The 51st Division arrived before Pine Mountain, and every part of the division began assembling into formation.
Once they had adjusted into an offensive posture, the Division Commander immediately called for support.
"Requesting an air force sortie from headquarters."
As the radio signal was transmitted, the Great Xia Expeditionary Army command headquarters received the request.
As commander-in-chief, Qin was present this time.
"Approved!"
The air force began moving, taking off from the nearest airfields.
A full fifty sorties began flying toward Pine Mountain.
In the previous war, the air force had always been used as reconnaissance aircraft and had not played a direct role.

Their contribution to the war had not been small.

Playing a supporting role was not their goal.
As the shrieking planes streaked overhead, the commander of the 51st Division smiled.
They had witnessed air force exercises before and knew how terrifying bombing could be.

Strictly speaking, it could be fitted with machine guns or bombs, making it an early fighter with no clear distinction between roles.
Perhaps in the future, such an ambiguous designation would not achieve maximum efficiency.
But for the present-day Great Xia, it was perfectly suited.
The New Divine United Kingdom's 10th Division clearly had not expected the first wave of attacks to come from above.
They naturally had anti-aircraft autocannons
