    Generally speaking, the size and strength of the US military expeditionary fleet are slightly stronger than that of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet.  Not only is the average tonnage of the three Nimitz-class ships greater than the tonnage of the Chinese Navy's 6I626-three aircraft carriers, but also the U.S. military's NATO allies have contributed a lot to this expedition, including Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy.  Other countries have sent fleets of a certain size to participate in the expedition. The navies of these countries all have certain ocean-going combat capabilities and are accustomed to being commanded by the United States. However, except for Nanyang, China's SCO allies are basically land-based countries and lack  Naval power.  In the Indian Ocean theater, Nanyang cannot immediately dispatch a fleet. After all, its main defensive direction is in the South China Sea. Although Pakistan also has a certain navy, it is already difficult to carry out offshore defense operations, let alone fight in blue water with China.

    Therefore, the only one the SCO has to fight against the NATO military alliance is the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy.  After the submarine battle came to an end, Zhang Juzuo ordered the aircraft carrier battle groups of the Indian Ocean Fleet to begin to rendezvous. Except for the Sichuan aircraft carrier battle group, which was still on guard near the Strait of Hormuz, the USS John Sternis aircraft carrier battle group of the US Fifth Fleet  , the remaining three aircraft carrier battle groups have completed their rendezvous and coordinated operations.

    Just looking at the level of the aircraft carrier, it is obvious that the Type 6L Anhui is slightly weaker in combat capability. Although it is operating at full capacity under war conditions, the number of aircraft used for combat is basically only about 3, which is the Nimitz class.  Half, and because this type of aircraft carrier is still a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, the demand for supply ships and base supplies is greater.  Another aircraft carrier, the Type 62 Hubei, is used for a decisive battle with the US military. Although its tonnage is slightly smaller than the Nimitz class, its combat effectiveness is not much worse. Considering that the level of the Chinese escort fleet is higher, the difference between the two sides is similar.  The Type 6 Jiangsu aircraft carrier with more than 110,000 tons is enough to completely destroy the US aircraft carrier fleet.

    Electromagnetic ejection enhances the efficiency of aircraft takeoff and landing, and all-electric propulsion gives it quieter and more efficient navigation. More importantly, the iron curtain system equipped on the ship can make the Type 6 an invulnerable monster at critical moments. Although time  It was only a few minutes, but just a few minutes was enough to turn the tide of the battle.

    The Iron Curtain system is the top secret in the PLA military. Even the naval officers and soldiers serving on the Type 6 aircraft carrier are not all aware of it. Only the ship's commanders and the soldiers who specialize in maintaining the Iron Curtain are aware of the existence of the Iron Curtain. Other sailors are not aware of the existence of the Iron Curtain.  I don't know that my ship has been upgraded to a level of invincibility.

    According to Zhang Juzuo, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, the Iron Curtain is actually of little use. If it really reaches the stage of using the Iron Curtain, the fleet will be at the end of its rope. Unless the enemy also suffers heavy losses, as long as the Iron Curtain is used,  Once it is exhausted, when the enemy attacks again, the aircraft carrier will also be sunk.

    And as an ideal and brave fleet commander, Zhang Juzuo believed that using the Iron Curtain was a sign of cowardice and incompetence. Even if this device existed, Zhang Juzuo would not count on it, but would do everything possible to  Methods use the force of the fleet to bring the enemy into submission.

    However, before the real fleet battle, pLAl continued to use other means to weaken the enemy's strength. The submarine war could not be said to be a failure or a success. After all, it also hit the US military and made its activities in the Indian Ocean more cautious.  .  After the Indian Ocean Fleet assembled, the PLA Air Force also joined the attack on the NATO expeditionary fleet.

    The focus of the air force's strikes is on several important ports and airports in South Africa, as well as some military warehouses that supply the US fleet.  Destroying these facilities will slow down the advance of the US military, thereby giving the Chinese military more time to push the war situation in the Indian Ocean theater in a direction more favorable to itself.

    Although Diego Garcia is occupied, this small island is too small to support the Air Force's ambitious air raid plan. After deploying a regiment of Fury and a regiment of Shadow Leopards here, it is basically full, and it is difficult to have more  What kind of military planes are stationed?

    Because South Africa is too far away, the Air Force launched its own strategic bombing plan.  There are two types of aircraft that are nominally responsible for the strategic bombing mission of the Air Force, the H-Thor and the H-Century bomber. However, in fact, the main role of the Thor bomber is to serve as a deterrent and to serve as a bomb truck after seizing air supremacy, and can truly penetrate into the enemy's hinterland alone.  The only bombers left are stealth bombers.

    When the Red Alert Base was at Level 2, the Air Force only had 18 H-9s, which were only used during the Russia-related war. After Qi Yiming's Red Alert Base was upgraded to Level-, the upper limit on the number of century bombers was cancelled, and complete manufacturing technology  All were unlocked, and the Air Force immediately began purchasing large quantities of this stealth bomber.  Before the outbreak of the war, the Air Force had acquired a total of more than forty Century bombers and established a quite powerful stealth strategic bomber fleet.

    Unlike other countries that generally have deep-rooted military disputes, China's PLA is a revolutionary army that obeys the leadership of the party. Except for possible riots during the annual budget division, it is basically relatively harmonious at other times.  In order to assist the Navy in completing this unprecedented naval decisive battle, the Air Force dispatched 6 Century bombers to bomb US military facilities in South Africa.

      In this bombing, the Chinese Air Force's stealth bombers mainly carried a large number of guided bombs, submunitions, cluster bombs and other weapons. Some bombers even carried air-dropped mines for dropping in the waters near the port area, targeting U.S. Navy ships.  Action creates trouble.

    At the beginning of the air strike, the US military and South Africa did not notice the approach of the Chinese Air Force at all.  The Century Bomber is huge and has the largest bomb load in the world. Even if it is more streamlined in appearance, it will have a relatively large radar reflection cross-section, so the Century Bomber has an active stealth method to achieve stealth.

    This active stealth technology is also called plasma stealth. The surface of the aircraft absorbs and refracts radar electromagnetic waves by stimulating a layer of plasma.  This active stealth technology is more efficient than traditional stealth technology, and naturally has more technical requirements.

    Under the protection of mature stealth technology, and with the assistance of visual stealth technology absorbed from Phantom tanks, when the Century bombers began to launch attacks, the Americans and South Africans realized that a disaster was coming.  Tons of bombs were dropped from the air. Only when the bomb bay was opened could people get a glimpse of the Century bomber. However, when the US anti-aircraft missiles tried to counterattack, their radars were completely unable to catch the Chinese bombers.  There is such a thing as anti-aircraft artillery, but because the bombers become phantoms, it is even more difficult for anti-aircraft artillery to detect targets visually.

    In particular, the Century bombers carried out concentrated bombing on several military ports in South Africa. The lifting facilities and oil depots in the port area were completely destroyed by bombs falling from the sky.  Even several warships parked in the port area were violently attacked by bombs. Although not all warships were sunk, some basic ones were also seriously injured.  Fortunately for the US military, fleet commander Cornell led the main force of the fleet to cruise out of the port and was not in the port area. Otherwise, I am afraid that several US aircraft carriers would have suffered heavy losses.

    The U.S. military also used emergency takeoff and landing fighter jets to intercept China's super air strike weapon. However, the U.S. military fighter jets were blinded by the Century bomber because they basically could not detect the presence of the Century bomber on radar, and the Century bomber was optically stealthy.  , it is impossible to locate it with the naked eye.  It can only reveal its appearance for a moment when it drops bombs, and it is difficult for U.S. fighter jets to grasp this moment. Moreover, when the Century bomber sees an enemy situation, it would rather not bomb than remove its phantom camouflage, making the U.S. fighter jet even more useless.  There's a solution.

    The emergence of Chinese stealth bombers and their brutal attacks on the US military and South African military facilities still shocked the world.  Not only did the sixteen Century bombers achieve impressive results, they left three important military ports in South Africa in a semi-paralyzed state and severely damaged many NATO ships.  What's even more powerful is the effect on people's hearts, especially according to the accounts of the parties involved. Not only did China's "new generation bombers" not show up on radar from beginning to end, but they were not even visually visible except when they launched an attack and dropped bombs.  No trace of it can be caught.  The US military only took a small number of photos of Century bombers dropping bombs, confirming the existence of this terrifying bomber.

    "Compared to our B2, the unknown Chinese bomber is obviously more suitable to be called a ghost. It comes and goes without a trace. It is as hard to catch as a ghost and scary." A former US military general said this  Attack lamented in an interview with American media.

    This wonderful and powerful stealth raid was subsequently reported extensively in the Chinese media, and the true model of this bomber was disclosed by Chinese official media for the first time.  Only then did people learn that this type of bomber had been in service with the Chinese Air Force for a long time and was kept under the highest confidentiality. It was not fully disclosed until this war.  However, even if people see the real body of the Century Bomber and know its name, they still know nothing about the specific performance parameters.  Of course, the main concern of not disclosing performance is to prevent Americans from learning about China¡¯s secret weapon.

    Especially military fans, while feeling the thrill of the war, they also witnessed the unparalleled aspect of Chinese weapons. The Century Bomber became the iconic Chinese weapon in the early days of the war because of its difficult-to-exploit stealth capabilities and elusive characteristics.  The US military had nothing to do with this Chinese weapon, which became an invincible weapon in the early stages of the war.

    As for the PLA itself, the success of the Century Bomber in its first battle against the US military inspired the Air Force to use this super bomber on a larger scale and on more battlefields, while US and NATO soldiers began to live a life hidden in the blue sky and night.  In the shadow of an elusive monster.
