Chapter 1485 Peace-loving People (Third update, please subscribe)
In this world, courage is undoubtedly the most admirable!
There is no doubt about this, and the courage shown by Kutunetsov and his men is definitely worthy of admiration. After all, when they lose their command, many people will blindly wait for the order to arrive.
But these people chose to fight when they lost their command.
When they flew into the sky in the MiG-21 fighter jets, they did not know that they had been exposed - hundreds of kilometers away over the sea, the radar on the early warning aircraft had already discovered this group of aircraft. And immediately sent the location of the enemy aircraft to the covering aircraft group.
At this time, it will be dawn!
Although there is no radar guidance, pilots from the Soviet Union, the Czech Republic, and Jakarta still search for targets visually.
“Be careful, their F2 fighter carries a fire control radar, it is an all-weather fighter!”
Kutunesov keeps in touch with his men through radio stations. Compared with electromagnetic For land with serious interference, electromagnetic interference in the air is very weak.
“Understood!”
When Pudovkin answered, his eyes searched for the target in the sky. Where is the target?
Although the MiG-21 fighter jet they were flying was an active model allocated from the Soviet Air Force, the MiG-21F13, although it could fly twice the speed of sound, had no radar, which was its biggest problem.
Because of this, Pudovkin can only search for targets in the air visually. However, as an advanced fighter, it can carry two AA2 atoll missiles, which are similar to SEA defense The equipment company's infrared-guided air-to-air missile "Sidewinder" has roughly the same diameter and weight, but its performance is far different.
Even so, it is still a very threatening short-range missile. It is the best air-to-air missile of the Soviet Air Force.
While they were searching for the target, the search radar of the F2 fighter piloted by the SeAF pilot had already discovered the target.
"Target found, location..."
As soon as the target was discovered, Du Dewei began to lock on the target. Although the distance was more than 30 kilometers, his plane carried 4 Sky Lightning medium-range missiles.
His first victory was achieved by using Sky Lightning missiles during the Iraq crisis.
Now, as in the past, after discovering the target, he did not hesitate at all and immediately launched the Sky Lightning missile. Although this missile was developed on the basis of the Sparrow missile, it used integrated circuit guidance The new technology of the first level makes it have a higher hit rate, and the new engine not only has an extremely slight wake, but also gives it a longer range.
After the Sky Lightning missile is launched, it flies towards the enemy aircraft under the illumination of the fire control radar. This is the biggest shortcoming of the semi-active guided missile.
At the same time, the radar warning device of Pudovkin's plane rang. Perhaps the MiG-21F13 fighter jet did not have a radar, but it was equipped with radar warning equipment. When it was locked by the radar, he immediately drove the plane and tried to escape the lock.
Although Pudovkin fully demonstrated his flying qualities, he still could not get rid of the lock.
“I am locked by an enemy plane!”
When Pudovkin told his superiors about his situation through the radio, two Sky Lightning missiles had already flown in.
With a loud noise, Pudovkin's MiG-21 was shot down!
In the violent explosion, he didn't even have a chance to parachute, and the plane fell to the ground dragging black smoke.
The battle begins!
Although the battle was unfair, under the guidance of early warning aircraft and fighter radars, Du Dewei and his comrades were able to launch attacks from long distances and shot down two MiG aircraft in the first time.
But the battle was just the beginning. In just a few minutes, the two sides entered the visual stage. After the missile guidance head locked on the enemy aircraft and made a "didi" sound, Kutunetsov The missiles were launched immediately, but the accuracy of the lagging infrared seeker was very poor, and both missiles missed.
Basically, the missiles launched by Soviet pilots and Czech pilots failed - because the missile's infrared seeker has no cooling and has primitive performance. Attacking a mobile and flexible fighter jet is basically the same as a rocket. It cannot be said that , they still shot down a plane, one of their own MiG-17!
So the close-range air battle began, and the F2 not only relied on its excellent dogfighting performance to shoot down enemy planes with Sidewinder missiles one after another, but also used cannons to shoot down enemy planes many times.
However, the excellent air combat skills of Kutunetsov and others have also been put to good use at close range, and the MiG-21 itself is an extremely excellent fighter.
For a time, the sound of cannons in the air continued, and Sidewinder missiles roared in the sky from time to time.
This was the largest air battle in the Pacific after World War II, 18 versus 32. Although Jakarta had an absolute advantage, their flight was lagging behind. Except for 16 MiG-21s, the remaining The 16 aircraft are all MiG-17s and MiG-19s.
Although the aircraft were very backward, the pilots in Jakarta had an extremely strong desire to fight. With their good flying qualities, they actually fought to a close with SEAF.
Although planes were shot down from time to time in the sky, Kutunetsov and others did not retreat. With the MiG-21's maneuverability like an aerial lance, he launched many one-shot attacks against enemy planes. As a veteran pilot who had participated in the Peninsular War, Kutunetsov appeared extremely calm. He locked onto enemy aircraft many times and launched attacks with 30mm cannons.
"Just shoot down one, just one..."
Although Kutunetsov prayed like this in his heart, he was destined to be disappointed, and not only Simply because he found that the quality of the SEAF pilots was not inferior to that of American pilots. What's more terrible is that the F2 fighter jets are more flexible. Whether it is a cannon fight or a close-range missile fight, each of them is simply a killer in the air.
“Damn it!” Another MiG-21 was shot down!
This air battle was fierce, but the result was already determined. After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, they lost almost half of their fighter jets.
Although he did not shoot down a SEAF fighter, after running out of fuel, Kutunetsov ordered a retreat. During his retreat, two more MiG-19s were shot down!
This air battle ended with the SEAF shooting down 17 enemy aircraft and losing zero to itself.
But no matter what, they defended the dignity of the Soviet Red Air Force to a certain extent. This air battle was of great significance to the Soviet Red Air Force - it made them aware of their technological gap.
At the same time, a new round of air strikes also launched.
Because of electronic interference, the SAM-2 anti-aircraft missile outside Jakarta became blind. Although the Soviet military advisers initiated anti-jamming measures many times, they still could not detect the enemy aircraft in the air and could only watch the bombs fall on the position. - Laser-made missiles accurately destroyed the missile's search radar.
With only a few bombs, the anti-aircraft missile launch system worth millions of rubles suffered a devastating blow.
At the same time, the F4 fleet carrying multiple laser-guided bombs was like a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, dropping laser-guided bombs on the target one after another.
Unlike during the Iraq crisis, when less than 200 laser-made bombs were used, this time in the first round of air strikes, the attack fleet dropped more than 500 laser-made bombs.
After experiencing the earth-shattering explosion, Jakarta ushered in the dawn of March 24.
Ordinary people had not closed their eyes since 3 o'clock in the morning. After dawn, some citizens boldly and curiously went to see the main places in the city that had been bombed into rubble.
It seemed a big miracle that they survived the night before. Because they were ordinary people, it was impossible for them to know that these smoking ruins had been carefully selected and hit with extremely accurate attacks. There is no danger of being bombed.
But it was the ruling group that was really frightened - even though Sukaro was beheaded when leaving the presidential palace, the vice president and others organized a provisional cabinet as soon as possible.
After learning that SEA had launched an attack, while asking the Soviet Union for help, they also had an expectation in their hearts. They originally expected to carpet bomb the city, which would cause residential areas to be flattened. Thousands of innocent civilians were killed. This kind of massacre scene will be watched by reporters, and will be filmed and videotaped by the news media for the people in the butcher's country to watch.
This will set off a global wave of opposition to Li Yi'an and SEA, forcing the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency meeting, at which time the Soviet Union and other countries will veto further massacres.
But now, a feeling almost desperate came to their hearts. As far as the generals in Jakarta knew, the bombs fell generally where they were targeted. Since every major military installation in Jakarta is built in densely populated residential areas, it should be impossible to avoid massive civilian casualties. However, an inspection of more than a dozen command centers, telephone buildings, radar bases and communication centers in the city that were bombed into ruins found that those buildings that were not listed as targets had survived, but the glass windows were shattered.
In other words, the massacre they expected did not happen. At the same time, they lost their charge against the troops and became blind, deaf, and of course mute!
“We need dead people!”
After Sukaro was beheaded, Hatta, who succeeded the president as vice president, said in excited words
“We need Expose their atrocities to the world! ”
In the basement of the Presidential Palace, Hada said:
“Now, we have to take some measures!”
What kind of measures?
The measure was very simple, that is, placing some corpses, some civilian corpses, and even children's corpses near the crater. In the afternoon, reporters were taken to see the scene of this heinous atrocity.
While trying to use the body to gain international sympathy, faced with scowling cabinet members, Hada said:
"Well, now is our second war of independence! Maybe you will say that we need to accept their ultimatum, but... we must not surrender! We must defend our country at all costs!
Since we were able to defeat the Dutch and win our country's independence, now we can also defeat They!"
Looking at the crowd, Hada said:
"And the Soviet Union is on our side! We will win this war with the support and help of the Soviet Union. br>
And that barbaric country cannot occupy our country with the opposition of the whole world
All countries in the world that support justice will stand by our side. "
When Hada said these words, several cabinet members secretly thought in their hearts - is the support of people all over the world important?
Can it withstand bombs from the air? ?
This is a very simple question, but No one said it. After all, such pessimistic words are more often the language of capitulationists.
"Soon, believe me, soon, with the support of people all over the world, we will. We will surely be able to defeat these enemies and regain our independence and our dignity. ”
Hada said in an excited tone.
"I believe that the final victory must belong to us."
