Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1215: Devastating Aerial Battle

At the tense moment of the air strike, a formation responsible for reconnaissance and alert sent an urgent report via radio: "Commander, this is the reconnaissance formation. We have found two enemy fighter formations that are rapidly approaching our air strike formation."

The commander immediately realized the urgency of the situation and responded quickly: "Received, reconnaissance formation, continue to monitor the enemy's movements and keep your distance."

He turned to the fighter squadron channel and gave the order: "First Fighter Squadron, six Hornets, conduct an immediate intercept and prevent the enemy aircraft from approaching."

The Hornet fighter formation quickly adjusted its course, the roar of its engines echoed in the air, and the missiles under its wings were ready, ready to attack the invading enemy at any time.

"Keep in formation," the Hornet leader commanded via radio, "Once you are in range, open fire immediately."

At the same time, the commander continued to issue orders: "The Second Fighter Squadron, ten Flying Swallow fighters, will assist the Hornet Squadron in intercepting and ensuring the safety of the bombers."

The Feiyan fighter formation quickly joined the battle, flexibly shuttling through the air, preparing to outflank the enemy planes and form a siege.

"Flying Swallow Formation," the leader said over the radio, "we will approach from the left wing and cooperate with the Hornet Formation to carry out a pincer attack."

At high altitude, the two fighter formations quickly launched an interception operation, with machine guns and missiles drawing dazzling tracks in the air and heading straight for the enemy planes.

"Enemy planes are within range," the Hornet leader reported, "Fire!"

As the order was given, the fighter jets' machine guns spewed out flames and missiles whizzed out, heading straight for the enemy aircraft formation.

In the sky, the prelude to the air battle has begun. The Hornet fighter and the Flying Swallow fighter formation are heading towards the enemy, ready to intercept the enemy's MiG-01 and MiG-03 fighters.

The Hornet fighter is known for its powerful maneuverability and advanced radar system, and can flexibly perform various difficult maneuvers in the air. They are equipped with medium-range air-to-air missiles and close-range combat missiles, suitable for combat in various air combat environments.

The Feiyan fighter is known for its speed and climb rate. Although its firepower is not as strong as that of the Hornet, it has unique advantages in high-altitude and high-speed interception.

MiG-01 fighters are known for their high speed and powerful firepower, suitable for rapid raids and strikes. They are equipped with long-range air-to-air missiles and can strike enemy aircraft at a long distance.

The MiG-03 excels in maneuverability and durability, is suitable for combat at medium and low altitudes, and is equipped with a variety of air-to-air missiles and machine guns.

In front of the air strike formation, the Hornet fighter formation took the lead in engaging the MiG 01. The Hornet's radar system quickly locked onto the target and launched missiles, heading straight for the MiG 01.

"Target locked, missiles launched!" the Hornet formation leader commanded via radio.

Relying on its high speed advantage, the MiG-01 quickly increased its altitude in an attempt to get rid of the missile's tracking, while launching long-range missiles in an attempt to suppress the Hornet at a distance.

"Watch out," the Hornet pilots responded quickly, performing evasive maneuvers to avoid the incoming missiles.

At the same time, the Feiyan fighter formation approached from the flank and engaged in a dogfight with the MiG 03. The Feiyan's high-speed climbing ability gave it an advantage at high altitudes and quickly suppressed the MiG 03.

"Maintain the altitude advantage," the Feiyan formation leader ordered, "Use speed to suppress the enemy aircraft."

The MiG-03 used its maneuverability to perform flexible maneuvers at medium and low altitudes, trying to escape Feiyan's pursuit and look for opportunities to counterattack.

"Enemy planes are fighting at low altitude," the Feiyan pilot reported, "We need more support."

The commander kept a close eye on the battle situation in the command cabin and coordinated the actions of the two formations via radio: "Hornet formation, continue to suppress the MiG-34, Flying Swallow formation, maintain altitude advantage and fight in coordination."

In this fierce air battle, both sides used the advantages of their respective fighters to engage in tactical games. The coordinated operations of the Hornet and the Flying Swallow gradually suppressed the offensive of the MiG-01 and MiG-03.

"The enemy planes are starting to retreat," the Hornet leader reported, "We have successfully intercepted them."

As the MiGs withdrew, the air strike formation was able to continue advancing towards Khabarovsk, ensuring the safety of the bombers.

As the air strike formation approached, the city's air defense system was fully activated. Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns began to operate, with their muzzles pointed at the sky, ready to fight off the incoming enemy planes.

"Enemy anti-aircraft firepower has been activated," the reconnaissance plane reported via radio, "Anti-aircraft artillery is dense, please avoid it!"

The commander immediately gave orders to all crews via radio: "Attention, all formations, perform evasive maneuvers, maintain altitude and speed, and avoid being locked."

The fighter and bomber formations quickly adjusted their flight attitude, performing serpentine maneuvers and altitude changes in an attempt to avoid the fire from ground anti-aircraft artillery.

"Maintain formation," the commander continued, "Fighter formation, suppress enemy air defense units, and ensure the safety of the bombers."

The Hornet fighter formation quickly lowered its altitude and assumed an attack posture, aiming its machine guns and missiles at the anti-aircraft artillery positions on the ground for precision strikes.

"Target locked, fire!" The Hornet formation leader gave the order, and the missiles whizzed out and headed straight for the anti-aircraft artillery position on the ground.

At the same time, the Feiyan fighter formation provided cover at high altitude to ensure that the bombers could successfully complete the bombing mission.

"Continue to suppress," Feiyan's formation leader ordered, "We must ensure the safety of the bombers."

In the air, the fighter jets' machine guns and missiles exploded sparks on the ground air defense positions, and the firepower of the anti-aircraft guns was gradually suppressed.

&34;Enemy anti-aircraft firepower weakened,&34; the reconnaissance aircraft reported,&34;continue to attack.&34;

"Avoid! Avoid!" the commander's voice rang out on the radio, "At three o'clock, anti-aircraft artillery fire is intensive!"

The Hornet fighter formation responded quickly, with six fighters performing snake-like maneuvers at the same time, dodging the shells whizzing in from the ground. The dense barrage of bullets formed a fire net in the air, trying to block the advance of the air strike formation.

"This is Hornet One," the leader reported via radio, "We have spotted an anti-aircraft position in the southeast, requesting permission to attack."

&34;Authorization to attack,&34; the commander immediately responded,&34;suppressing their fire.&34;

The Hornet fighter jet quickly adjusted its attack angle, and the missiles under its wings whizzed out. A few seconds later, a violent explosion was heard on the ground, and an air defense position was blown to pieces.

"Keep going!" the commander ordered. "Don't give them a chance to reorganize their defense!"

At the same time, the Feiyan fighter formation was circling in the sky, providing cover for the bombers. Suddenly, a dazzling anti-aircraft missile from the ground rose into the sky with a long tail flame.

"Feiyan No. 34, take precautions!" the formation leader shouted.

The Feiyan fighter jet rolled sideways and barely avoided the missile attack. The missile drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally disappeared into the clouds.

"Damn it, they also have anti-aircraft missile systems!" Feiyan's captain cursed, "We need support!"

"Hornet formation," the commander immediately deployed, "two fighters were assigned to help destroy the missile launch site."

The anti-aircraft forces on the ground did not show weakness. More anti-aircraft guns began to fire, and dense shells exploded in the air, forming black smoke clouds. A shell grazed the wing of a Hornet fighter, leaving a clear bullet mark.

"We have to speed up," the commander told the bomber formation, "and get ready to drop bombs once we get into range."

The Lancaster heavy bombers advanced steadily, approaching the target area under the cover of fighters. Explosions on the ground continued, and the roar of anti-aircraft guns and missiles echoed in the air.
