Chapter 337 Air Force Determination

Andong Air Base.

The headquarters was in an uproar.

"Commander, let me go! I have been training for three months and am fully capable of going to the battlefield! We cannot let the Rogue Eagle's Air Force show off its might over our troops!" Ye Yaoqiang and more than 20 newly arrived pilots surrounded the aviation regiment commander Guan Shen and asked for a fight.

Due to the heavy losses in the first battle, more than 20 fighter planes were destroyed. Although most of the pilots were rescued, these pilots who had just been shot down could not be directly allowed to return to the battlefield.

After all, these pilots who escaped death still need time to rebuild psychologically, even though they are all very brave.

Never back down in the face of the enemy.

So more than twenty new pilots were quickly mobilized from the aviation school in the rear.

However, Guan Shen still had some concerns about these newly graduated pilots.

The opponents they face are all old birds with several years of combat experience. The Air Force is different from other things. Experience is really important after taking off. There is almost no difference between today's fighter jets and the Rogue Eagle. What everyone competes on is experience, courage, combat skills, and tactical coordination!
The newcomers nowadays have almost nothing else to show for their talents except courage!
"Everyone stop arguing." Guan Shen looked at the excited pilots, feeling both relieved and sad. If they were given two more years, if this group of newcomers could have two more years to hone their skills, then everything would be different.

"Follow my command, everyone stand at attention!"

After Guan Shen stood up and gave a loud order, the originally chaotic scene immediately began to line up unconsciously, and soon they were neatly arranged into two rows!

Forbidden!

The current Dragon Country Air Force is already a real regular army. Many things have begun to be implanted into the pilots' instincts!
"I understand how you feel. There is no room for any tenderness on the battlefield, and passion alone cannot bring success." Guan Shen stood in front of these immature young men. Most of them were selected from college students who had not yet graduated.

Most of them are less than 20 years old!
"Starting from today, each of you will have to train for more than two hours every day. We will select the top three with the best training results to serve as the wingman of the captain of the combat squadron! Do you understand?" Guan Shen shouted loudly!
"I understand!" Ye Yaoqiang shouted loudly along with other new members.

"Okay, now disband and get ready for training!" Guan Shen waved his hand.

Although the students did not achieve the goal of having everyone go to the battlefield, the team leader has given everyone a chance. Now, everyone has become competitors, and only the top three will have the opportunity to fight. Although this condition is harsh, who among the students on the scene will admit defeat?

"Old commander, Li Yunlong and his men reported that they have prepared a combat plan to attack the Rogue Eagle 24th Division and John Bull 57th Brigade. They are preparing to launch the attack at 9 o'clock tonight. They will use the night to avoid the Rogue Eagle's sea and air advantages and use a night battle to eliminate these two main forces of the Rogue Eagle coalition." The brigade commander said to the chief of the Zhisi.

"But we must be prepared for a tough battle. Brother Ren has repeatedly emphasized that the main force of the Rogue Eagles is not easy to fight. According to the feedback from the Northern People's Army, the Rogue Eagle 24th Division in front of us had fought against them head-on in Daejeon and Nakdong River. They were very tenacious. Even when the division commander was captured and the main force of a regiment was annihilated, they were still able to persist in fighting until reinforcements arrived. This fighting spirit is almost the same as our army. Compared with the Southern Army and puppet troops, it is completely on a different level."

"I don't think Li Yunlong and his men can handle the 24th Division in one night."

"What do you need us to do?" The chief of Zhisi glanced at the brigade commander, as if he already knew what he was thinking.

"Old commander, we don't have any way to deal with the sea right now," the brigade commander smiled slightly, but did not hide his true thoughts. "But in the air, I think this will be a real fierce battle. We have more than a hundred fighter planes concentrated near the war zone. I hope to send all of them out this time to fully escort Li Yunlong and his men! Make sure they won't be disturbed by the Rogue Eagle Air Force in the air."

"In the Air Force's first battle, we fought too conservatively. If the entire army had fought together, we might have achieved better results." The Air Force was not commanded by the brigade commander, but was directly under the jurisdiction of the Zhisi.

But the brigade commander obviously has a lot of influence over Zhisi.

Chief Zhisi looked at the map and pondered for a while.

"Old Chen, the trump card has been revealed all of a sudden, and in the first battle, are we exposing our strength too early?"

Chief Zhisi said slowly.

"Old Commander," the brigade commander shook his head, "Now, we don't have any cards that can be hidden here."

“Due to previous battles, the Rogue Eagles should be very familiar with our army, or those of them who had close contact with us at the beginning are not unfamiliar with us at all. The reason why they haven’t reacted yet is because their five-star General Mike has always been prejudiced against us.

This is not surprising. After all, we have been the target of bullying for the past 100 years. Most people still have the image of us as the sick man of East Asia. Otherwise, General Mike would not have turned a deaf ear to our statement and warning this time. "

The brigade commander said with a wry smile, "In fact, it's not just them. Even within our ranks, there are many people who are still afraid of the great powers. Frankly speaking, this is an advantage for us at this stage. Even if we have wiped out three divisions of their Southern Army puppet army, the coalition forces, especially the Rogue Eagles, obviously still don't take it seriously."

"If they were really on guard, John Bull's 57th Brigade and Rogue Eagle's 24th Division should have retreated back to Anzhou and Kaesong to defend. I don't believe they haven't received the results of the three Southern Army divisions, but now we haven't seen any movement from the enemy, so they are obviously still hoping for the best."

"This is a rare opportunity for us. We can defeat his division and brigade. Although we cannot turn the situation around, our results are enough for the first stage goal. At least we have exceeded expectations and can give the Chinese people a strong confidence."

"With this victory, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong can hold the front line in Anzhou and Kaesong, waiting for our second echelon to enter Kusong and Ningbyon, replenish supplies and launch another attack! The western front is now stable! Next, we can push Kong Jie's eastern front to the Changjin Lake and Hamhung area."

As the brigade commander spoke, the head of the Zhisi was looking at the map. The brigade commander's idea was a bit bold, but the head of the Zhisi himself was not a conservative person. Now that Li Yunlong and his men had fought several battles and were effective, it seemed that it would not be a bad idea to be a little bolder and engage in a confrontation with the main force of the coalition forces near Guicheng.

But this air force
When Chief Zhisi thought of the losses in the first battle, he felt so heartbroken that he almost couldn't breathe.

You have to know that the entire Air Force has only more than a thousand aircraft now. If the losses continue like this, how many air battles can it fight?

According to the losses in the last battle, if we were to send all of the more than 100 frontline fighters into battle now, wouldn’t nearly half of them be lost?
After just a few battles, the air force on the front line was exhausted. What should we do next?
Although almost half of the country's fighter jets are now concentrated in the Northeast, there are still about 400 fighter jets in second-tier airports such as Huanglongfu outside the first-tier airports, but it is impossible to lose all of these air force foundations in this battle on the peninsula.

You have to know that the Rogue Eagles are a big family with tens of thousands of fighter jets. They can easily afford the extreme one-for-one exchange, but we can't.

Our country is so vast now. Who knows if those areas on the southeast coast are completely exposed to the combat range of the Rogue Eagle fighter jets that depart from the peninsula and the mainland of Japan? Who knows or who can guarantee that if the Rogue Eagle gets angry, will the fighter jets extend to our mainland?
So we still have to leave some assets to protect the family.

It’s really hard to make this decision!
