    When the Luftwaffe bombed the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation bases on the island of Ireland, the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation bases on the Channel Islands were also attacked by the Luftwaffe!  In order to bomb the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force airports on Guernsey and Jersey, the German Air Force invested a wing of Hurricane IV fighters and a wing of J1 bombers!

    It¡¯s just that the Luftwaffe¡¯s bombing of Guernsey and Jersey did not go smoothly!  At 6:30 in the morning, the Chinese naval aviation fighter groups located on the two islands had already launched a small group of fighter jets each for combat readiness patrols!  Five minutes later, the radar station on the island discovered the German aircraft fleet 40 kilometers away!  When the air raid siren sounded, the fighter jets on the two islands quickly took off!  The Chinese Naval Aviation only deployed one fighter group on each of the two islands. Before the German Air Force's fleet arrived, all the remaining 72 F11B 'Vulture' fighter jets took off!  An air battle immediately began. Two groups of the Chinese Naval Aviation Force, a total of 80 F11B "Vulture" fighters, fought against a fighter wing of the German Air Force of 120 Hurricane IV fighters and a wing of J1 bombers!

    After an hour in the air, a total of 22 fighter jets of the Chinese naval aviation were shot down, but the German Air Force lost at least fifty fighter jets. In addition, more than 60 J1 bombers were shot down, some of which were shot down by ground-based air defenses.  Shot down by fire!  However, the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force airports on Guernsey and Jersey were also bombed, causing heavy casualties!  but.  The Luftwaffe's bombing of the Channel Islands did not escape well!

    In this air raid by the German Air Force, it was mainly divided into two directions.  Among them, 5 fighter wings and 5 bomber wings deal with the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation in the Channel Islands and Irish Island.  In the other direction, there are 7 fighter wings and 5 bomber wings to deal with the bases of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation on the Mediterranean!  Given that China has a large number of islands in the Mediterranean, this time the German air force mainly targeted Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily.

    At 3 o¡¯clock in the morning on January 3rd.  The Luftwaffe's 7 fighter wings and 5 bomber wings, with a total of more than 1,400 fighter planes, transferred to the airport in central Italy!  At 5:40 in the morning, when it was just dawn, the German Air Force began to take action!

    Among them, the 6th and 7th Fighter Wings of the German Air Force and the 6th Bomber Wing were responsible for the air raid on Corsica!  8th and 9th Fighter Wings.  The 7th and 8th Bomb Wings were responsible for the air raid on Sardinia!  The 10th, 11th and 12th Fighter Wings, and the 9th and 10th Bomber Wings were responsible for the air raids on Sicily!  As the capital of China's Mediterranean Province, Sicily is also the headquarters of the 4th Air Force of the Chinese Air Force and the Third Fleet of the Navy. It has undoubtedly become a key target of the German Air Force!

    At 6:30 in the morning, the 1st Squadron of the 411th Battalion of the 41st Wing of the Chinese Air Force, which was conducting a combat readiness patrol, discovered an incoming German aircraft group in the waters 60 kilometers east of Sardinia.  On the one hand, the squadron alerted the base.  On the other hand, start facing the enemy!  Subsequently, military radars deployed in Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily also discovered the Luftwaffe fleet.  At this time, the 4th Air Force of the Chinese Air Force and the 7th Fighter Wing of the Naval Air Force had begun emergency takeoff!

    Compared with the smooth air attack on the island of Ireland, the German Air Force¡¯s air attack on the bases of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force in the Mediterranean was not so smooth!  The fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force that took off one after another started a fierce battle with the fighter jets escorted by the German Air Force!  However, the German Air Force's fighter force has a decisive advantage in numbers!  The 4th Air Force of the Chinese Air Force has only three fighter wings.  One is the F11 "Vulture" fighter wing, and the two are F10 "Lightning" heavy fighter wing.  The naval aviation only has one fighter wing!  And there are also many fighters deployed on other islands, such as Cyprus, the Balearic Islands and Gibraltar!  There are only 320 fighter planes in Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily!

    In order to cover the actions of the bomber force, the German Air Force deployed a total of 7 fighter wings with a total of 840 Hurricane IV fighter jets, which was more than twice the number of fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation!  Although the performance of the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets is generally better than that of the Luftwaffe's Hurricane IV fighter jets, it cannot escape the entanglement of the Luftwaffe's fighter force despite being at an extreme numerical disadvantage.  This allowed the Luftwaffe's bomber units to successfully bomb the air force and naval aviation bases in Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily!  Even though the ground air defense forces fired fiercely, they were unable to reverse the situation in the end!

    crucial moment.  Lieutenant General Wu Zhiyuan, Commander of the Third Fleet of the Navy?Fighters from the 4 aircraft carrier battle groups of the Third Fleet took off to attack the Luftwaffe fighters!  Four groups of F11B 'Vulture' fighters joined in, causing heavy damage to the Luftwaffe's bomber force. More than two hundred Luftwaffe J1 bombers were shot down!  Including bombers shot down by ground anti-aircraft fire, the five fighter wings invested by the Luftwaffe lost almost half of their bombers.  The German Air Force's fighter wing was responsible for trapping Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force fighters.  The loss is not small!

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, the German Air Force, which had completed its air raid, began to withdraw from the battlefield.  The fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force pursued and fought fiercely until only the fuel for the return flight was left!

    In this air raid by the German Air Force, most of the more than 20 airports of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force located in Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily were destroyed!  One-third of the two long-range bombers parked in the hangar of the 4th Air Force were also destroyed!  In terms of fighter aircraft, during the fierce fighting, the 4th Air Force lost more than 30 F11 'Vulture' fighter jets and more than 40 F10 'Lightning' fighter jets.  The naval aviation and carrier-based aircraft forces lost more than twenty F11B ¡®Vulture¡¯ fighter jets!  Although the F10 'Lightning' fighter jet has a long range and strong defense, its maneuverability is not as good as the F11 'Vulture' fighter jet. In air combat, it is actually not as good as the F11 'Vulture' fighter jet!

    Overall, this air raid by the German Air Force was quite successful!  Although under the fierce counterattack by the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation, the German Air Force participating in this air attack paid a heavy price!  However, they basically completed the task!  Except for some bases on the Mediterranean, the Chinese Air Force can no longer pose a threat to the German mainland!

    At 3:40 pm on January 3rd, Beijing time, China¡¯s General Staff Headquarters, Navy Department and Air Force Department received telegrams from the front line respectively!  Whether the telegrams were sent back from the island of Ireland or the Mediterranean, they were suddenly attacked by the German Air Force and suffered heavy losses!  Such a defeat immediately caused an uproar in the Chinese military!

    Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff, Marshal Li Dingxin, Minister of Space, and Marshal Long Feiyu, Minister of Navy, immediately rushed to the palace to meet with Emperor Wang Yuze!  At the same time, Marshal Cai Yun also contacted Marshal Jiang Xingguo, Minister of National Defense, and important ministers in the cabinet!

    At 4 p.m., Emperor Wang Yuze held an emergency imperial meeting!  At the meeting, Wang Yuze's face was so gloomy that he could drip water!  There is no doubt that this air raid by the German Air Force undoubtedly gave China a hard slap in the face and caused China to suffer a big loss!

    "Your Majesty, the empire's bases on the island of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Mediterranean Sea were suddenly attacked by the German Air Force, causing heavy losses! The specific battle losses are still being calculated, but the island of Ireland has temporarily lost the ability to carry out strategic bombing against Germany.  Strength! Although more than half of the bases on the Mediterranean have been lost, the surviving bases are still enough to support an attack on the German hinterland!" Chief of General Staff Marshal Cai Yun said with a dark face!  Although the General Staff and the army and navy issued emergency combat preparation orders, they did not expect that the Germans would still take advantage of the loophole.  Although there is a big reason that the time the German Air Force chose to launch the attack surprised everyone, this method of undeclared war is undoubtedly very shameful!  However, there is no doubt that there are fatal loopholes in the defense of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation!

    Marshal Li Dingxin, Minister of the Navy, and Marshal Long Feiyu, Minister of Space, have always lowered their heads.  Suffering such a heavy loss made the two of them feel ashamed and angry!

    "Your Majesty, the Germans have not declared war on us. We must fight back against this despicable behavior!" said Foreign Minister Gu Weijun!

    "I demand that the imperial military come up with a plan to counterattack the Germans in the shortest possible time! The Germans cannot be allowed to continue to be arrogant! In addition, declare war on the Germans immediately!" Wang Yuze said with a dark face!

    At 4:30 pm, Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun gave an urgent note to German Ambassador to China Klind. Without saying anything else, he directly handed over the declaration of war to the other party!  Ambassador Klind also knew about the air raid launched by the German Air Force. Although he was very excited, he did not show it.

    At 4:45 p.m., Emperor Wang Yuze gave a radio speech to inform all the people of the German sneak attack on the Empire. He also announced that the Empire would officially declare war on Germany from now on!  Until Germany is completely defeated!

    The people of the empire were also angry. The Germans actually used such despicable means to sneak attack on the empire. This made everyone very dissatisfied!  Demonstrations in support of the empire's war against Germany broke out everywhere, demanding that the imperial government and army must teach Germany a lesson and make them pay the price for their despicable and shameless behavior!
