On August 9, 1844, the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation force once again dispatched a large number of fighter planes to launch a surprise attack on the Bahamas, intending to destroy the Russian Empire Marine Corps’ fortifications in the Bahamas and the airports on the islands.
They had already learned that the 5th Division of the Lighthouse Marine Corps had been annihilated. This naturally made the Lighthouse people even less worried. In other words, they could go all out.
This time, the Lighthouse Army Air Force dispatched thousands of P-41 fighters to cover more than 200 B-25 medium bombers and more than 100 B-17 heavy bombers.
The Lighthouse Navy’s shore-based aviation force also dispatched 500 F4G fighters to cover more than 200 SBD2 dive bombers.
Faced with the huge fleet dispatched by the Lighthouse people, the Russian Empire Navy naturally had no choice but to fight back.
This time, the Lighthouse Navy dispatched more than 1,400 MiG-41 fighters for interception.
The two sides launched a very fierce air battle over the Bahamas.
This time, the scale of the carrier-based fighters launched by the Russian Empire Navy was less than that of the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation units.
However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Russian Empire Navy is definitely more advantageous.
In addition, in order to intercept the Lighthouse fleet as much as possible, the Russian Empire Navy’s aircraft carrier formation has approached the Bahamas.
Under the situation that the entire Bahamas has fallen into the control of the Russian Empire, they are not afraid of exposing their positions when they act here.
In addition, the warships deployed in advance by the Russian Empire Navy are not far from the Florida Peninsula.
As a result, the aircraft of the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation units were discovered by the air search radar on the warships of the Russian Empire Navy as soon as they took off. This enabled the Russian Empire Navy’s aircraft carrier formation to take off carrier-based aircraft in time for interception.
The huge fleets of both sides launched a very fierce battle in the airspace west of the Bahamas.
A large number of MiG-41 fighters were entangled with P-41 fighters and F4G fighters.
For a time, bullets from machine guns and aircraft machine guns shuttled in the air, and fighter planes were constantly hit and fell to the sea with thick smoke.
Even if the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation force were prepared this time. However, the gap in combat power between the two sides is not so easy to make up.
This made the losses of the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation force still much greater than that of the Russian Empire Navy.
In addition, these MiG-41 fighters often began to accelerate to catch up with the bombers after shooting down their opponents. Trying to kill these bombers of the Lighthouse Country as well.
The bombers of the Lighthouse Country Army Air Force and the Navy Shore-based Aviation Force are naturally no match for these MiG-41 fighters.Once caught up, it is often easy to be shot down.
Under such circumstances, the losses of the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation forces began to soar.
After a battle, the Russian Empire Navy lost more than 300 P-41 fighters. The Lighthouse Army Air Force lost more than 600 P-41 fighters, as well as hundreds of B-25 medium bombers and dozens of B-17 heavy bombers.
The Lighthouse Navy’s shore-based aviation forces also lost more than 300 F4G fighters and hundreds of SBD2 dive bombers.
It can be said that in such a fierce air battle, the Lighthouse’s losses are still much greater than those of the Russian Empire, and they can’t get any advantage at all.
However, even so, the attacks of the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation forces did not stop, but instead accelerated their progress.
They are transferring fighter planes from all over the country to the Florida Peninsula and the southeast of the Lighthouse Country to engage in fierce battles with the Russian Empire Navy.
On August 10, the Lighthouse Country Army Air Force once again dispatched thousands of fighters to cover more than 200 bombers to attack the Bahamas. The Lighthouse Country Navy’s shore-based aviation force also took off more than 500 fighters to cover more than 200 dive bombers to attack.
The Russian Empire Navy also took off more than 1,200 MiG-41 fighters to meet the enemy.
In the fierce air battle, the Russian Empire Navy lost more than 400 MiG-41 fighters. But the Lighthouse Country Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation forces suffered even greater losses.
However, the Lighthouse Country also saw that the Russian Empire Navy suffered heavy losses, and the number of carrier-based fighters that could take off and fight was decreasing. This also proved that the advantage on the battlefield was tilting towards them.

Under such circumstances, the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation force are gritting their teeth and persisting, even at the cost of heavy losses. They hope to defeat the Russian Empire Navy.
However, their own losses are too great. This makes the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation force almost unable to hold on.
It can be said that the pressure faced by both sides is very great.
However, it is undoubtedly easier to replenish the strength of the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aviation force. They can draw fighters from other places in the Lighthouse Country for reinforcement.
On the other hand, it is more difficult for the Russian Empire Navy to replenish.
After just three days of fighting, the Russian Empire Navy has lost more than 900 fighters.
In order to replenish fighters, the Russian Empire Navy has already withdrawn 9 aircraft carriers to return to Europe to load more fighters.
However, this will take time. The round trip, plus the replenishment of fighter planes, fuel and other supplies, will take at least half a month.
But if the loss rate continues at this rate, I am afraid that in a few days, there will be no fighter jets in the Russian Empire Navy’s aircraft carrier formation that can take off.
Even for safety, they have to evacuate the Bahamas.
By then, the Russian Empire’s marines that have been deployed to the Bahamas will undoubtedly be in a huge crisis.
If things go wrong, they will be strongly counterattacked by the people of the Lighthouse.
This also forced the Russian Empire Navy to grit its teeth and persist despite knowing that it suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, the Russian Empire Air Force joined the battle in time.
In fact, when the Russian Empire Navy attacked, the Russian Empire Air Force began to prepare.
A large number of cargo ships loaded with MiG-43 fighters set off from major ports.
After the Russian Empire Marines took over the Bahamas, they quickly built a runway at the port for aircraft to take off. So that the fighter planes of the Russian Empire Air Force can take off directly and be deployed to various airports after disembarking.
The Russian Empire Air Force was put into battle, which greatly strengthened the Russian Empire’s combat power in the Bahamas. It would undoubtedly be more difficult for the Lighthouse people to defeat the Russian Empire. .
