Chapter 330: Declaration of War on Fuso, First Round of Strategic Bombing
[Huaxin News Nationwide Telegram:
The Japanese pirates are barbarians and a small country. They have been influenced by Chinese culture for thousands of years, but their wolfish nature is hard to change. Since the Ming Dynasty, they have repeatedly invaded the sea and plundered and killed the people living along the coast.
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese pirates have exposed their wolfish ambitions, encroaching on our territory, advancing step by step, splitting our territory and killing our people.
Such evil neighbors are hated by both humans and gods, and are not tolerated by heaven and earth.
Today, our ancient nation has millions of soldiers, mountains of grain, and an iron-clad torrent, unstoppable; giant ships cleave the waves, iron eagles cover the sky; this time, the royal army will conquer the north and march on the western capital.
This national telegram was issued on March 41, 3, and was also a manifesto and declaration of war against Fuso.
If we were to ask which country the people of the ancient country hated the most, Fusang would definitely be ranked first, followed by England.
Plus the public opinion propaganda during this period.
When this manifesto was released, it also received support from people across the country.
The tiny Fusang is just a small country, but it has repeatedly offended the majesty of heaven and rebelled against the heaven. Now is the time to let this barbarian know what the majesty of the heaven is.
Fighter jets took off one after another from the 11 military airports in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.
There are various types of aircraft including early warning aircraft, fighter jets, bombers, electronic warfare aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, etc., with the number of takeoffs exceeding 500.
For a time, the sky over the entire southern part of Goryeo was covered with fighter planes.
The first wave of air strikes by the ancient air force against Fuso began.
Rushing at the front of the fleet is the fastest F-15 Eagle fighter.
The F-15 Eagle fighter jets, either in groups of two or four, flew towards the radar network deployed in the southern part of Fuso.
The radar equipped by Fuso is actually England's previous generation domestic chain radar, which is not equipped with a magnetron, so its performance is not very reliable.
Although this radar is old, it can still provide certain early warning.
So the Air Force sent the first batch of fighter jets to conduct ultra-low-altitude penetration and destroy these radar stations.
The RC-135 strategic electronic reconnaissance aircraft had already locked onto the locations of these radar stations.
Through the onboard global navigation system, the fighter jet directly sets the route and flies over on automatic pilot.
When the F-15 fighter jet was about 40 kilometers away from the radar station, it began to climb to an altitude of 1000 meters and then launched the AGM-54 anti-radiation missile it was carrying.
The huge electromagnetic radiation generated by the radar station during transmission provides a stable radiation source for the missile.
Amidst the bursts of explosions, Fuso's domestic radar air defense network, which had been built at great expense of money and manpower, was completely destroyed in a short period of time.
After destroying Fuso's radar, a large group of bombers began to approach.
The first wave of strategic bombing was carried out by a bomber group consisting of 288 strategic bombers.
The primary targets are the three cities of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Fukuoka in Japan.
These three cities are also the three largest industrial cities in Fuso today.
More than half of the heavy industry is concentrated in these three cities.
For example, the Yawata Steel Works, the largest steel plant in Fuso, is located in Fukuoka.
As long as these three industrial cities are destroyed, Fuso's industrial potential will be destroyed by half.
After the radar station was destroyed, Fuso also quickly launched an air defense response.
As soon as the ancient country issued the manifesto, their radar station was attacked, which meant that the air strike had begun.
At the front-line airport on Kyushu Island, one Sakura jet fighter after another roared into takeoff.
The Sakura Jet is a domestically produced jet fighter developed by Fuso.
However, Fuso did not have the ability to develop and produce jet engines, so they purchased English jet engines.
With its straight-wing shape and two engines with a thrust of about one ton, its performance is better than the ME-262 Feiyan jet fighter of the original time and space.
However, the performance of this Sakura jet fighter is still not very reliable, and various problems frequently occur.
But Fuso can only pin all its hopes on this jet fighter.
Hundreds of Sakura jet fighters formed a large fleet and converged towards Fukuoka.
If the ancient country's air force launched a strategic bombing against Fuso, Fukuoka would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
Because the Yawata Steel Works in Fukuoka is the largest steel base.
So they must keep this steel base.
In addition to the Sakura jet fighters, they also deployed hundreds of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns with a caliber of over 100 mm around the Yawata Steel Works.
Over the Tsushima Strait, an E-3 Sentry airborne early warning aircraft performing a surveillance mission on Kyushu Island spotted a fleet of Sakura aircraft taking off.
"A large group of enemy aircraft, suspected to be jet fighters, was spotted converging over Fukuoka.
The 274th, 293rd and 300th Squadrons went forward to conduct reconnaissance and destroy the enemy aircraft groups, completing the air clearance mission.
The bomber group will enter the area for bombing after completing the air clearance mission."
The 274th Squadron and the 293rd Squadron are a little further away from the front line, and the closest to Fukuoka are the F-16 medium fighter jets that are performing forward reconnaissance missions.
After receiving instructions from the AWACS through the common data link, the 300 F-24s of the 16th Squadron began to accelerate.
The F-16 is a low-cost multi-purpose fighter of the Air Force and is also one of the main multi-purpose fighters of the Air Force.
Whether it is flight performance or combat performance, this fighter has made the Air Force very satisfied.
Compared to the F-14 Tomcat, the Air Force actually prefers the F-16.
The F-14 Tomcat fighter does have good performance, but its swept-wing structure is relatively complex.
For a combat aircraft, the complex mechanical structure brings a higher failure rate and dead weight, which will affect combat efficiency.
Therefore, the F-14 Tomcat is more commonly equipped in the navy.
The Air Force mainly uses F-15 and F-16 fighter jets for high and low combinations.
As the Air Force's main multi-purpose aircraft, the F-16 fighter is naturally quite capable.
It has a maximum take-off weight of 19 tons, a flight speed of 1.7 Mach per hour, a range of 3800 kilometers, and a payload of 7.8 tons.
这次F-16主要执行的是防御性空战任务，所以携带了两个副油箱，2枚AIM-9响尾蛇格斗弹和6枚AIM-7麻雀中距弹。
F-16 fighter jets flew at high speed above the clouds, leaving clearly visible trails in the air.
"Enemy contact ahead, all aircraft attack freely!"
After the squadron leader issued the order, 12 pair-plane formations began free flight.
The squadron leader flew straight forward with his wingman.
At this time, the onboard fire control radar had also locked onto the enemy aircraft.
"Whoosh..."
An AIM-7 Sparrow medium-range missile whizzed out.
The wingman followed suit and fired a medium-range missile.
A distance of more than 30 kilometers only takes about 4 seconds for an air-to-air missile with a speed of up to Mach 20.
Two Sakura fighter planes that were performing reconnaissance missions exploded one after another.
The 40kg fighter jet instantly destroyed the thin-skinned and large-stuffed Sakura fighter, causing it to explode and disintegrate in the air.
In order to save resources and enhance the performance of their fighter planes, the Fuso people simply gave up armor.
The fuel tank only has a layer of armor that is better than nothing.
So when the 40-kilogram warhead exploded at close range, the fighter plane directly turned into a ball of aerial torch.
"Baga, air raid!"
The Fuso fleet suddenly panicked.
However, no matter how hard they looked, they could not find any trace of fighter planes, and they didn't even know which direction the attack came from.
In less than half a minute, a series of Sparrow medium-range missiles attacked.
The F-16 group launched a medium-range precision attack on Fuso's Sakura group.
“Boom…Boom…Boom…”
One Sakura fighter after another exploded in the air.
However, the Fuso pilots still found no trace of the ancient country's fighter planes.
"Missiles, it's missiles!"
The successive attacks caused the Fuso pilots to panic.
A sharp-eyed Fuso pilot spotted a missile flying past him at high speed.
Although they only saw a blurry black shadow, they still recognized it.
But what’s the use of recognizing it?
Now the F-16 group has completed the encirclement of the Fuso group.
Even if some Sakura fighters chose to flee at this time, they still could not escape the aerial sniping.
What's more, their speed cannot even outpace the F-1.7 fighter jet's Mach 16.
This air battle is a unilateral dimensionality reduction attack.
The Fuso side was hunted down without even seeing the shadow of the F-16.
In ten minutes, 24 F-16 fighter jets completed the air clearance mission.
由8个轰炸机中队96架图-22M3逆火和图-95组成的轰炸机群开始登场。
This bombing has two phased tasks.
The first phase of the mission was to carry out precision bombing on the Yawata Steel Works.
This bombing mission was completed by the fastest Tu-22M3 Backfire strategic bomber.
3 Tu-36M22 Backfire strategic bombers from three squadrons flew at an altitude of 3 meters.
When they were about 20 kilometers away from the Yawata Steel Works, they began precise air strikes.
One after another, 500kg and 1000kg Suzaku-2 series satellite-guided bombs whizzed down like flowers scattered from the sky.
When the Suzaku-2 satellite-guided bomb fell from the bomb bay, its wings unfolded in the air and it roared towards the area where the Yawata Steel Works was located.
The Suzaku-2 satellite-guided bomb is the second type of satellite-guided bomb developed by the ancient country's Air Force.
It is mainly composed of ordinary bombs and improved satellite guidance components.
The maximum attack range is 25 kilometers and the accuracy can reach 6 meters.
This is also the Air Force's lowest-cost precision-guided weapon currently available.
It is also the most produced precision-guided munition.
Dense satellite-guided bombs fell from the sky, and the flames of the explosions instantly engulfed the entire Yawata Steel Works.
The raw material processing workshop, sintering plant, coking plant, open-hearth workshop, continuous casting workshop, rolling mill workshop, finished product warehouse, hot blast furnace and other factory buildings and equipment were destroyed one after another in the violent, intensive and precise explosions.
The large-caliber anti-aircraft guns deployed at the Yawata Iron and Steel Works and surrounding areas played no role at all.
36 Tu-22M3 Backfire strategic bombers dropped hundreds of tons of satellite-guided bombs, successfully destroying the Yawata Iron and Steel Works, which had an annual output of over one million tons.
Then the 60 Tu-95 strategic bombers that arrived later began carpet bombing the city of Fukuoka.
High-explosive bombs, incendiary bombs, cluster bombs and even fuel-air explosives were used.
60架满载着20多吨各型航弹的图-95战略轰炸机在20分钟内就将1000多吨的航弹投了下去。
Most of the city of Fukuoka was engulfed in flames from the explosion.
Fukuoka is just one of them. The other two cities were also attacked by strategic bombers during the same period, and their damage was even worse than Fukuoka.
Because the strategic bombers that carried out the attacks on the two heavy industrial cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were B-52H strategic bombers.
