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

Chapter 367 Throwing the Bomb into the Ventilation Shaft in Several Steps
During the Vietnam War, the North Koreans were always on the defensive. Their mission was to drag the war out, turn their country into a quagmire, and ultimately wear down the United States.

The United States is the aggressor and doesn't usually worry about its bases being bombed. Therefore, although hangars have been built here, they are all ordinary reinforced concrete structures, mainly to provide shelter for aircraft from the wind and rain.

As for its resistance to damage... I estimate that a 250-kilogram bomb could destroy it, let alone a 500-kilogram bomb!
A massive, densely packed swarm of bombs finally reached the top of the hangar, each bomb seemingly having eyes, searching for its own target.

A bomb swerved in the air and then swooped down toward a hangar.

boom!
The top of the hangar was blown away in the center by the explosion, and the surrounding area collapsed. Below, a nearly brand-new MiG-21 fighter jet was covered by construction debris. Amidst the cracking sounds, not only was the aircraft's skin damaged, but its internal structural frame was probably also bent.

This is beyond repair!

boom!
A hangar that was originally used for bombers was destroyed. Inside, two of the eight MiG-21 fighters were buried on the spot. The next moment, flames rose up and gushing flames shot towards the other aircraft.

Boom, boom boom!

The hangars were being destroyed one after another, and the fighter jets were being turned into rubble at a rapid pace. The efficiency was definitely high!
Three minutes later, the explosion ended, and flames and billowing black smoke filled the air. Ruan Qingyin looked at the scene and, with a thud, knelt down on the ground.

It's over, it's over!

If an airport runway is damaged, it can be repaired. But if a fighter jet is destroyed, the air force is finished!
The Easterners could no longer provide them with aircraft; only the Soviet Union could continue to provide aid. The problem was that the Soviet Union was already bogged down in the Afghan war, having poured a lot of money into it, and was also vying for global hegemony with the United States. It simply did not have the spare capacity to provide them with large numbers of fighter jets.

The pilot losses weren't too great, but... the monkeys didn't have many elite pilots to begin with, and their flying experience was still stuck in the past, focused on homeland air defense and aerial guerrilla warfare; their tactical capabilities were already outdated.

Even if the air force still had fighter jets, at most it would just be a waste of some advanced air-to-air missiles from the East. Now that the air force has no fighter jets, it doesn't even have the right to waste Eastern missiles anymore!

Similar scenes are unfolding at other air force bases!

Da Nang Air Base, Tan Son Nhat Air Base...

The large air force bases were all reduced to ashes by long-range glide bombs! They didn't even have time to see the bombers attacking them until they were bombed!
Those bombs looked like they came from outer space!
Inside the sturdy command post.

"Report: Bianhe Air Base has been subjected to massive carpet bombing; all aircraft have been destroyed!"

"Report: An air force base in Johor Bahru has been subjected to massive carpet bombing; all aircraft have been destroyed!"

"Report……"

The monkeys have become numb to the news!
They originally thought that the missile attack by the Easterners was all there was to it, but little did they know that this was just the beginning!
The missiles targeted their vital facilities: long-range radar sites, anti-aircraft missile sites, power plants... These attacks threw the monkeys into complete chaos, and then... came a massive air raid, which the monkey air force was unable to organize an effective counterattack!

"What happened to our previous tactics? We could have clearly been conducting aerial guerrilla warfare against the enemy's fighter jets under the guidance of ground radar!" The person in the main seat was furious.

“The first step in our previous tactics was to be able to detect the enemy, but this time, even if our radar is not destroyed, it will suffer from strong electromagnetic interference.” Li Deying’s voice was low. At this moment, he was only able to keep from collapsing by forcing his body to stand up.

"How powerful is it? Is it even more powerful than the electromagnetic interference from the United States?"

"Yes, those people in the North possess advanced electronic technology, even surpassing that of the United States, while we..."

"Hmph, we haven't failed yet! If we can defeat America, we can defeat those people in the North too!" The person in the main seat remained stubbornly defiant.

Did they defeat the United States?

no.

The United States' goal is to support the Southern monkeys and overthrow the Northern monkeys. Therefore, the Americans entered the monkeys' territory, which is like fighting on foreign soil.

And what about the East? In 79, they marched straight in and within a month controlled half of the Monkey's territory, and were on the verge of attacking Hanoi.

At that time, many people in the monkey capital were so frightened that they began to flee!
However, the East is a righteous and civilized army! The East never engages in aggression, so after teaching the monkey a lesson, the Eastern army began to retreat, eventually returning to its previous location.

When we withdraw, we should take with us what we can and destroy what we cannot take on the spot. We cannot leave anything for the monkeys!
This also gave the monkeys a false impression that the East was still outwardly strong but inwardly weak, so they continued to create friction on the border!
In fact, the most correct thing the monkey would have done at that time was to stop the war, learn from the lessons, and develop the economy. Unfortunately, the monkey didn't understand!
By withdrawing from the Monkey's territory, the Easterners avoided getting bogged down in war. Continuing to fight on the border would only serve as military training for the East, while simultaneously containing the Monkey and preventing it from developing its economy.

As for this battle, they didn't even intend to let the monkeys in the central and southern regions go, aiming to completely force them back to an agricultural society!

Now, those in power are still fantasizing about defeating the people in the north. But the people in the north will never set foot on the monkey's territory. How can they be drawn into a quagmire of war?

When this war ended, monkey society regressed by at least fifty years!
"They fight their battles, we fight ours. Afterwards, we'll continue with special operations as the main focus, with small groups infiltrating..." The person in the main seat continued to stubbornly insist, "As long as we don't die, the battle will continue!"

Should we continue fighting? After this, how will they fight? Special operations, infiltration? Are you kidding me! Do you think the northern defenses are so easily breached?
Fortunately, they moved their command center here. So far, their command system is still intact, they can still control the overall situation, and they still have a chance to turn the tide!
At that moment, no one knew that two Q-6 fighter jets were flying in from a distance.

The H-6 bomber is used to deal with large-area high-value targets, such as airfields, barracks, and factories. The twin-engine Q-6 fighter jet is used to deal with some tactical targets, which do not require large-area bombing and only need to drop one or two missiles.

For these two Q-6 fighter jets, there was no psychological pressure. After all, the target they were going to bomb was a target that our Eastern Engineering Corps had built. Bombing these ungrateful wretches was no big deal!

"008 calling 007, you attack first!" the lead pilot called.

The reason two aircraft were deployed is because they carried different weapons and equipment!
The lead aircraft had a long cannon barrel hanging under its belly. This was the latest bunker buster, a device that could penetrate the thick reinforced concrete layer of the target. However, this thing needed to be approached and then dive-bombed, which was indeed somewhat dangerous. There were definitely hidden anti-aircraft artillery positions nearby for this kind of target.

Even a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches. Even if the radar is jammed, the indiscriminate firing of anti-aircraft guns might still pose a threat to the twin-engine Q-6.

Therefore, we should first try dropping precision-guided bombs from a distance. If that doesn't work, then we can fly over there.

"007 received. All preparations for bombing are complete. Requesting permission to drop the bomb!"

"bomb!"

Bang!Bang!
The pylons detached, and the two bombs left the fighter jet one after the other, unfolding their gliders and heading towards their target.

This target is important. Intelligence gathered from electronic warfare aircraft indicates that it is constantly emitting strong electromagnetic waves, suggesting that there is an enemy command center here.

As for what level of commander is inside... who cares if he's a big monkey or a little monkey, he's just a monkey anyway, and it's only right to teach a monkey a lesson!
For ordinary targets, after dropping the bomb, they should have flown away, but they didn't, because they planned a second attack, so they had to assess the results of this attack.

How to evaluate it?

Naturally, they'll use their own airborne radar! Synthetic aperture mode!

On the radar screen, images of the ground appeared: houses, trees... everything was crystal clear. In recent years, radar technology has continued to advance, and the sharpening ratio has reached 60:1. This makes it easy for the twin-engine Q-6 to perform ultra-low-altitude penetration missions, and now it is used to perform bombing effect assessment missions.

The two glide bombs flew slower than the fighter jet, since they had no power. So the twin-engine Q-6 also reduced its throttle, spread its wings, and slowly followed behind.

Fifty kilometers, forty kilometers, thirty kilometers...

"Two enemy planes have appeared in the distant sky!" Just then, the soldiers guarding the perimeter of the command post sounded an alarm.

This is, after all, the residence of important figures, so the defenses outside are very tight. There are sentries guarding the area 20 kilometers away. They called out as they saw the two fighter jets flying in.

As for the two gliding bombs flying ahead... they didn't notice them; after all, the bombs were too small to be of any interest.

Inside the fortified command post. "What? Two enemy planes have arrived?" Li Deying frowned. "Are they here to bomb us?"

This air defense command post was built by the Easterners, so they naturally know its location. However... the ten-meter-thick roof cannot be destroyed by any bomb. The Easterners do not have that capability!

Among twin-barreled, +65 weapons, none possess this level of power! Unless…

Impossible, impossible. This is just a local conflict; it hasn't escalated to the point of using mushroom shells.

"Protect our leaders and retreat out of here!"

"No, I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere! If it's not safe here, where is it safe?" The person in the main seat firmly refused.

That's right, this is already the safest place! Leaving here means hiding in the jungle, but is the jungle safe? Unless we cut off all contact with the outside world, as soon as we try to contact the outside world by radio, we'll be quickly locked on and bombed. Our air force has been destroyed; we won't have a single fighter jet left. How can we fight?
The insistence of the person in the dominant position is justified.

"Warning! Warning! Two bombs detected!"

The lookout outside finally spotted the bomb flying in front of the two Q-6 bombers! He cried out in terror.

bomb?

Where are you from?
Was it the same bomb that destroyed our own air force base?
Li Deying frowned. These bombs could destroy the hangar, but they couldn't destroy this air defense fortification. The other side was just showing off by throwing bombs at them!

"The bomb is veerging and is expected to land about fifty meters west of my air defense fortifications!"

The lookout was also a seasoned veteran. After the initial panic, he calmed down and began to use his experience to make judgments.

The accuracy of bomb throwing is not high!

Li Deying's pupils suddenly dilated. He was very familiar with this fortification. Fifty meters to the west was the ventilation shaft of the fortification!
Are they planning to throw a bomb in through the ventilation shaft?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! The diameter of this ventilation shaft is only one meter, and those two Q-6 bombers were still twenty kilometers away, which means that the bomb was dropped from at least forty kilometers away. How could such a long distance be used to drop a bomb with a diameter of only one meter?
His judgment was somewhat off; the bomb was dropped from 60 kilometers away. However… the distance didn't matter, since the accuracy was provided by the satellite navigation system!
Two satellites overhead were rapidly transmitting electromagnetic waves, while a calibration station in the distance was providing calibration signals. Guided by these multiple signals, the bomb continued its flight forward, ever forward…

The lookout was still intently watching the bomb, his pupils dilating and his mouth agape.

"Damn it, it's flying towards the vent..."

Bang! Crash!

The first bomb had already reached the vent, and then... gurgle...

The bomb missed!

There is a difference between exercises and actual combat. The vent was originally covered with an iron rain cap, but after a few years, it started to rust from sun and wind. So the monkey put a concrete cover on top of it. Although it was only half a meter thick, this cover caused the first bomb to go astray.

Even if it's just a tiny bit off, it won't go in!

Fortunately, it's a time-delay fuse. If it were to explode now, the entire vent would collapse, and a second one wouldn't be able to get in.

Although the first bomb didn't penetrate, it at least destroyed the concrete structure above. The second bomb then followed the opening created by the bomb.

Pfft!
Go in!
"Report! The second bomb has gone in! It's in!"

Inside the sturdy command post, everyone was stunned.

A ventilation opening only one meter in diameter, and the enemy's bomb still managed to get through. How high is that accuracy? How did the Easterners manage to do that?
No one told them that the next moment, they heard a gurgling sound, the sound of a bomb falling into the ventilation shaft!
"Quick, protect me!" the person in the main seat shouted, then jumped up and ran in another direction.

The others realized what was happening and decided to run, or else they would die.
Li Deying didn't move. Was it too late to run? She thought this place was the safest, but she never expected... the other side could actually throw a bomb in through the ventilation shaft!

There's no escape, no hiding, so let's just wait to die!

Boom!
The wire mesh inside the ventilation duct couldn't stop the half-ton iron lump; it rumbled into the command post, and then…

boom!
A huge fireball rose up, and the shockwave quickly swept through the entire command center!
Within a confined space, the power of an explosion is most fully realized; the blast wave tears everything apart, leaving behind a trail of blood and flesh, quickly charred and burned...

The command post was filled with high temperature and pressure. The ten-meter-thick concrete at the top might be able to withstand it, but the side walls, which were only twenty or thirty centimeters thick, could not!

Boom, boom boom!

The side wall exploded, scattering debris everywhere. The surrounding soil was pushed away, and flames rose from the side, leaving the ground in the air. Flames were shooting out all around the fortification, much like... a UFO taking off.

Countless fragments crashed into the supporting pillars. The next moment, one pillar broke, then a second, a third...

Whoosh! Boom!

The ten-meter-thick concrete roof collapsed! Even if there were still people inside, they would be crushed into mincemeat. The collapse of the roof meant that the entire fortification was completely destroyed!
boom!
The bombs outside also exploded, and the loyal subordinates who tried to rush in to save people were all blown into the air.

In the heavens, within the six realms.

"The target's roof has collapsed; it has been completely destroyed!"

"Mission complete, let's move on to the next target!" the lead pilot shouted.

The two Q-6 fighter jets flew away, leaving behind a mess. At that moment, the pilots had no idea how many people they had killed or what their rank was.

The Monkey Capital.

The battle has begun, and bombings are taking place all over the country, but the capital remains unscathed!
Huang Ruli's face was deathly pale.

These bombed areas are the monkeys' Achilles' heel. If we wipe them out, the monkeys won't recover for decades! After this battle, the monkeys will be finished!
“During World War II, the island nation provoked the United States and ultimately met its defeat. We… we actually went and provoked our northern neighbor. This is absolutely a path to our doom!” Huang Ruli sighed.

“Yes, now that we’ve driven out the Americans, we should hurry up and rebuild. Look at our northern neighbors; they’ve achieved remarkable results in economic development over the years. We… we fought before to drive out the invaders and unify the country. What are we fighting for now?” Changzheng chimed in.

Vo Nguyen Giap didn't speak. He was a soldier, and obeying orders was his duty. Moreover, soldiers all yearn for war, but now... from a soldier's perspective, they simply couldn't continue fighting.

Unfortunately, they don't have the final say; these people are all marginalized!
That's why they were left to die. But... judging from this, the enemy doesn't seem to be planning to bomb their capital. It's been very quiet here.

"Report! Report!" Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside: "Our strongest fortifications have been completely destroyed in the bombing!"

"What? What about our leader?"

"do not know!"
