Rebirth of the Flying Era

 Hong Kong successfully reached an agreement with Gu Dan, but the next thing did not happen overnight.

 Sending pilots there for adaptive training, as well as logistical maintenance issues, all require time to get used to, maybe two or three months at the most.

 Fortunately, the problems faced by the other side are similar. Even if Moscow agrees to provide MiG fighter jets, it will take some time to deliver them.

 This is also the real value of Natasha's last visit to provide this news.

 Otherwise, once Yueguo's fighter planes have formed combat effectiveness, Du Fei will not react until Du Fei reacts, and he will fall into passivity.

 During this period, the front line in Chenla remained the same and did not change much.

Only at the end of July, Vietnam launched a relatively large-scale attack, but it did not gain any advantage in the face of Lin Tiansheng's tight and resilient three-dimensional defense.

Until mid-August, the first batch of six J-8s finally arrived in Siam and joined the Air Force fighter group.

  Comparatively, Yueguo, who was further ahead, fell behind.

The main reason is that Hanoi's influence on Sulian is limited. Sulian's planned economy has its own operating rules. You can have it if you want it. The factory knows that Yueguo is very anxious, but please give it a try first. Don't worry, everything is planned.

In this way, it was not until half a month after Siam received the J-8 modification that the first batch of MiG-25 fighters arrived in Vietnam.

 But the expected air battle did not break out immediately. Both sides needed to adjust and were waiting for opportunities.

 Until this day, the Vietnamese army launched an attack on the central front, and Lin Tiansheng dispatched two gunships to provide fire support.

 At the airport located at the rear, the MiG fighter planes finally received the order to attack.

 Following the order, the ground crew and pilots at the airport immediately became busy.

However, the newly formed Air Force, after all, lacked experience and seemed a bit busy. It took off with two MiG-25s.

 Their targets were the two gunships on the front line.

 The most important purpose of importing these MiGs is to deal with the gunships and bombers of the Nanyang Weihe Force.

The key is to be fast, because behind the front line of the confrontation between the two sides is the air defense position deployed by the coalition forces. Whether it is a gunship or a bomber, it is safe as long as it flies back within the coverage of the defense and control position.

Vietnam Air Force needs to rush to the battlefield in a short time.

Seeing two MiG-25s rising into the sky, people at the airport were excited and looking forward to it.

 They have high hopes for these MiG fighters bought from Sulian.

However, not long after, the warning radar of the Nanyang Weihe troops discovered the movement.

This kind of radar is specially designed for high-altitude and high-speed aircraft. The U-2 reconnaissance plane that shot down America used a similar type of radar.

 It’s just that after more than ten years of development, the performance of radar is now more powerful.

In this era, there is no such thing as "stealth" for fighter aircraft, especially "stainless steel flying bricks" like the MiG-25, which appear on the radar screen soon after flying from the rear airport.

　　A piercing alarm sounded immediately from the coalition forces.

 Soon the airport in the rear received the order, and the J-8 took off immediately.

At the same time, the two gunships on the front line also received the order to retreat. They immediately turned around and flew back to the air defense position. The horsepower of the four coaxial reversing engines was turned to the maximum.

 MiG-25 is so famous that it can fly at more than twice the speed of sound, which makes people feel scalp numb.

 The gunship will be dead if it is caught up.

Fortunately, the air defense position was not far away, and the speed of the gunship was not slow. It flew more than 50 kilometers in less than ten minutes and broke into the coverage of the defense and control position.

 At this time, behind them, two fighter jets approaching at high speed could be seen with the naked eye.

On the ground, the two MiG fighters were clearly displayed on the air defense radar.

 An air defense commander said: "Warning fire from anti-aircraft guns."

Logically speaking, in this situation, the air defense position would definitely wait for the enemy aircraft to come in before suddenly opening fire.

 But the situation was different at this time. Their purpose was to protect the gunships and fire warning shots to show that there was an air defense position here. It was the right choice to keep the enemy out.

 At the next moment, the anti-aircraft guns on the ground opened fire immediately, and the anti-aircraft missiles were also ready to launch.

When the Yueguo pilot saw this, he quickly raised the plane and changed the direction of flight.

These fighter planes are their treasures. If they break in even though they know there is an air defense position in front of them, regardless of whether they will be shot down, they will still have to accept punishment even if they get back safely.

Moreover, these pilots are all novices. Most of them are international students sent to Sulian by Yueguo and have no actual combat experience.

 Originally, they hoped that the Soviet Union could send pilots directly, just like they did on the Goryeo battlefield.

It was sternly rejected by SAL. Giving an airplane and being a pilot are completely different things.

The purpose of Sulian is to suppress flowers and fruits, but it must be measured. Europe and East Asia must distinguish priorities.

 The two MiG-25s watched the gunships flying away in the distance and had no choice but to give up the pursuit.

 As for bypassing the air defense formation, it is also impossible.

 First of all, it is impossible to determine whether there are other air defense positions behind this air defense position; secondly, although the MiG-25 is fast, it consumes huge amounts of fuel, has a short range, and has a combat radius of only 600 kilometers.

 But now that it’s here, it doesn’t seem appropriate to do nothing.

As the lead aircraft, a MiG-25 simply launched a large air-to-air missile.

I saw a tongue of flame spurting out, and the missile struck the sky like an eagle, chasing a gunship that fell behind like lightning.

At this time, the gunship was extremely nervous, and the "didi-di" buzzer sounded, indicating that it was locked by the radar.

 The prototype of the gunship is the Y-8 transport aircraft. Although it is not very advanced, it has all the functions it should have, especially some newer aircraft.

As Duffy's relationship with America became closer, he acquired a lot of electronic technology and is still improving it.

Some technologies, although not very advanced, are quite practical.

 The electronic equipment of Ling Yun-8 has been greatly improved compared to the initial model.

 The captain immediately shouted: "Evasive action 01, launch jamming chaff!"

 The pilots on the plane were so focused that it was impossible not to be nervous.

At this moment, they are walking a tightrope in front of death. Not only can they not make mistakes, but they also have to pray that the other party makes mistakes, at least not so accurately.

In a flash of lightning, there was a loud explosion.

The missile exploded near the red-hot decoy target created by the chaff thrown backwards by the gunship.

The powerful warhead exploded, and the gunship was still affected even though it was a certain distance away from the explosion point.

In the cabin, the sound of "ding-ding-dong-dong" fragments hitting the fuselage can be clearly heard.

At this moment, the aircraft suddenly shook violently, and the co-pilot immediately shouted: "Report, the left tail wing is damaged."

 The captain looked expressionless and ordered: "Keep your attitude and lower the altitude..."

Despite this small twist, it did not change the overall situation. After launching a missile, the MiG fighter did not pursue it, but made a majestic circle in the air along the battle line, which greatly boosted the morale of the Vietnamese army. A few minutes later, as he was about to return, two fighter planes appeared from a distance and launched air-to-air missiles without saying a word.

 What came was Siam’s J-8 modified fighter plane.

This fighter aircraft derived from the MiG-21, even though it has been improved and enlarged, it still looks slim compared with the MiG-25.

But the missiles sent out were unambiguous. A total of four air-to-air missiles were mounted on the two aircraft. At this time, two missiles were reflected from each other and hit directly at the two MiG-25s.

Siamese pilots felt from the bottom of their hearts that Huaguo's aircraft was definitely not as good as Superlink's, but they had no choice but to shoot out the missiles first when faced with such a situation.

The Vietnamese pilots were stunned. Their intelligence was a bit worse. Until now, they still didn’t know that Siam had obtained the J-8 modification with them.

However, being able to become pilots is an elite no matter what era they are in. The two pilots flying the MiG-25 reacted quickly and immediately prepared for battle. They used the airborne radar to lock on the two enemy aircraft...

 The actual battle lasted less than two minutes.

  In the end, both J-8s were shot down and completely defeated.

 In addition to the performance gap between the two fighters, another reason for this result is that Siamese pilots are not determined to fight.

From the beginning, I didn’t have the courage to engage in dogfights. In fact, the J-8 is not without its advantages in close-range dogfights. Although the MiG-25 is famous, in order to pursue high altitude and high speed, it is not excellent in maneuverability, and its use Instead of stainless steel, it becomes too heavy and affects flexibility.

Furthermore, the Vietnamese MiG fighter planes arrived first and patrolled over the battlefield for a while. As long as they fought hard at close range and persisted for a while, the enemy would have to return.

It’s a pity that these two smart people wanted to shoot out the missiles and leave, but they forgot that the speed of the J-8 was much slower than that of the MiG-25, and it could not run at all.

 …

 When he received the news, Du Fei was in Siam.

 Ever since the planes of both sides were in place, Du Fei knew that there would be a battle soon, so he came here specially from Kuching.

 Although the initial plan was to lose, when I heard the result, I still felt mixed.

Before this, Du Fei had thought more than once in his mind whether a miracle would happen and "Ba Ye" could kill the MiG-25!

 Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen after all, and the result was as expected.

 Facing the MiG-25, even the improved J-8 is still obviously weak.

 In this case, unless there is an overwhelming numerical advantage, the overall situation of the war can be changed.

 In Gu Dan’s suburban villa.

Du Fei carefully read the telegram from the front twice, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, then handed it to Gu Dan.

Gu Dan glanced quickly, frowned and said: "This..."

Du Fei waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the J-8 can't defeat it as it should. It seems that we must be more cautious in using air power in the future."

 In the next period of time, Lin Tiansheng will be under great pressure.

After this air battle, Yue Guo believed that he had regained air supremacy and would definitely take the opportunity to organize a counterattack.

But that is Lin Tiansheng's battlefield, and Du Fei has his own battlefield.

Now that he has obtained the ‘card’ he wanted, he must have a serious talk with America.

 …

 At the same time, news spread from the front to Hanoi.

Li Yi, who was in a meeting, slammed the table and exclaimed excitedly: "Okay! Great~"

 Since Lin Tiansheng was caught off guard in the south of Chenla, this is the most exciting good news he has heard recently.

He stomped around the office, rubbed his hands hard against each other, and turned around three times before returning to his desk. He was still in high spirits: "Big reward! There must be a big reward! The two comrades who performed the mission this time, let them go to Hanoi Come, I will award them medals in person."

 At the same time, people far away in the capital also received the news.

Zhou Zhennan frowned. As the main leader of the Air Force, he originally had high hopes for the J-8 modification.

Although I know that it is definitely not as good as the MiG-25, but with the technical support of America, it should be able to fight.

 The result disappointed him.

Even if the Siamese pilot's fighting will and technical level are not good, don't forget that the pilot on the opposite side is also a rookie.

 The eldest brother on both sides, don’t talk about the second brother.

In this case, it is very clear that the J-8 missile was launched first and was still beaten zero to two.

Zhou Zhennan took a deep breath. He finally understood why Du Fei had tried every means to get America's new fighter plane, even if it was a model that had been eliminated in the competition.

　　In the beginning, everyone including him felt that Du Fei was too superstitious about America. Now it seems that just using some Western aviation technology to improve the J-8 is really not feasible.

 …

Just when Zhou Zhennan was feeling emotional, Du Fei was already on the plane flying to America.

In the K-8 special plane, Du Fei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy as he leaned on the large sofa and looked at the white clouds outside the porthole.

We have been laying the groundwork for so long, starting from taking the improved J-8 as a breakthrough point, establishing contact with Northrop, then spending US dollars to win the McCain, and a series of subsequent actions, which lasted for nearly two years. Now, it depends on whether we can intercept the Hu YF-17 before Northrop gets the Navy order.

 A few hours later, Du Fei landed at Los Angeles Airport.

 He notified Bu Shi in advance and Jiao Zhi came to the airport to pick him up.

They are also old acquaintances. Currently, the correctional officer is in charge of the Sri Bega Petroleum Company.

“Correction, long time no see.” Du Fei got off the plane and the two of them chatted for a while.

 Immediately got in the car and headed to Bu Shi's villa.

Du Fei had to be fully prepared when he came this time. He not only had to rely on the power of Bu Shi, but also contacted Northrop.

Both sides are ready, and then go to Nicole Grandpa to grasp even more.

Du Fei had already visited the Bushi family's villa in Luo City. It was a suburban manor with a very Western style.

 The car parked in front of the main building of the manor.

As soon as Du Fei got out of the car, he saw a fashionably dressed woman standing in front of the main building with Bu Shi with a smile.

 “Hey Du, my friend.”

Bu Shi walked down the steps with a smile, went up to give Du Fei a big hug, and then let the woman out.

Du Fei was no stranger either. He smiled and kissed the woman, "Barbara, you are still so beautiful, like a muse."

 “Oh~ thank you, Du.” Barbara smiled happily and brought everyone into the house.

Both parties knew that Du Fei's visit this time was of unusual significance. After a ceremonial conversation in the living room, Du Fei followed Bu Shi into the study.
