Chapter 744: Goshawks Set Out to Fight in the Sky
As the night fell and the stars twinkled, a military airport outside the city of Nanjiuzhou was lit up like torches, illuminating a busy and orderly scene. Colonel Lan Fang, dressed in an air force uniform, stood tall on the reviewing stand in the center of the airport, with the military flag fluttering in the wind behind him and the pilots of the Goshawk Fighter Squadron and the Angry Dragon Bomber Squadron lined up in neat formations and ready to go in front of him.
Colonel Lan's eyes swept over every pilot. His voice was clearly transmitted throughout the airport through the loudspeaker, with unquestionable authority and firmness: "Pilots, listen to my orders!"
"Yes, sir!" The pilots responded in unison, their voices loud and resounding through the sky.
The blue colonel then began to issue a series of concise and clear orders, which were accurately conveyed to each pilot.
"Goshawk Squadron, prepare to start the engine and conduct the final inspection before takeoff. Check the fuel, ammunition, and radar system. Once everything is normal, report to me!"
"Yes, sir! Goshawk Squadron will execute immediately!" The pilots of the Goshawk Fighter Squadron acted quickly. They skillfully checked the performance of their respective fighters to ensure that everything was foolproof.
"Nu Jiao Squadron, your mission is to follow the Goshawk Squadron and fly in formation. Please confirm the coordinates of the bombing target, adjust the flight altitude and speed, and prepare to drop precision-guided bombs." Colonel Lan immediately gave orders to the pilots of the Nu Jiao bomber squadron.
"The Angry Dragon Squadron understands. The target coordinates have been confirmed and the formation is being adjusted."
As the blue colonel issued a series of orders, the pilots made final preparations. They checked their safety belts and helmets to ensure that the communication equipment was unobstructed; they reconfirmed the flight plan and familiarized themselves with the mission requirements of each flight phase; they adjusted their mentality to keep themselves calm and courageous, ready to meet the upcoming challenges.
The tense and orderly atmosphere at the airport became increasingly intense. Every fighter plane was making final adjustments and preparations, and every pilot was contributing his or her own strength to the upcoming Dawn Operation. Colonel Lan Fang stood on the reviewing stand, his eyes sharp.
At two o'clock in the morning, everything was silent, only the occasional meteor across the sky broke the tranquility of the night. On the runway of the South Kyushu Military Airport, two beams of strong light suddenly lit up, which was the signal that the Goshawk Fighter Squadron and the Angry Dragon Bomber Squadron were about to take off. As the roar of the engines gradually intensified, the entire airport seemed to be awakened, filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.
"Goshawk Squadron, prepare to take off!" Colonel Lan's voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every pilot through the radio waves. He stood in the control tower, staring at the radar image on the screen, and maintained close communication with the ground tower and the command center.
"Ground tower, this is the Goshawk Squadron, requesting permission to take off." The lead pilot of the Goshawk Squadron reported calmly to the ground tower.
"Goshawk Squadron, take-off permission has been approved, the runway is cleared, and wind direction and speed have been reported. I wish you a successful mission." The ground tower responded quickly and sent the latest weather information to each fighter.
Following the command from the tower, the fighter planes of the Goshawk Squadron slid off the runway one after another, accelerated, and rose, quickly blending into the night sky. Then, the Angry Dragon Bomber Squadron followed closely behind, took off into the air, flew in formation, and headed towards the target city of Kashima.
During the flight, Colonel Lan maintained uninterrupted communication with the two squadrons through the command center. "Attention, all squadrons, please ensure that all systems are in optimal condition before entering enemy airspace. Especially the electronic jamming system, once entering the enemy area, activate it immediately to paralyze the enemy's radar system." His voice was calm and firm, and every word revealed his rigorous attitude towards the mission.
"The Goshawk Squadron understands that the electronic jamming system is ready."
"The Angry Dragon Squadron received the message and is checking the system status."
The pilots responded to the Blue Colonel's instructions. They adjusted their flight attitude and altitude according to the predetermined plan, while paying close attention to the enemy's dynamics on the radar screen. When approaching the sky above Kashima City, they quickly activated the electronic jamming system according to the Blue Colonel's instructions. Suddenly, a powerful electromagnetic pulse wave spread out in all directions, successfully interfering with the enemy's radar detection and tracking.
"Report to the commander, the enemy's radar has shown signs of confusion and has lost detection capabilities in some areas." The lead pilot of the Goshawk Squadron reported the results of the battle to the Blue Colonel in a timely manner.
"Very good, keep up the interference and prepare to carry out the bombing mission." Colonel Lan nodded with satisfaction. He knew that the success at this moment meant that the next bombing operation would go more smoothly.
As the electronic jamming system continued to work, the defense network over Kashima City was gradually torn apart. Under the precise command of Colonel Lan Fang, the Goshawk Fighter Squadron and the Angry Dragon Bomber Squadron were like two sharp knives, piercing the heart of the enemy. A decisive air raid operation had begun.
Sitting in the dim command room of the underground fortification, Yamamoto Ryuka listened to the hasty report of the commander of the reconnaissance unit with a serious face. The commander's voice was a little flustered: "Report to the commander, five minutes ago, our radar system suddenly encountered unknown interference. Now the situation in the air is completely undetectable, and the field of vision has become a blind spot!"
Yamamoto Ryuka's pupils shrank when he heard this. His years of war experience made him immediately realize the seriousness of the situation. He quickly recalled the scenes of previous battles with the Chinese army, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This trick again..." In previous battles, the Chinese Air Force often adopted a preemptive strategy to interfere with the enemy's radar and communication systems, seize air superiority, and then carry out effective air strikes.
"Initiate the emergency plan immediately!" Yamamoto Ryuka's voice was deep and powerful. He quickly issued a series of orders, "Let the Fufeng fighter formation take off urgently and patrol the airspace in all directions. No UFOs can be missed. We must remain highly vigilant!"
Following Yamamoto Ryuka's order, the underground fortifications became busy, and the signalmen quickly conveyed the order to various air defense units. The pilots of the Fufeng fighter formation received an emergency call, and they quickly put on their equipment and ran to their respective fighters. In the hangar, the lights were on, the engines roared, and fighters were ready to take off on the runway.
At the same time, Yamamoto Ryuka personally ordered the entire air defense system to enter a first-level alert state. Anti-aircraft turrets, anti-aircraft machine guns, and all other air defense facilities immediately entered combat readiness, and radar maintenance personnel also urgently assembled to try to repair the damaged radar system and activate backup equipment to maximize the restoration of air surveillance capabilities.
"Notify all troops to be alert and be ready!" Yamamoto Ryuka's voice echoed in the communication channel, and his tone revealed unquestionable determination. He knew that in this race against time, any negligence could lead to disastrous consequences.
The tense and orderly atmosphere in the entire command room reached its peak.
All personnel performed their duties and devoted themselves to the preparation for this sudden air defense battle. Yamamoto Ryuka stood in front of the map, staring at the unknown night sky, praying silently in his heart, hoping that his defense could withstand the coming storm.
