After being freed from the melee, other squadrons from the Gensokyo base followed Wang Yu and Luo Yu's fighting style.
These squadrons themselves possess sufficient technology. They had hastily joined the melee because of emergency reinforcements, but because of their carelessness, they were dragged into a battle that made no sense and could not escape.
After Wang Yu and Luo Yu's reinforcements solved the problem they were stuck in, they could free up their hands, turn passivity into initiative, and begin to use the unique fighting style of ace pilots that is not restricted by the type of battlefield.
The balance of victory and defeat in the entire melee was irreversibly tilted.
The pilots from Gensokyo constantly eliminated enemies that were fighting Imperial fighter planes.
Their joining is like opening up a "field of order" in the ocean of chaos, and this field of order will form a gradually expanding whirlpool in the ocean of chaos, bringing more chaotic areas into the scope of order.
This also allows more and more Imperial fighters to return to the battles they are familiar with.
It is no longer a chaotic high-frequency exchange of offense and defense, but a mode of efficient combat in an orderly formation.
If you turn on the God's perspective, you can see that with the addition of the two fighter planes that descended from the sky, a pool of stagnant water that was originally in a stalemate began to flow rapidly, as if the inflow and outlet were artificially added.
The process of air combat changes rapidly. After a small change, the originally fragile balance is suddenly shattered.
Asia's pilots began to decrease rapidly, and they could no longer maintain containment and damage to Imperial fighter planes.
To be precise, the war situation was out of their control.
Finally, after confirming that there was no hope of victory, Asia's command headquarters issued an order to the frontline troops to withdraw across the entire line.
The melee that lasted for an hour cost the Aisians a heavy price.
In this battle, more than fifty of their various fighter planes were shot down by the Empire and turned into fragments on the seabed. A large number of fighter planes also suffered damage that required extensive repairs or was irreparable.
It can be said that after this battle, the carrier-based aircraft power of an aircraft carrier battle group in Asia was completely wiped out.
For Asia, which has no offshore base near Stonehenge, the aircraft carrier battle group is the only long-range strike force they can rely on. Now that one of their aircraft carrier battle groups has been eliminated, the threat to Stonehenge is much less.
Moreover, the defenders of Stonehenge successfully thwarted Asia's strategic purpose of quickly attacking and threatening Stonehenge. The so-called one-stop attack will only lead to failure. Once the first wave of attacks launched by Asia is blocked, then the subsequent attacks will be blocked.
There will be an early warning for the attack on the empire, and it will be able to respond more skillfully.
What's more, when Asia takes the initiative to launch an attack and fails to hit a single blow, the empire will naturally have a reason to use force. From now on, the empire's dual aircraft carrier battle group and the air forces from the dome base can be protected from attack.
It is limited to the airspace/sea near Stonehenge, but can freely search for Asia's military ships in the vast high seas and attack them. In other words, compared to being able to only passively predict, the empire has finally gained a certain amount of initiative.
.
As long as you find an Aisian military ship, you will directly open fire and attack it, regardless of whether you really pose a threat to Stonehenge.
The empire's military command even issued harsh words immediately. At this time, even if it was a fly, as long as it flew out of Asia, it would have to be shot down.
As for the statement issued by the current regime of Asia in the international community that "the attack on Stonehenge was carried out by the Asia radical organization and has nothing to do with the Asia government, and the empire should not take such radical measures," the statement was rejected by the empire and other parties involved.
The major powers involved in the Stonehenge project were decisively ignored.
I'm just thinking about cutting it now, it's too late.
After the failure of the northern war and the collapse of the domestic economy, facing the temptation of Stonehenge, Asia made a risky move. In a sense, it can be said that it was a bet on the fate of the country - if it succeeded, Asia could use Stonehenge.
If you try to turn over, but fail, then you can say that you are on the verge of overturning.
The empire currently only needs to insist on keeping Stonehenge for ten days. When the meteorite arrives ten days later and Stonehenge successfully completes its mission, Asia will bid farewell to the world's powerful nations.
Without the threat of meteorites, even if the empire does not hold Asia responsible, those powerful countries that want to go further will not let Asia go further. The empire only needs a little leadership to establish a new world order.
It can be said to be an exciting prospect.
But it is too early to say this. What is currently before the empire is the mess left after this large-scale battle.
In order to achieve this victory, the empire suffered considerable losses.
To deal with Asia's attack and prevent Stonehenge's defense line from being destroyed, the Dome Base can be said to have deployed all its elites this time. Except for those aircraft that cannot participate in air combat, basically all personnel participated in the battle.
But no one expected that the eastern airspace would develop into a melee of that scale.
Although the empire successfully won the battle after the arrival of friendly support from the north and south sides, the empire still paid the price of a large number of fighter planes being shot down and injured during the initial melee.
It's okay for the pilot who parachuted. After some psychological counseling, he was given a new fighter plane and he was a good man again.
The key is those pilots who sacrificed themselves or were unable to fly again due to injuries within a short period of time - even the empire is not so wealthy that it doesn't matter if these ace or quasi-ace pilots are sacrificed. These people are all experienced and skilled.
A combination of the two, each loss of one will weaken the combat power of the dome base.
It can be said that Asia exchanged injuries for injuries this time. Even if they did not win, the defensive strength of the dome base was weakened.
It can only be said that the Aisians have adopted the mentality of "win the young model in the club and lose to work in the sea". It is considered a desperate move. It will not be a loss if they can replace the elites of the Empire in Stonehenge, but the empire is not willing to be forced by the Aisians.
Let's play together.
How to make up for the battle losses in the dome base is also a headache for the imperial military department.
However, the headaches are left to the superiors, while the frontline combatants can cheer for this victory.
The Polaris Squadron, who were heroes in the battle, has returned to high altitudes, and they are slowly returning home.
"I have heard about the achievements of the two of you." Murong Lan sighed: "You entered the battlefield from a high altitude, killed seven in and seven out, and made the friendly troops call saviors and the enemy called devils. You are really
It’s unparalleled in the limelight.”
"You're not bad either." Wang Yu decided to exchange tactics with her: "You brought two squadrons, the vanguard and the needle, to join the battlefield from the side. In a short period of time, you eliminated a large number of Asia's fighter planes and won the victory for the friendly forces.
Adequate conditions.”
"When we arrived, you had already left a deep impression on the memory of the friendly forces, and we are like the police characters in Hong Kong movies who always arrive in a hurry..." Murong Lan complained: "Obviously we are also the new force to reinforce the victory.
That’s right.”
"We are not that good." Luo Yu retorted to Murong Lan in a low voice: "We just came a step faster."
"You should be able to hear the voices on the channel asking about you?"
Luo Yu said innocently: "The friendly channels are too messy, so I cut them off."
"..."
Murong Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.
She didn't expect that Luo Yu, who had always been gentle and generous, could choke her to the point of being speechless.
After a moment, she said: "...you have changed."
She quickly understood that Luo Yu must have changed after following someone for a long time. It was useless to say anything else, so she cleared her throat and changed the topic.
"Do you know what the friendly forces call you two now?"
Wang Yu asked curiously: "What?"
"Rathgrith."
"Not very understandable."
"This is a myth and legend. One of the heroic goddesses is called the 'Plan Destroyer'. Judging from your success in destroying the plans of the Aisians, this title is indeed quite suitable."
Wang Yu raised his hand and rubbed the three-headed figure of Irene who was jumping on the console: "If I really want to say the goddess of heroic spirits, I should say the machine girl. After all, although there was no description before, it is gone.
We can't successfully complete the battle plan with them either."
"You seem to be right in saying that. By the way, that myth seems to have another meaning. I think this meaning is closer to the performance of the two of you in this battle."
"How to say?"
"The Goddess of Heroes is not only a god, she also incarnates into a demon named Razgriz. Whenever there is a big change in the world, Razgriz will come to the world, sow disaster and death to the world, and then disappear. But after a period of time, Razgriz will
Coming again, but this time will bring hope and light."
Wang Yu was a little surprised, this story is quite interesting.
Murong Lan said: "So I think this fits your image quite well. To the enemy, you are the devils who bring death, but to the friendly forces, you bring victory and hope. You gain victory by sowing death."
Shuguang, so everyone’s evaluation of you is actually quite relevant.”
Liu Lingxin seemed to feel that Murong Lan's rhetoric was a bit embarrassing. She whispered: "I didn't know you were such a literary guy."
Wang Yu smiled: "But whether it's Rathgrith or Razgriz, I prefer another way of saying it."
"What statement?"
"The name of our squadron."
Wang Yu looked at the friendly fighter planes flying in the surrounding airspace: "We should be the North Star guiding them to victory."
…………
"Ah, they're back."
The person in charge of the dome base, the old general, stood in front of the window and looked at the direction of the base's runway.
"You mean the pilots who participated in the interception mission today?"
The orderly who followed the old general like a follower followed the latter's gaze and looked at the runway and asked.
"Well, they are all good boys. If it weren't for their heroic battle today, we wouldn't be standing here talking relaxedly." The old general's expression was slightly sighing, and he said with satisfaction: "Of course, I think
I’m not talking about them, I’m actually talking about a special squadron.”
The orderly was a little confused.
The old admiral glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't be so reserved for the time being. If you have anything to ask, just ask."
"Is there any special squadron worthy of your attention?"
"Of course, they are Polaris. An ace squadron that can be used as a decisive force."
The old general squinted his eyes and looked at the runway. His eyes that should have become cloudy with age have become brighter. He looked at the silhouette of the fighter planes in the direction of the runway: "They did not let us down. They have successfully completed the mission and returned."
"Um, I don't quite understand. Aren't they like other squadrons?"
"Of course it's different. Today's battle is different from the past." The old general glanced at the orderly who didn't know much about air combat: "This is a large-scale air battle that you can't imagine. Nearly a hundred fighter planes of various types are flying in a small airspace.
The great air battle that broke out has never been seen like this since the end of the propeller fighter generation."
Naturally, the orderly was not from the Air Force Academy. He opened his mouth slightly and found it difficult to understand.
The total number of aircraft in the entire air force base seems to add up to this number.
"I never saw a battle of this scale when I was serving in the Air Force, but I know that in this kind of battle, the only principle of engagement has become simply 'survival'. Without them, many people today would be
Will sacrifice." The old admiral said to himself: "But the Polaris Squadron has successfully become a force that changes the situation of the war. It is indeed like the shining Polaris in the night sky that guides the lost, allowing many people to end safely.
This mission, we returned to base."
The orderly immediately stood in awe of this Polaris Squadron, which he didn't know much about.
The old admiral smiled and said: "Perhaps among so many teams, theirs is the one with the most suitable name for their squadron. Other squadrons all have names based on how powerful they are, but they, they really choose their names according to the positioning of their squadron.
of."
The roar of jet engines could be heard from across the runway.
Two fighter planes of different types maintained a stable glide path in tandem and slowly approached the base runway.
The orderly stared at the two strange-looking fighter planes with wide eyes.
This must be the North Star that the old admiral mentioned.
The fighter planes they fly are different from ordinary people.
On the wide and flat runway, the two fighter planes, which had ended a major battle, maintained a suitable distance apart, passed through the extension area and indicator strip at the end of the runway one after another, and touched down gently at the standard landing area.
The nose of the plane rose slightly, and the rear two-point landing gear lightly touched the runway, creating a puff of white smoke.
For some reason, the orderly had the urge to applaud.
He knew that if any reporters accompanying the army took photos of these two fighter planes at this time, then the photos that symbolized the ace's triumphant return would definitely leave a mark in the military history of the empire.
