The radar antenna is constantly rotating, every rotation week, it will scan the airspace, update the signal position, the radar in western Pakistan, almost at full speed, they are a little nervous, what is about to break out is a large-scale air battle.

"Spotted large flights, with pulsed radar signals." The long-range early warning radar report in the Landikota area, a large aircraft, itself with a pulsed radar signal, that must be an AWACS aircraft of the Soviets!

Are the Soviets really determined to fight? In the Peshawar Military Region Command, Mhammad was a little nervous in his heart, how could the Soviets be so ignorant of practice that they tried to invade Pakistan without even wiping their buttocks off Afghanistan?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, the leaders of the USSR would not have done this, such an event has never happened in history. But now, why did the Soviets have so much audacity to attack? How could their leaders make such a choice?

Suddenly, Mhammad remembered something, the current leader of the USSR, Leonid Brezhnev, I am afraid, is in the hospital! Since the death of his black cat, Brezhnev has not had a few days to live.

Those defense ministers and members of the Political Affairs Bureau are probably all guarding the hospital, and no one will care about what is happening here.

"Damn! Is the Fourth Army going to provoke a war with Pakistan? In Kabul, General Akhromeyev slammed his fist on the table and said to the people below: "Is there a connection with Moscow?" ”

Senior General Akhromeyev commanded the entire Afghan armed forces, including the fighters of the 40th Army, as well as the Afghan government forces, while the Fourth Army's aviation regiment stationed in Afghanistan was also under the command of General Akhromeyev.

But. This does not include the other aviation units of the Fourth Army in Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, and when it learned that the Pakistani Air Force had actually taken the initiative to attack the Soviet Air Force, leading a Su-24 to crash and damage another aircraft, the Fourth Army seemed to be enraged and dispatched a large number of warplanes. It even included a Tu-126 AWACS aircraft, as if to engage Pakistan's air force on a large scale.

This made General Akhromeyev very worried, Afghanistan alone has already exhausted the Soviet fighters, and if it fights with Pakistan again, it will be even more difficult to end, you know, behind Pakistan, but the entire Western world!

The commander of the Fourth Army was simply stubborn. He did not listen to the dissuasion of General Akhromeyev at all, so General Akhromeyev could only take Moscow.

"Connected, however, the Minister of Defense, His Excellency Marshal Ustinov, could not be found." The adjutant said.

Can't find it? General Akhromeyev walked a few steps back and forth in the room and said: "Then find Secretary Andropov!" ”

In Moscow, the hospital is a tense and busy scene, and countless old men who are already very old. I am waiting outside the ward, in the operating room. Their great general secretary is carrying out rescue inside, I don't know how many times it has been, and every time, it has touched their hearts so much.

In recent years, the situation in the USSR has not been rosy, and the economy has stagnated for several years. The grain harvest failed year after year, and even bread could not be sufficiently supplied in the shops of Moscow, and the Soviet Union could still survive by exporting oil. However, a war in Afghanistan held back the economic progress of the Soviet Union.

The USSR has reached the point where it must be reformed! It must be reformed like the country in the East, otherwise this great country will face all kinds of crises! Outside the ward, an old man who seemed to be in good spirits walked back and forth while contemplating in his heart.

"Secretary Andropov, I have your phone." Just as he was pondering, a voice came from his ear.

Before leaving, Andropov explained the whereabouts of his adjutant, a habit he had developed in the KGB, and now, hearing a phone call, Andropov followed the doctor to a confidential phone.

"Secretary Andropov, I am Akhromeyev, the Supreme Commander of Afghanistan, the Fourth Army has taken off more than 50 warplanes to enter Pakistani airspace, which will provoke a large-scale conflict, please stop it immediately!" Anxious words came from the phone.

The Fourth Army? At this time, what is the mess? One battlefield in Afghanistan has restrained all the energy of the Soviet Union, and if there is another war with Pakistan, the Soviet economy will be set back by decades!

"Okay, I got it." Andropov put down the phone and walked towards Defense Minister Marshal Ustinov, who was smoking a cigar on the other side of the corridor.

In the sky, there was a constant roar, and a large plane was flying smoothly.

At the top is a grinding disc, four large propeller engines are spinning, driving the fuselage forward, the fuselage of a large passenger plane, which was originally very spacious inside, is now all occupied by equipment one by one.

In a row of circular monitors, an early warning officer sits, his electronics emitting a huge amount of heat, and despite the air conditioning installed in the cabin, they are still drenched with sweat.

With their eyes glued to the screen, they kept guiding their fighters with their voices.

"Fifteen minutes later, we will make contact with Pakistani fighters, turn on the radar, and prepare to guide the R-23 missile."

"At nine o'clock, four Pakistani fighters appeared, with a height of 6,000."

"There are four Pakistani fighters on the ground, flying at low altitude, pay attention to visual search."

Each radar guide is guiding a squadron under his command, and the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching.

At the same time, Pakistan's air force fighters are also flying rapidly under the guidance of their own ground radars, some seizing the advantage in altitude and speed, while others are using low altitudes to prepare for a sneak attack.

When Soviet warplanes flew over Pakistani airspace, an air battle was inevitable.

"Or take back our fighters." "Avoiding a head-to-head confrontation with the Soviets, perhaps, we can resolve it diplomatically, is a compromise to avoid escalation," Musha'f said. ”

Musha'f is thinking about the overall strategy, if there is a conflict with the Soviets, once the war escalates, the Pakistani air force will be consumed of valuable strength, and India, which is eyeing the other side, will create border friction at any time, and then kill the situation, Pakistan will be attacked from both sides, and the situation will become very dangerous.

"Nope." "Now, we have to fight head-on!" ”

Now retreating and being caught up by the Soviets, it will be an even more fiasco, even if the strength is indeed inferior to the Soviets, there is only a fight!

Mhammad only hates that he can't fly, otherwise, he will also fly a Jian-6 and go up to beat the Soviets!

"If we back down now, the Soviets will only be more arrogant, and our Pakistani skies will be left to their wreak." Mhammad said: "Peace is fought!" ”

Peace is fought! This sentence immediately shocked Musha'af's heart, it is true! In the past, in order to avoid conflict with the Soviets, the Soviets crossed the border to investigate, and they only sent fighters to expel them, and the Soviets became more and more emboldened, but now, it has developed into cross-border bombing, completely ignoring the integrity of Pakistan's airspace, and if Pakistan continues to retreat, it will only make the Soviets more arrogant!

"Well, we'll fight for it! If Islamabad is to blame, I will bear the blame. Musha'f said.

This conflict, which was originally caused by the exchange of fire between Pakistan and the Soviets, will definitely come down to investigate when this incident passes, after all, Mhammad has just risen up, and he is not as high as Mushaaf in the army, so Musha'f is very protective to take responsibility.

"Commander, when the time comes, we will report back according to the truth and hold accountable, that is also mine, I don't care, it's a big deal to continue to go back to Afghanistan to fight guerrillas." "Actually, I prefer to be there," said Hammad nonchalantly. ”

Musha'f was speechless.

The air battle is changing rapidly, the Soviets this time dispatched the MiG-23 and MiG-21 fleet, with technical superiority, the MiG-23 is equipped with medium-range R-23 missiles, and the radar in front of the nose begins to scan the airspace in front of the aircraft, ready to guide the medium-range missiles under the wings.

And at this time, the J-6 aircraft group is also rapidly approaching, even in later generations, the interception rate of medium-range missiles cannot reach 100 percent, and the success rate of medium-range missiles in this era is even more pitiful, as long as you know the opponent's movements in advance and maneuver to get rid of them, those missiles are just flying monkeys.

Wait until the distance to the fight, the bulky MiG-23 is not necessarily the opponent of the J-6, for example, the MiG-23 needs to change the angle of the swept wing once, and it needs to make seven moves in a row, and the flexible J-6 is more advantageous.

The distance between the two sides continued to get closer, and the radar of the MiG-23 had begun to lock on to each other, and at the same time, the R-23 was equipped with the initial number of launches, and the backward on-board computer began to calculate at full power, and the missile would be launched in a few seconds.

"Stop attacking, stop attacking, and return immediately." At this moment, the heroic Soviet pilots in the sky heard a voice that made them extremely depressed.

The order was given by AWACS, and it was Moscow that gave the order.

The face of the commander of the Fourth Army was ugly, although at the beginning, he did not want to take the initiative to attack, he just wanted to dispatch a large number of fighters to frighten Pakistan from the momentum, let them know that it is not right to take the initiative to intercept, and the rules of the game must be observed, and the Soviet Union is just bombing the resistance elements in Afghanistan, and it has nothing to do with Pakistan.

The large group of planes flew around the western border of Pakistan and came back triumphantly, but he did not expect the Pakistan Air Force to react so quickly, and before his fighter plane arrived, the Pakistan Air Force had already come to intercept it.

At this time, of course, he could not disgrace the Fourth Army and the Soviet Air Force, and he had to make a tough posture, even at the cost of air combat.

It's a pity that Moscow came out to block it. (To be continued......)
