At 3:30 in the afternoon, the eighteen latest third-generation fighters that were delivered to the Air Force and began to be officially installed, equivalent to the Su-27 series of Su-27 series, took off from the Kaohsiung Air Force Airport. The Chinese J5 fighter jets began to soar into the blue sky. As the first aircraft of the Air Force, The wave of surprise forces went straight to the south.
Subsequently, a large number of J1 and J3 fighter planes of various types began to take to the sky for different purposes such as escort and assault.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of H1, H3, H5 and other medium and long-range bombers also began to penetrate into the blue sky.
At four o'clock, eighteen J5 fighters arrived fifty kilometers above the northernmost radar station in the Philippine Islands. Two wingmen used medium-range air-to-surface missiles to eliminate the largest radar station used by the Japanese army in the northern Philippines to monitor the direction of China.
Immediately, eighteen J5 fighter planes began to attack several of the most important Japanese military airports near Manila, Philippines, which had just been taken over by the US military.
At this time, these military airports were in chaos. The US military had just landed in the Philippines today. The vanguard had just symbolically accepted important facilities such as Japanese airports when they received an alert from the northern radar station that an enemy plane was incoming. The radar station sent back the news that it was attacked by a huge bomb carried by a UFO, and the entire radar station was completely destroyed.
At this time, the U.S. and Japanese military forces in the Philippines began to really panic, because of course they knew where these planes came from. More importantly, the U.S. military had just landed in the Philippines, and the Chinese army came to carry out air strikes without any scruples. The news was immediately reported to Pacific Navy Commander Nimitz.
Nimitz couldn't help but burst into anger: The so-called speculations by those bastards above that the Chinese army will be wary of the consequences of formal war with the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other countries, and will not actually launch an attack on the US military, are all bullshit. I really don't know. These guys grew up on what they ate.
Nimitz immediately and decisively ordered that all U.S. troops who had landed on the ground immediately evacuate areas where they interacted with Japanese troops, and all airports and other important Japanese military bases were evacuated.
The two aircraft carrier formations that the navy had never dared to park immediately returned to the high seas. At the same time, they ended the combat status and sent a friendly message to any aircraft coming to China that might be responsible for attack missions. All U.S. troops who did not have time to land immediately returned to the high seas on landing ships.
This series of emergency orders issued by Nimitz without even having time to ask for instructions from his superiors were called by later historians as an example of the most wise and decisive decision-making that a front commander could make.
Because of this series of instructions, the U.S. Navy and Army forces that landed in the Philippine Islands from Hawaii suffered almost no losses.
Another American general was not as lucky as Nimitz. When MacArthur commanded the troops to land on the Indonesian Islands, he also immediately received an air raid alert from the Chinese Air Force. However, the arrogant MacArthur did not take any action. Miz's similar actions instead ordered the US military to immediately speed up the takeover of important facilities such as Japanese air bases, and at the same time began to prepare for coordinated operations with the Japanese army in an attempt to resist China's air attacks. Even ground attack.
MacArthur never expected that the first round of air strikes from China left no room for the U.S. and Japanese troops to parry, because after the Chinese Air Force successfully eliminated several major military radar stations in the Southeast Islands, the first air raid to come to China The wave of attacks did not come from their visible air force at all, but from dozens of high-yield medium-range ballistic missiles launched from mainland China, Taiwan and the Chinese Navy's attack nuclear submarines.
Almost at the same time, the Japanese army, which had spent huge efforts in the past few years to build important military facilities in the Philippines and Indonesian archipelago, came to a state of paralysis. The first missile attack launched by China made history for the first time with a miraculous performance that stunned the world. stage.
Before the Japanese military's major airports had time to react, Chinese Air Force fighter jets taking off from Taiwan, Hainan and other air force bases, as well as the Navy's first, second, fifth and sixth aircraft carriers had already arrived at the Japanese military base. Various military airports and air defense positions in the Southeast Asian archipelago, as well as a round of surface-to-surface missile strikes launched from the naval aircraft carrier formation, also successfully reached various military points of Japan and the United States.
Starting at 4:30 on February 15th and ending at 6:30pm on February 16th, the Chinese Air Force's bombing of Japanese military airports and important military bases in the Southeast Asian Islands was a great success.
In one night, after continuous strikes throughout the weather, almost all of the Japanese military facilities in the Philippines and Indonesian Islands were almost destroyed.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet Navy and Army landing forces departing from Hawaii suffered almost no losses due to Nimitz's proper handling and timely response. This was because its two Navy aircraft carrier formations withdrew to the high seas in time, and when our reconnaissance aircraft group flew over, they suffered almost no losses. When in the air, use the radio to express your goodwill to our aircraft in a timely manner and make it clear.It expresses the meaning of not interfering with our military's combat objectives.
The tens of thousands of landing troops also kept their distance from the Japanese army in time and evacuated key places of the Japanese army's main military bases and air force airports. Therefore, the bombing of the Philippines caused almost no losses to the US military in Hawaii.
But the Australian military troops who sent troops out of the Indonesian Islands were miserable. Because after receiving the air raid warning from the Chinese Air Force, MacArthur ordered the troops to step up the landing and take over important Japanese facilities. Therefore, when China's first round of missile attacks, the important Japanese bases that had just been stationed were receiving, or had just received and were preparing for defense. A large number of U.S. troops suffered heavy casualties in the air strike.
At the same time, a group of fighter jets from the U.S. Air Force that had just transferred from Australia were attacked by missiles coming from Chinese territory and warships before they had time to take off. They could only lie on the airport with damaged facilities and were almost unable to lift off. Fighting in the air.
A small number of U.S. and Japanese fighter planes that barely took off for combat were depressingly defeated by new air-to-air missiles launched by new aircraft taking off from several aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy without seeing the Chinese Air Force.
This is definitely the first time that the US and Japanese armies have encountered such an asymmetric war. Therefore, the first round of strikes launched by the Chinese army completely defeated the US, Japanese and Indonesian air forces, and China also achieved absolute air supremacy immediately. .
The first round of air strikes by the Air Force's long-range bombers completely destroyed the hastily deployed air defense forces of the U.S. and Japanese troops.
Therefore, in the following air force night raids, Japan's important military facilities and main military bases in Indonesia and the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean will have no choice but to allow the Chinese Air Force to bombard them indiscriminately.
Because the U.S. troops who landed in Indonesia in the early stage were mixed with the Japanese troops, and a large number of U.S. troops had already begun stationed in Japanese military camps and military bases, in this round of air strikes, the first batch of U.S. troops landing in Indonesia suffered extremely heavy losses, and almost There was no room for resistance. The anti-aircraft fire and air power were destroyed almost immediately by the Chinese Air Force and strategic artillery force.
Not only that, because several ports where the US military landed in the Indonesian archipelago were important military bases for the Japanese army, these facilities were also within the ruthless bombing range of the Chinese Air Force.
As a result, the U.S. troops, including many transport ships and some frigates of the U.S. Navy, which were stepping up their landings in the port, suffered heavy losses.
However, the USS Washington aircraft carrier formation that served as an escort for the Australian US military was originally moored outside the port and later saw the menacing Chinese Air Force. Therefore, fleet commander George simply ignored MacArthur's order to launch an attack on the Chinese Air Force if it was attacked by the Chinese army. The order to counterattack immediately ordered the entire fleet to evacuate to the high seas.
At the same time, radio signals were continuously used to send good and harmless signals to the Chinese Air Force reconnaissance aircraft that appeared around the fleet, and fighter jets on the aircraft carrier were prohibited from taking off for combat. In the end, a formation of Chinese fighter jets and bombers passed by the Washington aircraft carrier in the distance. After the formation, the attack on the fleet was abandoned.
In addition, some transport ships of the U.S. Navy also lifted anchors and fled the Japanese port because of their timely response. Therefore, they were not followed and bombed by the Chinese Air Force and escaped.
Despite this, the first batch of U.S. troops to land on the Indonesian Islands suffered extremely heavy losses in the night-and-day air raids by the Chinese Air Force.
In one day, the U.S. military suffered more than 10,000 casualties due to multiple batches of bombings by China. At the same time, the first batch of more than 60 aircraft flew to the Indonesian archipelago in an attempt to take over the defense of the Indonesian archipelago from the Japanese army. All types of U.S. Air Force fighter planes were wiped out.
Marshall was the first to know about the Chinese Air Force¡¯s bombing of Japanese military bases and positions in Southeast Asia.
In fact, Roosevelt, Marshall and others had already foreseen the Chinese Air Force's bombing of Japanese military facilities in Central and South Asia. After all, after the Chinese army began fighting against Japan in the summer of 1942, it stopped carrying out large-scale operations within two months. Large-scale ground operations have turned to bandit suppression and internal construction work in the newly occupied territories. However, the Chinese Air Force has never stopped bombing Japanese troops everywhere and the Japanese mainland.
However, starting from 1943, the scale of bombing became smaller and smaller, and the bombing effect became worse and worse. From 1944, the Chinese Air Force began to focus on bombing, supplemented by bombing, and distributed leaflets.
Therefore, Roosevelt and Marshall could not have imagined that China would launch such a large-scale bombing on the first day when the US military announced that it would take over the Japanese Southeast Asian Islands.
Based on the scale and intensity of China's bombing, as well as the sophistication of the fighter jets dispatched, and the fact that it is still under development in Western countries, the missile can only be launched at a distance of less than 300 kilometers and has extremely poor hit effect. It was widely used in this bombing by the Chinese army, and, from the perspective of?It can be seen from the report that the maximum bombing distance of Chinese missiles should have exceeded 2,000 kilometers. The attack target is extremely accurate and the attack effect is extremely good. And the yield of modern bombs is also very large.
There are also various forms of missiles such as submarine-launched and ship-launched missiles. It is unimaginable that China's military power has suddenly led the world by such a huge advantage. The combat level of the Chinese Air Force's new fighter jets is such that Roosevelt and Marshall couldn't wait to hit the wall.
By this time, both Roosevelt and Marshall had of course fully understood that today¡¯s world has become dominated by the Chinese. If their country insists on becoming an enemy of China, it is no different from self-destruction.
