The fighters equipped by the Chinese naval aviation and carrier-based aircraft forces are all F11b carrier-based ¡®Vulture¡¯ fighter jets, and the bombers are divided into two types, the H9C ¡®Canghu¡¯ dive bomber and the H9D ¡®Seagull¡¯ torpedo attack aircraft!
The h9c ¡®Canghu¡¯ dive bomber is the latest dive bomber equipped by the Chinese Army Aviation, Naval Aviation and Carrier-based Air Forces! The two bombers are almost identical in design, except that the model used by the Navy is stronger and has a strengthened nose landing gear to facilitate landing on an aircraft carrier! The h9c ¡®Canghu¡¯ dive bomber is 11.5 meters long, with a wingspan of 13.5 meters and a height of 3.5 meters. It has a dead weight of 2,700 kg and a maximum take-off weight of 5,000 kg. The maximum flight speed is 400 kilometers per hour, the longest range is 1,000 kilometers, the practical ceiling is 7,000 meters, and the maximum dive angle is 80 degrees. The weapons are two 12.7mm aviation machine guns, which can carry out ground or sea bombing! The maximum bomb load is 1,500 kilograms. It usually carries two 500 kilogram aerial bombs or aerial armor-piercing bombs (used when attacking ships or fortresses). It can also carry a 1,000 kilogram super-heavy aerial bomb!
The h9d ¡®Seagull¡¯ torpedo attack aircraft is 11.3 meters long, with a wingspan of 12.7 meters and a height of 3.3 meters. It has a dead weight of 2,500 kg and a maximum take-off weight of 4,800 kg. The maximum flight speed is 400 kilometers per hour, the longest range is 1,000 kilometers, and the practical ceiling is 700 meters. The weapon is two 12.7mm aviation machine guns. The maximum bomb load is 1200 kg. Can perform ground or sea attacks! When attacking the ground, it carries aerial bombs for horizontal bombing, and when attacking the sea, it carries heavy torpedoes. The heavy torpedo used by the Chinese Navy has a caliber of 550 mm. Weight is 1100kg.
The four aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Third Fleet. It is the first officially commissioned aircraft carrier of the Chinese Navy. Compared with the two subsequent aircraft carriers, it has a smaller displacement and a smaller maximum number of aircraft carriers. The 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carrier can only carry a maximum of 80 combat aircraft, so the carrier-based air wing of each aircraft carrier is slightly smaller than a regular wing. Each group only has two squadrons, a total of 24 fighters!
At 5 a.m. on the morning of January 5, all fighter planes from the four aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy took off. Their targets were four large military airports in southern Italy! The German Air Force used these four airports when they launched a sneak attack on Sicily!
5:20 in the morning. Two squadrons of F11 'Vulture' fighter jets and two squadrons of H10 'Kunpeng' long-range bombers of the Chinese Air Force's 4th Air Force taking off from Corsica completed their formation and began flying towards the target! This formation has a total of 24 fighters and 24 bombers! Their target is a large military airport located east of Florence! It¡¯s only two hundred kilometers from Corsica to Florence. At the cruising speed of the H10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ long-range bomber, it only takes less than an hour!
The h10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ long-range bomber has a maximum bomb load of up to three tons, a cruising speed of 280 kilometers per hour, a maximum flight speed of 380 kilometers per hour, and a maximum ceiling of 9,000 meters. The longest range is 3,200 kilometers and the combat radius is 1,500 kilometers! Reducing the bomb load. The combat radius can be further increased by increasing fuel!
Florence, located two hundred kilometers away from Corsica, is completely within the strike radius of the H10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ bomber! In order to blow up the airport, all the H10 Kunpeng bombers this time carried 100 kilogram bombs. Each H10 Kunpeng bomber carried thirty 100 kilogram aerial bombs! Even the F11 'Vulture' fighter jet responsible for escorting had two 50kg aerial bombs hung under the wings! When intercepted by enemy fighter jets, these fighter jets will give up the fight and attack the enemy fighter jets first, clearing obstacles for the bombers behind!
At 5:50 in the morning, the fleet had flown across the ocean and entered Italian airspace! In order to maintain stealth, the fleet has climbed to an altitude of 7,000 meters. At the same time, a small group of F11 "Vulture" fighter jets went out 30 kilometers away to provide an early warning. Once an enemy fighter is discovered, they will launch an attack in advance!
At this time, at the military airport east of Florence, a group of Hurricane 4 fighter jets of the German Air Force were making preparations for takeoff! There is also a brigade of J1 bombers that have also begun preparations! The previous sneak attack did not completely defeat the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation forces in the Mediterranean. In order to ensure the security of Italy and southern Germany, the German Air Force needs to launch continuous attacks! Fortunately, the German naval aviation has taken over the attack on the island of Ireland and the Channel Islands, allowing the German air force to concentrate on dealing with enemies in the Mediterranean! At this moment, in major airports in Italy, the number of fighter units stationed by the German Air Force has reached 4 wings, and there are also 4 bomber wings! These German Air Force fighters have been competing with the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation for air supremacy in the Mediterranean! However, after the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation defended themselves, the German Air Force had no choice but to?Another sneak attack was successful! In a head-on confrontation, the German Air Force can hardly take any advantage!
At 6 a.m., German Air Force fighter jets began to take off from Florence Airport! The first is a squadron of fighters. They will go to the waters near Corsica to monitor the Chinese Air Force. If there is an opportunity, they will clear the way for the bomber units in the rear and bomb Corsica again!
At 6:04, a team from the 1st Squadron of the 412th Group of the 41st Wing of the Chinese Air Force discovered a German Air Force fighter plane that was climbing! While communicating with the rear through radio, the squad leader ordered the four fighters in the squad to attack! The four fighter planes were divided into two two-plane formations and dived downward from an altitude of 7,000 meters. The German Air Force, which was climbing, did not know that the Chinese Air Force's fighter planes had already arrived above their heads!
"Da da da!" Four F11 'Vultures' of the Chinese Air Force opened fire one after another! Red tracer bullets fired at the climbing Luftwaffe Hurricane 4 fighter! Four Luftwaffe fighters were caught on fire and plummeted to the ground in thick smoke. The other eight fighter jets fled in all directions like frightened birds! The Chinese Air Force fighter jets began to pursue!
The other 20 fighter jets that were escorting the bombers from the rear immediately accelerated after receiving the news! Get ready to take part in the attack on the Luftwaffe! The H10 ¡®Hongyan¡¯ fighter jets of the two squadrons also began to lower their altitude and prepared to start dropping bombs!
The sudden appearance of fighter jets from the Chinese Air Force caused great tension at the airport on the ground! The commander of the German Air Force immediately ordered the remaining German fighter jets to take off urgently. At the same time, the air defense troops also entered the position to prepare to defend against the attack of the Chinese Air Force!
German fighter jets began to enter the runway one after another, preparing to take off! However, at this time, the Chinese Air Force fighter planes had already flown over their heads! A small group of F11 'Vulture' fighter jets flew above the airport runway, first dropped aerial bombs under the wings, and then began to straf the German Air Force fighters that were taking off!
"Ta-ta-ta!" A string of bullets were fired, and two German Air Force Hurricane 4 fighter jets that had just taken off were knocked to the ground.
"Damn it! Take off quickly! Drive away the Chinese fighter jets!" the commander of the German Air Force roared loudly! If a fighter jet cannot take off, it will have no attack power and will only become a target! The commander of the German Air Force believed that not only the fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force were coming, but the bombers were also behind!
Fighters of the Chinese Air Force were engaged in fierce battles with fighter jets of the German Air Force over the airport, and fighter jets were continuously shot down. The two sides have been strangled together, so that the German air defense forces on the ground did not dare to fire easily for fear of accidentally injuring their own people! Luftwaffe fighters on the ground attempted to force takeoff. However, under the blockade of the Chinese Air Force fighter jets, their efforts were in vain. One after another, the Luftwaffe Air Force fighter jets were destroyed during takeoff, but the Luftwaffe pilots did not seem to feel it at all. Fear continues to fly like a moth to a flame!
At 6:15 in the morning, 24 H10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ bombers from two squadrons of the Chinese Air Force flew over the airport! At this time, the Luftwaffe fighter jets could no longer be seen over the airport. Fighters of the Chinese Air Force began to attack the air defense positions around the airport to provide protection for the bombers!
At an altitude of 3 kilometers, the Chinese Air Force¡¯s H10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ fighter jets dropped bombs one after another. Although the altitude is too high and the accuracy is low, at this altitude, the bomber is less likely to be destroyed!
The magazine under the belly of the h10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ bomber opened, and bombs fell from the sky one after another. Soon the airport was shrouded in smoke! Some Luftwaffe fighter planes that had not had time to take off were blown up, and the Luftwaffe pilots and ground crews fled in panic. The runway of the airport was the target of heavy bombing. After several H10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ bombers dropped bombs, the two runways of the airport became pitted!
"Dong, dong, dong!" The German Air Force's anti-aircraft troops fired fiercely at the Chinese fighter planes in the sky. However, they suffered heavy losses under the attack of Chinese Air Force fighter jets!
Soon, the control tower of the airport was blown up, and the ammunition depot, pilot dormitories, canteens, and oil depots next to the airport were all turned into ruins during the bombing!
At 6:30 in the morning, the Chinese Air Force¡¯s bombing ended and began to return! This airport has been basically destroyed. It may take a week or even longer to repair it! In this bombing by the Chinese Air Force, only three F11 'Vulture' fighter jets were shot down and one was damaged! Only one of the F10'Kunpeng' fighter jets was shot down and two were damaged!
