It is said that most of the more than 6,000 officers and men who were in the unit at that time attended the meeting, and from the afternoon of the 19th, he began to fly and patrol, and the next day they rested, and on the afternoon of the third day, the 3rd Flying Regiment of the 2nd HNA Division, which was resting, was asked to "quickly reinforce" a certain area of the South China Sea where a fierce dispute was taking place. In the past few days, there have been HNA aircraft patrolling missions, but there have never been problems; On the afternoon of the 19th, he met with the regiment commander and other four comrades-in-arms and Philippine fighters, and it is said that there are no more than six planes on patrol each time, so he didn't think much about it, although he felt that 12 planes were sent this time, which was a bit too much, but the war was a matter for the political high-level, and there was no need for them ordinary officers and soldiers to bother with their brains, but they did not expect that the planes of both sides that arrived almost at the same time suddenly reached 24, which was the size of two flight regiments! At that time, he felt that something was wrong, but the discipline in the army was strict, and casual conversations were not allowed in the war zone, so he could only stare at one enemy plane, and of course, the other side was also staring at them, and the aircraft radar constantly displayed alarm signals, and as soon as he got rid of the opponent, he was locked up again, and dozens of high-speed fighters were fighting for each other in the narrow airspace, competing to occupy a favorable attack position, trying to suppress the other side, until the other side's spiritual belief was completely crushed. Later, it is impossible to distinguish between the long plane and the wingman, the entire aircraft of the two sides are staggered with each other, and if you are not careful, you will be suppressed by the other party, and there are often three or four planes in the longitudinal airspace suppressing each other, and the situation is about to erupt, both sides are tense nerves, but fortunately they are all excellent soldiers, if ordinary people would have been unable to help but do it first!

Even if this is the case, someone can't help but make the first move! At the same time as a thick smoke rose from the sea, three Chinese fighters launched an attack on the opponent from different angles, and a few seconds later, two planes plunged headlong into the sea, and the air battle finally broke out. According to the electronic recording system, Lin* fired missiles at his opponent less than a tenth of a second later than his teammates, and when he launched them, just when he had just locked on to his opponent, he and his comrades who launched missiles half a second later than him sent their opponents into the sea. It can be said that no matter what the performance of the fighters of the two sides is, as soon as the war began, the Chinese side took the lead, and the air force ratio became 12 to 10, and almost at the same time that the two Philippine fighters rushed into the sea, a Chinese fighter plane also quickly crashed into the sea, becoming the first Chinese plane to be shot down.

The melee in the air officially began, and because of the relatively close distance, the over-the-horizon attack was simply a decoration, and if it was equipped with an aerial gun, the aerial artillery could knock the opponent down. After shooting down the opponent, the "no opponent" Lin * quickly approached the nearby long plane, and looked for an opportunity to lock on to the opponent of the long plane, because the speed of the aircraft is very high, and almost in a very narrow airspace to fight, the three planes quickly approached, the enemy plane in front, the regiment commander Meng Haibo in the rear and above, and Lin * approached in front of the side, the two Chinese fighters flanked, so that the Philippine flight squadron leader was extremely nervous, although he is also an experienced senior pilot, but as soon as he came up, it was a soldier against a soldier, and a general. The opponent is not weaker than himself at all, it was more difficult to deal with it, and now the wingman is gone, even if he is strong, he can't face the short-range combat of two strong opponents at the same time, not to mention that the level of the wingman is very clear, and he will be killed by the opponent in one round, which shows that the opponent is not weak at all; In his haste, he fired two jamming missiles at the opponent behind him, and as long as he could get rid of the strong enemy behind him, he was confident that he would be able to escape from the opponent's wingman. However, he obviously underestimated the ability of the young Chinese pilots, or the sons of the Li family, and even more so underestimated some of the capabilities of the Chinese J-16 fighters. The third and fourth missiles were launched at once, and quickly approached the plane of the current Philippine warring air commander who was later said to be called Smith Lin, and the consequence of both missiles was that the plane disintegrated in the air, becoming the second enemy plane shot down by Lin* since the engagement, and the most critical enemy plane in this battle!

At this time, regiment commander Meng Haibo, who had already broken away from the attack position, quickly set up his position and used the airborne command system to command the whole team; as a battlefield commander, he not only had to fight with the opponent, but also had to exercise overall command and coordinate the combat of all planes. Just when he seized the command position, that is, less than a minute after leaving the battle, another Chinese fighter was injured and had to withdraw from the battle, and his comrades took over his combat position, at this time, the ratio of numbers between the two sides was 10 to 9, and since then, the air battle has changed in favor of China! In the air, especially in close combat, the number of planes is very important, and it is difficult for any one aircraft to fight against two opponents, and once it is attacked by the other side, it often cannot escape the fate of being annihilated, or at least loses the ability to attack. Because the technology of both sides is excellent, the cooperation is relatively tacit, and the aircraft are also very advanced and the latest fighters, the performance in close combat is very different, especially in the melee, it is very subtle. At this time, the disadvantage of the Philippine side gradually became apparent, not only was the number smaller than that of the opponent, but even the supreme commander parachuted, and the situation was extremely passive. Sure enough, in less than a minute, the results came out, three planes were shot down, and three planes were injured, and had to withdraw from the battlefield, originally wanted to support their comrades, and won the opportunity to get out of the theater of war The three fighters, in the face of the siege of the fierce six planes, could not parry at all, taking advantage of the chaos, hurriedly launched the missile, turned around and ran, and made various evasive actions while running, which made it bitter that the two injured fighters who had just exited the battlefield were quickly caught up, and finally both were forced to abandon the plane and parachute, There is no need for the adversary to launch missiles...... This made the Chinese pilots who were eager to make meritorious contributions very dissatisfied, although China is already very rich, but missiles are still relatively valuable, and it is still not allowed to waste missiles like this, so they have to return in vain!

Although the Chinese side won the battle, many people were also severely criticized. In the later air battles, although the Philippines lost five planes, two of them were voluntarily abandoned by the pilots, and in fact only two were damaged, but even when the strength and command were superior, two were shot down by the other side and one was damaged. In the case of having an advantage, he was beaten 3 to 3 by the opponent, but it was a very faceless thing, so it seems that if he hadn't taken the opponent by surprise at the beginning and occupied the advantage in numbers and command, wouldn't it be difficult to say who would win or lose this battle. That's not a good corollary. However, the pilots also had a belly full of fire, especially the three pilots who were damaged in the later stage, they were completely calculated by the opponent, and they were shot down by the opponent's unfatal attack, and the two downed planes, one was killed with the other party, and the other was flanked by two enemy planes, although the opponent was also shot down or injured by his comrades, and the other seriously damaged plane was also flanked. Even he was seriously injured and eventually had to abandon the plane and parachute to escape, because the nearly 50-minute flight was really beyond his strength. Lin * was one of the more special ones in this battle, he was the only pilot who shot down two enemy planes, although his first enemy plane was a sneak attack, and the second was a "cheap" pick up from the regiment commander, but he still painted two red stars on his fighter plane with almost no damage. Of the 12 people who took part in the battle this time, four shot down enemy planes, two wounded enemy planes, and the first comrade-in-arms who was forced to withdraw from the battle also shot down an enemy plane. Although they won the first battle, everyone still had lingering palpitations, if it wasn't for the usual targeted training, they really didn't necessarily have to deal with the enemy's fierce fighting style, which made them sweep away the relatively weak prejudice of the Southeast Asian Air Force at once, at least the ruthlessness of the other party, they couldn't help but surprise them!

The J-16 fighter plane, which China participated in the war, is the latest fighter in China, and its overall level has reached the world's advanced level, making it one of the best fighters in the world today. Over the past few decades, after decades of hard work, China has finally gotten rid of the passive situation of importing a large number of advanced fighters from Russia, and its self-developed advanced fighters are completely comparable to Russia's most advanced fighters! Moreover, due to the mastery of advanced electronic technology, the electronic performance of the aircraft has been greatly improved, not only getting rid of the earlier dependence on European electronics, but also much higher than the electronic level of Russia, which is completely comparable to American fighters! A full-fledged system for the production of military aircraft has been established to become a real aviation power in the world. As the latest generation of fighters, the J-16 not only has outstanding over-the-horizon combat capability, but also has excellent stealth and close combat capabilities, and its flight range is relatively long; it can stay in the air on the Philippine coastline for more than 40 minutes from some airports in Guangdong, and if it is combined with air tankers, it can stay in the air for more than 10 minutes on the edge of the South China Sea, and it has become a powerful weapon for China to deter certain countries in Southeast Asia!

However, the countries of Southeast Asia are not weak; over the years, they have purchased a large number of advanced fighters from Europe and the United States, especially the United States, and the existing large number of planes are basically the "most advanced" fighters exported by the United States to friendly countries. Moreover, as soon as the war began, the Philippines gave the Chinese a dismount!

Contemporary war history researchers have done a lot of research on the first war in Southeast Asia, believing that it was a "rare 20th century war of the 21st century." The navies of the two sides carried out "face-to-face bombardment" at visual distance, and the air forces of the two sides engaged in "face-to-face hand-to-hand combat." Exactly who started the war has also been debated, but a more objective point of view is that the two sides unanimously decided to start a war, which can be explained in several ways. Second, the contradictions between the two countries (alliances) have been accumulating for a long time, and the hostile sentiment is very serious, especially the media of some countries have long been fanning the flames, and military frictions have continued one after another. Third, the economic crisis has just passed, but in fact it has not yet completely ended, the antagonism between countries is still quite serious, the international community lacks a strong mediation capacity, and the adjustment of international relations will take time. Fourth, the two sides invariably used heavy forces to confront, the navy, military experts have noticed that just outside the five-hour voyage, there are a large number of warships "close to each other", both sides seem to be determined to do a big job, and the air is more prone to misfire, different from the previous small force confrontation of less than 6 aircraft, 24 planes were gathered at once to confront, everyone knows that the more planes, the more difficult the situation is to control, and depending on the situation, if the number of fighters on one side is relatively small, Probably, there is not even the process of confrontation, so judging by the reaction of the air forces of the two countries alone, war seems inevitable! Of course, the result of the first battle was an impeccable victory for the Chinese Air Force, not only shooting down 8 fighters of the opposing side, but also fighting the opponent and fleeing, and this also seemed to indicate the final outcome of this war!

Military experts are very dissatisfied with the way this battle is conducted, and the two countries with the world's most advanced fighters actually "fight hand-to-hand" like two shirtless strong men, which is really bad for these advanced fighters, and makes the aircraft engineers cry and laugh; The same is true of naval warfare, two destroyers face to face with one cannon and one cannon against us, and the missiles can be said to have hit with fire, almost reaching 100 percent, and the protective facilities on the ships have no effect at all. But no matter what people say about this war, it did happen, and it triggered a multinational war that swept many countries in Southeast Asia, and as time went on, more and more countries were involved in different ways, becoming another catastrophe for human society after the economic crisis, especially some Asian countries. And this unique battle is called the "Battle of the New Year" by Chinese military experts and historians!

According to the analysis of experts, Asia occupies a considerable part of several conflict-sensitive regions in the 21 st century, and the Far East has always been the area that experts pay the most attention to. There are no weak countries in the Far East, China, Japan, South Korea, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and the United States, which has a strong influence in the region, among these countries, China, Japan and the United States are the most powerful, and the antagonism between Japan and China is the most serious. Before and in the early stages of the economic crisis, the world recognized that the Sino-Japanese contradiction was the most serious regional contradiction, and it was seen that war was about to break out, but thanks to the mediation of the governments of the world and the fear of falling behind the world rivals due to the double blow, the dispute between the two countries unfolded in another form, and it should be said that the political situation in the Far East would improve as a result, and there was no need for people to worry about the occurrence of a large-scale war. But this is not the case, only the political differences between China and Japan have improved, under the influence of various factors, the conflict between China and Southeast Asia, which is lighter than the Sino-Japanese conflict, has risen unprecedentedly, and under the influence of all parties, it has finally triggered an unprecedentedly fierce war!

Similar to the conflict between China and Japan, the conflict between China and Southeast Asia is also related to territorial and economic interests, China and Japan are competing for the continental shelf of the East China Sea and some islands, and between China and Southeast Asia is the ownership of many maritime islands that traditionally belong to China, these disputes have continued for decades, but have not been well resolved, becoming the most fundamental reason for the war! The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) refers to a loose alliance of ten countries in the tropical region of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Laos and Vietnam, among which the former five countries are the most powerful and also have direct conflicts of interest with China. In fact, the relationship between China and ASEAN is quite good, the economic ties are also relatively close, and the ties with many important countries are even closer, such as Malaysia, China is more supportive, and some other small countries also have quite good relations with China, such as Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar. However, Southeast Asia is a region where international forces are intertwined, and the United States and Japan have even more powerful influence here than China, even India and Australia have no weaker influence in individual countries than China, and in addition, Russia and the European Union also have considerable spokesperson power here, making regional relations in Southeast Asia have been stumbling. From the perspective of the people, Southeast Asian countries have a pro-China side and an anti-China side, and there are deep-rooted fan-China forces in society. Although the Chinese are widely distributed, due to historical reasons, the local Chinese power has not reached its economic height, and from time to time it has been hit by some fanhua turmoil. In recent years, due to the growing strength of China, the situation of the Chinese people has been much better, but the root cause has not been eliminated, and eventually directly led to the war in Southeast Asia after the emergency crisis!

The impact of the economic crisis on Southeast Asian countries is quite serious, although these countries have a relatively good economic foundation, but in fact they have lagged behind China, and this crisis, which has made the already complex situation even more complicated, has exceeded China's ability to control, China's influence in Southeast Asia has declined sharply, and finally from most countries have been concealed! China mainly affected all aspects of the situation in Southeast Asia through economic means before the economic crisis, the economic exchanges between the two sides are very frequent, China is the largest exporter and importer of Southeast Asian countries, and Southeast Asia is also an important importer and exporter of China, but the economic crisis has made this relationship interrupted all of a sudden, in May 36, the trade volume between the two sides was only 20% of a year ago, and in February 37, it further fell to 9% before the crisis, which can be said to have basically stopped, One of the only major powers in trade is that China sells arms and other materials to Malaysia. On the other hand, due to the tense domestic situation and the rising contradictions with Japan, China has abandoned its efforts to provide assistance to some countries and has taken measures to wait and see the sharp deterioration of the situation in Southeast Asia. At the same time, it has given severe accusations to some countries for the increasingly unfriendly incidents against the Chinese, and the attitude is quite serious, and a certain unfriendly atmosphere has gradually formed.
