Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On May 5th, the Chinese Air Force repeated its old tricks, using fighter jets to cover bombers to bomb the US defense lines.  In order to prevent the Chinese Air Force from bombing the U.S. defense lines, the U.S. Army Air Force had to fight the Chinese Air Force.  In the air battle this morning, the Chinese Air Force dispatched 83 FBs

    "Haitongqing fighter jets, the U.S. Air Force dispatched 120 "Hurricane" fighter jets.  In the end, the Chinese Air Force lost 17 fighter jets, while the U.S. Air Force lost 67 fighter jets.

    In the afternoon, the Chinese Air Force continued to bomb the US Army's Rio Grande defense line to attract the US Army Air Forces to come out for a decisive battle.  Although it is known that the Chinese Air Force is using this method to consume the strength of the US Army Aviation Forces.  But they have to be fooled, and they can't just watch the Chinese Air Force bombers bombard the US military's defense lines unscrupulously!  Once their defenses are destroyed by the Chinese Air Force, I am afraid that the Chinese Air Force will begin to attack the US military's defense lines.  In the afternoon air battle, in addition to dispatching the remaining 56 fighter jets of the 7th Fighter Wing, the Chinese Air Force also deployed a squadron from the 1st Wing and the 6th Wing to assist in the battle. The total number of fighter jets dispatched reached 80.  The U.S. Army Aviation has also been deploying fighter jets from other airports to strengthen their presence near Laredo. On the afternoon of October 5, the U.S. Army Aviation fighter jets that took off for combat reached the KC aircraft.  After a brutal air battle, the Chinese Air Force lost 11 fighter jets, while the U.S. Army Air Forces lost 52 fighter jets.  This brings the total loss between the two sides today to 28 to 119.  The exchange ratio is one to four!

    On October 6, the Chinese Air Force continued to launch attacks on the US military.  The U.S. Army Air Forces, caught between a rock and a hard place, had to fight passively.  In today's battle, the Chinese Air Force lost 21 fighter jets, while the US Air Force lost 108 fighter jets.

    After three days of large-scale air combat, the Chinese Air Force has lost 86 fighter jets, while the U.S. Army Air Force has lost 407 fighter jets. The exchange ratio between the two sides has reached almost one to five.  Moreover, the U.S. Army Air Forces lost more than half of its fighter planes deployed along the Rio Grande defense line.  The Chinese Air Force also has 154 fighter jets.  Calculated in this way, the air superiority over the Rio Grande defense line has gradually tilted towards the Chinese Air Force.  If the U.S. Army Air Forces continues to fight, it is estimated that their fighter jets will be exhausted before long.  This made Lieutenant General Kevinson, commander of the U.S. Army Air Forces, very anxious. He kept sending telegrams to the Department of War and the Army Staff, requesting support for more aircraft and pilots. Otherwise, the skies over the Rio Grande defense line would be blocked.  Chinese fighter planes took over.

    The large-scale attack by the Chinese Air Force has attracted the attention of the United States.  Everyone has expected that the Chinese army's attack on the Rio Grande defense line is about to begin.  Once the Chinese Air Force fully controls the air, it will probably be time for a war to break out.  To this end, the U.S. Department of War and the Army Staff quickly sent the latest one hundred and fifty Hurricane fighter jets to the Rio Grande front line to strengthen the front line.

    The U.S. Army Aviation can be supplemented, and the Chinese Air Force can also be supplemented.  Although the replenishment of the Chinese Air Force will span the entire Pacific Ocean, as early as when the Chinese Air Force decided to launch a large-scale attack on the US military, Marshal Zhao Bowen urged the General Staff and the Air Force Command to increase replenishment of the North American battlefield.  On January 5, several transport ships carrying a large number of fighters and pilots arrived in Puerto Vallarta.  After the fighters were loaded and unloaded, they were sent to the field airport in Puerto Vallarta.  Then there are pilots flying these fighters directly to the front line.  This time, the Chinese General Staff and Air Force Command not only sent more than a hundred fighters and bombers to the four air force wings in the North American battlefield to supplement previous losses, but also transferred the 9th Wing of the Air Force to the North American battlefield.  .  This has increased the number of Chinese Air Force wings in the North American battlefield to five.  You know, the Chinese Air Force has only formed a total of 10 wings.  Eight of them are mixed fighter and bomber wings, and two are dedicated fighter wings.  The arrival of reinforcements and supplementary troops has greatly increased the strength of the Chinese Air Force in the North American battlefield, far surpassing the U.S. Army Air Forces.

    On KO on July 7, the Chinese Air Force continued to launch attacks on the US military.  This time, the Chinese Air Force dispatched a total of 200 fighter jets, which was twice as large as before.  Although the supplemented U.S. Army Air Force also deployed 220 fighter jets to participate in this air battle, the final result was still horrific.  In the morning air battle, the Chinese Air Force lost 26 fighter jets, while the U.S. Air Force lost a total of 143 fighter jets.  Such a huge loss once again dealt a heavy blow to the newly replenished U.S. Army Air Forces.

    So much so that when the Chinese Air Force launched another attack on the U.S. Army in the afternoon, the U.S. Army Air Forces chose to avoid the battle.  The huge losses made the U.S. Army Air Force lose the courage to continue fighting.  If they continue to fight, they may lose all their fighter planes in a few days.  At the same time, the huge casualties also caused the United States toThe pilots of the Chinese Army Air Force felt fear in their hearts.  Some pilots even refused to take off for air combat, or in other words, when they discovered the appearance of Chinese Air Force fighter jets during air combat, they immediately turned around and ran away, without having the courage to fight at all!

    In addition, General Pershing also arrived in Laredo at noon on October 7.  The tired General Pershing ignored the fatigue of the journey and immediately summoned Lieutenant General Kevinson, commander of the US Army Air Forces.  On the way back to the defense line, General Pershing continued to receive news of heavy losses suffered by the Army Air Forces, which made him worried.  He had previously asked Theodore in the White House.  President Roosevelt and other top U.S. officials assured him that he would hold on to the Rio Grande line.  But now it seems that the development of the war situation has deviated greatly from what he expected!

    "General Kevinson, how many aircraft do we have that can fly into the air now?" General Pershing asked directly after seeing General Kevinson.  He clearly remembered that the Rio Grande defense line originally had more than 800 aircraft.  And later the War Department allocated an additional 150 aircraft.  This increased the number of U.S. Army Air Force fighter aircraft on the Rio Grande defense line to more than 900, which is already close to 1,000!

    "General, we have 400 fighter planes left now. The losses in the past few days have totaled 550. In addition, there are a few fighters that cannot take off for combat due to malfunctions!" Lieutenant General Kevinson said bitterly.  Face said.  The U.S. Army Air Forces paid a heavy price in these days of fighting.  More than half of the planes and pilots have been lost.

    "Asshole! How many Chinese planes have we shot down?" General Pershing asked.

    "General, according to the data we have obtained, the Chinese losses are only a little over a hundred, not more than a hundred and ten!" Lieutenant General Kevinson replied.  This exchange ratio is indeed a bit embarrassing.  He didn't know how to face it.

    "An exchange ratio of one to five? Son of a bitch, is this the gap between us and the Chinese?" General Pershing couldn't help but uttered a curse word.

    "So, how many fighters do the Chinese have left to fight? Is there any way we can maintain air superiority along the Rio Grande line of defense?" General Pershing asked.  This is what he is most concerned about. If the U.S. Army Aviation loses its air superiority and can no longer defend the sky, then it is foreseeable that the Chinese army will definitely launch a large-scale attack.

    "General, the Chinese Air Force has also received a large-scale replenishment. According to the information we have received, the Chinese Air Force still has at least two hundred and fifty fighter jets. The number of bombers is definitely not less than this number. If we cannot get any more replenishment  If so, we simply won¡¯t be able to compete with the Chinese for air supremacy!¡± Lieutenant General Kevinson returned.  When the performance of fighter jets and the quality of pilots are completely incomparable to that of the Chinese Air Force, it is simply impossible to seize air supremacy with the Chinese Air Force.  Originally, the U.S. Army Aviation was able to rely on its huge numerical advantage to deal with the Chinese Air Force.  But now, the U.S. Army Air Forces has a numerical advantage that cannot even be satisfied by one to two.  If you want to defeat the Chinese Air Force, it will be even harder than reaching the sky.  According to the air battles in the past few days, the U.S. Army Air Forces must have at least four times the numerical advantage to compete with the Chinese Air Force.

    "General, can we get more supplements? In addition, when will we get the Hurricane Pi fighter jets?" Lieutenant General Kevinson asked.  If a batch of more advanced Hurricane and Pi fighter jets could be obtained, perhaps the U.S. Army Aviation would not be in such a mess.

    General Pershing smiled bitterly, and then said: "The Department of War and the Army Staff have given us all the fighters they can mobilize. At least until next month, we will not be able to get new fighters. As for the 'Hurricane, Pi  Although the President has directly ordered the speed of research and development of the fighter jet, the most optimistic estimate is that it will not be mass-produced until the beginning of November. And if we want to get this kind of fighter, I am afraid we have to wait until the end of November!"

    Lieutenant General Kevinson was speechless. It was only October 7, and the U.S. Army Air Forces had already lost most of its fighter jets.  Based on the current losses, there is no way they can hold on until next month.  By the time new fighter jets arrive on the front lines next month, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold.  Once the Chinese completely gain control of the air, they may immediately launch an attack on the Rio Grande defense line.  And with the US military losing air supremacy, can it persist for a month in the face of the fierce attack of the Chinese army?
