Chapter 827: Can You Continue Fighting?
Although the first batch of more than 200 fighters of the United Nations Air Force responsible for attacking the Huaxinghui airfield inside and outside the city of Laoag was attacked head-on by more than 600 fighters of the Free Corps Air Force, the 276 fighters, 10 electronic attack planes and 6 early warning planes of the United Nations Air Force took off from the airports on Fuga Island and Galayan Island were supported, so the remnants of the first batch of fighters of the United Nations Air Force continued to be entangled with the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force.
The 276 fighters, 10 electronic attack planes, and 6 early warning planes of the United Nations Air Force soon joined the battlefield in the air, but at this time, the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force still occupied a numerical advantage in the sky, and the fighters of the United Nations Air Force units that supported them still did not change the situation of the air battle.
In the continuous explosion in the sky, the fighters of the United Nations Air Force were shot down one after another, of course, the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force did not crash, but the number of crashed Free Corps Air Force fighters was far less than that of the United Nations Air Force crashed fighters.
"Oh God! We have lost too much! Colonel James Jerson, there are so many fighters in the Huaxing Air Force that we are already in a state of passivity, and I suggest that we should retreat immediately! U.S. Air Force Colonel Hamilton Fish, who had just led a group of support aircraft into the air theater, shouted over the radio to British Air Force Colonel James Jerson.
At this time, the support aircraft group led by US Air Force Colonel Hamilton Fish had just joined the air battlefield in the Laoag area for only 10 minutes, and the air battle over the entire Laoag area had only lasted about half an hour, but the warplanes of the United Nations Air Force units in the skies over this area had already decreased by more than half, and the surviving pilots of various countries found that most of the fighters in the Huaxing Association were in sight, and there were fewer and fewer fighters on their own.
The United Nations Air Force lost so many fighters, but it could not pose any threat to the several airfields in and around the city of Laoag, because the fighters of the United Nations Air Force had no way to get rid of the interception of the Free Corps Air Force fighters, which made the surviving pilots of the United Nations Air Force despair.
British Air Force Colonel James Jerson, who had always hoped to be promoted to general through this war, had to admit at this time that the current United Nations Air Force fighters here alone could no longer complete the task of destroying the Huaxinghui airfield, and the United Nations Force Command had recently sent a message that the air raids on the San Juan and Denkel areas controlled by the Huaxinghui were also not going well, and it was no longer possible to continue to send additional support forces to the air battle in the Laoag area.
James Jerson, as the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Air Force over the Laoag area, had no choice but to give the order to retreat, and then the remaining fighters of the United Nations Air Force immediately retreated in the direction of Fuga Island and Galayan Island, while the fighters of the Free Corps Air Force only pursued for a certain distance and shot down some of the fighters of the fleeing United Nations Air Force.
After returning to the airports on Fuga Island and Galayan Island, there were less than 190 fighters left in the United Nations Air Force, of which 10 F-35A fighters, 12 F-22 Raptor fighters, 29 F-14 fighters, 3 B-1 strategic bombers, 6 B-52 strategic bombers, 8 electronic attack planes and 5 AWACS planes were left in the US Air Force, and only 51 of the 100 fighters dispatched, a loss of nearly half. The losses of the strategic bombers dispatched by the US Air Force were even worse, and only 9 of the 30 strategic bombers were able to escape back to Fuga Island and Galayan Island.
If the loss of nearly half of the fighters sent by the US Air Force over the Laoag region is considered very miserable, then the losses of fighter jets sent by the air forces of other countries over the Laoag region can be described as tragic.
The British Air Force was able to escape back to Fuga Island and Galayan Island, only 14 Lightning fighters and 32 Typhoon fighters, you must know that the British Air Force finally sent 40 Lightning fighters and 95 Typhoon fighters to the airfields of the two islands of Fuga Island and Gallayan Island, of which 7 Typhoon fighters were remnants of the British Air Force's first Luzon campaign.
The losses of the British Air Force were so miserable, and the remaining countries did not have a good time, the French Air Force only had 8 Lightning fighters and 10 Mirage 2000 fighters, the Luftwaffe only 7 Lightning fighters and 11 Typhoon fighters, the Israeli Air Force only 6 F-35A fighters, 10 F-15 fighters and 11 F-16 fighters, the Dutch Air Force had 4 Lightning fighters left, and the Spanish Air Force only 3 Typhoon fighters fled back to the airfield on Gallayan Island.
In the headquarters of the Western Assault Group of the United Nations forces in San Fernando, Luzon, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, Lewis Black, received a report that the warplanes of various countries sent to the airfields over the Laoag area had withdrawn to the island airfields, and his face could not help but become even more gloomy, and the United Nations Air Force sent more than 500 warplanes to the airspace over the Laoag area, and after only about half an hour of air fighting, only 189 fighters were left who could successfully escape back to the airfields of the two islands. It completely exceeded Lewis Black's predictions.
The air force of the Huaxing Association concentrated a large number of fighter planes in the skies of the two areas, and at this time the air battlefields in the two places were still in fierce fighting, and the losses of the fighters of the United Nations forces in the two air battlefields were also very large.
Lewis Black hesitated for a moment, then ordered the warplanes to be withdrawn from the airfields of the two islands over the Laoag area, and gave up the task of attacking the Huaxinghui airfield, and the next task was to protect the two island airfields against the attack of the Huaxinghui air force.
According to the operational plan drawn up by the United Nations forces, the United Nations forces will put in the airspace over the San Juan town area nine aircraft carriers of the United States Navy and the British Navy, as well as hundreds of fighters from the three aircraft wings of the United States Marine Corps, so that the number of fighters that the United Nations forces will carry out air strikes over the San Juan town area will reach 886, and all of them are fourth- and fifth-generation fighters.
Of course, the 886 fighter planes of the United Nations forces could not be put into the skies over the town of San Juan at one time, and in the first wave of air strikes, the United Nations forces only dispatched more than 400 warplanes, including electronic attack planes and early warning planes in addition to fighter planes.
The Freikorps Air Force has put into service 290 fourth-generation fighters and 738 third-generation fighters in the San Juan town area, of which the fourth-generation fighters include 60 FA-18 Super Hornet fighters, 70 F-15 fighters and 160 F-16 fighters, and the third-generation fighters include 27 F-4EJ fighters and 34 J-11 fighters, as well as 320 Tornado fighters and 240 Jaguar attack aircraft stolen from the United Kingdom.
The Freikorps Air Force has more fighters than the United Nations forces in the San Juan Township area, but in terms of overall fighter performance, the Freiko Air Force is at a disadvantage, but the Cyborg pilots' skilled aerial combat skills and experience make up for some of the disadvantages.
The air battle in the San Juan town area has been white-hot from the very beginning, with fighter planes of both sides staggered in the air, fighter planes of both sides constantly being shot down by each other, and the entire San Juan town area has become a pot of porridge, and the follow-up support planes of both sides have also joined the air battlefield one after another.
At least more than 750 of the 886 fighter jets that the United Nations forces planned to send to the San Juan area had entered the air battlefield after about an hour of fierce fighting over the San Juan town area, and the Freikorps Air Force had sent 290 fourth-generation fighters and 738 third-generation fighters in the plan.
The 320 Tornado fighters and 240 Jaguar attack planes stolen from the British have been upgraded many times by the British, and their performance is not much worse than that of the fourth-generation fighters, otherwise the number of fighters of the Free Corps Air Force is superior, and it is impossible to fight evenly with the fighters of the United Nations forces in the air battle in the San Juan town area.
The performance of the third-generation fighters is much worse than the fourth-generation fighters, let alone the fifth-generation fighters, the 27 F-4EJ fighters and 34 J-11 fighters sent by the Free Corps Air Force without technical upgrades in the third-generation fighters have been lost in about 1 hour of air combat, and the United Nations fighters they shot down are less than half of the number they have lost, thanks to the very strong air combat skills of the biochemical pilots.
The situation of the battle over the San Juan town area changed after the Free Corps Air Force 200 fifth-generation fighters and 200 fourth-generation fighters joined the air battlefield, and gradually the United Nations forces lost more and more fighter planes, and the US Air Force commander who was responsible for directing the air battle in the San Juan town area saw that the opposing air force had added a large number of new forces, and knew that it was impossible to seize air supremacy in the San Juan town area, so he immediately ordered the remaining fighters to retreat immediately.
The 200 fifth-generation fighters and 200 fourth-generation fighters of the Free Corps Air Force were those reserves that had been left in the seven airfields inside and outside the city of Laoag, and more than 600 fighters of the Free Corps Air Force crushed the United Nations air force units that carried out air strikes in the Laoag area, and the commander-in-chief of the Free Corps Air Force, Meng Wei, immediately ordered 200 fifth-generation fighters and 200 fourth-generation fighters parked at seven airports as reserves to take off and take off to support the air battle in the San Juan town area.
At the headquarters of the United Nations Forces' Western Strike Group in San Fernando, Luzon, a U.S. lieutenant colonel hurriedly walked up to Lewis Black, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, and said: "General, the air raid in the San Juan town area has also failed, and now the Navy carrier-based aircraft and air force fighters sent to the San Juan town area have been withdrawn to nine aircraft carriers and two island airfields, respectively. ”
Lewis Black smiled wryly and said, "So how is the air battle going in the Denkeltown area?" ”
The US lieutenant colonel shook his head and said: "General, the air battle in the town of Denkel is still ongoing, but the situation is still not optimistic, we originally planned to put 800 fighters of our US Air Force, 12 B-2 stealth strategic bombers, 12 electronic attack planes and 8 early warning aircraft in the town of Denkel area, but because of the support for the air raids in the Rawag area, and the need to stay behind some fighters on Fuga Island and Galayan Island to prevent the air force of the Huaxing Association from sneaking up on our two island airfields, In the end, our U.S. Air Force only put more than 550 fighters into the Denkel Town area, and they faced more than 700 fighters from the Huaxinghui Air Force. ”
The Air Force of the Freikorps put 200 fourth-generation fighters and 540 third-generation fighters into the air battle in the town of Denkel area, and the third-generation fighters put into it were all upgraded in technology, and their performance was no worse than that of the fourth-generation fighters, so the fighters that the US Air Force put into the town of Denkel area fell into a disadvantage shortly after the start of the air battle, that is, more than 550 fighters were put into the air battle in the town of Denkel and did not change the disadvantage.
As soon as the lieutenant colonel of the US army finished speaking, a US major ran over and said urgently to Lewis Black, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces: "General, the fighter planes responsible for the air raid on the town of Denkel have withdrawn, according to the report of the leader Colonel John Brerou, after more than one hour of air fighting, the fighters of our air force have suffered very heavy losses, and the fighters of the Huaxing Association are still increasing, if they do not retreat, the hundreds of fighters responsible for the air raid on the town area of Denkel are likely to face the danger of total annihilation." ”
Lewis Blake's face was gloomy, he did not expect that the United Nations forces had carefully prepared for two months, and the United States had sent a large number of fighter planes to the Philippines, but just after more than one hour of launching an air raid on Huaxinghui, the attack aircraft groups in the three directions all failed, and the losses were even more heavy, and what made Lewis Black even more shocked was that according to the situation of air battles in several regions, the number of fighters owned by the Huaxinghui Air Force was much more than that of the United Nations forces, and Lewis Black did not knowHow will the next battle continue? (To be continued.) )
