Chapter 1022 Sir, Times Have Changed (First Update, Please Subscribe)
In the air, several F1C carrier-based fighters roared past, and on the ground, clusters of tanks and armored vehicles raised billowing yellow dust, reminding people that the armored forces were on the march.

On October 10, after the city of Suez was captured, the 31rd Armored Brigade began to march northward, rampaging all the way. The limited counterattacks by the Egyptians quickly collapsed under the impact of the armored cluster.

While the ground forces were advancing, the carrier-based aircraft of the naval aviation provided protection in the air.

The dazzling sunlight shone directly into the cockpit. Although the temperature at an altitude of 20 meters was already below zero, the temperature in the cabin was still maintained at around degrees through the air circulation system inside the aircraft.

Gao Binghan, who was flying the plane, was searching the airspace vigilantly. Although the British and French air forces had begun bombing targets including Cairo, and the Egyptian air force was now busy dealing with the British and French air strikes, no one could guarantee that they would not go south.

While he was searching for the target, more than a hundred kilometers away in the sea, in an S2 early warning aircraft, a radar operator was concentrating on observing the radar screen - in fact, this early warning aircraft is just an S2 twin-engine anti-submarine aircraft with a radar installed on the nose, but this radar has greater power and a longer detection distance.

Although it looks very simple, it is still a very effective means of warning in this era.

And unlike ordinary radars, this radar can effectively clear ground clutter, which is why it can be used in this environment.

Suddenly, the radar operator found six strong reflection signals on the screen and he immediately shouted.

"Enemy plane found!"

Soon, several other operators also reported the corresponding data one by one, and the discovery of the early warning aircraft was transmitted to the fighter jets in front via the radio at the first time.

"…The enemy aircraft is at an altitude of 8000 meters!"

"Descend altitude and hide using ground clutter..."

Hearing the captain's order from the headset, Gao Binghan descended without thinking. Soon, they reached an altitude of 500 meters. At this altitude, affected by the earth's surface and ground clutter, it was difficult for the Egyptian radar to detect their presence.

Then they flew in another direction according to the direction provided by the early warning aircraft. Equipped with air-to-air missiles, they first needed to occupy the 6 o'clock position in the air combat, that is, to launch an attack from behind the enemy aircraft.

With the help of early warning aircraft, they can adjust their course and then seize the most advantageous position before the enemy discovers them.

"Where is the enemy?"

Although the early warning aircraft was constantly updating the enemy's position, Gao Binghan still looked up and searched the sky. Suddenly, several shadows passed over the left cabin.

"Enemy plane!"

He turned his head suddenly and stared fiercely at the direction where the enemy plane was.

The enemy is nearby!
The Egyptian Air Force captain steadily piloted his Emir, who was flying a MiG-17 fighter at an altitude of 8000 meters. Behind him were five identical MiG fighters. They had all received air combat training from the Soviets in the Czech Republic, and the war broke out just after they returned home. They were eager to defeat the enemy in the air.

After the radar detected the enemy aircraft, they immediately took off.

Now they are also searching for those foreign invaders with their own eyes!

Where are they?

The radar station in the rear could no longer provide direction indications, and the enemy disappeared from the radar screen a few minutes ago.

Just as Emil and other pilots were searching for enemy planes, suddenly, four Thunders attacked them from the side and rear like lightning.

"They are down there, they are down there!" After discovering the target, Emil sneered with some complacency.

"Shoot them down, shoot them down!"

For Emile and others who had a high advantage, they were proud at this moment. Ever since their country was invaded, they had been holding their breath to shoot down enemy planes and defend the motherland's airspace.

The advantage is mine!

When such a thought flashed through Emile's mind at high altitude, Gao Binghan, who was driving the Thunder, took the six o'clock position and turned on the power of the Sidewinder while aiming at the opponent. In just a moment, the seeker of the Sidewinder missile found the target. When a "beep" sound was heard in the earphone, the warning light also lit up.

This was a reminder to him that the Sidewinder missile had locked onto its target.

Just like in the training at the air combat school, Gao Binghan pressed the launch button and fired one missile first. As the Sidewinder flew towards the enemy plane, he fired another one. Two Sidewinder missiles flew towards the target, leaving a trail of white smoke.

"Rocket, beware of the rocket..."

Emil thought the enemy was launching an air-to-air rocket and immediately accelerated the aircraft, but he did not expect that when he used afterburner to escape, the flames from the tail nozzle further exposed the target. The same was true for other Egyptian aircraft. This was exactly the experience accumulated by Soviet pilots in the Peninsula War - when encountering an air-to-air rocket attack, they would immediately turn on the afterburner and disengage at full speed.

As a result, when the six Egyptian Air Force MiG-17 fighters turned on their afterburners, they were like lanterns lit in the dark, completely exposing themselves to the Sidewinder missiles. Several Sidewinder missiles seemed to have eyes, flying towards the enemy aircraft that were spraying high-temperature flames from their tail nozzles...

“It really is like having eyes.”

Because the smoke trail of the Sidewinder missile's rocket engine was very obvious, Gao Binghan clearly saw the white smoke trail adjusting its course in the air and flying towards the enemy plane.

"Damn, what's going on?"

Emil screamed in horror.

"Their rockets are catching up, catching up..."

While he was screaming, he was also trying to get rid of the rocket. When he turned left and flew sideways, the rocket also adjusted its course and flew towards him. Soon, the screams of terror were accompanied by a loud bang, and the roaring MiG-17 fighter turned into a ball of fire in the air.

Not one group, but five groups. Four Thunders fired eight Sidewinder missiles in succession. Although they only aimed at four targets, because the targets were shot down, a Sidewinder missile that missed the target was not attracted by the flames in the air, but flew towards another MiG-17 that turned on the afterburner and fled at full speed.

The subsonic MiG-17 was obviously unable to escape the Mach 2 Sidewinder. After the missile approached, the escaping MiG-17 was shot down with a loud bang under the action of the radio proximity fuze.

The only remaining MiG-17 was like a frightened woman, shouting nervously through the radio while fleeing at all costs. Facing the fleeing enemy, Gao Binghan, who was biting the opponent's tail from behind, calmly looked for the fighter plane, just like when he was in the air combat school. At the moment the launch indicator light came on, he once again launched two Sidewinder missiles.

This time, the missiles did not disappoint his expectations. Although the MiG-17 fighter kept maneuvering and rolling, the two missiles still bit it tightly. Finally, in the violent explosion, the MiG-17 turned into a ball of burning flames.

The 0:6 victory filled their headphones with cheers. Gao Binghan, who shot down two enemy planes in succession, seemed very calm. He looked at the falling planes quietly. There was a white parachute in the distance. Six planes were shot down and only one flight crew member escaped.

This is air combat!
For Gao Binghan, who was only 21 years old, it was his first combat and he even felt a little sad when he saw the fallen enemy plane.

"Pomegranate, Pomegranate, congratulations, you've made a great start!"

In response to the captain's congratulations, Gao Binghan simply said, "Pomegranate..." He hated pomegranates. Whenever he heard the word, he would always miss home and his mother whom he had not seen for many years.

But the next moment, he pulled the joystick hard, and the plane quickly rose into the sky. In this blue sky, they were the kings of the sky!
