The ear-splitting battle alarm sounded like air-raid sirens in cities, causing shrill and prolonged "Wuuuuuuuuuuuu …" which spread over the camp of no. 46 air cavalry regiment in a split second.
In the canteen of the battalion headquarters, the moment Zhang Tie took a seat and was going to move his chopsticks, he had heard the shrill alarm …
The alarm froze the canteen for less than half a second. "All the teams, prepare for battle, follow me …" Zhang Tie roared as he rushed out of the canteen towards the apron.
At this moment, all the air cavalries of the no. 1 battalion followed Zhang Tie and rushed out like a fiery stream …
"Ahh, what's this … what's this …" Old Gao who was in charge of the canteen of the battalion headquarters came out of the kitchen with a basin of steaming hot stir-fried dishes. At the sight of everyone rushing out of the canteen, Old Gao swore, "F * cking bastards, you can't even have a meal …"
"I will fly off first. All the teams, follow up me according to our usual tactics …" Zhang Tie issued an order as he pulled the zipper of his battle uniform. Zhang Tie didn't run fast; instead, he just ran ahead of all the others. However, such a simple movement had attracted all the other fighters of the no. 1 battalion. Closely after Zhang Tie, all the other fighters rushed out of the canteen with roars. A figure passed by some battalion leaders like a monkey and came to Zhang Tie's side. At the sight of this figure, Zhang Tie shouted, "Fei Hao …"
"Yes, battalion commander, I'm following you …"
Fei Hao was not tall; however, he was very capable. He was the radiator of Zhang Tie's aircraft and one of the best assistant archers in the no. 1 battalion.
After hearing the battle alarm, Zhang Tie's group rushed out of the canteen. Even the ground service fighters of the no. 1 battalion had been busy on both sides of the apron and the runway the moment they heard the battle alarm. Ground service fighters were running everywhere on both sides of the apron and the runway. As the ground service fighters of the air cavalry battalion, they had to be in place before the pilots arrived at the fighters so as to prepare for taking off …
Zhang Tie's fighter plane was in the No. 1 starting position of the entire battalion. Therefore, Zhang Tie was the first one to arrive there. After climbing the ladder, he opened the cockpit cover and entered the cockpit. After that, he sat in the cockpit and opened the throttle switch. After that, he put on the battle helmet and fastened the safety belt. After that, he opened the throttle switch. After that, the ground crew of No. 1 fighter plane rotated the propeller blades of the engine to start the plane. After that, he moved the anti-skid device and the boarding ladder and made a hand gesture to Zhang Tie, indicating that he could take off …
Closely after Zhang Tie, Fei Hao who was sitting behind Zhang Tie also entered the state. After checking the steam ballista, he patted the ballista behind him.
Zhang Tie's aircraft nimbly made a turn and drove out of its parking place. Closely after that, it rushed onto the runway and rushed into the sky first.
At this moment, there was a pattern of a wolf head widely opening its mouth on the nose of all the fighters of the no. 1 battalion which looked grim and full of killing intent.
Closely after Zhang Tie were the fighters of the no. 1 battalion. The other battalions of the no. 1 battalion also took off from the other runways. After entering the sky, all the air cavalries followed Zhang Tie's aircraft and circled above the runways of the no. 1 battalion, waiting for their brothers to catch up with them.
Only after Zhang Tie circled twice in the sky, all the 500 air cavalries of the no. 1 battalion had already taken off like 500 wild wolves in the sky.
After receiving the signal, Zhang Tie led the 500 air cavalries of the no. 1 battalion towards the west.
In this age, battle airplanes were not matched with wireless radios like those before the Catastrophe. Across the air cavalry camp, only Zhang Tie's aircraft was matched with a set of crystal remote-sensing communication device which could be used to contact the regimental headquarters. Therefore, Zhang Tie could keep in touch with the no.
In the emergency, in order to improve the battle efficiency, the air cavalry regiment would directly transmit the battle order through the signal lamp on the command tower.
The crystal remote-sensing communication device in the army was similar to Zhang Tie's remote-sensing finger ring. However, its level was far different from that of Zhang Tie's. Knight's remote-sensing finger ring was made of top-quality remote-sensing crystal, which was small and portable. By contrast, the crystal remote-sensing communication device in the air cavalry camp was almost as large as an alarm clock. Zhang Tie had not used it yet.
In the sky, as the leader of the no. 1 battalion, Zhang Tie would drive his plane to deliver his battle instructions to the fighters of the no. 1 battalion by swaying the wings of the plane and making circles in the sky. It was like how bees passed messages to each other. Although it was not advanced, it was the only choice for the air cavalries of Taixia Country at present.
What shocked Zhang Tie was that there were only 6,000 air cavalries dispatched by Taixia Country after flying over 60 miles away from the base and converging in the sky, namely 12 air cavalry battalions. The 46 air cavalry regiments dispatched 3 battalions while the other 9 battalions came from the bases of other air cavalry regiments.
Humans only dispatched 6,000 fighter jets, which meant that the frontline could only detect about 5,000 wing demons at most. Compared to the air battle involving tens of thousands of people over 1 month ago, this air battle was much smaller in scale.
'What could 5,000 wing demons do?' Zhang Tie was full of doubts. 'Such a number of wing demons is far from enough to break through the first air defense line of humans. Is it a provocation or a tentative attack of demons?'
Nobody could answer Zhang Tie's question. As a small battalion commander of air cavalries, he acted according to the order. Nobody would explain anything to him.
It was over 260 miles away from the base to Weishui River in less than half an hour for those air cavalries I airplanes. Everybody could already see the surging Weishui River and the camps of demons in the distance.
When they looked down from the sky, they found the ground was bleak. Battle fortresses were all over the east and west banks of Weishui River. The camps of humans and demons were as huge as mountains. Neither of them could move the other easily.
Right above the group of airplanes, they could see the lofty Xuanyuan Fortress and the other huge battle fortresses in the sky. Watching Xuanyuan Fortress and the other huge battle fortresses in the sky, they immediately felt that Xuanyuan Fortress was extremely magnificent and oppressive. As for the air cavalries of Taixia Country, the great oppressive sense was also great confidence. As long as all the air cavalries could see Xuanyuan Fortress and those huge battle fortresses in the sky, they would not be flurried.
The airplanes of Taixia Country then flew over Xuanyuan Fortress and those huge battle fortresses.
In the sky above the west bank of Weishui River, many wing demons were patrolling hundreds of meters high in the sky. This was not the battle formation of wing demons. Those wing demons didn't approach Weishui River either. At the sight of this situation, all the 6,000 air cavalries of Taixia Country became dumbfounded. 'What are demons doing? Just now, we've received the order to snipe the wing demons above Weishui River. It seems that the wing demons don't intend to fly over here. Should we rush over there?'
Fighters could be dumbfounded; however, military officers couldn't. At this moment, Zhang Tie could only take out the remote-sensing communication device on the plane and contact the regimental headquarters.
The order from the regimental headquarters was very simple. Air cavalries of the no. 46 air cavalries should patrol above the east bank of Weishui River and see what those wing demons were doing. If wing demons didn't rush over here, they would not rush over there in case of falling into the trap of demons.
This order was firm and steady. Although it was a little conservative, it would not make any mistakes.
The other air cavalries of the other air cavalry regiments should have received the same order as Zhang Tie. The 6,000 airplanes were just hovering above the east bank of Weishui River and waiting for them in a battle formation …
Only after a few minutes, Zhang Tie had known what those wing demons were going to do. At the sight of those people walking out of the camp of demons, Zhang Tie's heart turned cold in a split second …
