Chapter 208: Outside Activities 9
At the same time that the Thais collapsed, the Malaysians also began to give up, turned and fled, and the Malaysians who had the numerical advantage, except for the ones that were shot down earlier, most of them escaped, and of course some fighters were bitten by the fighters that turned earlier, and most of these did not escape back! Now that the Thais have collapsed, Malaysia is certainly not an opponent of the tiger and wolf division, and without even the slightest hesitation, they turned around and fled the war zone, leaving many meritorious pilots helpless. And Lin * is obviously the luckier person, although he did not kill the Thai fighter with a fighting bullet, but he bit the opponent before the Malaysians evacuated, this Malaysian also had no good luck, only slightly better than the Thai, after launching almost all the missiles, he was unwilling to be sent to the sea by the "Demon King" with a fighting bullet. In fact, Lin * is also very regretful, he did not expect the Malaysians to flee in such a hurry, if he had used missiles before, then he would definitely be able to leave the second Malaysian fighter at the bottom of the sea in the Gulf of Thailand, but unfortunately before the launch button was pressed, the enemy had already begun to flee!
The Indonesians did not expect the Thais to collapse so quickly, they were surprised by the constantly beating numbers on the AWACS aircraft, the Thais were defeated, and the Malaysians fled, making their support army a lone army, which was about to break in, only to find that the opponent was consciously putting them in, which made the commanders worried! When the Indonesian Air Force arrived at the battlefield, it was the time when the Second Division of the Navy and the Thais were engaged in a fierce battle to the death, and naturally they were entangled with the First Air Division that had fought each other, and the time difference of a few minutes made the situation on the battlefield change dramatically, and within a few minutes, dozens of coalition fighters had been shot down, and many fighters were forced to withdraw from the battle. The 1st Air Division was like an impenetrable steel wall, firmly holding the enemy to the south, preventing them from having the opportunity to harass friendly forces that were slaughtering the Thais, and when the 2nd HNA Division, which had won the air battle, transferred its firepower to support them, the second group of fighters of the Indonesians also forced into the sky over the Gulf of Thailand, which was fighting fiercely! This has made a dramatic change in the air situation, Indonesia's strength has increased greatly, and the new additions are all new forces with strong impact, but the second division of the HNA is also an elite division, although after fierce air battles, it is already a fatigued division, but the morale is high, and the two sides are almost one-on-one, evenly matched! So, to fight or not? The commanders on both sides were a little hesitant, but the forces were quickly put in. The large force of the 2nd HNA Division has joined up with the 1st Air Division, and the Indonesian Air Force has also been united; However, the 1st Air Division and Indonesia's early contact fighters have begun to separate to a certain extent, but some fighters cannot be separated.
The two sides faced each other with heavy troops, staring at each other, but maintaining a certain degree of restraint, and in the middle were 5 pairs of fighters that were entangled. Lin * and several comrades-in-arms lost no time in seizing the opponent, because they were too tightly entangled, they could not be separated at all, so in this peculiar situation, Lin * and his comrades-in-arms taught hundreds of pilots of the two armies a lesson, diving, pulling, S-shaped horizontal flight, vertical descent...... He did all kinds of textbook moves several times, and in the end his opponent was so impressed that he took one of his missiles and threw himself head-on towards the sea; And almost at the same time that they were separating the winner, the results of other battles also came out, almost one-sided, except for one Indonesian fighter plane that escaped intact, the other three fighters were shot down cleanly, and then each flew in the direction of their own group, so far the two groups of aircraft were completely disengaged!
The second major air battle in the Gulf of Thailand, that is, the third major air battle in Southeast Asia, began with the rout of the Thais, ended with the hasty flight of the Malaysians, and then ended with the return of China and India to their respective bases. In this air battle, the Thais dispatched more than 160 fighters, more than 50 unmanned attack aircraft, nearly 60 Malaysian reinforcements, and more than 180 fighters in the two batches of Indonesians, totaling more than 400 fighters sent by the coalition forces, of which more than 340 are export-oriented advanced fighters from the world's major aviation powers, not including those unmanned attack aircraft that attract Chinese firepower; The Chinese side not only dispatched two main air divisions stationed in Vietnam, but also dispatched more than 40 bombers from China, which brought the number of planes participating in this air battle to more than 620, of which more than 520 directly participated in the fierce air battle. This air battle has left a very deep impression on people, and the coalition forces, which have the advantage of time and place, are still not opponents, and the situation is becoming more and more inseparable from the coalition forces! The battle between China and Thailand was the fiercest, and the winner was the first to be decided, the Thais suffered heavy losses, most of the fighters were shot down or damaged, and a large number of advanced fighters crashed into the sea; However, the losses of the six flight regiments of the Chinese side were quite light, almost less than one-tenth of theirs! The Malaysians, on the other hand, were not able to bargain for the slightest advantage in the face of the "Chinese coalition forces" of the two flying regiments, and only a few Chinese fighters were shot down or damaged, but their own losses reached dozens, and if they did not retreat in time, it was very likely that the entire army would be annihilated. According to statistics, a total of 61 fighters (all advanced fighters) of the Malay-Thai coalition returned to the base intact, losing 164 fighters, of which 129 were shot down or crashed due to improper pilot operation; Correspondingly, of the more than 100 Chinese aircraft participating in the war, only 14 were shot down, and another 4 returned ahead of schedule. And Indonesia's more than 120 fighters, against the main force of the 1st Air Division, the situation is not much better, because both sides found the opponent early, no one took advantage of the other side first, 80 to 120 relative disadvantage, the 1st Air Division paid the price, but also let the opponent suffer greater losses, plus the final show battle, the loss ratio was 24 to 56. Since the 1st Air Force Division had to intercept the enemy's breakthrough and protect the security of friendly forces, the room for maneuver on the battlefield was relatively small, so the pressure was very great, and the losses were relatively serious.
Military experts all over the world were shocked again, the more than 400 fighters of the coalition forces, including more than 340 advanced fighters, and 180 fighters against China, had the advantage of time and place, and enjoyed at least twice the advantage, and were defeated by the Chinese side at a very small price, which is simply an incredible classic battle! Occupy a numerical advantage, the loss rate is as high as 55%, especially the Malaysian-Thai coalition army, 54% and 81% respectively, the powerful Thai Air Force after this battle, almost lost the remaining advanced fighters, the Malaysian Air Force is even worse, all add up to only 100 advanced fighters, almost completely lost air supremacy! On the contrary, the Chinese Air Force, which only participated in the war with two aviation divisions, lost only 42 fighters, and forced the Indonesian Air Force to lose even more combat power! If it is said that in the first and second air battles, the coalition forces still lost a little aggrieved, then after this air duel, no one thinks that the Chinese side won the victory by luck, and the air forces of various countries have compared their Chinese counterparts with their own to see who is superior, but no aviation power can confidently do better! As a result, the world has finally realized that the Chinese Air Force has become a world-class combat team! In the three air battles, a total of more than 1,900 fighters participated, of which the coalition forces accounted for more than 1,180 planes, and the overall strength was 1.6 times that of the Chinese side compared with the coalition forces, and it was more than twice as large as the local battlefield; however, the final result was that the coalition forces lost more than 590 planes, almost half of the fighters were shot down or damaged, and the vast majority of the flying wings were no longer organized or even completely wiped out! Only 94 Chinese fighters were shot down or damaged, the loss rate was less than 14%, and according to the Chinese air force formation, at least 6 aviation divisions of the coalition were destroyed, and their losses were less than one! In these three air battles, at least 440 fighters of the coalition forces were shot down on the battlefield, and due to the loss of sea supremacy, at least 400 pilots were captured or killed directly, and some pilots were unknown in their lives and deaths, and only a small number of pilots returned to their own countries or allies! In addition to a few pilots who died on the battlefield, the 70 pilots who lost their fighters, and the remaining 60 or so were all rescued by warships or submarines cruising near the war zone, and the strength of the two air divisions was not seriously weakened!
Among the three alliances, only Indonesia has maintained at least 240 advanced fighters, and the changes in the battlefield situation are very unfavorable to the coalition forces, especially Malaysia and Thailand in the north, which have lost most of their advanced fighters and lost the ability to fight further. Due to the vast territory of Indonesia and the wide distribution of military bases, it is very difficult to attack from a distance; On the other hand, it is far away from mainland China, so it has not been taken care of; And the most important point is that she is on the periphery, and can directly receive all kinds of support from the United States and Australia, which are more antagonistic, and even if she suffers losses, she will quickly replenish them. But the other two countries are different, first of all, they are closer to China, far away from the United States and Australia, and have always been supported by India, and now the Indian government has retreated, making it more difficult for them to accept traditional supply aid, even if the United States wants to help them, it is more difficult, not only takes time, but also the risk is greater. Indonesia's fighter losses can be replenished very quickly, as long as she pays for it, the Americans are very willing to support, but Malaysia and Thailand are now rich and difficult to get fighters quickly, more troublesome than this is that more than 80% of the captured and sacrificed coalition pilots are theirs, the fighters are gone, they can be replenished, but if the pilots are gone, it is difficult to replenish them in a short time, and it seems that the Chinese side has special "preferential" pilots, whether it is the pilots of the coalition forces or their own pilots.
First of all, China is a powerful country, not only has a strong conventional combat force, but also has an unconventional combat force that maintains the balance of the whole world, even if it is a very ordinary long-range missile, the coalition army and the Chinese side almost have to be hit by long-range artillery fire before fighting, except for Indonesia, all of them have suffered heavy losses in the long-range strikes of the Chinese side, and the non-reciprocity of the war is very obvious. Secondly, judging from the specific situation, China's combat aircraft are all domestically produced, which can be replenished at any time, and even upgraded on the battlefield, and there are also a large number of reserve troops, so there is no problem of supply of fighters at all; What's more, since the start of the war, except for a few pilots who have been killed and wounded, only two have been captured, and the rest of the pilots who fell into the water have all been rescued and will soon be able to return to the blue sky, with almost no losses in combat power! The two aviation divisions stationed in Vietnam were almost at full strength. The Chinese pilots are becoming more and more courageous, more and more experienced, and there are more and more meritorious pilots, and this is the most terrifying part, and many coalition pilots feel bottomless and panicked when they see the many stars on the Chinese fighters!
Yang Minghua and Mei Wenjie, as well as other leaders of the division headquarters, have nothing to say to someone, and they can only "admire and obey" this young "killer"! When Lin * and they had just returned home, needless to say, they were still alive, and at someone's strong request, several people sat in front of the simulator and counted how many enemy planes a certain person shot down! Judging from the simulated battlefield, Lin *'s first missile score was zero, and nothing was hit, which immediately made someone pout, and the other two had to smile relatively bitterly! But they soon entered the state, at the beginning of the melee battle, Lin * frequently exerted his might, when the two enemy planes tried to besiege him, he had already shot down 3 enemy planes, and at this time, the record of other teammates was still relatively poor, for example, Yang Minghua transferred out Meng Haibo's fighters, after shooting down one over the horizon and another in close combat, there was no result, at least 3 fighters were chasing and intercepting him, so that he could not carry out an effective attack at all! "Why did he steal the merit again", at this time, it was Lin * who shot down the advanced Thai fighter that was entangled with Li Wentong, "good", I don't know whether this is to praise his merit, or to praise Li Wentong for shooting down a Thai fighter plane at once, or to praise Lin * for shooting down the fighter plane that has been chasing him for a long time with a fighting bullet! "Haibo can easily do it now", this is the situation that Meng Haibo quickly killed a Thai advanced fighter plane that did not know whether to live or die, and was still pestering, "Why did he not even care about the wingman", ............ "Why didn't he fight", "There are not enough missiles", ...... "good" ......" and "...... "Uncle Yang, does this count", "No, he didn't hit anyone", this is Yang Minghua teasing someone, at this time Lin * is forcing the seventh Thailand into the sea! "It's a pity", this is Lin * shot down the Malaysian fighter plane with a combat bomb, because it takes a lot of time, it is impossible to intercept and attack other enemy planes, "there are not enough missiles", ...... "good guy, teach the Indonesians a lesson" ......
"Why did you fight 9 fights", this sentence made other people cry and laugh, this person is too greedy, and he is too ruthless, one person shot down 9 enemy planes, it is not enough, this Lin * is too unlucky, maybe next time he shoots 10 fights, to be able to meet someone's requirements? "I, I mean he still has a missile that doesn't work, nothing else", someone hesitated to explain under the cannibalistic gaze of the four people!
The Third Flying Regiment once again became the center of the division's attention; except for one fighter plane that was wounded and returned home ahead of schedule, the remaining 11 fighters of the regiment were basically intact, and every pilot shot down an enemy plane, even the Huangshanhe, which was injured and returned home, also shot down an enemy plane, and most of the rest shot down more than two enemy planes, and a total of four pilots shot down three enemy planes, two pilots shot down four enemy planes, and one pilot shot down nine enemy planes, shooting down a total of 38 enemy planes and damaging many enemy planes. It was the flying regiment that destroyed the most enemies in this air battle. Of course, this is also related to their ranks, of the 12 pilots who participated in the war, there are as many as 6 with the rank of major and above, and there are two pilots with lieutenant colonels. Also striking was the Second Flying Regiment, which, although two fighters had returned ahead of schedule, had also destroyed 33 of the enemy, and if it weren't for that perverted guy, their results would have been "absolutely no worse than those of the Third Flying Regiment," with an average of 2.75 enemy planes destroyed by each pilot. These two flight regiments are not only the ace flying regiments of the Second Division of the HNA Army, but also the ace flying regiments of the entire air force stationed in Vietnam, for example, in this air battle, the whole army shot down a total of 169 enemy planes, and they shot down 71 planes, accounting for more than 40% of the total, becoming the undisputed ace flying regiment!
According to statistics, as of 4 March, the 3rd Flying Regiment had shot down 98 enemy planes, the 2nd Flying Regiment had shot down 81 enemy planes, and 5 pilots had destroyed more than 10 enemy planes, making them the two flying regiments with the highest concentration of ace pilots! Nowadays, the whole world is in China, and the most envious of the entire Chinese Air Force are the two air divisions in the Vietnamese department, and among all the air divisions, the most interesting are the two flying regiments of the Second Naval Aviation Division, and the focus of the whole country's attention is the ace pilot Lin *, who has only suffered minor damage once since the beginning of the war, and it is said that the pilot has shot down 21 enemy planes! War, merit, honor, accolades...... Flying towards them all over the world!
