As Soryu's two anti-ship missiles hit the Salam one after another, the Iranian navy's light frigate sank in the high seas of the Persian Gulf after being hit twice. At the same time, other formation aircraft also hit Four speedboats were hit and sank one after another.
After doing all this, the people of the Air Force finally let out a bad breath. The coastline has been blocked by the Iranian navy for a long time. This kind of frustration can be imagined.
But at this moment, a fighter jet from Iran suddenly appeared on the radar of the formation in front. At the same time, the Basra guidance brigade also spotted an Iranian fighter jet flying towards them. Xiami waited intently, but saw the "fire" of an air defense missile. The program cannot cover that far,
In the end, we can only judge what kind of fighter it is based on the speed and performance of the opponent's aircraft, and give the results to the Air Force.
"Ten enemy planes appeared on the radar screen, and it was determined that they might be Phantom fighters.)" Xiami directly connected to the Air Force headquarters, [
Aziz, who was taking command, quickly gave this information to the combat aircraft, but the combat aircraft that received the news did not care. Most of the Iranian Air Force's fighter planes were American-made products. This was before the revolution in Iran. At that time, the Shah of Iran bought it from the Americans,
At that time, Iran and the United States were in the honeymoon period, so the US military even sold its best F-14 Tomcat fighter jets to Iran. Iran was also the only country in the world besides the United States to own F-14 fighter jets, which was considered the most powerful at the time. Advanced,
But since the revolution in Iran, because the main fighter aircraft are from the United States, many aircraft have been in disrepair and have low combat effectiveness. This is something that cannot be helped. After all, aircraft need regular maintenance, and some parts will inevitably be replaced during maintenance.
It is difficult for Iran to manufacture these parts by itself. Only the United States in the world has this technology. After the Iran-Iraq War, the overall strength of the Iranian Air Force declined.
There are more than 400 fighter jets in total, 300 of which are made in the United States, and most of them are early aircraft of the US military, such as the F-5F-6F-7. The most advanced one is the F-14, and today the US military has already made these aircraft Two types of fighter jets are retired, and the more technologically mature F15 and F16 are used as the main fighter jets in high and low configurations.
The Iranian Air Force is their old rival. During the Iran-Iraq War, they had never benefited from them. Therefore, the Basra Air Force knows their old enemy very well. Even the latest intelligence tells them that the most advanced fighter jets in Iran's hands are still MiG-29,
It is still an export model. You must know that the export model MiG-29 is very different from the original and ultimate version of the MiG-29 in the hands of the Basra Air Force. In terms of performance, it is definitely much better than the export version.
The most important thing is that there are only ten on the radar screen, but they have thirty. They are still MiG-29s paired with Su-3s. Such advanced Russian-made fighters, as long as they do not fly under the nose of the Iranian Defense Force, they will It is entirely possible to shoot down the ten Iranian fighter jets that took off without losing any of them.
This confidence comes from the judgment of one's own flying skills and the advantages of the aircraft.
However, the radar screen showed that these Iranian fighter jets began to return as soon as they entered their range. Obviously they would not fight this air battle with a disparity in strength, which disappointed the pilots in Basra. Although this I have achieved victory for the first time, but I always feel a little bit unhappy in my heart.
"Attention all formations, start returning." At this moment, Bai Chang suddenly issued an order,
The pilots knew what to do without urging, but at this moment, a voice came from the Bird 1: "Bird formation, Feiyu formation obey the order, half of them will return, and the other half will pursue the enemy aircraft with me."
As soon as this order was finished, Bird 1 started the sound cruise and chased the Iranian plane where it disappeared. All the pilots were stunned. Who did they listen to?
But they soon reacted. Of course, they listened to the prophet. Even if Bai Chang was their supreme commander, he was the biggest prophet in their hearts. And with such an exciting thing, how could they return without participating, but very soon Soon they were faced with another problem: which half would return?
From Canglong's order, they knew very well that the prophet did not understand aerial command, and it was all nonsense. If such an order was given under the threat of enemy planes, it would only reduce their execution rate, thus leading to possible dangers.
But at this moment, Bai Chang spoke: "The first to sixth teams will follow the prophet, and the remaining teams will return to the base."
Everyone heard that their top commander was a little annoyed because the Prophet did not care about anything and chased the enemy plane. In fact, this is a very risky thing. Once it enters the coastal waters of Iran, it will enter the Iranian defense air force. Within the strike range, they will face huge risks by then.
But at this time, they were all excited by the prophet. Even if this battle order was so unwise, they were willing to follow it.
The 7th and 8th teams who received the order to return had no choice but to return to the air force base. Although they were unwilling to do so, they still carried out the order.[
After starting the sound cruise, Bai Chang immediately passed this information to the guidance brigade and the headquarters. At this time, they all broke out in a cold sweat. After all, they were fighting on the high seas and were still far away from Iranian territory, but Now that Canglong has penetrated deep into Iran, this is completely different.
But apart from Nai, they could only provide support to contain the Iranian ground forces. Badr ordered the field division to cross the Shatt al-Arab River and attack Iran.
At the same time, six of the twelve battalions under the Guidance and Brigade Association followed the field division into Iran to increase the coverage of the Guidance Brigade and escort Canglong's upcoming adventure.
But they all knew that although the ground troops were ready for combat, they would definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of the air force. After all, Soryu was flying a plane.
"Boss, what do you want to do?" After catching up with Cang Long, Bai Chang started a separate line conversation.
"Pursue enemy planes and conduct air strikes on Iran." Canglong replied with eight words:
"We have only a few aircraft and bombers, so how can we air strike Iran? This is your personal heroism. Once we start an air battle with Iranian fighter jets in Iran, we will directly become the target of the Iranian air defense force. Let alone the air strike, will we be able to escape?" The answer is just a question." Bai Chang tried to persuade Canglong with the actual situation.
Unfortunately, Canglong is determined: "I don't think this is a heroic idea. I made this decision after getting on the fighter plane, and I think this is the best opportunity for air strikes on Iran. If even you think that air strikes on Iran are It is a dangerous thing, so of course the Iranian Air Force and Air Defense Force will also think so, which gives us the best opportunity to take advantage of its slackness and attack it unprepared."
"I was wrong. You are not just a person of personal heroism. You are an excess of personal heroism. Now we are alone in the depths. With the cooperation of the 6th Army, what can we do if we air attack their military ports? We have bombers, and the losses caused are very important.
Iran said it can be ignored." Bai Chang said, "I think we should go back and take a long-term approach. We must at least notify the Army and let them know our intentions so that they can cooperate with us in combat to achieve the best results."
"Think long term." Canglong sneered, "Don't you think your words are funny? From the time we took control of Basra to now, the enemies around us have given us time to think long term. Now is the time to test the army. If they can't adapt to changes,
, What’s the use of raising them? Do we really need the enemy to invade our territory again and massacre our people before we can fight back?”
Bai Chang stopped talking,
"We should take the initiative. When someone invades our territory, we not only have to repel them, but we must also burn the flames of war on the invaders' heads and let them taste the pain of war. Basra cannot just be beaten. We have
The strategy is deep. Once Iran invades us, the entire Basra will be destroyed." Cang Long calculated an account carefully, "We have a retreat, so we can only attack, and offense is the best defense, and there is a plan for war.
If you seize the opportunity, fight until they surrender."
After hearing this, Bai Chang was silent for a few seconds, and finally gave up persuading and asked: "You have to tell me your strategic intentions and real goals."
"Destroy the Iranian fighter planes, conduct air strikes on Khomeini Military Port, and sink as many warships as possible in the military port." Canglong said,
Hearing this, Bai Chang nodded. Khomeini Port is the Iranian Navy's closest military port to Basra. Once all the warships in Khomeini Port are destroyed, it will be a major blow to the Iranian Navy. After all, Iran only has five in total.
Military ports, each military port has a different sea area,
If one of their military ports is destroyed, the Iranian Navy will inevitably transfer warships from other military ports, which will weaken the Iranian Navy's control of the Persian Gulf. In a sense, Basra will be much easier, at least it will not have to face the Iranian Navy's repeated attacks.
Harassment, and even if the Iranian navy wants to urgently mobilize warships from other military ports to fill the vacancy, it will be difficult, because there is still the US Fifth Fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf, and Iran will never be stupid enough to deal with several other fifth fleets.
The warships in the military port have been mobilized,
Facing the powerful Fifth Fleet of the U.S. Navy, the entire Iranian navy combined is no match, let alone weakening the strength of major military ports and filling the gaps. Emergency purchase or domestically manufactured warships will not be able to gain combat effectiveness immediately.
It also requires long-term training, otherwise it will be a target.
After thinking about it, Bai Chang opened the formation wire communication and quickly notified all units of his intentions. At the same time, he also gave their strategic goals to the general headquarters. As for how the general headquarters handled it, Bai Chang had no control over it.
It doesn't matter whether they marched into Iran to support their attack, because their speed can never keep up with their planes.
The important thing is that they should think about how to get back after the air raid,
But he already had much time to think about it, because they had penetrated deep into Iranian territorial waters, and Iranian retreating fighter jets had been spotted on the radar.
Bai Chang immediately ordered: "The first team, the second team cling to the enemy planes, and must annihilate them all. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth teams, follow the prophet, all advance, and air attack Khomeini Port.
