Chapter 15: The Battle of the Air and Sea

(ps: I recommend a new book "Those Years and Those Things", which is very good)

More than 80 fighters formed a huge group, and the black pressure in the air was like a dark cloud, which was extremely spectacular.

The commander-in-chief of this operation was the captain of the Su-30MKK who had the first air battle with the Japanese fighters, and when he saw that the aircraft group had reached the sea, he shouted over the radio: "Wolf pack tactics, start moving, attack freely, give priority to attacking the enemy's landing ships and supply ships." “

Hearing his order, the group of planes quickly dispersed, in order to prevent the enemy's radar from locking on and missile attacks, the group of planes dispersed into a large semicircle, flying close to the sea surface, in order to minimize the chance of being scanned by the enemy's radar.

Suddenly, the alarm in the captain's cabin flashed rapidly, and the captain immediately ordered: "The opponent's fire control radar has locked on us, and we are ready to meet the opponent's missile attack." “

Soon, dozens of bright spots appeared in the captain's radar, and it was the opponent's anti-aircraft missiles that began to intercept, and he decisively ordered: "Turn on the jammer and launch jamming bombs and bait bombs." “

The speed of all the fighters increased, and the sound of "bang bang bang" was endless, and sparks were launched in the belly of the fighters, like brilliant fireworks. That's jamming bombs, which can jam the missile's own locking radar, and some missiles quickly fly forward over the group, which is a bait bomb, which can simulate the signal of a fighter plane and induce missiles to attack them.

The number of aircraft groups is so huge that it far exceeds the limit of the air defense capability of the Japanese fleet, and one after another the anti-aircraft missiles either hit the bait bombs, or they were jammed by the jamming bombs and did not know where they flew. Only 5,6 unlucky planes were accidentally hit.

The group flew at supersonic speed, and in less than 4 minutes, the traces of the Japanese fleet were discovered, and they did not choose to retreat after losing their command ship, but tried in vain to continue their mission.

However, the drawbacks of losing unified command were immediately exposed at this time, and the ships were fighting separately and could not pose a decent threat to the aircraft group at all, and only 3 or 4 novice fighters crashed headlong into the trajectory of their anti-aircraft guns because of their poor technology.

When the three J-20Bs attacked the fleet, two of them were forced to escape, and one did not hesitate to launch a suicide attack. Although the air group in the sky is so dense, the air defense artillery below just can't hit it, they have lost their unified command, they have completely lost their cooperation, and they can't form a cross-attack at all, and they can't fight at multiple points and fight first-class air defense methods.

A JH-7 fighter-bomber first couldn't hold back the fighting spirit in his heart, and on the side of the fuselage, it dived down against the fleet, which was a typical way for Air Force fighters to warships during World War II, dive bombing. However, the dive bombing of fighter planes at that time was to accurately drop their suspended bombs on the battleship with the help of inertia and altitude reduction. The JH-7 dive bombardment, on the other hand, was to get as close to the battleship as possible and then drop the torpedo and let the torpedo hit the battleship in the fastest possible time.

He chose a supply ship, the only two heavy machine guns on the supply ship were frantically strafing the JH-7 fighter, but the speed of the plane was too fast, and the people's eyesight and hand cooperation could not keep up at all, seeing the fighter flying closer and closer, and two torpedoes were dropped, and the people on board were all desperate and ready to abandon the ship.

However, the pilot of the JH-7 seemed to be a little too greedy, he should have pulled up the nose of the plane after dropping two torpedoes, and the speed was right, but the temptation to successfully sink a supply ship was too great, and he understood that although two torpedoes could severely damage the supply ship, it was still a bit mysterious to sink it. But if it's three torpedoes, it's almost ironclad.

So, he pressed the launch button hard and dropped a torpedo again. But after a little struggle, the plane flew forward a few hundred meters, and now he was so close to the supply ship that the Heavy didn't need to adjust the angle too much to catch up with his flight trajectory. With a few muffled "bangs", the JH-7's fuselage shook violently, and then I saw a raging fire in its tail, and then the whole plane suddenly lost control, dragging a long black smoke towards the supply ship. The distance was so close that the pilot didn't even have time to make an emergency escape, and the plane rushed headlong into the supply ship, and in the huge explosion, the previously fired torpedo also collided, and the supply ship that had been hit hard in a row was almost blown into two parts.

Indeed, he succeeded in becoming the first person to sink a warship since the outbreak of the fighting, but the consequence was that he also lost his life.

The loud explosion sounded like a horn of attack, and all the fighters began to attack, and the fighters circled in the air, dodging the stray bullets in the sky, and took the time to fire air-to-ship missiles at the battleship that had already been locked.

The fighter-bombers lowered their altitude and dropped torpedoes one after another on the Japanese fleet.

The battle situation was extremely fierce, in order to enter the blind spot of the anti-aircraft missiles of the Japanese fleet to attack, all the fighters were directly exposed to the fire coverage of their anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and if they wanted to dodge, the threat was not too great. But once they attacked, they quickly suffered casualties.

Fighter planes dragged thick smoke down from the air, and warships suddenly burst into brilliant fire. The pilots of Huaxia were also stubborn, perhaps because of the hatred accumulated with the Japanese people for a hundred years, and none of the pilots of all the fighters chose to jump out of the cabin and escape after the fighters were hit. Except for those fighters that exploded in the air after being hit, almost every injured plane adjusted its posture and slammed into the nearest battleship.

The battle lasted for a total of one and a half hours, and when the last Japanese ** ship slowly sank, a young voice came out on the radio channel: "Mission accomplished, return." “

The original captain had been killed in the tragic battle just now, he was driving a wounded plane and crashed into a landing ship, and the current temporary commander was the original commander No. 4, and if the No. 1 commander died, the No. 2 commander would take over the command mission, and so on, and when he commanded, it meant that all the previous three commanders had unfortunately died.

When I came, there were more than 80 fighters, but when I went back, there were less than 50, and almost 3-4 fighters crashed to change the sinking of a warship. This is the gap between a newly formed, inexperienced air force and an elite navy.
