Chapter 708: The Great Formation Counterattacks

The sound of an imminent warning is not such a pleasant sound to the pilot.

However, the current Long Yun is completely deaf to this, and now he only has the dark gray "lightning" scattered and escaping in front of him, as for the missile threat behind him, let it go first!

Keeping his eyes firmly on the targets automatically identified by the fire control system, tracking the large number of F-35 fighters that were attacking from other directions, or rather harassing, Long Yun temporarily chose to ignore them completely, he took a deep breath, prepared for battle, and then suddenly began to carry out a violent lateral maneuver like a real X-8A "Yanlong", with a huge relative speed volley to pounce on these chubby "ball lightning" who were not choosing the right way.

Dive-and-pursue at a speed close to Mach 3, with a speed difference of more than 500 meters per second from the enemy plane, Long Yun's first wave of artillery attacks can be described as extremely furious.

With the structure of the F-35 "Lightning", how many 35-mm shells can it withstand?

In the high-speed pursuit, a "lightning" fighter with full afterburner and bright flame in the tail nozzle was firmly set into the aiming aura, and the answer to this question soon appeared in front of Long Yun's eyes: gently clicking the cannon button, there was a piercing roar of electromagnetic cannon fire in his ears, and two strings of shells flew away from the cannon chamber with a short "zizi" sound, and suddenly disappeared from sight, and the "lightning" that was still desperately escaping turned into fireworks in the air that exploded and caught fire in the next moment, and there was almost no chance to struggle, twisting and falling like a kite with a broken string.

In the sky, a light gray umbrella flower bloomed, and then the expected explosion of the mech.

The first visual air battle results were achieved cleanly. Long Yun added a lot of strength in his hand and used the vector thrust of the "Yanlong" to forcibly change the direction of the nose. Forced another "Lightning" in the direction of two o'clock into the aiming field of view; The moment before the aperture coincides with the target's red triangle and the finger touches the gun button. Glancing at the weapon mount display area, he only saw the "1184" ammunition stock of the aircraft gun, which made him feel a little surprised.

In this way, he only fired a total of sixteen shells from the aerial gun shooting just now, and he simply killed an F-35?

When both the pursuer and the pursued are flying at high speed and the target is still maneuvering and evading, even an air combat weapon such as an electromagnetic cannon cannot guarantee a high hit rate, so the unlucky "lightning" may only be hit by one or two shells and directly turn into a pile of scrap aluminum?

The consideration of the power of the cannon was only a moment. Long Yun, who captured the target, fired two cannons again, and the target in his field of vision suddenly pressed the slope and was about to enter the side to avoid before he opened fire, but he was still pierced by the cannonballs that swept through the air, and struggled to fly crookedly forward and down; This scene was seen by Long Yun, who was driving the "Yanlong" to chase at high speed, but in this short period of time, he was already able to catch up with this batch of F-35s that were scattered and fleeing, and the injured "Lightning" also ran to the direction of the landline at three o'clock.

The target on the 39th line could no longer be forcibly aimed at the "Yanlong" with an astonishing speed, but it was completely different from the previous two aerial confrontations, and Long Yun, who had completely entered the explosive state, did not hesitate at all. While pressing the lever to control the fighter plane into the circle, ready to turn around like an eagle and come back to continue to clean up these helpless "lightning", he quickly clicked on the display screen to the enemy plane that was injured and fell. Command the fire control system to engage in cheap, hurry up and solve this goal!

With the lightning-fast attack operation, only a milky white PL-15C was ejected from the magazine and ignited, and the "Lightning" that was injured and fell was now almost zero in maneuverability, and it became a live target in the air with a 100% hit rate for the PL-15C.

Aerial artillery assault, missiles to replenish guns, this style of attack is diametrically opposed to the fighter plane's attack sequence, but the power is even more than that.

In one raid, two targets were killed with aerial artillery, which is already quite good; However, thinking that there were still nearly a hundred enemy planes in the sky on a rampage, Long Yun's attack rhythm did not stop at all, anyway, he didn't plan to shoot down so many enemy planes, so he simply had a big electromagnetic cannon hunt!

With such a thought, and there was no stinginess for shells, the rapidly circling and transposing Long Yun landline quickly occupied the attack position, and for the second time, it swept behind the "Lightning" fleet that flew like a headless fly, and his old trick was repeated by picking up two planes at one time. As the "Yanlong's" raiding tactics of astonishing speed and even more astonishing efficiency were repeatedly staged in the sky reflected by the setting sun, more and more wreckage of fighters dragging black smoke down against the background of the blue sky, and the "Lightning" aircraft group, which was originally completely superior in numbers, was completely powerless to deal with it for a while, and there was also a one-sided one-way attrition situation in the battlefield shape.

Yes, that's a one-way attrition; In the face of the vertical and horizontal impact of the "Yanlong", although there are many "lightning" in the sky, they are really unable to cope with it in the case of fighting separately.

How can you fight against such a fast target?

This question seems simple and straightforward, but it is an almost unsolvable proposition for "Lightning", or almost all traditional fighters.

In the face of the indiscriminate slashing and slaughtering in the sky, dragging the blue-blue tail flame, the furious "Flame Dragon", relying on the abundant engine thrust to maintain an astonishing speed close to Mach 3, in the face of such a target, the head-on missile firing window has been incredibly narrow, simply beyond the limit of human control; And when it comes to chasing the tail of the aircraft, not only can the "ball light" itself catch up with the "Yanlong" who is killing on a large scale, but even the speed of the AIM-9X and AIM-120D is difficult to pursue, not to mention that even if it is barely tracked and successfully hit, the thick-skinned attack aircraft does not care about this attack at all.

However, since missiles cannot be counted on, the 25-millimeter cannon can always pose a certain threat to the "Yanlong"; The so-called "good tigers are also afraid of wolves", this kind of truth seems to be understood by the programmers of the simulator.

In the face of the fierce attack of the "Yanlong", the 100 F-35 "Lightning" virtualized SFM7560 simulator (of course, after the battle of Long Yun, only about 90 were left at this time) did not flee in all directions like a rabble, and let others slaughter them, although they lacked a unified campaign-level command system and could not adopt more complex large-scale tactical coordination, the "Lightnings" who formed a team to counterattack with their numerical superiority still began to contact each other in the air and reorganize the battle formation.

Soon, except for a small number of lone fighters who were still flying in the air and waiting for an opportunity to use missiles to sneak attack, most of the F-35s worked closely with friendly fighters in the nearby sky, preparing to use a dense fighter interception line and rely on the airborne GAU-12 25-mm rotary tube gun to meet the attackers head-on.

In the face of the "Yanlong" with strong armor and amazing mobility, the power of the shells of the rotary tube cannon is still a little insufficient, but now it is only that!

To deal with an enemy that is scarce in number but has unprecedented combat effectiveness, the simulator adjusts its response strategy very quickly.

Piloting the X-8A assault plane to slash and slash in the sky, mercilessly shooting down one enemy plane after another, Long Yun, who was completely immersed in the hearty battle, did not notice the opponent's tactical adjustment at first. However, in such a rhythm of battle, he soon found that there were fewer and fewer small fleets or lone fighters in the sky that were easy to solve, and the medium-sized aircraft groups prompted by the fire control system appeared one by one in front of him, what are these guys going to do?

Is it stimulated by the previous amazing loss, and is it going to use the idea of fighting back against yourself?

After a moment of thought, piloting the fighter plane to continue to rush under the sky, Long Yun quickly verified his guess; When he drove the "Yanlong" to once again rush head-on at about 14 or 5 "Lightning" in the sky, intending to tear the formation of these weak opponents in half with a fierce aerial artillery attack, the F-35s, who were formed in a dense formation and arranged in echelons, did not choose to escape.

Seeing that the killers in the sky were flying closer and closer, the "Lightning" kept in formation until Long Yun's plane approached, and then they each climbed and pulled up the nose of the plane, and began to use dense aerial artillery fire to carry out close-range fire confrontation.

The GAU-12 25 mm rotary tube gun, the firepower density of this weapon is already quite strong, and now the aerial guns on more than a dozen fighters are firing at the same time, although the dense trajectory of each aiming is inconsistent, but it just forms a scattered and dense artillery shell fire network; Looking at the past from the perspective of Long Yun's charge, I saw that the sky seemed to be as bright as a fireflower, and a slippery cannonball swept around the "Yanlong", Rao is he pulled the rod and pedaled the rudder, dodging left and right, but soon felt the violent tremor of the airframe and the warning issued by the airborne system, the landline was directly hit by several shells, and the body structure was slightly damaged!

Encountering an unprecedentedly dense aerial artillery sniping, Long Yun was surprised but did not delay the attack, perhaps because he was aroused by the dense air in the sky, almost thousands of shells, and his aerial artillery strafing this time was also particularly ferocious.

In the vast sky, the 35-millimeter armor-piercing bullets and high-explosive shells that screamed and tore through the air were gradually followed one by one, like a long whip with lightning sweeping across the "Lightning" fleet in the sky, and immediately two F-35s could not dodge and were hit by continuous bullets, and then the high-power and high-explosive warhead caused the body to self-detonate, and in an instant, it exploded into two dazzling huge fireballs in the sky!

Encountering each other on narrow roads and injuring each other, this time the air encounter was much more intense than the previous one-sided battle.

For the first time in this confrontation, the opponent was substantially injured by the landline, Long Yun climbed and circled while driving the plane to confirm the damage to the landline, fortunately, the defense of the thickly armored "Yanlong" was quite good, and only about ten rounds of 25 mm shells did not cause damage to the body.
