Chapter 223: Fierce Battle 6
When he returned to the base two days later, he learned about the specific battle situation, and at this time, most of the two aviation divisions were fully manned, except for a few flying regiments, and the third flying regiment was also full again. The reason why it is said to be a victory is that the 44 fighters participating in the air duel not only resisted the siege of the enemy's 94 fighters, but finally won the victory, the coalition lost 70 fighters, and in the end only 54 fighters were intact. Of these, 24 Malaysian fighters were shot down by the 2nd Flying Regiment, 18 were shot down by the 2nd Flying Regiment, 4 escaped with wounded, and the rest were shot down by two by other Flying Regiments; Of the 50 US fighters on the Thai side, a total of 38 were lost, of which 32 were shot down, and 6 of the other 20 fighters were also shot down. Of course, the reason why it is said to be a miserable victory, it is because it also suffered heavy losses, a total of 24 of the 44 fighters that were besieged were shot down, only 6 were damaged, and the loss rate reached 60%, of which the most serious loss was the Third Flying Regiment, a total of 11 fighters, 6 were lost, and all of them were shot down, and more importantly, most of these downed pilots were ace pilots, such as Chen Shijun, Fang Wei and Su Bin, and the first ace pilot of the whole army, Lin *. And the reason why I say this is because of the tragedy of this battle, for example, of the total loss of 38 enemy aircraft, the 3rd Flying Regiment occupied 26 aircraft, of which 24 were shot down, becoming the craziest combat regiment on the entire battlefield, and the coalition forces killed were scattered; The 2nd Flying Regiment had a slightly better record, shooting down 25 aircraft and damaging 6 enemy aircraft, but of course the losses were also very heavy, losing 6 fighters, 5 of which were shot down and one wounded and returning home. After this battle, the madness and ruthlessness of the two flying regiments became the focus of the battlefield, and caused the Thai side not only to suffer heavy losses, but also to completely remember the Chinese fighters!
"The Chinese side won a crushing victory, and the coalition forces suffered a crushing defeat"! This is the final result of the decoy war in Southeast Asia. The Chinese side won a crushing victory because of its own heavy losses, while the coalition forces suffered a crushing defeat because of its rather tragic defeat. The 6th and 7th air battles are known as the eighth great air battles in Southeast Asia, also known as decoy warfare. The Chinese side told the Southeast Asian coalition with practical actions, as well as the Americans, that the South China Sea is theirs, the sea supremacy is theirs, and the air supremacy is theirs! In this air battle, the coalition forces flew a total of 584 sorties and lost 260 aircraft, of which 198 were shot down; The Chinese side took part in a total of 344 sorties, losing a total of 117 fighters, of which 96 were shot down, and the fighters of an entire aviation division crashed on the bottom of the South China Sea. The most intense air battle was the last air battle on the 7th, in which the coalition forces sent 94 fighters and 30 attack planes against ships, while the Chinese side only sent 50 fighters, of which only 44 were actually used in air combat. After the crushing defeat of the coalition forces, only 148 intact fighters remained, and these fighters were mainly concentrated in Indonesia, and the other two countries suffered heavy casualties; In particular, in the battle on 7 July, 12 out of 20 pilots who shot down more than 10 enemy planes were shot down, accounting for 50 percent of the total number of pilots shot down, and the pilots who destroyed the most enemy were all shot down, causing great shock among the commanders and fighters!
And the commanders also had a love-hate relationship with Lin *, and no one did not recognize his role in this battle, and with the power of one person, he not only destroyed many enemy planes, but also pinned down many enemy planes, and he alone made the six fighters of the coalition army do nothing, and could only revolve around him alone. If this is the case, everyone's mood will not be so complicated, so to speak, such a record is undoubtedly the best they think, and it has fully met their expectations; However, this person was not satisfied, and in an instant, two enemy planes crashed into the sea, although they lost their comrades-in-arms, and that's it, everyone also felt satisfied, objectively speaking, Li Wentong's ability was relatively weak, and even if he was shot down, it was bearable, not to mention that they shot down two enemy planes! But what made them helpless was that he actually caused the siege of 4 enemy planes, and even made a move that made some people uneasy in this life, which made the command center full of panic, and many people were extremely afraid of this matter, although it was said that death on the battlefield could happen at any time, but this death struggle incident made everyone unable to come back to their senses!
Ma Changqi muttered to himself, "Is he greedy for life and afraid of death...... Mei Wenjie muttered to himself, "Could it be that everyone in the Li family has this kind of crazy genetic ............ Lin*'s self-sacrificing spirit made this "ordinary" air battle an altar battle of kings, with one after another ace pilots being shot down, and one after another ace pilots having to pull a cushion when they went to sea...... They are no longer in the chase battle to protect themselves, but with the enemy to die, the tragedy of the battlefield for the clouds and water, so that the leaders of the command center frightened, this is still called an air battle, this is simply playing with life! As soon as these desperate pilots returned to the base, they were severely criticized and ordered to write out for inspection, and Lin*'s punishment made the others secretly frightened, although they were also slightly "praised"; Of course, there will always be complaints, saying that the people in the division headquarters "can't distinguish" the situation on the battlefield.
The news of Lin's downing was soon learned by the press, and a focus forum was soon opened on the Internet, and the entire Air Force was paying close attention, and the entire Li family was also paying close attention, and all kinds of telephone calls were connected to each other everywhere, and some telephones at the Air Force Headquarters were blown up I don't know how many times, and even a certain department of the Navy was also implicated, until everyone learned that the Chinese pilots who fell into the water were safe and sound, except for a few who were slightly injured, and they were not relieved. However, then people began to explore why they were shot down, and the specific circumstances when they were shot down, because they were not capable, the enemy was too strong, and they were shot down with no face? Or is it because there are too many enemies, so I abandoned the plane and parachuted out in desperation...... As a result, the "suicide attack" launched by Lin * was known to aviation enthusiasts all over the world, both at home and abroad, including aviation experts, who unanimously believed that this was a "fatal and crazy move" and an incredible "work of thought"! And both domestic and foreign pilots were deeply shocked by this scene and unanimously agreed that this was a terrible opponent and "cannot be understood by common sense"!
Liu Yingchen immediately flew from Beijing to Vietnam, just a few hours before Lin * returned to the base, came to Dongpo Airport, the young girl didn't know what to say, this smiling man really didn't take life seriously, and why did he take such a risky move, what did he think at the time, is this his true face? Lin * smiled at anyone, including the girl he liked, he didn't think he was playing with his life, but he knew that he was gambling wildly, he was quite sure of escaping, and the people of the Li family would not let their opponents have a good time even when they chose to die! The children of the Li family love life and think that life is above all else, but they often despise life, regard life as nothing, and for some kind of instant or eternal thought, death is nothing to them! Lin*'s smile is also regarded by some as a characteristic of the Li family, and he is a representative figure of the younger generation of the Li family, and many people seem to have caught someone's shadow from him, is it the inheritance of father and son, or is it the inherent family characteristics of the Li family?
Although the first battle is not enough to determine the situation, it is enough to chill the enemy's heart! To date, the coalition's "volunteer" advanced U.S. fighters have lost 156 aircraft, of which 128 have been shot down; The 100 export fighters sold at a cheap price have almost been lost, and only 24 of the 130 Indian fighters from Malaysia are intact.
But the situation has clearly not yet reached the point where the water is coming to pass, and the war has not yet come to a real end! Although the coalition forces have lost a lot of volunteer pilots, according to statistics, there are still at least 250 people in the three Southeast Asian countries, and about 200 people are piloting planes to participate in the war, and most of the advanced fighters of the US military are still piloted by volunteers, and the war has turned into a contest between the volunteers and the Chinese Air Force, and a large number of volunteers of various kinds have come to Southeast Asia one after another, and there are many such people in Thailand and Indonesia. At the same time, there are indications that a large number of advanced US fighters are about to be delivered to the coalition forces, in this case, the first batch of India's remaining fighters has been handed over to the Malaysian military and is ready for use, and according to the agreement, the second batch of 100 fighters will also be delivered soon; Indian-trained pilots for Malaysia have also become a workhorse on the battlefield...... In this case, China also had to provide equipment for the two aviation divisions, because the existing more than 150 fighters are obviously unable to undertake the next combat missions, and according to the regulations, the two aviation divisions need a total of more than 250 fighters to maintain sufficient combat power!
The war has been consumed for a long time, and it is not beneficial to the people of the countries concerned, especially a few countries directly involved, and the two superpowers are not comfortable, although the battle pension is not much, but the loss of weapons, ammunition and equipment makes the Ministry of Finance quite nervous, since the start of the war, the Chinese side has shot down more than 300 advanced fighters, which is all white money! To some extent, the war has evolved into an economic war between the two world superpowers, and everyone is fighting for attrition, which is a very real thing, money, money, money...... War is like silver, this problem even military experts are embarrassed to admit, now the warring parties have exhausted all the fighters in the previous reserves, and can only purchase them on a large scale again, and can only contribute to the world's military aviation! Although the attrition of both sides is staggering, and they are also very heart-wrenching, but the war is far from over, the negotiations are unanimous, one side does not want to give in, the other side is not willing to stop, so they have to continue to confront!
Ever since the paperwork was submitted, Lin* has been guilty of a crime and has been forbidden to fly into the war, but it happened to be during a break in the fighting. Although there are not many battles, there are one or several squadrons patrolling the air every day to maintain air supremacy, and skirmishes often occur, so such a punishment can be said to be quite serious for a front-line soldier.
The commendation order of the headquarters has long been down, and the two aviation divisions that participated in the war have been greatly commended, and they have been asked to "guard against arrogance and rashness, and achieve better results", and at the same time, a lot of promotion orders have been sent, and only six pilots of the Third Flight Regiment have been promoted to military ranks, two have been promoted to majors, three majors have been promoted to lieutenant colonels, and Lieutenant Colonel Fang Wei has been promoted to colonel, which makes the Third Flight Regiment also known as the Senior Officer Flying Regiment, which is worthy of its name, because there are as many as ten officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel alone, and they are very eye-catching when they go there! And for Lin *'s no-fly, many people are secretly happy in their hearts, and everyone has figured it out, this guy is too powerful, and it will definitely be no fun to compete with him directly, because he is too good, for example, three US military active fighters can easily get them, but four enemy planes are just sending this guy down, this number is compared, everyone is very clear! In everyone's opinion, this guy is too powerful and can make meritorious contributions at any time, now take advantage of the opportunity, let him rest and rest, not to mention that they can't be blamed! Of course, everyone will squeeze out two tears of sympathy, and at the end, they don't forget to encourage them to take advantage of the opportunity to meet their girlfriends to get together, "This opportunity is something that no one can compete for"; In fact, everyone is still very envious of him, originally alone, but now it's good, not only to earn a beautiful girlfriend, but this girlfriend can also come as soon as he says, which is very jealous of these men, they haven't seen their family since February, women, just hugged a few in March, but that's not counting, just a dance, at most touched the waist! Of course, some words were not said, and in private, everyone was more satisfied with Lin *'s new life, after all, he was also born in a famous family, not worse than any family, and he was an absolute combat hero!
"Are you alright, are you stuffy?" Recently, Liu Yingchen has been with her boyfriend, since he came to Vietnam in early May, he has not returned to China, originally just wanted to see him and go back, but he didn't expect this guy not only not to be rewarded, but to be banned from flying, this is a very serious matter, especially in this period of war, I am worried that he can't bear it! Although this guy is quite good, but in her eyes, it is not like that, he is still young, only 22 years old, a few months younger than herself; She also knows that her boyfriend is on the momentum and the scenery is unstoppable, and now that he has been suddenly punished, it is inevitable that she will not be able to think about it. In fact, he has been a little listless in the past few days, and he has not slowed down for several days, allowing himself to comfort, and even "sacrificing hue" to take advantage of him, but there is no obvious effect, so even she herself is a little depressed.
"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to tell a lie?" Lin * took the other party in his arms, sniffed the unique fragrance of the girl, and said in his ear. He likes to come to such a hand now, and he never gets tired of holding the woman in his arms, and he is used to the fragrance on her body, of course, this is not an appropriate reason, the other party's resistance is getting weaker and weaker, and the probability of resistance is also decreasing.
"Don't be like this, it's not good for people to see it!" Liu Yingchen snuggled into his arms, grabbed his broken hands, and pleaded in a low voice. Li Zhiming City in May was already very hot, if it wasn't for the right place to stay, his body would have been sweating profusely, and now as soon as his body came into contact, he felt hot and abnormal, coupled with the intentional or unintentional movement of his bad hands, people couldn't help but feel their hearts beat faster, "Of course it's true, you're okay, right?" ”
"I said, you can't step on me." Lin * first proposed the protection conditions, and now that the two are in close contact, he is vulnerable to this kind of injury, "You said that if I was like a normal person, would everyone gossip, such as having no heart and lungs, or dragging my father and them in, and would the leaders of the division have opinions?" ”
"That's for sure!" Liu Yingchen stroked his hands and replied, "There will definitely be people who chew their tongues, and even say that you look down on the leader and don't take the leader's criticism seriously." But you don't look like the kind of person who values honor! At this point, as the two of them interacted, she became more and more clear.
"If I don't show sincerity and fear, I will definitely be speechless, and people will be terrible!" Lin * sighed, and after finishing speaking, the whole person fell on his girlfriend's back, as if he really felt emotional.
"Are you really alright?" With her intuition, she felt that the other party was fine, but she was not sure, after all, she cared too much, not to mention that this matter was indeed very serious.
"At first, of course, it was a little sulky, but it wasn't as bad as you think." Lin* straightened up and explained, "I'm not a heartless person, nor do I look down on the orders of the leader, nor do I think I have a backer or something. For me, the ban itself has no effect, and going to war is a risky thing, and although the pilots sacrifice relatively little, there is still a danger to their lives. Don't look down on me, I'm really greedy for life and afraid of death, it's better for people to live than to die, so I can not participate in the war, I am also happy to be leisurely, do you say I am really angry? You also know that I am not a person who values honors, and the Li family will not value those honors! ”
"I know," Liu Yingchen didn't refute him, this guy did say this a lot, and she was a little used to it, "Then why are you still ......?"
