Chapter 118: The Whetstone

readx;

The pilot, Jenward, stared at the front with his eyes fixed, and struggled to lock on to the extremely maneuverable F15 fighter in front of him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I have long heard that the pilots of the Sè Column are extremely high-quality and have rich combat experience, but now I know that what I said is true, and it is very difficult.

Although he followed up and got the opportunity, the opponent's evasion action was too fast, and Zhan Huade didn't have time to lock on, and a series of cannon bullets followed the tail of the opponent's fuselage, all of which missed, and he didn't know where he flew.

"Locked!"

With a large-angle air turn, Zhan Huade's heart jumped, and he pressed the missile button without hesitation, the fuselage shook slightly, and a black mamba air-to-air missile flew out with a huge tail flame.

At this moment, the tail of the F15 seemed to light a firework, and with the rapid climb, a large area of flame decoy missiles spread out in the air.

The Black Mamba missile detonated in the air, and in the huge cloud of explosions, a scene appeared that made Zhan Huade's heart tighten.

The pilot of the opposing column not only reacted in an instant, firing shè decoy bombs, but also took the opportunity to pull up, and in an exaggerated somersault action in the air, the fuselage was facing down, and it happened to slide a hundred meters above Zhan Huade.

At that moment, through the cockpit, Zhan Huade could even see the cold and sharp gaze of the other pilot.

"Damn it!"

Zhan Huade scolded and pushed the cāo pole violently, and the fighter swooped straight down.

Now that the opportunity has been missed, Janward needs to reorganize the attack.

However, the F15 had already followed up like an appendage, and the twenty-millimeter M61A1 Vulcan cannon had already sprayed angry bullets.

Bullets grazed the cockpit, and the feeling of being so close to death made Jenward's heart almost jump out of his throat, and he twisted his body frantically, pulling, diving, steering, and doing everything possible to dodge.

The sound of being locked on, and the missile approaching, made Zhan Huade's heart frightened, and the scene that he had experienced as a pilot just now had experienced it again.

Without hesitation, he released the thermal decoy bomb, and Zhan Huade also planned to repeat the old trick, you will somersault in the air, won't I, and the Blackbird fighter with a vector engine, Xing can be much stronger than your broken F15.

However, as soon as he pulled up, Zhan Huade felt that the fighter jet leaned sharply to the left, and immediately shouted in his heart that it was bad.

Sure enough, the computer's self-test system had already told Jenward that the left wing had been shot.

The firefighting system was quickly activated and the system self-test was carried out, and Zhan Huade didn't have time to play any air somersaults, so he accelerated wildly and continued to dodge the series of chasing bullets.

At this moment, in the holographic image cast by the helmet, the target following behind it has disappeared and has been marked to be eliminated.

The Blackbird fighter is equipped with the Sky Eye radar, which has a 360-degree all-round detection, so that the pilot can grasp every target in the surrounding area in an all-round way.

However, capturing the target only provides some convenience for air combat, not who has this kind of star ability, the fighter is invincible, and the victory or defeat of the air battle still depends on the pilot's piloting skills.

"3127, next time you weren't so lucky, you just happened to be saved by me." A laughing, teasing voice sounded in Jenward's headphones.

It turned out that at the moment when Jenward was about to be shot down, a passing Blackbird fighter just happened to save Zhanward.

"Damn, 1926, I just took a nap and was accidentally locked by the other party, give me time, I'm sure I can shoot him down." Zhan Huade said unconvinced.

The problem of being shot in the left wing was not a big deal, and Jhanward still had the strength to fight.

Turning the fuselage, Zhan Huade was just about to lock on to the target, when he was suddenly attracted by an explosion in front of him, and his eyes turned red for a moment.

It was 1926, who had just saved himself, and was hit by a Sparrow missile that suddenly appeared.

"Shinawa!" There seemed to be a big bald head in front of him, always grinning face, and Zhan Ward roared angrily, locked onto the sneak attack F16 a few kilometers away, and rushed forward frantically.

A similar scene was constantly played out in the skies over Eilat, for the pilots of the Eilat Column, this was their Great Patriotic War, once they lost, their homes and relatives behind them would be slaughtered by the invaders, so they could not be defeated, and there was no reason to lose, forgetting to die, and pilots who had reached the point of exhaustion and drove fighter jets to collide with the enemy.

Similarly, for the Abyeh pilots, this is also the first time that the Abyeha Air Force has participated in the war since its formation.

In Abyeha, the Army, especially the First Army of the Army, has a glorious war history, they are the first to follow Yang Tian to fight the country, the old team of the Patriotic Liberation Front, and even opened up the territory, personally planted the three sè lion flags on the highest point in Khartoum.

As for the Air Force and the Navy, since its formation, the history of war has been almost zero, and now the war is finally coming, and the Air Force and the Navy are also holding back their strength to leave a name in history and create brilliant achievements.

In the city of Eilat, countless soldiers stuck their heads out of their bunkers and watched the flying fighter jets, the incessant sound of explosions, and the wreckage of planes that fell from time to time.

That kind of thrilling air battle scene cannot be described in pale words at all.

Everyone's expressions were almost sluggish, watching the battle with a numb mentality, tragic, there was nothing more tragic and fierce than this.

Everywhere you can see the fighters rushing towards Abye, and the fighters who want to die with the other side.

It is clear that the soldiers of the Sè column have noticed that their fighters are at a general disadvantage.

Although the pilots in the Sè column are well-trained, who says that Abye's pilot training is poor, they use more advanced memory imprinting training, three-dimensional simulation and other technologies for training, and have more time for flight training.

And the combat energy of the fighter is the key factor that determines this air battle.

One side is a third-generation aircraft, and the other is a fourth-generation aircraft, and the gap between this entire era is almost insurmountable.

Not to mention, Abye has more fighters than Ariel.

The air battle lasted for nearly an hour, and only about 20 of the more than 60 Israeli fighters survived, leaving behind the wreckage of more than 40 planes and evacuating from the battlefield in disarray.

On the Abyeh side, more than 80 fighters also lost nearly 20 of them, and the battle losses of both sides reached almost 1 to 3.

It stands to reason that such a record can be regarded as a good victory, but the results of the battle damage were transmitted to the Red Sea Fleet, and the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Mutafa, directly scolded.

In Mutafa's opinion, the Red Sea Fleet aviation, which has excellent capabilities, should be completely victorious, and the battle loss of one to three is not a joke, one to thirty is like a word.

But the result of the battle was like this, and Mutafa had no choice, so he gave the order to bomb Eilat with a cold face and a cold voice.

In the sky above Eilat, the Blackbird fighters without the enemy regrouped, swooping down again and again, firing missiles one after another, and Eilat, which had been destroyed by the army, was even more razed to ruins and turned into a sea of fire.

Some fighters ran out of missiles and had to dive down and sweep the defensive positions below shè with their aerial guns.

And the Column of Columns below was not idle, the anti-aircraft guns also fired, and there were portable surface-to-air missiles, all brought up, but for the Blackbird fighter's flight speed in Mach terms, it was really insignificant.

In a short time, the bombers that took off from the Red Sea Fleet also rushed to Eilat, and one after another high-explosive bombs, condensation bombs, fell on Eilat's defense line like cubs, and the entire Eilat was completely reduced to a sea of fire.

When the sun rises completely above the sea, the fighter jets and bombers disappear into the sky, and the once beautiful port city is completely in ruins.

The southern command of the sè column was already going crazy, and the attack of Abyeha had come too fast, and many fortifications had not had time to be built, and under this level of bombardment, the soldiers of the sè column were all meat targets, and they were only slaughtered.

The number of injuries must have been staggering.

Sure enough, after half an hour, the preliminary statistics of casualties came in.

Of the more than 16,000 people who rushed to Eilat through emergency mobilization, only 12,000 people are still fighting at the moment, and the casualty figure is close to 4,000.

However, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Command, Howson, did not have time to remember the victims, knowing that after the first round of bombardment, he would soon welcome the landing on the beach of Abyeji.

That was the decisive battle that would determine the course of the war.

……

At about seven o'clock in the morning, before the soldiers of the Israeli column had recovered from the bombardment, a large number of ships had already appeared on the horizon.

The commander of Eilat had already received an order from the command to know that Abyejha's ground landing force had arrived.

For nothing else, because the patrol boats that were patrolling the Gulf of Aqaba had already been sunk.

A large number of soldiers of the Elite did not have time to clear the mess of Eilat, and rescued the soldiers who were crushed in the rubble, so they rushed into the defensive position with guns under the command of the officer.

The artillery base a few kilometers away from Eilat had already opened fire, and one shell after another pierced the sky, flew over Eilat and landed on the sea, blowing up layers of waves tens of meters high.

Twelve air-cushion transport ships were driving under artillery fire, the waves were crashing against the side of the ship, and the marines in the cabin were also unsteady on their feet, but looking at their faces as usual, it seemed that they were used to this kind of thing, Mo said that they couldn't bear to vomit madly, even if their faces were not pale at all.

The establishment of this division-sized Marine Corps, Yang Tian has also invested a huge amount of Jing effort, and thirty percent of the national defense budget has been invested here, and all kinds of new equipment and new training methods will be used in the Marine Corps for the first time.

And this time, the beach-grabbing landing station is the best whetstone for this Marine Corps. (To be continued.) )
