Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 182 One-sided Air Combat
At 3014 o'clock in the morning on January 100, 150 in the Tang calendar, at a temporary field airport near the border of the Tang Empire in the Rudi Suk State of the Sharad Empire, Ori, the commander of the First Fighter Wing of the Expeditionary Force of the Inaba Empire, Ah, Shen Sheng said to more than [-] pilots: "Everyone has experienced the battle yesterday. Fourteen of the [-] fighters in our entire wing were destroyed, and the lives and deaths of our fourteen brothers are also uncertain, so Everyone must be careful today, everyone must remember that our mission is to attack and attract the anti-aircraft weapons of the Tang Empire army, cover the bombers and airships, and blow up the artillery positions of the Tang Empire army!"

The [-] fighter jets of the Yingluoba Empire that came to the territory of the Sharad Empire this time were divided into four fighter wings, and the [-] bombers were divided into two bomber wings.

One of the pilots immediately asked, "Captain, is our mission today the same area that we attacked yesterday?"

Captain Oria nodded solemnly and said: "It's still the same area as yesterday. You have all experienced the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower yesterday, everyone must cheer up!"

The words of the wing leader Oria caused more than 100 pilots to complain that the anti-aircraft fire they encountered yesterday was like a nightmare. In fact, what these pilots did not know was that the anti-aircraft fire they encountered yesterday was basically just a nightmare. The anti-aircraft firepower of three battalion artillery companies and one regimental artillery battalion of the Imperial Army of the Great Tang Empire, according to the standard configuration of the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire, each battalion artillery company has twelve Browning M2 anti-aircraft machine guns, each The regimental artillery battalion has 24 20mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns.

Just as Oria, the commander of the First Fighter Wing of the British Empire Expeditionary Force, was speaking to more than 100 pilots under his command, at a place more than 30 kilometers east of this temporary field airport, the Royal Army of the Tang Empire Inside the fortification, Niu Dazhu, who had been promoted to the battalion commander, said to a tall officer with an excited face: "Battalion Commander Meng, you came too timely. Yesterday our battalion suffered a lot from the enemy's planes. The four anti-aircraft machine guns and three 75mm field guns of the battalion's artillery company were also blown up, and I am worried about how to deal with the enemy's planes today!"

Because the original [-] reserve infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire were reorganized into temporary infantry divisions, a large number of officers were needed. Therefore, many officers and veterans were transferred from the field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire to join the new army. The temporary infantry division formed, Niu Dazhu, who had just participated in the military parade at the founding ceremony, was also transferred to the [-]th temporary infantry division of the Royal Army of the Tang Dynasty, and his military position was promoted from company commander to battalion commander.

Although he was transferred from the field infantry division of the main force to the newly formed temporary infantry division, Niu Dazhu was not at all depressed. You must know that the formation of the temporary division is exactly the same as that of the field infantry division. The infantry battalion where Niu Dazhu works consists of three infantry Company, a battalion artillery company, a logistics transportation company, a guard platoon, an engineering platoon, and a battalion headquarters. The battalion artillery company is equipped with twelve 75mm field guns and twelve Browning M2 anti-aircraft machine guns. The entire infantry The strength of the battalion was as high as 200 men.

The tall Battalion Commander Meng smiled and said to Niu Dazhu: "Battle Commander Niu, your regiment commander asked me to bring six 88mm anti-aircraft guns and twelve 40mm double-linked anti-aircraft guns from the Division's First Heavy Artillery Regiment to strengthen your army. The battalion's anti-aircraft firepower, our Division 155st Heavy Artillery Regiment has all come to your regiment's position this time. After the fight starts, you should be able to call the twelve 24mm howitzers and 105 [-]mm howitzers of our Division [-]st Heavy Artillery Regiment at any time. mm howitzers for fire support!"

When Niu Dazhu heard this, his eyes lit up, "Great! With six 88mm anti-aircraft guns and twelve 40mm double-linked anti-aircraft guns, if the enemy planes dare to come again today, they will never return! With you With so many howitzers belonging to the Division [-]st Heavy Artillery Regiment, our battalion's defense should be much easier today."

At this time, an adjutant of the battalion headquarter ran to Niu Dazhu and handed him a telegram, "Battlement commander, the division headquarters is urgent."

After Niu Dazhu took the telegram and read it quickly, he suddenly showed a surprised expression, and the battalion commander Meng next to him couldn't help asking: "Captain Niu, what's wrong?"

Niu Dazhu handed the telegram to Battalion Commander Meng, and said with a smile on his face: "The division headquarters sent a telegram saying that the Royal Air Force of our Datang Empire will join the battlefield today. Let all our departments pay attention, and don't accidentally hurt our Royal Air Force of the Datang Empire." Air Force fighters and bombers."

Battalion Commander Meng hurriedly read the telegram, and also showed surprise, "When will our Tang Empire have fighter jets and bombers?"

Niu Dazhu said with a smile: "The weapons and equipment of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire have always been ahead of the armies of other countries. I think that fighter jets and bombers may have been in the Tang Empire for a long time, but they have not been brought out. You see now But even the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire was established."

Battalion Commander Meng immediately said: "I have to go back immediately, and tell the brothers below to use binoculars to see clearly before firing, and don't shoot down our own plane!"

At 130 o'clock in the morning on January 66th, [-] six Stinger fighter jets of the First Fighter Wing of the Expeditionary Force of the British Empire, escorted by [-] Eagle bombers, flew to the border between the Sharad Empire and the Datang Empire. The border line is ready to find the artillery positions of the Tang Empire army for bombing.

Behind these more than 200 fighter planes, there are 48 airships from the three countries of Noomi, Sharad, and Yingluoba, preparing to continue bombing the artillery positions of the Datang Empire army after the attack of the bombers.

However, just as more than 200 planes from the Inroba Empire were about to fly over the position of the Tang Empire's army, a huge fleet suddenly appeared in the distance. It was obvious that these fighter planes that appeared on the opposite side did not belong to Noomi On the side of Germany and England.

Oria, the captain of the First Fighter Wing of the Expeditionary Force of the Inlobal Empire, saw the Tang Empire fighter jets appearing suddenly, and couldn't help showing a nervous look on his face. He didn't expect the air battle that he was expecting to come so soon. up.

Oria took a deep breath, and quickly gestured to the other fighters that were following his plane, telling all the fighters to face the fighters of the Datang Empire. Stinger fighters did not have direct communication equipment.

On the ground, holding a binoculars, Niu Dazhu saw at least hundreds of planes appearing on his side, and immediately ordered to the adjutant beside him: "Tell the artillery company and the battalion commander Meng of the division's First Heavy Artillery Regiment to stop Shoot in the air and see what happens."

There were [-] Fokker D.VII fighter jets of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire appearing in this area. When they saw the aircraft fleet of the Inlobal Empire appearing in the sky ahead, they rushed up without hesitation.

Soon the fighters of both sides fought together, and then fighters were shot down continuously, and almost all of the fighters shot down were Stinger fighters of the British Empire.

Oria, the captain of the First Fighter Wing of the Expeditionary Force of the Inlobal Empire, was driving his plane and just caught a fighter plane of the Tang Empire, but before Oria could draw his machine gun, the opponent's fighter plane carried out an attack. A difficult folding turn made Oria lose the opportunity to fire.

And soon Oria discovered that his plane had instantly become a prey, and Oria quickly and constantly changed the direction of the plane, trying to get out of the attack range of the opponent's fighter.

However, the performance of the Fokker D.VII fighter is much better than that of the Stinger fighter jets of the British Empire. Although Oria's technology is very good, otherwise he would not be the number one in the British Empire Expeditionary Force. The captain of the fighter wing, it is a pity that Oria did not escape the attack of the Fokker D.VII fighter jet of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty. A series of bullets hit Oria's plane, and there were still a few bullets It directly hit Oria, and finally the stinger fighter Oria was driving lost control and fell to the ground, while Oria was killed by bullets in the air.

You must know that among the First Fighter Wing of the British Empire Expeditionary Force, the wing leader Oria's technology is one of the best. Even Oria was easily shot down by the fighter planes of the Royal Air Force of the Datang Empire. One can imagine the fate of the fighter pilots. In the end, all 130 of the six Stinger fighters were shot down by Fokker D.VII fighter jets of the Royal Air Force of the Datang Empire.

Without the protection of fighter jets, the 66 British Eagle bombers flying at a slower speed also encountered gang fights soon, and all of them also crashed to the ground.

After shooting down all the fighters and bombers of the British Empire, only four of the 290 Fokker D.VII fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty were lost, and the remaining [-] six Fokker D.VII fighters did not evacuate immediately. Instead, it continued to fly in the direction of the Sharad Empire.

Because of the remaining 290 six Fokker D.VII fighters, 48 ​​airships in the three countries of Noomi, Sharad, and Inaba have been discovered in the distance.

The airships of Noomi, Sharad, and Inaba are all filled with aerial bombs at this time, and their flying speeds are basically 189 to 48 kilometers per hour. How can they run at a maximum speed of 48 kilometers per hour? The Fokker D.VII fighter jets, not to mention the airships of Noomi, Sharad, and Inaba, are all filled with hydrogen gas, which can easily be ignited or exploded. The [-] airships of the last three countries have all become One by one, the big fireballs fell to the ground. The result obtained by these [-] airships was only to shoot down a Fokker D.VII fighter.

Niu Dazhu, who watched the entire air battle, saw his own fighter group start to return, slowly put down the binoculars, and said to himself: "It's too cruel, the air defense force can relax in the future!"
