Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 426 Failure

Just above the turbulent and boundless East China Sea, a thrilling air battle is taking place fiercely!

As the powerful army aviation fleet of the Mingdao National Salvation Army quickly entered the battlefield like lightning, the already extremely tense battle situation instantly became more intense.

Nearly 20,000 fighter planes of various types from both sides, like a dense swarm of bees, engaged in a brutal and life-and-death battle in the vast sky.

For a moment, there were roars of cannons and flames shooting into the sky, and the entire sky above the East China Sea seemed to be set on fire by this fierce battle.

Accompanied by deafening explosions.

In the sky, planes kept emitting billowing black smoke after being hit, and then fell straight into the freezing cold sea like kites with broken strings, splashing huge water.

However, surprisingly, the National Salvation Army's army aviation and carrier-based aircraft also suffered fierce attacks from the enemy.

But because their fuel tanks are equipped with a sturdy and reliable sealed protective layer.

Therefore, although a large number of aircraft were shot down, direct explosion and disintegration in the air were relatively rare.

In comparison, the bandits and the multinational coalition's aircraft were not so lucky.

Only a small number of their aircraft had protective layers installed on their fuel tanks, while the vast majority of their fighters were completely exposed to danger.

Therefore, whenever these defenseless planes were hit, they would often cause violent explosions.

The entire plane and the pilot on board were instantly blown to pieces.

The debris and human tissue fell into the sea like raindrops, and the scene was so tragic that it was unbearable to watch.

The fierce battle in the air had lasted for more than an hour.

The deafening sound of gunfire and the roar of engines intertwined together, as if to tear the entire sky apart.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the enemy planes could not bear the pressure and began to turn around and retreat.

However, would the brave pilots of the National Salvation Army let these invaders escape from the battlefield so easily?

They quickly adjusted the fighter's posture, closely followed the enemy plane, and launched a thrilling pursuit battle.

Accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, fighter planes flew across the sky like lightning, chasing the enemy hundreds of nautical miles away.

During the chase, the pilots of the National Salvation Army continued to fire at the enemy planes with their superb flying skills and fearless courage.

Dozens more enemy planes turned into fireballs in the air, dragging black smoke and falling into the vast ocean.

After confirming that the enemy aircraft has fled far away from our airspace.

The pilots of the National Salvation Army then stopped the pursuit and returned triumphantly in their fighter planes.

This unprecedented large-scale air battle resulted in extremely heavy casualties on both the enemy and our side.

Although thousands of National Salvation Army planes were unfortunately shot down, it is gratifying that only dozens of pilots died heroically.

The rest of the pilots who successfully parachuted to escape were quickly rescued and safely boarded the warships because they were close to their own naval fleet.

As for how many planes the enemy lost?

It is not possible to come up with exact statistics at present.

However, judging from the number of enemy pilots captured on the sea alone, the number was already as high as thousands.

It is not difficult to infer from this that the enemy lost at least more than 1000 aircraft this time.

In the eastern waters, the combined fleet of pirates and multinational coalition forces launched a counterattack against the National Salvation Army's naval fleet.

The news quickly spread back to the headquarters of the National Salvation Army.

After receiving the news, Lu Tianhao was extremely anxious. He knew that the situation was urgent and serious, so he gathered everyone and quickly held a crucial meeting.

In the spacious and solemn meeting room, the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water droplets could condense out of it.

Lu Tianhao sat in the first seat. His originally serious face was now even gloomier than the sky before a storm, which was chilling.

Not long ago, a piece of news from Gaojun State exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

It turned out that the bandits and the multinational coalition forces had already launched a comprehensive counterattack, the momentum and scale of which were beyond imagination!

Especially their air force, which brazenly dispatched tens of thousands of advanced fighter jets. The swarms that covered the sky and the sun roared in, giving people an endless sense of oppression.

However, what is worrying is that the National Salvation Army's Air Force had to allocate half of its aircraft to provide support in order to deal with the situation on the southern front.

As a result, the number of aircraft deployed to the Gaojun Kingdom battlefield seemed to be insufficient.

Faced with enemy planes that outnumbered their own by several times, although the pilots of the National Salvation Army were brave and fearless, they were ultimately unable to make up for the huge gap in air power between the two sides.

In this extremely fierce air battle, the enemy and our own fighter planes shuttled back and forth, neither giving in to the other.

There were roars of cannons and flames shooting into the sky. Every moment, fighter planes were hit and crashed, turning into burning fireballs.

Although the brave warriors of the National Salvation Army tried their best, they gradually fell into a passive situation due to their absolute numerical disadvantage.

In the end, after an extremely arduous battle, the National Salvation Army's aircraft suffered its first major defeat in this brutal contest.

After losing the absolute advantage in the air.

The National Salvation Army and local corps located in Gaojun State were suddenly caught in an extremely passive situation.

They found themselves almost unable to move forward, unable to make even the slightest step.

At this difficult moment, the enemy seized the opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack.

For a time, there was continuous artillery fire and smoke everywhere. The frontline positions originally occupied by the National Salvation Army and the local army were lost one after another.

Not only that, in this fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, blood dyed the earth red, and wails resounded through the sky.

Faced with such a serious situation, the National Salvation Army troops in Gao County responded quickly and delivered this shocking news back to the Marshal's Mansion as soon as possible.

At the same time, they urgently sent a request to the Marshal, hoping to get more air support to reverse the current unfavorable situation of the war.

Because only by regaining air superiority can we create favorable offensive conditions for ground forces.

This would give them the opportunity to regain lost territories and ultimately achieve victory.

The problems of Gao County have not yet been properly resolved.

The combined fleet of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces unexpectedly launched an all-round, large-scale and fierce counterattack against the naval fleet of the National Salvation Army!

In an instant, the already solemn and depressing atmosphere in the conference room became extremely tense, as if it was a string stretched to the extreme that could break at any time.

Lu Tianhao, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, had a face as gloomy as the sky before a storm, dark and daunting.

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, a sudden urgent message came into the conference room like a thunderbolt.

Everyone present was shocked and looked at each other, their hearts filled with astonishment and fear.
