Command of the Liberation Army in Dar es Salaam.

"Cai Zhongxiao's side is very difficult right now, Ka. Kurtu has been urging him to let our troops in earlier, and now their troops have almost reached a limit, and now it is said that there are only more than a thousand troops that can be assembled. Kurtu can't support it. Zheng Quan pointed to the intelligence on the big screen and said. The rapidly changing battlefield overwhelmed the front-line command in Dar es Salaam, and soon after detecting that the Lu-Ukrainian coalition forces had stopped retreating, the command received a request for help from Cai Zhongxiao.

"Judging by our drone reconnaissance intelligence, Ka. It is true that there are not many troops in Kurtu now, and it is easy to form a total collapse in such a situation," Zheng Quan continued, "but we rush to dispatch ground troops before the air threat is lifted, which may bring heavy casualties to the troops." ”

Of course, Song Jihong knew what Zheng Quan was talking about, whether the Jibu Battalion chose the ferry or used the chariot's own floating ability to float, it had to go through a long process of water transportation, starting from Kigoma to the nearest dock on the opposite bank was at least 50 kilometers, judging from the pontoon, with the 13 km/h floating speed of the Type 09 tank equipped by the Jibu Battalion, it would take at least more than 4 hours to reach the opposite bank, during this time, once the enemy dispatched the air force to strike, the Jibu Battalion had almost no self-protection ability.

Therefore, Song Jihong did not dare to take this huge risk before settling air supremacy. However, after the US F-15 fighter plane took off, it no longer moved forward when it entered Burundian airspace soon after, but circled and waited for an opportunity, with them eyeing each other, several F-16 fighters of the Ugandan people shuttled back and forth over Baraka, of course, this time they all learned to be obedient, knowing that it is safer to be above 6,000 meters.

Pair cards. Kurtu said that when the Ugandans flew over Baraka, they almost did not give the order to retreat, and the cluster bombs dropped by the fighters were so powerful. Kurtu's color changed when he heard this, but Cai Zhongxiao stopped the card. Kurtu's impulse told him that the air force of the People's Liberation Army was coming, in fact, the first batch had already arrived on the other side, but Cai Zhongxiao did not dare to say to Kurtu, for fear that this would cause misunderstanding, and now the main force of the air force has not arrived, and the 10 J-10Cs that took off in advance are under the watchful eye of more than 20 F-15E/F, and they do not dare to cross the border to strike at the Ugandan fighters.

However, the only good news is that the Ugandan warplanes did not carry cluster bombs, but mainly air-to-air missiles, after all, their original target was the PLA's destroyer drones.

When the second batch of the main fighters of the PLA J-10C approached Kigoma 100 kilometers, the long-range early warning planes of the US military finally discovered this group of fighters of the PLA and began to sound a sharp warning sound.

U.S. Army Command in Nairobi.

"General, we found a large number of PLA J-10C fighters, which are now less than 100 kilometers from Kigoma." The staff officer in charge of intelligence received the information from the AWACS aircraft and hurriedly reported it to Lieutenant General Reilly.

"How many PLA fighters are there?" Lieutenant General Reilly's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, originally saw that the PLA J-10C did not dare to move forward when it arrived in Kigoma. Ziland's speculation is very admirable, the PLA really did not dare to act rashly under the deterrence of the F-15 squadron, and did not expect that the PLA seemed to have a tendency to deviate from the established performance script.

"There are more than 20 of them, and the PLA Air Force fighters stationed in Tanzania have poured out." The intelligence staff officer replied.

Dumped so quickly? Lieutenant General Reilly's heart jumped, "How long will it take for our F-35 squadron to arrive?" Lieutenant General Reilly asked.

"It will take about 25 minutes," replied the intelligence staff officer, "but after such a long flight distance, they will have to refuel in the air before they can enter combat condition." "Even with the auxiliary fuel tank, the F-35 has a cruising radius of just over 2,000 kilometers, and the distance from the Saudi airbase to Kenya is a little more than 2,000 kilometers.

Although the F-35 flew from twice the distance of the J-10C, the time taken was not much different, about 20 minutes more. The F-35, which has supersonic cruise capability, is indeed much better than the J-10C in terms of maneuverability.

"I'm afraid it's too late to use air refueling, so I ordered them to use half of the air refueling and half to land at the air base near Nairobi for ground refueling." Lieutenant General Reilly ordered. Now that the PLA's J-10C is within operational distance of the F-15 squadron, Lieutenant General Reilly must race against time to make the F-35 operational capability as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the PLA's air force takes the initiative to attack unusually, then it will be very difficult to clean things up.

"Old Song, the main force of our air force has reached Kigoma, is it not for a large group to launch an attack and knock out the F-16s of the Ugandans?" Zheng Quan saw that all the fighters of our army had arrived in Kigoma on the big screen, and turned his head to Song Jihong and said, "Let the 2nd and 3rd Brigades monitor the movements of the US F-15 on the side, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"Okay, order a large group to attack immediately and shoot down the Ugandan's F-16 as soon as possible." Song Jihong looked at the situation map of the enemy on the big screen, the US army is still only a squadron of F-15, with two groups of J-10C fighters staring at the side, the US F-15 squadron is not to be afraid.

After receiving the order from the headquarters, a large group turned on the fire control radar and, under the guidance of the land-based radar, went straight to the Ugandan Air Force F-16 fighters hovering over Baraka, although the Ugandans had the US early warning aircraft to prompt the attack information, but after all, it was not integrated with the radar system of the US early warning aircraft, so after receiving the warning information, they did not have time to react, and the PLA J-10C fighters had already launched more than 20 Thunderbolt-10 air-to-air missiles.

The J-10C theater joint combat tactical system, under the dual guidance of fire control radar and land-based radar, attacked with the saturation of 2-3 missiles, and set off an extremely beautiful fireworks at one time on the F-16 fighters of the Ugandan Air Force, which the Ugandan people never dreamed of, the PLA Air Force said to fight, and when the F-16 fighter radar just detected the J-10C, the PLA launched an over-the-horizon attack, which made the Ugandan pilots, who were already undertrained, completely overwhelmed. It is only known that the fighter is blindly pulled up to evade maneuvering, but these natural reactions have long been known by the theater joint combat tactical system.

As a result, the Ugandan's F-16 fighter jet was shot down cleanly in the first round.

Although he had long been mentally prepared for the strength of the PLA Air Force, the solution to such an impressive result of the Air Force still made Lieutenant General Reilly, who was far away in the Nairobi command headquarters, feel a pound in his heart, this result was somewhat unexpected to him, according to Lieutenant General Reilly's estimate, it is not difficult for his F-15 squadron to defeat these F-16 fighters of the Ugandans, but to kill the PLA like this, Lieutenant General Reilly admits that this is almost wishful thinking.

The sharpness of the PLA Air Force's offensive was completely beyond Lieutenant General Reilly's imagination.
