?Buldir Island is a small island located between the Neal Islands and the Rat Islands. The maximum length of this island from east to west is about seven kilometers, and the maximum width from north to south is about five kilometers.
The center of the island is a mountainous terrain, and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat terrain. For such a small island, the Citi Army built a temporary field airport around it, and parked a brigade of thirty-two fighter jets on it.
And today, the morning of September 18, 2003, more than 70 BF109 fighter jets arrived here. Their mission today is to clear out these thirty-two Mustang fighters from Citigroup.
And just when more than 70 BF109 fighters were welcomed to Buldir Island, the radar deployed by Citigroup on the Rat Islands immediately showed that a group of enemy aircraft appeared in their western airspace.
Citigroup Mustang fighter jets began to take off in an emergency, and at the same time, news that China had begun its air offensive again also reached Eisenhower¡¯s headquarters.
Eisenhower Command Headquarters
"Sir, the Chinese dispatched about 600 fighter planes and flew towards the Rat Islands. In addition, our 32 Mustang fighters on Buldir Island were cleared by them!"
Lovell put down a telegram in his hand, turned to look at Eisenhower and said.
"Damn it! These Chinese people launched an attack so quickly. It seems that the failure of Attu Island not only caused us to temporarily lose the support of the navy, but also gave China a springboard!"
The range of the bf109 fighter plane is too short. During the previous battle on Attu Island, the bf109 fighter plane could not get involved at all. There is a powerful air force but it cannot be used.
Now that Attu Island has been captured, the BF109 fighter jets finally have a place to be used, and the more than 1,500 BF109 fighter jets can finally participate in the war.
"Have all our frontline fighters taken off?"
Eisenhower asked after cursing.
"Everyone has taken off. Even the P-47 fighter jets on the Andreanov Islands have taken off."
Lovell said.
Two hundred kilometers east of the Neil Islands and more than 60 kilometers west of the Rat Islands, in an airspace very close to Buldir Island, a large-scale air battle broke out between China and the United States again.
Citigroup dispatched P-51 Mustang fighters and P-47 Thunder fighters, and China dispatched BF109 fighters, FW190 fighters and Falcon fighters.
The world¡¯s top fighters all appeared in this air battle.
The sky is filled with fighter jets that are constantly rolling, diving, climbing, and circling.
Countless aviation machine gun bullets flew across the sky, and white umbrella flowers floated in the sky. In the sea below, some destroyers and light cruisers were waiting below.
None of these warships fired anti-aircraft fire because their purpose was simple, to salvage their own pilots. Of course, they would also salvage enemy pilots if they saw them.
¡°It¡¯s just that, after being salvaged, it means that the enemy will have one less pilot.
For China and Citi, fighter planes are not important. Both sides produce large amounts of fighter planes. The important thing is the pilot, the pilot is the key.
At this time, China's Falcon fighters have not yet appeared. They seem to be hiding somewhere, waiting for something.
The air battle was still going on. From the morning until noon, fighter planes changed batch after batch.
With no fuel or ammunition, they all began to return to replenish fuel and ammunition, whether it was China or Citigroup.
The air battle between the two sides was in full swing. Burning fireballs often appeared in the sky, which was the scene of fighter planes being blown up in the air.
Citi Army¡¯s P-47 Thunder fighter is indeed very strong. Although its flexibility is not as good as any fighter here, its armor protection is indeed very strong.
¡° Many thunder and lightning fighters have dozens of bullets in their fuselage, but because they did not hit the vital parts, they were able to return home successfully.
In the midst of this air battle, the time slowly reached two-thirty in the afternoon.
At this time, both Chinese pilots and Citigroup pilots seemed a little tired at this time.
After all, they have been fighting for several hours, and the pilots are very tired, and they are not iron men.
And just when they were getting tired, a group of enemy planes suddenly flew out of the clouds over the western part of the combat airspace.
"China's new fighter plane!"
A horrified voice came from the mouth of a Citigroup pilot.?.
¡° Then many Citigroup pilots looked up and saw hundreds of new Chinese fighter jets diving at high speed.
"Escape~"
A shrill voice sounded.
"Boom~"
Immediately afterwards a huge explosion sounded in the sky.
A climbing P-47 Thunder fighter was directly hit by a volley.
"Oh buy it! The P-47 fighter plane was blown up by the volley!"
An incredible voice sounded. In the minds of the Citi Army, the P-47 has always been synonymous with tenacity. They have never seen a P-47 fighter jet that was blown up in the air.
But today they saw it. Four cannons hit the P-47. No matter what kind of fighter you are, you can't withstand such damage.
"The hunting operation begins! There is a hunting of its own, and all Citigroup fighter planes must stay here!"
A voice sounded in the Falcon fighter's channel, and then the Falcon fighter formation began to disperse.
They used a very high dive speed to target a Citizen fighter, whether it was a Mustang or a Thunderbolt, and they would beat them up if they caught it.
There were constant exclamations and explosions in the Citi Army channel. The Falcon fighter is indeed powerful. It is equipped with four 20mm cannons and four 12.7mm aviation heavy machine guns.
Its firepower is not inferior to the eight 12.7mm heavy machine guns of the Thunderbolt fighter. [The P-47 Thunderbolt fighter, its D model is the key equipment fighter of the Citi Army. More than 10,000 of this D model were produced. It has eight aviation machine guns. The six-pointed ones are other models! If you don¡¯t believe it, you can check the information. ¡¿
Night began to slowly fall, and there were no more fighter planes fighting in the airspace, and both sides had retreated.
What is left are floating objects on the sea and some sinking fighter planes.
The ships on the sea were still salvaging the pilots, and both sides had a tacit understanding and did not open fire.
¡°Today we were shot down 152 BF109 fighters, 160 FW190 fighters, and 23 Falcon fighters.
One hundred and five pilots were killed and 32 pilots were captured. The remaining pilots were rescued, but more than 40 pilots were seriously injured. It is not yet known whether they can return to service. "
A staff officer stood behind Wu Yong and reported their statistics.
Wu Yong stood in front of the glass window, a flash of pain flashed across his face, but he did not show it.
Today, more than 300 fighter planes were shot down, more than 100 pilots were killed, and some were captured. It can be said that the loss this time is not small.
¡°What about Citigroup¡¯s losses?¡±
"Roughly more than 600 Citigroup fighter planes were shot down. We don't know the specific data. However, we also captured more than 40 of their pilots. We can't calculate the specifics!"
Wu Yong picked up the water glass and drank the water slowly. After a while, he said: "Report these losses to the Air Force Ministry! The losses this time are really not small. Fortunately, the losses of our Falcon fighters are not large."
"yes!"
¡°Today we had 672 fighter planes shot down, including 370 Mustang fighters and 302 Thunder fighters.
Two hundred and eighteen pilots were killed and forty-five pilots were captured. Many of the pilots we rescued were injured.
Whether they can finally re-enter the army and serve in the army is currently unknown! "
The same report sounded in Eisenhower's command post. Eisenhower sat on a chair, gently stroking the data file given to him by his staff.
This is the casualty result calculated today. He felt his heart aching. Six hundred and seventy-two fighter planes were shot down in one day.
Fortunately, the country has sent reinforcements to him with fighter planes, otherwise just one day of air combat today would have been enough for him to lose his air supremacy.
But even so, he couldn't bear this loss. This loss is so great that even Citigroup feels heartbroken when facing this loss.
"The losses are so great. If China is having such an air battle with us every day, do you think we at Citi can withstand it?"
Eisenhower said softly.
"Our losses today are not small, but China is not much better. Our main loss today was in the afternoon, when they suddenly arrived with more than 500 new fighter jets. Nearly half of our losses occurred in the afternoon."
Eisenhower's chief of staff, Lovell, stood beside him and said.
The four cannons mounted on the Falcon fighter jets caused the most damage to them, especially heavy fighter jets such as the P-47 Thunder fighter.
Originally, the losses of the P-47 Thunder fighter were not large. After all, the aviation machine guns of the BF109 fighter were not large in caliber.
But the Falcon fighter that appeared later posed a great threat to the Thunder fighter. There were many scenes of the Thunder fighter being blown up in the air.
"New fighter planes! New fighter planes! How many air battles have we lost to their new fighter planes?"
Eisenhower clenched his fists tightly. Back then, the Japanese Zero fighter jet became a nightmare for the Citi Army for a period of time. However, he did not expect that now, China has released a new fighter jet that will become a nightmare for the Citi Army again! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?, causing them the greatest damage, especially when even heavy fighter jets such as the P-47 Thunder fighter cannot withstand it.
