If possible working a unit round to the rear to pick off encourage routing units would be high in my mind. Mortar & airstrike vs low morale could cause a route with little extra input.
If attacking from the rear looked good at the start might have used time before airstrike to get there & set my route hex so I routed in the same direction as them.
Yeah, a lot depends on terrain, distance to close, and direction of air strike.
