Seeing the four fighter jets painted gray and blue, Liang Guoxiang first threw away the three auxiliary fuel tanks, and then pushed the throttle to the end.

"'Falcon', this is the 'Eagle's Nest', to stop enemy aircraft, not to fire first. Repeat, fire must not be fired first. ”

"Understood!" Liang Guoxiang replied very briefly. "Do not fire first" means that after being attacked by the opponent's armed forces, you can return fire with a weapon.

At this time, the speed of the fighter was close to the speed of sound, and it shook very much.

Opposite, four Japanese fighters split into two twin formations and also began to accelerate.

"The first team will deal with the enemy aircraft formation on the left with me, and the second team will deal with the enemy aircraft formation on the right, bite to death, don't let the enemy aircraft slip away." Liang Guoxiang grabbed the joystick, "Boqing, start the photoelectric tracking device, let the dog know how good we are." ”

"Understood!"

As he was talking, four high-speed fighter planes staggered past in formation, and the formation was immediately disrupted.

"Left, left, enemy planes are in the direction of nine o'clock." In the air combat, Di Boqing also took on the role of observer, responsible for reporting the position of the enemy aircraft to the pilot.

In less than a second, Liang Guoxiang completed several maneuvering actions, and the Su-30MKK fighter made a left-hand flip while the speed quickly slowed down. In another look, as the Su-30MKK made a very dashing horizontal sharp turn maneuver, the F-15J rushed to the front of the 711 fighter. With the afterburner of the two ALF-31 engines ignited, the 711 fighter immediately accelerated.

"Bite, bite." At this time, the most excited person was Di Boqing, "Lock on to the target and launch the missile." Holy shit, you're finished! ”

Of course. It's just Di Boqing's obscenity. The power to launch missiles is in the hands of Liang Guoxiang.

At this time. The Japanese pilot who got the F-15J on the ground must have felt like he was sitting on a brazier. The F-15J will accelerate in a moment. Slow down for a while. One will roll on its side. A big angle turn. Never able to get rid of the 711 fighter behind him. You can't even see where your opponent is.

After a violent maneuver. The F-15J pulled up the nose. Start climbing.

"Dogs want to slip away. No way! ”

In Liang Guoxiang's low curse. The Su-30MKK fighter also quickly pulled up the nose. Under the huge thrust of 26 tons of output of two engines. Straight into the air.

Specific climb performance. Two heavy fighters are in between. In addition, there is not much difference between the maximum ceiling of the two types of fighters.

During the rapid climb, the fighter was subjected to more and more overloads. At this time, the anti-load clothes on Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing played an important role.

In a short time, the two fighters came to an altitude of 15,000 meters.

Seemingly losing confidence in the climb to get rid of the opponent, the F-15J quickly made a side roll and turned from a climb to a dive.

"Brother Liang, keep up, don't let the dog slip away."

At Di Boqing's scream, fighter No. 711 also turned to dive.

For pilots, diving is more dangerous than climbing. Not to mention the greater overload, it is difficult for pilots to find altitude references on the sea surface, and it is also difficult to judge the altitude of the aircraft by visual means. And in the heat of a fight, it is impossible for a pilot to keep an eye on the altimeter. If you can't get out in time, the plane will crash into the sea like a meteor.

In terms of dive performance, the F-15 is also no better than the Su-30MKK.

When it is not possible to use airborne weapons, pilots are more courageous.

Through the clouds, the blue sea is below. There were still 1,500 meters from the sea, and the F-15J pulled up.

"Coward, you changed your dive so quickly, and you dare to fight with your grandfather!"

Liang Guoxiang also came to the momentum, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Japanese fighter had to accelerate after changing the dive, the Su-30MKK quickly rolled three times in the air, and at the same time changed the dive, and the speed did not decrease much.

After a battle, the F-15J has been suppressed by the 711 fighter jet, and there is no chance to fight back.

"Brother Liang, it's good, do you want to give a little color to the dog's day?"

"No, we can't stir up trouble."

After saying this, Liang Guoxiang also felt a little funny. After a round of fighting, except for the lack of airborne weapons, the two sides used all the tactics of air combat. If this is not called provoking, what is provoking?

At this moment, the missile warning aircraft in the cabin suddenly sounded.

", in the back!"

Without any hesitation, Liang Guoxiang pulled back the joystick, pressed down the throttle, and at the same time opened the lid on the missile launch button.

During the rapid climb, Liang Guoxiang only felt that the things in front of him were blurred, and his reaction became much slower. This is a physiological response to a high overload maneuver, under the huge overload pressure, the blood cannot flow into the pilot's brain, causing the pilot's brain to lack oxygen, resulting in the pilot's blurred vision and sluggishness. If the overload is not reduced as soon as possible, it can also cause the pilot to lose consciousness.

Liang Guoxiang gritted his teeth and maintained the last trace of sobriety.

As the nose of the aircraft was quickly pulled up, the elevation angle of the No. 711 fighter quickly exceeded 90 degrees, reaching 110 degrees, while the flight speed decreased sharply. In just a few seconds, the F-15J that bit the No. 711 fighter plane rushed to the front of the No. 711 fighter because it didn't have time to slow down.

Immediately, the No. 711 fighter lowered the nose of the aircraft and accelerated again.

"Cobra maneuver, Brother Liang, you made a cobra maneuver!" As soon as he was relieved, Di Boqing shouted again.

Indeed, the 711 made an extremely beautiful Cobra maneuver, which not only removed the danger, but also took advantage of the situation, putting both F-15Js in front.

After coming back to his senses, Liang Guoxiang was already sweating profusely.

The Cobra maneuver is not something that anyone can do, and HNA has strict rules that no other pilots are allowed to do this unconventional tactical maneuver at will, except for the pilots who first published the aerobatic display team in the 16k novel wàp. text version. Therefore, for several years, Liang Guoxiang has been able to practice this maneuver on flight training equipment, and has never actually operated it.

At this time, two more Su-30MKK of the formation also rushed over.

The two F-15Js, who had been completely defeated, fled north like defeated roosters, and after finding that they could not break through the defense line of the Su-30MKK.

At this time, the sea in the south is above the sea.

Six other Su-30MKK fighters also encountered four F-15Js and convinced the other side.

The 12 "Flying Leopards" were divided into four formations and kept shuttling back and forth at ultra-low altitudes.

On the sea, the speed of the bulk carrier "Oriental Divine Power" reached 20 knots, and it cleaved westward. Not far away, a "King Kong"-class destroyer and two "Murayu"-class destroyers could only look at the sky and sigh, not daring to approach the "Dongfang Shenli" freighter in the slightest.

On the destroyer "King Kong", Hashimoto Tsuyoshi Daisa looked at the distant freighter anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

He was not afraid of those fighters in the air, the "Aegis" radar on the destroyer had already locked on the twelve attack planes, and it only took six seconds for the two MK41 vertical launch systems in the front and rear to shoot out twelve "standard" anti-aircraft missiles and kill the twelve attack planes.

What really scared him was the submarines under the surface.

When he led the "King Kong" to rush over, a submarine issued a warning with an active attack sonar. Subsequently, Hashimoto asked the battleship to speed up, ready to get rid of the submarine, but it didn't work at all. The ghostly submarine was still following closely behind, and as the King Kong approached the vostok-powered freighter, it issued a warning with active attack sonar for the second time.

Now, Hashimoto is out of line.

That's definitely a nuclear submarine, and most likely an attack nuclear submarine. The two Japanese submarines that accompanied the "Kongo" could not keep up with the pace of the warships at all, and they were long left behind.

In addition, after the fleet entered the waters of the East China Sea, there must have been a number of Chinese conventional submarines ambushed nearby.

What's worse is that the "King Kong" is only an air defense destroyer, and its anti-submarine capabilities are not very good. The anti-submarine helicopters on the two "Murayu"-class destroyers accompanying the operation had already been sent out, and they would not be able to return for a while.

If there is a real fight, Hashimoto will first have to consider the submarine under the surface.

The "King Kong" can easily take out those attack planes, but the hidden nuclear submarine can also easily sink the "King Kong" and the two "Murayu"-class destroyers.

It is clearly not cost-effective to exchange three destroyers for twelve fighters.

What's more, the order Hashimoto received was to intercept the freighter "Oriental Divine Power" and board the ship for inspection. Without receiving the firing of the Chinese Navy's submarines and fighters, Hashimoto could not make the decision to engage on his own.

Under the dual threat of attack aircraft and submarines of the Chinese Navy, Hashimoto did not want his spiritual throne to appear in the Yasukuni Shrine.

Hashimoto's hesitation ultimately deprived him of the opportunity.

Before the "Flying Leopard" group left, four catamaran missile boats rushed over and gathered around the "Oriental Divine Power." Immediately, the Chinese Navy officers and men on the missile boat began to use loudspeakers to warn the SH-60J helicopter that had just arrived, demanding that the other side immediately leave the skies over the Chinese ships and naval vessels.

Not long after, three large warships appeared to the west.

One "Modern" class missile destroyer, two "Luyang" class missile destroyers.

The second group of fighters carrying heavy anti-ship missiles also arrived before the "Flying Leopard" group returned home.

From beginning to end, the "King Kong" and the two "Murayu"-class destroyers could only follow the butt of the Chinese Navy's warship formation from a distance, watching each other go away.

When it was getting dark, Hashimoto received an order.

Three Japanese warships, as well as a group of fighters who arrived to escort the escort, immediately turned around and left this dangerous sea.

At this time, 550 nautical miles northeast, on the aircraft carrier "Washington" of the Seventh Fleet, Colonel Powell had just received an order to stop all military activities at the end of the exercise, and the four F/A-18E fighters that had been towed to the take-off position were returned to the hangar again.

Until this point, Powell had no idea what was going on.

Two successive large-scale exercises, high-intensity patrols and search operations, consumed more than 100,000 tons of aviation fuel, dropped thousands of sonar buoys, and had several frictions with the Chinese Navy. Is this just an exercise, or is there something special behind the scenes?

It's just that for Powell, and for the officers and men of the Seventh Fleet, none of this matters.

After more than three months at sea, I was finally able to return to Yokosuka and take care of my tired body and mind
