Chapter 12 "We Must Shatter the Myth of Rocossov's Invincibility!

August 16th, Eagle's Nest.

Air Force Commander Mayer was reporting on yesterday's events, "The enemy has adopted a completely new tactic, their fighter planes no longer accompany the bombers but are instead attacking airbases with rockets and bombs. We organized aerial intercepts as we used to, which left our fighters, just as they were about to take off, vulnerable to a surprise attack by the enemy's squadrons."

The Emperor questioned, "With so many airfields across the nation, and interceptor groups taking off in waves, the enemy cannot possibly attack all airfields at once, there must be a sequence. Did the airfields that weren't attacked not scramble immediately?"
