But the three bright spots seemed to have no intention of leaving. Instead, they came closer to the formation, getting closer and closer. After a few minutes, they had entered the airspace of about 40 kilometers.
"Beep" The radar of Plane No. 77 issued a warning again.
Pilot No. 77's heart was slightly shaken. He immediately lowered his head and glanced at the radar screen. He found that three bright spots suddenly appeared at ten o'clock on the left front. He frowned slightly.
"Please note that three new suspicious targets have been discovered at ten o'clock on the left front, at a distance of seventy-five kilometers." No. 77 issued the warning again, this time with a slightly more serious tone.
"It seems that the Americans use three aircraft as a small group to perform patrol missions." Zuo Yunfeng said thoughtfully after receiving the news.
Half a minute later, Plane No. 77 suddenly discovered that three more planes were following behind the first batch of planes discovered directly in front. He immediately reported the discovery, and his nerves really He tensed up and his face became much more solemn.
"The whole team turned thirty degrees to the right and avoided the suspicious target to the right." After Zuo Yunfeng thought for a while, he immediately decided to form a formation to avoid this battle that should be easily won and change direction to fly.
Because they don't want the US military to discover the target three hundred kilometers away from the Edel fleet, then their fighter jets will quickly turn around and transmit the message back to the fleet. Zuo Yunfeng cannot guarantee that every battle will shoot down all nearby US military fighter jets. , and there will be some suspicious ships passing below. Once a battle breaks out, the target will be more likely to be exposed.
Thirty kilometers away from the US military aircraft in front, the Zhenguo Army formation collectively maneuvered to the right. They gradually bypassed the light spots on the radar and flew forward.
But the good times did not last long, and bright spots began to appear frequently on the radar screen in front of the left, the front on the right, and even the radar screen on the right. This was already an airspace densely patrolled by US military aircraft, and there were more and more US military aircraft.
"It seems that it is not possible to avoid these gangsters. We will choose the weakest link of the US military to rush over to reduce the possibility of being discovered by them." Zuo Yunfeng saw that the situation had changed a lot. , If you want to pass through this airspace quietly, you may not be able to do it anymore, so you immediately alert the entire team and prepare to fight.
The two fighter squadrons began to gradually distance themselves and flew towards an airspace ahead with only three US military aircraft. However, the nearby airspace soon became more complicated, and scattered aircraft began to appear in the front, rear, left and right of the formation. It is difficult for all US military aircraft to avoid them.
At this time, the No. 77 reconnaissance plane had retreated to the rear of the fighter squadron, allowing the two fighter squadrons to rush to the front. The two groups of aircraft, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded the three US aircraft in a clamping manner.
In terms of strength, the surrounded US military aircraft have no way to escape, and their speed will not give them a chance to escape.
"The enemy plane is twenty kilometers away from us. Speed ??up and rush over. Don't let them escape." Zuo Yunfeng, who was commanding from a rear position, gradually discovered the three targets with airborne radar and immediately issued the order.
The planes of the two squadrons quickly surrounded the US military, but the speed of the US aircraft was only more than 200 kilometers, which was more than twice as slow as the J-2 aircraft. They were still looking around leisurely, not realizing that the danger was approaching. They are approaching.
When Zuo Yunfeng was about ten kilometers away from the US military aircraft, he found that three US military aircraft began to turn around and fly away.
"The enemy plane has discovered us and is chasing us." Zuo Yunfeng could already see the small target ahead with his naked eyes, about eight kilometers away. It should be the three US military planes. He estimated that the other party had also seen them. After all, they have more targets and are easier to see by the naked eye.
"Chase"
Thirty fighter jets chased after them without hesitation, and the two bomber detachments at the rear also followed up, maintaining a full speed of about 600 kilometers and keeping a certain distance from the fighter jets to avoid losing touch.
"There are US military planes coming from both sides. There are more and more of their planes. We must deal with the first three targets as soon as possible. Then we divide the troops into two groups and guard the bombers from the left and right sides." As the distance from the enemy planes gradually gets closer, the left Yunfeng's nerves became tighter and tighter. He could already see other bright spots on the radar screen passing through from the left and right.
Not only Zuo Yunfeng, but also the reconnaissance planes gradually discovered that the surrounding US military aircraft were flying towards them. Some of them may have arrived after discovering the target, and some of them had just entered the airspace without knowing it. The situation became worse and worse. Get angry.
Three U.S. troops in front preparing to fleeA few minutes later, the aircraft was overtaken by the Zhenguo Army aircraft. Sure enough, they had discovered the target. They saw a dozen aircraft approaching them, and then used their binoculars to see that it was not a US military aircraft, so they immediately turned around and headed towards them. Escape from the rear and notify the US military aircraft within a few kilometers nearby that they have discovered the enemy's situation. The nearby US military aircraft have fled.
The three US military planes chose to fly away from three directions separately, which made it more difficult to destroy them. Zuo Yunfeng had to order the formation to be divided into three groups to attack the three planes that were facing forward, left front, and right respectively. There were US military aircraft escaping in three directions, and as they dispersed to chase the enemy, they would face even more US military aircraft.
"Go ahead, kill them." Looking at more and more US military planes on the radar screen, Zuo Yunfeng thought for a while and decided to deal with these three planes first. Then they might not have so much time to pursue them.
On a US military plane, the US pilot turned his head and looked at the five Zhenguo Army aircraft chasing behind him in horror. His face immediately turned green. The speed of the J-2 aircraft gradually expanded in the US pilot's pupils. The speed made the pilot stunned.
"It's over, we can't escape." The American pilot was panicking, sweating profusely, and looking around to see if any teammates would miraculously appear nearby to save his life.
¡°Then reality made the pilot immediately despair. Except for the five J-2 aircraft that had arrived one kilometer behind him, no other targets appeared. The US pilot¡¯s face immediately turned pale.
He started to pull the control stick, swayed the aircraft left and right, and then made a rapid climb in an attempt to make a final struggle. However, this action, which looked very clumsy to the J-2 pilot, really made people laugh.
¡°Da da da da da¡.¡±
Almost at the same time, two J-2 aircraft opened fire on the US aircraft. With lightning speed, they approached a hundred meters behind the butt of the dark horse aircraft of the US military and bit it tightly.
"Dong dong dong" A harsh sound of gold and iron came from the US military aircraft. The US pilot's heart beat violently with these sounds. After shaking his head and realizing that he was still alive, he continued to swing the plane's machine. Wings, fly forward.
Just a few seconds later, when the US military pilot looked up and saw a plane suddenly appearing from above and behind him, his pupils dilated to the extreme, and fear suddenly filled his entire heart. This time he was completely desperate.
"Da da da da da." The J-2 pilot flew above, then dived quickly toward the Black Horse aircraft and fired the cannon on its back.
"Boom" The Black Horse aircraft turned into a blazing fire with a huge explosion, and then fell towards the sea below with thick black smoke.
Soon the other two US military aircraft were overtaken by the J-2 aircraft and destroyed. However, one of the aircraft had already sent out the message. Several US military aircraft nearby learned about the enemy's situation and fled to the right.
Zuo Yunfeng wanted to intercept those US military fighter planes, but he saw more and more bright spots on the radar screen and felt that protecting the bombers from passing through this airspace was the most important thing at this time, so he chose to give up.
Zuo Yunfeng then divided the fighter jets into three formations, one in the left, right and forward directions, and sandwiched the bomber group in the middle to prevent them from being harassed by US fighter jets, because some US military aircraft had already discovered the formation and were heading towards them. Coming closer, four or five groups of planes were approaching them sporadically. One group assembled about ten fighter jets and came from the front left position, a distance of twenty kilometers away.
¡°Fly forward and eliminate threats along the way.¡± Zuo Yunfeng¡¯s rapid words reached the headsets of other teammates.
"Target found on the left"
"Target found ahead"
The quiet trip has gradually come to an end. The number of US military aircraft has increased, and the pilots' conversations with each other have become more numerous and confusing. Zuo Yunfeng has turned off the frequency band that can directly communicate with everyone, and changed it to a frequency band that can only communicate with a few people. In the frequency band where the squadron leader contacts, the squadron leader is given the order first, and then each squadron leader forwards his own order to avoid too much noise, causing the pilot to not hear the order clearly and causing the fighter plane to be delayed.
"Da da da¡¡"
Firefights were heard again from the front and left. In order to ensure that the fighter pilots did not fall behind, the bombers slowed down and allowed the fighters to fly a certain distance away from the center of the formation to clear out the approaching US aircraft.
Generally, when U.S. military aircraft approach from the left or right, the formation will simply ignore them. The formation can use speed to rush past, and when the U.S. military aircraft approaches, they will??Can no longer catch up.
"As for the US military aircraft coming from the front left, right or front, the formation has to send fighter jets to intercept them, otherwise they will run into the formation and pose a threat to the bombers.
"Ten kilometers ahead on the left, there are two targets approaching, get on"
Six fighter jets stretched out towards the left front. They had to ensure that they shot down the US aircraft five kilometers away and could not let them get close to the center of the formation.
Amidst the two huge explosions, the two US military aircraft were easily shot down by the J-2 aircraft, because when the six aircraft approached them, they found that they were just two US military torpedo planes. Their combat effectiveness was not high, and they soon fell in They were locked and shot down when they were twisting their butts and preparing to escape. The six aircraft then gradually approached the formation and returned to the bomber.
"Accelerate, accelerate"
In order to avoid excessive entanglement with the US aircraft, the aircraft in the formation began to speed up and rush forward. After the US aircraft gradually learned the news, they began to rush from the surroundings. They quickly formed squadron formations. They chased towards the sides and front, but many U.S. military formations could not keep up, so they had no choice but to watch as the Zhenguo Army formations passed them by.
Although the US military aircraft have discovered the incoming enemy, their aircraft communication capabilities are limited. They can only rely on the radio codes sent by the reconnaissance aircraft to notify the fleet of the discovery of the enemy, but cannot directly notify the fleet command center using voice communication.
When the nearest U.S. military plane relayed the message to a reconnaissance plane through the air relay, more than twenty minutes had passed. Because the U.S. military did not have a reconnaissance plane in the nearby airspace, it was difficult for their formations to communicate with each other. They can exchange messages with each other only when planes cross over. They cannot communicate with each other over a distance of more than five kilometers.
At this time, the Zhenguo Army formation passed all the way and destroyed seven or eight US military aircraft that were confused about the situation and were involved in the encirclement of J-2 aircraft. Among them were three fighter jets, two bombers and two torpedo planes.
When the Zhenguo Army formation approached the sea a hundred kilometers away from the US military, the alarm on the US aircraft carrier had already sounded. The personnel on each US ship were in a high state of combat readiness. The personnel on the aircraft carrier deck did not move much and immediately Everyone started to move and got into their positions. The US aircraft carrier-based aircraft began to take off slowly, but the time was not enough for them, because it took about half a minute to a minute to take off a fighter jet, and it took the remaining fighter jets to take off. Taking off is not an easy task either.
It only takes about ten minutes for the Zhenguo Army aircraft to arrive from the aircraft carrier. During this period, the US military can only take off about fifty fighter planes. The remaining seventy or eighty fighter planes may not be able to take off in time, so the US military tries its best to let the fighter jets take off first. , because they are the hope of shooting down the J-2 and H-2 aircraft.
The U.S. military has long considered emergency measures for this kind of emergency. Their fighter jets near the aircraft carrier have begun to assemble in the airspace where the Zhenguo Army aircraft are attacking. Finally, two fighter squadrons were completed eighty kilometers away from the aircraft carrier. After a quick assembly, other fighter squadrons are gathering over this sea area. It is estimated that within ten or twenty minutes, two more fighter squadrons will be able to enter the battle.
It will take 20 minutes for the remaining US military aircraft that are farther away to arrive at this location, and it is estimated that it will take more than half an hour for the scattered US military aircraft to arrive.
"A large number of U.S. military aircraft appeared ahead, ready to fight." A J-2 pilot was flying at the front. He had already seen the formation of U.S. military aircraft getting closer and closer to him on the radar, and was rushing towards him. He immediately reminded loudly stand up.
Zuo Yunfeng suddenly pulled the joystick, raising the aircraft's head high, and then flew up to a height of about fifty meters. He looked at the group of US military aircraft in the distance. They were still within five kilometers of him. In addition, he saw more than twenty US Army Dark Horse fighter jets and immediately knew the specific model of the target.
Zuo Yunfeng's thoughts were racing and his mind was working rapidly. He was thinking about what tactics he wanted to use to attack in order to achieve the best effect. If they went up to them at this time and entangled with the US fighter jets, this air battle would take a long time. Moreover, more and more US military aircraft will appear nearby. If this continues, the bomber formation will be in danger, and the plan to bomb the US aircraft carrier may be ruined.
He quickly analyzed the pros and cons. After more than ten seconds, his eyes flashed, and he gradually became firm and made a new decision. He immediately shouted into the microphone: "First Squadron, go to fight the US fighter jets. The second squadron covers the bomber formation and continues to move forward. We must get close to the US aircraft carrier first, otherwise their carriers will have enough time to take off to meet the enemy, and the effect of this raid will be greatly reduced."
After Zuo Yunfeng thought about it, he finally made a decision. He decided to let the bombers break out and approach the US military aircraft no matter what.Mother, even if she keeps the First Squadron within the encirclement of the US military, she has to make such a sacrifice.
"First team, follow me." The No. 53 fighter plane driven by the captain of the first squadron immediately accelerated towards the front with a group of fighter planes to attack.
The second squadron, with two bomber formations, began to bypass the US military formation in front and passed diagonally from the right. They would keep moving forward and no longer stop.
"Buzz" More than a dozen J-2 aircraft roared past like lightning and flint, and with a piercing scream, they swooped towards the U.S. dark horse formation.
"Click, click, click" The J-2 aircraft began to spread out to both sides, widening the distance, and at the same time, the front fighter plane had opened fire.
Climbing, flipping, and turning sharply, each of the difficult maneuvers were performed on the J-2 aircraft. They avoided the front where the US military firepower was concentrated, and began to maneuver and change directions from up, down, left, and right, and rushed towards the US fighter planes.
"Click, click, click" Violent machine guns and aircraft cannons started. The J-2 aircraft roaring in the sky were like ghosts surrounding the US military aircraft, making them unable to figure out each other's position.
The U.S. military was dazzled, and the gap was immediately apparent. The clumsy maneuverability of the U.S. military aircraft caused them to suffer a big loss again.
"Boom" A US military aircraft was shot down by a J-2 aircraft that suddenly appeared behind him, and fell down in thick smoke.
There are planes flying back and forth everywhere in the sky. It is difficult to tell where the J-2 aircraft is and where the US Army Dark Horse fighter jets are. More often than not, the J-2 aircraft are circling around the Dark Horse fighter jets, taking advantage of their speed to compete with the opponent. When the fight comes together, the Dark Horse fighters sometimes take advantage of their luck and put on machine guns. A very small number of excellent US military pilots rely on small-scale maneuvers to escape the lock of the J-2 aircraft, keenly looking for the J-2 aircraft that suddenly appears in their ideal position, and carry out strikes. More US military pilots are mostly passive defensive and rarely active offensive.
The entire sky was roaring and roaring, and the formation led by Zuo Yunfeng had already passed through from the right, getting rid of the constraints of this airspace and sprinting forward at a high speed.
