Chapter Twenty-five Two or Seven Orders

The God of Destiny, who is in charge of everything, seems to be very fond of Long Yun today.

Shortly after taking off the air and flew south, the mobile long-range precision radar deployed near the border line played a role. While guiding the 237th Regiment's large formation to catch the enemy in the southwest, the command center also transmitted navigation and combat commands to Longyun's Red No. 17 Su-27s, confirming the enemy target flying outside the Armenian border line.

Judging from the altitude and cruise method, Long Yun and the command center have basically the same views. It should be the NATO air superiority fighter jet that was guarding against the Soviet Air Force to launch a sneak attack. It is likely that it came from their old rival, the US Air Force's Eighth Air Wing.

These arrogant Americans have met again today!

Following the instructions of the ground guidance, Long Yun observed the situation on the battlefield and realized that his opportunity had finally arrived.

According to the navigation information sent by the command center, Longyun maintained a height of 7,000 meters, and Mach 0:85 was flying south smoothly. After about twenty minutes, he was approaching the cruise US fighter formation.

With a swaggering cruise of 7,000 meters, Long Yun did not hesitate to let NATO's e-3a pre-finishing machine discover himself this time. Of course, it is best not to notice that he is only alone. Since he is eager to fight, he has no intention of pursuing these annoying guys for a long distance. It is better to let the enemy discover himself first and then come up to die.

After several consecutive days of fierce battles, there were not many fighter jets in the Caucasus sky at this time, which can be said to be the rare purity since the war began. Shortly after Long Yun took off, he was lingering over Iraq and was monitoring the e-3a in the eastern airspace of the Caucasus in the Soviet Union, and found Long Yun's traces, but he was not sure about the incoming aircraft model and its intentions in this direction.

Because it is not sure whether this is a Russian cruise fighter or a supersonic bomber attacking from a high altitude, the console operator sent an interception instruction to the cruise F-15c formation through the command center after intercepting the target information.

Since Long Yun was on the intercept line of the formation, the four f-15cs patrolling the Armenian border changed their course slightly, forming a situation that was sailing opposite Long Yun, while starting the afterburner highway attack.

He knew nothing about all this. Long Yun, who was in the established state of contact with the enemy, found the radar echoes in the incoming F-15c on the airborne radar about four minutes later.

I don’t know if the enemy was too confident this time or whether he was driving the model. The n001 radar system was not subjected to strong electronic interference this time. Long Yun switched from the fast scanning mode to the tracking mode, and soon learned from the display that the f-15c formation was about 80 kilometers away from him.

The encounter officially began, Long Yun continued to fly forward patiently; he had already identified the number of enemy aircraft from the radar and also saw that they began to disperse, and two of the targets quickly disappeared from the radar screen!

Long Yun was not surprised by these tricks; he knew that since the opponent had a numerical advantage, he was either splitting troops to catch up with the enemy or trying to form a cross-interception situation against him. Thinking of this, Long Yun still adjusted the radar scanning mode and continued to intercept the dual-plane formation flying head-on in front of him. At the same time, he approached the enemy with a simple straight route, and then set up the missile launch in an orderly manner.

In this way, when the Red No. 17 Su-27s had just flew to the enemy plane forty-five thousand meters away and entered the shooting distance of the over-visual range missile, he decisively fired two R-27r: As the button was pressed, thin white smoke rose under the wings, and two huge milky white R-27r missiles flew out one after another. Long Yun fired the first shot before his opponent this time.

It is good to fire first, but what will happen to this batch of attacks?

At this moment, in the cockpit of the American fighter jet that was head-on, Major Johnson, the commander of the formation, stared at the radar display with his eyes. He was thinking about the model of this single Russian enemy aircraft and what was his intention?

He has performed many combat missions in the Caucasus before, but he has never encountered Russian fighter jets that attacked alone. This time it is indeed a bit unusual!

Of course, this is also likely to be a bait: although the command center has informed them that no other flying objects were found in the nearby airspace, but thinking that Russian pilots have always been known for their cunning, who knows whether there will be Russian fighter jets hiding where to wait for an opportunity to move in this clear and translucent sky?

Out of caution, he ordered the formation to be divided into two groups of dual aircraft, one of which turned horizontally and sideways away from the route, so as to form a scissor-like cross-contact with the Russians; at this time, they should be wary of possible sneak attacks, and not let go of the target in front of them.

However... in his personal opinion, he felt that this lonely guy was probably just a rookie.

Novice can do actions, right?

If that is not the case, why did he fly alone near the front line and there was no backup nearby?

Judging from Johnson's combat experience, the Russians always attacked in the Caucasus air combat mode, rushing up with all their strength and then breaking off at high speed, and then turning to continue volleys of missiles - this tactic can be said to be quite dull, but it also makes people feel very troublesome. They are using their numerical advantage to make up for the poor performance of these stupid, stupid and rough fighters such as "whipsters" and "fine-mouthed bottles"!

Now, suddenly, such a target was discovered on the radar. I guess the lonely Russian had some malfunctions in his chief aircraft or wingman. If this were not the case, how could only this fighter plane attack?

On one side, he guessed that Lieutenant Colonel Johnson maintained a dense two-plane formation flight posture, while continuing to observe this opponent with a strange pace on the radar: he found that the Russian flew a little smoothly, and then the Soviet Union's rigid dogmatic ultra-visual range attack method. Judging from the radar echo, the Russian fired two missiles at a distance of about 45,000 meters. The attack distance was a bit far, not like the style of a "whipster", was it a "fulcrum"?

However, according to intelligence, in the southeast of the Caucasus, the Russians did not have a frontline fighter regiment equipped with "fulcrum".

Moreover, from the radar display, the target's echo is so obvious now. Johnson has estimated that this is probably the "flanker" of his old opponent.

Yes, Major Johnson is not stupid. He did not guess the wrong model, but he guessed the wrong opponent!

As for his next encounter, he was probably even more unexpected.

Looking down at the rapidly changing combat airspace from a high place, I saw a tall, blue and white camouflage Su-27s approaching head-on; and in the twelve o'clock and two o'clock directions in front of this lonely fighter plane, four divided troops were connected to the enemy, full of missiles and murderous silver-gray f-15c.

From the prompt sound of the radar elf teller, Long Yun found that the opponent who had just disappeared from the radar should have appeared at two o'clock. Not only that, they obviously locked themselves with radar and may use the aim-7 "Sparrow" missile to launch an attack at any time!

Long Yun was not surprised to find the F-15 dual aircraft that came from the forty-five degrees. He just found out that the target formation was separated and thought that the opponent would adopt such a combat strategy. As for him, although he launched the missile first, it was the key last guidance section of the r-27r, but he could not bet on the opponent's luck and accuracy, but took the risk to continue to provide radar illumination for the missile.

Thinking of this, Long Yun decisively gave up the missile irradiation guidance, but instead maneuvered continuously to guard against the opponent's subsequent over-visual range attack based on the situation of the incoming enemy aircraft.

After a quick placeholding adjustment, Long Yun activated the force and quickly approached the enemy at two o'clock. After accelerating to around Mach 1:2 and maintaining a height of 7,000 meters, he was ready to enter the fighting air battle.

The four F-15cs that he came here rashly today will be used by him to test what kind of combat effectiveness he can play with the cooperation with the Su-27s!

As Long Yun expected, the two f-15c aircraft that had been hit at a forty-five degrees successively launched over-visual range attacks, but because the distance was too close, they immediately entered visual contact with Long Yun; after making a violent turn and maneuver, they took off several aim-7m "Sparrow" missiles with poor accuracy from the opponent, and Long Yun decisively activated and increased his strength to approach the enemy, and began to fight with these powerful "eagles"!

Such combat was something that American pilots had not expected.

I originally planned to use my speed advantage to eliminate the Russians in front of me with a preemptive and beyond visual range attack, but he did not know that he could dodge all of them and fell into a somewhat hasty combat.

At this time, they were still very combat-oriented and tried to fight the enemy together, but unfortunately it was too late now!

After dodging the last attacking Aim-7m missile, Long Yun's maneuvering action had already caused him to lose a lot of energy; when he approached the opponent who was coming, the distance was less than 4,000 meters, he seized the opportunity to use a half circle of just a good circle, and began to fight with a group of F-15c dual-machine attacks at two o'clock in the tail biting battle.

While nervously maneuvering horizontally, the enemy planes that were still in the marshalling group could not occupy the place. He observed his opponent's fighting skills and combat habits with a vicious look.

After the first high-speed contact, the enemy plane did not immediately leave and recover its speed, but chose to circle air battles with itself. Long Yun guessed that the pair, or the long aircraft, was a little eager to win: if they chose to accelerate the separation and wait for another two-machine formation to join the battle group and engage in frequent attacks to cover each other, then Long Yun would be really difficult to deal with.

But now that the Americans have chosen to enter visual fighting, they have accepted his challenge!
