"This is the current boundary line between the two sides."
While waiting for the enemy to arrive, Wang Yu took a moment to take a look at the surrounding scenery.
Viewed from the air, the surroundings of the Round Table airspace are not densely covered with lush rivers, nor prosperous and fertile, but a desolate and empty plain of dim yellow with almost no outstanding colors.
He tried to look into the distance, but only saw the monotonous scene of the Round Table airspace. He tried to find a specific boundary that could distinguish the current control areas of Asia and Orillia, but he failed.
He couldn't help but sigh: "When marked with red and blue lines on the map, you can clearly see the control areas of both sides, but if you look down from a high altitude at this time, these countries actually don't have much influence.
Difference, isn't it?"
"It's not like the line of control or the national border is a visible 'line'..." Murong Lan casually responded to Wang Yu's sigh, "The so-called border line is just a symbolic existence."
"So I just sighed casually."
While they were chatting these words, the enemy planes had already approached the airspace around them.
However, Asia's fighter planes are not all in one large formation, but are scattered.
After all, considering the purpose of patrol, there is enough distance between them, and they exist in a two-plane/four-plane formation with a distance of about ten to twenty kilometers.
There are three such small formations in total, including two two-plane formations and one four-plane formation.
These three small formations are distributed around the Ghost Squadron, but their formation blocks the way for the Ghost Squadron to enter the round table. There are eight fighters in total. If the Ghost Squadron ignores their existence and directly enters the round table airspace,
They will definitely hit you from behind.
Therefore, before entering the Round Table airspace, the priority needs to be to shoot down or expel these three patrol formations of the Asia Air Force.
After the enemy approached, the Ghost Squadron believed that it could not attack all the enemies. After all, the possibility of overturning was very high in three against eight, so it was necessary to shoot down the enemies in batches before they gathered.
At this time, a two-plane formation was closest to the Ghost Squadron, located due south, with about ten kilometers left.
Another two-plane formation is located 20 kilometers southeast of the Ghost Squadron, and the last four-plane formation is located 25 kilometers east of the Ghost Squadron. The complex electromagnetic environment in the round table airspace greatly reduces the performance of the radar. These
Asia fighters cannot achieve beyond visual range attacks, so if they want to intercept the Ghost Squadron, they must get close to within visual range.
Therefore, Wang Yu, as the leader, decided that his squadron would be the first to attack the enemy's two-plane formation in the south.
After taking care of them as quickly as possible, turn to the two-plane formation in the southeast, and finally turn around to attack the largest enemy formation on the east side.
Such a plan can prevent the Ghost Squadron from facing the enemy's numerical advantage during battle.
While Wang Yu led the team to face the enemy's double aircraft formation in the south, the enemy formations had already discovered the enemy entering this airspace after being notified by the early warning aircraft, and they were also ready to attack.
Theoretically, they should gather together first and then use their numerical advantage to fight.
However, these Asia pilots consider that the distance between their own formations is not very far. In the airspace conditions of our own, when any formation is attacked, they can get support from other formations.
It is not easy for enemy planes to shoot them down quickly, so no matter who comes into contact with the enemy planes in the first wave, as long as there is a slight delay, they can wait until friendly forces arrive, and then they can naturally annihilate all invading enemies. p>
And in addition to their tactical arrangements, there is another reason why Asia did not gather first...
"Is there something wrong with my radar or am I dazzled?"
One of the pilots of the southern two-plane formation asked on their channel, "Only three enemy planes were seen on the situation map. They are coming towards us - um, is Orillia going crazy? Just send three fighter planes."
Want to invade our tightly guarded Round Table airspace?"
"There is no problem with the radar. They indeed only have three fighters." Another pilot said, "The intelligence from the early warning aircraft showed that they were two Su-37s and one F-15 of unknown model. With such a chaotic formation, could it be possible?
It's..."
"Is it the special squadron of the Orillia Federation? The secret ace who shot down a large number of our pilots?"
"They are not aces. Their background checks have been cleared up above. These three fighters and their pilots are a serious mercenary team of E&P Security Company. Their nature and the other pilots hired by Orillia are
It’s the same, just taking people’s money and working for them.”
Since the Asia Federation also has an intelligence agency, after the mission to attack the Rock Base and prevent Orillia from retaking the railway line failed, they devoted all their efforts to investigate this strange squadron that shot down a large number of their aircraft.
As a result, they checked and found that although this unit had the designation of the Aurelia Air Force, it looked serious.
But it is actually a mercenary flying force employed by the Orillia military.
So they told their pilots the news.
So the pilots on Asia's side spread the news, and naturally they all knew about the enemy squadrons that were killing all sides on the frontline battlefield. They thought that the Orillia Federation was a powerful secret force, but in fact they looked down on it at all.
mercenaries.
As a result, the pilots of the Asia Federation suddenly had a complicated emotion.
Ordinary Asia pilots feel that the mercenaries are better than them, so they are very embarrassed. However, this scene is a typical "although I feel very unhappy but can't find a reason to refute", so they can only treat this mercenary
The squadron cursed and prayed that they would not encounter this Orillia mercenary squadron on the battlefield.
As for Asia's slightly more powerful pilot, it's another idea.
They think that their skills are excellent, so they can see certain things more clearly - the so-called victory of that mercenary team is just a more powerful mercenary from a large security company, using their combat skills, shamelessly
Relying on sneak attacks to massacre friendly rookies with no skills is nothing more than worth mentioning.
When they meet skilled pilots like us who have experienced many battles, their so-called strong disguise will naturally fall apart.
Especially now.
The Asia pilots currently flying in the round table airspace all claim to be the proud ones of heaven, and the idea that the strength of the mercenary squadron is just a so-called "disguise" is even more intense.
"But they did shoot down a large number of our fighter planes. Previous battle reports..."
Listening to his teammates, an Asia pilot hesitated for a moment before saying: "They were present in both operations of Orillia... Our battle report did not analyze that without them, we would not necessarily have failed.
..."
"That's just our people being careless because of their mercenary status."
The captain of the southern two-plane formation snorted and interrupted the young Asia pilot: "I don't deny that these damn mercenaries have some skills, but this is not an airspace that can be approached with some skills. This is the 'Round Table'
', is a stage where only real elite pilots can participate. This mercenary team is simply too arrogant. After just a few victories, they feel like they are invincible, and now they dare to come directly to this airspace." p>
"Ha, that's right."
The pilots of another two-plane formation were speeding towards this airspace and said in the channel: "Mercenaries, they have no idea that this is the sky where only pilots with the real potential to become aces can fight!"<
/p>
The Ghost Squadron cannot hear such words at this time, but if they can hear it, they will definitely have a strange expression.
You still think you are an ace with potential, but we are already preparing to become an ace for the second time.
Happy.
"Don't be afraid. Entering the round table airspace will only be a stain for mercenaries who have no faith. Pilots are the pride of heaven, how can they become mercenaries who are blinded by money." p>
"Then we will let this become their burial ground." The captain of the southern twin-jet Asia flight formation said coldly on the channel, "No. 2, follow me, the two of us will go and hold them back first."<
/p>
"Understood, mercenaries on the other side, please listen carefully. If you want to defeat our illusion, you can only rely on fantasy!"
The two fighters in the southern formation are Mirage 2000 fighters.
The No. 2 aircraft of this formation made some bold remarks directly on the public channel.
Amidst their rhetoric, two single-engine delta-wing fighters rushed head-on towards the Ghost Squadron, which was approaching at high speed.
Although they were two against three, they knew that their friendly forces were nearby, and their mission was just to hold off the enemy and create opportunities for the friendly fighters that would follow.
…………
The Ghost Squadron itself planned to attack these two boastful Mirage 2000 fighters, naturally because they were the closest.
After all, they were not connected to the public frequency and could not hear their taunts at all.
"No. 2 and No. 3, follow me. Our total numbers are at a disadvantage. Don't give them the chance to overwhelm them. Take advantage of the fact that the enemy planes have not yet merged into one place. Try your best to shoot them down in batches.
”
"You are the captain, we will all follow you." Luo Yu promised: "The radar is not very easy to use. It seems that we will directly enter the melee battle. We will rely more on Zhan Ji's ability to shoot down these two people within three rounds of exchange.
Set up enemy planes."
"Why within three rounds?" Liu Lingxin asked curiously.
"Based on a simple calculation of the closing rate and speed of both sides...the time consumed by three rounds is exactly the time for another enemy squadron to arrive in the combat airspace, so if we shoot down the first batch of enemies within three rounds, we can immediately turn around.
The second batch of targets."
"So that's it..." Liu Lingxin nodded in understanding.
"Well...actually this is a situational issue that pilots need to consider..." Wang Yu said briefly to Liu Lingxin, and then he immediately said: "The target is head-on, thirteen kilometers, altitude six thousand, two Mirage 2000s, I will take the lead
Enter the scene. After a round of firefight, No. 2 and No. 3 will fire additional shots. Don’t get too close to me. If the enemy’s attention is attracted by my intrusion, this is your opportunity.”
In order to speed up the killing of enemies, they must cooperate seamlessly.
Wang Yu will take the lead in facing the two enemy fighters, launching an attack on the enemy while avoiding the most dangerous first wave of enemy attacks, while Luo Yu and Murong Lan need to follow the two fighters in a suitable position. If the enemy is the first
If Bo consumes energy or turns around to track Wang Yu's fighter plane, then they must seize the best time to attack.
It's easy to say, but the requirements for formation combat are actually quite strict.
For example, both parties must cooperate tacitly, create attack opportunities for their teammates, and at the same time seize the opportunities created by their teammates for themselves.
However, the battle-hardened Ghost Squadron is currently capable of handling this matter.
"Understood." Luo Yu and Murong Lan responded one after another, and then the two fighter planes quickly pulled away from the formation to both sides, and moved slightly away from Wang Yu's fighter plane to ensure observation of the combat situation.
Wang Yu also adjusted his combat posture. The missile was ready, the radar mode was set, and the throttle was filled up to supplement the speed of the fighter plane, approaching the enemy plane with a greater closing rate - the greater the relative speed, the less chance it would have for the enemy plane.
The attack space also increases the difficulty for enemy aircraft to hit after attacking you.
At the same time that the Ghost Squadron entered the battle formation, the enemy Phantom 2000 twin-plane squadron also entered visual range.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The electromagnetic environment can no longer affect the radars of both fighters, so after entering the visual range, the radars of both sides, which had already been set to ACM mode, captured the opponent's fighters immediately and established a firm lock.
At this distance, the difference between good and bad radar is actually not very big. Anyway, the target is very big and can be locked on when you aim it.
The Mirage 2000 of the Asia pilot launched the missile first.
Erin gave a warning, the missile was launched at the extreme visual range, and there was only one shot.
"Missiles are coming, avoid them."
Wang Yu said to himself calmly.
He knew that the enemy plane wanted to use a missile to force him to evade and lose energy.
This must be the enemy's purpose, and it is also a way for the enemy to gain an advantage in battle.
However, Wang Yu's skills are enough to allow them to avoid such missiles that are not a big threat from long distances, but still maintain sufficient energy to support the next battle.
I saw Wang Yu's fighter plane change directions several times quickly and lightly. He used the most energy-saving method to pull the enemy missile to the largest off-axis angle. Therefore, Luo Yu and Murong Lan behind only saw Wang Yu's silence.
The eagle leaped lightly from side to side, and the enemy plane's missiles were already very slow the moment they approached.
When Wang Yu made his last small turn and continued to throw bait, the missile missed the target.
After Wang Yu used this evasive action that could only be done theoretically to evade the missile, he actually continued to close the distance between the two sides, and immediately regrouped the moment after completing the evasion, and continued to accelerate towards the enemy.
.
In this space, both sides flew head-on at high speed, and the distance between them shortened instantly.
Seeing the increasingly obvious enemy planes appearing in his field of vision, Wang Yu gave a brief explanation to Luo Yu and Murong Lan.
Then he pressed the launch button, and the fighter plane that had already locked on fired a missile at lightning speed.
At the same time, Luo Yu and Murong Lan closely judged the enemy plane's evasive direction based on the content displayed on the Hud.
The enemy fired two missiles at Wang Yu again and began to evade.
In Wang Yu's view, their skills were slightly better than those of the previous Asia pilots. They chose the right time to avoid and successfully avoided the incoming missiles.
At this time, because the distance was closer, Wang Yu also had to use a larger angle evasion strategy to avoid the missiles, so he cooperated with shallow dives, left and right high-G sharp turns, and successfully got rid of these two missiles -
If these two missiles were launched at him one after another, he might be in a little trouble and would need the support of Luo Yu and Murong Lan from behind. However, the time difference between the attacks of these two missiles is not much, so one wave of evasion can kill them all.
Get out of the way.
The enemy planes had skills, but not much - one missile forced both of them to evade, so they were unable to maintain suppression of Wang Yu while evading the missiles.
After they adjusted the angle of the fighter plane, Wang Yu's Silent Eagle had successfully dragged off the last period of time and successfully approached them.
Upon seeing this, the Phantom fighter pilots of the Asia Federation quickly exchanged a few words on the channel, and then decisively came forward.
The air combat instantly entered a dogfight state.
