Chapter 247: Air Supremacy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force dropped all the bombs and ran out of bullets, and then swaggered away. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion left the British army in disarray, as well as a large number of casualties.

Lieutenant General Slim came out of his hiding place, and when he saw such a terrible scene, he wanted to cry even more.

"Damn the Chinese, they actually sent fighters to attack us, this is simply heinous. We are allies, not enemies! Lieutenant General Slim roared angrily.

Now he remembered that the two sides were not enemies, but allies. However, when he led the army into India in a menacing manner, he wanted to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and then take back Burma. Because of the fiasco, his psychology has also changed.

"General, our losses are too great. casualties, at least thousands. In addition, the armored brigade lost half of its tanks. The artillery of the infantry divisions also suffered heavy losses. Our heavy weapons, at least thirty percent of which we have lost. Major General Eric reported.

Obviously, this round of air raids by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army caused extremely heavy losses to the British army. casualties, however, are secondary. However, the loss of heavy equipment has greatly restricted their offensive capability. Once the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army stops them, they will not have enough strength to tear apart the interception of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Order the troops, move on. Now, we can only avoid being attacked by the Chinese if we break through and leave the coast of Rakhine as soon as possible. Lieutenant General Slim ordered.

"Yes, General." Major General Eric nodded.

"Send a telegram to Your Excellency the Commander, send fighter planes to protect us, and fight with the Chinese air force for air supremacy." Those yellow-skinned monkey air squadrons were just formed with the support of the Americans, and they don't even want to fight us! Lieutenant General Slim ordered.

Although, the size of the British Air Force in India may not be as large as the air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, in terms of strength, they are not necessarily at a disadvantage. The British Air Force has been developing for decades. The quality of their pilots is also much stronger than that of the pilots of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. They are also equipped with P-47 fighters, P-40 fighters or P-51 fighters supported by the Americans.

"Yes, General." The communications officer of the British army immediately contacted the British command in India and asked them to send air reinforcements.

When Admiral Wavell learned that the British army had been attacked by the anti-Japanese salvation army air force and suffered heavy losses, he was also furious. On the one hand, he scolded the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army for being shameless and actually used fighter planes to deal with them. On the other hand, it urgently ordered the air force to destroy the airfield of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and seize air supremacy.

General Wavell knew that the best way to protect the British forces attacking Burma was to destroy the airfield of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force. In this way, they will be able to seize air supremacy. Otherwise, planes would have to be sent to hover over the army. In that case, it will be a great test for the air supremacy of fighters.

The air force of the British army in India is quite strong. In terms of quantity and scale, it is inferior to the anti-Japanese salvation army air force. However, their strength is still not to be underestimated.

After receiving the order of General Wavell, the air force of the British army stationed in India immediately launched an attack. From the airfield of the British army stationed in the east of India, hundreds of warplanes took off and went straight to the airfield of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army Morey.

Even so, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force is now more than just Morey Airport. However, it is still their largest air base. The number of aircraft parked here is the largest, as is the storage of aviation ammunition. If this airfield is blown up by the British Air Force, it will be a heavy blow to the anti-Japanese salvation army air force.

It's just that since the beginning of the battle, the anti-Japanese salvation army aviation has long been prepared. The airport's radar, which is always on, monitors the nearby airspace. Even, the British airfields in Imphal and other places, as soon as a fighter plane took off, the radar of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army immediately monitored it.

When the British Air Force group arrived violently, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force immediately discovered it. And, at once, a large number of fighters took off to intercept it.

The Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has a total of fifteen squadrons of P-51B fighters. At the Morey airfield alone, eight squadrons were deployed. Immediately after receiving the order, the fighters of the eight squadrons took off.

A massive aerial battle broke out between the two sides in the airspace on the border between Myanmar and India. The pilots of both sides, piloting almost the same type of fighters, fought fiercely in the air.

Although, the quality of the British pilots is very strong, and the pilots of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Corps are all novices in comparison. However, these recruits, in the battle with the Japanese army air force, have developed excellent skills, so that they will not fall behind in the face of the British air force.

Moreover, because the fighters obtained by the anti-Japanese salvation army air force are all the latest models. After the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force defeated the Japanese Army Air Force and gained air supremacy over Burma, the Americans stopped importing fighter planes to the British Air Force in India. The British Air Force was equipped with fighters, mainly P-40 fighters, P-47 fighters and P-51A fighters.

From the point of view of performance, the P-51B fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force naturally have a relative advantage.

This made the British Air Force menacing, but it was simply unable to break through the interception of the fighter units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force, and on the contrary, fighters were constantly shot down.

In particular, those bombers became the main targets of the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force.

One bomber after another was shot down and crashed into the forest, where it exploded and caused a fire.

Eventually, the British Air Force had to abandon the offensive because of the heavy losses. But even so, the British Air Force launched several attacks in the follow-up. However, under the strict defense of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they were still unable to seize air supremacy. On the contrary, because of the heavy losses in the air battle, the ability to attack was lost.

Throughout the battle, the airspace over Burma was always in the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army Air Force. However, in order to avoid provoking the Americans too much, the Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army did not cross the border to attack. This makes the attitude of the Americans, in this conflict, always biased towards the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the British are actively stirring up trouble. And the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has always been in passive defense.
