The former commander decisively agreed to Li Zhan's suggestion, and the Flying Shark squad, which had completed the replenishment of ammunition at Dachang Station, quickly took off into the air, and each fighter was hung with two YJ-83 air-launched anti-ship missiles and four air-to-air missiles, which were definitely armed to the teeth.

The units participating in the exercise switched from exercise to actual combat, with the purpose of combating pirates in the West Pacific, and the speed of change of troops was very fast, while the speed of change of the Flying Shark detachment that replenished ammunition at the main station was the fastest, and the fighters took off and took off as soon as they completed their replenishment, and it was carried out in full accordance with wartime standards.

Another reason is because at this moment, it is their chief instructor who is on the front line, and everyone is anxious, so they will naturally move faster.

However, there is another group of troops that move faster than them, that is, the white-headed Su-30MKK detachment, which was originally planned to carry out live firing of sea attacks in the early morning, is already in the airspace of the exercise, and is only 300 kilometers away from Li Zhan, and only needs to advance 100 kilometers to enter the firing range.

However, they only carried two YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, so the timely support of the Flying Shark team was still very important.

Since the former commander agreed to Li Zhan's plan, what Li Zhan wanted to guide was the anti-ship missiles of the Baitou squad. If the two YJ-83 anti-ship missiles can all hit the target, it is also a very good measure to delay the pirate fleet. Li Zhan is very familiar with the situation of the white-headed Su-30MKK, after cracking the code, these imported models have been able to use domestic weapons and ammunition, but at the maximum range, it is still difficult to accurately hit the target without relay guidance.

The large AWACS aircraft attached to the Air Force could not do this, although they also found a pirate fleet more than 300 kilometers away after conducting a targeted sea search based on Li Zhan's report (the AWACS aircraft was on the west side of the exercise area, in a safe airspace).

Li Zhan was also a bold man, even if he had just experienced an extremely dangerous encounter, he was sure that he would be able to retreat fifty kilometers and continue his mission before he completely broke away from the threat area of the pirate fleet. This level of self-confidence is extremely rare.

Yang Yu, chief of staff of the Bald Eagle Division, led the Baektu Su-30MKK detachment, and after receiving the order, he rushed to the designated airspace with another Su-30MKK that was also carrying a YJ-83K (K stands for air-launched) anti-ship missile, and the rest of the fighters immediately returned to the airspace to reload ammunition.

The command was like fire, and Yang Yu and his wingman pulled to the highest speed they could reach and flew towards the designated airspace. In the process, the AWACS aircraft, according to Li Zhan's instructions, gave the two white-headed Su-30MKKs approximate target parameters, ordering them to launch missiles as soon as they entered the attack position.

At this time, Wang Jiaqi hurriedly asked Peng Hongbing, "Old Peng, are those two F-15Js confirmed to have crashed?" ”

"Yes, the AWACS aircraft reported that the target signal did disappear, but it is not known whether it was shot down by Li Zhan." Peng Hongbing said with a smile, "He doesn't have an anti-aircraft weapon, it is estimated that it is not him, or for other reasons, the two targets disappeared at the same time, which is very strange." ”

Wang Jiaqi said with a smile, "Didn't he still have an aerial cannon, maybe he really shot it down, that kid can't look down on it." ”

Peng Hongbing shook his head and said, "He is driving a flying leopard, or an old model with very backward performance, and it is basically impossible to shoot down two F-15Js." ”

"Yes, the opponent is two Eagle fighters, and it will be difficult for him to deal with." Wang Jiaqi sighed and said, then his face turned pale, and said, "Let Yang Yu speed up, the pirates have a geographical advantage, and they will take off more fighters, Li Zhan's situation is not optimistic." ”

Peng Hongbing nodded and said, "Is it to let Li Zhan withdraw, he has nothing in his hands." ”

"Withdraw him to the first wave of blows that will not be carried out, follow his advice and trust in his abilities." Wang Jiaqi said.

Peng Hongbing immediately went to urge.

Don't look at Li Zhan's lightheartedness, in fact, his situation is not optimistic. While making recommendations to the command post, he was also flying at ultra-low altitude skimming the sea in the formation of the pirate fleet. The fire control radars of all kinds of pirate ships were operating at high speed to catch him, and the radar alarms were ringing in bursts.

Niu Jun looked at the dark surroundings, and could see the navigation lights on the mast of the pirate ship not far away, and she suddenly said in her heart, "Senior brother, you have used the blind spot of the air defense weapon, but our height is too low, only five meters." ”

"It's worth taking a little risk. Don't look at their fire control radar constantly locking on us, it will definitely break in no more than three seconds, and there is no way to form a continuous tracking, so their close defense guns are not easy to fire. ”

As Li Zhan spoke, the fighter plane flew at high speed almost against the starboard side of a pirate ship in front of him. Not to mention that the close defense gun cannot form a good firing range, even if it locks and fires, it is difficult to hit a target flying at high speed at such a close distance.

"You treat our fighter as an anti-ship missile in the terminal attack stage, and there is no big problem in flying out." Li Zhan said.

It's easy to say, but the way he is engrossed in manipulating the fighter shows that things are not simple. The flight altitude hovers between four meters and five meters, this distance is extremely dangerous, and the wave height in the sea area is more than one meter, basically it can be said that Li Zhan drove the old flying leopard as a speedboat. The occasional spray of the waves smashed in the air and the mist formed hit the front windshield, and I just wished that there were no wipers.

The fighter is in afterburner, and the airspeed is as high as 900 kilometers per hour, which means that as long as Li Zhan has a deviation of 0.01 seconds, he, Niu Jun and Lao Feibao will plunge into the sea like divers.

It takes about two minutes to run twenty kilometers out, which is probably the most thrilling two minutes Li Zhan has ever experienced. Twenty meters of sea-skimming altitude is already extremely difficult, and pilots who can maintain this altitude and high-speed flight are all trump cards, let alone four or five meters high sea-skimming high-speed flight at this moment. At least Li Zhan himself had never challenged such a low sea-skimming altitude or land-grabbing height.

And this is night, the visibility is almost zero, it is almost impossible to judge the distance, even with night vision. Li Zhan's method is not to use night vision devices, relying on the naked eye to observe the waves in front of him to judge the relative position. The use of night vision devices will bring visual errors, and there is also the problem of delayed response, the most reliable is the naked eye.

Niu Jun is coarse nerves, or she doesn't know what kind of dangerous flight Li Zhan is doing, the head is black, and the bottom is also black, she can't even tell the difference between the sky and the sea many times, and she can't talk about being afraid.

In the extremely difficult two minutes, Niu Jun in the rear cabin actually brought extra pressure to Li Zhan, and he would definitely not have these additional pressures if he changed his comrades, Niu Jun was not an aircrew after all, she should not pay for her mistakes, if she made a mistake.

Fortunately, Li Zhan finally escaped from the threat of the pirate fleet without danger, and after retreating twenty kilometers, he quickly climbed to a high altitude, so he received an order from the command post to prepare for the relay guidance of the anti-ship missile.

However, the threat of the pirate fleet remains.

"Angry old leopard, I detected two high-speed targets coming towards you, most likely standard missiles launched by pirate ships, pay attention to evade!" The command post solemnly reminded Li Zhan.

Li Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, "They really can't fight Lao Tzu, and the standard missiles are all used." ”

"Angry old leopard, speed up and retreat, suspend the relay guidance mission, we are not in a hurry to attack!" The command post on the AWACS plane received the order from the front and immediately conveyed it to Li Zhan.

Li Zhan quickly assessed his own environment and requested, "Command post, I suggest continuing to carry out the anti-ship relay guidance mission, my current position will not be in great danger, over." ”

More than ten seconds later, the command post agreed to Li Zhan's request.

The strength of the pirate fleet is not weak, especially the two armed pirate ships equipped with the Standard 2 air defense missile system, which pose a great threat to their own air detachments, and if they can defeat the two "King Kong" class ships in time, it will be a very powerful blow to the pirate fleet, and it will also cut off their only long-range air defense means.

Li Zhan has already reported the specific model of the pirate fleet, the front finger is very clear, and Li Zhan is also very clear about where the key points are. However, with only two YJ-83K anti-ship missiles, it is difficult to inflict heavy damage on the two "King Kong" class air defense corsairs with a displacement of more than 9,000 tons at the same time.

The two "King Kong" class air defense corsair ships are equipped with the Aegis system, use standard 2 Block 3 air defense missiles, have a maximum range of 160 km, and have a certain anti-missile capability, and the ship is also the strongest destroyer in Asia, and from the point of view of technical indicators, it is more advanced than the "Burke" class destroyers used by the US Navy, because it is simply based on the "Burke" class and is enlarged and developed.

"It would be nice if I could capture one." Li Zhan thought to himself, this thing is more advanced than 052C.

Of course, how could a fighter capture a surface ship, he was thinking a little too much.

Li Zhan quickly prepared for evasion, but worse happened, the command post reported that two more high-speed targets appeared, still standard missiles, then two, then two, and then two......

"Are they crazy?" Li Zhan turned the nose of the plane and let the nose point in the direction of the missile's attack, at this time, the old airborne radar could detect the target, and he counted eight batches of sixteen standard missiles smashed over!

At this moment, there is only one fighter in this airspace, and the other party actually uses sixteen standard missiles, which is already the amount of super-saturation attack. Could it be that the targets of the other missiles are the two white-headed Su-30MKKs behind them?

Li Zhan quickly called Yang Yu directly, "Strike One, report your location, the target fleet has launched sixteen standard missiles, all coming this way." ”

Yang Yu's two-plane formation was in a state of radar silence, and through the position reported by the early warning aircraft, he quickly calculated the relative position, and said, "Angry old leopard, I am eighty kilometers west of you, and it is expected to reach the designated airspace in thirty seconds, over!" ”

"You are in the attack range of the standard missile, let's enter the launch procedure now, the distance is enough, and the evasion is done after the launch, over." Li Zhan said.

Undoubtedly, he took over the command of the first line very decisively.

Yang Yu said neatly, "Understood!" Ready to launch! ”

He and his wingman were already flying at top speed at high altitude, climbing for five seconds to reach an altitude of 16,000 meters, and in the process they also completed their pre-launch preparations. Immediately after that, they launched anti-ship missiles at a frequency of five seconds apart.

"Strike 1 has been launched!"

"Strike 2 completes launch!"

"Steering down highly avoidance!" The command post gave a decisive order.

The two YJ-83Ks flew towards the Corsair fleet, but didn't they just collide with the standard missiles that came to intercept them? In fact, after precise calculations, Li Zhan came to the conclusion that the white-headed Su-30MKK did not have the detection range of the standard missile's guidance head when it launched the missile, and when the carrier locked on to the YJ-83K and transmitted the new data to the standard missile, the YJ-83K had already begun to dive at high speed.

Judging from the height from which the standard missiles began to turn, it can be judged that the targets of the sixteen standard missiles were indeed Li Zhan, which was good news for covering the attack of the YJ-83K. However, Li Zhan must provide relay guidance in time when the YJ-83K enters the end of the attack, that is, when it is twenty kilometers away from the target, otherwise it is difficult to ensure the hit rate.

As for why the pirate fleet used a super-saturation attack to deal with Li Zhan, it was entirely because what Li Zhan did made them mad. An old second-and-a-half-generation fighter actually caused them tragic losses of one death, one injury and three falls! Who can accept this outcome?

More than half of the "First Snow" class universal corsair that exploded in the bow main gun bay had already sunk, and it was only a matter of time before it sank completely, and despite the best efforts of the damage management personnel, it was impossible to save the ship with a displacement of more than 4,000 tons.

The other "Murayu"-class general corsair that was smashed into the hangar by its own "Sea Hawk" carrier-based helicopter was in relatively better condition, and the scene was quickly controlled. However, another "First Snow" class general corsair that was hit by the auxiliary fuel tank and caused a fire caused by the construction of a bridge is still struggling to put out the fire, and the most important thing is that the captain, deputy captain, and the head of the fire department were all killed in the impact, and the ship temporarily lost its combat effectiveness.

In the blink of an eye, two lost their combat effectiveness, and also lost two F-15J and one Sea Hawk carrier-based helicopter, while the opponent had only one old FBC-1 "Flying Leopard" fighter-bomber, and even only a few dozen rounds of aerial guns!

Who can accept such an outcome?

But as long as it is attacked by more than a dozen anti-ship missiles, everyone can accept such losses, and at the moment this comparison really makes the command team of the pirate fleet crazy.

The most unbearable thing is that the opponent actually let the opponent swagger away from the fleet formation!

The Kongo-class air defense pirate ship, the lead ship of the Kongo-class anti-aircraft pirate ship with the number 173 as the command ship, fired sixteen standard missiles in a row under the orders of the angry commander, and it was necessary to break the old FBC-1 to pieces!

The aggrieved Li Zhan could only bear all this silently.

"I can only try my best to avoid your attacks, who knows that you are more unlucky than me, a declining god, which means that the retribution of your ancestors has been brought to you, face the wind!"
