At 11:21 PM, at Nankou Airport.
All the searchlights at the airport were turned on, and countless engineers and civilians were working to repair the airport runway.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
"quick!"
"Hurry, everyone!"
"The track must be repaired before 1 a.m."
In the darkness of night.
Countless figures bustled about busily.
One by one, charred reconnaissance planes were towed by trucks, and then...
In the distance, hundreds more Lafferty W15T artillery tractors appeared, stretching as far as the eye could see, with only the aircraft visible behind them.
It had the D.520 fighter, Br.691 light bomber, Br.462 medium bomber, and NC.223.4 heavy bomber.
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
"Keep it up, brothers!"
As engineers busily repaired the runway, Air Force Commander Zhu Shixiong stood inside the control tower, gazing at the bustling scene outside, his heart filled with excitement.
"Old Zhou, can it be fixed before 1 o'clock?" he asked Zhou Guangsheng beside him.
"Yes, absolutely."
Zhou Guangsheng confidently assured, "The damage to our airport is not particularly serious; it only needs some repairs to be put back into use."
Zhu Shixiong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He was genuinely worried that the airport wouldn't be able to operate smoothly.
The consequences will be severe if we fail to complete the task assigned by the Commander-in-Chief!
Time passed by, second by second.
June 24, 0:42.
The airport runway has been repaired ahead of schedule.
Under the cover of night, countless fighter jets and bombers were lined up on the lawn, resembling ferocious monsters ready to devour anyone they might want to kill.
Training squad leader Richard directed the soldiers to send bombs into their bellies one by one.
10 minutes later.
Air Force generals at all levels gathered in the control tower.
Zhu Shixiong issued the General Headquarters' operational order: "Our mission this time is to bomb the three airfields of Longshan, Baisha, and Jialin."
"Longshan is the furthest. At 2 o'clock sharp, the 3rd Air Division will depart first."
"At 2:40, the 2nd Air Division will proceed to Haiyang Baisha Airport."
"At 3:20, the 1st Air Division proceeded to Hanoi Gia Lam Airport."
"Is there a problem?" Zhu Shixiong looked around.
The generals all said they had no problem and saluted Zhu Shixiong, indicating that they would complete the mission successfully.
Only Yang Chunrong, the commander of the 3rd Air Division, looked somber and hesitated to speak.
Zhu Shixiong frowned slightly. "What's wrong, Lao Yang?"
Yang Chunrong sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Report, taking off every 40 minutes for one air division is too much pressure. Could we delay the takeoff by 20 minutes?"
Zhu Shixiong glared at him: "Do you intend to disobey the Commander-in-Chief's orders?!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chunrong shrank back, lowered his head, and remained silent.
"I don't care what methods you use! Drag it out of control, drag it out until the sky!"
"If any planes run off the runway or get stuck on it, push them aside!"
"In short! We must reach these three airports before dawn and raze them to the ground!"
"Do you understand?!"
"clear!"
"Get me loaded right now!! Load as many as you can, as long as it can take off!"
"yes!"
………………………………
1:55 a.m.
3rd Air Division.
The 9th Fighter Regiment, 164 D.520 Dvartina fighters, ignited, engines humming.
The propellers stirred up the airflow, and the pilots and commanders looked grave.
They had been training at a high intensity for almost two months, and now their muscles were incredibly sore.
However, upon hearing that the enemy's airport had been attacked, everyone's eyes immediately blazed with fury, wishing they could tear those bastards to shreds!
"Attention all groups, be extra vigilant during night flights and maintain a high state of alert. If enemy aircraft appear, please react according to the training manual..."
Following the commander's order, everyone tensed up again, their minds focused.
"Remember this, everyone! This is the first time our National League for Democracy Air Force has shown its strength! We must teach them a painful lesson and let them know who the world's most powerful air force is!"
At this point, the commander's tone suddenly rose: "For the Commander-in-Chief, for the Democratic Alliance, for the Motherland, for the Nation, for Victory, for Freedom! Kill these bastards!"
Time passed second by second.
Zhu Shixiong glanced at his pocket watch; it was exactly 2 o'clock. He then looked at Zhou Guangsheng.
Zhou Guangsheng understood immediately and whistled, "Beep be ...
The pilots of the 9th Fighter Regiment pulled up the control stick and climbed the altitude.
"Whoosh!"
"Swish swish——"
One after another, D.520 Devatina fighter jets quickly followed.
After the 9th Fighter Regiment took off, the 10th Fighter Regiment took over.
The same 164 D.520 fighter jets.
Next came the 11th Light Bomber Regiment, with 82 Br.691 light bombers and 90 Br.462 medium bombers.
12th Heavy Bomber Regiment, 164 NC.223.4 heavy bombers.
Then came the 2nd Air Division and the 1st Air Division.
They formed a dense formation against the dark sky and roared toward their target airport!
Only thirty planes skidded off the runway, and two crashed.
Thankfully, it was a close call.
"All fighter jets, take off!"
Zhu Shixiong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was as if they had just finished a fierce battle; everyone was soaked, their hair was sticky and plastered to their foreheads, and their clothes were wrinkled.
