Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 267 Prologue

As soon as Lu Tianhao finished speaking, the roar of an airplane was heard in the sky.

The sudden sound surprised everyone and they all looked up at the sky.

Lu Tianhao and a group of generals showed surprise on their faces, secretly wondering what was going on.

At this moment, the experienced generals seemed to understand something and their faces became solemn.

Wang Hui frowned, sighed and said, "I didn't expect the bandits would really use their air force to bomb us!

They actually took off the plane before it was fully light.

It seemed like they wanted to take advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and catch us off guard.

Now that we know the bandits' plan, the next step is to see how we can break the enemy's scheme."

Li Guangjie took a deep breath and said with a determined look, "Before the enemy's planes start bombing, we can quickly transfer the troops from the front line back.

Then, set up a large number of anti-aircraft weapons at key locations, wait for daybreak, and immediately launch an attack on the bandit planes!"

His voice was full of determination and confidence, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

This proposal is indeed a good one. It can not only protect our troops from bombing, but also deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

However, a new question arises - where do so many anti-aircraft weapons come from?

But everyone seemed to have gotten used to this situation and didn't dwell too much on it.

Because they know that as long as the Marshal is there, nothing will be a problem.

These anti-aircraft weapons seemed to be available in their hands at any time.

Li Guangjie's proposal was recognized by everyone, even Lu Tianhao agreed.

After all, it was still dark, and even if he could exchange for a large number of planes, they would not be able to take off smoothly without the guidance of lights.

Therefore, Lu Tianhao decisively issued an order, requiring the front-line troops to withdraw important equipment such as howitzers and vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launchers.

After all these weapons are withdrawn, Lu Tianhao will store them one by one into the system space.

There was only about an hour left until dawn. Time was running out and he had to act quickly.

The first thing to do is to deploy a large number of anti-aircraft artillery around the air base.

This is a difficult task, but it is also a critical step in ensuring that the bandit air base is not destroyed by enemy aircraft.

Lu Tianhao knew very well that only by taking adequate defensive measures could he cope with the upcoming challenges.

Except for leaving behind some scouts, the front-line troops in the four directions brought all the heavy weapons back to the occupied bandit air base.

After Lu Tianhao stored all these weapons into the system space, he exchanged them for a large number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns from the system store.

Afterwards, he commanded 1,700 to 1,800 soldiers, dispersed around the air base, and quickly set up anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

After everything was ready, the soldiers waited quietly for the dawn.

At this moment, the entire air force base was shrouded in a tense and silent atmosphere, as if foreshadowing the upcoming fierce battle.

There was still half an hour before dawn and the sky was still dark, but the roar of enemy planes in the air was getting louder and louder, as if to tear the entire night apart.

The number of enemy planes continued to increase and they kept circling in the sky.

The expressions of Lu Tianhao and a group of generals also became extremely solemn. They looked up into the sky with their brows furrowed, and their eyes revealed worry and tension.

Based on their combat experience, they estimated that the number of aircraft sent by the bandits this time was huge, at least more than 500.

How could a small air force base withstand such a large-scale bombing?

Wang Hui couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the bandits have made up their minds this time.

They are determined to wipe out our unit and also want to destroy the air base we occupied in one fell swoop." There was a hint of heaviness in his voice.

Lu Tianhao nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Wang Hui's opinion.

He calmly analyzed, "I estimate that after daybreak, the number of enemy aircraft will increase further, and it is very likely to exceed 1000.

Although we have deployed a large number of air defense weapons around this air base.

But after all, our military forces are limited and we cannot achieve full coverage, and the density of air defense weapons is still not enough.

With less than 2,000 men, I'm afraid there is little hope for us to resist the indiscriminate bombing of more than 1,000 enemy planes!"

He frowned and said worriedly, "Hurry up and send a message to our fleet, urging them to send carrier-based aircraft to support us as soon as possible.

Only in this way can we hope to defend this air base."

After the National Salvation Army Navy Fleet received the news, Du Xiaowei and several other senior generals immediately convened an emergency meeting.

A general said solemnly, "Time is running out. We must immediately get our carrier-based aircraft to take off and try to reach the Marshal's location before daybreak."

Another general frowned and said in a serious tone, "But our aircraft carriers don't have the ability to launch carrier-based aircraft at night!

If we force the carrier-based aircraft to take off, it will probably cause huge losses."

Du Xiaowei was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Notify all aircraft carriers and order pilots to prepare and be ready to take off at any time.

Although our aircraft carriers do not have the ability to launch carrier-based aircraft at night, we can create the conditions.

Have those warships equipped with flares fire flares into the air to provide sufficient light for the pilots.

As long as there are flares to illuminate the area, I believe our pilots will be able to successfully fly the carrier-based aircraft."

His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

At this critical moment, every decision is related to the direction of the entire battle, and Du Xiaowei's determination and wisdom will be the key to their victory over difficulties.

The meeting ended quickly, and the entire naval fleet began to operate at high speed like a sophisticated machine.

Under the strong light of the flares, the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier took off like a swarm of bees, and the roar of the engines was deafening.

The pilots operated the fighter planes skillfully, and the formation flew in an orderly manner towards the approximate direction where Lu Tianhao was.

In the sky, a large formation of fighter jets is like a steel eagle, demonstrating strong combat effectiveness and majesty.

With firm determination and courage, they move towards unknown goals, ready to meet possible challenges and battles.

Time passed by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the dawn arrived.

This means that a thrilling and exciting air defense battle is about to begin.
