Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The late gale was actually the British's biggest failure in a normal battle.  If Commander Wetherall had sufficient knowledge of Nanjie's air force, he would definitely let Guangfeng take action first, and use carrier-based aircraft to cooperate to burn the war to the Malayan side first.  But he is a naval officer after all, and he is not enterprising enough. He believes that the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower is strong enough, and arriving first is not a problem. On the contrary, if the strong wind is allowed to arrive early, then these fighters with limited staying time in the air will expose the fleet to the enemy once they complete their mission.  A war zone without more care.

    Anyway, by the time the Tornado fighters arrived, more than half of the British task force had been destroyed

    Although the British army's hurricanes are mainly IDB (ground attack) aircraft, with about seven or eight ADV (air defense interception type), but although the IDB is a combat bomber like the Flying Leopard, it is still slightly maneuverable.  Half a point stronger.  Although it is not an orthodox fighter compared to Xiaolong, it still has a chance to compete.  According to the battle simulation at the base, the theoretical winning rate of Xiaolong and Guangfeng is about 6, which is not an overwhelming advantage, and this data relies heavily on the long-range interception of pL-2.

    Qi Yiming immediately gave instructions: "Expand the space for movement, don't take the initiative to fall into the chaos of the past, use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and try to solve the opponent with medium-range bullets at a long distance."

    The previous aerial melee had to be fought, and Xiaolong needed to protect the fighter-bomber Flying Leopard that was dropping bombs. At this time, the Flying Leopard had returned, and Xiaolong could choose a more flexible combat method to intercept the incoming strong winds.  In fact, the situation has actually turned around. The strong wind now needs to protect the IDB attack type and four Victory bombers fully loaded with ammunition in its own fleet.

    Fifteen Xiaolongs (one of which was shot down by anti-aircraft artillery) were naturally not very reliable against thirty-six enemy aircraft. Fortunately, Qi Yiming responded immediately. A Xiaolong aviation group on emergency standby all took off and flew Xiaolongs.  The dragon drove to a top speed of Mach 2 and rushed to the airspace 400 kilometers away.

    The four Mirage 406s, which Qi Yiming and the French had high hopes for, also formed an aviation squadron and took off with the Xiaolong Aviation Group. Their fuselages have been painted with the star flame symbol representing Nanjie.

    Unlike the PLA Southern Liberation Army, which uses the Bayi red star and uses the star flame in the national flag as its logo, the military aircraft and warships of the Southern Liberation Army are painted similar to the pLA, which are lighter silver gray.

    After eliminating the threat from the carrier-based aircraft in the task force, the South Liberation Army aircraft were less than 60 kilometers away from the rapidly approaching Tornado aircraft group.  There was not much time left for the Xiaolongs to prepare. After receiving Qi Yiming's order, Xiaolong even took the initiative to evade, trying to keep a distance from these Tornado fighters, and waiting for opportunities to attack the big ones in the fleet.  The target is four Victory bombers.

    The Xiaolong equipped with pure air superiority basically carries eight air-to-air missiles, four in the middle and four close in. In the previous round of confrontation, most of the aircraft used short-range combat bombs or even cannons to solve the battle. At this time, a  Shuierdi pL-2 has not been used much yet.  Taking advantage of the strong wind, a few bold Dragon fighter jets took the lead in firing a few pL-2 missiles. They were fire-and-forget weapons anyway. After firing, they immediately maneuvered and began to move with the formation.

    Because this attack was relatively hasty, only one of the many missiles hit a Gust.  The fragmentation damage still caused the Tornado to lose one engine, and the other one was panting heavily and shaking in the air. It seemed that it could no longer continue the fight.

    "Is this the Chinese active mid-range bomb?" British pilot Watson was secretly frightened. Although the attack just now was completely cold-blooded, and they only lost one Guangfeng, everyone knew that this was almost nothing.  prepared stress response.

    "Fighting back" Watson led his companions to use fire control radars to try those Xiaolongs. However, because they are small in size, and many stealth factors from later generations were incorporated into the design, the radar reflection cross-section of the Xiaolongs is relatively small.  , which also makes it difficult for Guofeng, whose radar is not yet the most advanced, to catch them.

    Another factor is that the Xiaolong is reorganizing and changing its formation at high speed. The constantly maneuvering Xiaolong makes the British pilots very troubled. They plan to use semi-active medium-range missiles, which are also developed from the US-made AIM7 Sparrow missile.  Sky-Share missiles, but as long as they are semi-active, their radar must always be locked on the opponent, and the nose of the aircraft must follow the constantly moving Xiaolong.

    Of course, it was difficult to succeed in this way. Several pilots who were under great pressure hurriedly fired their Sky Flash missiles, but all the missiles hit the air and none of them hit.

    "Every two aircraft form a group to pursue enemy aircraft." Almost half of this group of Tornados are mainly equipped with ground weapons, and the Tornados used in escort air combat are not all ADV anti-aircraft interception types. This model is still relatively new.  , mass production began only after the 1980s, so it is not as large as the ground-type IDB.  In this battle, some IDB Guangfeng did not carry bombs, but carried weapons such as AIM Sky Flash to serve as an air combat platform.

    Once balanced in this way, the number of air combat aircraft of the Southern Liberation Army and the British Army is actually roughly the same.Yes, but unlike the previous first half, now two or three aircraft are basically fighting together, fighting each other in a wider airspace, avoiding headaches and chaotic battles.

    It seems that the blast is heavier than the Xiaolong, but in vacuum combat, the full-time fighter Xiaolong will take advantage.  Frankly speaking, the Gale is not a true third-generation fighter, especially in terms of aerodynamics, it is still based on the second-generation fighter.  In addition, it is a combat bomber, so it is still a bit difficult to deal with Xiaolong in aerial combat.

    In order to deal with Britain, the "best fighter", the South Liberation Army Air Force organized multiple rounds of training and simulations and developed some tricks to check and balance the strong wind.

    There is basically not much difference in speed between the two aircraft, so the method of bullying the Sea Harrier cannot be used on Guangfeng.  But Guangfeng still seems a little clumsy compared to Xiaolong, especially when turning and circling, it cannot be as flexible as Xiaolong.

    Therefore, Nanjie pilots often accelerate and then quickly enter a steep turn, especially when the strong wind is following behind them. This large movement can quickly increase the off-axis angle, allowing the Xiaolong's nose to quickly turn to the opponent.  And because of the gap in turning performance, the Xiaolong already has an attack angle to attack quickly before the strong wind reaches the point where the enemy aircraft is always within its sight.

    Of course, this simple HrTru may not necessarily work when faced with more experienced pilots. Some British pilots will use lagging attacks or forward attacks. Of course, both methods require strong timing capabilities.  Moreover, since he maintains full speed during the lagging attack, he is very likely to be targeted by another Xiaolong wingman.

    Relying on its advantageous ability to hover and turn, Xiaolong will also use some skills such as barrel flips or scissor flying to expose and exploit the weakness of Guangfeng, which is not good at such dexterous maneuvers.

    When a Xiaolong found a Guofeng flying behind it, it immediately turned sharply to the right, and the strong Guofeng also turned to the right. When the turning angle exceeded 90 degrees, the Xiaolong made another  He turned over and started to climb quickly, but the strong wind, which could not react in time, still maintained his turning action.  Taking advantage of its own hovering advantage, Xiaolong can delay its hovering speed, thereby increasing its altitude and accumulating its own speed and potential energy. When it lowers its nose and begins to dive, the generally miserable strong wind will inadvertently fly over.  The movement puts Xiaolong at the back and above, while he is at the front and below, facing Xiaolong's attack.

    These are relatively common maneuvers. As long as they study hard and practice hard, qualified pilots can basically complete them.  But when there are still a few Xiaolongs fighting, it is simply incredible.

    Although the Xiaolong is not an excellent high-angle-of-attack fighter, it can still perform many over-stall maneuvers that are still sensational in this era with its powerful -13C vector propulsion engine.

    There was a Xiaolong before that used a performance-like Cobra maneuver to get rid of the opponent and then attack. Although the pendulum maneuver and Herbst wall climbing and other actions, although the Xiaolong is definitely not as good as the B2, -6 and other fighters, it is definitely not as good as the B2, -6 and other fighters.  It's pleasing to the eye, but in the case of the Red Alert pilots, they have removed the performance part of these movements, and after repeated training, they have obtained the most suitable moves for use on the battlefield.

    Royal Air Force Colonel Watson kept hearing the screams of his comrades in the earphones, which were the last screams before being shot down. His face was extremely ugly, "Where did the Chinese get so many excellent pilots?  Are they all monsters? Are they actually ace level?"

    However, Watson is not someone to be trifled with. He is also one of the few flight masters in the Royal Air Force. With the cooperation of his wingmen, Watson bit a Xiaolong and finally found a tiny little one in its rotation.  found a flaw and released two AIM9s to shoot it down.

    "It's so beautiful, Colonel" After the war, he was shot down by Xiaolong fighter jets that were much smaller than his own, which made the British pilots who still had the numerical advantage hold their breath.  At this time, Watson shot down a Nanjing fighter jet at the right time, finally avenging them.

    However, this action aroused even greater anger from the dragons in the sky. F], who had been fighting very patiently at first, suddenly adopted more radical combat methods. They began to pull the British aircraft group with erratic flight, and then looked at each other.  Launch air-to-air missiles from a position that is almost impossible to shoot.

    "This can't be a hit, right?" Watson secretly rejoiced, thinking that the Chinaman had finally lost his mind. He thought that as pilots, their skills were very good, but their psychological quality was still too poor.

    But just when he thought it was impossible for those unsighted missiles to hit the target, those terrifying air-to-air missiles were changing directions in the air like a juggler, and could even turn a large turn of nearly 180 degrees toward the rear.  Call.

    "Is this an over-the-shoulder attack? How is it possible?"

    With a bang, Watson, who originally thought he was absolutely safe, was hit by an air-to-air missile fired by a Xiaolong on his right, and was forced to eject to survive.  And just burnedThe Royal Air Force, which had no confidence at all, seemed to have a basin of cold water poured on its head again at this time.

    "It's a pity that the cold water hasn't been poured out yet. On their radar, more small spots of light appeared from the direction of Malaya - enemy reinforcements have arrived - despair filled everyone's face.
