Chapter 284 Investigation Request

"171st Regiment, 171st Regiment, attention, eleven o'clock direction, distance eighty, target number ten." The voice on the radio was very clear.

"The 171st Regiment received it." The regiment commander Constantine replied on the radio.

The 171st Regiment of the 11th Army was originally stationed in Chukotka. After the northern part of Hokkaido was recovered, the 171st Regiment moved into the Asahikawa Air Force Base. As the front line of the conflict, this is a forward field base, and all of them are equipped with MiG-23 fighters. After the MiG-23 was modified, this flying regiment was also one of the first units to be equipped with new fighters.

Constantine was very excited as he could focus all his energy on air combat while flying a fighter with automatically controlled swept wings. In the past, they seldom flew over the south. After taking off, they always flew north and conducted training in the northern airspace.

And now, they can finally compete with the air force of the opposing island country!

The fighter planes flying from the opposite side were from Chitose Base. Both sides took off very quickly. Almost as soon as they took off and climbed, they entered the attack course. Under the command of the early warning aircraft, the island nation's fighter planes from Chitose Base were also quickly approaching.

Although they were the first batch of fighters to take off, and although the consumption of F-15 fighters meant that they could only use F-4 fighters as the main force to fight back, they were fearless because behind them, a large number of F-15 fighters from the Honshu base would take off and join their battle!

Victory must belong to you!

With this idea in mind, the pilots of the island nation drove their fighter planes and continued to climb altitude. The straight-line distance from Chitose to Asahikawa is only 200 kilometers!

After taking off, turn on the radar and continue to climb higher, then you can lock onto the target! Once it is within visual range, fire the Sparrow missile you are carrying!

"Attention, the enemy plane has launched a medium-range missile!" The Moss early warning aircraft sounded the alarm.

Even if the carrier aircraft did not sound an alarm, the sound of the radar warning receiver in the headset continued to come, letting the guys of the 171st Flying Regiment know the opponent's actions.

Turn sideways to get rid of it! The MiG-23 fighters all turned sideways, using the characteristics of pulse Doppler to unlock the opponent's radar. After losing the target, the Sparrow missiles flying over would become uncontrolled rockets!

The alarm sound in the earphone disappeared, and Constantine pushed the operating lever to make a second side turn. The previous side turn, while getting rid of the lock, also made him get farther and farther away from the opponent. The next side turn became an S maneuver and he rushed towards the target again.

Constantine, who had sharp eyesight, had already spotted the target at a distance of twenty kilometers. He pushed the nose of the plane forward, ready to engage in combat!

"Most of them are F-4s, there are only four F-15s!" Constantine shouted on the radio. As the distance got closer, he could clearly see the models of the enemy planes.

They actually used old F-4s to fight! Let's see how powerful the Soviets are! Constantine's fighter planes charged into the Plaster Flag's fighter planes without hesitation.

Since they took off early, the F-15 fighter jets of Gaoyaoqi were not grounded. However, the F-15s were badly beaten by the MiG-23 in the air battle a few days ago, which made these guys feel scared. When they saw this kind of strange fighter jet coming, they felt numb in their hearts.

Two hundred kilometers away, over the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

"It's a bit strange." Pushing open the visor of his flight helmet, Andre said to the radar operator behind him, "The Americans must have been prepared. Why are they so slow to move out now?"

The main force of the Air Self-Defense Force of the island nation of Hokkaido has been dispatched, so why haven't the planes at the Honshu base in the south taken off yet? If it weren't for the Moss early warning aircraft providing all-round air warnings, Andre really thought that the Americans were hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Without seeing the Japanese, without seeing a large number of American troops, our fighter planes cannot take off at will. After all, the time the fighter planes can stay in the air is limited. What if this is a trick of the Americans, allowing our fighter planes to take off early, and then when the fuel is almost consumed, they will come to attack in large batches, and our side will be in trouble.

The third-generation aircraft had not yet entered service. The existing MiG-21, MiG-23, MiG-25, and Su-15 were all powered by turbojet engines, which were inherently fuel-intensive. Furthermore, they were designed with the original concept of front-line fighter aircraft in mind. In addition, the Soviet Air Force and Air Defense Force did not have sufficient aerial refueling capabilities. All these factors led to the inability of the Soviet air force to be fully deployed hastily.

Therefore, they could only watch the fighter planes of their own 171st Regiment and the Plaster Flag fighting each other in the sky over Hokkaido, while the sky in the south was terrifyingly calm.

What's going on?

In order to avoid attacks on its precious early warning aircraft, Moss has been cruising in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and has been unable to detect the situation at various air force bases on Honshu Island.

"Kushiro, Kushiro, 032 requests to go to the airspace over southern Hokkaido for reconnaissance." Andre pressed the call switch and shouted on the radio.

The MiG-31 has a powerful radar and can be used as a small airborne early warning aircraft. At the same time, the MiG-31 has the advantages of height and speed and can be used as a frontline early warning aircraft!

Andre didn't know that the main F-15 fleet of the United States had been grounded and unable to take off for more than a week. He thought the Americans had a new conspiracy, and he wanted to conduct reconnaissance over the state!

"032, pay attention to your mission! Escort our most valuable early warning aircraft!" The voice of Commander Kushiro came from the headset, his words were majestic and a little anxious.

The promise was to escort from a distance and not participate in any battles, which made others agree to let Andre take off. This time, it was a big battle after all! However, Andre did not expect that he would make such a request after being in the sky for less than 20 minutes. He would fly alone to the southern part of Hokkaido for reconnaissance? He would have to cross several ground-to-air radar positions on the way! What if the Americans developed an anti-aircraft missile with a firing height of more than 25,000 kilometers?

"In the name of the commander-in-chief, I now order No. 032 to change course and investigate the takeoff and landing of US military aircraft on Honshu Island!" Andre's voice was not loud, but it made everyone who heard it go crazy in their hearts.

Next time, we must not let Andre go to the sky. This guy can’t control his impulse again and is about to start the crazy mode!

Unfortunately, Andre is the supreme commander of the entire Hokkaido. Once he reveals his identity, no one dares to order him around. He is now commanding 032 in the name of the supreme commander!

Turning on the afterburner, Andre piloted the huge MiG-31 interceptor and flew towards the southern airspace.
