50: The US military's ace Air Force major was defeated and killed in battle!

The defeat in the first aerial battle made Major Davis, who participated in the second battle for the U.S. Military, extremely cautious.

The moment both sides entered the airspace, Davis had his aircraft slightly offset its flight direction.

After all, the American military's luck with long-range targeting was too impressive; he had to be on guard.

Both aircraft crossed paths without firing during the process.

The moment the two planes passed each other, Major Davis executed a maneuver, a conventional climb followed by a loop, turning his aircraft around.

At this moment, Major Davis saw the American military aircraft that had just passed him.

The American military aircraft did not emergency maneuver like he did, but continued to fly straight ahead.

Davis felt a slight sense of relief.

According to air combat energy theory, he was now at a high point, behind, with an energy advantage.

So, Davis pushed the stick forward, maneuvering his aircraft to dive from a high point, directly towards the American military's F35.

Closer, close enough.

Major Davis fired at the American military aircraft.

But unfortunately, the American military also detected being outmaneuvered from behind, and the aircraft made a significant upward lift, with the fighter's tail almost grazing the whistling cannon shells.

Major Davis was diving, while the American military was climbing steeply, their intention obvious.

Major Davis's vigilance surged, and he quickly performed another defensive maneuver to avoid a possible high-altitude dive attack or rear attack from the American military.

In the next several rounds, both sides maintained this pattern of disengaging and circling maneuvers, with tentative firing.

Clearly, both sides were very cautious.

Major Davis demonstrated his excellent dogfighting skills, executing several excellent maneuvers.

However, the American military pilot's maneuvers were noticeably less skilled than his, but her predictive ability was very strong, often evading in advance before Davis fired, avoiding being caught off guard.

Davis attempted to get behind the American military aircraft into its rear hemisphere blind spot several times, but all failed.

The battle entered its latter half, with both sides having fired more than half of their cannon ammunition; from now on, they had to be more cautious, otherwise running out of cannon ammunition prematurely would mean losing the initiative.

And at this moment, the advantage of restricted airspace became apparent.

If the airspace were infinitely large and both aircraft had identical performance, as long as one side wanted to escape, the other would find it difficult to catch up, leading to an indefinite stalemate.

But now, under dogfighting rules, the airspace was limited.

Ultimately, Major Davis, relying on his more exquisite operational experience, managed to get on the American military's tail as they approached the edge of the airspace.

The American military tried several maneuvers, including feints, and although they avoided being locked on by the cannon, they could not shake off Major Davis's tailing.

And once the American military crossed the boundary, they would be judged as defeated.

Major Davis predicted that the American military had only one most realistic maneuver to escape.

That was to first perform a rapid vertical climb, hugging the edge of the airspace, climbing at a high angle of attack, and then an inverted loop, or a Bell maneuver, to shake off the tailing, and even successfully maneuver behind Major Davis's aircraft.

Of course, they could also adopt a nose-down, vertical descent maneuver, but this move was too risky; one mistake and they might not be able to pull up.

It's coming, it's coming—

The American military aircraft had reached the edge of the airspace, and its nose was about to turn.

In an instant, Major Davis slightly raised his fuselage, aiming his cannon at a position in the air slightly above the American military aircraft.

This was called predictive lead, and he could only choose the most probable point for a predictive attack, because everything was fleeting, with no second chance to choose.

Major Davis opened fire.

The cannon's firepower spewed towards that point.

But the anticipated scene of the American military aircraft being hit did not occur at all.

Davis suddenly realized that the spot he was shooting at was empty.

Missed?

Where is the American military fighter—

An instinct prompted Major Davis to look out to the left side of the cockpit, and his mouth instantly dropped open.

He saw that the American military aircraft, he didn't know how it did it, was now hovering almost at the same level as his own fighter, with its nose directly facing the side of his aircraft, and the cannon bay cover on its nose was open.

Before Major Davis could react, the American military aircraft also opened fire.

Dudududu—

Major Davis's cockpit was filled with alarms, and his aircraft plunged forward, out of the combat zone.

Being hit and leaving the combat airspace undoubtedly meant a loss.

Major Davis's mind was still in a white-hot state.

What just happened?

Why didn't the American military aircraft perform the maneuver he predicted, but instead did a rapid horizontal inward spin drift?

Could this move really be executed in such a short reaction time?

The American military pilot was a female pilot!

In reality, male pilots are generally stronger than female pilots.

Especially since current flight suits are primarily designed for male pilots and are not friendly to females.

And the high load the American military female pilot had to endure during that rapid maneuver would be immense, perhaps even he couldn't withstand it.

He was careless.

Just as he realized this, the radio suddenly turned on automatically.

“Davis, exit the cockpit, quick—”

Davis instantly sobered up, then realized the situation was critical.

Due to his daze and being hit, the F35 fighter was plummeting diagonally towards the ground, only a few hundred meters from the surface.

At the fighter's come down speed, it would hit the ground in one or two seconds.

No wonder the United States intervened urgently to warn him.

Major Davis instinctively reached to pull the ejection seat device.

But at the last moment, he hesitated.

Is this really okay?

Before the battle, the oath he made to Commander-in-Chief Aris still echoed in his mind.

“Commander, I will successfully shoot down the American military aircraft, I will not return until I win!”

Not return until I win…

Major Davis hesitated.

The next moment, the fighter crashed into the ground, exploding with a roar.

“Davis—”

On the United States side, many people instantly teared up.

And in the global live broadcast room, from commentators to viewers, everyone was collectively stunned again.

Holy cow, what happened now?

Why did the United States suddenly lose again?

And this time, even the person died!

—

The audience in the global live broadcast room was suddenly dumbfounded.

“Motherfucker, what the hell is going on, someone tell me?”

This second match was much more thrilling and exciting than the first, after all, the two fighters engaged in various dogfighting maneuvers, both dangerous and stimulating.

But even military novices could see that Major Davis, who participated for the United States, had better skills and more excellent maneuvers than the pilot from Darwin City.

And in the final dogfight, Major Davis clearly had the initiative.

Darwin City's fighter was forced into a corner, with no retreat, yet it managed to reverse the situation in one fell swoop?

What kind of trick is this?

After the military experts in the live broadcast room discussed for a moment via connection, the host and commentator explained the reason.

“Yu Xu, the pilot from Darwin City, seeing that she couldn't shake off Major Davis who was closely trailing her, adopted a bold and very difficult horizontal maneuvering turn when she was on the verge of the airspace edge.”

“This maneuver exceeded Major Davis's prediction.”

“Simply put, this maneuver is somewhat like an emergency drift U-turn in car racing.”

“This maneuver can perfectly avoid the F35 fighter's cannon attack, because the F35's cannon direction is fixed and can only fire forward.”

“At the same time, it can also significantly change her fighter's nose direction, even beyond a 180-degree turn, to gain the best firing position.”

“When Yu Xu, the pilot, completed this maneuver, regardless of whether she chose to fire, Major Davis's fighter would, due to inertia, fly out of the airspace edge, because he no longer had the space for a vertical maneuver.”

“It must be said that Yu Xu, the pilot, is amazing to be able to complete such a high-difficulty maneuver, and her timing control is also very precise.”

“She is also a female pilot, and at the moment of the maneuver, she had to withstand high-intensity loads that even male pilots might not be able to bear…”

“In any case, Yu Xu, the pilot, beautifully won this second aerial battle, achieving two consecutive victories.”

“Congratulations to Yu Xu, congratulations to the Anti-War Army!”

Since the air combat was a best of three, this victory already secured the overall victory for the Anti-War Army.

Therefore, in Darwin City, from Fang Le downwards, everyone watching the air combat live broadcast, both military and civilian, cheered wildly.

But at this moment, in the live broadcast room, the host and commentator suddenly said: “Wait a moment, the United States has an objection to the current judgment of victory and defeat.”

“Ah, I understand, the United States has a point.”

“Although Major Davis's fighter has been shot down by Yu Xu, everyone, look, Yu Xu's fighter is also dangerously skimming towards the ground; judging from the trend, it might also crash into the surface!”

“This is normal, after all, she just gained the initiative with a beautiful circling maneuver, but that maneuver will also cause the fighter to partially stall.”

“Moreover, the high load generated by such high-intensity maneuvers can easily cause the pilot to enter a critical state of syncope.”

“If she cannot recover in time, she might crash.”

“And according to the reasonable argument put forward by the United States, if she fails to pull up the nose in time before flying out of the airspace, then due to the rule of a limited arena range, her fighter will also be judged as crashed.”

“Then both sides will be mutual shoot-downs, each adding 1 point to their match score.”

With this explanation, in Darwin City, everyone's cheers came to an abrupt halt, and their hearts tightened.

Not only the Anti-War Army side, but also the audience in the global live broadcast room, and even most of the United States military camp, looked nervously at the fighter that was in a stalled state.

Human empathy made them subconsciously pray that the fighter would not crash.

Yu Xu, dazed, opened her eyes from a semi-conscious state.

She vaguely heard calls from her comrades.

Then she instantly sobered up.

The stall warning was sounding in the cockpit, and the aircraft was plunging diagonally towards the ground in a near inverted dive.

Without time to think, she quickly pulled up the nose.

However, due to her slightly delayed operation, the fighter was getting closer and closer to the ground.

At this moment, she had no distractions.

She simply focused all her mental energy on controlling the fighter.

Finally, at the last moment, just before leaving the airspace, she successfully completed the climb maneuver with the aircraft.

Seeing Yu Xu finally getting the aircraft out of trouble, and successfully climbing within the air combat's limited range, it could already be judged as successfully surviving.

The live broadcast ultimately ruled that Darwin City was victorious.

Two points accumulated.

Given the best-of-three rule.

The Anti-War Army could now declare victory in this duel.

Immediately, global public opinion erupted.

“Holy cow, the United States actually lost, and lost so clearly—”

“That female pilot named Yu Xu is too strong, two consecutive victories, incredible.”

“Hahaha, I really want to see the expression on the face of the United States Commander now, it must be quite a sight—”

However, the live broadcast host suddenly connected with both parties in the duel and asked: “Although the winner has been decided, it was an agreed best-of-three system after all.”

“I want to ask both sides, will you still participate in the third aerial battle? You have the right to refuse.”

The United States immediately stated that they would continue to send people to participate in the duel.

Before Fang Le could make a decision, a message suddenly came from Yu Xu:

“Chief, please allow me to continue participating in the third aerial battle!”

“Ah?” Fang Le was startled, “How can this be, you have already participated in two consecutive battles, absolutely not!”

Leaving aside the first match, in the second, given the high skill level of the American military pilot, Yu Xu must have invested a significant amount of energy throughout the match, plus she nearly stalled and crashed.

How could Fang Le still let her participate in the third match now?!
