Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 135 Preparing to Bomb the Combined Fleet

The National Salvation Army's bombers whizzed through the sky like a group of ferocious birds, pouring down huge bombs like raindrops onto the bandits' airport.

These bombs carried the power of death and destruction, ruthlessly destroying the enemy's airport facilities and personnel.

The explosion resounded through the sky, flames shot up into the sky, forming a blazing sea of ​​fire.

The bandits were terrified and fled in all directions, but they had nowhere to escape and could only be swallowed by the power of the bomb.

As time went on, more and more planes from the great powers were shot down.

There was a huge gap in the number of aircraft on both sides. In addition, the aircraft of the National Salvation Army had superior performance, so the aircraft of the bandits and the powerful countries were gradually beaten and fled everywhere.

The fierce battle between the two sides turned into a chase.

Two or three fighter planes of the National Salvation Army appeared in the sky, chasing one or two planes of the bandits or the powerful countries.

The escape of the bandits and the planes of the powerful countries resulted in a large number of casualties.

There were constant crashes of planes from bandits and foreign powers in the sky, but no planes of the National Salvation Army were seen being shot down.

After more than an hour of chasing, the commander of the National Salvation Army Air Force ordered to return due to fuel problems.

After the National Salvation Army's fleet flew away, only the bandits' devastated airport and the wreckage of planes still on fire were left behind.

The bandits' airport in Kyoto Prefecture was once again destroyed by the National Salvation Army's air force. Their planes were severely damaged and at least half of them were lost.

Having lost their airports for landing, the surviving planes of the bandits and the powerful nations made emergency landings on the compacted road.

Several other airports of the bandits were also attacked by the National Salvation Army Air Force. The airports were bombed and the aircraft also suffered heavy losses. Less than half of the aircraft are still alive.

After the National Salvation Army's plane returned, the system's voice also sounded in Lu Tianhao's mind.

"Ding! Destroyed 903 planes of the bandits and the great powers, killed 143 pilots, and earned a total of 20 points."

There are about 1,500 to 1,600 aircraft at the bandits' several airports, including aircraft from the powerful countries and aircraft that the bandits have sent as reinforcements.

This air raid actually shot down more than 900 of their planes. Adding some damaged planes, the remaining planes of the bandits and the powerful countries were probably less than 500.

The bandits and the great powers have lost so many planes, and my own air force will probably also suffer considerable losses.

It didn't take long for the Air Force to report the loss data.

Seven or eight bombers were shot down, and fifty or sixty fighter planes were shot down.

There were forty or fifty damaged bombers and more than a hundred fighter planes that returned with injuries.

Even if more planes were shot down, Lu Tianhao would only feel sad and would not worry at all.

What worries Lu Tianhao are the pilots whose planes were shot down and parachuted. He wonders how they are doing now?

Lu Tianhao also had a glimmer of hope in his heart. The last time a plane was shot down, the pilots who parachuted came back intact in the end.

I hope that this time, these pilots and crew members can escape danger and return safely.

Lu Tianhao has already issued an order to the special agents in Kyoto Prefecture to assist in search and rescue and to safely escort the pilots and crew members out of the enemy-occupied area.

In this air raid on several bandit airports, the National Salvation Army's Air Force achieved an unprecedented victory.

In the command center, Lu Tianhao, Wang Hui and others all had smiles of victory on their faces.

This air strike greatly weakened the air power of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces.

Even if the Huajian Kingdom's joint fleet arrived, with their thousands of carrier-based aircraft, the number of aircraft would only be roughly equivalent to the number of aircraft of the National Salvation Army.

If the aircraft of the bandits and the great powers do not have an advantage in numbers, they will be no match for the National Salvation Army's Air Force.

Du Xiaowei said, "Marshal, after the Huajian country's joint fleet enters the port, can we send the air force to bomb their fleet?"!

Jin Zhichao also echoed, "We haven't destroyed all of the planes at the enemy's land airport, but there are only a few left.

Our aircraft losses are not great, I think we can bomb the Huajian country's combined fleet."

Wang Hui nodded and agreed with the proposal, "Marshal, I also think we can bomb the joint forces of Huajian Country."

Lu Tianhao said slowly, "When the Huajian Kingdom's joint fleet arrived at the port, it was basically dark.

One night was enough time for them to transport the coalition troops and reinforcements of weapons and equipment to the shore.

If we went to bomb again the next day, we would be counterattacked by their anti-aircraft weapons and intercepted by their carrier-based aircraft.

We won't gain any advantage and may even suffer heavy casualties.

Unless we carry out night bombing, we can minimize the losses."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tianhao's eyes lit up. That's right, his B29 Super Fortress has the ability to fight at night.

It is impossible for all the ships of the Huajianguo Joint Fleet to enter the port.

There are so many ships anchored outside the port, forming a densely packed crowd.

The B29 could have dropped a few napalm bombs first. With the light from the burning napalm bombs, it would have been able to basically see the situation below.

At that time, we can launch a large-scale bombing on Huajiang’s joint fleet.

Lu Tianhao expressed his ideas, and after listening to them, Wang Hui and other generals strongly agreed with this proposal.

There is no need to send fighter escort formations to bomb Hua Jianguo’s joint fleet at night.

The National Salvation Army does not have fighter planes specifically for night combat, and the bandits and the great powers probably don't have them either.

Even if they had, their airports had been destroyed, making it difficult for their fighter jets to take off.

Even if Hua Jian's fleet had carrier-based aircraft specifically designed for night combat, it would be too late to take off when being bombed.

After the meeting, Lu Tianhao flew a fighter jet directly to the airport in Dawn City.

This was the first time for a night bombing. Lu Tianhao not only equipped the bomber with napalm bombs, but also some flares.

This air raid resulted in the loss of two B29 Superfortresses and six B17 heavy bombers.

There were no more B17s to be replenished, Lu Tianhao only replenished two B29 Super Fortresses.

Although B17 is 29 points cheaper than B1000, there is a big gap in performance.

Lu Tianhao decided to only preserve the existing B17s and not to replenish them if there were any more losses.

108 B29 Super Fortresses, fully fueled and loaded with several required bombs.

They take off before dark and arrive at their destination to bomb when it gets dark.
