Chapter 1859 Air Raid

Because these fighters do not need to supply weapons, most of the fighters with sufficient fuel did not land on the aircraft carrier. Even after they landed on the aircraft carrier, they only needed to add some fuel without filling it, and even half of it was not needed. Fighters with a combat radius of 2,500 kilometers were equipped with sub-fuel tanks and even more. At this time, the aircraft carrier was only more than 100 kilometers away from the west coast of the United States, and it would not exceed 400 kilometers to the target site. In other words, the escort mission of fighters was only 1,200 kilometers. Under the premise of half a warehouse, the combat effectiveness would be slightly improved. They would follow the bomber to escort and do simple bomb drops.

The result of this can not only enhance combat effectiveness, but also directly related to the load capacity of the fighter. Under full load or even overload, the fighter cannot achieve the specified performance. Under the premise of half a warehouse or even light oil, both maneuverability and fighting ability have been greatly improved.

Before the jet aircraft, to be precise, before the combination of radar and guided weapons, the most important thing about the aircraft is its fighting performance, maneuverability, and maneuverability that can explode in a short period of time, which directly reflects its combat effectiveness. There are many ways to avoid the opponent's attack.

The reason why Su 27 first showed terrible power was because he could easily make cobra maneuvers, and even the later super cobras. They were not only a stunt action, but also had the characteristics of use. At some specific times, using these stunt actions can get rid of enemy attacks and obtain a favorable combat position. After Su 27 debuted, Su 27 almost made Su 27 a star.

However, after the 1980s and 1990s, the entire world pattern underwent tremendous changes. The industrial revolution, dominated by microelectronics and new materials, gradually developed to a deeper level, and the power of fighter jets began to significantly improve. What determines the performance of fighter jets is no longer machine guns and maneuverability, but missiles.

Various missiles, combat missiles, long-range missiles, medium-range missiles, and even ground-to-sea missiles, and multiple types of missiles have made aircraft a similar armed platform to aircraft carriers. Multi-purpose aircraft have begun to appear. After an aircraft has mounted different missiles and used different accessories, it can change from this purpose to another purpose. This greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of the aircraft and greatly weakens the importance of the aircraft's maneuverability.

Especially with the development of missiles and stealth performance, among the fourth-generation and even fifth-generation fighter jets in later generations, maneuverability was placed in secondary places. Supersonic cruise, stealth performance, and variable missile cooperation became the key, which is also the fundamental reason why the fourth-generation fighter jets far surpassed the third-generation.

When one side can reach supersonic speed only when the force is oversonic, the other side can perform supersonic cruise anytime and anywhere. When powerful radars and missiles are combined, they can conduct over-visual ranges at 300 kilometers away, their maneuverability can really be placed in a very trivial range. After all, 300 kilometers away, even the aircraft cannot be seen. Who do you maneuver to show? There are many ways to deal with missiles, without consuming the maneuverability of the aircraft. The aircraft can only enter and exit quickly to ensure stealth performance.

The ability of aircraft carriers to accept and release aircraft has its limits. The new aircraft carriers do not use straight-through decks, but the decks of aircraft carriers that are similar to those of later generations. While releasing the aircraft, they can also recycle the aircraft. This greatly increases efficiency and reduces most of the fighter jets, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.

In less than an hour, the well-trained aircraft carrier completed the entire process of release and recovery. 250 aircraft, including 100 fighter jets and 150 bombers, of which 30 medium-sized bombers basically met the requirements of the aircraft fleet.

The fleet that covered the sky and the sun was ready again. The fighter carefully protected the bomber in the middle. In addition to carrying a large number of 50-100 kilograms of aviation bombs, it also carried some of the incendiary bombs to deal with fixed targets such as villages. Of course, it is better to deal with ordinary aviation bombs, but it is of course the incendiary bombs that are best for the army, especially those with arms. Once the incendiary bombs detonate those arms, the death explosion will be enough to turn the barracks into a sea of ​​fire, which will cause huge lethality.

Only half of the aircraft took off, and some aircraft were also doing simple training on the aircraft carrier, waiting for the planes that were carrying out missions in the distance to return. However, due to the completion of the entire combat plan, these aircraft were also on the way back.

At night, when the fleet took off towards the mainland of the United States, the sky was gradually darkening. The US military located in Eldorado did not realize that they would be attacked at all. They were still immersed in the next action. The US military's actions were extremely fast. It took almost a few days to concentrate 70,000 troops. Now the army is concentrated, and the trains are in place. Next, we will enter the Central Mountain Area, protect the entire Central Mountain Area, and give the Japanese a little color. Although there is no way to deal with the Japanese armored forces for the time being, they will no longer let them continue to rage. The US military is quite confident in this regard.

Americans clearly know how rugged the Central Mountains are. As the largest mountainous area in central America, the Central Mountains are not only long but also steep. Even the Pacific Railway, tunnels, winding mountain railways and so on are many, and they are not suitable for tank operation at all. If Japan wants to enter the Central Mountains, it has only one choice, that is, give up its armored power and enter on foot.

When an armored force penetrated into the hinterland of the United States, the reason why the Americans were so helpless was very simple. It was that in the hinterland of the United States, there were few troops that could deal with these armored forces on the wide plains. However, if Japan really gave up its armor advantage and chose to walk, it would be so happy for the Americans. 5,000 tanks, at best, were only 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and it would not have a big impact on the US military that could mobilize hundreds of thousands or even millions at any time.

These US troops were stationed in El Dorado with confidence and were preparing for the next battle. They didn't know that just today, all their internal support, the towns located in the central mountain range, were cleared out by China by air strikes. The closest one was only a few dozen kilometers away. Because of the mountain barrier, they did not see these fires and smoke on the Great Plains like Salt Lake City. Even if there were thick smoke coming, dozens of kilometers apart, they didn't know what happened.

Even, due to the air strikes in those small towns, their traces were discovered through reconnaissance aircraft, and the aircraft carriers were pushed, making a terrible decision to use the Air Force to solve the US troops.

The US troops entering El Dorado were all regular troops. The regular troops of the US troops were trained quite well. They arranged their positions as much as possible in this temporary camp, because the bridge in Sacramento was blown up, which also caused their actions to shift from the railway to the water transport until the inside of the Central Mountains. They did not know that the threat to them had begun, and this time, the threat came from the air.

The power of the airship begins with airships, but airships rarely attack at night. The danger of airships is greater than that of airplanes. They are good during the day and can be used for ground attacks. If you are not careful, you may even fall down. Generally speaking, it is safe at night. Moreover, this is in the United States. Airships are amazing and can fly hundreds of kilometers and thousands of kilometers. This is the hinterland of the United States, and there are people around them. Airships cannot come over openly, which is something they did not expect.

The fleet that took off from the aircraft carrier was slightly concentrated. This was not a fight against ordinary houses, but a fight against real troops. It must be kept hit. Moreover, the concentration and discipline of the army are much stronger than that of civilian facilities. Once the first wave cannot cause a devastating blow, it will be much more difficult to attack them again. The army will not wait for you to attack, and they will escape from dangerous places for a while.

The aircraft carrier is about 400 kilometers away from the US military's hit. The plane maintained enough speed and flew over them in an hour. It was already past 9 o'clock. The US military camp and Eldorado had fallen into darkness. Tomorrow is the day to set off. Except for some senior officers, who made the final preparations before departure, the rest of the personnel have already rested. Next, they have to rush 400 kilometers to set up defense lines near the Rocky Mountains. They have to seize this rare rest time.
