.In the first round of attack, Yan Yingbo received three results, and two results were to be confirmed.

When choosing tactics, the four pilots were very clear about their understanding. Their main task was to prevent Japanese fighters from attacking the East China Sea Fleet, rather than shooting down Japanese fighters. The most effective way was to force Japanese fighters to throw away anti-ship missiles, and each of the four fighters locked six targets.

If the j-20's bomb bay is large enough, or it uses a new generation of medium-range air-to-air missiles, it can attack eight targets at a time.

Even so, four J-20s can attack twenty-four enemy aircraft.

You should know that the total size of the f-2 fleet is only sixty.

When he continued to approach the F-2 aircraft group, the J-20 driven by Yan Yingbo detected with radar that at least three F-2s were shot down by the missile, and only one missile exploded near the bait bomb thrown by the F-2. After the other two missiles and the target were lost, they started a re-search program and instead attacked the adjacent enemy aircraft. However, the situation on the battlefield was very chaotic, and the F-2 aircraft group began to avoid it after being attacked, so it was impossible to confirm whether the two missiles had received the results.

However, shooting down three F-2s at a time was enough for Yan Ying to be proud.

The battle is not over yet, and the unattacked F-2 is turning to fly to the Diaoyu Islands, while the East China Sea Fleet is hovering west of the Diaoyu Islands.

Not to mention that there are two fighting missiles on the fighter plane, even if only the air cannons are left, they have to continue fighting.

At this time, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force combat command center was already in chaos.

No one, including Taro Arakawa, expected that the F-2 fleet would be intercepted more than 100 kilometers away from the Diaoyu Islands, or that China's air defense combat opportunities would be more than 100 kilometers ahead. If the East China Sea Fleet was on the west side of the Diaoyu Islands and was centered on the fleet, it would be equivalent to expanding the air defense range by more than 250 kilometers, and the fighter jets attacking the F-2 fleet would be more than 200 kilometers away from the moving kj-2000.

Although this area is still within the command and guidance range of early warning aircraft, the kj-2000 can detect the F-22 up to 150 kilometers away. Are Chinese fighter pilots not afraid of the F-22?

There is only one thing that is certain that the attacks on the f-2 fleet is j-20, not j-10 and j-11.

The reason is very simple. Before the F-2 aircraft group was attacked, the -767 did not find the approaching fighter. If it were j-10 and j-11, it would have been discovered long ago.

The question is, how many j-20s are there?

There is no time to figure out this issue, and there is no need. After all, the Chinese Air Force does not have many J-20s in service, and usually only twelve aircraft can be guaranteed to be launched at most.

Taro Arakawa did not hesitate and immediately ordered the F-2 fleet to turn to the Diaoyu Islands, allowing the fighter jets that had dropped the anti-ship missiles to perform escort missions. Immediately afterwards, he issued orders to the four F-22s returning and six F-22s who had completed tactical reconnaissance missions to support the F-2 fleet at full speed to ensure that the attack aircraft fleet can successfully reach the near the Diaoyu Islands.

Obviously, Taro Arakawa decided to take a gamble.

At this time, the correct choice is to let all f-2s throw away the plug-in and return as quickly as possible to avoid fighting with enemy aircraft that take the initiative.

But Taro Arakawa did not do this, obviously he was not stingy with expensive anti-ship missiles.

Compared with anti-ship missiles, fighter jets are more expensive, and anti-ship missiles are redundant, but fighter jets do not. If too many fighter jets are lost in combat, even if there are hundreds of anti-ship missiles in the ammunition depot, it will not come in handy, and it is even more impossible to turn the situation around.

In addition, pilots are much more important than anti-ship missiles.

If the morale of the troops is taken into account, the attacked fighter jets should be retreated.

The question is, what can I do if I remove it?

Although I didn't know how many F-2s were lost at that time, Taro Arakawa knew that the Chinese Air Force's air defense fighter jets would never be ruthless.

This battle cannot end in a draw, it must be a life-and-death battle.

In order to cover the fleet, air defense fighters must do their best.

Taro Arakawa even believed that if he changed his position, the Japanese pilot would even use up all ammunition and hit the invading enemy planes.

Obviously, Chinese pilots also have this determination.

Compared with j-20, the performance of f-2 is far worse. Not only is it not as maneuverable as it can be, but it can't even compare with speed.

If f-2 throws away the plug-in, it may not be possible to escape.

It can be said that these fighter jets basically go without going back.

Maybe a few fighter planes can escape back, but what's the point?

To deal with the East China Sea Fleet, which has ten warships, six of which are air defense destroyers, a saturation attack requires at least 200 anti-ship missiles, and it is conservatively estimated. Even if half of the F-2s escape back, it will be difficult for the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force to launch another attack.

Taro Arakawa must make every effort to pin his hopes on those f-22s.

As long as the escort fighter jets can arrive in time, even if they cannot immediately expel Chinese fighter jets, they will at least divert their sight.

Of course, Taro Arakawa has to count on not too many j-20s that attack the F-2 fleet.

If there were twelve aircraft, I'm afraid the entire F-2 aircraft fleet would be wiped out before the F-22 arrived.

Given the situation at that time, except for not allowing the F-2 fleet to evacuate immediately, Taro Arakawa's other tactical decisions were correct, such as allowing the F-2 that threw away the plug-in when evading to face the Chinese fighter jets, and covering the F-2 that didn't throw away the plug-in to continue to perform the strike mission.

At this time, the pilot of the f-2 showed high combat qualities or courage.

At that time, in addition to the shot down F-2, seven F-2s threw away the plug-in items when evading, and these seven fighters made due contributions.

Although the seven F-2s are not the opponents of four J-20s at all, even if the number is doubled, it may not necessarily gain the upper hand in fighting air combat. After all, the F-2 is a multi-purpose fighter amplified on the basis of the F-16. When both size and weight increase, the F-16 engine still uses a significantly reduced maneuverability. Not only can it not be compared with the J-20, but in a very rhythmic air combat, these seven F-2s can gain at least a few minutes. When the F-22 arrives, even if there are only four, the J-20 team led by Yan Yingbo will have to let go of the fleeing F-2s and face the F-22.

Of course, Yan Yingbo also has support.

Before launching the pl-12d at the F-2 aircraft group, he reported the situation and immediately surpassed the early warning aircraft and fleet in accordance with the rules of engagement, and called nearby fighter jets to come to participate in the war.

However, the four closest J-20s have flew away with the early warning plane.

The j-11b aircraft group that had accompanied Yan Ying's fight before was facing the f-15j aircraft group. The second air defense fighter aircraft group was more than 200 kilometers above the East China Sea Fleet.

At that time, the only thing Yan Yingbo could count on was the four j-20s that had previously intercepted the reconnaissance mission.

If these four J-20s follow the F-22, there will be no big gap in military strength at least. The experience and quality of ace pilots such as Yan Yingbo can make up for the gap in quantity.

However, by this time, the air battle between Yan Yingba is no longer the focus.

After receiving the message from Yan Yingbo, Yang Yufang immediately asked the kj-2000 to turn and fly to the Diaoyu Islands, extending the fleet's air defense detection network eastward.

At that time, Yang Yufang didn't know that two F-22s were flying towards this side.

His purpose is very simple, to let the kj-2000 track and monitor the turning f-2s in order to reorganize the air defense network and arrange fighter jets to intercept.

Fortunately, from beginning to end, there are four j-20s accompanying kj-2000.

At 10:42, the kj-2000 detected an invading enemy aircraft, but it was not an F-2 aircraft group, but two very weak reflected signals. The radar operator immediately concluded that it was a Japanese F-22.

Now, the situation has become complicated.

Under threat, the captain of the kj-2000 turned to avoid without asking for instructions. The two j-20s that were flying immediately stepped forward to fight, while the other two followed the kj-2000 to avoid.

After all, by this time, no one knows how many f-22s the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force has dispatched.

If there are still several F-22s nearby, interception forces must be reserved.

Because the fleet is in the west, relying solely on the radar on the kj-2000, it can only determine the direction of the f-22 and cannot measure the exact distance, so the two j-20s facing each other activated the fire control radar.

Now, the Japanese pilots also knew that there were two Chinese J-20 fighter jets ahead.

Continue to search for the East China Sea Fleet or face Chinese fighter jets?

The Japanese pilot did not make a decision without authorization, but instead asked the commander in the rear.

If there were still f-22s in the air at that time, even if there was only one, Taro Arakawa would have let these two f-22s fight, but there were no extra f-22s in the air. Even if it took off urgently, it would take half an hour to arrive. The East China Sea Fleet is likely to slip away during this period.

As the only tactical reconnaissance force, Taro Arakawa would not let them do anything else.

You know, he has already made a desperate bet. If he cannot find the East China Sea Fleet, he will not be able to launch an attack, and all the previous losses are meaningless.

As a result, the two f-22s did not fight against the j-20, but continued to assault westward with the fastest speed of Mach two.

In order to emphasize the importance of the mission, Taro Arakawa even directly ordered two pilots to assault west at full speed through voice communication, and activated the fire control radar after arriving over the Diaoyu Islands.

During this period, the f-22 also increased the flight altitude from 5,500 meters to 12,000 meters, thereby increasing the radar's sea detection distance by 50%.

At 10:44, the two F-22s activated the fire control radar at the same time.

It is not the air search and tracking mode, but the sea search mode.

The purpose is very clear: find the East China Sea Fleet.

Just one minute later, two J-20s were 40 kilometers away and locked the targets with fire control radar, and then each fired two pl-12d at each target.

The Japanese fighter planes did not evade, but continued to fly westward.

The radar alarm plane on the f-22 must have issued an alarm, but the Japanese pilot executed the order very faithfully.

At this moment, the F-22 discovered the East China Sea Fleet more than 100 kilometers away, and then sent tactical intelligence through the tactical data link.

This is the final and greatest contribution made by the two F-22s.

Less than ten seconds after sending out the battlefield intelligence, two F-22s were hit by pl-12d one after another. Because they were hit by multiple missiles at the same time, the two Japanese pilots did not even have the chance to jump.

Anyway, Arakawa Taro's desperate actions received a report.
Chapter completed!
