readx; At the same time, in Mindanao, a major general of the American army also looked at the radar, and his face was grim and he ordered: "Keep tracking!" On the other hand, he has urgently reported to his superiors and asked for instructions on the next step, and in the face of the attack of the Chinese planes, he no longer has the authority to continue to command, because he has not received the order to open fire and intercept, and the previous formulation of relying on the proximity of the planes to intercept or even the airframe impact interception is useless, because the fighter jets on both sides are flying too fast, and it is not so easy to rush up and directly hit.

Soon, he just put down the phone and directly picked up the phone and said: "Major Henry, I order you can shoot at the Chinese's plane with a warning surname, but you must not hit it directly, and at the same time, you must not let them misunderstand that you are attacking directly!" ”

As his order was conveyed, Henry, who had been following Pan Hao behind the same landline, immediately approached, and then opened fire dozens of meters to the right of Pan Hao's landline!

At the same time, he said on an open channel: "You have entered the air defense alert area of our army, and you will leave within one minute, otherwise we will open fire and return fire!" ”

Pan Haotong didn't react much, but reported to the command of the 25th Wing in the rear while doing evasive actions: "The American planes have fired at me with a warning surname, and if they continue to advance, they will directly open fire and attack!" ”

Major General Luhanko groaned when he heard this: "It seems that this should be the bottom line of the Americans, let them come back!" ”

He dispatched a plane to Mindanao today, not to reconnoiter the intelligence of the US military, but to test the bottom line of the Americans; in the central part of the Philippines, where both sides occupy the islands, although the US military also followed but did not warn, and after the plane approached Mindanao, they carried out warning shots, which shows that the US military has maintained considerable restraint for the time being, but it also has a very strong bottom line, and these are all the information that the Chinese decision-makers need to know at present.

"Sort out the detailed report of this mission and report it directly to the Air Department!" After finishing speaking, Major General Luhanko walked out of the war room, and Pan Haotong, who had been chased by the Americans over Mindanao for a long time, was also relieved after receiving the order to return home.

It is impossible to say that they are not nervous when they have been chased all the way by the Americans, and they have been bitten on the butt many times, because they also don't know if the Americans will fire, and once the Americans fire, then Pan Haotong's team will become very dangerous. Moreover, this time they are purely trying to test the bottom line of the Americans, and they can't even take the initiative to get rid of the tracking of the Americans, otherwise they will lose the true purpose of this mission.

At the same time, he is also worried that if he does not do well, it will lead to a war between China and the United States, and this responsibility is too heavy for him to bear.

After receiving the order not to continue deep into Mindanao, he immediately led three other friendly planes to quickly dive downward, and then increased the maximum level flight speed at medium altitude, exceeding the maximum level flight speed of the P51D at medium and low altitudes to escape from the tracking of the US plane.

The tactical positioning of the F5 fighter and the P51 fighter in China and the United States is the same, that is, the high-altitude escort fighter, focusing on large range and high-altitude surname, the maximum ceiling of both sides can exceed 12,000 kilometers, but some details of the two sides are different, because these two fighters have undergone many improvements, the initial model and the later model are very different, so compared with the latest improved models of both sides. The latest model of the F5 in China to be improved and put into mass service is the F5. Compared with the F5C which was massively improved two years ago, the engine is equipped with a larger thrust, although the empty weight has increased compared to the F5C, but because the thrust has increased to 1,800 horsepower, the climb rate and the maximum level flight speed are greatly increased, compared with the maximum speed of 700 kilometers of the F5C, the maximum speed of 740 kilometers has increased to a maximum speed of 740 kilometers, and the rate of climb is also greatly enhanced.

The main model of the P51 in the United States is the P51D, and its engine thrust is slightly smaller than 1,650 horses, plus the P51 pays more attention to the protection of the surname Neng, which increases the weight more, resulting in its maximum level flight speed of only about 700 kilometers, but his steering surname can be better than the F5E, and the output power of his engine at high altitude is very strong, and the efficiency is stronger than the F5E engine, so if the two sides are fighting at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the fighting surnames of the two sides can be roughly equivalent.

Overall, each has its own advantages! There will be no one-sided situation, but these two aircraft have the same shortcomings, that is, although their medium and low altitude surnames can not be low, but compared to the national surnames can be superior to focus on low-altitude combat low-altitude fighters are really not good, whether it is F5 or P51 If it is in the airspace below three thousand meters to encounter China's F4H, F8G or the United States F6F, F4U and other fighters, and can not climb in time to get rid of it, it is dangerous!

And it is precisely this reason that also leads the Chinese Air Force to put a large number of F4H into combat when it is carrying out tasks over the Ben, and serves as the main fighter for medium and low altitude air supremacy missions.

Even in order to improve the advantages of the Chinese Air Force at medium and low altitudes, the Air Force not only continues to serve F4H fighters, but also upgrades a large number of F4C that have been relegated to the second line with the same engine and electronic equipment as F4H, so that the F4H fighters in the Chinese Air Force have increased from a small number of hundreds to thousands in a short period of time, and the Chinese Air Force is still continuing to refit, and the Air Force intends to upgrade all F3C to F4H. As for the F4A, the earlier model of the F4, due to the aging of the body, there is no need for significant improvement.

If the number of F4H fighters is not enough, and the F12A, the main air supremacy fighter of the Air Force, cannot be put into large-scale service in a short period of time, then the Air Force even intends to borrow some F4G fighters from the Navy. The Navy's F4 series fighters withdrew from the front-line troops earlier than the Air Force, and the Navy's carrier-based aviation units are mainly F8C and F8G, as for those F4Gs, they have already withdrawn from the front line and are currently deployed in shore-based forces.

The fighters of all countries in World War II have a great one-sided surname, the division of labor is very clear, and it is impossible for a fighter to fight the world, even if it is China's F5 or the United States' P51, their surnames can be very good but still have great limitations.

The positioning of the F5 in the Chinese Air Force is very clear, that is, high-altitude long-range escort, medium and low-altitude missions are currently held by F4H, while the local high-altitude high-speed interception operations are F7 and F10, night fighters are F6B, and ground support is F6D. As for the Air Force's next-generation jet fighter, the F12A, it is already separated from the many divisions of propeller aircraft, and can be competent for a variety of tasks at the same time, such as air supremacy and interception. At present, the Air Force is still developing jet fighter-bombers, and is also developing high-altitude and high-speed interceptors that specialize in intercepting bombers, and even jet bombers.

At present, in the skies over the Philippines, China's main fighter jet is still F5E, and the United States is mainly P51D. These two fighters can be said to represent the first level of propeller aircraft in China and the United States.

The situation in the Philippines is a bit chaotic, China and the United States have captured the north and south of the Philippines respectively, and have occupied many islands in the central Philippines, even though the ground forces of the two sides have not actually made contact, but the air forces and naval forces of the two countries have had many contacts, and at the beginning both sides were very tacitly agreed that they did not cross the central waters of the Philippines, and did not go north or south to reach the airspace above the control area of the other side. However, after China sent four F5E fighter jets to Mindanao to test the south, the United States also began to send P51D fighter jets north to Luzon, on the one hand, to reconnoiter Luzon, and on the other hand, to test China's bottom line.

And it is also very important that the Americans hope to learn more about the capabilities of China's fighter jets and the strength of its air defense system through this intensive contact.

The warring countries have kept their fighter surnames secret, and China's F5 fighters have not been leaked out, resulting in countries knowing that China has F5 fighters, but they still do not know the details of some specific technical surnames of F5 fighters, such as how his climbing surname can be? For example, can his instantaneous surname be like this? Or can his swooping surname be like this? And these are all things that the US Air Force urgently needs to know.

And the U.S. Air Force is still experimenting with how strong China's air defense system is, for example, how long does it take for the Chinese Air Force to detect and send fighter jets to intercept it from high altitudes, for example, if it enters from low and medium altitudes and ultra-low altitudes, whether it can effectively break through the detection of China's air defense radar network, and these may seem to be useless for the time being, but in fact these things are very useful, once China and the United States are at war, this information is extremely useful for the U.S. Air Force.

Similarly, while the US Air Force was learning about all kinds of intelligence of the Chinese Air Force, the Chinese Air Force also obtained a large amount of operational information from the US Air Force by intercepting and taking the initiative to go south to test the situation.

However, through a large number of aerial reconnaissance, the two sides have also tried to further understand some information about the ground forces of the two sides, such as the specific establishment and unit numbers.

This is not the era of the Internet in later generations, and during the war, countries often do not publicize their own troop numbers and specific establishments, and these are required to be collected at great cost by spies of various countries, such as China's number problem, so far in addition to the Chinese side itself, other countries can not figure out how many troops China has now, even the United States can only roughly estimate that China has at least 10 million army troops based on some information released by China. However, how to divide these 10 million army units, and the specific number of troops is not very clear.
