Dense explosions rang out in Tierra Corolada, and after the appearance of the American airship unit, the airship unit of the Chinese Air Force immediately dropped all the bombs and prepared for an air battle with the American airship unit. When carrying a large number of bombs, the maneuverability of the airship will be greatly limited, which is not conducive to the performance in air combat. None of the US airship units carried bombs, and their primary goal was to defeat the airship units of the Chinese Air Force first and ensure that the Tiela Corolada would not be bombed by the airship units of the Chinese Air Force.

After the bomb was dropped, the altitude of the Chinese Air Force's airship unit rose rapidly, climbing to an altitude of 1,500 meters, and then killed the US airship unit. The airship unit of the Chinese Air Force, heavy airships are armed with a 37mm rapid-fire gun and a 127mm heavy machine gun. The medium airship was also armed with a 127 mm heavy machine gun.

"Marshal, the American airships have appeared, and there are quite a few of them, at least fifty or sixty! None of them are very big, though, about the same size as our medium-sized airship! Admiral Xie Dingkun said.

"Order the anti-aircraft machine guns of all units to prepare and fire at us as soon as the US airships have the intention to bomb us, or break into the range of our anti-aircraft machine guns!" Marshal Zhao Bo ordered. All units of the Chinese Army are equipped with specialized anti-aircraft machine guns. Each company had two 127-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, with a maximum anti-aircraft range of two thousand meters and an effective range of about 1,500 meters. Compared with the anti-aircraft machine guns of the US military, which are modified with light and heavy machine guns, it can be regarded as much more advanced. It's just that there are no air targets for these anti-aircraft machine guns to play in peacetime, so these anti-aircraft machine guns are mostly used as heavy machine guns. But the power of the anti-aircraft machine gun was much greater than that of the heavy machine gun. A 127 mm bullet is enough to break a human body in two if it hits it.

"Marshal, there are not many airships of the Americans, will our airships be able to beat them?" Admiral Du Qizheng said with some concern. They are all army generals, and they are not familiar with the field of air combat.

"I don't know, neither of us is the commander of the Air Force, so let's leave it to the professionals! Trust General Chen Qifeng, he will not let us down. At least. In the face of these US airships on the opposite side, we will definitely be able to win! Admiral Zhao Bo said firmly. When the squadron was equipped with airships and used in real combat, the Americans were still in the groping stage. Even now the main target of the Chinese Air Force has shifted to aircraft, but the airships of the Chinese Air Force are technically superior. It is also much more advanced than the American airship, and in such a situation, there is no reason for the airship unit of the Chinese Air Force to lose.

"Marshal, it's just that Mexico is too close to the United States, and with the industrial strength of the United States, it is no problem to produce hundreds or even more airships every month. They have lost airships and can be quickly replenished. And we have lost the airship, and it will take a lot of time to replenish it, and if it continues, it will be very bad for us! Admiral Xie Dingkun also said with some concern.

"You can rest assured. I've had it for a long time. The Air Force has sent a fighter group to the Mexican battlefield, and now that the transport ship has passed Hawaii, it will be able to disembark in three days at most. I have ordered the construction of an airstrip on the Acapulco side, and it will be operational in a day or two. When the time comes. More fighters and bombers will arrive in Mexico, and the Americans want to compete with us for ownership of the sky. That's delusional! Marshal Zhao Bo said very domineeringly. There is no doubt that all countries are now in the stage of exploration for the development of air forces or aircraft. On the European battlefield, aircraft have been applied to actual combat, but these aircraft are very simple, and they cannot be compared with Chinese aircraft at all, and on the battlefield, they are only used for reconnaissance and calibration. The Americans also began to study airplanes a few years ago, but they have produced some simple airplanes, which cannot be applied to actual combat. Therefore, if the US military wants to compete with the Chinese Air Force for air supremacy, it is a delusion.

The worry on the faces of General Xie Dingkun and General Du Qizheng suddenly disappeared, as senior generals of the Imperial Army, they also knew some things about the Air Force. The Chinese Air Force launched a new generation of fighters a few years ago, the performance of which is much more advanced than the current fighters of various countries, and mass production has begun. The Air Force now has more than 500 fighters and more than 200 bombers, and newer fighters and bombers are still being tested. In addition, the formation of naval aviation is also very smooth, and the construction of the four 'Emeishan-class' aircraft carriers will be completed soon, and it is expected that by the end of this year, the four aircraft carriers will be able to form combat effectiveness. When the time comes, China will win an overwhelming victory over the United States in the sky and at sea. According to the prediction of the Chinese General Staff, next year will be a turning point in the Sino-American war. The Chinese Navy will wipe out the U.S. Navy, and the Army will attack the American heartland. Then it will take one to two years to completely destroy the United States. After all, the United States is a powerful country with a population of 80 million and the largest industrial strength in the world.

In such a short period of time, the airship units of China and the United States have already narrowed the distance, and at a distance of more than 1,000 meters, the airships of both sides have begun a fierce exchange of fire.

The 19 heavy airships of the Chinese Air Force's airship unit are the largest, and they have undoubtedly become the target of the US military's key attacks. However, the 37mm rapid-fire guns and heavy machine guns on the heavy airships made these American airships suffer enough.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The heavy airship of the Chinese Air Force Airship Unit No. 103 opened heavy fire on an American airship a kilometer away, and shells from 37-millimeter rapid-fire guns continued to explode around the American airship. These shells, with a delayed fuse, even if they do not hit the target, within the effective killing range, the fragments produced by the explosion of the shell are enough to cut the airship's airbag. And once the airbag of the airship is burst, what kind of consequences will be imagined!

The soldiers of China and the United States had forgotten about fighting at this moment, and everyone turned their attention to the battlefield in the air. Although the scale of the air battle is only more than 100 airships, the total crew on it is only a few hundred. However, this was the first large-scale air battle in human history. Just hundreds of airships in the sky, like floating clouds, covering the sky and the sun, are already very spectacular!

"God and Buddha bless, bless our air force to defeat the Yankees, teach those guys a hard lesson!" Many Chinese soldiers prayed in their hearts for the airship unit of the Air Force. After all, air combat is much more dangerous than war on land. Once the airship is damaged or even destroyed, the crew on it is likely to die.

"Oh God! Punish these evil Chinese! Let them all go to hell! "The US officers and men who have been bombed by the airship units of the Chinese Air Force for days are also praying to God that they have had enough of the bombing by the Chinese Air Force, and if they can shoot down all the Chinese airships, they will no longer have to face danger from the sky."

In the sky, the airship troops on both sides launched fierce fire, tracer bullets left traces in the sky. However, although the exchange of fire was fierce, it was difficult to hit the target. The airship has nowhere to borrow force in the sky, whether it is a heavy machine gun or a rapid-fire gun, it will produce a lot of recoil, which makes the airship's pod inevitably shake violently, and it also affects the accuracy of shooting. Often, the enemy airship has already been aimed, but when it comes to firing, the bullets and shells have long been lost.

In such a situation, the two sides can only ensure the accuracy of their shooting by constantly reducing the distance. However, in general, the airship units of the Chinese Air Force have a great advantage. The airships of the US military are only equipped with heavy machine guns, and they often need to rely on luck to hit targets in the air. And the heavy airships of the Chinese Air Force are armed with rapid-fire guns, and the probability of hitting the target has undoubtedly increased a lot.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the first airship to be hit appeared, a US airship was hit at a distance of 800 meters from the No. 105 heavy airship of the Chinese Air Force, several rapid-fire artillery shells exploded less than 10 meters away from the airship, and the fragments produced by the explosion of the shells cut the airbags of the US airship. Because the airbags of the US military airships are filled with hydrogen, although this gas can bring a lot of lift to the airship, it is also very dangerous, and it is easy to burn after being hit. And once the airship burns in the air, there is absolutely no possibility of survival for the crew above.

The U.S. airship was exactly like this, and after being hit, the airship in the airbag quickly burst into flames, and in an instant, the entire airbag turned into a huge fireball. At the same time, the entire airship quickly fell to the ground, and the speed became faster and faster under the effect of gravitational acceleration. The falling airship looked like a huge flaming bird.

"Oh God! Hit, our airship hit! Many officers and men of the US military exclaimed one after another, even if they were not the crew members on the airship, they were all pale with fright, everyone knew that the crew above must be dead!

And the officers and men of the squadron and the Japanese mercenaries applauded excitedly after seeing the US airship shot down!
