Chapter 475: Choose Wisely
Perhaps because this will be their own territory in the future, Gao Jinxian and O'Neill did not come up with a burst of bombardment like they did with the Philippines, and they didn't even pay attention to the two New Zealand and Australian reconnaissance planes that appeared in the sky from time to time.
Instead, it waited until nearly 4 o'clock in the morning on the 1st, and then locked on two reconnaissance planes at high altitude, and launched two Exocs missiles from the destroyer No. 103.
After more than 10 seconds, two flashes of explosions were heard in the sky more than 10 kilometers and dozens of kilometers away, and the carrier-based planes on the Jeju aircraft carrier took off in pairs, and when the 48 carrier-based planes of the air supremacy were formed, they began to fly towards Christchurch. At this time, the information transmitted from the Cloud Eagle reconnaissance plane over the South Island of New Zealand also made the entire fleet command room aware that the Australian fighter plane had also completed its takeoff.
"I hope the Australian army doesn't hold out too much, otherwise we will have too many killings this time." In the combat command room of the Jeju fleet, Gao Jinxian sighed a little. At this time, the aircraft carrier group was approaching the South Island at a cruising speed of more than 100 nautical miles west of the Chatham Islands.
"As good as your intentions are, I don't think the Australian military would do that, don't forget that the commander-in-chief said that he would fight their country, in this case, how could they obediently admit defeat." O'Neill shook his head while looking at the various signal information projected in real time.
They really didn't pay attention to the New Zealand army, even if they were frantically purchasing all kinds of air defense and anti-ship weapons this year, and even fighter jets were urgently purchased from other countries. But the innate lack of heavy equipment is enough to make them deadly.
Not to mention the 36 F-18 series fighters that they have eliminated from Australia, let's talk about the original New Zealand Air Force, NHINH90 8 multi-role helicopters. 6 P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft, 5 SH-2 Kraken helicopters, 5 B200 aircraft, 2 Boeing 757 aircraft, 5 C-130 transport aircraft, 14 UH-1 helicopters, and 13 PACCT/4 light aircraft aircraft.
Look at it, that's all the equipment of the New Zealand Air Force. Even if you add the existing 36 Hornets, it is a little insufficient for the nearly 100 air supremacies of the Jeju aircraft carrier.
So. As for gaining air supremacy in this war, everyone in the entire aircraft carrier formation has no doubts. As for the US military bases on the South Island, oh, forget it. It's just a detection station. This place is far away from all the imaginary enemy countries in the world, and the United States will deploy its air force here unless it is stupid.
Even the current Prime Minister of New Zealand, John? Clark asked the other side to deploy some fighter jets to the United States, but Oba did not agree, if you really want to get the direct military participation of the United States, it is better to wait for the next president to come to power.
"Guys, it's coming soon, everyone, pay attention!" O'Neill looked at the convergence reconnaissance signals transmitted from space, reconnaissance planes, fighter jets taking off to participate in the war, and underwater submarines, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. But it was solemnly reminding everyone in the command room.
No matter how weak the enemy's military strength is, O'Neill will attach great importance to it. He can despise his opponent strategically, but he will never despise tactically, and there are too many examples of capsizing in the gutter.
I have to say that the various data exchange capabilities of the new and unique military surveillance and command system are indeed quite powerful, at least in the eyes of O'Neill, a guy who has used multiple data link systems in the United States, the two sides have no comparison at all. Even in the darkest hour before dawn, the four-in-one radar reconnaissance and visual detection capabilities are powerful enough to kill all opponents in seconds.
From the moment the 32 Australian fighters took off, the Cloud Eagle reconnaissance plane from the air transmitted the information of the 32 Big Yellow Peaks to the fleet command room accurately and in real time, plus there was confirmation from another Cloud Eagle reconnaissance plane and space satellite, which can ensure that the information is accurate, and it is dynamically transmitted in real time at high speed, and even the real-time video monitoring from space and the Cloud Eagle reconnaissance plane can let the command know everything about the 32 Big Yellow Peaks at any time.
Both the New Zealand Air Force and the Australian Air Force were annoyed by these two nasty Cloud Eagle reconnaissance planes from the sky, and they never left their heads in the past two days. They no longer have illusions about it, except that they have just launched a few missiles to try to shoot them down, but to no avail. This kind of ultra-high-speed high-altitude reconnaissance plane, which has a speed of more than Mach 10 and can fly up to more than 30,000 meters, it is impossible for all the missiles in their hands to shoot down, because their missiles cannot catch up with the other side at all, and they can even accelerate a little to let themselves launch a missile that is not ready to use up all the fuel, and thus fall from the sky or detonate in the sky.
It was precisely because they knew that their missiles were ineffective against the Yunying reconnaissance plane, and the pilots on the 32 fighters looked at the reconnaissance planes flying beside them bitterly, and while they resolutely accelerated and flew towards the east, they did not have much hope for the mission of their trip.
"Oh, FU)CK, dodge, dodge, I'm locked!" Suddenly, the captain's anxious voice came from the communication system of the helmet, and I saw that the fighters on the fight immediately made various evasion actions, and then more and more fighters began to evade in the same way, and for a while, nearly 60 kilometers east of Christchurch, a group of fighters quickly spread, trying to get rid of the lock from the seagull air-to-air missile.
Even at this time, their digital multi-mode pulse Doppler radar, which can reach a long distance of 148 kilometers, has not yet discovered where their enemy is, and the warning sound of being locked by missiles came from the fighter planes, and then they saw a group of dense dots flying in front of them, and they knew that it must be an air-to-air missile sent by the other side.
At this time, this group of pilots was scolding the damn government in their hearts, and this completely disproportionate battle was purely for people to die. The Air Dominance fighter claims to be able to detect the enemy at 300 kilometers and conduct ultra-long-range operations. The detection range of other people's radar is twice as long, so how can this battle be fought.
The 32 Seagull air-to-air missiles approaching at high speed reached the fighters at a speed of Mach 5.6 in an instant. Thomas? Taylor, one of Australia's ace pilots, dived straight into the sea when all kinds of evasive maneuvers were almost ineffective, and he knew that the success or failure of the road was here, and if he couldn't get rid of the little seagull that was getting closer and closer behind his butt, then he would have to go to God.
The speed was increased to the maximum, but the speed of the big yellow peak in his hand still had a huge gap with the seagull. Not only did the sirens inside the fighter become more and more rapid and harsh, but even the afterglow of his eyes when he dived at maximum speed could see the missiles chasing after his ass getting closer and closer. The kind of super speed he had never seen before made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Hurry up, baby, hurry up!" Thomas? Taylor was eager to use his strength to feed, but the speed of the big yellow peak had reached the limit, and finally when the little seagull was still less than a few hundred meters away from him. He rushed a few hundred meters above the surface of the sea. Then he made a sharp turn at a large angle, and quickly made a serpentine movement on the surface of the sea, trying to get rid of the little one behind him. He didn't dare to pull up quickly at all, that would only slow down the speed of his Big Yellow Peak, and as long as the Big Yellow Peak, which had no advantage in speed, was pulled up, it would be equivalent to death, so he had to take a risk.
But the rapid sirens sounding in the fighter and the small dots on the radar that were getting closer and closer made him realize that all his actions just now were still in vain. It was only at this time that he understood what his Chinese wife meant by what he meant by being a teacher and dying before he died. This he. Mother can't call it war at all, it's purely death and slaughter. Completely disproportionate weapon performance. It is completely impossible for himself and his comrades to achieve any results.
"Guys, we did our best. Let's skydive, and don't forget everyone and your family! After that, he was the first to grit his teeth reluctantly, pulled the bouncing handle, and suddenly in the sky of several hundred meters, beautiful little flowers appeared.
As soon as he parachuted, he felt a huge blast wave from under his body, and looked down at the car that was hit and exploded. Taylor sighed helplessly, and at the same time felt glad in his heart for his decision. The Seagull air-to-air missile is so fast that it's impossible for you to have any chance of escaping.
Moreover, according to the situation just now, the Seagull air-to-air missile is also a missile that does not need to be ignored after launch, and it has already received its own target information from the fighter when it is launched, and it can always correct its own line in time during the flight, and kiss the target as quickly as possible.
Thomas? Taylor's decision was undoubtedly the right one, not only did he save himself, but he also saved most of his comrades who were fighting at this time as the first fighter pilot to be hit and as Australia's ace pilot and captain.
In Thomas? When Taylor and the others took off, two passenger and cargo ships were heading east in the eastern part of Christchurch port. When the sky grew brighter, they rushed to the warring sea to rescue Thomas? When Taylor and the other 29 pilots saw these Australian pilots who had been soaking in the water for more than an hour and were weak, Alex smiled and announced to them: "Congratulations, you are now prisoners." ”
Thomas? Taylor and the others were stunned, and some of them had a bad temper and wanted to attack on the spot, but Alex obviously didn't take them seriously, and said with a smile: "Hey guys, if I were you, it would be better not to misunderstand the action, otherwise the gun in my hand is not an ornament!" ”
Thomas? Taylor smiled bitterly and threw away the pistol he had taken out of his body, and said with some doubts: "I'm curious, why don't you send us back to Christchurch, you know that you can get a lot of money in that way." ”
Alex laughed, "I'm sorry gentlemen, but you are now islanders, but you are no longer your allies. ”
Thomas? Taylor shook his head with a wry smile again, and said, "Okay, okay, then you can always help find the bodies of our comrades, I swear that I will never fight with the private territory air force again, this is pure slaughter, no, no, I don't even want to fly again in the future." ”
Akris didn't reply to him, but directly asked people to search around the nearby seas, and after half an hour, except for the two bodies that were not too complete, nothing else was found, and then the two passenger and cargo ships staggered towards the Chatham Islands.
From the time they were shot down to the present, they could see or hear the Sky Overlord coming and going between the aircraft carrier and the South Island in the sky from time to time, and they knew that it was impossible to hold the South Island, not to mention that there was not much military deployment there.
