Chapter 770 Anti-infrared and heat-seeking systems
An hour ago, on the fourth floor of the newly expanded military airport in Orlando, USA, Li Mei, who held the rank of lieutenant general, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, with her hands on the table, surrounded by a major general and several school-level officers.
Looking at the Golden Eagle and P-52 Thunderbolt fighter jets in the airport, he pursed his lips into a thin lip line and said with firm eyes: "Tell the radar station ahead and let them confirm again!"
"Yes, sir!" a lieutenant colonel replied, and then picked up the phone. A few minutes later, he came back and reported to Li Mei: "General, after verification, the information is correct."
Li Mei stood up straight, then slammed her right hand on a red button in front of her, shouting loudly and forcefully: "Then let's fight! The Chinese are too arrogant, I want a hearty victory
Let Ouyang Yun regret his arrogance!"
As he pressed the button, a rather rapid whistle sounded at the airport. Amidst the whine of the whistle, dozens of heavily armed pilots rushed out of the waiting room and rushed towards their respective fighters.
Ouyang Yun let the first batch of women's volunteers supporting the American Women's Mutual Aid Association fly directly over the airspace controlled by the US government forces. Afterwards, even his die-hard fans criticized this, thinking that his decision was too arrogant.
His opponents even believed that he should be responsible for the deaths of more than 600 female volunteer army officers - "I should immediately take the blame and resign to soothe the souls of those who died unjustly."
The pilots of the twelve Golden Eagles escorting them were also women, and they were all veteran female pilots with considerable flight time and practical experience. However, because Li Mei used three airports at once, more than 300 people under his command were involved.
All the fighter jets, including one hundred American Golden Eagles and more than fifty Thunderbolt jet fighters that the United States had just successfully developed, were thrown into the attack. Therefore, starting from the position of the women's volunteer aircraft group being captured by the American ground radar station, this air battle began
The result is already determined.
The squadron leader of the Chinese escort Golden Eagle squadron is named Xue Kaili, an air force captain who has just been married for three months. Because of her status as commander, the radar on the Golden Eagle she flies is the latest model among all the fighters in the fleet, with a radiation radius of
More than 300 kilometers. In China, Xue Kaili participated in the battle in the Ryukyu Islands and once shot down a Japanese water fighter plane. Because of this experience, You Xiaolian felt confident in letting her serve as the commander of the fleet.
The exact time was 6:43. When she noticed that several light spots suddenly appeared on the upper left side of the radar screen in front of her, she immediately spoke on the command channel: "Suspicious target found, team one, maintain combat formation; team two
, and raise it to 10,000 meters!”
After a few minutes, there were more and more light spots, and they began to move closer to the center of the screen. Even though she was determined, her mood couldn't help but become heavy. "Sisters, we can be sure that we have encountered enemy resistance, and we are all ready to fight.
!”
About a quarter of an hour later, when looming light spots began to appear in the lower right corner of the screen, Xue Kaili no longer dared to take any chances and immediately divided the first team into two groups. One group covered the return of the second team, while she led the other group.
Prepare to meet the enemy planes coming from ahead.
At 7:06, the two sides officially engaged in battle. The six Golden Eagles left behind, led by Xue Kaili, first used their own weapons and radar advantages to carry out over-the-horizon sniper kills against the incoming US aircraft. "Sisters, I am very happy to be with you.
You live and fight together! When you get underground, remember to find me, and we will gather together to kill the Japanese!" Xue Kaili shouted these words on the channel, and took the lead to kill the densely packed U.S. planes rushing towards her, and when a U.S. plane broke into
When it entered the red area on her radar screen, she decisively locked it with the automatic homing device, and then pressed the launch button of a medium-range air-to-air missile.
Since the Chinese Air Force applied air-to-air missiles to air combat, the major participating countries in the war, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain and Japan, have begun to imitate and study cracking techniques. However, missile technology and rocket engine technology, as well as infrared and heat-seeking guidance technology and electronic technology are closely related.
, and the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain and Japan lacked sufficient technological accumulation in these technologies. The result is that although scientists from various countries have made breakthroughs and even made achievements based on their original poor knowledge, the performance of the products they developed is far inferior to similar mature products in China.
There were too many, and it was completely impractical. Later, as the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain both fell out with China, it was impossible to obtain finished products or related technologies from China. Because of the urgency of the war, other than the United States and Soviet Russia, they still had the ability to continue to guarantee
Due to the continuity of research, other countries, including the United States and the Soviet Union, have devoted their main energy to researching countermeasures. In a spear-and-shield war, the technical requirements for shields are relatively low. Even advanced weapons such as missiles are no exception, at least
During this time period. Therefore, except for Britain and Japan, which did not have the conditions and energy, the United States and the Soviet Union developed technical means that could confuse or mislead infrared seeking and heat seeking.
Objectively speaking, there are still many shortcomings in the relevant technologies developed by relevant U.S. departments. However, Marshall was really eager for this victory. Under his strict orders, several arsenals controlled by the U.S. government could only work overtime to produce immature products.
anti-infrared and anti-heat-seeking systems, and a batch of them were urgently installed on combat aircraft before the war.
The commander of a U.S. fighter group taking off from the Orlando Military Airport was an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel named Wollaston. He was flying in the second echelon of the group. From a distance, he saw the first echelon flying in the distance.
Suddenly there was a burst of fire in the belly of the enemy plane. He immediately realized that this was a sign of launching a missile. Without hesitation, he shouted in the command channel: "The enemy plane has launched a missile at us, a decoy bomb. Throw the decoy bomb immediately."
!”
Under his command, due to the relatively long distance, the more than ten American Golden Eagles flying in the first echelon couldn't tell which one the attacking missile was targeting, so they climbed up quickly one after another, and then pulled the straps tied to their seats.
nylon rope on.
That's right, because the technology is not mature and the installation and control methods have not even been designed, the so-called anti-infrared and heat-seeking systems developed by the Americans are actually a time bomb plus a rope-pulled delivery device.
As long as the rope is pulled, the time bomb hanging under the belly of the aircraft, like an oversized basketball, will fall off and start timing. Then it will explode five seconds later and release a large number of tinfoil fragments.
The so-called anti-infrared and heat-seeking system developed by the Americans is really immature. No, a total of thirteen American Golden Eagles participated in this tin foil drop operation, but only eight were successful. The two most unlucky ones were because
There was an error in the timing device of the "super-large basketball" that the pilot was carrying. As a result, the explosion occurred just after the pilot pulled the rope. Although the explosion was not powerful enough to cause fatal damage to the fighter plane and the pilot, it frightened the two pilots and almost killed them.
He became incontinent of urine and feces on the spot.
