Chapter 1209: Air-Ground Coordination
Slowly flying towards the air base, when Xueqin got the battle damage report, she couldn't help but sigh. In this battle, Xueqin fought beautifully enough, won more with less, and destroyed hundreds of enemies, but the losses were also not small, four fighters crashed, and more than ten fighters were damaged, which needed to be repaired as soon as possible.
Xueqin put away the battle damage report and instructed the herald: "Inform the commander of the Yuqing Corps that the enemy air force has been annihilated and can carry out bombing, and order the second squad to be responsible for guarding, and the others will escort the bomber formation." ”
The order was given, and the second squadron, which had remained intact in combat, came out of the crowd and dispersed to fly into the distance, while the other fighters slowed down again and waited for the bombing formation to arrive.
Yuqing has already given the order to move forward, but not all, but only ten airships, and the rest are hidden in the sky with the flagship, the scene of the fighter explosion just now is still vivid, Yuqing's heart is still afraid, and he doesn't dare to shoot too many bombers, and at the same time he made up his mind that he must not take such a risk in the future to equip so many bombs at one time.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Yuqing, Yuqing has never been in contact with these things before, and she still doesn't know the specific power of gunpowder, shells, and bombs, and she thinks that the more she carries like a crossbow arrow, the better, but she ignores her own risks.
The airship that was sent out to carry out the bombing mission flew to Wanliu Air Base with two fighters in high spirits, but after a while, they returned full of disappointment, because the air base had been occupied by their own army, and they just flew around the base.
When the fierce battle of the air force was in full swing, the Tiger Roar Legion led by Chang Xun had arrived near the air base, and it was lively in the sky at that time, and no one paid attention to Chang Xun's arrival.
More than ten miles away from the base, the sound of artillery in the sky continued, and the same flames rose on the ground below, and the heavy crossbow of the Wanliu Empire fell to the ground after falling into the air, and the fire oil canister above hit the ground and exploded, igniting the wild grass and wild vines on the ground, plus the fire oil stored in the airship that fell from time to time was ignited, fueling the fire, and the ground has become a scorched earth.
After looking at it for a while, the adjutant pointed in one direction and said, "General, our fighter plane crashed, but it didn't explode, do you want to send someone to rescue?" Chang Xun looked at several white parachutes falling from the sky, and immediately ordered to send a team of 100 people to the rescue.
At the same time, the troops were ordered to advance and attack the Wanliu airbase. Wanliu Air Base is heavily garrisoned in the southwest, west and northwest directions of twenty or thirty miles, and it is almost impossible for the Dongsheng Empire to kill it, so there are not many troops stationed in the base, Chang Xun's cavalry corps killed, first twenty artillery salvos, crashing down the opponent's wall, and then rushing up to kill the base, almost no resistance, the staff and ground staff of the base were all captured before they had time to escape, and some stubbornly resisted and did not surrender, without exception, they were collapsed into pulp by the cavalry, The commander of the Air Force, Hu Tianyang, was among them.
Successfully occupying the first strategic target, Chang Xun left a part of his men to garrison, and then led the main force to line up outside the base, with 20 artillery pieces in the forefront, aiming at the enemy cavalry pursuing in the southwest direction.
Before, the army troops stationed near Qiandeng County of the Wanliu Empire were caught off guard by Chang Xun and them, seeing Chang Xun and their fierce killing, they also planned to guard the camp, but they didn't expect that Chang Xun actually didn't have the slightest intention of fighting, so he took 10,000 cavalry around and passed by them, and went straight to the air base behind him.
Of course, the army commander of the Wanliu Empire would not let Chang Xun succeed, and immediately sent all the cavalry troops to pursue, but Chang Xun did not fight as heavy cavalry this time, they abandoned the heavy armor and their speed was very fast, and their war horses were the best in terms of endurance and speed, of course, they were not comparable to those ordinary war horses.
When the cavalry of the Wanliu Empire chased to the air base, the air base had fallen to the enemy, but the air force of their own side was gone, and in the sky, only the fighters of the Dongsheng Empire, which carried infinite glory, circled in the sky. Wanliu's cavalry generals are not stupid, although they have 20,000 cavalry, and the other side only has 10,000, but they have the air force to assist, even if they have more people, it will not help, the cavalry generals made a wise choice, did not attack but chose to retreat, return to the camp and join the large army and then make plans, perhaps, at that time, their own air force has arrived to regain air supremacy.
The artillery was ready, just waiting for the other party to rush over and send him to death, but what made Chang Xun depressed was that the guy on the opposite side actually retreated without a fight, turned around and ran, Chang Xun of course couldn't let them go easily, and immediately ordered the pursuit, and at the same time sent a signal to ask for air force support.
Yuan Fang and his entourage had arrived over the base at this time, and after receiving Chang Xun's request for help, Yuan Fang sent ten bombers to go, Xueqin was not at ease, and sent five fighters to escort the escort to assist Chang Xun in annihilating the other party's cavalry.
More than a dozen damaged fighters landed on the tarmac and began to repair them, Yuan Fang's airship troops all landed, unloaded most of the bombs and stored them in the warehouse, he really couldn't stand the kind of stimulation, or planned to be safe, safety is the most important. Wanliu's air base is not small, and all kinds of accessories and materials are available, which provides convenient conditions for repairing fighters, but three of the fighters are seriously damaged, and the airships of the Wanliu Empire and Dongsheng's fighters have completely different structures, and there are no suitable accessories, so they need to be remade, so they cannot participate in the battle for a while.
The rest of the fighters were fine, not much damage, and they could return to the team after finding some planks and leather to repair them briefly. The rescue team sent by Chang Xun has returned, bringing back more than a dozen pilots who successfully escaped parachuting and a few disassembled artillery, although most of these cannons can no longer be used, but these are also qualified materials, and they can be re-poured after returning to the furnace for smelting, steel, especially this alloy for forging artillery is now a hot commodity in the Dongsheng Empire, and it cannot be easily wasted.
In the base, most of the hangars are empty, only a small part of the hangars are parked with some slightly larger airships, these airships are the bombers of the Wanliu Empire, the speed is slower, and it is completely unsuitable for air combat, so under normal circumstances, the Wanliu Empire basically will not use these clumsy big guys to fight, so it is cheaper Yuan Fang or Dongsheng Empire, these airships have no merit, but they can be regarded as airships, they can fly into the sky, and the heavy crossbow on them can be completely blocked by civilian vehicles to be used by the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce.
