章 1173: Chapter 880: Paratroopers Show Their Might

After several hours of flight, under the protection of the Australasian Air Force, over a hundred SOP-34 transport planes successfully reached the airspace above the Ryukyu Islands and, according to the plan, split into two formations, one heading towards Naha and the other towards the harbor.

To protect these transport planes, the Australasian Air Force mobilized several times the number of fighter aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft for escort, and likewise provided aerial firepower support for the paratroopers who made successful jumps.

Indeed, due to the night-time movement of hundreds of airplanes, the entire fleet's progress was quite slow.

As the planes gradually approached the drop zones, the paratroopers inside the transport planes were also making intense yet orderly battle preparations.
