At noon on February 27, the cruiser "Red Stone" on patrol at sea discovered a large number of Allied aircraft crossing the southern coastline of the Western Continent and flying towards the southern subcontinent.
The cruiser "Red Stone" is the first radar test ship of the Imperial Chinese Navy. It is equipped with the first sea-to-air warning radar in the Chinese Empire. However, because the current magnetron technology is not enough, a radar
It can only be turned on for an hour before the magnetron will overheat, and it must be shut down for an hour until the magnetron cools down before it can be used again. Therefore, the cruiser is equipped with two radars so that it can be turned on in turn and remain alert at all times.
At this time, the officers in charge of the radar on the cruiser "Red Stone" immediately became busy. They quickly determined that these targets were aircraft groups that were airlifting supplies for the colonial forces in the Southern Subcontinent of the Allied Powers. The news was quickly transmitted back to the headquarters via radio.
After Su Zhizhen received the news, he immediately ordered all the fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force stationed in the southern subcontinent to dispatch urgently to intercept the Allied fleet. This time, the Allied air transport fleet was also well prepared, and they also dispatched a large number of fighter jets to intercept the Allied aircraft fleet.
A fleet of transport aircraft escorted the enemy, and a large-scale air battle began.
Captain Gao Zhihong flew steadily westward according to the communication instructions issued by the cruiser. Behind him were as many as eighty Golden Eagle 2 fighter jets. After the Golden Eagle 2 fighter jets were put into production, Fang Xiaoyu instructed to give them priority to
Entered the southern subcontinent theater to fight against the new fighter jets of the Sarns and Nantes.
Pilots can't put it down for these new fighter jets that have been purchased for less than three months. Compared with the previous Golden Eagle 1 fighter jets, these aircraft with greatly improved performance are simply considered artifacts. Although at the beginning, they were very concerned about this kind of aircraft.
The high speed and climb rate made pilots who were accustomed to the slow speed of the Golden Eagle 1 very uncomfortable. However, after a period of running-in, they finally mastered these new aircraft, and the air force's combat effectiveness improved a lot.
Big improvement.
"Enemy planes have been discovered, a huge group." Amis, the elf pilot with the best eyesight, announced loudly through the transmitter. With his extremely strong eyesight, he could see the opponent dozens of kilometers away.
A minute later, Gao Zhihong also saw the huge fleet of aircraft in the distance like dark clouds. He loudly ordered: "All aircraft begin to climb, seize altitude, and prepare to attack." At the same time, the other two captains also issued the same message.
With the order, the engines of two hundred and forty Golden Eagle 2 fighter jets roared, and the aircraft began to climb rapidly, and soon got into the large clouds like cotton wool. They were going to ambush here, waiting to catch the opponent off guard.
Unexpectedly, what came towards them was not a transport plane, but a fighter unit of the Allied Air Force. It turned out that after Gao Zhihong and others flew their plane through the Saar Army defense line, the other side's air force headquarters got the news, and they immediately ordered the south
All the fighter jets from the air force stationed in the subcontinent took off and came directly to meet them.
The aircraft on the Allied side were very mixed, including Camel fighter jets from the Saar Empire, Nürbel fighter jets from the Nantes Empire, and Eagle fighter jets purchased from the Chinese Empire.
One can imagine the flying speed of such a large and mixed formation. Since they did not have radar ships like the Chinese Air Force to guide them, they did not see the Chinese Air Force's fighter formations. They still lined up in a scattered formation, swaggering towards
Flying forward to fight the Chinese Air Force that was not in front of them.
Seeing that the opponent had already flown over, the three flight captains gave the order, and all the Golden Eagle 2 aircraft flew at full speed to catch up from behind. The choice to attack from behind was deliberate by the three captains, because at this time they had already arrived.
In the afternoon, the sun begins to shift westward.
The Chinese Air Force takes off from the east and flies west. If it attacks from the front, the Chinese Air Force pilots will go against the sun. Under the dazzling sunlight, their combat effectiveness will be reduced, and they deliberately climb high to bypass the opponent's fleet. The Chinese Air Force
The pilots turned their backs to the sun and attacked. This tactical arrangement was a required course in the aviation school, and the three captains executed it meticulously.
A group of Chinese Air Force fighter jets rushing up with their backs to the sun passed through the clouds. They relied on the extremely high speed caused by the large-angle dive to quickly fly towards the Allied Air Force formation. The Eagle fighter jets that fell behind did not know that they were already in danger.
, while they were still concentrating on their way, countless lines of fire suddenly passed by their fuselage, and in an instant, more than 30 planes were hit, exploded in the sky, and fell.
Hearing the explosions and continuous machine gunfire from behind, the Allied pilots immediately knew something was wrong. They made various evasive maneuvers to get rid of the ballistic trajectory of the Chinese Air Force and prepared to turn around and counterattack.
As soon as the plane turned around, the dazzling sunlight hit the Allied pilots and they could not open their eyes. They could only squint their eyes slightly and carefully observe the enemy. Soon the Allied pilots finally saw their enemies clearly, but the golden eagle
The novel shape of the Type 2 fighter's all-metal lower wing immediately frightened them.
Originally, they thought they were the original Golden Eagle 1 fighter jets. Those fighters were only comparable in performance to the Camel fighter jets and the Newborn fighter jets. But today, more than 500 of these two fighter jets alone have been dispatched, plus more than 100 fighter jets.
The scale of the Eagle-style battle is quite unprecedented.
However, these aircraft were simply not good enough against the Golden Eagle 2 fighter with a top speed of 440 kilometers per hour and four 12.7mm machine guns. Liang Junchao shouted while rushing towards the enemy group with his wingman, almost
A short burst of fire broke off the tail of a Newber fighter jet. The aircraft dragged thick black smoke and staggered to the ground.
"Turn around, I also grabbed one." Hearing Gao Hui's call, Liang Junchao immediately flipped upside down without saying a word, turned the nose of the plane and followed Gao Hui. The sky started to rain like dumplings.
Drop the plane to the ground, but if you pay a little more attention, you will find that the guys who fell are all bi-wings, and none of the monoplanes that are running rampant have been shot down at all.
The Golden Eagle 2 has very good anti-shock performance. The newly equipped self-sealing fuel tank eliminates the possibility of fuel being burned. Even if the fuselage is extremely seriously damaged, it can fly in the sky as long as the engine and pilot can still work normally.
, and both of these places are protected by armor.
This was the case for Gao Zhihong at this time. Although there were more than twenty bullet holes in his plane, it was still flying in the air, and his speed did not even slow down. Gao Zhihong, who had already harvested the thirteenth victory, slightly
He deflected the operating lever, turned with his wingman in a small radius, and started looking for the next target.
Those Eagle fighter jets were too slow and their firepower was too weak. All of them died as soon as the battle started. Ten minutes into the air battle, there were no Eagles among the planes still flying through the sky.
The technological gap, especially the technological gap of more than one generation, cannot be made up by the advantage of quantity. The Golden Eagle 2 fighter jet, which represents the latest aviation technology of the Chinese Empire, is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing the fighter jets of the Allied Powers.
Under such a unequal situation, the fighter pilots of the Allied Powers quickly collapsed. When the Allied Powers lost more than a hundred aircraft, some Allied Powers pilots began to slam on the accelerator and fled along the way.
Pray that you can escape the pursuit.
After the victory, the three captains of the Chinese Air Force wanted to pursue the victory, but there was not much fuel left and the ammunition would be exhausted. The self-sealing fuel tank was not good at this, because a layer of rubber lining was added inside the fuel tank.
In order to seal the hole after the bullet penetrates the fuel tank to prevent explosion, the volume of the fuel tank is reduced accordingly. The same problem is with ammunition. Large-caliber machine guns do shoot well, but the bullets of large-caliber machine guns are also large, so accordingly
The ammunition load is also reduced, not to mention there are four machine guns, and the ammunition endurance is naturally not good.
Seeing that they could no longer pursue the pursuit, the pilots of the Chinese Air Force had no choice but to start returning. Although the Allied Air Force covered their transport formation, they paid the price of nearly two hundred aircraft being shot down.
Each pilot was equipped with a parachute, which allowed half of the pilots to survive, but the damage to the aircraft was too great.
Apart from more than thirty aircraft being injured and barely returning to the airport, the Chinese Air Force suffered almost zero personnel losses. This result greatly shocked the Allies and the Boston Empire across the ocean.
Originally, after the Boston Empire saw the internal political turmoil in the Chinese Empire, it became more interested in joining the Allied Powers group to fight against the Allied Powers and the ASEAN. After all, the Boston Empire purchased a large number of war bonds from the Allied Powers. If the Allied Powers failed in the war, these
The money was wasted.
Now seeing that the Chinese Empire has repeatedly achieved miracles by relying on its world-leading military and technological strength, the Boston Imperial Government has begun to hesitate again. After all, no matter how good the money is, it is not as important as the national destiny. If it really joins the Allied Powers and is defeated, not only will the money be gone, but its own
There is still a possibility that the country will be divided.
The navy was severely damaged, and air transportation lines began to be intercepted frequently. The Allied Powers endured huge losses to supply the troops in the southern subcontinent. For every ton of supplies delivered to their own armies, more than ten tons of supplies were destroyed on the way.
Later, the Allied Powers had to reconsider and divert the transportation. Some of the supplies would be transported to the Mauritius coastline on the southern subcontinent near the Prosperous Ocean. From there, they would be loaded onto trucks and delivered to the Allied Powers’ troops in the Southern Subcontinent by land. However, this would increase the land supply line to more than eight
One can imagine how difficult it is to travel a thousand kilometers.
