"Xichang City is in front. The Air Force sent a telegram saying that Liu Wencai's troops have set up a defensive position in Zhongba Village, south of Xichang City. There are not many troops. At present, only about one regiment of troops have been discovered, and a large number of cannons have been discovered.”The Chief of Staff of the Third Regiment was in the command vehicle, introducing the general situation of Xichang City to the regiment commander, Bi Song.
Bi Song smiled and said,"It seems that Liu Wencai has brought out all his assets. Where is the Heavy Artillery Battalion now?"”
The regiment chief of staff frowned and said," The situation is not optimistic. Our heavy artillery is too heavy. It's difficult to move. According to the news from the Heavy Artillery Battalion, it will take them two to three days to reach Xichang City!”
The position they built was halfway up the mountain. The tank battalion's BT-7 tanks could not climb up at all. Otherwise, they could break through with a charge. Therefore, he wanted to wait for the heavy artillery battalion to arrive and easily take down the position.
Bi Song was silent for a moment after hearing this bad news. Then, he waved his hand and said,"We can't wait for them. We don't have the time. We have to take down Xichang City before Liu Wenhui's reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, we will face a heavily guarded Xichang City.”
Street fighting could be said to be the most complicated kind of combat environment, especially for a unit like the 1st Red Police Division, which consisted of 60% recruits. Casualties would increase sharply in street fighting, so he had to avoid street fighting.
Moreover, the 3rd Regiment was the main force in the attack on Xichang. This was the 3rd Regiment's first battle. He had to fight a beautiful battle. Otherwise, the 1st Regiment behind them would become a joke.
"It seems that we can only ask for the support of the Air Force. Only then can we minimize our losses!”Bi Song said.
"Will the division commander agree to let the air force take action?" The chief of staff asked with some difficulty.”
Bi Song shook his head and said," No matter what the result is, we have to ask first. Right now, other than the Air Force, there's no better way!"”
.........
In the command center of the First Division of the Red Alert in Yanyuan County, Chu Zian saw the joint report from the commander of the Third Regiment and the Chief Staff Officer. He said,""It's also time for the Air Force to move out. We can't always hide in the mountains and forests. This way, we can't build a powerful Air Force!”
He had high hopes for the air force, and he was willing to spend money on the construction of the air force. He had not used the air force before because it was not necessary. After all, he had the advantage of defense. Coupled with the numerous cannons, defense was not a problem.
Now that the 3rd Regiment was fighting against the enemy's reinforcements, it was a good opportunity for the Air Force to join the battle. He also wanted to see if the Air Force that he had spent so much effort to build could take on a big role.
.........
"Commander, good news. The commander has finally ordered us to move out!”A military officer with a telegram entered the office of Yu Wenyu, the commander of Shuanghe Air Force Base, with a face full of joy.
Yu Wenyu was the second elite soldier of the Red Alert. He was currently the commander of the Red Alert Air Force. As a Level 3 elite soldier, he was very outstanding in terms of command, management, flying skills, and other aspects.
The establishment of an air force was not just about equipping advanced fighter jets. It could be said that the air force's development to its current scale was inseparable from Yu Wenyu's ability.
Yu Wenyu suddenly stood up and said excitedly,""Get the Company Leaders and Company Leaders to the meeting room for a meeting. I want to assign them tasks!”
The meeting lasted less than half an hour. When the tasks were assigned, the air force base's battle alarm sounded in the sky. The air force soldiers, whether they were training or resting, quickly rushed to their respective teams after hearing it.
The ground crew received the mission and began to carry out pre-flight maintenance for the fighter jet. At the same time, they filled the fighter jet with fuel and ammunition.
The airport had two parallel runways that were 1500 meters long. It was enough for all types of aircraft to take off and land. It could accommodate up to 300 fighter jets. It could be considered a standard large-scale military airport.
"This is Fighter 074, requesting to use Runway 2 for take-off!”
On the second runway, the propeller of a FF-109G fighter jet was spinning at high speed. When it received the permission from the tower to take off, it released the brake. The fighter jet slowly glided forward. Then, it slowly pushed the accelerator and the fighter jet began to glide quickly on the runway. After gliding for a few hundred meters, the nose lifted and climbed into the sky.
The airport seemed to have become busy in an instant. Fighters began to take off from the runway.
This time, the Air Force would dispatch three Stuka dive bomber squadrons and the only heavy bomber squadron. At the same time, they would send a squadron of FF-109 fighter jets to escort them. As Liu Wenhui's troops were not equipped with any fighter jets, they did not even have a few anti-air cannons, so there was no need to send fighter jets to escort them.
In this era, there was no specialized ground attack aircraft. It was usually a fighter jet. The most famous one was the P-47 Thunderbolt Fighter. Its ground attack ability was very strong and its survivability was very high.
The FF-109 fighter jet was equipped with two 7.92mm machine guns and a 20mm cannon pod on each wing.
The Red Alert base also gave Chu Zian a big surprise. All the unlocked fighter jets could be unlocked by spending money if they had all the modifications later on. The higher the technical difficulty, the later it appeared, and the higher the cost.
The base's funds were unlimited, so Chu Zian directly produced the FF-109G. This was the most important modification, including other fighter jets.
