Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

Chapter 170 Air Battle over the Suda River

August 5th, the eleventh year of Yongsheng.

Within the territory of Salo – Smeyata region.

The full-scale confrontation between the Daqian Zhenguo Army and the Anti-Qian Alliance began with a large-scale air battle.

11:16 a.m.

The seemingly endless formations of enemy and friendly aircraft met over the Suda River—and a fierce aerial battle ensued...

This was a very "tacit" probing exchange between the enemy and ourselves.

Before the air battle over the Suda River broke out, both the Daqian Zhenguo Army and the Xiluo Allied Army intercepted each other's air attack plans.

The Daqian Zhenguo Army wanted to launch an airstrike on allied military targets across the Suda River.

The Western Luo Allied Forces also formulated a plan to launch an air raid on the Daqian Zhenguo Army on the other side of the Suda River.

Thus, both sides were fully aware of the situation.

The first battle between the Daqian Zhenguo Army and the Anti-Qian Alliance ultimately turned into a pure aerial contest with fighter jets as the main characters.

Neither side deployed bombers; all of them were fighter jets.

The air battle turned into a fierce aerial war of attrition.

Both sides wanted to overwhelm each other in this way, and the battle became a test of each other's aerial strength.

Moreover, this was a fight that was almost an open affair.

Knowing each other's combat intentions, the two sides tacitly agreed on the scale of the air battle before it broke out.

The two sides will each deploy no more than 2000 fighter jets to engage in a fair and evenly matched aerial battle!

Thus, the largest aerial battle in human history took place over the Suda River.

The Daqian Zhenguo Army deployed 1600 P-51 Mustang fighter planes.

The Anti-Qian Allied Forces also deployed a large number of fighter planes—1969.

The number of aircraft did not exceed the standard of no more than 2000 as tacitly agreed upon by both parties.

Clearly, the Anti-Qian Alliance dared not underestimate the Daqian Zhenguo Army.

Unlike the Daqian side, which deployed only P-51 Mustang fighters, the Anti-Qian Allied Forces dispatched more than a dozen main fighter jets from countries including Salo, Georgia, Dunley, Lancy, and Prun.

This time, the Anti-Qian Alliance had a slight advantage in the number of fighter jets.

Both sides dispatched their elite pilots.

Therefore, it is difficult to predict who will emerge victorious in this air battle based solely on the data.

The final outcome will depend on the actual performance of both sides on the battlefield...

-------------------------------------

The dominant color of the sky over the Suda River on August 5th was destined to be splendid.

A grand fireworks extravaganza has arrived as scheduled!

Today, the sky belongs only to flames and smoke.

Looking up at the sky—the sheer number of aircraft that blots out the sun is enough to make one's blood boil!

The ensuing battle scenes were unforgettable, sending adrenaline levels soaring...

One after another, steel eagles bared their fangs and claws high in the sky, each displaying their unique abilities, chasing and entangled with each other, their roaring flames weaving into a web of fire.

Such a large-scale aerial battle was destined to be brutal from the very beginning.

From time to time, hit planes streaked down from the sky, trailing long plumes of smoke.

The plane that was blown up in mid-air was like fireworks exploding in the sky, magnificent and shocking.

This was also the first truly evenly matched battle since the Daqian Zhenguo Army began its overseas operations.

In terms of both combat strength and morale, the two sides are evenly matched.

Therefore, this battle is of great reference value for both sides in assessing their own true combat strength.

The deafening roar of engines and the howling of cannons mercilessly tore at the sky, and the scorching chains of fire seemed to shatter the entire sky into countless fragments!

The massive battle in the sky caused immense suffering to the earth as well.

One after another, planes billowing thick smoke crashed into the ground, at an astonishing frequency.

The earth groaned in agony amidst the constant explosions and fires.

The heavens and earth trembled, and the sun lost its light.

The great achievements of humankind in entering the industrial age were fully demonstrated in this air battle.

Although humans themselves lack the ability to soar, they have used industrial ingenuity to turn the sky into their arena...

The entire air battle over the Suda River lasted from 11:16 a.m. to 6:39 p.m. that day.

After more than seven hours of non-stop aerial combat, this chaotic aerial battle, which ended in a draw and was mainly a test of strength, came to a close as the sun set.

The total number of aircraft involved in the Battle of Suda River approached 4000.

Moreover, it was a real battle that took place in the sky for more than 7 hours, and it was high-energy and engaging from start to finish!

After the Battle of Suda River.

Looking around, the land below the battle zone was littered with the wreckage of aircraft left behind in the fighting.

Many pieces of aircraft wreckage are still burning fiercely, and thick, black smoke obscures the sky...

The ever-flowing Suda River was also filled with airplane debris.

It is easy to imagine that quite a few planes must have crashed into the river during the battle.

The chaotic battle that took place in the sky left the earth with a vast steel graveyard.

As the roaring sound faded into the distance, the howling flames abruptly ceased, and the billowing smoke gradually burned away.

Only the scattered airplane wreckage on the ground proves that a fierce aerial battle once took place in the skies above this place...
