Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

The bomber Jiang Hua mentioned was naturally the legendary bomber in World War II - the B-29 Super Fortress strategic bomber.

This is also the only bomber in World War II that can be called a strategic bomber.

It is also the only bomber to have dropped nuclear weapons.

During World War II in the original world, the Eagle used this bomber to destroy many cities in Fuso.

The most famous of them is Li Mei BBQ.

In this strange world, Jiang Hua didn't mind replicating Li Mei's actions.

The performance of the B-29 Superfortress is unquestionable, and it is much stronger than the B-17.

Its maximum take-off weight reaches 61 tons.

The maximum take-off weight of the B-17 was only over 32 tons, just over half that of the B-29 Super Fortress.

The difference between the two bombers can be seen from their maximum take-off weight.

Then comes the most important thing: range and payload.

Its maximum range can reach 6000 kilometers, and its combat radius can exceed 2000 kilometers when fully loaded.

The maximum bomb load can reach 9 tons, which is also suitable for performing short-distance, low-altitude assault missions.

Generally, the load is around six or seven tons.

However, this bomb load is much higher than that of the B-17G bomber.

There are two reasons why Jiang Hua has always been equipped with B-17 but not B-29.

They are price and demand.

The price of a B-29 bomber was twice that of a B-17 bomber, reaching $1.2 per unit.

The unit price of a B-17 heavy bomber is only 6000 yuan.

Then there is the demand. The previous Air Force had no demand for long-range bombers, and all enemies were within the 17-kilometer combat radius of the B-1000G bomber.

The funds for one B-29 can produce two B-17s, so it is naturally more cost-effective to choose B-17.

After all, this thing is not cheap.

Now that there is a demand, it is natural to start producing the B-29 strategic bomber.

This thing is very expensive, and Jiang Hua only plans to equip two aviation brigades first.

Each bomber aviation brigade was equipped with 93 B-29 bombers, so two brigades had 186 bombers.

With a unit price of 1.2 yuan per unit, the total cost is 223 million yuan.

It is also necessary to recruit pilots, ground crew, etc.

The estimated cost is over 300 million.

This price is not expensive at all.

300 million in funds is equivalent to 300 million oceans.

Spending 300 million dollars to form two B-29 bomber aviation brigades can be described as cheap.

You should know that in the original world, the cost of each B-29 strategic bomber was 64 US dollars.

Based on the exchange rate of 2.5, one aircraft would cost 160 million yuan.

The cost of two aircraft is enough for Jiang Hua to establish these two bomber brigades.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hua felt much more balanced.

Jiang Hua did not intend to place these two bomber brigades in the First or Second Air Force.

Instead, it plans to establish a dedicated Strategic Air Command.

This command is a deputy army-level unit and is on the same level as the Air Force.

The army-level unit is naturally the air force, which is also the unit responsible for a strategic direction.

The reason for needing so many is to be able to concentrate the use of B-29 strategic bombers instead of simply letting them perform tactical bombing missions.

The B-17 strategic bomber is more than enough to support the front line or carry out tactical bombing missions.

The bases of these two aviation brigades are planned to be located in Qidong Province.

Because if you take off from there, it is closest to the Fuso mainland.

If its southern region is bombed, the straight-line distance is only 1000 kilometers.

If you start from Beire Province, the straight-line distance is about 1500 kilometers.

Although these two distances are sufficient for the B-29 to make a round trip, the longer distance means less bomb load.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to place the base in Qidong Province.

Moreover, if bombers are launched against the Fuso mainland from Qidong Province, they do not have to pass through the Korean Peninsula, which also makes it impossible for the Fuso people to provide advance warning. There are still many benefits.

It only took Jiang Hua three days to raise 300 million yuan.

It would take at least seven days to form these two B-29 bomber aviation brigades, so there was no financial pressure at all.

Qidong Province.

After capturing the island city, the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division received an order to reinforce the defense line of Quancheng before it had time to rest.

The defense of the eastern peninsula of Qidong Province was assigned to the 9th Motorized Infantry Division, which also served as a strategic reserve.

The addition of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division also allowed Gu Zhengyang to temporarily slow down the fortifications on the Hebanshan-Zhu Jiayu line.

He planned to make a big move here and annihilate the Northern Frontier Army's vitality in Quancheng.

Since we want to make a big dumpling, we naturally need to attract more troops from the Northern Frontier.

According to the intelligence currently obtained, the Anding Army of the Northern Frontier Army has completely taken over the defense of the Hebanshan-Zhujiayu line, together with the 21st Division of the Anwu Army.

There are four divisions of the Northern Frontier Army here, with a total strength of more than 60,000 people.

In Gu Zhengyang's opinion, the troops here are still a little short.

The more troops gathered here, the less pressure there will be in attacking Quancheng.

"Launch a strong attack appropriately, put immense pressure on them, and force them to request reinforcements from Quancheng."

Gu Zhengyang's order reached the headquarters of the 5th Motorized Infantry Division.

After seeing the order, Luo Qing, commander of the 5th Motorized Infantry Division, immediately understood what to do.

So they mobilized all artillery forces to launch a fierce bombardment on Heban Mountain, and at the same time used 12 K5 railway guns to launch a devastating bombardment on the defensive fortifications of Heban Mountain.

Originally, he only had three K3E railway guns. With the end of the battle in the island city, seven K5E railway guns were pulled up by the locomotive to reinforce him.

There are also 2 new doors produced to supplement.

Twelve K12E railway guns form a complete railway artillery regiment.

It has three battalions under its command, each battalion has four companies under its command, and each company is equipped with one gun.

Compared to the Gustav cannon, the K5E railway gun is much easier to use.

If it was the Gustav cannon, the number of people responsible for installation alone would be as high as 1400, and it would take three weeks to complete the installation.

This does not include the infantry, anti-aircraft artillery, chemical troops, etc. responsible for guarding, with a total of 4000 personnel.

However, although this huge cannon is very troublesome, its power is undeniable.

Under the fierce bombardment, the Anding Army immediately felt the pressure, but did not request reinforcements from the rear.

Cao Guofeng had made a promise to Duan Yunfeng. If he asked for help at the slightest pressure, he would become a laughing stock.

"Damn it, the artillery firepower of the Restoration Army is a bit too strong."

At this time, Cao Guofeng's expression became particularly solemn.

He originally thought that he could rely on this line of defense to stop the Fusion Army, but now it seems that he was a little too optimistic.

"The Restoration Army's artillery is not only powerful, their air force is even more powerful.

They had a super bomb that practically destroyed our defenses."

The person who spoke was naturally Tong Yong from the Anwu Army.

But now he looks several years older than before and has lost his former vigor and vitality.

Obviously, this was a heavy blow from the Renaissance Army.

Hearing Tong Yong say this, Cao Guofeng frowned.

He already felt that things were not simple.

Not long after Tong Yong finished speaking, the air force of the Fuxing Army appeared.

An aerial bombing formation consisting of more than 100 fighter jets of various types arrived over Heban Mountain and began dropping bombs.

Among them are nine high-heeled cup super bunker-buster bombs.

"boom....."

Even though he was several kilometers away, Cao Guofeng could feel the slight vibration coming from the ground, and the roar had already been transmitted over.

His face changed drastically when he heard these violent explosions.

"Is this their super bomb?"

Looking at the Heban Mountain Plateau engulfed in flames, Cao Guofeng asked with a very grim expression.

"Yes, it's this kind of bomb. It has great destructive power on fortifications. Even deep tunnels can be collapsed by it."

This is definitely not good news for him.

Heban Mountain was subjected to heavy artillery fire and bombing, but Zhu Jiayu's side seemed somewhat calm.

It is obvious that the Fuxing Army intends to concentrate its firepower to destroy the fortifications on the Heban Mountain Heights.

Therefore, Cao Guofeng also placed the focus of defense on Heban Mountain.

After the bombing, the 5th Motorized Infantry Division launched a fierce offensive towards Heban Mountain under the cover of tank units.

The fortifications at Heban Mountain were severely damaged, and many defensive loopholes appeared.

This also led to the Fuxing Army directly rushing to the first high ground of Heban Mountain, which was also named 309 Highland.

And successfully annihilated a battalion stationed here.

Successfully drove a nail into Heban Mountain.

This immediately made Cao Guofeng anxious.

The offensive of the Renaissance Army was so swift and fierce that he could hardly adapt.

He immediately ordered the 15th Division defending Heban Mountain to organize a counterattack and make sure to recapture Hill 309.

The 15th Division of the Northern Xinjiang Army organized several waves of fortifications on that day.

However, it is not so easy to capture the high ground defended by the 5th Motorized Infantry Division.

Their counterattacks were repelled by heavy artillery and air strikes.

There was no threat to Hill 309.

Next, the 16th Motorized Infantry Regiment of the 309th Motorized Infantry Division launched an attack on the surrounding heights with Hill as the core.

Fighting from day to night, the 16th Regiment also captured two heights in succession.

At this time, they had reached the front of the main position of Heban Mountain.

This plateau is also the highest peak in the Heban Mountains, with a height of 627 meters, so it is also called 627 Plateau.

At this time, the war had only been going on for two days.

Once the main position was lost, the Zhangqiu defense line was breached.

Fortunately, Hill 627 and Zhu Jiayu, several kilometers away, were able to provide artillery support.

It is not so easy to take Hill 627.

"This Anding Army is much weaker than the Anwu Army."

The battle went very smoothly in the past two days, which surprised Luo Qing a little.

He originally thought that the Northern Frontier Army's troops were as difficult to defeat as the 22nd Division.

It turned out that it was just Qiao Qingyuan's 22nd Division that was difficult to defeat.

The Anding Army, as a direct line of troops, looks just like this.

If it weren't for making dumplings, he would have been able to break through this line of defense in five days.

“Keep up the pressure and make Hill 627 their meat grinder.

Let the frontline troops take note: this attack on Hill 627 is just a feint, not a full-scale assault."

The Anding Army was somewhat weak, and he was worried that the frontline troops would get carried away and directly take down Hill 627.

(The battle in Quancheng will speed up, so I won’t write about the details of the battle in detail. By the way, I’m asking for rewards from my godfathers.)
