Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 705 Now is the most critical moment, Lao Li, you have to keep calm no matter what!

Lin Zhenhua killed a Japanese soldier and launched a surprise attack, causing the Japanese 18th Flying Division to suffer heavy losses. This incident also aroused the ferocity of the Japanese soldiers.

Under the personal leadership of Ichiro Fujiwara, the main force of the 18th Flying Division was fully dispatched, carrying a large number of bombs, and rushed towards Niangzi Pass.

Lin Zhenhua did not dare to neglect after receiving the news. He knew very well that with the current strength of the Air Force Regiment, it really could not compete with the main force of the Japanese. Now he could only adopt the tactic of you fight yours and I fight mine.

"Order the fighter units to stand by, and the bomber units to rush to the No. 9 airspace, looking for the right opportunity to attack the enemy's rear transportation lines."

"We are much weaker than the Japanese. Now is not the best time for a decisive battle. When the strength of the enemy and us is close to equilibrium, it will be the best time for us to seize air superiority on the battlefield."

Under Lin Zhenhua's order, the Air Force Regiment adopted a passive tactic of preserving fighter planes and allowed the Japanese to bomb, causing considerable casualties to the front-line troops.

Li Yunlong couldn't sit still after learning about it. He called the airport and asked angrily, "College student, why the hell are you a coward?"

"Just because your air force regiment didn't go out during the day today, the defenders of Niangzi Pass suffered casualties of nearly a battalion of soldiers. What the hell do you have to say?"

Listening to the harsh questioning coming from the microphone, Lin Zhenhua's face looked very ugly. After learning about the casualties on the front line, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but since he had made the decision, he did not regret it.

"Old Li, don't be angry. I know you are very resentful of me and think that I should mobilize the entire air force regiment to fight the Japanese!"

"But I really can't act rashly. The Air Force Regiment has suffered heavy losses after many battles. Now it only has 70% of its combat power left."

"In terms of the air power comparison between the enemy and us, we are not in an advantage like before, but are gradually losing ground. The difference in numbers alone is giving me a headache."

"Although the arsenal is working overtime to produce fighter planes, and even the wooden fighter planes have not stopped production, we still cannot make up for the shortage in quantity."

"We have gained a lot of advantages in the two consecutive night bombing operations, and narrowed the gap in the number of fighter planes between the two sides. But the Japanese are not fools, and they have long seen through our sinister intentions. Today's counterattack shows that the Japanese want to fight a decisive battle with us."

"This further proves that our previous actions were correct. Especially at this time, we must remain calm and must not be foolish enough to confront the Japanese head-on. That would be a really stupid move!"

"There is no need to worry about the battle on the ground. With our current strong military strength, we have nothing to fear in a war of attrition with the Japanese. But the only thing we cannot do is lose air superiority on the battlefield. Once we lose air superiority on the battlefield, the situation will be completely changed."

"I'm not exaggerating at all. The reason why we were able to capture Taiyuan City and Niangzi Pass before was because we had the advantage of air superiority. Otherwise, with our strength, we would not be able to capture Taiyuan City and Niangzi Pass even if we fought for a year or two."

"Don't think I'm joking, I'm telling the truth. You, Old Li, have to hold your ground at this time. Even if the losses on the front line are huge, we can't engage in an air battle with the devils in advance. That will only put us in danger!"
