At this time, the encirclement around Le Chi Minh City was already in tatters, and in fact the encirclement network against the Vietnamese army no longer existed, and if the Vietnamese army was willing to withdraw, it could retreat to the area south of Le Chi Minh City; And the two southbound Vietnamese armies attacking from the north, the western front forward has arrived in the suburbs of Buon Ma Thuot, and the eastern front has even broken through to the Nha Trang railway station, which is only one step away from tearing through the defense line of the squadron! With the fiasco of the Allied Air Force, the Americans died down, and the Chinese Air Force, which had eased up, began to bomb Vietnam's forward troops on a large scale, and the Chinese fighters easily regained air supremacy, and the Vietnamese Air Force was once again forced to "truce", and the overwhelming bomber formations (which took off from the country) carried out devastating bombing on the Vietnamese Army, and with the cooperation of the air, the Army stationed in Vietnam began a large-scale counteroffensive and quickly broke through the enemy's defense line. The Vietnamese Army was again defeated. Modern warfare is a three-dimensional war, relying on ground forces alone can not form an effective combat force at all, no matter how powerful the ground firepower is, no matter how tenacious the soldiers are, they will collapse in the face of a one-sided slaughter, and the Chinese Air Force has once again expounded this truth to military experts all over the world!

The ensuing fighting was still fierce, and the ground forces, with the cooperation of the air force, advanced steadily, and on March 1, the Vietnamese army abandoned the trapped Song and was forced to withdraw from Quy Nhon on the same day; On 3 March, in view of the danger of being encircled by the Chinese landing force, the Vietnamese abandoned Da Nang and retreated to Thuan Hoa with their whole army, forming a new defensive line to prevent the Chinese army from continuing to advance northward; On 4 March, Vietnamese troops in Le Chi Minh City were forced to withdraw and move to the southern multi-river area to continue their resistance. At this point, the entire South Vietnam, except for some areas under the control of the Vietnamese army, most of the area has been basically controlled by the Chinese side, and after two weeks of fighting, the Chinese have basically occupied southern Vietnam!

On March 4, the Chinese Air Force in Vietnam launched a second strike against the Thai Navy, which triggered a fierce second air battle in the Gulf of Thailand! If the Thai Air Force does not intercept it, it will carry out a devastating blow to the Thai Navy with the cooperation of bombers, and if the Thai fighters dare to take to the air to intercept it, they will use air combat to consume the other side, and even completely consume the air combat strength of the coalition forces, weakening the coalition forces' ability to launch a campaign. Although this is the imagination of the Chinese, it is also the black hand that forces the other side to have to fight, for the coalition forces, seeing the destruction of the allied navy, it is simply impossible, even if you are worried about the combat power of the Chinese, even if you are afraid of losses, you have to deal with it in groups, not to mention that this is in the sea area where they have considerable sea power! The Chinese also clearly know that the coalition forces will not let their navy be destroyed, and will definitely vigorously intercept it, so they do not focus on this aspect of the operation, and the 15 flying regiments participating in the battle (seven of the 2nd HNA Division), except for the fourth, fifth and sixth flight regiments, all carry air-to-air missiles, even these three flight regiments, not all of them are mainly attacking ships, each carrying four anti-air missiles, so that the main purpose of this campaign is still an air duel! At the same time, more than 30 bombers took off from domestic airfields to coordinate their operations and carry out bombing of ports and coastal defense facilities in the Gulf of Thailand. As a result, the second air war in the Gulf of Thailand broke out, one side of the war was China's two main aviation divisions, and the other side was the air force of the Indian, Malaysian, and Thai coalition forces, and the Chinese side 180 fighters participated in the war, and the three coalition forces sent a total of more than 400 fighters, and the Thais also sent a huge number of electronic unmanned attack aircraft. In order to cooperate with the air battle and effectively attack the Thai Navy, a detachment of the South China Sea Fleet moved to the waters near the Gulf of Thailand to seize sea supremacy with its huge combat power!

According to pre-war estimates, the Malay-Thai coalition forces have a total of between 160 and 200 advanced fighter planes, plus the Indonesian air force, the three countries have a total of between 450 and 550 fighters, and the strength is still quite strong, and the pressure on the Chinese side is still quite large, so the world is still looking forward to this air battle. At about 7 o'clock in the morning, the air battle first began between China and Thailand, and almost at the same time, the air battle between China and Malaysia also began, and a little later, the Chinese and Indian air forces began to contact, and an air duel began, with a total of more than 580 fighters launching another round of desperate competition!

Military experts and aviation experts from all over the world are focusing on the war in Southeast Asia! The governments of the world are concerned about the course of this war! The countries in Southeast Asia that participated in the war were the saddest, the United States was the most depressed, and India stopped its major national actions as early as the second day of the outbreak of the war, and the aircraft carrier battle group also stopped! And since the start of the war, the so-called war process that the whole world has paid the most attention to, but they have been shocked and regretted one by one! On 4 March, as soon as a large number of Chinese air forces were dispatched, the three Southeast Asian countries learned that the United States, which had assembled an unprecedentedly powerful fleet of six aircraft carrier battle groups off the coast of the Philippines, immediately spread the news to its "friends." Soon the whole world knew that the third major air war in Southeast Asia was about to break out, so people couldn't help but ask, will there be such a big disparity in the outcome of this showdown? Can the three Southeast Asian countries really be able to counter some of China's air forces?

There is a good reason for people to ask, because it is based on real data! If the first major air battle in the Gulf of Thailand is the beginning, then this will be the precursor to the complete defeat of Southeast Asia, of course, there are enough reasons to excuse the coalition forces, such as the Chinese sneak attack, such as the Chinese air force has a numerical advantage, and so on. Indeed, if the first air battle in the Gulf of Thailand, or the first air battle in Southeast Asia, the coalition forces lost a little unwillingly, from north to south a total of more than 750 fighters participating in the war, as the main battlefield of the Gulf of Thailand airspace, the Chinese occupy a great advantage in forces, all of the more than 400 fighters participating in the war, the coalition forces are nearly 60 less, although the loss of 20 to 100 is unacceptable, but one thing must be mentioned, from the Gulf of Thailand to near the Strait of Malacca, The Chinese side has invested more than 480 fighters, while the coalition forces on the contrary have only invested more than 270 in total, and they have also been attacked by long-range missiles! But the second big air war in Southeast Asia, people have to admire, because as the attacking side, the coalition forces have invested more than 650 advanced fighters from two directions, including more than 500 fighters, when the air battle occurs, people dare not imagine the imminent result, only two aviation divisions to implement the defense of the Chinese Air Force, how to avoid being bombed, even whether the fighters can survive, experts do not dare to draw conclusions easily, for fear of stimulating the sensitive national pride of the Chinese! But the final result, but the whole world was shocked, everyone could not believe their eyes and ears, with the cooperation of more than 40 carrier-based aircraft, there was not a single coalition bomber arrived in the scheduled launch airspace, this is not counting, the coalition forces with absolute numerical superiority, were almost surrounded and annihilated by the weak Chinese Air Force, more than 300 Malay-Thai coalition fighters, only 68 fighters were withdrawn intact, 40 were damaged, the rest of the 194 were shot down, and the fighters alone reached 142, relatively, The Chinese side was shot down only 20 planes, and the total loss was only 31 planes! In the case of absolute superiority, the losses of the coalition forces would be so heavy that experts all over the world were dumbfounded, and it was simply unbelievable! For the coalition forces, the more serious loss was the loss of a large number of pilots, because the Chinese occupied most of the sea supremacy, so that the coalition pilots who fell into the water were either captured, or simply died and died in the belly of the fish! Every downed pilot is a treasure in some way, gaining at least one rare experience in air combat, but alas, these people may never return to the battlefield! Moreover, the fighters of the coalition forces are completely dependent on imports, and the domestic reserves are limited, and in the case of an embargo, the loss of one is one plane, and I don't want China to be constantly replenished!

But it's not that the coalition forces have lost their combat effectiveness, at least they haven't admitted defeat, and the Americans still have the last glimmer of hope for the coalition forces, if they can drag China for longer, then she can gather more forces to deal with China, because Southeast Asia is too far away from the United States, and the United States garrisons are distributed all over the world, and it takes a certain amount of time to deploy troops. What's more, only when the coalition forces are beaten will they really follow the Americans' policy, for example, this time the coalition forces "happily" followed the advice of the Americans!

When the Chinese bomber group took off from the airfield in the interior and headed south, the US reconnaissance satellites had already paid attention, and as the two air divisions stationed in Vietnam took off to escort the plane, the Americans had already sent the relevant information to the relevant organs of the coalition forces. Judging from the situation, China has two combat targets, either Indonesia or Thailand, not only because of the factor of the two main air divisions, but also because in addition to these two countries, there are no relatively large bombing targets today, and according to the analysis, the "ambitious" Chinese ** side is very likely to regard the coalition air force as the focus of this operation, and since it can occupy a geographical advantage, the relevant parties are also willing to compete with the Chinese to solve the threat of these two air divisions to the coalition forces and the US fleet, And break the myth of the invincibility of the Chinese. So the two sides can be said to coincide! With the build-up of a large number of Chinese fighters, especially when the Americans discovered that a Chinese detachment appeared in the direction of the Gulf of Thailand in the Spratly Islands, the second air battle in the Gulf of Thailand was inevitable!

As early as when a large number of Chinese fighters were assembled, a large number of Indonesian fighters were urgently lifted into the air to be ready to fight at any time, and a large number of advanced Thai fighters were also lifted into the air, which made it possible for both Thailand and Indonesia to support each other at any time and surprise the invading Chinese aircraft group! At around 6:30 a.m., the US reconnaissance satellite discovered the location of the Chinese detachment, and at the same time, a large number of Chinese fighters that had advanced southward suddenly plunged straight into the Thai side of the Gulf of Thailand, putting behind the relatively strong Indonesian Air Force, and the target of the attack was completely exposed! The Thais could not wait for all the friendly forces to arrive, so they had to go forward to meet them! The penetration capability of the modern air force is too strong, ordinary naval defense cannot effectively defend at all, and the Thais, having lost their aircraft carriers, do not want their navy to be destroyed like their allies! Therefore, more than 50 unmanned electronic attack planes were first dispatched to interfere with and consume China's attack capability and carry out the initial interception, but this could not stop the progress of the huge aircraft group at all, although modern unmanned attack aircraft have achieved a great breakthrough, but there are still many bottlenecks that cannot be solved, and it is not worth mentioning at all in the face of manned advanced fighters! However, it was this momentary delay that the Malaysians had already sided with the Thais, blocking the way of the Chinese group. The more than 60 advanced fighter jets sent out by the whole country are the last and biggest capital of the Malaysians, and other than that, they have no fighter jets worthy of a war! The Thais, on the other hand, sent more than 160 fighters of various types, of which about 80 were advanced fighters, and the rest were relatively old models! At the same time, a few minutes behind the Chinese fleet, at least 120 Indonesian advanced fighters are chasing at full speed, and behind these fighters, according to satellite images, a large number of fighters are approaching at full speed. The Indonesians knew that the two badly damaged allies could no longer withstand the Chinese's attack, and the slightest hesitation could wipe out the allies, and it was "more difficult" to rely on their own strength, especially after dealing with Chinese their allies!

China's fighter formation is mainly divided into two groups, most of the fighters of the 1st Air Division deal with the more "handy" Indonesian fighters, and a small number of them assist in assisting friendly forces! After the over-the-horizon attack, more than 80 fighters of the 1st Air Division turned their fuselages to meet the rapidly approaching Indonesian fighters and cover the flanks of friendly forces. The main force of the 2nd HNA Division concentrated on attacking the Thai interceptor group, although it had already carried out a round of over-the-horizon attacks, and it seemed that it had killed a lot of enemies, but there were too many Thai fighters to attack, and the overall number was more than twice as many as theirs, and many of them were false targets, which made them a little shrunk! However, this time the missiles are more sufficient, and everyone is still more confident, from over-the-horizon to short-range, and then to the visual distance, everyone carefully launches every missile, every missile is launched, even if it cannot shoot down the enemy, it is necessary to damage the enemy plane, at least for themselves to strive for better battlefield conditions, because while attacking others, they also leave their own flaws to the opponent or the opponent's comrades-in-arms, killing the enemy and being killed have always been mutual, since you want to kill the enemy, you must first be ready to be killed!

With 80 fighters to deal with more than 160 aircraft, this seems to be a bit overbearing, and it seems to look down on the Thais, not to mention that they are ready to defeat the other side and then support other air battles! However, the commanders of the Second Division of the Navy have such confidence, and from the intelligence analysis, Thailand's advanced fighters are only about 100, so a considerable part of the fighters sent this time are "obsolete products" used to bluff people, and they cannot match the modern mainstream fighters at all, and the great progress in modern anti-aircraft missiles and guidance capabilities is enough to injure or shoot down those non-advanced fighters piloted by not very good pilots, of course, the premise is to lock on the opponent first!

Air combat inevitably entered the melee phase, with the warring sides relying on the performance of their own aircraft and the capabilities of their pilots in hand-to-hand combat. At this time, Lin * achieved his goal, he was only painted with 4 red stars, and he looked very ordinary in the huge fleet full of red stars, at least 15 fighters were painted with 4 or even more than 4, which was not the focus of the opponent's defense. Of course, he still gets more attention than many of his comrades, at least his fighter has more stars painted on it, and his wingman killed an enemy plane just after the battle, although he is still hanging around with nothing to do! In fact, at this time, Lin * had already achieved the results of a number of fighters, first killed one at short range, and then killed one at visual distance, and in the chase battle, while the other party was not paying attention, he killed another one, if you add the one he may have killed in an over-the-horizon attack (in fact, he did not shoot down or damage the enemy plane), he has already killed 4 enemy planes, which makes him the focus of the attention of the Thai commander in a short period of time, and the AWACS aircraft reminds the pilots to be careful of this Chinese fighter. But the young lieutenant colonel, who has already experienced a test of life and death, does not take the two advanced Thai fighters in his eyes, "Damn, 5 can't help me, don't talk about the two of you"!

In the scuffle, it is said that everyone did not want to be with Lin *, because he was a typical example of grabbing merit, and he actually ate the advanced US fighter plane that Li Wentong was opposing in the middle of the exercise, and the fifth missile was launched, sending the Thai who were "bullying" the wingman into the sea! At this time, Li Wentong didn't do it, and the opponent he was about to solve was hacked, which was not good, but the young lieutenant pilot could only dodge, because the long plane "let in" the two Thai fighters, but fortunately, Lin * was kind enough, and he seemed to find that he had gone too far, so he turned around and entangled one of them to "reduce the pressure on his comrades." The Thais did not understand at all that this Chinese pilot would be so arrogant, in the face of the siege of his own two fighters, he still has the ability to attack his own fighters, and even worse is that now he can only deal with it alone, what is more terrible than this is that he can not always get rid of the other party's lock, the continuous alarm sound of the onboard alarm system makes him more and more flustered and unbearable, as if he feels that he has been shot down dozens of times, but why don't the Chinese shoot themselves down directly? At that moment, the cockpit catapult catapulted him out with a "bang", and he didn't even have the idea of looking upward, and it was too shameless to be shot down by an opponent with a fighting bullet! At the same time that this Thai fighter was shot down, Li Wentong also successfully sent his opponent into the sea!

Lin * is more relaxed, but many people are more nervous, Thai people obviously have a tendency to worship stars, just like Meng Haibo, at least 3 Thai fighters are very interested in the 6 red stars on his body, chasing after him, so that this colonel pilot has suffered enough, and he can't even launch missiles! But his bad luck also ended here, Lin * and Li Wen bit one of the same person, the colonel pilot reacted at the first time, and at the same time that Lin * shot down his opponent with a missile, he also sent his opponent down to the sea, but he had to lead a second wingman!

Lin * acted alone, he was like a lone ranger, quickly killing the enemy, constantly shuttling around the battlefield, at least breaking up the besieged group of three comrades, but the remaining two missiles were not willing to use, this is the last killer weapon, when it is used up, he has to return home! If he could take out his opponent with a fighting bullet, he would not hesitate to pounce on it, and soon when he had the opportunity, almost shortly after he had dispersed the fourth enemy who was besieged by his comrades, he found a European fighter standing alone "looking at the scenery", and did not attack the opponent, and there was no opponent to deal with him, as if the air battle had nothing to do with him, as if he was just traveling in the air, and he was unfortunately caught in the whirlpool of air combat, and both the enemy and us ignored him. Could it be that he is an undercover agent, or has he surrendered to the battlefield? But no matter what, scare him first, and let him remember himself later! For this sudden opponent, the Thai seemed a little panicked, and hurriedly pulled up the engine to try to evade and find the enemy, if the war began, Lin * maybe there was really no way, maybe he had to carry out another suicide attack, in order to kill the opponent without using missiles, but now it is a different matter. After several air battles, he has already "become a refinement", and peacetime training and actual combat are completely different things, otherwise the Israelis in the last century would not have fought more and more fiercely, so that there was no opponent in the entire Middle East! Because of the bent on killing the other party with a fighting bullet, this made the Thais suffer in the alarm, the huge psychological pressure made the technology seriously deformed, an accident, the plane lost control, fell into a high-speed spiral, this time, Lin * was also dumbfounded, he has not fired a fighting bullet yet, go back and ask the political commissar, is this considered an achievement! The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, just when he was still hesitating about how to count the seventh fighter, the battle between the Second Division of the HNA and the Thais has already been divided, and the Thai fighters who have lost their fighting spirit have scattered and fled, followed by the Chinese fighters who are in hot pursuit and are reluctantly pursuing the Chinese fighters, one after another the fighters are planted downward, and the sky is full of parachute bags that are slowly landing! A large number of Chinese fighters began to turn to attack Malaysian fighters, and some of them went south to support friendly forces against the Indonesian fleet!
