Chapter 133, offense is the best defense

() As two anti-ship missiles hit the Salam one after another, the Iranian Navy corvette sank in the open sea of the Persian Gulf, while other aircraft of the formation also hit four missile boats, which sank one after another

After doing all this, the people of the Air Force finally let out a bad breath, and the long-term blockade of the coastline by the Iranian Navy can be imagined

But at this moment, the radar of the formation in front suddenly spotted a fighter plane from Iran, and at the same time in the Basra missile brigade, it was also discovered that Iranian fighter planes were flying towards them, but they waited intently, but found that the shè range of the anti-aircraft missile could not cover that far

In the end, the only way to determine what kind of fighter is by the speed and energy of the opponent's aircraft and send the results to the Air Force

"Ten enemy planes were found on the radar screen, which were judged to be Mirage fighters," and Xiami directly connected to the command of the Air Force

Aziz, who was in command, quickly sent this information to the planes that were fighting, but the combat planes who got the news did not care that most of the fighters of the Iranian Air Force were American-made products, which the Shah of Iran bought from the Americans before the revolution in Iran

At that time, Iran and the United States were in a honeymoon period, so the US military even sold the best F-14 Tomcat fighter to Iran, and Iran was the only fighter in the world other than the United States to have an F-14, which was considered the most advanced at that time

However, since the revolution in Iran, because the main fighters are from the United States, many aircraft are in disrepair and have low combat effectiveness, which is also a helpless thing, after all, the aircraft needs regular maintenance, and some parts will inevitably be replaced during maintenance

These parts are difficult for Iran to make by itself, and only the United States has this technology in the world, and after the Iran-Iraq war, the overall strength of the Iranian Air Force has declined

A total of more than 400 fighters, 300 of which are made in the United States, and most of them are early aircraft of the US military, such as the F-5F-6F-the most advanced, that is, the F-14, and the US military has long retired this kind of fighter jet, using the more mature F15 and F16, the two main fighters with high and low single matches

The Iranian Air Force is their old adversary, and they have not taken advantage of them during the Iran-Iraq war, so the Basrah Air Force knows their long-cherished enemy very well, and even the latest intelligence tells them that the most advanced fighter in Iran's hands is still the MiG-

Or the export type, you must know that the export type MiG-29 and the Basra Air Force in the hands of these original ultimate version of the MiG-29 are very different, and they are definitely much stronger than the export version in terms of xìng energy

The most important thing is that the radar screen shows that there are only 10 of them, and they have 30 of them, or MiG-29s, with Su-made advanced Russian-made fighters, as long as they do not fly under the nose of the Iranian Air Defense Force, they can shoot down the 10 Iranian fighters that took off without losing a single one

This self-confidence stems from the judgment of one's own flying skills and the advantages of the aircraft

However, the radar screen showed that the Iranian fighters had just entered their range and began to return home, apparently they would not fight this air battle with a huge disparity in strength, much to the disappointment of the pilots in Basra, although this time the victory was always a little unhappy

"Attention all formations start to return," at this moment, Bai Wuchang suddenly gave an order

The pilots knew what to do without urging, but at this moment, a voice came from the No. 1 of the Flying Birds: "The Flying Fish Formation listened to the order, half returned and half pursued the enemy plane with me."

As soon as this order was finished, Asuka 1 started a supersonic cruise and chased after the Iranian plane disappeared, and all the pilots were stunned, who the hell was listening

But soon they reacted, of course, they listened to the prophet, even if Bai Wuchang was their supreme commander, in their hearts, the prophet was the greatest, and such an exciting thing, how could they return without participating, but soon they were faced with another question, which half of them returned

From Canglong's order, they knew very well that the prophet did not understand air command, and it was completely nonsense, and if such an order was under the threat of enemy aircraft, it would only reduce their execution rate, which would lead to possible dangers

But at this time, Bai Wuchang spoke: "The first to sixth teams follow the rest of the prophet's team back to the base."

Everyone heard that their supreme commander was a little annoyed, because the Prophet pursued the enemy planes without any hesitation, and in fact it was a very risky thing to do, and once they entered the Iranian coastal waters, they would be within the range of the Iranian air defense forces, and they would be at great risk at that time

However, at this time, they had all been boiled by the Prophet's blood, even if this battle order was so unwise, they were willing to follow it

The 7th and 8th squads, which received the order to return home, could only return to the air base, and although they were unwilling, they still carried out the order

After turning on the supersonic cruise, Bai Wuchang immediately transmitted this information to the missile brigade and the general headquarters, and at this time they all pinched a cold sweat, after all, they were fighting on the high seas before, and they were still far away from Iranian territory, but now Canglong is deep into Iranian territory, which is completely different

But they had no choice but to make a countermeasure to contain Iran's ground forces, and Badr ordered the field division to cross the Shatt al-Arab and attack Iran

At the same time, six of the 12 battalions under the jurisdiction of the Missile Brigade Association followed the field division into Iran to increase the coverage of the missile brigade and escort Canglong's upcoming adventure

But they all knew very well that although the ground forces were ready for combat, they would definitely not be able to catch up with the speed of the air force, after all, Canglong was piloting an airplane

"Head, what the hell do you want to do" After catching up with Canglong, Bai Wuchang started a separate radio conversation

"Pursue enemy planes and air strikes on Iran," Canglong replied to him with eight words

"As far as we are concerned, how can the planes attack Iran without bombers, you are a personal heroism, once we launch an air war with Iranian fighters in Iran, we will directly become the target of the Iranian air defense force, not to mention whether the air attack can escape back, it is a question," Bai Wuchang tried to persuade Canglong with the actual situation

It's a pity that Canglong has made up his mind: "I don't think it's a personal heroic idea, I have this decision after I got on the fighter, and I think this is the best opportunity to attack Iran, if even you think that air strikes on Iran is a dangerous thing, then of course the Iranian Air Force and Air Defense Force will think so, which gives us the best opportunity to take advantage of its slack and attack it unprepared"

"I'm wrong, you're not just individual heroism, you're a personal heroism, and now we're alone, and without the cooperation of the army, it's an air raid on their military port, what can we do, we don't have bombers, and the losses caused by Iran are negligible," Bai Wuchang said, "I think we should go back and think about it in the long run, at least inform the army, let them know our intentions, so as to cooperate with us to achieve the best results."

"Think about it in the long run," Canglong sneered, "Don't you think your words are funny, since we controlled Basra until now, the enemies around us have never given us, from the time of long-term planning, now is the time to test the army, if they can't adapt to the situation, what is the use of raising them, do we really want the enemy to invade our territory again and slaughter our people, can we fight back?"

Bai Wuchang stopped talking

"We should take the initiative to attack, when someone invades our territory, we must not only beat them back, but also burn the war on the head of the aggressor, so that they can also taste the pain of war, Basra can't just be beaten, we have no strategic depth, once Iran invades us, the whole Basra will be destroyed" Canglong carefully calculated an account, "we have no way to retreat, so we can only attack, and offense is the best defensive war, and there is no plan at all, seize the fighter plane, and fight until they are served"

After hearing this, Bai Wuchang was silent for a few seconds, and finally gave up persuasion and asked, "You have to tell me your strategic intentions and real goals."

"Eliminate Iranian warplanes, attack Khomeini military port, and sink as many warships in the port as possible," Canglong said

Hearing this, Bai Wuchang nodded, Khomeini Port is the closest military port to Basra of the Iranian Navy, once all the warships in Khomeini Port are destroyed, it will be a major blow to the Iranian Navy, after all, Iran has only five military ports, each of which has a different sea area

Destroying a military port for them, the Iranian Navy will inevitably transfer warships from other military ports, which will weaken the Iranian Navy's control over the Persian Gulf, in a sense, Basra will be much easier, at least not in the face of repeated harassment by the Iranian Navy, and even if the Iranian Navy wants to urgently transfer warships from other military ports to fill the vacancy, it will be difficult, because there is still the US Fifth Fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf, and Iran will not be stupid enough to transfer warships against several other military ports of the Fifth Fleet

In the face of the powerful US Navy's Fifth Fleet, the entire Iranian Navy is not an opponent, let alone weakening the strength of major military ports to fill the gaps, and urgent purchase or domestic manufacturing of warships is not something that can be combat-effective at once, and long-term training is required, otherwise it will be a target

After figuring it out, Bai Wuchang turned on the formation's radio communication, and quickly notified the various units of the intention, and also sent their strategic objectives to the General Headquarters, as for how the General Headquarters dealt with it, Bai Wuchang didn't care, whether they were marching into Iran or not, and responding to their attack, it didn't matter, because their speed was definitely not able to catch up with their planes

The important thing is that they should think about how to get back after the air strike

But he didn't have much time to think, because they had penetrated deep into Iranian territorial waters, and the radar had already spotted the retreating Iranian warplanes

Bai Wuchang immediately ordered: "The first squad, the second squad, bite the enemy planes, and be sure to annihilate them all, and the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth squads follow the prophet to advance at full speed, attack Khomeini Harbor, and sink all the warships in the port as much as possible."
