Text 220 British reconnaissance dispatch

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It would be too naive to expect that the British fleet would arrive before the actual war began.  The battle actually started with both sides quietly accumulating strength and gathering troops.  The Southern Liberation Army is on the defensive, and is waiting for work, but its relative sea and air strength is somewhat weaker than the British army.  In fact, the main weakness lies in the navy. Although the Royal Air Force has a good fleet, it is impossible to send all of them. If the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean is used as the starting point, the British army can radiate to  The models in Malaya are limited.

    The first to arrive at the Diego Garcia base were three squadrons of the Royal Air Force, including the Victory tanker responsible for aerial refueling, the British version of the B2 Phantom responsible for guarding the base, and the large-scale hunting anti-submarine patrol responsible for reconnaissance and patrol.  machine.  It is worth mentioning that none of these three squadrons were fully dispatched, which is also related to the size of the Diego Garcia base.

    Unlike Ascension Island, which was the base of the Falkland War five years ago, Diego Garcia has a land area of ??only -0 square kilometers, which is two-thirds smaller than Ascension Island.  Although its military facilities are very complete and can park hundreds of large and small fighter planes, this is only a theoretical matter.  Although Diego Garcia is a British territory, it is shared by the United Kingdom and the United States. In fact, the United States has more military power here.  In this way, part of the potential was occupied, preventing the British army from fully utilizing this base.

    The British army notified the United States before the war, hoping that they would temporarily divert some of their fighter planes to vacate the air for the British army. However, the United States was embarrassed that the British had ignored the United States' mediation before, and the United States rejected the British proposal.  This, of course, limited the number of British troops here, so the three first arriving squadrons were not at full strength.

    On Qi Yiming's map, he was also very worried about this isolated island more than 3,000 kilometers away from Malaya. After all, Britain still had a layer of clothing that it had not yet taken off and the sun never set. Although it was not as capable as the United States in its global military deployment,  But it¡¯s not something to be taken lightly.  In terms of these overseas bases that protect the country's overseas interests, they have Ascension Island and the Falkland Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, which can radiate to Africa and South America; in the Mediterranean, they have bases in Gibraltar, which controls the throat, and in Cyprus, which overlooks the Middle East; in the Indian Ocean, there are  Diego Garcia, a deterrent to the South Asian subcontinent and Indochina.  Other miscellaneous bases also have similar functions. At this time, China has no overseas territories and has not built any bases.

    This gave Qi Yiming a strong impulse. At this time, the national policy of not being involved has been basically ruined by Qi Yiming. The next step is to build military bases elsewhere that can safeguard overseas interests.

    Not to mention Qi Yiming¡¯s own calculations, after the British army arrived at Diego Garcia, they immediately showed their professional attitude and actions.  B4 began to conduct protective patrols near Diego Garcia, even though they generally knew that it was unlikely that the Yugoslav Army would be able to send aircraft to such a far place.  On the other hand, two Hunter anti-submarine aircraft of the 51st Squadron of the Royal Air Force took off to conduct reconnaissance in the waters near Malaya.

    The first thing that Chinese military fans react to when it comes to anti-submarine aircraft is actually the P3, which has produced numerous models. Hunter fans may not be familiar with this anti-submarine aircraft, which is based on the British Comet airliner.  The main reason is of course that the Hunter has not been exported and is only used by the Royal Air Force itself. However, this cannot conceal the fact that the actual performance of the Hunter is much more powerful than the P3.

    This anti-submarine aircraft can be said to be the leader in the 1980s, and it was also the only large-scale anti-submarine aircraft at that time. It was not until the American PB Poseidon and the Japanese PI in later generations that there were anti-submarine monsters of similar size.  The mission range of P3 is generally four to five thousand kilometers, while the hunting fan can reach as much as 36 kilometers.  The main reason is that the P3 is an anti-submarine aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of more than 60 tons, while the Hunter is nearly 3 tons.  Of course, with the development of P3, it can carry more and more complex electronic equipment, which also makes it gradually surpass larger hunting fans.

    The cautious British will not send out two anti-submarine aircraft alone. They also know that the air force of the People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China is far stronger than that of the Argentines. The Argentine's Dagger, Super Flag, etc. are just as powerful as the Chinese J-7  - and similar generations, but there is no intelligence showing that Nanjie is now equipped with these second-generation fighters. The only information the British currently have is that Nanjie has dispatched Flying Leopards to perform ground missions.

    In order to seize the Al-Yamaha agreement, the British also did some research on the Flying Leopard and believed that the performance was still far behind their Tornado, especially the flight performance.  But Feibao also has its own strengths, that is, its weapons are more advanced.  There are many complex guided weapons on the ground, and there are active mid-range missiles on the air, which are also things that Guangfeng does not have.

    But the British still believe that the strong wind is stronger than the flying leopard.

    The Hunter did not start the mission immediately after arriving. Instead, it was only after the Royal Air Force's four Tornados transferred all the way from the mainland to the Diego Garcia base on the third day that the British safely dispatched the Hunter and Tornado partners.  A previous Victory tanker provided additional fuel to the high winds.

    Two Tornados were supporting two Hunter anti-submarine aircraft, which took off from Diego Garcia and headed northeast.It sailed through the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, then turned southeast and began collecting intelligence offshore along the Strait of Malacca.

    "Lieutenant Colonel, is it safe for us to fly so close to the enemy?" A young technical sergeant on an anti-submarine aircraft asked his commander worriedly.

    The officer chuckled and comforted him: "Don't worry too much. Nanjie probably doesn't have a powerful enough warning radar. This kind of thing cannot be built in a short while, and Malaysia obviously did not have such valuable equipment before, so  They won't find us that easily."

    It's just that they don't know that Malaysia did not have many air defense warning radars before, and the pL master did not bring many relatively powerful air defense radars, but Qi Yiming has set up a sub-base here, and the base's radar is enough to easily  Detect various targets within a surrounding range of 106 kilometers to 26 kilometers.

    When the British anti-submarine patrol plane passed through the Andaman Islands, Qi Yiming had already received an alert from the base.

    "Send a team of Xiaolongs to say hello." Qi Yiming didn't take it seriously.

    Unlike the British and American aviation organizations, Nanjie adopts a similar pLAR scoop organization model.  The largest establishment under the Air Force Headquarters is the aviation division. This is also because Nanjing Liberation Army itself does not have a large-scale air force, unlike China, which needs a military district establishment.  A British and American aviation squadron has more than ten to more than twenty fighters. The aviation squadrons of the Southern Liberation Army all have four fighters. The group consists of two squadrons with a total of eight fighters. The aviation regiment consists of three flying groups and fighter racks.

    The British army sent a total of five military planes, of which there were only two fighter jets. Qi Yiming responded with eight fighter jets in one go. Obviously, he wanted to teach the British a lesson and tell them that you don't have enough troops. Please send more troops quickly.  .  As for why we do this, of course it¡¯s for the experience points.

    The Southern Liberation Army Air Force actually deployed in Malaya now mainly uses Flying Leopards. Six Flying Leopards have arrived early, while the Xiaolong is mainly ordered to be manufactured and produced by Chengdu Aircraft, so the speed is relatively slow. At the beginning, it was produced at the base.  48 aircraft were allocated here. Later, Chengdu Aircraft quickly built a batch of 2 aircraft and flew them over, and finally made 6 aircraft.

    After the B-frame Xiaolong takes to the sky, it kills the opponent at a high speed of Mach 2.  This batch of Xiaolong has been improved by the design of the base and Chengdu Aircraft, and there are many improvements compared to the original Xiaolong.  The strengthened and slightly enlarged fuselage added a pair of pylons under the wings.  The adjustable air intake allows the Mach number of Xiaolong to reach Mach 2, instead of only Mach 4.  In addition, the new batch of Nanjie's own Xiaolongs use the J-VR13C vector thrust, with an afterburner thrust of 3,000 N, and can make more incredible maneuvers, which greatly improves its air combat capabilities.

    Considering that neither side has explicitly declared war, Qi Yiming sent fighter planes into the sky basically for an interception mission, but in fact he ordered these fighter planes to carry out provocations.

    ¡°We found a large number of unknown targets approaching, they may be enemy interceptor aircraft,¡± the British pilot shouted nervously, warning his comrades.

    "What to do? There are too many. There are eight of them. They are very fast. They should be fighter jets. Can we fight them?

    Even though the two sides have not formally declared war, everyone regards the other as an enemy and must think of the worst.  Immediately, the commander in the air ordered: "The anti-submarine aircraft and tanker aircraft retreat, and the fighter jets stay behind."

    Not long after the two Hunters and a Victory tanker completed their U-turn and retreated, the Xiaolong coming from Formation B had already entered the sight of the two Guangfengs.

    British pilots who had received aircraft identification courses immediately recognized these fighters: "They are China's third-generation export light fighter - Xiaolong. There are dozens of them."

    The older pilot shook his head: "There are too many, and it is difficult for us to defeat four with just one fist. Even if we shoot down many of our opponents, it will be difficult for us to escape."

    The aircraft on both sides made a thrilling head-on, and soon the British pilots were frightened. During the head-on, both sides maintained restraint and did not launch missiles or open fire. However, the treacherous SPAF Air Force made a celestial display to disband the formation.  After Jia Xiaolong passed by at high speed, he did not turn back. Instead, he continued to drive at top speed to pursue the anti-submarine aircraft and tanker aircraft that were preparing to withdraw.

    Hunter fans and Shengli have no ability to defend themselves. They are just white meat on the chopping board and can be cut casually.

    The wind immediately wanted to support his teammates. However, the remaining four dragons have bitten two winds with their more flexible turning advantages. This is no longer time to save others. The two winds must save themselves first.

    In an average two-on-one air battle, even if the Tornado has greater thrust and speed, it cannot escape the pursuit of the two fighters. The cooperation of the two fighters will create a smaller escape corner for it to escape. Even if the Tornado successfully escapes from the tail bite,  They bite each other, but they can only bite one at a time, but the other one can still catch themselves after adjusting.

    So far, no one has opened fire, but the pressure is obviously on the side of the British army. If they open fire, they will face a more ferocious counterattack from the enemy. If they don't open fire, it is very likely.If they are killed by the enemy like this, even the three large planes in front may be directly forced to land by the enemy.
