.After receiving the battlefield information sent by F-22a, any sensible commander should know that the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force's attack is at the end of its strength. Even if the F-2 aircraft group arrives in the attack airspace and successfully launches missiles, it is difficult to ensure that the East China Sea Fleet is severely damaged.

The reason is very simple. At this time, Taro Arakawa had already figured out the situation. Among the sixty F-2s, only twenty-seven were not thrown out. In other words, even if the anti-ship missiles on these fighter jets could be successfully launched, there were only one hundred and eight anti-ship missiles that could be used to attack the East China Sea Fleet.

This missile cannot break through the East China Sea Fleet's air defense and anti-missile system.

It would be even more impossible if the air defense fighter jets that provide direct cover for the East China Sea Fleet.

You should know that the efficiency of fighter jets using medium-range air-to-air missiles to intercept subsonic anti-ship missiles is far greater than that of air defense missiles, and it is almost accurate to each one at a time.

Even if there is only one squadron of air defense fighter jets that directly cover the East China Sea Fleet, it means that at least 72 anti-ship missiles can be used in anti-missile interception, and the hit rate will not be less than 80%. Excluding this part, at most, only about 40 anti-ship missiles can attack the East China Sea Fleet.

For six air defense destroyers, intercepting forty subsonic anti-ship missiles is definitely not a problem.

However, by this time, Taro Arakawa had lost his mind.

After paying a huge price, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force gave up the attack opportunity that he had finally obtained. Not to mention Taro Arakawa would not be willing to be willing, I am afraid Kobayashi Koichi would not let him go.

In his opinion, the purpose of attacking the East China Sea Fleet has changed.

It is no longer annihilation of the East China Sea Fleet, but to prove that the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force is capable of attacking the East China Sea Fleet, even if it only hurts a large warship.

Whether a large warship can be injured depends not on the number of missiles, but on luck.

If you are lucky enough, even if you only have one anti-ship missile, you may injure a large warship.

However, the battlefield situation is far from so ideal.

After intercepting the invading F-22a, the two J-20s did not return to the team, but instead went to intercept the F-2 aircraft group according to the information provided by Yan Yingbo.

This is understandable. When intercepting the F-22a, the two J-20s used four pl-12d each. If there were still F-22a in the air, their role could be played very limited. It would be better to use precious ammunition to intercept Japanese attack aircraft and contribute to the fleet's air defense.

It was not the pilot of the j-20 that made this decision, but Yang Yufang.

By this time, there were twelve F-22a attacks on the East China Sea Fleet, and twenty had participated in air defense operations near Okinawa. Therefore, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force had used thirty-two F-22a. According to the intelligence provided by the Second Division, there were only three squadrons of the F-22a deployed at Kadena Air Base, and one of the squadrons lost four F-22a in the battle in the early morning of the 29th.

In other words, there is no extra f-22a at Kadena Air Base.

Unless dispatched from the local area, there is no f-22a that can be used to attack early warning aircraft.

Of course, there is also the possibility of dispatching from the local area. After all, after receiving air refueling, the maximum combat radius of the f-22a exceeds 2,000 kilometers, and it can completely take off from Japan to join the war. However, the attack operation of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force was obviously affected, and there was definitely no dispatch of combat aircraft from the local area. The emergency take-off F-22a will not arrive until two hours later.

To be on the safe side, Yang Yufang left two j-20s to cover the kj-2000, while the other two went to intercept the f-2 fleet.

At the same time, twelve j-10a that provided direct cover for the East China Sea Fleet.

Because the combat radius of j-10a is far less than that of jb and the air stagnation time is shorter, the Air Force arranged for j-10a to provide air defense cover for the fleet, and jb performs forward air defense interception tasks.

According to Yang Yufang's arrangement, the twelve j-10a were divided into three teams and flew to the Diaoyu Islands.

In order to support these twelve fighter jets, the kj-2000 did not fly west after flying over the Diaoyu Islands, but hovered about fifty kilometers west of the Diaoyu Islands.

In other words, the early warning aircraft is between the Diaoyu Islands and the East China Sea Fleet.

In this way, at least 50 kilometers of the fleet's air defense interception network can be extended eastward.

Fifty kilometers are crucial for combat intercepting anti-ship missiles, as this means that it can add about three minutes of combat preparation time to the fleet.

Obviously, it is almost impossible for the F-2 aircraft fleet to successfully launch anti-ship missiles.

At this time, Yang Yufang made a mistake.

It can be said that in this air defense battle, Lieutenant General Yang Yufang, who was born in HNA, played a very high tactical qualities. He not only accurately judged the enemy's battle intentions, but also performed very well in the tactical command link, applying air defense fighters to the extreme.

However, as an ordinary person, Yang Yufang inevitably neglected.

This negligence is that it is wrong to judge the anti-ship missile used by the F-2.

Although the Second Ministry provided intelligence, Japanese Minister of Defense Taichiro Kida signed an arms contract with the United States during his visit to Washington, not only introduced electromagnetic confrontation systems for the F-22a, as well as the Ai20d missiles with electromagnetic confrontation capabilities, but also introduced a batch of new anti-ship missiles. However, when formulating the combat plan, Yang Yufang and others, to be precise, were his combat staff ignored this intelligence and judged that the F-2 carried Japan's self-made Type 88 anti-ship missiles, and based on this, an air defense interception plan was formulated.

This misjudgment has a very big impact.

The maximum range of the air-launched model of the Type 88 anti-ship missile is only 150 kilometers, and its performance is comparable to that of the ag4g. The ag4m provided by the United States to Japan. Although this missile is also an improved model of the ag4, the biggest improvement is that it adds an electromagnetic countermeasure system, which can launch passive attacks in a harsh electromagnetic environment and will not be affected by electromagnetic weapons. However, other aspects have also been improved, such as using sea-skipping flight trajectory throughout the journey, rather than climbing to a high altitude for dive attacks about twenty kilometers away from the target, and using a more efficient turbofan engine to increase the range to 220 kilometers without increasing fuel.

In this way, even in order to attack the entire fleet, the F-2 fleet can launch anti-ship missiles from 200 kilometers away.

According to the fleet's air defense deployment, the fighter jets that departed only need to intercept enemy aircraft that approached about 150 kilometers.

More importantly, early warning aircraft that support air defense fighter combat are also deployed backwards, so it is difficult to detect f-2 aircraft groups approaching from ultra-low altitude in time, and it is impossible to adjust tactics in time.

If you cannot intercept enemy planes, you can only intercept anti-ship missiles.

Obviously, the latter is much more difficult and cannot ensure that there is no accident.

Fortunately, Yang Yufang's intuition played a role.

When the j-10a aircraft group left, two j-20s had already left, and when the early warning aircraft could not provide guidance, they both activated the fire control radar.

Although the fire control radar of j-20 can only detect f-22a more than 60 kilometers away, and it must approach about 40 kilometers before tracking, it has no stealth ability to deal with f-2, and even if there is a height difference of more than 10,000 meters, the maximum detection distance is more than 200 kilometers.

The result is that j-20 discovered the f-2 machine group in time.

However, at that time, the two J-20 pilots did not know that the F-2 was carrying ag4m, so they believed that the F-2 aircraft group would not launch anti-ship missiles about fifty kilometers east of the Diaoyu Islands.

Before the F-2 launches the anti-ship missile, all the two J-20s can do is to launch the remaining pl-12d and then report the enemy's whereabouts to the early warning aircraft.

Of course, these two j-20s did not withdraw from the battle, but continued to fight.

Like Yan Yingba's idea, the two pilots were very confident and using j-20 to deal with f-2 was simply a good idea.

At 10:48, Yang Yufang received the news that the F-2 fleet was scattered about 100 kilometers west of the Diaoyu Islands. Just two minutes later, the pilot of the J-20 sent another message that the F-2 fleet launched anti-ship missiles, eighty kilometers away from the Diaoyu Islands, and all anti-ship missiles.

Now, Yang Yu suddenly came to his senses.

It is meaningless to intercept the F-2 fleet, and it can only intercept anti-ship missiles fired at the East China Sea Fleet.

At 10:50, twelve J-10a pilots received clear instructions: to intercept anti-ship missiles approaching the sea with all their might.

However, the two J-20s did not participate in the battle to intercept missiles, but instead tried their best to eliminate the f-2 that turned to escape.

The reason is that these two J-20s used up all pl-12d and pl and did not make much contribution in the battle to intercept anti-ship missiles.

In addition, Yang Yufang did not order the j-20 to intercept anti-ship missiles.

After being attacked by J-20, there were only twenty-three F-2s that successfully launched anti-ship missiles, and four of them were shot down when they were launching missiles. Therefore, there were less than ninety anti-ship missiles fired at the East China Sea Fleet, which was far from reaching the upper limit of air defense and anti-missile interception.

If it can shoot down the attack ability.

It can be said that chasing F-2 is also of great significance.

It must be admitted that Yang Yufang was very confident and did not even take the attacking anti-ship missile seriously.

However, more than 80 anti-ship missiles are definitely a big threat.

During the peripheral interception, twelve j-10a fighters out their full strength and only shot down fifty-seven anti-ship missiles.

The key is not the means by which fighter jets intercept anti-ship missiles, but time.

The locking distance of the j-10a's fire control radar for anti-ship missiles flying by sea is about 30 kilometers, while the reaction time of the fire control system is eight seconds. It takes 20 seconds for the pl-12 to be launched to hit the target. However, it takes less than two minutes for the anti-ship missile to fly 30 kilometers. Therefore, j-10a only has two chances of firing, that is, use pl-12 first and then use pl, and then you have to pursue the anti-ship missile.

Obviously, the pursuit is not very realistic.

Behind is the East China Sea Fleet, and the maximum range of long-range air defense missiles on the air defense destroyer is as high as 120 kilometers.

Although when dealing with anti-ship missiles flying by sea, due to the curvature of the earth's surface, the maximum locking distance of the air defense radar on the destroyer will not exceed 40 kilometers, as long as the early warning aircraft is supported, the destroyer can use the target information provided by the early warning aircraft to expand the air defense interception area to 120 kilometers.

At this time, air defense missiles operate in an active way.

In order to avoid accidental attacks, air defense fighters must not enter the fleet's air defense network.

As a result, when J-10a withdraws from combat, there are still thirty-six anti-ship missiles flying towards the East China Sea Fleet.

At 10:52, the Lanzhou sounded the air defense alarm.

At this time, Mu Haoyang also came to the flagship air defense combat command center.
