Chapter 221 221 Interception

The British pilots were not mistaken, the four Thunders that had advanced forward were planning to make such a forced landing on the large military aircraft of the Royal Air Force. Hunter and Victory, who lost the protection of the wind, looked extremely helpless after being surrounded by four Thunder Dragons.

A silver-gray painted Thunder flew next to the fan and began to swing its fuselage arrogantly, like the left and right swings of an ice skatter, which is a very typical interception technique, meaning "follow me". As for where to go with me, there is no doubt that it is Nanjie's own air base.

The huge and bulky anti-submarine patrol plane did not give in even under such pressure, and seemed to pretend not to see the signal of the Thunder, and still flew in the direction of Diego Garcia.

Finding that the other party was obsessed, the dragons took more drastic actions.

A Thunder Dragon flew in front of the Hunter and was estimated to block the Hunter's flight direction, which was obviously a very dangerous and radical move, and it was even more daring. The Thunder is no more than a light fighter of more than 10 tons, but behind it is a large anti-submarine patrol plane of nearly 90 tons. But both sides of the collision will definitely be in trouble, and the captain of the fan hunting fan does not dare to try such a powerful move as the collision, so he can only steer to avoid the Thunder Dragon on the flying surface.

The show of domineering small fighters was not over yet, and at this time they resorted to even more frightening maneuvers, which are impossible to accomplish in the vast majority of aircraft.

A Thunder Dragon chased a Hunter anti-submarine aircraft from behind, its flight altitude was relatively low for Hunter, and the fuselage was at most about ten meters away from Hunter, and it was still consciously slowly lowering its altitude. This move is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, and the airflow of the aircraft during flight is easily destroyed by such movements, and the aircraft is very likely to lose control after the lift is disturbed. And it's almost impossible not to bump into each other at such a close distance.

The pilot of the hunting fan could not see the dangerous movements of his opponent, and could only let his allies tell him what was happening, and at this time he did not even dare to take the initiative to reduce the altitude, for fear that if one accidentally collided with this Thunder, both sides would be destroyed.

The Thunder Dragon naturally didn't do it just to play with the Hunting Fans, just when everyone was nervous, the tail vent of this Thunder Dragon suddenly bent at an unexpected angle and sprayed downward, and what was even more vicious was that this Thunder Dragon instantly turned on its afterburner, and after the air was burned by the engine's combustion chamber, it was launched from the tail vent facing backwards and downwards. At such a close distance, the scorching wake mercilessly rushed into the back fuselage of the Hunter, and the Thunder Dragon used this thrust to fly up from the Hunter's back, out of the dangerous distance.

The moment it was sprayed by the scorching wake, the hunter began to sway in the air like a boxer who had been punched, and it was almost difficult to maintain a flying attitude, maybe a few more seconds, and the fuselage would be broken by the heat of thousands of degrees.

No one could have imagined that the pilots of the Southern Liberation could use such crazy means.

And the pilots of the Southern Liberation Army, who had no tendency to give up, shouted to several British planes through the public channel: "This time it's the back, and the next time maybe it's the wing." Give up the resistance and follow us! ”

This dangerous move was also seen by the wind behind him, and the wind, who was still biting his tail, lost his mind when he saw his allies being bullied like this, and wanted to save his companions. A high-speed chasing wind immediately fired a cannon shell at a Thunder Dragon, this time the fire was more sudden, so that the Thunder Dragon had no time to react, although he tried his best to dodge, he was still hit by the aircraft gun in the fuselage.

Fortunately, although damaged, the injury was not serious, and after a period of turbulence, the pilot controlled his flight attitude and did not crash or explode.

"I'm damaged, request to withdraw from the battle and return home!"

"Request approval, please be careful!"

Now that the fire was fired, what little margin was left was destroyed, and the dragons immediately went into battle shirtless and began to take revenge on these British troops who had no eyesight.

After the firing wind just now, he knew that the enemy would definitely counter it, and immediately made a sharp landing, wanting to get rid of the pursuers behind. However, the highly skilled Thunder pilot could not give him such an opportunity, and when he pressed the launch button on the joystick, two PL-8s came out.

Originally, the short-range air-to-air missile for export was the Thunderbolt-9, but Qi Yiming, as an arms dealer, knew very well that the PL-8 equipped for the PLA Air Force and the PL-9 for export were two eras of the world. Although PL-8 was also stronger than PL-9 in the original timeline, the gap was not too big. However, there are many differences between the two types of missiles produced in the base.

The export PL-9 is roughly at the level of the American-made AIM-9S (the export version of the US AIM-9M), with a range of 16 km, which is 2 km weaker than the AIM-9S, but the advantage is that the top speed is 3. Mach 5, the maximum G number can reach 40G, and its anti-jamming ability is better than the AIM-9S, which deliberately weakens the infrared anti-countermeasure and anti-jamming capabilities.

However, the PL-8 has reached a level close to the AIM-9X of the US military in later generations, with excellent target finding and anti-jamming capabilities, and has excellent omnidirectional attack capabilities, making this missile not as popular as the PL-12 in the world, but it is still a sharp weapon in air combat.

The PL-9 is not bad, but Qi Yiming likes to be foolproof, so he pairs the Thunder Dragon and Flying Leopard of Nanjie with his own PL-8.

After the PL-8 was launched, it quickly settled, and its maneuverability could almost make the pilots of this era drop their eyes out, even if the wind made a roll after a sharp landing, but he only rolled twice, and the terrible Thunderbolt missile had already followed him, directly hitting the engine and fuselage of this tempest.

The violent explosion instantly caused the pilot to lose his mind and fall unconscious in the cabin, so under the eyes of his comrades, he dragged black smoke down from a height of nearly 10,000 meters.

The other Tornado pilot knew that he was coming to an end, and his only companion who could provide a little help had already been shot down, and he didn't even have time to eject. Although the opponent has already broken away from the attack sequence, there are still seven more that are eyeing him. In the spirit of fighting to shoot down a plane, the wind aimed its nose at a Thunder dragon that was enveloping its own military plane in front of it, and shot two AIM-9Ls directly.

In addition to immediately releasing the hot decoy bomb and making a maneuver, the awake SPF pilot actually used the British army's own military aircraft as cover, and the two combat bombs did not find the target, and they were dizzy and confused by the hot decoy bombs, and finally ran out of fuel and fell.

Finding that the opponent didn't open his eyes and wanted to resist senselessly, the two Thunder Dragons behind him shot PL-8 missiles at this wind one after another. There is still a distance compared to the wind to fight the dragon, and the two daring dragons are less than a kilometer behind the wind buttocks, biting to death, after the missile is fired at this distance, the wind does not even have the time to maneuver and release heat decoys, and is directly hit by several missiles and exploded in the air.

After completely losing their escort fighters, the three British military planes knew that they had only two options, either they were shot down by the enemy or captured by the enemy. Although they had already informed Diego Garcia Base of the encounter with enemy planes before the engagement, Diego Garcia Base now only has a dozen F-4s, and it is difficult to fly here with short legs, and there are two Tempests, even if they arrive, it is useless to face so many enemy planes.

At this moment, even the commanders in the rear regretted their sloppiness, and they did not expect that the Southern Liberation Army would be so combat-effective, and the scale of the fighters would be even larger.

In desperation, the two anti-submarine planes asked for instructions from the rear, and Diego Garcia finally reluctantly agreed to their surrender and follow the Yugoliberation fighters to land at the local airport. However, they repeatedly demanded that before landing, all the equipment and confidential information on board must be destroyed, so as not to be used as an intelligence advantage by the Yugoslav Liberation Army.

The Victory tanker received similar instructions, but the captain of the tanker was noticeably more violent.

"The soldiers of the British Empire have no right to choose to surrender!" Although the emphasis on individual life is mainstream in Western culture, there are naturally people who die for glory.

Even if the tanker did not have any means of attack, the captain did not intend to follow the Thunders back to the airport in Malaya. He chose a more dangerous solution. Ignoring the obstruction of the Thunder Dragon fighters, the huge tanker plane swooped down at great speed, which also shocked several pilots of the Southern Liberation Army.

"Oh no, this guy is planning to make a crash landing on the sea!" One of the pilots reacted immediately.

The Royal Navy is still some time away, and even if the forced landing is successful, it will be difficult for these RAF soldiers to be rescued by their men, and the only hope is that it is relatively close to Sumatra and can escape to Indonesia in lifeboats.

The captain of the flying group sneered and said, "What if they make a successful forced landing, they rush down and break them with the cannon, and they won't survive." ”

That being said, there are still some moral problems with the military aircraft after the forced landing. Several Thunderbolts didn't give the tanker a chance, and they also swooped down, and several fighting bullets hit the tanker. Because the belly was filled with aviation fuel, it naturally produced a larger explosion after being hit. However, the crew reacted relatively quickly, and after discovering that the Thunder Dragon had launched a missile, they quickly ejected, so several umbrella flowers appeared in the air.

It's just that their doom is not over, the violent tanker exploded, the fragments of the burning plane scattered in all directions, and the parachutes of several ejected pilots were immediately set on fire, and it didn't take long to burn out and go straight into the sea. It seems that only two people were lucky, the ejection was farther, and they were not affected, so they escaped a life.

The captain sighed and said, "Call the people from the navy to come and collect these people, do they think that they can escape the fate of being captured by parachuting?" ”

Seeing the miserable fate of the friendly forces, the two anti-submarine planes were silent, and they could only honestly follow back to the air base of the Southern Liberation Army.
