Under the threat of Custer fighter planes, Yin Mulan's two remaining attack planes could not escape their range.
Seeing that the two fleeing Su-25s were about to be attacked, the four Flankers suddenly seemed to have discovered something, gave up the idea of continuing the cross-border attack, and started to retreat.
"It's the Yinmulan fighter plane that has arrived."
Wang Yu looked at the interface that combined sa (situational awareness) and hsd (horizontal status display) that occupied one side of the screen. The synchronized data from the early warning aircraft was displayed here. Then he noticed the mark of the approaching Yin Mulan fighter jet.
.
"The Yin Mulan people move very fast."
Liu Lingxin looked at the direction where Yin Mulan's fighter plane appeared in surprise.
Under the observation of the pilots and weapons controllers of the Jizhou Squadron, six "Fierce Dragon" fighter jets of the Yin Mulan Air Force attacked menacingly from high altitudes. They used their excellent radar's downward-looking function to directly launch a merciless counterattack.<
/p>
As if for free, several missiles hit the Castor Su-27, which was showing off its power at the border.
Wang Yu used his excellent eyesight and Eileen's report to even see missiles crossing the battlefield.
Within seconds, a Flanker fighter jet from Custer's side that was moving away could be seen being hit.
After the opponent made a few awkward adjustments, it was really impossible to save the fighter plane that was almost out of control. Finally, a burst of white smoke rose from the cockpit. A moment later, an umbrella flower unfolded in mid-air, and the Flanker fighter plane directly hit it.
In a field planted with crops, a raging fire broke out after the explosion.
The remaining three Flankers lowered their altitude without hesitation, and used dive and afterburner to escape at ultra-low altitude, causing a commotion.
The Yimlan people tried to attack again, but due to the hindrance of the low-altitude double debuff added to the tail, they did not succeed.
Wang Yu could even imagine the anger of the pilot in Yin Mulan's fighter plane.
Therefore, after Custer took the advantage and retreated voluntarily, this "air friction" came to an end.
The Jizhou Squadron immediately turned away from the border and returned to the base.
This is a sudden battle, but it is not a true air battle.
The first half is about Custer randomly killing Yin Mulan's attack aircraft, and the second half is about Yin Mulan's counterattack.
The fighter planes of both sides did not engage in direct combat.
But the losses on both sides were real. Custer crashed an expensive Flanker fighter, while Yinlan lost two high-quality and low-priced attack aircraft. The purchase price of a fully equipped Su-27
It's enough to buy three late-model Su-25s - perhaps from this point of view, Yin Mulan's exchange ratio was quite profitable in today's battle.
But if you think about it carefully, Yin Mulan's pilot crashed and died together with the fighter plane, while Custer's pilot parachuted to escape. As long as there is a new fighter plane, he can be stuffed into it and fly again. From this look, Yin Mulan is simply
Big loss.
After all, a pilot is always worth more than an airplane.
Especially as pilot training becomes more and more difficult, a mature pilot will always be worth more than an aircraft.
So overall, the Yin Mulan people should be more painful.
In the eyes of the outside world, such as the Jizhou Squadron and other imperial officers in Yin Mulan, the battle that broke out over the border today was the first official collision of the air power of the two sides.
The previous air conflicts were just a method of using radar to lock and expel each other, just like the air forces on both sides gesticulating with each other with cold weapons, but today's battle has elevated the cold confrontation to a real hot confrontation.
Likewise, this is also the first air battle between the two sides with casualties.
All in all, the outbreak of this battle is indeed a bit unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it is expected.
This represents a further increase in friction between the two sides, and also means that war is inevitable.
Although the transition from friction to hot conflict is not worth mentioning, it represents the prelude to gradually developing into a full-scale war.
And the development process often only happens in a blink of an eye.
For the current Yimlan people, they need to speed up preparations for war.
For the imperial pilots located in Yin Mulan, they must also continue to observe the form.
"Sir, look over there."
After the fighter plane stopped and the canopy opened, Wang Yu was about to turn over and leave the cockpit when Liu Lingxin suddenly grabbed his arm and motioned for him to look to the side.
The direction she pointed was the location of the No. 2 aircraft of the Jizhou Squadron.
That is Wenxuan's fighter plane.
Wang Yu looked over and found that Wenxuan was standing face to face with the guy named Chen Hui in the back seat of him. Then the two sides solemnly saluted and then shook hands, as if they were holding some kind of ceremony. Then they finished shaking hands and each put on a pair of sunglasses, and that was the end.
Wang Yu looked at the sky, which was approaching dusk, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
These two are messing around...
"I've been paying attention to them for a long time..." Liu Lingxin said next to Wang Yu, "I don't understand what they are doing."
"Hey! Wenxuan!" Wang Yu shouted to the other side.
He subconsciously followed this sentence with "Your days of wearing sunglasses indiscriminately are over, give them to me."
But luckily he held back.
Wenxuan walked over here.
So Wang Yu took the initiative to ask: "What did you mean by that operation with your back seat just now?"
Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, then took off his sunglasses and smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to express my pleasure in cooperating with the back seat. After all, we are partners on the same fighter plane."
Wang Yu: "..."
Is this necessary to express happy cooperation?
Judging from your serious appearance, it looks like some kind of cult ritual.
He turned his head and looked at Liu Lingxin, who was also confused. Well, it seems that this girl doesn't quite understand either.
Wenxuan chatted casually for a few more words and then left.
"Well... do we need this?" Wang Yu asked subconsciously.
"Probably...it's not necessary." Liu Lingxin took off her helmet and touched her hair.
The two were silent for a moment, and then Wang Yu said: "I'm going to conduct a mission report, will you come with me?"
"Well, let's forget it for today..." Liu Lingxin showed a faint smile and shook her head slightly, "I'm a little tired. I'll go back and take a shower before I'm ready to rest."
Wang Yu didn’t ask any more questions.
This topic is indeed difficult to answer.
He took the lead in flipping out of the cockpit, returned to the ground along the boarding ladder, put the helmet into the helmet bag and handed it to the ground crew, and then looked at Liu Lingxin who followed him out of the fighter plane.
Just when he was about to leave, he said as if something suddenly occurred to him: "By the way, I almost forgot, I sent some things from China. I remember you need them. Please take time to come to my place in the evening."
."
Liu Lingxin tilted her head and nodded: "Yes, I understand."
"That's it."
Wang Yu waved his hand, got in the car and left in the direction of the main building of the base.
