.Thirty days night is definitely the most difficult night Krusa spent in India's Prime Minister's Office.

The meeting lasted until four in the morning of the 31st. Krusha persuaded several generals to officially announce a unilateral ceasefire on the morning of the 31st, and then invited major powers such as the United States, Britain, France, Russia, Canada, Australia, and Germany to mediate.

Subsequently, Krusha personally drafted a ceasefire statement.

As a politician, Krusha must pay attention to the wording. It cannot be that China dispatches air forces to force India to cease fire. It is that after India has achieved its established goal, it decided to unilaterally cease fire in order to maintain peace and stability in South Asia and avoid the expansion of the scale of war.

How to say things well is crucial.

It was not until six o'clock that Krusha completed this significant ceasefire statement and handed it over to the secretary to polish it. He took this opportunity to have breakfast.

At half past six, Krusha and Toshio Nakajima spoke hotline and told the Japanese Prime Minister in advance about the ceasefire.

In Krusha's view, there is no harm in respecting Toshio Nakajima.

After the war, India still had to rely on Japan's aid, especially economic and technical assistance, to quickly emerge from the shadow of defeat. Because of its break with China, in the long run, Japan's importance has not only not decreased, but has increased significantly.

For a long time to come, Japan is a natural ally of India.

Krusha believes that Toshio Nakajima has the same understanding.

In the face of the rapidly rising China, if India and Japan form their own battles, the result will be very tragic. Only by fighting together can China be curbed.

That's true, Krusha believed that Toshio Nakajima would definitely pass the news to Macmillan.

His idea was very simple. He would first let Toshio Nakajima communicate with Macmillan, and then call Macmillan. It would be natural for the United States to mediate.

After seven o'clock, the secretary sent a polished armistice statement.

After browsing it quickly and modifying a few words, Crusha began to consider calling Macmillan.

Because India is not an ally of the United States, how to issue an invitation is very critical. If you ask the United States, it will only reduce India's identity and affect India's diplomatic activities. If you do not ask the United States, you may not be able to come forward.

Krusha was a little hesitant because he hadn't figured out how to explain to Macmillan.

At this moment, the phone directly connected to the Ministry of Defense rang.

Krusha was a little surprised because the calls from this line were not a good thing. As he picked up the microphone, he looked at the wall clock on the wall.

It's still twenty-four seconds away from 7:15.

It's indeed not good news, but it's huge bad news.

Five minutes ago, more than 20 strategic nuclear facilities in India were bombed, including two ammunition depots that store nuclear warheads, located in the nuclear raw materials factory and nuclear weapons development center in Hyderabad, the missile production plant and missile development center in Bangalore, two heavy water reactors in Vijayawada, and the eight "Fire 4" ballistic missile troops stationed. The fixed nuclear facilities were almost completely destroyed, and eight missile troops were also severely damaged. Only a few missile launchers escaped by chance. The specific losses are still counted, and the results will definitely not be much better.

After putting down the phone, Krusha sat down on the sofa, but he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

China does have other plans and is eyeing India's nuclear power.

In this round of bombing operation, it is not the naval aviation force, but the long-range strategic strike force of the air force, especially the air force.

The main strike force is the forty-eight J-20d heavy fighter jets of the Air Force.

In terms of number, j-20b is the export model, j-20c is a two-seater fighter specially developed by the Air Force, and j-20d is a standard fighter bomber.

Long before the East China Sea War, the Air Force decided to develop a fighter bomber based on the J-20.

What made the Air Force make this decision was the US military. In addition, the progress of the H-X project, which was highly anticipated by the Air Force, has been delayed, and the H-6 series is too old to play a role in modern warfare. The Air Force urgently needs a medium-sized bomber with a bomb load of about ten tons.

Affected by this, j-20d is the most varied model in the j-20 series.

Strictly speaking, the j-20d is basically a newly developed fighter bomber. Compared with the j-20, the parts versatility is less than 30%. The fuselage is amplified by 20%, and the WS-20 engine with greater thrust is adopted. The front horizontal canard and vertical tail wing are abolished, and the wing area is increased by 42%. The fuselage bomb bay can carry two 2,500 kilogram bombs, or eight 1,000 kilogram bombs, with a total internal load of more than 8 tons, and can also carry twelve tons of ammunition at the wing hanging point. The maximum combat radius without air refueling is 2,500 kilometers. When carrying only five tons of ammunition, the combat radius is close to 3,000 kilometers.

Judging from various performances, the j-20d is far superior to the h-6 and is a veritable heavy fighter bomber.

According to the Air Force's plan, j-20d will gradually replace h-6 before h-x is put into service and become the Air Force's main long-range strike force.

By the time the war broke out, a total of fifty J-20D were in service, two of which belonged to the training force.

In fact, when designing, the Air Force mainly considered using the J-20d for combat against Japan, that is, an important strategic goal of bombing Japan's mainland.

Affected by this, j-20d emphasizes stealth ability more.

It can also be seen from the changes in the aerodynamic appearance that in addition to increasing the internal ammunition and oil load, all the shape changes of the j-20d are to enhance stealth ability. The negative impact is also very prominent, that is, the j-20d basically does not have air combat capabilities. Not to mention that compared with the fourth-generation fighter with advanced performance, even many improved third-generation fighter jets are not as good as those of the improved third-generation fighter jets. If you encounter enemy fighters in combat, the "most effective" method of confrontation is to escape at a higher flight speed.

Because the WS-20 engine with greater thrust is used, the cruising flight speed of the j-20d exceeds Mach 1.6 when the afterburner is not activated, and the maximum flight speed at light load can reach Mach 2.5, exceeding the maximum flight speed of most fourth-generation fighters.

As a fighter, the j-20d is definitely not qualified, but as a bomber, it is excellent enough.

During this bombing, j-20d undertakes the most important strike mission, including bombing the nuclear raw material production plant and nuclear weapons development center near Hyderabad.

In order to avoid exposing combat intentions, all J-20d took off from the air base in central China, performed the first aerial refueling over western Sichuan, and then rushed more than 3,000 kilometers. When returning, the second aerial refueling was carried out in eastern Tibet, and then returned to the air base in central China.

The entire operation will last for more than six hours.

Because the number of j-20d is very limited and the targets are very critical, and the destruction must be ensured, additional strike forces must be arranged. For example, when bombing the nuclear raw material production plant in Haidebala, a total of twelve j-20ds were used, entering in three waves, with a interval of five minutes, ensuring that the twenty-four bombs dropped can penetrate the surface soil layer up to 12 meters thick and destroy all underground facilities. Therefore, forty-eight j-20ds are not enough, and some secondary targets, such as ballistic missile forces, can only be responsible for the navy.

The navy dispatched the j-25 of the carrier-based aviation force.

Although the j-25 is not as good as the j-20d in terms of ammunition capacity, range, penetration speed, etc., for example, when not carrying air-to-air ammunition, the j-25 can carry at most a 2,000 kilogram bomb or two 1,000 kilogram bomb in the internal bomb bay. In addition, in terms of stealth ability, the j-25 is not as good as the j-20d, and does not have all-round stealth ability. The RCS area of ​​the second half is two levels higher than the first half. However, in front of the Indian air defense system, the j-25 is still at ease, and has sufficient self-defense capabilities. The low-altitude penetration performance is also more prominent, and it is more suitable for attacking time-sensitive tactical targets, especially ballistic missile troops and ballistic missile launchers.

To this end, the fleet dispatched 72 J-25s to carry out bombing missions.

In order to increase the success rate of the attack aircraft group's penetration, the fleet also dispatched twenty j-25s to seize air supremacy with the cooperation of two zy-1s. The ten j-25s specifically carried out air defense suppression tasks to deal with air defense forces on the assault route of the attack aircraft group and open the assault channel.

Relatively speaking, the combat difficulty of the j-25 aircraft fleet is more difficult.

When the attack began, the fleet had not reached the estuary of the Ganges River. Therefore, after bombing the missile forces in northeastern India, some j-25s did not return to the fleet, but flew to Tibet's air base, replenished fuel before returning to the fleet, or directly carried out the second round of bombing mission.

In order to reduce the combat burden of the fleet, the Air Force also dispatched twenty-four J-20s to specifically escort the J-25.

Of course, this is not all.

At that time, the most difficult bombing mission was to strike missile factories and missile development centers near Bangalore, because both targets were beyond the combat radius of j-20d and were extremely tightly protected. The latter was also set underground and special ground-based bombs must be used, and the j-25 could not carry such bombs.

To this end, the Air Force used two H-20s.

Strictly speaking, it is two H-x prototypes, and the number of h-20 will not be used until it is officially put into service.

These two H-X prototypes started test flights at the beginning of the year, completed weapon system testing at the end of June, and then carried out bomb drop tests. Even if everything went well, it would take until the end of 2029 to complete all test flights. It would be great to be delivered in 2030.

After the war broke out, the Air Force decided to conduct actual combat tests and put the two bombers on j-20d stealth paint.

As for other preparations, they will be completed before July 25, and most of the on-board equipment comes from J-20D, such as navigation systems, bombing instruments, etc.

Compared with j-20d, the biggest advantage of h-x is its bomb load and range.

Even for the prototype aircraft, the two bombers can strike targets 4,500 kilometers away when they load 16 tons of bombs. If they are refueled in the air, the bomb load can be increased to 24 tons and the combat radius will be extended to more than 7,000 kilometers, basically meeting the standards of strategic bombers.
