    The German Air Force, Naval Aviation and Army Aviation dispatched two wings of fighter jets, two wings of dive bombers and two wings of torpedo attack aircraft, a total of 720 aircraft to attack the 31st Task Force of the Chinese Navy.  The fleet and the 32nd Task Force finally only severely damaged the Chinese Navy's "Emeishan" aircraft carrier and "Putuoshan" aircraft carrier, but their own losses were very heavy.  Most of the more than 700 aircraft dispatched were shot down.  Only a hundred or so planes managed to escape back to Germany.  Some of the downed aircraft were shot down by Chinese Navy fighter jets, while others were shot down by the anti-aircraft firepower of the Chinese Navy's two fleets.

    The Chinese Navy¡¯s strengthening of the anti-aircraft firepower of warships was affirmed in this battle!  Officially, it is because the anti-aircraft firepower of the 'Qin-class' large air defense cruisers and other warships has been greatly strengthened that the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier battle group can withstand the German attack.  Otherwise, not only two of the four aircraft carriers would be severely damaged, but all four would be sunk!

    This time the actions of the German army, navy and air force were more costly than gains.  More than 600 aircraft were lost, only two aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy were severely damaged, and these two aircraft carriers were able to return to combat after one or two months of repairs.  With Germany's current air strength, the loss of so many aircraft is enough to put them at a complete disadvantage in air combat.  If the loss of the aircraft can be replenished by the overtime production of the aircraft manufacturer, it is even more difficult to replenish the loss of the pilot!  Germany started later than China in its air force, and the number of pilots cannot be compared with China.  This time the pilot was lost.  Most of them are experienced pilots.  This will further weaken the strength of the German Air Force, Naval Aviation and Army Aviation!

    Kaiser Wilhelm II was very dissatisfied with this action. He dispatched more than 700 aircraft and lost more than 600, only to severely damage two aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy, not even one of which was sunk!  If this continues, the gap between Germany and China will further widen, and Germany wants to defeat China.  It will be even more difficult!

    The commander of the German Air Force, Admiral Schulz, and the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Tirpitz, were reprimanded by Wilhelm II for this, and neither of them could argue with this.  After all, they were leading the action this time.  If the operation fails, they should be held responsible!

    German Navy Minister Marshal Tirpitz saw something different from this battle.  The air defense capabilities of the Chinese naval fleet far exceeded his imagination.  Each aircraft carrier battle group was attacked by dozens of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft, but the anti-aircraft warships shot down most of the fighters, and only a handful of fighters were able to break through their air defense net.  Otherwise, Germany's operation this time may suffer heavy losses.  But it won¡¯t be like what it is now, where not even a single aircraft carrier has been sunk.  Especially those pilots who had the chance to escape back to Germany reported.  Among the Chinese fleet, there is a warship with extremely abnormal anti-aircraft firepower. It is equipped with hundreds of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, which caused great damage to German aircraft.  Marshal Tirpitz realized that the German Navy seemed to be building the same type of warships to enhance the fleet's air defense capabilities!  This is also the later German version of the anti-aircraft cruiser!

    The Chinese side is quite satisfied with this battle!  Although the two aircraft carriers were severely damaged, they were able to return to combat order after one or two months of repairs!  The losses in fighter planes were also very small. Only more than 40 planes were shot down during the battle. After the pilots parachuted, they were basically rescued by Navy warships.  Compared with Germany, the losses of the Chinese Navy have been very slight.  However, after the two aircraft carriers were severely damaged, the support for the army will be weakened.  Fortunately, the airport near Yaste can be put into use. The Chinese Army Aviation Corps dispatched a wing of fighter jets and some bombers to ensure air support for the frontline army!

    Since the war broke out, the Chinese Air Force has been preparing for a counterattack.  The German Air Force's sneak attack when the war broke out caused heavy losses to the Chinese Air Force.  Although in the subsequent battles, the Chinese Air Force has completely regained its disadvantage.  But the revenge of this arrow was not avenged, which made the Chinese Air Force always grudge about this.  As more and more fighters and bombers are dispatched to the Mediterranean, the Chinese Air Force's counterattack preparations are finally completed!

    On January 17, China¡¯s Minister of Space, Air Force Marshal Long Feiyu issued an order for strategic bombing of Germany!  At this time, the Chinese Air Force has deployed 4 wings of F10 "Lightning" heavy fighter jets and 4 wings of H10 "Kunpeng" long-range bombers in the Mediterranean.  Lieutenant General Jiang Shaozhong, commander of the 4th Air Force of the Air Force, is fully responsible for this combat plan.  The fighters and bombers of these eight wings were also temporarily integrated into the 4th Air Force, making the 4th Air Force the largest among the air forces under the Air Force.Army!

    The target of this bombing was the recapture of Munich, the Kingdom of Bavaria in southern Germany.  Although a little princess of the Kingdom of Bavaria is a concubine of the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze, this war is related to the fate of the country, and no personal relationships will be involved in the war.  Munich is an important industrial base in southern Germany. Destroying it will help weaken Germany's war potential!  Therefore, when the Air Force Ministry reported the plan to the Emperor Wang Yuze, he agreed to the Air Force Ministry's plan without hesitation!

    At 5 a.m. on January 18, four H10 'Kunpeng' long-range bombers of the Chinese Air Force took off from airports in Corsica and Sardinia. A total of 480 long-range bombers formed in the Mediterranean Sea and began to fly north.  .

    Half an hour later, the F10 "Lightning" heavy fighter jets escorting the bombers also took off. This time, a total of two wings of F10 "Lightning" heavy fighter jets will participate in the operation.  Fighters are faster than bombers, so after the bombers take off, the fighter jets start to take off. Then all you have to do is catch up!

    The huge fleet will fly over the Alps from northeastern Italy, then enter from the southeast of the Kingdom of Bavaria, heading straight to Munich.  This flight route was determined after detailed demonstrations.  The airflow above the Alps is turbulent. Even if the H10'Kunpeng' long-range bomber has a ceiling of nine thousand meters, it will still be greatly affected at such a high altitude.  Therefore, flying over the Alps from northeastern Italy is relatively safe.  Although this will increase the range by a hundred kilometers, it is not a problem for the H10 'Kunpeng' long-range bomber with a combat radius of up to 1,500 kilometers.  Even the F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter jets escorting it can fly back and forth easily!

    The aircraft fleet has been flying at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters. The maximum ceiling of the Hurricane 4 fighter jets equipped by the German Air Force is only 7,800 meters. Even if the German side discovered the Chinese aircraft fleet, it could not stop it, and even the anti-aircraft guns could not reach it.  Of course, when performing bombing missions, the fleet will lower its altitude to ensure bombing accuracy.  If bombs are dropped at an altitude of eight thousand meters, the dropped bombs will definitely be scattered very widely, which is not conducive to accurately destroying the target!

    At 7:50 in the morning, the fleet has flown to a place less than 50 kilometers away from Munich!  Lieutenant General Jiang Shaozhong, who personally directed this operation, ordered the bombers to start descending and prepare to drop bombs at an altitude of two thousand meters.  The fighter wing is taking cover and is ready to deal with any German Air Force fighters that may appear at any time!

    Bavaria in southern Germany has been one of the key defense areas of the German Air Force since the beginning of the war.  Previously, the Chinese Air Force's aircraft fleet was flying at high altitudes and was not discovered by the German Air Force.  However, when the fleet began to descend, a large number of planes filled the sky so densely that it was difficult not to notice them!

    A wing of Hurricane 4 fighter jets deployed in Munich scrambled to take off and flew towards the Chinese Air Force fleet, preparing to intercept these bombers.  However, before they could fly in front of the fleet, the F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter jet swooped down from a high altitude, like an eagle hunting for prey.  Although the F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter is not very exciting, its firepower is very powerful. A 20mm aviation cannon on the nose and 12.7mm aviation machine guns on the wings are enough to easily tear any enemy aircraft into pieces.  .

    "Dong dong dong! Ta da da!" During a dive attack by the Chinese Air Force's heavy fighter jets, at least twenty Luftwaffe fighter jets were killed, and the remaining Luftwaffe fighter jets immediately dispersed.  Some of them are preparing to entangle the Chinese Air Force fighter jets, while the other part is rushing towards the Chinese Air Force bombers, hoping to destroy these bombers!

    However, the H10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ bombers are not without the ability to fight back. Each bomber is equipped with 6 12.7mm aviation machine guns for self-defense, and its firepower is very powerful.  Value has rough skin and thick flesh, so as long as he is not hit in a critical area, he will be fine.  Fighters of the German Air Force were shot down constantly, but very few aircraft of the Chinese Air Force were shot down!

    At 8:06 in the morning, the Chinese bomber force descended to an altitude of 2,200 meters and dropped a bomb on Munich.  Each H10 'Kunpeng' long-range bomber can carry three tons of bombs. This time it is bombing an industrial area in Germany, so it carries 100 kilograms of aerial bombs.  More than 400 planes dropped a total of more than 1,400 tons of bombs. In an instant, Munich's industrial area was reduced to a sea of ??flames!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
