Chapter 858 My advantage?
The sky was shrouded in the shadow of war. China's three fighter formations - Blue Sky, Changfeng and Baiyu, like three silver dragons, were fiercely engaged in a fierce battle with Fuso's huge fleet in the vast sky.
Although the Chinese pilots' flying skills have reached perfection and every maneuver is extremely precise, they still seem powerless when facing an enemy with an absolute numerical advantage, and the situation on the battlefield gradually tilts in Fuso's favor.
"Blue Sky Formation, pay attention to keeping the formation tight. Use our mobility to conduct roundabout operations and don't engage the enemy head-on!" The captain of the Blue Sky Formation issued an order through the walkie-talkie, trying to find a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation.
The Changfeng formation adopted a more flexible tactic. They used the clouds as cover, sometimes raiding, sometimes retreating, constantly harassing the enemy formation and trying to disrupt its deployment. Zhao Lei, the deputy captain of the Changfeng formation, shouted in the channel: "Brothers, we are the wind, the shadow that cannot be caught! Let the enemy have a taste of our Changfeng power!"
However, the commander of the Fuso Air Force, Tsukagawa Yoshiyasu, did not relax his vigilance: "Morning Light Formation, continue to implement the 'Shadow Escape' tactic, find the enemy's weaknesses, and deliver a fatal blow!" At the same time, he did not forget to issue orders to the Supersonic Formation and the Storm Bird Formation: "Supersonic Formation, advance at full speed and use the speed advantage to break through the enemy's defense line; Storm Bird Formation, strengthen firepower coverage and open an offensive channel for the entire army!"
On the battlefield, the fighters of the supersonic formation were like silver lightning, cutting through the sky. They passed through the enemy formation at an astonishing speed, leaving behind a string of exploding sparks. The Stormbird formation, with its powerful firepower, continuously poured artillery fire on the Chinese formation. Dazzling flames bloomed in the sky from time to time, pushing the tragic degree of the battlefield to a climax.
Faced with such a powerful enemy, the Chinese pilots did not retreat. With their tenacious will and superb skills, they looked for opportunities to fight back in adversity.
The Baiyu formation took advantage of its long-range missiles to launch long-range strikes on the enemy formation. Although the hit rate was not high, it successfully diverted the attention of some enemy aircraft.
"White Feather Formation, adjust the attack angle and try to concentrate firepower to attack the enemy command formation!" The captain of the White Feather Formation made a bold tactical suggestion at the critical moment. He knew that only by destroying the enemy's command system could the situation be reversed.
However, Tsukawa Yoshiyasu seemed to realize this as well. He quickly adjusted the tactical deployment and strengthened the protection of the command formation. "Attention, all formations, strengthen defense and ensure the safety of the command system!"
The battle continued, and every second in the sky was full of variables. Although the Chinese pilots were at a disadvantage, they still stubbornly resisted the enemy's attack with their indomitable spirit and superb skills. The Fuso Air Force, with its numerical advantage and advanced equipment, continued to put pressure on the Chinese formation.
"Brave warriors of the Empire's air force, work harder! The number of fighter planes in our six formations is almost three times that of theirs. We have the advantage. Once we gain air superiority, we will immediately attack the enemy's ground landing forces and prevent them from landing. Bomber formations, be ready to enter the battlefield at any time!"
Tsukagawa Yoshiyasu has already seen the dawn of victory, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. As long as they gain air superiority, they will pose a serious threat to China's landing troops.
On the command ship where Liu Chengxu was, the arrival of a telegram shocked everyone. The telegram came from the headquarters of the 3rd Air Division. They said that four fighter formations, namely Falcon, Sharp Eagle, Grey Goose and Floating Light, had taken off from the Nagato Port military airport and were expected to rush to the battlefield within 20 minutes.
Liu Chengxu quickly picked up the communicator, and his steady and powerful voice spread throughout the battlefield through radio waves.
"Attention all units, this is the headquarters, Commander Liu Chengxu." His voice echoed in the silent command room and was clearly heard by every pilot. "I order the three formations of Blue Sky, Changfeng, and Baiyu to continue to engage the enemy in their current formations. You must remain highly vigilant, put pressure on the enemy, and ensure your own safety. Remember, every bit of our persistence is the greatest contribution to victory."
After a brief pause, he added a bit of inspiring power to his words: "I have good news for everyone. Our reinforcements are coming at full speed. Their joining will completely change the balance of the battlefield. Before that, all we need to do is to hold our ground and wait for the best time to counterattack."
Then, Liu Chengxu turned to the combat staff beside him and quickly issued a series of detailed tactical orders: "Immediately send instructions to the Blue Sky Formation, asking them to use the cloud cover to try to implement a variation of the 'Eagle Strike the Sky' tactic, attacking the enemy's supersonic formation from the flank and dispersing its firepower. At the same time, tell the Changfeng Formation that their mission is to continue to implement harassment tactics, but be careful to avoid direct conflict with the enemy and preserve their strength to prepare for the subsequent decisive battle. As for the White Feather Formation, they need to use their long-range strike capabilities more flexibly and look for opportunities to carry out precise strikes on the enemy's command formation."
The operations staff quickly recorded these instructions and immediately conveyed them to each formation through the communication system. Soon, pilots from each formation responded one after another, indicating that they had received the orders and were ready to execute them.
"Very good, all formations continue to maintain open communications and report changes in the battle situation at any time." Liu Chengxu emphasized at last.
At the end of the sky, a dazzling morning light was broken by the rapidly approaching roar. Four Chinese fighter jet formations were like sharp swords in the sky, cutting through the sky and rushing towards the designated battlefield with unstoppable momentum.
"Report to the commander, the Grey Goose fighter formation has entered the final sprint stage and is expected to arrive at the designated battlefield on time in two minutes!" The steady voice of the Grey Goose formation captain came from the communicator. Their arrival injected a new force into the battlefield.
The Grey Goose formation is known for its excellent long-range interception capability and high maneuverability. Their joining will undoubtedly greatly enhance the Chinese Air Force's defense system.
Soon after, the Falcon Fighter Squadron also received good news. "Report to the Commander, the Falcon Fighter Squadron has also entered the final stage and will engage the enemy head-on in two minutes!"
At the same time, the Sharp Eagle and Streamer formations were not willing to lag behind. They were following closely and approaching the battlefield at the fastest speed.
"Okay! Those damn Japs are trying to overwhelm us with their numerical superiority before we land. Now is the time to fight back!"
"Let the Japanese air force see what a true sword in the sky is!"
