Chapter 432 Air Combat

January 18!

After a half-month of silence, the Jeko Group made some changes again, deploying troops and preparing to launch a new round of large-scale ground offensive.

The main purpose of this ceasefire is to allow more troops from the three Annan countries to enter Siam, so as not to scare them away from sending troops to reinforce.

However, before the large-scale ground offensive, the fighter jets of the Jeko Group started fighting first.

The Kachuan Airport of Zen Country is the largest military airport in Zen Country. There are more than 80 fighter jets in the airport.

In addition to some of the old third-generation fighter jets originally owned by the Zen government, there are dozens of third-generation and a half and fourth-generation fighter jets purchased from Mao Xiong Country and China.

In the airport, Su Jie stood in front of a Mao Xiong Country fighter jet, which had been completely changed.

The radar inside the fuselage was replaced with a biological radar, and outside the fuselage, the fuselage was covered with a thin layer of flesh membrane, and the wings had wisps of feather firefly patterns flashing, looking extremely weird.

This is naturally Su Jie's masterpiece, because the research and development of air control puppets at the Puppet Hall has not yet achieved results. The research difficulty of air combat puppets is greater than that of ground vehicles. Now that spider mechas have begun to serve, Su Jie has issued a project to the Puppet Hall on the development of air control puppets, but there has been no progress.

As a last resort, Su Jie took action himself, using the Wanbian Insect Codex and the help of engineers to carry out magic modifications on the basis of modern fighters.

The advantage is that the strength of the modified fighters has been enhanced, but the consequence is that the life of the fighters has been greatly reduced, and they are easily scrapped after a few outings.

This is mainly because fighters are too delicate, and Su Jie used them to enchant and transform them, which is too simple and crude. The precision instruments and parts inside the body cannot withstand it. It's like you install a fighter engine on a motorcycle. The fighter will disintegrate after a few outings, which is very painful.

Such a transformation is too expensive. The fighter itself is expensive to buy, and the transformation has to be spent separately, and all the spirit stones are used.

Ordinary spirit stones are not enough, you need medium-grade spirit stones, and they will be scrapped after a few uses. It's really painful!

And this kind of magic-modified fighter is now collectively called Lingjiu fighter within the Jieke Group. Because it was just successfully modified not long ago, there are not many of them at present.

The reason for suspending ground operations is to wait for this batch of magic-modified fighters. Before gaining a certain air superiority, at least the air superiority must be equal to each other. If you rashly launch a ground operation at the army level, it is too easy to be bombed by the air force.

"Commander, the first flight squadron is ready and can take off at any time."

Next to him, the air force general of Zen Kingdom reported to Su Jie respectfully.

"Go, we need to gain a certain air superiority."

Su Jie's eyes were deep and he issued a combat order.

Soon, 24 magic-modified Lingjiu fighters took off, and there were also many other fighters that took off one after another, and those were not modified.

Not only this airport, but also many military airports in Chan Kingdom had ordinary fighters taking off. Most of the fighters flew towards Siam, and a small part flew to Annan, Zhenla and Lancang, giving them a gift for joining the war.

Su Jie intended to increase the number of modified Lingjiu fighters during the period of truce. Currently, a squadron of 24 fighters has been modified.

Because Lingjiu fighters are expensive, it is okay to spend real money alone, but the key is that the magic modification of Lingjiu fighters requires a lot of spiritual stones.

Each time it is dispatched, it loses 1 point of durability, and the total durability of the fighter is only three or four points. Even if there is a mine at home, it can't afford to make it like this!

Such a pitfall scrap rate is not cost-effective. Except for air combat and attacking high-value targets, ordinary air strikes are not practical and can only be used in key battles.

When the fighters of Chan Kingdom took off one by one, such a large-scale air force attendance naturally could not be concealed from the monitoring of ground radar stations.

In addition, the distance between Siam and Chan Kingdom is too close. As soon as the Chan Kingdom fighters were dispatched, Siam received the news and urgently took off fighters to intercept and fight.

The radar station deployed on the ground in Zen Kingdom also captured the signal of Siamese fighter planes, and both sides were basically clear.

10,000 meters above the sky, a shadow emerged from under the sea of ​​clouds and quickly broke through the clouds.

Wu Boyan was wearing a mecha combat suit and driving this magic-modified Lingjiu fighter.

Yes, he is also a genetic warrior, a genetic warrior with enhanced perception, who can better cooperate with biological radar to perceive and search for enemies.

Now, many parts of the cabin of this fighter are covered with hyphae and tumors, and blood vessels are inserted into the mecha suit, allowing Wu Boyan to connect with the fighter plane and fight more efficiently. This driving system for the spider main battle mecha has been transplanted to the Lingjiu fighter.

Such a fighter can only be used by the Jieke Group itself. Even if the manufacturer of the fighter comes, it is difficult to maintain it. Only the Jieke Group can do it by itself.

"Alarm, alarm, fighter signal detected, fighter signal detected, signal source coordinates are located at..."

Suddenly, there was movement on the display in the cockpit.

Wu Boyan narrowed his eyes, veins popped out at the corners of his eyes, and he operated the biological radar at full power.

The biological radar using sound waves, electromagnetic pulses and infrared radiation has a great advantage in reconnaissance, and first discovered the Siamese enemy plane beyond visual range.

In Wu Boyan's perception, the enemy plane obviously had not changed its course, and the other party still did not discover him.

The two most important indicators of modern fighter air combat are radar and stealth.

Because fighters are the first to find and destroy, whoever can find the enemy first in an air battle, or reduce the chance of being found, is the key to victory.

In addition to the powerful biological radar search, the flesh membrane wrapped around the body of the Lingjiu fighter can also effectively eliminate radar scanning, and the radar reflection area is quite small, reaching the world's top level.

"Send you on your way."

Wu Boyan did not hesitate at all and decisively controlled the missile launch.

The magazine under the belly of the aircraft opened, and an active radar-guided medium-range air-to-air missile fell off. After it was separated from the body, it was successfully cold-fired and ignited. The missile engine was running and flew forward at a high speed.

After the missile was launched, Wu Boyan did not turn around, but continued to use the biological radar to continuously track and lock the target and guide the launched missile.

When the launched air-to-air missile entered the range of the active guidance head, Wu Boyan released the radar illumination.

It was not until this time that the enemy aircraft discovered the incoming air-to-air missile, made violent maneuvers and dropped decoy bombs.

However, the opponent did not escape the lock of the air-to-air missile in the end. The missile with a speed of several Mach per hour was much faster than the fighter plane. When his decoy bomb failed to deceive the air-to-air missile, the chance of survival would be greatly reduced.

Boom!

A Siamese JAS-39C/D Gripen fighter disintegrated in mid-air and became a ball of fire in the air.

The pilot was hit by the flying shrapnel just after the ejection seat flew out. When the parachute fell back to the ground, it only brought back the upper half of the pilot's body. The lower half of the body had already disappeared and no one knew where it fell.

"Perfect."

Wu Boyan smiled. A missile destroyed the enemy's fighter plane worth tens of millions of dollars, which gave him a good start in today's battle.

He turned the plane around and was now in Siamese airspace. Looking down from the sky, there was a Siamese city below.

Wu Boyan lowered the flight altitude and flew across the city, causing the Siamese people below to scream and run around in panic. His behavior was very arrogant.

This move naturally attracted enemies for him, and soon other enemy planes came to him, which was also Wu Boyan's purpose.

The Lingjiu fighter has excellent combat effectiveness. In order to avoid meaningless attendance and wasting opportunities to scrap the fighters, they need to become a target to attract firepower and attract those enemy planes to kill them.

"Another plane, I don't know what model it is."

Wu Boyan found an enemy plane out of sight again through the biological radar. Not long after pressing the missile launch button, he suddenly heard a series of urgent alarms.

"Alarm, there is a missile attack at 11 o'clock, please pay attention to avoid it, pay attention to avoid it."

The display screen of the fuselage issued a crazy alarm, Wu Boyan's face was solemn, and while throwing decoy bombs, the fuselage began to maneuver greatly, turning on the fighter afterburner, and soaring to more than Mach 2.

The so-called aircraft afterburner refers to the jet aircraft using the afterburner to sacrifice fuel consumption in exchange for speed, so that the aircraft can obtain greater thrust in a short time.

When Wu Boyan mobilized the thrust of the Lingjiu fighter, the enchanted array pattern located in the engine burst out with powerful kinetic energy, and provided the Lingjiu fighter with strong and surging power while the engine was shaking as if it was about to explode.

Wu Boyan saw the incoming missile out of the corner of his eye, and he kept flying away in the fighter.

Generally speaking, the flight state of air-to-air missiles is divided into two parts, one is powered flight, and the other is unpowered gliding.

The first half relies on the engine thrust, and the second half relies on the inertia of the missile to fly and gradually slow down.

The most threatening part of the air-to-air missile is the first half, because at this time the missile flies the fastest, and can soar to several Mach speeds, while the inertial flight speed will decrease, and the threat to the fighter will also decrease.

The speed of the Lingjiu fighter's afterburner burst is crucial. Wu Boyan bought himself two or three seconds. The thrust fuel of the air-to-air missile is generally only enough to fly for about ten seconds, and then it will enter inertial deceleration flight, at which time the missile's hit rate will drop sharply.

Relying on acceleration, the Lingjiu fighter piloted by Wu Boyan avoided the fastest thrust acceleration of the air-to-air missile, allowing its fuel to be consumed and the missile speed to decrease. In addition, Wu Boyan's maneuvering of the fighter plane narrowly avoided the incoming missile.

"It's a close call! I almost lost my life."

Wu Boyan's heart was pounding, watching the missile he launched also miss the target.

The enemy aircraft turned on the afterburner, causing the air-to-air missile he launched to exceed the maximum thrust stage, and then the enemy aircraft slid at a large angle to throw off the missile without fuel thrust.

The two fighters flew towards each other, and both had just turned on the afterburner. The distance of just a few dozen kilometers passed in a flash, and the two sides were able to see each other and entered the visual range.

"It turned out to be the F-35 sold by the United States to Siam. No wonder it flies so fast."

With the eyesight of a genetic warrior, Wu Boyan saw clearly that the other fighter plane was the United States' F-35 stealth fighter.

Siam originally purchased 20 F-35 fighters from the United States. Each of these things cost hundreds of millions of US dollars and is the treasure of the Siamese Air Force.

"Wang Defa, what the hell is that?"

In the driving seat of the F-35 stealth fighter, a black pilot was driving the fighter. He was Somjet Thorn, a special pilot of the United States. When he saw the Lingjiu fighter, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked like he had seen a ghost.

He was hired by the United States as a mercenary to join the Siamese Air Force to help fight.

This was also his first time to take off and fight in Siam, and he saw the Vulture fighter. This half-mechanized, half-flesh aircraft made him dumbfounded.

The fuselage was not made of steel, but covered with a layer of flesh membrane. The nose and wings also had bones and wings, like a strange bird with its mouth open and full of sharp teeth.

Wu Boyan didn't care what the other party thought. He decisively controlled the Vulture fighter to meet it. The distance between the two sides was too close. This distance was not enough for the missile to ignite and accelerate. The two sides had entered the combat distance. The only thing they could trust was the machine gun.

At this time, the competition was to see who was better at somersaults and sharp turns.

Fighter dogfights rarely occur in modern air combat. Obviously, Wu Boyan encountered this rare situation today, but he was not afraid at all, but full of confidence.

"It's a shitty plane. I'll knock you down."

Somjet cursed and pulled the joystick. The nose of the fighter plane aimed at Wu Boyan, firing 25mm cannons one after another, with tracer bullets mixed in to indicate the trajectory.

Wu Boyan smiled coldly. Without any manual operation, he controlled the plane to turn and climb through the neural connection. The fighter plane flew straight up, and all the cannons fired missed.

Somjet's face changed. He realized that something was wrong and wanted to change direction urgently, but it was too late.

Wu Boyan's plane flipped during the climb and turned to inverted flight, that is, the cockpit faced the ground and the belly faced the sky.

A normal pilot would generate reverse negative G force at this time, blood would suddenly rise to the head, and the intracranial pressure would increase. The pilot would feel extremely painful, and the fighter might enter a stall state and crash.

This is a game for technical skills and bravery. Usually only elite pilots can operate it and use it in aerobatic performances.

However, Wu Boyan was a genetic warrior, and the pressure caused by the inverted flight would not make him feel uncomfortable. During the inverted flight, he pressed the nose of the plane down, and the fuselage rolled to lock the F-35 fighter that was turning at a large angle.

"Goodbye, little chick, return to the embrace of Mother Earth!"

With a chuckle, Wu Boyan's five senses and nerve reactions were his best in close combat.

He locked the nose of the plane at the F-35 fighter, and constantly made fine adjustments to maintain the balance of the fuselage, firing the machine gun calmly.

The machine guns formed a falling arc in the air, and Wu Boyan even calculated the arc of the machine gun bullets. The thick machine gun bullets drilled large holes in the F-35 fighter, penetrated the fuselage of the aircraft, and destroyed the delicate electronic instruments and engines inside.

In an instant, thick black smoke came out of the fuselage, and a fire broke out at the tail.

Somjet was unlucky enough to be hit by a machine gun, and his head was smashed by a machine gun, without even the chance to launch the ejection seat.

In the end, the stealth fighter worth hundreds of millions of dollars went straight down and crashed near a village. The fuel and missiles inside the aircraft were detonated, and a huge fireball exploded in the air, scaring the villagers in the village.

"The second one. The standard for an ace pilot is to shoot down five fighters. I don't know if I have a chance to achieve it."

Wu Boyan whistled excitedly, feeling extremely excited about his victory.

He couldn't wait to continue flying the fighter, looking for the next enemy plane that dared to take off, and regarded them as his qualifications for promotion to an ace pilot.
