Chapter 305: The First Wave of Counterattack
Two weeks later, somewhere in the south.
A Rainbow-9 drone mounted with the latest electronic warfare pod is slowly gliding, and on the runway adjacent to it, two J-20s are still ready to go.
According to the plan, the two J-20s will take off 15 minutes after the Rainbow-9 takes off, and then catch up with the Rainbow-9 with its speed advantage, and catch up with the Rainbow-9 at the end of the voyage to provide it with an hour's escort.
Yes, after almost a month of preparation, Huaxia's first counterattack in the field of electronic warfare is finally about to start.
In fact, in the course of a month, the harassment of Huaxia by the island countries has not stopped.
As Chen Nian expected, they were like dog skin plasters that could not be shaken off, always taking off at an unpredictable moment, completing 10 to 20 minutes of interference at a very fast speed, and then escaping before the Huaxia fighter on duty arrived.
If it weren't for the updated FRFT algorithm from the shore defense radar, it would have been possible for the side to have no way to do anything about them, but would have been completely disrupted by this sudden harassment.
Of course, even with FRFT, the impact of such interference on Huaxia is huge.
For a whole month, the Eastern Military Region was unable to carry out any large-scale training or exercise tasks, but needed to be vigilant at all times to prevent a certain "harassment" from turning into a real "offensive."
Everyone knows that this is a very low possibility, but who would dare to risk ignoring it?
The probability of the word "grievance" being mentioned within the military has risen sharply, but fortunately, such a day should be completely over today.
In the cockpit, Bai Chongkai, the pilot of J-20, was making the final test of the plane, and the voice of the ground crew kept coming from his headphones.
"Check the datalink link of the unmanned wingman."
"Roger, check the link. The link is normal. ”
"Check the loading of the Yujing 04 strategy."
"Roger. The strategy loads normally and is adjusted to auto-flight mode. ”
"The tower received. Check the working status of the electronic pod. ”
"Works fine, data transfer works, communication works."
"Understood, unmanned wingman 01 is ready to take off, keeping the data link linked."
"Keep the data link linked and start taking off automatically."
As Bai Chongkai's words fell, Rainbow-9 on the runway not far away immediately turned on afterburner.
Subsequently, with the blessing of the Yujing 04 system, the drone rushed into the sky at an extremely elegant angle without any human control.
Immediately afterward, the unmanned wingman slowly turned in the air and began to fly according to the flight target updated in the data link system.
After watching the Rainbow-9 go away, Bai Chongkai pressed the button, and the cockpit cover of the J-20 closed.
"The program self-test is complete, everything is normal, ready to take off."
As he spoke, the two J-20s aligned the runway, their engines were idling, and they were quietly waiting for the take-off time that had been set a long time ago.
"Lao Liu, are you ready?"
Bai Chongkai asked over the radio.
Another Jian's twenty miles, Liu Chuanwu calmly gave a thumbs up and replied:
"Ready, ready to take off."
"Nervous?"
Bai Chongkai continued to ask.
He is an experienced pilot himself, and in terms of qualifications, he is even better than Liu Chuanwu.
But after all, he has not experienced the so-called "real conflict" like Liu Chuanwu, so when it comes to carrying out this task, he is indeed not as "experienced" as Liu Chuanwu.
Hearing his question, Liu Chuanwu smiled softly and replied:
"What's there to be nervous about."
"Back then, when I drove the J-8, I dared to touch them, but now they are all driving the J-20, and there is no reason to coax them."
"Besides, they won't be able to catch us this time-—— Rainbow-9 has set up a self-destruct program, if the situation is really dangerous, we can just give up."
"I don't believe that anyone else can catch us on this sea."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Chongkai's vaguely beating nervousness just now was instantly swept away.
He suddenly realized his true situation:
Fly the world's most advanced fourth-generation aircraft, use the world's most advanced radar and weapons, and cover the world's most advanced electronic warfare drones.
There are so many "world's most advanced", if the task is not completed, then it is better to retire directly.
——
No, it should be said that such a task is actually no different from a spring outing.
Success is inevitable, and the only uncertainty is whether the optimal outcome can be achieved.
Thinking of this, Bai Chongkai's fingers clenching the joystick couldn't help but relax.
After waiting quietly for a few minutes, his headset came with a command from the tower to allow takeoff.
The engine turned on the afterburner, and the blue tongue of fire gushed out, and a moment later, the two J-20s disappeared into the sky.
The speed continued to increase, and after a 20-minute flight, Bai Chongkai and Liu Chuanwu caught up with the Rainbow-9, which had departed ahead of schedule.
"Refresh the datalink link to enter wingman sync mode."
Bai Chongkai reported his tactical movements, while Liu Chuanwu on the side kept the forward distance, using active radar to detect the target airspace and undertake early warning tasks.
It is not worried about its radar waves being intercepted, and with the blessing of the latest adaptive power control system and clutter-like function, even the most advanced ALR-94 passive radar warning device of the United States may not be able to recognize its own radar signal.
It can be said that even if the active radar is turned on, to a great extent, this J-20 is still a stealth killer in the air.
On Bai Chongkai's fighter side, the Rainbow-9 wingman has completed the data link update, Yujing 04 has entered synchronization mode, and the wingman command has been handed over to Bai Chongkai.
"40 nautical miles from the target airspace, ready to start execution."
"Roger, 40 nautical miles, countdown to 3 minutes to start."
"In 160 seconds, I turned off the active radar."
"Received, the active radar is turned off, the afterburner is turned off, and the circling begins."
The short three minutes passed quickly, and at this time, all three fighters had already flown into the combat airspace.
It is about 260 nautical miles from Kadena Air Base and is still out of range of the opposing shore defense radar.
From here, the Rainbow-09 will activate the electronic jamming pod, begin to receive and analyze the pulse signals of the opponent's shore defense radar, and after the on-board computer completes the analysis, formulate a targeted jamming strategy.
"The jamming pod is powered on, ready to be interfered with."
"Ready to implement interference, pulse characteristics are analyzed, the interference signal is injected, and the power is adjusted to the maximum."
"Understood, interfere with the implementation, and the mission is initiated."
On the other side, Kadena Air Base.
Leon sat comfortably in a recliner and drank a cold drink, his eyes slightly closed, not even glancing at the planes that were conducting routine take-off and landing training.
The assistant on the side reported to him the latest report on the situation in the Pacific Rim, but he didn't have the heart to listen to it.
The reason is simple, this is the last month he has been here.
The order has been issued, and starting next month, he will leave Kadena and return to the mainland to serve as commander-in-chief at an air base in Mississippi.
It was a fat -—— that air base, there were the most advanced F-22 fourth-generation aircraft in the United States, and there were also the best pilots in the United States.
As long as you don't die and survive two to three years, you will definitely be able to climb a few more steps.
For him, it was a happy ending.
Although there is some irony in this ending.
After all, he stayed in Kadena for a full 5 years, constantly trying various methods along the way, trying to establish a conspicuous "war exploit" for himself.
But each time, his actions ended in failure.
For a long time, he couldn't even tell whether his own side was too weak or his opponent was too strong.
This brought him to the point of despair – especially after the H-20 took off, and he realized that he could no longer confront the other side head-on, no matter how he looked.
So, he was depressed for a long time.
But sometimes, fate is so unpredictable.
Just when he thought that his life would stop here, just when he thought that he would never have a chance to take revenge on his opponent again, a technology from the local area completely changed his situation.
ARES Advanced Electronic Warfare System.
With this system, he successfully contained China's actions in the Pacific and bought time for his own strategy in Africa.
What's more, he cleverly removed himself from the incident, even if it was really exposed later, Huaxia would not be able to find a reason to confront him.
Such a clever strategy earned him a good reception in the corner tower and laid the foundation for his transfer.
The peaks and loops turn around, and it doesn't stop there.
Thinking of this, Leon sighed with satisfaction.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he interrupted the secretary's report and said:
"Don't tell me all this boring information, I've got everything going on."
"There is only one thing you need to do, and that is to keep an eye on those islanders, let them complete our task 100 percent, and absolutely no tricks are allowed in the execution process."
"If necessary, you can threaten them with stronger tactics."
"Don't hesitate, don't be merciful, you have to do it."
"After I'm gone, you'll be the head of this base, and you'll need to establish your authority."
Hearing his words, the assistant nodded solemnly and replied:
"I see what you mean."
"Don't worry, even after you're transferred, I'm still your most loyal companion, and if anything happens, I'll be"
"Woo woo woo -——"
However, before the assistant could finish his sentence, a rapid alarm interrupted the conversation between the two.
Leon jumped to his feet, his face full of disbelief.
"What's the situation? Air raid sirens? We were attacked? ”
He ignored the assistant on the side, immediately threw away the cup in his hand, and walked hurriedly towards the command room.
The assistant hurriedly followed, and at this time, the latest news came from his headphones.
His expression suddenly became solemn, and after listening for a moment, he spoke:
"Significant event! Our radar signal is blocked! ”
"What!?"
Leon was shocked, he kicked open the door of the command room, and said to the soldiers who were staring nervously at the screen inside:
"Now, immediately, report back to me!"
His voice trembled slightly, and in his heart he prayed incessantly:
Don't go wrong, don't make trouble when you're about to leave.
However, a word from the radar operator on duty for early warning directly shattered his illusions.
"Two minutes ago, our radars were all subjected to strong electromagnetic interference, and a minute ago, a large number of UFOs appeared on the radar screen."
"Preliminary judgment, we may be under attack!"
Hearing this, Leon subconsciously looked at the radar screen.
At this moment, the previously clean radar screen is full of noise, which is typical of radars subjected to strong electromagnetic interference!
What's more, among the noise, there are a few flickering points of light that are particularly special.
Judging from the data, it is very likely that it is a fighter flying at high speed!
The Chinese are coming?!
Are you kidding? How could they go on the offensive at such a time? ——
No, they do everything!
They have lost completely in Africa and in the near future face a serious threat of electronic warfare.
At this point in time, it's entirely possible that they will do something like a dog jumping off the wall!
Leon's heart pounded, and before he had time to think about it, he immediately ordered the entire base to be in a state of emergency.
With his order, in just a few minutes, most of the air superiority fighters in the base took off, the radars were turned on from their slumber, and the entire base began to operate with amazing efficiency, and the country's combat effectiveness was fully displayed at this moment.
"No matter what plane it is, be sure to find them!"
Leon said categorically, and then, he immediately contacted the corner tower and reported the situation of the base to the corner tower as quickly as possible.
The judgment of the other side was more radical than his, and even directly issued an order to allow fire outside the airspace.
——
However, at this critical moment, Leon finally maintained his last composure.
A thought popped into his mind:
What if, this is the means of electronic warfare of China?
What if they use a strategy that is exactly the same as their own?
You must not fire at will, even if the AWACS radar scans the opponent!
You must first understand the other party's intentions - even if you are slow to act, it is acceptable to be passive!
He didn't know if his last prudence had saved his life.
Just a few minutes later, the AWACS aircraft discovered the traces of the other party, but when their fighters got closer to observe, they found that the fighters locked by their own radars actually did not exist at all!
The anomalous signal on the radar is fake, they are indeed implementing electromagnetic interference!
Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he had made the right judgment.
Otherwise, in the current complex electromagnetic environment, their own pilots are likely to directly launch over-the-horizon strikes against unidentified air units due to miscalculation!
If that happens, it's a lot of fun.
Because it is possible, it is to beat yourself!
Leon thought for a moment, and then immediately ordered most of the active radars to be turned off, trying to avoid the risk of radar pulse signature exposure as quickly as possible.
However, at the very moment when his order was given, Command received an extremely bad message:
In the air, 160 nautical miles from the base, there were planes crashed.
Judging by the radar characteristics of the other side, it was an F-16.
Leon was stunned, and he quickly asked all the combat units to report the situation one by one, but under the premise of strong electromagnetic interference, even the advanced long-range command system he was proud of was almost completely ineffective.
It wasn't until half an hour later, until the radar interference completely disappeared, that he finally got the latest information.
The good news is that the plane that fell was not your own.
The bad news is that it's an island nation's plane!
The adversary's electronic jamming operations were not limited to the Kadena base, and they simultaneously launched electronic jamming against the base of the island nation.
And whether it is in terms of anti-jamming capability or tactical organization, the island countries are far inferior to their own.
Because of this, their psychological defenses were directly shattered in just a few minutes.
The fighter plane, which was urgently lifted into the air to meet the enemy, fell directly into the sea because of improper command and operation.
A few hours later, inside the embassy of the island nation.
The ambassador looked at the man opposite him with a smirk, and said:
"If you insist that this matter is related to us, then we hope that you can provide sufficient evidence."
"Do you have any proof?"
"I don't think so, right?"
