Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Daxia's two fleets headed towards the Sakura Kingdom, one from the south and one from the north.

In Sakura Country, the pressure suddenly doubled.

But at this time, it was too late to say anything. Sakura Country could only bite the bullet and push forward.

However, at this time, Sakura Kingdom does not want its fleet to go head-to-head with Daxia, after all, the strength gap between the two sides is too big.

At this time, facing Daxia's fleet, Sakura Kingdom could be said to have a narrow escape.

Therefore, they had their fleet jump out of the encirclement before Daxia blocked the Sakura Country.

This can be regarded as Sakura Country exchanging its territory for the safety of its fleet.

There is nothing right or wrong with this approach. After all, the strength gap is too big. Even if the fleet fights to the death, it is still no match for Daxia.

Therefore, the best way is to save the fleet and abandon all cities in the coastal areas.

Once Milician is free, he can form a joint fleet with Milician's fleet and then counterattack Daxia. Only in this way can he have a chance of winning.

But what surprised everyone was that it was not the Daxia Navy that launched the attack, but the Imperial Air Force that took off from Busan.

On May 1931, 5, the day after the transfer of the three Imperial Air Force divisions was completed, Ding Yi ordered the air forces of the three divisions to take off and bomb Fukuoka in Kitakyushu, Yamaguchi, and Shimane in the Sakura Country.

After receiving the order, three divisions and three hundred aircraft were divided into two batches and flew towards the mainland of Sakura Country.

When Daxia's first batch of planes went to seize air supremacy, they flew to the Tsushima Strait and before they reached the mainland of Sakura Country, they were discovered by the Sakura Country's outpost and reported to Sakura Country.

Hearing that Daxia people had sent planes to carry out air strikes on the mainland of Sakura Country, three groups of fighter jets belonging to Sakura Country's Army Air Force scrambled to take off, preparing to intercept Daxia's air force.

The two sides met in an area only twenty nautical miles away from the mainland of Sakura Country.

Then came the first major air battle of World War II.

As mentioned before, the air force strength of the Daxia Empire has always been a mystery, and the outside world does not know the strength of the Daxia Air Force.

After all, Daxia's air force has been training in the northwest region of the empire since it showed its prowess in World War I.

People from the outside world have no way of contacting the Daxia Air Force, let alone understanding the strength of the Daxia Air Force.

I just guessed that Daxia's air force strength should be among the best in the world.

In fact, the Sakura Kingdom already attaches great importance to the strength of the Daxia Air Force. Another batch of interception air fleets, three of them, each group has 96 fighter jets.

Since Daxia only had 300 fighter jets, it was divided into two waves.

As a result, the first wave of fighter jets encountered the enemy in Daxia only had 150, and they flew to three different areas.

This resulted in only fifty fighter jets in each direction, putting them at an absolute numerical disadvantage.

But faced with such a situation, the Daxia Air Force did not have any fear. On the contrary, each of them was very excited.

For example, when the fighter jets of the formation heading to Kitakyushu Fukuoka discovered a group of Sakura Country fighter jets 1500 meters below them in the sky, Gao Zhichang, who was in charge of the pilot, immediately reported to the Busan base through the radio.

After receiving the request from the base to annihilate the Sakura Kingdom's air force, Gao Zhichang slammed the nose of the plane and rushed towards the Sakura Kingdom fighter brigade.

The fighter jets behind him also followed suit and pounced towards the Sakura Kingdom's air brigade.

Since the performance of Daxia's fighter jets is much better than that of Sakura Kingdom, the maximum flying altitude of Daxia's fighter jets is above 1.1 meters.

The Sakura Kingdom's fighter jets are at around 8000 meters.

At this time, Daxia's fighter jets began to swoop from a high altitude, using their high altitude to hit the low ground, instantly unleashing Daxia's maximum firepower.

The 20mm and 30mm cannons fired straight at the Sakura Kingdom fighter group below.

Only after those Sakura Kingdom fighter jets were attacked did they realize that the enemy was above their heads.

While they lamented the superior performance of Daxia's fighter jets, they began to flee in all directions.

However, Daxia's fighter jets not only flew higher than theirs, but also flew faster.

When Daxia's fighter jets flew to the same height as them, Daxia's fighter jets quickly flattened the fuselage of the aircraft, and then quickly rushed towards their respective targets.

At this time, the firepower of Daxia's fighter jets was maximized. As long as they were locked with their cannons, they could easily shoot down the enemy planes.

After seeing their teammates falling continuously, the pilots of Sakura Kingdom realized that it was useless for them to just escape.

Moreover, at this time, this group of pilots had reacted from the initial panic and found that their number was nearly twice as many as those in Daxia.

As a result, Sakura Kingdom's fighter jets also began to prepare for a counterattack.

However, the pilots on Daxia's side discovered that Sakura Kingdom wanted to rely on large numbers of people to suppress them, so they immediately formed a combat formation according to the double wingman team during training.

It has to be said that Daxia's tactics are better. They use double wingmen, that is, every three aircraft form a combat team to cover and attack each other.

This means that as long as an enemy flies into their attack range, when the enemy pursues one of the aircraft, they will inevitably face attacks from two aircraft at the same time.

Relying on this tactic, Daxia's side instantly turned into a huge strangling disk.

Moreover, since the manufacturing process of Daxia fighters is more mature and has better performance than those in Sakura Country, even if the plane is hit by a bullet, it can still fly.

In addition, the weapons on the Sakura Country's aircraft only use 12.7 mm machine guns, so the threat to Daxia's fighter jets is very low.

This resulted in a direct combat ratio of 1:27 in one hour of air combat.

These pilots from Sakura Country are not calm.

Daxia people have good pilot skills and dare to do some difficult maneuvers in the air, so they can easily get rid of them.

Coupled with the good performance and strong firepower of the aircraft, the pilots of Sakura Country became more and more frightened as they fought.

At this time, Sakura Country had not yet reached the extremely fanatical situation that would be seen in later generations, so these pilots did not have the idea of ​​perishing together.

After seeing the huge battle loss ratio between the two sides, the pilots of Sakura Country could no longer stand such oppression, so they began to flee one after another.

The pilots of the Daxia Empire would naturally not be willing to let the other side escape so easily. After all, if these fighter jets escaped, they would also be a threat to the bombers behind them.

Just as the first batch of pilots were preparing to pursue the pursuit, the Busan headquarters asked the first batch of pilots to return collectively, resupply, and cover the bombers to bomb the mainland of Sakura Country.

The pursuit mission will be handed over to the second batch of fighter jets that are approaching quickly.

The first batch of fighter jets who received the order did not dare to neglect and could only start to return.

This time, the first air battle between the two sides, was called the "Air Battle against Horses" in the history of the Imperial Army.
