Chapter 99 - Night battle at altitude 8000
Hey, you bastards, I finally recognize you.
Chen Fei was sitting in the cockpit, a little awkward.
Except for video games, I have never really taken off by myself!
He saw the nearby No. 212 starting its turboprop. The short-haired girl in the front seat gestured at him and pointed to the outside of the hangar without a doubt.
Damn it, I just have to bite the bullet.
The first step is to fasten your seat belt.
The second step is to put on a helmet.
The third step is to open the communication channel.
“Rookie, are you ready?”
As soon as the call was connected, Illini Lucius's voice came over.
With a huge roar, a jet roared past the main take-off and landing runway, raised its nose, and shot straight into the sky.
Chekhov’s Big Bear ran away first, leaving behind the entire "True Fragrance" squadron!
Several other A-39B "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft rushed onto the runway, racing against time to take off one after another to fight for air supremacy for the 911 air service base.
“Ready.”
Chen Fei ignited the engine, and the nose turboprop rotated violently, and the vibrations transmitted to the fuselage quickly entered a balanced state.
After decades of continuous optimization, the PT6A series turboprop engine is a universal engine with mature technology that cannot be more mature. It has very few shortcomings, is fuel-efficient and has large output, reliable quality and stable performance.
The five blades stir the air at high speed, and the resulting reverse thrust easily drives the 3.5-ton fully loaded machine body.
The tower communication has not yet been restored, but someone is standing near the turboprop holding a large whiteboard, signaling it to the pilot in the cockpit.
Direction 253 (due west and slightly south)
Distance 65 kilometers
Height 8800 meters
Number 18
Speed Mach 0.4
Identified as A-39B "Big Mouth"
Identification code of friend or foe: 911-33585#
"Follow me as soon as possible, I will keep an eye on you, be braver."
With the deputy squadron leader "Devil Pepper" Ilini ·Lucious's voice, No. 212 slid out of the hangar, faster and faster.
On the main take-off and landing runway, the wingtip beacon lights of the turboprop aircraft were red and green as they soared into the sky, flashing continuously as they plunged into the night sky.
“Damn it, do it!”
Chen Fei gritted his teeth, increased the throttle output, and controlled the "Big Mouth Monster" to slowly slide forward.
At worst, we have to land again physically. At least we have a parachute this time, so we won’t fall too badly.
Since he was confirmed to be invulnerable, his courage has grown a lot, and he is no longer the honest kid he was more than a month ago.
This place, 911 Air Service Base... is poisonous!
Fortunately, the ground staff knew that he was a real rookie, and they guided him throughout the entire relay process. There was also a whiteboard with written instructions to remind him. No. 211 "Big Mouth Monster" slowly and leisurely slid onto the main take-off and landing runway. In the flying area, it is the last one, so there is no need to worry about other fighters urging you behind.
Chen Feizhen didn't dare to go too fast, he was afraid that if his little hand shook, he would crash into the grass, which would be a lot of fun.
War damage and self-inflicted damage are completely different things. He really can't afford to pay for a "Big Mouth Monster".
Especially at this juncture, to break up the fight before it even started, I guess Manager Hana was thinking of hanging Chen Fei up and beating him to death.
Straighten the nose of the machine, slowly push the throttle to the maximum, a strong push on the back pressed Chen Fei firmly on the seat, the speedometer started reading, 30km, 60km, 80km, 120km, 170km , 230km, 300km... pull the lever!
The level meter began to deflect, and the altimeter reading climbed rapidly. After a slight sigh of relief, Chen Fei's sight finally caught the figures of the other five "Big Mouth Monsters", which were hovering over the 911 Air Service Base, waiting. Own.
"Very good, rookie, keep climbing, we will follow you!"
The voice of "Devil Pepper" Illini Lucius reached Chen Fei's ears, her tone full of encouragement.
Although the take-off action was a bit sloppy and not crisp enough, at least it was a smooth take-off.
"What's the height? Where's the squadron leader?"
Chen Fei had no choice but to keep the angle at which the joystick was pulled back, allowing Unit 211's "Big Mouth Monster" to maintain a large radius and a large impact. After all, safety comes first.
He took a moment to glance at the ground. The few lights in the 911 air service base all dimmed, plunging him into darkness.
After the combat pilots took off collectively, the entire base entered a blackout, and all ground personnel were prepared for air defense.
“Climb to 9100 meters first, don’t worry about the ‘peanut butter’, he is going to do it alone!”
Elini Lucius responded while controlling her No. 212 machine to follow closely On the left rear of Chen Fei's No. 211 aircraft.
Except for Unit 215, the other four "Big Mouth Monsters" followed her Unit 212.
Before gaining a sufficient height advantage, do not consider directly facing the enemy for the time being.
"This is 215. The enemy has divided its forces. The first part is in the direction of 210, with an altitude of 7500 meters and a distance of 40 kilometers. The second part is in the direction of 290, with an altitude of 8000 meters and a distance of 45 kilometers."
After replenishing fuel and ammunition on the ground, the No. 215 "Big Mouth Monster" equipped with an electronic reconnaissance pod still took off to provide early warning and provide timely battlefield intelligence to other comrades.
Through the battlefield data link, each "Big Mouth Monster" can confirm the position, speed and altitude of both the enemy and ourselves.
The EMP that caused indiscriminate destruction created a large area of communication interruption, so that the enemy aircraft fleet was still unaware that the air power of the 911 Air Service Base had arrived and was trying its best to gain altitude.
A bright light flashed in the distance, illuminating half of the night sky.
"Devil Pepper" Illini Lucius said in surprise: "'Peanut Butter' succeeded."
Although the number of enemy aircraft groups occupies an absolute advantage, it is the "Zhenxiang" squadron Three times the combat strength, but the battle in the sky is not determined by numbers alone. High-speed and large maneuvers are enough to overcome the numerical disadvantage. As long as no mistakes are made, the ammunition carried by the "Big Mouth Monster" at full capacity is enough to teach the enemy. The opponent becomes a new person.
Then there was another light, and fires of various sizes slowly fell towards the ground.
Although the high-altitude weather conditions were good, with thin clouds and extraordinarily bright moonlight, it was still a bit unclear.
A group of enemy "Big Mouth Monsters" that were rushing towards the 911 Air Service Base were caught off guard by the calculated MiG-28 and suffered a big loss on the spot.
Although Chekhov’s Big Bear has a poor character, his professional qualities are quite outstanding, otherwise he would not have become a squadron leader that every pilot would be convinced of.
The enemy "Big Mouth Monsters" divided into two teams were knocked out on the spot. The MiG-28 did not hesitate to fight and left with one strike. The sky reverberated with loud thunder.
A turboprop cannot catch up with a supersonic jet with afterburner. The MiG-28’s afterburner speed is more than three times the maximum speed of the "Big Mouth Monster", and it can crush it almost without any suspense. pressure.
No wonder Chekov the Big Bear chose the MiG-28 as his combat vehicle without hesitation.
After several forced penetrations of the MiG-28, the team of "Big Mouth Monsters" was forced to disperse and completely lost its tactical formation.
The other party never expected that the 911 Air Service Base would be able to organize air power to fight after being beheaded and raided by an elite team from the Meman Brothers Joint Defense Consortium, which caught them off guard.
The 909 Air Service Base and the military contractors behind them heard about it. The Meiman Brothers jointly sent a mid-level combatant, a low-level magician and two E Superpowers above level 1, plus a group of elite warriors using optical stealth equipment. With such power, even the 909 Air Service Base itself cannot stop a sneak attack on the 911 Air Service Base.
"The altitude is now 9100 meters, the guidance is completed, the distance is 21 kilometers, it is about to enter the visual range, and the target is locked!"
The No. 215 aircraft, which temporarily acted as an early warning aircraft, took on its own tactical responsibilities," Captain Peanut Butter Chekov dealt with one formation of enemy aircraft, and their six "Big Mouths" dealt with another formation of enemy aircraft.
Although it is not a real early warning aircraft, after mounting the electronic reconnaissance pod, it has gained some relatively simple functions, such as guiding firepower, multiple target locking and battlefield dynamic trajectory collection, etc., which can be shared with the battlefield data link. Other fighters.
"Devil Pepper" Illini Lucius said loudly in the communication channel: "Aim at the target, FOX1, three, two, one, launch!"
After completing the climbing action , Chen Fei, who entered the wingman position, pressed the launch button together with other pilots.
The machine body shook, and the two programmable combat bombs broke away from the attachment points together. Fiery flames were sprayed out from the tail, pushing the missile body forward. The multi-mode seeker can select FOX before launching. -1 (semi-automatic electromagnetic wave guidance) mode, FOX-2 (infrared guidance) mode, FOX-3 (fully automatic electromagnetic wave guidance), FOX-L (laser guidance).
The squadron leader Chekov is now an elusive free man, and the deputy squadron leader, the short-haired girl, has become the combat commander of the turboprop formation of the "Zhenxiang" combat squadron.
"Everyone leaves, bearing 360, altitude 7000!"
With the No. 215 aircraft in charge of the early warning aircraft, the tactics will become very boring.
Ignore the missile launch and quickly move your position to prepare for the second attack wave.
This kind of battle is all about attacking first to gain the upper hand, and attacking later to suffer disaster.
With two rounds of fighting bombs, at least half of the "Big Mouth Monster" formation on the opposite side will be killed.
Turboprops can't even catch up with jets, let alone missiles. The hit rate of incoming missiles will be frighteningly high.
When the missile's locking signal was detected, the tail flames and contrails had already entered the visual distance. The nine enemy "Big Mouth Monsters" immediately became confused and launched fighting regardless of the situation. bomb.
It's a pity that firstly it was not locked, and secondly, the "really fragrant" "big mouth monsters" had already taken the opportunity to run away, so this wave of counterattack was in vain.
As for aircraft No. 215, which is equipped with an electronic reconnaissance pod and is still guiding: Come here.
In a sense, the early warning aircraft is a low-power EMP. It is not good at doing anything, but it is the first to cause trouble and cause congestion.
The missiles that flew over quickly fainted, scurrying around like headless flies, then exhausted their propellant and exploded one after another in the sky.
As expected, one of the two turboprop formations at the 909 Air Service Base was divided into two groups. Four of them were destroyed on the spot by the first wave of missiles, and two more were killed by the second wave of missiles. . Half of the nine enemy "Big Mouth Monsters" were destroyed without even seeing the enemy's shadow.
