After a US airship was hit and caught fire, it fell to the ground and fell to pieces within a dozen seconds, becoming the first airship to be shot down in this air battle. And this airship also officially kicked off the prelude to the tragic air battle. The airships of China and the United States fought fiercely at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.

"Damn, the Chinese actually installed rapid-fire guns on the airship, aren't they afraid that the strong recoil when the rapid-fire cannon fires will make the whole airship fall apart?" The commander of the airship of the US army, Colonel Ebutt, exclaimed. Seeing one of his airships shot down, he didn't feel sorry in his heart, some were just surprised. Becoming a crew member of an airship is an extremely dangerous thing to do. In a land war, it is possible for a soldier to escape if he is wounded, and if an airship is hit, the crew on it is dead. At least, for the airships of the United States and most countries.

"Colonel, we are too far away from the Chinese airships, it is difficult to hit them. But the Chinese can hit our airship with rapid-fire guns, and the current situation is very unfavorable for us! A major officer said to Colonel Ebutt.

"Order the boats, close the distance between them and the Chinese, aim at those big guys, and shoot down those big guys first!" Colonel Ebbt ordered.

The US airships in the sky accelerated towards the Chinese airships, and the Chinese airships did not avoid the battle. When the distance is too far, it is not easy for the Chinese airship to hit the US airship. In addition, the Chinese airship also has a numerical advantage, even if the two sides close the distance, the Chinese Air Force airship will not fall behind.

Hundreds of airships on both sides fought fiercely in the air, and the officers and soldiers and generals of China and the United States watching the battle below paid close attention to the shape in the sky. The first American airship was shot down, which greatly affected the morale of the US military.

"Son of a bitch. Why was our airship shot down first, is it true that God doesn't bless the United States? Lieutenant General Clark couldn't help but curse. He always hoped that after the appearance of the airship, it would be able to turn the tide and defeat the Chinese airship, so as to prevent the Chinese airship from continuing to bomb Tyrana Cororada. But now it seems that something is wrong!

Lieutenant General Clark's adjutant opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. In the heat of air combat, you need to rely on luck to shoot down your opponents. And now it seems that the airships of the Chinese Air Force are not only superior to the airships of the US military. In terms of weapons and equipment, it is obviously better than the US airship. In the absence of numerical superiority, this battle may not be too optimistic.

"Da Da Da!" The Chinese Air Force's No. 145 airship exchanged fierce fire with a US airship at a distance of 600 meters. The heavy machine gun fired at its maximum rate of fire, and the huge recoil caused the airship's pod to shake constantly, leaving trail bullets in the air with irregular traces.

"Dangdang!" A crisp crash sounded. The pod of the airship No. 145 was hit. But they were all blocked by the armor on the outside of the pod, the pod was not penetrated, and the crew inside was naturally safe and sound.

"Poof!" There was a sound of air leaking, and the crew on the airship suddenly looked nervously at the airbags above, each of them had a parachute on their backs, and once the airship was hit, it was going to crash. They will be the first to jump out of the airship's pod to save themselves. However, only two airbags have been punctured, and the rest are intact. Because the airship of the Chinese Air Force uses a separation technology, the rolled airbags are divided into sixteen airbags. In this way, even if one or two airbags are destroyed, the airship can continue to fight, but its performance will be affected to a certain extent. Moreover, the airbag of the Chinese airship is filled with helium. Even if it is hit, it will not catch fire and burn, which is much safer than the hydrogen airship of the US military!

The airship was not shot down. Let the hanging hearts of the crew above finally fall back into their stomachs. The crew immediately operated their heavy machine guns and began to return fire, with a dense barrage of bullets firing at the opposite airship.

"Da Da Da!" A chain of bullets more than two meters long was quickly wiped out, and the US airship on the opposite side did not have such good luck this time. Several bullets hit the airship's airbag, and the US airship instantly turned into a big fireball, which fell straight to the ground and shattered, and the US military crew on it was also shattered.

As the distance closes, the fight between the airships of China and the United States has become more and more tragic. Constantly there are airships that are hit and then crashed to the ground. As soon as the U.S. airship is hit, it turns into a ball of fireball, falling to the ground like a flaming firebird. Every airship that is hit will make the faces of the generals and officers and men of the US military very ugly.

Slowly, the Chinese airship unit also suffered casualties, a medium airship numbered 137 was hit by a barrage of heavy machine gun bullets, the airbags on it were broken several times, and a large amount of helium leaked, causing the airship to lose lift. At this time, the captain immediately gave the order to parachute, and several crew members on the airship jumped out of the airship in an instant, opened the parachute behind them, and a few small white flowers suddenly appeared in the sky.

When the officers and men of the US military saw that the Chinese airship had been hit, they could not help but shout cheers. However, then they looked at the sky with a stunned expression. After the Chinese Air Force crew jumped out of the airship, a parachute appeared behind them, and the speed of landing slowed down a lot. Even after more than ten seconds, the airship fell to the ground and shattered, but the crew still floated in the air and slowly landed.

"Oh God! Can those Chinese fly? Some U.S. soldiers asked in horror.

"It shouldn't be, it's something behind them, like an umbrella, this thing saved the lives of those Chinese!" Some clever officers speculated.

The officers and men of the US military are very aggrieved, after their airship is hit, they will even break the people and the boat to pieces, but the Chinese can escape, isn't this cheating? The airship that came to the US military is no match for the Chinese airship, and now the Chinese airship can escape after being hit, while the crew on the US airship has only a dead end. Under such circumstances, one can imagine how much the morale of the crew of the US airship will be affected.

"These cunning Chinese, they are so despicable and shameless. Immediately send troops to search for those Chinese boatmen, arrest them all, and kill all those who dare to resist! Lieutenant General Clark ordered through gritted teeth. He found that he felt as if he had been completely fooled by the Chinese, which made him very angry.

At the same time, the commander of the squadron, Marshal Zhao Bo, also issued an order to rescue the airship crews, and both armies sent elite special forces and search units to disperse into small units to call for the parachuted crews. If those crew members fall to the side controlled by the squadron, then their lives will not be threatened, but if they fall to the side controlled by the US military, it will be dangerous.

The fierce battle in the sky continued, and the airships were constantly hit, and one after another the airships either turned into fireballs and fell to the ground, or they jumped out of a few small white flowers and then fell to the ground. The airships of China and the United States fought fiercely for air supremacy in Tierra Corolada. However, the situation is developing in favor of the Chinese Air Force, and if three or four US airships are shot down, the Chinese Air Force will shoot down one. In addition, the crew of the Chinese Air Force airship can parachute to escape by guò after the airship is hit, while the crew of the US military can only wait for death after the airship is hit. Under such a gap, the airships of the Chinese Air Force are getting stronger and stronger, but the airships of the US military are powerless to recover the decline, especially the crews of the US airships, whose fighting spirit has been greatly affected, which also affects their combat power!

After more than an hour of fierce fighting in the air, the US military had already lost half of its airships, while the Chinese Air Force had only lost about a dozen airships. Moreover, most of the losses were medium-sized airships, and although the heavy airships were larger, they also had more fierce firepower, and the US airships no longer dared to challenge these big guys after being destroyed by the heavy airships of the Chinese Air Force one after another.

Seeing that the Chinese airships had already occupied a decisive advantage, the commander of the US airship unit, Colonel Ebutt, gave the order to retreat. The remaining 20 or so U.S. airships flew eastward, while the Chinese Air Force airships were in hot pursuit. The maximum speed of the US airship is only 40 kilometers, while the maximum speed of the Chinese Air Force's airship has reached 50 kilometers.

The pursuit of the Chinese Air Force airship unit lasted until 10 o'clock at noon, and the US airship unit dispatched 50 airships, but only 11 returned to Chilpansingo, and the remaining 39 were destroyed, and all the crew members on it were killed. And the airship unit of the Chinese Air Force lost 10 airships, two of which were heavy airships, and the rest were light airships. Most of the crew members on these ten airships were rescued, and only a dozen people were not rescued. Some people died because they didn't jump out of the airship in time when the airship was destroyed, and some people fell to their deaths because they didn't open their parachutes in time. Several other crew members were captured by the U.S. military and captured by the U.S. military. Although Lieutenant General Clark wanted to kill these Chinese airship soldiers to vent his anger, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart. After all, there were more American prisoners of war there in the squadron, and if he killed Chinese prisoners of war, it would not be good if the Chinese side also killed American prisoners of war.

After the air battle on 20 February, air supremacy over the Titra Coroda is still in the hands of the Chinese Air Force, but the US military will obviously not give up the struggle for air supremacy.
