Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 916 Toyoe's Air Command
In terms of integrity, Datang Empire has always been very good.Tang Mo decided not to send troops to join the battle, and the Tang Empire maintained the most basic restraint.

When the butcher fighter jets that Chu State assisted Fengjiang arrived in Fengjiang, the pilots were all elves of the Yangmu Empire.

These elves were originally trained in the flight school of Chu State. After learning that they could personally pilot the "most advanced" fighter jet in the world, they cheered for joy.

This is definitely a unique opportunity: what they got was the supreme VIP experience card, and what they got was the happy feeling of the pilots of the Tang Empire when they abused the food.

It is definitely a happy thing to be able to fly the Butcher fighter jet to ravage the sky. This kind of fighter jet has crushed the previous generation of aircraft of other countries in every aspect.

Even though many countries now have fighter jets with slightly inferior performance, the Butcher fighter still has an absolute advantage in many performance aspects.

When these elf flying apprentices really touched the Butcher fighter jet in Chu State, these elves knew how powerful this aircraft is.

It can fly at a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour in extreme cases, while the speed of fighter jets in other countries is generally below 500 kilometers per hour.

This kind of aircraft can climb to an altitude of more than 12000 meters. At this altitude, the fighter jets of other countries start to breathe.

When manipulating this kind of aircraft to dive in the sky, everyone will have the illusion that they are invincible. Its control is extremely brutal and clumsy, because it can tear everything in front of it to pieces.

"The pilots who fly this kind of plane are happy, they don't even know what failure is." This is the evaluation of the pilot of the spirit after he got the plane in Chu State.

They love this aircraft so much that even after flying it a few times, they understand the behavior of their country paying a lot of money for it.

Worth the money...that's the opinion of the elf pilots, who soar through the skies in these planes, running rampant on the front lines.

Now they know how comfortable the pilots of the Tang Empire are: all fools who dare to challenge are prey, and they are like gods overlooking the entire land.

With the addition of these butcher fighters, the Dahua army in the Hezhe direction had to suspend its offensive and began to pile up as many anti-aircraft artillery as possible around the fragile supply line.

Obtaining air supremacy and being able to use air supremacy are completely different things: what really scares the Dahua Imperial Army is the thousands of ground attack aircraft of the Great Tang Empire, not those who hang bombs the size of two fists under the wings and pretend to attack machine fighter.

Although the Butcher fighter has the ability to attack the ground, this ability is very limited.In other words, the ability of the Butcher fighter jet to attack the ground was actually given to it by the pilots of the Datang Empire.

Air Force fighter pilots generally do not conduct ground attack training. Using fighter jets to lick the ground is actually a waste of air combat pilots-unless they can ensure their own air supremacy, fighter pilots are "overqualified" for ground attack.

This is not to belittle the pilots of the ground attack aircraft, what is said here is that there are special things in the technical industry: it is like letting the pilots of the ground attack aircraft go to air combat, it is not impossible, but not professional enough.

Most of the pilots of Fengjiang's ground attack aircraft are Fengjiang's own pilots, and there are also some "mercenaries" of elf pilots.

These pilots are obviously amateurs, so the 100 Il attack aircraft donated by Chu State for free actually did not perform very well.Two planes were shot down in the first battle, and then two more malfunctioned and crashed, making it a joke for outsiders.

Frankly speaking, the more professional ground attack, the pilots of the Elf fighter jets can't understand it. They can't learn air combat in school. How can it be possible to take into account the ground attack?

The idea of ​​training fighter pilots in all countries is similar: you just learn air combat honestly and it’s over, and the ground attack is handed over to those civil aviation pilots who are transferred to make do.

Because the air combat theories of various countries are drawn up based on their own actual conditions: everyone's air force is not professional, and if they can keep the air supremacy without losing it, they will complete the task.

To put it bluntly, the air forces of various countries are actually attached to the army in essence, and their primary task is to ensure the normal operations of their own ground forces.It is far from rising to the level of launching a campaign-level air offensive like Tang Guo did.

This can be seen from the types of aircraft purchased by various countries: almost all countries have only purchased two types of aircraft: one is a fighter with functional performance, and the other is a medium-sized bomber with less advanced performance.

Here we can clearly see the positioning of these countries' air forces: fighter jets are used to guard the home and maintain air supremacy in the theater; bombers are used to bomb cities, which is equivalent to a kind of in-depth deterrence.

Their use of Air Force aircraft is far from Tang's level, and the model of the aircraft will naturally not have any details-a dedicated ground attack aircraft?Isn't that thing similar to a bomber?
Although the Il attack aircraft lacked professional pilots, these attack aircraft still brought some troubles to the ground operations of the Dahua Army: a dozen Il attack aircraft collided with the armored units of the Dahua Army in a battle, and seven The Dahua tank was destroyed in the battle, and five more were injured. The entire ground offensive ended in failure before it even started.

What Zhao Chen was most worried about happened: After gaining air supremacy, the Fengjiang ground defenders stabilized their position amidst the defeat, and then stopped at a place less than 20 kilometers away from Fengjiang. Steps of retreat.

It is close enough to Fengjiang, and it is even less than 60 kilometers away from the two field airports in the south and north of Fengjiang.

Seeing that as long as the ground troops of the Dahua Empire work harder, they seem to be able to rush into Fengjiang City—but because the air force equipment of the Tang Empire has joined the battlefield, the situation suddenly becomes different.

The follow-up supplies could only be broken up into parts and operated at night because of the fear of the attack of the Il attack plane, which directly affected the total supply.

The Great China Imperial Army had no choice but to stop and wait for follow-up troops to follow up.Even Zhao Chen didn't expect that this wait... would be five days.

It is not without reason that the Fengjiang defenders retreated here and stopped here. Luo Xiao was worried that there would be problems with the defense line to the west, so he mobilized the civilians in Fengjiang in advance to build a simple defense line on the west side.

The mirage mercenaries, dwarf mercenaries, and elf mercenaries who passed by later were all reinforced here.

By the time the Fengjiang defenders retreated here, it was already a small and serious line of defense.

What's more, this line of defense is backed by Fengjiang. In fact, Fengjiang's defenders have no way to retreat: so here Fengjiang's defenders regrouped and once again opened up their posture to block the Dahua troops whose attack was obviously starting to weaken.

As for how many of them were stopped by the Fengjiang defenders, and how many were stopped by the Dahua troops because of difficulties in supplying themselves, only God knows.

……

"What? You were beaten back?" Zhao Yu was frightened when he heard that his troops were defeated at the front line.

He always thought that his main force was on the west side, and if the west side was defeated, wouldn't that mean he was gone?
But Luo Xiao, Qian Jinhang, and Zhao Feng comforted him together, and after explaining some of the situation, Zhao Yu still calmed down.

"We actually still have 10,000+ troops on the western front. Although we were forced to retreat, we were still able to hold the Fengjiang peripheral defense line." Luo Xiao explained.

Qian Jinhang also assured: "I went to the defense line to see it before, and there shouldn't be any problem after ten days of support."

"Ten days?" Hearing this time, Zhao Yu felt that he was not calm again—it was only ten days, how could it be enough?

"Don't worry! Your Highness! After more than ten days, a large number of international reinforcements will arrive. We are not alone and helpless!" Zhao Feng also persuaded at this time.

"About 5 divisions are already gathering here, and they are all very powerful, and they are all first-class main forces. So, don't worry, Your Highness." Xu Guo, the counselor sitting next to Zhao Yu, also spoke at this time up.

Hearing that everyone was very confident, Zhao Yu was relieved a lot, but he still didn't want the battle line to be too close to where he was: "Sir... you say... I, why don't I go to Dongfeng River to live for a few days?" Sample?"

"Your Highness, if you leave Xifengjiang without authorization at this time, what will the soldiers think?" Of course Xu Guo couldn't let Zhao Yu leave Fengjiang, and immediately refused.

"The air force's assistance has arrived, and we have stabilized the line of defense! Everything is still under control, Your Highness can rest assured." Luo Xiao comforted again.

What he said was indeed the truth, faster than the reinforcements of the Dahua army, the defenders of the Mirage Kingdom and the Ice Cold Empire could arrive in a few days, and Fengjiang obviously could defend for a long time.

"Besides, our offensive on the southern front is going well, and we have reached the periphery of Shanping now." Luo Xiao followed up with another piece of good news.

"Very good, very good..." Although Zhao Yu really wanted to say, "What are you doing so far to the south, quickly get those troops back to defend Fengjiang", but he was very self-disciplined and didn't say this.

On the one hand, it was because he did not dare to question such a "consultant" of the Tang Dynasty as Luo Xiao, and on the other hand, it was also because he really had a little fantasy: Shanping!To the south is Guiguang, and to the south of Guiguang is Jiange... the land of Longxing.

It is indeed a good sign to win there... In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yu had already thought of the complete victory in the south from the defeat in the west of Fengjiang River.
