At 1:35 a.m. on December 18, the Korean War broke out.

The first bomb landed on the Gimsyusan Assembly Hall in Pyongyang, which is the North Korean President's Palace. Within the next five minutes, dozens of manors and villas of Kim Chol-nam and the "Kim family" were successively bombed by "joint direct attack munitions".

It was the B-2 stealth bomber of the US Aerospace Expeditionary Force that carried out the bombing mission.

Although there is no evidence that Kim was killed in the first round of bombing, the "large-scale" decapitation operation by the US military has had a very good effect.

It was about three minutes after the bombing of the presidential palace that air raid sirens sounded in Pyongyang.

At 1 o'clock, two bombs hit the North Korean state radio and television station, completely destroying this landmark building in Pyongyang.

By 1 o'clock, Pyongyang's air defense forces fired at least 200 anti-aircraft missiles, using up hundreds of thousands of anti-aircraft shells.

It is a pity that the air defense forces of the DPRK were not able to shoot down 1 enemy aircraft.

U.S. warplanes did not enter the skies over Pyongyang, or even approached Pyongyang. Bomber B, which was on attack mission, dropped "stand-off long-range attack munitions" with rocket-boosting devices over Ganghwa Bay, about 1 meter from Pyongyang. In order to avoid interference, the US military did not use GPS-guided bombs, but relatively traditional laser-guided bombs. Guidance was carried out by UAVs that took off from South Korean air bases, and manned combat aircraft did not enter dangerous airspace.

It can be seen from this that the US military has fully absorbed the lessons of the Iranian war.

Face an enemy with sufficient air defense. Any combat aircraft will be threatened. The best way to avoid human losses is to allow manned combat aircraft to operate outside the enemy's ground defense zone. Leave dangerous work to unmanned aircraft. In addition to being responsible for seizing air supremacy. Manned combat aircraft have become platforms for carrying weapons and ammunition.

Of course. It's just a tactic against a weak enemy.

The US Ground-Air-Space Expeditionary Force has undertaken the most dangerous and important strike mission. Relatively easy strike missions were given to the South Korean Air Force.

The ROK Air Force first bombed the DPRK military's ground long-range air defense warning radar positions and theater command system.

Before 1:50. The South Korean army's ground bombing campaign met little resistance. Only 12 F-35K and 12F-15K were sorted. 24 GBU-311 bombs with 24 AGM-88D anti-radiation missiles were used. The ROK Air Force blew up the 3 ~ long-range air defense warning radar positions set up in Fadong, Suian, and Tokucheon.

3~ South Korean fighters entered North Korean airspace in an ultra-low-altitude penetration. A surprise attack followed.

In the next battle, the South Korean Air Force was not so lucky.

During the bombing of the Korean Theater of Command, the ROK Air Force dispatched 24 F-35K, 24 F-115K, and 32F-16C/DD aircraft to repeatedly bomb eight major targets. Although the ROK Air Force did not admit that any combat aircraft were shot down during bombing missions, at least one F-35K, 2F-15K and 5F-16C/D were shot down by North Korean air defense forces, and at least one F-15K was hit by North Korean small-caliber anti-aircraft guns during ultra-low-altitude penetration, and was killed along with the pilot.

Where there is war, there are losses.

Compared to the Dokdo War 3 years ago, the ROK Air Force performed very well.

Back in the 20th century, the DPRK claimed to have the densest air defense system in the world. According to the investigation reports released by the US government over the years, before the outbreak of war, the DPRK had at least 7,500 anti-aircraft missiles and 22,000 antiaircraft guns, and they were concentrated in the northern part of the ceasefire line and Pyongyang, Kaesong, Wonsan, Hamhung and other places. The biggest threat to U.S. and South Korean warplanes is the 22 long-range air defense systems and 36 medium- and short-range air defense systems sold by the Republic to North Korea after 2022.

In the face of dense ground air defense systems, the South Korean Air Force is able to choose very limited tactics.

The risk of high-altitude penetration is very large, not to mention the F-35K, which is not very stealthy, and the F-15K and F-16C/DD without stealth capability, even the B of the US military does not dare to easily enter the interception range of the North Korean air defense system.

Ultra-low-altitude penetration became the only option for the South Korean Air Force.

If the opponent is a "vast and sparsely populated" country such as Iraq and Iran, the danger of ultra-low-altitude penetration is not great. The problem is that the air defense of the DPRK is deployed too intensively. The F-15K was on its way to bomb the Gimcheon communications transit center when it was hit by anti-aircraft guns about a meter north of Kaesong.

For fighters carrying several tons of ground-attack ammunition and flying rapidly at ultra-low altitudes, if they enter the ground strike range of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, they will not even have a chance to react, otherwise the ground pilots of the ROK Air Force will not even have time to catapult and parachute.

Losses are losses, and the South Korean Air Force, which launched a surprise attack, still managed to destroy 8 key targets.

After 2 o'clock, the DPRK Air Force took to the skies to fight.

At this time, the impact of the sudden outbreak of war on the DPRK military and local areas became apparent.

According to common sense, after receiving a sudden strike, the DPRK Air Force should first ensure the air defense of key areas to avoid more strategic targets being destroyed by the enemy. The DPRK Air Force adopted the exact opposite tactic, and more than 20 of the first batch of more than 30 warplanes that took off from Sunchon and Wonsan were carrying ground-attack ammunition and were ready to bomb military targets in South Korea.

The problem lies in the "fickle" decision-making of the North Korean leadership.

Before Choi Ji-sung went to Beijing for the second time, Kim Cheol-nam ordered the North Korean army to enter the battle

, preparing to attack southward. In accordance with the will of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the operational plans drawn up by the armed forces have been distributed to the main forces. Subsequently, the war alarm was lifted, Kim Cheol-nam hesitated on the issue of whether to take the initiative to attack, and the armed forces command was not able to adjust the orders that had been issued in time.

When war broke out suddenly, the communication system was first attacked and suppressed.

In the absence of a new combat order, the DPRK Air Force can only carry out combat missions in accordance with the orders already given.

At this time, the South Korean Air Force began to increase the range of strikes.

Before the North Korean fighter jets left the airfield, they were spotted by the South Korean Air Force's E-111 and E AWACS aircraft, and the F-22K fighters, which were responsible for seizing air supremacy, immediately went to meet them. There was no suspense in the battle, and within 1 hour, 34 North Korean fighters, who did not even know where the enemy was, were shot down by AIM-22D120D4 medium-range air-to-air missiles launched by F-4K, and not a single one was spared!

Being shot down by an enemy in the air is not much different from being blown up on the ground.

The second round of South Korean air force ground strikes targeted North Korean air defenses and air bases. From this point on, the air strike entered the tactical phase.

Although hundreds of North Korean fighter jets and other planes scrambled into the air before the bombing arrived, a large number of North Korean fighters still did not have time to leave the airfield.

The bombing lasted from 2.15 to, and within half an hour, the DPRK Air Force lost hundreds of combat aircraft.

The fighters of the South Korean Air Force massively used "stand-off long-range attack ammunition" and did not venture into the strike range of the North Korean air defense system. In order to avoid entering the strike range of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, most of the fighters of the South Korean Air Force choose to drop ammunition at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. The DPRK army fought passively and could only be beaten passively.

This round of offensive has fully embodied the combat effectiveness of the ROK Air Force and the progress of the US military's tactical thinking.

The bitter lessons of the Iranian war have made the US military pay more attention to "long-range attack munitions outside the defense zone", which not only requires the ammunition to be thrown at a longer distance and with higher accuracy, but also requires the ammunition to have stealth capabilities. The improvement in the performance of weapons and ammunition has provided the basic conditions for the new tactics of the US military. In addition to allowing unmanned aircraft to perform the most dangerous missions, the U.S. military is placing greater emphasis on the ability to strike important enemy tactical targets outside the defense zone.

The ROK Air Force has basically absorbed the tactics of the US military in its entirety.

Within half an hour, more than 30 air bases and field airfields of the DPRK Air Force were devastated, and the stubborn resistance only shot down South Korean fighters!

Just after 3 o'clock, the DPRK fighters that had taken off to "take refuge" entered the airspace of the Republic one after another, preparing to land at the airfield of the Republic.

It can be said that the rout of the DPRK army far exceeded the expectations of the General Staff.

At 3 o'clock, the Korean army crossed the Hantan River and first occupied Panmunjom.

The ground battle began, and the ROK divisions deployed in Wensan, Maji-ri, Sam-kwan-ri and Sintan advanced northward at the same time, crossed the military isolation zone at the fastest speed, and advanced northward as planned.

The offensive operations of the ROK ground forces are similar to those of the MIA's ground operations.

The two Korean divisions that set out from Insan and Maji-ri marched directly to Kaesong and posed as a strong attack on Kaesong. After capturing Situn-ri and Machang-ri, the Korean division marched along the highway to Cheonghak (the junction of the Pyongyang-Kaesong and Wonsan-Cheonghak railways, and the transportation hub north of Kaesong) to complete the detour of the campaign. After arriving at Bachang-ri from the starting point of Shintan, the Korean army division moved to the direction of Seongbuk-ri and carried out a campaign division operation to cover the right flank of the main force that was attacking Kaesong.

Although the South Korean army only threw in divisions, the North Korean army, which did not know what was happening, was unable to resist in a hurry.

By this time the war had progressed, North Korea had already shown its defeat.

After that, the South Korean scouts arrived on the eastern outskirts of Kaesong.

The North Korean troops, who had lost contact with the rear, mistook the South Korean troops who suddenly appeared for their own troops, and when they discovered that they were the enemy, the North Korean troops stationed in Kaesong sounded the battle alarm. At this time, two South Korean divisions were already under the city.

, the South Korean army concentrated bombing and shelling the North Korean army near Kaesong.

A large number of North Korean troops were completely routed before they could enter combat mode, and the North Korean infantry divisions deployed southeast of Kaesong were the first to be attacked by the armored assault forces of the South Korean army.

The battle was fierce, and the vast majority of the DPRK officers and men displayed a fearless spirit of sacrifice.

According to the recollections of some ROK officers and men, when faced with the sudden appearance of ROK tanks, the DPRK officers and men not only did not give up resistance, but many rushed forward with explosive bags.

Fearless resistance can inspire and break morale.

The suicidal counterattack did not work, and the will of the North Korean officers and soldiers began to crumble.

It was also at this time that the South Korean army encountered its first trouble. According to the plan, the South Korean army would break into Kaesong before dawn and strive to capture Kaesong within 48 hours. By daybreak, the North Korean infantry division southeast of Kaesong not only did not abandon its position, but continued to resist, allowing the South Korean army to spend more time.

Before dawn, the Korean troops stationed in Pyongkang, Kimhwa and Ibri advanced south, and the counterattack began.

At this point, the war on the peninsula broke out in full force!

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
