Munitions Empire

Chapter 1138: 1058 snow white petals

For the landing fleet of the Great Tang Empire, it was actually a bit too tense. They did not encounter the patrolling Zero Fighters, nor saw any Dragon Bombers or similar twin-engine long-range bombers.

It seemed that Mirage Country had not dispatched any aircraft to guard their sea area, so the fleet of the Great Tang Empire continued to advance into the night without encountering Mirage Country’s Navy or Air Force.

The truth of the matter was, the Zero Fighters and Dragon Bombers that were scheduled to go on patrol had all their sorties canceled due to the level 6 bombing.

The Mirage Country’s airfields had been destroyed, and many aircraft were crippled on the ground, making it impossible for them to take off for patrol duties.

Meanwhile, those airfields that were not destroyed were busy from the afternoon into the night with receiving planes returning from other airfields, with no time or manpower to spare for patrol tasks.

Busy with such tasks until nightfall, it was then that Mirage Country realized they had not dispatched any planes for patrols, but by then it was too late to send any.

Thus, the Mirage Country troops on South Island entered the critical night completely unaware of the situation.

Around eight or nine o’clock, the Flying Fortress Bombers launched by the Great Tang Empire arrived over South Island, beginning another round of nighttime bombing.

These bombers dropped a large number of bombs, blasting some areas of Mirage Country’s South Island again. The defending Mirage Country garrison did not know what was happening. They retaliated with their limited number of Anti-Aircraft Guns, which could only scatter the Great Tang Empire bombers dropping bombs near the Great Southern Bay.
