Death Technique and Tactical Impact. The 6th Army and Navy are doing no better. Also five methods in the Maochuan "hit on the alternative air force.

There is nothing to show off about the main strike of the Air Force. After full control of air supremacy. Various types of combat aircraft of the Air Force were transferred to strike operations. Bombers undertake large-scale strategic bombing missions, and fighter planes are responsible for small-scale bombing operations and targeted killings, and the Air Force's several "special bombing operations" and "special operations" between February and March 3 are all the more worthy of attention.

On the 8th, the day when the artillery of the 6th Army entered the battle, the Air Force was codenamed "Enhanced Combat Strength to Support Strike Operations".

As can be seen from this codename, the Air Force involved support aviation in strike operations. Of course. Poison aviation never left the battlefield. The role of the wave is also replaced by other combat forces. What is being said here is the mobilization of transport aircraft units subordinate to the support aviation to carry out bombing missions!

Bombing missions with transport aircraft is nothing new.

After the United States developed the Ngai class ground-penetrating bomb, because the mass of the bomb was close to the old ton. None of the fighters and bombers could carry it, so it could only be carried by the Fighter Blade transport aircraft on bombing missions. The US military has long proven it on the battlefield. As long as absolute air supremacy is obtained, there is no technical difficulty in dropping bombs on transport aircraft.

At this time, the Air Force was in a hurry to mobilize transport planes, making it clear that it did not want the 6th Army and the Navy to be in the limelight.

The biggest problem with using transport planes to carry out bombing missions is not the carrying capacity of transport planes; even if a dozen tactical transport planes are used, their carrying capacity will exceed the "strategic bombing authority, and the problem of being able to carry multiple tons of bombs to strike at the ground within a kilometer of the mouth is still technology; transport planes are not "combat planes." Although they have a powerful carrying capacity, they do not possess the most basic ammunition throwing capability, let alone the ability to aim and guide.

After looking at the solution, special incendiary bombs are unguided bombs and do not need to bow and shrug. If you appropriately reduce the flight altitude of the transport aircraft, or bomb a large area of targets in the city, you don't have to worry about aiming. Modern navigation technology with an accuracy of meters, as well as advanced wind direction detectors, are enough to allow transport aircraft to drop bombs in accurate locations.

How to drop the bomb is the real problem.

Unlike the Bhutanese bombers, the transport aircraft did not have bomb bays that opened downwards and could only drop bombs through the hatches on the sides of the fuselage, as well as through the hatches at the rear of the fuselage. Relatively. Because the mass of the special incendiary bomb was too large to be carried by manpower, it could only be thrown through the clamshell hatch at the rear of the fuselage.

Forced by the situation, the Air Force found the most ideal solution.

All transport aircraft have the ability to airdrop airborne combat vehicles and cargo pallets of supplies, as long as the bomb is loaded on the cargo pallet and dropped out of the cabin like an airborne combat vehicle, the bombing mission can be completed. Unlike bombers, there is no supporting bomb delivery equipment, so the flight attendant on the transport plane can only manually release the bomb insurance before dropping the bomb.

After the old multiple actual combat bomb tests were carried out on Miyako Island in the southern part of the Ryukyu Islands. The transport plane officially set foot on the battlefield.

On the 8th of the winter month, four dozen Zhao-type strategic bombers were launched.

The bombing capabilities of the transport aircraft were confirmed by actual combat, and large-scale bombing officially began.

Xiao Zhao participated in the bombing operations and dropped nearly 10,000 tons of special incendiary bombs on dozens of cities on the Japanese mainland at an average of two sorties a day, accounting for the total number of bombs dropped by the air force during the same period, and became a veritable main striking force.

On the same day, the transport plane appeared again.

In the intermittent day, it was not that the bombs were gone, but that the special ammunition pallets used to carry the bombs were improved from the old tonnage standard airdrop pallets and used up, and the Air Force had to increase the purchase of special ammunition pallets.

The prerequisite for the large-scale participation of transport aircraft in bombing operations is that not much airlift is needed on other battlefields.

Previously, there were concerns about how the republic would use the millions of tons of ammunition it produced every month.

As many Leopard transport planes continue to participate in bombing operations, it is time to worry about whether the production of special incendiary bombs in Gonghe County can keep up with the war attrition, and whether it is necessary to restrict the combat operations of transport aircraft.

Of course, in terms of cost, transport aircraft are more "cheap" than strategic bombers and tactical fighters for the same reason, whether it is a thug tax or a pregnant occupation, it is an all-electric aircraft, does not need to use expensive aviation fuel, and the cost of performing a bombing mission is less than one-thousandth of that of a strategic bomber. Only one percent of tactical fighters. Although the price of special ammunition pallets is not low, it can effectively reduce the number of Xu Ge after mass production, and it is much cheaper than the special ammunition pylons on bombers and fighter jets.

In general, as long as there is absolute air supremacy. Transport aircraft can be regarded as an ideal large-scale strike force.

The fact that transport aircraft make a big show on the battlefield can only be regarded as a rational use of existing equipment. Comparatively speaking, the performance of the other participating forces of the Air Force is even more impressive.

On March 3, the Air Force's "Aerospace Expeditionary Group" took part in actual combat

Because the General Staff has already canceled the "test troops." "The work of testing new weapons and equipment has been entrusted to all branches of the armed forces and independent arms. Therefore, the Air Force did not set up a "test unit" in general, but set up a special test unit in accordance with the tactical characteristics of each new type of equipment.

"The Aerospace Expeditionary Brigade is the first air and space combat unit of the Republic!

Strictly speaking, the air-space combat units should be subordinate to the heavenly forces and should not be under the establishment of the air force. When this unit was formed, the Air Force used the "Expeditionary Brigade" to mainly fight in the atmosphere, so the Air Force had to participate. Because the Heavenly Soldiers have just been formed. The joint force is relatively weak, and it has no ability to compete with the air force for the right to speak, so it can only acquiesce to the "hegemonic" behavior of the air force, and let the air force independently form an "aviation expeditionary group". Of course, the Heavenly Soldiers were not willing to be lonely, and after receiving the authorization of the General Staff Headquarters and the research funds of the Special Dan, they set up a similar "air-space integrated combat test unit." ”

"Aerospace combat forces" is definitely a "new concept".

It was not the Republic that first put forward the theory of "air and space operations," but the United States. Like the Air Force's tactical system, air-space operations are mainly divided into two directions, one is to seize "space supremacy." "The second is to strike at ground and sea targets. The former is the most difficult to achieve, and it can be applied to confront the enemy's air and space combat units, and the air and space forces really have actual combat capabilities. And comprehensively promote the theoretical exploration and research stage before the middle school. The latter is the main tactical topic of the Niutian combat force, and it is also the key direction of the Republic and the US Aerospace Force.

Compared with other combat forces, the greatest advantage of air and space combat units is their altitude and degree.

Under normal circumstances, only an aerospace vehicle that flies at an altitude of more than a kilometer can be regarded as an aerospace vehicle. In order to reach this height. The minimum flight is Mach 8. And so it goes. All conventional aeropower, including the ramjet motive, is powerless. Initially, almost all countries put their hopes on the "rocket stamping integrated engine" and invested a lot of money to break through key technologies. With the gradual maturity of the "theory of ionization electromagnetic propulsion by inhalation", both the Republic and the United States have shifted their focus to new fields and spent huge sums of money to promote the practical application of new technologies. Regardless of the propulsion technology, the technical difficulties are difficult to solve in the short term. In order to obtain air-space combat forces as soon as possible. The Republic and the United States are strengthening the development of the stamping motive and trying to improve the performance of the stamping motive.

The "Aerospace Expeditionary Brigade" that participated in the war was equipped with small aerospace fighters with stamping motive as the main power.

Strictly speaking, Ten is not capable of flying in outer space. The maximum flight altitude is still in the atmosphere, so it is not an air and space fighter in the true sense of the word, but an upgraded fighter. Even so, the multiple performances of the underfighter are still enough to stand out from the crowd. The maximum altitude limit of the kilometer and the flight degree of the fastest Mach can make all the fighters in service helpless, and can also make all air defense systems become ornaments. However, the unit price of 100 million yuan is enough to make any air force feel shy.

Compared with the Type 1 fighter of the strategic interception force, the Gongdou type pays more attention to the degree and ceiling.

What's more, the lamp miniature is still a "sample." "In the soil test stage, there is no actual combat

Force.

The Air Force hastily let the small air-space fighters participate in the war with only one purpose: to prove the strong ground strike capability of the air-space fighters and to win more exhibitions for the "Aerospace Expeditionary Group."

Fee.

It is not a strange thing to allow new equipment that has not been equipped with troops and has not fully formed combat effectiveness to participate in actual combat.

As early as the beginning of the second century, the US military experimented with a variety of new equipment on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. For example, the first stealth unmanned fighter of the US military. Only through actual combat can we prove the combat effectiveness of new equipment. Only then can we prove whether the new equipment can play its due role in future wars. As long as there is an opportunity, whether it is the Republic or the United States, they will try their best to let the new equipment go on the battlefield.

"What kind of small actual combat capability is, the Air Force has never announced to the public.

After the war, the Air Force expanded the scale of the "Aerospace Expeditionary Group" and invested more research funds in the field of basic technology.

Like the birth of airplanes to their participation in wars, air-space fighters still have a long way to go before they can become the main force in warfare.

The two "special operations" gave the Air Force enough face, and even the Fourth and Pentagon paid close attention to the combat operations of the Republic Air Force on the Japanese battlefield.

Air Force Commander Zhang Zhongxian's thinking is more conservative, and he has not done anything shocking, but he has steadily and effectively fulfilled the mission entrusted by the state.

By the time the first stage of the full-scale strategic strike ended. There is no longer any suspense about the final outcome of the war.
