Chapter 37: The First Ground Battle

"Newgate Air Force Base, this is the fighter squad directly under the Chabro headquarters, I am Blood Raven One, identification code SF0360010189, I was ordered to lead the Blood Raven team under my command to come to support and request landing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Flying in the sky with a fighter plane, followed by several fighters of the same type and with the same livery as him, Zhao Junyu contacted the air base that was about to arrive.

"This is Newgate Air Force Base, the identification code has been confirmed, and the Blood Raven Squad should follow the guiding lights and land on Runway 4 in turn. A fairly nice female voice sounded in the communicator, instructing Zhao Junyu and the others.

"Understood. Zhao Junyu then said to the rest of the team: "Runway No. 4, according to the guiding lights, I will come first, and you will land in turn." Then he piloted the fighter plane and began to land.

Newgate Air Base, which is currently the closest and relatively safe air base to the front line of the Jean Army. Since the commander-in-chief, General Rebier, agreed to send reinforcements from the headquarters and Zhao Junyu also promised to go to the front line, this base has received several fighter and bomber teams from Chabro, and even the special apron for large transport aircraft Steel Pelly and Midia has been busy, receiving additional Type 61 tanks and other armaments.

However, even so, the entire base was not filled, and in order to build a defensive line, I don't know how many vehicles were transported to the front line every day, and in order to slow down the enemy's advance, I don't know how many tanks were lost in each battle, and even if the air force had the advantage, when supporting the front-line battle, it would still be shot down by the enemy.

On the runway, the fighter plane, which had stopped and turned off its engine, was being towed into the hangar by a tractor. When the fighter plane was completely stopped, the ground crew came over and started to get busy, and Zhao Junyu had already gotten off the fighter, and a person came over in front of him, holding a key in his hand and handing it to Zhao Junyu and said: "Comrade Captain, the rooms for you and your subordinates have been arranged, and this is the key and number of your room." Tomorrow morning at 0700 o'clock in the conference room to convene a combat meeting of your squad and other troops, please attend on time. ā€

"I know, it's hard work~~" said as he took the key. After explaining a few words to his subordinates, Zhao Junyu took his luggage and took Harrow to his room, took a shower and went to sleep directly. In fact, according to his character, he doesn't like to lead the team, "one general is incompetent to kill the three armies", although Zhao Junyu can't be regarded as an incompetent person, but once he leads the team, the responsibility is different, plus now the gap between the enemy and us is very large, he is even less confident that he can bring them back alive. But his military rank went up, and according to the people above, he had to have a position that matched his military rank, so he led a team.

However, now that Zhao Junyu and the others have come to the front line, he doesn't want to think about anything now, he just wants to sleep well and have enough spirit to fight tomorrow, as for the team that has just been assigned to him, he can only keep them as much as possible~~, after all, it is a battlefield, and even the captain comrade who has been touted by the government cannot guarantee that he will be able to come back.

Early the next morning, after Zhao Junyu washed up and ate breakfast, he took the rest of the team to the conference room, and only after arriving did he know that when they came here yesterday, the fourth line of defense set up by the federal army had been breached, and according to Jean's advancing speed, even if they stopped at night to rest, they should have reached the fifth line of defense at 1000 o'clock this morning. Their fighters and bombers were tasked with supporting the Federal Army on the defensive line.

"The enemy's speed is really fast~~" Zhao Junyu thought secretly in his heart when he listened to the task. When he led the troops over, the enemy had just broken through the third line of defense, but when it took a day to get here, the enemy had already broken through the fourth line of defense, and sure enough, the current defense line of the Federation could not even resist the enemy's attack for a day~~.

After listening to the task arrangement, Zhao Junyu and the other pilots came to the locker room and began to change into the pilot's flight suit. When Zhao Junyu was changing his clothes, a young voice next to him said with some embarrassment: "Those guys in the army are really too incompetent~~ The enemy's attack can't withstand even a day, and the fighter troops from our headquarters have come to support them, it's just a waste~~ You say yes~~Captain~~"

Zhao Junyu also looked at the person who spoke, this person was a member of his team, his name was Thomson, he looked more delicate, but his personality was a little exaggerated, he was a playboy, he liked to go to nightclubs to find a girl to snap, and his ability was said to be okay, after all, Zhao Junyu took over for too short a time, and it was impossible to know too clearly. However, what he knew was that if this guy went to the battlefield with such an attitude of contempt for the enemy, it would not be long before he would become a corpse, so he said in a voice with a hint of contempt and indifference: "Thompson, if you still use this attitude to go to the battlefield, I can be sure that it will not take too long for you and your fighter plane to become a wreck, and stay there forever." ā€

"Captain~~No need to say that~~ We are an elite fighter group under the headquarters, not those useless army iron turtles~~ I only know how to retreat all day, and the defense line can't hold even a day~~" Thompson said dissatisfied.

"It's true that the army can't hold the line for even a day, and I despise it too, but do you think this is completely incompetent?" Zhao Junyu said calmly.

"Isn't it?" said Thompson, confused.

"I can't confirm whether the army is really very incompetent, but now Jean's strength is beyond doubt, if the enemy is really that weak, we won't be beaten like that in Rum~~ Do you also think that the cosmic military is incompetent?" Zhao Junyu's pilot was already dressed, and he said in a very calm voice while doing the final tidying.

"Eh~~~" Thompson was speechless for a moment, he knew that his captain was from the Space Army, and he didn't think that the Space Army was all incompetent, at least it was impossible for an incompetent person to be the commander-in-chief of the Federation Army. Commander-in-Chief Rebier's Second Fleet was a rare elite at the time, no, it should have been a rare elite even now, but it was still basically strangled by Jean. He whispered: "I'm sorry captain, I was wrong~~"

"There's nothing wrong with being confident, but overconfidence turns into pride, and that makes you lose sight of what's going on. Zhao Junyu, who had finished tidying up, picked up the helmet, looked at Thompson and said: "Don't imagine yourself to be as strong, don't imagine the enemy to be so weak, you must be careful everywhere on the battlefield, so as to survive to the greatest extent, of course, this is only to survive to the maximum, after all, this is the battlefield, and the battlefield is not something you and I can control." ā€

The topic was a little heavy, and the soldiers next to him all stopped their movements. Zhao Junyu also felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, but the goal of letting Thompson and the others not have to be too proud was achieved, so he patted Thompson's shoulder, smiled and said: "Okay, you don't want this expression, you just have to remember that when you go to the battlefield, don't be overconfident, don't underestimate the enemy, do your best, deal with it carefully, and believe that you can come back safely, that's enough." ā€

Knowing that the purpose of his captain is not to be too proud, Thompson also smiled and said with a firm face: "I know, captain, I will not be so arrogant as to underestimate the opponent, and I will definitely come back safely." ā€

"Very good~~ With this belief, you can live longer~~~" Zhao Junyu smiled and patted Thompson's shoulder more heavily, then looked at the pilot next to him and said: "Remember, go to the battlefield and throw away all other messy thoughts, as long as you remember two points, destroy the enemy and keep yourself, the rest is fake, if you want to live a good life and continue to see the person you want to meet, you have to do these two things, you know?!"

"Got it~~Sir~~" said the people around him.

"Okay~~~ Take off~~~Eagles~~~" Zhao Junyu put on his helmet and shouted loudly, and at the same time was the first to take the lead and go out.

And the other people around also responded loudly, and followed Zhao Junyu out to boost their morale.

One after another, planes took off from the Newgate base and began to support the fighting on the front lines. Of course, the most conspicuous of the fighters that took off from the base were the fighters of the Blood Raven Squad. Although the Swordfish fighters can also be used in the atmosphere, there are always few of them, and their livery is too different. The black background color and its unique marking, a black crow, the oozing red eyes and the blood that falls low at the corner of the crow's mouth, let people know that it is not an ordinary crow when they see this crow, of course, the most special thing is Zhao Junyu's captain's Peugeot, which is a frontal crow with blood-red eyes, it can't see blood at the corners of its mouth, but the spread of its wings and the sickle on its feet that represents death mean that it is an underworld crow that brings death.

Coming to the sky of the front line, Zhao Junyu knew that the situation on the front line was extremely bad, although the huge steel giant with a height of more than ten meters had not yet stepped on the defense line built by the Federation, but the distance was not far away, and the Type 61 of many shooting points had been knocked out, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the fall of this defense line was only a matter of time.

"Damn~~~ Is it not going to work so soon~~ Is it really that the enemy is too strong, or is the incompetence of the army guys to a certain extent~~ If it goes on like this, don't talk about Daddy's counterattack plan, it's a question of whether the Federation can support it for a year~~~No matter what~~~ Let's talk about it after fighting~~!" After complaining, Zhao Junyu turned on the communicator and contacted his subordinates and said: "Blood Raven No. 1 calls all machines, you have agreed before, two people in a group, attack the enemy, Support the ground forces, remember ~~ don't die ~~"

"Yes~~~," everyone responded.

In this way, Zhao Junyu's first battle on Earth began.
