Chapter 365 The first level
"The first and second squadrons deal with enemy planes, and the third squadrons cover bombers"
Qin Yu, the captain of the second fighter brigade of the Third Air Force Fighter 3rd Air Force, immediately rushed straight towards a Jacques 25 after issuing a simple order. Just as the latter opened the afterburner climb to seize the height, he quickly threw down all the auxiliary fuel tanks. ∑.
Immediately afterwards, the Jacques 25 dived, and the two cannons ejected flames instantly. The traced line of fire was whipped down like a long whip. Zhuifeng, which had extremely excellent low-altitude performance, cleverly avoided the first round of attacks, suddenly raised his head and turned backwards and leveled it, trying to grab the enemy plane and launch missiles in the back half of the field.
However, the maneuverability of Jacques 25 is not inferior to that of chasing the wind. Just as chasing the wind completes the steering, it also completes the steering with an extremely small radius not far away. The two fighters rushed towards each other almost in a head-to-head posture.
Just as the radar sight locked the target, Qin Yu pressed the fire button without hesitation. The thirty-mm Arden cannon immediately ejected flames, but the Jacques 25 dodged the dense shells with his dexterity that was no less than his previous action, and then used a series of shells to revive his attack.
"Ma, I really met an opponent."
Qin Yu, who was hiding away, smiled and said.
The pilots on the Georgian aircraft carrier were all elites, and they even had changed vests to fight the US military on the battlefield of Goryeo. There were only ten ace pilots who had shot down more than five ace pilots, not to mention that the hovering, speed and climbing rate of Jacques 25 were all comparable to Zhuifeng. At this time, not only him. All the Ming army pilots who were fighting with the Soviets realized that they had encountered a real opponent.
The Soviets were not inferior to them in terms of technical level or aircraft performance. Moreover, because they used refrigerated lead sulfide seekers, their Pili air-to-air missiles only had the attack capability in the rear half of the field, so it was not easy to seize the launch position in front of Jacques 25.
Fortunately, the mission of the Fengfeng fighter is only to restrain the Soviet fighter, and they are not the protagonists of this battle.
At this moment, the Canberra bomber fleet flying in high altitude had begun to descend.
"Aircraft carrier. I saw the aircraft carrier."
On a Canberra bomber, Lin Ming, a Ming bomber pilot, roared excitedly, and in the vast blue color below him, white trails were particularly eye-catching.
"It is prohibited to attack four aircraft and one group of aircraft carriers, target enemy cruisers and destroyers, do not fight, and complete bomb drops as quickly as possible."
But at the same time, the command from the captain of the bomber brigade came from the radio.
“Uh, why?”
Lin Ming said in surprise.
"Where do you come from so much? How many minutes do you think the oil that chases the wind can last for the battle?"
The captain said angrily.
Indeed, the 800 kilometers away from the base is already the limit of the combat radius of chasing the wind. It is only obtained by hanging three auxiliary fuel tanks. If you don’t hang so many auxiliary fuel tanks, you can’t fight at such a long distance. After reacting, all the Ming army pilots who were holding their strength to fight the aircraft carrier on the bomber put away their little thoughts and quickly determined their attack targets. Lin Ming was the first to fly to the Orzhongnie Qize cruiser below.
At the same time, like other Soviet warships on the sea, all the air guns were raised, especially those 100 mm fully automatic anti-aircraft guns, guided by radar and fire control systems, and then began to spray flames at the fastest speed. Large-caliber anti-aircraft gun shells flew to a height of ten thousand meters at several times the speed of sound. Under the action of the radio near-explosion fuse, balls of black smoke immediately exploded from the Canberra bomber that was constantly approaching.
At the same time, on the Georgian aircraft carrier, which was escorted by the warships, the second batch of eleven Jacques 25 fighters also began to be launched one after another.
The wind-chasing fighter that guarded the bomber also rushed over.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the bombing, Lin Ming braved the anti-aircraft artillery shells that exploded nearby and kept decreasing the altitude. After all, this is to attack moving targets at sea. Laser-guided bombs are not missiles, and they do not have the maneuverability of missiles. It doesn’t matter if they attack fixed targets, and attacking moving targets at sea is also troublesome, because bombs can fly at high altitudes for dozens of seconds or even more than one minute. During this period, the sea warships are in high-speed motion, and the bombers must keep illuminating it at all times.
At this time, the bomber is the target because it dares not perform large maneuvering actions, otherwise it will be easy to off-target. Therefore, the lower the bomb's height, the shorter the bomb's flight time, the shorter the time required to provide irradiation, and the probability of off-target will be greatly reduced. Of course, for pilots, the shorter the process of testing psychological quality will be.
But this does not mean that the pilot will have a better life, because he will have to fly in the fire net of anti-aircraft guns for longer.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Ming looked at another Canberra not far away, which was also diving like him, and shouted anxiously to his bomber and navigator.
Unfortunately, the Canberra was hit at close range by a 100-mm anti-aircraft shell. The explosion shrapnel made the right wing riddled with holes, and even a large hole was made on one engine. At this time, the machine had been shut down and rolled out thick smoke. The bomber also hurriedly dropped all the bombs and used the remaining engine to support the turn and return.
Just as Lin's shouting sounded, the bomber and navigator Yan Yan also pressed the bomb drop button. On the wings on both sides of the left and right, two 500 kilogram laser-guided bombs instantly left the mount. Then the front photoreceptor received the laser reflected from the Orchonnie Qize. The photoelectric induction quickly converted into a control signal to control the rotation of the bomb wings. The rudder effect allowed the bomb to fly straight to the laser illumination point according to the state the pilot hoped.
“Keep stable.”
Yan Yan, who was lying on a monitor and manually controlling the joystick, pressing the cross aiming line on the monitor on the target image, shouted loudly at Lin Ming.
Because Head Yang's electronic technology is not too advanced, the degree of automation is not very high. In addition to HNA's carrier-based aircraft, many are still in the era of manual control. After all, there are many high-tech things that must be kept as confidential as possible. HNA is easier in this regard, but most of Canberra, which are deployed outside, need to be extra careful in this regard, which is also the main reason why most land-based Chasing Wind use low-end versions of air-air missiles.
Lin Ming, who was yelled, looked at him with grief and anger, because at this moment, a series of tracers of shells were flying by not far away, and almost all the artillery on this side of the Orchonikize were firing wildly at him, especially because the distance was relatively close, the medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns could already hit him, and the dense shells kept flying around, and the impact of the explosion of the large-caliber anti-aircraft gun shells was also making the plane tremble constantly.
Although the two bombs only lasted for more than ten seconds, it was as long as a dozen hours for him.
Of course, for Yan Yan, in the blink of an eye, he heard this guy shouting suddenly: "Pull it up"
Lin Ming suddenly pulled the joystick like a fairy music. The Canberra bomber raised its head and climbed upward at the fastest speed. Almost at the same time, two huge fire balls in the middle of the Orchonnie Qize below exploded like an erupting volcano. Countless pieces of steel rose into the sky with flames. You can even see the turret of a secondary cannon flying up.
This scene made Kasatonov's heart hop. He finally knew that the intelligence was true. The Ming army no longer played with conventional bombs. They used the same weapons used by the Prussians to attack warships in the later period in the war. It was an air-to-ground missile. As for what kind of guidance method it was, it is unknown, but the accuracy of this guidance method was absolutely very high, so high that it could accurately hit the target like a direct-sighted artillery shell.
At this moment, the other two Canberras, which were in the same group as Lin Ming, dropped four laser-guided bombs almost at the same time.
The injured Orchonikize on the sea twisted his body desperately, and at the same time, the remaining artillery fired wildly, trying to avoid the deadly bombs flying towards him. Even the twelve 152 mm main guns raised the muzzle to the maximum extent and used radio near-bomb shells to keep firing at the sky. But all this was useless. The final result was to avoid two of them, but the other two fell on the 17,000-ton warship. The huge explosion even destroyed a main gun at the stern of the ship.
But the nightmare of this cruiser was not over, because there were two other bombs in the bomb bay of the Ming bomber. Lin Ming, who had been spinning around at a high altitude, then dived down, and the other two were also followed. At this time, the Orzhongnie Qize, facing one side of his air defense, was seriously damaged, and in fact he had almost lost his ability to resist, and could only continue to desperately follow the Zizhi route on the sea surface to avoid attacks.
Fortunately, two Jacques 25s in the sky, who were fighting fiercely with the wind, flew over at the same time despite the entanglement of their opponents. One of them was still three kilometers apart, and could not wait to aim at a Canberra and fire. A lucky shell hit the fuselage of a Canberra. Canberra, which was attacking, hurriedly pulled up.
Lin Ming and the others dared to throw bombs and guide bombs in the anti-aircraft artillery fire, but they did not dare to do so with the attack of fighter jets. That was no different from suicide.
However, these two Jacques 25s were also in trouble because there were two chasing winds behind them. One of them quickly entered the chasing winds in the launch range of the rear half of the field, and a Pili air-to-air missile was launched immediately.
The Jacques 25, which had just attacked Canberra, was so scared that he hurriedly turned on the afterburner to try to climb. However, it was definitely a wrong approach to start the afterburner after being locked by the Pili missile, because the consequence of this was that the infrared signal suddenly increased. Not only did it not throw away the missile, it insisted on itself even more. In just a dozen seconds, the Jacques 25 turned into flames that exploded in the air. To be continued.
