"With He Shaozuo's opinion, I deeply believe that Lucia is heading northeast, if the color is not clear today, it will definitely not be able to find the 'night heron'!

――Ariga, do you have any evidence for this? ”

“Hayi！ Your Excellency Lieutenant General, a lone Lucia,"

As soon as he heard Lieutenant General Ohashi's interrogation, he came to his senses, and the staff member with gold-rimmed glasses stood up straight and expressed his judgment, "There is no support force nearby, and the Mi military system has not reported the activity information of Lucia's aircraft, so it can be seen that this is a Trek plane, and there are so many 'flanks' who are dispatched alone!" At this time, the distance between the enemy and the enemy was still far away, and the 'Night Heron' only had to change its course to the southeast, which could completely avoid the Doppler tracking of Lucia's aircraft, and it would not hinder the interception of the 201st Flying Team, so it was really a desirable strategy. ”

"Yes, there is some truth to it."

As a senior officer of the Air Self-Defense Force, it was naturally impossible to be ignorant of the technical aspects, and several generals in dark blue uniforms quickly agreed and gave orders, and invisible radio waves sent this instruction to the forward command post, and then to the E-2C "Hawkeye" in the air, and then to the F-1 fighter fleet.

The pilot plane and his colleagues traveled through the night sky together, the two ASM-1s under the wings were not yet useful, and the third class air lieutenant Kosuke Okada, who received the order to return home, was puzzled, and the weak radar of the F-1 fighter had not yet found anything; However, there was only one order and no other explanation, and he had to radio the planes to turn around and prepare to return to Hakodate, where the 6th Flying Group was stationed.

Faced with a single Lucia "Flanker", and knowing that it might be a terrifying "fighter butcher", Shigeru Ohashi still took the risk and chose to let the F-1 fleet slip away from under the nose of the enemy. This is in addition to a gambling mentality that hopes for miracles. There are other considerations.

For the 6th Flying Squadron stationed at Hakodate Airport. Changing plans and heading to the Wakkanai base in the north was certainly able to avoid the lone enemy plane, but the Wakkanai base itself was very close to the Lucia coast and had been subject to frequent air raids in recent days; In addition, as a flying team carrying out anti-ship combat missions, the Wakkanai base could not guarantee the normal operation of these F-1 fighters, and delayed the dispatch of fighters when the war was in full swing. Obviously, it is also intolerable for JASDF.

However, for whatever reason, an order was given to cut off the F-1s' lives.

Just after receiving the order to change the flight route, they fled all the way to the southeast along the dark sea before dawn, and it was only more than 200 kilometers away from the Hakodate base in front.

The quiet atmosphere of the battlefield seems to be safe, but in fact it is just an illusion.

Just as six slender F-1 fighters were in a hurry to return home. The White No. 20 Su-27M2 fighter, whose trajectory was almost 90 degrees from it, also evaded the strikes of the two "Sparrow" Ms and began to approach this airspace.

Sukhoi fighters that accelerated to Mach 0.8. At this time, it was like a gray and white giant eagle roaring and surging at the sea, and the AIM-7M shot by two arrows had long since disappeared, and the F-15DJ in the air found that the first wave of interception failed, and turned on the afterburner to chase closely behind; Encountering two "Devonian Eagles" in the stealth and sensing the signs of a SARHM attack, Long Yun easily threw off the incoming missiles, but instead of taking advantage of the enemy planes at high altitude, he kept course and continued to sprint forward.

On such a cold night, there were no ships to be seen on the vast calm sea, and the White Twenty, which had not turned on the radar, had no way to find the target, but Long Yun's snooping of consciousness gave him an unexpected gain.

Just a minute or two ago, when the airborne radar alarm had just begun to chirp, the experienced Long Yun did not blindly keep an eye on the RWR and was busy dealing with the incoming radar-guided missiles, he drove the plane into a continuous side-turn maneuver on the horizontal plane, allowing the enemy plane's radar to briefly unlock, and at the same time used his superpowers to pay attention to the surrounding situation to avoid a sneak attack by JASDF.

Just scanned around for a while, to his surprise, in the originally empty large sea airspace, there were really several other targets flying in front of him at this time, although the sensed consciousness activity was very weak and seemed to be far away, Long Yun was still very alert and distracted in the side turn to recall the battle arrangement, he didn't remember that there would be other VVS and PVO fighters in this airspace, after all, the IFF problem in large-scale battles has always been a headache, since he wants to attack, then there will definitely be no friendly fighters in the nearby airspace.

If it is not a friendly army, it can only be an enemy, although it is not known how far it is and what the aircraft type is, but the prompt of the omnidirectional radar warning instrument is telling him that these targets, which are also at low altitude, have not yet noticed their own storage.

Isn't it a good chance to sneak up on you if it's not an ally, and you haven't realized it yet?

The "Didi" warning in his ears became more and more urgent, and the over-the-horizon missiles in the night sky must be close ahead, but Long Yun calmly scanned the front with the Su-27M2 nose IRST system, while thinking about the question of "whether to engage in battle".

According to the tactical principle of "anticipating the enemy and being lenient", of course, he also thought that those targets might be a trap for the Japanese, but the current situation is different, the JASDF fighters pursuing from the direction of five o'clock are still approaching, if this is really a trap, it is more reasonable that there should be no air self-control fighters nearby.

Yes, even if these guys like to gamble, the ambush soldiers should wait for the comer to take the bait before suddenly attacking, how can there be such a reason to chase all the way and chase the enemy in the direction of the bait?

In the cold sky over the Sea of Japan, there was little to interfere with the operation of the IRST, and with the help of the Sukhoi fighter's infrared scanning system, Long Yun quickly spotted several low-altitude targets directly ahead. For a time, the RWR was still "dripping", but the white 20 in the accelerated climb chose to turn a blind eye, and the huge fighter in the night sky was surrounded by a white fog, and soon broke through the sound barrier and accelerated to Mach 1.2, at a low altitude of more than 1,000 meters, this is an unattainable achievement after the original Su-27S is full of missiles, but it is not difficult to do the facelifted M2 type.

Accelerating all the way forward, giving full play to the thrust-to-weight ratio advantage of the car, and the resulting acceleration, the Su-27M2 that had only fired two missiles and a dazzling array of pylons soon became as fast as the pursuers behind them, and as expected, the two F-15DJ fighters lost their targets almost simultaneously.

The AN/APG-63 working in PD mode could not detect the Lucia aircraft in the same direction and at the same speed, which was actually a very common thing, but Yamashita Fengfumi and his wingman, who were in charge of the interception mission, were very nervous.

"Baka, - Lucia is nowhere to be seen!" Nine-four-zero', what is the current situation! ”

"Goal, target lost! End of report! ”

“Sonaaa…… Kuso！ The interception order must be completed, 'Nine-Four-Zero', you maintain the current state and standby, I immediately lower the altitude, set the electric detection mode, and be sure to catch Lucia in one fell swoop! ”

“――R、Ryoukai！”

The enemy aircraft suddenly disappeared, perhaps turning sideways, or the velocity vector was close to the plane, in which case the detection efficiency of using the pulse Doppler mode was very poor, and the F-15DJ commander numbered 941 immediately took action, further reducing the flight altitude according to the control of Yamashita Kongcao, and then tried to use the PS (Pulse_Scan, pulse search) mode that does not rely on the Doppler effect to track the low-altitude Lucia "flanker".

Faced with a low-altitude target flying in the same direction, lowering the altitude to try to intercept it was a common choice, but it inadvertently saved Yamashita Fumi's life.

Just after making up his mind and putting a push rod into a large-angle dive, sitting in the F-15DJ fighter plane in the reverse buckle state, the sky Cao under the mountain suddenly turned his head in astonishment, and in the black canopy outside the hatch, a flash of light suddenly appeared, and then a bright and dazzling fireball erupted, which was the approximate direction of the 940 plane, damn, his wingman was actually attacked at such a close distance!

Just now, he was still trying to pursue, but now he witnessed the moment when the wingman was shot, and a light in the night sky made Kong Cao's eyes stingle slightly, and he was also extremely surprised.

Damn, who attacked Tanaka's landline, just now the "headquarters" clearly reported the surrounding air situation-

Ah, stupid, stupid, it must be an anti-radiation-induced missile!

A message jumped into his mind, and the frightened Yamashita Socao's hands trembled slightly, after the temporary training before the war, and also saw the Lucia Army information provided by the Americans, he had guessed what kind of weapon would be attacking, and at the same time knew how lucky he was just now.

Yes, it was the R-27P anti-radiation air-to-air missile that Long Yun had previously launched that rushed to the F-15DJ wingman without warning and directly hit it.

Time back to two minutes ago, just after encountering the X-band irradiation signal and discovering that more than one enemy plane was locking onto him, Long Yun, who was not in a hurry to engage in battle, entered an evasive maneuver, but he did not intend to be beaten passively like this, and at the same time quickly completed the parameter setting and launch preparations, and fired a batch of two R-27P to shoot back.

To deal with the use of semi-active radar-guided missiles of the air fighter aircraft, the anti-radiation missile can be said to be tailor-made, in the process of engagement needs to keep the target irradiated, otherwise the missile will miss the target F-15DJ, in the R-27P seeker field of vision is as conspicuous as a big light bulb, and after the termination of this engagement process, Yamashita Fengwen's 941 is quite lucky to enter the reverse dive, by mistake to avoid the missile attack, the track unchanged 940 is directly unlucky, It was directly blown into a large torch by the sharp cross axe that flew in from the signal.
