When the Anjiajun strike group flew over Self Island, the Japanese radar discovered the uninvited air passengers approaching at high speed. However, in this short period of time, the Japanese army had no way to prepare for the battle.
"Bang bang——"
The explosions of anti-aircraft shells came intensively, and the anti-aircraft machine guns quickly spit out dense tongues of fire. In the sky, the afterimages of tracer bullets kept shuttled, and the shells exploded in the air with brilliant flashes, breaking the silent night, violent explosions
The sound annihilated the dull roar of the engine.
Lieutenant Colonel Tian Haohai saw dense tracer bullets flying towards the fleet and immediately issued an order: "All combat units disperse. Brothers, remember clearly the targets you are responsible for. This time, the Japanese fighter planes will be completely put down. Understand
Is it done?"
"yes!"
Hearing the neat reply coming from the earphones, Tian Haohai said "See you on the aircraft carrier" and accelerated the fighter jet towards the target.
The fleet of aircraft flying a hundred meters above the land quickly dispersed. The F2-A "Haitong Qing" carrier-based fighter jets that were originally following behind to escort the fleet caught up at high speed and took on the role of air security.
The F2-A "Haidongqing" carrier-based fighter is a single-engine fighter with a wingspan of 10.8 meters, a length of 8.35 meters, a height of 4.5 meters, an empty weight of 3.3 tons, a maximum take-off weight of six tons, and a fuselage of
It has a semi-monocoque fuselage structure with an all-metal load-bearing skin. Flat-head rivets and spot welding processes are widely used in manufacturing, and it is supplemented by a large-thickness aluminum alloy skin, making the surface of this carrier-based fighter jet look very smooth and round.
.
The "Haitongqing" fighter's landing gear doors, flaps, oil radiator bleed valves and gun loaders are all hydraulically driven, and the tailhook and wing folding devices are manually operated. The engine cover gills are
The electric control is closed. The control surfaces of the rudder, elevator and aileron are covered with trim tabs.
With the comprehensive fermentation of engine technology obtained from Germany and the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and other countries, Anyi Group's engine research and development capabilities have also developed by leaps and bounds. The "Haidongqing" carrier-based fighter adopts a 2250-horsepower variable speed increaser
Pressure the engine, and it can reach 255 in an instant when spraying water and adding power.
0 horsepower, maximum speed of 695 km/h, initial climb rate of 1950 m/min, practical ceiling of 12250 m. Maximum range of 2500 km, with a unique automatic engine control system that cross-links the throttle valve with the variable speed supercharger, extremely
The earth lightens the pilot's burden.
As an excellent fighter aircraft, its armament design naturally has its own unique features. The armament of the "Haitongqing" is two 20mm aerial cannons on both sides of the wings and 500 rounds of artillery shells. In order to accommodate the ammunition supply device, the aircraft designer
We specially added two teardrop-shaped protrusions on the cannon maintenance window on the wing surface, and the ammunition box was designed into the wing structure.
This 20mm aircraft gun is an improvement based on the Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft gun. It is 1980mm long, weighs 50kg, has a muzzle velocity of 866-900 meters/second, a range of 5100 meters, and a rate of fire of 500-800 rounds/
There are two types of projectiles: high-explosive projectiles weighing 135 grams and armor-piercing projectiles weighing 180 grams.
In addition to air combat weapons, the "Haidongqing" also hangs two additional four-hole rocket nests, which can launch eight rockets. The lower abdomen of the fuselage can carry 2,000 kilograms of aerial bombs, so it can perform bombing missions in place of bombers.
Of course, according to the division of labor this time, the "Golden Eyed Eagle" has been equipped with external aerial bombs. The "Haitongqing" naturally focuses on air combat, and even the rockets mounted are high-speed air-to-air missiles.
The pilots flying the "Haitongqing" F2-A carrier-based fighter jets made full use of the speed performance of their aircraft at this time. Before the "Golden Eye Eagle" and the bombers dropped their bombs, these excellent-performance fighters had already reached the Japanese army.
Over the field airport, we quickly found the Japanese fighter jets that had taken off in an emergency.
Of course, due to poor visibility in the air, fighter pilots on both sides were unable to lock onto their opponents, which was very beneficial to the attackers. The night effectively covered the Anjia Army's strike fleet, while the Japanese pilots could only rely on their senses to carry out air strikes.
shooting.
"Commander, Little Japan's field airport forgot to turn off the indicator light. This will greatly facilitate our operations!" came the excited voice of the reconnaissance plane pilot.
Tian Haohai's heart moved. He looked down from the cockpit and saw that in the night, the lights on both sides of the runways of the field airport built by the Japanese army were turned on. Although this greatly facilitated the takeoff and landing of the Japanese pilots, for the Anjiajun pilots,
But it is like a guiding light, and there is no need to spend extra energy looking for the target.
According to the combat plan, airport facilities such as runways, aprons, hangars, and oil depots were handled by bombers. However, the main target of the "Golden Eyed Eagle" was the air defense position where the Japanese army was having fun.
Lieutenant Colonel Tian Haohai piloted the fighter plane and rushed towards the place where the flames were constantly spraying. However, he did not dive immediately, but began to consciously climb up. At this time, the fuel in the "Golden Eyed Eagle" fuel tank had been consumed.
About a quarter of the height, the fuselage is much lighter, and the climbing speed will naturally increase a lot.
Tian Haohai felt the joystick he was holding vibrating violently. This was due to the reaction of the complex warm Indian Ocean airflow over Self Island. When the altimeter pointed to 1,800 meters, Tian Haohai quickly pushed down the joystick and released it at the same time.
The flaps on the wings of the "Golden Eyed Eagle".
At this time, the "Golden-eyed Eagle", like a real goshawk, turned over nimbly in the air, then turned its nose downward and dived towards the air defense positions that were spitting out tongues of fire.
A shrill roar sounded. The two anti-aircraft guns and more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns below immediately changed their direction. The searchlight beam also began to swing back and forth in the air in an attempt to lock the target. However, the Japanese army's movements still seemed too slow.
It only took Tian Haohai less than 20 seconds to turn into a dive and drop the bomb, and within this limited time, no anti-aircraft gun could successfully capture him.
The killing range of two 500-kilogram high-explosive bombs dropped one after another is enough to reach 200 meters, which means that in a circular area with a radius of 200 meters, all creatures without shelter protection will be killed.
.Almost all the artillery positions of the Japanese air defense positions are in this area.
When Lieutenant Colonel Tian Haohai leveled the fighter plane, two plumes of orange-red gunpowder smoke that were quickly becoming dim had already risen from the Japanese air defense position behind him. Two Japanese anti-aircraft guns and more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns, a
All of them became mute in an instant.
Through the bright and extinguishing flames of the explosion, he could clearly see several Japanese soldiers who were on fire rolling back and forth on the ground, while more Japanese soldiers were running wildly, trying to avoid the bomb's shock wave. But they were soon struck by
Caught in the smoke coming at high speed.
The name Self Island is quite common among the islands in the Indian Ocean. There are three islands named Self Island in the Seychelles Islands alone, and there are two islands named Self Island in the Mascarene Islands in the south.
Island. However, Self Island, which is the target of this air strike, is the largest of all Self Islands. It is three kilometers long from north to south, about two kilometers wide from east to west, and covers an area of about six square kilometers.
On this island, the Japanese army built six field airports and 15 air defense positions. However, under the attack of the Anjia Army air strike group, the Japanese air defense positions successively misfired, and bombers specially responsible for attacking the airport also succeeded.
The sixty S1-B dive bombers in this sortie were divided into thirty strike formations, and each airport was carefully "taken care of" by five strike formations. Each formation consisted of two bombers, separated by a distance of two hundred meters from each other.
Each S1-B dive bomber carries four 250kg aerial bombs, and each formation can drop eight bombs.
Since they do not need to strike too accurately, these S1-B bombers do not need to dive at high speed before dropping bombs. Instead, they enter at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees to the runway, and then, under the guidance of the indicator lights, they appear as if they are flying in the water.
The fish with eggs will also drop all the bombs in sequence.
For a time, violent explosions occurred one after another. Under such a density of aerial bomb strikes, the Japanese field airport was quickly paralyzed.
"Commander, our raid was successful!"
As the reconnaissance planes hovering in the sky continued to send messages, Middle School Principal Tian Haohai let out a long sigh of relief.
All anti-aircraft artillery positions near the Japanese airport were successfully blown up, and the six field airports were all set on fire. Some Japanese fighter planes parked near the runway were hit by aerial bombs. Because these ready-to-go fighter planes were fully loaded with
It became a good burning medium as fuel, and the raging fire illuminated the earth clearly, and the large crater caused by the aerial bomb on the runway was clearly visible.
This sudden night attack left the Japanese army in mourning. When the Anjia Army's air strike force set off to attack the important target on Self Island, the Japanese army's sneak attack fleet also completed its assembly and set off. Unfortunately, Anjia was not found in the scheduled sea area.
There was no trace of the military fleet, so they hurriedly searched for it, but found nothing.
Who could have imagined that the hunter would become the hunted prey. The Anjia Army aircraft fleet would actually abandon fleet air defense and take the initiative. When the Anjia Army strike fleet arrived, the Japanese airfield on Self Island was almost unprepared. Of course,
The Japanese fighter jets that scrambled from various airports still had a certain interception effect, causing certain losses to the Anjia Army carrier-based bomber group that conducted the raid. However, compared to the brilliant results, such losses were almost negligible.
When the first batch of strike fleets returned, battle reports from the front were sent back in a steady stream.
In the command room of the battleship "Triumph", Major General Chateauroux, the chief of staff, reported: "In this attack, we lost a total of twelve fighter planes. Nine of them were confirmed to have made an emergency landing off the coast of Cerf Island. Colonel Ouyang Mo has already
Arrange a seaplane to go to the rescue."
Intelligence staff officer Colonel Wen Xuan analyzed: "The targets that the first batch of strike aircraft groups needed to destroy have been successfully destroyed. The Japanese troops on Self Island have temporarily lost their ability to move, but the Japanese military airports on other islands can still threaten us.
The safety of the fleet. Is it necessary for us to carry out a second wave of air strikes now?"
"After all, the stock of missiles is limited. Whether it is ship-to-air, ship-to-ship missiles or cruise missiles, they are expensive to build. If the battle can be solved in other ways, there is no need to use unconventional weapons like missiles!" Zhao Lei put down the hand full of numbers.
In the battle report, he said seriously: "We must resolutely implement the preemptive strategy and continue to put tremendous pressure on the opponent without hesitation... By the way, how many fighters are there in the fleet now?"
Major General Chateauroux replied: "Except for the aircraft carrier Huashan, which was almost deployed in the first wave of strike groups, the other aircraft carriers only dispatched about one-third of their fighter aircraft. We can dispatch a force that is not inferior to that of the first wave of strike groups.
Air power, but in this case, our fleet defense will be truly empty!"
“It is entirely possible for the returning ‘Golden Eyed Eagle’ and ‘Haitongqing’ fighter jets to be responsible for fleet air defense.”
Zhao Lei quickly made a decision: "Both these two carrier-based fighter jets have a range of more than two thousand kilometers, and they can fly for at least one and a half hours after returning to the fleet. By then, our second batch of strike groups will have arrived in San Francisco.
The skies are over Pierre Island and Farquhar Islands. As long as we can completely destroy the Japanese airfield, we no longer need anti-aircraft fighters. Make arrangements as soon as possible and let the second wave of aircraft depart immediately!"
"Okay, I'll go deliver the order right away!"
After Chateaurou left, Zhao Lei came to the bridge outside. At this moment, political commissar Lieutenant General Zhou Zhenyuan had already taken a helicopter to the "Huashan" aircraft carrier to welcome the triumphant return of the first wave of strike groups.
The entire fleet was busy, all the aircraft carriers were brightly lit, and elevators brought the fighters previously parked in the hangar to the flight deck. New bombing missions were quickly assigned. Fighters and bombers had already hung bombs, and the pilots only needed to sit down.
Just enter the cockpit, then fly the fighter plane away from the aircraft carrier and fly to the target they need to bomb.
