Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the afternoon of October 7, the Chinese Air Force once again bombed the US military's defense line. When dozens of HB'Hongyan bombers dropped dozens of tons of bombs on the US military's defense line, the US military's position turned into a sea of ??fire.  However, the U.S. Army Air Force fighter jets did not appear for a long time, leaving the Chinese Air Force waiting in vain for the U.S. Army Air Force fighter jets to come out for a decisive battle.

    This was not only the case on the afternoon of October 7th, but also on the morning of October 8th, the Chinese Air Force continued to launch attacks, but the U.S. Army Air Forces seemed to be cowardly and no longer dared to fight with the Chinese Air Force.  The US military at least used the anti-aircraft firepower on its positions to attack Chinese Air Force fighters and bombers.  But this does not pose much of a threat to fighters that drop bombs at high altitudes.

    After General Pershing, commander of the U.S. Army's Rio Grande Defense Line, learned of the predicament the Army Aviation was currently facing, in order to prevent the Army Aviation from losing all its fighter planes.  Therefore, the Army Air Force was ordered to stop fighting with the Chinese Air Force in order to preserve its strength.  He knew very well that the reason why the Chinese Air Force continuously launched provocations against the US Army Air Forces was to consume all the US Army Air Forces' fighter jets.  By that time, the Chinese Air Force, which has complete control of the air, will be able to launch indiscriminate bombings against the US military's defense lines.  The Chinese Army's offensive will definitely be launched at that time.  At that time, the Rio Grande defense line will suffer a huge blow.  Although General Pershing had strong confidence in the Rio Grande defense line, he still did not want that to happen.

    "General Feng, congratulations on the Air Force's success! Now the Yankees have been completely frightened and dare not fight with you again!" Marshal Zhao Bowen personally rushed to the Air Force headquarters to express congratulations to Air Force Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Feng Yong.  After several days of fighting, the Air Force had successfully defeated the U.S. Army Air Forces and almost destroyed their will to resist, leaving the Americans willing to act as cowards. This undoubtedly created extremely favorable conditions for the next battle.

    "Marshal, this is what we should do. However, to say that we have completely defeated the main force of the U.S. Army Aviation Forces, we have not yet. According to the intelligence we have received, the U.S. military has at least 60 fighter jets deployed along the Rio Grande defense line.  About four hundred aircraft still have very strong combat effectiveness. It's just that the Americans deliberately avoided fighting in order to preserve their strength!" Air Force Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Feng Yong said.

    "There are still four hundred fighter jets? That is indeed a big threat to us. Is the Air Force sure that it can completely solve the threat to us from American fighter jets in the next week?" Marshal Zhao Bowen frowned  head, and then said.  Various departments of the army are already making final preparations before the attack, and the assembly of troops will be completed soon.  The time to launch the attack on the US military's Rio Grande defense line has also been initially scheduled, on October 5.  The main attack location is in Nuevo Laredo.  At that time, the 7th Army will forcefully cross the Rio Grande here.

    The attack on Reynosa on the lower reaches of the Rio Grande will begin on October 16 or 17.  After the US military's attention was drawn to Nuevo Laredo, the 8th Army launched an attack from Reynosa, trying to gain a foothold in one fell swoop and then break through the US military's defense line.  As long as a solid position can be obtained on the north bank of the Rio Grande, the Chinese army can quickly build a pontoon bridge and send a large number of heavy equipment and soldiers across the river.  By then, the U.S. military¡¯s plan to block the Chinese army south of the Rio Grande will have no choice but to go bankrupt!

    "Marshal, although the Americans want to preserve their strength, we will not let them succeed. Starting tomorrow, we will launch an attack on the American airports. If the Americans still avoid fighting, we will attack all their airports.  Destroy it. When the time comes, let¡¯s see what they can use to fight us!¡± Lieutenant General Feng Yong said.  Aircraft operations must rely on the airport. The aircraft's time in the air is limited. After the fuel and ammunition are used up, they must return to the airport for replenishment.  There are only a few dozen U.S. Army Air Force airports. Now the Chinese Air Force has more than 200 fighter jets and more than 300 bombers and dive bombers, enough to carry out large-scale attacks on U.S. military airports.  The U.S. Army Air Forces fought against them, which undoubtedly won the hearts of the Chinese Air Force. If they avoided fighting, they would destroy their airports one by one.  At that time, the U.S. Army Aviation still has no solution!

    "Well, let's implement it according to the Air Force's plan! I have only one request, and that is that when the Army launches a cross-river attack, the Air Force must provide the Army with the most complete fire support!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.  What he cared about most was the attack that the Army would launch in a week.  This time, it is the most important attack launched by the Chinese army on the United States mainland.  If it is blocked, it will have a profound impact on the entire subsequent combat plan.  The Americans also know the importance of this line of defense and will definitely strengthen their defense.  The barrier of Grande undoubtedly made it more difficult for the Chinese army to attack.  Therefore, air support for landing operations will play a very important role.

      "Marshal, please rest assured that the Air Force will fully support the Army and clear the way for the Army to land!" Lieutenant General Feng Yong said seriously.

    Marshal Zhao Bowen was very satisfied with the commitment from the Air Force.  After encouraging the Air Force, he returned to his headquarters.  He was about to launch an attack on the US military's Rio Grande defense line, and he still had a lot of things to deal with.  The assembly of the main attack force, the reserve of combat supplies, and the reinforcement of follow-up troops, etc., all require him to make the final decision.  He has been very busy during this period of time.

    KO On September 9, the Chinese Air Force once again dispatched a large-scale fleet to attack the US military.  However, the target of the bombing this time was no longer the U.S. Army's Rio Grande defense line, but the U.S. Army Aviation fleet.  The Chinese Air Force dispatched two hundred FB'Haidongqing fighter jets and two hundred H5'Hongyan'bombers and FH5'Falcon dive bombers, divided into five fleets, and attacked five U.S. airports near Laredo.

    After the U.S. Army Air Force discovered the large-scale incoming attack by the Chinese Air Force, it did not choose to take off to fight, but chose to avoid the battle.  However, when they discovered that the Chinese Air Force directly passed the Rio Grande defense line and continued to penetrate deeper into the United States, they immediately judged that the Chinese Air Force's target was no longer the US military's defense line, but their airport.

    At this time, Lieutenant General Kevinson, commander of the U.S. Army Air Forces, had no choice but to order the U.S. Army Air Forces to take off to meet the enemy.  However, their preparation was not sufficient.  In order to preserve their strength, the US military's fighter planes have been evacuated again.  The total number of fighter planes remaining at the airport near Laredo is only a few hundred.

    In this operation, the Chinese Air Force fighter jets dispersed the U.S. military fighter jets in one fell swoop and entangled the U.S. military fighter jets.

    And bombers and dive bombers took the opportunity to bomb the US military airports, blowing all five US military airports into ruins.  The runway was pockmarked and the airport's supporting facilities were destroyed.  Oil depots and ammunition depots were targeted for bombing.  After the bombers completed their mission and returned, the fighters from both sides were still engaged in a fierce battle.  However, faced with the siege of two hundred 'Haitongqing' fighter jets deployed by the Chinese Air Force, and the hundreds of 'Hurricane' fighter jets from the U.S. Army Air Force, they simply could not hold on and were defeated in half an hour of air combat.  After shooting down most of them, the remaining fighters fled in all directions.  The fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force were in hot pursuit.  In the end, the Chinese Air Force lost 9 F5'Haidongqing fighter jets in this air battle. In addition, during the bombing, two HB'Hongyan bombers and three FH5'Falcon dive bombers were destroyed by ground air defenses.  Destroyed by fire.  But the results achieved are also very amazing.  The U.S. Army Aviation lost 73 fighter jets in this air battle, and 5 airports were completely destroyed.  This further dealt a blow to the strength of the U.S. Army Aviation.

    Faced with this attack from the Chinese Air Force, the U.S. Army Aviation Forces are in a state of complete difficulty.  If they meet the enemy, their fighter jets will gradually be lost.  If they avoid fighting, when all the U.S. Army Air Forces' airports are destroyed, they will eventually have to face the Chinese Air Force, and they will pay a huge price for it.

    On the afternoon of KO on the 9th, the Chinese Air Force did not continue to launch the attack, but made a transition.  The US Army Air Forces near Laredo have been almost wiped out, and it is time to launch attacks on US Army Air Forces airfields in other areas.

    On October 10, the Chinese Air Force launched a large-scale attack on the U.S. Army airfield opposite Reynosa near McCarran.  More than eighty "Hurricane" fighter jets of the U.S. Army Air Force took off to fight.  However, faced with the siege of hundreds of FB'Haitongqing fighter jets escorting the bombers, they still suffered heavy losses.  Among the more than eighty fighter jets, except for a dozen that escaped, the rest had their heads shot down.  The Chinese Air Force only paid the price for the downing of 6 FB'Haidongqing fighter jets, one HB'Hongyan bomber and two FH5'Falcon dive bombers.  Also, several U.S. Army Air Force airfields near McCarran were destroyed.

    In the next few days, the Chinese Air Force frequently dispatched bombers to bomb US military airports, and each time it dispatched a large number of fighter jets to escort the bombers.  Under such circumstances, the U.S. Army Air Forces had to fight.  In the end, the U.S. Army Aviation fighter jets suffered heavy losses, and most of the airport was destroyed!
