The sky was slightly brighter, and the battlefield that had been up all night became more lively, and the sky was filled with airplanes.
The battlefield was filled with tongues of flames, and artillery shells screamed and fell from the sky with a harsh noise, raising large amounts of dust!
Blood has become the only conspicuous color on the battlefield, but it only lasts for a few seconds before it becomes dull!
War, death, gunfire!
The soldiers have become numb. They pull the trigger numbly and hide behind the bunker——
Over the course of one night, Gaevra's soldiers took advantage of the decrease in the intensity of the firefight in the second half of the night to quickly build some bunkers and dig many single or double trenches that could barely hide people!
Including some Gefra people, they also became numb.
Death and fear seemed to have completely disappeared from their bodies, and they kept repeating the simplest actions.
A little after eight o'clock, suddenly a large amount of dust rose up on the battlefield of Pengeo. It was an artillery bombardment!
The soldiers on the front line looked back towards the mountains in surprise and surprise. The shelling meant that the artillery had entered a place where it could be fired, and they were one step closer to evacuation.
At the same time, the support of artillery boosted their morale. With the support of artillery, the enemy could not continue to advance unscrupulously. They also had to consider whether they could withstand the artillery shells!
Walking on the site of shelling is a very scary thing. That kind of pressure, both physical and psychological, can make even the strongest soldiers nervous!
The roar of the artillery temporarily stopped the Pengeo people's attack, but this does not mean that they can rely on artillery to fight against the Pengeo people!
They have large fortifications and can only barely deal with these enemies. Now let alone those fortifications, they don't even have the strength to fight back!
The real turning point occurred at 11:22.
At that time, when the commander-in-chief of Amelia Theater was still complaining that the federal air force was coming too slowly, they watched with their own eyes the planes flying from behind the Pengeo people and launched a round of bombing and bombing attacks on Pengeo's position. Shoot!
They used dandelion cluster bombs, the kind that would jump up and explode. Sometimes they would also smash into the soil, but they would jump up and explode when they were slightly touched!
In addition to the Dandelion cluster bombs, there are also a small number of Firebreather incendiary bombs.
There were not many bombers supporting this side this time, because their mission was to assist the Gefra people in controlling the skies in the mountains, not to engage in counterattacks and strategic bombing.
In such military operations, fighter jets are obviously more effective than bombers.
But they still brought some bombers over.
Originally, the Federals could arrive at the battlefield around ten o'clock. They gathered from the island chain and took off. After flying for more than ten hours, they were almost able to enter the sky above the battlefield.
But the officer in charge of this combat mission had a sudden idea. They took some bombers in a circle, inserted into the rear of the Penteo people from further east in Amelia, and then all the way west.
Along the way, no one doubted who these planes flying from east to west belonged to. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that the planes were flying faster and at a higher altitude.
In short, as "reinforcements", they stabbed the knife directly into the chest of the Penteo people!
The flames of the Flamethrower's incendiary bombs cannot be extinguished easily. The Pengeo people know how terrifying it is and call it "Devil's Fire" or "Hell's Fire".
The Imperial Academy of Sciences has also been studying imitation methods and countermeasures, but so far, there has not been much progress.
Their suggestion to the frontline soldiers was that if flames fell on their bodies, they could just cut off the skin and flesh together with the fire before the flames burned through the skin.
But if it burns through the skin and lands on the chest, waist, abdomen or even head, the best way is to give yourself a shot to avoid too much pain!
The Imperial Academy of Science has tried to extinguish it. It cannot be said that it is impossible, but the more harsh methods can only be used in laboratories or on a small scale.
So no one is willing to face this special flame!
As thick smoke and flames rose at the same time, the sound of firefights on the battlefield also became weaker.
The Gaevras took the opportunity to continue shrinking and slowly retreated.
The three hundred new federal fighter jets that joined the battlefield immediately helped the Gevra people gain air supremacy. The Pengeo Air Force, which had played a fool's game against the Federal Air Force in Nagaril, retreated at 11:50 and fought all night. The fighting also temporarily stopped.
Only temporarily.
The sudden addition of fighter planes by the Federals and their bombing over the Pengeo positions caused the Pengeo people to temporarily lose the ability to organize an attack.
At the same time, their fighters began to shrink and air superiority was lost.
Under such circumstances, there is no other meaning than to have to fight hard, except for a few more rounds of bombing.
But this is only temporary. After they have sorted themselves out, they will definitely launch a new round of attack!
Taking advantage of this period of time, the team of Gefra people entering the mountain was shortened a lot, but the atmosphere became even more tense...
At this time, in the rear, Ryan was standing next to an airplane. He was covering his fuselage with a piece of cardboard and applying paint to the airplane through the space left on the cardboard.
Beside him, there was a photographer and a reporter.
The reporter is a beautiful blonde girl with bold clothes and red lips.
Many soldiers whistled at her, and apart from occasionally rolling her eyes, she mostly focused on Ryan.
"What is this, Lieutenant Ryan?"
Ryan has been promoted to lieutenant. This is the benefit that the title of "Federal Hero" brings to him!
He will rise through the ranks faster than anyone else, to the rank of colonel!
It's not that he is not qualified to become a general, but at this time, he must choose a team before he can be promoted to a general.
In the military, "team" is also very important, even more important than politics!
In the political arena, politicians must at least maintain the most basic decency towards politicians who are not in the same hostile or neutral camp as themselves.
They will not be too obvious, such as directly making things difficult for the other party. This will leave a bad impression on everyone and may also be criticized by public opinion.
Sometimes the people care about something strange. They don't care how many lies those politicians tell. They only care about whether the politicians who receive the wages they pay in exchange for taxes show noble qualities!
But in the military, people aren't so reserved.
If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you make things difficult, you will make things difficult in the open.
If Ryan wants to become a general, he must choose a team.
But fortunately, he doesn't need to make a choice yet!
Ryan, who had been applying the stars evenly, turned to look at the reporter and introduced her, "You saw it, it is just a star, but this star means that I shot down an enemy plane."
"If you pay attention to the fighter jets around you, you will find that there are more or less stars on them."
"I wish I could paint stars all over my plane!"
A very heroic answer, and this is also Ryan's own idea.
Before his injury was completely healed, he began to receive the most basic training as a pilot.
At this time, due to technological limitations, the selection of fighter pilots was not so stringent that they could not even have a scar.
Blackstone Aviation's fighter jets are slightly faster in the air, but they are only too fast and do not place a heavy burden on the pilot's body.
So Ryan passed the theory and physical exams easily, and then he started flying.
Maybe he is very young, and young people learn things quickly.
Maybe he did have a talent for flying, and he soon mastered the essentials of flying.
Considering that Ryan will be widely publicized as a "federal hero", the military also gave him a lot of freedom.
Within a week, he began flying a fighter jet alone for some combat training.
There are methods for fighter jets to compete in the air, and although it has only been around for a short time as a weapon of war, some star pilots have already emerged.
They will teach you some combat skills, such as fast ring pulling, or how to avoid bullets fired by enemies from behind, etc.
Ryan practiced very hard, but it was also very effective.
This time it was not his turn to perform the mission, but he expressed his determination to come. In the end, the Air Force Department arranged for him a relatively new fighter jet as his vehicle.
At this time, he was filled with a dazzling light in front of the camera.
From navy stormtroopers to army to tankers to pilots, if he finally returns to the ship and becomes a sailor, he will have experienced all the arms that the Federation can experience!
The military thought this would be good propaganda material, if he didn't die!
The female reporter looked at the other planes, and there were indeed some stars. She then asked, "Lieutenant Lane, this is your first time to join the battle as a fighter pilot."
"And the first time you participated in a battle, you shot down an enemy plane. Do you have any special feelings? Are you excited?"
The photographer standing behind the female reporter suddenly pointed to his pocket. Ryan was stunned for a moment and immediately realized something.
He took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one, then placed the cigarettes on the wing, along with his lighter.
The photographer promptly gave a close-up of the cigarette and lighter. It was the cigarette at every moment and it was placed in just the right position.
This program has many sponsors. The project is promoted by the military and funded by Congress, but for the TV station, advertising is also a source of income.
The military is not opposed to advertising breaks, and the TV station also said that it can donate part of the money to the veterans club to improve the treatment of veterans, so the military will not refuse.
After the photographer made the "perfect" gesture, Ryan began to talk to the camera and reporters calmly about his journey of shooting down an enemy plane for the first time...
