Ning Lei said that there was no false statement about the hunting time. For the Su22 fighter without radar and only simple photoelectric sighting equipment, there was basically no difference between the blind man in the vast sea and the vast sea without the guidance of the ground and the command of the MiG-23 fighter.

However, the Vietnamese authorities dared to dispatch such a large fleet and left the Su22 fleet behind the MiG23 team alone, which was also related to the Republic Fleet landing on Nanzi Island. For Su22 or even MiG23, it is very difficult to find a fleet running around the ground on the vast sea, but finding a fixed island is still very simple.

After the Chinese Navy laid down several amphibious tanks and landing crafts, the fleet could not be far away from the waters near Nanzi Island. Therefore, the Vietnamese's wishful thinking was based on Nanzi Island. While the island-guarding troops dragged the Chinese landing crafts, it was equivalent to dragging the Chinese naval fleet.

In this way, the Su22 only needs to search within a fixed small range, and the simple shortcomings of its electronic equipment will be greatly weakened. In order to achieve the goal of severely damaging Chinese military forces, the cautious Vietnamese even sent 24 MiG23s to ensure air supremacy in the airspace of Nanzi Island. Including 12 Su22 attack aircraft, the Vietnamese fought a big edge in controlling the scale of the war and dispatched 36 fighters at once. Only 4 more were needed to build a fully-equipped Soviet-made flight regiment.

From the perspective of combat plan, the MiG23 fighters of six teams were put into the battlefield in sequence. Even if they could not immediately seize air supremacy, they could tow the F14 fighter that came from afar without fuel. The Su22 decided on the next action in the rear based on the air situation in the front. This safe combat plan did not have much loopholes.

Throughout the 1980s, world military thought was undergoing rapid changes. Before the devastating strategic and tactical performance in the Gulf, the so-called high-tech war was in dispute. Since the Korean War air combat entered the jet era, only four and a half large-scale air battles took place around the world.

The North Korean air battle, Vietnam air battle, a series of wars in the Middle East, and the past conflicts between India and Pakistan in Kashmir. That half was the current Iranian-Iranian air battle. The reason why I regard the Iranian-Iranian air battle as a half is because the tactical ideas of both sides of the war were old.

The Iran-Iran War was praised by the international military as the First World War with modern weapons. The Iran-Iran Air Force was used as a front-line fire support aircraft. In addition, the war reports of both sides were all bubbles, so it was quite difficult to restore a real air battle, so there was little constructive reference for the development of military theory.

In four large-scale air battles, traditional fighting within the visual range occupies a dominant position. Even the Battle of the Beca Valley, which opened the door to the high-tech era of war. Both sides also focus on fighting within the visual range.

Both sides of the conflict in previous large-scale air combats fought with the support of a large number of roadbed radars or early warning aircraft, and the battlefield transparency is relatively high. Such cases of using long-range air-to-air missiles on a large scale after rushing thousands of miles, using beyond the visual range as the main attack method has never happened.

The traditional military perspective has caused the Vietnamese military to make an extremely fatal misjudgment on the strength and tactical capabilities of the Republic's air force. For the unlucky Vietnamese, the guy in the north has played Chinese chess with him for many years. Even if he can't do it well, he still knows what's going on.

Unexpectedly, Liang Yuan kicked the normal history into the fork, and the Republican military quietly replaced the Chinese chess board and rules with international chess. When the Vietnamese still ran according to the old ideas, vaulted horses, and drove out the car, the queen who killed the chess board on the opposite side was already flying all over the sky.

Ning Lei used the F14 fighter's own technical advantages, using the special mixed formation on the sea surface or even as bait, and the tactical core adopted was the real surrounding point attack and aid mode. It can be said that through various tactical feints, Ning Lei brought the comprehensive level of the F14 fighter to the extreme. For a medium-intensity conflict, the technical and tactical advantages accumulated can completely subvert the entire battle situation.

Although the an/apq126(v) radar equipped by the a7 attack aircraft is good, it refers to its role in ground attack. It is not stronger than the "high-altitude Skylark" j-band radar equipped by the MiG 23 when facing air. Therefore, Ning Lei slowed down the speed of the F14 fighter, and the radar officer in the back seat, Luo Ke, commanded the A7 attack aircraft to prepare for the placeholding before the attack.

"Dongyao, the Su22 formation is heading abnormally, and the Vietnamese are about to run." Luo Ke said with a very fast speaking speed.

From the radar recognition circle of Ning Lei flying the plane into the MiG 23 fighter, to the fact that there were no traces of MiG aircraft in the sky, the time spent in the middle took only seven or eight minutes. As the MiG fighter lost contact in large quantities, coupled with the call record before the crash, it should not be difficult for Vietnam's ground command center to determine that its MiG aircraft group is already in danger.

The only thing that cannot be sure is that I don’t know the exchange ratio of this air battle. Faced with such a dangerous battle situation, the Vietnamese dared not make the electronic equipment simple. The Su22 attack aircraft, which had no air combat capabilities, continued to carry out the task of bombing the Chinese special mixed formation, and the order to retreat was reasonable.

"Haidongqing calls the Eagle's Nest, Haidongqing calls the Eagle's Nest, how is the owl's recent situation?"

At this time, Qiao Pengfei was close to 100 kilometers away from Ning Lei, which had already exceeded the effective range of about 10 kilometers of the VHF communication system equipped by the F14 fighter. Therefore, Ning Lei could only contact Qiao Pengfei through the transfer of the Hainan Lingshui Base.

"The Owl is chasing a MiG."

Qiao Pengfei used the high maneuverability of the F14 fighter jet to shake off the two MiG 23s behind the butt and turned from prey to hunters. After a period of pursuit and maneuvering, Qiao Pengfei had just knocked down one of the MiG 23s and found that the other MiG had already run out seven or eight kilometers away.

At this time, Qiao Pengfei had already passed the three formations of the Vietnamese Air Force Su22 attack aircraft and ran to the rear airspace of the Su22.

"Notify the owl and gradually break away from MiG 23. The Vietnamese have already reacted. The Su-22 formation is preparing to escape. The owls are paying attention to intercept from the rear."

“Eagle’s Nest received.”

Ning Lei controlled the speed of the F14 fighter below m0.5, and slowly cruised like the Su22 formation, acting as an early warning aircraft, commanding the remaining 9 A7 attack aircraft and Qiao Pengfei to encircle and suppress the escaped Su22 aircraft group from all directions.

More than 1,000 meters away from Nanzi Island, Xiong Weixin has commanded landing crafts and amphibious tanks to circle Nanzi Island for a complete circle and a half.

"Xiong, how long does it take for us to reconnaissance to start landing on the beach?" Dong Kaichuan leaned the Type 69 403 rocket launcher in his hand against the bulkhead of the landing craft.

"Dongying, be careful and not impatient. We must be extremely meticulous in reconnaissance on the island." Xiong Weixin said.

"Two permanent bunkers, twenty-one anti-aircraft gun positions, seven wall-mounted shooting points, and fifteen buildings. If you call for naval gun support, except for the two permanent bunkers, the rest can be cleaned up in up to 10 minutes." Dong Kaichuan explained the situation of the Vietnamese garrison troops on Nanzi Island clearly in the blink of an eye.

"Old Dong. This island is our own, and it's all about grass and trees. You can't get into the house and you can't go back to the house for the time being. I called the police to blow up the house. How valuable is the soil in Nansha? Old Dong should know better than me when he stays in the navy." Xiong Weixin could only persuade his deputy with such high desire to fight.

As the commander of the landing team, Xiong Weixin, like the fleet commander Chen Guanghan, both knew the entire fulcrum plan. Xiong Weixin knew that this Nansha battle was purely a supporting role, and even to be cold, it was one of the baits. The one who determined the fate of this battle was simply the airplane group led by Ning Lei.

However, Xiong Weixin could not let the middle and lower-level officers know that the so-called kindness does not control the soldiers. In Xiong Weixin's opinion, as a soldier, he had already possessed this kind of awareness from the first moment he put on his military uniform.

"Xiong, but we just wandered around the island, and the Vietnamese could not take the initiative to withdraw."

"Old, you also know the key point of landing on the island. The two permanent bunkers. As long as these two teeth are removed, the Vietnamese will lose their backbone and the determination and will to resist to the end."

"So, what we have to do now is to wait for the Air Force's new fighter jets to use precision guided bombs to clear the stubborn firepower points on the island, which will hit the Vietnamese's will to resist and will not cause any major damage to the resources on the island." Xiong Weixin told the entire strike plan and finally brought out the long-lost new aircraft.

"Xiong, can our new model throw laser guided bombs?" Dong Kaichuan said with some surprise.

Xiong Weixin nodded with a smile and said, "Old Dong, wait and see the show. From now on, you will change the cannons. When the walkie-talkie is taken, then someone will blow it up for me. Just move your mouth and wait to enter the position."

A tail wing was missing, and one-third of the engine's tail spout was missing. A large stream of gray smoke emitting from the back of the fuselage. Occasionally, a few sparks burst out of the A7 attack aircraft were flying crookedly at an altitude of more than 300 meters above the sea.

The thick smoke in the cockpit had faded a lot. Zheng Jun turned his head and looked at the wing on the right. It seemed that the fuel tank fire suppression device of the A7 had already played a role, and the thick black smoke had turned into a faint gray.

After struggling for at least five minutes, Zheng Jun was finally able to control the seriously injured A7 attack aircraft to move according to his own wishes.

"Anhe, how are you doing there?" Zheng Jun carefully stabilized the joystick in his hand and asked his partner in the back seat.

"It's probably not very good. All the instruments no longer show green, except orange and red." An He said.

"The oil can support flight for five minutes. The main pump and another set of backup pumps have been completely broken. Now this will not last long." Zheng Jun informed the situation of the plane.

"How is the communication system?"

"It's over."

“Where is the navigation?”

"It's over, too."

"It's a pity that this plane is. If it is on land, we will definitely be able to make a landing." An He sighed.

"Oh." Zheng Jun also sighed regretfully and continued: "I estimated the approximate position. If we were lucky, we might be able to cross the edge of the fleet."

On the deck of Wufeng Mountain and on the external bridge, several crew members holding telescopes were looking towards the surrounding sky.

Just recently, the fleet command center adjusted the security level from preparing for combat to alert, and announced a great news that the long-range aviation force of the Republic had wiped out most of the air forces in the Vietnamese Air Force to reinforce Nanzi Island and was currently clearing out the remaining enemies in the airspace ahead of the fleet.

After hearing the news, the entire fleet cheered and it took a full minute to calm down.

However, with this news, there was also news that a fighter jet of a long-range aviation company was seriously injured and missing. After learning that the final course of the fighter might be interleaved with the fleet's route, Chen Guanghan notified the fleet of all radars to operate at full power and sent a large number of people to pay attention to the low altitude near sea level.

"Captain, there is something wrong!" Han Deben, the radar officer on the Nanning missile destroyer, said loudly.

"Direction 225, height 900, distance 16,000." Han Deben quickly reported the number returned from the radar.

"The highest warning. Prepare for air defense operations." The captain of the Nanning Captain Wang Caizhe first issued a warning order, and then signaled the adjutant to go to the bridge outside to confirm the situation.

After a while, the adjutant walked in quickly with excitement and said, "Captain, it's them. The lookout staff has confirmed it. But it seems that the situation is bad, and there are long smoke trails behind the plane."

"Distribution group, contact the plane." Wang Caizhe said loudly.

"This is the Nanning ship. Please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it." The correspondent turned the knob of the radio from time to time and made frequent calls.

"The captain, no response, is likely that their communication equipment has malfunctioned."

"Continue to contact, Adjutant Wu, notify the damage management department, put down the contact speedboat, and rushed to the waters where the pilots parachuted as quickly as possible."

"Notify the flagship that the seriously injured fighter has been found." Wang Caizhe issued a series of orders in succession.

"It seems that our luck is really good." Looking at the Nanning missile destroyer in the distance, Zheng Jun's voice was full of ease.

"An He, I don't know if the ejection seat is broken. When you arrive over the fleet, you can try ejecting first." Zheng Jun said.

"Old Zheng, we are all flying all the time. Your excuse is so bad that it cannot be more bad." An He said with some dissatisfaction.

Both of them were unsure of how serious the damage of this seriously injured A7 fighter jet was. However, after all, Zheng Jun returned to a subtle state of flying. If An He was successfully ejected, the center of gravity of the aircraft would inevitably change greatly. At that time, the A7 would probably fall into the sea.

It would be fine if Zheng Jun’s ejection seat did not have any problems. If anything really happened, there would be a way to go into the sea. With the current state and height of A7, it is unlikely that Zheng Jun will give enough time and opportunity to adjust.

"Including the F14 fighter jets, HNA has only 14 fighter jets that can fly here to perform missions. To be honest, I really don't want the plane to fall off like this. Anyway, I have found the fleet. I think we have good luck today, so why not try to find Nanzi Island."

"Anhe, your idea is really bad. Even if you find it, you can't make a landing. The army cannot take down Nanzi Island so quickly. Let's go to Nanzi Island to fall into the trap."

"When did I say that I had a forced landing on Nanzi Island? There is a big island near Nanzi Island. Did you forget Lao Zheng?" An He asked.

Zheng Jun said yelling and said, "I really haven't turned this corner yet. An and you have such a good idea."

As the crew of the Nanning crew were stunned, a stream of gray smoke emerged from time to time, and swayed over the airspace above the Nanning and flew northeastward.

Outside the sea of ​​Nanzi Island.

Xiong Weixin was leaning against the wall of the landing craft and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the Type 69 403 rocket launcher with Dong Kaichuan. A soldier who was holding a telescope to observe the garrison of Nanzidao suddenly shouted: "Bears, look, there are planes in the west."

Xiong Weixin and Dong Kaichuan looked up together and saw an A7 attack aircraft flying slowly towards his direction slightly southwest.

"Old Mr. Dong saw it. This is the new model I mentioned. The guy who can carry laser guided bombs."

"That radio station is specially made and can be contacted with new aircraft. After he comes, we will tell the data of the bunker, and then the Air Force will bomb and wait for landing and accepting the landing." Xiong Weixin said, pointing to a large radio station with a unique style at the rear of the landing craft.

"I really didn't expect that in the future, we who are on the ground would often command them." Dong Kaichuan said with a loud laugh.

After a while, Xiong Weixin looked at the A7 attack aircraft with a uglier expression and a few thick smoke came out from time to time, flying by four or five kilometers behind him.

"Xiong Jing, is this the new model you are talking about?" Dong Kaichuan asked with a strange expression.

Xiong Weixin nodded hatred and murmured: "I knew that none of these winged guys could be reliable once."
