Chapter 416 Fight!
Everything went smoothly on Gao Zhendong's side, and there were some new changes in other places.
On the sea in the east of our country, in the night, a large ship of several thousand tons was cruising on the sea, escorted by several small boats.
There are several rapid-fire cannons on this big ship, but these are not the main ones. These days, no ship that dares to sail at night, except fishing boats, does not carry some guns.
This is not entirely correct. Even fishing boats are not without guns at this time.
The special thing about this ship is that there are several large clothes drying racks and paraboloids on the deck. Some are constantly rotating, while others stand quietly, as if they are quietly listening to something.
The lights flashed between the small boat and the big ship. Under such close conditions, light communication is still very easy to use.
In the ship's command room, a lighting signal soldier came in to report.
"Captain, the 'fishing boat' requests supplies."
The captain looked at the time, nodded and said: "Reply and agree to the supplies."
Several small boats nearby came up, and things began to be hoisted down from the big ship.
Since the two ships on the other side were sunk by anti-ship missiles, their maritime power in this area has basically been unable to shrink. This sea area has become our world. If it were not for some Thinking about it, it is estimated that some small islands may not even be able to get supplies.
When the comrades in the navy saw this situation, they simply came forward!
I don’t mean to fight anyone. The core of the advance is this large ship of several thousand tons. The newly modified electronic reconnaissance ship is still being tested. This ship is difficult to protect itself against combat ships. It is directly It was even more reluctant to take action. It had two purposes.
The first is to get closer and monitor the aircraft sent from the other side.
Secondly, the signal will attenuate if the distance is too far. If you get closer, you can hear it more clearly.
The clothes drying racks on this boat are not just radar.
While receiving the supplies, the comrades on the boat smiled and said: "This is a good idea. Although we can't run far on the sea, after handing some of the supplies to the 'laundryman', there will be more problems. A part of it is missing. "
Laundryman is the code name of this big ship. Needless to say, the name comes from those big clothes drying racks.
The clothes drying rack on this big ship, I believe people in the industry can tell at a glance that it is a Yagi antenna. Yagi is a person, not eight pieces of wood.
Even this radar was directly modified from a land-based radar. The modification time was tight and the tasks were heavy. There was no time to develop a new radar. So we had to use a land-based radar first. Anyway, this ship is big and has no other tasks. The tonnage is still very generous.
After changing the ship and going to sea, you will always need to be escorted. This is not like in the future, when street runners can roam the streets with a single ship. At this time, there is a real war.
The several cannons on this ship are mainly for anti-piracy or emergency use. As for confronting the opposite party head-on, forget about this fat man who cannot run fast and is not flexible. It is not his job.
However, in terms of existing strength, large combat ships are already scarce in number and have heavy tasks, so only small boats are left that can undertake the escort mission.
There is a problem. The boat can run very fast, but it cannot run very far.
The comrades at the base thought about it and came up with a simple solution. In addition to a short period of water and normal ammunition, all the oil and most of the water in the small boat were placed on the big ship.
The big ship is both a escort target and a supply mothership. Although it cannot solve the problem of ocean warfare, it is still no problem to at least follow the big ship for three hundred kilometers and then escort it for a certain period of time.
In order to guard against enemy air power attacks during the day, it was inconvenient to supply supplies, so they were only carried out at night.
The living conditions in the small boat are very poor, but the comrades' fighting spirit is very high. Such a long distance has never been traveled before.
They are not the first batch of boats to come to escort. This makes the captains of several small boats quite regretful. They all know that the ones who come first are definitely the safest and most reliable, with better combat effectiveness and support work. They are the best group. After they verified the feasibility, it was the turn of these "not the best" to participate.
It was almost dawn, and the radar soldier on the big ship reported to the captain.
"Report, the target was found. Based on the echo characteristics, it was determined to be a P-2V electronic reconnaissance aircraft, direction xxx, course xxx, distance 180km, altitude 500 meters, speed xxx."
This The data comes from the height-finding radar that has just been successfully imitated. It is also our first radar that can measure the height of a target.
I put out a set just after the imitation was successful. I am still very determined.
For medium-sized air targets, the detection distance of this radar is about 200km at an altitude of 500 meters. The performance is good. However, if you look down, the effect on low-altitude targets is very poor due to ground clutter.
The first early warning aircraft we wanted to build was to be equipped with this radar, but due to downward-looking performance issues and other reasons, it ultimately failed.
Fortunately, if you install it on the boat and look upwards, the problem will not be a big one, and the performance can be fully exerted.
The captain looked at the target speed, then looked at the course, and sighed: "It seems that their P-2V has successfully escaped again."
Although their ship was newly rebuilt, But he is an experienced old man, and he can recognize the enemy target type at a glance. The P-2V escapes beyond the range of our warning radar at sea. Once it is safe, it will rise to an altitude of 500 meters. At this altitude, plus a distance of more than 300km from the shore, shore-based radar cannot detect it.
Flying at low altitude for a long time is very dangerous, and they cherish their lives.
I just didn't expect that there would be one of our electric reconnaissance ships here.
This made the captain of the electronic reconnaissance ship quite angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although he could see the other party, he couldn't reach it. In fact, at this time, both sides have nothing to do against the other.
On the sea, the other side really can’t do it here. I won’t go out to the head office.
In the air, the opponent's P-2V just can't be caught at night, and the most they can do is drive them away.
Strictly speaking, we need to be stronger, after all, if we come out from the other side of the sea, we will die. In the air, the opponent can only maintain a situation where they can run away.
Although I knew there was nothing I could do to defeat the enemy, I still sent a message to the headquarters to report the movements of the enemy P-2V.
Somewhere along the coast, a command center.
"Our 'laundryman' once again found the returning enemy P-2V, which is still 510km away from the opponent's island."
"This dog got away again!" A commander The officer slapped the table hard.
The other commander was thoughtful, thought for a moment and said: "Is our Tu-4 undergoing night flight testing?"
The previous commander looked up at it: " No, the weapon system has not been installed yet.”
The commander was still unwilling to give up the idea of Tu-4. He thought about it and his eyes lit up.
"It's almost dawn! It's farther east over there, and it'll light up earlier!"
"What do you mean?" The previous commander seemed to have remembered something.
"We sent fighter jets to intercept it! We couldn't intercept it before because its route was too far from the coastline and we couldn't find the target. If we occasionally found it, it would be lost quickly. But this time, we were the target discovered by the electronic reconnaissance ship that went out. Ah, I have the ability to follow you all the time!”
The previous person thought, yes! This time it was not the shore-based radar that discovered the target. I was blinded by past experience!
“According to the report of the electronic reconnaissance ship, the P-2V is flying 350km away from the coastline and 500km away from its base. This distance is enough for our fighter jets to fly over and intercept!”
In the command center, a group of comrades became more and more enthusiastic.
Not long after, the "laundryman" received a secret message.
"Keep tracking the enemy P-2V and use the XXX encrypted channel to report its position at any time."
It seems like an ordinary line of text, but the captain of the electronic reconnaissance ship felt something from it. Tengteng's murderous aura!
"Great!" In his opinion, whether he can beat him or not is another matter. He should fight first and then talk about it. Judging from this call back, it seems that he is going to take action.
He raised his head and gave orders to the radar men.
“Use the listening antenna to keep tracking the P-2V! The radar is turned on every 2 to 3 minutes to review the listening and tracking results!”
This is electronic detection The ship only needs to listen to the opponent's radar signal to roughly locate the opponent's position. The enemy is afraid of being attacked by our fighter jets from the air, so the radar is turned on at sea.
If you keep tracking with radar, the cunning and panicked enemies may be scared away. They are very afraid of death. As soon as they realize that they are being followed, they may immediately drop altitude and hide on the earth. Go inside the blind spot of curvature.
Occasionally turning on the phone and positioning accurately once in a few minutes can minimize the chance of alerting the enemy.
The captain turned his head and gave another order to the boat guarding him.
"Plan No. 2. The boats spread out in battle formation to protect our ship!"
The small boats knew that something was going on, and the electronic reconnaissance ship asked for it in Plan No. 2. They didn't know what to do, but they knew what they were going to do. Each boat entered complete electromagnetic silence, and the lookouts searched the sea surface, ready to attack the invading enemy at any time.
The sea here is busy. An order came from two fighter jets at an airport along the coast.
"Wuyi 01, Wuyi 02, take off immediately, heading to xxx!"
These two planes are on duty. Although they have not taken off, the pilots are always in the cockpit and can take off at any time. They will remain in this state until the end of the duty.
But I was lucky today and the wait was not in vain. The two pilots were very excited.
After receiving the order from the tower, the two fighter jets took off into the sky with the help of the ground crew a moment later and flew towards the sea to the east. When taking off with afterburner, the flames ejected from the tail nozzle pierced the the night sky.
After taking off, the two pilots received the mission.
——In the eastward ocean air, the enemy P-2V electronic reconnaissance aircraft that returned after cross-talking us was discovered. Stable tracking has been established. The superiors asked the two to quickly engage the enemy under ground guidance and strive to shoot it down. .
