The entire aviation mobilized and the battle for air supremacy became unsurprising.

By the early morning of the 26th, there were only 1f-22,238 f-35s, 201 f-35c, 74f-35b and 128f/a-18e//f left in the US fighter jets, with 8e--11a, 6 ep-11, 23 e-2d, e-12 and 36 kc-767 left in the South Korean Air Force. The situation in the South Korean Air Force was even worse, with only 23 f--2 left in the remaining.

2k, 88f-35k, 35 f-15k and 1f-16c/dd, and only 2e-111 and 6 e-2d support aircraft. In sharp contrast, the Republic Air Force invested 44j-14 and 278f-15, HNA invested 120j-1 and 44j-15b, and a total of kj-22, 12kz-199, 24dy-14 and 12jy-15.

Although the forces of both sides are evenly matched, the US military has "abandoned" the Peninsula War and will not fight for South Korea.

At this time of the battle, the Republic's air superiority had already been reflected. When HNA was mobilizing, at least two squadrons of J-15b rushed to the battlefield and bombed the Korean-US coalition military camps and material warehouses near the 38th parallel (mainly Kaesong and Haizhou) under the cover of the J-14b aircraft group. With the arrival of HNA's "big troops", the Air Force also dispatched some J-15a aircraft group to perform the battlefield blocking bombing mission in the early morning of the 26th.

Seizing air supremacy becomes the first step to winning the line.

In the early morning of the 26th, the entire Air Force support aircraft group was dispatched, not only dispatching 120y-14 and 60y-15, but also allowing 30 to remove the jy-15 of the internal oil tank to airdrop combat materials.

Unlike the 153rd Brigade, this battle is much more difficult.

The average distance from the 8 airborne bases of the 163rd Brigade is 370 kilometers away from the 8 air force bases. Including the time of loading and unloading personnel and the organization and dispatching site, it takes 180 minutes for a round trip of the transport aircraft to travel. Even if the preparation time before the first airdrop is left, the transport aircraft fleet can only complete two airdrop missions before dawn. If it weren't for more than 50 HNA's transport aircraft arriving at around 3 a.m., the Air Force would drop the combat troops of the 163rd Brigade and about 1,200~: combat materials before dawn, and the 3,000~: material airdrop volume required by the task.

The real test is still to come.

After dawn, the pilots of the Air Force support fleet only took two hours of rest. The main reason is that after the transport aircraft were dispatched for two consecutive times, they needed to be inspected and maintained (if the Air Force's operating rules are strictly implemented, maintenance must be carried out in accordance with prescribed procedures after each flight), otherwise the pilot would not have the opportunity to rest.

At 9:00 on the 26th, the fleet took off again.

This land mission is to send the 173rd Brigade to the designated location before 16 o'clock.

The pilots of the support group of aircraft can still rest. The pilots of the tactical fighter troops are not so lucky.

After dawn, many fighter pilots had breakfast on the way to the toilet. A group of pilots also asked the base military doctor to ask for high-energy nutritional solution.

Ground crew seizes all time to inspect and maintain fighter jets, and try to shorten the preparation time for fighter jets to take off.

At 8:35, Liang Guoxiang took off from Yushu Air Force Base for the third time in a J-1 fighter jet.

By this time, there were only 15 fighter jets left in the C011th Brigade. Although the special forces found three parachuting pilots at night, two pilots were still "missed".

After the battle reached this point, Liang Guoxiang no longer had the energy to pay attention to those "missed" comrades.

The pilot not only has to fight against the enemy, but also with the will.

"I understand, the escort mission!" Di Boqing breathed a sigh of relief, knocked on the bulletproof glass separated in the center of the cockpit, and said, "Brother Liang, it's easy this time. Our mission is to escort the bomber."

"bomber?"

"Yes, the Air Force's h-99 will meet in fifteen minutes."

Liang Guoxiang frowned slightly. "Walking forward to escort, or accompanying escort?"

"We are responsible for accompanying escorts, and the 111th Brigade and the 112th Brigade are responsible for forward escorts."

"Damn, I gave my fat to my own people again."

"Brother Liang, there is nothing to complain about." Di Boqing knew who Liang Guoxiang was scolding, "The bomber group dropped bombs over the ancient encyclopedia. We will retreat later and there will be no chance of air combat."

After hearing what his partner said, Liang Guoxiang didn't say anything else.

No matter where the bomber dropped bombs, Jia Baoguo and Lin Jue were a little skewed when arranging combat missions.

In the first two tasks, the 1st Battalion was nominally the main force, but in fact it has been hovering on the edge of the battlefield, because the main task of the US Air Force was to cover the retreat of the 7th Infantry Division on the eastern battlefield, and the tasks on the western battlefield were undertaken by the South Korean Air Force. The South Korean Air Force was afraid of being beaten. Not only would it not compete with the Republic's fighter jets for air supremacy, but it also often retreated in advance and actively avoided air combat. If the entire brigade had not done its best, the three results were given to the brigade's captain, and Mei Lechi, who shot down enemy planes in the last two tasks, had surpassed Liang Guoxiang.

This invisible competition has existed between the Air Force and HNA for decades.

Although the senior management never instructed the combat troops to seize results or credit, the officers and soldiers of the grassroots troops all valued collective honor more than anything else. In order to preserve the title of "number one ace" for HNA, many pilots voluntarily gave up the opportunity to attack, allowing Liang Guoxiang to increase his victory.

This moved Liang Guoxiang and made him angry.

If

Will this happen when you go to the main task?

After 9 o'clock, the C011th Brigade joined forces with a formation of 12 H-99 bombers.

Liang Guoxiang placed two squadrons on the left and right front of the bomber group, and kept a distance of 1c to 15 kilometers from the bomber group.

The 11th Regiment's ground air-controlling fighter brigade (the two brigades of fighter aircraft combined have less than 20) flew about 1 kilometer ahead.

Di Boqing was right, Mei Lechi did not get a chance.

The fighter jets of the South Korean and American coalition forces have been driven south of the 38th parallel, and will not even take the initiative to cross the Chuncheon to the Seoul line to avoid fighting against Republic fighters.

Before the escort fleet that had arrived in front reached the 38th parallel, the bomber dropped ammunition over the Guchan Tunchuan.

It is not an air-launched cruise missile, but a guided bomb with rocket booster engine and glider wings installed.

Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing were both surprised when they saw bombs flying south, because the bombs were equipped with laser seekers and needed guidance from the frontline troops. The problem was that the 173rd Airborne Brigade had not yet set off, and there was no ground troops south of Guchantunchuan.

Is it possible for fighters to attack the target with laser light?

Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing both felt it was unlikely, because whether in HNA or the Air Force, such tasks were generally undertaken by air defense suppression and electronic warfare aircraft such as DJ-13b or DJ-11b, and at least they should be responsible for the J-15 series fighter jets on the attack mission. The J-5 group deployed in the Northeast region has not taken off yet, and HNA has not sent new combat forces.

"It must be a special forces. Brother Liang, do you think Su Mingjin will cross the 38th parallel?"

"How do I know?" Liang Guoxiang asked back, "I hope it's not him, this is not a good job."

"Okay, it's useless for us to worry." Seeing the message appearing on the screen, Di Boqing said, "The bomber has dropped the bomb, and it's time for us to return."

"Is there any new mission?"

"Not yet, let's patrol and stand by on standby on Datong River."

"Damn it, it's on standby again." Liang Guoxiang cursed in a low voice, "Please be careful, follow the bomber and return to the sky above Datong River to patrol and standby."

When the j-14b aircraft group turned back, the bomb dropped by h-9 was still on its way to the target.

Another two batches of 24h-99 bombers have launched hundreds of long-range cruise missiles over Changbai Mountain north of the Yalu River and Tumen River.

The first round of bombing mainly hit South Korean air bases within 1 kilometer south of the 38th parallel and around Seoul.

The 12h-9 aircraft group covers the j-1 aircraft group is mainly responsible for bombing field airports.

Using air-fired cruise missiles to bomb field airports not only does it not cost much consumption, but it is also difficult to cause a devastating blow to field airports with little infrastructure and poor conditions. The "ideal" ammunition to deal with field airports is guided bombs with more loading and greater power.

Before dawn, the General Staff’s direct special forces crossed the 38th parallel and entered South Korea.

In order to achieve the goal of paralyzing the Korean Air Force field airport, bombs on the field airports targeted the South Korean army's material storage locations and officers' camps, and there was no easy-to-burning runway.

All the attacks on regular air bases are cruise missiles with much longer ranges.

Most cruise missiles carry mother-child anti-runway warheads, and only a few attack hangars, military camps, warehouses, navigation radars, dispatch centers, pilot rest centers and other important target cruise missiles are equipped with anti-personnel/armored child-child warheads or high-explosive warheads.

This blow came very suddenly.

Although the South Korean Air Force's early warning aircraft and the long-range air defense alert radar deployed in Chuncheon discovered that the bomber group appeared above Guchantunchuan (H--9's stealth ability is far less than that of B-2), the South Korean army did not expect that the Republic's strategic bomber opportunity would actively attack military targets in South Korea, so they failed to respond in time.

It was not until the first batch of bombs fell that the South Korean army realized that the Republic would burn the war into South Korea.

It was too late to sound the air defense alarm.

In less than 1 c o'clock, hundreds of bombs and hundreds of cruise missiles fell one after another. The 12 field airports of the 8th South Korean Air Force Base in the area north of 37 north were all bombed. Only one air base ground air defense force responded in time and shot down several air-launched cruise missiles!

The outside world did not know that when the war broke out into South Korea, Liu Zongchun's first reaction was to "escape".

After ordering the air defense forces to launch a counterattack with the Air Force, Yoo Zongchun left Seoul and headed for Dachuan to the south. The South Korean president, who held high the banner of "national unification", was very worried about being "beheaded" by the Republic Air Force!

In fact, this round of bombing did not cause much damage to the South Korean Air Force.

According to the photos taken by the reconnaissance satellites, fewer than the South Korean fighter jets were blown up on the ground, and most of them were old F-16c/dd fighters.

As early as the 24th, the "main force" of the South Korean Air Force moved to the air force base near Gwangju and Changwon.

South Korean air bases north of latitude 37 have become "field airports", and only fighter jets that are damaged and unable to return to the southern airport will land here.

In a political sense, this bombing not only declared the Republic's determination, but also "comprehensively" the Peninsula War.

Not only North Korea north of the 38th parallel is the battlefield, but South Korea south of the 38th parallel is also the battlefield! (To be continued,)
