52s successfully returned home, and the remaining five were forced to land directly in India.

The J-31 also did not completely watch the cruise missile fly towards southern Tibet and remained indifferent, during which a J-31 engaged in a missile chase. The speed of the Tomahawk itself does not exceed the factor, and the maximum speed of the J-31 exceeds Mach 2, it is not difficult to catch up with these cruise missiles, but it is difficult to shoot down these missiles by launching an aerial gun at high speed. This was not a normal pilot training program, but the pilot still relied on his skills and senses to shoot down three Tomahawks in quick succession.

Even if they were chased and intercepted by many parties, there were still four tomahawks flying into southern Tibet.
