Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke Chapter 85 Fight for the first place
During the day, the C011th Battalion of the Navy Air Force was always at the Yushu Air Force Base:
Although Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing were anxious and knew that the battle ahead was very fierce, they did not get any combat missions. However, when the 11th Regiment did not receive the combat order, the 2nd mood became much calmer. Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing were still the Republic's number one ace of air combat, leading three results before Mei Lechi, who ranked second.
In terms of anxiety, Meilei is far better than Liang Guoxiang.
If it weren't for HNA's participation in the war, Liang Guoxiang killed 8 enemy aircraft in an air battle, and Mei Lechi was still the number one air combat ace. What's more terrible is that Colonel Wu Qi, who was originally ranked fourth, shot down at least three U.S. Navy f/a-18f fighter jets in the air battle on the morning of the 27th. His record exceeded that of Colonel Yanghao, who became the No. 3 air combat ace, was only 2 fewer than Mei Lechi!
Although Wu Qi did not achieve independent results in the afternoon air battle, Mei Lechi's position was still under great threat.
Pilots like Mei Lechi do not care about what the war looks like. They care about their own results. They cannot think that Mei Lechi is an incompetent pilot, after all, everyone has selfish intentions. From another perspective, competing with results is the best way to motivate pilots.
We waited until the evening before the combat mission reached the 11th Regiment.
Because HNA did its best to supplement fighter jets and pilots for the C011th brigade, nine j-14bs were dispatched on the morning of the 27th to restore the combat effectiveness of the C011th brigade to normal (24). Therefore, when assigning combat missions, Jia Baoguo did not favor the air-control fighter brigade of the 11th Regiment and assigned the "most important" task to the C011th brigade.
At 19 o'clock, Liang Guoxiang took the lead in flying the j-14b fighter.
"The tower calls the flying dragon."
"Flying Dragon received it!" Di Boqing was very excited.
"Turn into air guidance. Navigation information is provided by the dragon cave."
"Understand the command of the dragon cave." Di Boqing quickly adjusted the communication channel. "Flying Dragon 1 calls the dragon cave. Feilong 0011 calls the dragon cave..."
"Dragon's Cave is received. Flying Dragon 0011 please note that the new heading is 220. The navigation data is being transmitted."
After navigation data appeared on the screen on the left, Di Boqing said: "The navigation data has been received."
"Switch to the data link communication state. Pay attention to the information on the battlefield of the new ground at any time."
"I understand, I'm switching to the data link communication state." Di Boqing quickly completed the operation and adjusted the communication channel again. "Please pay attention to the formation, activate the tactical data link, and receive navigation information."
Liang Guoxiang, sitting in the front row, did not interfere with Di Boqing's work.
According to the tasks assigned by Jia Baoguo, the 1st Battalion was responsible for "forward escort" and blocked all enemy planes flying north to the south of the Deji Islands.
Liang Guoxiang was very surprised when he received this mission.
The Deji Islands are located in the south of Ganghwa Bay and the north is the bay west of Seoul, and there are no targets for strikes. The Air Force arranged for "forward escort" to cover important fighter jets behind. Before boarding, Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing discussed it. Both of them believed that the Air Force would send strategic bombers to strike important military targets in Seoul. The task of the 1st Battalion was to cover the flanks of the bombers, and there must be a brigade operating in the east of Seoul.
"Brother Liang, have you seen the tactical information?"
Liang Guoxiang frowned and looked at the screen on the left. When he saw the battlefield information displayed on it, Liang Guoxiang suddenly widened his eyes.
There are several icons representing naval battleships on the screen, and they are marked as amphibious battleships!
The US amphibious fleet entered Jianghua Bay?
"Brother Liang..."
"See!" Liang Guoxiang took a long breath, "Damn, the Air Force is preparing to kill the US amphibious fleet. No wonder Jia Baoguo asked us to clear the way forward."
"I just said that Jia Baoguo is not that kind." Di Boqing sneered, "What should I do now?"
"What else can I do?" Liang Guoxiang thought quickly and said, "Contact Situ Rui, Squadron 2 turns west and keeps an 80 kilometers distance from Squadron 1."
“Progress cover?”
"It's both cover and ambush."
Di Boqing didn't say anything more, and immediately contacted Situ Rui of the 2nd Squadron and conveyed the team leader's tactical orders.
Like the Air Force, HNA losses are difficult to replenish.
After several air battles, only 11 units remained in the 24 units of the C011th Brigade. In order to try its best to exert the ability of the "old bird", all veteran pilots served as grassroots commanders. Di Wenxiao, formerly partnered with Liang Guoxiang, was sent to serve as the captain of the 1st Squadron.
According to actual combat situation, Liang Guoxiang made adjustments to the combat organization of the C011th Brigade.
When performing air-optimal missions, the traditional 3-aircraft formation becomes a 2-aircraft formation. The main reason is that the air combat performance of f-22a and j--4b is almost the same. After the early air combat, the US Air Force suffered huge losses. Many "old birds" were either killed or captured. It is difficult for the additional "rookies" to exert the performance of f-22.
12j--4b leaves the fleet and turns to fly southwest.
Liang Guoxiang glanced at the navigation data on the left screen and found that there were less than 2 minutes left to start the active electromagnetic interference device.
Two minutes later, the group had just arrived at the mouth of the Yalu River.
This information shows that the patrol area of the US early warning aircraft has moved nearly 1 kilometer northward.
"Is there any new battlefield information?"
“Not received yet.”
"Check the tactical information of other troops."
Di Boqing
Use another set of tactical data links to search for nearby combat troops to issue them~
"Brother Liang, something seems to be wrong."
"Did you see it too?" Liang Guoxiang asked back and said, "The US military will take the initiative to go north and will definitely send a large number of fighter jets to seize air supremacy. Contact each team and Situ Rui to prepare for air combat as soon as possible. After contacting the enemy aircraft group, the 1st Squadron will face the battle head-on, and the 2nd Squadron will assault from the flank, striving to defeat the enemy as soon as possible."
"Attention, each team is sending tactical information."
Through the tactical data system of the chief aircraft, Di Boqing began to send commands to the team leader aircraft in the formation.
At 19:58, the j-14b aircraft group entered the sky above the Yalu River.
Liang Guoxiang took the lead in launching the active electromagnetic interference device, and 11 j-1s in the formation successively launched the active electromagnetic interference device. Then, the 12j-14b climbed to a height of 55 meters and flew south at a maximum cruise speed of 1 ch.
At this time, the 11th Regiment's air-controlling fighter brigade was flying towards the Yellow Sea waters south of the Liaodong Peninsula.
According to the combat missions arranged by Jia Baoguo, the tasks of the 111th Brigade and the 112th Brigade are "accompaniment".
When seeing early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft taking off from the rear base, Mei Lechi thought they were covering early warning aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft.
Because the Air Force has to provide supplementary forces for many troops, the 11th Regiment's ground air combat fighter brigade has been in a state of dissatisfaction. When the aircraft group was dispatched, the 111th Brigade had only 11 J-4s, and the 112th Brigade had only 12. The two brigades combined were not as good as the C011th Brigade.
Mei Lechi was very upset when he thought that Liang Guoxiang rushed to the front.
Although everyone recognizes Liang Guoxiang's status, Mei Lechi was a subordinate of Liang Guoxiang before, but everyone wants to be the first, and Mei Lechi is no exception. If Liang Guoxiang gains a few more results, no one will be able to catch up with him.
At 20:15, when Mei Lechi saw the fleet flying from the northwest, he realized that his guess was not accurate.
24h-9~|| into 6 neat diamond formations. Six electronic warfare aircraft that were previously accompanied by early warning aircraft activities took the lead and joined the bomber formation.
The main task of electronic warplanes is to provide electronic suppression and electronic interference when bombers break through.
If the bomber carries a long-range air-launched cruise missile, it will launch missiles hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers away from the enemy's air defense network, and there is no need for electronic warfare to accompany it. Only when performing close-range bombing or using missiles with a range of less than 500 kilometers will the bomber need electronic warfare to provide cover.
Now, Mei Lechi saw the opportunity.
The bomber group will definitely perform a very dangerous mission, otherwise there would be no need to send one early warning aircraft alone, six electronic fighter jets and 23 fighter jets to provide cover.
Even if Liang Guoxiang can gain more results in the front, Mei Lechi is not without a chance.
At this time, the 12j-14b led by Liang Guoxiang had crossed West Korea Bay and advanced towards Jianghua Bay above Huanghai South Road.
"Brother Liang, tactical information."
"Send it here."
"Home screen!" Di Boqing paused for a moment, "Mom, it's so troublesome!"
Liang Guoxiang quickly glanced at the big screen in the center, and when he saw the information displayed, he frowned. The dense light spots indicate that there were at least dozens of enemy aircraft ahead, and they were all F-22a, which was not easy to deal with F-35 series fighter jets. The US military came out in full swing, but Liang Guoxiang only had 12j4b.
"Prepare to activate the fire control radar." Liang Guoxiang did not hesitate and connected the formation communication channel. "All aircraft should pay attention and follow the long-term operation!"
Di Boqing connected the tactical data link as fast as possible and sent the long-distance plane to other fighters in the formation.
"Brother Liang, the target information has come out. The two brigades of F-22s have at least forty-eight enemy aircraft."
"Separately lock the target and cross-attack the thirty-six most threatening enemy aircraft." Liang Guoxiang said, and activated the fire control computer, and the computer automatically identified the "most threatening" enemy aircraft. "Contact Situ Rui and let him prepare for the second round of attacks."
"Contacting Squadron 2." Di Boqing's main task is to provide attack instructions for other fighter jets in the formation.
Within 15 out of 15, Liang Guoxiang locked in 6 of the most threatening targets.
Through the tactical data link, Di Boqing issued attack instructions for the other 11 j-1s.
Each j-14b locks 6 targets, ensuring that at least each target can be attacked head-on by two SD-16 missiles from 2j--4b.
“Distance 160.”
"Stay." Liang Guoxiang glanced at the screen on the left.
After entering combat state, the screen on the left side of the pilot shows the battlefield threat situation. If locked by the enemy's fire control radar, the threat information will appear on the screen so that the pilot can react at the fastest speed.
“120…”
"Don't worry, open fire within 80 kilometers!"
As soon as Liang Guoxiang finished speaking, the radar alarm plane rang.
Di Boqing was shocked and immediately said, "Brother Liang, we are locked."
"It's too far, no threat, keep approaching!"
The j-14b aircraft group rushed towards the f-22 aircraft group at a lightning speed. Although the pilots in the formation trusted Liang Guoxiang's ability very much, no one wanted to be shot down by the US missile!
