It was dark at night, and even the shipyards were lit up, and with no reference at all, the Boston fleet had to get closer before attacking. Gradually, the water began to become shallower, and according to the judgment of Lieutenant Colonel Douro, who had been sailing on the lake for many years, the shipyard of the other party was about to arrive, and at this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound of air friction in the silent night sky.

Spotting one of the gunboats, the first albatross bomber adjusted its angle and began its first dive. Swooping down at great speed, the albatross bomber lassoated the behemoth with its obvious infrared signature with an infrared sight.

"What is this sound? Is something wrong? Lieutenant Colonel Douro didn't notice anything wrong in the slightest, he just looked at the sky strangely, not knowing what to do. A boom explosion sounded, and a gunboat not far from the flagship was hit on the foredeck by a hundred kilograms of bombs, and a huge cloud of red mushrooms rose with soaring flames, illuminating the entire surface of the water.

The Boston gunboat, which had a displacement of just over four hundred tons, simply could not withstand such a heavy attack, and after being hit by a hundred kilograms of bombs, it began to slowly sink. Soon other attack planes began to dive, and with the help of infrared sights, they dropped bombs accurately on the deck of the Boston gunboat.

Booming explosions rang out one after another, and several gunboats were on fire, making Lieutenant Colonel Douro's heart tremble. "What's wrong, how can they find us at night, how can they drop bombs so accurately." Lieutenant Colonel Douro was already stunned.

An officer on the flagship came running and said: "Commander, let's retreat quickly, we can't even see what the enemy looks like, and we have been hit with such precision, this must have been premeditated." ”

"Yes, it must have been premeditated, we fell into the trap of the enemy" Lieutenant Colonel Douro found such an excuse to cover up his incompetence, he immediately ordered: "All gunboats form an anti-aircraft formation, use anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to shoot into the sky for cover, alternately retreating. ”

This order was impeccable for the Boston Army, but it completely destroyed the small fleet. As soon as their anti-aircraft guns opened fire, they were quickly spotted by artillery positions on the shore. The artillery of the Chinese army quickly used the artillery radar to calculate the distance and fired it at the surface with a heavy artillery group. Dense shells fell around the Boston fleet, frightening them to flee into the distance at full speed.

The Bostonians were so frightened that they had completely forgotten how the gunboats, no matter how fast they could outpace the planes in the sky. Eight albatross dive bombers found the light of the fire from the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns and began the second attack in turn.

Since these dive bombers on night duty carried 100 kilograms of small bombs, each plane carried four, and only one was used in the first round of attack. The bombers that dived down dropped their bombs again, and soon another batch of bombs was dropped, and although the hit rate was not high due to the high speed of the opponent, it still hit three gunboats.

The small gunboats simply could not withstand the power of a hundred kilograms of bombs, and several of the gunboats that were hit soon began to sink, and Lieutenant Colonel Douro's fleet had already lost eight gunboats before seeing its target. On the remaining five gunboats, the Boston sailors had become frightened birds, and all they could think about now was to escape, even their comrades who were struggling in the water.

At maximum speed, five gunboats fled towards their own fleet station, but on the unobstructed lake, how could five smeared gunboats evade the pursuit of eight dive bombers. By the time the bombers dropped their last bombs, the Bostonians on all five gunboats had been overboard. In this night sneak attack, the Boston people were stealing chickens and rice, and they didn't even see the edge of the Chinese military shipyard, and the fleet they used for the sneak attack was completely wiped out.

There was no rescue in the darkness of the night, and all but a few of the Boston sailors who had fallen into the water were able to escape with their superior swimming skills. A few dazed Boston soldiers swam to the shipyard, where they were quickly captured by the guards, while the luckier ones brought back news of the defeat for Marshal Pershing.

When he heard that the Chinese army had bombers that dropped bombs unhindered in the dark night, Marshal Pershing felt very bad, and he not only stopped the night activities, but also laid a large number of anti-aircraft guns in his own station and the fleet station, and at the same time he reported the situation, hoping that the Boston Empire would also develop night planes as soon as possible to counter the air superiority of the Chinese army.

The Bostonians also knew that Wudalianhu was the last chance to stop the Chinese army's northern offensive, so they had to send a large number of air forces from the south back to participate in the war, and the most important of them was the only three air wings of the Boston Air Force equipped with F104 fighters, which would be used to fight for air supremacy in the north.

Before the Lake Fleet and the Army began to fight, a large-scale air battle between the two sides broke out again, and the Boston Air Force dispatched 240 F104 fighters and 560 F86 fighters from 10 air wings to the city of Greenbay through the air over the lake. The Boston Air Force planned to rely on its air superiority to attack the shipyard with airborne rockets, but the Chinese Air Force was-for-tat, and all four hundred and eighty Golden Eagle 5 fighters of the six air wings of the Guards took off and rushed towards the opposing group.

There were still 50 kilometers to go, and the Golden Eagle 5 fighters had already discovered the opponent's group with airborne radar, and the Chinese Air Force immediately began to seize the height, and at the same time used the fire control radar to aim at the group of F104 fighters rushing to the front. When the distance between the two sides was close to 20 kilometers, all the Golden Eagle 5 fighters collectively launched their own medium-range air-to-air missiles.

At such close range, medium-range air-to-air missiles with a range of up to fifty kilometers were so maneuverable that those Boston fighters had little chance of dodging. In the successive explosions, many Boston planes exploded into fireworks in the sky, and the Bostonians finally knew that the enemy was close.

When the second round of missiles was launched, the two sides quickly came into visual distance, and the Boston Air Force, which had suffered heavy losses, soon began to fire airborne rockets, hoping to win back the game, but the Chinese Air Force planes opened up and accelerated, quickly climbed in altitude, and dodged the opponent's rocket fire.

Relying on the speed advantage, those Golden Eagle 5 fighters quickly turned behind the Bostonians and bit their tails. The F104 fighters who were bitten off their tails relied on the fact that they were supersonic planes and tried to evade them with speed, and they drove the plane to supersonic speed, only to find that the distance between the other side was not only not shortened, but much closer.

The Golden Eagle 5 fighter was faster than the F104, and under the carelessness of the opponent, they quickly closed the distance and fired their own short-range missiles. The Boston fighters were quickly shot down more than half of them, and the remaining planes immediately fled the battlefield, while the Golden Eagle 5 fighters pursued them all the way until they reached the range of the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery position.

This war made Marshal Pershing clearly realize that with the current level of weapons of the Boston Empire, it was impossible to achieve air supremacy, so he once again asked his superiors to speed up the research of new fighters.

It's one thing to ask for it, but it's another thing to be able to do it. At this time, Boston's major scientific research institutes had tried their best, but they still could not break through the bottleneck in the field of electronics, and those high-powered weapons with complex manufacturing processes became more and more difficult to manufacture due to the loss of the Chicago industrial area. Industrial production is plummeting across the country, and what is even more frightening is that in many places, there have been small outbreaks of plague, and despite the efforts of the local government and garrison to control the form, there is still not much they can do but isolate the sick.

The defeat at home made the Boston government pay more attention to the war situation in the Western Continent. They believed that only by breaking the defenses of the Chinese army and allowing their own army to quickly enter the territory of the Chinese Empire could they effectively contain the Chinese army that was wantonly attacking the Boston Empire, and only then could the Chinese Empire, which was afraid of its own excessive losses, have the idea of sitting down and negotiating with them.

The current Boston government no longer has the desire to win, and what they want is to end the war with dignity, minimize their own losses, and then use other advantages to restrain the development of the Chinese Empire.

On the battlefield of the Western Continent, both the Southern Route Army and the Northern Route Army have suffered a lot of losses, and they can only take a defensive position at present, and the only trump card they can rely on is the Middle Route Army commanded by the five-star General Howell.

After dividing troops to defend key areas to suppress the resistance in the occupied areas, Howell's troops were only 20 group armies, about 10 million people, and at this time, the industrial forces of the entire western continent were already running at high speed, trying their best to support this huge army and launch offensive operations against the Chinese army again and again.

The tug-of-war in the Kharkiv region lasted for three months, and the Axis forces finally occupied this important strategic node after losing more than 600,000 men, and at the same time they quickly crossed the Severodonets River and occupied a strong defensive terrain, while the Gaode language department, which also suffered considerable losses, seemed to have a sharp decline in combat effectiveness, and after losing Kharkov, they did not refuse to defend the river, but retreated another hundred kilometers, giving up a large area to others, and the troops retreated all the way to the Donbas region.

"We can't go back any longer, and if we continue to retreat, we will expose the Baku region to the enemy. Once the Axis gets their hands on the oil there, their logistical supply lines will be greatly eased, and we will be even more unable to resist at that point. Lieutenant General Wang Qiguang, who has been promoted to commander of the 31st Group Army, pointed to the map and said.
