Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 387
It is impossible for Zheng Hui to know that what he is eyeing is an old enemy who has fought against him before, otherwise he might not hesitate too much before firing.

"Move twice, the enemy plane has been hit." A calm voice came from the early warning aircraft.

"I saw."

He turned his head and saw a falling fireball next to the sun. For him, this was the most important achievement. He knew that many aces in the Air Force who were eager to try shot down four MiG-4s at once. Expressed sincere dissatisfaction; well now, it was a Rafale.

"That's just the first Rafale!"

He secretly made up his mind, adjusted his breathing, and chased after Colonel Dabrini. To be on the safe side, he did not rashly aim through his helmet to fire combat bombs.It is ideal to be able to use the IRST system to capture a target that is kept in the dark.

The target is moving outside the circular aiming circle on the HUD.The enemy has just fired a missile and now needs to maintain a posture in order to track his target.

Colonel Dabrini has just launched two Mika missiles, attacking the Su-2MKK 10 kilometers away, which is visible to the naked eye. He heard a wingman on the radio reminding him that the Chinese fighter plane following him was biting him. He turned his head and saw a heavy fighter plane He is secretly outflanking from below at 30 o'clock, trying to comfortably occupy a position with a small azimuth on the left.It looked like it was another Su-4MKK; the colonel remained calm and continued to stabilize the attitude to guide the missile towards the target. The target was launching jamming, but the active radar of the missile might be deceived by passive jamming.The target's speed is not high, and there are only one or two seconds left.

He didn't press down the nose until he saw the flash of the missile explosion, and the Su-30MKK in the distance fell to the ground dragging thick smoke.

The colonel quickly dived and circled, and slipped from the edge of Zheng Hui's head-up display to the bottom. This move was beyond Zheng Hui's expectations, and immediately offset his advantage in position.Then the two sides used their helmets to aim, and launched combat missiles at the 3/9 o'clock position where it was impossible to hit the opponent, so as to destroy the enemy's pursuit action; Zheng Hui regretted that his hands were a little slow, and he had no combat missiles at this moment. .

The remaining two Rafales are still dealing with the J-10 in the air. Both sides want to introduce their opponents to a height that is more favorable to them, but they have their own options, and it is difficult to succeed.Two J-11s in the distance are approaching, and the situation will change soon.Dabrini learned from the radio that the opponent's support is approaching, and he must shoot down the second Chinese fighter plane as soon as possible to change the situation.

The colonel carefully controlled the throttle and made turns with large overloads. The aircraft reacted very sensitively to the controls, and it was not difficult to gain the upper hand in turns at all altitudes. It may be possible to launch a counterattack with the aid of helmet aiming.

Zheng Hui pushed the throttle valve to the afterburner, and quickly pulled up the fighter plane. He gave up the entanglement with the opponent on the horizontal plane. That would undoubtedly lead to the opponent's way. It is the best strategy to mobilize the opponent to compete in the vertical direction; It is also clear that distance also facilitates the firing of distant companions.The J-11 has been scanning this airspace, and is suffering from being too close to the enemy, so he dare not fire.

Rafale is not so easy to shake off.Colonel Dabrini quickly bit the rear, the enemy plane that really wanted to be the Su-30 was shaking above the glass cockpit cover, and it could be caught by the radar, but he had to worry about the radar warning device, if the enemy plane in the distance The machine fired, but there was no warning opportunity to tell him.

The pilots of the J-11 have been using the radar to scan and adjust the pulse repetition rate; to adapt to the enemy aircraft flying up and down and constantly releasing interference, the deft gust is indeed a headache.He can't wait to rush to the front immediately and join the fight.

Rafale’s radar warning has been sounding unhurriedly. The enemy plane’s radar is measuring the distance, and maybe he will get used to it soon, but at this critical moment, the colonel can’t care so much.The J-16 took the lead in completing somersaults and entered the stage of accelerating dives. Zheng Hui was sure to continue to expand his speed advantage. Before the enemy plane completed the same maneuver, it could increase its speed by about 1000 kilometers per hour.

Dabrini's target accelerated and slid westward, then turned the nose of the aircraft in an instant, adding an additional G's acceleration.

"Want to play tricks? It's not that easy!"

The colonel slowly turned his neck to keep aiming at the target. He had to wait for the fire control computer to complete the measurement of the target's azimuth.

"I hope it's not too late."

When the two planes were roughly on the same plane, Rafale launched two magic missiles. Two missiles leave the pylons one after the other, and draw two completely different arcs in the air. The pilot controls the missiles to fly to two staggered interception points according to the predicted target route. up.

The interception position of the first magic missile was at the rear. When it detected the heat source of the J-16, it was too late. The missile could not turn and flew past the condensation trail. Although it turned with a huge overload to try to make up for it, it still missed a flash. chance.

The second magic directly captured the J-16 fighter jet, but the target immediately rolled and cooperated with several groups of jamming bombs, causing its seeker to lose the target immediately. The missile exploded in a white mist blown out by the jamming bombs, without hurting the target a cent.

Dabrini saw that the opponent's panic-scrambling movement had an effect, but the speed slowed down. He hovered at 9G, biting tightly, and was pressed on the seat and could not move. He hoped to have another 20 Seconds, can complete a radar aiming and shooting.

The radar alarm still issued a piercing warning sound, and the distant enemy plane finally caught him.This is an unfair contest, the number of opponents is much larger, and there are early warning aircraft to guide the direction of its fire control radar search.The colonel didn't know if the opponent had launched missiles at this moment, and Tespur's two-coordinate long-range warning radar could not be counted on.

It must be admitted that the enemy plane's delaying plan had worked, and it would be a big loss if it didn't leave.He called the rest of the Tiger Shark team on the radio to give up the attack and return west as originally planned.But he himself turned to the north with a shot and flew in front of the two J-10s. This trick really worked. One J-10 was attracted by him and attacked him. He just wanted to hold back the Chinese here. Fighter planes, so that our own people can retreat.

The two Rafales flew straight to the border of Bhutan; the AWACS aircraft received several calls for instructions, but a colonel on the AWACS aircraft was noncommittal, and no one authorized him to allow the aircraft to cross the border of a third country. In a blink of an eye, two Rafales Just flew over the border.

Dabrini used a somersault to attract the attention of all three nearby enemy planes, and then flew straight to the ground. This action quickly and neatly threw off a fire control radar outside the battle zone, and the scream of the alarm was instantly Disappeared.Overhead, a J-10 that lost its target made a roll, obviously looking for the target below.Today, the number of enemies and friends is 5 to 1, which makes Dabrini a little inexplicably excited. He must use a little trick to let the Chinese see and see.The colonel didn't launch the plane gradually, but rushed to the ground with more force. Seeing that the trees and rocks on the nearby mountains were clear, he pulled the plane up.The agility of this plane is a must, which is the confidence of his adventure.He expected that the enemy plane would definitely aim down, so he had to get as close as possible to the mountain, which could block some of the radar's vision.

The Rafale seemed to be going crazy, traveling at high speed in the valley north of the Dawang River. This was a stunt he even managed when he was driving the MiG-27, which was enough for him to escape at a critical moment.A few months ago, he flew by ground and air, flying hundreds of kilometers under the nose of China's long-range radar.Today, he also believes that no Chinese aircraft dares to drill into the ravine to compete with him.

Zheng Hui wanted to lower the altitude several times to pursue, but was stopped by the early warning aircraft. Today's sudden encounter was a one-to-one match, and the two pilots of the Su-30 were able to land safely, which already made the commander breathe a sigh of relief. Now, he doesn't want to cause extra trouble, especially if he continues to pursue him, he will face diplomatic problems.

The attack on the enemy's ground targets has not yet been completed, and all fighter jets have received orders to return to their respective airports, only a few drones continue to hover near the tornado position.From the images taken by the drone, it can be seen that the hole with a tricky location is still there, and the laser-guided bombs have blown up the mountain to make potholes, but the hole at the bottom of the mountain is fine.In view of technical obstacles, the command had to give up the air force strike and reactivated the backup plan of using the missile force.In principle, as long as one missile hits the front of the cave, it can be completely destroyed.

Taking advantage of the gust of wind breaking into the battlefield and disrupting the deployment of the Chinese Air Force, some command staff of the Tornado Force have already retreated outside the cave, while the rest of the staff are still hiding in the cave and watching, not daring to come out.The only real serious blow to this cavern headquarters so far is a TV-guided bomb, which exploded 20 meters inside the tunnel and destroyed a gate, but the overall structure of the tunnel is still stable and has not collapsed down.Subsequent laser-guided bombs, without exception, fell on the protruding mountain above the entrance of the cave.Falling rubble still buried half of the hole, preventing vehicles from leaving, but people were still able to escape.

The commander of the Tornado Battalion and part of his headquarters have been standing in the woods half a kilometer away from the entrance of the cave, observing the movement.The commander saw that the top of the mountain was cut off, and his heart was full of resentment. The resentment was not the Chinese Air Force, but the superior who sent him here.

"Lieutenant Colonel, Tespur is calling us."

The communicator stuffed the communicator and earphones into the hands of the commander.

Lieutenant General Chaguye was furious at the other end of the radio station. He didn't expect that he would be beaten up before he even played the ace in his hand, as if he had kicked him in the crotch just as he was about to put on a stance.

"Lieutenant Colonel, Commander Chaguye, how many troops and weapons do you have left?"

"There are still about half of the personnel left. Most of the technical equipment." The lieutenant colonel realized that it was the commander's voice, "A company deployed on the surface position was completely destroyed, and part of the hole was blown down. Now I am trying to rescue the trapped Soldiers at the base."

"Soldier? No, you should withdraw your precious weapons from the position first, and retreat to Bundila. I will give you a big credit. I will send engineers to support you immediately."

"This... I think it's too late."

"Shut up, these equipment are very valuable, more valuable than your life. Hurry up to clean up the tunnel and get the bazooka out for me. You must take responsibility for this, or I will send you to a court-martial."

Chaguye cut off the call aggressively, apparently more worried about the equipment trapped at the mountain base than about human life.

The lieutenant colonel threw the communicator back to the communicator, and muttered: "This idiot, who deployed us so far ahead, dares to shift the responsibility to me now."

"Battalion Commander, what should we do?" asked the communication soldier with blood on his face.

"What else can I do? Pack up the troops and retreat to Dawang."

"What should we do with the things that the command told us? Those launch vehicles and command vehicles?"

"I don't want all of them. One more minute will be more dangerous."

"But... the enemy air force has already left?"

"Fool, have you seen those drones?" He pointed to a drone that was flying secretly against the mountain ridge. "Do you think they are here just to see us make a fool of ourselves? They will launch a new attack soon, and we can't lose our lives because of that idiot's hasty decision."
