Chapter 222: Fierce Battle 5
At about 8 a.m. on May 7, the coalition forces launched a new round of strikes against the naval detachment, and the Chinese air force was forced to enter the war, and the ninth great air battle in Southeast Asia broke out, with the interval between the two wars being less than a day, in fact, less than 14 hours. In fact, this is already the best that the Chinese side can do, in order to delay the opponent's new round of attacks as much as possible, the time of the last air battle, the Chinese side deliberately chose around 18 o'clock in the afternoon, so that the defeated coalition forces could not immediately launch a second attack, and in these 14 hours, the entire fleet quickly moved to the northeast, especially to allow the pilots to gain more time to recover their strength. In order to protect themselves to the greatest extent, a large number of Chinese pilots had already been taken away from the war zone by submarines that night, and these people were very likely to be used as the main force in the third round of defense battles, even if they did not have time to participate in the war, "they could not be accidentally harmed." As for the pilots of the coalition forces, "the transportation capacity is tight", so they can only continue to stay on the ships in crisis. Sure enough, at about seven o'clock in the morning, the coalition forces had already discovered the exact location of the Chinese fleet, and a large number of fighters swarmed in, which made the Chinese commanders tremble, even if the other side was all fighters, the two aviation divisions did not dare to slacken, and had to put on the battle, because there was no case on the battlefield, if this fleet was really destroyed, it would be unbearable for the Chinese who were in the limelight, and it seemed that the entire fleet for 135 coalition pilots would not be worth the loss! First of all, the coalition sent 120 warplanes to harass and attack, and these fighters took off from the southern regions of Indonesia and Malaysia, of which the Indonesian side sent 96 planes. In the eyes of the commanders, there will not be many fighters taking off from Indonesia and Malaysia, as long as the coalition forces of the three countries are not dispatched together, then these 100 fighters will still be able to cope with it. The purpose of the first wave of attacks by the coalition forces is precisely to draw out Chinese fighters and reduce the pressure on the upcoming attack of friendly forces, so naturally they will not be entangled with so many opponents, especially over the Chinese fleet, but a large number of fighters hovered and delayed time, until the fuel was almost used, and then they roared back! At the same time as they returned, a large number of Thai fighters and Malaysian fighters (taking off from the northern region) took off, aiming directly at the Chinese fleet that had exposed their whereabouts, and then a total of 50 fighters from the remaining five flight regiments stationed in Vietnam also took off urgently to carry out the escort mission!
The air battle began at about 10:30 a.m., Malaysia dispatched two squadrons of 24 fighters, the Thais dispatched 100 fighters, half of which were US fighters on active duty, after meeting the Malaysian fighters, they swooped in the direction of the Chinese fleet, at the same time, more than 200 US fighters took off from the aircraft carrier battle group anchored in the sea off the coast of the Philippines, the range of activities was very large, attracting the energy and a large number of troops of the Chinese side, and a number of air force units urgently rose into the air, and it was not until after the air battle occurred that these fighters were withdrawn one after another. Of course, the Air Force stationed in Vietnam had already prepared a response plan, believing that the Thais would become the main force in this air battle, and decided to teach the Thais another lesson (putting the five most powerful flying regiments at the end).
This is a contest of disparity in strength, the performance of the coalition fighters is no worse than that of the Chinese side, especially those fighters that took off from Thailand, the Chinese pilots know this very well, and they know that most of these pilots are retired pilots from the United States, and the physical strength of these pilots may be reduced, but they are all experienced and not easy to deal with at all. Of course, they are also very experienced and excellent pilots, after many bloody battles, the fighters they fly are also very good, "this is a fair and real showdown"! Although the Chinese only sent 50 fighters, they still had to allocate some to protect the fleet, at least not to allow the enemy to attack as they wanted, which was the main purpose of their trip. Relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Malaysian Air Force is the weakest, perhaps these are said to be India's most advanced world-class fighters for Indian pilots to fly, the effect will be better, but they, it's hard to say, they are not in the eyes of their Chinese counterparts at all!
The air battle was carried out in a vast and small, monolithic and scattered area, and the Malaysian pilots were having nightmares, thinking that they had encountered the legendary flying regiment again, with red stars all over the fuselage, and each fighter plane was painted with red stars, "Oh my God, why are you so unlucky to meet this opponent again"! Indeed, they were really unlucky, as soon as they came into contact, a large number of fighters were damaged and shot down, and they were simply slaughtered! Perhaps the Chinese were too angry with the country they had previously supported, or perhaps the Chinese liked the country so much that they not only destroyed their navy first, but also almost completely wiped out their air force and army long-range strike forces, making them the "most hurt" country. However, this time they were not facing the legendary flying group, but it was also a flying group that had shot down 100 fighters early, 12 fighters, and the devastating blow caused the southern flank of the coalition to collapse in an instant...... The 2nd Flying Regiment has an important task, they not only have to defeat the Malaysian Air Force, but also strongly support the friendly forces that are fighting against the main forces of the coalition forces, because this is the key to determining the victory or defeat, and it is also the place where the "1st Flying Regiment" of the whole army fights to the death. Because this is where 20 Chinese fighters are against 50 US fighters in active service!
Lin* was already desperate, and he felt that even his most revered father could not save him! Intuitively, he knew that he would definitely not be able to pass this level! He knew that his wingman had been shot down, and he knew that he was about to be shot down; He didn't know how much time it had been supported, but he knew that four coalition fighters were chasing and intercepting it! Four jamming bombs had already been released, and although he had dodged at least 10 of the enemy's special attacks, he knew that he would not be able to dodge half of them! At the beginning, Lin * was not the focus of the other party's attention, so to speak, he was the one with the least number of stars on the fuselage in the central group, compared to those comrades who reflected the sky red, the enemy didn't have to take him in his eyes at all, the battle was fought to this extent, but only four, definitely not an ace pilot! But the enemy was really wrong, he shot down more fighters alone than their entire fleet, and his experience was incomparable to that of even the most experienced pilots of the coalition forces, so as soon as he made contact, he sent one enemy plane into the sea, followed by a second ...... The sharpness and effectiveness of the attack shocked those retired pilots, and if they didn't treat him as a real killer, then the only thing that awaited them was the sea below! When he was attacking an enemy plane, that is, nearly three minutes after the air battle began, two enemy planes pursued him, and he really didn't want to press the launch button, because he felt that he couldn't shoot down the opponent this time, but he couldn't help but launch, because he knew that 90% of the planes had damaged the opponent and successfully got rid of the lock of the enemy plane behind him. The result was that his actions infuriated his opponents even more, and immediately a third enemy aircraft took part in the siege, since his actions were perceived as contempt for them.
The allied pilots are sure to kill the opponent, and the three US fighters on duty are not easy to mess with, but Lin * doesn't think so, in his opinion, the other party is still a little behind, and he can still deal with it, so he dragged the three tails and sent the opponent of the wingman down to the sea, caught the opponent off guard, and then Li Wentong killed one of the three behind him one by one! But there was no time to celebrate, Li Wentong was killed by two fighters who arrived from other places, which made someone uncomfortable for a while, stealing chickens and rice, and originally wanted to kill the opponent with the cooperation of the two...... After that, Lin*, who committed the most heinous crime, was chased and intercepted by four enemy planes.
In his opinion, 4 and 3 are completely different weights, 4 enemy planes are at least equivalent to 6 or even more encountered earlier, and now there are no comrades to break the siege, or it is too late, the danger is constant, and he has tried every means to evade...... When 4 jamming bombs had already been released, he knew that today might be the end of the day, but he did not give up, and was still doing everything possible to avoid the enemy's attack, and he was sad and surprised by this danger that he had never encountered before! But his opponents were even more surprised and annoyed than him, and they dared to say that this was the most difficult pilot they had ever encountered, not only causing them to lose two fighters in the siege, but also making three fighters useless at all, even if four fighters were entangled for so long, a burst of excitement, a burst of helplessness and some pity! However, Lin * was definitely not easy to provoke, he knew that he could not hide from today, and he would never let the enemy have a good time, so he ignored the missiles launched by the enemy plane, and rushed straight into another coalition fighter plane that was entangled with his comrades, and after firing a missile, he released the last jamming bomb at the same time. Propelled by the huge air currents created by the explosion of the missile that was close at hand, it slammed into another enemy plane that had not yet reacted, and at the same time as the last missile was launched, the pilot's ejection button was immediately activated.
The huge air flow generated by the continuous explosion of the fighter plane and the missile caused Lin* to fall downwards rapidly, making him dizzy for a while and almost unconscious. However, he didn't know that the serial explosion of up to five missiles and three fighters had seriously affected at least seven fighters around, among which his comrade-in-arms Su Bin's fighter plane couldn't help but drive forward, and it took a long time to regain control, and the four fighters chasing him were all affected by the air current, and at least three fighters were seriously damaged, and they were killed by three fighters who were eager for rescue and revenge in an instant, becoming an extremely crazy scene in the entire air battle! He didn't even know that two coalition pilots were seriously injured because of this, and one of them did not hold out until he made contact with the sea, and the severity of the tragedy made the leaders of the command center tremble and stunned, and everyone was speechless for a long time. The airspace is so big, especially the serial explosion of as many as three fighters and five missiles, the sound is very far, many pilots can feel it, and the crazy counterattack launched by the third flight regiment in an instant also made the second flight regiment that had just arrived understand at once who created this earth-shattering "big air tsunami", Meng Haibo has not yet returned to the team, and he can't make this big move, so there is only one person who has the ability to do this, and he also has the ability to make the third flight regiment carry out such a fierce reactive retaliation. Almost all the pilots of the 3rd Flying Regiment went crazy for this, almost all the flight regiments went crazy for the madness of the 1st Flying Regiment, the coalition forces quickly fell into disadvantage in terms of momentum, and in the comparison of forces, the Chinese side also quickly reversed the unfavorable situation, the Malaysian aircraft group has been defeated, and only the fighters directly related to Lin * made the opponent drop to 60, not counting the enemy planes shot down by other pilots, and the entire air battle began to change in the direction favorable to the Chinese side!
How capable is Lin*, the leaders of the command center are silently calculating, shooting down two, and then injuring one, and killing the one that entangles the wingman, plus the one that its wingman killed, this brings to 5, plus the two that were shot down before abandoning the plane, it has reached 7, and then counting the three that were injured and immediately shot down by their comrades, there are 10, if you count the fourth one that they chased and killed, there are a total of 11 of the world's most advanced fighters, All the coalition fighters who had been in contact with him were shot down at the first time, and only one of the coalition fighters who had taken pictures of him slipped away early!
Lin * knew that the consequences of his last moment would be very serious, but he did not expect to cause such a big reaction, and he didn't have time to think at that time, he was pushed to the sea by the strong air current, and he had no chance to appreciate the "huge cannon battle" he created, but his ears were numb by the continuous explosions, and he lost consciousness for a long time, and then he found that the parachute he had opened had broken several large holes, and in some places it was even completely torn, making him feel that this parachute jump was much faster than before; But he didn't know that he sent one American directly to heaven and another directly to the hospital. He was a very affected person by such a violent explosion in the air, but except for the damage of the parachute, he was almost not harmed, and because he was far away from the fleet, he did not have to worry about the "indiscriminate damage" of the fleet's anti-aircraft fire. He swam in the South China Sea in May, and of course, he was not the only one in the area, and there were many pilots scattered on the sea, both foreign and comrades-in-arms. In the air, everyone can see each other for a while, but not on the sea, it is not an exaggeration to be close to the end of the world; At this time, although the sea surface is relatively calm, but there is no wind and three feet of waves, any big wave comes, it will drown people wholely, and when it rises to the top of the wave, you can see parachutes everywhere on the sea and those pilots who fell earlier or later, and there are people in the sky who keep falling, and there are almost always parachutes that open and slowly land!
Lin * fell into the sea at about 10:30, and when he was rescued on the ship, it was already noon, this is still the ship has been prepared, advanced detection and detection instruments, can quickly detect the pilot's position, and then there are small lifeboats to come to the rescue, whether it is the Chinese pilot or the coalition pilot, very cooperative, this is not a joke, in this boundless sea, if there is no large ship to rescue, it is guaranteed to die, and this Chinese fleet is the only big ship that can be reached! Of course, there is a big difference in the treatment of everyone on the ship, the Chinese pilots are treated as VIPs, and they are warmly welcomed, this is not how hostile or ridiculed by the navy to the air force, it is really a warship like them, it is very rare to be able to invite so many pilots, not to mention that the navy knows that these people are the pilots of the two main aviation divisions, maybe there are many ace pilots, and everyone knows that this air battle is quite difficult! He was one of the pilots who was relatively late to board the ship, and at that time there were already quite a few pilots on board, and because several warships were seriously damaged, in order to gain time to evacuate first, several warships with relatively minor injuries carried out search and rescue work, so there were quite a few pilots on each warship, and there were several comrades-in-arms of the Second Division on the destroyer "Nanjing" he carried. The pilots were soaked enough in the water, but everyone still insisted on coming out to meet their new colleagues, especially the Chinese pilots, and there was no serious frustration. Therefore, when everyone saw him, they all gathered around, and they couldn't help but look at me, and I looked at you, and laughed together, and the battle was won, and the enemy retreated, and this was the happiest thing for them; And seeing Su Bin's embarrassed appearance, Lin * couldn't help laughing, completely forgetting the pain of being soaked in water for several hours!
As soon as Lin* boarded the battleship, he became the center of attention of the whole ship, and his air force comrades watched him, and the officers and men of the navy on the ship looked at him, and even some of the listless and depressed captured pilots of the coalition forces looked at him, because of his rank, because of his young and extremely high rank, he was almost the highest-ranking soldier on the warship—Colonel, incredibly extremely young Colonel! All those who knew and did not know immediately thought of the origin of this rank, and at the same time almost everyone immediately associated that legendary ace pilot! This made everyone revere him, and the officers and men of the navy saluted him neatly, with tears of excitement in their eyes; The coalition pilots also looked at him, and some even wanted to come and talk to him...... However, almost immediately, the lieutenant colonel invited him to the captain's room, and since then, he has never met with the allied pilots again.
