Because Ding Zhennan rested during the flight, he only received the battle report sent by the Silan Garrison Headquarter after he returned to the frontline headquarter the next morning.
Overall, the battle from the night of the 23rd to the early morning of the 24th was full of drama.
As previously mentioned, the first batch of fighter jets dispatched by the Newland Expeditionary Air Force was to intercept bombers, but they encountered the escort fighters of the Empire Air Force. Being too far from their early warning aircraft, they failed to detect the approaching escort fighters in time. As a result, all the Newland Expeditionary Air Force fighters were defeated in the first round of engagement, and almost all the dispatched heavy fighters were shot down, failing to complete the interception task.
However, this was just the beginning.
