The large-scale bombing plan against European NATO countries is called "Operation Hawksbill". On the one hand, this Operation Hawksbill is indeed a "pre-retaliation operation" in response to the US military's plan to bomb the Chinese mainland. On the other hand, Qi Yiming is concerned about the deepening peace and He is tired of expanding the scale of the war. He hopes that this world war will end as quickly as possible, and to do this, he needs to destroy his opponent's proliferation ability as quickly as possible. The collective of Western European countries has an economy and population comparable to that of the United States. Although it cannot keep up in terms of resources, if it effectively integrates its forces, it can still cause a lot of trouble to China. After all, they are all old capitalist powers. Qi Yiming proposed Operation Hawksbill, whose main purpose was to destroy the economic capabilities of Western European countries, thereby greatly weakening the power of NATO and weakening the United States in terms of military balance. Chen Feng was sent to Europe with the task of attacking several powerful countries in Western Europe, especially those in Western Europe. It was a bombing mission carried out by Germany and France. Although Italy and Spain are strong, they are still worse than Britain, France and Germany, and given that both Italy and Spain have funny records and limited military strength, Qi Yiming's level of concern about them is relatively limited. Britain is separated by the English Channel, and also crosses France and Germany. Before France and Germany are completely defeated, Britain is generally the last target of attack. The Third European Aviation Strike Force commanded by Chen Feng, as its name implies, consists mostly of ground attack aircraft, including an assault division and a tactical bomber division. The main battlefield of the Assault Division is in Czechoslovakia. They will cross Hungary to conduct air attacks on the German-Polish Army in Czechoslovakia. Their main task is to provide close support. The Air Force currently only has one attack aircraft model, the Qiang-7. Now many tasks of close battlefield support have been handed over to drones and even Tengu mechas. Moreover, the Air Force has no new plans to continue developing close support attack aircraft. Another tactical bomber division under Chen Feng is slightly special. This tactical bomber division is not only equipped with backfires from two aviation regiments, but also equipped with two groups of technical verification bombers, model H-10 "Chasing Fire". It is a new stealth tactical bomber. The fire-chasing tactical bomber is actually a new type of long-range tactical bomber pursued by the PLA Air Force after becoming familiar with the Figure 22 Backfire. Although by the standards of many countries, the Backfire is already considered a strategic-level bomber, but for From the positioning of pLAR, a range of less than 1,060 kilometers cannot be counted as the strategic bomber. The Backfire previously replaced the H-6K Ares bomber. Compared with the Ares bomber, the Backfire has supersonic flight speeds, better flight performance, and more The large bomb load and range make it more effective in long-range tactical bombing. What makes the Air Force a little regretful is that the Backfire is a fighter developed in the 1970s. Although it has been improved by Chinese military workers, it is still based on the old foundation and has not improved much, especially in terms of stealth performance. Therefore, since the late 1990s, the Air Force has pinned its hopes on developing an advanced tactical bomber that has functions similar to the Backfire, is not too complex in structure, can be mass-produced in batches, and can penetrate defenses with stealth. After having such demands, AVIC took reference from Backfire and incorporated some new concepts to develop the H-10 fire-chasing tactical bomber. This new bomber is 406 meters long and has a wingspan of 2 meters. It abandons the backfire variable sweep wing and instead tries a large-area diamond wing. The aircraft has an empty weight of 46 tons and a maximum take-off weight of 136 tons. It is designed with two large The magazine is capable of launching multiple types of aerial bombs and cruise missiles. The built-in magazine alone allows this bomber to carry 2 tons of ammunition. The two magazine magazines can be equipped with 6-round cruise missile launchers, which can launch up to 2 Changjian Changjian 2L air-launched cruise missiles with a range of 26 kilometers. . Its appearance is actually similar to an enlarged stealth fighter, and its purpose is to achieve the best flight performance while taking into account stealth. Naturally, the more critical element to achieve this is to have a good engine, and this is obviously not a difficulty for the Chinese. The war accelerated the development of all weapons. After the Air Force passed the combat performance test of the H-10, it requested Qi Yiming to use the production capacity of the Red Alert Base to manufacture a batch of experimental products to test its actual performance on the battlefield. Qi Yiming responded to the request and built 6 H-10 tactical bombers and sent them to Chen Feng to participate in actual combat. Standing in the airport tower, Chen Feng looked at the fighter jets and bombers preparing to take off at the airport. For a moment, he recalled his time as a pilot. He was only in his forties, but he could actually continue to fly, and his aircraft had already become a pilot. Important memorials were sent to the military museum for collection. The fuselage of the B14 Tomcat aircraft has as many as 33 stars engraved on it. In modern air combat, Chen Feng can be regarded as an out-and-out ace. He once shot down Vietnamese, Malaysian and Indonesian fighter planes in the South China Sea, shot down many Taiwanese fighter planes over the Taiwan Straits, shot down Iraqi fighter planes in the Persian Gulf, and shot down Mao Zi's fighter planes in Russia. His career as a pilot can be described as It is extremely brilliant and legendary, and it is also his biggest reliance on growing from an ordinary pilot to a major general in the Air Force. Thinking back to the time when he had planned to quit the army because he was disappointed with the Air Force, and the battles of his father's generation, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel deeply. No one would have thought that today's Republic Air Force could be so fierce. The power of the Third European Air Strike Force in his hands alone is enough to rival all other countries except China and the United States.?The air force of any country. The pLA Air Force has thousands of fighter jets, and I'm afraid this number will exceed 10,000 before long. Think about it, the planes that flew over the Tiananmen Gate during the founding ceremony were all captured from KNT. After the chaotic period, when we watch other countries replacing fourth-generation fighters on a large scale, our country has not even built third-generation fighters. Radars and missiles need to be imported. Now that the fighter jets produced in China are sold around the world, the equipment level of the fighter jets The world's leading. Chen Feng was glad more than once that he was born in this era, and more than once he was glad that he did not retire from the army and change careers, but continued to stay in the Air Force. "The 2nd Bomb Aviation Regiment is requesting to take off." "Requesting permission to take off." Chen Feng said solemnly. Although he was no longer on the fighter plane, he still felt that he was a warrior in the air, but at this time he was flying more fighter planes, and His strength is also more majestic. The target of the Third Aviation Strike Force is Germany. They will fly directly over Austrian airspace and bomb the industrial area centered on Munich in southern Germany, as well as some surrounding military facilities. In this bombing operation, German military facilities were not as important as the bombing of German factories and infrastructure, because the purpose of the bombing was not to attack Germany's military power, but to attack Germany's military potential. Under the escort of a group of J-LL Black Hawk fighters, six fire-chasing bombers carried out the first wave of strike missions. Because these fighters were all stealth fighters, they had an advantage in the surprise attack. In fact, this is indeed the case. Austria has never clearly grasped the whereabouts of the Chinese Air Force, nor has it sent fighter planes to intercept fighters and bombers that crossed its airspace. Until the fire-chasing bomber launched the first Long Sword 2L stealth modified cruise missile, neither the German army nor the Austrian army made any timely response. The target of the cruise missile was a German military facility located east of Munich. The sudden bombing of multiple cruise missiles caused considerable losses to the German army. Training of new recruits was ongoing there. The Iron Cross Army was expanding, but unexpectedly it was destroyed by World War II. At that time, it was still a country that allowed itself to be bullied. This German recruit training camp suffered serious losses, with more than a thousand casualties in the air strike, and this was not just the only target of cruise missiles. A German munitions warehouse, several airports and other military facilities were all attacked by cruise missiles. The German army immediately took action to protect other military facilities that were not attacked. However, what really caused the Germans to feel pain in their bones. It's the blow from behind. Fire-chasing bombers carrying guided bombs instead of cruise missiles flew into Germany, and a large number of bombs were dropped, because the previous round of cruise missile bombing caused the German army to focus entirely on military facilities, and completely The protection of civilian facilities was ignored, making fire-chasing bombing extremely easy. A large number of factory buildings in the industrial area were ignited by incendiary bombs dropped by the chasing fire. The fire became bigger and bigger, and eventually spread to the entire industrial area. Many German workers who had no time to escape were directly burned to death in the fire, and a large number of manufactured products and machines were also burned. Destroyed in the attack. Not only that, several natural gas power plants in Munich were also bombed. The bombs directly turned the power plants into large bombs. Not only was the power supply in the city cut off, but the collateral casualties caused by the explosion were frightening. It was not until the end of the bombing that the fighters sent by the Luftwaffe arrived, and these IDB-type Tornado fighters were obviously no match for the escorting Black Hawk fighters. The Black Hawks calmly covered the retreat of the pursuers, and there was still time to kill these After shooting down many German fighter planes, they arrogantly returned to the Chinese Air Force Base in Zagreb under Chen Feng's order. The bombing destroyed about a quarter of the industrial capacity of Munich's industrial zone, and what was even more terrifying was that it caused nearly 10,000 civilian casualties. This was related to China's use of cluster bombs and incendiary bombs. Although the bombing effect was very good, it also completely aroused the anger of the originally moderate Germans. Germany claimed to take revenge, but before the Iron Cross Legion's revenge could begin, China punched them again.
