Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After the air battle against Tsushima, the first batch of fighter jets flew back to the airport in Koryo Province and began to resupply fuel and ammunition.

The second batch of fighter jets had already taken off and began to compete for air supremacy over the target.

As the first batch of fighter jets had replenished their ammunition, they took off directly and began to escort the bombers on the bombing mission.

Half an hour later, the bomber formation flew through the Tsushima Strait, heading towards Fukuoka in Kitakyushu, Yamaguchi and Shimane on Honshu Island.

At this time, the second batch of fighter jets had already seized air supremacy in the next three areas.

Sakura Country has strategically given up control of these three regions.

Because they found that neither the performance of their fighter jets nor the personal abilities of the pilots could compare with the Daxia people.

If this is the case, then there is no need to send people out to die. Some unnecessary areas can only be given up. Arrange all forces to more important areas.

For example, Nagasaki, Kyoto and other places. As for small cities like Fukuoka and Yamaguchi, air defense can only be left to ground forces.

This resulted in Daxia gaining air superiority very easily.

Although the anti-aircraft guns on the ground kept ringing, the threat level was much smaller.

In particular, after the first batch of fighter jets flew over the three cities, there were already as many as 300 fighter jets in the sky above the three cities.

These fighter jets fly at low altitudes to clear ground fire points and attract firepower for the bombers behind them.

Among the subsequent bombers, the first ones to fly over were high school level bombers.

These high school level bombers all flew at an altitude of 8000 meters. When they flew over the city, the belly of the bomber was opened, revealing the bomb inside.

Because this time it was a bombing of a city, not a key facility.

The pursuit was coverage, so this time the bombers carried some small aerial bombs weighing 25 kilograms.

One or two hundred aircraft form a formation, which can be said to cover the sky and the sun.

And the bombs they dropped hit the ground like raindrops.

Suddenly there were streaks of fire on the ground, and the house collapsed in the explosion.

The buildings in Sakura Country are very unique, because most of them are wooden buildings, so they don't have much defense ability during explosions, and they are basically prone to collapse in one explosion.

Moreover, because they are wooden buildings, in some places, houses were even set alight by bombs due to explosions.

Suddenly, fires were burning everywhere in the city.

Those civilians who were still in the city fled in all directions during the explosion.

After the bombers dropped their bombs, they slowly turned and flew towards the airport in Koryo Province.

After Daxia's plane left, the civilians of the Sakura Kingdom walked out of the air-raid shelter and began to carry out rescue operations.

These people thought that this was already their suffering, but what they didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.

More than a month later, the air force on the Goryeo side, following the recommendations given by the Imperial Military Department, carried out a large-scale bombing campaign against the entire Kitakyushu.

Because, according to the opinions given by the Imperial Military Department, the Empire plans to launch a landing on Kyushu Island.

Therefore, the Imperial Air Force needs to carve out a relatively safe area on Kyushu Island.

The best way to open up a safe landing place is to drive away the civilians in the port city.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the Imperial Military Headquarters, the Imperial Air Force in Goryeo began to carry out large-scale bombing of Sakura Country, and concentrated its main force on Kyushu Island.

At the same time, the Imperial Navy's 1st and 2nd combined fleets arrived at the coast of Sakura Country and began to pull out Sakura Country's coastal defense guns one by one in a planned manner.

On May 1931, 5, the First Combined Fleet arrived at Tsushima Island and began artillery bombardment of Tsushima Island. In the early morning of the 6th, hundreds of landing ships set off from Busan Port and headed towards Tsushima Island.

At 7 a.m. on the 9th, the Imperial Army's 117th Division arrived at Tsushima Island and successfully landed.

At this time, stationed on Tsushima Island was a regiment of the 21st Division of Sakura Country, with about 4000 people.

They faced the 117th Division, which had more people than them, better equipment than them, and was supported by battleships.

This brigade decisively abandoned its seaside defense line and retreated to the fortress on the North Island of Tsushima Island.

In fact, Tsushima Island is still very important to Sakura Country, because it is located in the Tsushima Strait and can monitor aircraft flying from the Koryo Peninsula.

The day before, the garrison on Tsushima Island reported to Sakura Country, giving Sakura Country time to react.

If Tsushima is lost, Sakura will lose its early warning point.

At the same time, the Empire can establish an airstrip on Tsushima Island to provide early warning for the airports on the Koryo Peninsula behind it.

Therefore, Tsushima Island is actually a very important point for both parties.

The Sakura National Military Headquarters requires that the regiment stationed on Tsushima Island must defend and not retreat.

In fact, the regiment stationed on Tsushima Island was very clear about Sakura Country's order to let them defend, which was tantamount to abandoning them in disguise.

However, due to the honor of the military and the fact that they were brainwashed by the senior officials of Sakura Country, all the soldiers in this regiment were determined to defend Tsushima Island.

Since Sakura Country retreats to the mountains in the middle of the island, the landing of the 117th Division can be said to be very easy.

This easy landing did not make the people of the 117th Division feel relaxed, because they knew very well that the current ease meant that the subsequent attack would be difficult.

However, this was not difficult for the 117th Division. Under the leadership of the commander of the 117th Division, the 117th Division was divided into three combat units and moved forward in a flat shape to search for the North Island.

At 7:4 pm on the 30th, the two sides met at the southern end of the Beidao Mountains, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out.

It has to be said that this time Sakura Country has a geographical advantage. They are more familiar with the terrain than the people of the 117th Division.

Hiding in big trees or bushes, they suddenly launched an attack, causing the 117th Division to suffer a small loss and injuring more than 100 people.

Seeing that it was getting late, he thought that if he launched an attack overnight, he might suffer greater losses, so Gu Tianxiang, the commander of the 117th Division, ordered the troops to withdraw and build defenses at the landing site.

The 117th Division now has the upper hand, so Gu Tianxiang is not in a hurry at all.

He knew very well that on an island like Tsushima, where almost the entire island was covered with dense forests, if the enemy was underestimated and entered rashly, the consequences would be serious.

What he needs to do now is to build a strong defensive point, and then rely on this defensive point to advance north bit by bit.

At the same time, by the next day, the Korean air force and the warships on the sea can provide them with support. There is no need to risk the lives of soldiers and let the soldiers underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.
