At dawn, after several hours of rest and adjustment, the siege of Laos officially began.

At 8:30 a.m. Beijing time, Pan Yunsheng came to the Fuhrer's Mansion with the satellite reconnaissance photos that had just been processed.

"The latest intelligence." Pan Yunsheng put the photo in front of Zhao Rundong, "One hundred and fifty fighters and six early warning planes, divided into three groups, have left Changi Air Base one after another, the first batch of fighters will arrive at the Kim Ou, Long Chuan, Mei + and other air bases in southern Vietnam in about half an hour, and the last batch will arrive in Vietnam before 11 o'clock this morning." ”

Zhao Rundong quickly flipped through the photos.

"The Singapore government has not made any statement and has not made any representations."

"It's a natural thing." Zhao Yundong put down the photo and said, "Allowing the U.S. military to use Changi Air Base to transfer fighter jets to Vietnam undermines Singapore's neutral status, if not an act of participating in the war." Perhaps, the Singapore government is not aware of it at all. ”

"Is it possible?" Pan Yunsheng smiled coldly and said, "The Singapore government must know about the large-scale arms transfer. ”

Zhao Rundong shook his head with a smile. "Anyway, we can only turn a blind eye to this."

"It's better for Wong to go and say hello, at least to the Singapore ambassador." Pan Yunsheng took out a cigarette and said, "Show our attitude, and the Singapore government will have some scruples." The same thing must not happen again, or the situation will get out of hand. ”

"You mean Old Peng?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded. said: "Before dawn." I went to the General Staff. Lao Peng is adjusting the deployment. I'm probably going to teach Vietnam a good lesson today. ”

"Lao Peng is a person with this kind of character." Zhao Rundong sighed. "Let him get it. What is the situation on Ruan Liangyu's side? ”

"There is no progress yet." Pan Yunsheng sighed. Said. "I sent someone. Got in touch with the spy who gave us the intel. The other party is cautious. There seems to be a concern. ”

"Concerns?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded. "The exact reason is not clear. But I think we have internal ghosts. ”

Zhao Rundong immediately frowned and motioned for Pan Yunsheng to continue.

"It's not strange to have ghosts, and no one can guarantee that everyone will be loyal." Pan Yunsheng picked up the cigarette on the table, "Of course, this is just my guess. In the past two years, Nanyang No. 1 has provided us with a lot of important and even unique information, but has refused to meet with us. Obviously, the 'Nam Duong No. 1' is not an ordinary spy, and it is very likely that he has come into contact with the local information of the Vietnamese intelligence department and knows a lot about the Vietnamese high-level. He was so cautious that he didn't trust us very much. ”

"You have to check it out quickly."

Pan Yun sighed. "It's definitely going to be checked, but there have to be clues."

"The war has been going on for a few days, and the United States has not yet expressed its attitude, and I am also wondering if something bigger will happen." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead, "In a few hours, Pang Xinglong will go to the United Nations again and use the evidence you provided to propose the imposition of comprehensive sanctions against Vietnam." Wong will travel to Bangkok again for bilateral contacts with the Malaysian foreign minister. At the moment, it seems that the situation is more favorable for us. The biggest problem is that we still don't understand the intentions of the United States. ”

"It's useless to guess so much, when we eliminate the Vietnamese army in Laos, it will naturally be clear."

Zhao Rundong nodded and no longer expressed his opinion.

At 9:20 Beijing time, Huang Guowei set off for Bangkok.

With the help of the Prime Minister of Thailand, Malaysia agreed to hold bilateral consultations with the Republic to resolve the dispute between the Spratly and South China Seas.

Although Zhao Rundong does not have much hope for this, Malaysia's willingness to negotiate with the Republic of China alone shows that Malaysia's hope for a peaceful settlement of the dispute between the South China Sea and the Spratly Sea has not been dashed.

The premise of the negotiations was that the Republic had to show itself on the battlefield and make Malaysia fearful.

On the same day, Peng Maobang adjusted the operational deployment in accordance with Zhao Rundong's instructions.

The Air Force fully supported the ground forces in Laos, and the task of striking Vietnam and seizing air supremacy was all entrusted to the naval aviation.

At 11 o'clock Hanoi time, the first U.S.-aided ground fighters took off from an air base in southern Vietnam to take part in the battle.

Like the F-166 that the United States provided to Vietnam in 2018, the U.S. is still providing second-hand equipment from the U.S. military, which is basically Block 42 to Block 52 batches of F-16C/D fighters. Before handing them over to Vietnam, the U.S. military dismantled some of the "unnecessary" equipment on the fighter jets, such as the U.S. military's friend or foe identifiers, ground attack equipment, aerial refueling equipment, high-speed tactical data links, and satellite navigation equipment.

Although the air combat performance of the F-166 was not affected, the actual combat effectiveness was significantly reduced.

Basically, Vietnam got its hands only on the F-166 for air combat.

After bombing the Vietnamese Navy ships and military facilities in Cam Ranh Bay on the night of the 22nd, the 1st Brigade of Liang Guoxiang was dispatched on the 23rd, focusing on bombing the port facilities and several small ships in Haiphong. On the 24th, he attacked Bien Thu, the capital of Nghe An Province, blowing up the only road and railway bridge over the Dajiang River and cutting off the only ground passage for the troops of southern Vietnam to go north; In the early morning of the 25th, it raided Qishan and blew up the road bridge from Nghe An Province to Nong Hei, Laos.

The war lasted for three days, and the 1st Brigade carried out all the key bombing missions.

This is also the "specialty" of the C111th brigade. As the first group of HNA to be fully equipped with J-13B heavy fighters, the C111 Group was regarded as the main long-range strike force of HNA when determining the nature of the force. The maximum strike radius of the J-13B, without air refueling, with ammunition on board, is close to 1

It is nearly 2 times more than the J-10B fighter carrying the same ammunition and nearly 600 kilometers longer than the J-15B. Because it can carry more airborne equipment and can add ground attack pods without affecting the amount of weapons carried and combat radius, the J-13B was developed with more emphasis on ground/sea strikes rather than fighting for air supremacy.

Of course, the air combat capabilities of the J-13B are beyond doubt.

As a long-range attack aircraft developed on the basis of a heavy air supremacy fighter, the J-13B is different from the FBC-11, which was specially developed as a long-range attack aircraft, and is inherently capable of powerful air combat. As long as the ammunition carried is replaced, the J-13B is able to perform combat missions of air supremacy.

On the morning of the 25th, Liang Guoxiang received an air supremacy combat mission.

Beijing time 125, 24J-13B each carried six interceptor missiles and combat missiles, and took off from the naval aviation base on Hainan Island one after another.

At this time, the F-16C/DD fighters of the Vietnamese Air Force went straight to the Gulf of Tonkin under the cover of 2E-2C.

"The target distance is 350, the altitude is 4500, the speed is 11c0, and the information is clear." Di Boqing said as he transmitted the received battlefield information to the three wingmen in the team, "Brother Liang, the enemy took the initiative to send it to the door!" ”

"Understood, I see." Liang Guoxiang quickly glanced at the screen on the left, "Attention of all aircraft, the first squadron intercepts head-on, and the second squadron detours to the east, preparing to engage." ”

2 fighters quickly dispersed, 12 continued to fly towards the Vietnamese group, 12 made a detour to the east.

"Brother Liang, the Vietnamese aircraft group is scattered, damn it, there must be an early warning aircraft behind."

Seeing the information displayed on the screen, Liang Guoxiang frowned slightly. "Don't worry about that, take out the frontal enemy first. The fire control radar is activated after 2 minutes, ready for long-range interception! ”

The order was quickly passed on to the other pilots in the formation.

Compared with three years ago, Liang Guoxiang has a more powerful weapon in his hand: "SD-12 interception missile." Compared to the previously used "PL-14 interceptor missile," the SD-12 but the maximum flight speed reached Mach 6; After adopting the new impulse ramjet engine, it can not only maintain a flight speed of Mach 6 throughout the whole journey, but also reach an astonishing maximum range of 180 kilometers; The composite guidance seeker provides it with two guidance methods: active radar and passive infrared, which increases the hit rate of a single-shot missile from "PL-1480% to more than 90%." Therefore, the SDD-12 is jointly developed with Europe, the AIM-120E that the United States is about to equip its troops, and the P-77D is being developed by Russia has combat performance far exceeding that of the second-generation medium-range interceptor missile.

According to the ground intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, Vietnam's F-166 fighter jets are equipped with AIM-120B, which has a maximum head-on strike range of only 80 kilometers.

In visual air combat, in addition to the missile hitting far, who sees far is more important.

The J-13B's phased array fire control radar has a head-on detection and tracking range of more than 330 kilometers and a locking range of 240 kilometers for small targets such as the F-166 (with a radar reflection cross section of about 2 square meters). The F-166 is equipped with an APG-67 fire control radar that will not detect the J-13B at a distance of no more than 150 km, and the locking range will be within 1 km.

Although the E-2C can guide the F-166 to the target, it cannot guide the missile in place of the F-166.

Before the battle began, the F-166 lost the battle.

At 0:50, when the 12J-13B fired the first batch of missiles at the F-166 group at a distance of 150 kilometers, the Vietnamese pilots had just detected the adversary with radar.

At a distance of 150 kilometers and a flight speed of Mach 7, the SD-12 only needs 70 to fly.

After the 70s, the distance between the two fleets is still 11c kilometers!

It is also said that the Vietnamese fighters were shot down by SD-13 missiles before they could lock on to the J-12B group.

The 12J-113B launched a missile, and for each missile attacking 1 F-16, the probability of destruction was close to 100 percent!

There was no suspense in the battle, less than 152, the first batch of 12F-166 fighters were all shot down by SD-12 shells.

At this time, the second round of fighting also began. Still 12J-13B against 12F-166.

In the end, only 1 F-166 escaped.

By the end of the battle, the 1st fighter of the 24th group was not attacked by the opponent.

For Leung, it was a battle without missing a beat. By the time he rushed to the airspace where the Vietnamese fighter had been shot down by a missile, there was not a single enemy to be found, except for the Vietnamese pilot, who parachuted into the sea.

"Contact the patrol plane and salvage the overboard pilot as soon as possible." Glancing at the yellow markers on the sea, Liang Guoxiang let out a sigh, "The group is ready to return, the battle is over!" ”

About an hour later, the first water patrol aircraft arrived and fished out 8 Vietnamese pilots.

The air battle was not spectacular, and the international radio and television station did not report on it.

In the morning of the same day, it was noted that the Air Force of the Republic (in fact, the Naval Aviation) stopped bombing military targets in Vietnam, focusing on the Vietnamese army in Laos. On the surface, Vietnam regained some air supremacy, but the reality was very different.
