Chapter 124: The Overconfident Enemy Army

"; Our army will dispatch 30 F-86 Fighter and 5 B-29 Bomber to carry out a devastating strike on the Modu and Yangcheng of Long Country!";

The pilots burst into a round of cheers.

Most of these pilots had received special training from the Star-Spangled Country and were full of confidence in the new-style fighter jets they were piloting.

"; The anti-aircraft system of Long Country is primitive and backward," Tang Siling continued, "; their anti-aircraft guns have limited range and low accuracy, making them completely unable to counter our high-speed fighter jets. Especially the B-29 Bomber, which can drop bombs from an altitude of 10,000 meters, completely exceeding their defensive range.";

He displayed a map of Modu, on which several key bombing targets were marked:

"; The first target is the power plant and substation; destroying these facilities will plunge the entire city into darkness. The second target is the port facilities, to cut off their supply lines. The third target is the government agencies in the city center, to strike their administrative hub.";

A pilot raised a hand to ask: "; Sir, do we need to worry about interception by Long Country's fighter jets?";

Tang Siling shook his head confidently: "; According to intelligence, their number of fighter jets is limited, and their performance is far behind our F-86. Our fighter jets will be responsible for clearing aerial threats and opening a safe corridor for the bombers.";

After the meeting ended, the pilots each checked their own fighter jets, making final preparations for tomorrow's operation.

The air was filled with a tense yet excited atmosphere, and everyone believed that tomorrow's operation would achieve a glorious Victory.

……

On the anti-aircraft position of Long Country, Li Shouzheng was leading the soldiers in conducting a final system check.

"; Radar is normal!";

"; Communication between the three Triangle Positioning Station is clear!";

"; The anti-aircraft guns are all fully loaded!";

Everything was ready, just waiting for the enemy planes to strike.

Before dawn, Li Shouzheng was startled awake by a sharp whistle.

He quickly got up and rushed out of the tent, seeing Xiao Wang waving excitedly in front of the Radar Station.

"; What is it?"; Li Shouzheng stepped forward quickly.

"; The Radar detected an abnormal signal!"; Xiao Wang pointed at several bright spots on the screen, "; About 180 kilometers away, a group of flying objects is flying toward our direction!";

Li Shouzheng stared at the screen, confirming that they were indeed the characteristic signals of a plane formation.

"; The enemy planes came early!"; He immediately realized the severity of the situation, "; Notify all anti-aircraft units immediately, prepare for battle!";

The soldiers moved upon hearing the news, each taking their positions.

The operators at the Triangle Positioning Station began adjusting their equipment, preparing to receive the Engine sounds of the enemy planes.

At the anti-aircraft gun position, the gunners nervously checked the ammunition and launching devices.

The entire Anti-aircraft System began to operate at high speed; a battle concerning life and death was about to begin.

……

"; Why is it not dawn yet?"; Tang Siling stood by the runway, looking at his watch impatiently.

Although it was not yet daybreak, the airport was already brightly lit, and ground crew personnel were busy around each fighter jet, conducting final checks.

"; Sir, we have a tactical advantage by striking early."; The adjutant whispered, "; The people of Long Country did not expect us to launch an attack before dawn; most of their anti-aircraft units are likely still in their sleep.";

Tang Siling nodded, looking around with satisfaction at the neatly arranged fighter jets.

30 F-86 "; Sabre"; Fighter shimmered with a cold light; their streamlined fuselages appeared exceptionally elegant and fierce under the lights.

Further away, 5 massive B-29 "; Superfortress"; Bomber were refueling, with various types of bombs hanging under each plane.

"; What a beautiful scene."; Tang Siling muttered to himself, his eyes revealing an obsession with these war machines, "; Today, we will add new glory to these fighter jets with the blood and tears of the people of Long Country.";

The F-86 "; Sabre"; was one of the most advanced jet fighter jets of the Star-Spangled Country at the time, with a top speed reaching 1,120 km/h, armed with six 12.7mm machine guns, and had achieved astonishing combat records on the battlefield—shooting down hundreds of enemy planes with a loss ratio of less than 1:1.

And the B-29 "; Superfortress"; was an even more legendary bomber; its range, payload, and flight altitude far exceeded the anti-aircraft capabilities of most countries at the time.

"; Are the pilots all ready?"; Tang Siling asked.

"; All ready, sir."; The adjutant replied, "; They have all undergone special training by the advisors of the Star-Spangled Country and are the most elite air force of our army.";

"; Very good, tell them,"; Tang Siling's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light,

"; Today, they can destroy everything in Long Country to their heart's content. Hospitals, schools, residential areas, there are no restrictions. I want to make the people of Long Country understand the price of being our enemy.";

The adjutant nodded expressionlessly and turned to convey the order.

Not far away, several Military Advisor from the Star-Spangled Country were talking to the pilots, giving final tactical advice.

One white-haired Colonel patted a young pilot on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "; Remember, kid, the F-86 is almost invincible at an altitude of ten thousand meters. The anti-aircraft guns of Long Country cannot reach you at all, and their old fighter jets cannot even catch your tail dust.";

"; Understood, sir."; The young pilot puffed out his chest confidently, "; I can't wait to show off my skills in the sky of Long Country.";

"; One more thing,"; the old Colonel lowered his voice, "; The B-29 will drop the newly developed bombs at high altitude, with a coverage area three times that of ordinary bombs. Ensure they complete the bombing mission safely; this is more important than your personal combat record.";

"; Guarantee to complete the mission, sir!";

As the final check procedure was completed, the pilots began to board the planes.

The roaring sound of the Engine rose one after another, deafening.

Tang Siling stood by the command tower, watching this scene with satisfaction, already foreseeing in his heart the raging fires ignited in the cities of Long Country and the helpless, fleeing civilians.

"; Take off!"; Following Tang Siling's order, the first batch of F-86 Fighter began to taxi, soon soaring into the air and flying toward the horizon in the east that had not yet turned white. Following closely behind were the remaining fighter jets and those 5 behemoths—the B-29 Bomber.

The entire formation quickly formed a combat formation in the air, flying toward the predetermined targets.

"; Today will be a day the people of Long Country will remember forever."; Tang Siling watched the departing fighter formation, a cold smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

……

"; Target distance 150 kilometers, speed approximately 900 km/h, altitude... 8500 meters!"; The Radar Operator stared intently at the screen and reported loudly, "; Identified as an enemy plane formation, over 30 planes!";

In the anti-aircraft command post, Li Shouzheng and General Zhou were nervously studying the tactical map.

This makeshift command post was right next to the Radar Station, making it convenient to receive intelligence in real-time.

"; They came earlier than expected."; General Zhou frowned, "; It seems they want to catch us off guard.";
