"Since the Air Force is in trouble, let's go up." The commander of the PLA Second Artillery Corps said with a smile at the seminar on the battle situation that although the Second Artillery Corps did not completely participate in the war after the start of the war, the only thing that could be regarded as some success was the use of V4 short-range missiles.

Originally, the second artillery could be regarded as a key weapon of the country, and it could not be used at a critical moment. However, in recent years, the Second Artillery Corps has also worked very hard to develop its own tactical strike force, and in addition to the V4 short-range missile family, the Second Artillery also has a large number of Long Sword cruise missiles for land-to-land attacks. The combination of short-range missiles and cruise missiles together constitutes the tactical attack force of the Second Artillery Corps.

However, in Madagascar's attack on South Africa, the general short-range tactical ballistic missiles are not enough, and medium-range ballistic missiles with a range of about 1500-3000 kilometers must be used, which refers to the Dongfeng-21 and Dongfeng-25 missiles in the Dongfeng missile family.

In this plane, because Qi Yiming brought very powerful ICBMs such as Dongfeng-31A and Julang-2 at the beginning, the PLA's demand for medium-range missiles is not particularly huge, and it does not regard medium-range missiles such as Dongfeng-21 as the country's main nuclear carrier, in fact, a large number of Dongfeng-21 are equipped with ordinary high-explosive warheads for conventional strikes.

Later, with the progress of manufacturing technology and technology, the cost of producing medium-range missiles also plummeted, so that the military and Qi Yiming have hoarded a lot of medium-range missiles, after the outbreak of the war, these missiles have become an important magic weapon for China to carry out tactical strikes within a range of 1500-3000 kilometers.

However, the Second Artillery Corps' plan to attack South Africa with medium-range missiles has still aroused a certain amount of doubt, and some high-ranking military officials are worried: "After all, medium-range missiles are different from short-range missiles, and if they are used, they may cause unnecessary panic among the United States, Britain, and France, and it is possible that they may directly use long-range or even intercontinental missiles to attack us with nuclear weapons, which is not good." ”

This point of view was also quickly refuted, "It is now a world war, and if the United States, Britain and France want to use nuclear weapons, they do not need any excuse, and being bound by this fear at the moment of war can only affect our morale and combat ability, and only by being indomitable and fearless can we win the war." ”

In the end, the use of medium-range missiles to attack South Africa was decided, but the landlord's family had no surplus food, and China had saved a lot of arms, but it could not be ignored, and in this attack, the Military Commission approved the Second Artillery Corps to use 30 Dongfeng-21 medium-range ballistic missiles to attack relatively large South African military targets, mainly to deter South Africa, because ballistic missiles have been used as weapons, and what may be used next, everyone should have a little calculation.

Since the US military was stationed in South Africa, it has also made some preparations to guard against missile attacks, and two Patriot systems have been deployed in South Africa; although the US air defense and anti-missile systems have never had any achievements worth boasting about against Chinese missiles, they are better than nothing.

The missile attack of the Chinese is actually very smart, this missile attack was accompanied by the second large-scale air raid of the air force, China not only dispatched a large number of fighters and bombers, but also a large number of electronic warfare aircraft, several century bombers modified by electronic warfare also participated in the battle.

These electronic warfare planes used very strong electromagnetic interference, and the electromagnetic interference of the range attack had a severe impact on the US fighters, and also had a fatal impact on many radar communication systems on the ground. When the American Patriot system began to work, it was found that a snowflake appeared on the radar screen, and although the electromagnetic interference of the Chinese was separated by tens of kilometers, it was still able to suppress these air defense systems. And the bombers of the century, with optical stealth and plasma stealth, are simply impossible to detect by the enemy, and they are able to carry out electronic warfare suppression at will, thereby facilitating the strike of medium-range missiles.

On the other hand, a lot of attention of the US military was attracted by the second large-scale air raid by the Chinese Air Force, this time the PLA is the fighter first mode, and a large number of fighters carry not only air supremacy weapons but also ground weapons, which makes these fighters can fight with the enemy in the air, and can also be turned into deadly bombers against ground targets at any time. In addition to the surprise attack by a large number of multi-role fighters, the navy also dispatched a large number of Sword carrier-based attack planes to strike at land targets in South Africa from different directions.

Although the bomb load of the sword UAV is not as good as that of the Qiang-7, and it cannot even be supersonic, it is a UAV after all, and the psychological burden borne by the military during the strike is smaller, and it is a consumable military asset. In particular, the sword's huge combat radius allows them to attack the enemy from several different directions.

In fact, these sharp swords are the protagonists of today's air raid, and the bombers such as Backfire and Thor sent by the Chinese Air Force are actually mainly used for pretense and scaring people. However, the U.S. military didn't think so, and they kept sending fighters to tear through the defenses of the Chinese fighters and break over to shoot down these Chinese bombers, but the bomber door was far away from the fighter group this time, and the U.S. military was difficult to approach for a while.

And some Chinese fighters they accidentally let go, but instead hit at high speed, with a small number of bombs to attack some South African military targets, which made the Americans very headache, and had to order the fighters to intercept the Chinese fighters, while at the same time maintaining a high degree of vigilance against the Chinese bombers.

The real nightmare struck at this time, when thirty medium-range ballistic missiles launched from the island of Madagascar pierced the sky and burst out of the atmosphere, while at the same time the Americans' anti-missile early warning satellites suffered a technical malfunction, and in fact the Chinese PLA was testing their newly developed anti-satellite jamming device. With a delay of only a few tens of seconds, the US military has missed a good opportunity to discover these medium-range missiles, and the Patriots on the ground have also been affected by the electronic bombers of the century, and they have become deaf and blind because they cannot grasp combat targets.

In the end, all 30 missiles hit the target, many of which were urban targets, and the huge mushroom cloud pushed by the explosion of the high-explosive warhead made the South Africans there tremble, and this missile attack caused greater losses than the last air raid, especially the shells of many military and civilian airports in South Africa were completely blown up, and the oil depot on which South Africa relied was also destroyed, which pushed South Africa into the abyss of war.
