Chapter 674 674 Air Raid on Indonesia

Since the establishment of the Nanyang Republic, its military strength has not been weak, and in the Asian region, the military strength of the Nanyang Republic is actually comparable to that of Japan, and it is much stronger than Japan in terms of air force and army. In recent years, Nanyang has purchased a large number of advanced weapons from China to expand its national defense force. In the early days, the Nanyang Air Force had only more than 100 FC-1 Thunder fighters, 40 Mirage 3000 fighters, and a certain number of Flying Leopard fighter-bombers as the main air force. However, with the development, especially after Nanyang entered a high-income developed country, the foundation of the Nanyang Defense Force Air Force has also become thicker.

The Republic of Nanyang is a participating country in the JAMTF program, after the J-31 enters active service, the Nanyang Air Force will begin to receive a large number of J-31 fighters, the fifth-generation fighter Falcon will be used as the main model to replace the FC-1 and Mirage 3000 in the future, the Republic of Nanyang has taken over more than 300 Falcon fighters, and as the war progresses, they will be equipped with more.

In order to enhance its wartime production capacity, AVIC has also opened several aviation manufacturing enterprises in Borneo and the Malay Peninsula, which also enables Nanyang to also have the ability to produce fighter jets, and the military manufacturing capacity of China, Nanyang, the Far East, Siberia, Kazakhstan and other countries will definitely not lose to them, even if it cannot overwhelm the United States and Europe combined.

In addition to the fourth-generation fighters that it had before, the Air Force of the Nanyang Republic also has more than 700 fighters, which can be called a fairly powerful air force, even if it is now Britain, France, Germany and other countries, they did not have such a large number of fighters at the beginning of the war.

After the US fighter planes were stationed at the airport in Java, Indonesia, Nanyang immediately launched an attack on Indonesia, and the two sides did not have any diplomatic relations anyway, and belonged to the outright enemy country. Although the Chinese air force and navy are mainly stationed in Papua New Guinea, other SCO member states have sent their own air forces to fight alongside the Nanyang air force.

The Far East Air Force, the Kazakh Air Force, the Tajikistan Air Force, and the Kyrgyz Air Force have sent a total of more than 200 fighters to the South Seas, but in addition to the Far East Air Force, the air forces of the three Central Asian countries all need to carry out certain adaptation training, because they are not familiar with the tropical climate, sea and air conditions, etc., so they need to conduct targeted exercises. The J-16 and J-31 are the main aircraft used by these former Soviet member states, the former can be used as a strike fighter, and the latter can play an important role in the process of seizing air supremacy.

In order to enhance its own strike capability, the Nanyang Defense Force Air Force has communicated with China and produced more than 600 J-9 fighters and JH-7 Flying Leopard fighters and bombers that China has mothballed. Nanyang also trained a group of pilots in a targeted manner very early, so it is not a big problem to accept this batch of Chinese second-hand phones. In addition, a local aviation manufacturing enterprise built in Nanyang has also undertaken a production line for the production of backfire, and the Nanyang Air Force will receive locally produced backfire bombers in an orderly manner to expand the firepower and range of strikes.

The South Seas air raid on Indonesia was carried out in the early hours of the morning, and for this air attack, the SCO coalition forces flew more than 500 sorties to strike at major air force facilities in Indonesia. Due to Indonesia's economic strength plummeting after being dismembered, coupled with the conflict with Malaysia in Lampung Province for many years, Indonesia does not have much money to repair the airport and buy new fighters, which also makes the US military encounter a lot of trouble after arriving in Indonesia, and even has to be paid by the United States to improve these conditions. And the US fighter planes also had to be concentrated in the limited airports with slightly better conditions, as for the reinforced underground hangars, don't think about such things, and even the Americans had to park some fighters on the runway, because Indonesia simply does not have so many hangars to accommodate the American and Australian fighters who rushed to station.

Indonesia also lacks air defense warning radars and related reconnaissance facilities, and the US military also has a way to deal with it, and the US military has brought in a large number of E-3 watchtower early warning aircraft to protect the US military in Java around the clock to prevent a sneak attack by the SCO. As soon as the SCO coalition group approached, it was detected by the US E-3 early warning planes, and the US and Australian fighters immediately took off in an emergency to intercept the SCO fighters who were coming for air attacks.

"Turtledove 3-3, the target of the attack has been designated, the US E-3 watchtower early warning aircraft, azimuth XXX, YYY." Similarly, to carry out an attack of this scale, the SCO coalition fleet also has its own AWACS aircraft, this AWACS aircraft is also from China's second-hand Air Police-2000, the Chinese Air Force is now equipped with a higher model of the Air Police-3000, and the older AWACS aircraft are sold to their allies.

Piloting the J-31 Falcon is an aviation and defense student from the University of Malaya, named Lim Chi Kit. Lin Zhijie, who was only 23 years old, originally waited until he graduated with a master's degree to officially join the Nanyang Defense Force, but the outbreak of the war made them, who had received more than 100 hours of flight training in schools and barracks, directly become full-fledged air force pilots.

Lin Zhijie felt that he was sweating in his flight helmet, although he had played the simulation cabin countless times, and had also simulated actual combat in the air with excellent pilots in Nanyang and China, but he was still nervous for the first time to participate in actual combat. Because he is very talented in flying and has an excellent appearance, Lin Zhijie was directly assigned to the J-31 fighter that only skilled pilots can fly, which shows the importance that his superiors value him. Now he just wants to live up to the expectations placed on him by others, show his ability, and shoot down enemy planes.

Silently reading all the entries in the combat manual, Lin Zhijie went through the specific operation process in his mind, the fighter he was piloting was within the long-range missile attack range, and the E-3 early warning radar could not fully capture him, which was also his best opportunity to attack.

The PL-14 long-range air-to-air missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers fixed the coordinates of the enemy plane, and although Lin Zhijie's plane did not find the enemy, the Air Police-2000 flying near here had a clear grasp of the enemy's traces. All Lin Zhijie needed to do was to automatically transfer the attack coordinates to his own weapon system, and then launch the missile.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Zhijie silently said: "You can do it, you have to be the ace in the Air Force!" Immediately, he pressed the launch button of the missile, and the long-range missile flew out in response to the sound and flew towards the US early warning plane.

For early warning aircraft, if there is no anti-stealth radar installed, the fifth-generation aircraft can be their most difficult nightmare to get rid of, especially the Chinese fifth-generation aircraft such as the J-31 piloted by Lin Zhijie, have integrated a new generation of air-to-air missiles, and even have a long-range air-to-air missile with a range of 200 kilometers, and the effective detection distance of these stealth fighters is about 60 kilometers, and obviously this distance is enough for the J-31 and other Chinese fifth-generation aircraft to shoot more than two rounds of missiles.

Lin Zhijie launched two PL-14 missiles in succession, and the missiles first carried out inertial flight and flew towards the enemy plane, even if the enemy plane made a relatively large flight transfer, so that these missiles lost their attack position, they could also directly receive the quadratic coordinate assembly from the early warning aircraft, and then use their own active radar to guide them at the end. The ability to achieve secondary target fixing is still due to the cloud combat system, which directly improves the information processing capability of the fighter in the group operation, and also provides the possibility of such an intelligent attack.

The Nanyang Air Force has always followed the pace of the Chinese Air Force, so after the Chinese Air Force fully used the cloud combat system, the Nanyang Air Force also replaced it with a new combat system, which greatly increased its combat effectiveness.

The US military's early warning aircraft did not perceive the danger coming, until the two PL-14 entered the active guidance, its alarm beeped, this US military watchtower early warning aircraft turned on the ECM electronic interference, while trying to evade missiles by maneuvering, but China's new generation of air-to-air missiles is not so easy to be fooled, neither electromagnetic interference nor mobile evasion can avoid these two missiles, the two PL-14 all hit, directly the most important eyes and brains of the US military on the battlefield to knock down.

Of course, the US military is not only carrying out this early warning aircraft, there are still two on the battlefield, but they are also targeted by other SCO fighters. In the end, another US early warning plane was shot down by the J-31 Falcon Eagle, and the other plane was more fortunate enough to escape and immediately retreated to a place where its own fighters could shelter.

Subsequently, the first large-scale air battle that broke out in the Asia-Pacific theater officially began, and compared with the Chinese Air Force's elite combat strength, even the strongest Nanyang Air Force was slightly inferior, especially some relatively new pilots like Lin Zhijie in the Nanyang Air Force, who were a little struggling in the battle with the US and Australian forces. However, it still occupies a numerical advantage and a weapon advantage, although the coordination is a little worse, but the US military was able to go back and forth with the SCO coalition fighters for a few rounds at the beginning, but the later the SCO coalition forces became familiar with the situation, the SCO coalition forces gained a certain advantage.

In particular, the US and Australian fighters are still dominated by F-15, F-16, and F-18, while a considerable part of the escort fighters of the SCO coalition are already fifth-generation fighters J-31. When the US fighters were no longer able to hold the air force front, a large number of J-9 and Flying Leopard fighters broke into Indonesia's airspace and bombed several important Indonesian airports.

Some US military planes parked in the airport also suffered some losses in this air raid, and the air raid did not last long, and the US military suffered a lot of losses, but the SCO coalition forces also suffered certain losses, and NATO's Asia-Pacific Theater Command believed that it was the lack of fighter force investment that led to this failure, so a larger scale of fighters is preparing to enter Indonesia.
