Above the sky, eight "Super Tucano" fighter jets are flying from Mexico to Cuba in broad daylight. Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu, the leader of the team, stared at the navigation information displayed on the onboard avionics in silence. Although there was no satellite navigation, the inertial navigation was still powerful.

Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu once served in the US military and has more than ten years of experience in flying F-16 fighter jets. Now in his fifties, he had retired many years before the cataclysm, opened an aviation club in his hometown, and was still a master of air combat.

After the Enclave decided to interfere with the expansion of the Aurora Legion, Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu, who joined the army again, joined the military system of the Diego regime in Mexico as an air force adviser. He was responsible for rebuilding and training Mexican pilots how to fight.

The Air Force is a very expensive military service. Modern fighter jets consume several tons of fuel every day. However, all the armies in the world have disappeared. The Mexican army is already weak, and there are fewer civil aviation talents. After the catastrophe, no qualified pilots can be found at all.

In order to consume as little resources as possible, the air forces of various forces now only fly propeller fighters. Because whether it is fuel consumption or ground handling, propeller planes are much simpler than jet planes. For this reason, Enclave even presented a batch of "Super Toucans" with propellers to President Diego.

The last night air raid on Havana was the masterpiece of Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu. It was later proved that the air raid successfully destroyed most of the production capacity of the Havana oil refinery. This result encouraged Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu to continue to carry out more air raids on Havana.

However, under repeated air strikes, Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu's fleet suffered huge losses. In the first night attack, five of the twelve 'Super Tucanos' were lost. Such a high loss rate almost caused the entire air attack plan to be completely cancelled, and even caused a large number of losses to the Mexican pilots who had finally been trained.

To keep the raids going, Lieutenant Colonel Ish had to completely replace the Mexican rookies with Enclave flying veterans. The improvement of technical and tactical level has just curbed the high battle loss rate.

And with the increase in the number of battles, Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu also figured out some tricks—a large number of pilots on the side of the Aurora Legion are actually rookies, but one of them can't help but have a fighter pilot who is particularly sophisticated. Yixiu's losses were almost entirely caused by it.

Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu resolutely canceled the night attack with limited vision, because for the 'super toucans' whose radar is not strong enough, visual combat can sometimes give full play to their advantages in numbers and skills.

This has also been verified in many subsequent battles - the powerful pilots of the Aurora Legion are also limited by the performance of the fighters, and they cannot take advantage of the tricky and weird combat skills in daytime one-to-many battles, and it is always difficult to make a difference .

In recent days, Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu has led a team to visit Havana every day. His goal for coming today is very clear, "We must blow up the airport in Havana, which should be the air defense command center of the Aurora Legion. Destroying it should be very helpful for our future operations."

Judging from the results of the previous operations, Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu is still very confident in his operation this time. The Aurora Legion has a lot of pilots and a lot of planes. But their airspace is full of loopholes, the air force is weak, and the most equipped is an old-fashioned biplane transport plane.

"The Aurora Legion probably doesn't have any effective air early warning force. Every time we are intercepted five minutes before reaching the sky above Havana. Their air defense network is estimated to be unable to cover the entire city.

The enemy has too few pilots capable of stopping us. There should be only one group of instructors, and the rest are very poor. We have nothing to worry about. "Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu repeatedly instilled his own tactics to his team members before the mission started.

To put it simply, keep an eye on that perverted opponent, and everything else will be easy.

Flying and flying like this, the Yixiu fleet flew from Cancun Airport to Havana, and flew to Bata Nova Bay just after entering the land. It stands to reason that the air defense network of the Aurora Legion is about to be alarmed at this time, and in a few minutes...

Don't wait a few minutes.

Suddenly, a ball of flames flew from the sky, striking at three times the speed of sound, and arrived in front of Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu in the blink of an eye. Before the lieutenant colonel could figure out what was going on, countless fragments suddenly exploded in his fleet, like a dark cloud exploding, shaking like a daytime thunder.

With a loud bang, Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu's wingman was blown to pieces, the body disintegrated in the air, and fell downwards. The two pilots in the fighter plane had no chance of escaping, and they were finished without humming.

This sudden death frightened the experienced lieutenant colonel Yixiu half to death. He hurriedly lowered the flying altitude of the fighter plane, recalled the scene just now, and then shouted on the radio: "There are anti-aircraft missiles, evade."

The entire fleet suddenly became like a swarm of bees. The 'Super Tucano' was designed to deal with low-intensity battles. The enemies it usually faces are drug dealers, guerrillas, and anti-government armed forces, not including the regular army with professional anti-aircraft missiles.

The 'Super Tucano' relies on its speed to evade individual air defense missiles with a narrow attack window, but the missile that hit just now looks thick and big. It is a radar-guided medium-range air defense missile, which is not it. Propeller fighters can deal with it.

"Damn it!" Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu regretted that he didn't bring an electronic warfare pod, at least it could interfere with the opponent's radar—well, it's not that he didn't want to bring it. But the power generation capacity of the propeller fighter is not enough, and it cannot carry the electronic warfare pod that consumes a lot of power.

What now? run away!

Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu, who was in a hurry, could only make the fleet turn around and flee separately. He really couldn't figure out where the Aurora Legion's anti-aircraft missiles came from—there must be anti-aircraft missiles, you should have taken them out earlier! The oil refinery was blown up before it was deployed, which in turn was tantamount to cheating Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu.

Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu didn't know that Zhou Qingfeng had spent a lot of money to improve the 'Red Flag-2' air defense missile he had acquired in order to guard against his fleet.

In order to solve the defect that 'Red Flag-2' cannot attack low-altitude targets, Rabbit's military industry specially upgraded the centimeter-wave radar of the guidance station of the missile battalion, hung it on the large-scale surveillance drone in the form of a pod, and then used the data chain for radio command guidance.

Facing the drone flying at an altitude of 8,000 meters, the Yixiu fleet flying close to the sea was spotted 200 kilometers away. The people at the ground drone remote control station waited for the opponent to throw themselves into the trap, and immediately launched missiles when they saw the enemy plane enter the 35-kilometer air defense circle of the 'Red Flag-2'.

One shot makes merit, followed by another shot.

Liu Meng's missile brigade training battalion is not very proficient in equipment, and can only control one missile to fly in the sky at a time. But just firing the missiles into the sky one after another is enough to make the fighter pilots of the Yixiu fleet collapse.

Can't fight, can't escape, seeing the rumbling missiles appearing in the sky again, the pilots who feel that they can't escape simply parachute - this kind of large-scale anti-aircraft missile has a maximum overload of more than ten or twenty Gs, and the pilots can't fly even if they try their best. Its killing range!

When downed fighter planes and fluttering umbrella flowers kept appearing in the sky, Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu, who was still fleeing desperately, fled desperately without looking back. He was puzzled, "Why does the Aurora Legion have medium-range air defense missiles?"
