#337 - Air Force Resolve
An Dong Air Base.
The command post was a scene of bustling activity.
"Chief, let me go! I've been training for three months and I'm ready for the battlefield! We can't let the rogue eagle's air force flaunt its power over our troops!" Ye Yaoqiang and more than twenty newly arrived pilots surrounded Guan Shen, the aviation regiment commander, pleading for battle assignments.
Due to the heavy losses in the first battle, with over twenty warplanes destroyed, although most of the pilots were rescued, these pilots who had just been shot down couldn't be immediately sent back to the battlefield.
After all, these pilots who had narrowly escaped death needed time for psychological reconstruction, even though they were all very brave.
They didn't flinch in the face of the enemy.
Therefore, more than twenty new pilots were quickly transferred from the rear aviation school to fill the gap.
However, Guan Shen still had some concerns about these newly graduated pilots.
Their opponents all had several years of combat experience. Air combat was unlike anything else; experience was crucial. The current fighter jets were almost identical to those of the rogue eagles. The key was experience, courage, combat skills, and tactical coordination!
This batch of new recruits had nothing but courage!
"Everyone, quiet down." Guan Shen looked at the excited pilots, feeling both gratified and saddened. If only they had two more years, if these new recruits had two more years to hone their skills, things would be different.
"Listen to my command, attention!"
After Guan Shen stood up and issued the order loudly, the chaotic scene immediately began to form lines unconsciously, quickly forming two neat rows!
Orders were strictly enforced!
The Dragon Country Air Force was now a truly regular army. Many things had been instilled into the pilots' instincts!
"I understand your feelings, but the battlefield doesn't allow for sentimentality, and it can't be won with just passion." Guan Shen stood in front of these young men, most of whom were talents selected from university students who hadn't even graduated.
Most of them were not yet 20 years old!
"Starting today, each of you will train for more than two hours every day. We will select the top three with the best training results to go into battle as wingmen for the squadron leaders in the combat squadrons! Do you all understand?" Guan Shen shouted loudly!
"Understood!" Ye Yaoqiang and the other new members shouted in unison.
"Good, now dismiss and prepare for training!" Guan Shen waved his hand.
Although the trainees didn't achieve their goal of everyone going to the battlefield, the regiment commander had given them a chance. Now, they had become competitors, with only the top three having the opportunity to fight. Although this condition was harsh, none of the trainees present were willing to admit defeat?
"Chief, Li Yunlong and the others reported that they have completed the combat plan to attack the rogue eagle's 24th Division and John Bull's 57th Brigade, and are preparing to launch an attack at 9 pm tonight, using the night to avoid the rogue eagle's naval and air superiority, and use night battles to eliminate these two leading main forces of the rogue eagle's coalition forces," the brigade commander said to the commander of the Supreme Command.
"But we must be prepared for a tough battle. Comrade Ren has repeatedly emphasized that the rogue eagle's main force is not easy to fight. The rogue eagle's 24th Division in front of us, according to the feedback from the Northern People's Army, they had a head-on confrontation with them in Daejeon and the Nakdong River, and they were very tenacious. Even with the division commander captured and a main regiment annihilated, they were able to persist in combat until reinforcements arrived. This combat will is almost the same as our army. Compared to the Southern Army's puppet army, they are not on the same level at all."
"I estimate that Li Yunlong and the others won't be able to take down the 24th Division in one night."
"What do you need us to do?" The commander of the Supreme Command glanced at the brigade commander, as if he had already seen through his little plan.
"Chief, we have no way to help on the sea," the brigade commander smiled slightly, not hiding his true thoughts, "But in the air, I estimate that this will be a real tough battle. We have concentrated more than a hundred warplanes near the war zone, and I hope that all of them will be dispatched this time to fully escort Li Yunlong and the others! Ensure that the air is not disturbed by the rogue eagle's air force."
"We were too conservative in the first air battle. If the entire army had gone up together, the results might have been better."
The air force was not under the command of the brigade commander, but directly under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Command.
But the brigade commander clearly had a great influence on the Supreme Command.
The commander of the Supreme Command looked at the map, pondering for a long time.
"Old Chen, if we reveal all our cards at once, especially in the first stage of the battle, are we exposing our strength too early?"
The commander of the Supreme Command said slowly.
This is not surprising. After all, we have always been bullied in the past century, and most people still have the image of us as the sick man of East Asia in their minds. Otherwise, General MacArthur would not have turned a deaf ear to our statements and warnings this time,"
The brigade commander said with a wry smile, "In fact, it's not just them, even within our own ranks, there are not many people who still turn pale at the mention of the great powers. Frankly speaking, for us at this stage, this is an advantage. Now, even if we wipe out three divisions of their Southern Army's puppet army, the coalition forces, especially the rogue eagles, have obviously not taken all of this to heart."
"If they were truly alert, John Bull's 57th Brigade and the rogue eagle's 24th Division should have shrunk back to Anju and Kasan to switch to defense. I don't believe they haven't received the results of the three divisions of the Southern Army, but now we haven't seen any movement from the enemy, obviously still holding on to a fluke."

"For us, this is a rare opportunity. Eating up this division and brigade that are sticking out, although it can't be said to reverse the situation, but as the first stage goal, our results are enough. At least it has exceeded expectations and can give the people of the country a strong sense of confidence."
"With this result, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong can stand firm on the Anju-Kasan line, waiting for our second echelon to enter Gusan and Nyongbyon, replenish supplies, and then launch another attack! The western front will be stable! Next, we can push Kong Jie's eastern front to the Changjin Lake and Hamhung area."
As the brigade commander spoke, the commander of the Supreme Command looked at the map. The brigade commander's idea was a bit bold, but the commander of the Supreme Command himself was not a conservative person. Now that Li Yunlong and the others had fought several battles with good results, it didn't seem like a bad thing to be a little bolder and clash with the main force of the coalition forces near Gusan.
It's just, this air force
The commander of the Supreme Command felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of the losses in the first battle.
You must know that the entire air force now has only more than a thousand aircraft. How many air battles can be fought if the losses continue like this?
According to the last battle damage, if all the more than one hundred front-line fighters are pressed on this time, wouldn't nearly half of them be lost?
Before a few battles are fought, the air force on the front line will be exhausted first. How will we fight next?
Although nearly half of the country's warplanes are now concentrated in the Northeast, and there are still four hundred or so warplanes at second-line airports such as Huanglongfu outside the front line, it is impossible to lose all of the air force's foundation in this battle on the peninsula.
You must know that the rogue eagle family has a large business and a large family, and they can completely afford to exchange one for one at the limit, but we can't.
Now that the country's territory is so large, who knows whether the southeast coast, which is completely exposed to the rogue eagle's fighter combat range from the peninsula and the Japanese mainland, who knows or who dares to guarantee that the rogue eagles, when their eyes turn red, will not extend to our mainland?
So we still have to leave some family fortune to guard the home.
This determination is really not easy to make!
