Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In April 1944, the air war over the United States began.

    This is a tug-of-war between bombing and counter-bombing. Whoever can control the sky will take the initiative in the war. This is very well known to the commanders of China and the United States.

    As for the control of air superiority, the Chinese are undoubtedly more urgent.

    They need the sky, they need to drop bombs one by one, and they need to use their ultimate secret weapon to completely end the war.

    The same goes for the U.S. Air Force.

    They need to protect this country at all costs

    Since humans broke away from animals and walked upright and developed thinking, fantasies and pursuits have also emerged.  It is this fantasy and pursuit of a better life that drives the progress and development of human civilization.  Although the accumulation of knowledge of our ancestors sometimes did not allow them to consciously produce magical inventions, they have always been good at finding inspiration from imitation of the natural world.  The birth of balloons, airships, and airplanes is a clear example.

    September 19, 1783, Place de Versailles, Paris, France.

    Accompanied by many civil and military officials, King Louis XVI of France braved the scorching heat of early autumn and sat on the viewing platform in the square.  The square was crowded with more than 100,000 high-spirited Parisians.  Today, they will watch the first hot air balloon flight with "passengers" in human history.  From the idea of ??flying to the initial realization of this ideal, how many ups and downs have human beings experienced!  How arduous and long this journey is!

    Thousands of years ago.  When our ancestors living in poverty saw the free-flying birds and magpies, they had many beautiful reveries: It would be great if they could get rid of their shackles and fly into the blue sky, soaring freely like birds!  Whether in China, India, ancient Babylon, or Rome, myths about human flight are very rich and spectacular.  For example, Chang'e flies to the moon, Dunhuang flies to the sky, and angels with wings, etc.  These widely circulated myths reflect mankind's desire for flight.

    Although the level of technological development at that time was still unable to meet human expectations for flight, people have never given up their pursuit and exploration of beautiful ideals.  Especially the Chinese people, who have a long history of civilization.  With their hard work, they have made outstanding contributions to the development of the world's aviation industry.  As early as the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago, Lu Ban, the founder of the construction industry, created a wooden kite that could fly.  "Mozi? Lu Wen Pian" records: "Ban cut the bamboo to make a magpie, and then it flew. It did not fall for three days." By the Western Han Dynasty.  In our country, kites that use the principle of aerodynamics to fly into the sky have appeared.  It is generally believed that kites are the most primitive flying machines and the ancestors of modern aircraft.  During the Wang Mang period, some people imitated the shape of flying birds, put on wings made of feathers, jumped from high places, tried to fly, and successfully flew hundreds of steps.

    With the advancement of civilization, foreigners have also proposed the idea of ??flying and began to make attempts in this area.  Around the 5th century AD, a European blacksmith named Weilan made a set of "feather coats".  A series of flight tests were conducted with moderate success.  Later, Weilan also put on a "feather coat" and carried out an act of revenge. He lifted his enemy into the air and dropped him to the ground to his death.  In the 13th century AD, Russia's Chatochnik had a similar record in his manuscript: someone wearing wings made of silk flew safely down from the top of a very high church.

    In 1903, the French LeBaudy brothers built the world's first truly practical airship.  The airship flew 61 kilometers on November 12 of the same year.

    Since then, the development of balloons and airships has entered its heyday, and they have been widely used in the military and transportation fields.  In terms of military affairs, Germany, France, Russia, Britain and other countries have successively established airship units and introduced airships to the battlefield.  For example, in the American-Turkish War of 1911.  The United States used three airships for the first time to conduct reconnaissance and bombing of Turkey; on August 5, 1914, Germany used Berlin airships to bomb the French fortress city of Liege on a large scale; a year later, Germany dispatched five more LZ-38 Zeppelins  The airship crossed the English Channel and bombed London; killing 7 people and injuring more than 30 people, causing a "Zeppelin" panic among the Chinese.  In terms of transportation, Germany established a regular airship air route between Frankfurt and Dusseldorf on June 28, 1910.  Flying on this route is the LZ-7 Zeppelin airship, which can carry 24 passengers and 12 aircrew and can fly at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour.  In 1912, a Zeppelin flew around the world for the first time in 20 days.

    During the period when airships were booming, the airplane, a more important and meaningful invention in the history of flight development, was born, inspiring the future of the world by the Wright brothers of the United States!

    After the advent of the airplane, human civilization took a big step forward, but the disasters brought by war also escalated April 6, 2017.

    A sea and air battle broke out between China and the United States.

    27 Falcon 21 torpedo attack aircraft and 60bsp; The commander standing by the control tower said nothing. As usual, he patted the squadron leader on the shoulder vigorously.  The squadron leader understood, turned around and ran to his phone.

    The loudspeaker gave the order to prepare for takeoff.  The pilot and navigator tightened their parachute harnesses.  A final check of the instruments was made and the engine was started.  The wheel blocker lay on the deck and inserted the wheel blocks into the aircraft.  The propellers rotated rapidly, shining with light.  Amidst the roar, the flight deck lights turned on.  20:35.  A light green beam of light emitted from the signal platform above the bridge.  The flight commander ordered the wheels to be removed, and the squadron commander increased the throttle.  The plane rumbled across the flight deck, lifted into the wind, and disappeared into the vast night.

    Within a few minutes.  12 planes took off one after another.  Nine of them climbed to an altitude of 2,300 meters.  Three "V" shaped groups were formed. The remaining three aircraft were blocked by clouds and could not join the formation, so they had to fly alone.

    An audio listening station far offshore reported hearing the sound of an aircraft.  Todes ordered an alarm, and the whole city of Sheboygan suddenly went dark. Citizens hurried into the air raid shelters under the command of military police. The ships in the harbor immediately prepared to anchor and evacuate.  The anti-aircraft gun on the eastern hilltop of the harbor may have lost control due to excessive tension, and a string of tracer bullets shot into the night sky.  But soon everything calmed down.  After 10 minutes, the alarm was lifted.

    Fifty-nine minutes later, the alarm sounded again, but calm returned again.

    The residents are numb and the soldiers on guard are tired.  Only Todes remained at his command post, and he secretly prayed: I hope it will always be a misunderstanding.

    At 11 o'clock in the night, the sleeping residents and soldiers were awakened by the third alarm.  While people were still cursing this prank again and again, the sound of aircraft engines in the southeast direction had gradually grown louder, and the anti-aircraft gun on duty was the first to spit out tongues of flame.

    At this time, the squadron leader was still 50 nautical miles away and was encountering a strong slipstream.  The plane shook violently and erratically.  The three small groups also bumped around like a school of fish.  After finally breaking out of the slipstream, the squadron leader immediately adjusted his formation and accelerated towards the target.

    The squadron leader¡¯s observer was a captain. He was the first to see the orange ballistic trajectory in the leaden night sky ahead, and immediately reminded the squadron leader:

    ¡°That¡¯s Sheboygan.¡±

    "Well, they seem to know that we are coming, and they are setting off fireworks to welcome us." The squadron leader said lightly.

    "It may be that three planes that did not climb reached Sheboygan early!" the captain explained immediately.

    At 23:02, the fleet flew over Sheboygan.  At this time, the 21st antiaircraft artillery company of the US Army held its heads high and was firing vigorously.  Two Chinese aircraft dropped flares outside the barrier of arresting balloons.

    The flare was suspended by a small parachute and set to burn at an altitude of 1,370 meters, illuminating the entire military port as bright as day.  This was also the signal to order the Tempest aircraft to begin a dive.

    At 7,000 feet and 5,000 feet, the surrounding artillery shells exploded to form huge fireballs. The fireballs were connected to form a three-dimensional fire net like a volcanic eruption. The aircraft quickly shuttled through the net, and the bright light of the searchlight made the pilots unable to open their eyes.  .  2,000 feet dive, dive!

    The squadron leader pressed down the nose of the aircraft and flew with his wingman from the west toward the center of the harbor. The huge hull of the USS Minneapolis battleship 5,000 meters away was already vaguely visible.  He flew the plane into a high-speed dive at a small angle, and strings of red and blue fireballs flashed under the fuselage and flew above the plane in an instant.  Suddenly, two blocking balloons appeared in front of him. He quickly swung his fuselage and passed through them, almost hitting the one on the right, which scared him into a cold sweat.  As the plane dived to 30 feet above the sea, he pulled it up and flew over the jetty.  The plane flies close to the water.  The sea water is like a huge mirror, reflecting the fireballs exploded by cannonballs all over the sky, as if there is another world under the sea.

    The unique superstructure of the battleship "Minnea Bosley" gradually became clear.  The naval guns joined the shore guns and fired furiously at the torpedo planes.

    "Minnea Bosley" and the two destroyers obviously discovered his threat and turned their guns to aim at his aircraft.  I saw sparks flashing from the muzzle, blazing and dazzling.  He rushed straight towards the "Minnea Bosley" desperately, and the ship's shadow in the aiming ring instantly expanded, like a castle lying in front of him.  When the plane was about to hit the battleship, he immediately pressed the button and dropped the torpedo.  Due to the sudden weight loss of the aircraft, the nose of the aircraft suddenly lifted up.

    The squadron leader pulled the control stick with his hand and stepped on the helm, trying to make the plane tilt and turn to the right. However, the tail of the plane shook. The squadron leader felt something bad. The tail of the plane was hit, and the plane immediately lost control and headed straight.  Rushed into the sea.

    At this moment, he heard a huge explosion. It was a torpedo hitting the "Minnea Bosley"!  (To be continuedrq!-
