Chapter 311 The first wave of counterattack

Two weeks later, a base in the south.

A Rainbow-9 UAV equipped with the latest pod is taxiing slowly, while on the runway adjacent to it, two J-20s are still getting ready for departure.

According to the plan, the two J-20s will take off 15 minutes after the Rainbow-9 takes off, and then use their speed advantage to catch up with the Rainbow-9. They will catch up with the Rainbow-9 at the end of the flight and provide it with a one-hour escort.

.

Yes, after nearly a month of preparation, the first counterattack is finally about to begin.

In fact, the harassment did not stop during this month.

Just as Chen Nian expected, they are like dog-skin plaster that cannot be shaken off. They will always take off at an unpredictable moment, complete the interference for 10 to 20 minutes at an extremely fast speed, and then escape before the fighter jets arrive.

.

Even with FRFT, the impact of such interference is huge.

Fortunately, days like this should be over for good today.

In the cockpit, Bai Chongkai was conducting final inspections on the aircraft, and the voices of the ground crew continued to come from his headphones.

"Check the unmanned wingman data link connection."

"Received, check the link. The link is normal."

"Check the Yujing04 strategy loading status."

"Received. The strategy is loaded normally and adjusted to automatic flight mode."

"The tower received it. Check the working status of the electronic pod."

"Working normally, data transmission is normal, communication is normal."

"Understood, unmanned wingman 01 is preparing to take off, keep the data link connected."

"Keep the data link connected and start automatic takeoff."

As Bai Chongkai finished speaking, the Rainbow-9 on the runway not far away immediately started to use afterburners.

Subsequently, with the blessing of the Yujing 04 system, the drone soared into the sky at an extremely elegant angle without any human control.

Immediately afterwards, the unmanned wingman slowly turned in the air and began to fly according to the updated flight target in the data link system.

After watching the Rainbow-9 go away, Bai Chongkai pressed the button and the J-20 cockpit cover closed.

"The program self-test is completed, everything is normal and ready to take off."

While they were talking, the two J-20s aligned themselves with the runway, their engines running at idle speed, quietly waiting for the long-established take-off opportunity.

"Lao Liu, are you ready?"

Bai Chongkai asked on the radio.

Another fighter, Jian Shili, Liu Chuanwu calmly gave a thumbs up and replied:

"Ready, ready to take off at any time."

"nervous?"

Bai Chongkai continued to ask.

He is an experienced pilot himself, and in terms of qualifications, he is even better than Liu Chuanwu.

But after all, he has not experienced the so-called "real conflict" like Liu Chuanwu, so when performing this task, he is indeed not as "experienced" as Liu Chuanwu.

Hearing his question, Liu Chuanwu smiled softly and replied:

"There's nothing to be nervous about."

"Back then, when I was driving a J-8, I dared to fight with them. Now I'm driving a J-20. It makes no sense for me to be a coward."

"Besides, they can't catch us this time - Rainbow-9 has set up a self-destruct program. If the situation is really dangerous, we can just give up."

"I don't believe that anyone can catch us on this sea."

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Chongkai's nervousness that was still faintly pulsing just now was instantly swept away.

He suddenly realized his true situation:

Flying the world's most advanced fourth-generation aircraft, using the world's most advanced radars and weapons, and the world's most advanced drones for cover.

There are so many "world's most advanced" machines. If the mission cannot be completed, then we might as well retire them directly.

——

No, it should be said that such a task is actually no different from a spring outing.

Success is inevitable, the only uncertainty is whether the optimal results can be achieved.

Thinking of this, Bai Chongkai's fingers gripping the joystick couldn't help but relax.

After waiting quietly for a few minutes, the tower's permission to take off came through his earphones.

The engine turned on the afterburner, blue tongues of flame spurted out, and a moment later, the two J-20s disappeared from the sky.

The speed continued to increase. After 20 minutes of flight, Bai Chongkai and Liu Chuanwu caught up with Rainbow-9, which had set off early.

"Refresh the data link link and enter wingman synchronization mode."

Bai Chongkai reported his tactical actions, while Liu Chuanwu on the side maintained a forward distance, used active radar to detect the target airspace, and assumed the early warning mission.

It is not worried about its radar waves being intercepted. With the latest adaptive power control system and clutter-imitating function, even the most advanced ALR-94 passive radar warning device in the United States may not be able to identify its own radar signals.

.

It can be said that even if the active radar is turned on, to a large extent, this J-20 is still a stealth killer in the air.

On the side of Bai Chongkai's fighter plane, the Rainbow-9 wingman has completed the data link update, Yujing 04 has entered synchronization mode, and the wingman command has been handed over to Bai Chongkai.

"40 nautical miles away from target airspace, ready to start execution."

"Received, 40 nautical miles, countdown will start in 3 minutes."

"160 seconds, I turned off the active radar."

"Received, active radar is turned off, afterburner is turned off, and circling begins."

Just three minutes passed quickly, and at this time, all three fighter planes had already arrived in the combat airspace.

This place is about 260 nautical miles away from the opponent's base and is outside the detection range of the opponent's coastal defense radar.

From here on, Rainbow-09 will activate the electronic jamming pod, begin to receive and analyze the opponent's shore defense radar pulse signals, and formulate a targeted jamming strategy after the onboard computer completes the analysis.

"The jamming pod is powered on and ready to interfere."

"Prepare to implement interference. After analyzing the pulse characteristics, start injecting interference signals and adjust the power to the maximum."

"Understand, implement interference, and start the task."

the other side.

Leon sat comfortably on the recliner, drinking an ice-cold drink, closing his eyes slightly, not even looking at the planes that were undergoing routine takeoff and landing training.

The assistant on the side reported to him the latest situation report on the Pacific Rim, but he had no intention of listening.

The reason is simple, this is the last month he will stay here.

The transfer order has been issued. Starting next month, he will leave Kadena and return to his homeland to serve as the commander-in-chief of an air force base in Mississippi.

That's a big deal - that air force base has the most advanced F-22 fourth-generation aircraft in the United States, as well as the best pilots in the United States.

As long as you don't commit suicide and survive two to three years, you will definitely be able to climb up a few more steps.

For him, this is a happy ending.

Although this ending is somewhat ironic.

After all, he stayed in Kadena for five full years, constantly trying various methods in order to build up conspicuous "combat exploits" for himself.

But every time, his actions ended in failure.

For a long time, he couldn't even tell whether his side was too weak or his opponent was too strong.

This almost made him fall into despair - especially after the opponent's H-20 took off, he truly realized that he could no longer confront the opponent head-on no matter what angle he looked at.

Therefore, he was depressed for a long time.

But sometimes, fate is so unpredictable.

Just when he thought his life would stop here, just when he thought he would never have a chance to take revenge on his opponent, a local technology completely changed his situation.

ARES advanced electronic warfare system.

With this system, he successfully contained China's actions in the Pacific and bought time for his own strategy in Africa.

More importantly, he cleverly removed his side from the incident. Even if it was really exposed later, China would not be able to find a reason to confront itself.

Such a smart strategy won him a lot of praise in the Corner Tower, and also laid the foundation for his transfer this time.
