On February 12, 4638, the Imperial Army's three-way army was approaching less than 300 kilometers from Coba. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBecause of this distance, it is still within the combat radius of the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy. Therefore, the US-Australian coalition still did not make any moves.

However, the fact that the US-Australian coalition has not acted does not mean that there will be no action on the part of the Empire. The fighters of the Imperial Air Force have all been stationed at the front-line airfields in Australia. The Imperial Army would ensure control of air supremacy before a major war. Therefore, after consulting with the Eastern Front Command, the Imperial Air Force decided to launch an attack on the US Army Air Force and seize air supremacy.

In Brisbane's temporary command on the Imperial Eastern Front, Lieutenant General Shen Shaoyue of the Imperial Air Force was personally responsible for directing this operation.

"Commander, this time, the Imperial Air Force plans to put in four wings of fighter planes, one wing of dive bombers, one wing of ground attack planes, and one wing of medium bombers to launch an attack on 20 airfields of the US Army Air Corps to ensure the complete destruction of these airfields, destroy the US roadbed aviation, and seize air supremacy in one fell swoop." Lieutenant General Shen Shaoyue said.

Prior to this, the Imperial Air Force had dispatched a large number of fighter jets to reconnoiter the deployment of the U.S. Army Air Force. The location of the front-line airfields of the US Army Aviation has been basically figured out. Make sure that the Imperial Air Force can take out these American airfields in one fell swoop when it launches an attack.

"Attacking so many airfields at the same time, do we have enough fighters?" Marshal Cai Songpo asked. The Americans have suffered losses in this area many times, so they will certainly not be defenseless. If the Imperial Air Force wanted to launch a surprise attack, it would not be so easy to succeed. In addition, attacking so many airfields at the same time is too scattered, which will also make the attacking forces scattered, so that there is a lack of complete destruction of these airfields.

"Commander, we have thought it through. Therefore, in addition to seizing air supremacy, some fighters escorting bombers and ground attack aircraft will also carry small bomblets. It is used to launch an attack on ground targets. Lieutenant General Shen Shaoyue said.

Marshal Cai Songpo nodded, but he was still a little worried: "Contact the navy and send some fighters from the navy's carrier-based aircraft to assist us." In this way, we will have more troops. ”

"Yes, Commander." Lieutenant General Shen Shaoyue nodded. Since Marshal Cai Songpo had this request, they could only carry out the order.

The Imperial Air Force and the Navy communicated with each other, and the Navy promised to provide 120 dive bombers and 120 torpedo attack planes to assist the Air Force in this operation. Torpedo attack aircraft will carry out horizontal bombing, carrying bombs weighing up to a ton, to bomb the airfields of the US military. In this way, there is no doubt that the bombing power of the Imperial Air Force in launching this combat operation will be greatly increased.

Two days later, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Navy arrived at the front-line airfield in Australia. The Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation, ready for battle, could attack at any time according to the predetermined plan.

On February 16, 4638, the Imperial Air Force and Naval Air Force launched an air raid on the front-line airfields of the U.S. Army Air Corps in order to seize air supremacy in Australia.

For this operation, the Imperial Air Force dispatched 480 fighters, 120 dive bombers, 120 ground attack planes, and 120 medium bombers. The Navy dispatched 120 dive bombers and 120 torpedo attack aircraft. The total number of sorties reached 1,080, which is twice the number of all US Army Air Corps fighters in Australia.

At the front-line airfields of the Imperial Air Force, ground crews are working hard to refuel the planes and prepare them for takeoff. The pilots of the Imperial Air Force, on the other hand, were listening to combat briefings. The U.S. Army Air Corps had a total of 20 front-line airfields, and in order to destroy these airfields of the U.S. Army Air Corps in one fell swoop, the Imperial Air Force and Naval Air Corps had to assign combat missions to ensure that every airfield was hit, and preferably destroyed.

Of course, if one operation fails, the Imperial Air Force and the Marine Corps will have to take a second or even a third action.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the planes of the Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation, with the help of ground crews, began to launch. The propellers began to spin rapidly, and the plane rushed onto the runway, eventually into the sky, heading west.

More than 1,000 fighters were divided into 20 groups, each of which had 24 fighters, 10 dive bombers, 5 ground attack aircraft, 5 torpedo attack planes for horizontal bombing missions and 5 medium bombers. Among them, half of the 24 fighters escorted also had small bomblets hanging under the wings. This can ensure that when they launch an attack, they can drop bombs to bomb the runway of the US military airfield and destroy the runway, so that the fighters of the US Army Air Force cannot take off smoothly.

More than a thousand warplanes of the Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation took to the skies to fight, and it was almost impossible to carry out such a large-scale military operation that it would be almost impossible to keep it completely secret. Therefore, this time, the Imperial Air Force and Naval Aviation are not ready to launch a sneak attack at all, but intend to use real strength to defeat the US Army Air Force and seize air supremacy.

"Oh God! With so many planes and so many planes dispatched by the Chinese, do they want to blow up the entire US-Australian coalition? An Australian herder looked at the sky with a look of horror.

Then he took down a small radio station from his horse and immediately sent a telegram.

Soon, within the intelligence services of the US-Australian coalition, a telegram was translated.

"Damn, the Chinese dispatched a large number of planes, they want to destroy our air force!" A major general officer in charge of the intelligence of the US-Australian coalition said with a dark face.

He immediately grabbed the telegram and went straight to Admiral MacArthur's office to report this important information to Admiral MacArthur.

"Your Excellency Commander, our intelligence officers have discovered that the Chinese planes are making a big move, and their target must be our front-line airfield, wanting to destroy our air force." Major General reported to Admiral MacArthur.

"****, what are you doing in a daze? And not to hurry up and warn the army aviation so that they are ready for battle. Admiral MacArthur yelled.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The Major General immediately went to deliver the message.

Looking at the back of the major general leaving, Admiral MacArthur's face became very ugly: "Damn Chinese, is this what you have been preparing for?" In order to seize air supremacy, you did not hesitate to waste so much time and transfer so many planes. ”

"Woo! Woo! ”

Piercing sirens sounded at various airfields of the US Army Air Corps, a large number of pilots were rushing to their planes, and air defense units were also rushing to their air defense positions, preparing to defend themselves against the impending attack of the Chinese Air Force and Navy Air Force.

"Take off, take off immediately, the Chinese's plane has already come, if you don't want to be blown up at the airport, take off immediately." An officer of the U.S. Army Aviation Corps said loudly to the pilots.

"Sir, but the performance of the Chinese fighters is too terrifying, even if we take to the air, I am afraid we will not be able to beat them." If it is shot down at that time, it will still be a dead end. One of the pilots said worriedly.

"If that's the case, then you're ready to sacrifice your life for your country." The officer said with a cold face.

There is no doubt that after previous battles, most of the pilots of the US Army Air Corps knew that the Chinese were not easy to deal with. Therefore, many US military pilots are reluctant to take to the skies to fight.

Despite their reluctance, the US pilots had no choice but to take to the skies to fight. They were also unwilling to be destroyed on the ground by the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, which was also an unforgivable shame for their words.

One after another, the fighters of the US Army Air Corps took to the air, and under the guidance of the ground-to-air search radar, they began to fly in the direction of the Chinese Air Force's attack. The pilots of these fighters know that they are no match for the Chinese Air Force. However, they could only pray to God that they would be able to save their lives.

The battle began at 8:40 a.m., when the fighter units of the Imperial Air Force, which had advanced more than 100 kilometers in front of the bombers, spotted the American fighter jets taking off. These fighters, who did not hang bombs under the wings, immediately rushed up and began to fight with the American fighters.

"Da Da Da!" Two 12.7-mm aviation machine guns on the wing began to fire, tracer shells pulled two bright white lines in the sky. And where the two white lines meet, there is a P-36 fighter jet of the US military.

The machine-gun bullets hit the US fighters, leaving a row of bullet holes. Although, aviation machine gun bullets are not as powerful as machine gun shells. However, against these fighters, it is still enough.

The P-36 fighter, because the wing was broken in half, immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground.

One after another, the US fighter planes were beaten and fell, like turkeys that were on fire.

"Oh God! The Chinese fighter killed it. The frightened shouts of countless American pilots rang out over the radio channels and reached the ears of other pilots.

The cluster of US fighter planes in the sky immediately scattered in all directions, like a flock of frightened birds.

The fighters of the Imperial Air Force swooped down from a high altitude, like a goshawk preying on prey, and killed the fighters of the US army. (To be continued.) )
