Under the attack of these advanced fighter jets, they firmly grasped air superiority.

Almost no enemy fighter can last long against the JF-17 Thunder.

Meanwhile, the bombers carried out high-altitude bombing raids on the islands below.

Because the pilots of these JF-17 Thunder bombers have sufficiently advanced bombing skills, they can ensure that the error is not too large even at high altitudes.

High-altitude bombing may have errors, but it can reduce the probability of one's own aircraft being hit by anti-aircraft guns.

Therefore, even though the anti-aircraft guns kept firing, they didn't shoot down a single JF-17 Thunder bomber.

After completing their bombing mission, these JF-17 Thunder bombers returned to base along the same route.

The islands on the ground were still burning, the buildings were still ablaze, and soldiers were running out of the buildings, some of them still covered in burning gasoline.

Because some bombers are equipped with gasoline incendiary bombs.

Once these petrol bombs come into contact with the human body, they cannot be extinguished no matter what.

And those fighter jets that didn't have time to take off were burning and turned into scrap metal; they would forever lose their chance to fly.

All the airstrips were bombed and cannot be restored in a short period of time.

The island has lost its strategic value.

"Report.

The first squadron completed its planned bombing mission and began its return journey.

"The fighter crews are still fighting the enemy. They will return after depleting 70% of their ammunition!" the squadron leader reported to his superiors.

More and more land-based fighter jets are being deployed to the front-line island battlefields.

The JF-17 fighter jets have completely secured air superiority over the Central Sea Islands.

And the JF-17 Navy began to advance little by little.

The carrier battle group began to gradually take over the enemy's islands.

Right now, something like that is happening on a battlefield somewhere on an island.

The JF-17 carrier battle group.

The carrier battle group commander looked at the nautical chart in front of him and pointed to the two connected islands that were the target.

"All fighter jets and bombers took off."

The battle group controls air superiority, and bombers target enemy shore artillery, aircraft shells, and ships.

Warships use their cannons to launch attacks from a distance.

The attack lasted for thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes later, landing ships will be deployed to prepare for the landing, and marines will board the island and seize control!

"yes!"

In the command center on the bridge, orders were relayed down one after another.

Five minutes later.

Attack launched.

Fighter jets and bombers were deployed, but on this island, not even fighter jets took off.

Because there are several large craters on the runway, it is impossible to meet the conditions for takeoff.

This is an airstrip that was destroyed by land-based fighter-bombers during their bombing missions.

This greatly reduced the difficulty of taking over these islands.

Just one hour later.

These islands have almost completely lost their ability to resist.

The amphibious landing ship began to approach the coast and launched several amphibious tanks.

The amphibious tanks seized the beachhead first, followed by the Marines.

"Hands up and surrender, lay down your arms and you will not be killed!" the fighter jets broadcast repeatedly from high above.

One by one, the island's garrison began to raise white flags, throw down their weapons, and surrender.

With the enemy completely suppressing them on land, sea, and air, and being isolated and without support on an island, they had no chance to retreat.

Although they were all soldiers of the Doyle Empire, they were all low-ranking soldiers. There was no need for them to risk their lives for a little bit of military pay.

So naturally, when all hope was lost, they all chose to surrender.

The entire battle lasted less than two hours.

The island was completely lost.

This situation is being repeated.

It lasted for more than half a month.

It looked as if the Doyle Empire had completely given up resistance.

However, despite such an advantage, the JF-17 Navy slowed down its offensive pace, and sometimes even chose not to attack at all.

Each carrier battle group also maintains 24-hour combat readiness, with a large number of fighter jets deployed on those aircraft carriers to ensure that at least one squadron of fighter jets can take off to engage the enemy at any time.

Inside the bridge command post of the flagship of the JF-17 second carrier battle group.

Marshal Medusa's expression was very serious.

"The enemy has not launched an attack, but instead allows us to continue our offensive."

"This is absolutely problematic!" a staff officer said with a serious expression.

"However, we now control nearly half of the Central Sea Islands."

What kind of scheme does the Doyle Empire have?

And could this be a ruse by the Doyle Empire?

They may have consumed a lot of naval resources to prepare for that previous expedition, so they were unable to launch a counterattack in a short period of time after seeing us organize four carrier battle groups to launch an attack.

"So let's just use the empty city stratagem, which can actually buy us time!" another staff officer said thoughtfully.

Is being too clever for your own good a recipe for disaster?

If the Doyle Empire is truly on this level, then it has indeed fallen into the trap of the Dragon Kingdom.

Marshal Medusa stood to the side, her expression remaining solemn.

She had considered all the issues that these staff officers were thinking about.

This is also a problem she's currently struggling with.

She had a premonition that the Doyle Empire would not only be able to organize one expedition but also run out of steam.

That most likely means they have some kind of plan.

But what exactly is the plan?

Marshal Medusa stared at the nautical chart before her, her head involuntarily turning towards the sky.

It's a pity about the thick clouds in the sky.

Without these clouds and fog, satellites could clearly show what tactics the enemy had prepared.

These clouds and mists are like a cage, completely enveloping the Central Sea Islands!

cage?

Marshal Medusa seemed to have made a connection to something.

He suddenly lowered his head and looked at the entire Central Sea Islands in front of him.

"Where are our four carrier battle groups located now?" Marshal Medusa asked hurriedly.

The deputy commander next to him pointed to four locations on the nautical chart.

"Our four carrier strike groups are located in these four positions."

On the nautical chart, three of the four JF-17 carrier battle groups are located in the South China Sea Islands, while the other carrier battle group is located further back.

It forms a perfect rhombus shape.

The JF-17 carrier battle group located at the very back is actually within the Middle East Islands.

"What if the Doyle Empire is trying to trap us in the Middle Sea Islands?" Marshal Medusa suddenly blurted out.

The staff officers around him were taken aback.

They quickly realized what it meant.

Several staff officers began gesturing on the nautical chart.

"Currently, all four of our carrier battle groups are located in the South China Sea Islands."

If the enemy were to come from both sides of the Zhonghai Islands at this time, completely surrounding our Zhonghai Islands side.

Then we'll be trapped here!

Because we are located within an archipelago, there is not much room for maneuver.

If the enemy insists on blocking us, our warships will face a very bad battlefield environment.

"Some waterways are simply not wide enough for our warships to maneuver!" the staff officer said with a serious expression.

"But it's such a big half-circle."

"Does the Doyle Empire have that many warships?" another staff officer asked in surprise.

His pen drew a half-circle on the nautical chart.

"According to our calculations."

To completely encircle the outer half of the Central Sea Islands on our side.

It would take at least two thousand warships to achieve this!

Two thousand ships would be barely enough; to completely and utterly annihilate us here, we would need more than three thousand ships!

Based on the clues and information we had previously received.

The size and development time of the Doyle Empire.

The limit is 1,500 warships; 2,000 is already the limit.

It's simply impossible for the fleet to reach a scale of three thousand ships.

Of course, if you include wooden sailboats, the number could reach three thousand.

However, wooden sailboats were hardly any fighting force.

"That means there might be a very bad outcome," Marshal Medusa said solemnly. "Our enemy may not be just the Doyle Empire!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

The Doyle Empire has reinforcements!

If that's really the case.

That puts the four carrier strike groups here in a rather unfavorable situation.

"Should we evacuate the Central Sea Islands immediately?" an officer of staff asked, sensing something was amiss.

"We need to withdraw."

However, we cannot evacuate immediately.

The enemy must still be watching us.

If our retreat is obvious, the enemy will surely impose a blockade immediately.

Therefore, we can't make it too obvious.

We need to secretly arrange for the warships to evacuate while simultaneously deploying another fleet to attack the enemy's islands.

"This gives the enemy the impression that we haven't discovered any signs of their plan," Marshal Medusa said solemnly.

Although it is unknown how many warships the enemy has prepared.
