Carpet Bombing (Generals)

Carpet Bombing was a technique used by Chinese generals in their war against the GLA, and was available once a general had been promoted to a certain rank. The volley of standard dumb bombs was delivered by a large jet aircraft, most probably an old American B-52, over an area chosen by the general in question. The attack was most effective against concentrated units or buildings, spreading heavy damage over a wide area. The aircraft was quite heavily armoured, but could still be downed by heavy anti-aircraft fire, and so targets had to be picked with due care.

General Tsing Shi Tao's carpet bombers uniquely dropped small nuclear bombs that, in addition to causing massive destruction, irradiated the area for some time.

Non-Chinese Usage
In the earlier stages of the GLA conflict, US Air Force commanders allowed Chinese generals to direct carpet bombing runs by B-52s over a GLA-occupied city. Although the Chinese placed the attacks, Americans undertook them.
