It must be admitted that Li Hai and Dangweimin are more or less playful. Since you are not taken seriously, especially if your opponents do not take you seriously, it is very insulting.
Of course, if this was a real battle, it would be a good thing, but this is a drill after all. The Blue Army is a colleague of the Eighth Hai Division, so of course this tone cannot be tolerated.
After all, Li Hai and Li Hai are still "children" at the age of twenty-three. Especially Li Hai, at this age, he neither has the rich experience of his predecessor Li Zhan, nor does he have the very different growth history of his peer Dang Weimin.
Objectively speaking, Li Hai's growth process is relatively smooth. His parents are both army cadres, and his grandparents are old revolutionaries. He grew up in the military compound since he was a child. Even though his parents seldom care about him because of his work, and he doesn't get the kind of paternal love and maternal love that children in ordinary families have, but whenever something happens, the grandparents, uncles and aunts in the compound are all responsible for taking care of him.
Because his parents were not always around, there was naturally not enough discipline. As a result, Li Hai became particularly naughty and caused trouble everywhere. The school teacher probably called his parents more times than all the other students in the class combined. If he continues to develop in this style, his studies will definitely be useless.
Fortunately, his grandparents, as well as the uncles and aunts in the compound, took care of him, and now he has Comrade Li Hai, an outstanding flying rookie.
Children like Li Hai, who come from a dual-military family and grew up in a military compound, have a high outlook and are very arrogant.
Who dares to look down on the children in the army compound?
Of course, to be precise, today's society's respect for military personnel and military families has reached its highest peak since the 1980s, and it is not simply "afraid" or "not afraid."
All in all, he is so arrogant - you look down on me, tell me, I have to let you see that I am a hero and a good man!
Due to this mentality, Li Hai had to act as a pursuer in the current scene.
What the J-8F can do that the J-11B cannot or is difficult to do is the maximum ceiling.
The maximum ceiling record of the J-8F is said to have reached 22,000 meters, which is a full 4,000 meters higher than the J-11B. In terms of maximum speed, it once flew to Mach 2.3 at an altitude of 13,000, which is similar to the J-11B. However, the acceleration performance of the J-8F is better.
Based on the maximum ceiling alone, even if there is a discount, the J-8F can still open up a height difference of at least 3,000 meters with the J-11B - how can you fight if you can't reach it?
Out of the habit of keeping secrets, Li Hai communicated tactics with Dang Weimin through gestures as the formation continued to climb. After a minute or two, the two reached an agreement, and a simple tactic was formed.
Since Li Hai is determined to be an ambitious walk-on, he must find a way to give the J-11B some color.
Theoretically, the air detection range of the J-8F's airborne radar is 100 kilometers, but Li Hai is not naive enough to think that the J-11B can really be detected at this distance, let alone locked on.
Therefore, neither of them turned on the radar, and even maintained radio silence in a tacit agreement. What was even more surprising was that the young Kukai coordinator also had a tacit understanding and would not call them unless necessary.
The height of the soy sauce squadron continued to rise, and the pupils of the air and sea coordinator became larger and larger. He could only turn his head to look at the battlefield air situation surveillance map on the large display screen. Except for him, no one paid attention to what the two lagging J-8Fs were doing. The air defense department's attention was all on the J-11B that broke away from the formation and attacked at high speed, and another J-11B further behind.
The formation has not discovered where the other two J-11Bs responsible for attack missions are. This is the biggest hidden danger at present. The No. 1 commander constantly urged everyone to use various methods to find the two missing J-11Bs, focusing the search on low altitudes below one thousand meters.
They are old rivals, no one knows who, and they all know that besides submarines, the only thing that surface ship formations fear most is low-altitude penetrating fighter jets.
It can be seen that the surface combat formation has relatively rich air defense experience.
"Sixteen thousand!" Coordinator Kukai muttered to himself in surprise. He quickly glanced around and found that no one was still paying attention to the soy sauce team. He smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and continued to pay attention to the soy sauce team. Pay attention - the excitement is destined to be your own and lonely.
In today's air combat, fewer and fewer pilots will climb to altitudes above 15,000 meters. It consumes fuel quickly, and the advantages of higher altitude are not as obvious as in the era of cannon bombardment. Most air battles are fought at altitudes of several thousand meters. This is different from the law of conservation of energy such as "height is advantage", but should be viewed from a relative perspective.
You can gain advantage at an altitude of 8,000 meters, so there is no need to climb to 18,000 meters.
Li Hai insisted on making the Blue Army's air combat unit shine.
As a result, the air and sea coordinator saw that he and Dang Weimin continued to climb to 18,000 meters, without any sign of returning to level flight!
The air-sea coordinator was stunned. It was the first time he had seen an aircraft flying so high.
At this time, Commander No. 1 noticed that it had climbed to 18,000 meters, and he couldn't help but notice.
He strode over and asked, "What's going on with the soy sauce squadron? Shouldn't they accelerate the impact and then turn to attract the attention of the enemy planes?"
The air and sea coordinator quickly reported, "Report to the commander, there are no specific requirements in the combat plan. It just mentioned that the soy sauce detachment should attract the attention of enemy aircraft and provide a certain amount of air cover for the formation. The specific method should be decided by them."
The No. 1 commander nodded slightly. It was true. Since the two J-8Fs were not expected to be effective, they would not pay attention to what they planned to do and what they were doing.
He is worried about safety issues. "Pay attention to the height difference to avoid collisions."
"Understood!" the air and sea coordinator secretly thought. The soy sauce unit was still climbing. It was already a height that was difficult for the J-11B to fly to. The height difference was not a problem at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, Coordinator Kukai's pupils shrank and his mouth opened wide to report, "Commander, their altitude has reached 19,000 meters and they are still climbing!"
Commander No. 1 finally took a serious look, thought for a moment, picked up the microphone and called, "No. 1, I am No. 1. Your altitude continues to rise. What's going on?"
Li Hai had to break the radio silence and replied, "No. 1, we are going to climb to the extreme altitude of 22,000 meters to gain an absolute advantage in altitude difference and attract the attention of the Blue Army fighters. Over!"
After thinking quickly, Commander No. 1 nodded slightly, "A very bold idea, pay attention to safety, over."
Obviously, he understands the performance of the J-8F. Li Hai's idea is very bold, and it is also a way for the J-8F to play some role under the current situation. All in all, what he wants is to attract the attention of the J-11B in order to mobilize the Blue Army.
But, is Li Hai's idea that simple?
The Blue Army looked down upon them, and its own surface combat formation did not include them in the combat system at all. To put it bluntly, it was just a show of letting two fighter jets take off from the Forgotten Reef - they were shot down by Blue Army fighter jets, but the Red Army Without air cover, the formation relied on its own capabilities for air defense operations.
That's the purpose of the drill.
What else does Li Hai want to do? In short, he will not tell the No. 1 Commander. Just like a child, I will hold back my energy and get a hundred points in the exam. I will take it home and throw it on the coffee table with pride. Let you praise me and reward me. !
