Chapter 770: One Strike to Defeat the Aerial Blade
Under the curtain of the night sky, a fierce air battle quietly unfolded. The 48 fighters of the Goshawk Wing, divided into four elite squadrons, faced the two fighter squadrons of the Fuso side - a total of 24 Diamond fighters and 24 Kawasaki Type fighters.
On the Chinese side, there are four different types of fighter jets with equally excellent performance: the Hornet fighter is known for its high speed and agility, the Destroyer fighter has powerful firepower and protection, the Swallow jet fighter represents the pinnacle of speed and technology, and the Fw190 Shrike fighter is famous for its high-altitude combat capability and stable performance.
At the beginning of the battle, the Hornet fighter squadron relied on its excellent acceleration performance and flexible maneuverability to quickly shuttle between enemy aircraft formations and carry out precise harassment and attacks. Sometimes they made a sharp turn and passed under the enemy aircraft, firing a string of tracer bullets; sometimes they suddenly pulled up and used their altitude advantage to dive-bomb the enemy, forcing the enemy to distract its attention and create opportunities for subsequent strikes.
Meanwhile, the Destroyer fighter squadrons acted as heavy hammers. Equipped with powerful machine guns and rockets, they would attack without hesitation once they locked onto a target. The explosions and shrapnel formed a web of death in the air, causing enemy aircraft to run out of fuel and ammunition while dodging, gradually falling into a passive position.
The Feiyan jet fighter squadron made full use of the speed advantage brought by its jet engines, creating silver lightning on the battlefield. Sometimes they crossed the battlefield at high speed, looking for and attacking the enemy's command and communication nodes; sometimes they suddenly slowed down and cooperated with the Hornet fighters to form a pincer attack, leaving the enemy nowhere to escape.
The Fw190 Shrike fighter squadron, with its excellent performance at high altitudes, became the aerial falcons of the battlefield. They hovered high in the sky, overlooking the entire battlefield situation, and once they found the weak link of the enemy aircraft, they quickly swooped down and dealt a fatal blow to the enemy with precise shooting and fierce firepower.
On the other hand, although the Fuso's Diamond fighters were known for their stability and firepower, they seemed to be somewhat powerless when facing the flexible tactics of the Eagle Wing's multi-aircraft coordinated operations. They tried to form an encirclement with their numerical advantage, but were often resolved by the flexibility and maneuverability of the Chinese fighters. Although the Kawasaki Type 190 fighters also had certain maneuverability and firepower, they were obviously at a disadvantage in the confrontation with advanced fighters such as the Hornet and FW, and had to rely on dense formations and coordinated operations to make up for their shortcomings.
As the battle deepened, the fighter planes of both sides chased each other, crossed each other, attacked and defended each other in the night sky. The sounds of explosions, machine guns and radio communications intertwined to form a thrilling symphony in the air.
The commander of the Goshawk Squadron sat in his command cabin, staring at the complex tactical display screen in front of him. The flashing dots on the screen represented the real-time position and status of each fighter. As the real-time battlefield situation continued to evolve, he quickly analyzed the movements, firepower distribution and tactical advantages of the fighters on both sides, and a series of precise and decisive tactical instructions began to flow out of his mouth.
"Goshawks 01 to 06, immediately change to a 'crescent' formation and use the cover of night to launch a surprise attack from the flank of the enemy formation. Remember to keep the formation tight and use each other's firepower coverage to enhance survivability." The wing commander's voice was calm and powerful, and was clearly conveyed to every pilot through the encrypted communication channel.
Then, he issued a second order: "Goshawk 07 to 12, as the fire support team, immediately increase the altitude to 3000 meters, turn on the infrared tracking system, and lock all suspicious enemy targets. Once you find an opportunity to launch missiles or machine guns, launch an attack immediately and make sure to deal a heavy blow to the enemy."
At the same time, the wing commander realized the particularity of night operations, and he decisively ordered: "All Goshawk fighters, immediately turn on the night combat system, including infrared detection, night vision devices, and friend-or-foe identification devices. Ensure that you can accurately judge the target in the dark and maintain a high level of battlefield situation awareness."
As this series of orders were issued, the fighters of the Goshawk Wing responded quickly and activated various functions of the night combat system. The Hornet fighter used night vision goggles to penetrate the darkness, searching for prey as keenly as a cheetah; the Destroyer fighter strengthened the sensitivity of infrared detection, ready to launch a fatal attack on any heat source; the Swallow jet fighter drew a brilliant track in the night sky, using its speed advantage to quickly shuttle between enemy positions; the Fw190 Shrike fighter flew steadily at high altitude, using the long-range detection system to provide battlefield intelligence support for the entire formation.
Under this tactical layout, the Goshawk Squadron demonstrated a high level of coordinated combat capability and adaptability to the night battlefield environment. They flexibly adjusted their tactics and strategies according to the real-time changes on the battlefield, while making full use of the performance advantages of their respective fighters, posing a huge threat to the enemy.
Under the dark sky of night combat, the Goshawk Wing fully activated the night combat system. This decision quickly won them a significant advantage and put the enemy in a disadvantageous position.
Every fighter of the Goshawk Wing, from the Hornet to the FW190 Shrike, seems to be transformed into a ghost in the night. With advanced night vision and infrared detection systems, it can clearly identify the outlines of friendly and enemy forces in an environment with almost zero visibility. This unprecedented situational awareness capability allows the Goshawk Wing to detect the movements of enemy aircraft in advance, thereby taking the initiative and launching a surprise attack.
In addition, the night combat system has greatly improved the stealth and survivability of the Goshawk Wing. In the dark night sky, it is often difficult for enemy aircraft to detect the traces of the Goshawk fighters with the naked eye or traditional radar systems. Even the missiles or machine guns launched often deviate from the track due to the lack of precise target guidance. The Goshawk Wing can use night vision goggles and infrared detection systems to accurately lock and shoot down enemy aircraft, achieving efficient killing and self-protection.
In comparison, the enemy's disadvantages were particularly obvious. Most of their fighters were not equipped with such advanced night combat systems, or their system performance was far inferior to that of the Goshawk Wing.
In night operations, they had to rely on traditional radar detection and visual observation, both of which were inadequate in the pitch-black night sky. Radar was easily affected by the electronic jamming of the Goshawk Wing, resulting in false alarms or missed alarms; while visual observation was limited by the field of view and light conditions, making it difficult to accurately judge the enemy's situation.
The two fighter squadrons of Fuso tried their best in the night, but they seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force and could not break free from the death net woven by the Goshawk Wing. Their pilots were all elites who had undergone rigorous training, but they seemed powerless when facing the Goshawk Wing with advanced equipment and flexible tactics.
The Diamond fighters, relying on their sturdy bodies and stable flight performance, tried to find opportunities to counterattack in the melee. However, whenever they tried to approach the fighters of the Goshawk Wing, they were easily evaded by the Hornet fighters with their agility, and were swallowed up by the powerful firepower of the Destroyer fighters in an instant. The flames of the explosions drew dazzling tracks in the night sky, announcing the fall of another enemy plane.
The Kawasaki Type 190 fighters tried to use their numerical advantage to form an encirclement, but this strategy soon failed under the sophisticated tactical coordination of the Goshawk Wing. The Hiyane jet fighters used their speed advantage to shuttle freely in the enemy formation and constantly disrupted the enemy's formation; while the Fw Shrike fighters circled at high altitudes, targeting enemy aircraft with precise shooting and long-range missiles. For a time, the enemy's formation was beaten to pieces and their morale was greatly reduced.
