Chapter 860 Evacuation Breakout
As the battle progressed, the fight between the Falcon and Sharp Eagle formations and the enemy's Storm Bird and Morning Light formations became more and more intense.
The Shrike fighters of the Falcon formation continued to take advantage of their speed, like flexible dancers, shuttling between the Diamond and Falcon fighters of the Stormbird formation, constantly provoking and consuming the energy of the enemy aircraft. The Destroyer fighters were like mobile fortresses, using their heavy weapons to carry out precise strikes on enemy aircraft, and each artillery fire coverage caused heavy losses to the Stormbird formation.
"Falcon formation, keep up the pressure and prevent the Stormbird from escaping!" Li Meng's voice was transmitted to the ears of every pilot through the communicator.
He knew very well that every second was crucial at this moment, and he had to throw the Stormbird formation into chaos to create opportunities for subsequent attacks.
On the Sharp Eagle formation side, the Hornet fighters relied on their excellent close combat capabilities to engage in close combat with the Nakajima land-based J5N1 "Sky Thunder" twin-engine fighters. Each Hornet was like a ferocious hummingbird, using high-speed maneuvers and powerful firepower to continuously attack the Sky Thunder fighters. The Destroyer heavy fighters, like guardians, provided powerful firepower support for the Hornets, ensuring that they could rush into the enemy camp without hesitation.
"Sharp Eagle Formation, pay attention to the formation and maintain fire coverage!" Zhao Lei's instructions were clear and powerful. He constantly adjusted the tactical layout of the formation to ensure that the advantages of each fighter could be maximized.
At this moment, the Streamer Formation cut through the sky like a flash of lightning and joined the fierce air battle. The Stormbird fighters of the Streamer Formation used their high speed and stealth capabilities to quickly approach the enemy formation's retreat route, preparing to cut off its escape route. The Me 163 Comet fighters, with their unique rocket-powered engines, accelerated and sprinted at the critical moment, giving the enemy formation a fatal blow.
"Liuguang Formation, immediately carry out the interception mission and make sure the enemy formation has no way to escape!" Liu Chengxu's order rang out in the communication channel, his voice full of determination and firmness.
With the joining of the Streamer Formation, the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant. The Stormbirds and Morning Light Formations were attacked from three sides and fell into an unprecedented predicament. The enemy planes panicked under the interception of the Streamer Formation and tried to find a breakthrough, but every attempt was ruthlessly crushed by the Falcon and Sharp Eagle Formations.
In the command cabin of the Fuso side, the leaders of the Morning Light Formation, Sato Ichiro, and the Storm Bird Formation, Yamaguchi Taro, looked at each other with disbelief and despair in their eyes. They watched their comrades being shot down one after another through the radar screen, and the flames and black smoke continued to rise above the battlefield, like a feast for the god of death.
"Sato-kun, we must ask for support! If we go on like this, we will all die here!" Taro Yamaguchi's voice was trembling. He clenched his fists and tried to keep himself calm.
Sato Ichiro gritted his teeth, nodded, and quickly pressed the button on the communicator to send an emergency call to the supersonic formation: "Supersonic formation, this is the Morning Light and Storm Bird formation, we are in a serious crisis, requesting immediate support!"
However, the voice coming from the other end of the communicator was the slightly helpless and anxious voice of the supersonic formation leader Murakami Ichiro: "Sato, Yamaguchi, we are being tightly entangled by the Grey Goose Formation at the moment, and there is no way to escape. Their tactical coordination is too sophisticated, and our own speed advantage cannot be brought into play here. We are really overwhelmed!"
Murakami Ichiro's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the last remaining hope in Sato Ichiro and Yamaguchi Taro's hearts.
They knew very well that continuing to fight without support would only result in more casualties.
"Damn it! Are we really going to be wiped out here?" Sato Ichiro pounded the console angrily, with a trace of unwillingness and despair in his eyes.
In Fuso's ground command center, a staff officer hurried into the command room, holding the latest battle report in his hand, and reported in a trembling voice: "General, the latest battle situation shows that our Morning Light and Storm Bird formations have been severely damaged, and the Supersonic Formation has been entangled by the Grey Goose Formation and cannot escape. China's fighter planes have excellent performance, large numbers, and extremely high tactical literacy. Our army is completely at a disadvantage."
Upon hearing this, Tsukagawa Yoshiyasu seemed to be struck by lightning. His body swayed slightly, and then he burst into an angry roar: "Baka! Bakayalo! Damn Chinese, how can they be so powerful?!" He turned around abruptly and kicked the table in front of him, causing it to roll over. The documents and water cups on the table scattered all over the floor, making a harsh sound.
"General, please calm down!" The surrounding staff officers stepped forward one after another, trying to calm Tsukagawa Yoshiyasu, but their persuasions fell on deaf ears and did not cause even a ripple.
Tsukawa Yoshiyasu took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger, but his eyes were still full of unwillingness and despair. He knew that continuing to fight would only cause more pilots to die, and such sacrifice was meaningless.
"Pass my order!" Tsukawa Yoshiyasu finally spoke: "Immediately issue an order to break out and evacuate to the four fighter formations and two bomber formations! We must conserve our strength and prepare for a future counterattack!"
Upon hearing this, the staff officers immediately took action and quickly conveyed the order to each formation. The heavy voices of the leaders of each formation were heard on the communicator. Although they were unwilling, they also understood that retreat was the only option at this moment.
"General, we will try our best to break through!" The voice of a formation leader came through the communicator with a hint of tragedy.
Tsukagawa Yoshiyasu closed his eyes and nodded silently. He knew that they had lost this battle, and lost completely. But he also understood that failure was not terrible, but the terrible thing was the loss of fighting spirit and confidence. He secretly vowed that one day, he would lead the Fuso Air Force to regain their glory and dignity.
In the tense and rapid communication channel, the commanders of the four Fuso fighter formations communicated quickly and orderly to develop a feasible breakout plan.
"Morning Light Formation, your mission is to cover the rear and buy precious time for other formations to evacuate." The voice of Ichiro Sato, commander of the Morning Light Formation, rang out over the communicator. Although his voice was a little heavy, his tone was firm.
"Understood. We will do our best to delay the enemy." A pilot from the Morning Light Formation responded, with a sense of determination in his voice.
"Stormbirds, Supersonic Formation, you retreat first. Remember to maintain formation and minimize losses." Tsukagawa Yoshiyasu's voice came from the ground command center and was clearly conveyed to every pilot through the encrypted communication channel.
"Yes! We will do our best!" Stormbirds formation commander Taro Yamaguchi and Supersonic formation commander Ichiro Murakami responded almost at the same time. Their voices contained both commitment to the mission and alertness to unknown dangers.
"Attention, reserve formations, Orochimaru, Kinzan, and Amaterasu formations, you will provide support from the periphery and intercept any possible enemy pursuit." Tsukagawa Yoshiyasu continued to issue orders, his voice becoming more serious, "Your mission is equally important, make sure to ensure the safety of the retreat route."
"Understood, General! We are ready and on standby at any time." The commanders of the three reserve formations responded one after another.
