The task of the Air Force is very difficult, and Yuqing and Xueqin feel pressure, and it can be said that the success or failure of this war lies with them.

Yuan Fang is also very helpless, if there is another month, the military factory and plum blossom merchants go all out, almost can make two hundred fighters and a huge number of artillery, if there are two hundred fighters, Yuan Fang will have enough confidence and confidence to defeat the opponent's air force in one fell swoop, but now, the main battlefield of the air force is less than a hundred, and the enemy has almost a thousand airships, how to fight this battle, Yuan Fang has a little headache, whether to hit the firepower in one blow or break into zero and fight steadily, for a while Yuan Fang is difficult to choose. The two plans, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, hit all the fighters to enter the main battlefield with an absolute advantage, and the result does not need to be thought about to know, the powerful Yuan Fang, who has seen the fighters with his own eyes, is confident that the opponent's air force will be defeated or even annihilated in one go, but in this way, the other battlefields will have to use weak forces to confront the enemy's huge number of air forces, and the casualties will inevitably be very large, and it is even possible to expose the army to the opponent's incendiary bombs, in that case, the army's casualties will be greater.

However, if stability is pursued, the dispatch of 70 fighters to various battlefields, without concentrating strong firepower, will not be able to bring too much threat and damage to the fighter group of the squadron, and the progress of the entire counterattack will be slowed down indefinitely, and at that time, morale, logistical pressure, and the replenishment of pilots will face a huge test.

Tracing back to the source, there is still not enough time, but Yuan Fang can no longer wait, if he waits until the Wanliu Empire-based coalition army is deployed to attack first, the Dongsheng Empire will be very passive, and some defense lines and battlefields are likely to be unable to withstand the pressure and retreat, if the enemy army is allowed to enter the Dongsheng Empire's Forte and let the war rage on Dongzhou and even Dongping County again, how many people will be affected, and how many cities will be destroyed, that is not the result that the Dongsheng Empire wants to see.

In the end, Xueqin proposed a compromise solution, dividing but not dispersing, the so-called division, that is, to disperse the existing small boats and airships, transfer to the southeast and northwest defense lines, enrich the local air force, and at the same time, send two fighter squads to support and serve as the main force of defense, so as to drag down the opponent's air force and make it impossible for them to bomb their ground forces.

As for the main battlefield, Xueqin only left a combat squadron composed of fifty fighters, first defeated the local air force in the main battlefield, and then drove straight into the destruction of the opponent's frontline air base, and then turned around to support the other two battlefields, so as to reduce the risk of the army, but the air force will be a hard battle.

According to Yuqing's understanding and inference, there are at least two hundred airships at the front of the main battlefield, and there is an air base more than twenty miles behind them, where there are at least three hundred airships on standby, that is to say, once the war starts, Xueqin's fifty fighters will have to face an enemy ten times their size, which makes Yuqing a little worried.

Moreover, the number of boats and airships on his side is limited, and if it is implemented according to this plan, there will be no reserves and sufficient defense forces, which seems a bit risky, but everyone discussed all night and did not think of a better way, and finally Yuan Fang decided to give it a go, and decided to implement this plan. At dawn, Yuqing dragged his tired body back to the tent to rest, the air force's airships and boats took off and landed at the airport as always, but if you look closely, you will find that today's airships take off and land more frequently, and many airships that were hidden in the warehouse were pushed out, equipped with crossbow arrows and lifted away, the main battlefield, a combat squadron composed of fifty small boats came to the border as always, and the opponent's airships started to fight, after two hours of fighting, leaving the wreckage of more than a dozen small boats back, However, this time, instead of returning to the base as before, they turned around and flew to the northwest border after getting out of the other party's field of vision.

Compared with the frequent movements of the Air Force, the Army is very leisurely, the veterans are still hiding in the camp to fart and chat, and the recruits have started a day of hard training after breakfast. Guan Xiaoyun, since he came to the front line of Dongzhou, has been living a regular life of training, eating, eating and training, at the beginning, he thought that Lei Hua would take care of himself a little, but what he didn't expect was that Lei Hua turned his face and didn't recognize people, and if he didn't take care of him, he was transferred to the forward battalion with the hardest training intensity. Guan Xiaoyun was extremely unhappy at the beginning, complaining again and again every day, but after a long time, listening to those veterans tell about the battles in the past, Guan Xiaoyun understood Lei Hua's good intentions, and he kept that sentence in his heart, sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime.

Physical fitness, one is the army's law of survival, with a strong physique and agile reaction, the greater the chance of survival on the battlefield, usually training lazy, that is not fooling officers, but fooling themselves, is joking with their own lives. Guan Xiaoyun's personnel are quite good, in addition to the fact that he is a talker and likes to chat with people, his identity is also one of the reasons why everyone is willing to approach him.

When Guan Xiaoyun first arrived, he planned to keep a low profile, just as if he was an ordinary soldier, but Lei Hua directly threw him a big burden, saying that he wanted him to wear it every day when he trained, and when Guan Xiaoyun appeared in front of everyone in a leather armor with excellent texture and gorgeous style that was valuable at a glance, as long as he was not stupid, he knew that this product definitely had a good background.

This is not the end, not long after the training began, Lei Hua came to Guan Xiaoyun again, his attitude was extremely kind, the two leaned on the tent and hung cigarettes and whispered, just like old friends, yes, Guan Xiaoyun had known Lei Hua for a long time, and the relationship between the two was quite good.

No one knew what the two of them were talking about, and in the end, Lei Hua retaliated and threw a vest-style metal cuirass to Guan Xiaoyun, and ordered him to wear it all the time.

Although it was only a vest, it was forged from all metal at that time, and it was very thick, not to mention twenty or thirty pounds, Guan Xiaoyun was trained every day after wearing this thing, and he couldn't wait to go back to the imperial capital immediately to find a few handsome guys to introduce to Yu Fengjiao, in revenge for Lei Hua's cruel torture to himself.

Guan Xiaoyun was assigned to the fifth squad of the forward battalion, which is a squad with great glory, because Yuan Fang and Yang Xing served in this squad back then, killing the enemy side by side with their comrades, but now they are not human, most of those people have died on the battlefield, and the few surviving people have now been promoted, of course, they will no longer be an ordinary soldier here, but this glory has always belonged to this team.
