Controlling the rapid climb of the fighter, Long Yun soon came to an altitude of about eight thousand meters.

In order to deal with the imminent threat of NATO fighters, although the fuel was running out, he still chose to climb and accumulate a certain altitude, preparing to carry out a rapid volley attack after determining the direction of the enemy, so that the opponent would retreat in difficulty, and this was also the only feasible plan for them to get out of the predicament at present.

As the fighter climbed with its head held high, switching the N001 Radar VS mode to quickly scan a large area of airspace in the east and south directions, Long Yun unsurprisingly found that more than a group of enemy planes were attacking from different heights. Since the current situation of fuel and ammunition did not allow him to fall into a protracted aerial melee, Long Yun first considered for a moment and chose to fly towards a group of high-speed targets approaching in the southwest direction.

This choice was made on the one hand because this group of targets was the closest to the White 19 wingman and the most threatening, and on the other hand, the number of targets that the radar could distinguish was only two, which would be a little easier to deal with than a large group of fighters on the east side.

Looking at the situation on the radar, a group of heavy fighters is coming?

Just when the fighter plane turned to meet the enemy, the target information on the display screen was observed, the altitude was about 7,000 meters, and the speed was maintained at Mach 1.2; Seeing that the opponent was obviously putting on a posture of volleying and fighting, Long Yun's first feeling was that it should be two F-14D "Super Cats" or F-15C "Eagles".

Quickly making a rough guess about the aircraft type, worried that the opponent would use the AIM-120B to launch an over-the-horizon attack, Long Yun used the radio to warn Dzerzhinsky to turn away from the airspace where the battle was about to break out. While nervously paying attention to the scene on the horizon; As for the tips of the RWR alarm system. Sometimes it's not 100% reliable. When it comes to the line of life and death, veteran pilots sometimes prefer to believe in their keen eyes.

As the distance between the two sides continued to approach, Long Yun first circled at high altitude with a rod to maintain the fighter plane's state in the air, he used the precious time before engaging the enemy to explore the boundless sky behind him, at least to find out how far away the enemy plane was from him, he didn't want to be attacked from behind when approaching the enemy plane.

After a short scan, it was determined that the direction of six o'clock was temporarily safe, and he immediately returned to his original route to the enemy. Rushing towards the NATO fighter jets in the distant sky that were speeding up and chasing the wingman of the White Nineteen. At an altitude of 8,000 meters, the Mach speed of about 0.8 is close to the opponent, the target echo on the radar is becoming clearer, and the chirp of the RWR warning is also changing, it is clear that this group of twin planes has not given up paying attention to themselves while chasing the wingman; In the face of the oncoming radar irradiation signal, Long Yun carefully looked at the RWR light plate, he felt that this was not like the typical interception tactics of the Americans, and looking at it like this, did they still plan to divide their forces to meet the enemy?

As the enemy and the enemy continued to approach, and worried about the strict restrictions on fuel, Long Yun did not rashly turn on the afterburner, and now the fuel in the Su-27S is only enough to support full afterburner for about a minute. Then he had to try to fly a glider with terrible performance. With some caution approaching the enemy plane, he was still hesitant to try to shoot down the opponent. After all, on the one hand, he does not have enough fighting ammunition now, and on the other hand, he does not have enough fuel, if he is facing two "Tomcats" or "Attack Eagles", is this matter very troublesome?

However, with the appearance of incoming missiles in the sky, Long Yun's train of thought immediately changed.

Piloting the fighter plane to rush forward quickly, while paying attention to the enemy aircraft that was already faintly visible, I saw a few black dots in the sky that gradually appeared and became larger, but the RWR warning still did not have a special prompt; After experiencing the baptism of the last few violent air battles, Long Yun almost forgot what was coming at first, but since there was no W-band irradiation prompt, wouldn't there be only an old acquaintance "sparrow" left?

"Sparrow"?

Yes, it should be a sparrow!

Seeing the missiles in the field of vision winding in, and immediately carrying out the corresponding sideways maneuvering in his hands, Long Yun was nervously calculating at this time, why didn't these guys who flew F-14 or F-15 use "Slammer"?

Could it be that they rushed to meet the enemy and didn't have time to mount it, while thinking about it, they skillfully entered the high-strength maneuver, and then used a large overload side turn to shake off these intimidating throwing guns that did not pose any threat, and the Su-27S, which abolished the opponent's first batch of over-the-horizon attacks, continued to charge forward with their heads held high; At this time, the two NATO fighters in the sky had also climbed up, and the warring parties, who were very close to each other, immediately entered a visual air battle.

Long Yun, who was controlling the fighter plane and the enemy plane to pass head-on, and by the way dodged a series of inaccurate aerial artillery strafing, Long Yun, who was about to enter the circle, suddenly widened his eyes, and the fighter in front of him seemed a little strange!

The stubby, spread wings, and most importantly only a hanging tail are clearly not a "tomcat" or an "eagle"!

Between the two sides of the enemy, with his extraordinary eyesight, he could only vaguely see the paint and low visibility marks on the fuselage, Long Yun, who encountered this kind of fighter for the first time, was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized that these should be two "Tempests" from the British Air Force.

"Tempest"?

Is the "Tornado" ADV?

So, it wasn't the "sparrow" that flew over just now, but the "sky flash" of the British?

Suddenly reacted to who his opponent was, I don't know where a wave of ignorant karmic fire suddenly rose, maybe it was the repeated vicious battles that completely awakened the inexplicable killing intent in Long Yun's heart, he immediately pushed forward the throttle valve into the spiral climb, and when the two chubby "Hurricane" had just completed a 180-degree turn, he put the long machine in front of him into the aura of activity on the flat display, and he steadily swooped down to approach these two planes, apparently driven by a rookie (nonsense, which old bird would take the initiative to fight the Su-27 with a "Tempest" dog, You have to do it when you get kicked in the head by a donkey! The variable swept wing interceptor did not pull the trigger until it entered the optimal firing distance of the GSH-30 gun.

With a tongue of fire flashing from the muzzle of the cannon, a string of shells suddenly whipped on the back of the "Hurricane" long plane, and the British fighter plane that was directly blown away and hung down and caught fire in an instant rolled and retreated in the line of sight.

Angry at your opponent's bold challenge?

Or is he already red-eyed and just wants to crush these weak opponents quickly?

Now Long Yun has no way of knowing, and he doesn't need to think about it, he didn't stop for a moment with a rod to turn sharply in the opposite direction, and after enduring a few seconds of black vision, he caught the completely overwhelmed "Hurricane" wingman, this guy didn't apply oil to the soles of his feet for the first time after seeing the long plane turn into a burning stick, is this a kind of bravery, or a kind of stupidity?

Who knows, let's go to hell and find a long machine to discuss it slowly!

With a burst of violent thoughts that came from nowhere, his eyes stared at the target of Ping Xianli's futile struggle, Long Yun's teeth clenched and pulled the button——

Nothing happened, the cannon seemed to be jammed!

Just as he was about to harvest another trembling life, he suddenly encountered a malfunction that he had never had before, and Long Yun continued to pull the trigger, but he never saw the beating light of a tracer bullet in his sight.

And just as he tried to fire in a rage, perhaps breaking free from the shock of the blow, the "Tornado" wingman finally gave up any attempt at engagement, apparently turning on the afterburner and intending to run away. Seeing the brighter and brighter twin tail spouts in his field of vision, Long Yun gritted his teeth and endured it, but still suppressed the urge to directly use the R-73M to explode chrysanthemums, now that the aircraft cannon can no longer be used, he can't even use this last means of attack lightly.

After this fierce aerial battle, it was only a minute from the head-on encounter between the two sides to now, and the threat of the NATO fighter closest to the wingman was solved.

During the flight across the strait from the interior of Turkey to the Balkans, he kept cruising at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters while trying to remind his wingman to maintain speed, but at this time he could no longer connect with the lieutenant colonel; I don't know what the situation of the White 19 piloted by Dzerzhinsky is, but he does not dare to lightly lower the altitude and risk being attacked by the "Hawk" missile to blindly search for the traces of the wingman, so he can only return directly according to the pre-formulated battle plan.

In the game of peek-a-boo against surface-to-air missiles, the less extremely dangerous things the better, not to mention that his White No. 20 fuel is very limited and can no longer use any afterburner, so it is better not to provoke missiles when the ability to maneuver sustainably is insufficient.

Thinking of this, considering the possible pursuers behind him, Long Yun piloted the landline to turn to the direction of the Sea of Marmara to fly, while paying attention to the sky behind him and the radar signal, but fortunately, nothing was found.

According to the overall battle plan drawn up in advance, in order to allow the returning Victor twin aircraft to pass through the well-defended airspace near Constantinople and land at the nearest airfield, the theater command specially set aside a narrow air corridor for him; Now, according to the prompts of the navigation system, he piloted the fighter plane from the clouds to approach the Turkish Strait, and after meeting up with the two Red Air Force MiG-23MLD fighters who came to confirm friend or foe, he hurriedly talked to the friendly fighter through the guò airborne radio:

"Friendly call, can I contact the command center now?"

"Yes, what are the instructions?"

Out of secrecy, the pilots who flew the MiGs did not call any specific code names, but their tone was obviously very respectful, or rather very adoring, for the ace major general they greeted.

After receiving permission for the transfer, Long Yun gave a brief explanation of Dzerzhinsky's situation, and at the same time he asked the theater command organization to immediately coordinate the operation and act according to the set of plans set up to save him, and to rescue the brave lieutenant colonel of the aviation force.
