Back in 1978, I was admitted to Northwestern Polytechnical University.

Chapter 366 The End of the World's Sixth Air Force

Inside the sturdy command post.

"Damn it, what are they trying to do? They're even targeting the hydroelectric power station we're building right now! This is a project aided by the Soviet Union. To attack the Peace Hydroelectric Power Station is to slap the Soviet Union in the face!" The person in the main seat spoke angrily.

The news of the bombing of the Heping Hydropower Station had reached them, and the entire command center fell silent except for one voice roaring.

"Since they have broken the tacit agreement, we can no longer be conservative. Our fighter jets must also be deployed to bomb various targets within their territory!"

Li Deying frowned. This couldn't be!

Our territory is long and narrow, with a maximum length of only 1,600 kilometers from north to south. With the equipment of those people in the north, they can fly all over the country. If we establish an aerial refueling corridor over the eastern ocean, it will be even easier to fly.

Our fighter jets simply can't fly over there! You have to understand, the enemy's air power is extremely strong!
Now, all we can do is take the beating!

"Report! Bianhe Air Force Base has been bombed!"

Another piece of bad news has arrived!

Back then, the monkeys in the north could only establish some simple field air force bases in the jungle, while the Americans controlled the south, which had a large number of advanced air force bases. Among them, Da Nang Air Force Base was the largest and had the most fighter jets. Most of the fighter jets that carried out bombing missions took off from here.

Bienho Air Base is the second largest base. During the US military era, this base was mainly responsible for providing air support to the ground and also served as the command center for the US military and South Korean air forces.

Therefore, once the monkeys unified the entire territory, the border air base continued to play a role, becoming the monkeys' most important air base, with the number of fighter jets accounting for almost one-third of the monkeys' entire air force!

Now, the border base has also been bombed?
"Is the damage serious?"

"It's not serious. There are just some small, unexploded bombs scattered on the runway. Our engineers are dealing with them and will be able to clear them within three days. Then the runway will be restored."

"Good, good, good! Once the runway is cleared, our air force will retaliate!" The man in the main seat said with a gloomy face, "Hmph, since they want to expand their operations, then we'll play along with them. We'll let them taste what it's like to be bombed!"

This time, they were truly enraged and ready to go all out.

Li Deying frowned. For some reason, he still had a bad feeling. The other side's military operation was large-scale, yet they only destroyed the runway at the border and the base, preventing the fighter jets from taking off? What's next? Do they have any backup plans?
Princess Tomb, Airplane Building.

"Report: The first satellite has passed over the target, and the effects of the attack on each target are being assessed."

Old Lin nodded: "How about the border and the base?"

"The hangars at Bianhe Air Force Base are very sturdy. They were built by the US military at great expense. The cluster munitions we used could only cover the runway. None of those sturdy hangars were destroyed."

"Yes, it's destined to be the target of our twin-engine Q-6. After the second satellite flies by and the target is assessed a second time, our air force should be deployed. Have the early warning aircraft taken off yet?"

"The early warning aircraft is scheduled to take off in five minutes."

"Okay, order the escort fighters to protect the early warning aircraft at all costs."

"Yes, the early warning aircraft is flying in the eastern waters of the monkey, escorted by fighter jets that took off from Qiongzhou. It is very safe."

Qiongzhou, Ledong Air Force Base.

The base's history dates back to 1940, when it was occupied by the Japanese and an airport was built in Huangliu Town, Ledong County, to serve as the third air base in South China and support military operations in several nearby battlefields.

After liberation, the Ledong Air Force Base also came into the embrace of the motherland.

In later generations, this place was abandoned and turned into farmland, and the former bunker became a place for farmers to store their farm tools.

Currently, the Ledong base is still in use, and a large number of Air Force fighter jets take off from here, which is more convenient than taking off from the north.

The first to take off, of course, was the early warning aircraft!

The Y-10 early warning aircraft, carrying a large radar dome, roared into the sky. Behind it, two twin-engine Q-6 fighters flew on the left and right. Although they are attack aircraft, with their advanced airborne radar and large missile loads, these aircraft are also very good at performing escort missions.

Or rather, this is the advantage of heavy fighter jets. For a country with such a vast territory, heavy fighter jets are an essential choice.

Takeoff, climb, and at a cruising altitude of about 10,000 meters, about 300 kilometers from the Monkey Coastline, the radar on the back of the early warning aircraft was activated.

Unlike previous early warning aircraft, its airborne radar does not need to rotate. Although it still has the shape of a mushroom disc, it does not need to rotate to search because the first-generation active phased array radar antenna developed by Northwestern Polytechnical University has been installed inside the fuselage!

The internal data processing system does not need to be replaced; simply changing the antenna can significantly improve the performance of this early warning aircraft. For example, its search range has reached an incredible 700 kilometers!
At this distance, it can see clearly into the 400-kilometer-deep territory of the monkey! It can be said that any aircraft taking off from the monkey's territory can be seen clearly!

"The KJ-2000 is in position! There is no sign of any air force deployment over the monkey's territory!"

"It seems our cruise missiles have completely paralyzed the monkey's defenses; the monkey's territory is now defenseless! Order: Peace Mission, Phase Two of the operation, officially commence! Proceed according to plan!"

"Yes!"

Bianhe Air Force Base.

Commander Nguyen Thanh Ngan stood at the end of the runway and shouted, "Quickly, drive all the livestock over here!"

If traditional sappers were used to clear the mines, it would take far too long, and they simply couldn't wait. So, after the air raid, Nguyen Thanh Ngan ordered his men to go to the nearby villages and bring back all kinds of livestock from the villagers' homes.

There aren't many cattle and sheep. On the monkeys' side, they hardly use cattle for farming, and the sheep that graze aren't popular here either. Almost half of them are pigs, with a lot of filth on their noses. These pigs grunt and whine as they walk around, completely disobeying the monkeys' management.

The monkey soldiers chased them back and forth, but they were also a little scared. What if they went to the wrong place and with a bang, they would be gone too!
boom!
The next moment, with a roar, a fat old sow flew into the air, startling the other livestock, which then scattered and ran out of control.

A water buffalo came toward Ruan Qingyin. Ruan Qingyin drew his pistol: "Go back! Go back now!"

The ox couldn't understand his words. Instead, it lowered its head, ready to raise its head and use its horns to lift the thing blocking its way into the sky when it got close.

boom!
A gunshot rang out, and the buffalo finally fell to the ground.

"Damn it! Our Monkey Kingdom is facing a life-or-death crisis, don't you know how to be loyal to your country?" Ruan Qingyin's face was gloomy.

The people around him were trembling.

Ruan Qingyin wasn't an idiot; of course he knew it was pointless to talk to a brick wall. He said that only because... he wanted to say it to others.

Time waits for no one. Their fighter jets must take off as soon as possible to engage the enemy. If the livestock don't obey, it will be time for humans to take the field. Anyone who isn't a technician must line up, hold hands, and walk from one side of the runway to the other.

The explosion wasn't very powerful; he definitely won't die, but he'll certainly lose his leg.

This is forcing them to pay the price of disability in exchange for the airport to resume operation!
Of course they didn't want to. After fighting for so many years, many people didn't want to continue. In the Monkey Kingdom now, there were more women than men. As long as they went home, no one would care how many wives they married. The women would do the housework, and they could just lie around at home. How wonderful that life would be!

However, the commander's orders must be obeyed. They had just killed a cow; what if they were to kill someone next?
"Report!" Just then, someone rushed over: "Large areas of static have appeared on the radar screen, we suspect a strong electromagnetic interference!"

They have extensive combat experience. When they fought the Americans, the Americans often released electromagnetic interference, but that was nothing to worry about; they had many ways to counter it.

"Switch to the backup frequency band!"

The massive jamming across the entire frequency band sounds impressive, but it requires astronomical amounts of energy! Not to mention airplanes, even warships wouldn't provide enough energy. To truly disrupt the entire globe, something on the scale of the sun would be necessary.

Therefore, electronic jammers can only detect the frequency band of the target radar and then carry out targeted jamming, while ground radar has a new method: switching frequency bands!
After being interfered with, switch to the backup frequency band!
A few minutes later.

"Now, the time for us to be tested has come. We must restore our air force to combat readiness as soon as possible. Our air force, the sixth largest in the world, is not to be underestimated. We have two thousand fighter jets, and we absolutely cannot just remain on the ground like this..."

Ruan Qingyin began to incite his men, and once the incitement was over, he sent them to their deaths, cough cough, to their deaths.

"One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers." Sometimes, even when officers know that their orders will send their men to their deaths, they still have to issue those orders!
The U.S. Air Force has always claimed that its strength is second only to China, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, ranking sixth in the world. After all, in terms of scale, they have a full two thousand fighter jets!

This propaganda slogan is certainly more reliable than that of Saddam Hussein, which claims to be the world's fourth-strongest military power, ranking two places ahead of it. However, the propaganda of the Monkey Air Force is still somewhat exaggerated.

Take two thousand aircraft as an example, which mainly consists of three parts.

One part was Soviet aid, which provided a large number of MiG fighter jets during the war against the United States; another part was Eastern aid, which provided a large number of J-5 fighter jets; and the third part was captured aircraft.

After the reunification of North and South, the monkeys acquired a large amount of weapons and equipment abandoned by the US military, including more than 800 aircraft alone.

Thus, when all are added together, the number of fighter jets reaches a terrifying scale of two thousand, and the number of monkey air force personnel is as high as sixty thousand.

From this perspective, it's clear that it would be a miracle if a nation of a militaristic and warlike country could develop!

But does having two thousand aircraft make us the sixth strongest military power in the world?

of course not!

American-made fighter jets certainly can't get spare parts, and the monkey ground crew's skills are too poor. They simply can't do what Lang Tuo did, like organ donation, dismantling part of the aircraft to maintain the operational capability of the other part.

Therefore, after several years, not many of those American-made fighter jets are still able to fly.

They mainly relied on Soviet-supplied aircraft, such as the MiG-21. This type of aircraft played a significant role in the confrontation with the United States. When relations with the East deteriorated, the Soviet Union urgently sent another batch of 190 MiG-21s, effectively filling the equipment gaps in the Monkey Air Force.

These aircraft are the elite of the Monkey Air Force, and they are all stored at the Border Base.

This place was once a major base for the US military, with hundreds of hangars, many of which were transport aircraft hangars, each capable of storing several aircraft!

At this moment, Nguyen Thanh Ngan was eager to get his base back in operation, hoping to play a role in the upcoming battle. The first thing he needed to do was to clear the runway!
Thump, thump!

Just then, in one corner of the base, anti-aircraft guns opened fire indiscriminately!

Ruan Qingyin was taken aback and turned to look, but there were no airplanes in the sky! Then she looked again and saw what were those densely packed things? A flock of birds?
A bomb! It's a bomb!
"Damn it, where did these bombs come from!" At this moment, Ruan Qingyin was not afraid of the impending devastating blow, but only bewildered.

I didn't see any planes! And with so many bombs, that's definitely carpet bombing!

A few minutes ago, 60 kilometers away, 10,000 meters in the air.

Eight H-6 bombers lined up in the sky, forming a long dragon.

"Attention, prepare to throw!"

The bomb bay door opened with a whoosh.

"Throw!"

In the past, the bombing of H-6 bombers was a very complicated process. They would be 60 kilometers away from the bombing route, and the navigator and bombardier at the front would have to lie on the aiming device, find landmarks, determine the direction, and lead the entire formation forward.

If you encounter an interception along the way, you cannot change your formation, otherwise you will have to start all over again.

Now, nothing is needed.

Just drop the bomb from 60 kilometers away!

Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of bombs leaving their racks continued to ring out.

The maximum payload of the H-6 bomber is nine tons. At this point, the range will be drastically shortened to less than three thousand kilometers. However, if it takes off from Qiongzhou, there is no problem going back and forth, so it is always in maximum payload mode.

Twenty bombs weighing 500 kilograms can be hung!

That's right, it's said to be 500 kilograms, but that's just the level. In reality, the 500 model bomb weighs 437 kilograms, and even with the modification kit, it only weighs 450 kilograms, so you can easily carry two more.

In this way, eight bombers can drop 160 bombs, which are set to bomb the hangar before takeoff.

No need to fight or scramble, every hangar will get one! We guarantee that after this round of bombing, there won't be a single plane left at the entire Bianhe Air Force Base!
The bomb wobbled as it fell, and a few seconds later, its wings unfolded and it began to glide forward!
One hundred and sixty bombs rained down, creating a spectacular scene, just like a flock of birds!
On the bomber, the pilots watched this scene with deep emotion.

Beautiful! This bombing is practically an art form!
"Attention, all aircraft returning to base!" the lead bomber commander ordered.

The fleet began its return journey and soon left the airspace above the country. When it reached the sea, a lone Y-10 was spotted flying along the coastline.

This Y-10 doesn't have a large display panel, but it has countless vertical antennas on its back. This is a special piece of equipment in the Air Force: the Y-10 electronic jamming aircraft!
This aircraft has been under development for several years, and recently, gallium nitride components have replaced the previous parts. The transmitter has a greater power, so one aircraft can interfere with one-third of the monkey's territory! Moreover, many of the antennas on it are used to collect signals. As soon as a new frequency band is detected, the jamming methods will be adjusted immediately to ensure that the monkey's radar screen is filled with snow.

The first wave of cruise missile attacks cannot completely destroy all of the monkey's air defense capabilities; some radar sites will always survive. Therefore, the strongest electromagnetic interference must be applied!
At the same time, the bombers dropped their missiles from a distance of 60 kilometers away from the target. Even if there were still some HQ-2 air defense missiles remaining at the target base, they would not pose any threat to them.

Therefore, the bomber force dared to penetrate deep into enemy territory without even escorting fighters.

Things that were unthinkable in the past are now commonplace!

Just as they spotted the Y-10 electronic jamming aircraft, the bombs had already reached the skies above the Bianhe base.

Anti-aircraft artillery positions on the edge of the base.

"A flock of birds is flying overhead... Oh, damn it, those aren't birds, they're bombs! Quick, start the anti-aircraft guns!"

The lookout was very diligent; he immediately spotted through his binoculars that those winged things were not birds but bombs!

Soon, the anti-aircraft guns roared, but even shooting down an aircraft with an anti-aircraft gun was no easy task, let alone using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot down a bomb!
The shells exploded in the air, but the bomb formation was completely unaffected and continued to fly.

"Attention, adjust the delayed fuse to detonate at an altitude of 200 meters, continue salvo firing!" the anti-aircraft artillery commander shouted.

The bombs are getting closer and closer!

Just as the gunners were quickly adjusting the fuses, they heard a familiar whistling sound. Looking up, they saw a bomb arcing through the air and then... heading straight for their anti-aircraft gun position!

This...how is this possible!

The sight of the bombs with wings had already terrified them, but now, seeing that they could turn corners filled them with even greater horror.

"Oh, damn it, it's here to bomb us!"

"Quickly, fire!"

At this point, there's no way to escape. The only way is to destroy it before it falls!

Thump, thump!

The anti-aircraft guns fired fiercely, but to no avail! The bomb folded its wings, swooped down with a sharp whistle, and struck...

On the ammunition storage position!

boom!
Boom boom!

Amidst the explosions, the entire anti-aircraft artillery position was engulfed in flames!
On the base runway, Ruan Qingyin stared wide-eyed at the bomb that had veered off course, his eyes filled with despair.

Damn it, this thing knows its way around and only picks up high-value targets to bomb. Next... this bomb is going to destroy our hangar!
My base is probably doomed!
