"General, the battle is over, the Chinese fighters flew back!" A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Kevinson.

"How big are our losses?" Lieutenant General Kevinson's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water. The sudden blow of the Chinese Air Force dealt a heavy blow to the US Army aviation. Although he did not yet know the exact battle report, he knew that the losses would certainly not be small.

"Of the hundreds of warplanes we took off, 96 were shot down, and only 4 escaped!" The staff officer hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Son of a bitch's yellow-skinned monkey!" Even though preparations were made, Lieutenant General Kevinson was still shocked by this huge loss. There were only 100 fighters deployed in the entire vicinity of Laredo, and in less than two hours, they were almost completely lost. This is undoubtedly a great blow to the US military!

"General. In addition, we have an airfield that was blown up by the Chinese. Aircraft shells were destroyed, as were ammunition and oil depots. In total, there were more than two hundred casualties among pilots and ground crews. According to the answer of the chief officer of the airport, the airport is completely abandoned! The staff officer paused, then continued.

"Damn it!" Lieutenant General Kevinson cursed secretly. Under the successive blows, he didn't know what to say!

"General, General March is here!" At this time, a junior officer walked into the command of the US Army Air Corps and reported to Lieutenant General Kevinson. Obviously, Peyton. Lieutenant General March also learned of the fiasco of the U.S. Army Air Corps.

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Kevinson hurriedly walked out. In his office, saw Peyton. Lieutenant General March.

"Chief of Staff, why are you here?" Lieutenant General Kevinson asked. While he and Peyton. March, like that, is a lieutenant general. However, Peyton. March was chief of staff for the Rio Grande Line, and as commander of the U.S. Army Air Corps, he was under the temporary administration of the Rio Grande. The significance of the existence of the US Army Air Corps is to defend the US mainland and keep the Chinese out of the US borders!

"General Kevinson, what's going on with Army Aviation? Are our losses big? "Peyton. Lieutenant General March asked directly. When he learned that a large-scale air battle had broken out between the Chinese Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Corps, he immediately realized that the U.S. Army Air Force would probably go to bed early and suffer heavy losses. Before Admiral Pershing returned to the defensive line, he had to understand the specific situation. Otherwise, when Admiral Pershing returns, how will he explain it to Admiral Pershing?

"Chief of Staff, our losses are somewhat heavy. This time we fell for the conspiracy of the Chinese. Of the hundreds of fighters that took off for battle, more than 90 were lost! Lieutenant General Kevinson replied with a gloomy face.

"What? Lost so much? Lieutenant General Peyton March immediately jumped up from the couch.

The loss of hundreds of fighters is already equivalent to one-eighth of the total number of fighters in the US Army Air Corps today. And, having lost so much in one day, how many days will the hundreds of fighters of the US Army Air Force be able to hold out in total?

"Chief of Staff. Our 'Hurricane,[ type fighter performance is not comparable to the Chinese' Hai Dongqing, fighter. In addition, our pilots are not as good as the Chinese pilots. In the absence of numerical superiority, we simply cannot beat the Chinese! Lieutenant General Kevinson said. The U.S. Army Air Force can't beat the Chinese Air Force, and this is also because the congenital conditions can't be compared! It's not that he or the officers and men of the U.S. Army Air Corps don't work hard!

"General Kevinson, how big are the losses of the Chinese?" Peyton. Lieutenant General March asked.

"About twenty of them!" Lieutenant General Kevinson replied.

Peyton. Lieutenant General March's face became very ugly. Originally, now that Admiral Pershing was away, he felt a tremendous pressure. And the Chinese have been making frequent moves recently, and they have shown that they want to start attacking. And the Chinese Air Force began to make large-scale sorties, which is completely the Chinese want to seize air supremacy. And this is obviously the harbinger of a large-scale offensive by the Chinese!

"Chief of Staff. I think this attack by the Chinese was premeditated at all. The Chinese have suffered heavy losses in this attack. And the air defense forces in the vicinity of Laredo as a whole are almost temporarily in a blank slate. If the Chinese were to launch a large-scale attack at this time, we would simply not be able to resist their fierce attack. Lieutenant General Kevinson reminded.

"Damn! Someone, order all troops to raise their vigilance! "Peyton. Lieutenant General March's face changed suddenly, and he immediately gave an order to the accompanying staff officers. If the squadron wants to take the opportunity to force the crossing of the Rio Grande, then the US military will be in big trouble.

"Chief of Staff, I have ordered Army Aviation to reinforce Laredo. Our warplanes will soon be able to strengthen this section of the defense. But what worries me is that after the fall, the Chinese will definitely launch attacks one after another. Judging from today's battle, the exchange ratio between us and the Chinese Air Force is about 1 to 4. If this continues, I am afraid that we will not be able to fight the Chinese! Lieutenant General Kevinson said with some concern.

"General Kevinson, try your best to resist the attack of the Chinese! General Pershing will be back in line in four days. We will negotiate with the War Department and the Army Staff and ask them to replenish our fighters as much as possible! "Peyton. Lieutenant General March said.

When the U.S. military began to worry that the squadron would launch a large-scale attack on them, the Chinese Air Force was not satisfied with this attack. Lieutenant General Feng Yong, deputy commander of the Air Force, was furious. Although 96 U.S. fighters were shot down, the Air Force's 7th Fighter Wing suffered significant losses, losing a total of 22 fighters. The exchange ratio is less than one to five! Although such a result is already very good, the prerequisite is that the U.S. military's 'Hurricane' [type fighter' is not at all the Chinese Air Force's equipped FB Hai Dongqing, the opponent of the fighter. And the pilots of the U.S. Army Air Corps are basically rookies who have just left school. If the fighters of the US Army Air Force are a little more powerful, and the pilots are a little more experienced and technical, will the Chinese Air Force still be able to have an advantage?

After all, it is now fighting on American soil, and the US Army Aviation, although it has suffered heavy losses, is also much easier to replenish. The losses of the Chinese Air Force need to cross the Pacific Ocean, and it is too difficult to replenish them!

In the afternoon of the same day, the Chinese Air Force again bombed the airfield near Laredo across the Rio Grande. In addition, the Chinese Air Force has also summed up its experience, and most of the fighters lost before the main reinforcements arrived, and all of them were shot down under the siege of the US Army Air Force.

This time, while one group's fighters were covering a group's bombers to bomb the U.S. defenses near Laredo, reinforcements from the other two groups were already on standby in the air south of the Riodeau. As long as the U.S. Army Air Force attacked, they would rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to reinforce the troops on the front line.

At 2:25 p.m., a large group of HB' Hongyan, bombers bombed the line on the west side of Laredo. It was a defensive position constructed by the U.S. military consisting of trenches, anti-tank trenches, and artillery positions. Forty HB' bombers dropped forty tons of aerial bombs at an altitude of 1,500 meters, turning the entire position into a sea of fire.

When the bombers of the Chinese Air Force began to bomb the American lines. The US Army Air Corps, having received intelligence, took off urgently. Hundreds of U.S. Hurricane fighters were mobilized from other airfields to the vicinity of Laredo. And when the fighters of the US Army Air Corps appeared, the bombers of HB' Hongyan, which had completed their mission, began to return. The escort fighters began to maneuver with the US fighters. At the same time, the fighters of the other two brigades, which were on standby in the sky south of the Rio Grande, rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible.

Joined the battle within ten minutes of the outbreak of the battle.

In this battle, the Chinese Air Force invested 99 FB Haidongqing, fighters, and the US Army Air Force invested 104 Hurricane, [type fighters. The number of fighters put into service by both sides is almost equal. In such a situation, the US Army Aviation simply does not take advantage of anything. The end is naturally conceivable.

More than 200 fighters from both sides fought fiercely over the Rio Grande, and one fighter was hit one after another, and then fell into the Rio Grande in the pouring smoke. The fighting was fierce, and fighters were constantly being shot down. The soldiers of China and the United States deployed on both sides of the Rio Grande are also paying attention to this fierce air battle. Every time an enemy fighter was shot down, there was an earth-shattering cheer. And the downing of their own fighter always makes them very sorry.

However, judging from the situation of the battle, it is clear that the officers and soldiers of the Chinese side spent much more time cheering than regretting. And this also greatly boosted the morale of the squadron, and the morale of the US military was greatly hit.

This time, the air battle lasted more than an hour before it ended. In this battle, a total of 15 fighters of the Chinese Air Force were shot down, while the US Air Force lost 84 fighters, and the exchange ratio between the two sides reached almost 1 to 5.

In the two air battles that broke out today on 4 October, the Chinese Air Force lost a total of 37 fighters, while the US Army Air Corps lost 180 fighters. The exchange ratio between the two sides is almost one to five, and the US Army Air Force exchanges five fighters for one fighter of the Chinese Air Force, and the Chinese Air Force has the upper hand!
