On February 25, on the front line of Tiela Colorada, the Chinese Army's artillery was still shooting the US Highland No. 1. However, after the US airship troops appeared, the Chinese Air Force's airship troops almost never appeared in Tiel.
LaColorada bombed the US military. Because the US airship troops always retain dozens of ships over TierraColorada. Once the Chinese Air Force airship troops appear, they will attack the Chinese Airship airship troops.
At the same time, the main force of the US airship unit in Chilpansingo would also arrive within an hour. Marshal Zhao Bowen, the commander of the Chinese army, was unwilling to let the precious airship be damaged, so he did not require the airship unit to participate in the war.
Even though the airship troops did not participate in the war, the army's artillery was still bombarding the US military. Because the heavy machine guns equipped by the Chinese Army could pose a threat to the US airship troops, the US airship troops could only drop bombs at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters.
The threats posed to the Chinese army and the Japanese mercenaries are very limited.
After the shelling, the Japanese mercenaries continued to launch attacks and continued to consume the vitality of the US military. However, without the bombing of the airship troops, the morale of the US military has rebounded a lot, and it is difficult for the Japanese mercenaries to gain any advantage.
"Marson Marshal, don't the Chinese Air Force's airship troops plan to join the war? If they lose air supremacy, it will be very difficult for the Chinese army to break through the Southern Madre Mountains!" Major General Haynes, the commander of the German Observation Group, asked.
The arrival of the large airship unit brought the air supremacy on the battlefield back to the hands of the US military, which made Major General Haines and other German officers more firmly believe the importance of seizing air supremacy. On the European battlefield, both sides were still fighting.
Trench warfare, while China and the United States have already begun to compete in air force. This makes it difficult for the German generals who think the military is the first. Therefore, Major General Haynes repeatedly sent telegrams to Fal, the Chief of Staff of the German Army.
Kenhein hopes that Germany can strengthen the development of air power. His suggestions have also been recognized by Falkenhein and German Emperor William II. Germany has asked several major German weapons manufacturing companies to come up with new models.
The design plan of the airship is also more concerned about this. The two countries have also carried out the development of airships before, but they have not paid attention to it. The importance of China and the United States on the battlefield has also attracted
They were paying attention. Both countries also came up with plans to build airship troops
"General Haynes, the Americans have gathered hundreds of airships here. According to the information we have obtained, the US military has a group of airships on the way, and there are probably hundreds of them. Although our airships are more mass than those of the American airships.
It is much higher, but the number gap is too large. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, our airship troops will not go to war for the time being. As for whether they can break through the US military's defense line in the Southern Madre Mountains, I have a lot of this.
"Marrior Zhao Bowen said confidently.
"Oh? Then I wonder what measures did the marshal have to counter the US military?" Major General Haines asked. He was very curious about this. The US military has strong fortifications and also has a large number of troops and logistics supplies.
Advantage. Now he has an air advantage. In Major General Haynes's view, it is probably difficult for the Chinese army to break through the defense line built by the US military! He really couldn't understand where Marshal Zhao Bowen's confidence came from.
of.
"Major General Haines, you will know tomorrow!" Marshal Zhao Bowen smiled and did not explain much.
Marshal Zhao Bowen's words made Major General Haynes very puzzled. Has the Chinese army found a way to seize air supremacy? Or, China transported a large number of airships from the country to compete with the US military for air supremacy? However, Mexico left the United States
More recently, with the strong industrial strength of the United States, if you drive at full capacity, you can produce more than 200 or even more airships every month, while Chinese airships need to be transported from the local area. In this case,
If the airship is consumed, it will be difficult for China to compete with the United States. However, Marshal Zhao Bowen is so confident that Major General Haynes involuntarily believed that once the Chinese army had a solution, it was fortunate that the answer will be revealed tomorrow.
, otherwise Major General Haynes would have lost sleep because of this.
On February 26, the weather was clear and there was only a little breeze, which was a good weather suitable for flight. If it were some time ago, the Chinese Air Force's airship troops might have been dispatched and began to bomb the US military's defense line. But now
But the sky was occupied by American airships.
At the field airport in southern Acapulco, forty fighter jets from the 2nd Battalion of the Chinese Air Force's PH Fighter Wing have been assembled and parked at the airport. Ground crews are inspecting the fighter jets before takeoff.
In addition, the airships of the Air Force's airships had already set off twenty minutes ago. This time, the US airships will be dealt with by the Air Force fighter jets, and the airships will continue to bomb the positions. Fighters will escort the airships,
The U.S. airship forces will not pose any threat to them at all.
At 8:20 in the morning, the fighter plane piloted by the captain Major Huang Qiuming first took off from the field airport, and then all forty fighters of the entire brigade took off within 20 minutes. After being marshaled in the air, they began to fly eastward. At this time, China
The airship unit of the Air Force is only more than ten kilometers away from Tierra Colorada. The US airship unit has discovered the Chinese Air Force's airship unit. While sending telegrams to the airship unit of Chilpansingo, it is preparing for air combat.
With the advantage of numerical advantages, the confidence of the US military has also greatly improved.
Colonel Ebout served as the commander of this unit with fifty airships. Although his troops lost 80% of the airships in the last air battle, he was undoubtedly the commander of the US airship troops.
The only one with air combat experience.
Because, at the suggestion of General Pershing, Major General Carter, the commander of the US airship force, added forty airship ships to Colonel Ebout, and asked him to be responsible for the defense and surveillance of the Chinese airship forces over Tira Colorada.
"All airships should be careful, ascend to a height of 1,800 meters, pay attention to the anti-aircraft machine guns on the ground of the Chinese. Send a telegram to General Carter, the Chinese airships have appeared, we need support!" Colonel Ebut ordered.
Once, he didn't have the courage to fight with the current fifty airships and the Chinese Air Force's airship troops. The last time he was defeated, he had to wait at least until the large army arrived before he dared to launch a kilogram.
At 8:50 am, the airship troops of both sides gathered less than five kilometers, and the remaining airships of the US military had already taken off from Chilpansingo and rushed towards Tira Colorada. However, they were going to have an hour.
Only then can we reach the battlefield. Major General Carter, the commander of the US airship force, ordered Colonel Ebout to preserve his strength and not fight against the Chinese airship force.
After receiving the order, Colonel Ebout ordered the troops to retreat eastward and wait for the arrival of the main force.
On the ground, the officers and soldiers of China and the United States opened their eyes wide and looked at the scene in the sky. They were all looking forward to the outbreak of a large-scale air battle. Military observation groups sent by Germany and the Allies were also paying close attention.
All of this. Especially the German observation group, they wanted to see how the Chinese army would regain their disadvantages and seize air supremacy.
At this time, forty FB's Haidongqing, the 2nd Battalion of the 4th Fighter Wing of the Chinese Air Force, were rushing towards Tira Colorada at a cruising speed of 100 kilometers per hour, from Acapulco to Tirako to Tira
It only takes half an hour to La Colorado.
At 9:00 a.m. NO, a group of small black dots appeared in the sky to the west. These small black dots were approaching quickly, but because they were too small and at the same time, the speed was too fast, the US airship saw these
The little black dots approached, but they did not realize the crisis was coming.
At 9:5 am, Major Huang Qiuming of the 2nd Battalion issued an order for free attack. When dealing with enemy fighter jets, in order to ensure safety, he would often take a dual-air formation attack, but deal with these slow
Airship, each fighter can act on its own.
"Huh? What is that?" The crew member on a US airship, watching the little black dot get closer and closer to them, he immediately picked up the telescope. Suddenly, the Chinese Air Force fighter plane was in the US airship crew member's
Seriously clear.
"Airplane! The Chinese plane is here!" the crew shouted. Because planes have appeared on the European battlefield, most of the European planes are used for reconnaissance, and their performance and style are also different from those of Chinese fighters.
This does not prevent the US military from recognizing that this is an aircraft.
"Damn it! The Chinese actually used the plane! And these planes seemed to be difficult to deal with!" Colonel Ebut said with some concern.
At this time, the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets had already spread out and rushed towards the US airship.
The fighter rushed towards the US airship at high speed. When it was several hundred meters away from the US military, the 177mm heavy machine gun on the nose opened fire violently. A series of bullets were fired out, and the US airship immediately became a fireball. After destroying an airship,
The Chinese Air Force fighter jets pulled up the nose and searched for the target again.
At this time, in the sky of Tiela Colorada, there were only fifty US airships, and there were forty Chinese Air Force fighter jets, basically each of which could only get one result, and a few could get the second result.
The airships had no power to fight back in front of the Chinese Air Force fighter jets, and one after another was shot down. The sky of Tira Colorada once again belonged to the Chinese Air Force!
