The missile flew quickly, but it failed to kill the "Devon Eagle" on the outside, and in the white No. 20, which jumped away along the attack route, Long Yun, who tilted his head and looked at it, was also a little surprised.

The expected fireball did not appear, and his guess, like that of his opponent, was that there was something wrong with the R-73M's proximity fuse.

In the intense and fierce battle, the reliability of missile weapons has never been expected too high, and the experienced Long Yun certainly did not bother about this, and he accelerated sharply without hesitation, leaving the F-15J long plane that had just changed out of the circle and trying to pursue far behind, and seized the reaction gap of the JASDF wingman to continue to try to occupy a position.

Fighting under the night sky is a serious challenge for the average pilot, even if the eastern sky is now slightly lit up and the line of sight is no longer completely dark.

In the face of the superior number of Self-Defense Force fighters, the ordinary choice of a single Su-27 may be to speed up the war, and then rely on the radar again to find the enemy, using the mounted over-the-horizon missiles to continue to play with the opponent throwing guns, the big deal is to use the advantage of internal oil to tow away these two "Devon Eagles", but at this moment the white No. 20 is controlled by a super ace, in Long Yun's dictionary, I am afraid it is difficult to find the line "active disengagement".

While speeding up the pursuit, the tail flame of the "Devon Eagle" in Long Yun's vision suddenly brightened, and this guy was obviously desperately trying to escape.

In the face of the accelerated escape of the F-15J, the altitude is about 3,000 meters, and the tail pursuit range of the R-73M is out of reach for a moment and a half, but fortunately, the weapon load of the White 20 is very abundant, Long Yun seized the short time when the JASDF long plane turned back, and mobilized the N011 radar in single-pulse mode to lock the "Devon Eagle" and indicate the target orientation for the two R-77s at the middle hardpoint under the wings.

With fast and precise operation. After hearing the "ding-" sound of the self-guided head completing the interception. He immediately fired two active radar-guided missiles one after the other. Then a large overload side turned south.

Afterburner drove into a horizontal turn, Long Yun's action was very simple, but it made the chasing F-15J long plane pounce.

As the fighter engine roared and entered a sharp overload side turn, an AIM-9L, which barely followed the "flanker" action, dragged a thin white smoke all the way, but still failed to fly out of enough overload G-value, and the slender javelin, which was soon exhausted, had no choice but to fall crookedly.

At the same time as the plane was flying to avoid the "Sidewinder", the two R-77s that were directly aimed at were successfully evaded by the air pilots, and the No. 944 aircraft in the air spilled a large piece of interfering chaff and made a sideways turn with the right timing. Escape from a missile attack.

At this time, the entire sky dome on the ocean was already slightly brightened, and launching an attack without any gain, Hiroyoshi Nishizawa was very worried about the situation of the wingman, but he did not dare to call Saburo Sakai directly.

Voice calls may distract him, which can be very deadly in electric fighting.

But, looking at this guy's place, I'm afraid it will be terrible if I don't warn him!

The plane drove all the way to catch up, flying out of Mach 1.3 at a high speed of more than 3,000 meters, but Nishizawa Hiroshi clearly couldn't catch up with the Lucia plane with a dazzling tail flame in front. He peeked ahead with the help of the first glimmer of dawn and found that the distance between Sakai's landline and the "flanker" was already a little close. After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, the call wingman immediately pulled up, and with the help of the F-15J's good thrust-to-weight ratio, he shook off the threat of the "sickle".

Damn, he actually drove a plane to chase and kill Sakai, this guy wants to fight with the "eagle" for acceleration ability?

Seeing that the wingman was passive, and his side couldn't catch up for a while, Hiroshi Nishizawa, who was about to launch the "Sidewinder" with a flip switch, called out in the channel, and then saw the No. 944 aircraft in front of him enter the large angle of attack to climb, and the small red dots on the wings were faintly visible.

If you compete in vertical mobility, Midi's F-15 fighter is sure to win!

Nishizawa's broad judgment, although far from the reality, is also a natural presumption.

As far as the performance of the fighters of the two armies is concerned, and the F-15J/DJ of the early model of the Mi Army F-15C/D uses the same engine, that is, the F100-IHI-100, the thrust-to-weight ratio is higher than that of Lucia's "Flanker", especially now that he and Sakai landlines have used interception mounts, and there is not much oil in the tank, and it should be easy to get rid of the pursuit of the "sickle", even if it can't, it is always possible to climb and break away at a high angle of attack.

With such an idea, he urged the landline to accelerate forward and hit the gray-white "flanker" in his line of sight with full afterburner, but then Nishizawa Hiroyoshi saw a scene that surprised him, the Lucia plane, which was only three or four kilometers away from the distance in front, accelerated away from the original route as soon as it was pulled up, and the speed of the climb was simply beyond his expectations.

The first thought that popped into his mind was "Bakana", and Captain Nishizawa couldn't help but exclaim, he knew that the Sakai machine was in danger now, and that Lucia plane was just, it was too fast!

The rate of climb is basically determined by the thrust-to-weight ratio of the fighter, and the performance number that is difficult to take advantage of, the "Devon Eagle" that challenged the Su-27M2 suffered a complete defeat.

Su-27M2, there are currently only two in the parallel world, and the facelifted Su-27, which was originally hopeless for mass production under the world war, is now used as a secret weapon by Viktor Rezenov, because of the resemblance to the original Su-27S, even if the comrades of the Red Air Force see it in the air, most of them will not recognize it, and the JASDF and the Americans who are facing each other across the sea do not know the existence of such an improved fighter.

The M2 fighter, which was born from the Su-27S, with the unremitting efforts of Sergei Koneshev, the chief project engineer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, has greatly improved its flight performance and combat capabilities compared with the prototype.

In terms of the thrust-to-weight ratio of picking up yards, the Su-27M2 has reduced its weight by more than 1.5 tons compared with the Su-27S, and the aerodynamic drag in the sub- and transonic sections has also been optimized, and then the wing load has also been reduced; Coupled with the AL-31F-M2 engine specially provided by the "Saturn" complex, the afterburner thrust of the two engines has increased by four tons compared with the AL-31F, and now the white No. 20 piloted by Long Yun has no problem surpassing the F-15J with an engine thrust of only 10.6 tons.

The thrust-to-weight ratio is superior, and the aerodynamic advantage of the Su-27 series aircraft can play a role in the climb at a high angle of attack, and the climb rate naturally surpasses that of the "Devon Eagle" without pressure.

At this moment, seeing the gray-white giant bird in front of him flapping its wings and flying high, the climbing process was extremely light, and the "flanker" suddenly pulled up in the dawn sky made Nishizawa Hiroshi stunned for a while; What he saw in front of him was completely beyond his existing understanding, but for a while he could not understand the mystery at all.

Seeing that the wingman in front of him was in a critical situation, he exclaimed on the radio and pushed the throttle valve to accelerate the landline and climb wildly; However, considering the reliability of the engine of the F-15J fighter, he is not as afraid to fly as unscrupulously as Saburo Sakai, and this time he naturally can't catch up with the "flanker" with full afterburner. Seeing that a pursuit battle had turned into a simple and brutal speed race, Captain Nishizawa was furious, but only then did he think that he could also fire, and immediately switched to the single-pulse mode, locked on the Lucia, and fired out the two AIM-7Ms mounted on the fuselage in one go.

Hmph, it's okay to accelerate the climb, now shoot two "sparrow" M in the back, and see where the Red Party is going!

After a burst of afterburner behind Lucia's "Flanker", but it was clear that he could not catch up with the powerful Su-27M2, Hiroshi Nishizawa, who was at a disadvantage in height, was still sober-minded, and he immediately thought of launching an attack with a semi-active radar-guided AIM-7M missile, so he was not worried about accidentally injuring Sakai.

The button was pressed, and after a short delay, a gray-white "Sparrow" M quickly appeared in sight with thick smoke.

Set to launch two "sparrows", the air captain waited quietly for two or three seconds, but the landline had no next movement, but the indicator light on the dashboard began to flash, which made him irritable when he saw it.

Damn, at this critical moment, a missile was actually disabled!

The two AIM-7Ms mounted on the 945 F-15J inlet ridge, the left one has been launched, but the right one is still on the half-buried pylon, which is not uncommon in ordinary training, and it is even more difficult to avoid a hasty situation in wartime, but it makes Nishizawa Hiroshi feel a little chill.

Like many of his colleagues in JASDF, the air captain was also a little superstitious, and when he saw a lone "sparrow" dragging a cigarette away, he suddenly had a premonition that this missile was probably going to miss the target and not hit the terrible "sickle".

The F-15J, which had accelerated to Mach 1 by one, could only follow the "Flanker" and eat ashes, but the white No. 20 in front of it seemed to be a divine help, and only about 20 seconds after the air fighter launched the missile and when the "Sparrow" approached did it enter a group of smooth and free transonic barrel rolls.

Compared with the prototype Su-27S, the facelifted M2 has eliminated the overload limit in the transonic range, and in the face of the AIM-7M with proportional guidance rate, Long Yun easily threw the lone throwing gun aside.

In the face of continuous barrel rolling, predicting the drastic change of the trajectory of the target, the "Sparrow", who had been barely pursued all the way and had a worrying speed, finally couldn't support it and entered a stall, and an upside-down onion fell, this scene was not clearly witnessed by Hiroshi Nishizawa, who was pursuing from afar, but he still quickly found that Lucia was unscathed, and the air lieutenant with a calm personality couldn't help but feel anxious and waved his fist viciously in the cockpit.
