The Red Army's offensive fleet flew steadily, getting closer and closer to the Blue Army's northern defense zone. The new airborne active phase-controlled radar of the KJ-500 early warning aircraft conducted uninterrupted scanning and search of the air.
wait.
Waiting quietly and anxiously.
This is a situation that distresses most men, and the whole process seems to last forever.
Second after second, precious time passed slowly like running water. The Red Army's offensive fleet was getting closer and closer to the Quzhou base. The Blue Army's early warning aircraft and two J-10as turned around to maintain a safe distance of 300 kilometers from the Red Army's fleet.
Did the Blues really detect any abnormal signs?
Or maybe you're suspicious?
Or is it that the First Squadron has been discovered?
There was silence in the KJ-500 cabin, with only the sound of electronic equipment working. The lieutenant colonel and commander clenched his hands tightly, held his breath, and forced himself to remain calm. His mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
To be honest, for him personally, this is the first time he has participated in and directed the national Skyhawk military exercise.
The annual Sky Eagle military exercise is related to the fresh blood of the Air Force and Hainan Airlines, and is related to the most precious young eagles. Its influence and importance are highly valued and paid attention to by superior organizations.
"drop!"
It seemed like a day had passed, and it seemed that only a second had passed. Just when the main fleet of the Red Army's frontal aircraft was only 500 kilometers away from the Quzhou base, the airborne equipment sent out a prompt sound, detecting the situation of the Blue Army's fleet.
"The report found that the Blue Army aircraft group was found at a distance of 350 kilometers, bearing 180 due south, 8 aircraft, speed 900, altitude 2000 meters, radar reflection characteristics of J-10a. The Blue Army was dispatched in full force, heading straight towards our army, with obvious intentions. ."
Looking at the data information displayed on the screen of the airborne equipment, the main operator breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reported the battlefield situation: "Our main aircraft fleet and the enemy's main aircraft fleet will come into contact in 13 minutes. The contact point is 352 kilometers away from the Blue Army headquarters. "
With 8 J-10As, plus 2 fighter planes performing combat readiness patrol missions, the Blue Army's air combat strength can be said to be overwhelming!
The total number reaches 10. This number may seem inconspicuous, but it is enough to change a low-intensity local war and make the air force of a small country tremble.
"Okay, good, very good, the Blues finally took the bait!"
Hearing these words, the fearful lieutenant colonel commander felt relieved. The big stone hanging in his heart fell. A cold look flashed in his eyes and he asked: "Where is the first squadron?"
"The First Squadron has entered the Dabie Mountains. It is still 520 kilometers away from the destination. The speed is 650 kilometers per hour. It is expected to arrive at the target in 48 minutes and carry out the bombing mission." The deputy radar operator, who was always paying attention to the position and whereabouts of the First Squadron, quickly reported .
The lieutenant colonel commander nodded, thought about it in his mind, and issued an order: "Order the second squadron and the third squadron to carry out guerrilla warfare according to the original plan, maintain a distance of 50 kilometers from the blue army, tease the other side, and be sure to give me enough delay. time."
The distance is 50 kilometers, which happens to be within the maximum range of the PL-12 fourth-generation active medium-range air-to-air missile and outside the missile's no-escape zone.
It's an interesting distance.
At this distance, if the J-10a launches missiles for beyond-visual-range strikes, sorry, our own fleet of aircraft will immediately turn around, slap their butts and run away, easily escape, and can also taunt and attract hatred.
The PL-12 fourth-generation active missile is indeed powerful, with a maximum speed of Mach 4. It is at the same level as the Russian-made R-77 medium-range missile, second only to the U.S. military’s most advanced aim-120c medium-range missile, and ranks among the world’s first-class medium-range missiles. of ranks.
No matter how powerful the comprehensive performance of the missile is, we cannot ignore objective factors and facts. The target is outside the no-escape zone and we can only stare blankly.
"yes!"
The main radar operator responded, switching the encrypted communication channel with both hands and issuing combat orders to the Second and Third Squadrons.
The Blue Army has taken the bait, and participating fighter jets are dispatched in full force. Now, the core task of the Red Army's front main fleet is to use aerial guerrilla tactics evolved from the core tactical concepts of ground guerrilla warfare to delay time and try to lure the Blue Army's main fleet.
If we want to fight, we are outside the no-escape zone of the PL-12 active bomb. Information support is provided through the early warning aircraft, and the combat aircraft group immediately escapes.
If you don’t fight, sorry, then keep a distance of 50 kilometers, put pressure on the Quzhou base, and disrupt your combat deployment and plans.
If you want to retreat, I will pursue you in turn, as long as you don't mind being breached in the air defense line.
50 kilometers, a distance unit that makes the Blue Army want to stop.
When the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack - the guerrilla tactics used by the weak against the strong are the essence of combat that embodies thousands of years of Chinese military wisdom. It can be called a true classic and is not only applicable on the ground. , more suitable for air combat.
It is an idiot to confront the enemy head-on despite knowing one's own disadvantage.
…
In the north, the sun is scorching and the heat is unbearable.
In the sky in the south, dark clouds gathered in layers, with different shapes, and there was an imminent hint of rain, as if a storm was about to hit.
The red and blue aircraft groups flying head-on at high speed had a relative movement speed of up to 375 meters per second, breaking through the 100 kilometers limit and approaching rapidly.
"Combat data is transmitted simultaneously. The weather forecast shows that it will rain in 2 hours. Quzhou, Eagle Squadron, and Golden Eagle Squadron, please pay attention. The Red Army aircraft fleet is about to enter the missile no-escape zone."
Red Fox, a girl from the Blue Army's Tianyan No. 1 combat team, tapped the keyboard with her slender and round fingers to transmit the radar-detected air data to the two squadrons through the battlefield data link. She looked at the screen of the airborne electronic equipment and observed. The various parameters of the red and blue fleets showed doubts on their faces: "Strange, what do the Red Army think, really want to touch an egg against a stone?"
Confuse.
Puzzling.
The Red Army aircraft fleet composed of 14 participating higher education institutions was located 100 kilometers directly in front of the eight J-10a aircraft. They had no idea of escape and gave people a heroic and tenacious aura.
With a troop ratio of 14:8, facing the J-10A fleet, the Red Army fleet, which was about to enter the PL-12 missile no-escape zone, was quite aggressive in attacking.
Already given up?
No, there is no reason.
Even if the Red Army is limited by military exercise rules and forced to attack, it will not give up.
So, what is the other person thinking?
"The data has been received, Miss Fox. We haven't seen each other for many days since we last parted. We miss you very much." As the captain of the Eagle Squadron, his face was relaxed. He held the stick in his right hand and teased while checking the combat data. .
"What kind of fox girl? She is a red fox girl. I'm right. After finishing the new flight today, I went back to add extra chicken legs. I heard that I can have a small vacation. Unfortunately, this year's new flight for the Red Army was a bit miserable. Even 380 kilometers was not enough. Didn’t touch it.”
In the Blue Army's encrypted communication channel, a magnetic and slightly hoarse voice came out: "Red Fox sister, let's go on a vacation together?"
