Daming 1805

In the Palace of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, the monarchs and staff of Germany, Lucia, and Italy looked at an important document together.

That was the telegram printout of the official declaration of war sent by the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty.

The German monarch William asked his surroundings obviously very surprised:

"Haven't we already started negotiating with Ming? Why did Ming directly declare war?"

Prime Minister Stein also had obvious disbelief on his face:

"There was no relevant response from Daming Honglu Temple, and they did not give any feedback on our conditions at all.

"There is no response even from the League of Nations channels. Our representatives in the League of Nations can no longer see representatives of Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Nicholas of Lucia frowned and said:
"Did Ming see through our idea of ​​delaying time? So he doesn't want to continue meaningless negotiations and communication with us?"

King Vittorio of Italy said with some annoyance and fear:

"Obviously, Ming thought we were not sincere, we did not stop attacking Britain, and we proposed very exaggerated conditions.

"More than a decade ago, Ming Dynasty often did not respond to its opponents' negotiation requests. They would directly eliminate their opponents completely."

The King of Italy said this, but Emperor Lucia showed a rather sinister smile:

"We are no longer what we were more than ten years ago. I would like to see if Ming has the ability to wipe us all out!"

King William of Germany even said directly:

"The matter is now over. There is nothing more to discuss. Let's start the Great Eastern Operation directly."

Emperor Lucia and the staff also nodded.

The German king produced a document and asked the Emperor Lucia and the King of Italy to sign it.

Officially launched the action plan to attack the Ming Dynasty.

The monarchs of the three countries also immediately left for Constantinople, and the focus of the war had shifted from Western Europe to Eastern Europe.

According to the so-called Great Eastern Operation formulated by the staff of the three countries, the first large-scale goal is to seize the Dashi Peninsula and the east coast of the Great Qin Sea.

Seize the largest oil field in the world today, and at the same time cut off the connection between the mainland of Ming Dynasty and Mozhou and the Great Qin Sea.

However, Daming's response was actually faster.

At the same time that the Ming court issued the announcement, Zhu Jingyuan also issued an imperial edict to the frontline troops.

The attack starts immediately when the announcement is made, without giving the opponent any time to understand or breathe.

The commander-in-chief of the campaign, Yang Yuchun, also understood Zhu Jingyuan's will very well.

Arrangements had been made in advance, and when the order arrived, the order was given directly, and the first round of all-out attack was immediately launched.

Zhu Jingyuan was prepared to use new elemental weapons, but he was not prepared to use them casually without restrictions.

It is best that the land captured by the Ming army can continue to be used normally, rather than turned into wasteland and no man's land.

So the battle still starts with a regular battle.

Only when we encounter fortresses and positions that are difficult to break, or troops that require huge casualties to destroy, will we use new elemental weapons to forcibly destroy them.

In an air force camp on the coast of the Caspian Sea, electric speakers blasted surging war drums.

Groups of soldiers, carrying their personal equipment, quickly ran out of the barracks and rushed to the airport where the fighter jets were parked.

Among these soldiers were a group that were obviously much younger.

They are students who have just graduated from aviation school. The oldest is only 22, and the youngest is probably just over [-] years old.

The person running at the front was Wu Xiongying from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, and the son of Wu Zhiyuan, the president of the Songjiang Civil Aviation Association.

Wu Zhiyuan did not catch up with the battle, but he got various flying competition medals.

Wu Xiongying himself can be regarded as having a family background. He has often flown with his father on airplanes since he can remember, and he often flew by himself when he was in his early teens.

At the same time, he has been influenced by his father's political ideas since he was a child, and he hopes to participate in the Ming Dynasty's great cause of unifying the world.

I happened to go to college in the first year of my reign and was directly admitted to the Daming Aviation School directly under the central government.

Wu Xiongying was originally only able to graduate at the end of this year, but in the past two years, Ming Dynasty has expanded its military on a large scale, and the demand for pilots has increased significantly.

The flight academy students who will graduate this year will be sent directly to the military.

Of course, not all students have the opportunity to go directly to the front lines to fly the latest aircraft.

Most students have to continue studying after arriving in the army.

Only students with the most outstanding abilities and a very clean background have the opportunity to learn to fly jet fighters directly in school.

Only when you arrive at the military camp can you directly use it as a regular pilot.

Even these most outstanding students have the opportunity to fly the most cutting-edge aircraft.

Wu Xiongying and his son are very proud and excited about this arrangement and the current situation.

I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to join the war right away, and that I might even miss the battle, but the opportunity just hit my head.

Wu Xiongying's aircraft is currently the most cutting-edge and most powerful fighter, a Type 22 twin-engine jet fighter.

The maximum speed has exceeded the speed of sound, reaching [-] kilometers per hour.

Of course, top speed can only be achieved through afterburning, and it cannot last long.

The practical ceiling has also reached 8000 meters, the maximum range exceeds [-] kilometers, and the combat radius is [-] kilometers.

It is equipped with two [-]mm cannons and eight rockets by default. If there is a need for ground combat, two more [-]kg guided bombs can be installed.

Wu Xiongying quickly climbed into the cockpit and quickly checked and confirmed all the equipment.

Then, following the ground crew instructions, he followed his teammates into the runway one after another and took off one after another at the most intensive speed.

The fighter jets were followed by twin-engine attack jets, and then large jet transports carrying a large number of Army troops and equipment.

Shortly after the plane left the airport, Wu Xiongying met people from the Army.

Thousands of various armored vehicles formed an endless torrent of steel, constantly pouring toward the west.

After the plane passed the armored aircraft group, it soon saw another group of Army people, helicopters densely packed like a swarm of flies.

When the Ottomans were still there, the borders between Lucia and the Ming Dynasty were mainly the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus Mountains.

At the same time, the Ural Mountains and the [-] kilometers on both sides of the Ural River are the demilitarized zones mutually agreed upon by both parties.

Until the outbreak of the war, neither side formally stationed troops in this area.

But there are plenty of civilian facilities on both sides.

In particular, the Volga-Urals Oilfield and Free Trade Zone are an industrial city cluster deep in the continent.

Therefore, in the first stage of the war, the natural goal of both sides is to immediately control the civilian facilities in their own demilitarized zone.

The garrison is controlled and used as a military facility to seize the enemy's demilitarized zone.

The Volga-Urals oil field itself is also a natural target of competition.

The primary goal of the Ming Dynasty's troops near the oil fields was to seize the entire Volga-Urals Oil Field.

For a jet aircraft, the distance of [-] kilometers is only a matter of ten minutes.

Wu Xiongying's fleet quickly arrived at the largest civilian airport in the demilitarized zone.

Large transport planes following the fighter jets landed in these places one after another, turning civilian airports into de facto military airports.

The fighter group will continue to move forward, and they are going to resist the Lucia Air Force planes that will definitely come over.

The fleet soon arrived near the border between Daming and Lucia.

Wu Zhiyuan looked at Wishong from the cockpit. There was no trace of the plane in the sky across the border.

At this time, the two sides have officially declared war. Of course, the soldiers will no longer care about the national border, and Ming's planes will not stop at places like the national border.

Wu Xiongying piloted the plane and followed the fleet directly across the border and into Lucia.

After flying for nearly 10 minutes, Wu Zhiyuan spotted what looked like the shadows of other aircraft in the clouds below.

In Lucia, the oncoming propeller planes were obviously enemy planes.

Wu Zhiyuan turned on the radio almost subconsciously:
"Enemy plane found."

The pilot responsible for observation even confirmed the opponent's aircraft model through the telescope and reported it to the captain of the flying team:
"The total number of old-fashioned propeller aircraft from Germany and Lucia is estimated to be between fifty and sixty." Wu Zhiyuan's fleet only has a total of thirty aircraft. Just looking at the number is of course a disadvantage.

The commander of the fleet issued the order directly without hesitation:

"Everyone is here, prepare to fight, smash these broken fans with me!"

Then fighting broke out, or rather the massacre began.

Ming Dynasty's frontline troops have been fully equipped with jet fighters, and they are not experimental aircraft like the ME262 and Meteor.

At least they are mature first-generation aircraft such as the MiG-17 and F86. Now the elite troops who are the first to contact the enemy are flying supersonic fighters similar to the MiG-19.

Lucia and the Luftwaffe still used traditional piston propeller aircraft.

Even the performance of propeller aircraft is not the best, and the maximum engine power still does not exceed [-] horsepower.

Simply talking about the performance of the aircraft, it is an absolute crusher.

Ming's pilots may not have enough actual combat experience, but their training level may be higher.

With Zhu Jingyuan's continuous promotion for 19 years, Ming's official and private support and pursuit of aviation technology and equipment have always been very high.

Airplanes were a very popular entertainment and means of transportation for people in the Ming Dynasty.

Many pilots now may have flown hundreds or even thousands of hours in civilian aircraft before joining the military.

Of course, there is no shortage of parts and fuel in Ming's aviation school and air force school, and the training intensity is always full.

Young people like Wu Xiongying are full of all these states.

Wu Xiongying followed the team, locked the enemy's fleet, circled to the angle of the sun, and swooped down from the clouds.

The German and Lucia fighter groups have not discovered the Ming people yet.

Because the flying altitude of the Daming jet is higher than the maximum climb altitude of their propeller aircraft.

The team is still discussing when they will see the Ming Dynasty's plane.

Still looking forward to shooting down a few Daming aircraft.

However, when they saw the Ming Dynasty's aircraft, whips composed of thirty-millimeter decapitating shells had already fallen from the sky and hit the aircraft group heavily.

In an instant, more than a dozen of the sixty propeller planes turned into fireballs in the sky.

A burst of cheers erupted from Wu Xiongying's fleet:

"it is good!"

"Nice job!"

"It's almost a fixed target!"

"Finally I can fly a real plane with people on it!"

Lucia and the German fleet were filled with screams and wailing:

"It's the Ming Dynasty's plane!"

"They're hiding in the sun!"

"Counterattack immediately!"

"I got shot-"

"Get away! Damn it..."

"I was shot too—"

"Oh my God, what kind of plane is this!"

"Why no propeller!"

"Run—"

"Their speed is too fast, there's no way they can escape - ah -"

"Monsters, they are all monsters..."

Some of the German and Lucia pilots were lucky enough to escape the first round of surprise attacks, but were immediately surprised by the performance of Ming's aircraft.

In the pursuit attack after the dive, propeller planes were hit one after another, and soon they turned into fireworks.

A small number of the most elite German and Lucian pilots managed to avoid the tail bite of the Ming aircraft through maneuvers.

There were also some Ming pilots who failed to control their speed and accidentally rushed in front of the enemy aircraft.

Some of them subconsciously tried to circle back, but soon heard the commander's order on the radio:

"Listen to me, the first round of attacks is over, leave immediately.

"Don't fight with these electric fans, we're flying a turbojet now!

"Then leave the battlefield, pull up and do another dive!"

Wu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, then gave up the idea of ​​​​circling an enemy plane, and subconsciously said to himself:
"In other words, if you can snipe from a distance with a firearm, why go up and fight with the enemy hand-to-hand?"

Daming's fleet immediately followed the captain's words and immediately turned on afterburner and quickly left the battlefield.

The surviving elite pilots in the German and Lucia fleets had just barely figured out the situation on the battlefield and wanted to try their best to get around the Ming aircraft.

It turned out that Ming's propeller-less planes did not stop at all and quickly disappeared from sight at an unreal speed.

When the remaining ordinary pilots recovered from their panic and the fleet was organized again, Daming's aircraft had completely disappeared.

But all pilots knew that Daming's plane did not really disappear, but ran to high altitude to prepare for a second round of attacks.

And they knew this situation, but they didn't have any way to deal with it.

It's not that they don't want to chase, it's that they simply can't catch up.

The speed difference between the two sides is probably doubled, and the climbing ability is even more different.

When these propeller planes can fly to an altitude of [-] meters, they are very close to the limit of the aircraft.

For Ming Dynasty's jet aircraft, [-] meters is the normal flying altitude.

Propellers and jets have very different adaptations to air density.

As for escaping, it seemed to be pointless.

There was basically no suspense about what happened next. Wu Xiongying's fleet quickly launched a second attack.

This time, the more than 30 remaining aircraft of Deutschland and Lucia were completely wiped out.

Not all of them were shot down, but most of them were shot down.

A few pilots found that they could not resist the enemy's aircraft in any way, and their will to resist almost collapsed.

They gave up the fight, dived to lower their altitude, and then parachuted out to escape.

Of the thirty planes in Wu Xiongying's team, only a few suffered minor damage, and none of the planes were shot down.

A group of young people participating in actual combat for the first time looked at the cleared battlefield and the wreckage of enemy planes falling on the ground, and occasionally let out excited roars.

They were all very excited. They flew the most powerful aircraft and easily destroyed the organized enemies. It was a very successful and glorious first battle.

The commander asked everyone about the situation of ammunition and fuel, and decided to take the fleet back to the airport passing by to resupply.

There should already be military ground crews working there, and Wu Xiongying and the others do not need to return to the air force base where they originally set out.

Air battles similar to this form continue to occur on fronts spanning thousands of kilometers.

Lucia and the German air force received a complete blow for the first time in the four years since the war began.

They were stunned and didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

The air force fleets arranged by Lucia and Germany on the front line were successively wiped out by the organized collective of the Ming Air Force.

The Ming Air Force suffered almost no substantial losses and completely controlled the air superiority on the entire front.

Air superiority is crucial to the battlefield at this time and can determine the war situation to a certain extent.

The Ming Dynasty's army was able to advance rapidly with the help of armored infantry fighting vehicles and military personnel carriers under the cover of fighter jets and attack aircraft.

At marching speed...it can even be regarded as drag racing speed, they quickly took over and occupied the demilitarized zones on both sides of the border between Ming Dynasty and Lucia.
