The first shot of reprisal wasn't fired by the 101st Air Assault Brigade.
At the start of the reprisal operation, the brigade was still over 100 kilometers behind the lines, with hundreds of soldiers in the midst of an assault mission awaiting orders to depart.
The first to engage in combat was the Air Force Tactical Air Force.
An entire squadron of 20 "Attack-9Bs".
In fact, this was also the first batch of "Attack-9Bs" obtained by the Empire's Air Force.
As previously mentioned, during the design phase, the Empire's Air Force did not require the "Attack-9" to have all-weather capability, especially night combat capability. Therefore, to reduce the difficulty of research and development and to keep the costs within a more acceptable range for the Air Force, complex electronic equipment was not installed in the design, making the "Attack-9A" essentially an attack aircraft that could only operate in daylight.
