Chapter 1190: A Rainbow on the Edge of the Sky

"'Rainbow_One' (Rainbow One), 'Rainbow_One', confirm that the air situation is refreshed, the target is in the direction of one o'clock, the height is six thousand, and the interception will be carried out according to the predetermined plan, over!"

"'Rainbow_One' received a notification of, uh, 'Rainbow_Six', 'flare', another group of targets approaching at 10 o'clock, pay attention to monitoring the movement of the incoming enemy;

"'Rainbow_Six' received, the batch target ......

Suspected 'fencer', 'Flare' instructed us to ignore it for the time being, friendly fighters have rushed to 256X airspace to deal with it,"

Sitting in the F-15D fighter with the number 274, hearing the two "Eagles" in front of him with afterburner on, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Myers, the battlefield commander of the "Rainbow" Squadron of the 35th Wing, moved his throat slightly, and reminded the "Rainbow_One", his response sounded confident, in fact, at this time, his feelings were the same as his comrades, in addition to the excitement of the battle, there was also some irrepressible tension in his mind:

"Don't be in love, George!

If you encounter an unfavorable shape, you will decisively break away and finish. ”

Ordered his subordinates to be cautious in response to the battle, and not to blindly entangle with the opponent, the 35th Fighter Wing, which is responsible for the defense of the Hanshin and Kyoto city circles, several F-15 fighters of the "Rainbow" Squadron have just dispatched from the Gifu base and accelerated to the predetermined sea area to support a wave of friendly fighters who had previously reported the enemy situation and then suffered heavy losses.

After an emergency liftoff. According to the analysis of the air situation information sent by the "flare". Lieutenant Colonel Myers cautiously ordered a group of twin aircraft to intercept a lone Russian target. The remaining three "Eagles" stayed near the coastline with their No. 274 and watched out for a group of Russian attack planes not far away, although this deployment was to carry out the orders of their superiors and form a tight fighter interception line with their colleagues from the Seventh Air Force stationed in South Korea, on the other hand, the reason for not wanting to mention it was that "there was a backhand", and the lieutenant colonel hardly believed that the two F-15Cs could complete the interception mission, because ......

Because Viktor Rezenov, the horror of the "White Death". It is believed to be in the sky ahead!

The 35th Fighter Wing of the Fifth Air Force, a US overseas powerhouse equipped with F-15 "Hawk" series fighters, withdrew south from Aomori Misawa Air Base to the central part of Honshu Island to assume the heavy responsibility of air defense in the huge metropolitan area.

However, in the face of the overwhelming sea of Russian aircraft, even if the combat exchange ratio is temporarily superior, blindly organizing interceptions near the coastline cannot guarantee the safety of the Japanese archipelago, and the "eagles" of the wing can only go deep into the airspace over the ocean to carry out combat missions, and hand over the defense responsibility over the land to the old F-4EJ of JASDF to deal with it.

The front row of F-15C/D withstands. There are "mud basin ghosts" hovering over the land, which is certainly understandable in terms of tactical arrangements. After all, in the previous stage, the spearhead of the Russian attack was mainly aimed at the front line of Hokkaido, including the terrifying "Grim Reaper" who was killing in the northern sky, and the terrifying deeds of shooting down ten small JASDF fighters in the morning have already made all NATO fighters on the islands blow up their scalps, including the American pilots who have always been full of confidence.

If the power of the "White Reaper" was really a distant legend before, then after witnessing the defeat of the Air Self-Defense Force, the Yankees, who usually look down on JASDF, could not help but restrain their usual arrogance and began to seriously consider a problem.

How much higher is the combat power of their own side than that of the Japanese, and can the "Crazy Ivan" that the little devil can't withstand, and the U.S. Airforce painted with blue circles and white stars?

This question, before everyone can think about it clearly, the cruel reality will soon give an answer.

Long Yun, who returned to the Far East by train, got off at Khabarovsk station in the early hours of the morning, and returned to the field base by helicopter, did not have a moment to rest, and set out in the morning of the same day in the White No. 20 Su-27M2, and flew to the waters of the southern part of Japan, where the two sides were facing each other, to participate in the battle in accordance with the previously formulated combat plan and the latest requirements of the headquarters.

In the two or three days that left the 239th Regiment to attend a meeting in Irkutsk, the comrades-in-arms of the 239th Fighter Aviation Regiment under Long Yun were not idle for a moment.

In the absence of the number one ace for the time being, they still flew planes in the direction of Hokkaido, and Korolev and others not only achieved several successes one after another, but also confused the enemy in front of them, and for a time made the Americans and JASDF completely confused, and did not know that the "Grim Reaper" was actually not in the air.

In addition, some time ago, the two MiG-29N low-detectable fighters transferred from the direction of the Caucasus also officially joined the 239 regiment combat sequence.

Su-27M, Su-27M2, MiG-29N, plus an M2 that flew to IAPO and will soon be overhauled, the 239th fighter aviation regiment in charge of Long Yun is equipped with so many different models at once, and the tasks it carries out are also full of personality, and it has simply become an aviation test unit.

Of course, for the MiG-29N, which was in the limelight at the previous stage, Long Yun, who was busy taking off to kill the enemy, had no intention of using it for the time being.

After suffering a big loss in the Caucasus and losing two E-3A/B "watchtowers" one after another, the cunning Americans were simply distressed, fearing the threat of N-type MiGs, and the US Air Force and Navy have always been very cautious in deploying early warning aircraft in the rear far away from the battle line in follow-up combat operations, even if it is necessary to increase the frequency of rotation and the detection range will shrink for this purpose, they have never dared to deploy the early warning aircraft in the front line.

The E-3A/B early warning plane, which has a detection distance of more than 500 kilometers for high-altitude targets, can probably withdraw to 2,300 kilometers behind the fighter interception line if it really wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

For such a target, the MiG-29N, which was born with short legs, is very difficult to sneak attack, although it is not completely impossible, but it is too dangerous to take the first rank of the "watchtower" under the protection of a large number of US fighter planes, and in the Far East, where the current shape is not too urgent, Long Yun naturally will not take risks lightly.

So he chose to attack in the M2, but the combat principle changed from "annihilating the enemy" to "disrupting the situation of the war".

Counting from a big killing ring before dawn, Viktor left the front line and went to Irkutsk, but the sea and air battle in the Far East continued, and the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force suffered a strong squeeze from VVS in a row, and when Long Yun returned to the front line, this strong force in the Far East sky was about to be wiped out, at least in Hokkaido, there were signs of collapse, and the fighters with little red plaster in the sky were almost gone.

Located in the core area of Japan in the middle of Honshu Island, Long Yun's goal today is this area, of course, before he can really rush into the enemy line and disrupt the entire air battle, he must first penetrate the air defense line of the US Fifth Air Force.

In this matter, it is not difficult for Long Yun, who is driving the Su-27M2, to go it alone.

But now, driving the plane to the interception line of the US fighter jets in the south, Long Yun, who did not have a heroic penchant, did not hold it up, but drove the white No. 20 and acted with the Su-27M controlled by two comrades.

As the three fighters went all the way south, the long-range warning radars deployed along the coastline continued to provide high-altitude air information through the guò GCI network, and as for the enemy planes at low altitudes, the Sukhoi fleet flying at an altitude of more than 7,000 meters could almost completely ignore them -- if the enemy planes lurking at low altitudes wanted to attack, the air-to-air missiles that could fire thousands of meters from sea level and pose an undiminished threat could not be saved, and if the enemy planes entered the climb, the Longyun landline planes that kept the radar silent might not be visible. The two Su-27Ms that swept behind the formation would soon find the traces of the opponent, and then alert the lieutenant general to comrade with a one-way chain of numbers.

Xiaobie's first sortie a few days later, before setting off, Long Yun, who was the commander of the 239th regiment, also issued an order to let the other two Su-27Ms in the regiment cover the "stealth MiG" to attack, trying to sneak attack the JASDF "Hawkeye" hovering over Hokkaido, this task is not low.

However, at present, the Far East Theater Command is considering attacking Honshu Island with the tactics of a central breakthrough, and the struggle for air supremacy between the two sides has become more and more intense in recent days, and the deep waters in the southern part of Japan have almost become a bottomless pit devouring fighters and personnel.

The white No. 20 landline plane that rose into the air in broad daylight to attack, the air information on the display screen will be refreshed every 30 seconds, and the number of enemy planes in the airspace in front of him is really a lot, after checking the coordinates of the aircraft, Long Yun turned on the N011 radar, and while pushing the throttle valve forward, the M2 aircraft full of missiles quickly roared and broke through the sound barrier, and rushed towards the enemy plane from a height of 7,000 meters.

The afterburner was fully opened and the thunderous roar in the air spread in all directions, and the distance between the white No. 20, which received the enemy at supersonic speed, and the two Su-27Ms behind it quickly widened, and it also suddenly entered the line of sight of the fighters of the "rainbow" squadron.
