1282 TWO Chapter 1282-Winning and losing at the same time (1/2)
Chapter 1282 – Winning and Losing at the Same Time
Blue seas, clear skies.
Beneath the white clouds, 40 ancient looking fighter jets rose up, giving out deafening roars as they streaked through the sky.
They were a group of air cavalry.
In front of the fighter jets, the Lamu warships of the Darkness empire were clearly visible.
Interestingly, the Darkness empire called themselves the gods of the night. However, who knows what kind of paint they put on their warships, but they were all shining with an eye-catching silver.
Those two were complete opposites.
Without walkie talkies, after the fighter jets flew into the sky, it would be tough for them to communicate with one another. They could only follow the prior arrangements as they flew toward their targets.
Fighter jet after fighter jet charged down from above.
”Air siege!”
”Do not panic, aim the cannons at them.”
The Darkness squadron was really well trained. Although there was a moment of panic, chaos did not ensue as they aimed their black cannons at the diving fighter jets.
”Fire!”
'Hong! Hong! Hong!'
The cannon fire immediately struck two fighter jets. Smoke rose into the air as they crashed into the ocean. With the simplistic structures of the first generation fighter jets, they were naturally limited to some simple evasion measures.
Luckily, the majority of them were able to brave the cannon fire to continue charging down.
'Hong! Hong! Hong!'
Another round of cannon fire erupted. Since the distance was much shorter, four more fighter jets were shot down.
At that moment, some fighter jets finally managed to toss down gunpowder from above the Lamu warships.
'Hong!'
The warship that was struck had a huge hole blasted into its deck.
On the deck, people flew into the air and onto the ground. The warship started to shake. Some of the warships were blown apart from the side. Seawater flowed in and was about to drag the entire warship into the depths of the ocean.
Warship after warship broke out into smoke.
When Ichiro saw this scene, his face turned green. He did not expect the enemy troops to be so crazy.
”Fire! Fire the cannons!”
The Darkness Squadron could only continue to fire and shoot down the enemy fighter jets.
The birth of the fighter jets had totally changed the naval battle mode. It evolved from simple warship versus warship battles to more complicated air strikes.
The aircraft carriers were also born from that.
Under the attacks of the Great Xia fighter jets, the Darkness Squadron suffered heavy losses. 12 warships were sunk on the spot and 15 were damaged.
However, Great Xia had also paid a hefty price. Out of the 40 fighter jets that they sent out, only 10 returned.
At the same time, Shi Lang grasped this chance while the enemy troops were badly hurt to surround the enemy and launch a closely packed firepower attack. This move aimed to both cover the fighter jets while expanding their rewards.
The magic powered submarines that were discovered by the enemy struck out once more and took down four warships.
The war situation shifted once again.
Ichiro looked out at the smoking ocean surface. Looking out, pretty much all his warships were damaged, and the rumbling smoke negatively affected visibility.
He had just been feeling delighted moments ago, but now, his face sank.
Ichiro was prepared to withdraw. If this continued, they would suffer heavy losses. Just as he was prepared to retreat, the communication compass sounded out.
”Good!”
Ichiro cut off the communication compass, and his anger turned into happiness.
It was news from the 4th and 5th divisions; they were rushing toward the battlefield and could arrive in an hour.
Since reinforcements were about to arrive, Ichiro decided to not withdraw.
”Scoff, who dies in whose hands is still not decided yet.” Ichiro ordered the squadron to shrink their defensive line.
...
Flagship, Streamer.
The weird actions of the Darkness Squadron did not escape Shi Lang's eyes.
”Something is not right!”
Shi Lang frowned. Under such conditions, the enemy not retreating and choosing to fight to the death went against all battle logic.
After all, with the speed of the Lamu warships, retreating was nothing difficult.
”There's definitely something going on.”
